Description:

|
Fred Hill Material Inc. (FHM) leases from Pope Resources who owns the 72,000 acre Hood Canal Tree Farm. FHM mineral extraction and processing areas (referred to as the Shine Hub) totals 144 acres and is designated a Mineral Resource Overlay District (MRL).
The current proposal by FHM is to add 10 acres of additional mineral extraction area (pit area) adjacent to the Shine Hub. This would bring the total area to 164 acres currently regulated under a DNR Reclamation permit. This area has been logged by Pope Resources through Forest Practice Application (FPA). The additional pit area is located in a Commercial Forest designation, where mining is a permitted activity provided that no more than 10 acres is disturbed at any one time. Disturbed area is defined by RCW 78.44.031(5) and is determined by the WA State Department of Natural Resources through their Reclamation Permit.
The current mineral extraction is occurring in the western portions of Segments G & H, where a good deposit of gravel has been located. This area is located behind a berm near the southern portion of the Shine Hub. The proposed expansion (Segments L & M) are located southwest of Segments G & H. There is a large ridge located to the south and east of this area. The extraction would start from the east and proceed to the west and would remove typically 20 to 80 feet of material. There would be a minimum of 10 feet of vertical separation from the finished grade to the seasonal high groundwater table (see cross sectional map for more details). After the area is mined stored topsoil would be spread over the area, forest debris spread over the area, a cover crop established, and then replanted with Douglas Fir for the subsequent use for timber production. It is anticipated that Segments L & M would be reclaimed in approximately one year.
Jefferson County has a Stormwater Permit to review and is the lead agency for the environmental review of the proposal under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Jefferson County anticipates issuing a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) for this proposal.
The threshold determination for this proposal incorporates the Final Modified MDNS issued for Ace Paving Conditional Use Application (ZON 98-41) within the 144 acre mineral extraction and processing area, which was issued by Jefferson County DCD on June 1, 1999.
Documents reference in this notice may are available at the http://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/commdevelopment/FHMhome.htm or are available for review at the Jefferson County DCD during office hours.
The applicant will require an amended WA State DNR Reclamation Permit and possibly an amended NPDES General Sand and Gravel permit from the WA State Department of Ecology.
