1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Envirotech Engineering (Envirotech) has completed this drainage report in conjunction with the
stormwater management plan for logging that has already occurred, and a planned single family
residence located at 420 E Greenview Ln, identified as parcel number 32134-41-00020, Mason
County,Washington. See the Vicinity Map below for a general indication of the Project location.
Information pertaining to the development of this project was provided by the proponent of the
property. The property has already been logged, and the proposed development includes a Single
Family Residence, driveway, on-site septic system, and associated stormwater management
facilities.
It is anticipated that the access road/ driveways will encompass approximately 1194 sf in size,
and structures will encompass 2916 sq. ft. in size, for a total of 4110 sf. ft. of impervious area.
The total land area that has been disturbed as a result of past clearing is approximately 0.96 acres.
Cut and fill quantities were approximated to be 10 cubic yards (cy) and 10 cy, respectively. See
the accompanying stormwater management plans for an illustration of current and proposed site
features.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The property is accessed from Greenview Lane,an existing dirt/gravel roadway in unincorporated
Mason County. Greenview lane bisects the property, and it is assumed that an access easement is
located within the area of the roadway. The Project is currently undeveloped, with clearing on-
site. Vegetation is typical of the Pacific Northwest.
2.1 "Topography
The topographic information provided in this section was extrapolated from a public lidar source,
and incorporated observations and field measurements. Where necessary, slope verification
included measuring slope lengths and inclinations with a cloth tape and inclinometer. See the Site
Plan in Appendix A in this report for an illustration of general topography with respect to the
planned development.
Critical descending slopes, with grades exceeding 40% appear to be within 300 feet of the
planned development. The maximum critical slope is approximately 80% with a vertical relief of
about 40 feet.
Ascending grades are generally located to the southeast of the planned development. These slopes
are relatively minor within 300 feet of the project, with no apparent slope grades of at least 15%.
2.2 Surface Drainage
Runoff originating upslope of the development is mostly diverted away from the property by
accommodating topography. Excessive scour, erosion or other indications of past drainage
problems were not observed within the immediate vicinity of the planned development
2.3 Subsurface Conditions
Information on infiltration rates and soil conditions pertaining to the Project was accomplished by
Envirotech. Selected information pertaining to the drainage aspect of the project is provided
below.
The following subsurface conditions are estimated descriptions of the Project subgrade utilizing
information from the depth of penetration at all testing, sampling, observed and investigated
locations. Soils for this project were described utilizing the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS). Using the USCS in conjunction with estimated relative densities and other anticipated
engineering properties of the soil, susceptibility for potential landslides, erosion and seismic
hazards may be assessed.
2.3.1 Subsurface Conditions
The project is currently composed of native soils without indications of fill. Within test
pit locations,soils within the upper 4 feet of natural ground were generally observed to be
moist,brown silty sand with gravel(SM).
According to the "Soil Survey of Mason County," by the United States Department of
Envirotech Engineering Drainage Report
PO Box 984 page 2 Parcel 32134-41-00020
Belfair,Washington 98528 Mason County,Washington
Ph. 360-275-9374 October 17,2023
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, the site soils are described as Alderwood gravelly
sandy loam, Ab, with 8% to 15% slopes, and Lystair sandy loam, Le, with 5% to 15%
slopes.
Based on the fines content,erodibility of the site soils is considered to be medium. Based
on the fines content and fraction of clay within the fines content, settleability of the site
soils is expected to be fast. Permeability is expected to be moderate for this site due
significance of moderate density, and fine-grained soils.
2.3.2 Groundwater
From the water well report(s) and knowledge of the general area, permanent groundwater
is at least 50 feet directly below the property at the building pad location. Surface seepage
or perched groundwater at shallow depths was not observed on-site, nor indicated on the
well reports.

3.0 HYDROLOGIC/HYDRAULIC INFORMATION
3.1 Developed Site Drainage Conditions
It is anticipated that the access road/ driveways will encompass approximately 1194 sf in size,
and structures will encompass 2916 sq. ft. in size, for a total of 4110 sf. ft. of impervious area.
The total land area that is anticipated to be disturbed as a result of past clearing is approximately
0.96 acres. Cut and fill quantities were approximated to be 10 cubic yards (cy) and 10 cy,
respectively. Best Management Practices (BMPs)for this project includes infiltration trenches,V-
ditches,and vegetated filter strips.Natural drainage patterns are to be maintained to the maximum
extents practicable.
3.2 Downstream Analysis
This project has been analyzed as a Level 1 Downstream Drainage Analysis in accordance with
the prevailing Western Washington Stormwater Drainage Manual.
3.2.1 Tributary Drainage Area
The upslope watershed is relatively small,and has low to slightly sloping grades.
Stormwater entering the site appears to be negligible.
3.2.2 Downstream Discharge
The natural drainage from the property is directed to the north end of the property. The
water travels by sheet flow to Cranberry Creek, located approximately 450 feet to the
north. Cranberry creek eventually drains into Oakland bay.
3.2.3 Downstream Erosion and Water Quality
FEMA mapping, and other documentation do not reveal flooding or erosion hazards on
the property.
Water quality within the project watershed is not known to have major issues. Ordinary
pollution caused by residences and roadways are pollution contributors in the area.
Off-site mitigation is not deemed necessary for this Project. This is based on the scale of
the proposed Project, and on-site mitigation design.
3.2.4 Downstream Conclusions
The project will increase pollution generating surfaces by 4110 sf. Existing mild sloping
green areas appear to have sufficient vegetation and pollution removal qualities for the
pollution generating surfaces.
The proposed drainage design encourages sheet flow dispersal for the runoff. It is our
opinion that with proper maintenance and care of the proposed drainage facility, the
proposed development will not constitute measurable runoff to offsite properties.

3.3 Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis/Design
The Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SMMWW) was used to calculate
all stormwater management facilities.
3.4 Roof Downspout Infiltration
Based on the governing storm water manual, the runoff from 2916 sf of impervious area shall be
directed to a standard 8 feet wide infiltration trench at 52 feet in length.
3.5 Filter Strip
It has been determined that a narrow area vegetative filter strip is the proposed BMP for this site.
A Narrow Area Vegetative Filter Strip (VFS) is a BMP's that uses areas of dense planted
vegetation(typically grass)and a flat cross slope to maintain sheet flow and remove sediment and
other pollutants from runoff coming directly off pavements or other pollution generating surface.
VFS is designed to treat an area of 1194 sf. Flow will enter as sheet flow and will not exceed a
depth of I". The proposed narrow area VFS has a contributing flow path of 10 feet to the east of
the driveway, and 10 feet to the south of the driveway. The longitudinal slope of the driveway
contributing drainage area will be graded at no more than 5%. The lateral slope of the
contributing drainage area perpendicular to the driveway edge will be graded at 2%or less.
According to LID Design Guidance the design procedure is based on the Narrow Area Filter
Strips presented in the 2012 Western Washington Stowmwater Design Manual. The filter strip is
sized using the width of the flow-path and the longitudinal slope of the filter strip itself(parallel
to the flow-path). Since filter strips only provide basic treatment, they should be used where the
roadway ADT is less than 30,000 sf(in our project 1194 sf of total driveway area).

5.0 CONTROL OF POLLUTANTS OTHER THAN SEDIMENTS
Upon completion of this project and future development of the lot, this project is expected to
render no more than 10 trips per day of traffic. Potential source of pollutants may occur from
spills, leaks, excessive usage, ordinary usage, or vandalism of several pollutants including the
following:
• Fuel
• Oil
• Solvent
• Degreaser
• Dust
• Pesticide
• Herbacide
• Fertilizer
• Other Chemicals
The aforementioned pollutants are not expected to be currently on-site.The potential sources may
be released into the stormwater due to development of the facilities, and/or future use of the
facilities.
Control of pollutants other than sediments include the following:
• All pollutants other than sediments shall be handled and disposed of in a manner
that does not cause contamination of stormwater.
• Cover, containment and protection from vandalism shall be provided for all
chemicals, liquid products, petroleum products, and non-inert wastes present on the
project site.
• Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles involving oil changes,
hydraulic system drain down, solvent and de-greasing cleaning operations, fuel tank
drain down and removal, and other activities which may result in discharge or
spillage of pollutants to the ground or into stormwater runoff must be conducted
using spill prevention measures, such as drip pans. Contaminated surfaces shall be
cleaned immediately following any discharge or spill incident. Emergency repairs
may be performed on-site using temporary plastic placed beneath and,if raining,over
the vehicle.
• Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater shall be discharged to a separate on-site
treatment system or to the sanitary sewer, if available.
• Application of agricultural chemicals including fertilizers and pesticides shall be
conducted in a manner,and at application rates that will not result in loss of chemical
to stormwater runoff. Manufacturers' recommendations for application rates and
procedures shall be followed.
See the Best Management Practices for this development that should be adhered to after
construction is complete.

APPENDIX B
POLLUTION SOURCE BMP
BMPs for Description of Pollutant Sources: Landscaping can include grading, soil
Landscaping transfer, vegetation removal, pesticide and fertilizer applications, and
and Lawn( watering. Stormwater contaminants include toxic organic compounds,
Vegetation heavy metals,oils, total suspended solids,coliform bacteria, fertilizers, and
Management pesticides.
Lawn and vegetation management can include control of objectionable
weeds, insects, mold, bacteria and other pests with chemical pesticides and
is conducted commercially at commercial, industrial, and residential sites.
Examples include weed control on golf course lawns,access roads, and
utility corridors and during landscaping. sap stain and insect control on
lumber and logs, rooftop moss removal, killing nuisance rodents;
fungicide application to patio decks,and residential lawn,'plant care.
Toxic pesticides such as pentachlorophenol,carbamates, and
organometallics can be released to the environment by leaching and
dripping from treated parts,container leaks, product misuse, and outside
storage of pesticide contaminated materials and equipment. Poor
management of the vegetation and poor application of pesticides or
fertilizers can cause appreciable stormwater contamination.
Pollutant Control Approach: Control of fertilizer and pesticide
applications, soil erosion, and site debris to prevent contamination of
stormwater.
Develop and implement an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM)and
use pesticides only as a last resort. If pesticides/herbicides are used they
must be carefully applied in accordance with label instructions on U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)registered materials. Maintain
appropriate vegetation,with proper fertilizer application where
practicable,to control erosion and the discharge of stormwater pollutants.
Where practicable grow plant species appropriate for the site, or adjust the
soil properties of the subject site to grow desired plant species.
Applicable Operational BMPs for Landscaping:
• Install engineered soil/landscape systems to improve the infiltration
and regulation of stormwater in landscaped areas.
• Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or storm
drainage systems.
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs for Landscaping:
• Conduct mulch-mowing whenever practicable
• Dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks,or other collected vegetation,
by composting, if feasible.
• Use mulch or other erosion control measures when soils are exposed
for more than one week during the dry season or two days during the
rainy season.
• If oil or other chemicals are handled, store and maintain appropriate oil
and chemical spill cleanup materials in readily accessible locations.
Ensure that employees are familiar with proper spill cleanup
procedures.
• Till fertilizers into the soil rather than dumping or broadcasting onto
the surface. Determine the proper fertilizer application for the types of
soil and vegetation encountered.
• Till a topsoil mix or composted organic material into the soil to create
a well-mixed transition layer that encourages deeper root systems and
drought-resistant plants.
• Use manual and,,or mechanical methods of vegetation removal rather
than applying herbicides, where practical.
Applicable Operational BMPs for the Use of Pesticides:
• Develop and implement an IPM(See section on IPM at end of BMP)
and use pesticides only as a last resort.
• Implement a pesticide-use plan and include at a minimum: a list of
selected pesticides and their specific uses, brands, formulations,
application methods and quantities to be used, equipment use and
maintenance procedures; safety,storage, and disposal methods, and
monitoring,record keeping, and public notice procedures. All
procedures shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 17.21 RCW
and Chapter 16-228 WAC(Appendix IV-D R.7).
• Choose the least toxic pesticide available that is capable of reducing
the infestation to acceptable levels. The pesticide should readily
degrade in the environment and/or have properties that strongly bind it
to the soil. Any pest control used should be conducted at the life stage
when the pest is most vulnerable. For example, if it is necessary to use
a Bacillus thuringiens is application to control tent caterpillars, it must
be applied before the caterpillars cocoon or it will be ineffective. Any
method used should be site-specific and not used.wholesale over a
wide area.
• Apply the pesticide according to label directions. Under no conditions
shall pesticides be applied in quantities that exceed manufacturer's
instructions.
• Mix the pesticides and clean the application equipment in an area
where accidental spills will not enter surface or ground waters,and
will not contaminate the soil.
• Store pesticides in enclosed areas or in covered impervious
containment. Ensure that pesticide contaminated stormwater or
spills'leaks of pesticides are not discharged to storm drains. Do not
hose down the paved areas to a storm drain or conveyance ditch. Store
and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to
all near the storage area.
• Clean up any spilled pesticides and ensure that the pesticide
contaminated waste materials are kept in designated covered and
contained areas.
• The pesticide application equipment must be capable of immediate
shutoff in the event of an emergency.
• Do not spray pesticides within 100 feet of open waters including
wetlands, ponds, and streams, sloughs and any drainage ditch or
channel that leads to open water except when approved by Ecology or
the local jurisdiction. All sensitive areas including wells,creeks and
wetlands must be flagged prior to spraying.
• As required by the local government or by Ecology, complete public
posting of the area to be sprayed prior to the application.
• Spray applications should only be conducted during weather
conditions as specified in the label direction and applicable local and
state regulations. Do not apply during rain or immediately before
expected rain.
Recommended additional Operational BMPs for the use of pesticides:
• Consider alternatives to the use of pesticides such as covering or
harvesting weeds, substitute vegetative growth,and manual weed
controUmoss removal.
• Consider the use of soil amendments,such as compost, that are known
to control some common diseases in plants, such as Pythium root rot,
ashy stem blight, and parasitic nematodes. The following are three
possible mechanisms for disease control by compost addition(USEPA
Publication 530-F-9-044):
1. Successful competition for nutrients by antibiotic production;
2. Successful predation against pathogens by beneficial
microorganism. and
3. Activation of disease-resistant genes in plants by composts.
Installing an amended soililandscape system can preserve both the plant
system and the soil system more effectively. This npe of approach
provides a soil/landscape system with adequate depth. permeability. and
organic matter to sustain itself and continue working as an effective
stormwater infiltration system and a sustainable nutrient cycle.
• Once a pesticide is applied, its effectiveness should be evaluated for
possible improvement. Records should be kept showing the
applicability and inapplicability of the pesticides considered.
• An annual evaluation procedure should be developed including a
review of the effectiveness of pesticide applications, impact on buffers
and sensitive areas(including potable wells), public concerns, and
recent toxicological information on pesticides used/proposed for use.
If individual or public potable wells are located in the proximity of
commercial pesticide applications contact the regional Ecology
hydrogeologist to determine if additional pesticide application control
measures are necessary.
• Rinseate from equipment cleaning and/or triple-rinsing of pesticide
containers should be used as product or recycled into product.
• The application equipment used should be capable of immediate
shutoff in the event of an emergency.
For more information. contact the W SU Extension Nome-Assist Program.
(253) 445-4556, or Bio-Integral Resource Center(BIRC). P.O. Box 7414,
Berkelev, CA.94 70 7. or the Washington Department of Ec•olok,to obtain
"Hazardous Waste Pesticides"(Publication 489-41):and/or EP.9 to
obtain a publication entitled "Suspended, Canceled and Restricted
Pesticides-irhich lists all restricted pesticides and the specific uses that
are allowed. Valuable information from these sources may also be
available on the internet.
Applicable Operational BMPs for Vegetation Management:
• Use at least an eight-inch "topsoil" layer with at least 8 percent organic
matter to provide a sufficient vegetation-growing medium. Amending
existing landscapes and turf systems by increasing the percent organic
matter and depth of topsoil can substantially improve the permeability
of the soil, the disease and drought resistance of the vegetation, and
reduce fertilizer demand. This reduces the demand for fertilizers,
herbicides, and pesticides. Organic matter is the least water-soluble
form of nutrients that can be added to the soil. Composted organic
matter generally releases only between 2 and 10 percent of its total
nitrogen annually,and this release corresponds closely to the plant
growth cycle. If natural plant debris and mulch are returned to the
soil,this system can continue recycling nutrients indefinitely.
• Select the appropriate turfgrass mixture for your climate and soil type.
Certain tall fescues and rye grasses resist insect attack because the
symbiotic endophytic fungi found naturally in their tissues repel or kill
common leaf and stem-eating lawn insects. They do not, however,
repel root-feeding lawn pests such as Crane Fly larvae, and are toxic to
ruminants such as cattle and sheep. The fungus causes no known
adverse effects to the host plant or to humans. Endophytic grasses are
commercially available and can be used in areas such as parks or golf
courses where grazing does not occur. The local Cooperative
Extension office can offer advice on which types of grass are best
suited to the area and soil type.
• Use the following seeding and planting BMPs, or equivalent BMPs to
obtain information on grass mixtures,temporary and permanent
seeding procedures, maintenance of a recently planted area, and
fertilizer application rates: Temporary Seeding, Mulching and Matting,
Clear Plastic Covering, Permanent Seeding and Planting, and Sodding
as described in Volume 11).
• Selection of desired plant species can be made by adjusting the soil
properties of the subject site. For example, a constructed wetland can
be designed to resist the invasion of reed canary grass by layering
specific strata of organic matters(e.g., compost forest product
residuals)and creating a mildly acidic pH and carbon-rich soil
medium. Consult a soil restoration specialist for site-specific
conditions.
• Aerate lawns regularly in areas of heavy use where the soil tends to
become compacted. Aeration should be conducted while the grasses
in the lawn are growing most vigorously. Remove layers of thatch
greater than 1/4-inch deep.
• Mowing is a stress-creating activity for turfgrass. When grass is
mowed too short its productivity is decreased and there is less growth
of roots and rhizomes. The turf becomes less tolerant of
environmental stresses, more disease prone and more reliant on outside
means such as pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation to remain healthy.
Set the mowing height at the highest acceptable level and mow at
times and intervals designed to minimize stress on the turf. Generally
mowing only 1/3 of the grass blade height will prevent stressing the
turf.
Irrigation:
The depth from which a plant normally extracts water depends on the
rooting depth of the plant. Appropriately irrigated lawn grasses
normally root in the top 6 to 12 inches of soil; lawns irrigated on a
daily basis often root only in the top I inch of soil. Improper irrigation
can encourage pest problems, leach nutrients,and make a lawn
completely dependent on artificial watering. The amount of water
applied depends on the normal rooting depth of the turfgrass species
used, the available water holding capacity of the soil,and the
efficiency of the irrigation system. Consult with the local water utility,
Conservation District,or Cooperative Extension office to help
determine optimum irrigation practices.
Fertilizer:Nanagentent:
• Turlgrass is most responsive to nitrogen fertilization, followed by
potassium and phosphorus. Fertilization needs vary by site depending
on plant, soil and climatic conditions. Evaluation of soil nutrient
levels through regular testing ensures the best possible efficiency and
economy of fertilization. For details on soils testing, contact the local
Conservation District or Cooperative Extension Service.
• Fertilizers should be applied in amounts appropriate for the target
vegetation and at the time of year that minimizes losses to surface and
ground waters. Do not fertilize during a drought or when the soil is
dry. Alternatively,do not apply fertilizers within three days prior to
predicted rainfall. The longer the period between fertilizer application
and either rainfall or irrigation, the less fertilizer runoff occurs.
• Use slow release fertilizers such as methylene urea, IDBU, or resin
coated fertilizers when appropriate, generally in the spring. Use of
slow release fertilizers is especially important in areas with sandy or
gravelly soils.
• Time the fertilizer application to periods of maximum plant uptake.
Generally fall and spring applications are recommended, although
WSU turf specialists recommend four fertilizer applications per year.
• Properly trained persons should apply all fertilizers. At commercial
and industrial facilities fertilizers should not be applied to grass
swales, filter strips, or buffer areas that drain to sensitive water bodies
unless approved by the local jurisdiction.
Integrated Pest Management
An IPM program might consist of the following steps:
Step I: Correctly identify problem pests and understand their life cycle
Step 2: Establish tolerance thresholds for pests.
Step 3: Monitor to detect and prevent pest problems.
Step 4: Modify the maintenance program to promote healthy plants and
discourage pests.
Step 5: Use cultural, physical, mechanical, or biological controls first if
pests exceed the tolerance thresholds.
Step 6: Evaluate and record the effectiveness of the control and modify
maintenance practices to support lawn or landscape recovery and prevent
recurrence.

1.0 Introduction
Envirotech Engineering (Envirotech) has completed this construction stormwater pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP) in conjunction with the stormwater management plan for logging that
has already occurred, and a planned single family residence located at 420 E Greenview Ln,
identified as parcel number 32134-41-00020,Mason County,Washington.
Best Management Practices (BMP's) selected for this project includes a stabilized construction
entrance and silt fencing. It is our opinion that these selected BMP's adequate for preventing
significant construction stormwater pollution from leaving the project site,and meets the intent of
the Stormwater Manual. The following 13 items have been addressed per the prevailing
Stormwater Manual.
Project Description
Information pertaining to the development of this project was provided by the proponent of the
property. The proposed development includes a Single Family Residence, driveway, on-site
septic system,and associated stormwater management facilities.
It is anticipated that the access road/ driveways will encompass approximately 1194 sf in size,
and structures will encompass 2916 sq. ft. in size, for a total of 4110 sf. ft. of impervious area.
The total land area that is anticipated to be disturbed as a result of past clearing is approximately
0.96 acres. Cut and fill quantities were approximated to be 10 cubic yards (cy) and 10 cy,
respectively. See the accompanying stormwater management plans for an illustration of current
and proposed site features.
Existing Site Conditions
The property is accessed from Greenview Lane, an existing dirt/gravel roadway,in unincorporated
Mason County. Greenview lane bisects the property, and it is assumed that an access easement is
located within the area of the roadway. The Project is currently undeveloped, with clearing on-
site.Vegetation is typical of the Pacific Northwest.
Critical descending slopes, with grades exceeding 40% appear to be within 300 feet of the
planned development. The maximum critical slope is approximately 80% with a vertical relief of
about 40 feet.
Ascending grades are generally located to the southeast of the planned development.These slopes
are relatively minor within 300 feet of the project,with no apparent slope grades of at least 15%.
Runoff originating upslope of the development is mostly diverted away from the property by
accommodating topography. Excessive scour, erosion or other indications of past drainage
problems were not observed within the immediate vicinity of the planned development

Adjacent Areas
The area of land that contributes stormwater runoff to the proposed development areas of the
property is generally located to the south. The upland drainage basin is primarily vacant land and
rural residential development. The upslope watershed for this property is estimated to be small,
with little water entering the property
The natural drainage from the property is directed to the north end of the property. The water
travels by sheet flow to Cranberry Creek, located approximately 450 feet to the north. Cranberry
creek eventually drains into Oakland bay.
r
Critical Areas
Other than the aforementioned slopes located on the property, critical areas were not observed
within the vicinity of the project.This project is not anticipated to disturb any critical area.
soils
Information on infiltration rates and soil conditions pertaining to the Project was accomplished by
Envirotech. Selected information pertaining to the drainage aspect of the project is provided
below.
The following subsurface conditions are estimated descriptions of the Project subgrade utilizing
information from the depth of penetration at all testing, sampling, observed and investigated
locations. Soils for this project were described utilizing the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS). Using the USCS in conjunction with estimated relative densities and other anticipated
engineering properties of the soil, susceptibility for potential landslides, erosion and seismic
hazards may be assessed.
The project is currently composed of native soils without indications of fill. Within test pit
locations, soils within the upper 4 feet of natural ground were generally observed to be moist,
brown silty sand with gravel(SM).
According to the "Soil Survey of Mason County," by the United States Department of
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, the site soils are described as Alderwood gravelly sandy
loam,Ab,with 8%to 15% slopes,and Lystair sandy loam,Le,with 5%to 15% slopes.
Based on the fines content, erodibility of the site soils is considered to be medium. Based on the
fines content and fraction of clay within the fines content, settleability of the site soils is expected
to be fast. Permeability is expected to be moderate for this site due significance of moderate
density,and fine-grained soils.
From the water well report(s) and knowledge of the general area, permanent groundwater is at
least 50 feet directly below the property at the building pad location.

According to the Critical Aquifer recharge Areas Map for Mason County, the site is not within a
Category II Aquifer Recharge Area.
Erosion Problem Areas
There are no identified or mapped erosion hazard areas for this property. The soil characteristics
provide a low to moderate erodibility factor.
Construction Phasing
Construction phasing for this project is not expected.Upon finishing the access roads,developing
single family residences will be considered future projects.
Construction Schedule
Construction of the project may occur as early as January 2024.Wet season erosion control is not
likely required for this project. However, wet season construction constraints are not necessary
for critical areas.
Engineering Calculations
Standard sediment ponds and traps were not utilized for this project. However, sedimentation due
to construction runoff is anticipated to be retained on site. Significant diversions and waterways
were not utilized for this project.Silt fencing is deemed adequate for this project,and calculations
are not required for this erosion control.

2.0 Specific Construction SWPPP Items
The following 13 items have been addressed per the prevailing Stormwater Manual.
2.1 Element 1 -Preserve Vegetation/Mark Clearing Limits
Before beginning land disturbing activities, including clearing and grading, clearing limits,
sensitive areas and their buffers shall be clearly delineated on-site. This includes delineating trees
that are to be preserved within the construction area. Construction activities are not permitted
beyond the designated clearing limits without prior approval.
Retain the duff layer, native top soil, and natural vegetation in an undisturbed state to the
maximum degree practicable.
2.2 Element 2-Establish Construction Access
Construction access is designated as the ingress/ egress connecting to E Greenview Lane. One
construction access is allowed for this project. Stabilize the construction access with rock per the
stormwater plans in order to minimize tracking of sediments off-site. If the stabilized construction
entrance proves ineffective,locate wheel wash or tire baths on-site.If sediment is tracked off-site,
clean the affected roadway thoroughly at the end of each day, and more frequent as necessary.
Remove sediments by any means necessary, and transport the sediment to a controlled sediment
disposal area. After sediment removal, conduct street washing, and control wash water by
pumping back on-site, or otherwise prevent it from discharging into systems tributary to waters of
the State.
2.3 Element 3- Control Flow Rates
At all times, flow rates shall be controlled for this project. Natural drainage patterns shall be
protected as much as possible during construction, and concentrated flow should not be
permitted, unless directed to an engineered drainage facility. Protect downstream waterways and
properties from associated discharge of turbid waters.
2.4 Element 4 -Install Sediment Controls
Sediment discharges from the project site must be minimized. Sediment controls deemed
adequate for this project is temporary silt fencing, and shall be located downslope from all
disturbed areas.
If sediment control is not working as intended, additional controls such as sediment traps, hay
bales,filters,or other standard controls will be necessary.

2.5 Element 5-Stabilize Soils
Soil stabilization is not necessary for this project. Temporary seeding and permanent soil
stabilization requirements are provided in the erosion control section of the design drawings.
Always minimize the area of exposed soils during construction, including disturbance on steep
slopes. In addition, soil compaction should be minimized, and topsoil preserved as much as
possible.
Soils shall not remain exposed and unworked for more than 7 days during the dry season (May 1
—September 30),and more than 2 days during the wet season(October 1 —April 30).
2.6 Element 6-Protect Slopes
Slopes are not expected to be protected for this project
2.7 Element 7-Protect Drain Inlets
There are no existing drain inlets close to the project that would be influenced by the
construction.Newly installed catch basins and other inlets, shall be protected from runoff siltation
via silt fence inlet barriers, inserts, or other appropriate means. Clean or remove and replace inlet
protection devices when sediment has filled one-third of the available storage (unless a different
standard is specified by the product manufacturer).
2.8 Element 8-Stabilize Channels and Outlets
There are no Channels of Outlets planned for this project.
2.9 Element 9-Control Pollutants
Pollution generated from construction must be controlled at all times. Control of pollutants other
than sediments includes the following:
• All pollutants other than sediments shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that
does not cause contamination of stormwater.
• Cover, containment and protection from vandalism shall be provided for all chemicals,
liquid products,petroleum products,and non-inert wastes present on the project site.
• Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles involving oil changes,
hydraulic system drain down, solvent and de-greasing cleaning operations, fuel tank drain
down and removal, and other activities which may result in discharge or spillage of
pollutants to the ground or into stormwater runoff must be conducted using spill prevention
measures,such as drip pans. Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately following
any discharge or spill incident. Emergency repairs may be performed on-site using
temporary plastic placed beneath and,if raining,over the vehicle.

• Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater shall be discharged to a separate on-site treatment
system or to the sanitary sewer,if available.
• Application of agricultural chemicals including fertilizers and pesticides shall be
conducted in a manner, and at application rates that will not result in loss of chemical to
stormwater runoff. Manufacturers' recommendations for application rates and procedures
shall be followed.
2.10 Element 10- Control Dewatering
Although dewatering will not be likely for this project, special provisions are required to be
followed when dewatering. The outlet for dewatering shall be located in a position as to prevent
sediments and pollution from leaving the site.This may be accomplished by pumping water into a
sedimentation pond, or other standard control.
2.11 Element 11 -Maintain BMP's
All BMP's must be inspected and maintained in order to assure continued performance of their
intended function. Remove all temporary erosion and sediment control BMP's within 30 days
after achieving final site stabilization or after the temporary BMP's are no longer needed.
Inspection and maintenance for this project includes the following:
Stabilized Construction Entrance
The stabilized construction entrance shall be inspected at reasonable increments. Increased usage
of the construction entrance warrants more frequent inspections. Additional rock shall be added
periodically to maintain proper function of the pad.
Silt Fence
All silt fencing,if used,shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during
prolonged rainfall.Any required repairs shall be made immediately.
Permanent Vegetation
Permanent vegetation shall initially be inspected regularly to insure establishment and healthy
growth. Once established, vegetation may need to be periodically fertilized for continuous
growth.Vegetation shall be re-established in areas,if necessary.
While active construction is in process,all temporary erosion and sediment control facilities shall
be inspected and immediately maintained if necessary per the requirements provided above. In
the event that construction activities are discontinued for at least 4 consecutive days, the owner
shall be responsible for the inspection, and immediate maintenance if necessary, of all temporary
erosion and sediment control facilities immediately after storm events, and at least once every 7
days.

In addition to the aforementioned inspection and maintenance schedule, the owner shall install
additional erosion and sediment control facilities if proposed erosion and sediment control
measures prove to be inadequate.
2.12 Element 12-Manage the Project
Inspection, maintenance, and financial liability of all temporary/ permanent erosion and
sedimentation control facilities shall ultimately be the responsibility of the current property
owner. All construction facilities and BMP's shall be assured continued performance of their
intended function. Since less than 1 acre is planned to be disturbed, a Certified Erosion and
Sediment Control Lead (CESCL) is not required. Currently, the designated manager for this
project is:
