INTRODUCTION
This is a profile of some characteristics of the people, housing,
businesses and natural resources located in the Hood Canal watershed.
It is a snap shot at fixed points in time. We do not attempt to analyze
the data, the relationship between various sectors, or to explore trends
over time. Our primary goal has been to provide information which will
be useful to those who are engaged in this kind of analysis, as well as to
Providing some baselines for future research.
Most people are unaware of the Hood Canal watershed boundaries. yet,
Belfair, Quilcene, Hoodsport and Seebeck, as parts of an Important
ecosystem, are interconnected. One of our hopes is that the very
creation of this profile will encourage readers to consider the virtues of
thinking about the Hood Canal watershed as an integrated region.
We created this profile at the request of the Hood Canal Coordinating
Council. It represents our Masters Degree Application's Project for the
Master's in Public Administration from The Evergreen State College.
This project required finding data sources. It then required trying to
find the closest possible ft to the Hood Canal watershed for data
originally collected for counties or other geographic areas that were
either larger or smaller than the Hood Canal watershed.
Neither of us had any experience with a project like this before. Richard
Doane is an English Instructor at Centralia College and Richard Rhine
has been a social worker in child protective services. We were not
prepared for the difficulties, and the lack of methodological guidelines,
we encountered. Under separate cover we have prepared an extensive
methodology. We describe our dead ends as well the methods that
eventually lead to this profile. This information is available by
contacting Richard Rhine at (206) 761 -1604. We'd be very pleased if our
efforts contribute to making future profiles of the Hood Canal
watershed, or other special areas, a little easier.
CHAPTER I BOUNDARIES
More detailed boundary maps located in appendix section
The Hood Canal watershed boundary map on the preceding page
was created for this report by Ernest L. Moore, III, GIS Database
Administrator, Thurston Co., WA. Geodata Center. Mr. Moore created
this map from a computer file provided by the Puget Sound Cooperative
River Basin Team.' The Puget Sound Cooperative River Basin Team
created precise maps for the eastern boundary of the Hood Canal
watershed. The balance of depicted watershed boundary was also from
data provided to Mr. Moore by the Puget Sound Cooperative River Basin
Team. The boundaries on this map parallel boundaries, from various
sources, that we used for our research.
For our research we used the Puget Sound Cooperative River Basin
Team boundary for the Hood Canal watershed from north of the
Skokomish Reservation in Mason County to an area west of Hansville In
Kitsap County. Mr. Moore produced Geographical Information Systems
maps that overlaid this boundary on several large maps of census
blocks.
For a small northern part of Kitsap County (from west of Hansville
to Foulweather Bluff) we used a Hood Canal watershed boundary
originally created by professional cartographer, Dee Molenaar, and
provided to us by the Hood Canal Coordinating Council. Among other
methodologies, this boundary was created following aerial surveillance.
This boundary was reproduced for us on a 1:100,000 - -scale metric
topographic-- bathymetric map by Neil Allund, an expert cartographer
and former Executive Director of the Hood Canal Coordinating Council.
Data from Kitsap County Geographical Information Systems, showing
census blocks crossed by the watershed boundary, are consistent with
this boundary.
We also used the boundary originally drawn by Dee Molenaar and
reproduced by Neil Allund for the southern and western Hood Canal
watershed boundary in Mason County. Data we received from the
Mason County Department of Community Development, showing which
census blocks were crossed by the watershed boundary, helped confirm
the accuracy of this boundary.
In Jefferson County, from the Clallam County line east to the
Hood Canal, we used a Hood Canal watershed boundary created on
three USES 1 "= 2000' maps by David Young, Ex- Coordinator of
Integrated Data Management Systems for Jefferson County. This
boundary was consistent with the boundary drawn by Dee Molenal as
IThe Puget Sound Cooperative River Basin Team consists of representatives from a
mand>er of agencies including the USDA Soil conservation Service, USDA Forest Service,
Washington State Department of Fisheries, Washington State Department of Ecology,
and the US Environmennl Protection Agency.
well as with watershed boundary maps for Jefferson County from other
sources.
The boundary for the Hood Canal watershed in western Jefferson
Counry,t Clallam County and Grays Harbor County came from the map
by Dee Molenaar, as reproduced by Neil Allund. As these areas have no
population, any mapping errors would have no Impact on most of our
data.
We recreated the above boundaries on maps at many levels of
detail including Census Bureau maps, USGS 7 1/2 minute maps, and the
Roadrunner Kitsap /Mason County Street Atlas.
There were two areas where we questioned whether our
boundaries were Correct. The Cooperative River Basin Team's Hood
Canal watershed boundary in Kitsap County terminated south of the
boundary we used. Team leaders told us that their Kitsap boundary
terminated where it did because of political jurisdictional concerns.
They said the boundary on our maps was the best boundary to use, as it
crossed the Hood Canal at its sill. The following quote from Jeremiah
Gorsline explains the significance of the sill. "The arm of the sea we
know as Hood Canal is a glacial - carved, 60- mile -long fishhook- shaped
fjord and, like all fjords, it has a glacial sill at the entrance which
restricts interchange of water with the rest of Puget Sound "s
The second area of dispute was the watershed boundary in the
eastern part of Jefferson County. A major developer said that the real
boundary might have be slightly south of our boundary in the Shine
area. He said they had discovered water flowing north from some areas
just south of our boundary to an area north of the Hood Canal. An
agricultural extension agent alternatively suggested that our boundary
really should be placed considerably north (perhaps just south of Port
Townsend) as runoff from the Chimacum area that enters Admiralty
Inlet eventually works its way Into the Hood Canal. Following
consultations with the Puget Sound Cooperative River Basin Team, we
decided to continue to use the boundary reflected on the maps from
Dee Molenaar, the Jefferson County Planning Department, and the ARC
tape file data provided by the Puget Sound River Cooperative Basin
Team

CHAPTER CENSUS DATA
Cm w data a o appean in other chapters
Extracting information from the 1990 Census for the Hood Canal
watershed was our most time consuming activity. In a separate
document we have outlined our methodology. That will make it much
easier for data to be extracted from the 2000 Census and for
comparisons to be made.
We have voluminous census data not included in this thesis. We
also have data for discreet areas within the Hood Canal watershed in
each county such as the Tahuya area in Mason County and the Quilcene
area in Jefferson County. All of the data we extracted for the Hood
Canal watershed and our methodology outline are available to
interested parties. (Call Richard Rhine In Tacoma; WA. at 761- 1604.)
Population of the Hood Canal W t h d^
The smallest units in which some census data is available are
census blocks. There are several thousand census blocks in the Hood
Canal watershed. Population figures are available for each census block.
In order to determine the 1990 population of the Hood Canal watershed
we used a number of tools, including geographical Information system
maps, to determine which blocks were in the watershed and which
blocks were divided by the watershed boundary. There were over eighty
blocks crossed by the watershed boundary. In Kitsap County alone over
5000 people lived in blocks divided by the watershed boundary.. We
carefully analyzed every block crossed by the boundary to determine the
approximate percentage of the block's population in the Hood Canal
watershed. We then allowed for a range of population that was wide
enough to capture the true population of the watershed for each block.
There was no likely population in the Hood Canal watershed in
Clallam and Grays Harbor counties.
I9 the total population of the Hood Canal watershed in
Person County was between 3,161 and 3,214 people.
1990 the total population of the Hood Canal watershed in
Icon County was between 10,662 and 10,780 people.
1990 the total population of the Hood Canal watershed in
map County was between 15,318 and 16,144 people.
The population data on the previous page are from an area that
represents the actual Hood Canal watershed.
All subsequent Census Bureau Data comes from areas that closely
approximate the Hood Canal watershed.
The smallest unit at which the majority of Census Bureau Data is
available are block groups. While block groups do not overlap county
.boundaries they do overlap watershed boundaries. There are 43 block -
groups that are partially or totally within the Hood Canal watershed. in
extracting Census Bureau Data we have selected the block groups that
most closely fit the Hood Canal watershed In each county with the
following results:
Jefferson County: Census data reported below captures 100% of the
Hood Canal watershed's population. Between 7.9% and 9.4% of the
people reflected in the data lived outside the Hood Canal watershed.
These people all lived in rural areas of Jefferson County that are
adjacent to the watershed.
Mason County: Census data reported below captures over 93% of the
Hood Canal watershed's population. Less than 3.2% of the people
reflected in the data lived outside the Hood Canal watershed. These
people all lived in rural areas of Mason County that are adjacent to the
watershed.
Kitsap County. Census data captures over 86% of the Hood Canal
watershed's population lover 92% If you include SUBASE Bangor data
that is presented separately). Between 153% and 19.4% of the people
reflected in the data lived outside the watershed boundary. These
people all lived in rural areas of Kitsap County that are adjacent to the
watershed.
SUBASE Bangor. The Hood Canal watershed boundary intersects
SUBASE Bangor. Data for SUBASE Bangor is excluded from the data
Presented for Kitsap County as only 702 people out of the 4410 people
who lived on SUBASE Bangor in 1990 actually lived within the Hood
Canal watershed. I will present information for SUBASE Bangor as a
whole In the chapter titled SUBASE Bangor.
Port Gamble S'Klallam Reservation and Skokomish Reservation:
These tribal lands are totally within the Hood Canal watershed. Data for
these areas represent 100%oftheir populations and no extraneous
populations.
Census Bureau Data presented in this report for Kitsap County
includes data for the Port Gamble S'Klallam Reservation. Data presented
for Mason County includes data for the Skokomish Reservation
The appendix contains three maps that show where the Hood
Canal watershed boundary crosses census block groups within each
county. The appendix also contains reports that provide more detailed
Information on a county by county basis, including the exact number
and percentage of the watershed population for each block group
included in subsequent data. It also shows the same data for block
groups intersected by the Hood Canal watershed boundary that are
excluded from this report.

HOOD CANALN)kURSHED` - PER CAPITA INCOME IN 1989 BY
BOUNTY AND TRIBAL AREA
Per Capita income is total income for a population divided by the
number of people in the population (including people with no Income).
Per capita income can be significantly skewed by unusually high or low
individual incomes. This data comes from data for 36 census block
groups in the Hood Canal watershed. The population of each block
group ranges from 181 to 2274 people. These populations are large
enough and unusually high or low incomes are rare enough to make the
following graph a fairly accurate comparison of differences among the
five areas reflected.
The per capita income figure for Kitsap. County does not include data
from the Port Gamble S'Klallam.Reservation. The per capita Income
figure for Kltts�ap County dogs not include data from the Skokomish
Reservation.(J1LS
Within the Hood Canal watershed in each county there are significant
variations in per capita Income in different areas. -Those variations are
reflected on the next page.

F
Reservation. Data for Kitsap County doe not include people IN
Gamble S'Klallam Reservation. Individuals listed under Hispanic
category also appear In data for other ethnic categories.
WARNING:
Per Capita Income can be misleading. Per capita Income is
the total income of a population divided by the number of people in the
Population (including dependents with no income of their own). One
problem is that individuals with extremely high or extremely low incomes
can significant impact the per capita income figure for an entire population.
The smaller the Population the greater the impact of unusual income values.
For instance, if four people each have an income of'$5000/year and one
Person has an income of $1,000,000 /year the per capita Income for the
group is $204.000.
Another problem with this data Is that people of one ethnicity
may be dependents of people of another ethnicity. To determine per
capita income for each ethnic group in the Hood Canal watershed in
each county, I used data from many small areas (block groups). In
13
some block groups an ethnic group would have population and yet have
zero per capita income (because all the people of that ethnic group' in
that block group were dependents with no income of their own).
I tried to mitigate the degree of severity of the above problems. I
did not include information for an ethnic group from a block group
when it was clear that all or most individuals were dependents with no
income of their own. I also eliminated Information when there were very
few members of an ethnic group in a a census block and they had
incomes that were unusual (such as four Asians with a per capita income
of 550,000 /year.)

The raw data is from the Washington State Department of
Revenue. We sorted data for several thousand businesses in Mason
County. Though we vied to screen out duplications, there are still a few
businesses that appear in more than one category.
The column "Probably in HCW' represents businesses with only a
P.O. Box address in our raw dam, no listing in the phone book, and
owners in the phone book who definitely live in the Hood Canal
watershed. We assume that the businesses are probably located in the
owner's home.
The column - Possibly in HCYym includes: 1) Businesses on road
that intersect the Hood Canal watershed boundary when we could not
determine whether the address is inside or outside the watershed. 2)
Businesses listed in both our raw data and the phone box with P.O.
boxes in Belfair or Union.
Datallimitations This report reflects almost all the businesses
operating in the Hood Canal watershed In Mason County. Businesses in
the watershed that may be excluded from this report include: 1)
businesses licensed In care of an owner or parent company located
outside the Hood Canal watershed. 2) some businesses with a Shelton
P.O. box that are in the Hood Canal watershed in an area west of the
Skokomish Reservation,
The category most affected by these limitations appears to be
agriculture (which is not reflected in the following charts). According to
dam from the Mason County Department of Community Development
and Planning that there are 11 farms in the Skokomish Valley. They
represent the vast majority of the agricultural sector for the Hood Canal
watershed in Mason County.

EMPLOYMENT AND PAYROLLS WITHIN SELECTED AREAS OF THE
HOOD CANAL WATERSHED IN MASON COUNTY
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1
This report is based on mw dam supplied by the Labor Market and
Economic Analysis Branch (LMEA) of Washington State Employment
Security. The raw dam was organized into Mason County transportation
zones.
Statewide LMEA dam covers 8596 of total employment. It covers all
employers who pay into the unemployment insurance fund. Excluded
from LMEA data are insurance agents, real estate agents and
salespeople paid on a commission only basis; enrolled students and
family working for a school, religious organizations, employment at
physical and mental rehabilitation workshops, news boys and girls, and
causal labor not in the course of employer's bade or business.
This dam in this report covers transportation zones for three areas that
are totally within the Hood Canal watershed; Tahuya, the Belfair area
and the West of Hood Canal area (which Includes Hoodsport and
Lilliwaup).
This report also covers one area overlapping the watershed boundary.
The transportation zones for the area South of Hood Canal include
Union, Alderbrook, and extend eastward to Lake Devereaux. These
zones also include areas outside the watershed such as the southern
part of the Alderbrook area, Cranberry Lake, Lake Limerick and Mason
Lake. The overwhelming majority of the population and businesses in
these zones are in the Hood Canal watershed.
Excluded from this report are dam for a small part of the Hood Canal
watershed area east of Highway 3 and south of Alm Road.
Also excluded from this report is data for an area whose eastern
boundary crosses the Skokomish Reservation, whose northern boundary
is just north of Potlatch State Park and whose southern and wester
boundaries are the Hood Canal watershed boundary. In order W protect
confidentiality, LMEA will not release dam for this area as there are only
a few businesses. This area Includes the Skokomish Valley. We have
learned from the Mason County Department of Community
Development and Planning that there are 11 farms in the
Skokomish Valley. These farms represent the vast majority of

We do not have sales or payroll values for this area. Washington State
Employment Security data is not currently separated for areas within

There are countywide statistics for the number of businesses In each
category along with their countywide total payrolls. However, there is,
however, no way to know whether a given business in the Hood Canal
watershed would have typical or atypical payroll values compared to
average payrolls for the same types of businesses elsewhere in Jefferson
County. Therefore, we elected not to present countywide statistics in
this report.

CHAPTER 4 LAND AND HOUSING
PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS LVEWIN THE HOOD CANAL
WATERSHED (as of 7/1/94),
This is an overview of information gleaned from interviews with a
number of people, including developers, and information from the
Washington State Department of Ecology. The following data is not
comprehensive.
KITSAP COUNTY:
There were large residential developments, such as Driftwood
Keys, Shorewood, and Fort William Symington created in the 1950's and
1960's. As shown in following reports, there has been tremendous
growth in home construction over the past twenty -five years. Over 100
homes have been constructed in the Seebeck area alone. Unlike much
of Mtsap County, almost all new home construction in the Hood Canal
watershed over the Past twenty -five years has occurred outside of large
Planned developments.
However, within the Hood Canal watershed in Kitsap County there
- are currently several large scale residential developments, in various
stages of planning, including:
abeck:
1) Over the next ten years Cascade Evergreen plans to have
approximately 480 home sites developed in Seebeck. Sites, all
with a view of the Hood Canal, will start at approximately $80,000
(1994 dollars) and homes will probably sell in the neighborhood
of $230,000 (1994 dollars). If waivers allowing one or more
homes per acre are approved, the plan is to develop several 50
acre parks, sensitive land protection and a natural corridor
through the center of the almost 500 acre development. Located
just north and east of the Seebeck Conference Center, the
development is planned to be part of a Public Utility District with
the conference center, a school and 17 other homes in the area
2) Pope Resources is in the process of creating a residential
development in Seebeck with approximately 75 lots.
3) Seebeck Partners has 188 acres just behind Seebeck Conference
Center. This property, originally purchased from Wycoff Timber,
was dear cut over two years ago. Some of this land is being sold
in 20 acre parcels. One of the owners told us that the majority of
this land will.probably become a residential development,
following a five year moratorium.
4) Some people have expressed concern about what will happen to
(continued)
Proposed Residential Development (continued)
State properties in the Seebeck area after they are logged. Will
they be sold and developed? The proposed Draft Management
Plan for Kusap County does not protect these areas as designated
forest lands.
North Kitsap
1) Pope Resources would like to develop a whole new town of
approximately five thousand to six thousand people in Port
Gamble in the next 15 +years. -
2) Pope Resources would like to develop a 99 lot residential
development, Homestead, west. of Hansville.
Suhase Bangor
There are currently 799 family housing units, mostly in 4
plex and 6 plex configurations, on Subase Bangor. There are also
approximately 1500 beds in barracks. Only West Family Housing,
which has 235 family housing units, is actually in the Hood Canal
watershed.
Construction started in Fail '94 on 520 additional family
housing units (mostly townhouses in 4 plexs) in a 100 acre site
new West Family Housing, within the Hood Canal watershed.
Logging is already taking place and these housing units should be
on line by August, 1996. An additional 34 units have been
approved for fiscal year 1996.
If funding is approved an additional 352 family housing
units are proposed for an 85 acre sight adjacent to current
Southeast Family Housing. These 352 units will be outside the
Hood Canal watershed. It is uncertain If this project will be
funded in the next few years.
Jefferson Countv
There is little existing or Proposed large residential developments
in the Hood Canal watershed.
Approximately 86% of land throughoutjefferson County is public
lands and approximately half of private lands is owned by large timber
companies such as Pope and Talbot, Travelers, Georgia Pacific and
Manke. It is estimated that, apart from timber lands, much less than
10% of land In the Hood Canal watershed area is available for private
development.
Though we are not aware of any publicly disclosed plans for
residential developments, timber companies would like the flexibility to
(continued) -
Proposed Residential Development (continued)
be able to create developments on their lands after harvesting. Given
the right mix of zoning, water resources and sewage potentials, this
could mean that in future years there could be large residential
developments in areas such as Coyle.
Port Ludlow, just North of the Hood Canal watershed, is a fast
growing area where a number of residential developments are being
created. Several of our Interviewees anticipate that growth in residential
construction In the Port Ludlow area will spill over to the Hood Canal
watershed. Even development in Port Ludlow outside of the Hood Canal
watershed has impact as much of the runoff eventually goes into the
Hood Canal.
Current plans for residential developments in the Hood Canal
watershed in Jefferson County include:
1) Pacific Fund is planning ahousing development consisting of 21
acre parcels on 1200 acres in Utde Qullcene.
2) Pope Resources is planning for development of 100 lots in the
Teal Ysta (Shine Canyon) area.
3) A partial survey of water rights applications that are pending with
the WA. State Department of Ecology revealed private developer
applications for 17 homes near Shine and 16 homes near
Dosewalipps State Park.
Mason County _
Data from the Mason County Department of Transportation shows
the greatest concentrations of existing homes in the Hood Canal
watershed In Mason County are in the South of Hood Canal areajust
east of Union, the Lynch Cove area, and the Belfair area These are also
the areas with the greatest number of pending water rights applications
for residential developments. There are currently nine applications just
in the Belfair area. We have no idea how many developments are
Planned with wells serving less than three or four residences (bypassing
the need for water rights applications). We also have no idea how many
of the current water rights applications will be approved and how many
of the approved developments will go forward.
Current plans for large residential developments within the Hood
Canal watershed in Mason County include:
1) Jerry Reid of Reid Realty would like to develop 100 units in the
upper Tahuya— Dfendahl Pass area in the next two years.
2) A partial survey of water rights applications that are pending with
the WA. State Department of Ecology included private developer
applications for 200 units near Alderbrook; 86 homes just West of
(continued)
Proposed Residential Development (continued)
Twanoh; 25 to 35 homes just east of Twanoh Falls; an unknown
number of homes on two large sites in Belfair and Lynch Cove; 30
homes in the Belfair /Lynch Cove area; 1. to 36 homes in the
Larson Lake area; 17 homes near Triton; and 75 homes near
Lynch Cove. There were also a number of water rights
applications for 3 to 10 home residental developments (most in
the Belfair area).

The raw dam for this chart came from the Computer Multiple Listing
Service, Inc. in Silverdale, WA. We sorted hundreds of pages of law
dam. Within each multiple listing parcel area only the number of sales
in the Hood Canal watershed are reflected.
There are three limitations to this dam:
1) Only sales through realtors are reflected
2) In order to save many hours labor we did not include parcel area
6 -6. Only avery small area in parcel area 6-6 (which includes Poulsbo) is
In the Hood Canal watershed.
3) This dam does not differentiate between cabins, mobile homes,
and other homes.
In a numerical range the lower number is the number of residential
sales that were definitely in the watershed. The higher number includes
sales that may have been within or outside the watershed (usually on
roads intersecting the boundary).

systems.' They also recharge the ground water aquifers that provide
most of the drinking water in the Hood Canal watershed. Unfortunately,
there are large numbers of failing systems in the Hood Canal
watershed.t A few older systems were actually designed to discharge
directly Into streams, rivers and the Hood Canal. Many failures are due
to persistent overtaxing of systems originally designed for occasional or
recreational usage, and /or improper maintenance. However, most
drainfield failures are due to soils that are inadequate for effective
sewage treatment. The results of these failures include serious public
health risks, particularly after periods of heavy rain when sewage can
seep out of ditches and carry contaminants for great distances.
The soils in large areas of the Hood Canal watershed cannot
support the T of vertical separation (distance between the bottom of
the drainfield trench and the high level of ground water) that
Washington State Department of Health officials believe to be necessary
for adequate sewage treatment. This problem is most acute in the
Southern Kitsap and Belfair areas.s
On January 1, 1995, new sewage treatment regulations go into
effect for new construction and most home sales. These regulations
will require that any less than 2' of vertical separation for septic tank
and dminfleld systems would need concurrence of the Washington State
Depatment Health, based on evidence that resulting treatment
standards will not be compromised (evidence that many experts do not
think exist).
In the Hood Canal watershed in Khsap County many current
systems have only 12 -to 18 -of vertical separation. The soils will not
support 2' or more of vertical separation? Alternative on she systems
Include sand filter systems, mound systems, gravity systems and
aerobic systems. These alternative systems could add up to $12,000 to
the price of most homes and substantially more for some homes built
close to shorelines.s

Water
There are many varied views about potential water resource
limitations; and on the impacts of both wells that get water from
shallow aquifers and wells that get water from the few deep aquifers
existing in the Hood Canal watershed. Some experts believe there are
adequate resources and few potential problems in most of the
watershed. Others state that there we need further study of the size
and interrelationships of shallow aquifers, deep water aquifers, rivers
and lakes in the Hood Canal watershed. In many parts of the Hood
Canal watershed the boundaries of known aquifers, age of ground water
currently being withdrawn, and even the identification of principal
aquifers has not yet taken places
A number of economic and potential health problems have been
created by contamination in some streams, rivers and even parts of the
Hood Canal itself. There are some areas with diminished water levels.
There is anecdotal evidence of a possible 6' drop in water levels in lake
Devereaux since a golf course was built. Many of the people we
interviewed expressed a strong need for further study of water
resources.

CHAPTER 6 EDUCATION
DATA FOR 1993 -94 SCHOOL YEAR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LOCATED WITHIN THE HOOD CANAL WATERSHED
This data is only from public schools located within the Hood
Canal watershed. A few of these schools serve only residents of the
Hood Canal watershed. Most of these schools have enrollment areas
that cross the watershed boundary. Additionally, many schools located
outside the Hood Canal watershed that serve students residing within
the watershed. We present this data in the belief that it provides
interesting comparative profiles from different areas within and close to
the Hood Canal watershed.
This data comes form a Superintendent of Public Instruction
integrated school report for the 1993 -94 school year. Except for total
enrollment, elementary school data is for 4th graders, junior high school
data for 8th graders and high school data for 11th graders.

CHAPTER 7 SUBASE BANGOR
INTRODUCTION:
The Naval Submarine Base Bangor ( SUBASE Bangor) is intersected
by the Hood Canal watershed boundary (Please see map in Boundary
Chapter). The majority of the 6,129.68 acre main site is in the Hood
Canal watershed.
The waterfront operations area, the ship and weapons systems
maintenance facilities and West Family Housing (accommodating
approximately 18 percent of the base residents) are within the Hood
Canal watershed. Also totally within the Hood Canal watershed is the
768 acre Toandos Peninsula Reserve, located across the Hood Canal
from the SUBASE waterfront This area, controlled by the Naval
Undersea Warfare Engineering Station, is currently undeveloped and
functions, in part, as a security perimeter for SUBASE Bangor-
The Southeast section of the SUBASE that Is located outside the
Hood Canal watershed contains all the businesses that operate on the
SUBASE, the majority of family housing, all barracks housing, all
administrative offices, public works, the training facilities, and all
personnel support facilities (such as the community center, counseling .
center, on base medial services and the athletic center).
The SUBASE main site is integrated in terms of function and
design. To confine our profile to the area within the Hood Canal
watershed would provide Incomplete, and perhaps meaningless, data.
We have decided W provide a profile of the entire main base. This is the
only chapter in which we have deliberately chosen to include an area
outside the Hood Canal watershed.
SUBASE BANGOR'S PRIMARY MISSION:
"The general mission of the commands within the SUBASE Bangor
complex is to support and maintain aTRIDENT submarine squadron and
other ships home ported or moored at SUBASE Bangor. The TRIDENT
system, an advanced submarine -based weapon system, provides for
extended operation at sea as a highly survivable and reliable deterrent
to hostilities. The three major components of the TRIDENT system are
the submarines, the missiles and the shore based support site." The
operative word for SUBASE Bangofs primary mission is deterrence.
Source: The above quotation is from Chapter 4, page 7 of an
unpublished document titled "Master Plan Naval Submarine Bangor."
This document was created in 1985 by Richard Carothers Associates,
Seattle, WA.
SUBMARINES:
SUBASE Bangor is the smaller of the two home ports for TRIDENT
Submarines. The other home port is in Kings Bay, Georgia. SUBASE
Bangor is currently the home port for 8 TRIDENT Submarines. Kings Bay,
Georgia is home port for 4 TRIDENT Submarines.
Each TRIDENT Submarine Is S60 feet long (almost as long as the
Seattle Space Needle Is high), and each has four decks. Each submarine
carries 24 TRIDENT 1 Missiles; each missile is 34 feet in length, 6 feet in
diameter, and weighs 71,000 pounds. Each missile has rapacity for
multiple nuclear warheads. Each missile has a range of over 4000
nautical miles. (The submarines home based in Georgia are equipped
with TRIDENT 2 missiles, which are described as "larger and more
sophisticated with even greater capacities than the TRIDENT 1 Missile.*)
Each TRIDENT Submarine is equipped with four torpedo tubes. When In
service, each Submarine carries more fire power than has been used in
all of the wars in human history.
Each TRIDENT Submarine has two crews. Each crew consists of
approximately 160 people. A crew Is usually continuously submerged at
sea for between 70 to 80 days. Following each patrol the crew
participates in an approximately month long refining and supply period.
The first crew then has four months for training and personal leaves
while the second crew takes over.
In addition to the enormous responsibility involved in their
mission, hardships for the crew Include no contact of any kind with
friends or family for ten to twelve consecutive weeks, extremely limited
personal and occupational space, no sunlight for 10 to 12 weeks, no
Pon holes, and no fresh foods (Including fresh fruits or vegetables) after
the first couple of weeks at sea. Nevertheless, all the crew members
volunteer to be at Bangor, and the retention rate is approximately 97%.
In the Fall of 1994 SUBASE Bangor also became the home port for
the USS Parche. The Parche is a Sturgeon Class (688 Class) attack
Submarine. It has one assigned crew of approximately 160 (including
officers and enlisted personnel). Its mission is described by the Public
Affairs Office for SUBASE Bangor as "oceanographic research and other
projects."

Bangor in June 1994; and conversation with Paul Taylor of the SUBASE
Public Affairs Office.

NAFS (Non appropriated funds) refers to positions primarily
funded by revenues as opposed to taxpayer funds. NAFS include some
of the businesses and services on base. Please refer to the Business and
Services section in this chapter.
Johnson Controls World Services Inc. has had the Base Operating
Services Contract (BOSC) since July 2, 1992. The BOSC is a single large
contract covering all services required for base operations. For more
information about the BOSC Contract and Johnson Controls please refer
to the Contracts section in this chapter.
Somme: All the data in the preceding section came from an unpublished
memo titled *Manpower Matrix" It provides the number of personnel in
many categories for activities supported on- station and off- station in
1991. This documentwas provided to me by Mike Denton, Program
Analyst for the Financial Resource Management Department of SUBASE
Bangor.
MILITARY PERSONNEL AND PAYROLLS
In 1991 there were 252 officers and 2,473 enlisted men assigned
to the 16 TRIDENT crews, roughly the same as now. There were also an
additional 249 officers and 2950 enlisted men assigned to activities at
SUBASE Bangor. Some of these assigned activities fall within the broad
categories of training, and weapons and submarine testing and
maintenance. Nine of the officers and 324 of the enlisted personnel
were Marines, who provided security on parrs of the base as one of their
main functions. All other members of the armed services were Navy
Personnel. Included in these 1991 figures were 36 officers and 488
enlisted personnel who were primarily students. -
Thus, the total number of on base military personnel in 1991 were
approximately 501 officers and 5,423 enlisted personnel.
SUBASE Bangor also supports off - station activities at various sites.
Included are some of the activities at the Naval Hospital, the Naval
Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) at Keyport. Engineering -- Facilities
Activity N.W. and the Manpower Analysis Team of the Commander -In-
Chief of the U.S. Fleet Office in Seattle. These off - station activities
supported by SUBASE Bangor included an additional 182 officers and
638 enlisted personnel in 1991.
The estimated combined annual payroll for military personnel
employed on -base and military personnel employed off -base In base.
supported activities was $156,556,000 in 1991. We do not have a 1991
estimate that includes only payrolls for military activities on SUBASE
Bangor.
The only other aggregate military payroll figure we have secured is
that on base military employment generated approximately an
$85,800,000 payroll in fiscal year 1993 (October 10, 1992 to September
30, 1993).

2) The data in the last paragraph came from a one page handout titled
' SUBASE Bangor Financial Fact Sheet.- Paul Taylor of the SUBASE Public
Affairs Office told me that the data was for fiscal Year 1993.
CIVILIAN PERSONNEL AND PAYROLLS:
There are several types of civilian employment on base. There are
permanent civilian employees of the Navy, employees directly under
contract to the Navy, employees of organizations under contract to the
Navy, employees of businesses or services fully or partially subsidized by
the Navy, employees of SUBASE sponsored business supported fully by
user fees and other charges, and employees of private businesses
permitted to operate on base (such as McDonald,).

SUBASE Bangor also has a budget for activities off - station that
included 3077 additional employees (the majority stationed at the Naval
Undersea Warfare Center at Keyport).
The estimated combined civilian annual payroll for base supported
activities (on and off of SUBASE Bangor) was $194,993,000 for FY 1991.
Of the personnel represented In the above figure only approximately
45% were actually employed on -base. The above figure does not include
the estimated $50,796,000 in contractor payrolls estimated for base
supported activities in 1991.
A financial fact sheet released through the NSB Bangor Public
Affairs Office estimates that the FY 1993 SUBASE civilian payroll for
activities on base was approximately $142,900,000. It is not clear if this
estimate Includes all civilian contractor activities.
The estimates of civilian payrolls on SUBASE Bangor are many
times higher than the approximately $26,000,000 in annual payrolls for
the Hood Canal watershed in Kltsap County outside of SUBASE Bangor.

last Paragraph) came from the labor Market and Economic Analysis
Branch of Washington State Employment Security payroll data for the
first quarter of 1992 (see Bus and Employment chapter). I
multiplied the first quarter 1992 wages by four to achieve a very rough
estimate of annual wages in the Hood Canal watershed in Kitsap County,
excluding wages earned on SUBASE Bangor.
CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL AND PAYROLLS
A Base Operating Services Contract (BOSC) is a single large
contract covering all services required for base operations. Since July 2,
1992, the BOSC contractor has been Johnson Controls World Services,
_ Inc. The Johnson Controls contract includes the following functions:
'Operation of utilities systems, maintenance of facilities and structures,
design engineering, subcontract administration, family housing
maintenance, vehicle maintenance and operations, pest control, grounds
maintenance, regulated substance handling, hazardous waste spill
response, supply support and subsistence provisioning, security
services, fire protection and inspection, trash collection, janitorial
services, mall delivery, operation of bachelor quarters and operation of
the base technical reference center.'
The original contract value was for approximately $55 million per
year plus a performance bonus award of up to 5725,000 quarterly. At
some point prior to the following report a budgetary cutback resulted in
a reduction of approximately 60 on -base Johnson Controls employees.
The current year appropriation remains at approximately 555 million.
The number of positions funded through Johnson Controls, Inc at
SUBASE Bangor in 1993 was 900. The distribution of these positions
was as follows:
Public Works (utilities operations, facilities and ground
maintenance, vehicle operations: 545
Protective Services (Security and Fire services): 160
Custodial Services 75
Mail Services 7
All other 113
The annual Johnson Controls, Inc. payroll from their SUBASE
Bangor contract in 1993 was 524.497.000.
In addition to Johnson Controls personnel there are large numbers
of other civilian contractor personnel on base. For instance, there are
several hundred contractor employees working in the TRIDENT Refit
Facility. We were also told there could be as many as 200 independent
contractors on base every day.
The only overall figures we have for the number of Contractor
personnel are from 1991. At that time of the estimated average of
2,035 contractor employees working on base a maximum of 1,093
(approximately 54%) were employed by Johnson Controls, Inc's
predecessor

BUSINESSES AND SERVICES
There are a number of businesses and services on base including a
McDonald's franchise, Kitsap Bank, Kitsap Federal Credit Union, the
Commissary (operated by Defense Commissary Agency N.W.); Navy
Exchange Bangor (operated by the Nary Exchange Service Center in San
Diego) and activities operated through SUBASE Bangor Morale, Welfare
and Recreation (MWR).
MWR's businesses and services include an athletic complex,
community center, youth activities, a latch key program, child -
development/family home care services (day care), an auto hobby shop,
Trident lakes recreational sites, a car wash, RV /Boat storage, household
goods storage, an animal care resale store; the base theater, an athletic
pro shop, a travel office, and a 16 lane bowling center with snack bar.
MWR businesses also include restaurant, nightclubs and catering
services such as 48" North, the Food Court (Parcheezi Pizza, Cactus
Cantina, Oscars American Grill), The Razers: Club; Acey Deuey lounge .
and the Khaki Club..
There are also other personnel services on base, such as the Naval
Hospital branch at Bangor, the Naval Dental Clinic, and career
counseling.
We have personnel and sales data for the Nary Exchange,
Commissary Bangor's McDonalds, and some MWR businesses and
services as follows:
McDonalds
McDonalds has entered into a contract with the Naval Exchange to pay a
percentage of profits for the right to sell their product on SUBASE
Bangor. At the end of 1993 the McDonalds on SUBASE Bangor had 96
employees. Approximately 40 were full -time employees and the
remainder were part-time employees. Their total sales volume at the
SUBASE McDonald's franchise totaled $1,162,000 in 1993.

Total gross sales for 1993 was 518,592,000
Total gross sales for 1994 was $17,960,000
The Commissary Is operated by The Defense Commissary Agency.
Goods are sold at cost plus a 5% surcharge. The surcharge covers the
costs of building construction and some other non personnel overhead
costs.
As of February 1995, there were 52 federal civilian employees in
the Commissary. They are paid through appropriated funds. There are
16 full -time employees and the remainder of the 52 Federal employees
are part -time. Additionally there are some comract and vendor
employees. There are also baggers, who are remunerated only through
tips.
Bangor Morale. Welfare and Recreation
The MWR is responsible for 36 activities in 7 divisions. MWR had
317 employees as of June 1994. The salaries of 74 of these employees
were fully taxpayer funded. The salaries of 239 employees were paid by
revenues generated though user fees and charges (NAFS). Only 45 of
the 239 NAF employees were full -time, 179 were flexible employees
(they worked up to 40 /hours a week and had benefits), and the
remainder were part -time employees.
There are three categories of MWR services based on funding
sources.
Category A: Mission Fssential. Activities (such as the portion of
athletic funding used by military personnel). Mission essential activities
are funded 100% through appropriated (taxpayer) funds.
Category B. Community Support Activities (such as arts and
crafts, child care and youth services). Community support activities are
tax- supported up to a level around 70% of cost — the balance being paid
through user fees and charges.
Category C: Business Activities — supported primarily by user fees
and charges, these activities are only directly or indirectly taxpayer
supported to the extent of provision of space and some landlord type
relationships. Some of the businesses Included in this category are
restaurants, the veterinary clinic, the movie theater, the bowling alley
and the travel office.
(continued)
10
Businesses and Services (continued from previous page)
The total revenues generated by all MWR activities in Fiscal '94 was
approximately 55.4 million. Approximately S2 million was appropriated
funds. Approximately 75% of appropriated funds went to Category A
activities and 25% to Category B activities. No appropriated funding was
used for the category C activities. Approximately 52.5 million was
income generated from local fees and charges and $.SM was generated
from the SUBASE Nary Exchange. Another way of looking at MWR
revenue is that in 1993 approximately $800,000 was generated by
Category A activities, $1.2 million by Category B activities, and 52.7
million by Category C activities.
Some FY 93 MWR approximate gross income figures include
"l.azers" $1,600,000; Food Court 5270,000, bar $80,000 and lounge
CPO, $110,000.
The approximately $5.4 million- revenue for MWR activities in fiscal
year 1994 resulted in only an approximately $8,000 profit. Since the
end of the fiscal year there has been loss of four positions as a result
of slight revenue losses. Some MWR expenses include MWR's required
payment of a share of the BOSC Contract (for fire and safety), payment
of metered utilities, higher than prevailing community wages for the
majority of positions, FICA, and approximately 2/3 of health benefits
(the balance paid for by employees who desire more than the basic
coverage package).
Banks
Kitsap County Bank and the Kitsap Federal Employees Credit Union both
operate on lands leased from the Navy. Their current leases expire in
2005. If either lease is not renewed the facilities can be purchased by
the government for one dollar.

DEMOGRAPHIC DATA FOR RESIDENTS OF SUBASE BANGOR
From 1990 Census
The following census data for SURASE Bangor does notovedap
with census data presented for the Hood Canal watershed in Kitsap
County within other chapters. As less than 19 %of SUBASE Bangor's
residents live within the Hood Canal watershed, census data for SURASE
Bangor was not included in the census data presented in other chapters.
Currently approximately 21% of the military personnel assigned to
SUBASE Bangor live in the barracks an base. Another 34 %of the
military personnel live in family housing on base. Approximately 45% of
military personnel live in off base community housing. -
In 1991, shortly after the 1990 census, there were approximately
5,924 military personnel employed on SUBASE Bangor. These personnel -
had 9,260 dependents (including 3,658 dependents of submarine crew
members). The 1990 census indicated that in 1990 there werel 385
people living in military barracks on SUBASE Bangor and 3925 people
(792 families) living in family housing on base. The number of people
living on base in 1990 was less than 30% of the number of military .
personnel employed on base and their dependents. In reality, some of
the military personnel assigned to SURASE Bangor live in military family
housing off base and approximately 30% to 40% of the families living on
SUBASE Bangor are families of military personnel who work at Klmap
County locations other than SUBASE Bangor. Only the people who
actually lived on SUBASE Bangor are reflected in the following 1990

HOUSING ON SUBASE BANGOR
Rough estimates of current SUBASE Bangor military personnel are
that 21 %live in barracks, 34% in military family housing and 45% in
private community housing. Approximately 71% of military family are In
pay grades E6 and below, receiving housing allowances between
approximately 5450 /month and 5700 /month. In a county with high
rents and low vacancy rates this results in long commutes or separation
from families for many military personnel who do not live in military
housing..
Currently family housing on SUBASE Bangor has a population of
799 families and approximately 2,687 people. They live mostly in 4-
plexes or 6- plexes). There are approximately 702 people living in West
Family Housing and 1985 people living in South East Family Housing.
Roughly 30% to 40% of the families living on base are families of military
personnel who work in locations other than SUBASE Bangor.
There were 1,137 enlisted military personnel and 52 military
officers livings in Naval barracks on SUBASE Bangor as ofjune 1, 1994.
These barracks encompass 50 building wings. In addition there are also
approximately 280 Marines living in Marine barracks on base. They
represent approximately 70% of the just under 400 Marines assigned to
duty on SUBASE Bangor.
There are an additional 28 units controlled by SUBASE Bangor in
Kingston and Winslow.
An additional 520 housing units (mostly 4 -plex townhouses)
should be completed by August 1996. Logging is currently raking place
in a 100 acre parcel adjacent to West Family. There are an addition 34
units budgeted for FY 1996 in West Family Housing.
An additional 352 family housing units have been proposed for
SURASE Bangor on an 85 acre site near Southeast Family Housing.
Funding has not been approved for this project.
There are currently an additional 170 family housing units under
construction in Jackson Park, near Bremerton (outside SUBASE Bangor).
Currently approximately 20% of all military personnel working in
Kitsap County live in military housing. With current military populations,
it is anticipated that if all countywide planned military housing secures
funding that figure will increase to 27%. Following down sizing on some
other Naval bases, the number of military personnel assigned to SUBASE
Bangor will increase over the next several years. There is no way to
17
Housing on SUBASE Bangor (continued from previous page)
accurately anticipate the size of that increase. There are some educated
guesses that housing will be required for an additional 1000 to 2000
families over the next flve years.
There are currently approximately 1300 military personnel in
Kitsap County on the waiting list for £amity housing.

PHYSICAL PLANT AND UTIUTIES
Physical Plant
On SUBASE Bangor there are approximately 480 buildings
(excluding family housing) which comprise almost four million square
feet SUBASE family housing consists of an additional 254 buildings with
a total of 1,334,648 square feet.
On SUBASE Bangor there are 106 miles of water lines, 73 miles of
electrical lines, 54.7 miles of telephone lines and 36 miles of sanitary
sewer lines.
Sege;
There are over one million gallons of raw sewage generated on
base every day. Sewage is treated at KiUap County's Brownsville Sewage
Plant and Is subsequently deposited in Dye Inlet. The Brownsville plant
is currently able to process two million gallons a day. Projected growth
on base and in the community will require the plant to upgrade its
Processing capacities.
On base there are oil /water separators at each pier facility and for
discharge into the extensive SUBASE storm drain system. There is no.
likely waste discharge from either SUBASE Bangor or the submarines Into
the Hood Canal.
Water:
Much of the surface water on SUBASE Bangor is contaminated.
Much of this contamination results from munitions handling and on
base hazardous waste disposal practices (burning, detonation and direct
disposal) between the early 1940's and 1977. Most base property is on
the EPA's national priorities list. There are twenty-two contaminated or
potentially contaminated sites on SUBASE Bangor. There are many active
projects to evaluate hazardous waste area reclamation and water quality.
One project alone has 50 to 60 employees.
On SUBASE Bangor there is a sea level aquifer outflowing at Delta
Pier, producing 4000 gallons a minute: The base also sits on top of one
of the two biggest deep water aquifers in- Kitsap County. (The other
large deep water aquifer is located under Seebeck). There are four wells,
approximately 324' deep, Into this aquifer. This aquifer produces 1100
gallons of water per minute. Water quality is continually tested and this
has proved a good source of quality drinking water. Most on base and
off base experts we spoke with do not believe that water usage on
M
Physical Plant and Utilities (continued from previous page)
SUBASE Bangor has arty impact off of the base. Some off base
professionals believe that the Issue deserves further study as little is
known about the relation between deep water aquifers and other water
resources. They suspect that increasing water usage on SUBASE Bangor
may possibly effect water levels in other areas.
Utilities
:
Electricity is provided by the Bonneville Power Administration.
There is also limited generating capacity on base. Much of the electric
utilities operations fall under the BOSC Contract.
Cascade Natural Gas has a ten year contract to operate on SURASE
Bangor. In nine years; at the expiration of the current contract, their
real property on base, including gas lines and easements, is to be
transferred to the base. The base can then continue to secure gas from
'Cascade Natural Gas or select a new natural gas provider.
Telephone services are provided through contract with United
Telephone and Americal. The United Telephone Company operates on
land leased from the Navy for five year periods. If the lease is not
renewed the its facilities can be bought by the government for one
dollar.
Fire and Safety:
Provided through BOSC Contract.
The SUBASE participates in a mutual aid agreement among three
neighboring fire districts. Included are resources planning, consultation
and marshaling of resources in the event of a major fire. The base also
is able to provide to major oil spills and acid spills both on -base and In
the greater community..
Recycling Program:
SUBASE Bangor has an extensive recycling program. There is an
on -base drop off recycling center that has an on site attendant 24 hours
a day (accepting 10 different commodities). Each family housing
resident has weekly curbside recycling on the same day as trash pickup.
Recyclable Industrial and office waste are also collected, including
submarine waste. In FY 1992 the waste returned to productive use was
4.5 million pounds and generated $100,00 for environmental and
recreational projects on base. There is also an area where grass

NATURAL RESOURCES:
I would encourage the reader to consider avisit to SUBASE Bangor.
The SUBASE appears designed to have Its many buildings blend into and
not overwhelm the natural environment. 'Developed military facilities
occupy less than 10% of the base. Sixty -five percent of the base is
managed as commercial forestlands."
Tim r,
Coniferous and deciduous forests cover over sixty percent of
SUBASE Bangor. The SUBASE forest management plan is based on a 100
year rotation. The SUBASE forest management plan goal is to harvest
approximately one percent of the forestevery year. The would result in
a cut of approximately one million board feet per year. An plan is to.
harvest the oldest stands first The harvested areas are generally
restocked with Douglas -fir seedlings.
Recent harvests include 139,000 board -feet, in May 1990 (sold for
540,113); 59,000 board -feet, injure 1990 (sold for $9,978); 391,000
board -feet, in April 1991 (sold for $177,334); 10,000 board -feet, in April
1992 ( (sold for $850); 15,000 board -feet, in August 1992 (sold for
$2,100); 380,000 board -feet, in December 1992 (sold for S202,870);
586,000 board -feet, in Apol 1993 (sold for 5435,125) and 37,000
board -feet ins July 1993 (sold for $7,500).
Currently over 100 acres are In the process of being harvested to
clear land for new housing near Southwest Family Housing.
Lakes and wetlands;
There are approximately 152 acres of wetlands and 135 to 140
acres of water on three SUBASE lakes. In addition to hazardous waste
area reclamation and activities related to water quality, there are plans
and activities geared to wetland preservation.
Snecies Management,
Blacktailed deer is the primary game species found on base. The
goal is to maintain a population of between 300 and 400 animals of
.these animals. Among the many other species on SUBASE Bangor are

wild turkeys that have been reintroduced to the area through a SUBASE
program.
Fish:
The following fish enhancement dam is from an unpublished
document titled 'Master Plan Naval Submarine Bangor.' It was originally
created in 1985 and updated in the late 1980s:
1) A concrete fish ladder was constructed in 1981 to allow passage of
anadromous fish between Devil's Hole take and Hood Canal.
2) Between 1981 and 1987, approximately 130,000 Coho Salmon were
released from a SUBASE hatchery.
3) There was an effort from 1987 to 1992 to reinstate a viable Coho run
from SUBASE Bangor into the Hood Canal.
4) In 1988, 200,000 Coho eggs were hatched and raised at the SUBASE
hatchery.
Devil's Hole, Cattail Lake and Trident Lake all support significant
recreational trout fisheries. Trident Lakes has been stocked with
rainbow trout on a put and take basis since 1981
In July, 1986 there were an estimated SUBASE population of
approximately 550,00 oysters. From 1983 through the end of the
decade, recreational harvests averaged 42,000 oyster per year.

CHAPTER 8
PORT GAMBLE S'KLALLAM
RESERVATION
• Prior to the 1930's the United States Government attempted to
unite Port Gamble S'Klallam people with Skokomish people on the
Skokomish Reservation. However, Port Gamble S'Klallam people kept
leaving the Skokomish Reservation area and returning to their native
area. The Port Gamble S'Klallam Reservation was finally created in the
1930s. This Pon Gamble S'Klallam tribal area is known to its
inhabitants as Little Boston. We will use the term Little Boston
interchangeably with Port Gamble S'Klallam Reservation for the balance
of this report.
When Little Boston was created, tribal members had seen the
erosion of the percentage of Indian owned land on other reservations
(including the Skokomish Reservation) where allotments of land were
made to individual tribal members. After a number of years individual
tribal members could sell their land, to Indians or non - Indians. As a
result of land sales to non- Indians, many Northwest reservations were
reduced in size, and some were nearly decimated.
In order to avoid the negative consequences of such allotment
practices, from the outset Little Boston has been 100% trust land. All
the reservation land is owned by the tribe, and there is no individual
ownership of any reservation land.
Demographics
As of March 1995 there are 862 enrolled tribal members. There
are 386 enrolled tribal members actually living in Little Boston. There
are an additional 151 enrolled tribal members who live outside the
reservation in Kitsap County. There are 325 enrolled tribal members
who live outside of Kitsap County.'
The tribe owns a mobile home park located on the reservation.
As of March 1995, there are 176 people living on rented property in the
park. The majority of households are families. Few of these, if any, are
Indian.
The 1990 census showed a population of 553 people living in
Little Boston. A March 1995, there are 552 people, according to a tribal
survey. The population ratio of Indians to non - Indians currently living
on the reservation is close to that reflected in the following chart from
the 1990 census.

• Income
The per capita income of Indian people who lived in Little Boston in
1989 . was $5,930. The per Capita income for non - Indian people who
lived in Little Boston in 1989 was $9,085. In contrast, 1989 per capita
income for'WhiW people in the Hood Canal watershed in KRsap County
was $17,127.2 Please refer to page 13 of the Census chapter for a -
complete breakdown of per capita income by area and ethnicity.
Per capita income is the aggregate income of a population divided
by the number of people (including dependents) in the population -
Individuals with extremely high or extremely low incomes can significant
impact the per capita . income figure for an entire population. Therefore,
there may be many families living in Little Boston whose per capits .
income may be significantly lower than the above figures.

Unemployment rates among Indians living in Little Boston has
often exceeded 50 percent. According to Bruce Williams,. the tribal
fisheries manager, there are 192 tribal members (including people who
live off the reservation) who have tribal fishing licenses. He estimates
that most of these people probably earn less than S7,000 to
52,000 /year from all finfish and shellfish activity.

As of March 1995, only 14 to 20 tribal members work at the Pope
and Talbot Paper Mill in Port Gamble. Many of these people are
discouraged by frequent shutdowns and layoffs.
The tribal government currently employs approximately 80 people.
Federal funding accounts for approximately 55% of the funding for tribal
.government. Most of the employees are tribal members. The annual
Payroll is approximately $1,500,000 per year. Approximately 30 people
work in the health clinic, including physicians, physician assistants,
nurses, in -home care workers, mental health counselors, youth workers
and substance abuse counselors. Tribal government also includes a pre-
school, Head Start, tribal police and tribal governance. The fire
department is avolunteer department, with many services contracted to
other local fire departments.
• (continued)
Business and Occupations (continued from previous page) •
The combination tribal store and gas station has annual sales of
approximately $1,500,000.
A major tribal enterprise is the development of the Salish business
park, on 25 commercially zoned acres. It will contain ten to twelve tribal
and non tribal businesses or industries that are deemed to be compatible
with community values. The project has secured financing.
Groundbreaking will occur in Spring, 1995. It is anticipated that this
venture will create approximately 150 new jobs.
A current project, providing temporary employment ro many tribal
members, is the development of a septic system effluent pump. The
Clean Water Act of 1987 awarded one half of one percent of EPA sewer
construction funds to Indian lands. In 1988 $1,000,000 was granted to
the Port Gamble SWIallam Reservation for construction of a STEP (septic
tank effluent pump) system. Currently there is a $1,900,000 projectto
connect an effluent pump to the line. Previously, individual drain fields
have mused considerable cliff erosion on the reservation, especially at
the Hood Canal coast line. This new system will pump effluents from
residences and businesses to a common area with a large series of drain
fields on optimum ground.
The tribe also runs Its own water system — including community
wells and a concrete reservoir.
Following 18 months of study, in February 1995 the tribal
leadership gave unanimous permission to develop gaming enterprises on
the reservation. Construction of a center featuring bingo and other
gaming activities could be completed by early 1996. Possibly as many as
120 new jobs will be created in gaming activities, security and food
services. It is anticipated that any tribal member who needs ajob should
be able to have one.

• Education
Pre school and early child education is offered for tribal members
on the reservation. Kindergarten through 12th grade education is not
offered by the tribe. Port Gamble 5'Klallam children Irving in little Boston
— attend kindergarten through twelfth grade in schools in public schools in
the greater community. These schools are reimbursed approximately
$200,000 per year by the Federal Government
It is hard for many reservation residences to find the time and
money for off - reservation higher education. The Evergreen State College
and North West Community College offer some college level classes on
the reservation.

SKOKOMISH RESERVATION
0
• The Skokomish Tribal Reservation consists of 4987 acres
(approximately 7.5 square miles) in the Skokomish River delta area of
Mason County. The Skokomish River flows through Reservation lands
for approximately six miles, and the Reservation also features about
three and one -half miles of shoreline on Hood Canal.
As late as 1880 a federal government census found that the
Skokomish Tribe owned 2550 acres of land within the Reservation and
40 acres outside. However, in 1887 Congress passed the Dawes Act,
which reduced Native American land holdings in reservations and tribal
sovereignty over reservation lands. The Act also dictated that most of
the Reservation was to be allotted to each of the enrolled tribal
members in parcels of about 40 acres each. The Reservation land
remaining after completion of this original allotment was then sold to
non - Indians by the U.S. government, who also actively encouraged tribal
members to sell their Individual allotments to non - Indians. Because the
original allotments went to private individuals within the Skokomish
Tribe and not to the Tribe as a whole, no legal means existed to prevent
the gradual erosion of the Tribe's holdings within the Reservation. In
fact, this erosion is exactly what occurred until the Indian
Reorganization Act of 1934 reduced this trend toward °alienation" of
Skokomish Tribal lands and increased the power of tribal governments
• in general.
Nonetheless, today only about 3% of the land on the Skokomish
Reservation is included in the Tribal Trust Lands- -i.e., lands that are
owned by the Tribe as a whole. Of the remaining land, about 57% is
"allotted" land (remaining from the original allotments to Tribal
members) and 40% is "alienated" land (owned by persons who are not
members of the Skokomish Tribe - -see fig.1). Some of the individual
parcels of "alienated° lands are quite large - -up to 300 acres. It should
be noted that the pattern of land ownership on the Skokomish
Reservation is subject to change. That is, while the Trust lands can not
be sold away to non - Indians, the allotted lands belonging to individual
members of the Tribe are vulnerable to such transactions; likewise,
alienated lands may be purchased by the Tribal Trust, and allotted lands
may either be purchased by the Tribe or acquired through "exchange
assignments" (voluntary transfers of individual interests in exchange for
the right to live on the same or comparable land). Involuntarily
transferring their heirship interests to the Tribe, individuals would
prevent the possibility of either condemnation by the government
(federal or state) or purchase by non - Indians.

One problematic feature of the land base on the Skokomish
Reservation is the long - standing aggradation of the Skokomish River
bed. As the flow -rate of the river has decreased in the wake of
Cushman Dams construction, the siltation -rate in the Skokomish delta
has increased. In other words, because the river has less force now
than it used to, a lot more river -borne sediment gets deposited in the
delta area (where the Reservation is situated), thereby filling in flow •
channels and forcing the water out of them. Thus, the Skokomish River
tends to flood more easily and "pond" over a larger area than before.
There are two major consequences resulting from this tendency.
First, the amount of swampland in the delta is increasing (thus reducing
the amount of buildable acreage); second, the water table is rising and
thus threatening the already - tenuous quality of septic systems in the
delta area. In order to avoid further environmental and economic
damages from continued aggradation of the river -bed, the Tribe is
lobbying - -as an "intervener" In the current Cushman Dam relicensing
negotiations - -for increased flow rates in the Skokomish River. Tribal
officials feel that an increase in the river's flow rate would not only help
to reverse the trend toward aggradation, but they also anticipate that
increased flow rates would facilitate the restoration of badly-damaged
salmon runs on the Skokomish, thereby also contributing to improved
economic sustenance among tribal members.

• Demographics
The 1990 U.S. Census contains a block numbering area (BNA)
whose boundaries are the Skokomish Reservation boundaries. In 1990
the Census found a total of 614 people living on the Reservation. Of
this number, only 7096 were Native American, about 29% were whites,
and less than one percent were Asians. (see fig.2).
As of April 1995, the Skokomish Tribe lists 715 enrolled
members. About 430 of these live on the Reservation itself, and most
of the rest live in nearby areas of Mason County. Some enrolled
members, however, live as far away as California, and a handful live in
other areas of Washington State. Nearly 48% of enrolled Skokomish
Tribe members are under the age of 18, a figure which has dramatic
implications for future decisions regarding the allocation of social,
health, and educational services. Tribal members are split about evenly
between male and female.

the Tribal trust. The remaining members live in private housing on both
allotted parcels and trust lands. All of these housing units rely on •
septic systems for wastewater treatment, but many of these systems
have not been maintained and serviced regularly owing primarily to
financial limitations.
Income
Aided by a grant from the Indian Health Service the Skokomish
Tribe conducted a random survey of enrolled tribal members In 1992
and 1993. Out of 234 tribal households 210 households lived on or
near the reservation. Of these 210 households, 150 were randomly
selected to be surveyed. Surveys were actually completed for 129
households, approximately 71% of which were located on the Skokomish
Reservation. Figure 3, showing the relation of household Income and
the federal poverty level, is from survey data.

Business and Occupations
Unfortunately, there are no reliable data on employment patterns
among enrolled members of the Skokomish tribe. We did not include
occupational data from the 1990 Census as it lumps data for Skokomish
5
people with data for the almost 200 non Indians living on the •
Reservation.
Anecdotal information suggests that between 60 and 80 people
are employed in Tribal Government, primarily In the delivery of social,
educational, and health services. virtually all of the funding for these
services comes from federal government grants and contracts -- primarily
the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Health Service, and the
Department of Health and Human Services --with additional funds
coming from Washington State and from grant programs sponsored by
non -profit foundations, such as the Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment.
In years past, significant Individual income in the Tribe came from
fishing. The Tribal Fisheries Manager is empowered to supervise
harvests, habitat maintenance, and regulations enforcement with regard
to tribal commercial fisheries. The Manager has also been involved with
non - treaty fisheries and ceremonial and subsistence fishing among
tribal members. However, the long -term decline of salmon runs M the
Hood Canal watershed has forced most commercial fishers within the
Tribe to abandon this as a full -time occupation (see also Finfish and
Shellfish chapter).
Currently, a substantial amount of revenue to the Tribe comes
from the Twin Totems Store and Deli located along Highway 101. Tribal
officials estimate that the Store generates approximately 51.6 million in
sales revenues per annum, and an expansion of this facility is currently
being planned.
In addition, the Tribe has recently negotiated a gaming compact
with Washington State and plans to build a casino in the area. The
Tribe is presently conducting market studies with regards to developing
the casino operation, and four specific sites are being investigated for
feasibility.
Education
Please refer to information about the tribal survey under 'Income"
on page four of this chapter. When asked what the highest educational
level attained by a household member was, 48% of survey respondents
said "some college," 28% indicated that the person with the greatest
amount of education in the household had finished high school or a
GED, and 24% reported that the person with the greatest amount of •
education had not finished high school or a GED. Only about 5% of all
• responding households reported that someone in the household had
finished college (see fig.5).
HIGHEST EDUCATIONAL LEVEL ATTAINED .

HM wColNge
:Iw
Primary- school -aged children from the Tribe attend the Hood
Canal School, which is located on the Reservation near the intersection
of U.S. 101 and S.R. 106. However, Skokomish social and educational
services personnel estimate that at least 60% of children from the
Skokomish Tribe drop out of school by the 10th grade. Thus, most
Skokomish school children are not acquiring the kinds of intellectual
and technical skills increasingly sought by employers in both private
industry and the public sector. When considered in light of the fact that
close to half of enrolled Skokomish tribal members are below the age of
18, the dropout rate is especially alarming.
A number of reasons for the high dropout rate have been
suggested. Especially important is the fact that the standardized
curriculum does not take Into account important cultural differences
between white and Native American kids. Some educators have
observed that Skokomish children tend to be more right- hemisphere
dominant than white children, possibly for cultural reasons. Thus, the
learning styles of Skokomish children may respond more favorably to
holistic educational approaches that combine intellectual growth with
emotional and cultural inputs. Because Skokomish children may not
respond favorably to the standardized school curriculum, they may tend
• to be labeled as less intelligent or less motivated than their white peers.
Thus, they are also more apt to find the public education process
unrewarding or even painful than other children, which. helps In pan to •
account for the high dropout rate among Skokomish children. Other
factors that may contribute as well are a relatively high staff turnover
rate at Hood Canal School and the difficult social and educational
transition between the eighth and ninth grades ii.e., from middle school
to high school).
A number of programs (funded by the State of Washington) have
been implemented to help remedy this situation. First, under the
Habitat program selected school -aged children are invited to work with
adults in the Tribe's natural resources programs (e.g., water and
fisheries). These children acquire valuable "real world" experience in
these vital areas, possibly spurring interest in obtaining further
academic or career - training education. Furthermore, working In these
fields also stimulates growth in intellectual and social skills for these
children. Second, the Tribe also offers a GED prograrn at the Skokomish
Tribal Center where people can complete their GEDS under the
supervision of certified teachers. In addition, the Tribe has developed a
Choice program in which primary school children receive their basic
education within a more holistic structure that recognizes the Important
learning -style differences evidenced among Skokomish school children.
Finally, the Tribe also provides a vocal rehabilitation program in which
approximately fifteen enrollees learn basic and Intermediate skills in
electronics, mechanics, and other work - related areas. These programs
have not been studied systematically enough to assess their
effectiveness with sufficient accuracy, but anecdotal evidence suggests
that they may be making some inroads into the educational and
vocational training gaps among Skokomish children and young adults.

FINFISHAND SHELLFISH

• FINFISH AND SHELLFISH
In this chapter we will present data that offer a profile of the
economic impact of the fishing industries upon the Hood Canal
economy. Most of the harvest numbers come from the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife (formerly the Department of Fisheries).
The business and employment figures come from the Washington State
Department of Revenue, the Labor Market and Economic Analysis
branch (LMEA) of the Washington State Employment Security
Department, the Shellfish Section of the Washington State Department
of Health, the Planning Departments in Mason and Kitsap Counties, the
Jefferson County Assessor's Office, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Additional information comes from the Pacific Coast Oyster Growers
Association (PCOGA), a private industry group.
As with much of the data that we present elsewhere in our report,
the numbers offered here vary somewhat in terms of how closely they
approximate the economic realities we are trying to portray. The main
reason for this is that each agency collects and sorts data in different
ways -- different geographic units, different time frames, different
assumptions for the purposes of estimating certain values, and so forth.
Accordingly, in order to help the reader understand the data more fully
we will highlight such differences as we present the data.
Finally, we present the information in this chapter in the
following - sections: first, relevant business and employment
information; second, commercial finfish and shellfish harvest data;
and third, recreational finfish and shellfish harvest and user data
(and some economic ramifications of these data).
•
Business and Employment •
Some of this information was also presented in the Business
chapter. In the Klmap County portion of the Hood Canal watershed
there are 14 firms involved in "Fishing and Related Services." The
Planning Department in Kitsap County bases this number on land -use
data, which thus excludes businesses and services that operate on land
whose primary designation is residential. This data also does not
suggest how large or small each of the businesses is, nor the specific
products and services each provides. The figures for Jefferson County
are for a more specific category , "Fish /Shellfish Processing." They too
are based solely on land -use data from the Assessors Office. In the
Jefferson County portion of the Hood Canal watershed, 4 firms are
shown to be involved in "Fish /Shellfish Processing' lastly, the
business information for Mason County- -which is based on business
license listings from the Washington State Department of Revenue - -is
the most detailed of all. Here we find 8 firms "definitely" within the
Hood Canal watershed involved in "Commercial Fishing; with as many
as 4 others "possibly" within the watershed (one of these 4 firms is
"probably" in the Hood Canal watershed). An additional 14 Mason
County firms - -all "definitely" within the Hood Canal watershed - -are listed
as fish and seafood wholesalers, although this listing does not specify
that these companies process only fish harvested within the Hood Canal
watershed. By putting all of these figures together, we come up with an
aggregate figure of 40 firms inside the Hood Canal watershed that
are involved in the fishing industry at a primary level -- harvesting,
processing, or wholesaling - -with 4 additional firms that are possibly
inside the Hood Canal watershed.
Here we should mention some of the limitations of this data.
First, the land -use data from county assessors is not sensitive to cases
where property may have more than one "use" Thus, small growers or
harvesters operating out of private homes will not be indicated if the
primary designated use of the property is "residential.- Second, the
licensing data from the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR)
is disaggregated only by "Incorporated" and "unincorporated" areas.
Thus, for Mason County, where the only 'incorporated* area is Shelton,
DOR does not separate economic data pertaining to firms within the
Hood Canal watershed from data on firms outside the watershed;
rather, they separate firms based in the Shelton area from those based
outside of this area. Consequently, all of our business data
disaggregation for Mason County had to be done *by hand; as it were- -
using detailed maps, company addresses, and telephone books to
Identify firms operating within the watershed. The reader will perceive •
at once how labor - intensive and potentially darn - insensitive this is.
Because EMEA lumps fishing industry workers with those in agriculture
• and forestry, their data are not very useful for determining how many
people are employed by those 40 fishing-related firms in the Hood
Canal watershed.
. However, using techniques developed by Radtke et al (1988,
1993; cited in the USFS's Forest Ecosystem Management, P. VI -30), we
can use harvest data to estimate the number of people employed in the
regional fisheries Industry. These authors found that the Northwest
fishing industry sustains an estimated .041 jobs for every $1000 of "fish
landings" Thus, our estimated Hood Canal annual average of $5.1
million in fish landings for 1989 through 1991 yields a figure of roughly
210 jobs directly related to fishing in the Hood Canal watershed
regional economy (see harvest data below). For commercial shellfish
production in western Washington, the Pacific Coast Oyster Growers -
Association estimates that there is approximately one industry worker
for every $36,900 worth of harvested product. Using this estimator and
an average annual Hood Canal commercial shellfish aggregate value of
52.52 million (for 1989- 1991), we calculate that about 70 jobs are
directly related to the commercial shellfish economy in the Hood
Canal watershed economy. -
The Washington State Department of Health's Annual Inventory of
Commercial and Recreational Shellfish Areas in Puget Sound offers
reliable estimates of the number of commercial shellfish growers in the
Hood Canal watershed, As of December 1994, the Department of
Health (DOH) reported, 37 growers were operating on Hood Canal in
Jefferson County, 7 growers were on the Canal in Kitsap County
(although 3 are in Seebeck Bay, which is classified by the DOH as
"Prohibited" owing to contamination from Seabeck Marina), and 39 were
operating on the Hood Canal in Mason County (7 of these are in a
"Prohibited" zone on the South Shore of Hood Canal). Thus, excluding
those growers in areas currently classified as "Prohibited; a total of 73
commercial shellfish growers are operating on Hood Canal.
Obviously, some of these are very small firms, but a number of them are
large and extremely important in the shellfish industry as awhole.
•
Commercial Harvest Information: •
Most of the information in this section comes from reports
provided by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife - -a
"Harvest -By- Species" computer printout and the annual Fisheries
Statistical Report. The commercial data in both reports is generated by
Washington State law, which requires that commercial fishers "sell their
catch to a licensed wholesale dealer (1991 Fisheries Statistical Report,
i). During such transactions the dealer must enter certain information
onto a receiving ticket -- including relevant catch dates, the dealer's ID
number, the fisher's ID number, the relevant catch area numbers,
species Involved, catch numbers, catch pounds, and dollar values. Fish
and Wildlife then enters the data from these receiving tickets Into their
computer system for storage, sorting, and retrieval.
The "contained" nature of fishing areas within the Hood Canal
watershed. -I sh are harvested only from waters that are easily
identifiable as "within the watershed " - -made the task of disaggregating
this harvest data far easier than, say, accomplishing the same task for
timber harvest data. In fact, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has
already done this for us - -with one exception. DFW divides Hood Canal
below the Hood Canal Bridge into three "management and reporting •
areas" but lumps the extreme northern end of the Canal into a catch
area -- labeled 42H (specifically for aquaculture harvests) or 25C (for non-
aquaculture fisheries)- -which also includes Port Ludlow, Mats Mats Bay,
and a portion of Puget Sound outside Hood Canal proper. Catch area 9
(specifically for commercial salmon harvests) includes Hood Canal north
of the Bridge, but also all of Admiralty Inlet as well as Puget Sound from
the south end of Whidbey Island all the way to Edmonds. Within these
catch area designations data reflecting harvests from Inside the
watershed are confounded with those from outside the watershed.
Therefore, we exclude data from catch areas 25C, 42H, and 9. Some
data from area 9A (Port Gamble Bay) will be included in the last section
of this chapter. The reader should bear in mind that virtually all of the
data in this report are for catch and management areas south of the
Hood Canal Bridge (See Appendix for maps showing relevant catch and
management areas).
Catch weights from these records are given in "numbers of fish"
(including shellfish), "round pounds" (to the nearest whole number), or
both, and the dollar values cited here are based on formulas developed
by Professor Crutchfield at the University of Washington, which Fish and
Wildlife information specialists have adapted to their information
system. Using these two sources of information in combination we have •
estimated the total economic value (in terms of ex- vessel —or "farm -
gate "-- dollars)of the commercial flnfiish and shellfish industries.
Readers who are interested mainly in these Canal -wide aggregate
figures may skip ahead to the Economic Values section beginning on
P.20. Those readers who are interested in particular portions of the
Hood Canal fisheries economy will want to survey the figures presented
In the intervening pages. Readers wishing to know howwe generated
our Canal -wide aggregate Income estimates will also want to scan the
data offered in those pages.

Commercial Finfish Harvest Data •
From their receiving ticket database (described above) the
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has provided us with a
comprehensive record of commercial fnfish and shellfish harvests in
Hood Canal for the 5 -year period 1989 -93. Figures for the first four
years are considered firm; data for 1993 are considered to be
"preliminary ," although no major changes in these numbers are
currently anticipated.
The first commercial finfish data we shall present are for
salmonids, largely owing to the historical, cultural, and commercial
importance of these fish in this region. The most plentiful species
harvested during the five -year period, as figs. 1 through 10 show, was
chum, in terms of both numbers of fish and pounds landed. Although
the data reveal significant annual fluctuations in the chum catch, even
in the lowest harvest year (1990) the chum take was roughly 2.4 million
pounds of fish. The greatest chum harvest during this time -frame was
in 1992, when over 4.7 million pounds of chum were landed in Hood
Canal waters (Including the freshwater catch). -

The Hood Canal Chinook harvestwas substantial for 1989 -91, but
then it declined markedly in 1992 - -by more than 94% below 1991 levels -
-and remained flat in 1993. The coho harvest picture for this period Is
similar to that for Chinook- -three substantial annual harvests followed
by a decline in 1992 of more than 92% below the 1991 harvest level (see
figs 2 and 3).
• (Commercial flnflsh Harvest Data continued)
The Hood Canal pink salmon harvest was substantial in 1989 but •
thereafter virtually nonexistent. Finally, the Hood Canal sockeye
harvest for 1989 amounted to only 88 pounds of Fish, after which it
declined to nothing except for 9 pounds in 1991 (see figs. 4 and 5).
(Commercial Finfsh Harvest Data continued) 0
• Figures 6a through 10b graphically demonstrate the
overwhelming dominance of the chum runs in the Hood Canal
commercial salmon harvest, in recent years at any rate. In 1989, chum
represented a sizable 83% of the total salmon catch (In numbers offish);
by 1992 and 1993 that proportion had risen to more than 99% of the
Until salmon take from Hood Canal waters.

Turning to the salmon egg harvest figures for Hood Canal, we
find huge increase of more than 760% In 1993 over 1992 (see fig.11).
Likewise, for the rainbow /steelhead fishery we find an even greater
proportional jump in production numbers from 1992 to 1993- -more
than a 1300%jump, in fact (see fig. 12). The last Hood Canal salmonid
harvest figures we present here are for a small commercial steelhead

Finally, several miscellaneous harvests round out our account of
Hood Canal's commercial finfishery. In 1989, 49 pounds of green
sturgeon were harvested. Also in 1989, 25 pounds of rockfish were
harvested; however, no other rockfish were caught until 1993, when
only 2 pounds were harvested. In 1992, 58 pounds of octopus were
harvested. In 1993, 30 pounds of Pacific cad were harvested, along
- - with 12 pounds of aquaculture Atlantic salmon.

Commercial Shellfish Harvest Data •:
A number of shellfish species are economically valuable in the
Hood Canal fishing industry. Manila clams and pacific oysters are far
and away the most abundant commercial shellfish species, together
accounting for around 90% of annual commercial harvests in Hood
Canal during the period 1989 -93 (see figs. 30 -34)..
(Commercial Shellfish Harvest continued) •
15
• Oyster seed, other clams and oysters, and a mix of other
commercial species round out the commercial shellfish economy (see
figs. 23 -29). After a banner year in 1989, oyster seed production fell
by a whopping 98% in 1990. Native littleneck clams have maintained a
small but steady share of the market, and butter clams had a strong
year in 1993.

Figures 30 through 34 show the combined annual commercial
shellfish harvests for Hood Canal (in percentages of total harvest
Weight). Note the dominance of two species, manila clams and pacific
oysters, which together account for about 90% of the total commercial
harvest in 1989 -91. In 1992, geoducks contributed hugely; these three
species accounted for over 95% of the combined harvest in 1992 -93.

Economic Values
In order to estimate the dollar value of any harvest, we first need
to establish some kind of unit value for each type of fish harvested and
sold in a given year - -in this case, the dollar value to the fisherman (also
called the "ex- vessel" value) for every round pound of fish sold. From
the receiving ticket entries generated every time fish are sold in the
state, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife calculates
the aggregate economic value of each harvest species during a given
year. Although ex- vessel values for a given species will differ according
to time and place as market conditions vary , dividing the total ". vessel
harvest value for a given fish in a given year by the total number of
round pounds of that fish species harvested in that year will yield an
average value- per - pound.
Applying these statewide average ex- vessel values to the
commercial harvest in Hood Canal will not generate the precise market
value of the harvest, but since prices for Hood Canal commercial species
vary only slightly from place to place, such average unit values offer a
useful yardstick for measuring the economic value of the Hood Canal
commercial fish harvest. By then multiplying the annual catch weight
for each commercial Hood Canal species times the average unit price of
that species for that specific year, we can arrive at figure representing
the total economic value of that species in the Hood Canal commercial
harvest for that year. Finding the total value for each commercial
• species and then adding all of these total -value figures together will
- yield an aggregate economic value for the combined Hood Canal
20
commercial fish harvest in a given year. We stress once more that these - •
annual aggregates are NOT mathematically precise In minute detail;
rather, they represent useful estimates for gauging the economic value
of the fishing Industry to the Hood Canal watershed's economy. They
are the best figures that exist specifically for the Hood Canal watershed,
as far as we know.

By combining the figures reflected in the two charts immediately
above we obtain an overall estimate of the dollar value of fisheries in
the Hood Canal economy. for the three -year period depicted in these
charts we calculate an average annual combined aggregate of $5.1
million for the commercial fishing industry in Hood Canal. Shellfish
harvests account for about $2.5 million of this total, and finfish
harvests make up the other $2.6 million. Since we do not have an
accurate estimate of the total aggregate value of the combined regional
economy, it is virtually impossible for us to appraise the exact
contribution of fishing to the economy as a whole. We can, however,
use these figures to calculate employment effects (see the Business and
• Employment section earlier in this chapter). The reader will also want to

that the overall economic trend in the shellfish sector is upward for
these three years, while It is clearly downward for the finflsh economy.
Furthermore, it is important to remember that we really do not
know the extent to which these aggregates reflect an actual -regional -
economy for the Hood Canal watershed. That Is, our question still is
this: what portion of the money earned by the Hood Canal fishing
sector is actually economically productive within the watershed, as
opposed to being earned within the watershed and then spent
elsewhere. Many of the people contributing to the fishing sector
probably live outside the watershed, thereby seriously challenging the
notion of a truly regional economy. Finally, the reader will also want to
remember that our aggregate figures are based on ex- vessel values —
that is, the value received by fishers when transferring their harvests to
wholesalers. Wholesale -level and retail -level aggregate economic values
are likely to be anywhere from 150% to 250% (or even higher) of the ex-
vessel values we have cited.

• Recreational Fishing Information
We include this information in our Fisheries chapter because It is
clearly relevant to a complete understanding of the value of fishing to
the Hood Canal watershed economy. The harvest figures we offer here
may be useful In a number of ways - -to estimate the market value of the
catch for the purposes of doing cost - benefit analyses; to estimate the
value that recreational fishing adds to the tourism industry forthe Hood
Canal watershed; to gauge the ecosystemic health of various
recreational fisheries and thus their future prospects as part of the
Hood Canal tourist economy; or a host of other potential uses that
readers may envision.
We have very limited anecdotal information concerning the direct
impact of recreational fishing on the Hood Canal economy. However,
this information suggests strongly that many small business owners
within the watershed are heavily dependent on this economically
vigorous but short-lived seasonal economy -- particularly the large influx
of tourists who are drawn to Hood Canal for the recreational .
opportunities it offers in late spring, summer, and early fall. To cite
just one example, the Hood Canal recreational shrimp fishing season
has grown shorter and shorter in recent years- -dawn from fifteen days
N in 1969 tojust five in 1992- -but the catch levels and the numbers of
licenses sold have remained fairly constant. Thus, for example, small
regional retailers who rely on the influx of revenue brought by
recreational shrimping have an even smaller window of economic
opportunity than they did in earlier years.
`J
A number of studies have been published recently in an attempt
to calculate the economic impacts of recreational fishing and other
forms of tourism on local economies. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
researchers have determined the following: recreational shellfishing is
potentially quite lucrative to local economies; shellfishers have higher -
than- average incomes; Washington State ranks fifth in the nation in
terms of the percentage of residents who participate in this activity;
most recreational shellfiishing participants are white, male, and between
the ages of 25 and 44; a higher proportion of females participate in
shellfishing than in hunting or angling; shellfishing participants spend
more money annually on their sport than participants in those other
sports (an average of $603 per annum); about 47% of their expenditures
go for "trip related" expenses, especially food and lodging;. and, finally,
in the Pacific region shellfishing enthusiasts spend an average of about
6 days per year pursuing this form of recreation (see the USFWS
publication, "Recreational Shellfshing in the United States," 1991).
24
More recently, Cordell, Bergstrom, and Watson (1992) found that •
the economic impacts of recreation on local economies were limited by the proportion of non - residents involved. That is, average expenditures
from non - residents were significantly higher than those from local
residents, not surprisingly, so the percentage of non - residents involved
in any form of recreation is a useful estimator of the local economic
impacts generated by recreation. Unfortunately, data on license
purchases and user -trip activity for recreational finfishing and
shellfishing suggests that upwards of 90% of all participants in these
sports on Hood Canal are Washington residents. For recreational
shrimp fishing this percentage hovers consistently at about 95 %, so the
total economic Impact on the regional economy may not be as great as
some had previously hoped owing to consistently low levels of non-
resident participants.
In any event, a comprehensive analysis of the full impacts of
recreational fishing on the Hood Canal economy Is beyond the scope of
our project. Certainly additional data and further study In this area are
warranted.

• Recreational Finfish
The figures in this section are organized like those In the
commercial section -finfishing first, shellfishing second. We begin with
recreational salmon fishing. Figure 39 shows the overall trend in Hood
Canal recreational salmon catches - -from a high of nearly 27,000 salmon
in 1978 to a low of 1618 salmon in 1990.

The numerical discrepancies between figures 39 and 40 stem
from the fact that some reporting areas used in figure 40 were not used
in figure 39. Figures 40 through 44 show annual Hood Canal sport
catches for individual species. These graphs are for marine sport
salmon fishing. Almost all of the freshwater sport salmon catch in the
Hood Canal watershed comes from two rivers - -the Quilcene and the
Skokomish -- except in 1989, when nearly 900 fish were taken from the
• Dosewallips (over 2000 salmon were taken from the other two rivers as
well).

• Recreational Shellfish
Recreational shellfishing in Hood Canal is also immensely popular.
As figure 47 demonstrates, this recreational activity generates well over
I SO,00O -user trips- (the total number of participants, multiplied by the
number of days each one spent) a year for Hood Canal recreational
shellfishing areas. Additionally, as figures 51 (g) and (h) show clearly,
the recreational harvest of oysters from Hood Canal compares favorably
with the commercial harvest of oysters from the Canal -- averaging
roughly 15-20% of the annual commercial take. What follows is a
presentation of 1990 -1992 data on recreational harvests for all Hood
Canal shellfish species included by the Department of Fish and Wildlife
In their 1992 Sport Catch Report.

CHAPTER 11 TIMBER

• In this section we will consider some of the important economic
aspects of the timber industry in the Hood Canal watershed. The -
information we present here comes mainly from government sources:
From the Federal Government, the Olympic National Forest
provided us with copies of a number of reports, including the federal
Forest Ecosystem Management Assessment Team's Forest Ecosystem
Management. An Ecological, Economic, and Social Assessment (1993),
and Olympic National Forest's Land and Resource Management Plan
(1990) and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (1994).
as well as valuable assistance in interpreting the contents of those
reports.
From Washington State government, the Timber Tax Division of
the Department of Revenue and the Forest Landowner Assistance
Section of the Department of Natural Resources both provided us with
data on timber harvest value and tax policy trends; the Forest Practices
Section and the Division of Information Systems at the Department of
Natural Resources provided us with a printout summarizing all Forest
Practice Permit Applications during the period 1989 -1993, and they also
offered expert guidance on how to interpret this information; the Puget
Sound Cooperative River Basin Team (housed in the Department of
N Ecology) offered expert assistance and information as well as copies of
their published reports - -Lower Hood Canal Watershed (1991) and Upper
Hood Canal Watershed (1993).
The Mason County Assessors Office provided as with data on
property values in the watershed, as well as expert guidance on the
subject of forest tax programs. Computer Multiple Listing Service, Inc.,
a private real estate service, provided us with land transaction
information for Kltsap and Jefferson Counties.
Finally, several private timber companies provided valuable
information and expertise regarding the timber industry in the Hood
Canal watershed.
Historic Overview
Because the demand for wood products from the Hood Canal
watershed has historically been subject to national and international
economic conditions, we start with a brief discussion of those "global"
forces which have an impact within the watershed. We do this also
because it is virtually impossible to isolate most of the forest - products
• information specific to the Hood Canal watershed economy. Thus, in
order to convey much Information at all about the highly important
forest products sector, we must present data that can not be cropped to •.
fit within the watershed boundary-- mostly in the from of county -wide
figures. Our assumption here is that such county-wide figures are
representative of the forest economy in the Hood Canal watershed. For
some kinds of data such as average stumpage values, this assumption
probably holds true. However, with other kinds of figures, like those for
average wages and salaries, this assumption may be less tenable since
high -end wages generally are paid In the milling and processing jobs
characteristically found outside of the watershed. Other figures, like
gross volumes harvested in individual counties may reflect county-wide
conditions that are less operative inside the watershed.
The demand for finished lumber, plywood, and other products is
heavily dependent upon conditions In the national and regional housing
market. A national recession In the housing market during the early
1980s, for example, toppled nationwide lumber production from a then -
historic high of more than 30 billion board -feet in 1977 down to a
production low of less than 25 billion board -feet In 1982. Although
nationwide timber harvest levels have rebounded substantially since
that time, timber- related employment has not kept pace. Some major
reasons for this employment lag are the timber industry's Increasing
reliance on log exports in recent years and also productivity
improvements that have made the industry less labor- intensive. Thus,
employment in mills has tended to be stagnant since the logs that
those mills might have processed in days gone by are now shipped
overseas, often to markets in Asia where raw logs from the Pacific
Northwest have commanded top prices in recent years.
The Impact of the 1980s national recession on timber production
In Washington State was both immediate and dramatic. From a
statewide harvest level of around 7 billion board -feet In 1979, timber
production dropped to less than 5 billion board -feet in 1981. The
impact of this drop on employment was dramatic. From a historic high
of more than 75,000 statewide jobs in the timber and forest products
industry in 1977, employment in this sector declined to around 57,000
jobs in 1982. Since then statewide employment levels in the timber
products industry have never risen above 64,000 jobs in a given year
(the high was In 1989), and at present the statewide level of
employment in the timber Industry hovers between 57,000 and 60,000
total jobs.
The one exception to this general rule is in the "secondary"
portion of the timber economy - -paper production and finished wood
products. The pulp- and -paper sector of the timber products industry,
one that tends to rely on "more stable and diversified markets; has .
been marked in recent years (i.e., since 1988) by both productivity gains.
• (roughly 10 %) and modest increases in employment - -about 1,000 jobs
(Conway 4). On the whole, however, it is clear that the long -term trend
in timber employment will continue to cycle downward. Automation and
other technical improvements in productivity have decreased the
Industry's traditional labor- intensive approach to production.
To offer some perspective on this issue one needs only to realize
that timber's share of the statewide employment picture has declined
from around 14% in 1960 to about 7% in 1992. However, timber
employment in Mason and Jefferson Counties has not paralleled this
statewide decline. The percentage of jobs directly related to the timber
industry in Mason County stood at about 13% in 1988; adding indirectly
related jobs to this figure yields a total share of jobs related to the
timber industry of about 38% for that year. In Jefferson County these
percentages were about 15% (direct employment) and 37%(indirect
employment) respectively (FE6, P. 180). However, Conway estimates
that between 1988 and 1992 timber - related employment declined by
about 21% throughout the Olympic Peninsula region.
Local communities that are heavily dependent on the timber -
products industry have historically been buffeted by large cyclic
fluctuations in demand for timber products. Generally, industry "bust"
M periods have been followed by "boom" ones. However, recent decisions
regarding harvest levels in public forests -- driven in large part by
triggering of the Endangered Species Act with respect to spotted owl
and marbled murrelet populations - -have added to the economic woes in
timber - dependent communities. This is especially true in areas of the
Olympic Peninsula that have traditionally depended on harvests from
within Olympic National Forest (such as western Clallam County). In
Washington State it is estimated that by the year 2000 continuing
federal forest closures will combine with intra - industry developments
(e.g., additional automation) to result in the further loss of about
11,000 timber - related jobs (compared to 1988), with catastrophic
economic effects on local communities (Conway, 1994, p. 37). The
Olympic National Forest's Final Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement on Management of Habitat (1994), adds, 'There are no major
economic activities (e.g., higher paying timber jobs) in the federal
forests which will increase when timber harvests decline" P. 308).
We should also mention here that the Olympic Peninsula region
as a whole has relied heavily on revenues from log exports; historically,
about 43% of the Peninsulas annual harvest is exported, mostly to Japan
(LRMP, III -182). Declining Japanese demand In recent years has reduced
this outflow of logs to a degree, however. Since log exports from both
state and federal forests are currently banned anyway, Impending
decisions regarding harvest levels on federal lands will not affect the
log -export market situation. Additionally, reductions in log- exports •:
tend to preserve -value-added" jobs in the forest products industry In
Washington State (Conway, pp. 24, 34). Log export reductions tend
also to have smaller negative employment effects than changes In other
sectors of the forest products Industry, since log exports produce
"fewerjobs per million board feet of harvese than do other wood
products sectors (FEIS 182).
Figure 1 shows the dramatic decline In the volume of timber
harvested from the Hood Canal and Quilcene Districts In Olympic
National Forest. This decline is not due only to the 1990 listing of the
northern spotted owl under the Endangered Species Act, but that event
certainly has played the biggest role in national forest harvest
reductions in Mason and Jefferson Counties. Some small resurgences in
timber volumes are due to salvage operations in the wake of large
blowdowns (for instance, the 11.41 million board -feet harvested from
the Quilcene District in 1991). The reader will note the precipitous
decline between 1989 and 1991 in the Hood Canal Ranger District, and
between 1989 and 1992 in the Quilcene Ranger District. Virtually all of
the sales in both districts have resulted from either commercial thinning
or sporadic commercial salvage operations (source: Harvest Volume
Summary for Olympic National Forest, Chris Anderson, personal
communication).

We should note here that dependence on timber from federal
forests in the watershed was declining before the recent spotted owl
closures. The Cooperative Sustained Yield Unit (CSYU) agreement
between the U.S. Forest Service and Simpson Timber Company had
enabled Simpson to rely on a steady supply of federal timber for nearly
NI
forty years, and during this period of time Simpson's own forest lands
• recovered to harvestable levels of maturity. Thus, Simpson —far and
away the largest private employer in Mason County—will have a stable
supply of mature timber from its own holdings to meet market demand
for the next several decades. In addition, under the terms of the CSYU
agreement Simpson continues to enjoy a right of 'first refusal" on all
proposed sales within the Sustained Yield Unit. Historically, harvests
from public lands in Jefferson County have generally far surpassed
public -land harvests in either Mason or Kitsap.
In one often- overlooked but crucial respect the reduction of
federal forest harvest levels will dramatically affect the economic
balance in two of the three counties bordering on the Hood Canal
watershed (Mason and Jefferson). This involves the amount of revenue
allocated to county governments as a result of timber sales and other
cash income to federal forests. By law, one - quarter of the cash income
to Olympic National Forest is paid out to the five counties whose land
the National Forest occupies. Each county receives a fixed percentage
reflecting its proportion of the land in the National Forest. As the
largest - contributor" of acreage to the Olympic National Forest complex,
Jefferson County has received substantial reimbursement under this law -
-more than $12.3 million in the five -year period between 1985 and
• 1989, or roughly 45% of the total paid to the five counties in that period
(see fy.2). Thus, the governments of these counties find signlfcant
sources of revenue in decline just as demand for community services is
rising as a result of distress in the timber economy (FSEIS 309).

.Overall, then, the importance of timber - related jobs to local
economic communities cannot be stressed too much. Conway (1994)
• found that the implied employment multiplier effect of the timber
industry on the rest of the economy in Washington State is about 5.2.
This means that for every Washington timber job that produced "goods •
for final sales," about 4.2 "supporting jobs" existed In the rest of the
economy (p.18). Another indicator of interest here is Conway's finding
that "[alnnual income in the industry averaged 437,490 per person,
compared to the 426,800 average income for all workers in the state"
(p. 15). In rural areas of Washington —such as most of the Hood Canal
watershed - -the consequence of losing such jobs is that "these
communities will experience absolute declines in total employment and
personal income" (Conway, p.31).
•
•
• Watershed Profile
Unfortunately, much of the relevant employment data for the
Hood Canal watershed can not be disaggregated to 'fit---either within
the watershed boundaries or in categories that are specific to the
timber industry. Census Bureau information for 1990, for instance,
combines forestry employment figures with those for agriculture and
fishing. Payroll data from the Labor Market and Economic Analysis
branch of the Washington State Employment Security Department also
combine timber - related employment figures with those from agriculture
and fishing, so neither source is very helpful for this chapter.
The Kitsap County Planning Department provided us with
business information based on their land- parcel distribution data, and
these figures show 14 'Heavy Industrial' firms that include lumber and
wood products. An addition 19 firms are listed under "Agricultural
Activities,' although neither of these designations is very specific. From
Jefferson County, the Assessor's Office provided us with information
based on their land -use data. These figures show 1 "Operating Mill' and
1 Wholesaler of "Lumber, Hardware, Farm Supplies." The information
for Mason County came from the Washington State Department of
Revenue information supplied to us by the Mason county Planning
Department. These figures show a total of 152 'Wood Products' firms
defnitely with in the Hood Canal watershed, all but 9 of which are listed
under "logging." An additional 23 wood products firms are probably
inside the watershed (18 of which are listed under "logging"), and
another 52 wood products firms (43 under "logging ") are possiblyinside
the watershed (see Business chapter).
Some description of other relevant watershed features may be
appropriate here. On the eastern side of the Hood Canal watershed,
from Fairweather Bluff all the way around to the edge of the Skokomish
Basin, forested land accounts for over 86% of the land area, or about
139,000 acres. Roughly 70% of this forested land is used for
commercial forestry purposes (see Lower Hood Canal Watershed, pp. 6,
17; Upper Hood Canal Watershed, p. 107). Much of the forest stands
on soils that are less productive than in other Umber- growing areas of
the State (the upper Tahuya Peninsula Is one example of such a soil -
poor area). On the western side of the Canal an even higher percentage
of watershed lands are forested, although here most of those lands are
within National Forest and National Park boundaries. About 280,000
acres of the National Forest are in Jefferson County, and another
136,000 acres are in Mason County.
• Figure 3 shows the average stumpage values for timber cut in
Mason, Jefferson, and Kitsap Counties from 1988 through 1993. In
general, market prices were significantly higher in Mason County than in •
either of the other two watershed counties, and more than 90% of the
harvest in Mason and Kitsap Counties came from private lands- -much
higher than in Jefferson, where in recent years the harvest of timber
from public lands has been greater than in the other two counties
combined. For example, In 1992 roughly 123.7 million board -feet of
timber were harvested In Jefferson County, of which about 50.3% came
from private lands and 49.6% came from public -- mostly DNR -- lands. In
Kitsap County during the same year roughly 39.5 million board -feet
were harvested, more than 95% of which came from private lands. In
Mason County the total harvest for the same year was about 237.8
million board -feet, and 90% of that total came from private lands (Mason
County Growth Management Background Report, P. 85; Forest Tax
County Summary, Washington Timber Harvest 1992 p.13). Note the
significant price jumps in 1990 (the year the spotted owl was listed) and
1993.

In order to obtain some kind of profile of harvesting activity
specific to the Hood Canal watershed, we used Forest Practices Permit
data gathered by the Washington State Department of Natural
Resources. Forest lands within the watershed fall into two DNR
administrative areas —the South Puget Sound and Olympic Regions.
Since information on all approved permits for clearcutting, thinning,
partial cutting, salvage, and road building is stored in DNR computer
files, we were able to acquire comprehensive records concerning these
activities. Each DNR - approved permit is listed by section, township, and
range, so using several maps we were able to Identify all harvesting that
occurred "definitely within' or "possibly within" the watershed. The one
serious limitation of this data is that it lists only DNR - approved permits
for proposed activities in the watershed. We have no idea that these •
harvests and other activities actually took place, nor do individual
• managers at DNR keep track of whether or not proposed harvests really
happened. Thus, these figures represent a hypothetical profile of
timber harvesting activity within the Hood Canal watershed, an upper -
limit estimate of these operations on watershed forest lands.
Figure 4 shows estimated acres of clearcut logging in the
watershed, and figure 5 shows the combined acreages for thinning and
partial cutting. Figure 6 shows the acres of salvage - logging carried out
in the watershed between 1989 and 1993. The bottom portions of the
stacked bars in all three figures represent harvests definitely within the
Hood Canal watershed; the upper portions of these bars represent
harvested acres that are possibly within the watershed. Note the steady
annual increases of around 1000 acres in clearcut operations though
1993. Thinning and partial -cut operations were more sporadic in this
period.

In order to gauge the timber volumes these figures represent, we
needed to make some assumptions about the "typical" yields from each
of the specific timber operations. Consequently, we contacted Chris
Anderson, Timber Sale Specialist for Olympic National Forest, who
suggested that we use the following conservative "ballpark" figures: For
clearcutting operations, we assume an average yield of about 30,000
board -feet per acre harvested. For thinning and partial cutting (which

she indicated that 15,000 board -feet per acre would be a reasonable

iT
•
• would yield less per acre than clearcutting since a considerable amount
of timber can be damaged in blowdowns. Thus, we used an assumption
of 20,000 board feet per salvage- logging acre.
The results of our calculations are shown in figure 7. Let us take
1992 as an example. If we compare our Hood Canal watershed harvest
volume total of 253.2 million board -feet with the DNR estimate of
roughly 401.1 million board -feet as the total harvest for the three
counties combined, it seems fairly clear that our Hood Canal watershed
harvest estimates exceed the real harvest. Nevertheless, such numbers
are useful as "ceiling estimates." We know, then, that the actual timber
harvest volumes in the Hood Canal watershed must be lower than our
figure for any given year. Additionally, if we use our price data from
figure 3, we can estimate the economic value of the timber harvest in
the watershed. Using an average stumpage value of about $300 per
thousand board -feet, then, we can estimate the economic value of the
Hood Canal timber harvest for 1992 at around $76 million. This figure
represents the value of the timber at harvest; wholesale and recall
values are liable to be quite a bit higher.

In addition to the timber harvest, another important economic
factor to consider is the amount of forest land being convened to non
forestry purposes. Figures 8 and 9 show the number of conversion
permits approved and the number of conversion acres permitted in the
Hood Canal watershed in the period 1990 -93. The acreage figure
• represents the total amount of forest land being taken out of forest
production in any one year, usually for conversion to residential land.
There are numerous environmental and economic consequences of such •
conversions, including Increased soil erosion, riparian zone
deterioration, declines in salmon spawning habitat conditions,
increased potential for non -point source pollution, and so forth.
Additionally, the timber production capacity in the watershed is
permanently reduced by such conversions.

The last graph we Include in this report shows the number of
miles of forest road built in the Hood Canal watershed during the
period 1989 -93. The building of roads in forest areas, especially areas
with steep hillside gradients is probably the most significant source of
soil erosion in such areas.

Special Forest Products
This economic sector has often been touted as a source of
productivity that may compensate local forest- dependent economies for
• the loss of their timber - related jobs. As we have already noted, though,
- forest - products jobs, especially those in processing and milling, are
among the highest - paying jobs in the region. On the other hand, most
jobs associated with the gathering and processing of special forest
products tend to be both seasonal and low- paying - -not particularly
encouraging to an area hit by the loss of high -wage jobs. We also note
that a lack of consistent record - keeping in this area, as well as under-
. reporting and below- market pricing by sellers, makes it difficult to
accurately assess the economic potential of special forest produces. We
have reasonable data from a modest portion of the watershed- -the Hood
Canal and Quilcene Ranger Districts in Olympic National Forest. The
former district is about 9096 within the Hood Canal watershed, while
only about 50% of the latter is even in Jefferson County, and much of
that area is outside the watershed. The Hood Canal Ranger District
comprises a little under 140,000 acres in Mason County, which amounts
to 22% of the land in that county. Figures from that District indicate
that less than 84000 worth of mushrooms and less than 440,000 worth
of salal were harvested in the two -year period 1992 -1993 (source:
Olympic National Forest Specialized products Synopsis). Although we
have not studied this sector in great detail, these figures certainly
suggest that special forest products will not come close to
compensating for the loss of timber jobs in the watershed.

HOOD CANAL WATERSHED BOUNDARY OVERLAID ON COUNTY
MAPS SHOWING LOCATION OF CENSUS BLOCK GROUPS
The three following color maps show where the Hood Canal
watershed boundary crosses block groups in Kitsap, Mason, and
Jefferson Counties. Within each of the block groups there are up to
100 census blocks. We determined which block groups to include in
our report only after examining where the boundary crossed each
individual census block.
In the section immediately following these maps are reports, by
county, showing which block groups were included and which block
groups were excluded from our census data. We also show actual
watershed populations for each block group.

REPORTS FOR BLOCK GROUPS THAT ARE EITHER TOTALLY
WITHIN OR PARTIALLY WITHIN THE HOOD CANAL WATERSHED.
The following reports show the percentage of the population living
within the Hood Canal watershed for each block group that is either
totally or Partially within the Hood Canal watershed. We also show
which block groups were included and which block groups were
excluded from our reports of census data. •
For block group locations in relation to the Hood Canal watershed
boundary please refer to the three maps immediately Preceding this

• CENSUS BLOCK GROUPS IN THE HOOD CANAL WATERSHED,
JEFFERSON COUNTY
The attached report is 1990 census data for block groups in
Jefferson county which have at least 50% of their population in the Hood
Canal watershed. Block groups are sub divisions of Block Numbering
Areas (BNAS). They are the smallest units for which substantial census -
data is available.
A number of tools were utilized to determine which blocks are in
the Hood Canal watershed and to determine a range within which the
population for the blocks divided by the watershed boundary fell. In
1990 the total population of the Hood Canal Watershed in Jefferson
County ranged from 3,161 to 3,214.
The attached census data actually captures 100% of the
population of the Hood Canal watershed in Jefferson County.
Between 90.6 and 92.1 %of the 1990 population Included in the
attached report resided in the Hood Canal watershed (therefore only
9.4% or less of the population included in the attached data resided
outside (though close to) the watershed.
• Block Groups included in report:
BNA 9502
BG #1 88.5% to 92% of population of 748 people lived in HCW

Block groups crossed by the Hood Canal watershed boundary which are
not included in the attached data are:
t) BNA 9503 BG #2 has one block partially in the watershed and no
likely population in the watershed.
2) BNA 9505 BG #3 three blocks are partially in the Hood Canal
• watershed. The total population of all three blocks is 2 people.
