Dear Mo-Chi Lindbald: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance for the Mason Street Neighborhood proposal (SUB2025-00012) located at 231 Mason Street as proposed by Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County. The Department of Ecology (Ecology) reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): TOXICS CLEANUP: Dean Malte (360) 999-9584 No confirmed or suspected contaminated sites are located on or within 750 feet of the project area. If any contamination is encountered during work in the project area, please report it to Ecology (per WAC 173-340-300) via the online Environmental Report Tracking System. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: Derek Rockett (360) 995-3176 All grading and filling of land must utilize only clean fill. All other materials may be considered solid waste and permit approval may be required from your local jurisdictional health department prior to filling. All removed debris resulting from this project must be disposed of at an approved site. Contact the local jurisdictional health department or Department of Ecology for proper management of these materials. HAZARDOUS WASTE & TOXICS REDUCTION: Garret Peck (564) 669-0836
The applicant proposes to demolish an existing structure(s). In addition to any required asbestos abatement procedures, the applicant should ensure that any other potentially dangerous or hazardous materials present, such as PCB-containing lamp ballasts, fluorescent lamps, and wall thermostats containing mercury, are removed prior to demolition. It is important that these materials and wastes are removed and appropriately managed prior to demolition. It is equally important that demolition debris is also safely managed, especially if it contains painted wood or concrete, treated wood, or other possibly dangerous materials. Please review the Dangerous Waste Rules for Demolition, Construction, and Renovation Wastes, posted at Ecology’s website, The applicant may also contact Katy Harvey of
Jefferson County
