Title: Comply with HPA
Wording In addition to Jefferson County permit conditions, the project proponent shall comply with all conditions set forth by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife through Hydraulic Project Approval.

Title: Army Corps Check
Wording Prior to commencing development activity, the proponent is responsible for informing the US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) in order for COE to determine whether a Department of the Army permit or review is required. Generally, review is required for construction and dredging in or around navigable waters of the US and for work or fill in hydrologically connected wetlands. Contact the US Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District Regulatory Branch, PO Box 3755, Seattle WA 98124, (206) 764-3495, for more information.


Case Findings
Below is a list of findings for this permit case. Findings typically record facts that the staff are using as the basis of their permit processing decisions.
Title: F-WETLAND FINDING
Wording Jefferson County mapping indicates that a wetland occurs along the shoreline. Based on a July 31, 2008 Washington Supreme Court decision, Jefferson County cannot regulate those wetlands that occur within shoreline jurisdiction. The proposal involves replacing pilings in the marine environment; therefore, wetlands are not expected to be effected by the proposed project.

Title: F-FWHCA FINDING
Wording The proposed project occurs within a fish and wildlife habitat conservation area. Based on a July 31, 2008 Washington Supreme Court decision, Jefferson County cannot regulate fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas that are within shoreline jurisdiction. The proposal was sent to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife as part of the shoreline noticing of the application. No comments were received from this agency; therefore, it is assumed that the proposal will not adversely affect fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas. However, the proposal occurs within an area mapped by the state as shoreline buffer for bald eagles. The project proponent should contact Shelly Ament at Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (360-681-4276 or amentkma@dfw.wa.gov) to determine if a bald eagle management plan is needed.

Title: F-SHORELINE DESIGNATION FINDING
Wording The shoreline designation at Quatsop Point is suburban. All work will be conducted below the ordinary high water mark, within the aquatic designation.

Title: F-FLOOD PERMIT NEEDED FINDING
Wording The proposal will occur in Hood Canal, in an area that is mapped on the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (Panel 530069 1245 B) as Zone A. The proposed project is subject to the requirement for a flood development permit, which is incorporated into this decision. The proposal meets the definition for development, but not structure, in the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, as codified in Jefferson County Code 15.15.050.

Title: F-FLOOD LEVEL FINDING
Wording The proposed project will not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of base flood discharges.

Title: F-APPEAL FINDING
Wording Pursuant to RCW 36.70C, the applicant or any aggrieved party may appeal this final decision to Jefferson County Superior Court within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the date of issuance of this land use decision. For more information related to judicial appeals, see JCC 18.40.340.

Title: F-Confirmed ESAs
Wording The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community Development staff on March 23, 2009 for the potential presence of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) under the provisions of the Unified Development Code (UDC). After an initial Geographic Information Systems mapping review, the following ESAs were confirmed to be present on the subject property: geologically hazardous areas (unstable old landslides, seismic, and landslide), fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas (bald eagle shoreline buffer, listed fish in Hood Canal), wetlands, flood hazards (Zone A), aquifer recharge area (susceptible), and seawater intrusion protection zone (coastal).

Title: F-Aquifer Recharge Area
Wording Aquifer Recharge Areas in Jefferson County are characterized by porous geological formations that allow percolation of the surface water into the soils and the underlying zone of saturation. Aquifers are geologic formations that contain sufficient saturated permeable material to yield significant quantities of water to wells and springs. Aquifers serve as the source of drinking water within most of the rural portions of Jefferson County. The proposed project would not be expected to have an effect on an aquifer recharge area.

Title: F-Geohazard Area
Wording Geologically Hazardous Areas in Jefferson County are characterized by slope, soil type, geologic material, and groundwater that may combine to create problems with slope stability, erosion, and water quality during and after construction or during natural events such as earthquakes or severe rainstorms. The proposed project would not be expected to have any effect on geologically hazardous areas.

Title: F-SIPZ
Wording Marine shorelines and islands are susceptible to a condition that is known as seawater intrusion. Seawater intrusion is a condition in which the saltwater/freshwater interface in an aquifer moves inland so that wells drilled on upland areas cannot obtain freshwater suitable for public consumption without significant additional treatment and cost. Maintaining a stable balance in the saltwater/freshwater interface is primarily a function of the rate of aquifer recharge (primarily through rainfall) and the rate of groundwater withdrawals (primarily through wells). The Washington Department of Ecology is the agency with statutory authority to regulate groundwater withdrawal for individual wells in Jefferson County. New development, redevelopment, and land use activities on islands and in close proximity to marine shorelines in particular should be developed in such a manner to maximize aquifer recharge and maintain the saltwater/freshwater balance to the maximum extent possible by infiltrating stormwater runoff so that it recharges the aquifer. The proposed project would not be expected to have any effect on seawater intrusion protection zones.

Title: F-Stormwater
Wording The applicant is proposing to replace pilings in marine waters. The proposal will not create or add impervious surface or have any land disturbing activities. Therefore, the proposal is below the regulatory thresholds specified in Jefferson County Code 18.30.060 and 18.30.070, and a stormwater permit is not required.

Title: F-SEPA Exempt
Wording Jefferson County determined that this proposal is categorically exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(3).

Title: F-Site Plan Changes
Wording The site plan as submitted with the shoreline exemption application on December 18, 2008 has been reviewed for consistency under the UDC, and has been approved by Jefferson County Department of Community Development. Any modifications, changes, and/or additions to the stamped, approved site plan dated April 14, 2009 shall be resubmitted for review and approval by Jefferson County Department of Community Development.

Title: F-APPROVAL FOR SDP EX ONLY
Wording This approval is for a a shoreline exemption to replace 4 pilings only. Any future permits on this site are subject to review for consistency with applicable codes and ordinances and does not preclude review and conditions which may be placed on future permits.

Title: ZONING
Wording The parcel has been designated as Rural Residential 1:20 under the Jefferson County Comprehensive Land Use Map effective August 28, 1998.

Title: F-General PMT Notice
Wording NOTICE: This permit does not excuse the proponent from complying with other local, state, and federal ordinances, regulations, or statutes applicable to the proposed development, but consistent with RCW 90.58. Development pursuant to this permit shall be undertaken subject to the applicable policies and performance standards of the Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master Program and the Jefferson County Unified Development Code. If during excavation or development of the site an area of potential archaeological significance is uncovered, all activity in the immediate area shall be halted, and the Administrator shall be notified at once. The Federal Endangered Species Act rules to protect threatened Chinook and Summer-run Chum salmon became effective on January 8, 2001. Bull trout have been listed as threatened since early 2000. Under the ESA, any person may bring lawsuit against any individual or agency that "takes" listed species (defined as causing harm, harassing, or damaging habitat for the listed species). In addition, the National Marine Fisheries Service can levy penalties. All areas in Jefferson County are included as "critical habitat" for a listed species. Development of property along any marine shoreline, freshwater shoreline, or floodplains could harm habitat if protective measures are not taken. To minimize the potential to damage habitat, all property owners developing adjacent to marine shoreline, freshwater shoreline, or floodplains are advised to do the following: - All development activities should avoid unstable slopes, wetlands, and forested areas near surface waters - Remove minimal vegetation for site development, especially large trees - Allow trees that have fallen into surface waters to remain there - Infiltrate stormwater from buildings and driveways onsite through drywells rather than discharging directly into surface waters or roadside ditches Any individual, group, or agency can bring suit for a listed species "taking", even if you are in compliance with Jefferson County development codes. The risk of a lawsuit against you can be reduced by consulting with a professional fisheries habitat biologist, and following the recommendations for site development provided by the biologist. For more information, contact the National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle, or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Title: F-SDP Exemption Section
Wording The Development Review Division finds that this proposal is consistent with Shoreline Master Program JCC 18.25.090(6) and is consequently exempt from the substantial development permit (SDP) requirements. Exemptions from the substantial development permit requirements do not exempt a proposed development from compliance with the applicable policies and standards of the Shoreline Master Program or other applicable Federal, State, or local permit or license requirements.
