WRIA 18 Watershed Plan Recommendations
Summary: The draft Watershed Plan for western Water Resources Inventory Area No. 18[
(Elwha-Dungeness River Basins) has been revised to include some of the changes requested by the[
City of Port Angeles. A final revision meeting is scheduled for June 20', and Deputy Mayor Orville[
Campbell and DCD Director Brad Collins will have another opportunity to propose any fmalI
changes that thc City would like to see In the Watershed Plan. Some of the language that the City
wants to have changed or vetoed is still in the draft plan, and wc should have approximately a month
to submit vetoes after the final draft plan is available.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council endorse the comments in
Attachment A that would have the effect of changing and/or vetoing some of WRIA 18 Watershed
Plan Recommendations.
Background / Analysis:
The City's EMMT representatives (Orv and Brad) previously identified vetoing certain
recommendations tmtil language has been f'malized to which the City can agree. Following the
previous list of policy issues, the Attachment describes changes that were or were not made and what
policy statements are still recommended for veto. A complete copy of thc Watershed Plan is several
volumes, which the City Council may find in the Department of Commtmity Development office.
The future impacts of the Watershed Plan on local jurisdictions and their various plans and
regulations, although uncertain, may be summarized as follows:
Water Quantity - regionalize the City of Port Angeles water supply for western WRIA 18
Water Quality - commit local jurisdictions to stormwater management practices
Fish Habitat- prioritize habitat restoration for fish with land use and water supply for people
Instream Flow- base on the biological needs offish
Once the draft W20,1A 18 Watershed Plan is completed, removing any vetoed statements and
recommendations, the draft plan will go before the Clallam County Commissioners for public
hearing and adoption in late summer or early fall 2003. The County Commissioners cannot change
the recommendations but could send the plan back to the Planning Unit for further work.

Engineers and numerous state and local agencies and groups, is in the early stages
of an assessment expected to extend to 2005, followed by concentrated action on
priorization and design of restoration and preservation activities through 2008. It
is then expected that the priority restoration and preservation actions would begin
in 2008. In the interim, early action restoration andpreservation work will likely be
done as well. Still under review.
Note: All of these sections are recommended for veto, unless specific deletions and additions are
made. Where there are no deletions and additions, the entire section should be vetoed until a revised
section is brought back to the City Council for reconsideration.

Attachment C
Additional Changes and Vetoes Proposed by Council Member Campbell, based on concerns about
unfunded mandates and member agencies granting away powers of authority:
Water Quantity Recommendation #6- A&,~,; Encourage water conservation recommendations that
will apply to all purveyors of Elwha River water; a~id
during lom flow periods ~l,~n to protect salmon when they are most val..bl~ vulnerable. Rewritten
in a manner that does not usurp the City's authority.
3.6.1 - Watershed Management
A. Watershed Council Makeup: The Watershed Council should be comprised of a cross
C.
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 ... The role of technical
panelists would include the following:
Geographic Area: The boundaries for the West WRI~ 18 Watershed Council should
extend from the western boundary of East WRJA 18 (the ' ...... L ~
Siebert Creek western watershed boundary) to the eastern boundary of WRIA 19 (the
Elwha River western watershed boundary).
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 adequate
future water supplies, instream flows, stormwater management, water quality,
habitat conditions for salmonids and other wildlife species, and land use praclices
along the West WR1A 18 rivers, streams, and other drainages. All salmonid
enhancement work and habitat review of major projects should be coordinated with
the North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity Group.
Outreach: Public outreach and education should be considered a vital component
of the watershed management effort. The Watershed Council should work with the
agencies providing permits for river work to develop a user-friendly system which
should allow for habitat improvement projects.

ATTACHMENT D
3.1.5 Public Water Supply
Issue: As compared to small community systems or the proliferation of exempt
wells, public water systems can provide reliable, cost-effective service with
relatively less environmental impact and greater opportunities for water
resources management to meet watershed planning goals.
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 and near areas served by existing Group A public water systems,
as well as in rural areas not served by public water systems, where exempt wells
are expected to be drilled to meet needs.
Coordinated Water System Planning: Where a critical water supply problem
exists, public water supply may be coordinated under Chapter 246-293 WAC
(Water System Coordination Act; see Watershed Plan Chapter 1 for more detail
on the Act). Although the County has indicated that it does not wish to pursue
CWSP, the County and WRIA 18 Group A water systems may choose to
implement parts of the Act. For example, an option may be to incorporate into
County regulation the parts of the CWSP process that could allow the County to
require any person seeking water service to connect to a public water system for
service wherever service is available in a reasonable timeframe. Clallam County
already oversees small (Group B) public water systems. Among the reasons for
considering adopting parts of the Water System Coordination Act 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
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 serve a large region 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.
Large Group A Public Water Systems: The City of Port Angeles November
2001 Water System Comprehensive Plan documents that existing Elwha River
water rights are capable of handling projected growth through the year 2020 and
projects modest growth at a rate of 0.5 percent per year, through 2020. The
population served is projected to grow from nearly 21,000 persons today to a
combined City and East UGA Annexation Area total of 23,194 in 2020
' The City of Sequim November 2000 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 Sequim water p~an
identifies 1,362 connections, and projects growth at a greater rate than does the
City of Port Angeles, at 2.7 percent per year through 2020. The population
served is projected to grow from 4,510 persons in 2001 to a combined City and
UGA total of 7,094 (5,550 ERUs) in 2018. The City has not been approached for
intertie and is not seeking interties.
Clallam County PUD issued its new draft Water System Comprehensive Plan in
March 2003. The Plan covers four Group A public water systems within the
incorporated and unincorporated areas of Clallam County which lie within WRIA
18. The four systems served a total population of 7,118 in the year 2000, but no
projection of population to be served in future years is given. Projected growth is
1.0 percent per year or more, depending on the system. New water rights are
needed for the PUD to serve projected growth in the Carlsborg system. A water
deficiency is projected by 2021; the deficiency exceeds 234,000 gpd based on
source adequacy or exceeds 61,000 gpd based on water rights adequacy.
Existing sources would be inadequate to serve projected maximum day demand
(MDD) by 2013 and existing water rights will be inadequate to serve projected
MDD by 2018. An additional 200 gpm source is required to satisfy projected
MDD through 2021. The Evergreen system is projected to have only a small
reserve capacity to serve by 2021.
Elwha River Regional Water Supply: In 1999, the City of Port Angeles
prepared a Preliminary Evaluation of Elwha Dam Removal Mitigation Alternatives
and Integration with Regional Supply Objectives (CH2M Hill 1999) to develop a
feasibility concept for initial discussion as a basis for agreement with other local
water purveyors (Glenn Cutler letter to EMMT dated June 22, 2000). The City's
stated purpose was to "consider regionalization as one possible solution to
providing for safe and secure water for those users impacted by the removal of
the Elwha dams." The Preliminary Evaluation identified a potential regional
service area and investigated alternatives to develop capacity "to supply all
customers between the Elwha River and Morse Creek." The area includes
Clallam County PUD No. 1, the Black Diamond Water District, the Dry Creek
Water Association, and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (CH2M 1999 p. 13). The
report concluded that the City of Port Angeles serving as bulk water supplier may
represent one of the best opportunities for long-term reliable water supply .to the
region (CH2M 1999 p. 13).
A key question in evaluating this future water supply strategy is the size of the
region that should be considered for bulk water wholesaling. The City has
expressed interest in serving water within the UGA and wholesaling within West
WRIA 1~, but is concerned about serving growth outside the UGA in West WRIA
18 and is not interested in distributing Elwha River water via intertie to the
Clallam PUD to East WRIA 18. The City currently supplies all customers within
City limits, not including the Elwha industrial water system customers (Daishowa)
on a retail basis and most of the PUD customers west of Morse Creek on a
wholesale contract basis through the PUD. Most of the PUD service area west of
Morse Creek lies within the unincorporated Port Angeles Urban Growth Area
(UGA) and ....... some of the Dry Creek Water Association service area is also
within the Port Angeles UGA. Although portions of these service areas and all of
the Black Diamond service area are located outside the Port Angeles UGA, the
City believes that it might ultimately supply them, whether through future
annexation or on a wholesale contract basis. The City has ~

discussions with other West WRIA 18 water ' ' ...... +"'~
additional supply.
The preliminao/Evaluation summarizes the various mitigation alternatives and
finds that each is equally suitable for effective integration into a regional water
supply plan. It also lists connections required for each adjacent water system that
could be supplied from the City's system. However, at the time the City found
that "a regional water system does not appear to have any significant support
from the area's water purveyors" and consequently the City has not pursued the
idea further (Glenn Cutler letter to EMMT dated October 25, 2000).
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· A safe, efficient, and reliable long-term public water supply consistent with
habitat and other goals in this plan.
· Water rights, interties, or water conservation sufficient to allow existing public
water systems to meet future growth within their current and proiected service
areas.
· Coordination among water systems to for efficient service and efficient use of
WRIA 18 water sources.
· Connection of new development 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 buildout potential in the timeframes required.
· New public water service provided by the existing larger Group A public water
systems wherever feasible, with Group B water systems serving those
locations where Group A service is unavailable and the infrastructure,
financial and management capacity exists to meet requirements under WAC
246-291.
Expansion of existing larger Group A systems' service areas where demand
growth occurs outside current public water system service areas, where
feasible and consistent with UGA boundaries and Growth Management Act
planning.

~.m:.~: .... , .............. nit,al evaluabon, the involved jurisdictions should
consider the potential advantages of incorporating parts of the Water System
Coordination Act into County ordinance:
1. Consider adopting the utility review procedure to regulate exempt wells and
direct land development to public water service.
2. Consider encouraging Satellite Management Agencies.
3. Review examples from other counties that regulate down to a single well
(Jefferson County) and prohibit new wells in some areas (Walla Walla and
Skagit counties).
B. New or Amended Water Rights for Public Water Service
1. Recognizing projected buildout and new growth within and beyond current

3.1.7 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
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. The DQ Plan (1994) set
forth these goals, which remain important today:
· Goal l: 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.
Ciallam 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. Section 2.3.3 describes measures undertaken by public water
systems and commercial irrigation in WRIA 18 to conserve water.
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 Response to DQ Plan Recommendations: 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 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.
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 regularly reviews the City's water rate structure. The current rate
structure is an inclined block rate (higher rates apply after ~,OO 900cf 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 has an ongoing conservation education
program.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Cost-effective water conservation of scarce WRIA 18 water soumes allows
water to remain instream for environmental values, and creates a sustainabl&
water suPply.
· Full and ongoing implementation of Water Users Association Comprehensive
Water Conservation Plan for the East WRIA 18 irrigation system and of the
water conservation portions of Group A public water system Water Si/stem
Comprehensive Plans that have been written for the cities of Port Angeles
and Sequim and the Clallam PUD.
· Expanded residential water conservation the smaller Group A water systems,
Group B systems, and individuals acting voluntarily to conserve water used
for indoor and outdoor purposes in the home.
· Drought response planning in place incorporated a staqe approach with
appropriate trig.qers based on snowpack and stream flow conditions for the
larger Group A public water systems.
· Late season Iow-flow demands on stream flows largely reduced or eliminated.
Recommendations
A. Water conservation edu/bation and outreach:--
1. Distribute a water use surv?cy to local residents to assess current uses (and
perceptions) of water. ~{ll{{~Bl~it~developed and used by the City of
Tacoma. (Note: The Tacoma survey found that high water users were often very
conservation oriented, but lacked the knowled.qe of effective water conservation
practices).
2. Encourage the development of water conservation education programs in the
Port Angeles School district. The benefits of environmental education in children
and young adults are welt documented. Aside from establishing .qood
stewardship practices at an early a.qe, there is also a tendency of influencing
adults with whom these children interact.
3. Establish an effective public relations program. This is typically considered to
be the most difficult element of a water conservation program to maintain, but
one of the most important.
4. Encourage local water purveyors to attend regional and national water
conservation conferences (i.e. AWVVA) to be famitiar with new information and
technologies.
5. Target exempt well owners for education on water conservation.
R4.2.4 Establish principles for all users throughout the area, includin.q:~
a. Strate.qies 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.
R4.2.10 Establish a water resource conservation educat on program including
"life style" chan.qes.2
B. Regional water conservation planning and standards:
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.4
R4.2.2 Develop a system to prioritize water uses for times of critical need.5
1. Clallam County and all WRIA 18 purveyors, including cities, the PUD,
and small water systemS, should develop conservation plans
mp ementin.q best available designs and technology, using current
practices and meeting the goals and standards set forth in water-shed
,-~,-,-~,,,-. .................... th~s section.
2. 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.
3. 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)
R4.2.5 Public entities should pursue and provide demonstration or model
projects to encourage conservation and reuse. Government grants and programs

C. Water Shortage Res,oonse Planning:
:'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
voluntary use under all other conditions including cost/benefit aspects.8
d. A regional water modeling and monitoring system developed to avoid a water
crisis in a low 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 wated drought to alert the
region before a water crisis occurs.9
1. Modify the City of Port Angetes Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP).
a. Include "fish triggers" and incentives/disincentives for water shortage
stages proposed by the Water Conservation Work Group and the Lower
Elwha Klallam Tribe.
b. Re-evaluate the water conservation goals indicated in the plan (i.e.
Stages 3 and 4 have the same goal of 4.5 million gallons/da,/).
c. Develop appropriate enforcement provisions..
d. Final chanqes should be submitted to the Port Angeles City Council
and/or Utility Advisory Committee for adoption by Ordinance.
2. Other local purveyors of Elwha River water should be encouraged to adopt
the City's WSRP and develop water conservation procedures that will be
implemented for each of the water shortage stages.
:3. 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 interlocal 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 any future sucCaee-water permits. Include an component on
seasonal Iow flow water conservation in the regional watershed plan

3.3.1 ~Area-Wide Habitat Restoration, Salmon Recovery and Fish
Management
Issue: '-' '_11 ........... r .......... ~ _ -- ' - ~ I
· ri ' Watershed management plans should incorporate, facilitate and
-support habitat restoration and salmon recovery underway through other State
processes (see Chapter 1). This watershed plan explicitly aims to fulfill elements of a
salmon recovery plan as envisioned under the Shared Strategy for Puget Sound
("shared strateqy").
Existing Condition and Current Actions
In WRIA 18, habitat losses, Endangered Species Act (ESA) listings, and th(~ decline of
other stocks (e.g., Dungeness River pinks) underscore the need for this watershed
planning to address habitat restoration and salmon recovery on a regional basis.
Endangered Species Act Listings and Other Stock Declines: ESA listings (Puget
Sound Chinook salmon, Hood Canal summer chum, and bull trout) dr~e-are motivatin.q
a wide range of responses, including a full crrcymuLtitude of fisheries management
actions, the evaluation and potential setting of target stream flows, attention to
improving freshwater quality, and ma~numerous restoration projects being
undertaken throughout WRIA 18.
The Salmon and Steelhead Stock Inventory (SASSI, 1992) provides important basic
stock status information on all anadromous stocks, not iust those listed under ESA.
SASSI, and more recent stock analyses, describe these other stocks (of chum, coho,
pink, and steelhead) as .qenerally depressed or critical, with few exceptions (see
Table ). In response to the decline of virtually all anadromous stocks in the WRIA
18 study area, extensive planning, management, and restoration efforts have been
conducted for many years.
Regienal-Salmon Restoration Plans and Strategies: Currently, r~North
Olympic Peninsula habitat restoration, salmon recovery, and fish management goals,
objectives, and actions are guided by several comprehensive documents and ptanning
processes. These are described in detail in Chapter 1. Prominent plans and processes
include: (1) the Shared Strategy for Recovery of Salmon in Puget Sound; (2) the WRIA
18 Limiting Factors Analysis (Haring, 1999), (3) the North Olympic Peninsula Lead
Entity Group (NOPLEG) Salmon Habitat Recovery Strategy (2001); ~,-.d (4) the
Recommended Restoration Projects for the Dungeness River (Dungeness River
Restoration Work Group 1997), sometimes called the "Blue Book" and (5) the Elwha

restoration of Valley and JimmyComeLately creeks.
All of these habitat efforts have translated into significant improvements to WRIA 18
habitat in numerous individual watersheds. Prime examples of these successful
improvements can be found on Valley, Morse, Siebert, and JimmyComeLately creeks,
and throughout the Lower Dungeness River. Sponsored by local governments, tribes,

(RFEG) (North Olympic Salmon Coalition, NOSC), state and federal.agencies, =r.d

· ' ' included purchase of land from willing sellers, conservation
easements, channel realignment, LWD placement, spawning gravel replenishment,
riparian vegetation control and enhancement, flow restoration, fencing and other access
control, blockage removal, and passage enhancements.
Harvest: Though not directly within the scope of this watershed management plan, it is
important to recognize the impact that harvest issues will have on the overall objective
of fish restoration. As elsewhere in Washington, harvest in open salt waters in WRIA 18
is co-managed ~by the tribes, the WDFW, and the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). This co-management addresses matters such as allocations,
management of "terminal" vs. "mixed-stock" harvest strategies, regulation of seasons
and gear, and similar aspects of harvest. In freshwater (within WRIA 18 watersheds),
harvest is co-managed between the tribes and the Washington Dept. of Fish & Wildlife
(WDFW). Management oversight is applied to allocations, seasons, gear, and other
components of harvest. At the local level, DRMT has sometimes gotten involved in
makin.q recommendations for harvest re.qulations for Dun.qeness stocks.
Hatcheries: L ke harvest mana.qement, the complexities and challenges of hatchery
management are closely linked to the outcomes of habitat restoration_. (agaiP,~s-area

Hatcheries'are present on the Dungeness and Elwha rivers. There are two hatcheries
on the Dungeness, one at Hurd Creek, a small, east-bank tributary originating at RM 2.7
of the lower Dungeness, and the other at RM 10.5 on the mainstem of the river. These
hatcheries currently support c=,u~-=r~broodstock programs for Dungeness Chinook and
lower Dungeness pinks. The operation of these two hatcheries locally, which is currently
under comprehensive review, is primarily a WDFW responsibility, with close
involvement of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe. On the Elwha River, WDFVV operates a
hatchery at RM 3 and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe operates its own hatchery at RM 1
on their reservation. These two hatcheries are fully incorporated into the larger EIwha
River dam removal and river restoration project, and are managed consistent with the
multi-agency fisheries restoration plan that is a principal part of the overall restoration.
It is also possible that Morse Creek will be given a role in supporting that overall
restoration effort.
Hydro: Hydropower facilities will soon represent a minor consideration in WRIA 18.
With the impending removal of the two major dams on the Elwha River, the only
remaining hydropower facility in WRIA 18 will be the City of port Angeles facility on
upper Morse Creek (RM 7.2), owned by the City of Port Angeles (see Morse Creek
Section 2.4 for further detail).
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
Recovery of WRIA 18 stocks to levels that can support healthy, sustainable
fisheries.
· Recovery of WRIA 18 salmonids listed under the ESA to population levels sufficient
to warrant delisting and subsequent recreational and commercial harvest.

Fish Management
Rll To maintain, protect, restore, and enhance native and wild fish stocks including listed (ESA), critical,
high potential of becoming critical, depressed and healthy stocks of salmonids in the river:
R11.1 Protect and in some cases restore salmonid habitat to provide properly functioning conditions.
R1 '1.2 The DRMT, in association with the DRRWG should be involved in implementation of the following
approach to the management of native and wild, and hatchery fish habitat and management:
R11.2.1 Manage harvest levels: determine impacts of terminal vs. mixed-stock fishing, and analyze
"high-tech" fishing techniques on native stocks; regulate annual and in-season catches to provide
protection, restoration and enhancement of critical and depressed stocks
R11.2.2 Analyze hatchery impacts: analyze impacts and cumulative effects of hatchery Operations on
native and wild fish stocks, and manage fish to protect and provide for wild salmonids and other fish
species.
R11.2.2(a) Fish management actions should reflect the need to protect and rebuild stocks while instream
flow and habitat improvement projects ara implemented. International, Federal, State and Tribal fish
managers should work with the DRMT to analyze present hatchery and harvest management practices.
R11.2.2(b) initiate the use of, and continue if warranted, artificial propagation for stocks in jeopardy of
extinction as recommended by fisheries biologists.

pr-evide~benefits to fish provided by the optimal 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;, end maintenance of the river channel itself, including bed and
bank stability; and flushinq flows.
-- --'-inlmum instream flow regulation establishes a "water
right for the river" which is junior to all ' '
ex~st~ng ~ ....... ~ water rights but is senior to all
new appropriations. This has the effect of conditioning new water rights in order to leave
the minimum regulatory instream flow e6~aM~sC~l~,~level in the river
.......... , ........... at all times.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
Formal instream flows have not been set for any WRIA 18 streams {although many are
either closed to further withdrawals or are operating under the provisional limitations

Chapter 3.3 Habitat and Instream Flow Recommendations Page 3-56
placed on surface water sources pursuant to Ch. 75.20 RCW. However, extensive work
has been done on the Dungeness watershed, beginning with the 1990 Dun.qeness IFIM
study (Hiss & Lichatowich) and continuing with instream flow recommendations
subsequently included in the DQ Plan (1994~,). ~he-Additional pro.qress has been made
through the Trust Water Agreement (1998), the CIDMP currently under way, other
DRMT activities, and continuing cn 3n ongoing bcs!c work under the guidance of the
DRMT to ~iddress the "gap" identified in the DQ Plan between Dungeness River
instream flow requirements and out-of-stream consumption (Dungeness
recommendations are contained in Section 3.11 below). Outside the Dungeness
watershed, ccmp=r~tlvcl:,' !ittlcless work has been done to identify or address potentially
inadequate flows (or excessive withdrawals). However, the toe-width analysis required
to develop the preliminary instream flow recommendations presented below has
¢e~w,A-ly-been completed on re:ny most WRIA 18 small streams.
Some streams in WRIA 18 have surface water rights exceeding natural flows in some
Iow flow seasons, and many streams m:y probably have summer Iow flows impacted by
withdrawals from wells in hydraulic continuity with surface water (see Section 3.1.1 for
further discussion). These existin,q iow stream floWs and the potential for exacerbation
of Iow flows through development and further withdrawals reinforce the importance of
determining and setting ~nstream flows .................

Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Recommend m!r, lmum regulatory instream flows for all s!g,qific~nt WRIA 18 streams.
· Recommend seasonal closure for WRIA 18 streams that are flow-limited during the
Iow-flow season.
· Protection of senior water rights.
· Conduct long-term monitoring of instream flows, particularly during Iow-flow seasons
and enforcement of minimum instream flows and seasonal closures.
· Adequate instream flows to maintain stream health and to enable sustainable,
healthy salmon production where that has been identified as a priority.

closed to new diversions year-round.
3. Table 3.3-2 presents flow recommendations based on toe-width analysis.
EMMT has developed further guidance on the determination of flow
recommendations through the development of a three-tier cateqorization
of the West WRIA 18 streams. This additional guidance is presented in
Table 3.3-3.
Water budqets: Develop more accurate small stream water budgets,
encompassing water rights, actual use, hydrograph, groundwater interaction.
Exceptions to the Min!mum Instream Flow Rule: Exceptions should be
considered in granting water rights only where:
1. The source is grOundwater in hydraulic continuity withdrawn from the.
second aquifer (or lower),
2. Use is for in-house domestic purposes, and
3. Connection is made to a public water system wherever available
Land Use and Flows: Link land use manaqement with protection of b'ase flows
and instream flows, limiting .(over time) cleamuttin.q within watersheds1 and
treating stormwater on-site wherever possible to recharge groundwater supplies.
Flow Fluctuations: Stormwater, irrigation water, and habitat management
should minimize unnatural flow fluctuations in small streams (both peak and Iow
flows). Where necessary, reregulating reservoirs should be cc.-.cldcr~d
established to minimize tailwater discharge and to reduce diversions from the
Dun.qeness River.

Revised recommendation for "exceptions" to allow water withdrawals from
exempt wells or new groundwater rights in hydraulic continuity with streams
closed to new appropriations or operating under a minimum instream flow rule:
Exceptions should be considered in granting new groundwater rights or allowing new
exempt wells in hydraulic continuity with streams closed to new appropriations or
operating under a minimum instream flow rule only where the following steps have been
taken in the sequence listed:
· .'. Public water service must be unavailable or infeasible. If the place of use is within
the service area of a public water system, that public water system must have been
contacted and requested to provide service. If not within the service area of a public
water system, the nearest public water system must have been contacted and
requested to provide service.
· :. A Group B public water system must be formed if possible. Exempt wells may be
allowed only if a Group B system cannot be formed.
<. Before drilling a new individual exempt well, neighbors with an existing well that has'
sufficient capacity to serve the additional residential use should be contacted and
inquiry made as to willingness to allow shared use of the well.
· :. Water use should be allowed under this exception only for inhouse domestic
purposes. If water is found to be used for other purposes, future water use should be
conditioned on metering and reporting monthly water use.

DQ Recommendations
Wetland & Riparian Habitats, Rivers & Small Streams
R 8 In all management actions, strive to retain (maintain) or restore structural and functional
characteristics of river, riparian and wetland habitats which are important to native and wild fish and
wildlife.
R 8.1 Identify rivers, riparian corridors and wetlands according to their importance as habitat, and for
wildlife and fish values, hydrologic recharge and storage (flood control) and aesthetic and recreational
values.
R 8.3 Protect and maintain or enhance, and in some cases restore, those areas with high values and
functions as development occurs to provide the structural and functional integrity of river, riparian and
wetland habitat, water quality and quantity, and flood control functions, as part of long term habitat
management of the region. River, riparian and wetland habitats presently in good condition should
receive the highest priority for protection.
Wetlands, the Dungeness River and Small Streams
C.10.2A.5 Streams should not be used for irrigation ditch conveyance, except where no alternatives exist;
no new conveyance agreements should be started. 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 effort by the Water Users and the DRMT shourd be made to pursue funding for
implementation of rerouting waters.
C. 10.4.1 The rehabilitation of small streams should be pursued even without supplementing flows
because:
Productivity may still be maintained with Iow water levels;
Rehabilitated reaches of streams may act as "shock absorbers" to protect downstream areas, e.g. by
storing sediment, providing flood hazard reduction, and protecting downstream areas from runoff.
3.3.4 Urb'-,-,!Small Urban Streams
Issue: Urban streams are often overlooked1 even though they have potential and
importance, for education and outreach and as habitat, for anadromous fish and other
wildlife.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
Urban streams have generally been far more significantly altered from their natural
condition than rural streams. The types of alterations and impacts are also far different,
and impediments to meaningful restoration are usually much greater than for rural
streams. Even so, urban streams have varying degrees of restoration potential. They
can contribute to overall improvement of the regional habitat conditions for fish and
wildlife. They also are more visible and accessible to the public and therefore can offer
significant educational opportunities.
In other ways, urban streams share many of the same challenges with the rural streams
of WRIA 18. The habitat values associated with the urban streams in WRIA 18 (Dry,
ENTRIX, Inc. DRAFT WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3.3 Habitat and instream Flow Recommendations Page 3-56
Tumwater, Valley, Peabody, White, Ennis, Lees, and Morse in the Port Angeles area,
and Bell creeks in the Sequim area) have received increasing attention in planning
efforts and land use management. Local urban watershed groups have formed for
Tumwater, Valley, and Ennis creeks. Urban streams have been included in programs to
identify and prioritize habitat-related projects to protect and restore habitat (see
discussion above).
Notable efforts targeting urban streams include habitat restoration on Dry, Valley, Ennis,
Morse, and Bell creeks. In urban areas, these habitat-oriented actions are often more
difficult and costly to achieve. They usually cannot demonstrate as strong a "cost-
benefit ratio" as actions on rural streams do. These constraints are reflected in the
existing frameworks guiding restoration efforts, such as the NOPLEG strategy which
currently characterizes most urban streams as Tier 4 (Valley and Ennis are rated as
Tier 3). However, in spite of these limitations, important improvements have been
accomplished and there is substantial interest in building on those successes.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Urban streams included as part of the overall effort to comprehensively address
habitat needs.
· A comprehensive program of habitat needs identification, restoration actions,
protection and management that addresses all urban streams along with the rural
streams.
· Restored and protected urban stream that provide salmon restoration benefits,
public education value, and/or achieve other community watershed-re ated goals.

· 5. 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.
~.6. Improve the most degraded streams by first analyzing the acute causes of
degradation, recognizing that the potential for full biological restoration is of more
limited and of lower priority. Emphasize that the first, and often the most
important, step is to cease further degradation by fully addressinq stormwater
run-off, sedimentation, unauthorized dumping, etc.
~..7. Search for upstream restoration opportunities that may benefit downstream
areas.
~8. In the most highly developed areas, emphasize community outreach and
education.
~9. Pursue a long-term goal of restoring the full range of natural hydrologic function
to the extent feasible, recognizing that the hydrologic consequences of
urbanization may not be easily reversed.
~10. 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.
10.11. Develop approaches to address the consequences of human actions on
streams such as those arising from homeowner lawn management and property
improvements.
DQ Recommendations
3.3.5 Wetlands
Issue: Wetlands are a vital component of healthy watersheds, providing a wide array of
important habitat and other benefits to the natural and human environment. Examples
include water purification, stormwater storage, wildlife habitat and migration corridors,
and aesthetic quality. The Olympic Peninsula has great wetland diversity and the rain
shadow of the Olympic range creates unique communities in WRIA 18.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
A substantial portion of WRIA 18's historic wetlands has been lost through diking,
draining, fill, and development. Much of this loss may be irretrievable. Wetland
protections are afforded at the federal level through USFS forest practices, ACOE
Section 404 wetland permits, and, at the State level, by Department of Ecology wetland
water quality certification and by provisions of the Shorelines Manaqement Act, the
Forest Practices Act, and the Hydraulic Permit Application process. Local governments
have established regulatory and land use management frameworks to guide human use
of wetlands (e.g., Critical Areas or Environmentally Sensitive ordinances; see Chapter
1) and WRIA 18 wetlands have received some attention in planning efforts and land use

I~sue: Conversion of existing private forest and agricultural land for development can
affect impervious surface and stormwater runoff, aquifer recharge and nstream flows,
surface and ground water quality, and habitat quantity and quality.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
WRIA 18 is experiencing a long-term trend in land conversion from agncultural and
forest use to rural residential and urbanizing centers, particularly in East WRIA 18.
Growth management planning by both the City'sCities and the County is intended to
direct growth towards areas around existing municipalities that have capital
infrastructure and provisions for urban services. Locally~ plans (consistent with
state GMA policies) wemhave been adopted to help direct development to areas where
services are already provided. However, previously subdivided parcels can develop

City and County comprehensive planning documents were developed~
between 1991 and 49cJ,~-these1995. These planning documents are scheduled for
review and update by the end of 2004. The following land use plans and development
regulations bear on land conversions (see Section 1.3.4):

Clallam County: Clallam County should include a review of the Watershed Plan
recommendations in its revision to its Comprehensive Plan and Reqional Plans,
Zoning Ordinance, and other plans and codes, and should make these consistent
to greatest extent practicable.
City of Sequim: The City of Sequim should include a review of the Watershed
Plan recommendations in its revisions to its Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, and other plans and codes, and should make these consistent to the
extent practicable1
City of Port Angeles: The City of Port Angeles should include a review of the
Watershed Plan recommendations in its revisions to the Comprehensive Plan,
Zoninq Ordinance and other plans and codes, and should make consistent to the
extent practicable.
The City of Port Angeles, City of Sequim and Clallam County should incorporate
Low Impact Development (LID) techniques into development requirements where
possible..
In instances where the Watershed Plan suggests more restrictive land use
controls (i.e. areas of high risk for hydraulic continuity), the ,qeographic area
should be defined in Comprehensive Plans, and maximum recommended
ENTF
densities proposed.
BOX 1: DQ PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING IRRIGATED
LAND CONVERSION
These DQ Recommendations were originally developed to address Irrigation
Water Management. They are included here because of their current
relevance to conversion of agricultural and forest land to urban uses.
C.4 Converted irrigated lands should be carefully planned to improve the
availability of water for instream flow and avoid negative impacts on the river
ecosystem. The viability of agricultural lands is critical to the well-being of
the community. If future conversion occurs on some irrigated lands, the new
uses should be carefully planned to improve the availability of water for
Chapter 3,4 Land Use and Land Management Recommendations Page 3~84
3.4.2 Development in Sensitive Areas
Issue: Land development in river corridors can adversely alter riparian vegetation
buffers (vital to properly functioning stream conditions), remove sources of large woody
debris and stream shading, lead to streambank erosion and result in the placement of
bank hardeninq. New development also can lead to drilling multiple exempt wells in
hydraulic continuity with rivers and may adversely affect critical aquifer recharqe zones.
These changes may cumulatively affect instream flows, stream geomorphology and
functioning, and habitat for salmonids and other aquatic and riparian species.
Development in floodplains can jeopardize human safety, including on neighboring
parcels.
Existin.q Condition and Current Actions
Habitat and stream physical conditions are discussed in Chapter 2, and
recommendations related to these areas are presented in Sectio~ 3 3; Exempt well
re,qulation is discussed in Section 2;113 and related recommendations are discussed in
Sect on 3~4~ In the Dungeness watershed, a program for riparian land protection and
purchase from willinq landowners has been initiated by the Dungeness River
Restoration Work Group. Properties have been identified for purchase from willing
sellers in the River's End area near the mouth of the Dunqeness River, an area subiect
to frequent flooding. The land protection and purchase program would allow landowners
to be compensated for their land, and/or encoura,qe landowners to donate conservation
easements so that permanent protection and restoration work may occur. Funding
sources have been identified for purchases in the river corridor (e.g., SRF Board, lAC).
Clallam County adopted a Critical Areas Ordinance (CCC Title 27.12) in 2000. The City
of Port Angeles adopted an Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection (Chapter 15.20)

in 2000. The City of Sequim established Environmentally Sensitive Areas Protection
within City Municipal Code (Title 18.80 of the Zoning Code) in 1997.
A Dungeness River Flood Control Management Plan was written in 1990 and is
currently being updated. Many of the non-structural and flood control methodoloqies
and Initial Structural Modification Sites still apply to the Dungeness River and will be
carried forward in the amended plan, which is intended to integrate habitat restoration
Plans and current actions.
The EIwha River may experience increased flood hazard once the Glines and Elwha
dams are removed.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Local iurisdiction's land use plans and codes manage development such that lands
along stream and river corridors are protected to the maximum extent feasible
· The amended Dungeness Flood Hazard Management Plan is endorsed and upheld.
· Actions taken to protect riparian lands benefit salmon recovery and other natural
values.
· Cooperation with willing sellers and jurisdictions removes houses and physical
infrastructure from the floodplain where practicable and cost-effective; existing
riparian land is protected from further encroachment.
· Environmentally sensitive areas are protected from development that would degrade
natural resources or expose human life or property to unacceptable risk.
Recommendations
Land use plans: County and cities should critically review their plans and
development re.qulations as they relate to development in floodplains, with the
obiective of revisinq them as necessary to insure long-term protection of habitat
and flood hazard reduction.
Permanent protection: The City of Port Angeles, City of Sequim and Clallam
County should .partner with non-profit conservation organizations such as thc.
North Olympic Land Trust, to purchase conservation easements along stream
and river corridors.
Incorporate Watershed Plan Recommendations: The obiectives, policies and
recommendations of the Watershed Plan should be incorporated into the Clallam
County, City of Port Anqeles and City of Sequim sensitive area ordinances and
policies, land use codes and other plans as they are periodically updated.
Flood Hazard Manaqement Plan: The amended Dunqeness River Flood Hazard
Manaqement Plan should be incorporated as an onqoing element of the WRIA
18 Watershed Plan (see Section 3.3.8 for flood hazard manaqement
recommendations). ~

Mining: Local iurisdictions should enact land use controls limitinq density of
development in areas of hiqh risk for hydraulic continuity or groundwater mininq,
or require the use of alternative water sources subiect to other provisions
contained in this plan2.
3.4.3 Idteraction Between Septic and Wellhead Zones of Control '
Issue: Zones of control are required around septic systems and wellheads. Problems
arise when exempt wells are drilled near existinq on-site septic systems on neighboring
properties, or near property lines where zones of control encroach on neighboring
properties. Similarly, the installation of a septic system establishes a de-facto restriction
on well drilling that may encroach on neighboring properties. These actions may
constrain the ability of neiqhbors to use or develop their land. This problem cannot be
alleviated by the strategy of drilling to deeper aquifers for groundwater supply.
Existinq 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 Ecoloqy requires a 100-foot
setback from sources of contamination for sinqle private wells (not more than one
connection). Ecology has the authority to regulate the location of wells relative to
potential sources of contamination, but is not empowered tO regulate the location of
wells relative to property boundaries for the purpose of land use management. Health
regulates the sanitary control zones of public water systems, with the exception of those
regulated under the County's Joint Plan of Operations. Clallam County reviews and
approves building permits, and enforces the 100-foot set back for septic systems from
wells.
Typically wells are drilled before the County receives a buildinq permit application. The
County states that it does not have the capability to require where wells may be sited
and would need a deleqation of authority from the State to do so. The Washinqton
Departments of Health and Ecology both state that no deleqation authority is needed to
empower Clallam County to regulate the siting of wells. Ecoloqy has statutory authority
to regulate well drilling (e.g., RCW 18.104; WAC 246-290, WAC 173-160), parts of
which cannot be deleqated to counties. However, the a.qencies state that this does not
preclude counties from regulating the siting of wells under their own powers. Both
a,qencies state that they work with a number of counties that have enacted ordinances
to that purpose and have developed memoranda of a.qreements with well drillers to
notify them for clearance before they drill.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
Clallam County exercises oversiqht 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 nei.qhborin.q parcels, and at depth to direct well

drilling to deeper aquifers where hydraulic continuity is an issue. (See Section 3. 1.4
(C) for exempt weft regulation recommendations.)
Recommendations
New land division:
1. Clallam County, the Washington departments of Health and Ecology, and Office,
of Community Development should meet to determine their respective roles and
authorities with the obiective of delegating or acting as need to provide all needed
authorities to allow the siting of septics and wells to be combined under County
review and approval durinq the building permit approval process.
a. To the extent allowed under statute, needed authorities should be delegated
to the Clallam County to regulate wells.
b. Clallam County should enact ordinances to the extent needed to implement
delegated authority.
c. Clallam County should enact ordinances to the extent needed to exercise any
current County powers to regulate the sitinq of wells and assure that zones of
control for wells and septic systems do not encroach upon neiqhborin,q
properties. This should address separation of wells from property lines and
from septic systems and other sources of contamination.
2. In consultation with the well drilling industry, Clallam County should enact an
ordinance requiring well drillers to obtain County approval before any well
construction activity is undertaken.
A proactive public information and education program should be launched to
explain to the public the need for these regulations and their substance.
a. The key message should be: "permit first, drill second."
b. Tarqet audiences include property owners, commercial developments,
realtors, title companies, septic designers and well drillers.
The County should work to identify problem areas usinq GIS and maps. (Problem
areas are identified as lots too small for adequate setbacks for both well and
septic system.)
Well database: Clallam County should enter well data into a three-dimensional
database, integratin~ geo-referenced groundwater withdrawal data compiled for
the ground model in East WRIA 18 and the Ecoloqy 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.
Collaborative action: Clallam County, the Department of Ecology and the
Department of Health should ioin in a coordinated program to enforce and fund
manaqement of this problem
Authorities to pursue this program should be clearly determined before
proceeding. Any authorities that require deleqation should be so assiqned
Funding for the program should be pursued cooperatively.

3. Partner with the Washington Department of Health in training, siting, and
enforcement of wellheads and setbacks.
3.4.4 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
It~tergovernmental Agreement formalized WRIA 18 responsibility for these areas in
watershed planning. A chanqe 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), all of which fall
within Clallam County.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Plans, policies, monitorinq, and data are coordinated in East WRIA 18 to full
advantaqe by includinq 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 boundaries of WRIA 18.
· East WRIA 18 and West WRIA 18 are separated into two WRIAs, focusinq on their
maior drainaqes (Dungeness River and Elwha River).
Recommendations
A. Separate WRIAs: The Washinqton Department of Ecoloqy is requested to separate
WRIA 18 into two WRIAs: the Elwha River Planning Area and the Dun.qeness River
Planning Area.
B. Dunqeness River WRIA Boundaries: The Washington Department of Ecolo.qy is
requested to change the boundary between WRIA 17 and the new WRIA created for
the Dun.qeness River Planninq Area to include Sequim Bay and the drainaqe areas
for JimmyComeLately Creek, Dean Creek, Johnson Creek, Chicken Coop Creek
and other small unnamed Sequim Bay drainages.
3,4.5 Water Conservation in 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 standards that promote the use of native
plants with Iow water consumption, and landscaping/water use requirements for go!f_
courses (which typically have high irrigation demands):
Existing Condition and Current Actions
~N.T_RIX, Inc ......... Preliminary Draft WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3.4 Land Use and Land Management Recommendations PaRe 3-89
Clallam County does not currently have water use or landscapinq standards for qolf
courses or other high water consumption land uses. The City of Pod Angeles does not
have standards, nor does it regulate water use for qolf course. The City of Sequim
considers golf courses, parks, and playgrounds "special use" uses, meaning it requires
specific aRprovat of the City Council; water use is not a part of the approval criteria.
Incentives to conserve water may not be effective on leased or rental properties, where
the landowner and/or water right owner may not be aware of actual water use.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Local jurisdictions' land use documents and codes encouraqe/require Iow outdoor
water use options, including for golf course design and landscaping standards.
· Local jurisdictions' plans and codes consistently encourage Iow water use for all
uses,
Recommendations
Section 3.1.7 contains water conservation recommendations, includinq Iow water use
landscapin.q recommendations (Part I). Also Box I (above) includes pertinent DQ
recommendations related to goff course water conservation (DQ Recommendation
C.4.1.1 a).
A. Local jurisdictions' should review land use plans and codes to identify opportunities
to reduce water consumption on golf courses and other hiqh-consumption outdoor
water uses.
1. The review should consider both new and existing development.
2. Opportunities to integrate water quality and water quantity mana.qement should
be sought.
3. Opportunities to use reclaimed water for irriqating golf courses, public parks and
other appropriate hiqh-demand outdoor water uses should be encouraqed.
4~ Open space benefits of water~efficient irrigated agriculture should be promoted.
3.4.6 Industrial Site and Solid Waste Mana.qement
Issue: Former industrial sites and existinq landfills have the potential to impact surface
and groundwater quality, as welt as adiacent and surroundinq land uses.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
The former Rayonier Mill site, at the base of Ennis Creek1 is subject to the State Model
Toxics Control Act (MTCA), as well as other Superfund related clean-up requirements.
The MTCA serves to mandate the condition to which industrial sites be returned. The
MCTA also outlines a set of protocols to which the Mill clean up must adhere. Other
industrial sites exist which may impact water quality.

Two active and two closed and capped solid waste facilities exist in West WRIA 18. The
two active landfills are the City of Port Anqeles site at the terminus of 18th Street in Port
Angeles and the Lawson-Daishowa landfill, off Monroe Road. The closed sites are
located at 13th and M Streets in Port Angeles and east of Port Angeles, off Mount
Pleasant Road. These facilities are subject to State of Washinqton and Clallam County
Environmental Health regulations and standards. Other facilities may have been closed
prior to current regulations.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Industrial sites and solid waste landfills are cleaned up and managed to avoid
adverse effects on WRIA 18 water resources.
Clean-up levels are achieved consistent with the planned future use of such sites
and the risk they represent.
Recommendations
A. Cleanup Standards for Former Industrial Sites: The State of Washington should
follow the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) process to evaluate and clean up former
industrial sites.
2. 3. 4.
B. Solid Waste Landfill Management
1. The City and County should adhere to State of Washin.qton Solid Waste regulations,
as well as Clallam County Environmental Health standards.
3.4.7 Forest Lands Management
Issue: Public timber harvest and forest management practices may increase and
accelerate delivery of sediment to rivers and streams. Forest land and road
manaqement can also negatively impact stream temperatures, large woody debris
recruitment, stream channel structure and network, fish passage, barriers, hydroloqy,
wetlands and riparian habitat conditions. Conversion of forest land into non-aqricultural
uses also has the potential to reduce water quality and riparian habitat by increasing
sedimentation and peak flows and by reducinq shade and larcle woody debris
recruitment. Sediment delivery has been 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 and with timber-related activities such as forest roads and timber -
harvest.

3.6 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
3.6.1 WestWRIA 18 Watershed Council
Issue: The Dungeness-Quilcene Plan recommended that a Watershed Council be
established to carry forward its work and achieve ongoing continuity of regional habitat
management. This Watershed Council, the Dungeness River Management Team
(DRMT), has become a model for the State in cooperative watershed management and
planning. The 2514 Watershed Planning has extended to West WRIA 18 the attention
originally given to East 18 watershed resources under the DQ Plan. The West WRIA 18
Planning Unit has considered whether a Watershed Council similar to DRMT should be
established in West WRIA 18.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
DRMT has served as the East WRIA 18 Planning Unit for this Watershed Plan and will
continue to implement this plan within the framework of its ongoing watershed
management program (encompassing the area from Sequim Bay to Bagley Creek). The
Elwha-Morse Management Team (EMMT) was created to serve as the 2514 Planning
Unit for West WRIA 18 (covering the area from the Elwha River to Morse Creek), but
has no comparable ongoing m~nagement responsibility once the 2514 watershed plan
is complete.
Desired Outcome
· Ongoing watershed management for West WRIA 18 overseen through a Watershed
Council advised by a technical committee.
Recommendations
Establish Watershed Council: In order to provide for ongoing watershed
management for West WRIA 18, a Watershed Council and an advisory technical
committee should be established. 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 Makeup: 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:
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 EIwha 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).
Fundin.q: 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 and marine shorelines. 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 agencies providing permits for river and nearshore marine work to
develop a user-friendly system which would allow for habitat improvement
ENTRIX, Inc. Preliminary Draft WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3.6 Watershed Management Recommendations Page 3-87
projects.
l~J. Habitat Management Plannin.q: The Technical Committee should develop for
Watershed Council consideration a comprehensive habitat management plan for
each West WRIA 18 drainage and marine shoreline, taking into account the
natural, historical processes which have and are occurring on the river systems.
Theplan should include:
1. Comprehensive habitat inventories;
2. Description of needed restoration and enhancement and the potential benefits to
each creek or river and its community;
3. 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;
4. Identification of the relationship of habitat plans to fish and stock recovery efforts;
5. Recommended changes in local critical areas, flood control, shoreline master
planninq, and land use ordinances related to habitat and salmonid needs;
6. Recommended monitoring and adaptive management.
~K. Ongoin.q 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.
3.6.2 Local Watershed Groups
ISsue: The larger watersheds of WRIA 18 (the Dungeness and Elwha rivers) have
numerous stakeholders, including Tribes, all levels of government, major water
purveyors, and a diversity of local citizen interests. Ongoing watershed management in
these larger watersheds requires the scale of effort and multistakeholder coordination
that occurs in DRMT and is proposed for the recommended West WRIA 18 Watershed
Council (referred to hereafter as "the Watershed Councils"). Smaller watersheds in East
and West WRIA 18 may not command the same degree of attention or resoumes, and
needed watershed management actions may be deferred in these subbasins due to
limitations on the time and resources of the representatives to the Watershed Councils.
However, local watershed groups have come forward in several subbasins, and have
shown the potential to accomplish a groat deal to restore streams and habitat, assist
salmon recovery, and improve water quality in these smaller streams. Successful
implementation of this Watershed Plan can be substantially furthered by locally
committed and focused groups who actively work at a grass-roots level within the
framework provided by the larger-scale Watershed Councils.
Existing Conditions and Current Actions
DRMT has historically focused a great deal of attention on the Dungeness River and its
watershed and on a few creeks such as JimmyComeLately and Matriotti. Less attention
has been available for the other independent drainages and some tributaries of the
Dungeness River. A very active subbasin group has been formed for Siebert Creek in
ENTRIX, Inc. Preliminary Draft WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3.6 Watershed Management Recommendations Page 3-88
East WRIA 18, and has approached DRMT to collaborate. In West WRIA 18, Valley and
Ennis Creeks have also attracted very active groups of local stakeholders who are
pursuing restoration and protection of their resources. These groups have obtained
funding, promoted understanding of their watersheds, and are working on a variety of
watershed management and conservation goals.
Desired Outcomes
· ' Strengthened watershed management through subbasin volunteer groups.
· Ownership and responsibility for local watershed management by residents of
subbasins.
· Increased local activity to protect and restore WRIA 18 subbasins.
· An increase in fundinq, technical, and organizational support and skills at the Io~al
subbasin leVel.

18, be.qinning toward the 3bc';~ dccired .......... w~th the existing local
watershed groups formed for Siebert, Valley and Ennis Creeks.
Solicit New Local Watershed Groups: Annual public announcements should be
made by the Watershed Councils of their interest in working with local watershed
groups to achieve the desired outcomes described above. It should be the goal
of the Watershed Councils to encourage the development of local watershed
groups in all WRIA 18 subbasins over the next 20 years.
Partnerships: Facilitate partnerships with existinq groups such as
Streamkeepers, local government, tribes, local and regional economic interests,
school groups and other stakeholders to encourage and nurture active
participation in the local watershed groups.

Recommended West WRIA 18 Watershed Council should.provide ongoing
support to local watershed groups by providing a framework within which local
efforts can become incorporated and integrated to meet larger regional
watershed management goals, including:
1. access to technical and material resources
2. training
3. funding information and support in obtaining funding
4. materials and documents and other appropriate and necessary tools to
assist subbasin watershed management
Annual Local Watershed Groups Workshop: Annually, the Watershed Councils
should sponsor a workshop for interested stakeholders in WRIA 18 local
watersheds, with the objectives of providing support to nascent groups such as
information on how to start a group; how to build community support; how to
attract and organize volunteers; how to identify, characterize and assess the
importance of subbasin watershed management issues, including habitat
restoration and salmon recovery; and sources of funding and how to apply for
funding.

3.8.3 Valley Creek (WRIA# 18-0249)
Issue: Valley Creek is a relatively small, independent drainage, entering salt water near
the center of Port Angeles harbor. It has been significantly altered to accommodate
urban and industrial development in Port Angeles, with the more than 2000 feet of the
lower channel contained in a continuous series of concrete culverts. Habitat degradation
has been so great as to extirpate all salmonid species except for cutthroat trout and
some coho. The Limiting Factors Analysis (LFA) (Haring, 1999) has identified water

quality and/or habitat recommendations to address on this stream.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
Though heavily altered over the years of urban and upstream development, recent
activities h~,ave resulted in the formation of an active local watershed group, the Valley
Creek Restoration Committee (VCRC) that has developed an overall work plan and
coordinated ongoing restoration. The committee formed in 1999 following the
construction of a human-created 1.5 acre estuary in 1998 and the identification of other
potential restoration projects. The VCRC has now completed further restoration projects
(passage improvements to the box culvert under Highway 101, and full habitat
restoration of 1500 feet of previously straightened and channelized stream), and is
moving ahead to new priorities. A conceptual restoration plan has been developed for
the watershed (McHenry and Odenweller 1998), which the group has worked to
incorporate as it broadens its emphasis into a more complete restoration framework,
including land acquisition, recreational, and educational components. VCRC has
developed a specific work plan with explicit recommendations, which are reflected as
the recommendations in this section.
In addition to the fish passage problems posed by the culverted lower reach, stormwater
impacts, both in quantity and quality, continue to be of particular concern.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Limiting factors (Haring 1999) addressed by appropriate agencies and local
jurisdictions and recommendations implemented to the extent feasible.
· Valley Creek achieves properly functioning water quality and habitat conditions
adequate to support healthy populations of all naturally-occurring anadromous
stocks.
· A functionally restored watershed supporting healthy fisheries alongside compatible
educational activities and a trail.

LFA Recommendations
The TAG agrees with the recommendations of the conceptual restoration plan for Valley Creek (McHenry
and Odenweller 1998), This report establishes strategies for the watershed that include:
· Improve passage conditions and eliminate long reaches of culverts
· Restore the lower % mile of stream by re-meandering, restoring LWD, and
recreating pools to the maximum extent possible
· Reestablish floodplain process by reducing or eliminating floodplain constrictions,
particularly downstream of Highway 101
· Remediate stormwater management in the watershed to collect, treat, and discharge
stormwater in a manner that avoids adverse impacts to Valley Creek and other
surface waters
Restore riparian vegetation communities and instream large wood
3.8.4 Peabody Creek (WRIA# 18-0245)
Issue: Peabody Creek is a relatively small, rain-dominated, independent drainage to
salt water, entering Port Angeles harbor in downtown Port Angeles. The 4.8-mile long
stream drains through heavily urbanized areas of Port Angeles. Sewage was historically
discharged directly to Peabody Creek. Vast quantities of stormwater are currently
routed into the creek. Historic logging has occurred throughout the watershed. A portion
of upper stream corridor was included in recent additions to Olympic National Park
associated with the Hurricane Ridge Road. The Limiting Factors Analysis (LFA) (Haring,
1999) has identified water quality and/or habitat recommendations to address on this
stream.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
As noted in the NOPLEG Strategy (2001), though Peabody Creek historically supported
coho and possibly chum salmon, the number and magnitude of limiting factors results in
little restoration potential for the stream as it currently exists. Restoration would require
extensive culvert removal, extensive stormwater retrofit, and property acquisition in
heavily urbanized portions of Port Angeles. Restoration should be considered for
continued support of cutthroat, water quality, and other salmonids, but may rank Iow for
salmon and steelhead in comparison to restoration benefits in other streams in WRIA
18.
Of particular concern, Haring (1999) notes that upstream of potential anadromous
habitat, on Olympic National Park ownership, the stream is encased within two small-
diameter (~4 ft.) culverts buried under 30-40 feet of fill. This material is apparently
composed of spoils from the Hurricane Ridge Road construction. The spoils were
placed in the valley bottom of Peabody Creek, on top of the culverts, as a disposal site.
The culverts are approximately 30 years old and deteriorating, representing both a
ENTRIX, Inc. Draft WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3.8 Port Angeles Independent Drainages Recommendations Page 3-t00
if any, production potential in that area. In addition, the 800-foot culvert in White Creek
under Highway 101 is a virtually complete barrier to salmon passage. The WDFW Fish
Passage Barrier database (1999) indicates that removal and replacement of this culvert
would provide access to an additional 4772 m2 of spawning habitat and 5945 m2 of
rearing habitat. However, .the channel in the upper watershed is steep and tightly
confined, and the available habitat has experienced widespread degradation. This
degradation is a result of extensive development in the headwaters, withdrawal of
domestic water from wells immediatel'y adjacent to the stream, runoff from an old
garbage dump, and numerous locations where recreational vehicles regularly run
through the channel. In addition, the cost to remove and replace the culvert would be
very high.
There are no active restoration/improvement actions or programs undertaken in the
White Creek Watershed.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Limiting factors (Haring 1999) addressed by appropriate agencies and local
jurisdictions and recommendations implemented to the extent feasible.
· White Creek achieves properly functioning water quality and habitat conditions to the
extent feasible (however restoration is a lower priority than other streams in WRIA
18).
Recommendations
Water Quality
1. Initiate water quality sampling on White Creek in the near future.
2. Local jurisdictions should conduct a reconnaissance of White Creek to identify
illegal discharge pipes. State assistance should be sought in this effort.
B. Habitat
No new stream-specific recommendations developed.
LFA Recommendations
The Limiting Factors Analysis (Hating, 1999) did not separately consider White Creek. It was treated as a
tributary of Ennis Creek.
3.8,6 Ennis Creek (WRIA# '18-0234)
Issue: Ennis Creek is the smallest snow fed stream on the North Olympic Peninsula,
with its headwaters located within Olympic National Park. The Limiting Factors Analysis
(LFA) (Haring, 1999) has identified water quality and/or habitat recommendations to
address on this stream.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
ENTRIX, Inc. Draft WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3,8 Port Angeles Independent Drainages Recommendations Page 3-101
Ennis Creek is generally considered the healthiest of the Port Angeles urban streams,
having the largest undisturbed upper watershed, the least development, the greatest
diversity of existing native fish stocks, and the highest potential for restoration and
salmon recovery among these urban streams. The creek is generally steep and is
confined within much of its length by valley side slopes. A Klallam village site (Y'inis)
was historically located at the mouth of Ennis Creek. In the late nineteenth century the
first cooperative colony in Washington was constructed at the historic village site. A
large pulp mill followed in the 1930's. That mill has been demolished and the site is
undergoing cleanup and restoration, in preparation for sale to a new owner and
subsequent new development. The generally satisfactory condition of much of the Ennis
Creek watershed has led to a focus on specific remaining issues, such as the Rayonier
Mill site and various fish passage, stormwater, and water quality issues. Friends of
Ennis Creek, an informal local watershed group, is actively pursuing a variety of
restoration projects and educational activities. WDFW has recommended replacing the
existing Highway 101 culvert on the creek with a bridge to alleviate fish passage
problems. Acting as the Citizen Facilitation Group, EMMT sent a letter of support for
bridge replacement. The EIwha-Morse Management Team has recommended to the
NOPLE that Ennis Creek should be made a Tier 2 stream due to its high quality habitat.
In May 2000, oversight of cleanup of the Rayonier millsite, at the mouth of the creek,
Was delegated to the state under a three-party Deferral Agreement involving the EPA.
'Department of Ecology, and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. This involves a cleanup
process under the state Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA)..The Lower Elwha Klallam
Tribe has concurrence on all major cteanup decisions throughout this process because
cleanup activities could affect its Treaty fisheries. The Tribe also has strong historical
ties to the site. A Site Management Team (SMT) comprised of Rayonier, Ecology. and
the Tribe is involved in planning activities associated with the cleanup process. Interim
Cleanup Actions were completed at three locations
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Limiting factors (Haring 1999) addressed by appropriate agencies and local
jurisdictions and recommendations implemented to the extent feasible.
· Ennis Creek achieves properly functioning water quality and habitat conditions
adequate to support healthy populations of all naturally-occurring anadromous
stocks.
· Existing high-quality habitat preserved in Ennis Creek.
· Rayonier Mill site restored to the level needed to support the broader Ennis Creek
objectives of restored fisheries, including healthy functioning restored estuary,
floodplain, and riparian zone.

3.8.7 Lee's Creek (WRIA# 18-0232)
Issue: Lees Creek is a medium-sized independent drainage to salt water, entering the
Strait of Juan de Fuca just east of Port Angeles. It currently supports very Iow numbers
of anadromous salmon, limited to a few returning coho and steelhead. The Limiting
Factors Analysis (LFA) (Haring, 1999) has identified water quality and/or habitat
recommendations to address on this stream.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
Lees Creek is a "naturally closed channel" through the summer, as the mouth of. the
channel is isolated from the Strait of Juan de Fuca by a natural sand spit during Iow flow
periods. Access is available to anadromous salmon only when flows and tides increase
to the extent that the sand spit is overtopped. Lees Creek has been significantly altered
from its historic condition.
, , ................. ~,"e~$ ........
..... p ..... ,, ,~..~, ,~,, ....,, ,wv,, ........... Various constrictions affecting
downstream flow and fish passage are still in place, although some have been resolved
in recent years. Inadequate large woody debris is a widespread problem. Stormwater
flows (including those from several landfills), animal-keeping practices, water quality
impacts from surface nonpoint sources, and sedimentation are ongoing issues in this
watershed. No active restoration/improvement actions or programs are known in the
Lees Creek watershed.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
Limiting factors (Haring 1999) addressed by appropriate agencies and local
jurisdictions and recommendations implemented to the extent feasible.
Lees Creek achieves properly functioning water quality and habitat conditions to the
extent feasible.

A. Water Quality

Chapter 3.9 Morse Creek Recommendations Page 3-103
3.9 MORSE CREEK RECOMMENDATIONS
Section 3.3 contains recommendations for instream flows and other recommendations for
small rural and urban streams, habitat restoration, salmon recovery, and related environments
(e.g., riparian corridors, wetlands, estuaries) that are intended to be considered for all WRIA 18
streams and rivers. Sections 3.1 and 3.2 contain water quantity and water quality
recommendations that also apply to al! WRIA 18 subbasins.
Issue: Morse Creek is the largest of the independent drainages to salt water between
the Dungeness and Elwha rivers, entering the Strait of Juan de Fuca approximately two
miles east of Port Angeles. The stream extends 16.3 miles from its headwaters in the
Olympic National Park. Its moderate watershed (52.7+ mi2)~ drains steep 'headwaters,
including Hurricane Ridge, Mount Angeles, and Deer Park. Fishery stocks known to
have inhabited Morse Creek include spring/summer Chinook, coho, chum, and pink
salmon, summer and winter steelhead, and searun cutthroat trout. Natural falls at river
mile 4.9 divide the watershed, posing an impassable barrier to anadromous fish (Haring
1999), and a resident population of rainbow trout occurs above the falls. Th& Limiting
Factors Analysis (LFA) (Haring, 1999) has identified water quality and/or habitat
recommendations to address on this stream.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
Morse Creek is among the smaller WRIA 18 "snow streams", with bimodal peak flow
developed by winter storms and by spring runoff from its snow-fed headwaters in the
Olympic National Park. Streams having bimodal peak floWs are quite productive, and
Morse Creek is particularly productive for its size. Morse Creek is classified a Tier 1
stream by the North Olympic Lead Entity, For its size, it has great historic di~/ersity of
existing native fish stocks, and high potential to provide quality salmon habitat. Habitat
quality and conditions are excellent in the watershed above the Olympic National Park
boundary at RM 9.0, and conditions are generally good to excellent above RM 3 to the
Olympic National Park boundary. Current issues and concerns include the operation of
the City of Port Angeles hydroelectric facility (which includes a bypass reach of
approximately 0.5 miles of anadromous habitat below the falls); 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. In addition, the
effects of the two large "Four Seasons" land developments (at River Mile 2 and on the
Morse Creek estuary), as well as the possible future development in the Mining Creek
and Frog Creek watersheds are sources of concern.
The most serious impacts to the Morse Creek watershed are present in the lower two
miles. In this area the stream has been almost completely channelized, with the two
dense residential developments resulting in homes and yards immediately adjacent to
the creek. This has virtually eliminated functional riparian and floodplain functions. The
~The City of Port Angeles FERC application gives the watershed area as 46 mi2 above the diversion at
RM 7.2. Perry (draft2001) describes the upland and highland areas as totaling 46.6 mi2, and in
appendices, describes the Morse Creek lowland area as 6.055 mis. WDOE (1983) gives the total
drainage area as 57 mis.
ENTRIX, Inc. Preliminary Draft WRIA 18 Watershed Plan
Chapter 3.9 Morse Creek Recommendations Page 3-104
watershed's history of logging has caused a degradation of the quantity and quality of
LWD, which has been compounded in the lower two miles by a history of active LWD
removal in the name of avoiding logjam-caused flooding. Highway 101 and the former
railroad trestle now incorporated in the Olympic Discovery Trail each represent a
constriction to flood flows and functional wood recruitment processes. The estuary has
been severely degraded by both the upland residential activities and the widespread
alterations to Port Angeles Harbor, including inter-tidal filling, shoreline armoring, log
storage, pulp mill operations, and urban run-off.
Recent land acquisitions immediately above and below Highway 101 offer important
opportunities to restore meandering channel, healthy riparian habitat, and some
functional floodplain. Substantial funding will be required to move on to these projects.
Beyond these pending opportunities, there are no active restoration/improvement~
actions or programs undertaken in the Morse Creek watershed. ~
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Limiting factors (Haring 1999) addressed by appropriate agencies and local
jurisdictions and recommendations implemented to the extent feasible.
· Morse Creek achieves properly functioning water quality and habitat conditions
adequate to support healthy popultions of all naturally-occurring anadromous stocks.
· Preserve existing high-quality habitat in Morse Creek,
Recommendations
Water Quality
Monitoring
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, 2Point-source abatement) should be taken to manage
water quality problems.

3.14 STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA NEARSHORE MARINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Section 3.3 contains recommendations for instream flows and other recommendations
for small rural and urban streams, habitat restoration, salmon recovery, and related
environments (e.g., riparian corridors, wetlands, estuaries) that are intended to be
considered for all WRIA 18 streams and rivers. Sections 3.1 and 3.2 contain water
quantity and water quality recommendations that also apply to all WRIA 18 subbasins.
Issue: The nearshore marine/estuarine environment provides all lifecycle requirements
to resident shellfish and is critical to juvenile Pacific salmon for feeding, rearing, and
migrating. In addition, it provides essential habitat to adult salmon as they return to their
natal streams to spawn. It is an important element of the physical, biological, and,
hydrologic integrity of WRIA 18 watersheds.
Existing Condition and Current Actions
Nearshore marine and estuarine environments in WRIA 18 have been widely altered
and degraded and the overall water quality of these waters is poorly understood
throughout much of WRIA 18. In the two areas for which significant data exists, Port
Angeles Harbor and Dungeness Bay, poor water quality is a serious problem. Shoreline
armoring is widespread, severely degrading shoreline currents, sediment processes,
vegetative communities, vertebrate and invertebrate communities (salmonid food
sources), and the protective habitat provided by natural shorelines. The WRIA 18
Limiting Factors Analysis (Haring, 1999) and the North Olympic Peninsula Lead Entity
Group (NOPLEG) Salmon Recovery Strategy (2001) provide general identification of
nearshore and estuarine habitat issues and needs. Both documents highlight the
significant alteration of nearshore/estuarine environments in WRIA 18. Both describe
the impacts these alterations have had to this complex and dynamic environment that
links watersheds to marine environments. The LFA and NOPLEG Strategy, together
with the Marine Resources Committee (MRC) have developed expanded lists of
projects and guidance for the prioritization of projects. Some projects arising from these
strategies have been initiated or completed, but many more remain to be done.
The Puget Sound Nearshore Proiect, a partnership between the US Army Corps of
Engineers and numerous state and local a.qencies and groups, is in the early stages of
an assessment expected to extend to 2005, followed by concentrated action on
prioritization and design of restoration activities throu,qh 2008. It is then expected that
the priority restoration and preservation actions would begin in 2008. In the interim,
early action restoration and preservation work will likely be done as well.
Desired Conditions and Outcomes
· Estuarine and nearshore marine waters meet all applicable water quality standards.
· Estuarine and nearshore marine waters have sufficient water quality to support
healthy populations of all appropriate shellfish.
· Estuarine and nearshore marine waters have sufficient water quality to support
healthy populations of the life stages of all native anadromous and coastal marine
stocks and species of fish.

approved on May 21, 2002. The agreement included a scope and budget for Tasks 1 and 2, with
a total not to exceed $150,200.98. Additional tasks were anticipated but no agreement on scope
or price was included.
Amendment No. 1 to the agreement was signed July 17, 2002, adding a scope and budget for
Task 3, the design o£various sewer main replacement projects. The revised total contract
amount was increased to $186,552.02, and the performance period extended to August 31, 2003.
It is now proposed that two more tasks be added to this agreement. The City has negotiated a
revision to the Wastewater Treatment Plant's (WWTP) National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit that allows the City to delay until the end of 2004 the elimination of the
CSO outfall at pump station #1. Task 4 will involve the design of a gravity sewer from pump
station #1 to pump station #3, eliminating the need for pump station #1 as well as the CSO
outfall there.
Task 5 will be for directed services. This will allow the City to direct Skillings-Connolly to
complete various smaller engineering tasks not originally anticipated. Examples of this would be
flow modeling of a section of our sewer system to analyze the impact of a proposed
development, or assisting in the design of repairs to a failure in a part of the water or wastewater
collection system.

Glenn A. Cutler, Director of Public Works and Utilities
Purchase of Surplus Aerial Manlift / Bucket Truck From The City of Blaine
Summary: Light Operations' manlift truck//162 is scheduled to be replaced in 2004. The City
~f Blaine has a nearly new 2000 Chevrolet C-8500 aerial manlift / bucket truck with ,Braden
vinch surplus to their requirements. The City of Port Angeles can purchase this truck at a
:ubstantial savings.
Recommendation: Authorize the Director of Public Works and Utilities to purchase the
2000 Chevrolet C-8500 aerial manlift / bucket truck with Braden winch from the City of
Blaine in the amount of $120,000.00.
Background/Analysis: Light Operations presently has a 1992 Ford manlift truck, vehicle ID
#162 that is scheduled for replacement in 2004. It is a two bucket unit with a working height of
60 feet and is an integral part of Light Operations equipment, especially when performing work
on the City's transmission lines.
WISHA and OSHA regulations rely upon manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and
replacement of equipment. Vehicle #162 is approaching the end of its useful life and needs to be
replaced. The estimated replacement value for this equipment is approximately $250,000.
Currently, $175,000 is available in the equipment services fund for replacement.
The City of Blaine has surplused a 2000 Chevrolet C-8500 aerial manlift / bucket truck with
Braden winch. The vehicle was placed into service in late 2001. After receiving the truck it was
determined that it was to large to work in the narrow alleys in Blaine. In view of this situation, a
decision was made to surplus the new truck and pumhase a smaller vehicle better suited for their
needs. The vehicle is nearly new. It has only 1,824 miles and 311 hours on the engine. It is
anticipated that only $1,000 will be required to make the vehicle fully functional for use by the
light crews.
The City of Blaine has determined that the fair market value of this equipment is $120,000.
Dave Ireland, Light Operations Manager, and Veru Daugaard, Equipment Operator, traveled to
Blaine to inspect and operate the manlift. It was determined that this equipment meets the City's
needs and requirements. Dave Ireland also contacted Air Tech, the manlifi manufacturer, and
received information on the maintenance and warrantee work performed on the vehicle. Air
17
Tech performed the required initial "shakedown" and adjustment to the vehicle approximately
one month ago. They found the vehicle and manlift to be in excellent shape and no additional
maintenance work was required. Also, Air Tech quoted $120,000.00 as the fair market value of
the equipment.
Purchasing this piece of equipment would save the City significant funds. The Utility Advisory
Committee at the their June 9, 2003 meeting endorsed the purchase.
It is recommended that Council authorize the Director of Public Works and Utilities to purchase
the 2000 Chevrolet C-8500 aerial manlift / bucket truck with Braden winch from the City of
Blaine in the amount of $120,000.00.

over 500 individuals. Because of the number of participants, it is expected that 1000 -
1500 people will come to the community; Mr. Little encouraged the Council to join
the event, perhaps as volunteers. Further, he urged the Council to impress upon the
communitythe importance of making the town look good for these visitors. Discussion
followed, and Mr. Little announced that the course for the event had received
certification from U.S. Track and Field, which is a great fete.
Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) and Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) Workshop
and Public Hearing:
Public Works & Utilities Director Cutler, aided by PowerPoint slides, reviewed and
discussed 2002 and 2003 CFP/TIP project status, noting that it represents $7.6 million
in work and effort. Director Cutler provided further details on the composting
facilities, Fire Station roof repair costs and anticipated reimbursement, and a septage
receiving station that is being discussed with the County. He reviewed in detail the
Governmental Fund project allocations, which encompass $2.7 million in projects
numbered 1 - 20, plus the top 3 projects which equate to $1 million for 2003. In
response to inquiries from the Council, Director Cutler explained that the Chip Seal
Program was delayed this year in order to leverage grant funding for the 5~h & Race
signal. Repair work is also being planned for Peabody Street.
In reviewing the General Projects, Director Cutler indicated some of the priorities
needed to be changed, such as Rip Rap and Laurel Street Stair Repair needing to be
lowered in priority, and Homeland Security and Community Projects needing to be
raised in priority. The welcome sign at Deer Park could be lowered in priority due to
lack of funding, and certain Police and Fire projects needed could be reversed in
priority. The top 20 Street projects only were representative of the TIP, and Director
Cutler informed the Council that, as long as the projects were on the TIP, the City
could then seek grant or loan funds for the project.
Mayor Wiggins directed attention to the tree planting project, indicating it was his
impression that the Council wanted this program to continue on an annual basis. He
urged Council to stay the course in this regard. Director Cutler explained how funds
had been used as leverage in obtaining grant funds for the improvements on the east
side of town. The tree planting program did not need to stop, even if the City were
unsuccessful in obtaining additional funding. Councilman Williams reported this
matter had been discussed earlier in the day at a meeting of the Port Angeles Forward
Executive Committee, and the group had urged the Council to also extend efforts in
maintaining these improvements. He supported additional funding for ongoing
maintenance, whether through privatization or community service workers,
acknowledging it may be necessary to hire someone to supervise the workers in order
to accomplish the maintenance on a regular basis. Councilman Headrick indicated it
had been suggested that the Parks & Recreation Department oversee the community
service workers, and Recreation Manager Cole responded that the Parks Department
is currently organizing the program under its auspices.
Director Cutler then reviewed the various departmental projects, and Councilmember
Rogers urged a thorough review of the present parks system, noting that certain parks
may no longer be serving a significant part of the residents in view of surrounding
commercial businesses. She felt it may be advisable to sell some of the under-used
parks in order to stimulate development. Manager Quinn responded that he had asked
Director Counelly to include this option in the Parks Plan, which will be brought before
the Council for policy direction. He agreed that, if a park is located in a commercial
area, then the property could likely be used for another purpose. In addition, Manager
Quinn referenced the issue of maintenance, noting that the Francis Street Park had
intentionally been landscaped with plants that required less maintenance.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Director Cutler proceeded to a review of the projects in the various utility depart'menU,
after which Mayor Wiggins opened the public hearing at 7:00 p.m., and Director Cutler
recommended that the public hearing be continued to the next Council meeting.
Paul Lamoureux, 602 Whidby, questioned the project for residential infrastructure
development, and Director Cutler responded that it is the City's effort to extend utilities
in order to stimulate residential development. The funding set aside will likely only
extend utilities to an equivalent ora City block. Mr. Lamoureux inquired as to why the
City would have any financial responsibilities in the Fire Station roof repair. Director
Cutler indicated the City has identified its financial responsibility of approximately
$50,000; the remainder should be forthcoming via insurance reimbursement. Mr.
Lamoureux suggested litigation, but Director Cutler informed him that the contractor
is no longer in business. Mr. Lamoureux then addressed Street projects, reiterating past
commentaries supporting a White's Creek crossing in order to accommodate traffic in
and out of Port Angeles. He was concerned that an emergency situation in the Morse
Creek area might negate any possibility of evacuation. After further discussion of this
issue with the Council, Mr. Lamoureux felt that a White's Creek Crossing could be the
frrst phase of an ongoing project to bypass Morse Creek. Mr. Lamoureux sought
clarification concerning the water treatment facility, which Director Cutler
acknowledged was related to the removal of the Elwha Dams.
There being no further public testimony, Councilman Braun moved to continue the
public hearing to the City Council meeting of June 16, 2003. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Erickson and carried unanimously.
Attention was again directed to the Work Session on the CFP/TIP, with Director Cutler
reviewing the General Fund project allocations. He reviewed in detail the
memorandum in the Information Agenda concerning the recent selection of an
engineering consultant for the 8® Street Bridges, who is committed to assisting the City
in gaining a 20% match. Director Cutler explained where funds are being set aside
toward the required match, after which he summarized the unprioritized projects which
were listed in view of previous interest expressed in the projects. Lengthy discussion
was held concerning the Peabody Street reconstruction, and Deputy Director of
Engineering Services Kenworthy answered an inquiry from Councilman Williams
agreeing that some of the Street funds would be used for the project in order to gain
more from the investment. Councilman Williams expressed interest in seeing other
options presented for funding of such catastrophic failures in order to avoid the use of
what should be ongoing street maintenance funds. Manager Quinn explained the
difficulty in budgeting for these types of projects, noting there could be a street levy if
approved by the voters. Councilman Campbell submitted that, if such a request were
taken to the public for a vote, it would need to be very project specific.
Councilmember Rogers indicated this will be considered by the Community &
Economic Development Committee, and Councilman Williams mentioned the
possibility of some of these funds being used to also address the stormwater intrusion.
Mayor Wiggins introduced his sister and brother-in-law, after which he recessed the
meeting for a break at 7:45 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:00 p.m.
Councilman Campbell, in order to provide additional direction to the staff and in order
to correct an omission by the Finance Committee to recognize the need to continue the
annual tree planting on the eastern side of the City, moved to direct the staff to find
$25,000 in the 2003 Budget to use as a match for a grant for additional
landscaping and tree planting or, in the absence of a match or a grant, to spend
the $25,000 on the landscaping and tree planting in the eastern part of the City
as a continuation of the program. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Erickson. Councilman Williams asked that $5,000 be added to that figure in order to
accommodate maintenance; however, Councilman Campbell indicated that would not
be a capital expec}e.,but, rather, would be an operating expense. Manager Quinn

indicated it would become part of the City's operating budget. A vote was taken on
the motion, which carried unanimously.
Proposed 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments:
Community Development Director Collins advised the Council that the primary area
of concern in the proposed 2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments had to do with a
request from the Elwha Tribe to extend the boundary of the western UGA. Both the
State and the County have expressed concern with the proposal, feeling that more time
should be given to the consideration before a recommendation moves forward.
Director Collins distributed copies of a letter received from the County Planning
Director in that regard.
Director Collins recommended that the public hearing be opened and continued to the
June 16 City Council meeting, after which he explained that Ordinance "A" in the
packet was representative of the Comprehensive Plan amendment without the issue of
the western UGA, and Ordinance "B' was inclusive of that recommendation. Director
Collins also reported there was controversy with the State concerning the RS- 12 zoning
designation at 3.62 units per acre, most of which would occur in the UGA. Councilman
Williams asked for further clarification, which Director Collins indicated he would
make available at the next meeting.
Mayor Wiggins opened the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. Councilmember Rogers
indicated that the Community & Economic Development Committee had not reviewed
these proposed changes, and she asked that the Comprehensive Plan amendments be
discussed at the group's next meeting. There being no public testimony, Councilman
Campbell moved to continue the public hearing to June 16, 2003. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Williams and carried unanimously.
Manager Quinn asked that Water Utility Materials be added as Agenda Item D.4.
Councilmember Rogers asked the Mayor to deviate from the ~genda by moving to
Other Considerations following the presentation of the Carnegie Library Restoration.
Paul Lamoureux, 602 Whidby, revisited the matter of fluoridation, suggesting the use
of a pilot program in a specific area of those wanting fluoridated water. He asked that
a vote be conducted, and the individuals participating in the pilot program could
conduct a test of the fluoride before the City moves to fluoridating the entire water
supply. On the matter of water conservation, he suggested that the City consider a
rebate program, similar to the current conservation program, for those individuals using
a re-circulated water system.

Association, thanked Chief Riepe for this cooperative effort for the downtown area.
She noted how the downtown has become more pedestrian oriemed, with 12% more
businesses, more residents, more new businesses, and the Farmer's Market. Ms.
Holzschuh felt there is a need to educate the community to encourage more
participahon and visitation in the downtown area, but there must also be the realization
that people walking about cannot be impeded. Ms. Holzschuh provided supportive
commentaries on the addition of this service during the summer months, feeling
confident it will be helpful to have this individual available to improve the environment
of the downtown area. She urged the Council to give positive consideration to the
proposal.
Following discussion, Councilman Braun moved to authorize the Police
Department to implement the "Summertime Downtown Parking
Enforcement/Community Service Officer Program Proposal", which will allow
for the currentpart time Parking Enforcement Officer to be assigned aI afulltime
Community Service Officer in the downtown area from June 3, 2003 through
September 30, 2003. The motion, which was seconded by Councilman Williams,
carried unanimously.
2. Change Order No. 7, Carnegie Library Revitalization, Project 97-08:
Director Cutler reported that the Carnegie Library project is going well; structural
modifications are underway, and the project is on budget. At the time the contract was
awarded, only the base bid was pursued pending additional funding sources. In that
funding has been acquired, it is now possible to proceed with the seven alternates that
were held in abeyance. Director Cutler advised the Council that $298,000 from Save
America's Treasures has been secured, a grant from the State in the amount of
$112,000 is pending, and the Walkling Trust has comnUtted to $50,000 for the project.
Director Cutler noted that the $112,000 from the State is pending the Governor's
signature on the funding legislation, which will hopefully occur before June 30. The
recommendation before the Council is to authorize the City Manager to sign ~he
appropriate Change Order to accommodate the seven altemates~ so that authorization
can occur before July I but after the Governor signs the legislation. Director Cutler
indicated the July 1 authorization is critical, as the contractor's price will be held firm
only until that date.
Discussion followed, with Director Cutler providing clarification concerning the State
funds that are pending. In addition, Councilmember Rogers reminded the Council that
General Fund monies had been set aside for this project and, if unused, she would like
to see the funds returned. Manager Quinn explained that he had been negotiating with
the Historical Society for a lease of the Carnegie Library; the lease is still under review
and needs to be forwarded to the City Attorney's office as well. Lengthy discussion
followed concerning the expenditure &the additional funds for the Carnegie Library,
and Councilmember Erickson moved to approve and authorize the City Manager
to sign Contract Change Order No. 7 in the amount of $148,607.29, upon
receiving grant money from Washington State which is contingent upon the
passage of legislation to be signed by the Governor in the amount of $112,000.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Williams and carried unanimously.
3. Award Contract, Fifth & Race Street Signal, Project Ol-lO:
Director Cutler reviewed the recommended award of the Fifth & Race Street Signal
project to Olympic Electric, and Councilman Williams inquired as to the impacts from
Ennis & Liberty to Cherry Street. Deputy Director of Engineering Services Kenworthy
explained that part of what is driving this project is an increase in traffic on Fifth Street,
and one of the changes to be incorporated will be a stop at Chambers so that Fifth
Street traffic moves through. There will be signal phasing changes made in order to
assure that the traffic isn't backed up. Discussion followed, after which Councilman

motion, which carried unanimously.
4. Water Utility Materials.-
Director Cutler presented for consideration the award of two bids for Water Utility
Materials. Councilman Campbell moved to authorize Public Works & Utilities
personnel to purchase Schedule A items from H.D. Fowler and Schedule B items
from Familian N.W. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Erickson.
Discussion ensued, and Director Cutler informed the Council that the City would be
conducting research into the possibility of purchasing more from Familian N.W. in
view of the fact they are on State contract. A vote was taken onthe motion, which
carried unanimously.
Returning to the Fifth & Race signal, Councilman Williams inquired as to whether
there would be any Bonneville rebates for the signal, and Deputy Director Kenworthy
responded he was uncertain as to that specific rebate, but the City is taking advantage
of all possible funding opportunities.
1. Erickson Park Dream Playground:
Recreation Manager Cole advised the Council that the Dream Playground has far
exceeded expectations in spite of the fact it isn't quite complete. There is a need to
make the park ADA accessible and to estabhsh a means by which the many volunteers
can be honored. The Entry Gateway being proposed this evening was presented to the
Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission and received unanimous approval.
Messrs. Steve Methner and Hank Gibson were present to submit the proposal for
Council consideration. Aided by PowerPoint slides, the two gentlemen showed
depictions of the entry with a plaque honoring volunteers, a 16' totem pole,a display
of hand files made by the children, pavers for route movement, picnic tables and
benches, as well as added landscaping. They indicated they are building funds in order
to have sufficient means to rebuild the park when it becomes necessary. Questions
followed, and Messrs. Methner and Gibson provided clarification in that the budget for
this portion of the project is $20,000; in addition, maintenance will also be provided
by the foundation that was formulated for this specific park project.
Councilman Campbell moved to approve the plan for construction of an "Entry
Gateway" to the Dream Playground at Erickson Park. Councilmember Rogers
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
2. Harbor Sail Cruises from City Pier Moorage Floats:
Recreation Manager Cole presented background information on the proposal for
Seventh Wave Yacht Charters to utilize City Pier moorage in order to conduct harbor
cruises. He introduced Mr. Michael Swirski, 206 Rainview Lane, Sequim, who related
to the Council his proposal, personal background, and details pertinent to the cruises
to be conducted daily at 10:00, 1:00, 4:00, and 7:00. The Pier would be used only for
loading and unloading passengers, and a kiosk will be stationed at the Red Lion for
ticket sales. At this time, Mr. Swirski is planning to use the Pier during the summer
season, but he noted the harbor cruises could be a year-round activity. It was noted that
State approval must be granted in view of grant funds used for the construction of the
City Pier, but Manager Quinn indicated a precedent has been set with regard to City
Pier usage, especially as relates to public use of the Pier. Recreation Manager Cole
indicated the State has been cooperative in the past, and he was certain there would be

volunteers.
Councilman Campbell reported on the recent meeting of the Lodging Tax AdvisorY
Committee, at which time a proposal was considered to reallocate some of the
conference center funds for advertising in the interest of increhsing tourism. Some
Lodging Tax Committee members challenged the composition of the comrmttee, as
well as voting privileges of the Council representatives. At this time, the funding plan
for the conference center will remain in place. Councilmember Rogers referenced
comments submitted at that meeting by John Platt of the Best Western Olympic Lodge
on the matter of a program he would share with the others on retaining customers. She
learned there is no formal program in that regard, and she expects that a
recommendation will be brought forward on using conference center funds for
advertising.
Manager Quirm referenced the City Council calendar, noting Governor Locke's visit
scheduled for June 12. The next City Council meeting will be held on Monday, June
16, to be followed by the AWC Conference June 18 - 20. The Finance comrmttee will
meet at 3:00 p.m. on June 24.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
Summary: The City is being requested to participate in the annual Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Event that is sponsored by Clallam County Environmental Health and the Department of
Ecology (DOE). DOE pays 75% of the costs and Clallam County bills the balance of the cost
according to participation percentages. The Solid Waste Division budget includes funds to cover
the anticipated City share.
Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor to sign the 2003 agreement with Clallam County to
provide a maximum of $5,000 toward the cost of the Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Event.
Background/Analysis: Clallam County sponsors the above referenced collection days with
supplemental funding from DOE. The event is scheduled for September 26 and 27, Friday and
Saturday, at the Wal-Mart parking lot. Grant funding from DOE pays 75% of the total costs of the
event, which costs approximately $50,000. The City share of the balance historically has been
approximately 33% of the households bringing hazardous waste to the event.
Clallam County Environmental Health has requested our participation in this event in an amount not
to exceed $5,000 for in-kind services and/or cash. In 2002 the Cityreceived credit for $1,586 of in-
kind services and paid $3,154 in cash for a total cost of $4,740. The Solid Waste Division budget
includes funds for this annual event.

CITY COUNCIL ~
MARC CONNELI./C/DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION TO THE FEDERAL BUREAU
MANAGEMENT FOR CHANGE OF USE OF LINCOLN PARK PROPERTY
OF LAND
Summary: Attached (exhibit A) is a resolution to authorize staffto proceed with an application
to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to change the use of 17.5 acres of Lincoln Park
Property from recreational use to aviation use. Following application for change in use and
subsequent approval by BLM, the City would then declare the property surplus and sell the
property to the Port of Port Angeles. The Real Estate Committee reviewed and unanimously
recommended approval of the resolution at their meeting held on Monday, June 9th, 2003.
Recommendation: That the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing staff to
make application to BLM for a change in use and eventual title transfer of 17.5 acres of Lincoln
Park property adjacent to Fairchild International Airport.
Backqround / Analysis: Attached (exhibit B) is a map of the subject property. On March 30,
1904 the federal government granted to the City of Port Angeles approximately 150 of property
now known as Lincoln Park for park purposes. For years the site in question was used for a
number of different activities including parking and baseball practices. FAA concerns regarding
safety prompted airport and city officials to close the area for public access. In the meantime
(1995-96), Jeff Robb, Airport Manager for the Port of Port Angeles, along with City staff from
Public Works and Parks and Recreation have been working with BLM to eventually transfer the
property to Port ownership with compensation to the City for the loss of recreational land.
Also included in this report (exhibit C) is a letter I have sent to Mr. Robb detailing the steps that
the City and the Port will take to complete the transfer of the property. The letter also references
the two appraisals performed to establish a value for the property. I have reviewed both
appraisals and concur that $52,500 fairly represents the value of the property and would
compensate the City for the loss of prime recreational property. These funds could be used to
make substantial recreation facility improvements to Lincoln Park.

RE: Sale ol;Property
Dear Jeff:
I enjoyed meeting with you on May 13th to discuss the stares of the land acquisition from
the City of Port Angeles. The 17.5 - - acres of land is located west of "L" Street
between Lauridsen Blvd and 18th Street.
The City recognizes the need for the Port of Port Angeles to acqmre this property from
the City of Port Angeles to meet Federal Aviation safety standards for rUnway safety
areas. The City also notes that the change in use of this property as a result of the sale
represents a significant loss of recreational land originally available to the citizens of Port
_Angeles. Accordingly, the Port and the City have sought to establish the value of the
prOperty in an effort to make the City whole following the change of use and the ultimate
tratisfer 0fthe property tO Port ownership. As a consequence the Port of Port Angeles
hadan appraisal of the property performed by Bruce C. Allen and Associates and a
subseqt~nt ~:evlew appraisal completed by Gustafson and Associates. The City has
reviewed both documents and is satisfied that they fairly represent the value of the
~u"bj ect property in the amount of $52,500.
You andI currently understand that the Ci[y and the Port will accomplish the following
to complete the transaction:
The City will:
1. Provide a resolution from the Port Angeles City Council to the Bureau of Land
Management authorizing the filing of a request by the City for a Change of Use
mud Transfer of Title to the Port of Port Angeles.
· 2: File application to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for a Change of Use and
-Tire Transfer.
· 3. SubSequent to approval from BJ2M the City would conduct a public hearing and
declare the property surplus pursuant to State law and City ordinance.

4. Prepare a purchase and sales agreement for transfer of the subject property from
the City to the Port.
The Port will:
1. Pay the City of Port 2M~geles $52,500 in consideration for conveying the subject
property plus standard closing costs.
2. Pay for studies as may be required to meet the National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966 and other applicable cultural and historic preservation laws.
3. Pay any fees associated with BLM changing the patent of subject property.
4. Use the property m meet safety and standards as required by the Federal Aviation
Administration.
As we discussed the funds paid to the City from the Port for the sale of this recreational
property will be utilized to replace its loss. We appreciate your on-going effort to ensure
the City of Port Angeles receives fair market value for this loss, as was the agreement
when the City agreed to allow the Port to begin using it for aviation safety purposes. I
hope this Cbr~ectly captures our discussion and may serve as our mutual understanding.

Port Angeles, Washington 98362
Dear Board Members
During the past two years, the City has been an active participant, together with hundreds of City and County
residents ~md businesses, in the forging of a "industry and business cluster-based" economic development plan
and implementation strategy that specifically identified the development of business opportunities associated with
technology, marine, forest products, aviation, education, tourism; and agriculture industries. Together with our
fellow EDC board members, we have worked hard to complete Phases 1 and 2 of the Clallam Networks Plan, and
most recently voted with the EDC Board in favor of entering Phase 3, the implementation of the initiatives
developed by citizens and businesses working through the Clallm Networks Industry Cluster teams.
Parallel to the work being accomplished by the cluster teams has been two additional aspects of the Clallam
Networks effort that the City of Port Angeles has paid serious attention to, the development, implementation and
funding strategy of the finance facility, and the implementation of the core business incubator and skills center.
We believe that these two elements are pivotal to the success of Clallam Networks; and that significant initial
funding is necessary to accomplish their successful, self-sustaining implementation.
The City of Port Angeles has always been a significant supporter of the Clallam County Economic Development
Council, and has aggressively participated toward the diligent and determined pursuit of economic development
goals for our region. In an effort to minimize and leverage the local area investment that will be necessary to
launch the finance facility and incubator programs, City representatives have worked closely with the EDC to
· attract the outside financial investment interest of the Northwest Area Foundation (NWAF). Recently, we learned
that the NWAF invited the EDC to develop and submit the funding proposal we had been discussing with them
since last year. The proposal, which we understand will come as no surprise to NWAF decision makers, could
result in a significant, multi-year contribution towards operational elements of Clallam Networks that we do not
feel could otherwise be funded either locally or through any State or Federal granting source. If the proposal is
accepted, we would have additional time to finalize a contract with secure commitments.
In an effort to secure the subject grant from NWAF, we have learned that a show of leadership and initial financial
commitment is necessary. As such, I have spoken with members of the City Council and feel confident that the
City of Port Angeles can step to the plate in an effort to leverage this opportunity for Port Angeles and our EDC
partners. Because of our involvement in Clallam Networks to date, we understand the value of securing the
support of the NWAF, and encourage each of you to support the current proposal on behalf of the EDC.

2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Summary: The City was mandated under the Growth Management Act to review its
Comprehensive Plan every ten years, which the State Legislature last year changed tb every seven
years with the Port Angeles first update due by 2004. The City started a three-year phased review
in 2002, and these latest Comp Plan Amendments are being completed as the second phase, which
focus on the east side of Port Angeles. Thirteen amendments and several land use map changes are
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. The title of the proposed ordinance
(Attachment A) stmunarizes the amendments. An alternate ordinance (Attachment B) allowing for
extending the western Port Angeles Urban Growth Area following the same logic for extending the
eastern UGA has been provided for the Council's consideration of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe's
request. This late request has caused confusion with State and County reviews oftbe City's Comp
Plan Amendments and was not supported by the majority of the Planning Commissi.on until more
time for public review can be made available. As a result of these concerns, Tribe staff indicated
that action on their request could be delayed, until government-to-government meetings take place.
Recommendation: Following close of the public heating, it is recommended that the City
Council adopt the Ordinance (Attachment A) as read by title.
Background / Analysis:
Last year the City approved the first phase of the Port Angeles Comprehensive Plan update
required under the Growth Management Act. That phase focused on the Downtown and Harbor
Planning Area. This second phase focuses on the east side Planning Area of the City, and for a
second year delays consideration of any land use changes for the Rayonier millsite, until the cleanup
plan is finalized. The third phase next year is scheduled to update west side Planning Areas. The
City has until December 2004 to complete the mandated GMA update of its Comp Plan, and we are
on schedule.
Under the Growth Management Act, the City may amendment its Comprehensive Plan no
more often than once per year. Per City Ordinance, Comp Plan amendments must be submitted by
March 31st and acted on by the City Council in June. The reasoning for the once-a-year time
limitations rests on the long range perspective of the Comprehensive Plan, which under GMA is not
suppose to change for short term, site specific development pressures.

Most of the 2003 Comp Plan Amendments have not generated much controversy as policy
decisions. Items such as the extension of the eastern UGA, newlow impact development standards,
and servicing and annexing areas outside the City limits have been supported by previous Council
actions, which are being clarified in the proposed amendments as Comprehensive Plan goals,
policies, objectives, and map changes. The State has commented on concerns regarding the
establishment ora lower density zone (Residential Single Family, RS-12, with minimum lot sizes
of less 4 units per acre) and the late extension of the western UGA. Although the County supports
the RS-12 objective, they also have concerns with the western UGA expansion without more time
for public review. City staff has worked with the State's Community, Trade, and Economic
Development (CTED) staff to alleviate concerns about the RS-12 (3.63 units per acre) zoning
objective and concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission to allow for more time
before making a decision about the LEKT's request for extension of the western PAUGA boundary
along US 101 commereial/industrial zones. Thc Tribe staffhas indicated~ that more time can be
taken to work with the City and the County before any action is necessarg, Regardless bf which
version of the Ordinance is adopted by the City Council, it is expected that th, County will not act
on any extension of the City's UGA until 2004, when they have scheduled theft Comprehensive Plan
update process. Accordingly, the State's and the County's concerns have been addressed with the
Attachment A version of CPA Ordinance, and the City Council should adopt one of the attached
ordinances, following the close of the public hearing.
Staff will be available for questions.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MAP AMENDMENTS 2003
Director Collins and Associate Planner Johns explained the materials that had been
handed out to the Commissioners and the current status of the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments. The schedule for long range planning and subjects for future Commission
meetings was introduced and discussed.
Carol Brown, 1628 W. 7~h Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362, Community Development
Program Manager for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe addressed the Commission and asked
them to consider adding language to the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment to extend the
Urban Growth Area to the east to also extend the UGA to the west such that the Tribe's health
care center would be included in the UGA. She explained that by being included in the UGA,
the Tribe could begin work on a utility plan with the City which would allow them to expand the
facility. Director Collins pointed out that the proposed area would include the Crown Pacific
Mill on Highway 101.
Commission members requested that the proposed area be more clearly identified.
Director Collins said that staff would create a concise description based on County zoning areas.
Commissioner Schramm moved to continue the public hearing to the May 28, 2003,
Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Rasmussen seconded the motion which
passed 4- 0.
REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS
Commissioner Schramm asked what incentives are offered to County residents who
would be in an expanded UGA. Director Collins said that by being in the UGA, the City has
input into planning issues and that City standards for development would be instituted. He also
pointed out that the City could not unilaterally extend the UGA, but would need the County's
approval to do so. Even if the area is in the UGA, County Codes for such things as noise
abatement, nuisances, etc. would stay in effect.

Excerpt of the Planning Commission Minutes of May 28, 2003
CONTINUED PUBL1C HEARING:
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MAP AMENDMENTS 2003' Continued
from May 14, 2003.
Director Collins began by pointing out that language requested by the Lower El~vha Klallam
Tribe to expand the western UGA had been incorporated into the wording of the proposed
amendment #1 to increase the eastern UGA. He told the Commissioners that the City is working
with the County and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe regarding the proposed extension of the
western UGA to include the Tribe's Health clinic. He stated that the City and the Tribe could
_jointly approach the County with the proposal prior to the County's December 31, 2003 deadline
for proposed amendments and use the same justification for including the area in the UGA, since
it is the County that will make the decision to modify the UGA. He also told the Commission
that the public notice had been revised and reposted to reflect the change in the City Council
meeting date from June 3, to June 2, 2003, and also included the language regarding the
extension of the western UGA.
Director Collins pointed out the addition of the language listed as #9b in the summary of
amendments had been added to the proposed amendments at the request of the Fire Department
so that the Comprehensive Plan and the newly adopted development standards were consistent
with each other.
Regarding the proposed addition of a new RS-t 2 zone, Director Collins indicated that concerns
of the State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development have been resolved
by the criteria staffdeve]oped for designating the new zone. That set of criteria is included in the
Commission's packet.
Commissioner Pittis asked for clarification of the terms should, may, and shall. Director Collins
indicated that should is more discretionary than shall, which is directive and mandatory.
Commissioner Norton asked if the word should obligated the City to a particular action. Director
Collins said that it would not obligate the City. The words "should" and "may" are about the
same, and the word will is a future verb that does commit the City to an action.
Chair Nutter indicated that those who intend to testify must sign the "Sign In" log and affirm that
their testimony will be truthful to the best of their knowledge prior to testifying before the
Commission. Chair Nutter then reopened the public hearing.
Gerry Mangano, 3924 Bean Road, Port Angeles, WA, stated that he is a resident in the
western UGA but that he does not know exactly what that means and asked if lhere is
information available to help him understand. He stated that he had asked specific questions and
Planning Commission Minutes
Ma), 28. 2003
Page 2
gotten answers but that a more general understanding would be helpful to him.
Director C}ollins responded that the language for urban growth areas (UGA) is contained in the
State Growth Management Act and that the best local document would be the County-wide
Planning Policies document. He went on to say that in the UGA, County rules apply, but the City
has input into planning decisions and City standards would be used for roads, sewer, and water,
and that areas in the UGA could be annexed but areas outside of the UGA cannot be annexed.
Commissioner Schramm stated that different roles apply in the County and in the UGA and
asked if the City shouldn't take a more active lead with the County in making rule changes. He
pointed out thal this might give citizens more incentive to desire inclusion in the UGA. Director
Collins stated that the City has responded to citizen issues in the County and pointed out success
in supporting an abandoned car ordinance.
Chair Nutter asked if the proposed RS-12 zone would be only in the City or also in the UGA.
Director Collins said that the zone would be in both areas and that it was intended to allow a
lower density in the UGA after annexation and that a concern of the Bay Loop area residents had
been that a higher density standard would be the result of annexation.
There being no further testimony, Chair Nutter closed the public hearing.
Chair Nutter requested that in the future when staff creates maps, that the maps include bike
routes when transportation issues are included.
Commissioner Pittis asked for clarification of the language of proposed amendment #8 regarding
the phrase "safer more attractive streets" and if that implies that our streets are not safe and
attractive. He also questioned whether the proposed reduced street standards would make streets
safer or more attractive, stating that he had seen no evidence to support the claim. Discussion
followed and revised language was agreed upon.
Commissioner Hewins recalled that the Planning Commission had recommended that at some
point the commercial area along First and Front Streets should be expanded and thought that the
same recommendation had been made regarding the area of Eighth and Lincoln Streets.
Commissioner Schramm stated that the same issue had been raised about the Race Street
corridor. Discussion followed regarding the approprialeness of including those changes at this
time. Director Collins stated that the City Council does not wish to support further
commercialization of the Race Street corridor based on a recent rezone decision. Chair Nutter
indicated that the Commission should revisit the Race Street issue at a later time. Director
Collins pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan Map included an imprecise margin along the
south side of the 8/9 alley extending beyond the north side of 9~h Street so that commercial uses
could be permitted consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Map.

Planning Commission Plin utes

Chair Nutter asked for clarification of the terms used in the criteria for designating the RS-12
zone, specifically "affected by an environmentally sensitive area." Director Collins said that the
ESA would not have to be on the property but may have an effect on the property such as a
marine bluff that provides a view to a property that is not adjacent to the bluff. Chair Nutter
asked if the City would be using the County standards for wetlands when making the RS-12
'determination. Director Collins said that the City is working with the County to revise the City's
wetland ordinance but that the City will maintain a smaller size standard than the County for
determining wetland classifications.
Chair Nutter asked the Commissioners for an opinion as to whether expansion of the western
UGA should be kept in the amendment language or removed. Director Collins pointed out that
staffhad acted on comments received during the public hearing and that the Commission has
discretion on the issue. He also said that the City, County and Tribe have been co, nferring on the
matter and that failure of the septic system at the Tribal Health Center is motivating the action to
take place sooner. Commissioner Hewins said he is inclined to not include the issue now, but to
wait until next year's Comprehensive Plan Amendment period. Commissioner Schramm said
that he has mixed feelings about including the issue this year. He sees the economic
development benefits but due to the timing and lack of citizen input he felt the matter perhaps
could wait. Commissioner Pittis said that he thought that procedural due process had been met
on the UGA expansion but questioned whether due process has been satisfied on the Race Street
or Eighth and Lincoln Street issues. Those items should be a separate agenda item.
Chair Nutter agreed, saying that more study needs to be done on the Race Street issue. She also
said that her feeling is to not include the western UGA expansion. Commissioner Hewins asked
how the Planning Corm-nission should proceed on including the expansion of the commercial
designation at Eighth and Lincoln Streets. Director Collins indicated that the issue could be
included because the Planning Commission had discussed the issue at prior meetings.
Commissioner Hewins said that the whole block from Eighth to Ninth Streets on the east side of
Lincoln should be included. Director Collins statcd that the imprecise margin between the
Commercial designation and the Low Density Residential designation could be extended toward
Ninth Street. Chair Nutter said that such a change would impact the nearby residential areas.
Chair Nutter polled the Commissioners regarding the inclusion of issues in the proposed
amendments. The majority of Commission members indicated their wish to not include the
expansion of the western UGA, to not include changes to the Race Street corridor, and to include
the proposed expansion of the Commercial designation south of the 8/9 alley. Changes to the
language regarding "safer more attractive" streets as discussed were agreed upon.
Commissioner Hewins moved to forward a recommendation for approval of the proposed
Comprehensive Plan amendments 1o the City Council with modifications to the language of
#8 and including adjustment of the Commercial designation at the corner of Eighth and
Lincoln Street as follows:

Re: Comments on Low Impact Development Standards
Dear Brad:
I've had a chance to review your proposed Low Impact Development Standards and related ordinance
changes. I also reviewed the actual road standards with folks in the Public Works Department.
Overall, I believe what is proposed will be effective in responding to concerns regarding development
and infrastructure costs. As you outlined in your memo of April 29, the proposed standards will also promote
added consistency to the transition from rural to urban areas in the Port Angeles area.
As we reviewed last Friday, there are some minor differences between current County and proposed
City road standards. However, the general intent is certainly needed in the direction of creating a more
appropriate transitional standard between full urban City and rural County.
Clallam County is also suppodive of your efforts to create a larger lot, suburban zone district (RS-12)
that is more reflective of the lot size and land use character of some of the outlying properties in the City. As
you consider actual development standards for these areas, it would be good to clarify whether the proposed
standards (fire flow, etc.) will only apply to new subdivisions, or ~,hether they will be retroactive to existing lots
that may be rezoned. As an example, the current language on fire standards does not make this distinction~
I hope these comments are helpful in your deliberations, and we appreciate the opportunity to work with
you on this issue.
Sincerely,

Subject: Comments on Proposed Comp Plan Amendments; Planning Comm 5/28
Sue/Brad.: Several comments relating to the Comp Plan amendments that I
understand are on the PC agenda for the 28th.(by the way, I don't have an
agenda yet).
First, I think you might want to take a careful look at the proposed
language for #1 dealing with the eastern UGA...the description of the area
doesn't read so it makes sense ....
Second, it might be useful to consider language in #10 that includes the
County in any discussion/efforts on beautification/streetscape improvements
to the entryway corridors...they come through the UGA._it might add
strength to any joint grant or other funding we pursue for these areas.
Something like" In conjunction with Clallam County, the city...."
Third, I understand that the Planning Commision may entertain a request from
the Lower Elwha tribe for a comp plan/UGA boundary change on the west side
of the City. I'm not quite sure how this gets added to the current batch
for review this year without public process and notification (isn't the
deadline 3/317), but 1 am requesting a copy of the map, application and
staff report as soon as they are available so that the County can review
this request.
The county will be submitting formal comments to the Council prior to the
6/2/03 public hearing.
Thank you...AndyM.

Dear Ms. Nutter:
Thank you for sending the Washinglon State Department of Community, Trade and Economic
Development (CTED) your draft 2003 comprehensive plan amendments for the City of Port Angeles.
We appreciate the significant time, energy, and resources this document represents. We received your
transmittal on April 14, 2003. We have the following comments on your draft amendments.
We especially like the following:
Amendment adding new "LID" Goal E; to Capital Facilities Element
Tile proposed amendment indicates that the city will work 1o reduce the amount of impervious surface
created by new developments, using Low Impact Development design, as well as create safer and
more attractive streets through improved street edge landscaping, traffic calming, and pedestrian
amenities. This new goal will also serve to reduce costs to the city of managing stormwater runoff.
Amendment adding new Policies 12. & 13. to Utilities and Public Services Element, Goal D
We commend the city for proposing these policies that ensure Port Angeles provides sanitary sewer
service to urban development and limiled inlensive rural development, and constructs adequately sized
urban facilities within the Urban Growth Area (UGA) to accommodate future urban growth, without
serving geueral rural development outside the UGA.
Amendment adding new objectives improving Entry Corridors -
Economic Development Element Goal B, and Conservation Element Goal A
We agree that encouraging streetscape improvements and considering incentives to solicit private
participation in such improvements will provide for more attractive entrances to the city, improving
the attractiveness of the city to tourists, travelers, and the community as a whole.

Ms. Linda Nutter

We have the following concern that should be addressed before adopting the plan amendment:
Amendme"nt adding new Policy I to Goal E. of Capital Facilities Element
RCW 36.70A. 110(3) requires that urban growth occur first in areas where adequate facilities and
services already exist and second itl areas where they already exist or can be provided through phased
growth within UGAs. It is unclear how adding the underlined language in the proposed policy, "that
more nearly reflect the needs of suburban densilies and conditions in outlying undeveloped areas in
the City and the UGA", would help facilitate this. To ensure that growth occurs in an orderly manner,
your Capital Facilities Element should consider the long-range costs of development as a whole over
time, as well as the shorl-term costs of development of any single lot. The proposed change may
increase the overall community costs of development if those parcels that were allowed to develop
without any sewer connection requirement do not share eventual sewer extension costs.
Develop~nent densities lower than four du/acre in urban areas are more difficult to reconcile with the
goals of the GMA. Typically this density occurs as a means of protecting critical areas, which appears
to be the case in the areas proposed for reduced density development. In making a designation that is
less than four du/acre, the record should show that:
· Conditions, such as the presence of critical areas, preclude achieving higher densities.
· Measures other than large lot zoning have been considered and determined to be unfeasible.
· The extent of larger lots only covers that area necessary for the protection of the critical area, and
is an exception, not the predominant pattern.
· Low densities do not interfere with the city's ability to accommodate its allocated growth.
· Low densities do not interfere with the cost-effective provision of urban services.
The GMA envisions that urban growth should first be located in areas already characterized by urban
growth and served by adequate facilities; then in areas characterized by growth that can be served with
a combination of existing facilities and new facilities, and then in the remainder of the UGA [see
RCW 36.70A.110(3)]. If extension of urban services is not currently practical throughout the UGA,
outer areas should be developed in a manner that facililates achieving future urban densities.
Tools for phasing urban growth in a UGA include:
· Using short-term and long-term UGAs.
· Zoning land on tile outer edge of the UGA at rural densities (five acre minimum lot sizes) until
urban services can be exteoded.
· Requiring minimum densities for subdivisions of at least four du/acre. All parcels do not need to
be developed at the lime of subdivision, but they should be platted. The development should be
placed in an appropriate manner and allowances for future infrastruclure should be made so that
fi~ture urban deusities will not be precluded.
· Using concurrency requirements to channel growth to areas served by existing urban services.

Ms. Linda Nutter

We have the following suggestion to improve the comprehensive plan amendments:
Amendment adding new objective 1. to Goal C. of Land Use Element
The proposed amendment adds a new Residential RS-12 zone with minimum lot sizes of 12,000
square feet to create large lot, suburban character neighborhoods. While such development may fit the
existing character of outlying areas of the city and the UGA, it appears contrary to Goals I and 2 of the
Growth Management Act (GMA), without some understanding of the existing context and building
limitations of these areas. We recommend that the city strictly limit such areas and include in the
record the basis for allowing such suburban style development within the city and the UGA.
As a general rule, urban growth areas adjacent to the city that are needed to accommodate the city's
20-year population allocation (and that will eventually be served with urban services provided by the
city) should be developed at urban densities and should eventually become part of the city through
annexation.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your draft amendments. Congratulations to you and
your stafffor the good work your draft comprehensive plan amendments embody. If you have any
questions or concerns about our comments or any other growth management issues, please call me at
(360) 725-3046. We extend our continued support to the City of Port Angeles in achieving the goals
of growth management.

RE: Comp Plan amendments
Scott,
I reviewed the attached list of reasons for the city considering a western
UGA added onto the proposed comprehensive plan amendments for this year's
plan update. As we discussed on the phone yesterday, there are several
potential procedural problems with adding such a significant plan amendment
to this year's proposed list at this late date. When we attended the
multi-agency government to government meeting at the Lower EIwha tribal
reservation on May 19, we did discuss the various approaches of addressing
the tribe's need for sanitary sewer service, but we did not think that the
step of adding a Western UGA was necessary at this time, nor did the parties
present decide that the best approach was to add a western UGA to the city
for this project.
Andy Meyer of Clallam County was going to review the county planning
policies to ensure there was no impediments to the proposed idea of routing
a sanitary sewer force main through the county between the city and the
tribal reservation. This force main would not serve the in between rural
areas in the county, unless needed to address a health emergency. The
driver is the need to serve those properties likely to be impacted by rising
water tables in the floodplain area once the Elwha River dams are removed.
The date for that dam removal is projected to be some time in 2007.
We would recommend the city and the county not process a western UGA as a
comprehensive plan amendment at this time. We do recommend the city pursue
an intedocal agreement with the tribe (and perhaps the county) to address
your needs for implementing this sanitary sewer project. If the city
intends to pursue a western UGA, I would encourage you to dialogue with the
county planning staff in advance and encourage public participation of the
affected local residents in both the county area and the city.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. If you have any
questions please contact me.

We have been asked by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe to include some
additional areas in the expansion of the UGA. The Tribe's Health Center has
a failing septic system and plans are in the process to extend the sewer to
the Tribal lands as part of the mitigation for the removal of the Elwha dam.
I will attach a short list of reasons to include the area in the UGA and a
brief summary of justifications for the RS-12 zone proposal. I will fax a
City map showing the three areas that are being considered for RS-12. I
hope that the map is legible in B&W. Let me know if it isn't.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MAP AMENDMENTS 2003
Director Collins and Associate Planner Johns explained the materials that had been
handed out to the Commissioners and the current status of the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments. The schedule for long range planning and subjects for future Conunission
meetings was introduced and discussed.
Carol Brown, 1628 W. 7~h Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362, Community Development
Program Manager for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe addressed the Commission and asked
them to consider adding language to the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment to extend the
Urban Growth Area to the east to also extend the UGA to the west such that the Tribe's health
care center would be included in the UGA. She explained that by being included in the UGA,
the Tribe could begin work on a utility plan with the City which would allow them to expand the
facility. Director Collins pointed out that the proposed area would include the Crown Pacific
Mill on Highway 101.
Commission members requested that the proposed area be more clearly identified.
Director Collins said that staff would create a concise description based on County zoning areas.
Commissioner Schramm moved to continue the public hearing to the May 28, 2003,
Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Rasmussen seconded the motion which
passed 4- 0.'

During the last Planning Commission meeting the Tribe submitted "place
holder" language during the publice hearing on "City of PA Comprehensive
Plan Amendment Application" to include HWY 101 Corridor west of Reddick
Road in City Proposal #1.. This UGA would include commercially zoned
parcels up to and including the Manke Log Yard (purchased by the Tribe
November 2002),
Steve, Before we spend energy and time on a UGA amendment that may be
politically difficult, we need to know about the nearest point of
connection to and size of your waste water collection line in the
vicintiy of Fairmount. /w~.f
I believe the public hearing was continued to.M-aTC/l' 28 when more
commission people would be available to consider the request. Brad, is
that date correct?

The State of Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development
commented on the draft 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendments submitted by the City of
Pon Angeles. The following is in response to those comments.
Comment 4, Re: Proposed amendment to add RS-12 zone.
1. Areas in the City that will receive the RS-12 zone designation are located in areas
that contain Environmentally Sensitive Areas such as the marine bluffs on the west
side of the City, and wetlands, ravines and streams on the south and east edges of the
City. These are areas the City would rather have develop at somewhat lower
densities. (See attached map). By allowing lot sizes larger than the typical 7,000 or
9,000 SF townsite size lots, it is hoped that development within the City limits can
be encouraged. By encouraging more development within the City, the cost of
providing services to areas where services do not currently exist can be reduced by
spreading the costs between more individuals.
Other areas that will receive the RS-12 zoning designation are located in the UGA
and are currently zoned under Clallam County Code. The existing County zoning
allows a density of 2 DU/acre, where the proposed RS-12 zoning would increase the
density to over 3.6 DU/acre. Much of the resistance to annexation in the UGA has
come from residents that fear the loss of their ability to maintain larger lots. By
providing some assurance that larger lots will be allowed in the UGA after it is
annexed, it is anticipated that resistance to annexation may be reduced.

E-MAIL: PLANNING~Cf PORT-ANGEL~ ..~0~ ~MITS~CI PORT ANGELES WA.US
Port Angeles has not been experiencing new subdivisions in the less-developed
fringe areas of the City in the recent past. Growlh has been relatively stagnant.
Areas m the UGA and in the County are receiwng applications for subdivisions at a
faster rate and those subdivisions are occurring at densities lower than the
recommended 4 DU/acre for the efficient provision of urban services. By zoning at
a higher density, the UGA will more closely resemble the urban densities desired by
the City at the time when annexation can occur. Closing the gap between the lowest
City density and the highest County density will make the City more competitive for
development.
Comment 5, Re: Proposed amendment to revise existing development standards to more
nearly reflect needs of UGA and outlying City areas.
The areas of the City that will be designated RS-12 are those areas that currently are
not served by sewer and sewer lines are not available within 200 feet. These areas
have been extremely slow th develop due to this lack of service and the associated
costs to developers. It is anticipated that by allowing development in those areas to
proceed with reduced standards of allowing septic systems, that a critical mass of
development will occur to off-set the costs of future sewer extension. Certain
conditions must apply before a parcel is eligible for a septic system xcthin the City.
Those conditions include; 1 ) parcels must be larger than ½ acre in size; 2) more than
300 feet from existing sewer; 3) cost of iewer extension must be 200% the cost of
the septic system; 4) must meet Clallam County Environmental Health standards for
septic systems; 5) developers w/Il be required to sign a. no-protest agreement to the
formation of a Local Improvement District to fired future sewer extension.
Although the GMA envisions that urban growth should first be located in areas
already characterized by urban growth and served by adequate facilities, it must be
recognized that the PAUGA is not currently served by sanitary sewers. The area is
characterizedby urban, growth but not adequately served with urban servmes. The
City's intent is to provide sanitary sewer to the urbanized portion of the UGAto
address the long term need in the area that will be annexed into the City, and at the
same time, allowing development to occur into the less developed portions of the
City where services do not yel exist. This double pronged approach should help to
balance the rate of growth inside and outside of the City.
Sincerely,
Brad Collins

Brad Collins, Community Development Director
2003 Comprehensive Plan Amendments CED Recommendation
Summary: Thirteen amendments and several land use map changes are recommended fori
approval by the Planning Commission. The title of the proposed ordinance (Attachment A
summarizes the amendments. The Community & Economic Development Committee of the Cit~
o
Council reviewed the Comp Plan Amendments, including a request from the Lower Elwha Klallan
Tribe for extension of the western Port Angeles Urban Growth Area. The CED Committee
recommends a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the City Council to discuss the 2003
Comp Plan Amendments before the City Council takes action. The Port Angeles Municipal Code
)rovides for adoption of annual amendments of the Comprehensive Plan in June.
Recommendation: Following close of the public heating, it is recommended that the City
Council schedule a joint meeting on June 25, 2003, at 5:30 pm with the Planning Commission
before adopting the Ordinance (Attachment A) as read by title.
Background / Analysis:
Following thc Planning Commission's recommendation and the City Council Community
& Economic Development Committee's recommendation, an alternative ordinance (Attachment B)
extending the western UGA was withdrawn from the Council's June 16t~ packet. Since it has been
the Council's desire to hold a joint Planning Commission/City Council meeting in 2003, the CED
Committee felt that the Comp Plan issues were a timely and good opportunity for such a meeting.
The Community & Economic Development Committee recommends that the following
Comp Plan issues be discussed:
1. Extension of the western urban growth area boundary
2. Clarification of the description of the eastern urban growth area boundary
3. Clarification of the timing for Clallam County action on UGA extensions
4. Expansion of the City's commercial corridors to full blocks
These policy issues may be addressed by providing directions to staff for future actions rather than
through revisions to the 2003 Comp Plan Amendments. For example, Council could direct staffto
work with the Tribe to reach agreement on urban growth area and sewer extension issues being

resolved together and making application to Clallam County by December in time for the County's
2004 Comp Plan update process. Alternately, the description of the extension of the eastern urban
growth area should allow for no confusion between the map and policy language.
Staffwill be available for questions.

M~or Engine Repairtothe Landfill Compactor
On May 28, 2003 the Landfill Refuse Compactor engine failed. In a review by Equipment
Services and NC Machinery, it was determined that the best solution would be to proceed with a
re-manufactured engine. During the tear down of the equipment it was determined that the
radiator also needed to be replaced due to excessive wear.
C'aterpillar recommends that their heavy equipment engines be rebuilt at or around 10,000 hours.
In October 2001 it was estimated that the Compactor would reach 10,000 hours in 2004. At the
time of failure there were 10,231 hours on the engine. The additional hours are associated with
greater efforts to densify trash, ensuring that the Landfill will last until the projected closure date
in mid to late 2006.
NC Machinery is the local Caterpillar manufacturer's representative and has the specific
expertise and parts availability for performing repairs and maintenance. Due to the emergency
nature of the repairs, and the critical need for the Compactor in Landfill operations, NC
Machinery was directed to install a re-manufactured engine and replace the radiator for a total
cost of $24,707. The alternate solution would have been to call a special session of Council to
authorize repairs or defer action to a regular meeting. Decisive action was critical in minimizing
the downtime of the equipment. Any additional delays would have negatively impacted our
operations.
The Equipment Services budget has sufficient funds to pay for the repairs.

AWC Special Award - Creating Community Partnerships
The Association of Washington Cities (AWC) holds a Municipal Achievements Awards contest
each year. The contest, which is featured at AWC's annual conference later this week, honors a
community's excellence and encourages other cities to develop similar programs that will benefit
their communities. This year's special award focused on partnerships that enhance city services
and encourage others in the community to help in innovative ways. Staff submitted a contest
entry for the unique partnerships the City facilitated to construct and operate a fiber optic
network serving businesses and institutions in Port Angeles.
Several years ago the City established an economic development goal to bring advanced
broadband services to the community at below market prices. In lieu of City development ora
municipally owned and operated fiber optic network, the City facilitated public/private
partnerships that leveraged over $6 million of investment in needed telecommunications
facilities. The partnerships included an agreement with Wave Broadband for construction of a
14-mile fiber optic backbone, an agreement with Capacity Provisioning, Inc. for operation of the
network and construction of 30-miles of last mile fiber optic cable to reach municipal facilities,
and for Olypen, Inc. who is providing the City and other non-profit organizations free Internet
access through the end of 2004. Fast Ethernet services are being provided by Capacity
Provisioning at 1 / 10'h of typical retail charges.
The City will receive a 2® place special award for its innovative partnerships. A total of 40 other
cities submitted special award contest entries.

Marine Fire Pump. The new portable fire pump has arrived. The new pump will be strategically
placed at the waterfront, giving us the capability to fight a marine fire from a small boat. The Port
of Port Angeles has provided $2,500 worth of hose, nozzles and fittings to outfit the pump, all of
which are now on hand. We hope to have the pump in service in July.
Grants. In additional to a $50,000 grant request with FEMA for the purchase of upgrades to our
self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), we are part of a joint Homeland Security grant
application that is being processed through the State. If approved, the Homeland Security grant
would fund some technical rescue equipment and possibly some upgrades to our communications
equipment. Additionally, we have submitted a $20,000 grant request for funds that would help to
enhance our communications capabilities when the antennas on the fire station roof are relocated

Pier Sprlnk]ers. The City Pier fire sprinkler project has been completed - on time and on
budget. The installation went without a hitch and thanks to the assistance' of the Parks
Department, the pier remained open for citizens and visitors throughout the construction period.
Sparky Week. The 68~h Annual Sparky Week was an outstanding success! Thanks to the help of
dedicated fire and police volunteers, as well as career personnel, over 250 second grade students,
teachers, and parents were safely transported to and from school to the fire department in a
vintage fire engine. Once at the Fire Department, the students were treated to a fire prevention
program and then they were given the chance to have a hands-on experience with some
firefighting equipment. This is an enormously successful and popular event.

Certification. Firefighter Kelly Ziegler, Firefighter Kevin Denton, and Firefighter/Paramedic
Jake Patterson all received their Fire Instructor I Certification in May. The Fire Instructor I
Certification requires completion of a 32-hour classroom course, a 16-hour workbook course,
and a passing grade on written and performance tests.
April Drill. On May 21, a very successful multi-agency response drill was conducted at the
airport. The drill testes the response capabilities of local fire, law, emergency medical and
hospital services. Local high school drama students added a touch of patient realism. The drill
went very well and all participants came away with a better understanding of multi-agency
operations.
Hose Evolutions. The first round of standard hose evolution training with all personnel has been
completed. The time results have been compiled and time parameters for departmental
performance standards have been determined. These time standards will now be used to gauge
shift performance.
