Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the mitigated determination of nonsignifica.ncc for a grading project to provide access to an existing office includes clearing, grading,drainage and paving, excavation of 225 cubic yards and importing;3,750 for phase 11, on 1.52 acres (Case No, SEP99-01.50) located on the Fast Side of SR-3 in Belf'air, .3 mile south of the intersection with SR-300 at the intersection with Canal Heights Drive as proposed by Lester Krueger. We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comments: The Highway 3 ditch is considered "Waters of the State". Any discharge of pollutants would be in violation of Chapter 90,48,Water Pollution Control,and WAC 173-201A,Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action. Erosion and sediment control is it key to preserving habitat and preventing denudation of a developing;arc t. The following;practices are recommended: a. Soil in stockpiles should be stabilized or protected with sediment trapping measures to prevent soil loss. All exposed areas at final grade, or areas that are not scheduled for work for more than 30 days should be stabilized within 10 days during the period from April 1 to October 31 or immediately during the period running from November 1 to March 31. b. Clearing; limits and/or any casements or required baffers shotild be staked and!lagged in the field_ c. Provision should be made to minimize the tracking of sediment by construction vehicles onto paved public roads. lfsedimcnt is deposited, it should be cleaned every day by shoveling or sweeping, Water cleaning;should only be done after the area has been shoveled out or swept. d. Paint and wall finishing equipment wash water should be disposed of in a way, which will not zdvorsely impact the water quality of the state. e. Source control best management practices such as plastic covering, mulch,temporary seeding, and phased clearing should be used to control erosion during;construction- Oil/water separators should, at a minimum,be designed,operated, and maintained in accordance with Ecology's "Stormwater Management:Manual for the Puget Sound Basin" February 1992. This includes routine inspection and maintenance of the separator,nd establishing a written log of such activity. Discharge from all oil/water separator should not exceed the state guidelines established for discharges containing;oil and grease of mineral origin. OOT-20-99 WED 09:58 AM SWRO FAX NO. 3604076305 P. 02/02 W. Randy Neff October 20, 1999 Page 2 Routine inspection and maintenance of all sediment vid erosion control devices is recommended both during and after development of the site. Dumpsters and rcfusQ collection containers must be leak free with close fitting covers. The drainage for refiise containers and dumpster areas adjacent to or over the water trust be connected to the sanitary sewer or otherwise designed to prevent leachate from being discharged to surface waters. The owner must ensure that any prospective commercial or industrial tenant of a facility served by an on-site septic tank and drainficld system has obtained till necessary approvals acid permits from the Dcpartment of Ecology or the local health departinent before assurances of occupancy or permission to modify the terms of occupancy can be given. The on-site sewage system and reserve system must be installed at least 100 feet from surface waters. 1f you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments, please call Ms. Kerry Carroll (Water Quality)at(360) 407-6294 or with any other questions regarding this proposal Ms. Kari Rokstad(SEPA Coordinator)at(360)407-6787. � 'nccrely, Abbe White SWRO Administration AW: (99-6648) cc: Kerry Carroll, SWRO/WQ Kari Rokstad, SWRO/SEA SEP99-0150 MASON COUNTY TAI DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Planning-Landfill-Utilities MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (WAC 197-11-350) Description of Proposal : Grading project to provide access to existing office, this project also includes clearing, grading, drainage and paving.

The west property line buffer is 20 foot buffer and the north line buffer is 10 foot with a wood stockade fence 296 feet long and 8 foot high. The proposed use for the parcel to the south of this site has been identified as commercial TypelV per Ordinance # 82-96. If there is any changes of uses on this site or to the parcel to the South of the road then the buffers on this site will need to be adjusted to meet the Mason County Development Regulations (Ord.# 82-96). 2) MITIGATED CONDITION #2: All future development of the proposed site will be subject to the conditions that are listed. However, this does not exempt future proposals from further review through the SEPA process. 3) MITIGATED CONDITION #3: A Stormwater Site Plan (SSP) will be created and implemented for this site.

This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. 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. 1 A.
