The Department of Ecology(Ecology)reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): SOLID WASTE&FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Anya Caudill(360)407-6084 We encourage the applicant to dispose of wood debris generated during tree removal and forest thinning at facilities authorized to_accept.these.materials.For area-specific information about wood debris recycling and composting resources,please call or visit the Mason county website at: http://www.co.mason.wa.us/health/envhealth/solid waste/recycling.php. WATER QUALITY: Roberta Woods(360)407-6269 Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing,grading,or construction. These control measures must be effective to prevent stormwater runoff from carrying soil and other pollutants into surface water or storm drains that lead to waters of the state. Sand,silt,clay particles, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants. Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter 90.48 RCW,Water Pollution Control,and WAC 173-201A,Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington,and is subject to enforcement action. Proper disposal of construction debris must be on land in such a manner that debris cannot enter the wetlands and buffers or cause water quality degradation of state waters. Soil in stockpiles should be stabilized or protected with sediment-trapping measures to prevent soil loss. All exposed areas of final grade or areas that are not scheduled for work,whether at final grade or otherwise, shall not remain exposed and un-worked for more than two days,between October 1 and April 30. Between May 1 and September 30,no soils shall remain exposed and un-worked for more than 7 days. Clearing limits and/or any easements or required buffers should be identified and marked in the field, prior to the start of any clearing,grading,or construction. Some suggested methods are staking and flagging or high visibility fencing. i�i March 27,2008 Page 2 A permanent vegetative cover should be established on denuded areas at final grade if they are not otherwise permanently stabilized. Provision should be made to minimize the tracking of sediment by construction vehicles onto paved public roads. If sediment 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. Source control Best Management Practices(BMPs)such as plastic covering,mulch,temporary seeding,and phased clearing(for example)should be used to control erosion during construction. More examples of effective source control BMPs can be found in Ecology's two stormwater management manuals,Stormwater Management Manual for Puget Sound(1992)and Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (2001). This project includes commercial thinning and conversion from forestry uses to homes on this site. This type of clearing either requires a Forest Practices permit for conversion to Non-Forestry Use or a Construction Stormwater National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)permit for logging and disturbing one or more acres where there is runoff to waters of the state. The permit application form,called a Notice of Intent, is available on Ecology's website at: www.ea.wa.gov/progains/Wg/stormwater/construction/#Applicatio or contact Joyce Smith at(360) 407-6858 for an application. To avoid project delays,we encourage the applicant to submit a completed application form and to publish public notices more than 60 days before the planned start of the project. Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such,they do not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments please contact the appropriate reviewing staff listed above. Department of Ecology Southwest Regional Office (SM: 08-1864) cc: Anya Caudill, SW&FAP Neil Caudill,WQ Joyce Smith,HQ/WQ Roberta Woods,WQ Keith and Peggy Schouviller(Proponent/Owner) SEPA CONDITIONS FOR SEP2006-00110 Keith Schouviller This SEPA determination covers the logging of a 10-acre area situated over four lots (Unit 2). The property is accessed directly from Mason Lake road. Slopes within the vicinity of the logging do exceed 15%in some locations. A geological assessment was prepared for the site by Bradley-Noble Geotechnical Services and reviewed and approved by John Sliva of Mason County Public Works. A wetland does exist in the NE comer of the property but the harvest unit will be setback 300' from the wetland which far exceeds the maximum applicable buffer that this application is vested to (125'). Tree cutting within a tree length and a half of the existing buildings (Unit 1)is categorically exempt from this FPA,but a Mason Environmental Permit could be required if such trees are located within a critical areas buffer. STEEP SLOPES Slopes as steep as 25% exist on this site and a geo-technical assessment has been prepared and approved for this project. David Strong's recommendations concerning the stabilization of skid roads and erosion control, found on Page 3 of this report, shall be implemented as a condition of the permit. STORMWATER&EROSION CONTROL MEASURES The applicant shall abide by the following stormwater and erosion control requirements: • Stormwater and Erosion Control measures shall follow Washington State Department of Ecology Best Management Practices (BMPs) for controlling construction/logging runoff. Hay/straw, silt fences,rock check-dams,rock lined ditches, siltation pond(s), etc. shall be implemented as needed. • Escape of silty water or mud from the timber harvest area shall be considered a violation of County and State stormwater management regulations, and could subject the applicant(s)to civil fines or penalties. WETLAND BUFFER The harvest unit is setback 300 feet from an untyped wetland to the east. Flagging of the eastern boundary of the harvest unit shall be maintained until the logging is complete. SLASH ABATMENT This Forest Practice Application indicates that forest debris resulting from the proposed logging operation may create an extreme fire hazard under RCW 76.04.600 and WAC 332-24-650. An extreme fire hazard could be created if one or more of the conditions found in WAC 332-24-650 is located within 100 feet of the running surface of a public road; or is within 500 of an existing structure and/or designated public use area,which is not owned by the owner of the fire hazard area. 1� The land owner is fully liable in the event of fire, if he or she fails to appropriately abate the hazard. Extreme fire hazards shall be abated by removing the forest debris, or by other means approved by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Assistance with creating an abatement plan can be obtained by calling DNR agent Karen Harris at 360-801-1111.

Salmonids are salmon, trout and chars, e.g. bull trout. For our purposes, "ESA Listed Salmonids" is defined as fish species listed as endangered, threatened or being considered for listing. If ESA listed species are present or ever were present in the water shed where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you need to comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if the ESA listings will impact your project. The Fish Program Manager at the appropriate Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) regional office can provide information for the following two questions. 1. Are ESA listed salmonids currently present in the watershed in which your project will be located? YEA C S P— NO Please describe. n �t,e /1 9 e- Jav,--P el.a, mo 4� 2. Has there ever been an ESA listed salmonid stock present in this watershed? YES t/ NO Uncertain Please describe. If you answered "yes" to either of the above questions, you should complete the remainder of this checklist. April 2003 - 1 - PROJECT SPECIFICES: The questions in this section are specific to the project and vicinity. 1. Name of watershed: a 00 C, _ /,� / 2. Name of nearest waterbody: � '{ No T GL kPV&-_P 3. What is the distance from this project to the nearest body of water: 3.2 S Cre,7� ' // . Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a negative impact to fish. 4. What is the current land use between the project and the potentially affected water body (parking lots,farmland,etc.)? 1 / (9"" — 5. Is the project above a: * natural permanent barrier(waterfall) YES NO y * natural temporary barrier(beaver pond) YES NO j� * man-made barrier(culvert, dam) YES NO * other(explain): 6. If yes, are there any resident salmonid populations above the blockage? YES NO Don't know /A-11, 7. What percent of the project will be impervious surface (including pavement&roof area)? ✓`.l��e � Gp i -2- 1 FISH MIGRATION: The following questions will help determine if this project could interfere with migration of adult and juvenile fish. Both increases and decreases in water flows can affect fish migration. 1. Does the project require the withdrawal of: a. Surface water? YES NO y Amount Name of surface water body b. Ground water? YES NO ri Amount From where Depth of well 2. Will any water be rerouted: YES NO If yes, will this require a channel change? 3. Will there be retention or detention ponds? YES NO t--' If yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a surface discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a surface water body? If to a surface water discharge,please give the name of the waterbody. 4. Will this project require the building of new roads? YES NO l/ Increased road mileage may affect the timing of water reaching a stream and may impact fish habitat. 5. Are culverts proposed as part of this project? YES NO y 6. Will topography changes affect the duration/direction of runoff flows? YES NO L--' If yes, describe the changes. 7. Will the project involve any reduction of the floodway or floodplain by filling or other partial blockage of flows? YES NO If yes, how will the loss of flood storage be mitigated by your project? -3 - WATER QUALITY: The following questions will help determine if this project could Adversely impact water quality. Such impacts can cause problems for listed species. Water quality can be made worse by runoff from impervious surfaces,altering water temperature,discharging contaminants,etc. 1. Do you know of any problems with water quality, in any of the streams, within this watershed? YES NO 1,� If yes, describe. 2. Will your project either reduce or increase shade along or over a waterbody? YES NO L," Removal of shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or floats often results in a change in shade. 3. Will the project increase nutrient loading or have the potential to increase nutrient loading or contaminants fertilizers, other waste discharges, or runoff) to the waterbody? YES NO 4. Will turbidity be increased because of construction of the project or during operation of the project? YES NO (/ In-water or near water work will often increase turbidity. 5. Will your project require long term maintenance, i.e. bridge cleaning, highway salting, and chemical sprays for vegetation management, clearing of parking lots? YES NO If yes,please describe. -4- VEGETATION: The following questions are designed to determine if the project will affect riparian vegetation, thereby, adversely impacting salmon. 1. Will the project involve the removal of any vegetation from the stream banks: YES NO _V- If yes, please describe the existing conditions, and the amount and type of vegetation to be removed. 2. If any vegetation is removed, do you plan to re-plant? YES NO ✓ If yes, what types of plants will you use? ✓V W -5-
