This Consistency Report documents the level of consistency between the state guidelines and the Draft SMP developed, but not adopted by the County in 2000. It also describes the consistency between the County’s preliminary shoreline inventory and analysis report1 and state requirements for the amendment of shoreline master programs (WAC 173-26, Part III). The report outlines specific areas that need to be redrafted and/or reconsidered in light of the 2003 Guidelines. The Consistency Report will be used in conjunction with the Integration Strategy (prepared under separate cover) to guide the development of the updated SMP. Consistency of the 2000 Draft SMP In July 2000, Jefferson County completed the Draft Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program (SMP) as an update to its previously adopted SMP. While the 2000 draft SMP provided a comprehensive package of recommended changes to goals, policies, regulations and administration, formal adoption by the County was delayed in anticipation of the revisions to the shoreline guidelines contained in WAC 173-26. Under a grant from Ecology, Jefferson County has now embarked on the development of a revised SMP to comply with the requirements of WAC 173-26. The 2000 draft SMP will be the foundation for this revision process, and this memorandum provides a consistency review, comparing Jefferson County’s 2000 draft SMP with Chapter 173-26 WAC, the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines. The Shoreline Management Act (RCW 90.58) and the Guidelines comprise standards and criteria to be used by Ecology in reviewing the adoption and amendment of local master programs under RCW 90.58.090. According to WAC 173-26-171, the Guidelines have three specific purposes. First, they assist local governments in developing master programs, and second, along with the policy of RCW 90.58.020, serve as criteria for state review of local master programs under RCW 90.58.090. Finally, the Guidelines contain parameters, standards and review criteria for local master programs, allowing local governments substantial discretion to adopt master programs that reflect local 1 Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program Update: Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report prepared by Neil Harrington of the Jefferson County Department of Community Development and last revised October 25, 2005. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 1 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update circumstances and other regulatory and non-regulatory programs related to the goals of shoreline management. Adolfson planners reviewed the Jefferson County’s 2000 draft SMP to evaluate the level of consistency of the SMP with the Guidelines. This review specifically compared individual components of the Guidelines and the SMP including master program elements, environment designations, general provisions, shoreline modifications, and shoreline uses. Some of the key issues emerging from this review are summarized below, while more detailed findings are summarized in Table 1. Overall, the 2000 draft SMP provides a good foundation from which to develop a revised Program. Many of the regulations for modifications and specific uses, for example, are fairly complete, and many other existing components such as exemptions, elements and environment designations are largely in alignment with the Guidelines. Master Program Elements WAC 173-26-191(b) states that master programs shall, where appropriate, incorporate various ‘elements’ into the program. These elements, derived from the Shoreline Management Act (90.58.100(2) RCW), address economic development; public access; recreation; circulation; shoreline use; conservation; and historic, scientific and educational resources. Jefferson County’s existing 2000 draft SMP is largely consistent with this provision of the Guidelines, as it contains all of the elements specified by the Guidelines in its Chapter 3, Master Program Elements: Goals and Policies. While not explicitly specified in the Guidelines, there are opportunities to add a ‘restoration’ element to help support policies, regulations and programs addressing restoration throughout the revised SMP. Similarly, the Guidelines suggest that local jurisdictions consider adding a flood hazard reduction element. Comprehensive flood hazard reduction has been identified in this review as an opportunity for improvement in the 2000 draft SMP, and adding such an element could help provide a framework for adding new policy language and regulations. No Net Loss of Ecological Functions WAC 173-26-201(c) notes that the Guidelines are designed to assure, at a minimum, “no net loss” of ecological functions necessary to sustain shoreline natural resources and to plan for restoration of ecological functions where they have been impaired. Master programs shall contain policies and regulations to meet these “no net loss” goals through its environment designation system, policies and regulations for shoreline uses and modifications, critical area policies and regulations, and mitigation measures. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 2 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update The existing 2000 draft SMP contains various references to avoiding adverse impacts to ecological functions, fish and wildlife habitat, and other resources, but there are substantial opportunities to incorporate the principle of no net loss of ecological functions throughout the document, in both policies and regulations. Environment Designations WAC 173-26-211 contains basic requirements for classifying environment designations in local shoreline master programs. Environment designation classification systems are to be based on existing use patterns, the biological and physical character of the shoreline, and the goals and aspirations of the local jurisdiction. The Guidelines recommend a system composed of six basic environments: High Intensity, Shoreline Residential, Urban Conservancy, Rural Conservancy, Natural and Aquatic. The Guidelines indicate that local governments should assign environment designations consistent with the corresponding designation criteria for each environment, and that they should assure the protection of ecological functions be consistent with policies for restoration of degraded shorelines. Alternate designation systems are permitted as long as they are consistent with the purposes and policies of the Guidelines. Parallel environments may also be used. The 2000 draft SMP contains seven shoreline environment designations, several of which closely align with the Guidelines in purpose and designation criteria. For example, the SMP contains both Natural and Aquatic shoreline environments, as well as a Rural Conservancy designation that closely parallels the criteria in the Guidelines. The Urban Residential designation also closely resembles the criteria for the Shoreline Residential environment in the Guidelines. The 2000 draft SMP contains a Public Conservancy designation intended for shorelines in public ownership. While this is not a specific environment designation included in the Guidelines, this designation appears to be consistent with the Guidelines. The County may also consider adding a comparable Urban Conservancy environment designation to the SMP to address shorelines in more urban areas of the County where significant ecological functions still persist. Finally, the Guidelines contain a High Intensity environment designation, while the 2000 draft SMP contains two “high intensity” designations, Urban High Intensity and Rural Intensive. Both of the SMP designations appear to be consistent with the purpose and designation criteria for High Intensity in the Guidelines. Specifically, the Guidelines call for assigning this designation to urban growth areas and “rural areas of more intense development” if they currently support or are suitable and planned for high-intensity water-oriented uses. Flood Hazard Reduction and Channel Migration Zones WAC 173-26-221(3) contains provisions for developing policies and regulations to reduce flood damage or hazard, and for addressing uses, development, and shoreline Adolfson Associates, Inc page 3 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update modifications that may increase flood hazards. Applicable shoreline master programs should include provisions to limit development and modifications that would interfere with the natural process of channel migration that may cause significant impacts to property or public improvements and result in a net loss of ecological functions. The Guidelines call for giving preference to non-structural over structural flood hazard reduction measures, for basing flood hazard reduction provisions on applicable comprehensive watershed and flood hazard management plans, and for integrating regulations with other flood hazard management regulations. Restoration is also encouraged. The 2000 draft SMP provisions for flood hazard management are contained in policies and regulations for “flood hazard management projects” in Chapters 6 and 9. There appear to be substantial opportunities to augment the SMP with a broader strategy to address uses and development in both channel migration zones and flood hazard areas. This strategy would also include greater integration with comprehensive flood hazard management plans and programs. Critical Areas Protection of the ecological functions of critical areas is a key component of the Guidelines. In accordance with WAC 173-26-221(2), shoreline master programs must manage critical areas located in the shoreline jurisdiction with policies and regulations that provide a level of protection that is at least equal to that provided by the local government’s critical area regulations adopted under the Growth Management Act. There are significant opportunities to update the 2000 draft SMP with respect to critical areas. While the SMP contains policies for wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat areas, geologic hazard areas, and critical saltwater habitats, specific regulations are absent for many of these elements. Specifically, the Program does not include specific regulations for wetlands, geologic hazard areas, aquifer recharge areas, or frequently flooded areas. The SMP does include regulations for critical saltwater habitats, and what appear to be regulations that address some elements for critical freshwater habitats. In the 2000 SMP’s critical area policies and regulations, there are also opportunities to expand on the protection and restoration of ecological functions as well as to improve links to ecosystem-wide processes. Policies and regulations could also be supported by references to a “full spectrum” of planning measures to protect critical areas, including regulatory and non-regulatory approaches. To ensure equivalent levels of protection with the County’s critical area regulations outside of the shoreline, the SMP could simply include those regulations by reference, or develop new regulations more closely tailored to conditions in the shoreline jurisdiction. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 4 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update Incentives/Restoration WAC 173-26-201(f) specifies that master programs shall include goals, policies and actions for restoration of impaired shoreline ecological functions. Provisions should be designed to achieve overall improvements in ecological functions over time. While a substantial portion of restoration planning will occur in the restoration plan prepared for the update of the County’s SMP, there are opportunities to support such restoration planning through policy and regulatory language. Specifically, policies could be added to the SMP, either in a new restoration element or elsewhere, to encourage restoration through a combination of mitigation strategies, incentives, permit streamlining and non-regulatory approaches. Provisions could also be added to specific use regulations to encourage restoration using a combination of these approaches. Other Issues Other opportunities for building on the existing 2000 Master Program include the following: • Developing more integration between public access provisions in the SMP and County’s plans for parks and trails. • More specifically addressing vegetation conservation, including more explicit policies for vegetation conservation, specific vegetation conservation setback requirements, and vegetation conservation provisions in use regulations.

Ad ol fson A s s ociat es , I nc page 23 Au g ust 2 0 06 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update Consistency of the Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report Adolfson reviewed the Jefferson County Shoreline Master Program Update: Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report for consistency with state requirements for the amendment of shoreline master programs (WAC 173-26, Part III). The report was authored by Neil Harrington of the Jefferson County Department of Community Development and was last revised October 25, 2005. Adolfson planners and biologists reviewed the report in the context of specific guidelines and requirements established in WAC 173-26-201, entitled “Comprehensive process to prepare or amend shoreline master programs.” Issues for consideration and discussion are outlined below. Table 2 documents in more detail our review of the Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report for each water body and/or marine shoreline segment discussed in the Report. The table identifies the elements that are addressed in the Report, highlights elements that are missing, and provides general recommendations to consider during development of the updated inventory and characterization. Overall, the Inventory and Analysis Report reflects a significant amount of work by County staff. The Report includes much information that will be helpful in ensuring consistency with the WAC guidelines and in updating the County’s Shoreline Master Program. Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report Organization The current Report includes a basic introduction with a brief discussion of regulatory context and reach break rationale, and a minimal description of the methods used. The shoreline inventory follows. The inventory is organized by basin beginning in the southeast portion of the County and continuing counterclockwise through the southwest portion of the County. Lakes are included in each appropriate river basin but addressed separately in the inventory. Inventory headings for marine shoreline segments generally include ecological background, shoreline alterations, restoration opportunities, public access, and preliminary reach breaks. Inventory headings for river and stream shoreline segments include anadromous fish use, anadromous fish habitat, restoration opportunities, and preliminary reach breaks. A more complete introductory section would expand on the discussion of regulatory context and include a more comprehensive methods section as described below. Following this introduction, we suggest including a large part of the existing introduction in a new Landscape Analysis section, with a regional overview of landscape controls such as climate and topography and major shoreline features, and a discussion of data gaps. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 24 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update To facilitate analysis of ecosystem functions and processes, we suggest organizing stream segments by Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA). For each WRIA, condition of the watershed and an overview of processes and functions would be summarized in a table. Organizing the inventory in this manner would not change the overall order of the shoreline segments. In addition, more closely following the inventory elements identified in WAC 173-26- 201 could achieve a more consistent organization of individual marine and freshwater shoreline segments. In general, we envision each shoreline segment inventory could include a basin overview, followed by a section identifying preliminary shoreline reaches, which would then be discussed in detail. Lakes would be included within their respective basins. The physical environment and biological resources would be described for each shoreline segment. A discussion of land use and altered conditions would follow, which would include land use and zoning, transportation and utilities, shoreline modifications, and public access. Finally, we suggest inserting a section presenting an ecological functions and processes analysis for each shoreline segment, which would relate to potential restoration opportunities and contribute to the overall functions and processes analysis tables for each WRIA. Mapping The current Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report includes 20 maps on 8.5” x 11” sheets. One map shows the western portion of the County at a coarse scale (approximately 1:230,000). The eastern portion of the County is shown on 19 maps at varying scales (from approximately 1:63,360 to 1:47,500). The existing map series includes aerial photography, drift cells, reach break boundaries for marine reaches, and text boxes identifying areas of special interest (e.g., important feeder bluffs, marinas, public access sites). Generally, the mapping provides a good framework for understanding the location of regulated shorelines and the general land cover and development patterns across the landscape. The use of text boxes is informative, but not uniformly used (e.g., some shoreline parks and recreational areas are identified, but not all are shown). Maps do not show the approximate extent of the shoreline jurisdiction as a horizontal plane; for example, floodways and associated wetlands are not included in the mapping of the shoreline jurisdiction. The mapping also does not specifically address inventory elements as distinct themes or map series (e.g., zoning and land use; designated critical areas). To avoid development of an unwieldy map folio, we suggest developing thematic maps at a scale that would allow all of the County’s shorelines to be shown on two or three sheets. Additionally, a new map series would be developed to illustrate the landscape analysis at a Countywide scale. These maps would depict landforms and factors that control and influence ecosystem-wide processes across the landscape (e.g., topography, geology, soils, precipitation, land cover) as well as other important areas and altered areas. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 25 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update Inventory Elements The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report was reviewed to determine which elements described in WAC 173-26-201(3)(c), entitled “Inventory shoreline conditions,” are addressed and whether or not there are opportunities to expand the existing discussion or include missing elements in the update. Each element is described below. The table in Table 2 addresses these elements in greater detail for each regulated water body and/or marine shoreline segment. • Shoreline and adjacent land use patterns; transportation and utility facilities; impervious surfaces; vegetation; shoreline modifications; water-oriented uses (173- 26-201(3)(c)(i)). Generally, there are opportunities in the existing Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report to more consistently discuss elements of the built environment and their effects on shoreline functions. There is, for example, no consolidated discussion of land use patterns and associated impervious surfaces. For some resources, land use and land cover are discussed at a watershed scale. For other resources, land ownership and uses are described at the reach scale. Transportation facilities are sporadically discussed, usually in the context of impairment to a specific resource. Vegetation, when discussed, is generally related to riparian condition, and shoreline modifications are discussed in detail for the marine shoreline only (bulkheads, docks and piers, etc.). Marinas and other water-dependent uses are generally identified for marine shorelines, and overall, there is much more detailed information for marine shorelines, providing an opportunity to expand on freshwater shorelines (rivers, streams, lakes, and non-estuarine wetlands). • Critical areas (including wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, fish and wildlife conservation areas, geologically hazardous areas, channel migration zones, and frequently flooded areas/floodplains) (173-26-201(3)(c)(ii) and (vii)). The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report describes some critical areas (e.g., estuarine wetlands associated with river/stream mouths; feeder bluffs that may be regulated as landslide hazard areas). There are, however, opportunities to provide a more comprehensive discussion and mapping to describe the location and function of critical areas across the landscape and adjacent to the shoreline. • Degraded areas and sites with potential for ecological restoration (173-26- 201(3)(c)(iii). The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report generally discusses restoration opportunities in the context of site-specific structural fixes in the shoreline jurisdiction. There are opportunities to provide a more comprehensive discussion of restoration objectives or priorities, as well as a discussion of opportunities outside the shoreline jurisdiction. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 26 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update • Areas of special interest, such as priority habitats, developing or redeveloping harbors and waterfronts, previously identified toxic or hazardous material clean-up sites, dredged material disposal sites, or eroding shorelines (173-26-201(3)(c)(iv). The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report identifies some of these elements for different water bodies or segments of the marine shoreline. There is generally more detail focused on habitat and habitat conditions for the marine environment, and there are opportunities to add a more specific and comprehensive discussion of federally or state listed species or protected habitats. The Report includes occasional discussion of waterfront areas that are experiencing development pressure. Hazardous materials/contaminated sites and dredge disposal sites are not discussed. Eroding shorelines are referenced in the context of marine feeder bluffs, but not riverine channel migration zones. • Conditions and regulations in shoreland and adjacent areas (173-26-201(3)(c)(v). Zoning designations are described occasionally at a watershed or basin scale. There are opportunities to identify and discuss in more detail comprehensive land use, zoning designations, existing shoreline environment designations, and other land use regulations to identify potential conflicts between the condition of shoreline resources and potential development. Surface water management regulations should be considered, specifically in urbanizing or designated urban growth areas to identify applicable detention and water quality treatment requirements for new development and potential impacts on or benefits to shoreline resources. • Existing and potential shoreline public access sites, including public rights of way and utility corridors (173-26-201(3)(c)(vi). Generally, public access locations are identified consistently throughout the Report but are not consistently mapped. The Report also identifies the type of recreational uses in some places but not others (e.g., shellfishing, boating, camping), and the potential for new or expanded public access is not addressed. Information from the County’s applicable long-range plans for parks and open space could be more effectively integrated as it relates to shorelines. • Rapidly developing shorelines, cumulative impacts from historic development (clearing and grading, bulkhead construction, intrusive development on priority habitats), and conversion of shorelines to nonwater-oriented uses (173-26- 201(3)(c)(ix). The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report includes a general introduction section that provides a regional context, but there is no discussion of historic development patterns and use activities that have altered the landscape. This discussion could be included as part of the ecosystem-wide processes discussion. For the marine environment, the Report provides a fair amount of detail on the extent of bulkheads and other shoreline modifications and their general effects on habitats, but it does not specifically identify locations where development of non-water-oriented uses has occurred. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 27 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update • If archaeological or historic resources have been identified in shoreline jurisdiction, consult with the state historic preservation office and local affected Indian tribes regarding existing archaeological and historical information. (173-26-201(3)(c)(x). The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report does not identify or address the location or extent of cultural resources. Shoreline areas (riverine and marine) are generally high probability areas for archaeological resources. We suggest integrating any available Countywide inventories of historic and/or archaeological resources into the Report. • Gaps in existing information. During the initial inventory, local governments should identify what additional information may be necessary for more effective shoreline management. (173-26-201(3)(c)(viii). The Report occasionally notes the lack of data or research for a given location or topic area. We recommend developing a separate “data gaps” chapter to specifically address information that is not readily available but would more effectively aid the development and implementation of the County’s Shoreline Master Program. Characterization of Functions and Ecosystem-wide Processes The existing Report was reviewed to determine which elements described in WAC 173- 26-201(3)(d)(i) entitled, “Characterization of functions and ecosystem-wide processes,” are addressed and whether or not there are opportunities to expand discussion or include missing elements in the update. Each element is described below. • Hydrologic: Transport and storage of water; storing, transporting and stabilizing sediment across the natural range of flow variability; attenuating flow, wave and tidal energy; developing pools, riffles, gravel bars; removing excessive nutrients and toxic compounds; recruitment and transport of large woody debris and other organic material. The Shoreline Inventory and Analysis Report occasionally notes where floodplains have been cut off due to shoreline armoring and, blocking culverts and roads, although it generally relates the function of floodplains to salmonid habitat. Restrictions to tidal exchange in the marine environment from docks and road crossings are also occasionally noted but are not consistently related to habitat functions. Dams and water diversions are introduced, but their effects on shoreline functions and processes are not analyzed on either a shoreline segment or ecosystem-wide scale. • Shoreline Vegetation: maintaining temperature; removing excessive nutrients and toxic compounds, sediment removal and stabilization; attenuation of flow and wave energy; and provision of large woody debris and other organic matter. Generally, the Report does not address this element except for the occasional reference to the shoreline vegetation functions of bluff stabilization and providing large woody debris to rivers and streams. A connection was not usually drawn between riparian condition and streams and rivers listed on the 303(d) list for water temperature, excessive nutrients, or poor fish habitat. There are also opportunities to address the function of vegetation in shorelines in providing shading for spawning forage fish. Adolfson Associates, Inc page 28 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update • Hyporheic functions: removing excessive nutrients and toxic compound, storing water and maintaining base flows, support of vegetation, and sediment storage. The Report does not identify or address shoreline conditions in relation to hyporheic functions. • Habitat for native aquatic and shoreline-dependent birds, invertebrates, mammals; amphibians; and anadromous and resident native fish: Habitat functions may include but are not limited to; space or conditions for reproduction; resting, hiding and migration; and food production and delivery. This element was commonly mentioned in relation to salmonids, but infrequently for birds, invertebrates, mammals, or amphibians. The Report does not include a comprehensive discussion of habitat functions or processes at an ecosystem scale. Methods and Approach for Landscape-scale Assessment We suggest that the landscape-scale assessment of the marine shoreline consider a variety of factors that influence shoreline conditions in Jefferson County, including: • Process controls such as surficial geology, landforms, topography, and bathymetry; • Oceanographic processes; • Nearshore processes including net shore-drift patterns and fluvial influences; • Circulation, nutrient dynamics, sediment transport and heat/light transport across the landscape; • Coastal bluff landslides; and • Land use. We suggest basing the landscape characterization approach for non-marine shorelines (including estuaries and freshwater rivers, streams and lakes) in part on the landscape analysis guidance developed by Stephen Stanley, Susan Grigsby, and Jenny Brown of the Ecology’s Shorelands and Environmental Assistance Program (Ecology publication #05- 06-027). The landscape characterization approach attempts to answer four questions: • What are the key landscape processes that maintain aquatic/shoreline resources and their functions? • Which geographic areas within Jefferson County are most important for maintaining each key process? • How have human activities/land use altered important process areas and to what extent have the key processes been impaired? • Which areas have potential for sustaining or improving resource function through protection and/or restoration? We suggest that the approach to characterizing landscape-scale processes consist of several steps, which are described below: Adolfson Associates, Inc page 29 August 2006 Final Consistency Report Jefferson County SMP Update Step 1: Identify Aquatic Resources and their Contributing Areas; Step 2: Identify Key Landscape Processes; Step 3: Identify Process-Intensive Areas; Step 4: Identify Process Alterations; Step 5: Identify Responses to Process Alterations; and Step 6: Synthesize Information to Identify Restoration and Conservation Opportunities.
