Dear Donna Frostholm:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the optional determination of
nonsignificance/notice of application for the BDN LLC Geoduck Farm Project (MLA19-00036,
SDP2019-00008) located at 1160 Shine Road as proposed by BDN, LLC. The Department of
Ecology (Ecology) reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s):
SHORELANDS & ENVIRONMENTAL ASSISTANCE:
Rebecca Rothwell, Wetlands/Shorelands Specialist (360) 407-7273
Because more than three years have elapsed since the last eelgrass bed delineation, a new
complete eelgrass delineation survey should be conducted and submitted to the county for
review prior to permit issuance.
The SEPA checklist states that project construction will begin immediately upon issuance of
Jefferson County Shoreline Conditional Use Permit. Please note that other permits may be
required as well, such as Clean Water Act Section 401 and 404 permits. All required permits
must be complete before project construction begins.
WATER QUALITY/WATERSHED RESOURCES UNIT:
Jessica Eakens (360) 407-0246
Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or construction.
These control measures must be effective to prevent stormwater runoff from carrying soil
and other pollutants into surface water or stormdrains that lead to waters of the state. Sand,
silt, clay particles, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants.
Any discharge of sediment -laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in
violation of Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water
Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to
enforcement action.
