Mr. Smyth:
Pursuant to our meeting on November 3 , I wanted to confirm the
issues that we discussed. The primary fire protection issue for
your facility is to provide adequate fire flow for use by fire
department pumpers .
Subsequent to the fire in July, we met and discussed this issue in
early August . At that meeting, I had indicated that our goal was
to achieve a minimum of 2000 GPM for one hour, through a looped
fire system, serving fire hydrants and fire hose stations .
Based on our discussion at the November meeting, it is my
understanding that you are getting bids on a 250, 000 gallon storage
pond, with a pump system adequate to supply the appropriate working
pressure. Given the target flow rate of 2000 GPM, your proposed
storage capacity would result in a duration of a little over two
hours . The system should also be engineered to provide a residual
pressure of 20 psi.
Let me recap our needs for upgrading the fire protection for this
facility:
1. Fire flow of 2000 GPM for 2 hours, at 20 psi residual
pressure.
2 . A minimum 6 inch diameter, looped fire line.
3 . A combination of fire hydrants and fire hose connections at
selected locations . We should arrange for a site visit, including
the Chief of Fire District 4, to determine where we need fire
hydrants vs. fire hose connections .
The issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy for the new
storage buildings will be dependent on an indication from your
company that you intend to upgrade the fire protection water
system. This upgrade shall be completed no later than August 1,
1994 . A written letter of intent with an anticipated time-frame
for completion will suffice.
If you have any questions, please contact my�office,
Best Regards, !. Y�� C� j�V( azd

SUBJ: Skookum Mill
I need some advice regarding the status of the rebuilding of the
storage sheds at the Skookum Mill .
Shortly after the fire, I met will the mill management and
representatives of the insurance company regarding my fire
protection requirements for the new construction. At that meeting,
I agreed not to tie the upgrading of the water system to the
issuance of permits to replace the burned buildings. I did this to
allow the mill owners to rebuild fast enough to get the finished
lumber under cover before winter. At that same time, I did explain
that it was my expectation that a plan would be developed for
providing more water storage for fire protection, along with an
expanded hydrant system.
It appears as though the upgrading of the water system is somewhat
in limbo. It appears that the insurance company would participate
in the cost of upgrading the water system if that requirement is
tied to our approval of the new buildings . That' s what the mill
management wants since the insurance company would then pay for
some of the upgrade. If the approval of the new buildings is not
concurrent with the requirement to upgrade the water system, the
entire cost of upgrading the water system could fall on the mill
owners .
What' s the line. . .nice guys finish last . . . ?? I looks like my
attempt to accommodate everyone has come back to bite me. Frankly,
I don' t care who pays for the water system improvements. But, it
looks like it will be more of a chore to get the mill owners to
foot the entire bill . I see that I may have several options:
1. I can stand firm on the primary issue and require the upgrade of
the system. . .and let the mill owners battle the finances out with
the insurance company.
2 . The new buildings are already built . One has lumber stored in
it. The plans are still being reviewed and the permit has not yet
been issued. I'm wondering if we have any leverage regarding
conditioning the issuance of a CO upon receipt of either plans for
the water system upgrade or at least a letter of intent to install
a new system to our standards, by a certain time.
I kind of feel like I've been scammed here, but I don' t know the
mill owners well enough to understand their way of doing business .
Any insights??

Mr. Smyth:
Pursuant to our meeting on July 7, I wanted to confirm the issues
that we discussed.
The proposed plans for the upgrade of the fire protection system is
acceptable up to the point where the new system connects to the
existing fire main. For final approval, the following corrections
are required:
1. Replace five of the existing standpipes with AWWA fire hydrants,
installed to Mason County specifications. I have indicated the
specific hydrant locations on the plans I left in your office the
day of our meeting.
2 . Extend that section of the existing eight inch fire line located
near the office building to a point near the main mill building and
place an AWWA fire hydrant at the end of that extension. The exact
location of the hydrant will be determined by my office and the
Chief of FD 4 .
3 . Provide a drafting hydrant at the pump house.
4 . The pump house shall be of non-combustible construction.
5. Monitor all flow control valves to the panel in the watchman's
room.
6. The fire pump shall be set up on a regular automatic start
sequence as part of regular maintenance.
Our records show that neither of the two buildings that were
constru
cted as the result of the 1993 fire have received a final
inspection or a certificate of occupancy from our office.
Technically, you are in violation of the Uniform Building Code in
occupying buildings that have not received final approval by Mason
County. It is yours or your contractor's responsibility to contact
the Mason County Building Department to arrange for a final
inspection.
Our final inspection and issuance of a certificate of occupancy for
these buildings is dependant upon the final approval of the plans
for the water system. Furthermore, we will not issue any new
permits for your facility until the water system and the new
buildings have been inspected and approved.

Dear Mr. Salzer:
Please find enclosed for your review and approval 2 sets of revised plans and design
calculations for the above-referenced project. The plans have been revised in accordance
with your letter to Mr. Tucker Smyth, dated July 14, 1994, and with my telephone
conversations with you.
1. Fire hydrants locations are shown on sheet 5.
2. The eight inch fire line has been extended to a location near the main mill building.
A fire hydrant is shown at the end of this line. Thf, extension and fire hydrant are
shown on sheet 5.
3. A drafting hydrant at the pump house is shown on sheet 1.
4. The pump house is to be steel construction. The insulation on the interior surfaces
will have a low flame spread rating which should qualify for non-combustible. The
notes on the building and insulation are on sheet 6.
5. Closing the flow control valves will cause the alarm in the watchman's room to be
activated. The siren shall also sound. The notes on this item are listed on sheet 6.
6. The fire pump will be provided with an automatic timer for weekly operation. The
notes for this item are on sheet 6.
