site a #2. According to their ranking system, ratings of 2 and 3 are to be handled by the site owner, but
DOE can assist.
The Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) and the Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc (OWSI) need to come to an

requested permission from the Commissioners to draft a letter to the DOE to seek cleanup assistance as

counts. He also spoke with Marie Peters with DOE and she confirmed that Port Ludlow's water rights
are consistent with the Water Plan through 2025. There would be a need to apply for more water rights

questions and comments were discussed:
CRIMINAL JUSTICE

LAW ENFORCEMENT

PERMITS AND REGULATIONS
• What has the County done with the thousands of dollars collected on the Pleasant Hazbor Marina
and Golf Resort? The golf resort has no income on that land. We need our share!
• Permit process is still way too slow. It is a joke.
• Septic inspection is another waste of resources.
• Why are the fees for services increasing at the rate they are? And why are there more regulations
being instituted that don't seem to have a basis for these regulations?

been overwhelmed by the Public Health Department's requirements for septic tank inspection.

Our most troubling problem is the lack of records kept by the County for the system we are on.
Why do we have to be penalized (we've been here shy of 2 years) for what is in the past? (These
septic designers are ve expensive!)
BRINNON MOTEL
What is the County going to do about removing the asbestos from the motel and renovating the
building so it can become an active motel again? (Community Center at Brinnon)
