SUBJECT: Status of Approvals from the Department of Ecology
for the Alderbrook Inn Sewage System
DATE: February 21, 1975
On February 18, 1975, I and Ron Robinson of this Department, met with
you, Patrick Fosse, Elden Reed, Don Leaf, Wes Johnson and Francie
Johnson to discuss, among other things, what information is needed by
the Department of Ecology before construction of the subject sewer
system can begin.
In February 1969, the Department of Ecology approved an engineering report
that recommended installation of an extended aeration treatment plant at
Alderbrook. This approval still stands. However, because of many changes
in the law, in the technology for treating sewage, and in the project itself,
this Department would require that the engineering report be updated when
and if Mr. Johnson decides to build.
As is the standard procedure (under RCW 90.48.110) when the design parameters
have been determined, those parameters and the detailed plans and specifications
for the sewerage system would be submitted to this Department for review and
approval. This approval must be given before construction of the system can
begin.
A few of the things that have changed since the conceptual approval of the
treatment system was given (and things Mr. Johnson will want to address in
updating the engineering report) are as follows:
1. The Department of Ecology requires that the system be owned, operated and
maintained by a public entity upon startup. Only under the most unusual con-
ditions would other arrangements be considered.
2. Provision must be made for advanced waste treatment on any sewage treatment
system discharging to Hood Canal.
3. The system be operated and maintained by a state certified sewage treatment
plant operator.

Re: Sewage Treatment at Alderbrook
Inn - Mason County
Dear bon:
The engineering report on sewerage for Alderbrook Inn was approved by the State
Health Department in 1969, with the provision that final plans for sewage col-
- leetion, treatment, and disposal facilities along with the outfall analysis
and design be submitted and approved prior to construction of the sewerage
system.
This provision, along with the requirements regarding operation and maintenance
responsibilities, must be completely satisfied prior to system construction.
Sincerely,
Eric W. Slagle y v

Mr. John Bariekman, Chairman Re: Sewage disposal system for
Mason County Commissioners proposed ALDERBROOK INN
Mason County Courthouse
Shelton, Washington 98584
Dear Mr. Bariekman:
On February 18, 1975, Pat Vosse, Don Leaf and Marjory Dilworth met with
Wes and Francis Johnson, Elden Reed of the Mason County Engineers office and
Richard Riley and Ron Robinson of the Department of Ecology. We have
communicated with Mark Spahr and Eric Slagle of the Department of Social and
Health Services.
Enclosed are memoranda from Richard Riley of DOE and Eric Slagle, DSHS.
The concensus appears to be that approval for construction will be granted
when plans and specification have been received and approved. Since a building
permit appears to be permission to start construction we feel that it should
not be issued, as such, until all plans and specifications for the entire project
have been received, properly reviewed and approved.
To expedite processing of these approvals we will make it our highest
priority when the required information is received.
Review of the project to this point has not revealed any exceptional
problems. We would expect to approve the project when the requirements have
been met.
Sincerely,
J.V. Deshaye, M.D. , D.P.H.
