Public Works has been delivered a copy of a recorded Declaration of Covenants Associated
with Privately Maintained Storm Drainage Facilities to cover the vehicle washrack being
constructed at the Skookum Lumber Company facility. The Auditor's file number for the
Skookum Lumber Company Washrack is 637573 .
The O&M Covenant is in the form provided by Public Works, and is considered acceptable in
spite of the omission of"Mason County" from three paragraphs on the form. This omission is
considered by Public Works to be unintentional, and by accepting the covenant, Public Works will
administer the covenant as though the entity"Mason County" was present. This omission may
have been intentional since the washrack is being installed as part of the NPDES permit the
lumber company is operating under. Ecology may be the entity who monitors the maintenance for
the washrack, and by omission of specifically naming the County as the administering agency, the
covenant could be argued to be expanded to include Ecology as well as the County as the
responsible agency.
Either way, the applicant has signified their recognition of the need for ongoing maintenance, and
their willingness to abide by the normal O&M Standards, regardless of who identifies the need.
Si cerely,
