Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Finfish Aquaculture Provisions: Associate Planner Michelle McConnell reviewed two definitions: 1) critical habitat; and 2) habitat of special significance. Staff added the word "cumulative" when referring to impacts regarding finfish aquaculture. She provided the Commissioners with the "SMP Article 2.C.26, Critical Habitat" and the "1986Interim Guidelines for Salmon Net Pen Culture in Puget Sound Habitats of Special Significance. " Staff proposes to cross reference the two definitions of critical habitat as a way to keep with the intent of the 1986 Interim Guidelines. Stacie Hoskins, Planning Manager stated that all net pens located in water would be subject to SEPA review thus including cumulative impacts. Page 1 of 6, D. Regulations-Finfish, (1) last sentence states: "Upon availability of any other subsequently state-approved guidance, the more current requirements shall prevail. " Chairman Austin is concerned that the wording "...the more current requirements shall prevail" may allow a requirement that is less protective than Jefferson County's requirement. Associate Planner McConnell responded that there is wording in other sections that may address Chairman Austin's concern. She recommended, and the Commissioners concurred, to add the following language, "Upon availability of any other subsequently state-approved guidance, the more ettr~e~2F protective requirements shall prevail. " Looking at the map of Mats Mats Bay; Chairman Austin asked for clarification of the setbacks for net pens. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes: March 11, 2013 J Associate Planner McConnell replied that the intent of the maps is to illustrate the geographic areas of allowance based on the shoreline designations.

Based on the Shoreline designations, the Port Hadlock area has been removed from the possible geographic locations. At the last discussion of the SMP, Commissioner Johnson had questions regarding the Puget Sound salinity and Photic Zone.

Regarding HB 1599, Associate Planner McConnell informed the Board that this bill did not make it out of Committee and is no longer being considered. The next step would be for the Boazd to provide direction to staff on any final edits to the proposed CUP criteria or the full in-water finfish aquaculture packet for public review.
