This decision was made after review of a completed Environmental Checklist and other information on file with the Lead Agency. This information is available to the public upon request. Please contact the planner at 360-427-9670 x352 with any questions. This DNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2). The Lead Agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days from the date shown below, when the determination is final. Comments must be submitted to the Dept. of Community Development, 615 W Alder St, Shelton WA 98584 by: 05/06/2022 Appeal of this determination must be filed with a 14-day period following this final determination date, per Mason County Code Chapter 15.11 Appeals. e Authorized Local Government Official Date MITIGATING MEASURES: 1 Residential development should provide adequate common access to the shoreline and open space along the shoreline for all residents of the development. The access and open space should be of adequate size to provide for recreation land to ensure against interference with adjacent properties. 2 Proposed residential developments adjacent to a water body supporting aquaculture operatoins shall install drainage and storm water treatment measures facilities to prevent any adverse impact to aquaculture operations. Such measures shall include but not be restricted to vegetated swales, retention ponds and use of artificial or natural wetlands PROVIDED no adverse impacts to the receiving wetlands would occur. Measures utilized shall be subject to Mason County Approval. 3 The pier, ramp, float, and associated moorings shall be located to avoid shading of eelgrass and other aquatic vegetation. 4 Archaeological or historical resources, such as ruins, sites, buildings, artifacts, fossils, or other objects of antiquity that may have significance from an historical or scientific standpoint, which may be encountered by the developer/contractor, shall not be further disturbed. If the developer/contractor encounters any such artifacts, he/she shall immediately stop work and notify Mason County and the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Failure to do so may result in civil penalties. 5 Debris or deleterious material resulting from construction shall be removed from the beach area and project site and shall not be allowed to enter waters of the State. 6 Residential development is prohibited within a floodway. 7 Only one dock or pier is permitted in a new subdivision, planned unit development, or short plat, when lot frontages on the shoreline do not exceed an average of 150 feet. Prior to short plat approval, a usable area with access shall be set aside for the pier or dock, and designated on the face of the short plat unless no suitable area exists. 8 Residential developers and individuals shall be required to control erosion during construction. Removal of vegetation should be minimized and any areas disturbed should be restored to prevent erosion and other environmental impacts. 9 Emergency vehicle apparatus access roads shall conform with the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code and Mason County Title 16. If the access road cannot conform, special conditions will be placed on any building permit issued on property that is served by a non-conforming access road. Contact the Mason County Fire Marshal for details. 10 A Hydraulic Project Approval from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife shall be obtained prior to work on the banks of or within the waters of the State. 11 All floating structures shall include intermittent supports which run parallel to the shoreline to keep structures off the tidelands at low tide. 12 Landfill for residential development which results in the creation of new dry land waterward of OHWM or in biological wetlands is prohibited. 13 Recreational piers shall be no higher than 11 feet above mean higher high water. Piers and docks shall have at least an eight foot span between pilings. 14 Residential development on shorelines and wetlands should be planned with minimum adverse environmental and visual impact. Structures should be and located to not significantly block views of adjacent residences. 15 Subdivision developments and planned unit developments shall provide areas sufficient to ensure usable access to and along the shoreline area for all residents of the development except where the shoreline topography does not permit the same.

Alder Street 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. A. BACKGROUND 1.
