Re: WET SEASON EVALUATION,
Parcel # 821151012 & 821151011, OTH07 -19
Dear Mr. Cuykendall:
This office completed a wet season evaluation during the winter of 2007 -2008 at the
above referenced site. Jefferson County Policy 93 -04 states that a wet season
evaluation may be required to be repeated if the precipitation is less than 80% of
average. If the rainfall is over 110% of average the applicant can request the evaluation
be repeated. Fees for the reevaluation would be required.
Port Ludlow received 109% of average rainfall. The above referenced site falls within
the Port Ludlow rainfall area. It has been determined that this is a valid wet season.
The results /report is enclosed for your review. Please contact your designer to discuss
options for the site.
The soil test pits in the area evaluated do not meet the requirements for an onsite
sewage system. I contacted Mr. Bob Clark at Cleaver Construction on January 9th.. He
indicated that he would relay this information to you and discuss the site conditions and
the surface water /stream adjacent to the area as well. No further information or area to
evaluate was provided to this office.
If you have further questions please contact this office at 385 -9444.

Comments: This site has multiple issues: well arcs, high bank, marine waters, and surface
water drainage issues. Water pools on the proposed drain field area. When digging soil logs, a
water table was not encountered. The soil log did fill with water from the bottom, but poured
down the sides from beneath the sandy silt layer. The fine sand layer under the sandy silt layer
did have mottling, but appeared well drained.
