Dear Ms. Hoskins:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the revised prethreshold consultation for the Discovery Bay
Golf Club PRRD and Long Plat project (MLA 05-00286), located at 7401 Cape George Road in Port
Townsend, as proposed by Jerry Smith. The Department of Ecology (Ecology) reviewed the
environmental checklist and has the following comment(s):
WATER QUALITY: Betsy Dickes (360) 407-6294
Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of
Chapter 90.48, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water Quality Standards for Surface
Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action.
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 storm drains that lead to waters of the state. Sand, silt, clay particles,
and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants.
Proper disposal of construction debris must be on land in such a manner that debris cannot enter the
wetlands, streams, natural stormwater drainage patterns or cause water quality degradation of state
waters.
Coverage under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination system (NPDES) and State Waste
Discharge General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities is
required for construction sites which disturb an area of one acre or more and which have or will have
a discharge of stormwater to surface water or a storm sewer. An application can be downloaded from
Ecology's website at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/#Application or
you can contact Joyce Smith at (360) 407-6858 for an application form.
Soil in stockpiles should be stabilized or protected with sediment-trapping measures to prevent soil
loss. All exposed areas of final grade or areas that are not scheduled for work, whether at final grade
or otherwise, shall not remain exposed and un-worked for more than two days, between October 1
and April 30. Between May 1 and September 30, no soils shall remain exposed and un-worked for
more than 7 days.
Clearing limits and/or any easements or required buffers should be identified and marked in the field,
prior to the start of any clearing, grading, or construction. Some suggestet: ~&i~ .s4tking and
flagging or high visibility fencing. ,I t:M

All temporary erosion control systems should be designed to contain the runoff from the developed
two year, 24-hour design storm without eroding.
Provision should be made to minimize the tracking of sediment by construction vehicles onto paved
public roads. If sediment is deposited, it should be cleaned every day by shoveling or sweeping.
Water cleaning should only be done after the area has been shoveled out or swept.
Wash water from paint and wall fmishing equipment should be disposed of in a way which will not
adversely impact waters of the state. Untreated disposal of this wastewater is a violation 'of State
Water Quality laws and statutes and as such, would be subject to enforcement action.
Ecology's comments are based upon the information provided with the SEPA checklist. As such, they do
not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements
that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments please contact the appropriate
reviewing staff listed above.
