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-FLOOD DEVELOPMENT
Wording The proposal will be located in Discovery Bay, in an area that is mapped on the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map (panel 5300690135B) 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 of development but not structure in the flood damage prevention ordinance, as codified in JCC 15.15.050.

Title: F-NO FLOOD LEVEL INCREASE
Wording The proposed project will not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of base flood discharges

Title: F-FEMA BI-OP EXEMPT
Wording The project is exempt from compliance with the FEMA Habitat Assessment requirements under Model Ordinance 7.2 subsection A. The repair of the drainage system is not a substantial improvement or a repair of substantial damage.

Title: F-SHORELINE EXEMPTION
Wording This project was reviewed and approved as a Shoreline Exemption under JCC 18.25.560(2).

Title: F-STORMWATER CODE INTERPRETATION
Wording This proposal is consistent with the Jefferson County Code Interpretation dated November 3, 2015 for stormwater improvement repairs to an existing legal non-confomring structure in shoreline jurisdiction within the standard shoreline buffer. The proposed stormwater improvement is exempt from critical area review under JCC 18.22.070(6) and (21).

Title: F-COMMERCIAL FACILITY
Wording The associated parcel (002 123 003) is located within the shoreline of Discovery Bay and subject to UDC Section 18.25 Shoreline Master Program. The Maintenance Shop and associated paved parking area are considered a commercial facility owned by the Cape George Colony Club

Title: F-Confirmed ESAs
Wording The application was reviewed by the Jefferson County Department of Community Development staff on September 28, 2016 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 and an investigative site inspection, the following ESAs were confirmed to be present on the subject property:nearshore marine habitat (Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area), unstable shoreline slope stability, seismic hazard area, FEMA special flood hazard area, susceptible aquifer recharge area, coastal seawater intrusion protection zone.

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.

Title: F-Susc. Aquifer Recharge Area
Wording Susceptible Aquifer Recharge Areas are those with geologic and hydrologic conditions that promote rapid infiltration of recharge waters to groundwater aquifers.

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.

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.

Title: F-Coastal SIPZ
Wording The parcel is located within a coastal SIPZ (seawater intrusion protection zone) according to the County GIS map. There are voluntary and mandatory measures identified in the Jefferson County Seawater Intrusion Policy (Resolution 61-02, effective September 23, 2002) that apply to well drilling proposals and building permit applications on existing lots of record. A Coastal SIPZ is defined as: all islands and area within one-quarter mile of marine shoreline, but no history of chloride concentration above 100 mg/L in groundwater sources within 1000 feet.

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 revised site plan as submitted with the replacement stormwater system application on December 22, 2016 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 revised site plan dated January 5, 2017 shall be resubmitted for review and approval by Jefferson County Department of Community Development.

Title: F-Approval for _____ Only
Wording This approval is for a replacement stormwater system 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: 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. Portions of Jefferson County, including marine environments are included as "critical habitat" for 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 The Federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act requires landowners within 660 feet (1/8th of a mile) of an eagle nest to consult with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. This Eagle Act prohibits anyone from "taking" bald eagles. This federal law defines the term "take" and describes the possible legal consequences when a "take" occurs. Among other actions, "take" includes a disturbance of bald eagles or their habitat. Under federal law a permit may still be required for activities that impact bald eagles or their habitat. Contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service (http://www.fws.gov/pacific/eagle/) to learn more about how this law affects your project. 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.
