RE: - s - Sentinel Firs Road, Port Hadlock Geotech Waiver Request — Approval
Recommendation. orceL =0,- 9 2.1lag04+
Ms. Rogers applied for a geotech waiver during the course of a septic permit application. Ms.
Rogers plans to construct a single-family home. Ms. Rogers' property is mapped as a slight
landslide hazard area and seismic hazard. I have reviewed Ms. Rogers' waiver request, available
map and data, and completed the attached geohazard checklist. Ms. Rogers will implement
applicable best management practices during construction. Ms. Rogers' septic permit does not
trigger a geotech, as her site is between 18%-20%. The soils are well draining and the disturbed
area for the septic system will be immediately reseeded and native vegetation will be preserved
in all other areas. Based on our available data, Ms. Rogers' site, proposed development, and
analysis from the geohazard checklist I find that the standards for a geotechnical report waiver,
under Jefferson County Code 18.22.370, have been satisfied.

Environmentally Sensitive Area, Applicant(s) acknowledge and agree as follows:
1. Applicant(s) desire to construct a new septic system and single-family residence. The
Property is located within a Geologically Hazardous Area with a slight Landslide
Hazard Area and seismic hazard. Applicant(s) agree that they are fully aware of the
risks inherent in development in a Geologically Hazardous Area, slight Landslide
Hazard Are, and seismic hazard.
2. Applicant(s), as their own free and voluntary act, accept, and assume all risks of loss or
damage arising out of the conditions described herein and further agree to relieve

enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability; all other terms shall remain in full force and effect.
5. All associated permits must be obtained or development must be substantially started
within one-year from the effective date of this Waiver. If this condition is not met, the
Waiver shall be void.
6. Development and associated permits must substantially comply with the Exhibit "A"
