NOTICE OF VIOLATION
ORDER TO CORRECT VIOLATION
Violation Order File: ENF2016-00021
The undersigned certifies and states that:
Name of Owner: Leverson, Craig
Mailing Address: PO Box 7759 Tacoma,WA 98417
Location of Violation: 75 NE Haven Lane Tahuya,WA 98588
Parcel#22330-50-00072
DESCRIPTION OF VIOLATION($): 1) Built concrete bulkhead without proper permitting
STATE LAW OR MASON COUNTY CODE(MCC)SECTION(S)IN VIOLATION:
1. Improper shoreline stabilization and placement(shoreline master program 17.50.340 (B))
2. No authorization to undertake use or development on shorelines of the state shall be
granted by the County unless upon review the use or development is determined to be
consistent with the policy and provisions of the Shoreline Master Act and this master
program.The burden of proving that the proposed development is consistent with these
criteria shall be on the applicant. (shoreline master program 17.50.400)
ACTIONS REQUIRED TO CORRECT:
1. The shoreline shall be returned to its natural state and/or stabilized. See options below:
a. Please be aware that soft shore stabilization is the preferred method versus "hard
armoring". Soft shore stabilization can be achieved with biotechnical measures, such
as, beach vegetative enhancement, gravel berming, coarse beach fill, etc. Soft shore
stabilization requires the same permits as "hard armoring" stabilization (itemized below
in detail),the only difference is that all of the associated permit fees are reduced by half
of the cost.

b. A new bulkhead using rockery or concrete is a bit more challenging in terms of providing
proof that"hard armoring" is needed.The burden of proof is on the property owner and
hired consultants, geotechnical engineer, and wetlands biologist to demonstrate how a
hard armoring approach is better than soft shore stabilization, in terms of shoreline
habitat value and function. Both the shoreline geotechnical assessment/report and
habitat management plan will need to address this issue. In the event that hard
armoring is proven to be environmentally feasible, any bulkhead structure shall be
placed at or landward the ordinary high water mark, established in the field, with the
proper permits in place. The County permits required for soft shore stabilization or
"hard armoring" stabilization on properties containing an existing residence consist of
the following: HMP, Shoreline Geotechnical Engineer Assessment/Report, SEPA, SHX
(DARPA) and BLDG permit (no building permit for soft shore stabilization). State (HPA)
and Federal permits could be required as well, please check with State and Federal
agencies for requirements. Please be aware that if hard armoring is going to be pursued,
the permits listed above will be at full price and that the shoreline geotechnical
assessment shall specifically address the need for hard armoring, e.g. bulkhead, per the
criteria outlined in the Shoreline Master Program (pages 113- 117).
