management problems will be corrected. The project focus area Is within the dty of Port Townsend, the
Qulmper Peninsula, Marrowstone Island, and approximately 40 miles of shoreline. Public Health will
coordinate with the CIty of Port Townsend through an Interlocal Agreement to locate, trace and monitor
stormwater outfalls.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT AN~L YSIS:
The Department of Ecology will fund 75% of this contract. A 25% match Is required In the amount of

marine shoreline survey, and those properties within 500 feet of the marine shoreline that
either have no septic system permit, or were permitted more than 25 years earlier. The
purpose of the sanitary surveys will be to identify and correct failing ass contributing to
the pollution of surface water. Additionally, the RECIPIENT will prevent failing ass by
providing installation records (if available) and educational materials reIated to proper
maintenance and care to the property owner. The RECIPIENT will contact a minimum

"Suspect." These are systems that the RECIPIENT suspects to be failing, but does not
have adequate documentation of failure. The follow up inspection will consist of a field
evaluation and potentially another dye test
D. The RECIPIENT will ensure correction of fecal and nutrient sources using a combination
of public education and enforcement (where necessary) oflocal solid waste and onsite
sewage regulations.
E. The RECIPIENT will refer properties documented to have livestock waste handling
problems to the Jefferson County Conservation District for evaluation and preparation

1. Report to the DEPARlMENT quarterly on the progress of the sanitary survey
including the number of properties contacted, the number of surveys completed,
and the number of failing, suspect, non-conforming systems found and properties
with no ass record. Additionally, report on the number, type and location ofbest
management practices installed by property owners that limit runoff related to
livestock waste.
2. Contact a minimum of 500 properties in the project area and request a sanitary
survey. Conduct a minimum of 400 sanitary surveys in the project area by June
2015.
3. Using a combination of education and enforcement of state and local codes,
correct documented fecal and nutrient sources, including failing ass and
inadequate animal waste management practices, by October 2015.

the meetings through ongoing print media, postcards, newsletters, website and a
voluntary email distribution list
B. The RECIPIENT will develop and distribute a newsletter to be distributed annually to the
residents in the project area. The newsletter will discuss project results, septic system
maintenance, BMPs, water conservation tips, and ~ther key issues specific to the project
area. The RECIPIENT will provide a copy of the newsletter to the DEPARTMENT prior
~o distribution to the public.
C. The RECIPIENT will hold four educational workshops throughout the project area to
discuss proper operation and maintenance of ass with homeowners and other interested
parties. For efficiency, the RECIPIENT will hold these workshops at the same time as
the informational meetings. The RECIPIENT will provide brochures and handouts to
homeowners describing the BMPs for their ass type. The RECIPIENT will notifY
homeowners by print media, postcards, newsletters, a voluntary email distribution list,
and website about these meetings in advance of the date to ensure good attendance.

ATIACHMENT I: GENERAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE CENTENNIAL CLEAN WATER PROGRAM AND THE FEDERAL CLEAN
WATER ACT SECTION 319 NONPOINT SOURCE FUND
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP) IMPLEMENTATION
If the RECIPIENT installs BMPs that are not approved by the DEP AR1MENT prior to
insta1Iation, the RECIPIENT assumes the risk that part or all of the reimbursement for that
activity may be delayed or ineligible.
Technical assistance for eligible water quality-related agriculture activities provided under the
terms of this agreement must be consistent with current U.S. Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) standards and Technical Guide. Technical assistance, proposed practices, or
project designs that do not meet these standards may be accepted if approved in writing by the
NRCS and the DEP AR1MENT. .
All restoration activities must be consistent with the Stream Habitat Restoration Guidelines.
available at http://www.wdfw.wagov/oublications/00043/wdfw00043.odf. and the requirements
below. If the RECIPIENT wishes to design a riparian buffer not consistent with the following
requirements, the RECIPIENT must submit an adequate justification as to why these caunot be
met and an alternate pIan to the DEPARTMENT for review and approval.
1. Riparian Buffers:
a For agricultural areas, minimum buffer size for streams will be 35 feet (on both
sides of the stream) measured from the top of the stream bank. For those streams
which provide habitat for endangered or threatened aquatic species, the minimum
buffer size will be two active stream channel widths (but not less than 35 feet on
both sides). To maintain fully functional riparian ecosystems and provide
sufficient habitat to meet the needs of fish and wildlife, it is recommended that the
RECIPIENT use Washington Department offish and Wildlife buffer widths table
whenever possible.
b. When buffers are to be created in forested areas, buffer width must also be
consistent with Forest Practices Rules.
c. The RECIPIENT must obtain a conservation easement or a landowner agreement
signed by the landowner prior to the establishment of a riparian buffer on private
property. The conservation easement must be consistent with Fundinl! Guidelines
FY 2010 - 2011. The easement or a landowner agreement must be effective for a
minimum often years unless otherwise authorized by the DEP AR1MENT.
d. The RECIPIENT must develop a written and signed three-year maintenance pIan
prior to establishing all riparian buffers. This plan will detail responsibilities for
both the landowner and the RECIPIENT and must include details concerning, bnt
not limited to, watering plants, replacing dead plants. controlling noxious weeds,
and repairing and maintaining buffer fencing.
11
e. Buffers established as part of this grant may not violate county Critical Area
Ordinances, county Shoreline Rules, or other state and local regulations.
2. Riparian Plantings:
a The RECIPIENT must develop plans for all riparian buffers prior to establishment
which include plant locations and species. The plan must be based on an
assessment of native plant associations and community types.
b. The RECIPIENT must only plant species that are riparian in nature and
indigenous to the primary watershed where the buffer is being established. (Ask
the question, "Would this plant historically have occurred at this site?")
c. The RECIPIENT must use, to the greatest extent possible, genetically appropriate
plant materials collected from the primary or secondary watershed where the
buffer is to be established.
d. The RECIPIENT must utilize, to the greatest extent possible, plant species that
are early successional within the primary watershed. Early successional species
are those whose characteristics are such that they are first to colonize after a
disturbance.
3. Streambank Protection:
a. Streambank protection projects must not stand alone, but be part of a larger
riparian buffer project. The project must include the buffer and planting

perform any obligation required of it by this agreement, the DEPARTMENT may refuse to
pay any further funds there under and/or terminate this agreement by giving written notice of
