D wPort Of Allyn C 1 114 VT hider Street Port of Allyn Port Commissioners: SEPA Determination Findings Report Jean Farmer Project Name: Sargent Oyster Building Restoration and Relocation Project Judy Scott Date: March 14, 2016 Scott Cooper Proponent: North Bay Historical Society Lary Coppola Executive Director Project location: The project is proposed is located at 18560 E. State Route 3, Allyn, WA 98524. The tax parcel is 12220-50-08001. The site is located in Section 20, Township 22 North, Range 1 West W.M. Mason County, Washington. 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. 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. 18560 E State Route 3 Permits required: The following permits/approvals will be required for this project: PO Box 1 Building Permit— Mason County Allyn,WA 98524 Shoreline Substantial Development Permit— Mason County Hydraulic Project Approval —Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife 360-275-2430 Section 10 (Rivers and Harbors Act) — US Army Corps of Engineers info@portofallyn.com SEPA Findings: www.p6rtofallyn.com Air: During the project, there will be a temporary increase in air emissions associated with ® construction equipment. 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: hj elpl 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 D). 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 lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements—that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. Background thel 1.

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.
