Date: January 21, 2003
To: Mayor Wiggins and City Councilmembers
Collins, Community Development Director ~
From:
Brad
Subject: Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA) 18 Watershed Plan Recommendations
Much of the following information was provided to the City Council on September 21, 2002, with
earlier drafts of the EMMT recommendations for a regional watershed plan. The current draft
recommendations were provided under separate cover last week for the Council's review prior to the work
session. The purpose of the Council work session is give the Councilmembers the opportunity to ask
questions and gain an understanding of proposed policies that will guide local, tribal, and state jurisdictions
on water management issues including water supply, water quality, fish habitat, and in-stream flow. Those
jurisdictions participating in this watershed planning process included Clallam County, the Agnew Irrigation
District, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, the City of Sequim, the Clallam County
PUD, the Dry Creek Water District, the Department of Ecology, and many interested stakeholders and private
citizens as well as the City of Port Angeles.
Per State legislation Bill 2514, jurisdictions in the Elwha-Dungeness River Basins are preparing a
watershed plan, which will be binding on those jurisdictions that participate. As an initiating government,
the City of Port Angeles can veto any part of this plan which they do not want adopted. This planning
process, which has been going on for over three years already, is scheduled to be completed in June 2003.
Deputy Mayor Orville Campbell, Councilmember Lauren Erickson, and Community Development Director
Brad Collins have been the primary City representatives for the Western WRIA 18 Planning Unit, known as
the Elwha-Morse Management Team or EMMT.
The process for final comment and adoption is still unclear but will likely take place in May and June.
However, Council concerns on the draft recommendations need to be raised in the next few months if issues
are to be resolved before we get to adoption and/or veto of the policy recommendations in the region's
watershed plan that will affect the City's water supply and stormwater management programs. The Council
reviewed and commented on the Morse Creek recommendations about a year ago, but the recommendations
are dynamic based on input for the multitude of participants, which include many citizen interest caucuses
as well. Based on comments like those from the City Council, a final set of watershed plan policy
recommendations will prepared for public hearing and adoption by all the participating jurisdictions.

WATERSHED PLAN DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS CHEAT SHEET - 1/21/03
1. Deputy Mayor Campbell and Community Development Director reviewed the draft
recommendations for correlation to seven major City interests, for policy conflicts where
a City veto or substitute wording may be desired, and for funding concerns. Accordingly,
a number of draft recommendations can be highlighted.
2. The draft recommendations are incomplete, duplicated in one draft version or another,
and not in a defined order at this point. Although confusing, remember that there will be
other chances to review the Watershed Plan recommendations before final adoption.
3. This work session is a second reading to allow for input in the draft language and to help
the Council get an understanding now rather than at a time closer to adoption which is
scheduled for May and June. Therefore, we don't need to be overly concerned about
something missing, with wordsmithing, or vetoing at this time.
4. The pages have a variety of numbering and titles, which only lend to the disorganization
in the draft at this time. The consultant expects to have a more complete draft next
month, but staff has been delaying this work session since September and needs direction
for the remaining four EMMT meetings. As we proceed with the work session, the pages
will be assigned numbers and titles for easier reference.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 17, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Brad Collins, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: WATERSHED PLAN ISSUES
Summary: The EMMT Watershed Plan recommendations raise a number of issues. Staffhas
:summarized below those that affect City interests. Since the City Council does not have to
approve or veto any of the recommendations at this time, discussion should focus on directions
that City representatives may provide to other EMMT participants. In general, the Watershed
Plan supports the City's water supply interests and encourages reduced stormwater impacts.
Recommendation: City Council direct the EMMT representatives of the City on thc issues
of regional water supply, in-stream flow policies and/or requirements, stormwater management,
and stream-specific conservation measures.
Background / Analysis: The following issues are ordered by declining significance to City
interests (i.e., that is the first is the most important).
1. Protection of the City's water supply - The City of Port Angeles has the largest water right for
municipal purposes in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 18, which includes the Elwha and
Dungeness River Basins. The Watershed Management Act (2514) provides for the establishment
of minimum in-stream flows that'may limit future water rights. Although the law respects the City's
senior water right, junior water rights could be curtailed or withheld once minimum flows for in-
stream uses are approved. In some ways, curtailment of new water rights may favor a greater
dependence on the City's water supply for regional use, particularly future growth, consistent with
the Growth Management Act (GMA).
2. Approval of in-stream flow policies - See analysis of Issue #1.
3. Provision of water for future growth - See analysis of Issue #1.
4. Support for stormwater management - The City of Port Angeles has found it difficult to finance
stormwater improvements. The Watershed Plan recommendations support not only the importance
ofstormwater management but also basin-wide responsibility for improvements. The collaboration
of the City and the County on instituting stormwater management should help to facilitate
improvements necessary to protect water quality and fish habitat, particularly in the small urban
streams traversing the City from thc mountains to the ocean.,
Watershed Plan Issues
January 17, 2003
Page 2 ,
5. Protection of water quality and fish habitat, particularly for endangered species - Actions of the
City of Port Angeles both to protect water quality and to prevent harm to fish habitat are
requirements for public health and conservation under state and federal laws. The City of Port
Angeles has numerous local ordinances instituting development regulations already in place to
accomplish these public mandates. The Watershed Plan expands and coordinates policy support for
these local, state, and federal laws.
6. Preservation of public and private investments - The City of Port Angeles provides safeguards
to existing public improvements and private properties in its local ordinances, including the critical
areas protection ordinances. The interpretations of some of the recommendations could jeopardize
existing facilities such as the Olympic Discovery Trail and existing private developments such as
the Four Seasons Ranch subdivision. Attention to the language needs to be given to avoid the
possibility that Watershed Plan policies will not result in the taking of property.
7. Regional cooperation on water resource management - See analysis of Issues # 1 and #4.

EMMT Watershed Council & Technical Committee Draft Recommendation New Format
Last Updated September 12, 2002
Watershed Council and Technical Committee
DRAFT Recommendations for EMMT
Watershed Mana_clement
Issue: The successful implementation of the Watershed Plan will depend on locally
committed and focused groups who can actively work to maintain the level of attention
necessary at a "grass roots" level, to complement and support the work being done by
the Watershed Council.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The Watershed Councils have the principle
planning responsibility for the major streams and rivers within WRIA 18. The DP, MT acts
as the Watershed Council for the Dungeness River; EMMT acts as the Watershed
Council for the sub-basins from Morse Creek west to the Elwha River. Sub-basin groups
currently exist for Siebert, Valley and Ennis Creeks. These groups have been involved
in promoting an understanding of their particular watershed and in working with their
Watershed Council (e.g. EMMT) to share information, publicize events, and preserve
visibility.
Desired Outcome:
Recommendations:
· EMMT: The Elwha-Morse Management Team (EMMT) Executive Committee should
be convened to initiate the implementation of this recommendation within three
months of the adoption of the Watershed Plan.
· Watershed Council Make up: The Watershed Council should be comprised of a
cross section of participants from Federal, Tribal, State, County, and City
governments, water purveyors, the public, nonprofit and citizen groups involved in
the restoration or management of West WRIA 18 streams, and other watershed
stakeholders.
· Technical Committee Makeup: The Technical Committee should function as an
advisory panel to the Watershed Council. It should be an ad hoc group of regional
biologists and watershed scientists with primary concern for the Elwha River, Morse
Creek and the Port Angeles area urban independent drainages. Other scientists with
expertise in related technical matters should be included as needed. An open, self-
selecting recruitment may be used to obtain the widest range and availability of
qualified technical panelists. Much of the communication among panelists and
Watershed Council would be written, using e-mail as a preferred medium. The role
of technical panelists would include the following:
EMMT Watershed Council & Technical Committee Draft Recommendation New Format
Last Updated September 12, 2002
· Review and interpret technical data as needed for Watershed Council
· Provide independent analysis of options for Watershed Council watershed
recommendations
· Check the accuracy and quality of information in documents under Watershed
Council review
· When requested, propose projects or assessments responsive to needs
identified by Watershed Council
· Explain regulations and science related to matters before Watershed Council
· Provide technical ranking of options or projects under consideration by
Watershed Council
· Assist Watershed Council in understanding current limiting factors in West
WRIA 18 watersheds
· Coordinate through Clallam County with the Shared Strategy
· Coordinate on Elwha River restoration through the National Park Service and
other involved agencies, tribes and interests.
· Geographic Area: The boundaries for the West WRIA 18 Watershed Council should
extend from the western boundary of East WRIA 18 (the Morse Creek eastern
watershed boundary) to the eastern boundary of WRIA 19 (the Elwha River western
watershed boundary).
· Fundinq: The participating governments should pursue funding to coordinate and
maintain this effort. Joint funding should be pursued for any projects or habitat
improvements recommended in the course of watershed management.
· Advisory Status: The Watershed Council and Technical Committee should be
advisory in nature and should not have regulatory powers apart from those held by
individual government/agency members, except as the member agencies grant it.
· Focus: The Watershed Council should focus efforts on issues including instream
flows, stormwater management, water quality, habitat conditions for salmonids and
other wildlife species, and land use practices along the West WRIA 18 drainages. All
salmonid enhancement work and habitat review of major projects should be
coordinated with the North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity Group.
· Annual Report: An annual report should be prepared summarizing the Watershed
Council's activities and recommendations. The results of all research should be
incorporated into the river data management system used by the Watershed
Council
· Outreach: Public outreach and education should be considered a vital component of
the watershed management effort. The Watershed Council should work with the

Last Updated September 12, 2002
agencies providing permits for river work to develop a user-friendly system which
would allow for habitat improvement projects.
· Habitat Manaqement Planninq: The Technical Committee should develop for
Watershed Council consideration a comprehensive habitat management plan for
each West WRIA 18 drainage, taking into account the natural, historical processes
which have and are occurring on the river systems. The plan should include:
· Comprehensive habitat inventories;
· Description of needed restoration and enhancement and the potential benefits
to each creek or river and its community;
· Identification of the most critical sections of each creek or river for restoration
including what projects are needed and their estimated results, costs and
benefits;
· Identification of the relationship of habitat plans to fish and stock recovery
efforts;
· Recommended changes in local critical areas, flood control, and land use
ordinances related to habitat and salmonid needs;
· Recommended monitoring and adaptive management.
· Perpetual updates: Based on the habitat management plan, the Watershed Council
should update watershed planning policies or standards for habitat improvement or
development projects in each creek or river, in conjunction with permitting entities.
EMMT Watershed Council & Technical Committee Draft Recommendation New Format
Last Updated September 12, 2002
Watershed Groups
Issue: Local watershed groups provide the means to make a difference.
Existing Condition: The DRMT and EMMT are the only "sanctioned" watershed
groups recognized by local and state agencies. There is a commonly acknowledged
need for additional watershed groups to provide leadership and coordination in
watershed planning and restoration efforts.
Desired Outcome: The DRMT and EMMT will promote and encourage the formation of
local watershed groups for the sub-basins of WRIA 18 by providing resources, training,
funding information, materials and documents and other appropriate and necessary
tools. DRMT and EMMT will partner with such grounds as Streamkeepers, local
residents, local government, tribes, economic interests, school groups and other
stakeholders to encourage and nurture active participation in the sub-basins of West
WRIA 18. These local watershed groups will be volunteer-based and will work with the
Watershed Council's to maintain ownership, responsibility and accountability at the sub-
basin/local level.
Recommendations:
Recognize local groups: Local and state agencies will recognize local watershed
groups as legitimate stakeholders in watershed planning, by making funding technical
assistance and oversight expertise available to them.
INSTREAM FLOW
· WEST WRIA 18 WIDE ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION: Year-round closure of all
lowland small streams in West WRIA 18 is recommended. Minimum flows for new water
rights should be established based on biological potential <include table?>.
WATER QUALITY
Review water quality monitoring data at least every five years. Evaluate the effectiveness of
City and County ordinances and regulations, including stormwater management plans, based on
monitoring data review. Revise ordinances, regulations, and stormwater management planning
as needed based on this review. Initiate cleanup and stream restoration based on water quality
sampling results. Initiate new research where a need is indicated by sampling results; for
example, effects on stormwater runoff on estuarine and nearshore marine environments.
Collect water quality monitoring data at least quarterly sufficient to evaluate water temperature
and contaminants in sediments and the water column. Assess contributions from point sources,
such as pipes, and nonpoint sources, such as road runoff; landfill leachate; landslides; land
clearing and development; septic systems; wild and domestic animal populations, including any
livestock operations; residential lawn maintenance; irrigated fields, including parks and golf
courses; forest practices; and weed control. Include monitoring of estuarine and nearshore
marine environments where these may be affected by upland activities. Maintain monitoring
consistent with source potential for ongoing impacts.
Interaction Between Septic and Wellhead Zones of Control
Issue: Zones of control are required around septic systems and wellheads.
When a septic system is put in or a well is drilled, an effective restriction is placed
on activities within the pertinent zone of control. These zones may cross
boundaries to neighboring parcels, constraining the ability of neighbors to use or
develop their land. This problem cannot be alleviated by the strategy of drilling to
deeper aquifers for groundwater supply.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The Washington Department of
Health (DOH) requires a 100-foot radius of control around public water supply
wellheads; the Department of Ecology requires a 100-foot setback for private
wells. Clallam County enforces setbacks for Group B water systems when
reviewing and approving building permits. For exempt wells drilled by private
individuals, the County looks only at whether a well water supply exists, not
whether the well is appropriately located relative to existing septic systems, or
where the new septic is located relative to existing wells. Typically wells are
drilled before the County receives a building permit application. The Washington
Department of Health states that no delegation authority is needed to empower
the Clallam County Environmental Health Department to regulate well drilling.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· Clallam County should exercise oversight on well drilling in three dimensions:
on ground surface to assure that wells are located with proper setbacks to
assure wellhead protection and allow development on neighboring parcels,
and at depth to direct well drilling to deeper aquifers where hydraulic
continuity is an issue.
· Needed authorities, if any, should be delegated.
· Funding for the program should be secured.
Recommendations:
New land division:
· Clallam County should enact an ordinance requiring the locations of wells and
septic systems to be shown on building permits, and making the use of wells
and septics subject to subdivision and building permit approval.
· Require sufficient wellhead setback from property lines to accommodate a
100-foot radius zone of control.
· Require an easement on neighboring properties for wellhead setbacks
that do not meet the 100-foot requirement.
· Clallam County should enforce new requirements by denying building permits
with wells or septics that are not properly set back.
· The Departments of Ecology and Health should jointly implement regulations,
in consultation with the well drillers technical advisory committee, requiring
well drillers to check with the County before drilling.
· Incorporate minimum setbacks into zoning code "bulk requirements"
Existing land division:
· Clallam County should enact an ordinance requiring the locations of wells and
septic systems to be shown on building permits and requiring well drillers to
obtain County approval before drilling new wells.
· Require sufficient wellhead setback from property lines to accommodate a
100-foot radius zone of control.
· Require an easement on neighboring properties for wellhead setbacks
that do not meet the 100-foot requirement.
· An aggressive public information and education program should be launched
to explain to the public the need for these regulations and their substance.
· The key message should be: "don't drill before you permit."
· Targets include realtors, title companies and well drillers.
· Where setbacks cannot be met, every effort should be made to connect to
public water service.
Well database: Clallam County should enter well data into a three-dimensional
database, integrating georeferenced groundwater withdrawal data compiled for
the ground model in East WRIA 18 and the Ecology well data base. Show well
location on ground surface relative to setbacks for wellhead protection and
existing septic system zones of control, and at depth relative to known aquifers.
· An inventory should be conducted of parcels under existing land division that
would have trouble meeting setback requirements
Collaborative action: Clallam County, the Department of Ecology and the
Department of Health should join in a coordinated program to enforce and fund
management of this problem.
· Authorities to pursue this program should be clearly determined before
proceeding. Any authorities that require delegation should be so delegated.
· Funding for the program should be cooperatively sought.
LAND USE
· Industrial Site Management: Where industrial sites and landfills exist, the City and County
should follow the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) process to evaluate and clean them up.
Investigate pollution sources such as leaching from landfills or toxic migration from industrial
sites. Establish a baseline through water quality (including sediment) monitoring as
recommended above. Conduct sampling and base cleanup actions and standard on sampling
results and the outcomes of the MTCA process. To the extent feasible consistent with
planned future site use, clean sites to a "unrestricted future use" standard.
EDUCATION
· Encourage the development of school curricula, continuing education for professionals, and
general adult education with the following objectives:
· Understanding of stream, riparian and watershed ecological functions and services at a level
appropriate to the target audience. Focus on limiting factors, properly functioning conditions,
and how these are affected by drivers of change in West WRIA 18.
· Information on actions that can be taken to conserve and wisely use stream, riparian and
watershed natural resources. Include options for non-polluting and water-conserving
approaches to lawn maintenance, the management of golf courses, parks, and pasture,
timber or other agricultural or silvicultural lands; Best Management Practices for erosion
control and sediment management on both developed and undeveloped lands, including
roads.

LAND USE
Draft Recommendations for DRMT
Land Conversions
Issue: Conversion of existing forest and agricultural land for development can
affect impervious surface and stormwater runoff, aquifer recharge and instream
flows, surface and ground water quality, and habitat quantity and quality.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The following land use plans and
development implementing regulations bear on land conversions (see Chapter 1,
Section 1.3.4):
· City and County Comprehensive Plans
· City and County zoning codes, particularly "non-conforming use" sections
· City and County critical areas and environmentally sensitive areas
ordinances
· City and County land division codes
(any data on land COnverSion rates?)
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: to be developed
DQ Recommendations
· DQ Recommendation C.4.1: Conversion of agricultural land requires land use
reevaluation to provide for efficient water uses.
Recommendations:
Updated: November ~ 3, 2002 Page I
WRIA 18 Watershed Plan Draft Recommendations Land Use
Growth in River Corridors
Issue: Growth in river corridors can result in drilling multiple exempt wells in
hydraulic continuity with rivers. This can affect instream flows, particularly in
critical Iow-flow periods. It also leads to actions (such as diking and bank
hardening) designed to protect human life and property that can seriously affect
river processes and degrade stream channel and riparian zone habitat (see issue
regarding development in floodplains, below).
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Projected build-out potential in WRIA
18 river corridors is shown in Table NN (Shindler output).
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: to be developed
DQ Recommendations:
· DQ Recommendation C.6.2.1: Off-stream water consumption and land use
should be managed to maintain existing flows.
Recommendations:
Updated: November 13, 2002 Page 2
WRIA 18 Watershed Plan Draft Recommendations Land Use
Sensitive Areas Protection
Issue: New development may occur in a host of environmentally sensitive
areas, such as floodplains, wetlands, critical aquifer recharge zones.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Clallam County adopted a Critical
Areas Ordinance (CCC Title 27.12) in 1999. The City of Port Angeles adopted an
Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection (Chapter 15.20) in (date; Brad;
proper way to cite City code). The City of Sequim established Environmentally
Sensitive Areas Protection within City Municipal Code (Title 18.80 of the Zoning
Code) in date.
Update:
· critical Areas Ordinance
· Wetland ordinances/policies
· planning policies
· Any dopted bylocal government?
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: Environmentally sensitive areas should be
protected from development that would inappropriately degrade natural
resources or expose human life or property to unacceptable risk.
DQ Recommendations
· DQ Recommendation C.7.1.11 (in part): The Dungeness River Restoration
Work Group should develop for DRMT consideration a comprehensive habitat
management plan. The plan should include: A recommendation for changes
in local critical areas, flood control, and land use ordinances related to habitat
and salmonid needs.
· DQ Recommendation R8.5 Condition land use activities such as newly
established agriculture and grazing, logging, road and stream crossings,
recreation, and urban and suburban development to protect and provide
wetland and riparian area functions and values.

Designation of "Critical Water Supply Service Area"
Issue: A critical water supply service area may be designated where inadequate
water quality, unreliable water service, or a lack of coordinated planning exists.
Under the Public Water System Coordination Act of 1977, this leads to
coordinated water system planning of public water system facilities, consistent
with local land use and growth management plans (see Chapter 1, Section
1.3.2).
Existing Condition and Current Actions: see further discussion under future
water supply planning.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: see further diScussion under future water
supPlY Planning.
· Recommendations: see further discussiOn under future water SUpply

WRIA 18 Boundaries
Issue: Western WRIA 17 includes Sequim Bay and its associated drainages.
These areas have historically fallen within the planning responsibility of Clallam
County and the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe (see Chapter 1, Box 3). Recognizing
that history, an Intergovernmental Agreement formalized WRIA 18 responsibility
for these areas in watershed planning. A change in WRIA boundaries would
make permanent this assignment of responsibilities.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: WRIA 18 boundaries do not include
Sequim Bay or its associated drainages (other than Bell Creek, which drains to
the northernmost portion of Sequim Bay), which all fall within Clallam County.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: WRIA 18 should include Sequim Bay and
the drainage areas for JimmyComeLately Creek, Dean Creek, Johnson Creek,
Chicken Coop Creek and other small unnamed Sequim Bay drainages within its
boundaries.
Recommendations:
· WRIA 18 Boundaries: The Washington Department of Ecology is requested to
change the boundary between WRIA 17 and WRIA 18 to include Sequim Bay
and the drainage areas for JimmyComeLately Creek, Dean Creek, Johnson
Creek, Chicken Coop Creek and other small unnamed Sequim Bay drainages
within the boundary of WRIA 18.
Updated: November 13, 2002 Page 5
WRIA 18 Watershed Plan Draft Recommendations Land Use
Road Density and Impervious Cover
Issue: When impervious cover reaches 10 to 20 percent of watershed area,
ecological stress from increased stormwater becomes apparent. Road densities
are a major component of impervious cover, particularly in areas that are not
otherwise highly developed.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Reference county Six- year Road
Plan. City road plans? Use GIS budget to calculate existing impervioUS cover?.
Watershed road assessment.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: Flexible road design standards to minimize
the addition impervious surfaces to the watershed.
DQ Recommendations:
· DQ Recommendation C.10.2A.6 (in part, proposed chanqes in strikeout): In
existing developments, road construction and irrigation systems, as well as in
future developments, the concept of mimicking nature should be utilized for
stormwater runoff and recharge, in order to restore natural hydrological
functions to small streams and wetlands ....
· Identify and seek implementation of measures to modify existing ditches,
particularly on the Agnew and Highland systems, to direct runoff into existing
natural channels rather than into ditches.

Water Quality Constraints to Land Development
Issue: In areas served by septic systems, development regulations should
take account of water quality issues; the density of new should not adversely
affect water quality. Examples include areas of high nitrate loading (e.g.,
Carlsborg Urban Growth Area), or areas where drain field loading is high.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: summarize areas of high nitrate

Water Conservation Constraints to Land Development
Issue: Development regulations provide one opportunity to encourage water
conservation methods. Water conservation methods which may be dealt with in
development regulations include landscaping policies that promote the use of
native plants with Iow water consumption and landscaping/water use
requirements for golf courses (which typically have high irrigation demands).

Development in Floodplains
Issue: Existing development in floodplains leads to actions (such as diking and
bank hardening) designed to protect human life and property that can seriously
affect river processes and degrade habitat.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: A Dungeness River Floodplain Plan
was written in 1990 and is currently being updated. Do any other river have flood
plans? Summarize development in WRIA 18floodplains- GIS info?

WRIA 18 Watershed Plan Draft Recommendations Land Use
Interaction Between Septic and Wellhead Zones of Control
Issue: Zones of control are required around septic systems and wellheads.
When a septic system is put in or a well is drilled, an effective restriction is placed
on activities within the pertinent zone of control. These zones may cross
boundaries to neighboring parcels, constraining the ability of neighbors to use or
develop their land. This problem cannot be alleviated by the strategy of drilling to
deeper aquifers for groundwater supply.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The Washington Department of
Health (DOH) requires a 100-foot radius of control around public water supply
wellheads; the Department of Ecology requires a 100-foot setback for private
wells. Clallam County enforces setbacks for Group B water systems when
reviewing and approving building permits. For exempt wells drilled by private
individuals, the County looks only at whether a well water supply exists, not
whether the well is appropriately located relative to existing septic systems, or
where the new septic is located relative to existing wells. Typically wells are
drilled before the County receives a building permit application. The Washington
Department of Health states that no delegation authority is needed to empower
the Clallam County Environmental Health Department to regulate well drilling.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· Clallam County should exercise oversight on well drilling in three dimensions:
on ground surface to assure that wells are located with proper setbacks to
assure wellhead protection and allow development on neighboring parcels,
and at depth to direct well drilling to deeper aquifers where hydraulic
continuity is an issue.
· Needed authorities, if any, should be delegated.
· Funding for the program should be secured.
Recommendations:
New land division:
· Clallam County should enact an ordinance requiring the locations of wells and
septic systems to be shown on building permits, and making the use of wells
and septics subject to building permit approval.
· Require sufficient wellhead setback from property lines to accommodate a
100-foot radius zone of control.
· Require an easement on neighboring properties for wellhead setbacks
that do not meet the 100-foot requirement.
· Clallam County should enforce new requirements by denying building permits
with wells or septics that are not properly set back.
· Department of Ecology should implement regulations requiring well drillers to
check with the County before drilling.
· Incorporate minimum setbacks into zoning code "bulk requirements"

WRIA 18 Watershed Plan Draft Recommendations Land Use
Existing land division:
· Clallam County should enact an ordinance requiring well drillers to obtain
County approval before drilling new wells.
· Require sufficient wellhead setback from property lines to accommodate a
100-foot radius zone of control.
· Require an easement on neighboring properties for wellhead setbacks
that do not meet the 100-foot requirement.
· An aggressive public information and education program should be launched
to explain to the public the need for these regulations and their substance.
· The key message should be: "don't drill before you permit."
· Targets include realtors, title companies and well drillers.
Well database: Clallam County should enter well data into a three-dimensional
database, integrating georeferenced groundwater withdrawal data compiled for
the ground model in East WRIA 18 and the Ecology well data base. Show well
location on ground surface relative to setbacks for wellhead protection and
existing septic system zones of control, and at depth relative to known aquifers.
· An inventory should be conducted of parcels under existing land division that
would have trouble meeting setback requirements
Collaborative action: Clallam County, the Department of Ecology and the
Department of Health should join in a coordinated program to enforce and fund
management of this problem.
· Authorities to pursue this program should be clearly determined before
proceeding. Any authorities that require delegation should be so delegated.
· Funding for the program should be cooperatively sought.

systems require expanded water rights to serve new connections under development in
conformity with this watershed plan and City or County comprehensive and regional planning.
Allow new ground water appropriations in hydraulic continuity with Ennis Creek within the
framework of a West WRIA 18 groundwater management plan as recommended in this
watershed plan, and in conformity with City of Port Angeles and Clallam County comprehensive
plans and critical areas ordinances.
STORMWATER
· Comprehensive Stormwater Management: Integrated City and County stormwater
management planning should be implemented as soon as possible. This should include a
stormwater management system and stormwater management program coordinated with the
Washington Department of Ecology, Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team, and Lower
Elwha Tribe.
· Review enforcement of existing City and County ordinances and regulations. Dedicate
resources as needed to assure compliance.
· Separate storm and sanitary sewer systems. Eliminate Combined Sewer Overflows to the
maximum extent possible.
· Adopt the Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team Stormwater Management Plan, and
implement the most recent Washington Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual.
· Minimize impervious surfaces: Consistent with good urban planning and transportation
engineering. For example, road density codes may be relaxed to allow smaller roads in new
developments.
· Leak detection: Regularly implement leak detection through approved
Comprehensive Water System Plans. Where such plans are not in place, identify
target pipelines and ditches and establish an ongoing leak detection program.
· Water use measurement: Measure all surface diversions and nonexempt wells
known to be in hydraulic continuity with West WRIA 18 streams.
URBAN STREAM REHABILITATION Recommendations Final Version: November 14, 2002
WEST WRIA 18 URBAN STREAM REHABII..TIATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
The West WRI^ 18 Watershed Council should develop and seek funding for
an ongoing program of urban stream rehabilitation. The program should be
coordinated with City and County stormwater management and with the
recommendations of this Watershed Plan. The urban stream rehabilitation
program should:
· Recognize and preserve high-quality, Iow-development watershed areas.
· Systematically and comprehensively evaluate stream conditions
throughout the Port Angeles urban independent drainages, building on the
2514 watershed plan.
· As warranted based on the outcomes of watershed evaluations,
aggressively rehabilitate streams where recovery of ecosystem elements
and processes is possible and sources of degradation are cost-effective
and feasible.
· Rehabilitate selected areas of urban watersheds where complete recovery
is not feasible but where well-selected efforts may yield direct
improvement, particularly on public lands.
· Improve the most degraded streams by first analyzing the acute causes of
degradation, recognizing that the potential for full biological restoration is
minimal.
· Search for upstream restoration opportunities that may benefit
downstream areas.
· In the most highly developed areas, emphasize community outreach and
education.
· Pursue a long-term goal of mimicking the full range of natural hydrology
and processes rather than simply addressing peak flows and Iow instream
flows; recognizes that the hydrologic consequences of urbanization may
not be reversed without extensive redevelopment; and focuses on feasible
goals.
· Protect localized patches of healthy riparian corridor where they occur for
their contribution to biological integrity. Recognize that their value will vary
with basin-wide urbanization. Where overall basin development is Iow to
moderate, maintain natural riparian corridors. In highly urban watersheds
combine targeted restoration projects with treatment of other factors
limiting biological integrity.

URBAN STREAM REHABILITATION Recommendations Final Version: November 14, 2002
· Develop approaches to address the unanticipated consequences of
human actions on streams arising from homeowner lawn management
and property improvements.

Education
DRAFT Recommendations for EMMT
Public Education and Conservation
Issue: There is a lack of coordinated and local natural resource oriented
education available to residents of WRIA 18.
Existing Condition: Educational efforts are spotty and not coordinated. Various
groups, organizations and agencies embark on educational programs that are
not well organized with others.
Desired Outcomes: WRIA 18 would have a clearing house for cirriculum
available for a variety of target audiences, including grades K - 12, Peninsula
College, landowners, and watershed and conservation oriented organizations.
Recommendations:
· School cirriculum: Develop school curricula, continuing education for
professionals, and public outreach for general adult education with the
following objectives:
· Stream, wetland, riparian function terminolo.qy: Develop a means to
incorporate an understanding of stream, riparian and watershed ecological
functions and services at a level appropriate to the target audience. Focus on
limiting factors, properly functioning conditions, and how drivers of change in
West WRIA 18 affect these.
· Conservation actions: Information on actions that can be taken to conserve
and wisely use stream, riparian and watershed natural resources. Include
options for non-polluting and water-conserving approaches to lawn
maintenance, the management of golf courses, parks, and pasture, timber or
other agricultural or silvicultural lands; and for Best Management Practices for
erosion control and sediment management on both developed and
undeveloped lands, including roads.
· Landowner programs: Information on services and resources available to
assist landowners in watershed resource management, such as the WSU
Extension Service, Clallam Conservation District, and Clallam County
resources.
· Encourage involvement: Involvement in ongoing planning efforts at local and
regional levels addressing all aspects of natural resources planning and
management to restore and protect watershed resources (see Chapter 1).
· Conservation Easement:s Encourage landowners to protect sensitive areas
through conservation easements, donated whenever possible. Inform
landowners of financial assistance that may be available for costs related to
obtaining conservation easements and for purchase of development rights.
Encourage the creation of private property forest, wetland, and stream
resource management plans in areas where (1) high habitat values exist or
(2) restoration is necessary to address limiting factors and create properly
functioning conditions.
Ennis Creek:
· Support efforts to involve them in planning and ongoing efforts to restore and
protect the watershed habitat.
· Support efforts to provide information to landowners about the benefits of
conservation easements.
· Support efforts to obtain funding to purchase development rights in areas that
will contribute to protection and restoration of the watershed, estuarine
environment and other parts of the ecosystem needed for the stream's
healthy functioning.
· Explore possibilities for taking advantage of Ennis Creek~s location within the
Port Angeles urban area, crossed by the Discovery Trail, and near
downtown, the City Pier, Visitor Information Center, and Feiro Marine Life
Center.
· Find ways to use Ennis Creek's history to tell a story that could help provide
insights about what a stream apparently needs if it is to stay healthy and
productive. This history includes the Y'inis Klallam village, Puget Sound
Cooperative Colony and various mills at its mouth from the 19th century
sawmill to the mill that was ready to help produce spruce airplanes before
World War I ended to Rayonier~s sophisticated chemical cellulose factory. At
minimum, interpretive signs could provide information. Interest could be
enhanced with structures and people recreating some of the area~s history.
Interpretive signs could be coordinated with others at all stream restoration
sites along the Trail.
Interpretive programs on de.qradation, restoration and protection of an urban
riparian, marine and nearshore ecosystem for the broader public::
· Neighborhood schools: Encourage the Port Angeles School District,
Peninsula College, City and County, in collaboration with the Elwha Klallam
Tribe, to seek funding for programs to use the stream's location just below
Roosevelt Middle School and Monroe Elementary to increase students~
knowledge about the watershed and to encourage them to become more
responsible stewards of riparian habitats. Any trails for these activities should
be developed in ways that will not cause problems for the creek from erosion
and sediments or encourage unsupervised uses that could increase likelihood
of damage to the environment.
· Cooperative efforts between orqanizations: Encourage the City and County,
in collaboration with the Elwha Klallam Tribe, to identify resources for
establishing cooperative programs involving such organizations as Olympic
National Park, City of Port Angeles, Clallam County, Clallam County
Economic Development Council, area Chambers of Commerce, Discovery
Trail, Feiro Marine Life Center, and service clubs in projects that would
complement their goals, such as a corridor for wildlife, greater fish production,
increased understanding of watershed values, and an environment that adds
to the region's attractiveness as a place to live and visit.
· Educational programs: Develop better educational programs for river
processes, using Pacific Woodrush seminars as a template.
· Specific messages: Messages should include not feeding migratory
waterfowl and other wildlife, and not releasing exotics into the wild.
· Enforcement efforts: Complement increased enforcement of wildlife
regulations, particularly in spawning streams.
DQ Recommendations:
R4.2.10 Establish a water resource conservation education program including
"life style" changes.
R 13.6 Develop an education program to encourage responsible use of our
rivers and other sources of recreation.
C.7.1.14 Education for riverside landowners should be considered a vital
component of the habitat management planning effort.
C.15 Implement the recommendations on education and conservation covered

Draft
3.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to the explicit general, and stream-specific, recommendations that follow in
this chapter, this plan adopts by reference the current and any future versions of the
following plans and processes (especially the recommendations deriving from these
plans and processes).
· North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity Group, Salmon Habitat Recovery Project
Strategy.
Issue: There is a continuing need to evaluate the effectiveness of all implemented
recommendations over time.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Individual actions are sometimes evaluated
to a certain extent as to the conditions they are intended to change, the success with
which the action is initiated, the degree to which the action operates as expected, and
the extent to which the action accomplishes what is intended. However, in many cases,
especially those seeking to achieve qualitative (as opposed to quantitative) results,
there is a lack of rigorous "monitoring" (evaluation, review) to determine whether or not
and how well the goals and objectives are being achieved. Further, even in cases
where this sort of evaluation is conducted, there is often no adaptive response to what
is learned through the evaluation.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: That implemented recommendations are initiated
as intended, operating as expected, and achieving the results that are expected (which
also includes understanding the conditions prior to implementing the recommendation).
And, if these outcomes aren't being achieved, there should be an adaptive response to
the circumstances such that every effort is made to make the most of the implemented
action. Therefore evaluation should include "monitoring" (in the broader sense of
quantitative wherever possible and qualitative wherever appropriate) of four sequential
levels:
1. Baseline monitoring--to establish existing conditions
prior to implementation.
2. Implementation monitoring--to confirm that the action is
established/initiated as intended.
3. Operational monitoring--to confirm that the implemented
action is operating as expected.
4. Effectiveness monitoring--to determine what results are
being achieved, to compare those results with the
intended/expected/desired results.

Recommendations;
· Implementation evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation component should be
explicitly included as part of the implementation of all recommendations. The
evaluation should be qualitative and/or quantitative, as appropriate and it should
include baseline, implementation, operational, and effectiveness evaluation as
summarized above. There should also be an explicit description of how the
evaluation will be conducted and how the results of the evaluation will be recorded
and reported.
· Adaptive implementation: Wherever feasible and appropriate, actions implemented
pursuant to this plan should incorporate a feedback component to their ongoing
evaluation. Whenever the implementation monitoring reveals that there should be
an adjustment or alteration of the action, the adjustment will be made and the
evaluation will apply to the modified action.

Water Use Data
Issue: Good data does not exist to document water use in Clallam County, either
in rural areas or in many areas served by Group A Public Water Systems.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Chapters 249-290 and 246-291 WAC
spell out Group A and B water system planning and reporting requirements.
Reporting water use is required for Group A systems and strongly implied for
Group B systems. Records are kept at Washington Department of Health.
Clallam County has 78 Group A public water systems, which are required to file
Water System Comprehensive Plans, however only a few have met these
requirements.
An existing and expanding stream gaging network is in place in WRIA 18.
Streamkeepers collect and maintain data on selected streams, Clallam County
maintains a monitoring network, and Ecology conducts quarterly well monitoring.
A wide variety of data on water use have been gathered and some of it has been
geographically integrated through the Clallam County GIS in preparing this
watershed plan.
Ecology entered rulemaking to comply with the state's 1993 water metering law
as a result of a 1999 lawsuit. Under RCW 90.03.360, all new water rights and
existing water rights greater than 1 cfs or drawing from sources supporting critical
or depressed fish stocks must measure water use. Under the new Rule (Chapter
173-173 WAC), Ecology has issued orders to water users totaling 80% of water
use in 16 "fish critical" basins (including the Elwha-Dungeness). Metering
requirements have not been applied to exempt wells, although RCW 90.44.050
allows metering to be required. Ecology's Environmental Assistance Program is
placing 3 new telemetered gages and 6 staff gages in WRIA 18 streams
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· A user-friendly water use data base that is maintained in GIS, easy to update,
and comprehensive.
Recommendations:
Clearin,qhouse: Develop an information clearing house for easy access to
monitoring information.
Water use measurement:
· Measure all surface diversions and nonexempt wells known to be in hydraulic
continuity with West WRIA 18 streams.
· Where hydraulic continuity exists with WRIA 18 streams in closed basins or
where minimum instream flows are seasonally not being met, all new exempt

Draft Recommendations
wells, existing exempt wells serving group domestic use, and all nonexempt
wells also should be metered.
Public water systems:
· As part of preliminary assessment for Coordinated Water System Planning,
all Group A and Group B systems should report the quantities of current water
right certificates and permits, their capacity to serve existing connections
within these water rights, and their ability to serve new growth under their
water rights.
· All Group A public water systems in Clallam County should take immediate
steps to meet requirements under Chapter 246-290-100 for water system
plans.
· Develop GIS capability to define which parcels are served by Group A or
Group B public water systems.
· .All Group A and B water systems should metering their water sources,
monitor their water use and forward that information to Clallam County and
the Departments of Ecology and Health. Ecology will enter the data into its
new database for broader data access and more comprehensive analysis
capabilities by database users.

WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
Surface Water Supply Sources
Issue: The watershed plan is required to address the availability of WRIA 18
surface water for future appropriation. To what extent should WRIA 18 rely on
surface water to meet new demand growth for out-of-stream water use? To what
extent should growth in WRIA 18 be served by the City of Port Angeles Elwha
River water right? How far east should that water be delivered? Should any other
surface water source in WRIA 18 be developed for new water supply?
Existing Condition and Current Actions:
Small Streams: Most small streams may be fully allocated if not overallocated.
Many depend on groundwater for base flow during late summer and fall. Some
historically ephemeral eastside streams have become perennial due to
groundwater recharge from irrigation over the past 80 years. Direct surface
connections to the irrigation system and irrigation recharge have increased
stream flows in the Iow-elevation independent drainages and some lower
Dungeness River tributaries, and have lengthened such streams as Bell, Gierin,
Cassalery, Cooper, Hurd and Matriotti creeks. Water conservation improvements
are expected to lower the shallow aquifer water table, increase summer
dewatering and reduce stream length. Bell, Cassalery, and Matriotti creeks are
303(d)-Iisted for fecal coliforms.
Dungeness River: Flow variability is high in the Dungeness due to its short,
steep configuration and rain-shadow location. Low flows in late summer and fall
impede adult salmon migration and decrease useable habitat in more than 10
miles of the lower river. Sediment loading interacts with riverbank hardening and
diking, leading to riverbed aggradation and braiding and degrading or eliminating
habitat. Access to productive side channel habitat is impaired or lost at Iow flows.
A "gap" has been identified in the Dungeness River between water needs for
instream values and out of stream use. The "gap" has been narrowed by actions
implemented following the completion of Dungeness-Quilcene Plan but has not
been eliminated (see discussion of irrigation water management
recommendations below). Dungeness Chinook and pink runs have declined to
critical levels. The river's Chinook and chum stocks are listed as "threatened."
The lower river is 303(d)-Iisted for instream flows.
Elwha River: The City of Port Angeles owns a large (50 cfs) water right on the
Elwha River with a municipal purpose, for use in "that area served by the City of
Port Angeles."
City of Sequim: The DQ Plan contains detailed recommendations regarding the
City of Sequim use of Dungeness River water and sets forth recommended
actions for the City (DQ recommendation C.12.1 below). The City responded by
developing a second well at the Port Williams wellfield and has three additional
wells permitted. The City's order of priority for its water sources is (1) Port
Januaw 17,2003 page 4

Draft Recommendations
Williams wellfield; (2) Silberhorn wellfield; (3) Dungeness River Ranney collector.
The City also operates a Class A reclamation facility delivering 500,000 gPd? to a
variety of municipal nonpotable uses as well as Bell Creek enhancement flows.
The City continues to operate the Dungeness River Ranney collector at a
minimum level to maintain the system (about 200 gpm or 0.5 cfs, at times when
reservoir is not full). The City cannot change its Dungeness River water right to a
groundwater source without applying for a new water right (DQ recommendation
C.12.1.1). The City views the Dungeness River source as critical for emergency
supply (gravity flow could supply water from this source if all power were
interrupted). The City co-funded the referenced water resources study (DQ
recommendation C.12.1.2) to assess the ability of deep wells at the Port Williams
Wellfield to meet current and future needs. Based on the study, the City reduced
the use of their Ranney System to a minimum and substantially reduced use of
the Silberhorn Wellfield. A second study, in progress, will compile all information
from well logs, creek flows, precipitation, irrigation, and water quality sampling.
The City completed its Water System Comprehensive Plan in November 2001,
incorporating findings of this and other studies. The City has wellhead and
watershed protection programs for City's aquifer recharge areas. The City also
participates in the Clean Water District and has adopted the Ecology Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington. Title 18.80 of the City Municipal
Code identifies and protects environmentally sensitive areas. The City worked
with Ecology and DOH to assess requirements for filtration. It was determined
that the Ranney system is a groundwater source not under the influence of
surface water. The City is not required provide filtration from this source.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· A safe, sufficient, and reliable long-term public water supply
· Instream flows established by rule that are adequate tosatisfy the important
environmental values identified by the WRIA 18 Planning Units.
Recommendations:
Basin of Oriqin: Throughout West WRIA 18, surface water should not be
transferred from its basin of origin beyond those transfers already authorized by
the place of use specified in existing water rights. Respecting this general
principle and recognizing that existing infrastructure and purveyor service area
boundaries do cross subbasin boundaries, future water supply strategies should
be developed and assessed in terms of service areas and infrastructure in place,
existing water rights, and good economic and engineering practice for developing
a water-efficient and cost-effective future water supply.
City of Sequim:
· Clarify the current need to pump from the Dungeness River Ranney system
during periods of peak demand. Pumping should be curtailed during Iow river
flow periods (August and September).

Draft Recommendations
· The City of Sequim should amend Title 18.80 of the Municipal Code to
provide appropriate protections and land use requirements for critical
groundwater recharge areas within City limits.
· Revise Service Extension Review Process (SERP) agreements so that
landowners with one acre within the limits of the City of Sequim may not opt
for well and septic at their sole discretion.
DQ Recommendations_(updates in italics)
CITY OF SEQUIM
C.12.1 The city of Sequim should develop a long-term source of water and work to conserve
water from the Dungeness River. It should also work to gradually eliminate the use of surface
water from the Dungeness River except as a back-up in extreme cases. It is recommended that:

Groundwater Supply Sources
Issue: Groundwater may be the source on which WRIA 18 will rely for future
water supply, in order to conserve surface water for instream values. The DQ
Plan recommended focusing upon ground water as the resource with the most
potential as a residential and municipal source. Key issues include how to protect
surface water in WRIA 18 without closing off access to groundwater supply, and
whether sufficient groundwater exists to provide a reliable supply to meet future
demand growth in WRIA 18.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The Clallam County Critical Areas
Ordinance (Part Six) protects critical aquifer recharge areas. Groundwater in
hydraulic continuity with surface water may not be taken when streams are
closed, when senior surface water rights would be impaired, or when a minimum
flow rule is in effect and minimum flows are not being met. Since it is believed
that substantially all groundwater in WRIA 18 in some hydraulic continuity with
surface water, this could seriously constrain the ability to use groundwater supply
to meet new water demand growth. Groundwater quality is monitored and
protected through a variety of means. The Clallam County has ongoing
responsibility to monitor well water quality and the PUD has a wellhead
protection program. Well decommissioning is the responsibility of their owners.
USGS (1999) sampled 74 wells and found none with water quality problems. The
PUD tests its wells on a 3-year cycle. Ecology has enforcement authority for
State Standards for Construction and Maintenance of Wells, and Health
regulates wellhead zones of control for protection of public water supplies.
Ecology has not delegated enforcement authority to Clallam County. Department
of Health is pursuing a cooperative program with local health jurisdictions and
statewide assistance program. The County was recently authorized to act as
third-party surveyor for small system sanitary surveys (the County handles only
systems of less than 100 connections).
East WRIA 18: Groundwater is becoming well characterized in East WRIA 18,
with past work by the USGS and a groundwater model under development
through the Department of Ecology (ElS on Water Users Association
Comprehensive Water Conservation Plan). Recent studies have been completed
by the USGS and BOR (Thomas et al. 1999, Simonds and Sinclair 2002, Bountry
et al. 2002). EAP is studying conductivity among the three aquifers and seasonal
nitrate levels in the Carlsborg and Agnew areas. The County to participate in the
study using Centennial Clean Water funds.A Sequim-Dungeness Groundwater
Protection Strategy was completed in 1994. The USGS conducted an in-depth
hydrogeologic assessment of East WRIA 18 in 1999, but identified no areas of
high risk of hydraulic continuity and groundwater mining.
West WRIA 18: Groundwater supply is not well characterized in West WRIA 18,

be likely to yield sufficient production for significant public water supply (pers.
comm.. John Ryding, DOH Regional Engineer).
Exempt Wells: RCW 19.27.097 provides that a County or City may impose
conditions on bulding permits requiring connection to an existing public water
system. RCW 18.104.040 gives the Department of Ecology authority to limit well
construction in areas requiring intensive control of withdrawals.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· A safe, sufficient, and reliable long-term public water supply.
· Protection of surface stream flows in hydraulic continuity with groundwater
withdrawals where streams are closed or minimum instream flows are in
effect.
Recommendations
Groundwater supply:
· Analysis of groundwater supplies: Groundwater supplies should be analyzed
across West WRIA 18 for their location (both geographically and at depth),
quantity, quality, and feasibility of extraction.
· Areas of recharge and discharge, and opportunities for aquifer storage and
recovery:. Analysis of recharge and discharge areas and opportunities for
aquifer storage and recovery should be conducted in sufficient detail to allow
analysis of how the groundwater system will respond to alternative scenarios
of future water development and use, considering both physical and legal
constraints. A primary objective of this work should be to determine the ability
of West WRIA 18 groundwater resources to support future water supply
strategies. Based on these results, the establishment of groundwater
management area(s) and regional groundwater management may be
considered.
· Identify small streams fed by groundwater, shallow aquifers and springs.
Identify and locate groundwater withdrawals that affect streams. Place
highest priority on identifying effects on natural flows and fish stocks.
· Determine whether any critical aquifer recharge areas exist within the City
of Sequim that require protection.
Groundwater withdrawals in hydraulic continuity:
· Conditions for appropriating groundwater in hydraulic continuity with surface
water.. Where groundwater exists in hydraulic continuity with surface waters in
which flows are limiting for fish, recreation, water quality, or other
environmental values addressed under the Watershed Plan, and where
hookups to community water systems are unavailable, or where community
water systems require expanded water rights to serve new connections, new
ground water appropriations in hydraulic continuity with streams and rivers
may be allowed within the framework of a groundwater management plan in

Draft Recommendations
conformity with this watershed plan and in conformity with City of Sequim,
City of Port Angeles, and Clallam County comprehensive plans and critical
areas ordinances (or zoning code). The following guidance should be used,
both (1) by Clallam County in issuing building permits, and (2) by the
Washington Department of Ecology in considering the "public interest test" for
new water rights:
· level of water conservation achieved in the proposed new water use;
· depth from which groundwater will be withdrawn (a general preference
should be given to withdrawals from deeper aquifers);
· for residential permits, groundwater in continuity with flow-limited
surface waters should be dedicated to in-house use;
· use in such situations should be measured.
· Allow groundwater withdrawals to be mitigated: Allow groundwater
withdrawals in continuity with surface water where streams are closed or
minimum flow are not met if impacts on stream flow are mitigated by returning
an amount of water to the stream equivalent to the calculated impact. This
calculation should be performed by the Department of Ecology as part of any
new ground water right approval.
· Allow groundwater withdrawals from deeperaquifers: Where groundwater
exists in hydraulic continuity with surface water, encourage new water supply
wells to be ddlled to the second aquifer or lower. Allow withdrawals from
deeper aquifers in continuity with closed surface sources or sources where
minimum instream flows are not met when an overriding public interest is
served (e.g., the impacts on flows are small, conservation measures are
implemented, no other feasible water supply is available).
Wellhead and groundwater quality protection:
· Continue to seek funding for well inspection program. Delegate responsibility
from Ecology to Clallam County Environmental Health and seek funding to
implement the delegated authority.
· Seek grant funding to locate and cost-share the decommissioning of unused
wells.
· Delegate responsibility for well inspection from Ecology to Clallam County
Environmental Health Department.
· Based on new data, reconsider "areas of special concern" for groundwater
quality (nitrate "bubbles").
· Review and reinstate the 1994 groundwater protection strategy.

Exempt well requlation:
Janua~ 17,2003 page 9
WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
· Clallam County should determine its authority to regulate drilling of exempt
wells in consultation with the Department of Ecology. The necessary
instruments required to regulate such wells, including County ordinance or
Memorandum of Agreement delegating authority from Ecology to the County
should be lawfully established.
· Building permits for residences served by individual exempt wells should be
granted only where hookups to community water systems are unavailable.
· WRIA 18 recommends to the legislature that the RCW 90.44.050 exemption
for individual residences (and associated outdoor water use) should be
reduced to a more realistic withdrawal volume, such as 500 gpd.
· Do not allow conversion from existing public service connection to an exempt
well.
· For those subbasins that this watershed plan recommends be closed,
Ecology should make a determination that water is not available for new
exempt wells and Clallam County should not approve building permits served
by such wells. However, where a subbasin is closed, limited exempt well use
may be allowed for in-house purposes (no outside watering). Such wells
should be metered.
· Those currently connected to public water service should not be allowed to
disconnect in order to use new or existing exempt wells.
· Consolidation of exempt wells to public water rights and service from existing
Group A systems is encouraged.
Dungeness River area groundwater reserve: Consider establishing a "ground
water reserve" in the Dungeness River corridor as part of the Dungeness River
instream flow Rule.
· Boundaries: Establish the boundaries of the reserve based on groundwater
modeling results regarding the extent of hydraulic continuity between the
Dungeness River and wells drilled to the second aquifer and lower depths.
· Depth criteria: Allow groundwater in the second aquifer and lower that is in
continuity with the Dungeness River to be withdrawn from this reserve for
future development. Require all exempt and nonexempt wells in hydraulic
continuity with the Dungeness River to be drilled to the second aquifer or
lower.
· Size of reserve: Base the size of the groundwater reserve on a "worst case"
analysis of effects on Dungeness River flows: e.g., summer Iow flow, dry
year, maximum residential water use. Initially allocate 5000 gpd to each well
drawing from the groundwater reserve (the statutory allocation to exempt
wells). At this rate of water allocation, 129.26 exempt wells would be allowed
per 1 cfs of groundwater reserve.
January 17,2003 page 10
WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
o Follow through on DQ recommendation C.11.6 to implement a five-year
well metering study on a sample of residences within one-half mile of the
Dungeness.
· Reserve management: Withdrawals from the groundwater reserve through
new water rights should be regulated as provided under recommendation XX
above regarding regulation of exempt well withdrawals. Clallam County
should assure that no building permits are approved in the reserve area that
would cumulatively exceed the reserve amount.
· Priodty date: The groundwater reserve should be given a priority date that
supercedes the instream flow water right by a brief period (e.g., one day).
· Water conservation requirements for use of reserve water.. Set water
conservation requirements for use of reserve water. These may include limits
on outside watering in late summer for users drawing from the groundwater
reserve
· Water conservation may increase number of wells allowed: Allow Clallam
County to reduce the allocation of water to each well drawing from the
groundwater reserve (and hence increase the number of available exempt
well permits in the reserve) if water conservation can be documented within
the area considered to be in hydraulic continuity with the Dungeness River
under Clallam County water conservation programs. Use the same criteria
and procedure as are defined for the State Trust Water Program to calculate
allowed increases in the number of exempt well permits drawing from the
reserve (allow a portion of conserved water to be applied to the reserve and
dedicate the remaining portion to instream flows).
· Public Interest Criteria: The Department of Ecology should develop criteria for
allowing withdrawals from the deeper aquifers even when in hydraulic
continuity with the Dungeness River under a determination of overriding
public interest. Ecology is requested to consider satisfaction of these criteria
in granting new water groundwater rights notwithstanding the existence of
minimal continuity. The public interest criteria should include water
conservation standards and the use of gray water for outdoor purposes.
· Riparian Corridor Plan: Develop a riparian corridor plan that will address
critical areas for both surface water and groundwater in hydraulic continuity.
This would include:
· County land use and critical area codes
· JSKT critical habitats identified along the Dungeness River
· identification of groundwater boundary in hydraulic continuity
Irri.qation water supplv: Convert some irrigation water supply from surface to
ground water source. Give high priority to outlying irrigators requiring substantial
volumes of carriage water to be served. Determine where to drill supply wells.
Consider constraints imposed by potential seawater intrusion. Monitor effects
and benefits.

of aquifers, geographical coverage, and data gathering plan
·Add wells to monitor effects of changes in Dungeness (e.g., dike
setbacks). Place monitoring wells in the lower river and at Kincaide Island.
· Query groundwater model to determine priorities to convert existing surface
water users to groundwater (e.g., some irrigation areas) and effects of such
conversion.
· Focus future studies on the following areas: Blyn, West Sequim Bay, East
Sequim Bay, West of Siebert Creek.
· Add a third continuous recording gage at Woodcock Bridge during surface
flow studies to assess Lower Dungeness gains and losses/
· Place continuous recorders in wells believed to be highly responsive to
surface water.
· Conduct continuous water level measurements in an established well
network.
· Summarize and analyze existing raw data related to groundwater from water
purveyors and County Environmental Health and Building departments.
· Continue ambient well water level monitoring (Ecology and County)

data:
o Chloride indicator of seawater intrusion
o Continue periodic studies of nitrates
o Building permit nitrate data (proof of potable water)
· Analyze and use bacteriological and nitrate data submitted for building
permits.
· Obtain groundwater use data.
Groundwater Conservation: Focus groundwater conservation on situations where
groundwater use can be specifically targeted.
· Target lawn and pasture irrigators when moving them from surface water
sources such as ditch outtakes.
· Education outreach to exempt well owners and in concert with metering
requirements under Ecology's new Rule.

RESEARCH & DATA MANAGEMENT
Hydrologic Research and Data Management
C.5. Hydrogeologic research (the water resources study) should be pursued as a critical
component to the future stewardship, allocation and management of water resources of the
region.
GROUND WATER
Hydraulic continuity, Groundwater, Recharge and wells.
C.11. Because little is known about the groundwater resources of the region, the relationship
between the Dungeness River and recharge should be a high priority in water resource
investigations. It is agreed by the Clallam County work group that almost all groundwater in the
watershed has the potential for continuity with the Dungeness River, however, the extent of
continuity and the risk to instream resources will vary significantly with location, proximity, and
timing of recharge.
· C.11.1 Conduct a water resources study to analyze the regional ground and surface water
resources.
· C.11.2 An interim strategy should be developed to determine how to protect the quality and
quantity of groundwater for the next five years, or until more hydrogeologic information is
available.
· C.11.2.1 In cooperation with the State and Tribes, the County should pursue funding to
develop an interim strategy in 1994 to protect ground water and to guide the State's
future issuance of permits.
· C.11.2.2 Clallam County will convene a "ground water group" to include the County,
PUD, Tribe and State ground-water staff to develop a menu of options based on the
Water Resources Forum's Hydraulic Continuity and Instream Flow Policies document.
These factors will be applied to the local level to develop regional strategy. Next, the
eight RPG caucuses will be reconvened to review the recommended interim strategies.
This will be completed before September 30, 1994 (within the 90 day review period of the
DQ Plan by Ecology).
· C.11.2.3 Pending the results of the water resources study (during the next five years),
Clallam County and the City of Sequim should enact land use controls limiting density of
development in areas of high risk for hydraulic continuity or ground-water mining, or
require the use of alternative water sources subject to other provisions contained in this
plan.
· C.11.3 Manage groundwater resources to ensure the protection of water quality.
· C.11.3.1 Implement a well inspection and sampling program as a part of the water
resources study;
· C.11.3.2 Identify unused wells and decommission them properly according to State
standards;
· C.11.3.3 Identify wells that are having problems such as seawater intrusion,
contamination and declining water levels; investigate the causes; implement corrective
measures;
· C.11.4 For all new wells drilled in the County, follow and enforce the State Minimum

· C.11.7 Encourage community systems by providing quicker, local review of permits, to
reliance upon single exempt wells, promote efficient, healthful water systems and enhance
monitoring capabilities.
· C.11.8 In the interest of the overall health of the region, develop Iow interest loans or other
mechanisms to maintain or assure potable water for those areas affected by public health
problems related to the water supply or insufficient water.
· C.11.9 After the proposed water resources study has been completed, establish a long-term
strategy and program for the protection of groundwater.
· Identify areas of risk for seawater intrusion
· Develop subregional water management plans for areas where potential seawater intrusion
has been documented.
· C.11.10 Local Water Purveyors and Clallam County should consider organizing under "The
Public Water System Coordination Act of 1987."
· C.11.11 Develop an education program to educate well owners on the proper use of well
water, including an understanding of the groundwater exemption of 5000 gallon/day and the
one-half acre rule.
· C.ll .12 Because of the potential cumulative effects on the groundwater from onsite disposal
of salt filters for water softeners, future consideration should be given to their use in the
county, and education materials should be produced explaining their possible negative
impacts on groundwater quality.

REGIONAL PLANNING GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS
R6. The Regional Planning Group believes that ground water has the most potential as a
residential and municipal source, and further technical investigations should be implemented.
Ground water is a limited and variable resource which may be diminished or replenished.
· R6.1 Ground water use should be reduced through a comprehensive groundwater
conservation program.
· R6.2 Community wells should be metered and selected wells should be monitored to
calculate total groundwater withdrawals from the region and avoid the mining of groundwater
resources.
R6.3 The RPG encourages the use of community water systems instead of individual wells.
· R6.4 Municipal and residential water supplies should be directed to locations and depths so
as to minimize the risk of hydraulic continuity.
· R6.5 Hydraulic continuity and irrigation conservation: It is acknowledged that the impacts on
ground water from irrigation conservation may not be predictable until implemented.
· R6.6 Mimic Nature: In order to achieve a net gain in productive biological capacity without
artificial influence from the irrigation system, existing and potential development should
incorporate components to allow recharge and runoff to wetlands, small streams and ground
water.
Hydrologic Research and Data Management
R.14 Future hydrogeologic research is critical to the future stewardship, allocation, and
management of the water resources of the region.

Public Water Supply/Public Water System Coordination
Issue: Where a critical water supply problem exists, public water supply may be
coordinated under Chapter 246-293 WAC (Water System Coordination Act)
Existing Conditions and Current Actions: WRIA 18 is served by 73 Group A
public water systems and 261 Group B public water systems. These serve nearly
17,000 connections and more than 43,000 persons (67% of Clallam County
population [Census 2000]) in the WRIA. Growth is projected in areas served by
existing Group A public water systems and in rural areas not served by public
water systems, where exempt wells are expected to be drilled to meet needs.
Coordinated Water System Planning: Chapter 246-293 WAC (Water System
Coordination Act) sets forth requirements referenced in this recommendation
(see Watershed Plan Chapter I for more detail on the Act). Among the reasons
for considering coordinated water system planning in WRIA 18 are:
· hydraulic continuity (shallow wells in particular)
· closure or desire to close small streams to protect instream values
limited or poorly understood groundwater productivity on west side
Coordinated water system planning (CWSP) establishes a framework for water
supply including design standards, service boundaries, and interties. It would
require any person seeking water service within the boundary to connect to
designated system for service under the coordinated water system agreement.
The coordinated water system plan integrates with all other plans (e.g., county,
state and shoreline plans). Clallam County already oversees small (Group B)
public water systems.
CWSP's can regulate Group A and B water systems and can place a greater
burden on smaller systems (e.g., fireflow requirements) and imposes time
demands on all planning participants (particularly County staff and small system
operators). An Abbreviated Coordinated Water System Plan option exempts
water systems that are not expanding from additional planning requirements.
Once committed, all water systems within the boundaries that are established are
required to participate, and there is currently no off-ramp. A preliminary
assessment can be performed prior to this commitment.
An advantage of CWSP is limiting the proliferation of new small systems (which
become incorporated into existing larger systems) The Growth Management Act
no longer constrains the provision of water service outside of urban growth areas
(although the provision of sewer service remains so constrained). An attractive
option may be to incorporate pats of the CWSP process into County regulation
rather than undertake full CWSP.
January17,2003 page 16
WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
Satellite Management: Chapter 246-295 WAC (Water System Coordination Act)
sets forth requirements for Satellite Management Agencies (SMA). One SMA has
been approved in WRIA 18 (under Washington Water Service, managing
Sunshine Acres [230 connections] and Lee Water Co [70 connections] north of
Sequim). Clallam PUD is considering SMA status. CWSP can provide a
framework for an existing system to claim a large region (which could extend to
the entire WRIA) as a Satellite Management Agency (SMA), however a SMA
may be declared without CWSP. When SMA service areas overlap new
connections may choose which one will provide service.
Consolidation of Exempt Wells: RCW 90.44.105 allows consolidation of
exempt wells with existing water systems.
City of Sequim: The DQ Plan addressed recommendations to the City of
Sequim regarding growth planning and interties. The City responds that its
November 2001 Water System Comprehensive Plan documents that existing
wells and water rights are capable of handling projected growth through the year
2018 (with water conservation). The City's well monitoring program extends
beyond City-owned wells and provides important information on which to base
service decisions, including hydraulic continuity and effects of groundwater
withdrawals. City has not been approached for intertie and is not seeking
interties.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· A safe, efficient, and reliable long-term public water supply.
· Water rights sufficient to allow existing public water systems to meet future
growth within their service areas.
· Coordination among water systems to efficiently use WRIA 18 water sources.
· Encourage connection to public water service wherever feasible, limiting the
proliferation of exempt wells.
· Water supply strategies that assure public water service will be available to
meet potential buildout potential in the timeframes required.
· Encourage new public water service to be provided by the existing larger
public water systems wherever feasible. Support smaller Group B water
systems in those locations where Group A service is unavailable and the
infrastructure, financial and management capacity exists to meet
requirements under WAC 246-291.
· Where demand growth occurs outside current public water system service
areas, encourage existing larger Group A systems to expand their service
areas regionally where feasible, and coordinate water system planning
among existing water systems for efficient service.
Recommendations:
Preliminary Assessment of Coordinated Water System Plannin.q: Based on
findings made through the 2514 watershed planning process, Clallam County
should initiate the required "preliminary assessment" as the first step toward
January 17,2003 page 17
WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
determining if East WRIA 18 should be designated a critical water supply service
area and prepare a coordinated water system plan.
· Initial planning meeting: Clallam County Environmental Health, Planning, and
Natural Resources departments, major purveyors, and the Washington
Departments of Health and Ecology should participate in the meeting to
discuss initiation of coordinated planning.
· Consideration of partial CWSP: As part of the Preliminary Assessment,
consider potential advantages of incorporating parts of the Water System
Coordination Act into County ordinance rather than undertaking a full CWSP.
· Consider adopting the utility review procedure to regulate exempt wells
and direct land development to public water service.
· Consider encouraging Satellite Management Agencies.
· Review examples from other counties that regulate down to a single well
(Jefferson County) and prohibit new wells in some areas (Walla Walla
County).
New or Amended Water Rights for Public Water Service:
· Where water rights of existing Group A systems are not sufficient to meet
projected growth within service area boundaries, Ecology should consider
overriding public interest in approving applications for new water rights by
public water systems as compared to the continued proliferation of exempt
wells.
· New or amended water rights should be granted only where public water
systems require expanded water rights to serve new connections under
development in conformity with this watershed plan and City or County
comprehensive and regional planning.
Encouraqe Connection to Public Water Service:
· Connection to public water systems should be encouraged wherever service
is available or feasible. Growth should be managed by directing those who
want to develop land in growth areas to public water service.
· The extension of public water supply service should be encouraged wherever
feasible.
Regional Water Supplv:
As part of the Preliminary Assessment for CWSP, explore the ability and
willingness of the existing larger Group A systems (particularly the Clallam PUD
and City of Port Angeles) in WRIA 18 to serve on a more regional basis. Include:
· Capacity of these Group A systems existing water rights to meet forecasted
growth in water demand.
· Limits embodied in water right "place of use"
· Relationship between regional service and GMA growth plans (urban growth
areas) and Water System Comprehensive Plans.
· Management to contain growth within UGAs
· Efficiencies and expanded public water system service potential provided by
existing and potential interties.

· City of Port Angeles service (e.g., to Bagley Creek)
· PUD service (e.g., to East WRIA 18 and Sequim Bay)
· Effects of expanded public water service on Elwha River flows and instream
flow requirements for fish (coordinated through the West WRIA 18 Watershed
Council recommended elsewhere in this Plan).
· Whether and to what extent a minimum instream flow requirement would
affect the extension of service under existing water rights.
· Take account of changes in instream flow requirements due to stream
geomorphology changes as dam sediments are passed (e.g., Iow flow
duration curves). A defensible approach should be investigated toward
recommending minimum instream flow notwithstanding problems with
applying IFIM or toe width methods on the Elwha River.
· Other demands on Elwha River flow, including unquantified federal and
tribal water rights.
· Availability and ability of new water storage (including groundwater
storage) to offset impacts on Elwha River fish flows.
· Coordinate with the ongoing Elwha River Restoration Group
· Define interim '~ish triggers"
· Coordinate these with the City of Port Angeles Emergency Water
Shortage Response Plan
· Implement a phased response plan with multiple triggers at stages as
a Iow flow situation unfolds
· Triggers must be adopted by City of Port Angeles ordinance and/or
interlocal agreement.
· Consider developing an HCP specifying interim flows during dam removal
and river stabilization, and long-term flows after the river stabilizes and
habitat is restored with an adjusted regime of triggers
· Water conservation requirements that should attend regional delivery of
Elwha River water. Include both short-term curtailment and long-term
conservation considerations.
· Curtailment: City of Port Angeles Emergency Water Shortage Response

· desalinization
· water reclamation
· aquifer storage and recovery

Stormwater
Issue: Unabated stormwater runoff costs local government and property owners
significant resources and losses. Important stormwater impacts include flooding,
landslides, alteration of natural flow regimes in streams, conveyance of pollutants
from uplands to streams, sedimentation, and alteration of stream channel
morphology. Where combined sewer overflows exist, stormwater may carry
sewage into streams and harbors. Impervious surfaces also reduce groundwater
recharge and affect groundwater supplies.
Good stormwater management should facilitate natural stream flows and
infiltration to maintain the natural water table. Stormwater management that
meets these goals also will help stabilize river banks, maintain stream channels
and riparian vegetation, retain spawning gravels and large woody debris, and
reduce pollutant loads to natural streams. It is also important to protect
groundwater and the marine nearshore from contamination. Sometimes
treatment of stormwater runoff is necessary prior to infiltration.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The Department of Ecology has
published a Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington,
responding to a directive of the Puget Sound Water Quality Management Plan to
develop a technical resource for local jurisdictions.
The City of Port Angeles may become subject to National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permitting for stormwater discharge and has
considered a Stormwater Utility to correct longstanding problems and provide
equitable solutions.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· Because stormwater knows no jurisdictional boundaries, the framework for
stormwater management should be established at a watershed scale.
· It is important that the different jurisdictions within the County coordinate in
implementing standards for stormwater management.
· Low Impact Development methods should be used wherever feasible, as
cost-saving and water-friendly incentives and alternatives to regulation.
· Stormwater management should be implemented in a fashion that does not
inhibit economic development or significantly increase the cost of building
new houses.
· The approach should encourage stormwater recharge and control runoff.
· A regional entity, such as a stormwater utility, should be created and
authorized to receive revenue and carry out the stormwater management
program.

Recommendations:
Comprehensive Stormwater Manaqement:
· Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (Reference: Puget Sound
Water Quality Management Plan, SW-1.2, 14DECO0): Clallam County,
together with WRIA 18 cities and tribes, should form an intergovernmental
cooperative agreement to pool resources and carry out a stormwater
management program as soon as possible. They should develop a
coordinated stormwater management system and adopt a joint stormwater
management program coordinated with the Washington Department of
Ecology and Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team. The comprehensive
stormwater management program should includes the following (as
described in the Puget Sound Water Quality Management Plan):
· Stormwater Controls for New Development and Redevelopment
· Stormwater Site Plan Review
· Inspection of Construction Sites
· Maintenance of Permanent Facilities
· Source Control
· Illicit Discharges and Water Quality Response
· Identification and Ranking of Problems
· Public Education and Involvement
· Low Impact Development Practices
· Development of Local Funding Capacity
· Monitoring
· Schedule for Implementation
· Stormwater Technical Manual (Reference: Puget Sound Water Quality
Management Plan, SW-2.1, 14DECO0): Clallam County and other WRIA 18
jurisdictions should review the Puget Sound Water Quality Management
Plan's (PSWQMP) Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program, and
the Washington Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for
Western Washington (August 2001 ) for their "fit"to conditions of Clallam
County, considering regional differences from Sequim to Forks, and adopt a
tailored program and manual that suits regional needs and the state
requirements for "equivalency."
· Regional entity: ^ regional entity, such as a stormwater utility, should be
created and authorized to receive revenue and carry out the stormwater
management program. At a minimum the regional entity should include the
City of Port Angeles and Clallam County.
· Adaptive Management (Reference: Puget Sound Water Quality Management
Plan, SW-1.4, 14DECO0): Monitoring data should be reviewed every five
years (or more frequently, if deemed appropriate) to evaluate whether
program goals are being met and whether any modifications to the program
are needed. Washington Department of Ecology and the Puget Sound Water

Quality Action Team should work with the City and County to develop a
system to assess progress within the area covered by the DRMT.
· Runoff from State Highways (Reference: Puget Sound Water Quality
Management Plan, SW-4.1, 14DECO0) - The Washington State Department
of Transportation, in consultation with DOE, WDFW, WDNR, PSWQAT,
Clallam County, and the City of Sequim should develop and carry out a
program to manage stormwater runoff from all state highways that includes:
· Methods to ensure that stream channels, and aquatic species and their
habitat are protected and stream crossings are minimized;
· Implementation of a federal NPDES permit;
· Adoption and use of a stormwater technical manual that has been
approved by Ecology;
· Regular inspection of construction sites and use of BMPs to control
erosion;
· Regular maintenance of temporary and permanent stormwater facilities
and structures;
· Improvement of existing facilities when roadways are redeveloped;
· Identification and ranking of existing stormwater problems that degrade
water quality and fish and wildlife habitat, and planning and scheduling to
fix these problems;
· Recognition of stormwater as a resource to recharge aquifers, streams
and wetlands;
· Use of Iow impact development practices, when appropriate, to treat and
infiltrate runoff on site rather than collecting and conveying the runoff off
site;
· Preservation of native vegetation, use of permeable surfaces and use of
amended soils to improve infiltration;

WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
· Use of integrated pest management practices to manage roadside
vegetation;
· Activities to respond to spills and water quality violations;
· An implementation schedule; and
· Monitoring to measure program implementation and environmental
response.
· Runoff from Federal Facilities(Olympic National Park, U.S. Forest Service,
Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge) (Reference: Puget Sound Water Quality
Management Plan, SW-5.1, 14DECO0) - Managers of federal facilities should
control stormwater runoff on federal lands according to the same practices (or
similar practices, where appropriate) that will be used by Clallam County and
the City of Sequim.
· Runoff from Tribal Lands (Reference: Puget Sound Water Quality
Management Plan, SW-5.2, 14DECO0) - Managers of tribal lands should
control stormwater runoff on tribal lands according to the same practices (or
similar practices, where appropriate) that will be used by Clallam County and
the City of Sequim.
· Assess the relative benefits and costs of stormwater planning and
management, and implement a fair and equitable revenue program to
distribute the cost among watershed property owners.
· Separate storm and sanitary sewer systems. Reduce the City's Combined
Sewer Overflows to no more than one per year.
· Review enforcement of existing City and County ordinances and regulations.
Dedicate resources as needed to assure compliance.
· In the Port Angeles urban independent drainages, focus on minimizing
stormwater and associated impacts to the natural stream channels. As
necessary to protect these drainages, discharge treated stormwater directly to

Draft Recommendations
Port Angeles Harbor. Treatment options to reduce stormwater quality impacts
to the Harbor might include biofiltration BMPs, and LID roadside ditches.
· Protect Port Angeles Harbor from erosive, nutrient loading, and salinity effects
of high volume freshwater stormwater discharges to the extent feasible.
Early Steps: The City, County and Tribes can take steps now that will facilitate
the initiation of regional stormwater management:
· Determine whether the City of Port Angeles and the cities Urban Growth
Boundary will be subject to NPDES Phase II permitting.
· Establish a joint stormwater management planning team, including City,
County and Tribal public works and planning staff.
· Complete Clallam Count Planning Commission review of stormwater
management and p~anning.
· Allocate funds in annual budgets and plan for revenues to pay for stormwater
management measures and the regional plan.
· Involve related jurisdictions and organizations, such as the Port of Port
Angeles, the Public Utility Districts, and the Clallam Conservation District, in
stormwater management planning.
Impervious surfaces: Impervious surfaces should be minimized, consistent with
good urban planning and transportation engineering.
· Roads should be designed and laid out to minimize the consequences of
stormwater runoff following the TEPAC (Please spell out and eXplain: Jeremy
t° folloWup) model. Where appropriate, road density codes may be relaxed to
allow smaller roads in new developments consistent with standards for
emergency vehicle access.
· The review of new development should focus on the maximum number of
parking spaces that should be permitted, rather than on the minimum number
that should be provided. However, parking should not be forced onto
roadsides.
· Encourage retrofit, redevelopment, and rouse of older developments and
existing infrastructure, including vacant parking lots and abandoned sites, to
reduce stormwater impacts as far as feasible.
Low impact development: Incentives for Iow impact development should be
incorporated in the regional stormwater management plan. The following steps
should be considered in Iow impact development site analysis and design:
January 17,2003 page 25
WATER QUANTITY
Draft Recommendations
· Identify applicable zoning, land use and other local recommendations: Identify
any waivers, modifications or special processes that may be needed to gain
approval (e.g., subdivision, drainage, grading).
· Define development envelope: Delineate any critical ares, buffers, setbacks,
or other resource protection areas where development is discouraged or
prohibited.
· Use drainage/hydrology as a site element: Match the development to the
natural landscape to minimize land disturbance. Maintain drainage patterns
and restrict development and disturbance in valuable hydrologic areas such
as woods or other established native vegetation and highly permeable soils.
Avoid change in land cover runoff characteristics.
· Reduce/minimize total site impervious area: Impervious areas, such as roofs,
roads and sidewalks increase the volume and rate of runoff, convey pollutants
and raise water temperature. Look for opportunities to decrease road width
and length and use alternative permeable surfaces. Cluster buildings and
other developed areas.
· Integrate controls with site plan layout: Determine the preliminary amount
(area or percentage of the site) that will be required to achieve the hydrologic
objective. Develop standard design templates and practices that will be
employed on each lot. Determine the best location, type and size of practice
required for each lot.
· Minimize directly connected impervious areas: Divert flows from impervious
areas to vegetation and limit the size and length of drainage from impervious
areas.
· Modify/increase drainage flow paths: Modify the grading design by flattening
slopes and swales and encouraging sheet flow. Use detention devices such
as smaller culverts and rainwater collection to further maintain the natural
runoff rate within the watershed.
· Compare pre- and post-development hydrology: Review the design to
determine the effectiveness of Iow impact development practices in meeting
stormwater management requirements, using the flow frequency and duration
curves predicted by a hydrology model such as in the Department of
Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. The
size of stormwater ponds may be significantly reduced by following these
steps.
· Complete Iow impact development site plan: Complete final construction
design drawings and specifications, including erosion and sediment controls,
pollution prevention and any maintenance or education requirements.

Draft Recommendations
Urban tree planting: The City of Port Angeles urban tree planting program should
be continued, expanded, and extended into the UGA.
Stormwater as a resource: Where cost-effective and feasible, consistent with
good watershed management practice, stormwater may be treated and reused.
The regional stormwater management plan should consider:
· Surface storage of stormwater for Iow-flow augmentation.
· Cisterns for residential outdoor use.
· Infiltration of stormwater for aquifer storage and recovery.
· The reuse of stormwater in irrigation of parks, playfields, or golf courses, or in
water parks.

Water Conservation
Issue: The conservation and wise use of existing water supplies is a priority to
extend surface and ground water supplies, protect instream values, and reduce
uncertainties regarding future growth in demand for water.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Clallam County's Critical Areas
Ordinance requires BMP's and performance standards. Outdoor residential use
is not regulated by the County. The City of Sequim Comprehensive Plan and
Titles 17 & 18 of the Sequim Municipal Codes also apply.
Emergency Water Shortage Response Plans: The City of Port Angeles has
prepared an Emergency Water Shortage Response Plan, and the Water Users
Associations include water shortage response in their Rules and Regulations.
Comprehensive Water System Plans: The cities of Sequim and Port Angeles
have prepared Comprehensive Water System Plans containing conservation
plan chapters.
City of Sequim DQ Response: The DQ Plan proposes detailed conservation
actions for the City of Sequim (DQ recommendation C.12.2). The City has
responded in a variety of ways. A water conservation chapter is incorporated in
the November 2001 Water System Comprehensive Plan. Over the past 20 years,
City water use per capita has dropped from 280 gpcd to less than 170 gpcd. This
compares favorably with other municipalities in similar climates. The City also
has a water reuse demonstration project (described elsewhere). The Sequim City
Council is empowered to implement mandatory restrictions during shortages or
for health or environmental reasons. This was last done during a 1994 water
shortage. The City has accomplished an approximately 40% reduction in per
captia use since the 1980s. Current storage for Sequim is 2.4 million gallons, and
exceeds State requirements for operational and fire storage. The City requires
water conservation on all new construction, remodel and plumbing permits.
Commercial uses are required to meet the conservation requirements listed in
the recommendation. The City's Utility Rate Task Force Committee is reviewing
the City's water rate structure. The current rate structure is an inclined block rate
(higher rates apply after 400 cf of use). The City has installed new meters for all
uses and production points. A seasonal water rate has not been adopted, as the
inclined block rate is believed to stimulate conservation. The City now has 3
pressure zones and 3 pressure reducing valves to reduce flows caused by high
pressures. The City has an ongoing conservation education program. In addition
to its 2.4 MG storage capacity, the City has made it a high priority to size and
loop water lines and provide hydrants (with proper spacing). Improvements to
meet fire flow deficiencies in the 2000 Plan do not entail new sources or
withdrawals. The City is investigating the installation of a fourth reservoir (1-2
MG) in the upper zone, possibly in the Bell Hill area.

Re.qional water conservation plannin.q and standards:
· Clallam County and all WRIA 18 purveyors, including cities, the PUD, and
small water systems, should develop conservation plans meeting the
standards set forth in watershed planning recommendations.
· Link water conservation plans of water purveyors, including small systems
and irrigation systems, and develop area-specific County water conservation
planning. Identify and target population growth areas outside of UGAs.
· Coordinate water conservation planning and implementation during critical
water periods (consider this as part of preliminary assessment for coordinated
water system planning under Chapter 246-293 WAC; see recommendations
above)
Re.qional water conservation planning and standards:
· Clallam County, Clallam PUD, the cities of Sequim and Port Angeles, and the
Water Users Association should develop a coordinated Emergency Water
Shortage Response Plan including "fish triggers" to implement a phased
response plan with multiple triggers at stages as a Iow flow situation unfolds.
These triggers must be adopted by ordinance and/or intedocal agreement.
Seasonal water conservation:
· Establish a seasonal water conservation program to be implemented annually
during the Iow flow period by the County, the Water Users Association, and all
Class A and B purveyors. Require this as a condition on all future surface
water permits. Include an component on seasonal Iow flow water
conservation in the regiona~ watershed plan public education program. (Note:
the WUA may already be considered in compliance with such a program.)
City of Sequim Water System Comprehensive Plan:
· The City of Sequim is encouraged to fully implement its Water System
Comprehensive Plan chapter addressing water conservation.
· The City should update its Water System Comprehensive Plan to document
its requirements for residential and commercial water conservation.
· The City should document its actual progress in implementing conservation
measures.

CONSERVATION
R4. Conservation is the most cost-effective way to extend limited water supplies for the
foreseeable future, and will need to become a way of life for every water user, and be reflected in
equipment, landscaping, reuse and water use, and construction codes, rate structures, and other
measures.
Goal 1: To manage water conservation based on hydrologic cycles and ecosystem principles.
Goal 2: To satisfy our current or future surface water needs within our current water rights,
without new or additional water rights, by using conservation and achievable technology.
· R4.1 Conservation and efficiency strategies should be developed and implemented region-
wide to provide the most efficient use of all water resources.
· R4.2.1Develop a comprehensive regional water conservation plan that makes all users
responsible for conservation.
· R4.2.2 Develop a system to prioritize water uses for times of critical need. Establish an
emergency water conservation program for all users under extreme drought conditions to be
used by the City, the PUD and the County, and for vo(untary use under all other conditions
including cost/benefit aspects.
· R4.2.3 Monitor the use of surface and ground water, as affordable and dependable
technology becomes available.
· R4.2.4 Establish principles for all users throughout the area, including:
a. Strategies for education and increased public awareness to encourage voluntary
conservation, as the primary responsibility of all managers.
b. Targets for water conservation for each user group including achievable technology.
c. Conservation and reduction goals, considering "targeting" by user groups and including
consideration of all water sources.
d. A regional water modeling and monitoring system developed to avoid a water crisis in a
Iow water year. It should provide for an early warning system, invoking a staged series of
management options. Projections should be done and thresholds established for use in
times of critical Iow water/drought to alert the region before a water crisis occurs.
· R4.2.5 Public entities should pursue and provide demonstration or model projects to
encourage conservation and reuse. Government grants and programs (state and local)
should be sought for surface and groundwater planning, and integration of implementation
activities.
· R4.2.6 Enforce new construction standards on plumbing fixtures.
· R4.2.7 Encourage utilities to develop incentives for retrofits for all preexisting housing offered
for sale which meet new water conservation standards for both residential and commercial
water users.
· R4.2.8 Petition the State to define "conservation" to promote incentives for efficiency (e.g.,
eliminate taxes on conservation materials and equipment; provide rebates to incentivize
conservation).

to instream flows through leasing, relinquishment or Trust Water Rights.
CITY OF SEQUIM WATER CONSERVATION
C.12.2 The City of Sequim should implement a rigorous conservation program to most efficiently
use the available water and to reduce the higher-than-average per citizen use. The City should:
· C.12.2.1 Implement the conservation recommendations in the November 2000
Comprehensive Water Plan, incorporating the DQ's shared sacrifice concept of cutting back
equally among all users during times of Iow flow.
· C.12.2.2 Adopt regulations enabling them to implement mandatory restrictions during
shortages, e.g. alternate-day watering or no outside watering.
· C.12.2.3 Implement the Plan's following recommendations with a goal of 15% reduction in
demand:
Infrastructure: Investigate storage possibilities to provide for the current summer season
deficiency.
Inside Domestic Use: Adopt an aggressive policy that would: 1) mandate the installation of
water-conserving devices on all new and remodel construction as a requirement of permit
approval; and 2) require the conversion of existing construction to Iow flow construction within
a specified period of time, such as 5 years. The City should investigate the costs associated
with providing financial support to assist with the conversion for persons of Iow income.
Outside Domestic Use: Establish an inverted rate structure, reducing the current
incremental billing unit of 5000 cubic feet to 500 cubic feet, to increase consumer awareness
of the total amount of water used through an increasingly larger water bill.
Commercial Uses: Undertake installation of Iow flow toilets, flow restrictors and pressure
regulators. Implement the inverted rate structure for the commercial category
System Modifications:
· Provide a competent master meter system to account for "unaccounted waters," and
provide for a meaningful system indicator; Modify the current computer-produced water
billing system to provide water use statistics.
· Consider adopting a seasonal water rate, one for winter and a higher rate for summer.
· Initiate a water audit program which would provide a voluntary review of owner's water
systems and provide information on ways to increase efficiency of water use.
·
· Add additional pressure zones to bring average zone pressure down from 80 to around
45 psi, resulting in significant water flow reductions for users in all categories.
· Provide active conservation education programs for water users in the community,
including using mailers with the water bills, promotional programs, public presentations,
· technical support for commercial users to install recycling water systems for non-potable
water uses, and encouraging water conservation at businesses such as restaurants,
motels, etc.
· Provide storage and fire protection measures that do not require the development of new
sources or instantaneous withdrawals in Iow flow periods

Irriflation Water Mana_~ement
Issue: The Sequim-Dungeness River Valley Agricultural Water Users
Association (WUA) is the largest user of Dungeness River water. Irrigation water
recharges groundwater, creates artificial wetlands, and affects flows in small
streams.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Under a Trust Water Agreement, a
tentative determination of water rights has been made and the irrigators have
agreed to adjust their water rights to a maximum diversion of 156 cfs. They
further agreed not to divert more than 50 percent of the river's flow (although the
"gap" identified in the DQ Plan remains, nothwithstanding this improvement). In
practice, recent use has averaged 55 to 57 cfs. The WUA have achieved
diversions well below 50 percent even in drought years, even during the 2001
drought.
Irrigation water use is monitored weekly by the WUA and was evaluated in depth
by the USGS 1999, MWG 1999. The Trust Water Rights Agreement includes an
updating process. When conservation is considered largely implemented,
Ecology will issue superceding certificates creating a permanent transfer to trust.
One-third of water conservation savings may be allocated to new irrigation, and
the remaining two-thirds to instream flows.
In 1999 a Comprehensive Water Conservation Plan was completed for the WUA,
and implementation begun under Referendum 38 funding. NRCS is evaluating
current system efficiency and assisting with projects such as siphon replacement.
A County drainage manual is in progress. The impacts of reduced irrigation on
small streams, wells and groundwater were evaluated by the USGS in 1999 and
are currently being evaluated in an ElS on the water conservation
comprehensive plan, using a groundwater model. Canal losses were also
evaluated by MWG 1993 and 1999. There has been a general shift in the
agricultural base to less water-intensive crops and practices.
The WUA adopted detailed Rules and Regulations implementing many features
recommended through the DQ process. These were approved by Clallam County
and include performance standards for lands converted to residential use (for
lands under their jurisdiction). Of an original total of 9 districts and companies,
restructuring has reduced the number to 7. Consolidation to a single district has
been tabled, but WUA are looking at a Joint Board of Control. The WUA has
funded the position of Water Use Coordinator since 1993.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
· Complete implementation of Water Users Association Comprehensive Water
Conservation Plan
· Continue monitoring and managing irrigation water use.

Draft Recommendations
Recommendations: Generally, DRMT workshops identified the need for few
additional recommendations addressing irrigated agriculture, as it was felt that
the DQ recommendations have been well implemented and are working well.
· The formation of a Joint Board of Control is encouraged. Following
implementation of the WUA conservation plan, the WUA should revisit the
advisability of forming a single irrigation district.
· Consider a buy-out of late season watering rights on a willing seller basis.
· Allow later watering specifically for seed crops, within the context of overall
ESA compliance for the WUA.
· Switch to groundwater source for late season stock watering (and discourage
current practice of irrigating from stock flows to reservoirs.)
· WUA districts and companies should respect the authority of the water use
coordinator to enforce agreements of WUA members among themselves and
with Tribes and other entities, in order to avoid the expense of having to hire a
watermaster or stream patrolman.
· Promote the open space benefits of water-efficient irrigated agriculture.
· Take note that incentives to retaining water in irrigation are not necessarily
incentives to the land/water right owner if the land is rented or leased for
agriculture.
· Incorporate the WUA Rules and Regulations in the 2514 Watershed Plan as
an appendix.

CONVERSION OF USES
C.4.1.3 Develop pedormance standards for alllands conveAed to residential
development, speci~ing design and water efficiency management strategies.
WETLANDS & SMALL STREAMS
O.10.2 PART A: Due to the critical status of Dungeness fish stocks, irrigation water should not be
used to augment small streams. In implementing changes to the irrigation system, an affempt
should be made to t~ to restore a more natural drainage system through the following measures:
· C.10.2A.1 Management of water resources to prese~e instream flow in the Dungeness River
should take precedence over the intentional diversion of water to augment other streams and
area wetlands; e.g., reduced diversions may increase flows in the mainstem of the
Dungeness River.
· C.10.2A.2 Re-evaluate the use of irrigation water in Bell and Matriotti creeks in light of the
educational restoration effods focused there.
· 0.10.2A.3 Outside the Dungeness River, managed reduction of flow is based on a
presumption that native and wild stocks in their natal streams will not be adversely impacted.
This recommendation is not intended to discount the impo~ance of small stream habitat and
riparian wetlands to the biological productivity of the entire ecosystem, and their protection
should be incorporated into all habitat restoration effoAs.
· 010.2A.4 Wetlands should be allowed to fluctuate naturally with the season, e.g., remain
seasonally dry or wet without the manipulation of additions of ditch water.
· 0.10.2A.5 Streams should not be used for irrigation ditch conveyance, except where no
alternatives exist; no new conveyance agreements should be stalled. Agreements to use
some streams for irrigation water conveyance have been in place since 1902. If the
~DRMT determines that changes to the present system are needed, a joint
........ DRMT should be made to pursue
effo~ by the Water Users and the W~tershed
funding for implementation of rerouting waters.
· O.10.2A.6 In existing developments, road construction and irrigation systems, as well as
future developments, the concept of mimicking nature should be utilized for stormwater runoff
and recharge, in order to restore natural hydrologi~l functions to small streams and
wetlands.
A. Identi~ and seek implementation of measures to modify existing ditches, pa~icularly on
the Agnew and Highland system, to direct runoff into existing natural channels rather than
into ditches.
B. Implement stormwater management and erosion drainage for new development. If the
~ncfi DRMT determines that changes ot the present system are needed, a joint effoA by

New Water Storaqe
Issue: Issue statement
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The Legislature created a water
storage task force in 2000 to examine the role of increased water storage in
providing water supply for fish, population growth, and economic development.
The Governor has come out in favor of an increased role for water storage in
providing water supply.
NRCS explored options for reservoir storage in the upper Dungeness, with tribes,
WDFW - the consensus was that even during high winter flows, water supplies
may not be sufficient to both fill a reservoir and provide water for fish.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
Recommendations:
· Investigate feasibility of irrigation from storage.
· Investigate any water quality issues associated with releasing stored water
into the river during Iow-flow pedods.
DQ Recommendations (updates in italics)
R7. No large on-river storage is proposed due to habitat concerns, cost-effectiveness, and lack of
demonstrated need.

Draft Recommendations
Reclaimed Water Su~3~)lv
Issue: The reclamation and reuse of treated wastewater can extend water supply
by satisfying outdoor purposes in areas where existing water supplies are under
pressure.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: The City of Sequim operates a Class
A reclaimed water facility for irrigation, stream flow enhancement (Bell Creek),
groundwater recharge and City uses (0.67 MGD). The Sunland Water District
operates a Class B reclaimed water facility for irrigation (0.1 - 0.3 MGD).
Desired Conditions and Outcomes:
Recommendations:
Golf course water reuse: For new golf courses and those existing golf course
where feasible (e.g., potentially Dungeness Golf Club), golf course irrigation by
reclaimed water from residences in proximity to the golf course should be
investigated. This would include septic conversion to a small package treatment
plant and distribution of treated wastewater to the golf course irrigation system.
Stormwater reuse: Investigate the feasibility of constructing stormwater retention
ponds at parks and ballfields and reusing stormwater for park and field irrigation.
Potential Resources:
City of Port Angeles wastewater treatment plant
Daishowa effluent
DQ Recommendations (updates in italics)
C.14.3 Water quantity and quality issues should be considered in the planning and siting of new
developments and wastewater facilities.
· C.14.3.1 Research and analyze the use of wastewater for irrigation under the Ecology/Health
Interim Guidelines for Wastewater Reuse, and implement a program on a pilot-basis at trial
sites in the region. More information is needed regarding the effect of wastewater-use on
streams, wetlands and ground water. This includes what might result from run-off capturing
facilities being fitted to any sizable percentage of newly-developed buildings. The use of
various types of effluent for agriculture, gardens, golf courses, parks and other irrigation
needs should be investigated.
C.14.3.2 Incorporate into water supply plans current and future municipal and public sewage
disposal needs.

Bacterial Sources of Pollution
Issue: Failing septic systems may be contributing bacterial waste to fresh and marine
waters.
Existing Conditions and Current Actions: Parts of Sequim and Dungeness Bay
don't meet water quality standards for harvesting shellfish because of bacterial pollution.
Further, several freshwater streams (e.g., Bell, Johnson, Casselary, Meadowbrook,
Matriotti, and Bagely Creeks) do not meet Washington State water quality standards for
bacteria.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: Clean up surface waters to meet water quality
standards and re-open shellfish harvesting areas.
· Provide septic infrastructure to unincorporated areas of concern in East WRIA 18.
Priorities for service are Carlsborg, Agnew, Sequim Bay Park, Dungeness, and
Dungeness Meadows. Explore the feasibility of providing small package (membrane)
systems and electrophoresis systems.
· Regularly inspect, test, and assure proper functioning of septic and sewage
systems.
· Start on-site septic system investigations in identified problem areas as soon as
possible.
· Provide adequate resources and stable funding to conduct routine inspections of
septic systems in areas identified in the Matriotti/Lower Dungeness River TMDL, as
well as in other areas of water quality concerns related to fecal coliform.
· Focus on "septic systems of concern" (refer to County Problem Area Notebooks).
Septic systems of concern are defined by:
o age
o soils
o no record of a septic system
o a record of problem exists with no record of repair
· Use GPS to survey and map septic systems into a GIS database, coordinated with
well location data.
· Follow up County septic inspections with corrective actions, such as:
o triage
o fund Iow-income fixes
o enforcement
· Complete and implement an On-site Operation and Maintenance Program for septic
systems

· Obtain funding to assist with septic system repairs or replacements in priority areas.
· Coordinate well and septic location through Clallam County GIS.
· Prohibit new septic systems in areas in hydraulic continuity with the Lower
Dungeness River.
· Site a disposal area for septic waste in the Port Angeles area.
Issue: Animal-keeping practices, such as poor manure and pasture management, may
be contributing bacterial pollution to surface water.
Existing Conditions and Current Actions: Not all animal waste is properly disposed
of or composted, and surface and ground waters are polluted.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: Clean up surface waters to meet water quality
standards and re-open shellfish harvesting areas.
· Continue County funding to Clallam Conservation District for water quality
improvement activities.
· Provide technical assistance on small-scale composting for horse and other animal
owners (chickens, rabbits, minature cows, sheep, pigs, etc.)
· Continue to develop and facilitate implementation of farm plans (Clallam
Conservation District).
· Request the continued involvement of Ecology Enforcement, particularly in cases
with uncooperative landowners who keep animals that have access to surface water.
Issue: Runoff associated with animal-keeping, pet waste, and failing septic systems
could be better treated in the watershed.
Existing Conditions and Current Actions: Inadequate riparian buffers increase the
potential that pollutants will reach the ditches, streams and river. Several freshwater
streams (e.g., Bell, Johnson, Casselary, Meadowbrook, Matriotti, and Bagely Creeks)
do not meet Washington State water quality standards for bacteria.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: Improve riparian areas to reduce migration of
pollutants and clean-up surface waters to meet water quality standards and re-open
shellfish harvesting areas.

Carisbog, Dungeness and Agnew areas. Ann Soule will draft a recommendation.
· Ann Soule will draft a recommendation related to well abandonment and
decommissioning, including reuse of abandoned wells for monitoring.
· Integrate well and septic management through:
o County Ordinance, requiring notification to the Dept. of Community
Development before drilling a well. [Janine Reed, of Clallam County
Environmental Health, is conducting further research on the details such an
ordinance.]
o Identification of problem areas using GIS and paper maps. Problem areas are
identified as lots too small for adequate setbacks for both well and septic
system.
o Education of professionals, such as well drillers, septic designers and real
estate agents.
o Partnership with the Washington Department of Health in training, siting, and
enforcement of wellheads and setbacks.
· Continue groundwater monitoring in areas with elevated nitrates and implement

Sediment
Issue: Timber harvest and forest management practices may increase and
accelerate delivery of sediment to rivers and streams.
Existing Condition and Current Actions: Sediment delivery is increased above
natural levels by both acute events (such as landslides, which may occur
naturally or in response to human-caused alterations of the landscape) and by
chronic sediment delivery associated with exposed, unstable slopes (of whatever
origin) and with timber-related activities such as forest roads and timber harvest.
On federal forest lands, USFS Forest Plans and watershed analyses provide
guidance in sediment management. In addition, in East WRIA 18, the USFS
completed the Dungeness Watershed Assessment (1995, updated 2002), which
includes sediment and wetland modules. The USFS is also an associate
member participating in the Dungeness River Management Team and
Dungeness River Restoration Work Group. On State lands, WDNR has
prepared Forest Plans, an HCP, and watershed analyses. WDNP, forest
practices follow the Forest and Fish Rule and the Timber-Fish-Wildlife (TFW)
guidance. (anything fed!state equiv, in 18W?)
(this para is more general than for pracs) Coarse sediments affect river
processes. Diversions and other human interventions affecting river channels
and banks change the ability of rivers and streams to move bedload. In the
Dungeness River, this has led to aggradation and braiding in the lower river.
Fine sediments armor the riverbed, affect biological processes (e.g., smothers
eelgrass and salmon redds), and affect the health of instream populations.
These effects continue all the way to estuaries; pollutants may adhere to smaller
panicles in DUngeness Bay.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes: Reduce the volume of sediments exposed
due to forest practices as well as the levels of these sediments carried into the
rivers and smaller streams back to natural levels or to the maximum extent
feasible or practicable. Reduce the biological effects of fine sediments to
sensitive species and lifestages. (remainder of para more general than for pracs)
Reduce aggradation and braiding in the Dungeness River. Avoid sediment
pulses during critical times (sensitive species and lifestages).
Recommendations:
· Opportunities to improve practices: Current USFS guidelines and policies
follow best management practices and best available science, and are
considered suitable.
· Remediation of specific problems: Endorse the USFS updated Dungeness
Watershed Analysis (1995, 2002). Implement the restoration opportunities it
identifies. (any others for elsewhere in WRIA 187)

· Outreach: WDNR, Clallam County, EMMT, and DRMT should cooperatively
develop incentives, an education program, and land conservation tools(such
as Open space and land trust) to protect tributaries and streams on private
forest land and to manage forest land conversions to development.
· Local regulation: Clallam County should close gaps that may exist in
managing sediment when WDNR forest lands undergo Class IV conversions
from commercial forest to non-forest lands.
· Clearing & Grading: The local governments should adopt clearing and
grading ordinances for sediment control. (not limited to pracs)
· Burnt Hill: The Burnt Hill ORV, The Foothills ORV and other recreational
vehicle use areas should be managed to protect natural drainage, slopes, and
water quality. Sediment delivery to streams (including the Foothills drainages
Dungeness River and JimmyComeLately Creek) from ORV activities should
be minimized.

East WRIA f8 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
INSTREAM FLOWS~
River flows are critical to fish at ail lifestages. Among the ecological services
provided to fish by the volume and timing of flows are: passage for migrating
adults and smolts; habitat for both fish and their prey; temperature management;
and maintenance of riparian vegetation which shades and buffers the river
channel and of the river channel itself, including bed and bank stability.
Minimum vs. Target Flows
DRMT considered two types of flows in developing this Watershed Plan:
minimum instream flows, and target flows.2 A minimum instream flow is a State
flow set by Rule, and applies to State water rights. It is junior to water rights in
existence when it is adopted, and in essence establishes a flow level below
which new water rights will not be allowed to appropriate. A minimum instream
flow generally has a priority date of the date of the Rule establishing it, however
under law instream flows established through 2514 planning have a priority date
as of two years after the Initiating Governments first receive funding from
Ecology. Although a minimum instream flow rule establishes the level of flow
needed to fully protect and preserve fish and other instream environmental
values, it does not guarantee that the flow level will be achieved because the rule
may be junior to other water rights in the stream. A minimum instream flow water
right cannot be enforced against senior diversions of water that reduce flows to
levels less than the putative minimum.
A target flow is an operational concept used by the federal agencies (NMFS and
USFWS, collectively called "the Services") with jurisdiction under Endangered
Species Act (ESA). It has no relation to State water rights, including minimum
1This draft includes background language from both Chapter 1 (planning framework) and Chapter 3
(watershed characterization) for East WRIA 18. DRMT should decide whether to repeat this language in
Chapter 4 (recommendations) or not.
2DRMT has not yet decided how far we will go in considering target flows in the 2514 process. This
draft sets the stage for target flow recommendations, but does not present recommendations as the focus
group has not yet developed them.
East WRIA 18 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
instream flows, although it may preempt them. The term "target flow" is not
defined in law or regulation, but is employed as a tool to implement the ESA. In
that context, target flows are defined by the Services on a case-by-case basis.
Target flows are not formally established (unless through other ESA compliance
such as a Habitat Conservation Plan or through legal action brought under the
Endangered Species Act), but are generally defined as goals that may be
achievable in the lOng run, or in most years. They are often placed "in context" of
existing water uses and flows, however they may require reduction in water use
irrespective of state-issued water rights. Thus, the term as used by the Services
is operationally similar to the concept of "target flow" as it was used in the DQ
Plan: a realistic goal in context of historical use.
Biologically, minimum flows may be developed in similar ways to target flows,
using similar criteria. However, a target flow would normally focus on a specific
listed species, whereas a minimum instream flow may consider a broader range
of species and instream values. If a minimum instream flow has been developed,
it very well may be adopted as a target flow.
History of Dungeness River Instream Flow Studies and Recommendations
The USFWS performed an instream flow study for the lower Dungeness River
using the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) during 1988-1989
(Wampler and Hiss 1991). IFIM is the generally accepted method for quantitatively
relating instream flow in a particular river reach to potential fish habitat area.
Predictions of weighted usable area (WUA) per 1000 feet of stream were
developed for study sites located at river miles (RM) 2.3 and 4.2. The two study
sites were selected to represent instream habitat found in river reaches from RM
1.8 to 2.5 and RM 3.3 to 6.4, respectively. Both these reaches lie below the five
irrigation diversions on the river. Ten models were developed for the upper site
and four models were developed for the lower site. All models were run on single
sets of velocities from a series of transects, obtaining WUA predictions against a
range of discharges from the HABTAT program. WUA predictions were obtained
for steelhead (spawning, juvenile and adult), bull trout (dolly varden) juvenile,
coho (spawning and juvenile), Chinook (juvenile, spring Chinook spawning and
adult), and pink salmon (spawning). It was observed that diminished flows in
August and September reduced usable holding habitat for adult spring Chinook.
Low flows also increased barriers to upstream passage, particularly for pink
salmon attempting to migrate to upstream spawning habitat during these months.
A 1990 Executive Summary of the Dungeness River IFIM Study (Hiss and
Lichatowich 1990) tentatively selected priority months (August and September)
and life stage combinations (Chinook migration, spawning and rearing; pink
2
East WRIA f8 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
spawning; and steelhead rearing). The summary did not prioritize upper versus
lower reaches, or side channels versus the main channel, nor did it select a
single key species and life stage. In December 1992, the Dungeness Instream
Flow Group (including the USFWS, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, NMFS, WDFW,
and Ecology) was reconvened to complete the evaluation and interpretation of
the instream flow study. A paper entitled Recommended Instream Flows for the
Lower Dungeness River (Hiss 1993a) was prepared "to condense instream flow
study results into one recommended monthly flow representing maximum fish
habitat, representing a balance of key combinations of species and lifestages."
The group intended to provide the DQ planning process a means to evaluate the
flows left in the river after irrigation and determine how much habitat could be
gained from any given increase in instream flow immediately downstream of the
irrigation diversions. To accomplish this, the Dungeness Instream Flow Group:
developed a list of species and life stages;
determined flows providing maximum habitat area for each species, life stage
and reach;
established priority species and life stages;
established a preference for the upper Dungeness River; and
established a seasonal priority for the main channel versus side channels
(note that the importance of side channels has become better recognized
since that time).
Based on the selection of species, life stages, reaches and channels, the
Dungeness Instream Flow Group set Dungeness River flow targets for maximum
fish habitat immediately below the irrigation diversions for each month. Three
flow levels were recommended:
November through March: 575 cfs
April through July: 475 cfs
August through October: 180 cfs
These flow recommendations did not consider historic Iow flows; rather they
were based entirely on maximizing potential fish habitat as calculated by the IFIM.
Their primary value is in providing a biological benchmark against which any flow
can be evaluated in terms of its ability to maximize fish habitat. While flows for
downstream smolt migration were not addressed explicitly, recommended flows
are expected to be adequate for this life stage (Hiss 1993a). The August through
October time period coincides with Chinook and pink spawning and migration.
The Iow flow recommendation for that period provides 100 percent of the
spawning WUA for these two species, which represent the highest ranked
species-life stage combination identified by Wampler and Hiss (1991).
East WRIA 18 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
According to Montgomery Water Group (1999), August-October natural instream
flows above all irrigation diversions were 93 percent of the recommended flows
50 percent of the time, and 62 percent of recommended flows 90 percent of the
time. Below the diversions, flows dropped to 65 percent of those recommended
by Hiss 50 percent of the time and 34 percent of the recommendation 90 percent
of the time. That is, there is a 28 percent difference in achievement of
recommended instream flows before and after irrigation diversions.
Table 4-1 shows the flows providing maximum habitat area for each species and
life stage evaluated by the Dungeness Instream Flow Group, based on IFIM
results. Table 4-2 reports recommended monthly flows below the irrigation
diversions as compared to monthly exceedance flows at the USGS gage
upstream of the diversions.

As Table 4-2 shows, the recommended flows exceed natural flows at the 50
percent exceedance level in 6 of 12 months, and at the 10 percent level in 3 of 12
months. This probably reflects the fact that river braiding consumes a great deal
of water that does not contribute usable habitat area (Hiss 1993a). Flows for
maximum fish habitat are intimately related with the dynamics of streambed
gravel aggradation, which has created wider, shallower channels with higher
bars.
A 1992 review of the IFIM study found that it clearly documents that diminished
flow regimes have reduced the overall quantity of important instream habitat for
anadromous fish in the lower ten miles of river, but fails to take account of
stream geomorphology and physical changes responsible for channel changes
associated with altered basin hydrology and sediment input (Orsborn and Ralph
1992). Orsborn and Ralph pointed out that profound alterations to the river
channel (making it wider and shallower), makes it difficult to use IFIM flow results
as stand-alone guidelines for restoration and recovery. They concluded that
interpretation and application of IFIM results is of limited value and pointed out
that the reduced overall quantity and quality of instream habitat is most
dramatically emphasized by the large discharges that would be necessary to
provide even moderate amounts of habitat - far exceeding the normal distribution
of flows during July-October even without irrigation diversions.
A Limiting Factors Analysis of the Dungeness River conducted by the
Washington Conservation Commission (Haring 1999) noted that "instream flow
reduction due to irrigation withdrawals has been a long-standing concern in the
East WRIA 18 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
Dungeness River. The LFA found that the primary fish access concern in the
mainstem Dungeness River is that Iow stream flows during late summer/early fall
impede adult salmon migration and decrease usable juvenile habitat in over nine
miles of river (PSCRBT 1991, Lichatowich 1990, Orsborn and Ralph 1992). As the
rate of flow is artificially lowered in August and September, the potential for
development of barriers to upstream passage caused by shallow riffles is
increased, preventing adult pink and chinook from reaching preferred spawning
grounds (Wampler and Hiss 1991). Spawning habitat in reaches subjected to
water withdrawals is substantially reduced compared to pre-withdrawal
conditions. Surveys of the lower river indicated a number of locations where
juvenile salmonids were trapped in pools or other Iow spots along the margin of
the wetted channel, some of which were lost as water depths dropped and
temperatures exceeded 68°F. There are a number of side channels in the lower
river (from downstream of the Railroad Bridge to the Ward Bridge) with good
water quality, but the value of these side channels is decreased as access is cut
off because of irrigation-induced Iow flow (Orsborn and Ralph 1994)." The LFA
also notes reduction of instream flow due to infiltration loss or subsurface flow
(not related to irrigation impacts).3
The LFA reviewed the IFIM study, noting that it showed that at the lowest
recorded flows only 45% of the wetted useable area (WUA) was achieved for adult
chinook salmon holding and migration and WUA for spawning was reduced by
90%. The LFA also compared average flows in the Dungeness River upstream of
the irrigation diversions (at RM 11.8) and noted that the instream flow
recommendations exceed the average flow from November through April. The
LFA stated that "it is apparent that it is necessary to maintain the entire river flow
in the channel during the lowest flow periods for full benefit to salmon."
Orsborn and Ralph (1992) felt that the objectives of restoring complexity and
stability depend upon better understanding of the character, spatial distribution
and stability of habitat types. They noted that Dungeness flows had not been
analyzed with respect to related:
temporal variation (within-year and between-year comparisons)
changes in land use
life-stage seasonal flows for fish
variable channel geometry (net of flow and sediment changes associated with
land use), and effects of geomophology changes on fish habitat
3To be updated based on BOR seepage study and groundwater group recommendations.
East WRIA f 8 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
Later studies by Orsborn and Ralph (1994) addressed some of these data gaps,
particularly with respect to channel geometry and land use.
The Dungeness-Quilcene Water Resource Management Plan recommended that
the instream flow recommendations be reviewed as IFIM models are updated
which could reflect the channel conditions in the Dungeness more closely. The
LFA expressed expressed concern that the models used in setting instream flows
may not be appropriate for the hydrologic conditions on the north Olympic
Peninsula and stated that further work may be warranted to refine instream flow
recommendations for this area (Haring 1999). The LFA explained that due to
unique watershed conditions associated with irrigation system effects, the
hydrologic models used in the toe width methodology for determining
recommended flows on the smaller streams and for the Dungeness River IFIM
models may not match local conditions (Haring 1999). The flow curves on which
these models are generated are based on the hydrology of streams draining the
Cascades of western Washington and Oregon, which typically have rain or rain-
on-snow peak flows, as opposed to the bimodal (winter storm and spring runoff)
distribution of peak flows seen in East WRIA 18. Consequently, many of the
recommended flows may be physically impossible to achieve. Also, channel
width measurements, used as input values in the toe width method, may reflect
artificially elevated average and peak flows, due to irrigation diversions having
led to higher ground water and stormwater inputs to these streams. It is expected
that as these streams return to more natural channel configurations (which may
take several decades), channel widths will decrease.
The Dungeness River Restoration Work Group (DRRWG) met in <date> to review
the IFIM results and recommendations with regard to current conditions on the
Dungeness River, and concluded that both remain valid and useful.4
Dungeness River Water Conservation and Trust Water Agreement
4Still need to get documentation of this meeting and actual language that was used to affirm the
IFIM.
East WRIA 18 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
Water conservation actions are reducing irrigation diversions from the
Dungeness River, but also may be decreasing flows in the lower Dungeness
tributaries that are heavily influenced by groundwater contribution, leakage, and
tailwater returns from irrigation. The LFA indicates that water conservation in the
last decade has resulted in a seasonal average reduction of approximately 15%,
with significant water conservation savings in the late summer spawning
season,s Irrigators historically diverted 80 percent of the natural flow of the
Dungeness River, but have now limited themselves to 50 percent under the Trust
Water Rights Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with the Washington
Department of Ecology. The irrigators have also developed a Comprehensive
Water Conservation Plan (Montgomery Water Group 1999).
Replacing the open irrigation canals and laterals with pressurized pipe, as
proposed in the Comprehensive Water Conservation Plan, is expected to
increase flows in the Dungeness River by 5 to 18 percent (Montgomery Water
Group 1999) by shifting water that is currently spilled into smaller streams back
into the Dungeness River. However these measures also will reduce artificially
created fisheries habitat in the smaller streams.
The 1998 Trust Water Rights Program MOU between Ecology and the WUA
provides assurance that irrigators will divert no more than half the flow of the
Dungeness River at RM 11.8, during the period August l-September 15. The WUA
also agreed to leave as much water as possible in the river after August 1, when
the arrival of salmon coincides with declining flows. Given that the historic
August-September Iow flows for the Dungeness River have been 119 cfs, the
MOU agreement to divert no more than half the water effectively protects about
50 percent of the weighted usable area needed for Chinook spawning.
The Montgomery Water Group (1999) revisited the IFIM analysis to calculate
increases in instream flows that would occur in the Dungeness River if
improvements in the Comprehensive Water Conservation Plan were
implemented. Percentage changes in September instream flows were compared
to present conditions for the 50 percent and 90 percent exceedance flows, used
as proxies to represent normal and dry years, respectively. Results were
expressed in terms of habitat availability, not salmon production, which depends
upon a variety of other limiting factors, such as escapement. After
implementation of the proposed water conservation improvements, it was
determined that Dungeness River flows should increase approximately 16 to 28
cfs, resulting in 50 percent exeedance flows of 133 to 145 cfs and 90 percent
5Water Users Association may have updated information on savings.
East WRIA 18 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
exceedance flows of 78 to 90 cfs. These improvements would increase instream
flows at these exceedance levels by 14 to 24 percent and 26 to 45 percent,
respectively. The improved flows would achieve 74 to 81 percent of the Hiss
(1993) recommendations at 50 percent exceedance and 43 to 50 percent of the
recommendation at 90 percent exceedance, a 16 percent gain in the frequency at
which instream flow recommendations are achieved.
By contrast, flows in smaller streams are projected to be diminished by the
proposed program of water conservation improvements, in effect shifting water
that has artificially created fisheries habitat in them back into the Dungeness
River. Montgomery Water Group (1999) project that coho and cutthroat would be
most affected, and to a lesser extent fall chum and winter steelhead. However,
the WRIA 18 Limiting Factors Analysis (Haring 1999) states that benefits to fish
resulting from water conservation efforts that restore instream flow to the
Dungeness River are expected to greatly overshadow the habitat losses in the
smaller streams.
Minimum Flow Recommendations
The DQ Plan (1994) recommended that the Department of Ecology set instream
flows for the Dungeness River based on IFIM studies (Wampler and Hiss 1991).
Based on DRRWG review of the Dungeness River IFIM, including selection of
species, life stages, reaches and channels, the Dungeness River Management
Team recommends that minimum instream flows be established at the
Schoolhouse Bridge gage (RM 0.5, below all irrigation diversions) at the flow
levels recommended by the Dungeness Instream Flow Group (Wampler and Hiss
1991; Hiss and Lichatowich 1990; Hiss 1993a):
November through March: 575 cfs
April through July: 475 cfs
August through October: 180 cfs
These flow recommendations maximize potential fish habitat as calculated by the
IFIM and provide a biological benchmark against which the flow effects of any
future water right decisions should be evaluated. The August through October
flow recommendation provides 100 percent of the spawning WUA for Chinook
and pink spawning and migration, the highest ranked species-life stage
combination identified by Wampler and Hiss (1991).
Target Flow Recommendations
Figure 4-1, based on Hiss (1993a) shows percent of optimum fish habitat realized
East WRIA 18 Watershed Plan DRAFT CHAPTER 4 Instream Flows Recommendations
as a function of instream flow for both pink and Chinook spawning. The figure
indicates that maximum value for Chinook is reached at a slightly lower flow than
shown in Table 4-1. Based on the original Hiss base graph, it was concluded in
the DQ planning process that Dungeness River flows of 60 cfs would preserve a
little less than 50 percent of the weighted usable area needed for Chinook
spawning, 100 cfs would preserve about 75 percent of the weighted usable area,
and 180 cfs would provide 100 percent of the weighted usable area. The DQ Plan
(1994) set a 100 cfs target minimum flow for the Dungeness River (also shown on
Figure 4-1) and established that the 60 cfs flow represented an absolute minimum
flow for the river. The Water Users Association have passed a resolution not to
divert below this level? The 100 cfs flow target was based on an analysis of the
Chinook spawning area versus flow curve, and represents the break point at
which gains in habitat begin to diminish with increased flows.
<insert further discussion here of the approach to developing target flows, based
on DRMT decisions and work following those decisions (e.g., seasonal flows,
flows for side channels, fish passage, late season water quafity and habitat, flows
by water year type, where target flows will be measured, water conservation
considerations)>
The WUA are now undertaking a pilot Comprehensive Irrigation District
Management Plan (ClDMP), following a procedure developed through the
Agriculture, Fish and Water process which resulted from the "Extinction is Not an
Option" initiative undertaken by Washington in response to salmon listings. The
CIDMP is intended to result in Implementation Agreements with the federal
agencies that achieve ESA compliance. It is expected that the Implementation
Agreements will include target flows for the Dungeness River, and will recognize
the actions taken by the irrigators to reduce diversions through the Trust Water
MOU and their Comprehensive Water Conservation Plan.
In addition to implementation through the CIDMP agreements, target flows also
may be implemented through Clallam County's 4(d) program, amendments to the
Trust Water Agreement, the Shared Strategy process (which is expected to result
in recovery planning goals for Puget Sound Chinook), and the Summer Chum
Conservation Plan (WDFW year). <insert further information on target flow
implementation from these sources as it develops>

Groundwater Reserve
Summary of groundwater interactions and recommendations for a groundwater
reserve to be added based on work underway in the groundwater focus group
The LFA (Hating 1999) notes "a proliferation of regulatorily exempt shallow
groundwater wells in the lower Dungeness Area Watershed, associated with the
extensive urban/rural development that is occurring. There is a high likelihood
that these wells are in continuity with surface water flows in the Dungeness,
tributaries, and independent streams. The shallow aquifer supporting these wells
is artificially affected by groundwater return flows from irrigation in the
watershed. The effect on surface water flows has not been quantified."

EXISTING CONDITION AND DESIRED OUTCOMES: Ennis Creek is the least
disturbed of the Port Angeles independent urban drainages. It has the largest undisturbed upper
watershed (with snow-fed headwaters in the Olympic National Park), the least development, the
greatest diversity of existing native fish stocks, and the highest potential for restoration and
salmon recovery. The Elwha-Morse Management Team emphasizes the preservation of existing
high-quality habitat and the restoration of properly functioning conditions in Ennis Creek.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
· Close Ennis Creek to new surface water appropriations.
· Minimum instream flows are recommended as follows: <inSert table based on toe width

MORSE CREEK Recommendations Final Version: November 14, 2002
PREAMBLE
Morse Creek is one of the smaller North Olympic Peninsula "snow streams" (with
snow-fed headwaters in the Olympic National Park). For its size it has great
historic diversity of existing native fish stocks, and high potential to provide
quality salmon habitat. Key concerns for watershed planning on Morse Creek are
the operation of the City of Port Angeles hydroelectric facility; diking and bank
hardening in the lower three miles of the creek, and the loss of stream meander,
large woody debris, and sediment (spawning gravels) in the lower river; possible
future development in the Mining Creek and Frog Creek watersheds; and the
effects of the two large "Four Seasons" land developments at River Mile 2 and on
the Morse Creek estuary. The Elwha-Morse Management Team emphasizes the
preservation of existing high-quality habitat and the restoration of properly
functioning conditions in Morse Creek.
INSTREAM FLOWS
~ Close Morse Creek to new surface water appropriations. Allow groundwater
withdrawals in continuity with Morse Creek if impacts on stream flow are
mitigated by returning an amount of water to the stream equivalent to the
calculated impact. This calculation should be performed by the Department of
Ecology as part of any new ground water right approval.
Minimum instream flows are recommended as follows: Recommendations for
Morse Creek flows in the reach affected by the City of Port Angeles hydroelectric
facility are pending negotiations between the City, the Lower Elwha Tribe and
agencies. These discussions may not resolve (it appears that the agencies are
defaulting to existing FERC license flows). Flows for Morse Creek will be
considered in our February meeting (with other West WRIA 18streams). The
City is open to a Morse Creek flow recommendation above or below the affected
reach.

WATER QUALITY
~ Clallam County and the City of Port Angeles, with assistance from the Clallam
Conservation District, and Clallam PUD No. 1, should cooperatively establish
and manage a comprehensive water quality monitoring program to evaluate
pollutants, including suspended sediments, in the water column and stream
sediments. Sources may include: landslides, land clearing, landfills, septic
systems, fish rearing facilities, runoff from golf courses, lawns, agricultural
lands, and impervious surfaces. As indicated by monitoring results, steps
(such as the preparation of TMDLs, point-source abatement) should be taken
to manage water quality problems. Note: the City of Port Angeles currently
has no jurisdiction in the Morse Creek watershed. This recommendation
would apply to the City only in the event that their jurisdiction were extended
at some future date.
~ Recognizing that leachate from creosoted pilings has deleterious effects on
water quality, advantage should be taken of any funding opportunity that may
arise to replace the Railroad Bridge pilings on Morse Creek or apply
appropriate and acceptable mitigation measures.
~ The Watershed Council or any entity with jurisdiction should develop and
implement strategies to retain sediment in Morse Creek (e.g., slow stream
velocity by meander restoration, by placing LWD, or by developing instream
structure and diversity of channel form and function).
~ The County should develop and adopt (1) a comprehensive O & M program
for onsite septic systems and (2) a comprehensive stormwater program that
would include infrastructure, groundwater, and aquatic resources, and
address:
~ Monitoring
~ Source control
page 2
MORSE CREEK Recommendations Final Version: November 14, 2002
~ Public education and involvement
~ Measures to promote Iow impact development
~ The Washington Departments of Ecology and Natural Resouces, and Clallam
County should enforce existing ordinances and regulations where activities
under their jurisdiction may affect water quality in Morse Creek. These entities
should review monitoring data to determine the effectiveness of existing
regulations and amend them as necessary.
HABITAT
Update the limiting factors analysis for Morse Creek.
Address Limiting Factors': Respecting existing property rights, taking
advantage of opportunities afforded by willing property owners, and reaching
out to all watershed property owners, the West WRIA 18 Watershed Council
should seek opportunities to restore habitat and recover salmonids by
addressing the limiting factors described in Salmon and Steelhead Limiting
Factors for WRIA 18 (Haring 1999), as updated from time to time. Where
possible and as needed based on existing habitat conditions and drivers of
change, achieve the following objectives using tools such as conservation
easements, donations, purchases, and City or County planning, zoning and
critical areas ordinances and regulations:
~ Restore stream meander in the lower river.
Halt dprapping; restore and protect natural stream banks and shorelines,
including natural riparian and marine shoreline vegetation. Encourage
conifer regeneration in deciduous stands along the creek.
Restore and protect estuarine and nearshore marine properly functioning
conditions. Eliminate or mitigate nearshore and shoreline structures where
these impair properly functioning conditions. However, continue to protect
the Olympic Discovery Trail.
Restore drift processes and recruitment of marine sediments to the west
of Morse Creek.
o Conduct a feasibility study addressing both estuary and drift cell
restoration.
o Determine sediment sources (whether from Morse Creek or
longshore drift).
~ Note: we agreed to place the LFA in the Watershed Plan recommendations chapter, in a shaded
box on or next to the page on which this recommendation occurs. This would occur for all
streams for which the LFA has made recommendations. We agreed to use as much of the LFA
graphics material as possible.

MORSE CREEK Recommendations Final Version: November f 4, 2002
o Collaborate with and educate landowners. Encourage affected
landowner involvement.
Eliminate manmade fish passage barriers.
Restore large woody debris throughout the channel.
Restore Morse Creek side channels.
Implement BMPs where vegetation management is necessary (e.g., under
powerlines) to minimize effects on properly functioning conditions
throughout the watershed.
Eliminate stream and floodplain constrictions, including bridges and dikes.
Where elimination is infeasible, reduce constrictions and reconnect the
river to its floodplain to the maximum extent feasible
Clallam County working with the Department of Ecology, USGS, and others
should (1) maintain the existing stream gage in lower Morse Creek; and (2).
place a continuous recording, telemetered flow gage in the bypass reach of

Draft Valley Creek Recommendations Last Updated: March 1, 2002
Topic: Valley Creek Restoration
Issue:
Existing Conditions/Current Actions:
Recommendations:
City of Port Anqeles
· Grandfather existin,q residences and commercial activities: Fully incorporate in all
appropriate city planning and zoning documents, policies, and procedures the
establishment of Valley Creek, from 5 Street south to 8 Street, as single family
residential or public park only, and from 8t~ Street south as public park
· Create City park: Fully incorporate in all appropriate city planning and zoning
documents, policies, and procedures the long-range goal of Valley Creek as a city
park, with a fully restored channel, park facilities and an environmental education
function.
· Waterfront Trail/Olympic Discovery Trail: Fully incorporate in all appropriate city
planning and zoning documents, policies, and procedures the establishment of a
non-motorized trail link along Valley Creek from the Waterfront Trail (Olympic
Discovery Trail) south to the city limits south of Hwy. 101, where it will ultimately
continue upstream to Olympic National Park through private, county, state and
federal lands.
· Restored creek: Fully incorporate in all appropriate city planning and zoning
documents, policies, and procedures a provision that, when a creek such as Valley
Creek is being restored consistent with a plan of sufficient maturity and feasibility as
to be recognized and approved (in some fashion) by local government and agencies,
that zoning and land use management decisions along and/or affecting that creek
will be made consistent with what the restored creek will be, not with what its current
condition (zoning) is. (It's hard to achieve long-range restoration goals, no matter
how meritorious, if current and on-going land use decisions are made based on
existing, and often conflicting, zoning or other policies that would only make it more
costly, difficult or impossible to achieve the underlying restoration objectives.)
· Adjacent property owners: Work with all adjacent property owners, from 6th Street to
the harbor, to find ways to "open up" the culverted length of Valley Creek.
· Relocate Daishowa powerline: Support eventual re-location of Daishowa powerline
to an alternate location outside of Valley Creek.
· Acquire small parcels: Support acquisition by the city of the many small, Iow-valued,
vacant parcels, predominantly on the valley slopes, to ensure watershed protection
in the valley and for inclusion in the city park.
· Incentive pro.qram: Develop a program of property tax reductions, conservation
easements, or other conservation incentives for those parcels with upland
residential/commercial use but which also extend substantially down the slopes of
the lower valley (Hwy. 101 to harbor), for the purpose of protecting the valley slopes
from clearing, dumping, or other watershed impacts.
Clallam County
· Grandfather existing residences and related uses: Fully incorporate in all appropriate
county planning and zoning documents, policies, and procedures the establishment
of a route along Valley Creek as a public trail, providing a non-motorized trail link
from Hwy. 101 southward, where it will ultimately continue upstream to Olympic
National Park through private, county, state and federal lands.
· Restored creek: Fully incorporate in all appropriate county planning and zoning
documents, policies, and procedures a provision that, when a creek such as Valley
Creek is being restored consistent with a plan of sufficient maturity and feasibility as
to be recognized and approved (in some fashion) by local government and agencies,
that zoning and land use management decisions along and/or affecting that creek
will be made consistent with what the restored creek will be, not with what its current
condition (zoning) is. (It's hard to achieve long-range restoration goals, no matter
how meritorious, if current and on-going land use decisions are made based on
existing, and often conflicting, zoning or other policies that would only make it more
costly, difficult or impossible to achieve the underlying restoration objectives.)
· Incentive programs: Expand/refine county programs of property tax reductions,
conservation easements, or other conservation incentives for those parcels
incorporating the main channel and/or principal tributaries, for the purpose of
protecting the valley slopes and the public trail from clearing, dumping, or other
watershed impacts.
Combined City/County Actions
· Adopt instream flow rules: Adopt instream flow rules that fully support a restored
system consisting of healthy populations of all stocks historically present.
· Monitoring program: Establish and maintain a comprehensive monitoring program
for baseline conditions and ongoing (ambient) status which incorporates all
appropriate water quantity, water quality, habitat, and fisheries population
parameters.

. Conduct field studies of timing and presence of salmonids using the creek.
Assess significance of attraction of Dungeness fish to McDonald Creek, if
any.
· Study alternative of tightlining irrigation water to the siphon
· C.10.2A.1 Management of water resources to preserve instream flow in the
Dungeness River should take precedence over the intentional diversion of water to
augment other streams and area wetlands; e.g. reduced diversions may increase
flows in the mainstem of the Dungeness River.
o Consider and balance tradeoffs to fish stock populations in restoring water back
to the Dungeness from the small streams (benefit of water returned to the
Dungeness versus effect of water lost from small streams). Consider seasonal
use and use of small streams as refugia. (the focus workshop made this
recommendation for talking purposes, intending to revisit this original DQ
recommendation, but not ready to change it.)

Maintenance and Operations Levy Renewal-District Revenues
No. Many educational programs are funded in
large part by money from the levy. Almost all
maintenance costs, approximately half the cost
of school bussing, all extra-curricular activities,
much of the cost for teacher training, nearly
one-third of the cost of special education, along
with the financial support to keep smaller class
sizes, comes from the levy.
The levy IS the "somewhere else." 5%
· Schools are limited by law as to where they
can raise the money--the levy is the pri-
mary place allowed.
· We already cut the budget last year in re-
sponse to enrollment declines and the re-
duced ability of the state to pay.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
TO: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Design Agreement Amendment - Substation Circuit Switcher Project 21-27, 21-28
& 21-29
Summary: Design is required for installation of new feeder relays(CFP 01-02) for the Laurel
Street(Proj eot 21-27), "F" Street(Proj eot 21-28) and Washington Street(Proj eot 21-29)
substations. The new electronic relays will improve data acquisition and system reliability.
Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement amendment with TriAxis
Engineering of Corvallis, Oregon to add the design of new feeder relays to Projects 21-27,
21-28 and 21-29 for $45,000, for a revised total for the agreement not to exceed $103,600.00.
Background / Analysis: The current relays in Laurel, Washington and "F" Street Substations
are mechanical type which have been in service for over 25 years. They require frequent
maintenance, testing and resetting the trip values. They provide for no gathering of diagnostic
and analysis data. Frequently when feeders trip there is no way to tell what caused the trip or
where it occurred.
The replacement of the existing relays with digital units will provide more reliable operation of
the feeders. When mysterious trips do occur, event recorders built into the units will provide
data to help determine what may have happened and at approximately what point on the feeder.
The new relays connected to the fiber optic cables already installed in the substations will allow
interrogation of the relays for event and load information from the office in a much more timely
manner, minimizing the cost of data acquisition.
TriAxis Engineering of Corvallis, Oregon is currently under contract to design circuit switcher
installations in each of these substations and completed a similar design at 'T' Street Substation
satisfactorily recently. TriAxis quoted a design cost of $15,000.00 per substation which is
reasonable although it is greater than the normally expected design cost for a project of this
magnitude. The necessity of creating drawings of the existing equipment in order to specify the
required modifications, significantly increases the work required. City archive drawings are not
complete or up to date for the substations being modified.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Port Angeles, Washington
January 7, 2003
CALL TO ORDER - Mayor Wiggins called the regular meeting of the Port Angeles City Council to order
REGULAR MEETING: at 6:00 p.m.
ROLL CALL: Members Present: Mayor Wiggins, Councilmembers Braun, Campbell,
Ericksun, Headrick, Rogers, and Williams.
Members Absent: None.
Staff Present: Manager Quinn, Attorney Knutson, Clerk Upton, B.
Collins, M. Connelly, G. Cutler, D. McKeen, T. Riepe, and
Y. Ziomkowski.
Public Present: T. Price, P. Lamoureux, D. Colwell, and S. Reed.
PLEDGE OF The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Deputy Mayor Campbell.
ALLEGIANCE:
PUBLIC CEREMONIES, School District Report: Dr. Gary Cobh, Port Angeles School District Superintendent,
PRESENTATIONS AND was present for the purpose of submitting a status report on the impact of the State
PROCLAMATIONS: budget on the School District and what might be expected over the next several months.
With the use of PowerPoint slides, Dr. Cohn advised the Council that school districts
School District Report in Washington depend on the State for the bulk of their revenues. In the case of Port
Angeles, revenue from the State amounts to 70%. Other revenues generated equate to
14% from local voters due to the levy, and the remainder is made up of federal funds
and local revenues. The economy at the national and the local levels has a direct
impact on schools, and the State Legislature has faced the budget woes by severely
cutting various facets of the budget. Dr. Cohn indicated that, in the case of the Port
Angeles School District, the cuts amounted to $660,000. This factor is coupled with
the need for the School District to accommodate some longer term enrollment
downturns.
In order to balance this year's budget, the School District cut about $1.64 million,
$660,000 of which was a result of the cuts the Legislature put in place for this year.
Approximately $940,000 was the result of the declines in enrollment, which resulted
in reduced State fimdin§. Dr. Cohn summarized the various cuts made in order to
balance the budget, to include teaching positions, learning improvement days, classified
positions, an administrative position, and some extra-curricular activities.
Because the State has fiarther significant cuts to make, Dr. Cohn delineated those items
that will be at risk in the local schools. The State has been funding Student
Achievement Funds, a program targeted at elementary schools for the purpose of
getting the students up to standards very early. Another program being jeopardized is
levy equalization, which is intended to assist those districts that are property evaluation
poor. Also in jeopardy are the salary and benefit increases approved by the voters.
The school districts will be fighting to save learning improvement days for teachers,
as well as the Flexible Education Fund, which is a type of block grant from the State.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 7, 2003
School District Report Dr. Corn reviewed in detail the potential loss of revenue because of the State budget
(Cont'd) cuts being considered, feeling it important for the community to be made aware of the
possible impacts to the School District. The District staffis in the process of sharing
the problem-solving with community members, and a fiscal advisory committee has
been working on creating a plan if, in fact, the programs are cut. Every effort is being
made to engage the community in supporting the school district in the legislative work
that must be done. It is important to send a message that full and stable funding must
be provided in order to educate all kids. Dr. Cohn indicated the schools are trying to
change the system from educating some students to high standards to educating all
students to high standards. He noted that the Legislature made a promise several years
ago to implement a standards-based system and to pay for that system. The standards-
based system has been implemented, but the State has not fulfilled its promised in terms
of funding. The Legislators are being asked to hold themselves accountable for the
public's commitment to wages and class sizes.
Dr. Corn expressed concern that, when the levy is passed, there will still be cuts made
equal to 20-40% of the size of the levy itself. It is essential to reinforce the importance
of staying the course in terms of school reform in order to get students to graduation.
Dr. Cohn advised the Council that the ballots for the levy go into the mail on January
13, and the election date is February 4. He distributed informational brochures, noting
that the levy is a continuation of the existing levy with the same projected rate.
Dr. Cohn was thanked for his informative presentation, after which individual
Councilmembers expressed the desire to take a position on the upcoming Maintenance
& Operations Levy. It was acknowledged that public input, pro and con, would need
to be solicited before the Council could take a position. Therefore, it was agreed by
consensus that this public input would be sought regarding the levy at the next Council
meeting to be held January 21, 2003, after which the Council intends to take a position.
Moment of Silence for At this time, before proceeding with the remainder of the meeting, Mayor Wiggins
Former Mayor Prosper asked for a moment of silence in honor of former Councilmember and Mayor Prosper
Ostrowski Ostrowski who recently passed away.
Olympic Discovery Olympic Discovery Marathon: Dr. Larry Little, 1234 E. 2nd Street, was present as a
Marathon representative of the Port Angeles Marathon Association, to submit information on the
proposed "Olympic Discovery Marathon" to be held June 15, 2003. Dr. Little
informed the Council that such a marathon is intended to showcase the Port Angeles
and Sequim area along the Discovery Trail. Also focused in this endeavor is the
natural beauty and warm hospitality of the area, as well as the community's
commitment to volunteerism.
Dr. Little expressed hope that 1000 participants will be attracted in the first three years,
with recognition of the event generated in the athletic community. He indicated the
marathon would start in Sequim and proceed east on the Discovery Trail to a
completion point at Hollywood Beach. At this point, Dr. Little was uncertain as to
whether the City of Sequim would be supportive of the event, as he has yet to introduce
the idea to the City. He delineated important factors to creating a successful event,
such as volunteers for staffing aid stations, seamless transportation for the participants,
and a finish venue for participants and their families. Dr. Little felt there would be
various economic benefits to the area, in that local accommodations would be utilized,
as well as shopping and dining opportunities. He felt that attendees would also avail
themselves of the various activities on the Peninsula. Dr. Little summarized a marathon
conducted in St. George, Utah, comparing the demographics to the Port Angeles area.
Noting that donations are needed to cover start-up costs, Dr. Little indicated efforts are
underway to raise funds and to seek the support of various service groups to sponsor
aid stations. Further volunteer support is needed for the different aspects of the event
as well.

January 7, 2003
Olympic Discovery Following Dr. Little's presentation, Parks & Recreation Director Connelly advised the
Marathon (Cont'd) Council that the Parks Board would be hearing the same presentation in the near future.
He spoke in support of the marathon, noting it would be a good opportunity to use the
Olympic Discovery Trail for its intended purpose. [Clerk's Note: Councilmember
Erickson departed the Council Chambers at 6:35 p.m.] After further discussion, with
Dr. Little answering questions posed by the Council, Councilmember Rogers moved
to endorse the North Olympic Marathon. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Williams and carried unanimously.
WORK SESSION: None.
LATE ITEMS TO BE CouncilmanWilliams asked that the matter of Homeland Security be added as Agenda
PLACED ON THIS OR Item 1.3.
FUTURE AGENDAS:
Mayor Wiggins sought Council input concerning the agenda for the Council retreat to
be held January 25. He previously provided the Council with a list of possible topics
for discussion, and he asked that the Council be prepared to set the agenda at the next
regular meeting.
Paul Lamoureux, 602 Whidby, expressed appreciation to the Council and stafffor their
hard work this past year. He wished all a happy and healthy New Year. In addition,
Mr. Lamoureux offered commentaries concerning the PRIDE sign in the vicinity of
Jefferson Elementary. Noting the disrepair of the sign, he questioned the need to have
a sign with such a negative message, and he suggested that the City remove the sign and
perhaps replace it with one containing a more positive message. Mr. Lamoureux then
directed comments to City projects that have experienced cost overruns. In view of the
current economy, he urged the City to seek a better method of staying close to the final
bid amounts on projects.
FINANCE: None.
CONSENT AGENDA: Councilmember Rogers referenced the memorandumhaving to do with the agreement
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, noting the cost keeps escalating on an annual
basis. Public Works & Utilities Director Cutler provided the history of the agreement,
discussing the extraordinary measures being taken to control the fowl and wildlife in
the vicinity of the Landfill and the Airport. This contract will be in place to the closure
of the Landfill in 2006, and Director Cutler concluded that the costs are escalating due
to employee salaries and benefits. [Clerk's Note: Councilmember Erickson remmed to
the Council Chambers at 6:45 p.m.]
Councilman Braun questioned the expense of $306.80 for a heater hose; Director
Cutler offered to obtain the information and provide it to Councilman Braun at a later
date.
Councilmember Rogers questioned the Roof Drain Disconnection Pilot Project, which
Director Cutler explained is an ongoing project to determine how much can be taken
out of the sanitary system and funneled into the stormwater system. The drainage of
stormwater into the sanitary system has a direct impact on the Combined Sewer
Overflow and the harbor, plus it impacts the amount flowing through the Treatment
Plant and the ultimate longevity of the Treatment Plant. This pilot project will provide
data in terms of a cost benefit analysis so that a determination can be made as to
whether the project should move forward. When asked if the matter went before the
Utility Advisory Committee, Director Cutler indicated this was a budgeted item, and
it was not referred to the UAC.
After further limited discussion, Councilman Braun moved to accept the Consent
Agenda, to include: 1.) City Council Meeting Minutes of December 17, 2002; 2.)
Check Register - December 27, 2002 - $1,224,027.69; 3.) Electronic Payments -

(Cont'd) Department of Agriculture (USDA); 5.) Award Contract for Roof Drain Disconnection
Pilot Project, #99-21; 6.) Final Acceptance for Black Diamond Reservoir
Improvements, Project #99-18. Councilman Campbell seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
CITY COUNCIL Manager Quinn advised the Council of the January 21 City Council work session on
COMMITTEE the Elwha/Morse water issues. In addition, the Real Estate Committee meeting of
REPORTS & January 14 was discussed, and the committee members agreed to change the meeting
CALENDAR: time from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Manager Quirm indicated some Councilmembers had
expressed interest in participating in negotiations with AFSCME. There is a mediation
session with AFSCME this coming Friday, and Manager Quinn extended an invitation
to the Council to attend. Councilmember Rogers reminded the Council of the Capacity
Provisioning open house to celebrate the I-Net completion. The open house will be
held this Friday, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m., at the 8t~ Street Tech Center.
Moving to committee reports, Councilmember Rogers attended a meeting, along with
the Mayor, regarding development issues and potential development projects coming
to the area. Staff and Council are committed to working with the private sector to
generate some new economic packages for attracting development and residential
properties in the area. Councilmember Rogers has been working with Tim Smith on
several items that are generating interest; she noted that Port Angeles is getting more
and more press and is attracting farms that want to co-locate to Port Angeles because
of the maritime industry developments. Mayor Wiggins inquired as to the makeup of
the committee that met on development standards. Councilmember Rogers indicated
this will be a subcomnfittee made up of Manager Quinn, Economic Development
Director Smith, Councilmember Rogers, and a representative of the Engineering staff.
Manager Quinn indicated this will be a joint Council and staff subcommittee, calling
itself the Business Advisory and Development Committee. It was noted that Steve
Zenovic plans to work with this group as well. Manager Quinn indicated the group
would bring recommendations to the Council the first quarter of this year.
Councilman Williams reported on the Gateway meeting held this past Thursday at
which time the i~mal design for the project was reviewed. He indicated that the City
Engineer has agreed there is an open area underground, so design alternatives will be
discussed. Manager Quinn reported on an upcoming meeting with Lee Pardini and
staff on some finalization issues and some design issues for the project. One of the
issues referenced by Councilman Williams may result in some redesign work on the
void area between the retaining walls on Front Street and, ultimately, Council approval
will be required if there are any additional costs in order to preserve that area. It is
unknown at this time what the engineering costs might be, and Mayor Wiggins
questioned the need to spend additional funds, particularly since he didn't recall that
the Council had decided there was something worth saving on the north side of Front
Street from the standpoint of the underground. He recalled that the possibility of
Laurel Street would be considered at a future date as part of Phase III. Councilman
Williams reported he had listened to the Council audio tapes on the subject, and he
indicated he would share this information with the Council at its upcoming retreat.
Discussion followed, and Manager Quinn emphasized the need to obtain a cost estimate
if the area in question is to be filled.

OTHER 1. Appointments & Reappointrnents to City Boards, Commissions &
CONSIDERATIONS: Committees:
Appointments & Clerk Upton advised the Council of additional vacancies that must be filled: David
Reappointments to City Morris will be leaving the Parks, Recreation & Beautification Commission, and Mary
Boards, Commissions & Craver has resigned from the Planning Commission. She noted that the
Committees recommendationpertinent to the membership of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
was considered and forwarded by the LTAC membership.
Councilman Williams inquired as to whether the Council should formally approve the
name change of the Downtown Forward Executive Committee to the Port Angeles
Forward Executive Committee, which is something that has been discussed at length.
Clerk Upton agreed that, since the committee was initially created by motion of the
City Council, it would be appropriate for the Council to endorse the name change.
Therefore, Councilman Williams moved to endorse the name change of the
Downtown Forward Executive Committee to the "Port Angeles Forward
Executive Committee". The motion was seconded by Couneilmember Rogers and
carried unanimously. With respect to the recommendation from staff,
Couneilmember Eriekson moved to approve the appointments and
reappointments to City Board, Commissions, and Committees as presented and
to direct staff to seek interested applicants to fill vacancies as identified, via news
releases, paid ads, and the like. Councilman Headriek seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
Set Public Hearing for 2. Recovery of Cost for Abatement of Structure at 604 S. "B" Street:
Abatement of Structure
Councilman Williams moved to set a public hearing to accept public comment on
the abatement cost for the structure removed at 604 S. "B" Street for February
4, 2003 and, further, to direct the City Clerk to proceed with the notification of
the owners and other interested parties as required by the 1997 Uniform Code for
the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Braun and carried unanimously.
Homeland Security 3. Homeland Security:
Attorney Knutson informed the Council that Councilman Williams had asked if the
State Open Public Meetings Act allowed for Executive Session discussion on matters
of Homeland Security. Initially, he didn't recall there was such a provision in the Act,
but after checking further, there is a provision in the Act that provides for Executive
Session discussions to consider matters affecting national security. If there were no
such provision, Councilman Williams had expressed the desire to seek legislation in
that regard. Attorney Knutson indicated the Legislature recently amended the State
Public Disclosure Act to allow for this type of information to be exempt from public
disclosure if it was in written form, but the law akeady allows for discussion of
governing bodies in Executive Session if it affects national security.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: MANTOOTH ANNEXATION ORDINANCE - ANX 02-02
LINDBERG ROAD
Summary: An ordinance finalizing the Mantooth Annexation.
Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City
Council adopt the attached ordinance finalizing Council's earlier action (August, 2002) wherein the
Council determined that annexation of the property is in the best interest and general welfare of the
City.
Background / Analysis: A petition was submitted by Dr. and Mrs. James Mantooth requesting
annexation by election of their property which consists of approximately 29.30 acres of land on July
29, 2002. The petition was valid as it contained 100% of the property owners'signatures, and,
following passage of Resolution 6-02 on August 6, 2002, was certified by the County Auditor.
Resolution 6-02 called for a general election in November, 2002, to determine whether the
annexation was acceptable to property owners within the area of annexation. The election ballot
passed unanimously and staff has prepared the final zoning map change and ordinance to finalize
the annexation. The petitioners are aware and concur with the proposed zoning designation for the
annexed property.
At this time, Council should adopt the annexation ordinance and zoning map identifying the area and
its zoning designation. The original zoning map is not attached to this memorandum due to its size
but will be available at the meeting. A smaller exhibit of the subject area is attached to the
annexation ordinance.
Staff will be available at the meeting for any questions Council may have.

RESOLUTION OF THE PORT ANGELES CITY COUNCIL
Whereas, THE PORT ANGELES SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 121 HAS SUBMITTED A
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS LEVY RENEWAL TO REPLACE THE EXISTING
THREE-YEAR LEVY WITH A TWO-YEAR LEVY REQUEST;
Whereas, THE PURPOSE OF THE LEVY IS TO MEET THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Becky J. Upton, City Clerk/Management Assistant
SUBJECT: Appointments to Fill Two Vacancies on
Law Enforcement Advisory Board
Summary: City staff has been seeking applicants to fill three vacant positions on the Law
Enforcement Advisory Board. Thus far, two individuals have submitted applications and have been
interviewed by the Law Enforcement Advisory Board. The Police Chief would like to proceed with
two appointments at this time and continue seeking applicants for the third vacant position.
Recommendation: The Law Enforcement Advisory Board recommends that the City
Council appoint Alan Barnard and Maria Pefia to the Law Enforcement Advisory Board for
the unexpired terms ending February 28, 2003 and for the terms, March 1, 2003 - February
28, 2007.
Background / Analysis: Early in November, 2002, the City Council was advised of two vacancies
on the Law Enforcement Advisory Board. David Brewer had resigned due to a move to Sequim, and
the untimely death of Leland Lee created a second vacancy. Since that time, Mr. Chuck Lisk has
resigned from the Advisory Board.
Alan Barnard and Maria Pefia have applied for appointment to the Law Enforcement Advisory
Board, and the Board's membership wholeheartedly supports their appointment. Both individuals
bring a great deal of interest, enthusiasm, and professionalism to the membership, and we welcome
their participation. Copies of their applications are attached for your review.
City staff will continue to seek applicants to fill the third vacant position.

CiTY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CiTY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Set a Public Hearing on Fluoridating the City Water System
Summary: A coalition of local health professionals are encouraging local water purveyors to
fluoridate their systems to improve the health of the citizens. They desire to explain the benefits
and encourage the City to fluoridate its system.
Recommendation: Set a public hearing for February 18, 2003 to listen to a presentation on
fluoridating the City water system and obtain comments from the public.
Background/Analysis: A coalition of local medical professionals comprised of dentists,
physicians and administrators, including the County Health Officer, Dr. Locke, presented a
compelling case for fluoridating the local water supplies in Clallam County at the January Utility
Advisory Committee (UAC) meeting. The UAC considered the issue important enough that it
should be discussed at an up coming City Council meeting.
The UAC recommended that City Council set a public heating date for February 18, 2003 to
enable the coalition to make a presentation and solicit public comment on fluoridating the City
water supply. .
The coalition was introduced by Jim Laskinovitch, Olympic Medical Center Commissioner. If
the public hearing is set, he will introduce the topic at the February 18, 2003 Council meeting.
It is recommended that the public hearing be set for February 18, 2003.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
Subject: Fiber Optic Wide Area Network Use Agreement Amendments and Acceptance
Summary: Northland Cable Television, Inc. (Northland) has constructed the dark fiber link and
nodes, excluding the network interconnection, comprising the backbone of the Institutional
Network (i-Net) fast-track project. The fast-track dark fiber link and nodes have been inspected,
tested and accepted by staff and Metropolitan Communications Consultants (M.C.C.) as being
complete. There are three categories of proposed amendments including: dark fiber policy
related changes, network interconnection revisions, and new provisions related to access to node
enclosures. All City payments for Northland's costs have been made with the exception of the
final payment representing the project management fee. On January 14, 2003, the Utility
Advisory Committee (UAC) supported the recommendations herein.
Recommendation: Approve the dark fiber policy, network interconnection, and access to
node enclosures amendments to the Fiber Optic Wide Area Network Use Agreement,
accept the dark fiber link and nodes, and authorize the release of the project management
fee to Northland in the amount of $55,000.
Background/Analysis: On August 20, 2002, the City Council approved the I-Net fast track
including the Fiber Optic Wide Area Network Use Agreement (WAN Use Agreement) with
Northland and the I-Net Services Agreement with Capacity Provisioning, Inc. (C.P.I.). On
October 15, 2002, the City Council approved an I-Net dark fiber policy and instructed staffto
negotiate a mutually acceptable amendment to the Cable Television Franchise Ordinance No.
3116 (Franchise), and/or WAN Use Agreement, to allow Northland to use reserve fibers for
private wide area networks without restrictions related to bandwidth being available by a
commercial service provider that uses the reserve fibers.
Proposed Amendments: Staff and Northland have negotiated amendments to the WAN Use
Agreement including provisions for use of dark fiber, a delay to the network intercormection, and
inclusion of policies relating to access to node enclosures. Amendments conforming the
Franchise to the WAN Use Agreement are under discussion with Northland and WaveDivision
as part of the franchise transfer request. The Fiber Optic Wide Area Network Use Agreement
was assigned by the City to Capacity Provisioning, Inc. who has also indicated that the proposed
amendments are acceptable. A summary of the proposed amendments to the WAN Use
Agreement are provided on the following page. Complete text of the proposed amendments is
available upon request.
43
January 21, 2003 City Council
RE: Fiber Optic WAN Use Agrecnnent Amendments and Acceptance
Page 2
Dark Fiber Policy Proposed Amendment: A new subsection (1.13) has been negotiated that will
allow Northland to use dark fibers for private wide area networks either before or after
bandwidth is available from a commercial service provider. Approval of the proposed dark fiber
amendment would satisfy the City's I-Net dark fiber use policy No. 4.
Network Interconnection Proposed Amendment: As part of the inspection of the fiber link and
nodes, it was evident that a portion of the fiber link was not completed by Northland. The
incomplete section (from the Washington Substation Node to the Clallam County Public Utility
District interconnection) represents 29% of the fiber link length. Northland has expressed a
willingness to complete the interconnection within sixty days of the City's future request.
Postponing the interconnection will postpone City payment of the construction cost due
Northland (estimated not to exceed $5,000). Postponing the interconnection will also postpone a
$550 increase to the City's monthly recurring costs under the WAN Use Agreement.
As part of the network interconnection amendment, subsections 1.5, 1.6, 3.2 and Exhibit A need
to be revised. The revisions to subsections 1.5 and 1.6 allow the interconnection to be completed
within sixty days of the City's request. The revision to subsection 3.2 adjusts the monthly
recurring costs the City must pay for the fiber link and nodes, and establishes an additional
monthly recurring cost for the interconnection. The revision to Exhibit A is limited to replacing
eight bullets with headings A-G.
Node Access Proposed Amendment: Section 7.1 of the current WAN Use Agreement specifies
that the City or its assigned entity shall comply with Northland's node access policies and
procedures. Northland has further defined its policies and procedures which have been
negotiated in subsections 7.1-7.6 and 10.2.6. Northland is concerned about their risk and liability
inherent in granting the City or its assigned entity physical access to the node enclosures. The
node enclosures are provided electrical service and house an environmental control system and
electronic equipment representing a sizeable investment. The potential hazardous condition and
possible disruption or damage to electronic equipment represents both risk, liability and quality
of service concerns for Northland, the City and its assignees.
Dark Fiber Link and Nodes Acceptance: Northland's dark fiber link and nodes, which form
the fast-track backbone of the network, are complete and were tested on November 27, 2002. On
November 27, 2002, staff and M.C.C. inspected the dark fiber link and nodes and observed
network testing. On December 16, 2002, Northland provided the test results and on December
20, 2002 provided required as-built documentation to the City. Staff is pleased to report that,
although there was a 6-week delay in completing the dark fiber link and nodes (due to the node
enclosure vendor late shipment beyond Northland's control), Northland has successfully
completed the fast-track project in a prompt fashion and significantly below budget. Excluding
the network interconnection to the Clallam County Public Utility District, there were no contract
changes or unit quantity variations on the project.
January 21, 2003 City Council
RE: Fiber Optic Wide Area Network Use Agreement Amendments and Acceptance
Page 3
Now that Northland has fully satisfied the requirements of the Agreement to construct the dark
fiber link and nodes (except for the interconnection), formal acceptance of the dark fiber link and
nodes, initial proof of performance, and final payment of the project management fee is
recommended. Construction and testing have been verified, the initial proof of performance
demonstrated that the dark fiber link and nodes are within design losses, and as-built documents
have been received (route map, cable storage locations, splice point locations, and fiber splice
matrix). A copy of M.C.C.'s recommendation to accept the dark fiber link and nodes is attached.
A summary of the City's cost for the dark fiber link and nodes under the WAN Use Agreement is
presented below. We are very pleased to report that the dark fiber link and nodes were
completed $66,592.08 or 20.2% below budget. This project was included in the 2002 Light
Utility fund budget for the I-Net.
Original Agreement Final Cost Project Cost Variance
$330,000.00 $263,407.92 -20.2%
Completion of the fiber link and nodes is part of the fast-track backbone which does not satisfy
the I-Net requirements of the Cable Television Franchise Ordinance No. 3116 (Franchise). The
Franchise required I-Net, upgrading the fast-track fiber link and nodes to include twenty-four
fiber optic strands in accordance with the Franchise, is not anticipated to be constructed and
available until April 27, 2004. Satisfaction of the I-Net and other Franchise requirements will
provide Northland the opportunity to extend their five-year Franchise to a fifteen-year term.
The preceding information was presented and approved by the UAC at their January 14, 2003
meeting. The UAC members were extremely pleased with the cooperative public/private venture
that is bringing broadband services and enhanced television services to the community. The
overall project costs are approximately $893,768 or 8.4% of the original $10,700,000 projected
cost (identified in the May 1,2001 fiber optic business plan) if pursued without private
participation.

Re: Northland Backbone (WAN Use Agreement)--MCC Recommendation for Acceptance
Dear Larry:
The Fiber Link Backbone, in accordance with Exhibit A of the WAN Use Agreement between Northland
Cable Television and the City, has been completed by Northland. Steven Beckett of MCC has inspected the
work and observed the OTDR testing by Northland on November 27 and confirms that the provisions of
the WAN Use Agreement have been met, excluding the amendment under consideration for the network
interconnection as noted in Attachment 1 hereto.
As built documentation provided to the City in hard copy and electronic format and OTDR testing
summaries are shown in Attachment 2. We recommend acceptance of the completed work by the City
Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: SUE ROBERDS, ASSISTANT PLANNER
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 02-02
CITY OF PORT ANGELES - Proposed revision to Titles 16 (Subdivision) and 17 (Zoning)
Summary_: Proposed amendments to the City's Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances to provide
clarity.
Recommendation: The Department of Community Development recommends that the City
Council adopt the attached draft ordinances amending Titles 16 (Subdivision) and 17 (Zoning) of
the Port Angeles Municipal Code, citing the attached findings and conclusions in support of the
action.
Background / Analysis:
During the year, staffnotes land use regulations that may need clarification, do not match current
interpretation or policy, or are obviously in error. Proposals are then formulated and forwarded to
the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for subsequent action. The
current Municipal Code amendments are proposed in an effort to revise and update confusing
wording found in Titles 16 and 17 of the Municipal Code. Specific analysis of the proposed
amendments is made in the attached Department Report which was presented to the Planning
Commission on January 8, 2003. Following is a brief summary of the proposals.
Short Subdivision Ordinance (Title 16):
(1) Existing wording allows for an assignment of acceptable security in lieu of actual installation
of certain improvements in order to allow a short plat to be finaled which will enable earlier
development of short plats in some cases. The wording proposed would allow building permits to
be issued to the developer of the short plat who could begin the development; however, occupancies
of structures would not be permitted until the final installation of required improvements. While this
wording was earlier placed within the body of the Subdivision Ordinance, it was not carded through
to the Short Subdivision Ordinance. The wording is suggested in an effort to stimulate plat
development and is appropriate to also be contained within the Short Subdivision Ordinance.

(2) The Subdivision section of the Municipal Code provides information regarding appeal of
decisions of the Community Development Director. Existing wording does not clarify the type of
appeal (open or closed record) or the time period in which such an action must be taken. Wording
is suggested in the Subdivision section to provide procedural information for both staff and the
public.
Zoning Ordinance (Title 17):
(3) Boundary line adjustments have become very popular but information found in the standards
is still a bit vague about when adjustments can be made. The proposed wording further explains
when these types of adjustments can be made and how such an adjustment will be legally recorded.
(4) The Department regularly receives questions and in some cases completed applications for
family day care homes where a permit is not required. The proposed information is an attempt to
provide early clarification as to when City permits are required.
(5) Wording is proposed within Section 17.24.200 Development Standards for the Central
Business District to eliminate confusing referencing found in the building height section. Currently
wording in the development standards refers to the Shoreline Master Program to set the height
limitation which then refers back to the Zoning Ordinance. This circular referencing is confusing
at best and not necessary. Staff suggests that the height be clearly stated with further reference only
to the ability to increase the set standard through the conditional use permit process.
Following a public hearing conducted on January 8, 2003, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to
forward a recommendation of approval of the proposed amendments to the City Council. An excerpt
of the Commission's minutes is attached for your review. Staff's report is attached with draft
ordinances and findings and conclusions in support of the recommended action. Staff will be
available for questions.

PUBLIC HEARING:
MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 02-02 CITY OF PORT
ANGELES. City-wide: Proposal to amend the Port Angeles Municipal Code to
clarify confusing wording found in Titles 16 (Subdivision) and 17 (Zoning).
Assistant Planner Sue Roberds presented the Department's report recommending changes to Titles
16 and 17 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code. She noted a late memorandum to include a further
change to Section 16.04.120 to include procedural wording for short plat appeals and responded to
a suggestion as to form relative to the proposed wording from Commissioner Hewins.
Commissioner Hewins noted that he had asked for a definition of"quasi public" to be placed within
the text of the Zoning Ordinance for future dealings with groups such as the YMCA that have been
considered to be "quasi public" in the past.
Chair Schramm opened the public hearing. There being no public, he then closed the public hearing.
Following brief discussion, Commissioner Norton moved to recommend that the City Council
approve Municipal Code Amendment MCA 02-02 including stall's recommended wording for
Section 16.04.120 Appeals citing the following findings and conclusions:

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT
DATE: January 8, 2003
TO: Chair Schramm and Planning Commissioners
FROM: Sue Roberds, Assistant Planner
RE: MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 02-02
APPLICANT: City of Port Angeles
LOCATION: City-wide
PROPOSAL: Amendment to the City's Municipal Code making administrative changes to clarify
the intent of existing language in Title 16 (Subdivision) and Section 17.24 (Central
Business District) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code
RECOMMENDATION
Department of Community Development staff recommends that the Planning Commission
forward a recommendation of approval of MCA 02- 02 to the City Council based on the 8
findings and 3 conclusions in Attachment A to this report.
BACKGROUND
During the year, staffnotes areas in the Municipal Code, particularly with regard to land use issues, that may
need clarification, do not match current interpretation or policy, or are obviously in error. Proposals are then
formulated and forwarded to the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for
subsequent action.
Municipal Code Amendment MCA 02-02 is proposed in an effort to revise and update confusing wording
found in Sections 16 and 17 of the Municipal Code.
63
Municipal Code Amendments - MCA 02-02
City of Port Angeles
Page 2
The amendment proposals are analyzed as follows and a draft ordinance outlining proposed wording is
attached for your review.
Amendment to Section 16.04.150 Final Short Plat - Improvements - Bond in Lieu When wording should be
replaced with current wording adopted in 2002 for subdivisions (Section 16.08.110) to allow building permits
to be issued to a developer if a bond for improvements has been accepted.
Proposed wording would allow for building permits to be issued tO a developer to begin construction
but, because permits would be issued to the developer, occupancies would not be permitted until
required improvements are in place. The proposal goes a bit further than the change to Section 1604
(Short Plat Regulations) made during the summer of 2002 where properties are allowed to be offered
for sale prior to final plat approval. The current amendment would then allow for those sales to be
made and structures begun thereby providing a flow of funds to assist the completion of final
improvements. This wording was adopted for earlier Section 16 08 (Subdivision Regulations) but not
for Section 16. 04.
Amendment to Section 16.12.030 Definitions (Boundary Line Adjustment) wording defining that boundary
line adjustments may occur in nonconforming situations as long as the degree of nonconformity is not being
increased.
Several boundary line adjustments submitted in 2002 were approved to adjust boundary lines between
properties where due to an adjustment a nonconforming situation was lessened but some nonconformity
remained. For example, a nonconforming property may be increased in area due to an adjustment but
the lot size remains under the minimum for the underlying zone. In this case, the lot area is increased
moving toward conformity, but not quite there. Staff believes the intent of the boundary line adjustment
regulations is still being met by this movement while not actually creating strictly conforming
situations.
Amendment to Section 16.12.070 Recording such that full surveys are not required for boundary line
adjustments when a single property line is involved.
Current boundary line adjustment procedural wording for filing "surveys" may be burdensome. When
an adjustment involves moving a single property line due to an encroachment, lack of a setback, the
desire to increase a tot area, or some other minimal change, a full survey need not be required. A
survey indicating the new line is adequate. In other instances where an adjustment does not result in a
change in the number of lots but results in the same number of lots with perhaps different
configurations, a new survey should be required because it is a significant change. The clarification is
acceptable to surveying professionals who agree that a true boundary line adjustment should not
require a full survey to accomplish the intent provision.
Section 17.24.200 Central Business District (CBD) Development Standards. The Central Business District
(CBD) development standards are proposed for amendment to clarify that height restrictions in the CBD are
regulated by the Zoning Ordinance.
Currently, wording in the CBD zone is confusing as it refers to height standards as "45feet except that
within the City's shoreline jurisdiction, maximum height shall be determined by the City's Shoreline
Master Program. Where the Shoreline Master Program does not identify a specific height limit,
maximum building height shall be determined through the shoreline permit process. In areas outside of
64
Municipal Code Amendments - MCA 02-02
City of Port Angeles
Page 3
the City's shoreline jurisdiction, additional height may be approved through a conditional use permit
process that considers the impacts upon existing views and solar protection, shadow impacts, and
factors such as the height of the bluff south of First Street." This circular method of determining height
is at best very confusing as the Shoreline Master Program refers to the CBD zone which then refers
back to the Program. The proposal is to simply set a height limitation of 45 feet with conditional use
permit approval over 45feet which is the present standard without making reference to the Shoreline
Master Program hopefully thereby eliminating any confusion. Other than height then, the Shoreline
Master Program requirements would remain applicable within the shoreline area.
Amendment to Section 17.17.030(C) Home Occupations Exempted should be amended to include that the care
of fewer than 13 children is considered a family day care use and is exempted from local permitting.
Frequently people arrive at the counter who are prepared to submit a Home Occupation Permit
application for day care uses which are already exempt. It would be more helpful if the definition
already found in the "Definition" section of the Zoning Ordinance be also placed within the text of
"Home Occupations Exempted" to avoid the confusion and stress to an applicant.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public notification of the intent to amend sections of the Municipal Code for clarity was placed in the Peninsula
Daily News on December 20, 2002. No written public comment was received during the comment period
which ran until January 2, 2003.
STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA):
The City's SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of NonSignificance on the amendments on
January 3, 2003, for the proposal.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW
Growth Management Element
Goal A: To manage growth in a responsible manner that is beneficial to the community as a whole, is
sensitive to the rights and needs of individuals and is consistent with the State of Washington's
Growth Management Act.
The proposal is sensitive to the confusion created by the current wording and is an
effort to make regulations more understandable.
Land Use Element Map Goal, Policies and Objectives
Goal A: "To guide current and future development within the City in a manner that provides certainty
to its citizens about future land use and the flexibility necessary to meet the challenges and
opportunities of the future."

Municipal Code Amendments - MCA 02-02

The proposal is in a continual effort to cladfy regulation language such that flexibility is
possible but where standards are not in doubt.
Policy 2 - "All land use decisions and approvals made by the City Council and/or any of its
appointed Commissions, Boards or Committees should be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and its land use map."
The clarification is consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan in that it
makes wording less ambiguous.
Objective I - The City will review and revise as necessary the existing Zoning Ordinance, Zoning
Map, and other development regulations to ensure consistency with the
Comprehensive P/an."
The City's continual review of confusing language within the text of its ordinances is an
on-going effort to ensure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and formulate
regulations that are understandable and consistent.
Conservation Element
Goal B, Policy 5 - The City shall establish minimum standards for development of properties which
contain or adjoin critical areas for the purpose of protecting such areas and enhancing their
natural functions.
The wording will better establish that the City's zoning ordinance provides for building
heights to 45 feet or more with a conditional use permit within the Central Business
District. Because many properties in the CBD are located within shoreline areas, the
clarification of height limitation further establishes the City's determination to allow
flexibility in the development and consolidation of properties in the CBD shoreline area
while protecting the shoreline.

ATTACHMENT A
Findings and Conclusions In Support of PAMC Amendment MCA 02-02:
Findings;
Based on the information provided in the Department of Community Development Memorandum in
support of Port Angeles Municipal Code Amendment MCA 02-02 dated January 8, 2003, including all
information in the public record file, comments and testimony presented during the public hearings, the
discussion and deliberation, the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that:
1. The applicant, the City of Port Angeles Department of Community Development, proposed
Municipal Code Amendment MCA 02-02 which would amend Sections 17.24.200
(Development Standards in the Central Business District, 17.17.030(C) (Home Occupations
Exempted), 16.04.120 (Short Plat Decision) Appeals; 16.04.150 (Final Short Plat -
Improvements - Bond in Lieu When), 16.12.030 (Boundary Line Adjustment Definitions), and
16.12.070 (Recording of Boundary Line Adjustments) of the Port Angeles Municipal Code to
clarify and further define standards contained therein.
2. During the year, staffnotes areas in the Municipal Code, particularly with regard to land use
issues, that may need clarification, do not match current interpretation or policy, or are
obviously in error. Proposals are then formulated and forwarded to the Planning Commission
for a recommendation to the City Council for subsequent action. Municipal Code Amendment
MCA 02-02 is proposed as an effort to revise and update current wording found in various
sections of the Municipal Code that is confusing
3. Per Section 17.96.100 PAMC Amendments, in determining if an amendment to these
regulations is needed, the City Council shall give due consideration to the proper relationship
of such amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the City's entire zoning regulations. Any
amendment adopted by the City Council may be modified from the form in which it is
advertised within the limits necess, ary to relate properly such amendment or amendments to the
Zoning Regulations. Final action on such modifications shall be subject to review and report of
the Planning Commission prior to final passage by the City Council.
4. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map have been reviewed with respect to the
proposal. Growth Management Element Goal A and Policy A. 1; Land Use Element Map,
Goal, Policies and Objectives Goal A, Policy A.2, Objective 1, and Conservation Element Goal
B Policy 5 were found to be the most relevant with regard to the proposal.
5. Public notification of the intent to review setbacks in the Industrial, Heavy Zone was placed in
the Peninsula Daily News on December 20, 2002. No written public comment was received
during the comment period which ran until January 2, 2003.
6. The City of Port Angeles SEPA Responsible Official issued a Determination of
NonSignificance on January 3, 2003, for the proposal. This satisfies the City's responsibility
under the State Environmental Policy Act.

7. The Port Angeles Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 8, 2002, for
consideration of the proposed amendment. Following the meeting, the Planning Commission
forwarded a recommendation of approval of the proposed amendments to the City Council.
8. The City Council will consider the proposed Municipal Code Amendments at a public hearing
on January 21, 2002.
Conclusions:
Based on information provided in the Department of Community Development Staff Report dated January 8,
2003, for MCA 02-02, including all information in the public record file, comments and testimony presented
during the public hearing, the Planning Commission discussion and deliberation, and the above listed findings,
the City of Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes that:
1. As proposed, the Municipal Code Amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of
the City's Comprehensive Plan including but not limited to: Growth Management Element
Goal A; Land Use Element Map Goal A, Policy A.2, and Objective A. 1, and Conservation
Element Goal B Policy 5.
2. The amendments will result in clarification of existing information contained within the text of
the City's Zoning, Subdivision, and Boundary Line Adjustment regulations making the
information more readily understood.
3. As proposed, the amendments are in the public use and interest.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Cable Television Franchise Transfer Status Report
Summary: The City received a request to transfer the Cable Television Franchise from
Northland Cable Television, Inc. to WaveDivision III, LLC. The transfer application is complete
except for information demonstrating WaveDivision's financial qualifications to meet franchise
obligations.
Recommendation: This is an information only report, no action required.
Background / Analysis: On November 18, 2002 the City received a request to approve the transfer
of Cable Television Franchise Ordinance No. 3116 (Franchise) from Northland Cable Television,
Inc. to WaveDivision III, LLC. The transfer request was made to comply with the Cable
Communications Act and the Franchise. On December 2, 2002, staffreported that the City Manager
approved a consultant contract with Clarence A. West for legal services as part of the proposed
transfer.
The first step in the transfer process included a determination by staff and Mr. West that the
proposed transfer request and supporting documentation were incomplete and inaccurate. As part
of this step the City requested additional and clarifying information from Northland and
WaveDivision. Northland provided its response to the information requested. The City is still
awaiting WaveDivision's financial qualification information.
In order to satisfy the City's potential concerns in reference to WaveDivision's financial
qualifications, a construction bond alternative to ensure completion of the institutional network is
under consideration. The next step of the transfer process is dependent upon WaveDivision's
financial qualifications that demonstrate their capabilities to meet franchise obligations. It's
anticipated that the Utility Advisory Committee will consider the transfer request at their March
meeting and the recommendation will be presented to Council at the last meeting in March. This
schedule will meet the requirements of the Cable Communications Act.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 21, 2003
To: MAYOR WIGGINS AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
Subject: Institutional Network Services Agreement Completion
Summary: Capacity Provisioning, Inc. (CPI) has constructed the fiber optic site drops to reach
City facilities, installed equipment in node enclosures and customer premises equipment at City
facilities which are now fully functional, all of which represents the last mile fast-track
components of the Institutional Network (I-Net). The project has been inspected, tested and
accepted by staff and Metropolitan Communications Consultants (M.C.C.) as being complete.
City payment of the non-recurring base service charge was promptly made upon the availability
of services in accordance with the 1-Net Services Agreement.
Recommendation: No formal action required, for information only.
Background/Analysis: On August 20, 2002, the City Council approved the Institutional
Network fast track including the I-Net Services Agreement with Capacity Provisioning, Inc.
(C.P.I.) and the Fiber Optic Wide Area Network Use Agreement with Northland Cable
Television, Inc. On October 15, 2002, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute
contract changes under the I-Net Services Agreement related to contingencies and associated
completion schedules. On December 17, 2002, the City Council approved amendments to the I-
Net Services Agreement to include Washington State sales tax and authorized the use of the
overall I-Net project contingency funding for local area networks as necessary.
C.P.I.'s construction of fiber optic site drops, including installation of node equipment and
customer premises equipment, is complete. On December 30, 2002, C.P.I. certified to the City
that their work was complete and provided test results and as-built documentation. On January 2
& 3, 2003, staff and Metropolitan Communications Consultants inspected the site drops, node
equipment and customer premises equipment and spot checked network testing.
Staff is pleased to report that although there was a 6-week delay in completing the fiber link and
nodes (due to the node enclosure vendor late shipment beyond Northland's control) that C.P.I.
has successfully constructed thc fiber link and nodes only 1 week behind the original date
services were scheduled to be available (December 23, 2002).

January 21, 2003 City Council
RE: Institutional Network Services Agreement Completion
Page 2
C.P.I. has fully satisfied the base services of the Agreement, excluding local area network
services that are underway as scheduled. Construction and testing was verified and as-built
documents were received (route map, schematics, site plans, etc.). A copy of MCC's
recommendation to accept the I-Net services is attached. The minor corrections cited in MCC's
recommendations have been made and $4,788.18 has been withheld until associated work is
completed. The withheld payment will be made as part of the local area network services once
all work has been completed.
Below is a summary of the City non-recurring cost of the services received, including contract
changes and unit quantity variations, under the I-Net Services Agreement. The remaining non-
recurring amount due C.P.I. under the I-Net Services Agreement for completing the local area
network services is not included. Recurring monthly costs will begin to be incurred by the City
in accordance with the I-Net Services Agreement. It is anticipated that the complete I-Net
project, including the fast-track and full I-Net will be completed within the $893,768 capital
expense budget. The I-Net project was included in the 2002 Light budget.
The original Agreement amount was $328,600.00 and the final cost, including contract changes
in the amount of $66,034.43, was $394,634.42. Contract changes totalled $29,907.60 and
increased unit quantities totalled $36,126.83. Since the I-Net Services Agreement is a service
contract, there was no retainage withheld from final payment to C.P.I.
Contract changes included the addition of sales tax to the Agreement ($29,907.60). The unit
quantity variations consisted primarily of increases to site drops ($25,535.13) and node enclosure
uninterruptible power supplies ($10,591.70). An additional $4,788.18 amount is being withheld
until work related to site drops is completed at City Hall and the Carnegie Library.

FROM: Dan McKeen, Fire Chief ~ ~
SUBJECT: Fire Department 2002 Annual Report
It is with great pride that the Fire Department presents the 2002 copy of our Annual Report. The
report reflects the accomplishments and activities of the Department during our 111th year of
dedicated service to the citizens and visitors or Port Angeles.
2002 brought many challenges and successes, which are for the most part, outlined in our Annual
Report. The Fire Department will be providing the Council with a "condensed" presentation of our
Annual Report during the January 21 City Council meeting.
I would like to thank the City Council, City Manager, and City staff for your support. The Fire
Department realizes that it is through this support that we can carry out our mission to provide
exceptional emergency services directed at improving the quality of life for the citizens and visitors
of Port Angeles.

effectiveness through pmmerships with other
governmental agencies
· Fl) Objective - Explore coo~ve service opportunities
with Clallam County Fire District #2 where
operational,financial, or organizational efficiencies could
be achieved
· Related Projects
- Joint purchase offire hose tester
- Radio frequency standardization

Performance Indicators
Why are they important?
The paramedic outcome study
· Until the study, paramedic's treatment of injured
patients was similar to the treatment of cardiac
patients - take the time at the scene to stabilize prior
to transport.
· Using outcomes, physicians determined that non-
paramedic personnel were more effective in saving
the life of a severely injured patient than paramedics.
· New procedures that focused on rapid-transport were
adopted as a result of the studies. These new
procedures significantly improved patient outcome.
Performance Indicators
What are they?
· Inputs (Spending & Staffing)
· Outputs (Work Load)
- Number of Responses
- Number of Fire Inspections
- Number of Training Hours
· Outcome (Results)

Performance Indicators
Call Volume - Reasons for Increase
Best Guess
As an individUals ability to access health care
decreases, our call volume increases.
Many citizens rely on 9-1-1 as their primary
access to health care. - Lack of insurance
- Lack of transportation
- Decreased access to evaluate and/or preventative
care which leads to more urgent need
Performance Indicators
Call Volume - Organizational Impacts
Increased call-volume leads to:
- Less time for mandated training
- Less time for fire prevention activities
- Increased simultaneous calls for service
· Higher response times
· Increased cost
Performance Indicators
How can they affect us?
Example - Fire Department Training
- Up until now, the Fire Department's training program
focused on hours spent training to determine
success. Training hours are identified in our monthly
report.
· Hours spent training cannot necessarily tell
administration if the majodty of flrefighters are highly
competent in those "bread & butter' skills.
· An outcome measurement would identify the
percentage of firefighters able to safely and
competently perform the above required skills.
Current Issues
· Declining Revenue
- In 2003, the Fire Department will be exploring the
feasibility of billing the third-party payer for ambulance
transports.
· Increasing Call Volume
- Increase efficiencies where possible
- Re-prioritize programs as needed
· Existing Codes vs. Economic Development
- Reevaluate some of the prescriptive codes from a
performance-based perspective

CiTY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 16, 2002
To: CiTY COUNCIL
FROM: Michael Quinn, City Manager ~
SUBJECT: 2002 Year-End Status: Community Work Plan
Summary: The Community Work Plan contains the Goals, Objectives, Programs/Projects for
direction and priority to be accomplished within budgeted resources for 2002. These
programs/projects are generally identifiable and separate from on-going operations, and therefore
can be tracked for progress and completion. The report highlights the year's progress in terms of
being complete or having substantial progress and in terms of having little to no progress.
Recommendation: Information Only with no required action by the Council. The report
information will aid your understanding of those projects in transition to the 2003 Community Work
Plan.
Background / Analysis: The 2002 Community Work Plan contained the priority input from
the City Council in determining the various projects for specific action and tracking for performance
measurement in terms of success. We had a very aggressive work plan with several projects known
as multi-year efforts, several projects that had a long history of prior activity, and many new efforts
desired by the City Council and staff. In summary, the following statistics will give a snapshot of
the degree of accomplishment:
Goal # of Proiects Complete/Substantial Progress Little Progress/Deferred
Financial Stability 12 10 2
The deferred projects include efforts associated with Business Registration, and Equipment
Replacement recommendations for our major equipment and fire apparatus needs.
Intergovernmental Relations 10 10 0
Quality Municipal Services 29 27 2
The deferred projects both include efforts associated with technology dealing with Wireless
Database and with Wireless Installations dedicated to Pen-Com.
Employee Excellence 8 7 1
The deferred project deals with incorporating new Ergonomic Regulations that were delayed
in their application by the State.
Community Development 28 22 6
The deferred projects deal with projects~l~jpacted by the efforts and involvement of outside

interests and agencies such as projects associated with the SE Reservoir Construction, Expansion
of the UGA to Deer Park, and the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center "Front-Yard" Plan and
Completion. Other projects were impacted by staff priorities and construction timing such as
Construction of Wastewater Pump Stations l &3, Inventory of City Properties, and Improving the
Long House Usage at Lincoln Park.
Economic Development 10 9 1
The deferred project involves the efforts to create a comprehensive Waterfront l/ision.
Community Livability 8 7 1
The deferred project involves Update of the Critical Areas Ordinance.
Community Relations 9_ 7 2
The deferred projects include Internet Billing Functions and the establishment o fin formation
Kiosk,.
Total by Number 114 99 15
Total by Percentage 87% 13 %
While there could be varying degrees of completion perceived between the City Council and the
staff, the basic purpose of this document was to provide direction and focus. Our focus as a staffwas
first in the high priority projects and secondly to accomplish as many of the projects as possible and
assure the remaining projects receive adequate attention and follow-up. To this end, 51% of all
projects were completed with 36% in varying stages of significant progress, and only 13% receiving
little effort for various reasons. All projects that were not completed are carded forward for 2003.
In terms of looking at the highest priority projects as noted by the City Council, 43 out of 47 of these
projects, or 91%, were completed or in varying stages of substantial accomplishment per staff's
opinion.

2002 - OUR COMMUNITY WORKPLAN
PROJECT UPDATE- DECEMBER- YEAR END
GOAL: FINANCIAL STABILITY
Provide consistent and quality municipal services through the adequacy,
utilization, and development of financial resources that maximize return on
!nvestment, leverage of outside sources, and equity for local taxpayers.
1. Refinance and/or redevelop LID211 (Del Guzzi), along with other potential issues, to
improve finances and reduce long-term debt liability (****)
This project liability has been budgeted for 2003 to satisfy the bonded debt
payment. In addition, there has been some interest by the Cascadia Center development
group to acquire the property, although no formal offers have been submitted. Absent
some other development interest, we will not be able to defer this liability. COMPLETE
2. Stabilize the Fine Arts Center Budget and broaden revenue support for continuing
operations (****)
The Joint Operations Committee between the City, Friends & Trustees, has met to
review goals and operations. The 2003 Budget has continued the $15,000 General Fund
support, and additional grants have been incorporated into the work plan. Revenue
support has been broadened, and better communications and financial information has
been initiated. COMPLETE
3. Evaluate the financial system software and hardware proposals for operational
implementation (****)
The conversion and training for the HTE system for financial software and
applicable hardware is proceeding at a furious but manageable pace. All preliminary
indications are that the system will serve the City well for the next decade. COMPLETE
-1-
4. Pursue outside funding sources/grants for capital projects like the Downtown Convention
Center, Downtown Parking, planning phase of the Pool Renovation, facilities such as the
Fine Arts Center and Marine Life Center, Lauridsen Boulevard bridge, 5th & Race
signalization, Ennis Creek bridge, non-motorized improvements, and the Carnegie Library
renovation (***)
The grant requests for these projects have been pursued with varying degrees of
success as reported in our Capital Facilities Plan. The City staff considers the pursuit of
outside resources for capital and operational needs an important and necessary
component of financial management. Individual projects will be reported as grants are
secured. As an example, the Police Department received over $75,000 in 2002for related
support of operational equipment and other needs. Public Works did receive funding for
the Fifth & Race Street Signalization, the Fifth & Lincoln signal chirpers, Carnegie
Reconstruction, and 80% Bridge Replacement funding for the 8th Street bridges. ON-
GOING OPERATIONS
5. Evaluate the equipment replacement fund and develop a strategic plan (**)
As part of the budget process, this program is under review. Our initial analysis
confirms that prior funding efforts have caught the replacement value reserves to the
initial purchase price, but additional funding is necessary for replacement value. This
formula must be changed in order to eliminate supplemental capital funding for these
necessary equipment replacements. For 2003 we will incorporate the program from HTE
for this project. IN PROCESS
6. Evaluate changes to the business license regulation (*)
A Business Registration concept has been developed which would create a data
base of information on business types and contacts. For a nominal fee, the City would
maintain this information and coordinate it with the Chamber and other agencies. This is
still in staff review and needs input from the business community as well. DEFER TO
2003 Y~ORK PLAN
7. Explore options for fire apparatus equipment replacement.
While we handle the replacement of the Medic Units through the replacement fund,
the large apparatus are not covered; therefore relying on the traditional resources such as
voter-approved bonds. The Fire Department is exploring regional cost-sharing and other
options as part of next year's efforts. DEFER T02003 WORK_PLAN
8. Analyze water and wastewatcr utility rate structure
The approving rate ordinance at a 4% impact for next year was approved at the
11/19/02 Council meeting. The rate increase affected water rates only. COMPLETE
9. Implement GASB 34 accounting standards and requirements into our financial system.
This process has been integrated with our HTE System, and our next financial
statements will incorporate these standards. COMPLETE
10. Establish a community-supported Medic I Foundation to enhance emergency medical
services and public education through increased marketing efforts
The Fire Department is working with United Way to establish the framework for
such a foundation. It is anticipated that a draft proposal should be ready by early next
year. IN PROCESS
-2-
11. Increase revenue for Ocean View Cemetery operations through increased marketing.
The revenue projections for the Budget show an increased trend, mostly through
the pre-need sales. We have increased revenue projections for 2003 and reduced the level
of expense. COMPLETE.
12. Explore the feasibility of establishing a long term, perpetual maintenance fund for the

Recreation staff and the city. He also discussed the remainder of work needing
completion.
One of the goals the Dream Playground project was to consider the establishment
of an endowment program to assist with its long term maintenance.
To answer this challenge the Dream Playground Foundation was formed on
December 9th, 2002. After the initial playground steering committee was
dissolved, a group of previous members formed a "Friends of the Playground"
board which will now act as an oversight group looking for maintenance issues
and pay for those things which need attention. Two of the main things the
, Foundation will be doing each year is to organize a family fun & maintenance
day., ~The purposeof this gathering will: be to work on required annual

to an architectural firm to evaluate and begin the conceptual drawings that will be
needed during the presentation of the project to the community.
At the Erickson Playfield neighborhood meeting the citizen's committee along
with Dan Maguire, Executive Director of the YMCA met with neighbors to
discuss concerns they might have about the Skate/Bike Park being located in
Erickson Playfield. Most concerns were debated and the only one the neighbors
still had at the end of the meeting was the possible increase of noise the
skateboards would have and what kind of impact would be generated in the
neighborhood.

Staff also recommended that conditions 2 & 4 be revised following comments from the Lower
Elwha Klallam Tribe and the applicant.
Paul Perlwitz, Daishowa.4merica representative, 1902 Marine Drive, stated that the staff
report was substantially correct and spoke in favor of the project. Mr. Perlwitz asked for clarification
of proposed condition #4 requiring the proponent to provide public access to a portion of Port
Angeles Harbor.
Director Collins indicated that appropriate access currently exists and that placing additional
signage to clarify the location of the access would satisfy the intent of the condition.
There being no further comments, Chair Schramm closed the public heating. Commissioner
Philpott moved to approve SMA 02-08 without condition #3 requiring native vegetation
around the parking lot and with changes to the language of condition #2 regarding

regulations requiting prescribed business parking and allowing businesses to plan for
their own parking needs in commercial and industrial zones.
Director Collins presented information on the proposed amendment of the parking ordinance
and provided a draft ordinance for discussion. It was explained that the draft ordinance had only
recently been made available to members of the public and that it would be appropriate to open the
public hearing and continue the heating to a future date. Chair Schramm opened the public hearing.
Arla Holzschuh, 105 ~ E. First, Executive Director of Port Angeles Downtown
Association, said that the downtown association had not had a chance to thoroughly review the
proposal and requested continuation of the matter to January 22, 2003.
Commissioner Norton moved to continue the public hearing on MCA 01-02(B) to the
January 22, 2003, Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Philpott seconded the motion
which passed 4-0.
MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT - MCA 02-01 - CITY OF PORT
ANGELES, City Wide: A proposal to amend Section 17.24 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code with regard to development standards in the Industrial, Heavy zone.
Director Collins presented the staff report supporting a recommendation of approval to the
City Council.
Discussion ensued on why elimination or reduction of the front (street) setbacks were not
being suggested. It was stated that the Industrial, Heavy zone often contains nuisance uses and that
a setback from the tight-of-way is appropriate. There being no further discussion, Chair Schramm
closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Rasmussen moved to forward a recommendation of approval to the City
Council citing the following findings and conclusions:
Findings:
Based on the information provided in the Department of Community Development
Memorandum in support of Port Angeles Municipal Code Amendment MCA 02-01 dated
December 11, 2002, including all information in the public record file, comments and
testimony presented during the public heatings, the discussion and deliberation, the City of
Port Angeles Planning Commission hereby finds that:
1. The applicant, the City of Port Angeles Department of Community Development,
proposed Municipal Code Amendment MCA 02-01 which would amend Section
17.34.050 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code to allow flexibility for development
in the Industrial, Heavy zone City-wide. The amendment would remove side setback
requirements in the zone while retaining the 30-foot setback from public tights-of-
way and lot coverage standards.
2. City staff reviewed development codes for several Puget Sound Region
municipalities, specifically, Olympia, Tacoma, Auburn, Enumclaw, and Lynnwood,
to ascertain what the most common setbacks are considered to be in heavy industrial
Planning Commission Minutes
December 1], 2002
Page 7
zones. This research revealed that many other municipalities do not set side setbacks
in heavy industrial zones except where adjacent to, or within a set distance of, a
residential, commercial, or business zone.
3. Per Section 17.96.100 PAMC Amendments, in determining if an amendment to these
regulations is needed, the City Council shall give due consideration to the proper
relationship of such amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the City's entire
zoning regulations. Any amendment adopted by the City Council may be modified
from the form in which it is advertised within the limits necessary to relate properly
such amendment or amendments to the Zoning Regulations. Final action on such
modifications shall be subject to review and report of the Planning Commission prior
to final passage by the City Council.
4. The City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map have been reviewed with respect
to the proposal. Growth Management Element Goal A and Policy A. 1; Land Use
Element Map, Goal, Policies and Objectives Goal A, Policy A.2, and Objective 1;
and Industrial Goals and Policies Goal G. and Policy G. 1 were found to be the most
relevant with regard to the proposal.
5. Industrial, Heavy zoned properties are mainly found along the Harbor area and south
and west of the William R. Fairchild International Airport. With that in mind,
potential impacts of heavy industrial development to potential adjacent residential
properties could be mitigated by the establishment of setbacks relative to residential
or commercial uses in the event a IH zone exists adjacent to a residential or
commercial property.
6. Review of Section 17.34.050 (Industrial Heavy IH Zone)of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code indicated that there is no maximum height limitation in the IH zone.
It is believed that the lack'of such a standard in the IH zone may have been due to the
historic mill uses which required very tall flues. In order to provide flexibility for
development while still ensuring an expected development pattern, staff has proposed
a height limitation consistent with the tallest IH buildings that exist in the City. The
ability to allow an increase in the maximum height would be retained through the
imposition of a conditional use permit.
7. The Port Angeles Fire Department reported that existing equipment can service a 75-
foot tall structure from outside. Taller structures would require an interior approach.
The Fire Marshall reported that buildings taller than 75 feet would be constructed
under more strict development standards relative to fire protection.
8. Public notification of the intent to review setbacks in the Industrial, Heavy Zone was
placed in the Peninsula Daily News on November 22, 2002. No written public
comment was received during the comment period which ran until December 9,
2002.
9. The City of Port Angeles SEla~ ]~}esponsible Official issued a Determination of
Planning Commission Minutes
December ! 1, 2002
Page 8
NonSignificance on December 10, 2002, for the proposal. This satisfies the City's
responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act.
10. The Port Angeles Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on December 11,
2002, for consideration of the proposed amendment. Following the meeting, the
Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval of the proposed
setback elimination and height standard to the City Council.
11. The City Council will consider the proposed amendment to the Industrial, Heavy
zone at a public hearing on December 17, 2002.
Conclusions:
Based on the information provided in the Department of Community Development Staff
Report dated December 11, 2002, for MCA 02-01, including all information in the public
record file, comments and testimony presented during the public heating, the Planning
Commission discussion and deliberation, and the above listed findings, the City of Port
Angeles Planning Commission hereby concludes that:
1.' As proposed, the Municipal Code Amendment is consistent with the goals and
policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan including but not limited to: Growth
Management Element Goal A, Policy 1 and Policy 1.g; Land Use Element Map Goal
A, Policy A.2, and Objective A. 1; and Industrial Goals and Policies Goal G, and
Policy G. 1.
2. The amendment will result in improved flexibility in the development of properties
that are zoned Industrial, Heavy while relying on lot coverage and building standards
to provide adequate separation from adjoining properties and uses. Development
standards will be imposed relative to fire protection for buildings taller than 75'.
3. Wording has been added to Section 17.34.050 PAMC to ensure that a separation
between uses will exist in the event that Industrial, Heavy properties are found
adjacent to residential or commercial zones.
4. As proposed, the amendment is in the public use and interest.
Commissioner Philpott seconded the motion which passed 4-0.

Development of the site shall be in accordance with the geotechnical report submitted by the
applicant and prepared by Zenovic and Associates dated April 15, 2002. Activities, such as
constructing a building, which have not been previously analyzed by Zenovic and Associates
will be substantiated by further engineering/geotechnical review prior to any such activity.
Findings:
Based on staff's report and the Board of Adjustment's discussion and deliberation at the public
hearing conducted on January 6, 2003, the Board of Adjustment hereby finds that:
1. The applicant is requesting a variance of the minimum 25-foot rear yard and 7-foot western
side yard setback in the RS-7, Residential Single Family zone to 10' feet and 5 feet
respectively to allow the construction of a single family residence on a property that contains
an environmentally sensitive area.
2. The property is located at 1630 West Fourth Street and is legally described as being Lot 7,
Block 129, Townsite of Port Angeles. An approved street vacation when completed will
make the site 50' x 140' in shape being 7,000 square feet in area. A restrictive development
feature of the site is the east/west ravine located in the east portion of the'subject property
which extends east from the location.
3. A portion of roadway (Highland Drive) that bisects the property north/south has been
approved for vacation by the City Council. The property was condemned for roadway
purposes in 1917. The northwest portion of Highland Drive extends onto the north portion
of the site from West Fourth Street approximately 80 feet. The area is paved and, following
purchase by the property owner, will become the north driveway to the site. The 4/5 alley
serves as a rear (south) access.
4. Existing site development includes a detached accessory structure and deck that have been
associated with residential development of Lot 8 in this location.
5. Land uses surrounding the site are zoned and developed as residential single family uses.
Property north of the site between the location and the Port Angeles Harbor are industrial in
development and zone. Properties located east, west, and south of the site are developed in
residential uses.
6. The site is located in the City's Northwest Planning Area. The property is located in the
imprecise margin between the Open Space (OS) and Low Density Residential on the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map (LDR). Residential Goals and Policies Goal B,
Policies 1, 2, and 4, and Open Space Goal I and Policy 2 are most relevant to the proposal.

7. The purpose of the Zoning Code is to implement the goals, policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan by dividing the City into zones and to promote the corresponding
development of such areas. The subject property is designated RS-7, Residential Single
Family. Residential development is permitted in the RS-7 zone.
8. The eastem portion of the property has been identified as a landslide hazard area
(environmentally sensitive area) and has been analyzed for development potential by Zenovic
and Associates in a report dated April 15, 2002. The report indicated that approximately
40% of the site is buildable and identified area in the south and west portions of the site that
are suitable for development which generated the applicant's request for a reduction of the
standard RS-7 development standard setbacks.
9. The majority of properties in this area of the City, and in the RS-7 zone, are similar in size
and shape to the subject property with many located along the same ravine. Setback
variances have been approved for other residential development activities which share the
subject ravine located east of the site fronting on the 4/5 alley and west along West Fourth
Street.
10. The property was posted and public notices mailed to surrounding property owners on
December 11, 2002. Public notice appeared in the Peninsula Daily News on
December 13, 2002. Two letters (from Don Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. Gordy Sexton) were
received fi.om neighbors who objected to the variance request. The objections stated concern
with alley congestion and the environmentally sensitive nature of the site.
11. During review of the construction of a residence for Mr. and Mrs. Sexton in 1992, which is
located along the same ravine directly south and east of the subject site, it was noted that the
ravine area had been altered (filled to create a new top of bank) prior to construction of the
Sexton home. That review indicated that the subject property had likewise been previously
altered prior to 1992 and contains a garage. The current engineering study prepared for the
subject property is more detailed than that prepared for the Sexton residence as such a report
is now required to be prepared by a professional engineer where previously the City's
Engineer performed a simpler review. A buildable area has been identified on the subject
site by the current study.
12. In order to grant a variance fi.om the standards of the Zoning Code, the Board of Adjustment
must come to specific conclusions in accordance with Section 2.52.040 of the Port Angeles
Municipal Code.
13. Variance applications are categorically exempt from the State of Washington Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) requirements per Sections 197-11-800(6)(b) and 197-11-908 of the
Washington Administrative Code, and Chapter 15.04 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code,
121

14. Further review of building plans will require the submittal of an environmental checklist and
an environmentally sensitive areas application at the time of
development for compliance with Section 15.20 (Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Ordinance) of the City's Municipal Code.
Conclusions:
Based on staff's report, the Board of Adjustment's discussion and deliberation, and the above listed
findings, the Board of Adjustment hereby concludes that:
A. Approval of the proposed variance would not result in a grant of special privilege as other
buildings are located within setback areas and other setback variances have been approved
in the same area along the subject ravine and nearby marine bluff for development of similar
properties in the RS-7 zone. Reduced setbacks will be consistent with other residential
development in the area.
B. Topographic constraints exist on the site that restrict development of the property to a level
of other properties in the area and will not allow unreasonable development of the property
if developed within the recommendations of the submitted geotechnical report. Approval of
the variance would be due to circumstances related to the geologic hazard.
C. Subsequent development of the site will require compliance with fire and building code
requirements and therefore would not be detrimental to the public safety or welfare.
D. As conditioned, the proposal is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically
Residential Goals and Policies Goal B, and Policies 1, 2, and 4, and Open Space Goals and
Policies Goal I, Policies 1, 2, 3, and 4, and with the City's Zoning and Environmentally
Sensitive Areas Ordinance.
E. The variance is in the public interest and allows the reasonable development of a residential
property within the City.
F.
The motion was seconded by Board Member Harris and passed 4 - 0.
