State Route 3. The > > building will be used as a living aquaculture museum and education center and to 12 grow shellfish seed. The permits are approved subject to conditions. 13 TESTIMONY 14 Kell Rowen, senior Mason County Planner, summarized the proposal. She explained 15 that staff used the MCC 8.52.170(d)(3) buffer reduction process instead of a resource 16 ordinance variance for reducing the buffers of the project. In response to examiner questions, Ms. Rowen stated that in the minutes of the North Bay Historical Society, 17 Ex. 19, it was noted that the State of Washington would consider the nomination of the Oyster House as a historic landmark on condition that it was placed over water. 18 As to the need for over water construction, the County held a preapplication meeting in May that was attended by a representative of the Washington State-Department of 19 Ecology ("DOE"). There was discussion of keeping the building upland. The issue 20 was fully vetted and the Department of Ecology agreed that over water placement was necessary. A biological evaluation was sent to reviewing agencies instead of a 21 habitat management plan as required by the Resource Ordinance because the biological evaluation contains all the information required of a habitat management 22 plan. The county always accepts a biological evaluation in lieu of a habitat management plan from developers when both are required because the biological 2' evaluation includes all required information. As of the date of the hearing, the 24 Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife ("WDFW") and DOE had not made any comments on the requested buffer reduction. 25 SSDP/CUP P. 1 Findings, Conclusions and Decision Bonnie Knight, President of North Bay Historic Society, noted that when the Society I learned that the Oyster House would be destroyed they contacted the State and found 2 out it could be put on the historic register. 13 agencies worked together on preserving the Oyster House. An agreement was signed whereas monies originally earmarked 3 for demolition of the Oyster House would instead be used to restore and preserve it. Restoration had to be done over land. WDFW paid to have the building moved for 4 restoration work. It's the last known building of its type on Puget Sound. From the 1960s through the 1980s the University of Washington brought their aquaculture 5 classes to the Oyster House. The Oyster House will be used for continued 6 aquaculture education. Much of the original furniture will be returned to its original location. Two oyster companies will bring in their oyster by barge and use a 7 cantilever system on the building to hoist the oysters into the building. To show how oysters were historically hoisted into the building, the building must be situated over 8 the water. It is hoped that the University of Washington will bring back students to see how the Oyster House was operated. The project should have a big impact on 9 Mason County as a whole. Grants have been acquired from the state for restoring the 10 building. 11 Bill Rehe, project consultant, worked with DOE and the Tribe and there were initial concerns regarding overwater construction. However, once the impacts and 12 mitigation were understood the agencies were on board with the project. Mr. Rehe also had about a dozen meetings with WDFW and worked out mitigation to that 13 agency's satisfaction as well. The buffer is currently disturbed with concrete and 14 gravel for a parking lot and boat ramp. The parking lot will remain in place so there's no opportunity for any planting mitigation at the project site. Instead the applicant 15 will add 6:1 plantings to another waterfront parcel owned by the Port, the Kayak boat launch down the road. The existing boat ramp at the project site will be removed as 16 part of the mitigation. Removal of the boat ramp will free up natural drift processes, 17 which is considered a major benefit by the Tribe, DOE and WDFW. Mr. Rehe also confirmed that biological evaluations are much more detailed than habitat 18 management plans, 100 pages verses 10-15 pages for habitat management plans. Mr. Rehe is a marine biologist, was a WDFW habitat biologist for about five years and is 19 an Allyn resident. In his opinion, the proposal will result in no net loss of ecological function. No aquatic vegetation will be affected by the proposal. 25 cubic yards of 20 habitat mix, good for surf smelt spawning, will be added to the project site to take 21 advantage of the restored drift cell and removal of boat ramp. Aquatic vegetation will grow in the restored area quickly. There's drift and macro-algae in the area but no 22 eelgrass or kelp. The boat ramp is large and its removal will enable the growth of a significant amount of new aquatic vegetation. Even without the 6:1 planting, the 23 proposal would clearly result in no net loss of ecological function due to removal of the boat ramp. The 6:1 replacement is just voluntary and is not required by 24 development standards or necessary to mitigate the proposal. 25 Judy Scott, Port of Allyn Commissioner, expressed her support for the project and stated it was good for the community. SSDP/CUP p.2 Findings, Conclusions and Decision I Barry Betsinger, citizen, testified he's a former oyster picker from the 1960s and was 2 very familiar with everyone who worked at Sargent's. He worked 500 feet down the bay from Sargent's. The project needs to be put over the water for oyster harvesting. Enabling direct boat access to the building reduced direct handling of the oysters, which was necessary to maintain quality. The addition of conveyor belts and other 4 devices would result in more broken oysters and loss of product. The Sargent building has significant historical value because oyster processing jobs were the only jobs available to young adults in Mason County in the 1960s. The oyster jobs, which 6 were hard work,taught a work ethic and how to work with people. 7 In closing, Bonnie Knight noted that the County has paid for historical research on the project and it was discovered that just about everyone in Allyn in the 1960s had 8 worked in the oyster business. Over $200,000 in goods and materials has been 9 donated for the project. 10 In response to questions, Ms. Rowen noted that surrounding uses are composed of the Port of Allyn Park, some residential uses and a launch ramp to the south. No water I I front homes would have their views impacted. There was an email comment, Ex. 17, that views from the park would be affected. But the impact overall is limited to a 12 small part of the visible shoreline. Mr. Rehe noted that the waterfront house to the north has a water view in the opposite direction and trees that have been put in place 13 to provide privacy from the park obscure the home's view of the project site. The 14 project itself will have 8-foot decking that will be accessible to the public, thereby providing for greater public access to shoreline views. 15 EXHIBITS 16 17 The nineteen exhibits identified on the "Case Index" prepared by staff were admitted into the record during the August 9,2017 hearing. 18 FINDINGS OF FACT 19 Proced u ral: 20 1. Applicant. The applicant is the North Bay Historical Society and the Port 21 of Allyn. 22 2. Hearing. A hearing on the applications was held on August 9, 2017 at 1:00 pm in the Mason County Commissioners Meeting Room. 23 Substantive: 24 25 3. Site/Project Description. The applicant has applied for a shoreline -✓ substantial development permit and shoreline conditional use permit to relocate the restored Sargent's Oyster House to an over water location in Allyn, WA at 18560 E. SSDP/CUP p. 3 Findings,Conclusions and Decision State Route 3, for use as a living aquaculture museum and education center and to 1 grow shellfish seed. The Sargent's Oyster House was removed from its original over water location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and WDFW. This historic structure was placed on an upland site 4 at the Port of Allyn to be restored to its original configuration and repurposed as a "living" museum and education center. The North Bay Historical Society along with 5 other community partners are proposing to relocate the restored structure to another 6 over water location on Port property. 7 The restored Sargent's Oyster House will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay 8 homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County including the time prior to European settlement. It will also be used by local shellfish 9 aquaculturists to store equipment, load and unload equipment from barges and to 10 grow and raise shellfish seed. The proposal will include some new and experimental forms of aquaculture, including seed growing systems using floating upwelling 1 I systems(FLUPSYs)and recirculation tanks. 12 The restored structure will be placed in the upper section of an existing dilapidated concrete boat ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port. The approximately 3,300 13 square feet concrete boat ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the 14 approximately 1,200 square foot Sargent's Oyster House over water on piling (see concept rendering in Exhibit 9). 15 The project site consists of several parcels owned by the Port of Allyn located at the 16 north end of Case Inlet. Upland portions of the Port property are comprised of a Port 17 administrative building and public park, with gazebo, play structure, bathrooms, picnic areas and parking lot. Adjacent to the shoreline is a rock bulkhead and the 18 dilapidated concrete boat ramp (currently blocked from public use), a functioning boat ramp and float, large angular bulkhead and a public pier. The site of the proposal 19 is in the overwater location of the dilapidated boat ramp at the north end of the parking lot and property. 20 21 When complete and fully functional, the museum will give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility. The museum 22 will also be used as an education center for kindergarten through college aged students. Students will be given the chance to learn hands-on about oyster biology 23 and ecology by raising native oysters in aquaria or recirculation tanks.A program like "Salmon in the Classroom" is being developed. 24 25 SSDP/CUP p.4 Findings, Conclusions and Decision 1 2 4. Characteristics of the Area. The area is located along the western shoreline of Case Inlet within the Allyn Urban Growth Area (UGA). Case Inlet is 3 dominated by recreational and residential properties. The land use directly to the north and south of the project site are residential. 4 5. Adverse Impacts. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the proposal. Impacts are more specifically addressed as follows: 6 A. Navigation and Public Use. The proposal will not significantly interfere 7 with navigation and will enhance public use of the shoreline. The proposal will be close to a large public pier that extends significantly further waterward. The proposal 8 is basically in the shadow of the public pier and likely would have no impact on watercraft attempting to navigate close to the shoreline. There is also sufficient 9 distance between the proposal and pier to avoid any obstacles to watercraft that may I moor at the public pier. The proposal will enhance public use of the shoreline since its eight-foot decking will be publicly accessible and its interior uses are available to I I educate the public about historic aquaculture practices. 12 B. Aesthetics. As shown in an October 11, 2016 photograph appended to the biological evaluation, aesthetic impacts will be nominal. Adjoining to the south is a 13 very large public pier that will completely dwarf the scale of the proposal and hide it 14 from any south to north views from the south. Immediately to the north there is a line of trees that extends all the way to the shoreline that would block any view of the 15 proposal from uses landward of the shoreline. The photograph is consistent with testimony from the applicant, that the only potentially affected residential views are 16 already obstructed by trees. The elimination of the dilapidated boat ramp will overall 17 improve aesthetics by its replacement of the renovated Sargent House. Further, the Sargent House will have eight-foot public decking, giving park users enhanced access 18 to shoreline views. 19 C. Compatibility. There are no compatibility impacts since surrounding uses are separated by the public lands of the Port, trees along the north perimeter, and the 20 public pier. The proposed use is also of low intensity, with very minor noise and 21 aesthetic impacts. 22 D. Water Quality. Impacts to water quality are positive, since as noted in the staff report, the shellfish raised in aquaculture filters excess algae in water thereby 23 moderating algae production and mitigating oxygen depletion. No supplemental feeding with cultured algae or other additives will be used. The facility will comply 24 with the State of Washington water quality standards for turbidity (WAC 173-201A- 25 210). SSDP/CUP P. 5 Findings, Conclusions and Decision E. Noise. There will be no long-term increase in noise associated with the 1 proposal. The proposal would include some additional sources of noise associated 2 with boat trips to access the project site and water pumps to wash down the FLUPSYs.There will be no perceptible increase in noise in the surrounding area. 3 F. Fish and Habitat Impacts. The applicant has submitted a Biological 4 Evaluation as part of its application packet that considers the potential impacts from the proposed project to threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat, as 5 well as any potential effects from the proposal on essential fish habitat as defined 6 under the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act. The evaluation considered both short and long-term effects and concluded that the 7 proposal was not likely to adversely affect threatened or endangered species and their critical habitat (Exhibit 11). Overall, as testified by the applicant's marine biologist, 8 the proposal will not result in a net loss of ecological function and will in fact improve upon ecological function. This is primarily because the proposal involves 9 the removal of an existing boat ramp, which serves as a significant obstacle to natural 10 drift cell processes. Even though not necessary to maintain ecological function, the applicant is also adding 6:1 native plantings to the Port's Kayak boat launch as further 11 mitigation. 12 G. Light and Odor. The proposal will not result in excessive odor. The proposal does not include any additional lighting other than that used during 13 operating hours of the museum. 14 H. Well Head Protection Zone. Jeff Carey, Ex. 17, expressed concern that 15 the proposal may be located within a wellhead protection zone. A condition of approval recommended by staff and incorporated into this decision requires that the 16 applicant verify with the Mason County Department of Health that the proposal is 17 consistent with the requirements of any applicable well head protection zone. 18 6. Suitability of Site for Aquaculture. This area of Case Inlet is open to shellfish farming and harvest. 19 7. Economic Impact. The proposal strengthens the local economy by opening 20 a museum highlighting local industry in addition to growing seed. 21 8. Cumulative Impacts. As noted by the testimony of Ms. Knight, the proposal is 22 heavily supported by numerous public agencies because the Sargent Oyster House is the last over-water building of its kind in Puget Sound. No other requests for over- 23 water recreation centers have been made in Mason County at least since the 1990s, if ever. Consequently, it is reasonable to conclude that there is little likelihood of any 24 request for any similar facility in the foreseeable future. 25 SSDP/CUP p. 6 Findings, Conclusions and Decision CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1 2 Procedural: 3 1. Authority of Hearing Examiner. MCC 15.03.050(9) authorizes the Examiner to review and issue a final decision regarding shoreline substantial 4 development permit requests and shoreline conditional use permits. 5 Substantive: 6 2. General Review Criteria for Shoreline Substantial Development Permit. 7 The applicant is required to obtain a shoreline substantial development permit for any substantial development within the shoreline jurisdiction. MCC 15.09.055(a). 8 Applications for substantial development permits are subject to review by the Hearing Examiner. MCC 15.09.055(f). The MCC requires a decision on a substantial 9 development permit application to be based upon the Shoreline Master Program for 10 Mason County("MCSMP"), and the policies and procedures of Chapter 90.58 RCW, the Shoreline Management Act ("SMA"). MCC 15.09.055(f)(2)(C). A "substantial I 1 development" is any development of which the total cost for market value exceeds $6,416.00. WAC 173-27-040 (2)(a). As noted in the staff report and as self-evident 12 from the proposal, the fair market value of the proposed facilities exceeds this amount. This proposal is reviewed under the SMP Section for Aquaculture. In 1' addition, MCC 17.50.034 requires a conditional use permit for the proposal because it 14 is an unclassified use within the MCSMP. Applicable review criteria are quoted below and applied through corresponding conclusions of law. 15 Mason County Comprehensive Plan, Chapter IX (MCCP IX) Aquaculture 16 Policy No. 1: Potential locations for aquaculture practices are relatively restricted 17 due to specific biophysical requirements such as water quality, temperature, substrait, dissolved oxygen, and salinity. Priority should be given to uses in areas 18 having a high potential for such uses. 19 3. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 6, the project site is suited for aquaculture production. 20 21 MCCP IX,Aquaculture Policy No.2: The County should strengthen and diversify the local economy by encouraging aquaculture uses. 22 4. The proposal will benefit the local economy as determined in Finding of 23 Fact No. 7. 24 MCCP IX,Aquaculture Policy No.3: Shoreline and upland land development in 2_ productive aquaculture areas or those areas with a high potential for aquaculture -� uses should be reviewed for detrimental impacts on aquaculture. SSDP/CUP p. 7 Findings,Conclusions and Decision 5. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not.create any 1 significant adverse impacts,which includes adverse impacts to aquaculture. ` MCCP IX,Aquaculture Policy No.4: Recognition should be given to the possible detrimental impacts that aquacultural activities might have on the aesthetic quality of the shoreline area. 4 6. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not create any 5 significant adverse aesthetic impacts. 6 MCCP IX,Aquaculture Policy No.5: Structures or activities associated with 7 aquaculture should be located inland from shoreline areas unless clearly shoreline- dependent. 8 7. As concluded in Conclusion of Law No. 37, the proposal qualifies as 9 water-dependent and encroaches waterward to the minimum extent reasonably 10 necessary. I 1 MCCP Aquaculture Policy No.6: Aquacultural activities should be operated in a manner that allows navigational access to shoreline owners and commercial traffic. 12 8. The proposal has minimal impacts upon navigation as determined in 13 Finding of Fact No. 5. 14 MCCP Chapter IX,Aquaculture Policy No. 7: Flexibility to experiment with new 15 aquaculture techniques should be allowed. 16 9. The proposal involves FLUPSYs,which as identified in Finding of Fact No.3 is a 17 relatively new and experimental form of aquaculture. 18 MCCP Chapter IX, Aquaculture Policy No. 8: Proposed surface installations should be reviewed for conflicts with other uses in areas that are utilized for 19 moorage, recreational boating, sport fishing, commercial fishing, or commercial navigation. Such surface installations shall incorporate features to reduce use 20 conflicts. 21 10. For the reasons outlined in Finding of Fact No. 5, there are no 22 compatibility issues with the proposal, including conflict with moorage and boating. 23 MCCP Chapter IX, Aquaculture Policy No. 9: Maximum effort to protect water quality should be made in areas with high potential for aquaculture and current 24 aquaculture areas which have been identified as sensitive areas. 25 11. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not adversely affect water quality. SSDP/CUP p. 8 Findings, Conclusions and Decision I MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 1: Shoreline developments 2 adjacent to areas especially suitable for aquaculture shall practice strict pollution control procedures. 3 12. The proposal will not adversely affect water quality as determined in 4 Finding of Fact No. 5 and is conditioned to comply with numerous mitigation measures in the project's biological evaluation, which assures strict pollution control 5 procedures. 6 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 2: Aquacultural practices shall 7 be located and conducted so as to provide reasonable navigational access to waterfront property owners and along the shoreline. 8 13. The proposal will not adversely affect navigation as determined in Finding 9 of Fact No. 5. 10 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 3: Site preparation in the 11 vicinity of aquaculture operations shall not result in off-site erosion, siltation or other reductions in water quality. 12 14. The mitigation measures of the biological evaluation, imposed by this 13 decision include erosion control and water quality protection measures that will 14 prevent off—site erosion,siltation and adverse impacts to water quality. 15 MCC 17.50.060,Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 4: Aquacultural practices shall be located and conducted so as to provide reasonable navigational access to 16 waterfront property owners and along the shoreline. 17 15. The proposal will not interfere with navigation as determined in Finding 18 of Fact No. 5. 19 MCC 17.50.060,Aquaculture Use Regulation No.5:Aquacultural development shall not cause extensive erosion or accretion along adjacent shorelines. 20 21 16. The mitigation measures of the biological evaluation, imposed by this decision, include erosion control measures that will prevent erosion and accretion 22 along adjacent shorelines. 23 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 6: Aquaculture structures and 24 activities that are not shoreline dependent shall be located to minimize the 25 detrimental impact to the shoreline. SSDP/CUP P. 9 Findings, Conclusions and Decision 17. As concluded in Conclusion of Law No. 37, the proposal is shoreline 1 dependent. 2 MCC 17.50.060,Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 7: The proposed aquaculture 3 processing plants shall provide adequate buffers to screen operations from adjacent residential uses. 4 18. As determined in the compatibility analysis of Finding of Fact No. 5, 5 adjoining residential uses are adequately buffered. 6 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 8: Aquacultural structures and 7 fisheries enhancement activities shall, to the greatest extent feasible regarding the economic viability of the operation and protection of the environment, be located, 8 designed and operated so that native plant and animal populations and their respective habitats and the local ecological balance are maintained. Disease and 9 pest control may be authorized. 10 19. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not adversely 11 affect water quality and no other impacts to native plant and animal populations can be reasonably inferred from the record. 12 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 10: Aquacultural structures 13 shall be placed in such a manner, and be suitably marked, so as to minimize 14 interference with navigation. 15 20. The proposal will not interfere with navigation as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5. 16 17 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 11: Aquacultural development shall be designed and constructed to harmonize as far as possible with the local 18 shoreline environment and shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. 19 21. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not adversely affect any shoreline environmental resources, so it is considered to be designed and 20 built to harmonize with the shoreline environment. The staff report concludes that the 21 project will be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. Given the subjectivity of "neat and orderly,"it is determined that the requirement is met. 22 MCC 17.50.060, Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 12: The proposed aquacultural 23 development shall make adequate provisions to control nuisance factors such as excessive noise and odor and excessive lighting. 24 25 22. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not create any significant adverse noise, light or odor impacts. SSDP/CUP P. 10 Findings, Conclusions and Decision MCC 17.50.060,Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 13: Aquacultural discards shall 1 be disposed of in a manner that will not degrade associated uplands, wetlands, 2 shorelines or water environments. Discards shall not be disposed of in a manner which results in offensive odors or increases the vector population. 3 23. No feed is used in the aquaculture operation; therefore, little waste is 4 anticipated to be generated. The growing of seed does not result in the discarding of 5 shells or other by-products. 6 MCC 17.50.060,Aquaculture Use Regulation No. 14: Equipment, structures and materials shall not be abandoned in shoreline or wetland area. 7 24. As conditioned. 8 9 RCW 90.58.020(1): Recognize and protect the state-wide interest over local interest. 10 25. The policy is met since approval enhances shoreline access, education and shoreline enjoyment while also improving ecological function. 11 RCW 90.58.020(2): Preserve the natural character of the shoreline. 12 26. The policy is met since the proposal involves minimal change in character 13 to the shoreline. The removal of the existing boat ramp will enable the restoration of 14 natural drift cell processes. 15 RCW 90.58.020(3): Result in long-term over short-term benefit. 16 27. The policy is met since the proposal advances aquacultural production, 17 shoreline access and ecological function with no associated significant adverse environmental impacts. 18 RCW 90.58.020(4): Protect the resources and ecology of the shoreline. 19 28. The policy met because as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 the 20 proposal will not adversely affect shoreline environmental resources. 21 22 Shoreline Conditional Use Permit 23 MCC 17.50.080(1): That the proposed use will be consistent with the policies of 24 RCW 90.58 and the policies of the master program; 25 29. This decision addresses all applicable policies of RCW 90.58 and the County's master program. As determined in this decision, the proposal is consistent with all applicable policies. SSDP/CUP P. 11 Findings,Conclusions and Decision 1 MCC 17.50.080(2): That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public 2 use of the shorelines; 30. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5,the proposal will not significantly interfere with navigation or any public use of the shoreline. 4 MCC 17.50.080(3): That the proposed use of the site and design of the project will be compatible with other permitted uses within the area; 6 31. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal is compatible with 7 surrounding uses. 8 MCC 17.50.080(4): That the proposed use will cause no unreasonable adverse 9 effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located; 32. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will not create any adverse impacts to the environment. II MCC 17.50.080(5): That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect. 12 33. The criterion is met since the proposal will not create any significant 1' adverse impacts as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5. 14 MCC 17.50.080(6): Potential for cumulative impact of additional requests for like 15 actions in the area. 16 34. The proposal will not create any significant cumulative adverse impacts as 17 determined in Finding of Fact No. 8. 18 Additional Review Criteria 19 MMC 15.09.050 Type III review 20 (1) The development does not conflict with the comprehensive plan and meets the 21 requirements and intent of the Mason County Code, especially Titles 6, 8, and 16. 22 35. The criterion is met. The shoreline policies addressed in this decision are part of the County's comprehensive plan. As determined in this decision, the proposal 23 is consistent with all those shoreline policies. There are no conflicts with any other comprehensive plan policies apparent from the record. The proposal has been 24 properly processed under SEPA. Subdivision regulations do not apply as no division 25 of land is proposed. Building code regulations and sanitary waste standards will be applied during building permit review. SSDP/CUP p. 12 Findings, Conclusions and Decision 36. Special Use Permit. A neighbor submitted materials, Ex. 19, suggesting 1 that a special use permit is required for the proposal because the proposal will be in the Public Facilities Overlay("PF") District and MMC 17.10.670 provides that "[a]1l development projects in the PF district shall require approval of a special use permit." However, the proposal is also located in the Public Open Space ("POS") District, where the proposal is permitted outright by MCC 17.10.720 as a community 4 recreation center. Reconciling these two conflicting provisions through principles of 5 statutory construction, it is concluded that no special use permit is required. 6 Before addressing the conflict between the PF and POS provisions, it is necessary to assess whether the proposal in fact qualifies as a "community recreation center" as 7 asserted in the staff report, since that designation is not apparent on its face. The term "community recreation center" is not directly defined by the MCC. MCC 17.06.010 8 provides that the terms used in Mason County development regulations are subject to the definitions of the Moskowitz, Harvey S. and Lindbloom, Carl G.; The New 9 Illustrated Book of Development Definitions. New Brunswick, NJ, Center for Urban 10 Policy Research, 1993. The treatise defines a community recreation center to include facilities used for recreational, social, educational and cultural activities. The 11 proposal will clearly be used for educational and cultural activities. Consequently, it qualifies as a community recreation center an is permitted outright in the POS zone 12 by MCC 17.10.720. 13 In reconciling the conflict between the special use permit requirements of the POS 14 and PF zones, the primary objective should be to ascertain and give effect to legislative intent. See Wash. State Dept. of Transportation v. City of Seattle, 182 15 Wash. App. 824, 837 (2016). In so doing, courts avoid a literal reading of a statute when doing so would result in unlikely, absurd, or strained consequences. See 16 Columbia Riverkeeper v. Port of Vancouver, 188 Wn.2d 421, 443 (2017). In this 17 case, construing the PF overlay district as requiring special use permits for all uses authorized in the underlying POS zoning district would lead to absurd and strained 18 consequences that is likely contrary to legislative intent. The authorized uses in the POS zone are relatively benign. The uses authorized by the PF district are capital 19 facilities such as sewage treatment plants that are comparably obnoxious. It makes little sense to require a special use permit for POS uses just because the PF overlay 20 district in addition authorizes comparably obnoxious public facilities. The public 21 facilities authorized by the PF overlay district do not need any protection from the benign authorized uses of the POS district — the need for a special use permit is 22 clearly the opposite, i.e. protecting the benign authorized uses of the POS district from the much more obnoxious uses of the PF district. Understood in this light, the 23 requirement for a special use permit imposed by MCC 17.10.670 only applies to the uses authorized by the PF district. 24 25 37.Resource Ordinance Buffer. The proposal is consistent with the County's resource ordinance buffer for Hood Canal because the proposal qualifies as water- dependent. SSDP/CUP p. 13 Findings,Conclusions and Decision MCC 8.52.170 impose a 100-foot fish and wildlife conservation buffer for saltwater I shorelines such as Hood Canal. However, MCC 8.52.170(d)(2)(B) allows water 2 dependent uses to encroach into this 100-foot buffer so long as "minimum necessary adjustments" are made to the buffer to provide for the use. "Water-dependent" is 3 defined by MCC 8.52.030 to mean "requiring the use of surface water that would be essential to fulfill the purpose of the proposed project." The purpose of the proposal 4 is to educate the public about historic aquaculture practices in Mason County. To be historically accurate, the building needs to be constructed overwater. The proposal 5 will be involved in live aquaculture practices to demonstrate how aquaculture was 6 historically done. Part of the operation involves hoisting oyster shells from barges and other watercraft that moor at the edge of the oyster house. Another part of the 7 historical aquaculture practice involved using the seawater directly below the building. Both functions are reliant upon an overwater facility. For the proposal to 8 accurately portray historical aquacultural practices, the facility must be over-water and therefore qualifies as water-dependent. Site plans show that the proposed oyster 9 house will be built directly over an existing rock bulkhead, which is presumably the 10 ordinary high water mark of the project site. As such, the encroachment of the proposed oyster house has been minimized as much as practicable (i.e. it doesn't I 1 extend any further waterward than it needs to), so the buffer reduction as proposed is authorized by MCC 8.52.170(d)(2)(B). 12 County staff also used the buffer reduction process authorized by MCC 13 8.52.170(d)(3) to justify the encroachment into the 100-foot buffer. Given that the 14 proposal meets the buffer reduction requirements of MCC 8.52.170(d)(2)(B), it is debatable whether it was necessary to also apply MCC 8.52.170(d)(3). Nonetheless, 15 the proposed encroachment also meets the requirements of MCC 8.52.170(d)(3). MCC 8.52.170(d)(3) authorizes a decrease in fish and wildlife conservation buffers 16 upon consultation with WDFW and the Squaxin Island Tribe and approval of a 17 habitat management plan that includes mitigation that provides for better protection than the required buffer. In this case staff approved the biological evaluation, which 18 staff found to exceed the requirements of a habitat management plan. The biological evaluation was sent to WDFW and the Squaxin Tribe for comment and no comment 19 was received (although the applicant had over a dozen meetings with WDFW and was able to work out mitigation to that agency's satisfaction). The applicant's marine 20 biologist was able to conclude that with the proposed mitigation, most notably the 21 removal of the existing boat ramp, the proposal would not result in any net loss of ecological function and would overall significantly increase ecological function by its 22 removal of the boat ramp obstacle to natural drift cell processes and 6:1 replantings. 23 (2) The development does not impact the public health, safety and welfare and is in the public interest. 24 25 38. The criterion is met. Since there are no adverse impacts associated with the proposal as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5,there will be no impact to public health safety and welfare. Since there are no impacts and the proposal advances SSDP/CUP p. 14 Findings, Conclusions and Decision public education, shoreline access and economic development, the proposal is in the I public interest. 2 (3) The development does not lower the level of service of transportation and/or 3 neighborhood park facilities below the minimum standards established within the comprehensive plan. If the development results in a level of service lower than those 4 set forth in the comprehensive plan, the development may be approved if improvements or strategies to raise the level of service above the minimum standard are made concurrent with the development. To this section, "concurrent with the 6 development" is defined as the required improvements or strategies in place at the time of occupancy, or a financial commitment is in place to complete the 7 improvements or strategies within six years of approval of the development. f. 8 39. The staff report notes that the proposal will not lower applicable level of service standards below adopted levels and there is nothing in the record to suggest to the contrary. 10 DECISION 11 The shoreline substantial development application and shoreline conditional use 12 permit comply with all applicable shoreline policies and use regulations as determined in the conclusions of law of this decision. The proposal is approved 13 subject to the following conditions: 14 1) Water quality is not to be degraded to the detriment of the aquatic 15 environment because of this project. Special precautionary measures to be taken to minimize risk of oil or other toxic materials from entering the water or 16 shoreline area. 17 2) Implement the 10 conservation measures as recommended in the Biological Evaluation on pp 26-27. 18 3) Provide verification from the State Department of Health that the location of the building is compatible with the existing on-site Group A water system well 19 head. 4) Equipment, structures and materials shall not be abandoned in shoreline or 20 wetland area. 21 Dated this 21 st day of August 2017. 22 23 Phi A.Olb=hts 24 Mason County Hearing Examiner 25 Appeal Right and Valuation Notices SSDP/CUP p. 15 Findings,Conclusions and Decision I This shoreline substantial development permit decision is final and subject to appeal to 2 the Washington State Shoreline Hearings Board as governed by Chapter 90.58 RCW.

Permit#SHR2017-00002. STAFF REPORT I. APPLICANT. The applicants are North Bay Historical Society and the Port of Allyn.The authorized representative is Bill Rehe. IL PROPERTY LOCATION. Port of Allyn property at 18560 E. State Route 3; Allyn, WA. III. LEGAL DESCRIPTION. NW corner of T 22 N, R 1 W,S 20 W.M. and encompasses the shoreline adjacent to Mason County Tax Parcel 12220-50-08001. IV. EVALUATION. PROPOSAL: The North Bay Historical Society, in cooperation with the Port of Allyn, is proposing to relocate a restored, historical building along the waterfront at the Port of Allyn to create a museum and education center. The Sargent's Oyster House was removed from its original over water location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.This historic structure was placed on an upland site at the Port of Allyn to be restored to its original configuration and repurposed as a "living" museum and education center.The North Bay Historical Society along with other community partners is proposing to relocate the restored structure to another over water location on the Port property. The restored Sargent's Oyster House will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County including the time prior to European settlement. It will also be used by local shellfish aquaculturists to store equipment, load and unload equipment from barges and to grow and raise shellfish seed. The restored structure will be located in the upper section of the dilapidated concrete boat ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port.The approximately 3,300 square feet of concrete ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the approximately 1,200 Page 1 SHR2017-00002 square foot Sargent's Oyster House over water on piling(see concept rendering in Exhibit 9). When complete and fully functional, the museum will give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility.The museum will also be used as an education center for kindergarten through college aged students. Students will be given the chance to learn hands-on about oyster biology and ecology by raising native oysters in aquaria or recirculation tanks. A program similar to "Salmon in the Classroom" is being developed. A. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE AND AREA.The site consists of several parcels owned by the Port of Allyn located at the north end of Case Inlet. Upland portions of the Port property are comprised of Port Administrative Building and public park, with gazebo, play structure, bathrooms, picnic areas and parking lot. Adjacent to the shoreline is a rock bulkhead and an existing dilapidated concrete boat ramp (currently blocked from public use), a functioning boat ramp and float, large angular bulkhead and a public pier. The site of the proposal is in the overwater location of the dilapidated boat ramp at the north end of the parking lot and property. The area is located along the western shoreline of Case Inlet within the Allyn Urban Growth Area (UGA). Case Inlet is dominated by recreational and residential properties. The land use directly to the north and south of the project site are residential. B. ZONING:The adjacent upland parcel is zoned Public Open Space.This district allows community recreation centers, which by definition includes facilities used for recreational, social, educational and cultural activities(as defined in Moskowitz, Harvey S. and Lindbloom, Carl G.;The New Illustrated Book of Development Definitions. New Brunswick, NJ, Center for Urban Policy Research, 1993).The proposed use meets this definition and therefore does not require a Special Use Permit per the Public Facilities Overlay District.The area over the water is not zoned. C. SHORELINE DESIGNATION.The site is on an Urban Shoreline Environmental Designation. ` D. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION.The Comprehensive Plan designation is Allyn UGA and "waterbody". E. SEPA COMPLIANCE AND OTHER PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.A Determination of Non Significance (DNS)was issued by the Port of Allyn on March 14, 2016. Public Notice procedures were followed in accordance with Sections 15.07.010 and 15.07.030 of Mason County Title 15. Notice of Public Hearing (Exhibit 12)for the Application was posted in the Mason-Shelton Journal on 07/06/2017 and 07/13/2017, at Building 1 of the Mason County Campus on 07/02/2017 and on-site on 07/02/2017. In addition, the Notice of Application was mailed to all property owners within 300' of the proposal on 06/28/2017.The Biological Evaluation (BE) (Exhibit 11)was sent to the Washington State Department of Fish &Wildlife and the Squaxin Island Tribe on 06/30/2017.A Public Comment letter was received as of the date of this report(Exhibit 17). Page 2 SHR2017-00002 F. OTHER PERMITS. The proposal received its Hydraulic Project Approval from the Washington State Dept of Fish &Wildlife on May 2, 2017. USACOE Section 10 approval is required. A Building Permit is required once all other permits are issued. Additional permitting from the Department of Ecology (discharge permit) and another HPA will be required for the shellfish seed growing portion of the proposal. .� V. ANALYSIS. Development Regulations(Zoning) The zoning designation is"Public Open Space" with a "Public Facility Overlay District"—Allyn Urban Growth Area. Community recreation center is a permitted use in the POS zone per the Mason County Code (MCC) 17.10.720 and therefore,the "Public Facility Overlay District" does not apply and no Special Use Permit is required. Resource Ordinance The saltwater shoreline is regulated under the County's Resource Ordinance in addition to the Shoreline Master Program. MCC 8.52.170 establishes a standard 100 foot buffer and prohibits development within the buffer with exceptions. MCC 8.52.170(d)(2)(B):Special Provision for Water-Dependent Uses on Existing Lots. Applications for development defined as water-dependent uses shall provide the standard one hundred foot buffer along as much of the shoreline as possible while making the minimum necessary adjustments to the buffer to provide for the water-dependent use, as determined by the director. Such development shall meet the requirements of other applicable regulations, including other resource ordinance sections and the Mason County Shoreline Master Program. This proposal is water dependent. The 66 year old structure was used for more than 40 years as a commercial oyster processing facility at an overwater location in North Bay near Coulter Creek outlet(just north of its new proposed location).The proposal to relocate the structure over water is critical for three reasons: 1. To create a "living" museum that will allow the public to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility; 2. To allow local commercial and tribal aquaculture activity including the growing of shellfish seed using floating upwelling systems(FLUPSYs) and recirculation tanks; and 3. Consideration to be placed on the National and State Historic Registers.The building is included on the Mason County Historic Register as of August 2015 (Exhibit 19). MCC 8.52.170(d)(3): Provision for Decreasing Buffer. For major new development, Mason County may decrease the buffer after consultation with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and the (Squaxin Island) Tribe, after review and approval of a habitat management plan, and after a public hearing. Mitigation must be adequate to preserve or enhance the functions and values of the critical area. This means that a finding must be made that the net effect of the proposal equal or better than applying the standard buffers. If enhancement is part of the mitigation plan, then a greater level of enhancement is required to offset the time lost while the enhancement matures. County staff sent the Biological Evaluation (BE), in lieu of Habitat Management Plan (Exhibit 11) to the WDF&W and the Squaxin Island Tribe on June 30, 2017 (Exhibit 14). No comments Page 3 SHR2017-00002 received as of the date of this report.After review of the BE, staff concludes that the proposal to locate the structure over the water, on piling, after removal of a dilapidated concrete boat ramp will have a positive net effect on the environment including near shore habitat and better than that if located at an upland site at or greater than 100 feet from the shoreline. _Shoreline Master Program This proposal is reviewed under the Aquaculture and Conditional Use Sections of the Mason County Shoreline Master Program Policies and Use Regulations which are included within the Mason County Comprehensive Plan IX-2, Shoreline Management Program Policies and IX-3 Conditional Uses as well as Chapter 17.50 Mason County Shoreline Master Program Use Regulations, 17.50.060 Aquaculture and 17.50.080 Conditional Uses, as adopted. A Substantial Development Permit is required because the value of the proposal exceeds $6,416.00 (WAC 173-27-040 (2)(a) and a Conditional Use Permit is required because the use is an unspecified use per MCC 17.50.034. AQUACULTURE POLICIES: 1) Potential locations for aquaculture practices are relatively restricted due to specific biological requirements such as water quality,temperature, substrate, dissolved oxygen and salinity. Priority should be given to aquaculture uses in areas having a high potential for such uses. This area of Case Inlet is open to shellfish farming and harvest. 2) The County should strengthen and diversify the local economy by encouraging aquacultural uses. This policy explicitly encourages and supports the relocation of the historically significant Sargent's Oyster House to be reused as a museum, education center and shellfish seed growing facility. The proposal strengthens the local economy by opening a museum highlighting local industry in addition to growing seed. 3) Shoreline and upland development in productive aquaculture areas or those areas with a high potential for aquaculture uses should be reviewed for detrimental impacts on aquaculture. Not applicable. 4) Recognition should be given to the possible detrimental impacts that aquacultural activities might have on the aesthetic quality of the shoreline area. This policy is referring to "at grade"or "on the beach"activity that is typical of aquaculture and doesn't necessarily apply, however, the restored structure will be placed over the water on piling and will obstruct a certain amount of existing public view. There will still be a fair amount of open waterfront within the public park to afford views and the restored historic building will likely become a treasured waterfront view in and of itself both from the upland side and the waterside of the building. Page 4 SHR2017-00002 5) Structures or activities associated with aquaculture should be located inland from shoreline areas unless clearly water dependent. See Section V.ANALYSIS. Resource Ordinance regarding water dependence. 6) Aquacultural practices should be operated in a manner that allows navigational access to shoreline owners and commercial traffic. The proposal will not interfere with navigational access for shoreline owners or recreational/ commercial traffic. As mentioned above, the location of the building will occur over 1,200 square feet of waterfront and remove 3,300 square feet of concrete from the beach. 7) Flexibility to experiment with new aquaculture techniques should be allowed. This policy supports approval of the proposal, which is for a relatively new aquaculture technique in Washington State, to promote the growth and development of shellfish seed using FLUPSYs. Mason County's support for new aquaculture techniques is further aligned with the Department of Ecology's Guidelines for local government updates to their shoreline master programs. The Guidelines state that"technology associated with some forms of present-day aquaculture is still in its formative stages and experimental. SMP's should therefore recognize the necessity for some latitude in the development of this use as well as its potential impact on existing uses and naturalsystems. WAC173-26-241(3)(b)(i)(8). 8) Proposed surface installations should be reviewed for conflicts with other uses in areas that are utilized for moorage, recreational boating, sport fishing, commercial fishing or commercial navigation. Such surface installations should incorporate features to reduce use conflicts. See answer to Policy#6 above. The removal of the unused, dilapidated boat ramp will significantly reduce conflicts in navigation. 9) Maximum effort to protect water quality should be made in areas with high potential for aquaculture and current aquaculture areas which have been identified as sensitive areas. As the proposal is for new aquacultural use and will not adversely impact water quality, it is compliant with this policy. In fact, shellfish aquaculture is beneficial to water quality. Aquaculture provides a valuable benefit to Puget Sound through the ability of shellfish to filter excess algae in the water thereby moderating the algae production and mitigating oxygen depletion. AQUACULTURE USE REGULATIONS: 1) Shoreline developments adjacent to areas especially suitable for aquaculture shall practice strict pollution control procedures. The proposal will practice strict pollution control procedures. Shellfish are filter feeding organisms that consume naturally occurring microalgae, bacteria and organic debris directly from the water that will be circulated through the Sargent's Oyster House. No supplemental Page 5 SH R2017-00002 feeding with cultured algae or other additives will be used. The facility will comply with the State of Washington water quality standards for turbidity(WAC 173-201A-210). 2) Aquacultural practices shall be located and conducted so as to provide reasonable navigational access to waterfront property owners and along the shoreline. Placing the building on piling and removing the "at-grade"concrete boat ramp, will allow for greater navigational access to waterfront property owners in the area. 3) Aquaculture development shall not cause extensive erosion or accretion along adjacent shorelines. The proposal will not cause extensive erosion or accretion along adjacent shorelines. The proposal does not involve any upland development. Therefore, no erosion will occur as a result of clearing, construction or use. The removal of the concrete boat ramp will allow for more natural shoreline processes. 4) Aquaculture structures that are not shoreline dependent shall be located to minimize the detrimental impact on the shoreline. As discussed above, the relocation of the historic Sargent's Oyster House for use as a museum, education center and seed growing facility is shoreline dependent. The proposed FLUPSY(or similar seed growing apparatus)circulates saltwater from the on-site location to facilitate growth of shellfish seed. 5) Aquaculture structures and fisheries enhancement activities shall, to the greatest extent feasible with regard to the economic viability of the operation and protection of the environment, be located, designed and operated so that native plant and animal populations, their respective habitats and the local ecological balance are maintained. Disease and pest control may be authorized. The Biological Evaluation considers potential impacts from the proposed project to threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat from the installation and operation of the project, as well as any potential effects from the proposal on essential fish habitat as defined under the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act. This evaluation considered both short and long term effects of the facility and concluded that the proposal was not likely to adversely affect threatened or endangered species and their critical habitat. No eelgross, kelp or other vascular plants were identified within the project area. No upland vegetation or animal populations will be disturbed. The proposal includes the planting of native vegetation in an upland area adjacent to the shoreline (Exhibit 10). 6) Floating aquaculture structures shall not duly detract from the aesthetic qualities of the surrounding area. Not Applicable. 7) Aquacultural structures shall be placed in such a manner and be suitably marked so as to minimize interference with navigation. Page 6 -- SHR2017-00002 Interference with navigation is reduced with the placement of the building on piling in addition to the removal of 3,300 square feet of concrete boot ramp. 8) Aquaculture development shall be designed and constructed to harmonize as much as possible with the local shoreline environment and shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. The proposal would allow for natural hydrologic processes within the surrounding intertidal and subtidal environments. The proposed structures will be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. By removing the boat ramp and placing the oyster house on piling, the proposed project will provide a small net gain in forage species biological productivity. 9) Proposed aquacultural developments shall make adequate provisions to control nuisance factors such as excessive noise and odor and excessive lighting. The proposal will not cause excessive noise, odor or lighting. There will be no long-term increase in noise associated with the proposal. The proposal would include some additional sources of noise associated with boat trips to access the project site and water pumps to wash down the FLUPSYs. There will be no perceptible increase in noise in the surrounding area. The proposal will not result in excessive odor. The proposal does not include any additional lighting other than that used during operating hours of the museum. 10) Aquacultural discards shall be disposed of in a manner that will not degrade associated uplands, wetlands, shorelines, or water environments. Discards shall not be disposed of in a manner which results in offensive odors or increases the vector population. No feed is used in the aquaculture operation; therefore little waste is anticipated to be generated. The growing of seed does not result in the discarding of shells or other by-product. 11) Equipment, structures and materials shall not be abandoned in the shoreline or wetland area. Equipment, structures and materials will not be abandoned in the shoreline area. 12) Special precautionary measures shall be taken to minimize the risk of oil or other toxic materials from entering the water or shoreline area. Precautionary measures are subject to approval by the county environmental health specialist. No use of oil or other toxic materials is proposed. 17.50.080 Conditional Uses: A Conditional Use Permit is required per MCC 17.50.034 because the proposal is an unspecified use.The purpose of a Conditional Use Permit is to allow greater flexibility in varying the new application of the use regulations of the Master Program. Conditional Uses should also be granted in circumstances where denial of the permit would result in a thwarting of the policy enumerated in RCW 90.58. In authorizing a Conditional Use, special conditions may be attached Page 7 SHR2017-00002 to the permit by local government or the Department to prevent undesirable effects of the proposed use. Uses which are classified or set forth in the Master Program as conditional uses may be authorized provided the applicant can demonstrate all of the following (See Exhibit 7): 1. Show that the proposed use will be consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58 and the Policies of the Master Program. The proposal is consistent with the general policies of the Shoreline Management Act, RCW 90.58, the Mason County Shoreline Master Program Title 17.50 and the Comprehensive Plan Title IX(SMP). The project has been designed and constructed in a manner to minimize damage to the ecology and environment of the shoreline area. 2. Show that the proposed use will not interfere with normal public use of the shoreline. The project site was selected in part because its location minimizes the chance that use conflicts will occur, including conflicts related to public use. The project site is a public park on property owned by the Port of Allyn. The proposed project and use of project will not interfere with the normal public use of public shorelines. The project is meant to increase the public's use of public land. The proposed project will not interfere with the public's use of the adjacent water or beach access. 3. Show that the proposed use of the site and design of the project will be compatible with other permitted uses in the area. The proposed use of the site and design of the project are compatible with other authorized uses within the area and with uses planned for the area under the comprehensive plan and shoreline master program. The Port of Allyn's shoreline properties have similar access structures and uses along the marine shoreline. 4. Show that the proposed use will cause no unreasonable adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located. North Bay Historical Society has submitted a Biological Evaluation as part of its application packet that considers the potential impacts from the proposed project to threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat, as well as any potential effects from the proposal on essential fish habitat as defined under the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act. The evaluation considered both short and long term effects and concluded that the proposal was not likely to adversely affect threatened or endangered species and their critical habitat(Exhibit 11). 5. Show that the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect. The proposed project has been designed so that public interest will not suffer any substantial detrimental effect. The project and its use will not result in damage to the shoreline environment or the public's view or use of the water. 6. Cumulative Impacts. Page 8 — SHR2017-00002 In granting a Conditional Use Permit, Mason County is required to consider"the cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions in the area." Mason County Code (MCC) 17.50.080. The consideration is for additional requests for water dependent overwater structures. It is more than unlikely that a similar request to relocate an historic structure to another overwater location to be utilized as an aquacultural museum and education center paying homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County will occur along with the opportunity to remove 3,300 square feet of concrete located forward of the OHWM, therefore the cumulative impact does not exist. VI. CONCLUSION. The Hearing Examiner shall review proposed development according to the following criteria: (1) The development does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the requirements and intent of the Mason County Code, especially Title 6, 8 and 16. (2) Development does not impact the public health, safety and welfare and is in the public interest. (3) Development does not lower the level of service of transportation and/or neighborhood park facilities below the minimum standards established within the Comprehensive Plan. Staff has verified that the proposed development does in fact comply with the Mason County Code, including Title 6(Sanitary Code, enforcement only), 8(Environmental Policy)and 16 (Subdivisions.). The project is not subject to Title 6 or 16. The project meets the requirements of the MC Environmental Policy and the SEPA review was completed on March 14, 2016. The project will not lower the level of service of transportation and/or neighborhood park facilities below the minimum standards established within the Comprehensive Plan. The project will have no adverse impact upon health,safety and welfare. Because the proposal is consistent with all applicable policies and use regulations,staff recommends approval of the permit with the following conditions: CONDITIONS: 1) Water quality is not to be degraded to the detriment of the aquatic environment as a result of this project. Special precautionary measures to be taken to minimize risk of oil or other toxic materials from entering the water or shoreline area. 2) Implement the 10 conservation measures as recommended in the BE on pp 26-27. 3) Provide verification from the State Department of Health that the location of the building is compatible with the existing on-site Group A water system well head. VII. CHOICE OF ACTION: 1. Approval of Shoreline Substantial Development/Conditional Use Permit#SHR2017-00002. 2. Approve with conditions. 3. Deny permit (reapplication or resubmittal is permitted). 4. Remand for further proceedings and/or evidentiary hearing in accordance with section 15.09.090 of Title 15.

Please let me know if changes are required or if you need additional information or clarification. These notes reflect the necessary permit applications and documents needed for the County's Planning Department to review the proposal to relocate the historic Sargents Oyster House from its original overwater location to a new overwater location on Port of Allyn Property. Once all applications and documents have been reviewed, the Planner will make a recommendation to approve or deny the proposal to the County's Hearing Examiner (this proposal requires both County Hearing Examiner and State Department of Ecology approval). PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The North Bay Historical Society has obtained the historic Sargent's Oyster House from its previous overwater location and is proposing to restore the structure for use as an aquaculture museum, education center and possible storage for aquaculture seed and relocate the structure to a new overwater location in Allyn on property owned by the Port of Allyn. The proponents believe the uniqueness of the historic structure and proposed uses make the proposal a water-dependent use. DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS/ZONING Current zoning is Public Open Space "POS" in the Allyn Urban Growth Area. This district allows community recreation centers, which by definition includes facilities used for recreational, social, educational and cultural activities. The proposed uses meet this definition. No special permits required. • Parking requirements: Please see Off Street Parking in the Allyn UGA Chapter 17.14 RESOURCE ORDINANCE The saltwater shoreline is regulated under the County's resource ordinance and requires a standard 100' buffer from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) landward. Development within the buffer is prohibited with exceptions. Mason County Code (MCC) 8.52.170 (d) (2) (8): Special Provision for Water-Dependent Uses on Existing Lots. Applications for development defined as water-dependent uses shall provide the standard one hundred-foot buffer along as much of the shoreline as possible while making the minimum necessary adjustments to the buffer to provide for the water- dependent use, as determined by the director. Such development shall meet the requirements of other applicable regulations, including other resource ordinance sections and the Mason County Shoreline Master Program. Mason County Code 8.52.170 (d) (3): Provision for Decreasing Buffer. For major new development, Mason County may decrease the buffer after consultation with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Squaxin Island Tribe, after review and approval of a habitat management plan, and after a public hearing. Mitigation must be adequate to preserve or enhance the functions and values of the critical area. This means that a finding must be made that the net effect of the proposal equal or better than applying the standard buffers. If enhancement is part of the mitigation plan, then a greater level of enhancement is required to offset the time lost while the enhancement matures. The proposal as discussed in the Pre-Application conference would meet the exceptions above and therefore would not require a Resource Ordinance Variance. Consultation with the Tribe and WDF&W is required. Permits and documentation include (see Public Hearing under Shoreline Master Program): • Mason Environmental Permit • Biological Evaluation (in lieu of Habitat Management Plan) and mitigation plan SEPA The proposal is not exempt from SEPA due to the inwater and overwater work. —SEPA EnViFenmental Ghee list DNS issued by the Port of Allyn on March 14, 2016 SHORELINE MASTER PROGRAM Mason County's Shoreline Master Program includes regulatory chapters for a variety of uses but none that address the proposed use of a museum or education center. Therefore, the proposal is considered an "unspecified use" and requires a Conditional Use Permit. Since it is an unspecified use, the Master Program does not establish setbacks and would not be required to obtain a variance. The assumed valuation of the proposal exceeds the exemption level and will require a Substantial Development Permit. Both permit types require a public hearing with the County's Hearing Examiner. All permits, special provisions and associated documents will be reviewed at a single hearing. • Shoreline Substantial Development Permit • Shoreline Conditional Use Permit • Public Hearing with County's Hearing Examiner Special Note for Shoreline Conditional Use Permit: Uses which are classified or set forth in the master program as conditional uses may be authorized provided the applicant can demonstrate all of the following: • That the proposed use will be consistent with the policies of RCW 90.58 and the policies of the master program; •That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of the shorelines; •That the proposed use of the site and design of the project will be compatible with other permitted uses within the area; •That the proposed use will cause no unreasonable adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located; •That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect. Other uses which are not classified or set forth in the master program may be authorized as conditional uses provided that the applicant can demonstrate, in addition to the criteria set forth above, that extraordinary circumstances preclude reasonable use of the property in a manner consistent with the use regulations of the master program. Uses which are specifically prohibited by the master program may not be authorized. In the granting of all conditional use permits, consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for like actions in the area. For example, if conditional use permits were granted for other developments in the area where similar circumstances exist, the total of the conditional uses should remain consistent with the policies of the master program and should not produce substantial adverse effects to the shoreline environment. Please contact Kell McAboy at 360.427.9670 ext. 365 for more information and to assist you in the planning application process. DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE RCW 197-11-970 Project Name: Sargent Oyster Building Restoration and Relocation Project Description of proposal: The Sargent Oyster Building was removed from its original location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.This historic structure was removed and relocated to the Port of Allyn to be restored and repurposed as a"living" museum and education center.The North Bay Historical Society, along with other community partners, are proposing to restore this historical building to its original configuration and place it on Port of Allyn property. The restored Sargent Oyster Building will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County. The restored building will be located in the footprint of the dilapidated concrete boat ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port. The approximately 3300 square feet of concrete ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the approximately 1200 square foot Sargent Oyster Building over water.When complete and fully functional, the museum will give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility. The museum will also be used as an education center for kindergarten through college aged students. Students will be given the chance to learn hands-on about oyster biology and ecology by raising native oysters in aquaria or recirculation tanks.A program similar to"Salmon in the Classroom" is being developed.

Proposal: The Sargent Oyster Building was removed from its original location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Port Facilities: Group and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This historic structure was removed and relocated to the Port of Allyn to be restored and repurposed as a "living" Allyn Marina museum and education center. The North Bay Historical Society, along with other and Boat Launch community partners, are proposing to restore this historical building to its original North Shore Marina configuration and place it on Port of Allyn property. The restored Sargent Oyster Building and Boat Launch will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn Waterfront Allyn and Mason County. Park The restored building will be located in the footprint of the dilapidated concrete boat Allyn Kayak Park ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port. The approximately 3300 square feet of concrete and Launch ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the approximately 1200 square foot Port of Allyn Sargent Oyster Building over water. When complete and fully functional, the museum will Water Company give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility.

Emissions of PM2.5 are estimated at approximately 0.009 tons. Ultra low sulfur diesel will be used in construction equipment on this project and an anti- idling policy will be in place. Emissions will be required to meet Puget Sound Clean Air Agency opacity requirements. The PM2.5 emissions from this project have been evaluated and, as compared to the General Conformity de minimis levels for PM2.5 (100 tons per year), are insignificant and will not affect regional air quality. These potential emissions are compatible with the surrounding land uses. Emissions less than 25,000 annual metric tons of "greenhouse" gases are considered insignificant. The approximately 11.336 tons of gaseous CO2 emissions associated with this project are negligible. Noise: All regulatory noise levels shall be met. During construction there will be noise coming from likely a combination of 1 dump truck, 1 excavator, 1 bore/drill rig, 1 crane, 1 cement mixer and 1 front end loader, as well as noise generated from hand tools. Noise will be generated during construction associated with the project; however, that noise will be consistent with the surrounding industrial areas. The short-term, construction-related estimated level of noise would be over 90 decibels. This noise will occur during normal business hours during the day. There will be little noise associated with operations. SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use"not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision- making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: [hel For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part Q. Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant,"and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent,"and "affected geographic area," respectively.

The area is listed by WA Department of Ecology as stable. e. Describe the purpose, type, total area, and approximate quantities and total affected area of any filling, excavation, and grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. h� elpl This project includes two phases which potentially require filling, excavation and grading.The first phase is the removal of an existing concrete boat ramp for mitigation. This phase would include minor excavation to remove the boat ramp footings and on- bed concrete pad. Grading in the form of leveling out the beach after removing the SEPA Environmental checklist(WAC 197-11-960) May 2014 Page 3 of 16 concrete boat ramp may be required to prevent holes that could trap fish. Filling would include the placement of"habitat mix" gravel above Mean Higher High Water(MHHW), as required by WDFW as mitigation for construction impacts. Amount and area of fill is unknown and will be dictated by WDFW. Excavation and grading could include up to approximately 3300 sq.ft., the area of the existing boat ramp. The second phase of the project is relocating the restored Sargent Oyster Building to the new location. The restored building will be supported by a pile support structure. There are two possible ways to install the pile supported structure. The first option is to drive piles with a vibratory pile drive. The second option is to excavate footings and pour footings. This method will require a maximum of 35 cubic yards. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use?

Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. hel The overall project goal is to relocate a restored, historical building at the Port of Allyn to create museum and education center. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [nelV] The Sargent Oyster Building was removed from its original location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This historic structure was removed and relocated to the Port of Allyn to be restored and repurposed as a "living" museum and education center. The North Bay Historical Society, along with other community partners, are proposing to restore this historical building to its original configuration and place it on Port of Allyn property. The restored Sargent Oyster Building will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County. The restored building will be located in the footprint of the dilapidated concrete boat ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port. The approximately 3300 square feet of concrete ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the approximately 1200 square foot Sargent Oyster Building over water. When complete and fully functional, the museum will give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility. The museum will also be used as an education center for kindergarten through college aged students. Students will be given the chance to learn hands-on about oyster biology and ecology by raising native oysters in aquaria or recirculation tanks. A program similar to "Salmon in the Classroom" is being developed. 6c. Indicate the project category.

JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 5 of 14 The project will occur in multiple stages. The Sargent Oyster Building is currently stored on the southwest corner of the Port parcel near the intersection of Drum St. and State Route 3. The historic structure will be restored and rebuilt where it is being stored. After the restoration is complete, the building will be transported to the waterfront. The existing concrete boat ramp will be broken up with an excavator and pieces removed with a frontend loader. Ramp debris will be placed in a dump truck and disposed of at an appropriate site. Small pieces of debris will be removed from the beach by hand. Depressions in the beach will be removed to prevent fish stranding. The restored building will be placed on a new pile supported structure. The original pile structure was built out of creosote treated wood. The new structure will be constructed out of environmentally friendlier material. The new piling will either be steel or concrete. The piling will be placed in the beach by boring holes while the area is not inundated by tidal water. The Sargent Oyster Building will be placed on the new structure using a crane. 6f.

Introduction The Sargent Oyster Building was removed from its original location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.This historic structure was removed and relocated to the Port of Allyn to be restored and repurposed as a"living" museum and education center. The North Bay Historical Society, along with other community partners, are proposing to restore this historical building to its original configuration and place it on Port of Allyn property. The restored Sargent Oyster Building will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County. It will also be used by local shellfish aquaculturists to store equipment, load and unload equipment from barges and potentially raise seed. The restored building will be located in the upper section of the dilapidated concrete boat ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port. The approximately 3300 square feet of concrete ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the approximately 1200 square foot Sargent Oyster Building over water. When complete and fully functional, the museum will give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility. The museum will also be used as an education center for kindergarten through college aged students. Students will be given the chance to learn hands-on about oyster biology and ecology by raising native oysters in aquaria or recirculation tanks.A program similar to"Salmon in the Classroom" is being developed. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires all federal agencies to consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS)and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) if they determine that any action they fund, authorize, or carry out may affect listed species or designated critical habitat.The purpose of this biological evaluation is to determine if the proposed project will have an effect on a listed species and if either informal or formal consultation with the Services is required.A summary of species addressed by this report and the effects determinations is included in Table 1. Chapter 2. Proposed Project Location The proposed project is located at 18560 E. State Route 3 in Allyn, Mason County, Washington. The subject property is situated in northwest corner of Township 22 North,Range 1 West, Section 20,W.M. and encompasses the shoreline adjacent to Mason County Tax Parcel 12220-50-08001. 1 Contents Chapter 1.

To access the site from Shelton,take WA-3 north for 18.3 miles.The project is located on the east (right) side of WA-3 adjacent to the Port of Allyn Administration Office. Project Description The Action Area consists of several Port of Allyn(Port) owned parcels located on Case Inlet. Upland portions of the Port property are comprised of Port Administrative Building and public park, with gazebo,play structure,bathrooms,picnic areas,and parking lot.Adjacent to the shoreline,is an existing derelict concrete boat ramp, functioning boat ramp and float, large angular bulkhead and public pier. The North Bay Historical Society, in cooperation with the Port, are proposing to relocate a restored, historical building along the waterfront at the Port of Allyn to create museum and education center. The restored building will be located in the upper section of the dilapidated concrete boat ramp on the northern shoreline of the Port. The approximately 3300 square feet of concrete ramp will be removed as mitigation for installing the approximately 1200 square foot Sargent Oyster Building over water. In addition to removing the dilapidated concrete boat ramp,the applicant is proposing removing an additional 200 sq. ft. of concrete and debris on the beach, place 25 cubic yards of beach nourishment material and provide shoreline riparian planting at the Port of Allyn's kayak launch. A State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) has been issues (Appendix A). Several permits and approvals are forthcoming from Mason County, including building permit, Shoreline Substantial Development Permit,Environmental Permit and Shoreline Conditional Use Permit. 2 Construction Techniques The purpose of this project is to relocate the former historical Sargent Oyster Building that was removed from its original location to facilitate a shoreline restoration project by the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. This historic structure was removed and relocated to the Port of Allyn to be restored and repurposed as a "living" museum and education center. The North Bay Historical Society, along with other community partners,are currently restoring this historical building to its original configuration so it can be place on the Port of Allyn property.The restored Sargent Oyster Building will be used to create a museum and education center that will preserve the traditional commercial working waterfronts and pay homage to the shellfish and maritime history of Allyn and Mason County. When complete and fully functional, the museum will give the public the ability to experience what life was like in an historic oyster processing facility. The museum will also be used as an education center for kindergarten through college aged students,as it was in the past.Students will be given the chance to learn hands-on about oyster biology and ecology by raising native oysters in aquaria or recirculation tanks. A program similar to "Salmon in the Classroom" is being developed. The facility will also be used by local aquaculture businesses to store, load, and ready equipment used to grow oysters in Case Inlet. The project will occur in multiple stages. The Sargent Oyster Building is currently stored on the southwest corner of the Port parcel near the intersection of Drum St.and State Route 3.The historic structure is being restored and rebuilt where it is being stored. After the restoration is complete, the building will be transported to the waterfront. The existing concrete boat ramp will be broken up with an excavator and pieces removed with a frontend loader. Ramp debris will be placed in a dump truck and disposed of at an appropriate upland site. Small pieces of debris will be removed from the beach by hand. Depressions in the beach will be removed to prevent fish stranding. After the demolition is complete, approximately 25 cubic yards of beach nourishment material will be placed on the beach. The restored building will be placed on a new pile supported structure.The original pile structure was built out of creosote treated wood. The new structure will be constructed out of environmentally friendlier material.The new piling will either be steel or concrete.The piling will be placed in the beach by boring holes while the area is not inundated by tidal water.The Sargent Oyster Building will be placed on the new structure using a crane. Construction Schedule Construction activities will occur during daylight hours. Work below OHW will take place during the low tide period when the Action Area is not inundated.All work will be conducted between July 16 and February 14,within the prescribed work windows as determined by WDFW 3 and ACOE for juvenile salmonids, Chinook salmon, bull trout, and forage fish species (Figure 2 and Appendix B).

Action Area The "Action Area" includes the location where the project will occur plus any additional areas where physical, chemical, or biological mechanisms may be directly or indirectly affected by project activities. The geographic limits of the Action Area were defined by considering the potential spatial extent of mechanisms that may lead to impacts on listed species. The Action Area evaluated includes the Action Area and surrounding habitats within Case Inlet, a radius of 0.25 mile from the site (Figure 3). The 0.25-mile radius was chosen after considering the potential impacts of the project and the particular species that may be affected.Impacts to water quality and aquatic habitat are expected to be temporary, local and unlikely to extend more than 0.25 miles from the construction area. Noise from construction activities will be similar to existing ambient levels and will not add to in-water noise. Other mechanisms with potential for impacts to ESA- listed species or critical habitat include temporary turbidity and suspension of sediments from the boat ramp demolition and piling installation.Turbidity is expected to be localized and temporary and should be mitigated by working during low tide and deploying a floating silt curtain,as needed. 4 N Y ' l Hin Figure 3.Aerial Photo showing Action Area (red)and Project Area. Conservation Measures In order to minimize impacts from construction activities, conservation measures will be implemented. Conservation measures for project mitigation include Best Management Practices (BMPs),avoidance measures, and seasonal restrictions.The contractor will be required to comply with Washington State Surface Water Quality Standards (Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 173-201-201A), Ecology's Dangerous Waste Regulation (WAC 173-303), General Occupation Health Standards (WAC 276-62), and all regulatory permit conditions, including the WDFW Hydraulic Project Approval. Specific conservation measures are as follows: • The project will be designed to meet criteria in the current,locally accepted version of Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual. • Construction activities will occur between July 16 and February 14 to avoid impacts to juvenile salmonids, Chinook salmon, bull trout,and forage fish species. • To reduce erosion, construction activities in the intertidal zone will be limited to low tide periods. • Floating silt curtain will be placed around the construction site prior to and removed following construction, as needed. 5 • All debris will be disposed of according to applicable regulations at an approved upland waste-disposal facility. • Material will be stockpiled in the upland. Chapter 3. Environmental Baseline Existing Conditions The proposed project is located in Case Inlet, which is connected to south central Puget Sound near the tip of Key Peninsula and Harstine Island. Case Inlet is a rural area in Mason and Pierce Counties, characterized by residential and recreational development. The Action Area lies within Water Resource Inventory Area 14(WRIA 14),Kennedy-Goldsborough. Historical aerial and site photos are included in Appendix C. No streams flow into the Action Area or project site.Although no salmonid spawning occurs at or adjacent to the Action Area, it is likely the area is used for foraging and migration.Nearby streams support runs of fall chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss), summer Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) (WDFW 2017a). Coulter Creek is located 1.8 miles to the northeast and Sherwood Creek 0.5 miles to the south. According to WDFW Forage Fish Spawning Map (2017b) and Priority Habitat and Species (2017c)websites,surf smelt(Hypomesus pretiosus)were documented at and adjacent to the Action Area in 1994-95 (Appendix D1). Based on visual inspection of the beach, the substrate at the project site does not seems to currently support surf smelt spawning. Because the area has previously supported forage fish spawning, the WDFW prescribed forage fish windows for surf smelt will be followed. Case Inlet provides habitat for a variety of wildlife species common to south central Puget Sound. Benthic macrofauna include crab and bivalve species.Several bird species were observed adjacent to the Action Area. These bird species include Glaucous-winged Gulls (Larus glaucescens), Northwest Crow (Corvus caurinus), Belted Kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon) and Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias).No mammals were observed,but raccoon(Procyon lotor)tracts were observed on the beach. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife priority habitat and species maps identify eelgrass meadows within I/4 mile, estuarine intertidal wetlands, hardshell clams and surf smelt spawning area in and adjacent to the proposed project area. 6 Surrounding Land/Water Uses The project site and Action Area are located along the western shoreline of Case Inlet within the Allyn Urban Growth Area (UGA). Case Inlet is dominated by recreational and residential properties. The land use directly to the north and south of the project site are residential. The neighbor to the north has a concrete bulkhead and a single family residence within approximately 28 feet of the shoreline.The neighbors to the south of the park are approximately 100 feet landward of the unarmored shoreline. Shoreline Vegetation and Habitat Features The project site consists of an existing rock bulkhead and concrete boat ramp. The Washington Department of Ecology Shoreline Atlas(Appendix D2)identifies the project area and Action Area as stable,with no known landslide or erosion hazards. Vegetation above OWH has been modified.No intact native riparian communities are located with the Port of Allyn property.An existing bulkhead divides the intertidal and upland communities.A concrete path is located directly landward of the bulkhead. There is also a large gravel parking area. The vegetation in the park areas mainly consists of lawn, a few Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), red alder (Alnus rubra), big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), and sword ferns (Polystichum munitum). There were no observed habitat features, such as snags, downed logs or wetlands in the upland area. Aquatic Substrate and Vegetation The nearshore areas adjacent to the project site is predominantly pea-gravel and cobble substrate that transitions to mudflat. The Washington Department of Ecology Shoreline Atlas (Appendix D3) does not identify any known vegetation at or directly adjacent to the project site. There are indicates the presence of fringe (patchy) eelgrass to the south and fringe (patchy) salt marsh vegetation to the north. A few areas of rockweed (fucus Spp.)were observed attached to the boat ramp and rocks. Patches of pickleweed (Salicornia virginica) was observed to the south of the project, outside of the project area and work corridor. Small amounts drift algae (Ma. Spp) was also seen on the beach. There are two small pockets of vegetation located above OHW and the bulkhead. This area contained a mixture of a few salt tolerant plants, mixed in with invasive species. The native salt tolerant vegetation include a few blades of Dunegrass (Elymus mollis) and a few Sea Plantain (Plantago maritima). Invasive species included Field bindweed/morning (Convolvulus arvensis or Calystegia sepium), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum Spp.) and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor). The native vegetation will be protected during construction,while the invasive species removed by hand. 7 The beach at and adjacent to the project site have been designated as spawning habitat for forage fish (WDFW 2017b). According to the WDFW Forage Fish Spawning Map, surf smelt eggs were documents near the existing boat ramp in 1994-95. Currently, the beach only has a small band of substrate sufficient for surf smelt spawning. Most of the beach is cobble. The area appears to be starved of spawning sized sand and gravels. The area is almost entirely armored and there are no feeder bluffs located up drift of the site. I would suspect that the current pier, and concrete boat ramp are disrupting the drift cell,further limiting the distribution of the limited spawning substrate. Water and Sediment Quality The marine water bodies in and adjacent to Action Area are currently included on Ecology's 303(d) list of impaired water quality for exceeding the state criteria for contamination(WDOE 2017).The Action Area is currently listed on Ecology's 303(d) list for dissolved oxygen (Appendix 134). Sediment at and adjacent to the Action Area have not been sampled or identified as containing detrimental substances. Species Information The following species list is based on data acquired from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS 2017),National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS2017),Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW 2017c), and Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR 2017) websites and publications(Appendix E).A number of species present in Western Washington and Mason County are listed as Federally Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This section includes a discussion of listed species with the potential to be within the Action Area and possible impacts due to the proposed project activities. Several ESA-listed species from Appendix D are not found in or near the vicinity of the Action Area and will not be addressed in the Effects Determination chapter of this Biological Evaluation. The proposed project is surrounded by residential and recreational development and it is highly unlikely that particular plants and animals will be found in the vicinity of the Action Area. The ESA-listed species not affected(No Effect)by proposed project activities and project location and surrounding environmental conditions include: spotted owl; leatherback sea turtle; humpback whale; albatross; Grizzly Bear; Caribou; Lynx; Otter; Green Sturgeon; grey wolf; Spalding's Catchfly;Checker-mellow;Desert-parsley;water howellia;ladies'tresses;Lupine;Paintbrush and stickseed()WDFW 2008). 8 Table 1.

They are found from the Aleutian Islands, Alaska to central California. Marbled murrelets may winters as far south as southern California.In Washington,the highest densities of marbled murrelets are found along the coastal waters of the Olympic Peninsula. Murrelets nests and roosts in mature and old growth coastal forests. Nesting may occur from April to September (WDFW 1991). They mainly feed from 500 feet and 1.2 miles off shore in waters less than 100 feet deep.Preferred prey items include small fish like sand lance(Ammodytes hexapterus),Pacific herring(Clupea harengus pallasi)and surf smelt(Hypomesus pretiosus),and crustaceans.Critical habitat has been designated in Oregon and California, but no critical habitat has been designated in the Action Area or marine waters in Washington. Bull Trout Salvelinus confluentus—Threatened, listed 1999 (64 FR 58909) Critical habitat designated October 2010 (75 FR 63898) Bull trout occur in less than half of their historic range,with fragmented and isolated populations occurring throughout British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Bull trout exhibit a wide range of life history strategies including resident,fluvial,adfluvial,and anadramous (WDFW 2000).Anadramous life history forms migrate through large rivers to spawn in cold,clear tributaries. Spawning occurs from late August through November for Coastal and Puget Sound populations.Fry emerge from late winter to early spring.Marine waters and estuaries are used for growth and maturation. 9 Four distinct stocks of bull trout have been identified within the Southern Puget Sound.They are the Puyallup River,Puyallup/Carbon River,Puyallup/White and Nisqually River bull trout stocks. These stocks, although rare, are known to the nearshore habitat throughout the year. Based on the distance to known populations, it is unlikely but possible that bull trout may occur in the Action area.There is no known record of bull trout occurring in the Action Area. Puget Sound Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha — Threatened, listed 1999 (64 FR 14308), reaffirmed June 2005 (70FR37160) Critical habitat designated September 2005 (70 FR 52630) Chinook salmon use the nearshore of Puget Sound for feeding, rearing and migration. Juvenile Chinook salmon use estuary areas for feeding,rearing and osmoregulating during spring,summer, and fall, depending on their life history strategy. Stream-type Chinook salmon spend limited time in estuaries,while ocean-type Chinook can spend may months feeding and growing there.Juvenile Chinook prefer estuary and marine habitats with adequate water quality, temperatures, food, and depth. In addition to these basic requirements, Chinook also require cover in the form of overhanging shoreline vegetation, woody material, and marine vegetation such as macroalgae or eelgrass.Case Inlet offers many of their basic and preferred requirements,therefore it is likely that juvenile Chinook may be found within the Action Area. Puget Sound Steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss—Threatened, listed May 2007(72 FR 26722) Critical habitat designated September 2005 (78 FR 2726) Fifteen distinct population segments(DPS)of steelhead trout have been identified in Washington, Oregon and California. Within these DPSs, steelhead trout exhibit two reproductive ecotypes. Summer or winter ecotypes are based on the duration of spawning migration and state of sexual maturity at time of river entry. Stream in south central Puget Sound support winter runs of steelhead. Steelhead trout,like other salmonids,heavily utilized nearshore areas to complete their life history. After spawning in streams and rivers,juvenile steelhead migrate into estuary areas for growth and osmoregulation. Juveniles and adults use the nearshore area throughout the year for forage, migration and growth. It is likely that steelhead trout may utilize parts of Case Inlet and may be found within the Action Area. Bocaccio Rockfish Sebastes paucispiniss—Endangered, listed July 2010 (75 FR 22276) Critical habitat designated November 2014 (79 FR 68041) 10 Bocaccio rockfish distribution ranges from northern British Columbia to central Baja California. Spawning(hatching) occurs from December through April. The live larval young drift over large areas in the surface waters. Larval and juvenile Bocaccio may passively drift for several months before settling in deeper habitats. These fish were once quite common on steep walls of Puget Sound.However, due to declining numbers and increased rarity they were listed as endangered on April 28, 2010 (NMFS 2010a). Adults generally occupy water 50- 250 meters in depth over rocky outcroppings, boulder fields, and sloping walls and will school with both conspecifics and other species of rock fish. Juveniles are found in much shallower waters over rocky substrate with various understory kelps and/or sandy bottoms with eelgrass.Approximately one month after settling juveniles will start to school. Adults and large juveniles feed on small fish and squid, whereas larvae and small juveniles feed on copepods,krill, diatoms, dinoflagellates and various larvae(Love et. al 2002). Canary Rockfish Sebastes pinniger—Threatened, listed July 2010 (75 FR 22276) Critical habitat designated November 2014 (79 FR 68041) Canary rockfish are a long lived member of the scorpion fish family. Found from northern British Columbia to northern Baja California, they can live up to 80 years of age. In recent years, canary rockfish populations in Puget Sound have declined, leading to their listing as threatened on April 28, 2010(NMFS 2010a). Canary rockfish spawn in the winter, producing pelagic larvae and juveniles that remain in the upper water column for 34 months (Love et al. 2002).Juveniles settle in areas of shallow water (15 to 20 meters) around nearshore rocky reefs, where they may congregate for up to three years (Boehlert 1980, Sampson 1996)before moving into deeper water. Adults live at depths of 80-200 meters in areas with significant currents around high relief rock outcrops. Yelloweye Rockfish Sebastes ruberrimus—Threatened, listed July 2010 (75 FR 22276) Critical habitat designated November 2014 (79 FR 68041) Yelloweye rockfish, once a common species found from the eastern portions of the Aleutian Islands to Northern California.Like other members of the scorpion fish family,Yelloweye rockfish are extremely long-lived reaching ages of up 118 years. Due to declining numbers and increased rarity they were listed as threatened on April 28,2010(NMFS 2010a). Little is known about the larval stage of yelloweye rockfish,but it is most likely similar to the drift larval stages of bocaccio and canary rockfish.Young juveniles migrate to vertical walls with cloud sponges and anemones at depths greater than 15 meters. Adults and subadults occupy rocky areas with crevices, caves, and boulder where they feed on small fish, shrimp, crab, and lingcod eggs (Love et. al, 2002). 11 Killer Whale,Southern Resident Orcinus orca—Endangered, listed November 2005 (70 FR 69903) Critical habitat designated November 2006 (71 FR 69054) Killer Whales are found in open oceans and coastal waters. Southern resident Killer Whales may be found spring through fall in Strait of Juan de Fuca, Strait of Georgia and Puget Sound. Movements into the Puget Sound usually coincide with migration of salmonids into the region (NMFS 2008b). The Puget Sound contains designated habitat for southern resident Killer Whale. The proposed project actions are occurring in tidal elevation too shallow for Killer Whales,but at least the outer limits of the Action Area are at a depth that may allow access. Chapter 4. Effects Determination Federally listed Threatened and Endangered species that may occur in the project Action Area include Marbled Murrelet, Bull Trout, Puget Sound Chinook Salmon, Puget Sound Steelhead, Bocaccio Rockfish, Canary Rockfish, Yelloweye Rockfish and Killer Whale. The project Action Area includes designated critical habitat for Chinook salmon,steelhead trout,rockfish(nearshore) and limited Killer Whale habitat. A summary of the effect determinations for the proposed project activities on each species is presented in Table 2.Potential direct effects include behavior disturbance from construction noise and water quality impacts due to increased turbidity from removing the existing concrete boat ramp and beach debris and installing the oyster house piling. These effects will be minimized by the conservation measures listed in Chapter 2. The direct effects are considered localized to the immediate project vicinity,temporary and short term in duration,and offset by the habitat benefits associated with the project reestablishment and enhancements. There are several Threatened or Endangered species in Washington and Puget Sound that are unlikely to be effected by project activities. Two of those species, Humpback Whales and Leatherback sea turtles are unlikely to be found in the Case Inlet.Humpback whales,usually found in open coastal waters, do not usually occur within Case Inlet. Historically, Humpback Whales sightings in Case Inlet are extremely rare and have been in deeper water near Harstine Island. Leatherback Sea Turtles are occasionally seen along the Washington coast, rarely further south than the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Leatherback Sea Turtles have not been seen in Case Inlet. Due to their unlikely presents, the rarity of the species and the anticipated short and temporary impacts associated with the project,the proposed actions will have No Effects on Humpback Whales or Leatherback Sea Turtles. 12 Table 2.

Similarly,no designated critical habitat(i.e.terrestrial nesting habitat) is located in or along the shores of Puget Sound or Case Inlet. Designated critical habitat does not include marine foraging habitat. Marbled murrelet sightings are rare in the central and southern Puget Sound. Historically, limited sighting were made in King County and they have been absent from Kitsap and Island Counties (Seattle Audubon 2015).The nearest nesting areas to the Case Inlet are located east in the Cascade Mountains east of Lake Stevens and north of Sultan(approximately 34 records)and approximately 13 35 miles west in Olympic Mountains,west of Port Hadlock and Port Townsend(approximately 15 records) (WDFW 2008). Effects of the Action Potential effects of the proposed oyster house project on marbled murrelets primarily include disturbance and temporary increased turbidity during demolishing of the boat ramp and removal of beach debris and the installation of piling. This may inhibit foraging or result in temporarily reduced food availability and reduced visibility/detectability of prey. Noise from construction equipment and temporary increases in turbidity during excavation will likely cause prey fish to avoid the immediate area of the proposed project. Consequently, in the unlikely event that a marbled murrelet was present within the immediate vicinity of the Action Area, they would be expected to temporarily avoid the immediate area and forage elsewhere until construction activities are completed. The addition of the construction noise in the localized area of Case Inlet does not appreciably add to disturbance noise for marbled murrelets,particularly since the area already has moderate levels of noise.Any construction noise will be short-term and confined to the project site or Action Area. No underwater noise should be produced,since the work will be performed in the dry at low tides. Any terrestrial noise will blend in to the ambient background noise or be buffered by Case Inlet before it can disturb locations outside of the Action Area. In the unlike event that marbled murrelets are in the area,they would temporarily avoid the Action Area. Determination of Effect The proposed oyster house project activities will not result in any long-term degradation of habitat or other significant adverse effects on marbled murrelets. Short-term effects such as noise disturbance and reduced prey availability will either not occur because of conservation measures or will be very small in magnitude, as discussed above. Temporary disturbance to foraging activities are expected to be insignificant and discountable. The survival or reproductive success of marbled murrelets in the project vicinity would not be affected. Therefore, the proposed demolition and construction activities May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect on marbled murrelet. The proposed project will have No Effect on designated critical habitat for marbled murrelet since none is present in the vicinity of the Action Area. Bull Trout— Coastal/Puget Sound Distinct Population Segment Occurrence in the Project Area The current distribution of bull trout within Puget Sound marine waters is not well understood. They have been documented to occur from the Canadian border to at least the Nisqually River delta, but no record of historical bull trout presence in the project site or Action Area is known to exist. Bull trout migrate throughout the inner bays and nearshore of Puget Sound from Possession Sound, to the Nisqually Delta (WDFW 1998). Bull trout are typically found in snowmelt- 14 dominated streams like the Puyallup and Nisqually Rivers that maintain cold water temperatures year-round in headwater reaches(WDFW,2002). The Puyallup River supports a small population of anadramous bull trout.Adult or sub-adults from this population may occasionally use the shoreline near the Action Area when feeding on outmigrating juvenile Chinook(Chan 2012). Although adult or juvenile bull trout may be present in nearshore waters year round, the likelihood of encountering bull trout at the project site and Action Area during the construction work window is relatively low. Effects of the Action Proposed project activities are likely to cause temporary and localized increases in turbidity. Although bull trout are unlikely to be in the Action Area, potential foraging habitat may be temporarily unavailable because of localized turbidity. Prey items important to bull trout are not likely to be affected by project activities.Like bull trout,the prey items, such as Chinook salmon, will temporarily avoid the Action Area. In-water noise will not be increased by project activities. Noises produced by construction equipment will be terrestrial and similar to surrounding rural noise levels. Conservation measures described in Chapter 2, particularly avoidance of the juvenile salmon migration period, are expected to prevent adverse short-term effects to bull trout during project activities.The temporary loss of the benthic organisms during the construction of the oyster house is expected to have a negligible effect on long-term habitat quality within the Action Area.No loss of forage fish communities will occur as the work will be performed during the authorized forage fish work window or after a forage fish spawning survey. Overall, the effects of the proposed action would be insignificant and discountable due to the temporary duration of the proposed project actions and the implementation of the proposed conservation measures to minimize the potential for bull trout to be within the Action Area. Critical Habitat The following primary constituent elements (PCEs) were given for bull trout in the Federal Register(October 18, 2010) in the re-designation of critical habitat. (1) Springs, seeps, groundwater sources, and subsurface water connectivity(hyporheic flows) to contribute to water quality and quantity and provide thermal refugia. Springs, seeps, and groundwater sources are not located within or near the Action Area or Action Area. (2) Migration habitats with minimal physical, biological, or water quality impediments between spawning, rearing, overwintering, and freshwater and marine foraging habitats, including but not limited to permanent,partial, intermittent,or seasonal barriers. 15 The proposed action may have a temporary effect on migrating salmonids,primarily in the form of temporary elevation of turbidity and noise levels, which are considered to be insignificant. No permanent barriers to migration would result from construction activities. In fact, the removal of the current concrete boat ramp should have a net positive result by reducing the amount of bed coverage in the area and removing a structure that is acting as a partial groin. (3) An abundant food base, including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and forage fish. Other than temporary disruption of benthic and epibenthic food sources, the oyster house project would have an insignificant effect on the food base in Case Inlet. Long-term, the reestablished intertidal habitat will add complexity to the shoreline and provide more opportunities for prey items. (4) Complex river, stream, lake, reservoir, and marine shoreline aquatic environments, and processes that establish and maintain these aquatic environments,with features such as large wood, side channels, pools, undercut banks and unembedded substrates, to provide a variety of depths, gradients,velocities,and structure. The oyster house project is occurring in a developed marine shoreline aquatic environment. The majority of the shoreline is bulkheaded or armored shoreline. The proposed project will remove approximately 3300 square feet of intertidal and shallow subtidal habitat that is currently unavailable to aquatic organisms. . (5) Water temperatures ranging from 2 to 15 °C (36 to 59 °F), with adequate thermal refugia available for temperatures that exceed the upper end of this range. Specific temperatures within this range will depend on bull trout life-history stage and form; geography; elevation; diurnal and seasonal variation; shading, such as that provided by riparian habitat; streamflow; and local groundwater influence. The majority of the south central Puget Sound, including Case Inlet, is moderately stratified compared to most other Puget Sound basins because no major river systems flow into this area. Although surface temperatures in the Case Inlet can reach 14-150C in summer, the temperatures of subsurface waters generally range from 10-130C in summer and 8-101C in winter (WDOE 1999). The oyster house project will not alter or increase water temperature beyond the current average temperatures. (6)In spawning and rearing areas, substrate of sufficient amount, size,and composition to ensure success of egg and embryo overwinter survival,fry emergence,and young-of-the-year and juvenile survival. A minimal amount of fine sediment, generally ranging in size from silt to coarse sand, embedded in larger substrates, is characteristic of these conditions. The size and amounts of fine sediment suitable to bull trout will likely vary from system to system. Case Inlet and the Action Area are not utilized by bull trout for spawning or rearing; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. 16 (7)A natural hydrograph, including peak, high, low, and base flows within historic and seasonal ranges or, if flows are controlled,minimal flow departure from a natural hydrograph. The proposed oyster house project would not alter the hydrograph or tidal exchange beyond the existing conditions. Replacing the existing boat ramp with the pile supported oyster house should improve existing conditions. This PCE would be improved by the proposed project. (8) Sufficient water quality and quantity such that normal reproduction, growth, and survival are not inhibited. The proposed oyster house project would not alter the quantity of water in the Action Area. The proposed project would have a temporary, insignificant effect on turbidity. (9)Sufficiently low levels of occurrence of nonnative predatory(e.g.,lake trout,walleye,northern pike, smallmouth bass); interbreeding(e.g.,brook trout); or competing(e.g.,brown trout) species that, if present,are adequately temporally and spatially isolated from bull trout. The presence of such predatory, interbreeding,or competing species would not occur in the Action Area. Predation by marine aquatic species would not be affected by the proposed oyster house project. Predation by terrestrial species, mainly avian species will be avoided by using anti- perching bird spikes or other devices. In summary, the Action Area may serve as migratory or feeding habitat for Coastal/Puget Sound bull trout heading to or from the Puyallup or Nisqually Rivers. As in most of the Puget Sound nearshore locations, the PCEs in the action area have been significantly altered and are not likely to be use by bull trout. Construction activities may result in temporary impacts to substrates and water quality. As discussed in previous paragraphs, these impacts are minor, temporary, and discountable, and do not interfere with movements or feeding of bull trout. Determination of Effect For the reasons described above, no significant cumulative, interrelated or interdependent effects on bull trout are expected from the proposed oyster house project or activities. Overall, due to the low likelihood of an individual bull trout being within the Action Area, the effects of the proposed action on Coastal/Puget Sound bull trout would be insignificant and discountable. Therefore, the proposed oyster house project activities May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect Coastal/Puget Sound bull trout and will have No Effect on designated critical habitat. Puget Sound Chinook Salmon Occurrence in Project Area Chinook salmon in Case Inlet utilize the shoreline for migration and feeding. Adults enter Case Inlet from mid-June through the fall. Chinook salmon may be present or migrating through south 17 central Puget Sound and the marine waters adjacent to the Action Area from mid-May through October. Outmigrating juvenile Chinook salmon could potentially use the waters in and around the Action Area from March until mid-July. As with much of the Puget Sound nearshore,the habitat in the Action Area has been significantly altered. Spawning opportunities for Chinook salmon do not occur in the Action Area.No rivers or streams occur within the project site or Action Area. Carr Inlet and the Action Area serves as rearing, feeding and migratory habitat for Puget Sound Chinook. Chinook salmon migrating up the shoreline could find refuge from strong shoreline currents and feeding opportunities.Ocean-type Chinook utilize estuaries and nearshore areas more extensively for rearing than stream-type juveniles (Healey 1991). Both life history strategies of juveniles Chinook could move into marine waters in and around the Action Area to feed on drifting insects and small nektonic organisms(calanoid copepods,crab larvae,larval and juvenile fish,and euphausiids) (Simenstad et al. 1982;Healey 1991). Effects of the Action The proposed project will not result in long-term, permanent impacts to Puget Sound Chinook salmon.Scheduling construction to occur during approved work windows and during periods when the tide is below the work area will minimize impacts to salmon. Construction activities that will occur below OHW will likely have short-term impacts on salmonids that may be present in the Action Area during that time. However, project impacts are likely to be insignificant because of their localized and temporary nature and the existing impacted environmental conditions of the site(i.e., existing bulkhead).These impacts will be minimized by conservation measures included in the Chapter 2. The reestablishment of intertidal habitat will improve local habitat conditions long term. Critical Habitat Critical habitat, as defined in the ESA, identifies specific areas that have the physical and biological features that are essential to the conservation of a listed species, and that may require special management consideration or protection. Designated critical habitat for Puget Sound Chinook salmon includes all naturally spawned populations from rivers and streams flowing into Puget Sound. Critical habitat is designated for areas containing the physical and biological habitat features, or primary constituent elements (PCEs) essential for the conservation of the species or that require special management consideration.PCEs include sites that are essential to supporting one or more life stages of the evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) and that contain physical or biological features essential to the conservation of the ESU. Specific sites and features designated for Puget Sound Chinook salmon include: 1. Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity, water quality, and substrate conditions that support spawning incubation and larval development. 18 The Action Area does not contain freshwater spawning sites; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. 2. Freshwater rearing sites with water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form and maintain physical habitat conditions and support juvenile growth and mobility; water quality, natural cover, and forage that support juvenile development. The Action Area does not contain freshwater rearing sites; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. 3. Freshwater migration corridors free of obstruction, with water quantity, water quality, and natural cover conditions that support juvenile and adult mobility and survival. The Action Area does not contain freshwater migration corridors; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. 4. Estuarine areas free of obstruction, with water quantity, water quality, and salinity conditions supporting juvenile and adult physiological transitions between fresh and salt water, as well as natural cover and forage supporting juvenile and adult survival and growth. The Action Area does not contain estuarine areas; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. 5. Nearshore marine areas free of obstruction, with water quantity, water quality, natural cover,and forage supporting survival and growth. The proposed oyster house project will not increase obstructions or alter water quantity, quality or forage of water in Case Inlet or the Action Area permanently. The Action Area is currently impacted by a bulkhead and concrete boat ramp that extends below OHW. These obstructions will be reduced by removing the concrete boat ramp and placing the oyster house on piling. Overall, the project will increase water quantity and forage by removing fill from 3300 square feet of intertidal habitat. 6.Offshore marine areas with water-quality conditions and forage supporting survival and growth. The Action Area does not contain offshore marine areas and will not degrade water quality conditions or forage; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. Determination of Effect Adult,sub-adult,and juvenile Chinook salmon utilize the nearshore of the Puget Sound for at least some stage of their life history. Therefore, the proposed oyster house project may affect the 19 threatened Puget Sound Chinook salmon. However, any Chinook salmon present would experience negligible effects from the proposed oyster house. In the long run, reestablished intertidal habitat will increase the amount and quality of available habitat in Case Inlet and the Action Area. Conservation measures including avoiding construction activities during the migration period of juvenile Chinook salmon and other salmonids and deployment of a silt curtain, as needed, would prevent adverse short-term effects to Chinook salmon during construction of the oyster house project.The construction work will occur during prescribed ACOE and WDFW"work windows" when Chinook salmon are less likely to be present in the Action Area. The temporary loss of the benthic communities in the project areas would have only a negligible effect on Chinook salmon habitat. For the reasons described above,no significant cumulative, interrelated or interdependent effects on Puget Sound Chinook salmon are expected from the proposed oyster house project Overall,the effects of the proposed action on Puget Sound Chinook salmon would be insignificant and discountable. Therefore, the proposed oyster house project activities May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect Puget Sound Chinook salmon. Similarly, the proposed oyster house project activities May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect designated critical habitat for Puget Sound Chinook salmon. Puget Sound Steelhead Occurrence in the project area Winter populations of steelhead trout have been documented in Sherwood and Coulter Creeks (WDFW 2017a). They typically enter freshwater from December through mid-March and spawn from early February to early April(WDFW,2002).Juveniles outmigrate from mid-March through mid-July. Adults and juvenile steelhead trout most likely use the Action Area for migration and limited rearing and feeding.Although no record of steelhead use exists for the Action Area, it is probable that small numbers of individuals may enter the area. Effects of Action Potential direct and indirect effects to Puget Sound steelhead from the project are similar to Puget Sound Chinook salmon. Although the impacts of terrestrial noise and temporary turbidity would be short-term and localized, there is still the potential to affect steelhead trout. Potential impacts of the project action include physiological responses such as elevated stress levels due to noise, gill injury due to temporary exposure to increased turbidity levels,and behavioral responses, such as reduced feeding opportunities and avoiding the work area. 20 The substrate in the Action Area contain gravel and cobble, therefore suspended material is expected to settle out quickly. To further reduce the potential impacts of turbidity, a floating silt curtain will be secured around the project site, as needed. Working during the approved work window should minimize impacts and disturbances to steelhead trout in the Action Area. Since steelhead typically utilize deeper marine water habitats they would likely be present in low numbers or would not be present at the project site or Action Area. This project will not result in long-term, permanent impacts to Puget Sound steelhead. These temporary impacts will be minimized by conservation measures included working when juvenile steelhead trout are less likely to be in the area and using floating silt curtain to minimize the effects of turbidity.There would be longer-term enhancements of water quantity and habitat by increasing the amount of intertidal habitat.Therefore impacts are expected to be minimal and discountable. Critical Habitat The following primary constituent elements (PCEs) were given for steelhead trout in the Federal Register(September 5, 2005) in the designation of critical habitat: (1) Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity and quality conditions and substrate supporting spawning, incubation and larval development; The Action Area does not contain freshwater spawning sites;this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. (2) Freshwater rearing sites with: (i) Water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form and maintain physical habitat conditions and support juvenile growth and mobility; (ii) Water quality and forage supporting juvenile development;and(iii)Natural cover such as shade, submerged and overhanging large wood, log jams and beaver dams, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels,and undercut banks. The Action Area does not contain freshwater rearing sites; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. (3) Freshwater migration corridors free of obstruction and excessive predation with water quantity and quality conditions and natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels, and undercut banks supporting juvenile and adult mobility and survival; The Action Area does not contain freshwater migration corridors; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. (4) Estuarine areas free of obstruction and excessive predation with: (i) Water quality, water quantity, and salinity conditions supporting juvenile and adult physiological transitions between fresh- and saltwater; (ii) Natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels; and 21 (iii) Juvenile and adult forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation. Action Area does not contain estuarine areas; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. (5) Nearshore marine areas free of obstruction and excessive predation with: (i) Water quality and quantity conditions and forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation; and (ii) Natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood,aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, and side channels. The proposed oyster house project will not increase obstructions or alter water quantity, quality or reduce natural cover in Case Inlet or the Action Area. The Action Area is currently impacted by a bulkhead and concrete boat ramp that extends below OHW. The current obstruction will be removing the concrete boat ramp and building the oyster house on piling. Overall, the project will increase water quantity and forage by removing bed and overwater coverage from 3300 square feet of intertidal and shallow subtidal habitat. Natural cover will not be effected or altered by the project. (6) Offshore marine areas with water quality conditions and forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation. The Action Area does not contain offshore marine areas and will not degrade water quality conditions or forage; this PCE would not be affected by the proposed project. Determination of Effect The project will be conducted within the appropriate fish windows to reduce the potential for Steelhead to be in the vicinity of the project during construction. The alteration of fish habitat will have a net beneficial effect on this species due to intertidal and shallow subtidal habitat reestablishment being proposed. Other impacts to the Action Area are either temporary in nature or should not affect aquatic species. Due to the reduced presence of steelhead, the timing of the proposed project actions, and the localized and temporary nature of the turbidity, the proposed project actions May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect Puget Sound steelhead or steelhead Critical Habitat. Bocaccio Rockfish Effects of Action It is very unlikely that any adult Bocaccio rockfish would be present in the project area as they tend to inhabit deeper water with rocky substrate. Bocaccios have not been documented in the Puget Sound since 2001 (NMFS 2008a). Historically, they were seen as bycatch in the south central Puget Sound near Point Defiance and Tacoma Narrows(Palsson et al 2009). The substrate in the Action Area is gravel and cobble in the nearshore with mud in the lower elevations of the Action 22 Area. Based on the water depths in the Action Area and the lack of suitable habitat, it is extremely unlikely that adult Bocaccio rockfish would be present. Although juveniles are present in shallower water, they are also associated with rocky areas with kelp cover and sandy areas with eelgrass beds. The probability of the larval stage or juvenile bocaccio to be present at the Action Area is very low. Determination of Effect Due to the lack of rockfish habitat, distance from deeper waters habitats and the fact that the work will occur when the area is not inundated by tidal water, the proposed action May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect this species or critical habitat. Canary Rockfish Effects of Action Canary rockfish are distributed throughout the Puget Sound although their numbers are greater in the north Puget Sound and San Juan Island (Miller and Borton 1980). In the south central Puget Sound, recreation catch records document a local population near the Tacoma Narrows. Adult canary rockfish are unlikely to be encountered in Action Area, as it lacks deep water, proper substrate, and high relief habitat. Juvenile canary rockfish recruitment and rearing is unlikely to occur as it lacks hard rocky substrate. Determination of Effect There is limited potential for occurrence of rockfish within the project site or Action Area. Drift larval and small juvenile canary rockfish may potentially be present in Puget Sound waters during the summer months. Project effects to larval canary rockfish are highly unlikely. Construction activity impacts to canary rockfish are minimal as the work will occur in the dry at low tide. Due to the lack of canary rockfish habitat and the lack of impacts to habitat, the proposed project May Affect,but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect canary rockfish DPS or critical habitat. Yelloweye Rockfish Effects of Action Yelloweye rockfish are somewhat rare in the south central Puget Sound (NMFS 2008). They are encountered more frequently in the north Puget Sound and Hood Canal(Miller and Borton 1980). It is very unlikely that adult yelloweye rockfish will be present in the project site or Action Area as they inhabit deep water with rocky substrate that provides refuge space and feeding opportunities. This type of habitat is not present within the project site or Action Area. Juvenile yelloweye rock fish are also not likely to be found near the Action Area as they prefer shallow areas with rocky substrate (NMFS 2008a). Drift larval may be present in the Action Area but 23 would likely not be effected by project actions because they will occur when the work corridor is not inundated by tidal water. Determination of Effect Due to the lack of presence of yelloweye rockfish and yelloweye rockfish habitat in the project area and the proposed conservation measures and BMWs the proposed action May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect this species or its critical habitat. Southern Resident Killer Whales Effects of the Action It is highly unlikely that a Southern Resident Killer Whales would enter the Action Area because the shallow depth likely limits their presence. Killer Whales tend to require open water with no restrictions (NOAA 2006). Also, during the proposed project work window, Southern Resident Killer Whales are typically not present in the Case Inlet as they tend to prefer open water habitats with feeding opportunities during the summer months. Critical Habitat Southern Resident Killer Whales prefer deeper water in the Puget Sound where they can follow their primary salmonid source of prey(Jensen, 2006). Critical habitat has been designated for the Southern Resident Killer Whales and is defined as, all marine waters of Puget Sound deeper than 20 feet relative to a contiguous shoreline delimited by the line of extreme high water (71 FR 69054).Critical habitat includes nearshore and offshore marine areas of the Puget Sound,including Case Inlet. Although it is highly unlikely that the Southern Resident Killer Whales will be in the Action Area during construction,some life stage of their prey is likely to be present. The PCEs for Southern Residents Killer Whales include the following:(1)Water quality to support growth and development;(2)Prey species of sufficient quantity,quality and availability to support individual growth, reproduction and development, as well as overall population growth; and (3) Passage conditions to allow for migration,resting,and foraging. The Action Area partially occurs in a defined critical habitat.Although all of the work will occur above 0 foot elevation (MLLW) and when the work area in not inundated by tidal waters, temporary, short term impacts in the form of turbidity may occur in area of the adjacent nearshore areas 20 feet deep or deeper.The proposed project will not affect PCE 1 or 2,but may temporarily effect prey items (salmonids) included in PCE 2. As discussed in previous sections, impacts to prey species, such as Chinook and other salmonids, will be discountable with the use of conservation measures and BMPs. Effects to Southern Residents Killer Whales critical habitat are not anticipated. Determination of Effect 24 Southern Resident Killer Whales may be present within Case Inlet and the Action Area during project activities. The proposed project actions may affect Southern Resident Killer Whales because work will be conducted below MHHW when the work area is not tidally inundated,there will be habitat alterations associated with the project and water turbidity may be temporarily increased during project activities. The project is not likely to adversely affect Southern Residential Killer Whales because project actions will occur outside of the defined nearshore critical area, habitat alteration (reestablishment of intertidal habitat) will benefit salmonid prey species,water quality impacts that may occur are temporary and should not affect aquatic species and work will stop if a Southern Residential Killer Whale is observed within the Action Area. Although the outer limits of the Action Area is located in nearshore critical habitat,the proposed project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect designated critical habitat for Southern Resident Killer Whales because habitat at the Action Area or within the Action Area generally does not provide suitable habitat for Killer Whales.The project actions will not negatively affect water quality to support growth and development,should improve local habitat conditions for prey species, and will not obstruct migration corridors,resting or foraging conditions. Chapter 5. Essential Fish Habitat Analysis The Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996(Public Law 104-267)amended the Magnuson-Stevens Act to require Federal agencies to consult with National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS) on projects that may adversely affect"Essential Fish Habitat"(EFH). The Pacific States Fishery Management Council amended the Pacific Groundfish Fishery Management Plan and the Coastal Pelagic Species Management Plan (1998) to designate waters and substrate necessary for spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth of commercially important fish species. The objective of this EFH assessment is to notify NOAA Fisheries of the project and potential effects and determine whether the proposed actions"may adversely affect"designated EFH for relevant commercially, federally managed fish species within the proposed Action Area. The analysis also includes conservation measures proposed to avoid, minimize,and offset potential adverse effects to designated EFH. The marine extent of salmon, groundfish,and coastal pelagic EFH includes those waters from the nearshore and tidal submerged environments within Washington, Oregon, and California state territorial waters out to the exclusive economic zone (370.4 km) offshore between the Canadian border to the north and the Mexican border to the south. There are seven composite EFHs: estuarine; rocky shelf; non-rocky shelf; canyon; continental shelf/basin; neritic and oceanic habitats. Relevant assessment of EFH at the proposed Action Area includes intertidal estuarine habitat.The proposed oyster house and intertidal/shallow subtidal habitat reestablishment includes the removal of 3300 square feet of bed and overwater coverage, 200 square feet of beach debris removal and riparian planting. The oyster house will be placed on steel or concrete pilings to prevent impacts to the drift cell. 25 The oyster house project may temporarily reduce benthic organism populations that are prey species for various groundfish and juvenile pelagic fishes that utilize intertidal estuarine EFH. Benthic and epibenthic prey species will be temporarily displaced, but are expected to recover quickly after construction activities are completed.Both the disturbed and the reestablished habitat invertebrate communities are expected to recover quickly, and result in a net gain of biological productivity. Similarly, forage species, such as surf smelt, sand lance, and squid could also be temporarily impacted by elevated temporary turbidity.However,the impact is expected to be small or none existent, because of the gain in intertidal estuarine habitat. Currently, the existing boat ramp is eliminating forage species habitat.By removing the boat ramp and placing the oyster house on piling, the proposed project will provide a small net gain in forage species biological productivity. In order to conserve intertidal estuarine EFH and reduce potential effects on associated species, the proposed oyster house project would incorporate the following conservation me_ ads: • Project activities shall be limited to the removal of the existing concrete boat ramp,placing the restored oyster house on piling and reestablish 3300 square feet of intertidal and shallow subtidal habitat. • Work below the ordinary high water line shall not occur from February 14 through July 15 of any year for the protection of migrating juvenile salmonids. • Project activities below OHW/MHHW shall not occur when the project area,including the work corridor is inundated by tidal waters. • Use of equipment on the beach shall be held to a minimum, confined to a single access point, and limited to a 25-foot work corridor waterward of the existing boat ramp. • No stockpiling of material will occur below the ordinary high water line. • All trenches, depressions, or holes created in the beach area shall be backfilled prior to inundation by tidal waters.If trenches excavated for base rocks need to remain open during construction, fish shall be prevented from entering such trenches. • All waste material such as construction debris,silt,excess dirt or overburden resulting from this project shall be deposited above the limits of flood water in an approved upland disposal site. • All manmade debris on the beach shall be removed and disposed of upland such that it does not enter waters of the state. This includes the pre-existing pieces of concrete and rusty steel. 26 • Intertidal wetland vascular plants shall not be adversely impacted due to project activities (e.g., barge shall not ground, equipment shall not operate, and other activities shall not occur in intertidal wetland vascular plants). • Project activities shall be conducted to minimize siltation of the beach area and bed. The project shall not degrade water quality to the detriment of fish life. The combination of the proposed conservation measures detailed above and the temporary and localized effect of project activities reduces the effects on Essential Fish Habitat to the point that the effects will be insignificant and discountable,and thus the proposed oyster house project May Affect,but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect Essential Fish Habitat.

FORMAL APPEALS: WAC 220-660-470 is the rule describing how to request a formal appeal of WDFW actions taken under Chapter 77.55 RCW. Please refer to that rule for complete formal appeal procedures. The following information summarizes that rule. A person who is aggrieved by the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of an HPA may request a formal appeal of that action. You must send your request for a formal appeal to the clerk of the Pollution Control Hearings Boards and serve a copy on WDFW within 30 days from the date you receive notice of the decision. You may serve WDFW by mail to the HPA Appeals Coordinator, Department of Fish and Wildlife, Habitat Program, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, Washington 98501-1091; e-mail to HPAapplications@dfw.wa.gov; fax to(360) 902-2946; or hand-delivery to the Natural Resources Building, 1111 Washington St SE, Habitat Program, Fifth floor. The time period for requesting a formal appeal is suspended during consideration of a timely informal appeal. If there has been an informal appeal, you may request a formal appeal within 30 days from the date you receive the Director's or designee's written decision in response to the informal appeal. C. FAILURE TO APPEAL WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIME PERIODS: If there is no timely request for an appeal, the WDFW action shall be final and unappealable.

Figure 2 is a map of the tidal reference areas. (2) For marine/estuarine areas in the mouth of the Columbia River(Baker Bay)refer to Columbia River watercourse approved work windows in Table 2. (3) The work windows are given by tidal reference area and species. a. Bull trout: For Coastal/Puget Sound bull trout, refer to bull trout work window. b. Salmon: For Puget Sound chinook salmon,Hood Canal chum salmon,or Ozette Lake chinook salmon, refer to the"salmon"restriction for the appropriate Tidal Reference Area. c. Forage species: If forage fish are present in the project area,then the work window is for that species applies. (4) It is likely that several work windows may apply for a specific project. The work windows must be combined.The approved work window will be the common days between all approved work windows. For example, if the project is in Hammersley Inlet in Tidal Reference Area 1 and Pacific Sand Lance are present,the work windows would be: Salmon Work Window July 2—March 2 Bull Trout Work Window July 16—February 15 Pacific Sand Lance March 2—October 14 Taking the days that the approved work windows have in common,the time the project could be constructed is July 16—October 14. (5) For forage fish work windows that state "closed year round". Work may occur if the restriction is released for a short period of time(typically two weeks)after the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife(WDFW)Habitat Biologist has confirmed that not forage fish are spawning on the beach. (6) To determine whether your project lies within areas for work windows for"forage species," contact the Corps. (7) Work within two hundred feet landward of the State's ordinary high water line in waters of the U.S. listed as"submit application"or"closed"is not authorized by the Washington State 21 Department of Fish and Wildlife(WDFW). Site review and a specific written authorization (and State HPA)are required for these waters. (8) These"approved work windows"are based on best available information as of the date of the Services' concurrence with this informal consultation.They may be amended or deleted in the future as new information is obtained. The Corps will use the most current version of these windows when the authorizing projects for which conformance with the ESA is in part based on the windows in this programmatic consultation. 22 TABLE D-3: APPROVED WORK WINDOWS FOR ALL MARINE/ESTUARINE AREAS Excluding THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER(BAKER BAY) TIDAL REFERENCE AREA SALMON BULL TROUT FORAGE SPECIES WORK WINDOW WORK WINDOW WORK WINDOWS Tidal Reference Area 1 (Shelton): July 2—March 2 July 16—February 15 Surf Smelt ------ All saltwater areas in Oakland Bay and Pacific Herring April 1—January 14 Ilammersley inlet westerly of a line projected Pacific Sand Lance March 2—October 14 from Hungerford Point to Arcadia Tidal Reference Area 2(Olympia): July 2—March 2 July 16—February 15 Surf Smelt April 1 —June 30 All saltwater areas between a line projected Pacific Herring April 1 —January 14 from Hungerford Point to Arcadia and a line Pacific Sand Lance March 2—October 14 projected from Johnson Point to Devil's Head.

It is not an attempt to provide you with an official agency response as to the impacts of your project on fish and wildlife. This information only documents the location of fish and wildlife resources to the best of our knowledge. It is not a complete inventory and it is important to note that fish and wildlife resources may occur in areas not currently known to WDFW biologists,or in areas for which comprehensive surveys have not been conducted. Site specific surveys are frequently necesssary to rule out the presence of priority resources. Locations of fish and wildlife resources are subject to vraition caused by disturbance,changes in season and weather,and other factors.

Box 480 : ALLYN, WASHINGTON 98524 Phn: (360)275-0780 or Cell: (360)731-5683 July 20, 2017 Comments regarding the permit application to relocate the restored historic Sargent Oyster House to the Port of Allyn waterfront: 1) 1 am not against the relocating & restoration of the Sargent Oyster house to the Port of Allyn and creating a museum and education center. Although I think the Port's funds could be better spent elsewhere. 2) My issue with this project/permit is to the location this is planned to occur at. 3) The following are my concerns/ issues with the location. a) Within 100 feet of a public group "A" water source. County rules for wellhead protection areas are to create a 100 ft. radius sanitation zone around a wellhead. b) As I understand the project to this point, the placement of the museum is within this 100ft radius. See enclosed aerial map for locations and distances. c) Mason Count's 2017 Comprehensive Plan, which is currently being revised for 2017, has to following objective or goal on Page 4 third paragraph the land Use Element. See highlight enclosed page 4. d) The zoning of the area is public open space. How does this application support the Allyn UGA zoning title 17.10.600. See enclose two pages of zoning regulations for public open space. e) The Port of Allyn 10 to 12 years ago had a plan to take this area at the north end of the parking lot, to the west of the propose museum and to replant it with grass. This would help parking encroaching within sanitation zone around a wellhead and less impervious surface. 4) In summary, my thought is to move the museum to the north side of the existing wood dock. a) More foot traffic around the dock. b) Better access to utilities. c) Immediate adjacent access to a public road. d) Less parking conflicts with public & private events being held at the park. e) Probably less cost.

INTRODUCTION Washington State's Growth Management Act(RCW 36.70A) is a series of state statutes that were first adopted in 1990,that require growing cities and counties to develop a Comprehensive Plan that will help ensure municipal services and infrastructure are planned in a way that support projected population and housing growth while maintaining the quality of life Washington is known for. It is primarily codified under Chapter 36.70A RCW,although it has been amended and added to in several other parts of the RCW. The Land Use Element of a Comprehensive Plan is the central document required by the Growth Management Act that directs land use patterns and guides land use decisions within Mason County.This element provides the basis for the Housing, Parks, Transportation, Utility, Transportation, Economic Development, and Capital Facility Plans because it identifies the proposed distribution of land uses and addresses other concerns such as the protection of groundwater quality and quantity, drainage, flooding, and storm water run-off and potential mitigation measures. The Growth Management Act specifies: "A land use element designating the proposed general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of land, where appropriate, for agriculture, timber production, housing, commerce, industry, recreation, open spaces, general aviation airports, public utilities, public facilities, and other land uses. The land use element shall include population densities, building intensities, and estimates of future population growth. The land use element shall provide for protection of the quality and quantity of groundwater used for public water supplies. Wherever possible,the land use element should consider utilizing urban planning approaches that promote physical activity. Where applicable, the land use element shall review drainage, flooding, and storm water run-off in the area and nearby jurisdictions and provide guidance for corrective actions to mitigate or cleanse those discharges that pollute waters of the state, including Puget Sound or waters entering Puget Sound." The Land Use Element of Mason County's Comprehensive Plan identifies the existing land use conditions throughout Mason County, projects the land requirements to the year 2036 to meet projected population growth, and determines how that growth should be most cost effectively accommodated. It is organized into the following four sections: • INTRODUCTION: The Growth Management Act—the reason for the Land Use Element • POPULATION: The twenty(20)year projected population growth the County will accommodate • EXISTING LAND USE: The buildable lands analysis and existing zoning and demographics for the Urban Growth Areas and Rural Mason County • FUTURE LAND USE PLAN: The population growth distribution throughout the County and plan for protection of critical areas, natural resource lands, historic and cultural resources, and more. Appendix A contains a series of maps referenced throughout the Comprehensive Plan.

Date: 7/27/2017 12:24 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: Public Hearing for North Bay Historical Society and the Port of Allyn Good afternoon Kell, Thank you for your email. I appreciate you sharing Mr. Carey's email and concern. I know that Mr. Carey is an active and valuable member of the Allyn community. I did a little research into the well setback issue. The wellhead buffer is meant to prevent pollution to the well from prohibited uses and activities (MCC 8.52.120.3)or require an environmental permit for activities that may generate pollutants (MCC 8.5.120.4). Our proposed uses and activities do not fall under either category. I called the Mason County Department of Health and left a message for their well specialist. I also called the Washington Department of Health. I spoke to a Corina Hyes (360-236-3114). She stated that the final decision is the responsibility of the county, but did supply some useful information. I explained the project and the Port of Allyn's well. The well is approximately 150 feet deep and taps into a confined aquifer. I also described the current uses within the 100 foot wellhead buffer. Most of the 100 foot wellhead buffer is disturbed by current or previous land use. Ms. Hyes said she had little concern for the project because it is down gradient from the wellhead, the museum will be over saltwater and there will be no storage of potential pollutants. Basically, our project will not generate or use any potential pollutant or have a way for a potential pollutant to enter the well. As always, thanks for your assistance with this project, Bill On Thursday, July 27, 2017 9:43 AM, Kell Rowen <krowen@co.mason.wa.us>wrote: Hi Bill, I am just starting on my staff report this morning. It is due tomorrow COB. I received these comments and attachments from a local resident. Although the Special Use Permit question raised is not valid (the use is allowed outright under the zoning, and the "overlay" zone does not apply), there is the question about the 100 foot well protection area. See the attached map. Let me know if this is something you're already aware of or if I need to contact the DOH regional engineer for Group A water systems to determine what sort of mitigation will be required. Also, since I tend to do everything last minute...are you around today and/or tomorrow if I have additional questions in my review? THANKS!!

Call to Order: Roll Call-The meeting was called to order at 2:00 pm and roll call was conducted. Review and approve minutes from May 14"Meeting-Mr. Calvin asked for a minor change attributed to him on page 4 regarding the Heritage Grant cycle. No other corrections were made. Mr. Corliss made a motion to accept the minutes as amended. Motion seconded by Ms Harrell,motion carries. Correspondence-Mr. MacSems reported that the Mason County Historical Society newsletter as well as the Washington Historic Historical Society magazine Columbia. A letter was also received from Chris Moore,Executive Director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation supporting the addition of the Sargent Oyster House to Mason County Historic Registry.He also received a phone call from Ed Huber asking about becoming a member of the HPC. II. New Business Announcements-None Sargent Oyster House Historic Registry Public Hearing-At 2:05 PM,Mr. Calvin suspended the MCHPC meeting and opened the public hearing. He explained the format of the hearing and criteria to those present. Judy Scott, a commissioner from the Port of Allyn began by presenting a 7 minute YouTube video titled Opening up Sargent's Oyster House. After the video, Ms Scott discussed the history of how the Oyster House was saved from demolition and sold to the Port of Allyn. She also addressed the historical importance of the structure to the North Bay area. She went on to say that moving the structure to its temporary location cost the Department of Fish and Wildlife,and the Salmon Enhancement Group$65,000. Ms Scott added that there is a hope to place the house back over the water once restoration is done, ideally within the next 3 years. She finished her presentation by adding that the community is in support of the restoration and believes that adding the Sargent Oyster House to the historical registry would bring more attention to it. This attention could, in turn,help their fund raising attempts. Bonnie Knight, President of the North Bay Historical Society, spoke about the journey of the oyster house, and how it was originally supposed to be destroyed. She discussed the concern of the house sitting on a temporary spot versus its final location saying it should be not be an issue for the registry. Ms Knight talked about the fund raising and said that there are various grants and donors showing interest. She added that the total amount to restore the house is close to a half million dollars. Adding the structure to the Mason County Historic Registry, she believes,will assist in getting these grants approved.Ms Knight presented some handout materials for the commission,including a copy of the Memorandum of Agreement Among the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, The Washington State Historic :reservation Officer,South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group,Washington Dept. of Fish&Wildlife, and The Port of Allyn. She also presented a petition signed by local residents in favor of adding the oyster house to the County Historic Registry. A letter was also received from Chris Moore, Executive Director of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation supporting the listing. At this time there was no other public comment and Mr. Calvin read the potential applicable citations from the Criteria for Determining Designation in the Register from Mason County Code 17.40.050 which states: Criteria for Determining Designation in the Register.Any building, structure, site, object, or district may be designated for inclusion in the Mason County historic register if it is significantly associated with the history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or cultural heritage of the community; if it has integrity;is at least fifty years old, or is of lesser age and has exceptional importance; and if it falls in at least two of the following categories:... Ms Neil stated that she believes the oyster house does fall within the required categories. Mr. Calvin reiterated that within the requirements, the structure must fall within two categories. Currently the oyster house looks to fall in to three. Mr. Calvin and Greg Griffith from the Washington State Department of Archaeology& Historic Preservation(DAHP)discussed the details of the house, and Mr. Calvin asked if the non-permanent location is a hindrance to the possibility of adding the house to the historic register. Mr. Griffith said that the structure would not be considered at temporary location by an organization such as DAHP,but would be considered once it was placed at its permanent spot. He added that the relocation issue should not be the ending topic,but that it does need to be looked at. Mr.Griffith stated that the house has great historical value to the area and that it is important to remember that. Mr. MacSems said he received a letter from Chris Moore at the Washington State Trust for Historic Preservation in favor of adding the oyster house to the historic register. Ms Knight also gave him a petition with community signatures in favor of the addition of the Sargent Oyster House to the Historic Registry. Ms.Neil made a motion to recommend to the Mason County Board of Commissioners that the Sargent Oyster House be added to the Mason County Historic Register as a building based on the following criteria within the code: • (1)Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of national, state or local history; • (2)Embodies the distinctive architectural characteristics of a type,period, style, or method of design or construction,or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; • (4)Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the Mason County's cultural, special, economic,political,aesthetic,engineering or architectural history; Motion seconded by Mr. Rose. All in favor,motion is carried unanimously. At 3:12 PM Mr. Calvin closed the Sargent Oyster House Historic Registry Public Hearing and reopened the MCHPC meeting. W Anniversary debriefing-The members felt that all went well despite the low attendance. Cultural Resources Debriefing-Mr.Rose commented that it was his first time at the summit,and he learned a lot.Mr. Calvin said he thought it was a great seminar and that he was able to take a lot away from it. He stated that the seminar actually gave him an idea to reach out to other historical societies in the area to perhaps get together for a round table discussion. The other members agreed that would be a good idea for the future. 2016 Budget Discussion/Financial Statement-Mr. MacSems passed out the current financial statement and discussed the fact that the County does their budget in July. The commission then discussed the budget for the end of 2015. It was agreed that for 2016 the HPC needs to be more conservative. The following budget was recommended: • Anticipated income-$16,000 Anticipated Expenses: • Heritage Grant-$20,000 • Historic Surveys-$2,000 • Advertising-$1,000 • Postage- $100 • Travel-$500 • Miscellaneous-$2,000 • Printing-$500 • Registration-$1,500 • DCD Staff Time-$10,000 • City of Shelton Revenue Share-$2,000 Grand total=$39,600 Mr. Carter made a motion to forward the proposed budget for 2016 to Kathy Chaussee to present to Barbara Adkins,Director of DCD, to add to her budget to present to the County Commissioners. Motion seconded by Ms. Harrell,motion passed. Other-Mr. Corliss presented a receipt to be reimbursed for$10.86 for a poster. Mr. Rose made a motion to reimburse Mr. Corliss for$10.86. Motion seconded by Mr. Bariekman, motion passed. Old Business Allyn Days Preparation-Mr. Rose said everything is ready. The fee has already been paid,the spot is reserved, and they just need to go set up when the time comes. Summer 2015 Heritage Grant Update-Mr. MacSems reported there were no updates and that there is currently one application. Ms Neil asked when the due date for applications was and Mr. MacSems advised it is June 30, 2015. Matlock Historical Survey Update and Invoice Approval-Ms Neil passed out updated copies of the survey along with some maps and tables with some site information. After a discussion about the hand outs,Ms Neil said that though she's disappointed they don't have an official draft in hand,she is very happy with the data she has been given thus far and is excited to see the final product. Mr. Bariekman asked if there had been any explanation as to why no draft was done. Ms Neil said she received an e-mail on June 2nd saying that they are currently reorganizing the formatting. The deadline for the entire project is July 31, 2015. She said that she will let SWCA know that the HPC is concerned that there is sufficient time to advertise for the final public meeting. Mr. Calvin said he would be happy to put out fliers in and around Matlock to have more attendance. Mr. Corliss said he would be out in Matlock at the beginning of July and also offered to post notification. Ms Neil presented the current invoice for$7,262.40.Mr. MacSems asked how much would be remaining after this billing. Ms Neil said there is only about$1,000.00 remaining. Ms Neil made a motion to pay the invoice in the amount of$7262.40. Motion seconded by Ms Harrell,motion passed. Mr.MacSems noted,and the commission concurred,that given the small balance of the contract amount,that this would be the last advance payment. Website Update-The members showed concern with the dark background on the MCHPC website. They stated that because of the dark lettering on the background it was very difficult to read. Mr. Bariekman said that was an easy fix. The members voiced appreciation to Mr. Bariekman for the updated photos in the "Meet the Members" section of the website. This started a conversation about revising Mr. Bariekman's work to include the two ex officio member from the local tribes. Mr. Calvin suggested having Mr. MacSems contact them on behalf of the HPC to see how they would like to be included in the Meet the Members section. . Mr. Bariekman said they could either submit a photo,or he could go to them and take the photo. Mr. MacSems added that other solution may be possible if the ex officio members prefer not to use photos. Comprehensive Plan Update-The next Planning Advisory Commission meeting to discuss the Comprehensive Plan Update is scheduled for July 6. Mr. Calvin said he could be present. Other-Mr. Calvin presented a draft of the thank you letter for Kathy Chaussee.After reading it,the HPC did suggest one minor edit. The members agreed it would be best to send the letter to Barbara Adkins instead of to Ms Chaussee directly. III. Other Commission Discussion Financial Statement-Moved up to 2016 Budget Discussion IV. Next Meeting Date July 9, 2015 V. Adiournment At 4:36 PM Mr. Bariekman made a motion to adjourn.

If this is a General HPA you must use the Major Modification process described below. Any approved minor modification will require issuance of a letter documenting the approval. A minor modification to the required work timing means any change to the work start or end dates of the current work season to enable project or work phase completion. Minor modifications will be approved only if spawning or incubating fish are not present within the vicinity of the project. You may request subsequent minor modifications to the required work timing. A minor modification of the plans and specifications means any changes in the materials, characteristics or construction of your project that does not alter the project's impact to fish life or habitat and does not require a change in the provisions of the HPA to mitigate the impacts of the modification. Minor modifications do not require you to pay additional application fees or be issued a new HPA. If you originally applied for your HPA through the online Aquatic Protection Permitting System (APPS), you may request a minor modification through APPS. A link to APPS is at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/hpa/. If you did not use APPS you must submit a written request that clearly indicates you are seeking a minor modification to an existing HPA. Written requests must include the name of the applicant, the name of the authorized agent if one is acting for the applicant, the APP ID number of the HPA, the date issued, the permitting biologist, the requested changes to the HPA, the reason for the requested change, the date of the request, and the requestor's signature.

You should allow up to 45 days for the department to process your request. MAJOR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS HPA: You may request approval of major modifications to any aspect of your HPA. Any approved change other than a minor modification to your HPA will require issuance of a new HPA. If you paid an application fee for your original HPA you must pay an additional $150 for the major modification. If you did not pay an application fee for the original HPA, no fee is required for a change to it. If you originally applied for your HPA through the online Aquatic Protection Permitting System (APPS), you may request a major modification through APPS. A link to APPS is at http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/hpa/. If you did not use APPS you must submit a written request that clearly indicates you are requesting a major modification to an existing HPA. Written requests must include the name of the applicant, the name of the authorized agent if one is acting for the applicant, the APP ID number of the HPA, the date issued, the permitting biologist, the requested changes to the HPA, the reason for the requested change, the date of the request, payment if the original application was subject to an application fee, and the requestor's signature.

APPEALS INFORMATION If you wish to appeal the issuance, denial, conditioning, or modification of a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) recommends that you first contact the department employee who issued or denied the HPA to discuss your concerns. Such a discussion may resolve your concerns without the need for further appeal action. If you proceed with an appeal, you may request an informal or formal appeal. WDFW encourages you to take advantage of the informal appeal process before initiating a formal appeal. The informal appeal process includes a review by department management of the HPA or denial and often resolves issues faster and with less legal complexity than the formal appeal process. If the informal appeal process does not resolve your concerns, you may advance your appeal to the formal process. You may contact the HPA Appeals Coordinator at (360) 902-2534 for more information.
