JEFFERSON COUNTY CONSERVATION FUTURES PROGRAM
PROJECT AGREEMENT
Project Sponsor: Jefferson Land Trust
Project Title: Tarboo Forest Conservation Project — Phases I and II
Project Number: 2013JLTTFo
Approval: Resolution No. 41 -12 on June 25, 2012 and 31 -13 on July 15, 2013
A. Parties to the Agreement
This Project Grant Agreement (Agreement) is entered into between County of Jefferson (County), PO
Box 1220, Port Townsend, Washington 98368 and Jefferson Land Trust (Sponsor), 1033 Lawrence
Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368, and shall be binding upon the agents and all persons acting by or
through the parties.
B. Purpose of the Agreement
This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions by which a grant is made through the Jefferson County
Conservation Futures Fund. The grant is administered by Jefferson County Environmental Health for the
Sponsor for the project named above.
C. Description of Project
The subject Project is described in the attached 2012 Conservation Futures Application (Appendix A)
and 2013 Conservation Futures Application (Appendix B) for the Tarboo Forest Conservation Project
Phases I and lI to the Conservation Futures Fund ( "CFF ") from Jefferson County in an amount not to
exceed $334,000 (Phase I: $167,000; Phase II: $167,000). That sum will be used towards the purchase of
an amended and restated conservation easement on the real property known in the records of the Jefferson
County Assessor as Parcel Numbers (APN) 801321016, 801294002, and (new) 801332002. The matching
parcels are APNs 801291002 and 801204006.
The amended and restated conservation easement (Appendix C) will add nearly 80 acres to the Tarboo
Wildlife Preserve by permanently protecting the forestlands for sustainable, selective forestry, restoration
of old growth forest habitats, and environmental education. Further, the conservation easement will
prohibit residential development, protect the standing timber volume on the property as determined by the
2010 Cronin Timber Cruise (Appendix B pp. 111 -112), and require that any harvest is less than 75% of
annual growth. The easement Grantor is Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI) in favor of Jefferson Land
Trust. NWI purchased a two -acre parcel (APN 801332003) in May of 2014 to expand the easement
beyond the original boundary but, due to an encroachment issue, is also excluding approximately 0.1
acres from the easement on parcel APN 801294002 (Appendix D). A conservation easement on the
158.5 -acre match property (APNs 801291002 and 801204006) was acquired by Jefferson Land Trust on
December 17, 2013 (AFN 9581228). Appendix C also references a minor change to the boundary of
parcel APN 801291002. The appraised value of matching properties (Appendices B p. 25 and E) will
supply the entire match as shown in Section F and no additional evidence of match for acquisition or O &
M costs is required (Appendix F).
D. Term of Agreement
The Project Sponsor's on -going obligation for the above project funded by this Agreement is to provide
maintenance of the site or facility to serve the purpose for which it was intended in perpetuity unless
otherwise identified in this Agreement.
E. Period of Performance
The Project reimbursement period for acquisition expenses shall begin on June 25, 2012. The Project
reimbursement period for acquisition expenses will end on July 15, 2016 unless proof of match is
provided prior to this date. No expenditure made before June 25, 2012 is eligible for reimbursement
unless incorporated by written amendment into this Agreement.
F. Project Funding
The total grant award provided by the Conservation Futures Fund (CFF) for the Project shall not exceed
$334,000.00 and Jefferson County CFF shall not pay any amount beyond that approved herein for
funding of the Project. The Sponsor shall be responsible for all total costs for the Project that exceeds
$754,035 (total project cost equal to Phase I: $376,000 plus Phase II: $378,035). In no event will the CFF
funds expended for this purchase exceed forty-four percent (44 %) of the overall acquisition cost of the
conservation easement. This Project is eligible for reimbursement of project expenditures as described in
the Jefferson County Conservation Futures Program Manual for the 2013 Funding Cycle.
The contribution by the Sponsor toward work on the Project at a minimum shall be as indicated below.
The contribution by the County toward work on the Project is described immediately above and in "C"
above.

Dear Ms. Pokorny,
Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI) is requesting approval from Jefferson County to make
minor modifications to the property boundaries to be encumbered by the proposed
conservation easements for the Tarboo Forest project, proposed for funding in part by
Jefferson County Conservation Futures grants. The project applicant is NWI, project sponsor is
Jefferson Land Trust QLT), and the project was approved for funding in 2012 and 2013 by the
county commissioners.
MATCH PROPERTY
"Carl's Forest ", the match conservation easement, was already reviewed and approved by
Jefferson County and then recorded in December of 2013. The original grant proposal
committed to protect 158 acres comprising adjoining 40 and 80 acre parcels. The only change
made from the original proposal was that 0.5 acres were reserved from the easement east of
Old Tarboo Road due to an unresolved timber trespass encroachment. In addition, the original
estimate of acreage to be protected was probably conservative; the appraisal notes that even
with the 0.5 acres removed, the recorded conservation easement "encumbers approximately
158.5 acres of the 159 acre property". Thus, the project will protect approximately .5 acres
more than the 158 acres stated in the grant proposal.
The change to the legal description is in bold below and shown on the attached map-
Parcel 801291002
The West 1h of the Northeast 1/4 and the Northwest 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 29,
Township 28 North, Range) 1 West, W.M., Jefferson County, Washington;
EXCEPTING THEREFROM Old Tarboo Lake Road,
ALSO EXCEPTING THEREFROM that part of the West 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of
Section 29, Township 28 North, Range 1 West, W.M. Jefferson County, Washington,
lying and being East of the centerline of Old Tarboo Road.
Situate in the County of Jefferson, State of Washington.
Parcel 801204006
The Southwest Y4 of the Southeast r/4 of Section 20, Township 28 North, Range 1 West,
W.M., Jefferson County, Washington;
EXCEPTING THEREFROM that portion conveyed to Jefferson County for Griffith (CRP #86)
County Road under Auditor's File No. 112791.
Situate in the County of Jefferson, State of Washington.
NWI PROPERTY
The grant applications proposed to encumber a total of 78 acres of forestland owned by NWI
by conservation easement (by amending and restating a conservation easement held by
Jefferson Land Trust that currently protects the adjoining Tarboo Wildlife Preserve). NWI now
proposes two minor changes to the Tarboo forest proposal— to 1) remove approximately 0.1
acres from the proposed easement east of Jones Road due to encroachment by the neighbors in
this area, and 2) encumber under easement an adjoining two acre parcel. NWI purchased this
parcel in May of 2014 to protect against possible encroachment problems if the parcel were to
be developed in the future as well as to protect and restore forestland on the parcel itself.
Thus, the project will conserve approximately 79.9 acres under easement rather than the 78
acres proposed in the grant.
Changes to the legal description are in bold and in attached map-
PARCEL 11 [as to be described in the amended conservation easement]:
THE SOUTHEAST '/4 OF THE SOUTHEAST '' /4, SECTION 29; AND THE NORTHEAST '/4 OF
THE NORTHEAST ''/4, SECTION 32; EXCEPTING THEREFROM OLD TARBOO ROAD AND
DABOB ROAD; ALSO EXCEPTING THEREFORM THAT SLIVER OF LAND WITHIN THE
SOUTHEAST' /4 OF THE SOUTHEAST 1/4, SECTION 29, LYING AND BEING TO THE SOUTH
AND EAST OF OLD TARBOO ROAD AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS (ALSO KNOWN AS JONES
ROAD); ALL IN TOWNSHIP 28 NORTH, RANGE 1 WEST, W.M., JEFFERSON COUNTY,
WASHINGTON.
PARCEL 12 [the two acre parcel added to the easement].
THE NORTHWEST % OF THE NORTHWEST' /4 OF SECTION 33 IN TOWNSHIP 28 NORTH,
RANGE 1 WEST OF THE WILLAMETTE MERIDIAN, LYING WEST OF THE ROAD,
JEFFERSON COUTY, WASHINGTON.
Please let me know if these changes are acceptable as NWI and JLT work to finalize the full
easement for your review in the near future.
Sincerely,
�td

Dear Ms. Pokorny,
Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI) is requesting approval from Jefferson County to make
changes to the source of the matching funds for the Tarboo Forest project, proposed for
funding in part by Jefferson County Conservation Futures grants.
The original budget proposed for Phase I and II of the project is detailed on Page 5 of the 2013
grant proposal and is attached. In that proposal, the match was split relatively equally between
both phases. The bulk of the match was conservation easement land value from both the NWI
and Leopold- Freeman properties as well as $53,535 in acquisition related costs.
Because the actual values of the conservation easements determined by 2014 appraisals
exceeded match requirements, NWI is proposing additional easement value be used as match
instead of acquisition related expenses. The main purpose is to reduce paperwork by NWI and
Jefferson County in dealing with reimbursement. Note that the appraisal for the Leopold -
Freeman easement includes consideration for the one -half acre removed from the easement.
While the appraisal of the NWI easement does not include the minor loss for 0.1 acres removed
or the minor gain for 2 acres added, note that the appraised easement value came in higher
than proposed. After the JCCF payment of $334,000 toward the easement value, this still leaves
$223,250 in potential match, of which $91,000 is committed here as originally proposed.
