Department of Transportation DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE
Description of proposal: US Highway 101/South of Beacon Point—1Major Drainage
The purpose of this major drainage project is to replace an existing 36-inch diameter
culvert that provides conveyance for an unnamed creek, a non-fish bearing stream, that
drains into Hood Canal. The existing culvert is located in a deep roadway fill. The culvert
is failing due to joint separation and collapsing of the pipe. Failure of the embankment
would cause the closure of US 101. Therefore repair requires installation a new 90-foot,
36-inch diameter culvert. A trenchless method will be used to jack the new culvert
through the roadway fill from the west side of the highway in the summer of 2011.
Project work includes "jacking" the replacement culvert pipe through the roadway fill,
slope work, plug and fill the existing culvert pipe, minor stream re-alignment and
guardrail installation on both sides of the roadway
Proponent: Washington State Department of Transportation
Location of proposal: The project is located on US Highway 101, Mile Post 316.06 to Mile
Post 316.26 in Section 12,Township 24 North, Range 3 West, W.M. in Mason County.
Lead Agency: Washington State Department of Transportation
The lead agency for this proposal has detennined that it does not have a probable significant
adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS)is not required
under RCW 43.21 C.030(2) (c). This decision was made after review of a completed
environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency. This information is
available to the public on request.
X This DNS is issued under WAC 197-11-340(2); the lead
agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site (underline one):Flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes,
mountainous, other:
Rural, forested area,with a rolling and curved highway.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
Steepest slope on the site is 67%.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel,
peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and
note any prime farmland.
Project is located within the Hoodsport stony sandy loam. There is no prime
farmland.
d. Are there surface indications of history of unstable soils in the immediate
vicinity? If so, describe.
A site visit was conducted in January 2011. No evidence of recent instability
was found.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading
proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Upslope side: Fill will be utilized to redirect the unnamed stream to the new
culvert inlet. Type of fill will be both native and select borrow supplied by
the contractor from a WSDOT approved source. Approximate quantity will
be 130 cubic yards.
Downslope side: Grading will be performed to provide an access road to the
culvert outlet area. Fill will be utilized at the culvert outlet to give the
roadway slope extra integrity for the"jacking" operation.Type of fill will be
rip rap and granular material supplied by the contractor from a WSDOT
approved source. Approximate quantity will be 160 cubic yards (90 cubic
yards of rip rap and 70 cubic yards of granular material).
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally
describe.
Some erosion may occur during construction,which will be minimized using
Best Management Practices (BMP's).
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after
project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
No added impervious surfaces for this culvert replacement project.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if
any:
-3-
Erosion will be controlled by preparation and implementation of a
Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control(TESC) Plan utilizing Best
Management Practices. The existing culvert will be utilized to maintain
stream flow during construction of the new culvert. The stream will be
redirected to the new culvert at the completion of construction.
2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal(for example:
dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when
the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate
quantities if known.
There will be hydrocarbon exhaust emissions from excavators, dump trucks,
loaders, compaction equipment, sweepers,pickup trucks, delivery trucks,
and pipe jacking equipment during construction activities. Air quality is
expected to return to normal after construction
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal?
If so, generally describe.
No
c. Proposed measures to reduce or-control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
Water or other BMP's will be used to control dust if necessary.

(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.
There is a perennial, unnamed stream that flows through the project site
and empties into Hood Canal.
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.
Project work will require constructing a"jacking pit" adjacent to the
unnamed stream for the equipment needed to install the new culvert
under US Highway 101 and for the stream realignment.
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 offill material.

material from surface waters over an area of 300 square feet and 2 cubic
yards of material from the wetland over an area of 130 square feet.
-4-
Fill will be utilized to redirect the unnamed stream to the new culvert inlet.
Approximate quantity of fill that will be placed into surface waters will be
130 cubic yards over an area of 400 square feet and 10 cubic yards over an
area of 50 square feet. This will be done during the in-water work window
and appropriate Best Management Practices will be utilized to minimize
turbidity and maintain water quality standards.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give
general description,purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
The project work will not withdraw water. The existing culvert will convey
the unnamed stream while the new culvert is "jacked"through the roadway
fill.The new culvert inlet will be offset 25 feet from the existing culvert inlet.
The new culvert will have an outlet directly above the existing culvert and
use the same streambed at the discharge point. Once the new culvert is
installed,the unnamed stream will be redirected to the new pipe inlet.
S) Does the proposal lie within a 100 year floodplain? If so, note location on
the site plan.
No
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.

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 system(s) are
expected to serve.
This project will not discharge Nv istc material into the ground.
c. Water Runoff (including storm water):
1) Describe the source of runoff(including stormwater) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water
flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
The unnamed stream is spring water fed. Stormwater will enter the
unnamed streambed from roadside ditches and the steep ravine sides.
This water will flow eastward under US Highway 101 to Hood Canal.
-5 -
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally
describe.
Petroleum products will be on the project site during construction.
However, a spill prevention control and countermeasures plan will be
developed and BMP's will be developed for spill prevention and control
during construction.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground and runoff water
impacts, if any:
All runoff will be treated in accordance with the WSDOT Highway Runoff
Manual and Best Management Practices.
