NOTE: Copies of all FPA Applications will be forwarded to Mason County Public Works for stormwater and erosion
control review. Projects which disturb more than one acre(regardless of total lot size)will require an engineered
stormwater plan consistent with the Mason County Stormwater Ordinance(Chapter 14.48.)and the 1992 WSDOE
Stormwater Manual(2005 in Belfair&Allyn UGA's).Applicants will be charged for Public Works staff time to review
these plans and applications.
Property owners should also be aware that the Washington State Department of Ecology(WSDOE)might ask for a
NPDES(National Pollution Discharge Elimination System)Permit.The threshold for such a permit is equivalent to
Mason County's threshold.WSDOE will notify applicants through SEPA review if a NPDES is required.An NPDES is
not a perquisite for FPA approval.It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain this permit when required.

Good morning Micheal
I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend.
I wasn't copied on the email you sent on Friday, but my dad forwarded it to me. I didn't think that these
items were really SamBayshore's responsibility, so I spent all day out at the property on Monday, doing
the best I can to take care of these items, to expedite and keep this process moving forward as quickly as
possible...
I have marked the building setback line from the wetland buffer on the east side of the property. I have
also marked the property buffer on the north side and finally, I marked the approximate clearing
boundary towards the south of the parcel. They are marked with stakes, painted fluorescent orange on
the top with a yellow flag fixed onto them(see attached photo for ID example). I have also labeled them
accordingly...
I also removed most of the un-necessary flagging that was existing.
Section 6 Info
Lumber(Harvest Type), I have measured and counted the trees(greater than 12" diameter) within the
area to be cleared and the the approximate figures are as follows:
Cedar- 40,275 board feet
Fir-27,455 board feet
Alder- 560 board feet
The total area is less than 1 acre, I am not sure what the 'Unit#' or'Yarding Method' refers to??
The area is mostly level (slope is less than 2%)and the trees are mostly within that area, with the
exception of maybe a handful that are close to the'dog leg' in the building setbackibuffer area.
I hope this information helps clear things up... Let me know.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and regards,
Iain Rutherford

Hello Sam,
I am the County reviewer for the John Rutherford FPA on Lynch Road in Shelton.
At the time Mr. Rutherford completed his FPA application, he did not know the answers to Section 6
on the FPA application. Can you answer them for him?Here is the FPA application for reference.
http://www.co.mason.wa.us/forms/Community Dev/forest practice.pdf
Also, I am going to need someone to flag the boundaries of the cutting unit in the field. There is
already a fair amount of flagging on the site, but it all seems to be for other purposes. The most
important flagging is the east line of the unit which is the wetland buffer.
Please confirm that you have received this and that you can take care of these items.
Thank you,
Michael MacSems

Dave,
I would like to discuss a case that I'm working on. In the course of reviewing an application for one
thing, I discovered a significant critical areas violation on another portion of the property. This raises
an interesting question about when, if ever, does a land use violation on one portion of a subject parcel
affect a permit application on another portion of the property. Hopefully we can talk on Tuesday.
Thanks,
Michael
