x
x
WHEREAS, over the past several winters, the Quinault River has eroded the bank
supporting Quinault S. Shore Rd at the upstream end of the riprap revetment constructed as an
emergency repair in 2010 near MP 1.2. Now less than 12 feet of width exists between the road
and the river. The bank material upstream of the emergency repair consists of soft alluvium that
will erode quickly in the next high -flow event and could wash out the road.
WHEREAS, Quinault S. Shore Rd is in imminent danger of washing out and maintenance
is necessary to protect the road and the existing riprap revetment.
WHEREAS, provided in RCW 77.55.021(14) the County legislative authority may
determine an imminent danger exists thereby expediting issuance of the written permit for work
to protect property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Jefferson County
Commissioners hereby declare that an imminent danger exists and that the County Department
of Public Works is authorized to enter into contracts and incur obligations to correct this
imminent danger thereby protecting the health and safety of persons and property.

Agenda Date: August 25, 2014
Subject: Declaration of Imminent Danger
Quinault S. Shore Rd MP 1.14 to 1.28
County Road No. 911607
Statement of Issue: A Declaration of Imminent Danger by the Board is necessary in order to
expedite Hydraulic Project Approval by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife
allowing for completion of maintenance work to protect Quinault S. Shore Rd by September
30, 2014.
Analysis /Strategic Goals /Pro's it Con's: During the past several winters, the Quinault River
has eroded the bank supporting the roadway at the upstream end of the riprap revetment
constructed as an emergency repair in 2010 near MP 1.2. Now less than 12 feet of width exists
between the road and the river. The bank material upstream of the emergency repair consists
of soft alluvium and that will erode quickly in the next high -flow event and could wash out
the road. Maintenance is necessary to protect the existing riprap revetment and the road.
Maintenance will consist of extending the revetment approximately 60 feet upstream where
significant bank erosion has occurred.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: The estimated cost for this work is $35,000 to $40,000
and will be funded through the maintenance budget.
Recommendation: Public Works recommends the Board adopt this resolution thereby
declaring that an Imminent Danger exists.
