Provisions
This authorization is subject to the water right holder’s compliance with the provisions below and the
requirements specified in the following plans, including future revisions:
• Revised Pleasant Harbor Groundwater Monitoring Plan, prepared by Subsurface Group, LLC,
on February 22, 2010.
• Pleasant Harbor Neighborhood Water Supply Plan for Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort
dated June 4, 2018.
• Water Quality Monitoring Plan for Pleasant Harbor Marina and Resort dated January 8, 2018.
The Revised Pleasant Harbor Groundwater Monitoring Plan will remain in effect at least through full
build-out of the project, after which the requirements may be modified by the Department of Ecology
based on monitoring results.
Project Withdrawal Limits
Groundwater withdrawals under all water rights for this project shall not exceed an instantaneous rate of
300 gallons per minute and a total annual quantity of 254 acre-feet per year.
Wells, Well Logs and Well Construction Standards
All wells constructed in the state shall meet the construction requirements of WAC 173-160 titled
“Minimum Standards for the Construction and Maintenance of Wells” and RCW 18.104 titled “Water
Well Construction”. Any well which is unusable, abandoned, or whose use has been permanently
discontinued, or which is in such disrepair that its continued use is impractical or is an environmental,
safety or public health hazard shall be decommissioned.
• Water supply wells must be constructed according to the water well regulations in WAC 173-
160-101 thru 390 by a licensed water well driller.
Exhibit 20
SUPERSEDING WATER RIGHT PERMIT 3 G2-30436
• Resource protection wells (e.g., future monitoring wells MW7 & MW8) must be constructed
according to the sealing requirements specified in WAC 173-160-450 or -451, by a licensed
resource protection well driller.
• Any additional vibrating wire piezometers must be constructed according to WAC 173-160-457
and -458.
All wells shall be tagged with a Department of Ecology unique well identification number. If you have an
existing well and it does not have a tag, please contact the well-drilling coordinator at the regional
Department of Ecology office issuing this decision. These tags shall remain attached to the wells.
Installation and maintenance of access ports, as described in WAC 173-160-291(3), is required.
Measurements, Monitoring, Metering and Reporting
An approved measuring device must be installed and maintained for each of the sources identified by
this water right in accordance with Chapter 173-173 WAC, "Requirements for Measuring and Reporting
Water Use, which describes the requirements for data accuracy, device installation and operation, and
information reporting. It also allows a water user to petition the Department of Ecology for
modifications to some of the requirements.
Monthly and annual withdrawals from each production well shall be reported annually, by January 31,
via the Internet. To set up an Internet reporting account, contact the Southwest Regional Office Water
Resources Program.
Datalogger Installation and Downloading Requirements
Dataloggers recording groundwater pressure must be maintained at all vibrating wire piezometers and
monitoring wells. Dataloggers measuring both groundwater pressure and electrical conductivity must be
maintained at Monitoring Wells MW-2, MW-4, MW-5, MW-7, and MW-8. Groundwater pressure and
electrical conductivity measurements shall be recorded every 0.5 hour. All dataloggers must be checked
for battery life, calibration and other recommendations by the manufacture. All pressure transducers
that are non-vented must also be corrected for barometric pressure and drift (based on manual static
water level readings).
During the construction period (generally, April 1 to November 1), data must be downloaded every two
months. During the non-construction period (generally, November 1 to April 1), data must be
downloaded every three months. Once water is in use for domestic or irrigation supply, dataloggers
must be downloaded and water samples collected quarterly until water is in full beneficial use. At that
time, the requirements will be adjusted based on the monitoring results.
Future Water Supply Wells
Future water supply wells under this permit must be completed in the Sea Level Aquifer and a minimum
72-hour constant-rate aquifer test must be conducted on each well.
Water quality samples for chloride and conductivity must be collected from the pumping well, existing
monitoring wells MW-2, MW-4, and MW-5, and future monitoring wells, MW-7 and MW-8, and the
approved coastal domestic wells. Samples must be sent to a state-accredited laboratory for analysis. The
pumping well must be sampled three times during the aquifer test: 1) after pumping two well volumes,
2) midway through pumping (approximately 36 hours), and 3) near the conclusion of pumping. The
Exhibit 20
SUPERSEDING WATER RIGHT PERMIT 4 G2-30436
pumping well must be sampled within the last 15 minutes of the aquifer test in accordance with the
Washington State Department of Health Water System Manual guidelines. The monitoring wells and
coastal domestic wells must be sampled prior to the test and in the final hours of the test before the
pumping well is shut off. The five monitoring wells must be continuously monitored for conductivity
during testing.
Additional aquifer testing procedures are outlined in the Washington State Department of Ecology
publication, Water Resources Program Guidance: Aquifer Test Procedures, October 2020, Publication
20-11-093 (https://apps.ecology.wa.gov/publications/documents/2011093.pdf).
Contact the Washington State Department of Health Water System Manual for additional water quality
sampling and aquifer testing requirements.
Aquifer test and water quality sampling results shall be submitted to the Department of Ecology’s
Southwest Regional Office promptly upon completion of the aquifer test.
Chloride Monitoring
Chloride concentrations and conductivity shall be sampled quarterly in each water supply well during
the months of March, June, September, and December. Quarterly sampling will be required for at least
three years following full build-out of the project after which the monitoring frequency may be modified
by the Department of Ecology based on the results.
At least two seaward coastal domestic wells approved by Ecology shall be sampled for chloride
concentrations and conductivity, twice a year, during the months of April and August, or alternatively, in
March and September to be in sync with other sampling events. Monitoring shall continue at least
through full build-out. The Beattie well on Jefferson County Parcel No. 502153018, and the
Vann/Brakeman well (original Sam Boling well) on Parcel No. 502154001 are currently approved for this
purpose.
If an approved well becomes unavailable or is otherwise found to be unsuitable for monitoring, the
Department of Ecology must be promptly notified and another coastal well substituted with the
approval of the Department to ensure that at least two wells are continuously monitored.
All monitoring wells with electrical conductivity meters (MW-2, MW-4, MW-5, MW-7 & MW-8) must be
sampled for chloride and conductivity during the month of September each year.
Stagnant water from any inactive well must be purged prior to sampling for chloride and conductivity.
Approximately two well volumes or stable conductivity indicate adequate purging.
All water quality samples shall be analyzed by a state-accredited laboratory and the laboratory results
submitted to the Department of Ecology’s Southwest Regional Office by February 28 of the year
following the sampling events.
Sampling of nitrates, total hardness (CaCO3), or other water quality monitoring is also recommended to
help identify sources of chlorides other than seawater intrusion.
This data will assist Ecology in determining if actions are necessary to prevent a progressive increase in
chloride concentrations above 100 mg/l, an indicator of seawater intrusion. Preventative actions may
Exhibit 20
SUPERSEDING WATER RIGHT PERMIT 5 G2-30436
include reducing the instantaneous pumping rate, reducing the annual volume pumped, scheduling
pumping to coincide with low tides, and/or raising the pump intake.
All water levels and sampling of chloride and other water quality data must be closely monitored to
detect increasing trends in chlorides or declining static water levels. Any progressive static water level
declines or increasing trends in chloride concentrations that could lead to impairment of coastal
domestic wells must immediately be reported to Ecology. Additional studies or preventative actions as
described above may be required.
Static Water Level Measurements
In conjunction with chloride and electrical conductivity monitoring, static water levels shall be measured
quarterly in each production well, the approved coastal monitoring wells, MW-2, MW-4, MW-5, MW-6,
MW-7, and MW-8 using a consistent methodology. Data shall be submitted annually, by February 28, to
the Department of Ecology’s Southwest Regional Office.
Static water level data shall be submitted in digital format and shall include the following elements:
• Unique Well ID Number
• Measurement date and time
• Measurement method (air line, electric tape, pressure transducer, etc.)
• Measurement accuracy (to nearest foot, tenth of foot, etc.)
• Description of the measuring point (top of casing, sounding tube, etc.)
• Measuring point elevation above or below land surface to the nearest 0.1 foot
• Land surface elevation at the well head to the nearest foot.
• Static water level below measuring point to the nearest 0.1 foot.
• All manual static water levels and pressure transducer readings must be
corrected and converted to elevation in feet above NAVD88.
If nearby pumping wells interfere with monitoring well water levels, pumps may need to be shut off for
as long as four hours to allow monitoring wells to recover to static conditions.

Groundwater Monitoring Annual Reports
An annual report summarizing the status of development and all groundwater monitoring results shall
be prepared, reviewed, and stamped by a licensed hydrogeologist, and the report submitted to the
Department of Ecology’s Southwest Regional Office Water Resources Program by February 28, each
year. Summaries must include charts and tables of all groundwater pressure (water level elevations from
vibrating wire piezometers and monitoring wells’ data), electrical conductivity/salinity levels, along with
all quarterly manual static water levels and chloride sampling results including the coastal domestic
wells. The report must be produced in hard copy and digital format and must present all cumulative
data and an analysis of trends or problems. The report must also include a revised map showing the
locations of the water supply wells, cased monitoring wells, vibrating wire piezometers and two
approved coastal domestic wells.
Antidegradation Policy
Under WAC 173-200-030, existing and future beneficial uses shall be maintained and protected and
degradation of groundwater quality that would interfere with or become injurious to beneficial uses
shall not be allowed.
Safe Sustainable Yield
Withdrawals may be regulated prior to full build-out if necessary to prevent degradation of water
quality or a long-term progressive decline in static water levels that would be injurious to senior water
users.
Additional monitoring and groundwater studies may be required to demonstrate safe sustainable yield
prior to issuance of a final certificate of water right.
Department of Health Requirements
Prior to any new construction or alterations of a public water supply system, the State Board of Health
rules require public water supply owners to obtain written approval from the Office of Drinking Water of
the Washington State Department of Health. Please contact the Office of Drinking Water at Southwest
Drinking Water Operations, 243 Israel Road S.E., PO Box 47823, Tumwater, WA 98504-7823, (360) 236-
3030.
