Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your
proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization
or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental
impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants: [help]
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult
with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or
"does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown.
You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate
answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-
making process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of
time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant
adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to
make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents.

Residential
Overwater Structure
Guidance
for
Mason Lake
Washington
Department
of
Fish
and
Wildlife
Hydraulic Project Approval Requirements
Mason Lake provides essential habitat to various fish species including;
Brown bullhead, Kokanee,
Largemouth bass, Northern pikeminnow, Rainbow trout, Yellow perch, Coho, Steelhead, and Chum.
Due to the diversity of fish species and number of structures in the lake, it is important that
replacement and new structures are built to minimize impacts to their habitat while also maximizing
your recreational use benefit. For more information on the relationship between fish and overwater
structures: https://www.govlink.org/watersheds/8/action/greenshorelines/Dockfactsheet2012.pdf.
Along with Mason County permitting, you will need a State Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife
permit called a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA).
To apply for a WDFW HPA permit go to: https://wdfw.wa.gov/licenses/environmental/hpa

WDFW REQUIREMENTS FOR REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF DOCKS, PIERS,
RAMPS, FLOATS
Definition:
To be considered a repair or a replacement there must be no changes to the size,
configuration, or dimensions of the existing structure and associated components. The
structure
must
have
been
usable
at
the
site
within
the
past
twelve months,
prior to
application
submittal,
to
be
considered
a replacement
structure.
Usable
means
no
major
deterioration
or
loss
of
critical
structural
components.
Grating:
The department will require solid decked piers and docks come into compliance with grating
requirements if more than minimal deck boards are being replaced.
In water bodies with a high density of piers and docks, the department may require that
grating cover entire deck surface of the pier or dock. Mason Lake has a high density of docks,
so 100% grating will be required with 60% open space.
60% open space = 60%
of
the
light
at
the
location
must
reach
beneath
the
pier.
SteelDek
Eco
series
(xccent
marina
decking)
is
an
example
of
a
decking
product
on
the current
market
that
provides
60%
open
space.
2
Structural:
Repair and replacement of framing and structural components (e.g. caps, stringers) with
approved materials is allowed.
Do not use wood treated with oil-type preservatives (creosote, pentachlorophenol) in any
hydraulic project. You may use wood treated with waterborne preservatives (ACZA, ACQ)
provided the wood is approved by the Western Wood Preservers Institute for use in the
aquatic environment. Any use of treated wood in the aquatic environment must follow
guidelines and best management practices available at www.wwpinstitute.org.
Skirting
should
be
completely
removed
or
at
least
lessened.
Vertical
fenders
may
be
installed
if
boat
safety
is
a
concern
(with
a minimum
spacing
of
4-feet
on
center).
Piling:
Existing
piles
may
be
repaired
by
sleeving,
splicing,
and/or
stubbing.
Each pile may be sleeved only once.
The diameter of sleeved piles must be no more than three inches greater than the diameter of
the existing piles.
The
use
of
creosote
or
pentachlorophenol
piling
is
prohibited.
Replacement
piling
can
be
steel,
concrete,
recycled
plastic,
and/or
untreated
or department-approved
treated
wood.
WDFW REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW

Pilings:
3
Steel
piling
used
to
construct
residential
docks
should
not
exceed
6
inches
in diameter.
Limit
the
diameter
of
steel
piling
used
to
construct
public recreational
docks
to
the
minimum
width
needed
to
accommodate
the intended
use.
The
use
of
creosote
or
pentachlorophenol
piling
is
prohibited.
New
and replacement
piling
can
be
steel,
concrete,
recycled
plastic,
and/or
untreated
or department-approved
treated
wood.
Piles
should
be
6
to
8-inches
in
diameter.
Joint-use
piers
may
install
10-inch diameter

Larger
diameter
pilings
may
be
allowed
in
situations
when
a qualified
engineer
can
document
the
need
for
structural
stability
of
the
pier and/or
safe
moorage
of
large
boats/vessels.
Pile
spacing:
12
to
18
feet.
Treated
wood
piling
must
incorporate
design
features
to
minimize
abrasion of
the
piling
from
contact
with
vessels,
floats,
or
other
objects.
All
pilings
which
provide
such
opportunity
(e.g.
mooring
and
float
pilings)
must
be
fitted
with
devices
to
prevent
perching
by
fish-eating
birds.
Floats:
Piers
must
extend
far
enough
from
the
shoreline
so
floats
do
not
impact juvenile
salmonid
migration,
feeding,
and
rearing
areas.
Grounding
of
floats is
approved
in
reservoirs
and
impoundments
only
at
times
of
the
year
when the
water
level
is
dropped.
Fully
enclose
and
contain
flotation
for
the
structure
in
a
shell
(tub)
or
20
-
25 mm
polyethylene
or
polyurethane
wrap.
The
shell
or
wrap
must
prevent breakup
or
loss
of
the
flotation
material
into
the
water.
The
shell
or
wrap must
not
be
readily
subject
to
damage
by
ultraviolet
radiation
and
abrasion.
Limit
the
width
of
residential
ramps
to
four
feet
wide.
Limit
the
width
of public
recreational
ramps
to
the
minimum
width
needed
to
accommodate
the intended
use.
Cover
the
entire
ramp
surface
with
grating.
Embedded
anchor(s)
or
other
approved
anchor(s)
or
piling
may
hold
floats
in place.
Mitigation
for new docks for expansions
(In
order
of
WDFW
preference)
Reduce
the
size
of
the
structure.
Remove
derelict
piling,
piers,
docks,
and/or
floats.
Shoreline
softening:
removal
of
hard
shorelines
(rock,
rip
rap,
and/or
concrete
bulkheads
or
bank
protection
and
replacement
with
beach
coves, sloped
shorelines
that
include
native
plantings
and
large
wood
to
stabilize and
protect
slopes.
Full
planting
plan
(five
trees
and
seven
shrubs) for a new pier. Two tree and three scrubs for
pier modifications (such as adding on additional fingers or a smaller section, large
modification can require a full planting plan).
Gravel
placement
(if
appropriateusually
only
for
anadromous
lakes)
Must
be
placed
during
the
approved
in-water
work
window.
Typically
require
25
cubic
yards
per
50
linear
feet
of
shoreline; however,
USACE
has
a
threshold
at
25
cubic
yards,
so
this
may
be a
reasonable
amount
to
benefit
fish
life
but
not
push
them
into additional
permitting.
Outside
of
sockeye
spawning
areas,
we
recommend
a
1-inch
minus mix
(100%
less
than
1
inch,
85%
less
than
0.5
inch,
and
40%
less than
0.25
inch).
Removal of
trash,
debris,
etc.
(e.g.
15
or
20
cubic
yards
with
photo documentation,
removed
during
the
approved
in-water
work
window).
