Hi Mo-chi,
The following are my comments for this project regarding potable water:
1. *Mo-Chi, I think that you will be addressing the project being located within SARPA + SUSC via
land use comments so feel free to omit this comment if this item is addressed in the DCD staff
report.*
The majority of the project area is within the Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (CARA) of
Jefferson County PUD Quimper water system source water well Airport 2B Source 14 (S14)
and is classified as special aquifer recharge protection area and susceptible aquifer recharge
(SARPA + SUSC). Per JCC 18.22.330, high impact activities shall be prohibited in areas that
are classified as both a susceptible aquifer recharge area and a special aquifer recharge
protection area. See JCC Table 18.22.330(1) for list of high impact activities.
1. The existing water well shown on the site plan in proposed Tract D with the 100 foot
protective radius is a water well owned by Jefferson County PUD (known as the Four Corners
well). This well shall be labelled: Jefferson County PUD water well tag # AGS260.
2. There is one monitoring well about 90 feet WSW of the PUD’s water well tag # AGS260. On
the site plan, the label “Monitoring well” has two arrows – one arrow pointing at the
monitoring well and one arrow pointing at the PUD water well. Remove the second arrow
pointing at the PUD water well.
3. The property is located within the Jefferson County PUD Quimper public water service area.
Future building permits proposing plumbing will be required to provide proof of potable
water through a Water Availability Letter from Jefferson County PUD.
4. The industry standard setback of a minimum of 10 feet between potable water line and sewer
line components shall be applied to each lot.
Thank you,
Emma

Good afternoon Mo-chi,
The revised site plan and the proceed to engineering letter look okay for the septic team’s
requirements. However, prior to preliminary approval we will need a letter from an approved public
management entity stating that they will be managing the LOSS according to the standards set forth
in JCC 8.15.100. Frequently in the past for other community and large onsite septic systems this
entity has been Jefferson County PUD.
I have reached out to the Port of Port Townsend and the PUD regarding this. The PUD has not been
contacted by the Port for this and I have not heard back from the Port about their plans.
Thanks,
Tim

Hello Emma and Tim,
The Port District is proposing this 11 lot binding site plan at the Jefferson County Airport (SUB2025-
00007).
DCD received the attached renewed Water Availability Notification and the Proceed to Engineering
for New LOSS letter from the Port District today.
Please review and provide me your comments by December 4, 2025 so they can be incorporated
into the DCD staff report.
Please contact me or Greg if you have any questions.
Thank you.
