Subject : Illegal bulkhead and landfilling of Erickson Lake. Sec.
4, Twn 23N, R 2W. Erickson Lake, Lot 4-C.
Dear Mr. Rath:
After a site inspection of the above property on June 11, 1991, I
checked our records for applicable permits for the shoreline
structures and filling activities . None were found.
Construction or work near the wetted perimeter of a lake without a
Hydraulic Project Approval from the Department of Wildlife is a
violation of the Hydraulic Code (RCW 75 .20 . 100 and 75 .20 . 103) .
This matter will be turned over to Stephan Kalinowski of the
Department of Wildlife.
Mason County requires at a minimum that construction of docks and
bulkheads have a building permit, as well as go through the SEPA
review process .
A site inspection on June 11, 1991 revealed that the existing
bulkhead and fill are inconsistent with the State Environmental
Policy Act, as well as Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; and
thusly will need to be removed to avoid further enforcement
proceedings . -4�7v`
You will need to contact myself within five days of receipt of this
letter. The following mitigation measures will be discussed at
that time:
* All log bulkheading shall be removed, the fill shall be
properly pulled back from the OHWM of Erickson Lake, and the
original bank restored to its original contour, as determined
by this department ( . . . approximate 10 foot difference between
original bank and bulkheaded bank) . This shall be completed
:by August 31, 1991 .
* Exposed soil shall be re-vegetated with native plant species .
The area within 15 feet of the OHWM of Erickson shall receive
enough tree and shrub plantings to retard erosion. The
density of plantings in this area shall be no less than one
plant per 25 square feet. This shall be completed by August
31, 1991 .
I
continued . . .
* All fill material removed from behind the bulkhead needs to be
placed above high water and seeded with grass and native
vegetation to prevent erosion by August 31, 1991.
(Reminder: All work associated with the wetted perimeter
of Erickson Lake requires prior Hydraulic Project
approval from the Department of Wildlife. )
As soon as cooperation breaks down (i .e . deadlines are not met,
structures are not removed, restoration measures not completed)
then the case will be turned over to the prosecuting attorney' s
office . At that time, the entire site will observe the work
stoppage order.
If you have any questions regarding the information provided;
please feel free to onta t this office at 427-9670 .
