Good Morning Chris,
This email is in response to your email on January 6, 2020. Jefferson County's Shoreline Master Program (SMP), Jefferson
County Code (JCC)18.25.270(2)(d)(i-vi) requires mitigation sequencing in the following order: avoidance, minimization of
impacts by using appropriate technology, rectifying the impact, reducing or eliminating the impact over time,
compensating for the impact and monitoring the impact to continue taking corrective measures.
As discussed in the pre -application conference, Jefferson County reviewed the Habitat Management Plan (HMP). The
current HMP focuses on impacts to listed species. The SMP requires no net loss of shoreline ecosystem functions and
ecosystem processes. The impact of the Point Whitney boat launch redevelopment affects important shoreline
ecosystem functions and processes, including sediment source and transport. Mitigation cannot be based on the
size/bulk dimensions of the project. Mitigation must ensure no -net -loss of shoreline ecosystem processes that the boat
launch redevelopment will interrupt.
In -Lieu Fee (ILF) mitigation debit and credit calculations must only be considered after demonstrating compliance with
mitigation sequencing, which has not been completed. We believe that ILF would be very difficult to use as a mitigation
tool. Thank you for your inquiry and we look forward to working with you on this project.
Respectfully,

Hello Daisy,
Today I spoke with Patty Michak at the Hood Canal Coordinating Council. She briefly walked me through the process
required for estimating a cost for In -Lieu Fee mitigation credits. After a discussion of the work proposed, she suggested I
reach out to both you and Jefferson County to request the amount of compensatory mitigation that will be required.
The system they have in place for estimating requires knowing the amount of compensatory mitigation required,
including the classification of the area. For example, if the County were to defer to the Corps for mitigation
requirements and the Corps is interested in compensatory mitigation for nearshore impacts to tidal areas, the HCCC
could begin their review.
I know we are all in a bit of a pickle because no one wants to spend time and resources on a project that may not move
forward. However, I cannot recommend we move forward with the project and the potential HCCC mitigation without
knowing a cost of mitigation. Patty doesn't know what the Corps will ask for, and therefore, can't give me a close
estimate of cost. If mitigation costs will shut down the project, I want to let the project managers know that and ensure
the funds get returned to RCO.
The new ramp is 2 feet wider than the existing ramp and 4 feet of proposed articulated concrete mats will line each side.
The total impact of the ramp and articulated concrete mats is roughly 2,464 square feet, including the area above
MHHW. This is roughly 1,900 square feet below MHHW and 564 square feet above MHHW. The current ramp footprint
is 1,120 square feet. It will remain the same length.
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience with the mitigation requirements. I look forward to working on this
project with you all!
Thank you,
