Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Hi Donna, Thank you again for your email. Yes, Rock Island Shellfish would like to proceed with limiting the authorized substantial development under this application to that below ordinary high water mark (OHWM). While there would be operational efficiencies with utilizing the upland containers and trailer as part of this operation, Rock Island Shellfish will make alternative arrangements for meeting any needs, including contracting or otherwise coordinating with other growers and/or processors in the Hood Canal/Puget Sound region. No new development within Jefferson County would be undertaken as part of such contracting or coordinating. The activities and structures used for Rock Island Shellfish's located below OHWM are fully described and analyzed in prior submittals, including the DARPA, SEPA Checklist, Habitat Report, Habitat Management Plan, and Code Consistency Analysis. Site plans and drawings illustrating development below OHWM are also included within these reports (e.g., Figure 1 in the Code Consistency Analysis, Figures 2 and 3 in the Habitat Management Plan, etc.). I believe that this should satisfactorily answer your information request below, but if you have any questions, please let me know.

I expect to have a substantive response/submittal along the lines requested below back to you early next week. Have a nice weekend. Jesse From: Donna Frostholm <DFrostholm@co.iefferson.wa.us> Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2025 11:12 AM To: Jesse DeNike <iesse@plauchecarr.com> Subject: SDP2024-00006 Rock Island Shellfish Jesse, This email follows up on our phone call earlier this week about the Rock Island Shellfish aquaculture application. During that phone call, you reiterated that Bob Carson would like move forward with permitting and that it may be possible to operate the shellfish farm without an upland location. It is my understanding that you are working on an updated project description for the proposal that addresses how all work will be conducted below ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Assuming the submittal demonstrates that no area landward of OHWM would be needed to operate the shellfish farm, Department of Community Development would not include a recommended condition (in the staff report to the hearing examiner) that would require the applicant to obtain a permit for aquaculture use of upland areas prior to initiating any work on the aquaculture operation. Please be advised that if the area landward of OHWM is no longer needed to support the shellfish farm, the county will require Mr. Carson to address the unpermitted development on the parcels. As noted above, it is my understanding that you will be sending in an updated description of the proposal, possibly as soon as the end of this week. If you have any questions, please let me know.
