Note to File for Tim Wilkins/Indicanna
(360) 437-8003. I Left message with CJ Riley asking if he is in charge of the site clearing, that complaints have been coming in about clearing in excess of 7000 s.f. I asked if he
still has business plans for this property.
(206) 380-7345. Called Tim Wilkins. Tim reports that they hired an experienced tree company to cut trees by hand with chainsaws. Tim reports the tree company told him they cut about
1500-1700 board feet of trees.
Tim reports that they cleared brush from the areas already cleared last year for a place to put the timber.
Tim reports that the “NEW” area cleared is less than 7000 s.f. and is trying to make a distinction between old clearing area and new clearing area, as if only newly cleared area is
of consequence.
I told Tim that I was very clear with him that ANY clearing must be outside of the wetland buffers and that ANY clearing could not exceed 7000 s.f. without a stormwater permit.
Tim redirects the conversation to other topics so I asked Tim how much clearing has occurred outside of the buffer—he replied a little less than an acre, and adds that he’s finished
with the clearing for the site. However, he said his workers are still on site.
I suggested that Tim contact the workers on site and tell them to cease any more clearing—Tim agreed to do so. I told Tim that he is in violation for clearing without a stormwater permit
and he needs to communicate with Michael Anderson to submit the stormwater permit application ASAP. I told Tim he is exposed again—Tim responded that he is trying to do things right.
He agreed to get a stormwater permit application into our office as soon as possible.
