Address and phone number of applicant and contact person: Applicant: Quigg Brothers Incorporated P. O. Box 1707 819 West State Aberdeen, WA 98520 Contract Person: Mr. Tim Quigg 360-533-1530 4. Date checklist prepared: April 13, 1999 5. Agency requesting checklist: Mason County Planning and Building Departments 6. Proposed timing or schedule (including phasing, if applicable): Proposed fill to begin during late April or early May 1999 weather permitting. The applicant proposes a 2 year term for the permit due to the uncertainty of weather and difficulty of working on landslides. 7. Do you have any plans for future additions, expansion, or further activity related to or connected with this proposal? Nothing beyond a secondary desire on the part of the property owner and the applicant to make this site available for other projects so long as permitted capacity is available. Ultimate capacity of the site will be determined as this project proceeds through the permit process. 8. List any environmental information you know about that has been prepared, or will be prepared, directly relating to this proposal. None. 9. Do you know whether applications are pending for government approvals of other proposals directly affecting the property covered by your proposal? If yes, explain. None known at this time. 10. List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. None known at this time. 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) This project will provide for disposal of landslide debris from the Lilliwaup M.P. 326 and Ayock M.P. 322 landslides, which have blocked SR-101. The proposed fill site has no natural discharge except to ground water through infiltration. The site is very lightly timbered with non-merchantable trees that are suffering from root rot. The property owner wants to remove the few small trees and then cover the site with fill material. The land will be replanted with ground cover and trees following completion of the filling process. Provision will be made at both the upslope and downslope ends of the proposed fill to allow storm water to infiltrate into the pervious sands and gravels which underlay the site. This method of storm water control duplicates the existing condition. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. All of the work to be undertaken as part of this project is located within the South '/2 of Section 27, Township 24 North, Range 3 West WM. Parcel # 32427-00-04000 B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. EARTH: a. General description of the site (circle one): Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)? Maximum slopes are in the 31% range in the area to be filled. This project will reduce cross slopes in the area of the fill and will leave the lower valley slope at near current grades, but at a somewhat higher elevation. The down slope end of the proposed fill will be limited to a 3:1 slope. Provisions will be made to control erosion from the fill. C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, gravel, sand, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The soil within the project area generally consists of sand and gravel with shallow topsoil or forest duff on or near the surface. The existing soils can be described as free draining. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. No e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Exact quantities of the proposed fill are not currently known, but the site has a capacity of more than 250,000 cubic yards. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so generally describe. No. Construction work will include protective measures for the possible minor erosion problems. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? No impervious surfaces will be created as a result of this proposed project. k Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: Erosion control features will be constructed as the fill proceeds. The intent is to leave the site in a condition which will allow storm water to infiltrate into the ground in the same manner as currently exists. Straw bales, rock check dams and silt control fences will all be used. Silt fences and straw bails will be used along the existing haul road from SR-101 to the fill site. 2. AIR: a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e. dust, automobile, odors, and industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Dust and equipment exhaust, during construction. A water truck will be used if necessary to control dust generated by the trucks delivering material to the fill site. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. The materials transport to the fill site by truck is also a potential source to emissions consisting of dust and exhaust emissions, but these are subject to other environmental regulation. Dust control on site will be provided as needed to limit offsite dust. C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: None. Contractor's equipment is controlled by current regulations. 3. WATER: a. Surface: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. Yes, the Hama Hama River is approximately 1/2 mile away and Hood Canal is approximately 5/8 mile away, however no drainage from the proposed fill site directly enters either body of water. All stromwater from the site enters the groundwater. This project will leave that system intact. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. No 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. I d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground and runoff water impacts, if any: Erosion control features will be constructed as the fill proceeds. The intent is to leave the existing pothole as the primary storm water control mechanism. The amount of open unrestored earth will be kept to a minimum to reduce the potential of plugging the underlying sands and gravel with fines. Straw bales, rock check dams and silt control fences will all be used. 4. PLANTS: a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site: Deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other evergreen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other shrubs grass pasture crop or grain - None Known wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bulrush, skunk cabbage, other Water plants: water lily, eelgrass, Milfoil, other types of vegetation b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered? Existing non-merchantable trees will be removed prior to the fill operation. The site will be replanted to forest after the fill process is complete. The existing trees in this area have root rot and the land owner believes the fill will provide better conditions for the replanting of the forest cover. C. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site. None known. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants or other measures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any: Restoration of groundcover will be provided. S. ANIMALS: a. Circle any birds or animals which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site: birds: hawk, heron, eagle, songbirds, other. waterfowl mammals: deer, bear, elk, beaver, other. fish: bass, salmon, trout, herring, shellfish, other. None 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No. S) Does the proposal lie within the 100-year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan. No work is proposed within the 100 year floodplain. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No. b. Ground: 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example, Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc..). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the systems) are expected to serve. None. C. Water Runoff(including storm water): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and methods of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known).
