County commissioners hear more
testimony on Buechel dock permit
By COLIN HOWSER
Once again, Rick Buechel of
Union must wait for a decision
f'mn {he Mason County Commis-
sioners on his proposed shoreline
permit tbr a 10-slip private com-
mercial dock at 5561 State Route
106 on Hood Canal.
The commissioners have given
Buechel until the 7:30 p.m. Octo-
ber 26 meeting to develop a re-
vised plan for his dock, but said
he didn't need to go through the
permit process again.
Shellfish harvesters' concerns
are that the Washington Depart-
ment of Health (DOH) will decer-
tiI the shellfish beaches if the
marina is approved.
IF THE DOCK is classified as
a marina, which means it can
moor 11 or more boats, the DOH
will decertify a quarter-mile ra-
dius from that area for shellfish
harvesting. A marina is also re-
quired to have a pump-out sta-
tion, unlike a dock.
Grace Miller, senior planner
with the Department of Commu-
nity Development, said the CDC
staff recommends denial of the
proposed dock because it violates
provisions ofthe Shellfish Protec-
tion Districts, the Lower Hood
Canal Watershed Management
Plan, the Shoreline Management
Act and the Shoreline Master
Program.
"Approval of this permit appli-
cation," Miller read from a state-
ment, "with the design as submit-
ted by the applicant, will result in
automatic closure of the shellfish
harvesting in the area."
Miller said if the commission-
ers approve the dock, Buechel
should agree to certain condi-
tions, such as reducing the project
size to satisfy DOH requirements,
posting bond with the county to
pay for any future damage to the
shellfish beds and agreeing to a
shoreline permit loss and closing
his marina if he violates any con-
ditions.
ROB JOHNSON, Buechel's
attorney, said Buechel is being
accused of violating his permi be-
fore he receives it. He said the
county shouldn't talk of such
items as bonds and permit revo-
cations.
"I've never seen that before in
most county permits," Johnson
said. "Somebody comes in and
asks to build a house and, 'Well,
your house has ,to be torn down if
the septic system leaks or if
there's a violation.'"
Johnson said he has represent-
ed shellfish companies, and the
shellfish in the area would not be
permanently harmed by one boat
with a fuel leak.
"You move them and they
clean themselves in a period of
weeks," Johnson said. "Once you
stop the pollution and get rid of
the offending boat and there's no
more pollution, they'll clean
themselves out."
RUSS NORRIS, who owns a
small shellfish harvesting busi-
ness that operates adjacent to the
proposed dock, said his business
will fail if the dock is built.
"As far as the oysters being
moved," Norris said, "we cannot...
clean those oysters. They are pol-
luted with heavy metals from the
gasoline and oil that leaks out of
the boats.
"This will affect me, some of
my employees and their families,"
Norris explained. "I'm not trying
to say that somebody shouldn't be
able to use their property for
something they want, but if it af-
fects somebody else .then we
should take a look at it."
Commissioner Mary Jo Cady
said if the dock is considered a
dock and not a marina, then it
wouldn't affect the shellfish har-
vesters.
"UNTIL THEY have a
problem," Norris countered.
"Then I'm going to be shut down
immediately. These people won't
be shut down, I will."
Commissioner John Bolender
said the proposed 10-slip dock
looks as if it could hold more than
10 boats and that he would like
Buechel to try and scale it down
in size so it would be better classi-
fied as a dock. "In looking at this
plan, would an ordinary, reason-
able person conclude that that
proposal is capable of mooring
more than 10 boats?" he asked.
"Well, the restriction on the
permit would not permit that,"
Johnson said. "It would be a vio-
lation of the Shoreline Manage-
ment Act to use the facility like
that." Johnson said there is
"always the potential for someone
to violate the law," but that
doesn't mean Buechel will violate
any laws.
Bolender said the dock meets
the requirements of a marina as
it is proposed.
"THERE ARE only 10 slips
proposed in the project," Bolender
said, "but it appears that the proj-
ect could accommodate more than

10 pleasure crafts." He also said
that Buechel will be charging
boaters for use of the dock, which
he feels is inconsistent with the
definition of a dock.
Cady disagreed with Bolender.
"I think you're presupposing that
somebody's going to break the
law," she said to Bolender, "and I
don't think that's appropriate."
Cady and Bolender agreed that
a redesigned dock which was
physically restricted from having
more than 10 boats would be ac-
ceptable.
Buechel said he would revise
the dock plan to meet that re-
quirement and present it to the
board on October 26.

10 pleasure crafts." He also said
that Buechel will be charging
boaters for use of the dock, which
he feels is inconsistent with the
definition of a dock.
Cady disagreed with Bolender.
"I think you're presupposing that
somebody's going to break the
law," she said to Bolender, "and I
don't think that's appropriate."
Cady and Bolender agreed that
a redesigned dock which was
physically restricted from having
more than 10 boats would be ac-
ceptable.
Buechel said he would revise
the dock plan to meet that re-
quirement and present it to the
board on October 26.

KEN BENJAMIN, Street
Reach director for Mason County,
adds that Bread Basket Minis-
tries is the perfect place to donate
surplus from late-summer vege-
table gardens.
"We are blessed in this area
with healthy gardens," he said.
"Some families are unprepared
for their bounteous bumper crops.
We will be glad to take donations
of fresh vegetables." Volunteers
will freeze them for use later as
part of nutritious meals for those
in need during winter months, he
explained.
