Take Time places a Family Resource Specialist(FRS) in elementary schools to work with families and children affected by substance abuse and violence. Many kids come in and • self refer because they identify themselves as having substance abuse in the home. The FRS provides services to the child and directly works with the family by repeated interaction to address the parents needs to help improve parenting skills.

Letter Port Townsend City Council from BOH Jean Baldwin stated that the letter has been sent but she has received no official response (copy of letter is in the packet). Jefferson Healthcare Joint Board Follow up Board Member Buhler stated that it is important that both Board of Health&Hospital Board explore what they can do together to improve health. It was suggested that the Hospital &Board of Health meet two times yearly to review the assessment data and information collected and make a determination of priorities. Dr. Locke stated that one of the Public Health standards is to regularly review information about community health. Initiative 901 Jean Baldwin stated that the new law prohibiting all smoking in indoor public areas is • effective December 8th. This will also prohibit anyone from smoking 25 feet from public doors, windows & intakes. The state plans to work with business starting with taverns and bars. This initially be a public education issue & later an enforcement issue for Jefferson County Public Health. The plan is to distribute information and educational packets to businesses in early December and coordinate our efforts with other counties. Hood Canal Meeting Follow-up Hood Canal coordinating council invited Board of Health of Jefferson, Kitsap, & Mason County to a meeting on November 16, 2005. They agreed to encourage Shore Bank to provide low interest loans that would fund septic repair for low income residents. Board Member Rogers described the proposal to develop minimum standards for marine water protection that would need to be met by all 3 counties. The goal is to establish common standards that Mason, Kitsap, & Jefferson Counties can agree on regarding septic systems and their potential impacts on Hood Canal. NEW BUSINESS Public Health Standards Measuring Public Health Performance Dr. Locke reviewed the report that came from Washington State Department of Health consultants evaluating Jefferson County Public Health's performance in meeting statewide public health standards. The report describes which services are documented. Jefferson County is placed with 12 smaller rural counties for comparison and also compared to all 35 health jurisdictions. Overall Jefferson County Public Health is above • some other small counties in meeting the standards. There was significant ebb & flow • between areas focused on by the department and areas under funded or understaffed. This is measured every 3 years. 2006 Fee Schedule Mike McNickle explained the Environmental Health fees work to cover program costs. There is a 3.7% increase overall to the Environmental Health fees per CPI. 16.3% increase additionally for the liquid waste and operation to add additional staff per the recommendation of the Latimore Group. More staffing is needed in the onsite area to decrease the backlog in the septic requests; the goal is a one to two week turn around time between application& issues. Currently it is 4 to 6 weeks turnaround time. It was proposed to have septic repairs subsidized for lower income citizens or waive the fee for the repairs that are needed. This proposal will be discussed separate of adopting the fees in 2006.

Port Townsend, WA -The initiative amends the 1985 Clean Indoor Air Act and now requires that all public and work places be 100% smoke free. This means that on December 8th, Washington will join the growing list of smoke free states. In Jefferson County, 63% of voters voted in favor of Initiative 901. (Note: This article contains information on Initiative 901 and the revised Washington Clean Indoor Air Act (RCW 70.160), but it should not be considered legal advice and cannot be considered as a substitute for legal advice from and representation by a qualified attorney). • The revised Clean Indoor Air Act (RCW 70.160) http://apps.leq.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=70.160 http://www.secondhandsmokesyou.com/air laws/initiative 901.php states that smoking is now prohibited in a public places and workplaces. "Public place" means any place that is used by and open to the public regardless of ownership and regardless of whether a fee is charged for admission. "Workplace" means any area which employees are required to pass through during the course of employment. 1-901 bans smoking in public places and workplaces including but not limited to: bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, skating rinks, casinos, private clubs, reception areas and a minimum of 75% of rooms in hotels. There are no exceptions. The ban applies everywhere, all the time. Smoking is now restricted 25 feet from all doorways, windows and air intakes of any protected space mentioned above. Local health jurisdictions are responsible for enforcement in public and work places. • 4 Smokers are also responsible for complying with the new revised Clean Indoor Air • Law. Individual violators may be ticketed by local law enforcement. Keep in mind that a person passing by on the right of way (public sidewalk or street) while smoking would not be in violation of the "25 foot rule." The new law includes a $100 fine for violators. This is a great leap forward for clean air and for the public's health. We still have a great deal of work ahead of us in terms of educating the community about the new and law and developing a plan for enforcement. We want to make compliance with this new law as easy as possible.

Rationale: The purpose of this policy is to clarify the intent of the new Ordinance as well as the Enforcement Procedures recently adopted and approved by the Jefferson County Board of Health as they relate to junk vehicles. Issue: How does JCPH staff handle a complaint regarding junk vehicles as defined in the new Ordinance? In order to answer this question, the enforcement process should be clarified. First, JCPH staff must receive a complaint regarding junk cars. These complaints need to have the name and telephone number of the person making the complaint. JCPH staff will then contact the person making the complaint to determine whether the complaint is legitimate. If JCPH determines that this is a legitimate complaint and a site visit is required, JCPH staff will visit the property where the complaint was made. JCPH staff will only attempt to contact owners of properties when there is a clear path to the front door. During the first visit to this property, JCPH staff will attempt to contact the property owner or responsible person. If JCPH is unable to speak with anyone on the property (due to a No Trespassing sign attached to a locked gate, for example), JCPH staff will attempt to speak with the property owner or responsible person by telephone and/or by mail. Once contact has been made with the property owner or a responsible person, JCPH staff will explain the complaint to this person. At that time, JCPH will explain the Solid Waste Ordinance definition of a junk vehicle to the property owner or responsible person. This definition is a junk vehicle has to meet at least three of the following requirements: 1) it is 3 years old or older; 2) It is extensively damaged, with such damage to include a broken windshield, missing wheels, tires, motor or transmission; 3) it is inoperable; and 4) has approximate fair market value equal only to the approximate value of the scrap in it. The Jefferson County Board of Health has determined that a property owner can have two junk vehicles on their property; three or more junk vehicles would be considered a • violation of the new Ordinance. If a property is located in an environmentally sensitive area (based on maps from Jefferson County Dept Community Development) then no junk cars may be kept on the property. • If a violation of the Solid and Hazardous Waste Ordinance is verified, then the property owner would be asked to comply with the Ordinance through the use of a Voluntary Compliance agreement with JCPH. In that agreement, the owner will be allowed as much time as is necessary in order to comply. As long as the property owner or responsible person is working toward the goal of complying with the Voluntary Compliance Agreement and correcting the violation, then no further action will be taken JCPH. If no attempt to comply with the Voluntary Compliance Agreement is made during the agreed upon time period, then JCPH staff will send the property owner or responsible person a Notice and Order to Correct Violation letter requesting that the property owner or responsible person correct the violation. Again, if the property owner cooperates and makes an effort to comply, no further action will be taken by JCPH. If all attempts to work with the property owner have failed, then JCPH will issue a Civil Infraction (ticket). Once a civil infraction ticket is issued, a violation is under the jurisdiction of the District Court. The Court will decide if there are mitigating factors, may assess financial penalties, and may dismiss charges if compliance is agreed to. The goal of the new Ordinance is not to write tickets, take away property rights, to fine people, or punish lifestyles. The purpose of the Ordinance is to properly dispose of vehicles that have no value and have an impact on the environment. If the property owner or responsible person can show that s/he intends to keep • and maintain the vehicle(s) for various uses then there would not be a violation of the County Ordinance, and JCPH staff will not have any reason to consider enforcement of County Code. Examples of potential uses include, but are not limited to: 1) the property owner is repairing a vehicle for future use/sale; 2) the property owner is keeping a vehicle for "parts" for other currently running vehicles; 3) the property owner intends to start repairing or using the vehicles sometime the future (as long as the integrity of the vehicle is maintained by proper covering [not blue tarps], proper sheltering, etc.); and 4) if the property owner can demonstrate that s/he is keeping the vehicles from deteriorating. There are other examples of the property owner showing that s/he is complying with the Ordinance. JCPH staff is willing and eager to work with those property owners and responsible people to be in compliance in a fair and reasonable way. It is our hope this policy further demonstrates our genuine intent to fairly enforce the Ordinance on only those junk vehicle violations which are true environmental and/or public health threats. If they are not, JCPH staff will not pursue enforcement actions.

I will make it short. The purpose of the subject Ordinance should be to mitigate identifiable threats to the health and safety of the public,not to regulate lifestyle. I have talked to both Mr. Gardner and Mr.McNIckle of the Health Department regarding the Ordinance. I was surprised by their cooperative attitudes until I found out both bad come from other places and were not institutionally inbred lifelong county employees. If their attitudes towards the public,their mindset regarding interpretations of statues and ordinances and willingness to do the right thing is truly genuine,then the people of Jefferson County are better off for it. • The statute that allows a person to keep solid waste on their own property as long as it is not a nuisance or does not violate a statute or ordinance is RCW 70.95.240(IXa). There needs to be some clarifications as to where the line is between lawful and unlawful behavior. I also think there should be an identifiable ice between solid waste illegally dumped/deposited on property without the consent of the property owner,and what Jefferson County has determined is solid waste and is stored on property with the consent of the property owner. In the past,overzealous county employees have created financial and emotional hardships for citizens that were unnecessary. As long as a person's activities do not injure or endanger the health and safety of others they should be able to use their property as they wish. Because a neighbor thinks something is unsightly does not mean it has to be removed or an expense like a fence be constructed to block the view. The Ordinance needs to have a productive effect on the health and well being of the people of Jefferson County. It should not be used to harass certain lifestyles,interfere with how people manage their property and lives,or unreasonably restrict the use of private property.

By providing access to this survey data, we hope to influence the plans, choices, and decisions of individuals and organizations who plan or implement services for youth. The Goal: Increasing Access to Quality Local Data to Support Prevention Efforts and Services that Improve the Lives of Area Youth The Report Partnership Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health came together to form a community partnership to guide the release and distribution of the wonderful asset we have in the Healthy Youth Survey data. These partner organizations provided guidance for the outline and development of the Healthy Youth Survey report. Jefferson County Public Health provided staff to support the preparation and writing of the report. Partner organizations and interested individuals assisted in the editing of the report. The report was prepared by Kellie Ragan, Assessment Coordinator, Jefferson County Public Health. Special thanks to Rebecca Mares and Mary Ann O'Garro, Epidemiologists for Thurston County Public Health & Social Services Department for their invaluable technical assistance. Key Survey Support Organizations . We also would like to recognize the people and organizations who made this report possible because they worked to provide and gather the data. It is because of the willingness of area public school students, who participated in the Healthy Youth Survey 2004, that we have any data at all. Students had the opportunity to participate due to the time and effort of area public school staff, area school districts support, and assistance provided by the Educational Service District 114 serving Jefferson County. Numerous local and state agencies provided the financial resources, technical assistance, and project oversight that was needed to assure that the Healthy Youth Survey process was conducted successfully in the State of Washington. Agencies that sit on the Joint Survey Planning Committee (JSPC) and govern the survey planning process are the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Social and Health Services' Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse (DASA), Office of Community Development (OCD), Family Policy Council (FPC), and the contractor, RMC Research Corporation. Without these organizations, state and county level data on these valuable topics would not have been available to for Jefferson County to use.

The methods used to collect, analyze, and report data influence the way in which it is best understood or the context in which it is best used. Data caveats are underlying issues or circumstances that may affect the way in which the data could be viewed or used. In this report there are three general caveats and several data display issues to be aware of. 1. The Students Represented by the Survey: For the Healthy Youth Survey, only "public” school students in Grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 were selected to participate in the process. Private school students and home-school students were not included in the survey. The survey therefore does not represent all youth in the grades selected, but only those in public education settings. In 2003, approximately 96% of all students (kindergarten through 12th grade) in Jefferson County were enrolled in a public school. Students served in alternative, correctional, or vocational public school settings were asked to participate in the survey. However, students in these categories did not participate as fully as students in traditional school settings. An additional group of students that may have been less likely to participate in the 12th grade survey were Running Start Students. Running Start students attend all or a portion of their classes at a local community college campus which means that many may not have been present when the survey was given. Students who dropped out of school were not included in the survey because the survey was school based. Dropping out of school has been associated with some of the issues of concern in this survey, such as substance abuse, which may mean that troubling behaviors may be slightly under-reported. In the 2002-2003 school year, about 6% of students between grades 9-12 dropped out of public school in Thurston County. For more information on school enrollment or dropout data, visit the Washington • State Office of the Superintendent of Public Schools website at http://www.k12.wa.us/dataadmin/ 2. Language of Survey: The survey was primarily given in English, however other language versions of the survey were developed. Guidance on how to address student language issues was not given to participating schools uniformly from the state, rather local arrangements were made to address language barriers. The way in which accommodations were addressed for students who have difficulty with English is not known and may vary. Approximately 7% of Jefferson County students completing the Healthy Youth survey said that a language other than English was usually spoken at home. This figure closely mirrors findings from Census 2000 which showed about 9% of the county's residential population spoke a language other than English at home. 3. Level of Participation by Grade: County level data is included in this report for all grades. The planning group overseeing the survey determined that 70% of students in each grade of interest needed to complete a survey to met the ideal participation standard set for Healthy Youth. If this standard was met it helps assure the data collected truly represents youth across the county. When a participation standard fell between the 40-69% range, it may still have been suitable for use, but needed to be examined first to determine how representative it was. For more information about student participation see the report section "About Student Participants". The table below identifies participation rates by grade: Jefferson County Washington State Grade 6: 75% . Grade 8: 72% Grade 10: 61% Grade 12: 56% Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health Data Display Issues Several decisions were made when designing this report around the display and arrangement of data from the Healthy Youth Survey. It may be helpful to the reader to know more about these choices and • how they affect the data that is presented. * Percentages not Counts Data from the survey was presented as percentages (for example 10%) rather than counts (for example 200 students). It is more helpful to know a percentage than a count because it is generally easier for people to use data presented this way. Percentages provide a way to make comparisons between answers to questions or differences between age groups. For example, if we know that 400 12th grade students said they used marijuana in the past month that is all we know. Rather than report this number, we report that 23% used marijuana. By knowing this figure we can use mathematics to work out other things such as, this means about 1 in 4 grade 12 students used marijuana and that 77% or 3 in 4 did not use marijuana. We can also compare this percentage to another, such as recent use of alcohol, and see which substance 12th graders are more likely to use. The formula used to calculate percentages follows: Number of People with a 'Specific' Answer — Divided by Total Number of People Answering the Question — Multiplied by 100 (Number/Total X 100). * Combining Survey Answers In the report, some tables included data that was obtained by combining question answers. The choice to combine answers was made primarily for the following reasons: A) to collapse a long list of possible answers into a more user friendly set of answers, B) the given breakdown of answers was not particularly meaningful, and C) combined answers provided more instructive data for graphing or developing highlight statements for the topic. Examples of situations were this might have occurred are as follows: A. When asking students if they had ever used a particular drug, it is helpful to know if they started using at an early age. Therefore, data was organized to also include a category showing the percentage of youth who first tried the drug of interest by age '12 or younger'. B. A series of questions asked students to choose from the following answer format NO!, no, yes, YES! An explanation of the difference between these answers (no versus NO!) is given at the beginning of the survey, but can be found nowhere near the actual questions using the answer format. Due to this survey design issue, all questions using this answer format were collapsed to show only whether a student said No or Yes. C. With some questions it seemed useful to create a new category that summarized the percentage of students who had used a substance "any" time in the last month rather than just knowing they used once or even five times over a month. By creating the "any" category, a more descriptive graph and highlights section could then be developed. If interested in seeing the original question answer options used in the survey, go to the "Appendix" section of this report and look at the Survey Forms used. If interested in accessing data by the original answer option breakdowns, please contact the Jefferson County Public Health using the information provided in the report Section titled "Introduction — Report Contact Information". • Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health * Missing 6th Graders When using data in the report, several topics have no data listed for 6th grade students. If these students are missing from tables and graphs it is due to one of following reasons: A) the question was not asked of 6th grade students on their survey form or B) the question 6th graders were asked differed enough in how it was worded from the one asked of older students that the answers were • incomparable. The 6th grade survey had fewer questions than the 8th, 10th and 12th grade survey forms which meant that less data was collected overall for this group. Students in 6th grade were asked several similar but differently worded questions in the Healthy Youth Survey. Question wording greatly affects how individuals respond which in turn may affect the percentages assigned to answers. Results were included from the 6th grade survey if the same basic question wording was asked of all students. An example of inconsistent wording can be found in a question that asked about seriously considering suicide. Students in 6th were asked if they had ever seriously "thought about killing themselves", however students in 8th, 10th and 12th grade were asked if they ever seriously "considered attempting suicide". The wording used two different ways of talking about suicide and could yield different answers. Data is available on questions not included in this report but asked of 6th grade students. If interested in viewing the 6th Grade survey go to the "Appendix" section of the report and review Survey Form C. If interested in obtaining data for survey questions not included in the report, please contact the Jefferson County Public Health using the information provided in the report Section titled "Introduction — Report Contact Information". Estimates and Confidence Intervals When surveys are conducted, a segment or portion of the population of interest is selected to be surveyed. This is done because the population of interest is rarely small enough to realistically survey everyone. Due to advances in science and statistics, every member of the population of interest does not have to be surveyed to assure that answers reflecting the whole group are obtained. If quality scientific methods are used, such as randomly selecting participants, we can then take the answers of the people who were surveyed and "generalize" them to describe the entire population of interest. Surveys produce estimates, that is an approximate calculation of the true answer. When estimates are produced, an additional statistical calculation is usually done to generate Confidence Intervals. Confidence intervals give you a "range" with which to surround your estimate. This range or confidence interval tells you that if"everyone" was surveyed, not just your "sample", the true answer to the question of interest would be highly likely to fall within it. If you picked a different "sample" of people it is very likely that the way they answer may slightly vary. Confidence intervals help to quantify this possible variation. An example of how Confidence Intervals are used follows. When 6th grade students were surveyed 9% said they had been told by a doctor that they had asthma. If you are really interested in knowing what "all" 6th grade students would say, not just your "sample", use the confidence interval associated with the survey answer of interest. In this case that would mean between 8-10% of "all" students in 6th grade had been told by a doctor that they had asthma because the confidence interval was (±1% which means you add and subtract 1% from the 9% figure). The essence of a confidence interval's purpose is to allow you to develop a range where the "true" answer lies, the answer that would be given if every single person of interest was surveyed. For more information about survey methods, confidence intervals for the questions asked, or about confidence intervals in general, please contact the Jefferson County Public Health using the information provided in the report Section titled "Introduction — Report Contact Information". Baseline Data and Past Surveys The Healthy Youth Survey2002 was best be viewed as "baseline" data. Baseline can be described as • the point or line from which change over time begins to be measured. For example, in 2002 we knew Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health that 30% of surveyed county 8th grade students felt sad or hopeless. In 2004, 34% said they felt sad or hopeless, allowing a comparison of changes in data over time. Being able to compare data trends over time is very important to organizations that provide services or programs geared towards producing positive change. Being able to measure change over time, that is improved movement from the • baseline, helps to determine whether any long term measurable effects are being seen in actual student behavior or perceptions. Due to the differences in how the 2002 youth survey was conducted compared to previous youth surveys, we suggest that data from 2002 be used as a baseline. If there is a need to compare this data to previous or other surveys covering similar issues, we suggest that care be taken. When previously conducted youth surveys are compared to the Healthy Youth Survey 2002, numerous differences in how they were organized and what process was used to conduct them can be found. Examples of the differences between youth surveys include: the forms and questions were provided in different ways to students (in 1992 schools were allowed to volunteer to be part of the survey compared to other years where only randomly selected schools could participate) and different standards were assigned to determine when a county received county level data (for Healthy Youth 70% of students had to participate to be considered valid for the county but in other years only 50% of students participated and county data was made available). • • "+4u5,:Y-;a: sws..a.,s:A'f.,:k.-X> u 's3 - ¢`„.kaSL•'2fi:?isimr`ai;Y.e"w,t:Gsnc "ec !, ,.:.u . .u,o.,':' .ax ,...t.;2.,_. 8.s:wnL.c. .:':i .,. -,. .,,`�f✓.r... ad,. „ <ro,.a. ix,19 ..., .. .,a 5os,..9.F✓.mrke {� Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health Healthy Youth Survey ‘ HEALTHY YOUTH SURVEY Jefferson County Public School Students Respond About Student Participants The Survey Target Group Public school students in 6th 8th10th, and 12th grades are the target of the statewide Healthy Youth Survey. About Survey Participation and Generalization An important purpose of conducting a survey is to determine, in general, what is occurring among a specific group of people. Surveys allow you to generalize, that is to make assumptions about a whole group based on answers from a portion of the group. To assist users of the data, a guideline was developed to establish how much student participation should be seen before generalizations to the whole group are made. A participation guideline or goal is generally adopted and defined for all survey processes. For the Healthy Youth Survey, the student participation rate was calculated using the number of students that were enrolled in public schools at the grade of interest and the number of students that returned a"valid" survey. All surveys are reviewed for completeness and integrity of the responses. Surveys that meet the criteria for this review are labeled "valid". Surveys where the majority of answers were missing, would be an example of a survey that would not be valid. Additionally, in this survey students were asked if they answered it honestly. Students who said they were not honest when completing the survey would have their surveys pulled which means their answers would not be included in the findings found in this report. For this survey, it was determined that a minimum participation rate of 70% of all students within each of the four grades would "most likely" assure the findings were representative and generalizable to all students in the county. In essence, when participation rates reached this level for the survey there was a reasonable belief that answers from any missing students would most likely not change the findings. For this survey, it was determined that a student participation rate of 40-69%-"may" be representative of all students in the county. As an extra measure of • assurance, the data was reviewed to see what types of students or schools did not participate at all or had low participation. In looking at missing schools or low participation schools, a judgment can be made about whether or not they differed substantially from those who took the survey. Student Participation Standards Jefferson County student participation in the Healthy Youth Survey 2004 met the 70% and above guideline standard for 10th grade. A participation rate of 70% or greater is highly likely to be representative of all students in the county for the grades of interest. A review of the schools and students that did not participate showed that those missing did not greatly differ demographically(for example, racially or ethnically)from those who took the survey. Jefferson County student participation among grades 6th 8th and 12th fell below the 70% standard but within the 40-69% standard. A participation rate in this range means that the results may be representative of all students in the county in the grades of interest. When looking at the 6th and 8th grade participation rate you can see that it was very close to the 70% guideline with 65%-66% of students participating. A review of non-participating schools showed that the main difference between those that did and did not do the survey was type of school setting. Students in alternative schools or juvenile correction facility schools were less likely to have participated in the survey. In 2004, about 56% of all students in 12th grade completed the survey. However, the school type was more likely to account for who was missing from the findings. Students in alternative, vocational, or juvenile correction facility schools were less likely to have participated in the 12th grade survey. It is also important to note that Running Start students may not be included in the survey. Though counted in enrollment numbers, these students are off the main school grounds a portion or all of the school day taking classes at the community college campus. • Data provided as a Community Partnership Project of Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson County Public Health Survey Participation Healthy Youth Survey Participation by Grade, Jefferson County 2004 • Partici•ation b Grade 6 13th.. 10tFt_ 12fh Number of Students Enrolled TBA TBA TBA TBA Number of Students Returning Valid Surveys TBA TBA TBA TBA �� rvy Part?Jiitionikite TBA Tg, Tg N ,e TBA TBA TBA TBA Number of Schools Participating TBA TBA TBA TBA Source for Student Enrollment Data: Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Demographics such as the sex, racial identity, and age can help those using the survey data. The Healthy Youth Survey asks students in 6th 8th 10th and 12th grade a basic set of questions to capture how they describe themselves demographically. These • questions include: How old are you?, Are you female or male?, and How do you describe yourself(racially)? Public schools students can vary widely in age, particularly for those in high school grades. Schools are able to serve students up to the age of 21 in various programs such as special education and in the alternative school setting.

When looking at racial identity data for 6th and 8th grade students, it appears that students had difficulty or chose not to classify themselves using traditional racial breakdowns. An unusually high percentage of students chose to select the"other" race category. It may be helpful to know that ethnic identity and racial identity are often difficult for people to separate. Examples of ethnic identity include classifying yourself according to your or your family's country of origin, such as Russian or Brazilian. Self-classification of race seemed to be problematic for younger students. Related Public School Data Schools annually collect information on the demographics of students enrolled. Schools do not use the same racial classification options that the Healthy Youth Survey used, which means the data below is not directly comparable to data above describing the racial identity of student participants. By looking at the breakdown of race in the survey and in school enrollment it does however show that, with the exception of the white race category, the percentages fairly closely mirror each other.

This project is funded by the Department of Ecology through the Washington State legislature to begin dealing with the dissolved oxygen problem in Hood Canal. This protocol describes, in great detail,how JCPH will conduct the project. Please note that the appendices are not attached as they are still being developed. Currently, JCPH is conducting the shoreline survey portion of the project. JCPH is battling difficult winter tides, but progress is being made. Thus far, no pollution sources have been identified. If you have any questions about this protocol or the Hood Canal project,please contact me at 385-9436. Thank you for your time. • • YI • MANUAL OF PROTOCOL SANITARY SURVEY PROJECTS Q► December 2005 FUNDS PROVIDED BY WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY 1 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects MANUAL OF PROTOCOL: SANITARY SURVEY PROJECTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION Fecal waste from warm-blooded animals can contain pathogenic bacteria and viruses that cause human diseases such as Shigellosis, Campylobacter enteritis, viral Gastroenteritis, Giardiasis, and Cryptosporidiosis. Coliform bacteria is the indicator that is used to assess the presence and level of fecal waste in surface and ground waters. The Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington (Chapter 173-201A Washington Administrative Code [WAC]; hereafter referred to as "water quality standards"), and the beach classification criteria set forth in Recreational Shellfish Beaches (Chapter 246-280 WAC) and Sanitary Control of Shellfish (Chapter 246-282 WAC) currently use surface water E. coli concentrations to determine whether or not surface waters and shellfish tissue are fit for human contact and consumption, respectively. Fecal contamination of surface waters is predominately a result of surface water runoff. During rain events, runoff transports pollutants, such as fecal waste, to local streams, bays and lakes. There are point sources of fecal contamination (permitted discharges such as wastewater treatment plant outfalls) and nonpoint sources of fecal contamination (such as failing on-site sewage systems (OSS), inadequate animal waste management, sewage spills and leaks). Point sources of fecal contamination are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program. NPDES permits require that sewage spills be reported to Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), Washington State Department of Health Shellfish Program, and Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH). Based on the results of current and historical pollution investigations, field observations, and land use patterns, failing OSS and inadequate animal waste management are the major nonpoint sources of fecal pollution in Jefferson County. JCPH estimates that four to eight percent of the approximately 7500-9000 OSS in Jefferson County may be in a state of failure at any given time. The EPA and Ecology have identified livestock and pet wastes as the other major fecal pollution sources in the United States and Washington State. The identification and correction of nonpoint source pollution is primarily the responsibility of local jurisdictions in Washington State. JCPH promulgated rules and regulations for OSS (Ord 08-0921-00) and solid waste (Ord 09-1020-05) under the authority of Chapters 70.05, 70.46, and 70.95 Revised Code of Washington and Chapters 173-304, 246-203, and 246-272 Washington Administrative Code. These rules and regulations authorize JCPH to enforce the 2 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects proper design, construction, operation and maintenance of OSS; and the handling, storage, collection, transportation, treatment, utilization, processing and final disposal of all solid wastes, including animal wastes. JCPH is the main agency responsible for identifying and prioritizing nonpoint fecal pollution, and implementing fecal pollution correction programs in Jefferson County. The purpose of this manual of protocol is to detail and explain how JCPH conducts Sanitary Survey projects in Jefferson County to identify and correct fecal pollution. 2.0 GOALS The goals of the SANITARY SURVEY program are to: • Protect public health and environmental health from fecal pollution impacts; • Prevent and respond to shellfish classification downgrades or closures; and • Prevent and respond to State 303(d) listing of water bodies. 3.0 OBJECTIVES The preceding goals will be accomplished through implementation of the following • objectives: • Investigate and identify specific sources of fecal pollution. • Enforce timely correction of confirmed fecal pollution sources pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. • Provide information and technical assistance to landowners, residents, and business owners regarding the proper operation and maintenance of OSS. • Inform landowners, residents, and business owners of financial assistance opportunities that may be available to correct fecal pollution sources. • Prevent fecal pollution by educating property owners and residents regarding operation and maintenance of OSS and adequate management of animal waste. • Report fecal pollution investigation, correction, and resulting water quality improvements or declines to local, state, tribal entities, and the public. 4.0 STANDARD SANITARY SURVEY OPERATING PROCEDURES The JCPH developed the Sanitary Survey program to prioritize and address water quality problem areas in JeffersonCounty. Top priority areas are thoroughly assessed for land uses and their relationship to water quality. Door-to door Sanitary Survey inspections are conducted in selected top priority areas to identify and correct fecal • pollution sources such as failing OSS and inadequate waste management. Sanitary 3 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects Survey inspectors provide free technical assistance to guide property owners through S the process of correcting identified pollution sources. The survey has a strong educational component to help property owners and residents prevent fecal pollution of surface waters and get the most life possible from their OSS. Letters of approval for the JCPH 's Sanitary Survey process are contained in Appendix A. The following standard operating procedures shall be utilized for all fecal Sanitary Survey projects: 4.1 Public Notification Public notification procedures consist of the following: 1. An office evaluation of project area-related information; 2. An initial project area visit; 3. An evaluation of water quality in the project area; and 4. Notification to the public of area water quality and the upcoming Sanitary Survey project. 4.1.1 Office Evaluation • Before visiting a project area, conducting a parcel inspection, or initiating contact with the public, an office evaluation of the project area shall be conducted to review all available background information regarding the project area. Contact other agencies that have jurisdiction over the project area to coordinate with other educational or water quality efforts underway. Explore potential partnerships with other jurisdictions addressing water quality issues. An office evaluation consists of gathering any and all information related to the project area's history, geography, topography, geology, hydrology, water quality, population density, land use, development patterns, and if available, any development plans for the future. The office evaluation should be conducted by the staff members who will be in the field and interfacing with the public. An adequate office evaluation should enable staff to answer the following questions: • What soil types are prevalent in the area? • What is the area's topography and what are the major drainage patterns? • What surface waters are in the area? • Is recent surface water quality data available? • What is the storm water drainage pattern of the area? • Is there evidence of a seasonal high-water table in the area? • When was the area initially developed? • How many parcels are in the area? 4 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • • What is the average parcel size? • How many residences are in the area? • Are the residences served by private or public water supplies? • How many residences have sewage disposal permits on file? • How many sewage complaints in the area were confirmed OSS failures in the past five years? How many water quality complaints in the area were confirmed as violating E. coli water quality standards? • What were the causes of the confirmed OSS failures? • Have OSS system repairs been successful? • Is the area near or adjacent to a sanitary sewer system? What are the sewer boundaries? • How many high priority farms have been identified by the Jefferson County Conservation District in the area? • Has a Sanitary Survey been performed in the past? What were the results? Table 1 summarizes important information sources for the office review. Once sufficient background information is gathered, the information should be organized into a reference file. This information will be needed during the project (i.e., public notice and inquiry, statements to the press, and for obtaining search warrants (see Section 4.3.3 for discussion) and for the final report.

Confirm storm water drainage patterns of the Sanitary Survey area; 2. Map and sample surface waters (storm water in roadside ditches, pipe discharges, streams, marine water) for fecal bacterial concentrations to assist in identifying priority areas. 3. Determine project boundaries. 4. Look for potentially inadequate animal waste management for livestock, pets or wildlife, which could be contributing to E. coli water quality problems in the area; and 5. Count and log addresses of the residences in the Sanitary Survey area to be inspected. 4.1.3 Water Quality Evaluation Gather and evaluate available water quality monitoring data for the area. A properly conducted shoreline evaluation, in conjunction with JCPH and other available marine • and freshwater monitoring data, helps to pinpoint E.coli pollution "hot-spots", as well as to develop baseline water quality data in the Sanitary Survey area. The following procedures shall be followed when conducting a shoreline evaluation: 1. Coordinate with the laboratory schedule to reserve your sampling schedule in advance. See the Environmental Health Director for questions. You must give the laboratory advance notice of the sample date(s), what type of sample you are collecting, the anticipated number of samples, and anticipated time of arrival. Check tidal conditions to ensure that you will have adequate access to the shoreline. Ensure that adequate rainfall and saturated soil conditions are present in the project area before scheduling a wet weather shoreline evaluation. 2. Consider preparing a short informational flyer about area water quality to distribute to curious residents. Submit to Environmental Health Director for approval. Because this will likely be the first contact with the public, it is very important that the inspector be confident, cordial, well organized, and professional. 3. Gather and organize the necessary field equipment (see Appendix B). Always bring a digital camera and GPS unit to document shoreline outfalls. 6 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • This will make confirmation sampling much easier, and help you identify property addresses. 4. In the office map the "drop-in" and "get-out" access points. These points can be a public access area like a public boat launch, or a property parcel where consent has been granted to access the shoreline. 5. When you have arrived at the "drop-in" point, park your vehicle in a place that will not be an obstruction. Place your JCPH business card in the window so that passers-by will know to whom the vehicle belongs. 6. Refer to Section 4.4 and Appendix C for the proper quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures for collecting, labeling and transporting water samples. Remember to always wear latex gloves while sampling since any discharge may contain untreated sewage. You may want to wear two sets of gloves when working on rough shorelines. Use sanitary procedures and wash hands as soon as possible after sampling. (See Section 4.2.1 for additional field safety issues). 7. Enter a sampling header in the field notebook including project name, drop in and out locations, date, personnel, and weather and tidal conditions. • 8. Inspectors are responsible for knowing the rules for property access and consent. Appendix D contains a property access and consent discussion. 9. Once on the shoreline, collect water samples from all significant flowing discharge points including: storm water outfalls, yard drains, bulkhead drains, drainage ditches and seeps. Sometimes discharges are too small to sample. In these instances, if there are multiple small discharges at a particular property parcel, collect a composite sample for screening purposes. Work out a sampling strategy ahead of time with the Environmental Health Director if you have any questions. 10.Record the time a sample was collected and describe every sampled discharge location in the project field notebook. Each sample description should be "parcel-orientated". Note details in the field notebook as clearly as possible so that data collected from each spot can be tracked over time, and locations can be resampled by different staff. Note any characteristics that will help recognize the property from upland access so that the property address can be identified if necessary. Record latitude and longitude of the discharge with a GPS unit and take a digital photograph for the record. Note observations such as animals (waste or tracks), unusual colors, odors, or matting. • 7 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects 11.AII sampled discharges with E. coli results exceeding 200 EC/100mI shall be . tentatively identified as "hot-spots" in need of confirmation sampling. All "hot spots" shall be re-sampled for verification of E. coli contamination as soon as possible. Work with the project lead or Environmental Health Director, and the lab to coordinate re-sampling. 12.Prioritize "hot spots" for investigation by calculating the geometric mean value (GMV) of the initial and confirmation sample. Rank in priority order with the highest GMVs the top priority as follows: Indicator High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority Organism Fecal Coliform (E. > 500 E. coli / 100m1 200 to 499 E. coli/ <200 E. coli / 100 ml co/i) 100m1 4.1.4 Public Notification Public notification is the key to high participation by project area property owners and residents. After the office evaluation, initial project area visit, and water quality evaluation are complete, the public within the Sanitary Survey boundary is notified of the JCPH 's intent to conduct a Sanitary Survey. The information presented should be direct, concise, and complete. The information • should contain, at minimum: • Why and where the Sanitary Survey is being conducted; • Who is doing the Sanitary Survey, and by what authority; • How and when the Sanitary Survey will be conducted; • What will happen when an OSS is found to be failing; • Who to contact for answers to questions. Assistance in developing the format and content of Sanitary Survey project information and the choice of how to distribute the information to the public is made in consultation with the Environmental Health Director. The JCPH issues a press release discussing the reasons for the project, the time frame for completion, and the time and location of a public meeting where residents can learn more about the project. All press releases must be approved by the Environmental Health Director before they are disseminated. The JCPH has found that doorhangers, hand-delivered door-to-door in a project area, serve the dual purpose of providing information about the project and inviting the public to a public meeting. Sign postings, utility bill enclosures, etc., can also be effectively utilized depending upon the target audience and time frame. • 8 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects ID Because this notification will likely be the first contact with the public, it is very important that the inspector be confident, cordial, well organized, and professional. Remember that you will be inspecting private properties to identify pollution sources. Your job will be much easier if the public's perception of you is that of an objective and trustworthy professional. When delivering doorhangers, inspectors introduce themselves, explain the project briefly, give property owners/residents a copy of the doorhanger, and gather contact information. For those not home, leave a doorhanger secured at the front door or both doors if unsure which is the front. Bring plastic bags and thumb tacks to protect those left in unprotected areas. Please refer to Appendix D for a property access and consent discussion. Although JCPH inspectors have the legal right to access a property marked "No Trespassing", Sanitary Survey inspectors offer a higher level of respect to the property owner by leaving the doorhanger in a plastic bag tacked to a gate or fence post. A road data log form (see Appendix F) is a valuable tool when familiarizing yourself with a new Sanitary Survey area. Use it to keep track of properties that have received doorhangers, to keep an accurate count of properties in a Sanitary Survey area, and to keep track of the owner and resident (phone number and address) for each property. . Knowing the name of the resident on return visits is professional and personable. Confirm addresses and request contact information for the resident and property owner when delivering doorhangers. The data from the road data log form is entered into an Excel project "tickler" file (see Appendix G) on the common computer directory to track each parcel's characteristics and status through the project. The informational public meeting is held at a location as close as possible to the project area. The JCPH presents a short program of project information and answers questions. Try to identify any local community groups to determine and address their water quality concerns. Invite other interested parties in the local area to be available to answer questions related to water quality in the watershed. Local government representatives should also be invited including the area County Commissioner, the Mayor and City Council (if applicable, and the Ecology Grant Officer). The JCPH has found that serving light refreshments helps build relationships. Holding meetings from 4 to 7 PM allows both day shift working people and retired people who prefer not to drive at night access to the meeting and provides for one-on-one staff/ citizen communication. • 9 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • 4.2 Field Preparation 4.2.1 Field Safety Before setting out into the field for the initial project area visit or individual parcel inspections, it is essential to be mentally prepared, properly equipped and organized. Use the field equipment list (Appendix B) as a guide. Staff must read and be knowledgeable of the field safety and quality assurance and quality control sections (see Section 4.4) prior to initiating Sanitary Survey projects. Please see the Environmental Health Director if there are any questions regarding readiness to proceed with the project before initiating project-related fieldwork. Personal safety in the field is extremely important. JCPH inspectors should always adhere to the guidelines herein when conducting field inspections and investigations. Refer to Appendix D for a discussion of property access and consent. Inspectors should inform the project lead or the Environmental Health Director of the area planned for inspections for the day, and an approximate time of return. If there is more than one inspector in the field at a time, inform one another of the areas to be • inspected and an approximate return time to the office. Inspectors are encouraged to ask another inspector to "ride along" if they are uncomfortable visiting a particular property alone or if they want another "set of eyes" to assess a possible problem or violation. However, there are certain circumstances where "ride alongs" are probably not necessary including consecutive visits (with owner/renter permission) to a property undergoing a dye test, etc. Use your best professional judgment in determining where and when to ask for a "ride along" — safety is our first concern but we also need to consider financial impacts. Contact your supervisor if you are unsure. Cut the interview short if the homeowner shows any signs of hostility. If an individual makes threatening gestures towards you, leave the property immediately. Do not inspect the property in this situation. Note on the form that you were denied entry. Inform your supervisor when you return to the office. 4.2.1.1 Handling Dogs Dogs can be a major threat in the field. Training and informational materials can assist the inspector in the field to evaluate and avoiding potentially dangerous situations. Dog treats can be an effective tool to make friends with dogs in a new project area. Pepper spray is available — contact your supervisor to receive the prerequisite training. Prior to entering a property, look for signs of dogs, such as doghouses or kennels. Rattle the fence (if available) and/or call out your name and affiliation to draw attention . 10 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • to yourself. Usually, if there is a dog on the property, the dog will sense your arrival and bark. If you do not believe there are dogs present on the property, continue to follow the main path to the front door. If there is a dog on the property, use your best professional judgment to decide if the dog is friendly or not. If the dog is friendly, continue with your approach to the front door. If not, note the address of the home, and if possible, the homeowner's name, and contact the homeowner/occupant by phone to schedule an appointment. You can also leave your business card at the door or gate with the date and time you were on the site. 4.2.2 Field Equipment List A list and description of the standard and specialized equipment necessary to conduct inspections and investigations is located in Appendix B. Ordering new equipment and making repairs to existing equipment are handled through the Environmental Health Director. Report all instances of equipment breakage or loss as soon as possible. 4.3 Property Parcel Inspection Property parcel inspection shall, at minimum, consist of the following: 1. Contacting the property owner/occupant and conducting the informational interview ; • 2. Obtaining access and consent to perform a field inspection and assessment of OSS performance; and 3. Obtaining access and consent to perform a field inspection and assessment of other potential sources of fecal pollution. 4.3.1 Contacting the Property Owner/Occupant, and Conducting the Informational Interview Three attempts are made to contact each property owner/occupant by phone messages or personalized business cards left at the door with a note. You can utilize the JCPH 's membership in the state of Washington's Department of Licensing IVIPS system to get vehicle registration information from automobile and boat license numbers. Please refer to Appendix H for system instructions. You can use the registered owner's name to look up the phone number in the phone book. A letter is sent to the property owner requesting participation if there is no response. Property parcels where the owner/resident does not respond are rated "Did Not Participate". Non-participating properties are evaluated by reviewing any OSS records on file and determining the proximity of surface waters to the property. Those parcels draining to surface waters should be investigated during wet weather conditions by collecting water samples leaving and entering the property. Roadside ditches are considered waters of the state and any surface waters flowing in or into them may be • legally sampled. 11 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects Inspectors will attempt to contact non-participating owners of properties with surface • water flows that equal or exceed 200 E. COLI/100m1 to request a dye test of the OSS and/or field inspection of their animal waste management practices. If consent is not given, a search warrant may be possible if you suspect a failing OSS (see Appendix and Section 4.3.2). Contact the Environmental Health Director before taking any action. Inspectors conduct owner or occupant interviews in person or by phone. Record the interview information on the survey form (Appendix J). Record the owner/occupant's answers carefully, and answer all questions honestly and to the best of your ability. If you do not know an answer, indicate that you will find out. Field visits are excellent opportunities to distribute educational materials. Water Quality program brochures are a good resource for information regarding pollution sources. Educating the public is the most effective tool the JCPH has to prevent future fecal pollution. 4.3.2 Search Warrants It may be possible to obtain an administrative search warrant to conduct a dye test of an OSS if we have data that shows the OSS may be causing bacterial contamination of commercial or recreational shellfish growing areas, or fresh waters that discharge into them. Refer to Appendix I for a copy of state legislation authorizing the procurement of . administrative search warrants. Generally, administrative search warrants will only be used near the end of a Sanitary Survey project to address suspected OSS failures. The decision to pursue an administrative search warrant will be made in coordination with the Environmental Health Director, the Health Officer, and the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. 4.3.3 Field Inspection and Assessment of OSS Performance Two copies of OSS records for each individual property parcel in the project area are made for use during the individual property inspections. The copies are attached to a Sanitary Survey form (see Section 4.3.1 for discussion, and Appendix J for an example). One copy is distributed to the homeowner/occupant during the survey for their records. Staff must be sure to obtain clear consent from the property owner and/or renter to conduct the survey. Refer to Appendix D for specific details about property access and consent. If you are refused consent, bring the information back to the office to discuss it with the Environmental Health Director. If the house has OSS permit records, use the records to help identify the location of the septic tank and drainfield. If the house has no permit records, ask the owner/occupant • 12 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects to indicate (if known) the location of the system components, the year installed and any prior owner names. Search OSS records under prior owner names and send the owner a copy of any records found. If OSS information is unavailable, try locating the system by using the following techniques: • Look for very lush, green grass growing in obvious stripes. Stripes generally indicate the location of drainfield laterals. Other indicators that may show the location of a drainfield could be depressions, dead or dying grass, or no grass growth at all. • Use the plumbing vent pipe on the roof to identify where the plumbing leaves the house. Generally, the largest of these pipes is often directly above the point where the waste drain passes through the foundation. The drain location can also be determined by observing the house plumbing through a crawl space or basement. The septic tank is usually down gradient of the house, in a straight line from the plumbing about five to ten feet from the foundation. Unless the system has a pump or siphon, the drainfield is usually in a direct line down slope from the septic tank. Review the permit as-built and compare to the existing plot layout. Check for and note any changes to the plot layout since the OSS was installed. Check the distances from the on-site system components to surface water, drainage ditches, curtain drains, wells, • and other structures both on the subject property and properties adjacent. Check to see if a dedicated reserve area has been maintained. Look for any non-conforming conditions in the drainfield and reserve areas such as parking, driving, building, burning, or pasturing large livestock. Document observations on the Sanitary Survey inspection form. The topography of the site should be observed and documented to determine drainage of the property and whether surface water flows towards the OSS. The point and direction of flow for discharges from down spouts, roof/foundation drains, curtain drains, driveways, and roadside storm water ditches should be observed. Recommend rerouting of any drainage discharges near OSS components. Pay particular attention to the location and daylight of curtain drains. Drainage lines located too close to the drainfield may collect and discharge septic effluent. If the house is near a slope, channel, or surface water, look for drainage pipes or other discharges. Draw a rough sketch of the discharge location and photograph if possible. If pipes are flowing, and with the property owner/occupant's consent, take a water sample and note the date of the sample on the survey form. If pipes are not flowing, ask the owner/occupant if you may sample during wet weather. Evaluate the area over the septic tank, pump chamber (if applicable), and drainfield area with a walk-over/visual assessment, using the following as a guide to identify • symptoms of a failing drainfield: 13 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • 1. Hydraulic Failure --- effluent ponding or breakout. The presence of lush green grass over the drainfield area can be evidence of upward capillary movement of water. Lush green vegetation in association with surface ponding or breakout is indicative of an OSS failure. Wet and soggy soil with lush green grass can indicate that ponding in the drainfield is occurring which can lead to surface ponding. Surface water samples should be collected. You may need to collect samples when the residents are using water. Note any animal or bird waste present in the drainfield area. 2. Odors --- noticeable sewage odor emanating from the OSS area may be an indication of failure but must be distinguished from decaying vegetation odor. Odor alone is not a sufficient indicator to determine a failure. Odor can be caused by normal OSS venting or unusual wind conditions. 3. Access for Maintenance --- Paving or structures over the tank(s) can prevent access for routine maintenance. 4. Damage --- observe any indications of damage that may have occurred either before, during, or after the OSS was installed. Examples of damage to the OSS are: topsoil stripping; new or widened road cuts; landscaping; patio installation; driveway construction; structures over the OSS; excessive soil backfilling over the OSS; or ruts caused by vehicular traffic or livestock. • 5. Unusual Surface Features --- features such as eroded soils, evidence of digging, soil settling depressions, or added features such as sand, bark, or rock over the top of the drainfield area. 6. Inspection Ports --- where inspection ports are available, check the depth of ponding of effluent in the drainfield. Be careful not to pull out unsecured ports. Ponding in the drainfield (trench or bed) in itself does not constitute a failing OSS. Be aware of the three types of ponding: dosing, seasonal, and continuous. If the system is a dosing system or pressure distribution, ponding during the dosing can occur; this type of ponding is temporary and usually disappears shortly after the dose cycle is over. Seasonal ponding (in the drainfield trenches) may occur during the winter wet-weather conditions (in areas with seasonal high-water tables) and usually disappears by early summer. Saturated drainfield soils cannot adequately treat septic tank effluent. Continuous ponding can be a result of a clogging mat at the soil interface or hydraulic overload. 7. Greywater Discharge --- ask the property owner/occupant if all kitchen sink, laundry and bathroom sink and shower water goes into the septic tank. Walk all the way around the house to look for greywater discharge pipes. Laundry soap/bleach odors, clothing fibers and lint associated with a pipe discharge 14 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • indicates a greywater discharge. Collect a sample if possible and a photograph. 8. Discharge Points --- sample all flowing surface water for E. coli. These include drainage ditches, culverts, curtain drains, roof drains, foundation drains, bulkhead drain pipes, seepage areas on sloped banks below the drainfield, tidal seepage areas, stream or pond banks, and adjacent down gradient properties. 9. Dye Testing --- dye testing should be conducted, with owner or occupant consent, on homes with surface water discharges that exhibit E. COLI results in excess of 200 E. coli/100 ml. Dye tracing is used in association with water sample results to confirm failing OSS. The JCPH follows methods developed by Dr. Tom Aley, Ozark Underground Laboratories (OUL), as detailed below and in Section 4.4.2. There are three types of fluorescent dye commonly used to dye-test OSS: Fluorescein (a green-yellow dye), Rhodamine WT (a purple-red dye) and Eosine (a pink-yellow dye). By using three different colored dyes, dye testing a large survey area can be accomplished more efficiently since up to three homes can be dye tested simultaneously. Charcoal samplers (samplers) are helpful in confirming OSS failures. They are most often used in conjunction with dye tracing OSS adjacent to marine or fresh waters, steep slopes, or storm water ditches. • Samplers utilize activated charcoal to absorb dye. To meet the goals and objectives of the Sanitary Survey, dye testing shall be conducted in the sequence outlined below: a) Refer to the QA/QC procedures for dye testing located in Section 4.4.2. To prevent cross-contamination: + Keep dye supplies in separate containers isolated from charcoal samplers. + Coordinate with all inspectors working in the vicinity. + It is best if two inspectors conduct a dye test: one handles dye; the other handles charcoal samplers. The inspector who retrieves the charcoal samplers must use gloves and dispose of them in a sanitary manner. The inspector handling dye must also wear gloves and dispose of them in a manner that will prevent cross contamination of dye testing materials. b) Use two charcoal pillows to make up each sampler. The duplicate can be stored frozen and sent to OUL for spectrofluorophotometric analysis if necessary. • 15 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects c) Place control charcoal samplers (controls) a week prior to introducing the • dye. These are placed in locations where water samples with results of 200 E. coli/100mI or more were collected. Map charcoal sampler locations, and date and times placed and retrieved on the survey form. Cover charcoal samplers with a rock, board, or other object to prevent algae growth and disturbance. Make sure, especially along marine shorelines or within creeks, that they are firmly emplaced with heavy gauge wire, fishing line, etc. You may want to mark the site with a stick or flag. d) Prior to introducing dye into the OSS, retrieve the controls and seal them into whirl-pack bags clearly labeled with sampler address and location, and dates and times placed and retrieved. Store retrieved charcoal samplers away from dye supplies and out of the sun. A clean cooler with ice functions well to transport the retrieved charcoal samplers to the office, where they are stored in a dedicated office freezer until elution is performed. e) After retrieving the controls, place another set of charcoal samplers in the same location. Note the dates and times controls were retrieved and replaced on the survey form. f) Note which dye you will use on the survey form. Fluorescein is generally easier to see and is the least expensive. Eosine is also easy to see but is the most expensive. Before introducing dye, make sure the owner/occupant hasn't experienced any recent backups. Flush the toilet before introducing dye to make sure water drains. A backup with dye in the water creates quite a mess. Introduce 500 ml. of the prepared dye solution to the OSS via a toilet and laundry sink if possible. Refer to Section 4.4.2.1 (Mixing, Handling and Use of Dye Tracers) g) After introducing the dye, flush the toilet twice or more if necessary to flush dye residue from the bowl. Tighten the bottle lid, place used gloves and bottle into the zip-lock bag, and close the bag tightly. Keep used bottles away from all other dye testing supplies. When you return to the office, dispose of used gloves in the appropriate receptacle and return the used bottles in their zip-locks to the office used bottle storage area for reuse. h) Retrieve the first set of dye-samplers one week after dye introduction using the procedures specified in (d) above for retrieving controls. Replace with another set of charcoal samplers. Note the retrieval and replacement on the survey form. • 16 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • i) Retrieve the second set of dye-samplers one week following placement using the procedures specified above. If you suspect low water flow in the residence or intermittent failure, the dye test can be extended additional weeks by replacing the second set of charcoal with a third set for retrieval another week later, and on as necessary. j) Analyze samplers by elutions detailed in Section 4.4.2.3. Dye is extracted from the charcoal by the solution, and if present, appears as the color introduced into the OSS. The presence of dye in the vial indicates the sampler adsorbed dye and is considered a visually positive dye test. k) Charcoal samplers from inconclusive dye tests are sent to OUL for spectrofluorophotometric analysis. 4.3.4 Field Inspection and Assessment of Other Potential E. COLI Pollution Sources After the OSS inspection is complete, walk the property parcel boundaries to identify, map, and sample all flowing surface waters for E. coli at the point(s) of confluence. Points of confluence are: • Locations where surface waters traverse property boundaries; and/or • Locations where surface waters flow into other surface waters that traverse • property boundaries. Identify, map, and sample any point(s) of confluence. Properties with surface waters that flow through the property should be investigated by sampling flows leaving and entering the property. Sample surface water tributaries just upstream of the point of confluence with receiving waters. Sample downstream surface water flows first in order to avoid contaminating downstream samples. Refer to Section 4.4 Quality Assurance / Quality Control for additional information. While mapping and sampling point(s) of confluence, document and photograph potential fecal pollution sources to the sampling points such as: 1. Accumulated animal waste (pets and livestock); 2. Non-vegetated or heavily used pastures or animal holding areas; 3. Detention ponds which harbor fowl or livestock; and 4. Animals with uncontrolled access to surface waters. 5. Discharge pipes. Appendix K provides an illustration of a Sanitary Survey parcel field map that should be drawn as samples are collected detailing the following: 1. Water bodies (marine water, lakes, ponds, streams, wetlands and storm • water) originating on or contiguous to the parcel; 17 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects 2. Sample locations; • 3. Number and locations of animals at time of inspection; 4. Animal waste storage areas; 5. Curtain drains or outfalls to surface water; 6. Stream access points for livestock and 7. Fencing and width of riparian areas. In order to best represent field conditions, collect three water samples from the same location on different days within a one-year period. The JCPH has found that fecal bacteria pollution source correction can be accelerated by contacting a property owner/resident when a collected water sample results exceeds Part 2 of the state water quality standard for fecal bacteria. Inform the owner/resident of the contaminated sample and verbally refer them to the Jefferson County Conservation District to develop and implement a waste management plan. Notify the owner/resident that at least two additional samples will be collected. Contact the owner/resident, after each collected sample exceeds Part 2 of the state water quality standard for fecal bacteria, to give them an opportunity to work with the Jefferson County Conservation District voluntarily. Document contacts on the survey form. When three samples have been collected, calculate the geometric mean value (GMV) for the three samples and meet with the Environmental Health Director to determine if a nuisance condition exists per local Solid Waste regulations. S 4.4 Quality Assurance and Quality Control 4.4.1 Collecting, Labeling and Transporting Water Samples Proper technique for collecting, labeling and transporting samples is critical to ensure that sampling data is valid. Valid sampling data ensures good project results, making any potential court case watertight. Refer to Appendix C for monitoring procedures. The most representative water samples are those collected from freefalling surface water flow. Sediments and surface bacteria can skew the results. In some cases you may need to construct a sample point ahead of time and return another day to sample. Note any animal or bird waste or tracks observed, amount and proximity to surface water source. 4.4.2 Dye Testing 4.4.2.1 Mixing, Handling and Use of Dye Tracers The JCPH purchases dye mixing supplies from OUL and follows their mixing protocol. It is important to follow the QA/QC procedures outlined below in order to prevent any cross-contamination from occurring. 111 18 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • 1. In the laboratory, the following QA/QCrocedures shall be followed p o ed by staff: a. Before handling dye, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets provided in Appendix L for health and safety information. b. To prevent cross contamination with other dye testing supplies (gloves, charcoal samplers, whirlpack bags, and coolers), the powdered and liquid dye is stored in appropriate storage areas. Fluorescein and Eosine dye are purchased and stored in dry-powdered form in one (1) pound containers from OUL. Rhodamine WT is purchased and stored in liquid form in one (1) pound containers. Do not move these dyes from their location until you are prepared to conduct dye mixing. c. Refer to dye-mixing instructions in Appendix M. d. Pour the mixed dye into the 500-m1. Nalgene bottles used for dye tests. Clearly and permanently mark each bottle: FL for Fluorescein, Rh for Rhodomine, or E for Eosine. Dye pouring should occur in an outdoor location where any dye spills can be easily contained or cleaned up without public exposure. • e. Once poured, seal each dye bottle into a clean Zip-Lock bag. f. In your vehicle, keep dye bottles in a separate container isolated from charcoal samplers and other materials and out of the sun. Opaque, waterproof containers, such as Rubbermaid tubs, are excellent vessels for containing dye bottles. 2. In the field, staff shall follow the dye testing procedures outlined in Section 4.3.3. 4.4.2.2 Manufacturing, Handling and Use of Charcoal Samplers Charcoal samplers are made by filling a folded piece of 4"x 3" - 22 ml. perforated polyethylene landscaping fabric with approximately five grams of activated charcoal (8- 12 mesh) and melting edges closed with a hot gun or stapling closed with stainless steel staples. in order to verify the absence of dye and the ability to retain dye of newly produced charcoal packets the following will be performed for each batch produced. A "batch constitutes packets produced on the same date. Field staff will record the batch production date and the date charcoal samplers are checked out in the charcoal sampler check-out notebook to verify the QA/QC of the batch. • 19 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects 1. The following QA/QC procedures shall be followed by staff in the lab: s Verification of Absence of Dye: • For each batch of samplers produced, fill a 50 ml conical tube with 25 ml. de- ionized water (DI-water). Submerge one representative sampler in this beaker for 15 minutes. Rinse the packet with 25 ml. DI-water 3 times. Elute with elution solution. Observe for visual dye after one and 48 hours and record in the elution notebook. • A charcoal packet from every tenth batch will be sent to Ozark Underground Lab for non-visual range analysis. Note this in the charcoal sampler check- out notebook. - • If visual dye is detected in the extraction or is detected by OUL, the batch will be discarded. Verification of Ability to Retain Dye: • For each batch of samplers produced, fill a 50 ml. conical tube with 25 ml. of DI-water. Place one drop of dye into the tube. Submerge one representative sampler in the solution for 15 minutes. • Rinse the packet with 25 ml. DI-water 3 times. Elute with elution solution. Observe for visual dye after one and 48 hours and record in the elution notebook. 4.4.2.3 Mixing, Handling and Use of Elution Solution Dye elution solution consists of 10% of an ammonia hydroxide solution and 90% of an isopropyl alcohol solution. The ammonia hydroxide solution contains 30% ammonia hydroxide and 70% water. The isopropyl alcohol solution contains 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. The solution is used to release absorbed dye from charcoal samplers. The proper laboratory QA/QC procedures are as follows: 1. Before handling chemicals, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets provided in Appendix L for health and safety information. 2. While wearing eye protection and gloves, pour 450 ml. of isopropyl alcohol solution into the 1000-ml. amber glass jar used for mixing the solution using the graduated cylinders provided. Then, add 50 ml. of 30% ammonia hydroxide into the jar. Repeat. You have now made 1000 ml. of "elution solution". 3. To perform an elution: S 20 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • • Wear gloves and eye protection • Attach a permanent identification label to a clean 50 ml vial listing sampler location, and dates and times placed and retrieved • Using sanitary procedures, rinse charcoal packs vigorously in a 50 ml vial of DI water three times to remove sediment that may obscure dye. DI water avoids chlorine residual interference with the dye. • Place one charcoal pack from each set into a whirlpack bag marked with the location, dates and times of placing and retrieval. This duplicate is stored in a dedicated office freezer and sent to OUL for spectrofluorophotometric analysis if necessary. • With dedicated scissors, cut two sides of the other charcoal pack and pour into the marked vial. Immerse scissors in 1:10 bleach solution and rinse with tap water before using to cut each sampler. Rinse and store scissors dry. • Introduce approximately 25 ml. of elution solution under the vented hood. Tighten the vial cap firmly. • Mix the charcoal and solution for about 20 seconds and place the vial in a dark place. 4. After one hour, observe the solution for the presence of dye. In a dark room, • beam a light source (such as a small "mag" light) into the vial. Aim the light at 90 degrees to the viewing angle. Dye is most visible in the light beam. Note the results in the elution notebook. Repeat solution observation 24 hours later, and note the results in the elution notebook and on the sanitary survey form. In some cases, it is difficult to determine if dye is present. If you have difficulty, discuss the observations with the Environmental Health Director. Remember, if you aren't sure if dye is present, the judge surely won't be. 5. If the observations are negative, you can send the duplicate samplers to OUL for analysis. Pack samplers in a zip lock bag with a frozen refrigerant pack and send to arrive within two business days. Frozen refrigerant packs and expedited shipping prevent algae growth that could obscure dye results. Refer to Appendix N for a transmittal letter and chain of custody form. Contact the Environmental Health Director to determine what method of shipping is most cost effective. 6. Keep positive samples labeled and stored in a dedicated container in a darkened room or storage area. These stored samples are sorted quarterly and are set aside for disposal when OSS repair is complete. Disposal occurs at least twice each year by contacting the JCPH 's hazardous waste coordinator. The vials are transported to the hazardous waste coordinator for disposal with a chain of custody listing what is in the vials and how many are • to be disposed.. 21 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects 4.5 Criteria for Classifying Property Parcel Inspection Results • 4.5.1 Evaluating OSS Inspection Results Refer to the OSS failure definition in Appendix O. Great care must be taken before classifying any OSS as "failing". In order to classify an OSS as failing, there must be clear and well-documented evidence that raw sewage or sewage effluent is flowing onto the ground surface and/or into surface waters. Ideally, failures should be documented visually (i.e., with photographs), bacteriologically (i.e., water samples with positive E. Coli results of 500/100 ml. or greater), and hydraulically (i.e., a visually positive dye test). See Table 2 for assistance in evaluating OSS results. Document all photographs taken on a photolog form (see Appendix P). Water samples collected and dye introduction and charcoal sampler use are documented on the survey form. In some instances it may not be possible to obtain all three of these pieces of documentation for a failing OSS. If not, document the failure with as many of these pieces of documentation you can, and take notes on the Sanitary Survey form to fill in the missing documentation. Table 2 shall be used as a guide to aid in determining the functional status of an • inspected OSS.

Geometric Mean Value 4.6 Enforcement or Referral of E. coli Pollution Sources 4.6.1 Enforcement of Failing OSS The following procedures shall be followed when a failing OSS has been identified, pursuant to the Jefferson County Board of Health Ordinance No.08-0921-00, and Chapter 246-272-16501 WAC, On-Site Sewage Systems, Rules and Regulations of the State Board of Health. 1. Once a failing OSS has been documented, the inspector will write and issue a Notice and Order to Correct Violation (NOCV) letter (Appendix Q). The NOCV will require the owner/operator of the failing OSS to contact a licensed designer within an appropriate time period - 30 days, although a 7 or 14 day time period may be used for imminent health threats. Inspectors normally issue a pump-out order for rental properties with failing OSS. The tank is pumped as often as is necessary to keep sewage off the ground surface and from backing up in the residence. For special cases, work with the Environmental Health Director. Send the NOCV to the recipient by both regular and certified mail. 2. If the owner/operator of the failing OSS does not comply with the NOCV, the inspector will issue a civil infraction notice (see Appendix R) and follow the case through to court (if necessary). 3. Once a contracted designer has submitted a repair application for review, the inspector will follow current JCPH regulations/policies on processing the paperwork associated with the repair, Sewage Disposal Permit. • 24 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • 4.6.2 Enforcement or Referral of Non-OSS E. coli Pollution Sources The following procedures shall be followed for high priority non-OSS E. coli pollution sources: 1. The inspector must refer to Jefferson County Board of Health Ordinance 09- 1020-05, "Solid Waste Regulations" (Appendix S), to determine if the documented violation(s) meets the criteria of a solid waste violation. Examples of enforceable solid waste violations include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled run-off from manure piles, pasture areas and heavy use areas and other areas where manure is inadequately managed. If you are unsure if the violation(s) meet the criteria of a solid waste violation, consult your supervisor. 2. Fecal pollution sources are corrected by cooperation with Jefferson County Conservation District by ensuring owners are following their recommendations for managing livestock waste appropriately. 3. Refer to Appendix Q for an example of a voluntary Compliance Agreement. 4. JCPH inspectors may refer property owners that do not participate to • Ecology for enforcement. This may become necessary in cases where the JCPH has E. coli sample evidence of a violation but cannot access the property to link it to an anthropogenic source. This notice of referral shall consist of the following components: • Name and address of applicable property owner(s); • Water body impacted; • Reference to the specific WAC that staff believe is being violated; • Justification and evidence for making the referral, including E. coli sample results, noted observations, photos, etc.; and • Notification of referral to the applicable property owner(s) consisting of a cover letter and copy of the referral packet being forwarded to Ecology. 5. JCPH staff will conduct compliance sampling (if feasible) after the corrective action (BMPs) measures have been implemented. If compliance sampling indicates that corrective action has been successful, staff will terminate the investigation. 6. If compliance sampling indicates that corrective action has not been successful, staff will begin the referral process again, as outlined above. 25 Jefferson County Public Health Manual of Protocol Sanitary Survey Projects • 4.7 Reporting 4.7.1 Data Evaluation and Report Writing Grant contracts specify reporting requirements - generally quarterly. All reports are stored on the common computer directory. See the Environmental Health Director for details. A comprehensive report detailing and explaining results of the Sanitary Survey will be prepared at the end of the project. Develop and submit a report outline to the Environmental Health Director for approval. Spell check the first draft and e-mail to OSS staff for peer review. When satisfied with the content and readability of the report, e-mail it to the Environmental Health Director for review. After discussing comments and making necessary changes, the report is e-mailed to Environmental Health Director for approval. The report can be released once approval is granted. 4.7.2 Post-Sanitary Survey Public Information At the conclusion of the project, develop a public information feedback system to inform residents in the project area of the results of the Sanitary Survey. This should be done in consultation with the Environmental Health Director and can include newsletters, the JCPH web site, and library or fair displays. 4.7.3 Follow-up Vacant property parcels, those with OSS systems categorized as suspect (see Table 2); and parcels classified as medium priority (see Table 3) should be re-inspected within one year of the initial evaluation pursuant to the procedures detailed in Section 4.3.3. Ask the owners/operators of such OSS for permission to re-inspect the OSS within a year. Property parcels with significant use changes may also be reinspected. Shellfish and recreational beaches and/or state 303(d) listed impaired surface waters where Sanitary Survey projects have been completed will be reviewed at least annually in order to determine water quality trends. Problem areas will be reviewed when JCPH trend water quality monitoring or State Department of Health water quality monitoring exceeds the state Water Quality standard. In the case of a threatened commercial shellfish area, inspectors will respond to high marine water fecal coliform counts by conducting a shoreline survey of the area and investigating any drainage where the GMV of the initial and confirmation sample exceeds 200 E. coli/100m1. \\Healthserver\users\env_health\danaf\HOOD CANAL PROJECT • 26 Jefferson County Board of 3-{ealth Wow Business .agenda Item # T., 4 • Pandemic Influenza Planning 'Update December 15, 2005 1 Cf-;R15TINE O.GREGOIRE Gc,vemor.

Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington,D.C. 20502 Dear President Bush: I am pleased that pandemic flu preparedness is now a priority, It is a huge undertaking and getting the job done requires strong commitment,cooperation, and resources. I am gravely concerned, however,that the federal plan relies too heavily on purchasing medication and vaccines and provides far too little funding for state and local preparedness so very crucial in the event of a pandemic. Of the$7.1 billion request to Congress for the national pandemic flu strategy, only about$100 million is designated for state and local efforts. This is woefully inadequate for the work that is necessary. State and local public health agencies must let people know what a pandemic is and how to protect themselves. Our hospitals and-communities must be ready to handle huge increases in the number of patients. Government agencies and businesses must have plans in place to keep providing essential services when large numbers of employees are out sick. The federal government is, right now, proposing to cut about$130 million dollars for general public health emergency preparedness. Even with the new funds, we will have less money to get our preparedness work done. I support your efforts to create increased vaccine production capacity. New vaccine production technologies will serve us well in protecting our communities against emerging flu strains. Vaccine and antiviral medication are an important part of a comprehensive pandemic flu preparedness strategy.However,their effectiveness and availability are not certain at this time. The real work of responding to a pandemic will take place on the ground at the state,county and Iocal level. It will take people, time and money. The federal plan does not adequately fund this critical work. Washington State has accomplished much in preparing for public health emergencies in our state,but there is more to do. We must have sustained federal support to adequately address our preparedness needs. Sincerely, Christine O. Gregoire Governor • cc: Michael U.
