APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chair Austin recognized a motion to approve the agenda and a second. The motion to approve the agenda, as written,was passed by unanimous vote. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF May 15, 2008 Corrections to the Minutes of May 15, 2008 were noted. The minutes were amended to correct the spelling of Michelle Sandoval's name and Jill Buhler's name. A correction was made that clarified the formation of the Jefferson County Board of Health to read, `which includes the three County Commissioners, an elected representative from the City of Port Townsend, an elected Jefferson Healthcare Hospital Commissioner and two citizen members'. David Sullivan made a motion to approve the minutes as amended; the motion was seconded and passed by unanimous vote. • Page 1 Jefferson County Board of Health June 12, 2008 PUBLIC COMMENTS • Comments from the audience included: • Forming a stakeholder committee was suggested to address issues regarding homeowner inspection of on-site sewage systems raised at the meeting at Chimacum High School. • Boat owners have received bad press about polluting the bays. Boats manufactured in the U.S. are required to have holding tanks and most boats in those bays are sitting empty. Fines are very strict and the Coast Guard has jurisdiction. • Duke Shold offered his 45 years of experience in septic installation in Jefferson County to assist with development of a homeowner inspection program. • The requirement for having this inspection program WAC 246-272A-0270 is bad law. • Focus on an area that we know is a problem; municipal sewer operations. How can 8 million gallons of raw sewage that is dumped into Ravena Creek, by the city of Seattle, which makes it way in to Union Bay, not be a significant problem, when that amount of raw sewage equals approximately the amount of raw sewage in every single OSS system in Jefferson Count? How can leaking or failing OSS systems in Jefferson County pose a major problem? When they leak, they are a problem at that particular site but is it a region-wide problem? • Realtors in the community have been working in conjunction with the County and have been doing inspections at the point of sale. It is a requirement of one who sales a piece of property or one who has an installed septic system that it be inspected. The realtors have worked very effectively with the health department. • Before restrictions are put on the homeowners about their responsibilities let's go back to the professionals in the business of working on and inspecting these systems. Let's make • sure they are doing their jobs correctly. • Errors were found in the January and February Board of Health minutes; Commissioner Johnson was reported being at the January meeting when he was absent and February meeting was supposedly being held in two different places. • The county should have a phone number for the public to call to have someone respond to septic problems. OLD BUSINESS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS Hood Canal Clean Water Project Newsletter Dr. Locke noted that this is a newsletter that is produced by Jefferson County Public Health. It touches on a number of themes that will be addressed at today's meeting. Susan Porto briefed the Board on the process of determining if an on-site system has failed and how proceed in getting it repaired. She noted that the Environmental Health Department keeps updated lists of licensed Septic Installers and Designers. Letters re: Mats Mats and Mystery Bays' Water Quality Andrew Shogren, Environmental Health and Water Quality Director introduced himself He stated that Jefferson County Public Health received a letter from the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association concerned about the recent downgrade of Mats Mats and Mystery Bay by the Washington Department of Health. Andrew pointed out there is a federal definition of what Page 2 Jefferson County Board of Health June 12,2008 constitutes a marina; anything more than 10 boats. This is triggering agencies to look at Mystery Bay, with a recent count of over 70 boats. It was clarified that Department of Natural Resources manages the tidelands and the Department of Community Development issues permits for mooring buoys because they are considered a structure. The Department of Health is the agency concerned with the number of boats moored in the bay. The water quality is still excellent at Mystery Bay and meets state water quality standards. JCPH is working with other agencies to come up with solutions for Mystery Bay. In Mats Mats Bay it was downgraded to "threatened" because one side of the bay tested with elevated levels of bacteria. JCPH recently received a new water quality project grant from the Department of Ecology that will allow for work done in Mats Mats Bay. EnviroStars Award: Uptown Dental Clinic The Uptown Dental Clinic was given the EnviroStars Award and recognized for their efforts to reduce waste, save energy, reduce water use, and increase recycling. NEW BUSINESS Guest Presentation: Andy Brastad,RS, Clallam County Environmental Health Director: Clallam County On-Site Sewage Management Plan Andy Brastad, Environmental Health Director from Clallam County presented the Board with an overview of the Clallam County On-site Septic System Management. Mr. Brastad spoke about • Clallam County's experience of trying to implement these new regulations. He noted it is a challenge to homeowners, industry and to the local jurisdictions and that it was a slow process. In 2005 the State Board of Health mandated that the Marine Counties of Puget Sound develop a management plan relating to impacts of on-site sewage systems. That plan was due by June 30, 2007. New regulations put the responsibility on the homeowner to maintain and inspect their septic systems. Inspections are required once every 3 years for a conventional systems or once every year for an alternative system. The regulation mandating those regulations went into effect July 1, 2007. Concurrently the state legislature came up with its own legislation for local health jurisdictions requiring counties with marine shorelines, where there are potentials or proven problems with water quality that can be traced by to septic systems, to consider creating a Marine Recovery Area (MRA). Legislature was responding to problems in the Hood Canal with oxygen depletion and taking a look at areas that are affected by increased nitrogen levels. Clallam County decided to involve citizens, industry and other stakeholders in trying to figure out what the best and most reasonable way to proceed and do it in an approach that would be acceptable to the public. They formed an On-Site Septic work group and hired a highly qualified facilitator. The group consisted of lending institutions, realtors, citizens, city officials, state agencies, tribes, public utilities, Olympic National Park, OSS professionals, Conservation District, and Clallam County Environmental Health Services staff. The work groups met over a 7 month period, meeting monthly in the beginning and towards the end of the process meetings were held twice a month. Some of the recommendations that came out of the plan were: Homeowners should have a choice of either hiring a professional or doing the inspection • themselves. It was decided that if you were going to do-it-yourself, you should have some training, therefore the county should set up some type of approved training program, which is currently being worked on. Page 3 Jefferson County Board of Health June 12,2008 The workgroup also decided that a Marine Recovery Area(MRA) should be established since • there was already a shellfish downgrade in effect for Dungeness Bay and commercial beds in Sequim Bay were potentially threatened. It was recommended that within an MRA the first inspection should be done by a professional. Subsequent inspection could be done by the homeowner if they had received county-approved training. Mr. Brastad responded to a question on quality control of inspections, stating that it comes down to oversight capacity. The main source of revenue that the county receives to support the regulation of on-site sewage systems comes from septic system permits. This permit revenue funds employees who evaluate and approve on-site sewage permits, perform field inspections, and work with the public to resolve problems with these systems. This funding is not sufficient to allow environmental health employees to look over the shoulder of private sector professionals and directly supervise their work. In order to encourage homeowner compliance with new regulations,the work group suggested focusing on incentives and education with penalties being the last resort. Reporting requirement should be kept simple and when issuing permits or with transfer or sale of property,the inspection should be done by a professional. The work group decided that it didn't matter how many inspections were done by the individual that had training. The industry representatives were supportive of trained individual performing inspections for others but felt they should not be allowed to charge a fee and the County needed to make sure to get the records. The homeowner is responsible for filing the necessary reports. There also needed to be some sort of agreement between the person doing the inspection and the property owner to address liability issues. The County is not getting involved with that aspect. • The group's recommendation for financing was a stable funding source with financial assistance and low interest loans where appropriate. There needed to be an assessment or a fee for all OSS owners and felt it was feasible at a rate of$10-$20 a year. The Implementation Plan, if funding is available, will be to develop and conduct outreach and education, develop inspection and compliance programs, establish a stable funding source, begin to identify OSS in the MRA, and enhance record-keeping and notification abilities,train inspectors and homeowners, track inspection activity, and determine the best system type where nitrates are an issue. Mr. Brastad summarized what Clallam County has accomplished from 2004 through today. Starting in 2004 Clallam County applied for and was awarded the Centennial Grant to do on-site septic system management planning from Department of Health in 2005. Work started in 2006. Most of the work was data mining, determining how many permits were sitting in storage and getting that information in a GIS format. A work group was convened and a facilitator was hired. DOH provided funding for general implementation of the management plan with specific funding for implementing projects within the MRA. The work group is still meeting, using the facilitator, working on the data base and outreach and education. There were unspent funds from the DOH grant, so the Washington On-site Sewage Association(WOSSA)was hired to conduct a training session for homeowners to learn how to inspect their own system at no charge to the public. There are 6 classes scheduled. WOSSA charges the county $120 per person in each class. Class is limited to 20. Field trips are included. The work group was adamant about a test at the end of the course which needed to be passed in order to get certification. Certification expiration • dates are still being worked out. Page 4 Jefferson County Board of Health June 12, 2008 • Plans for the next two years include putting together a proposal for a pilot project that any county can use. Funds will come from the DOE Centennial Grant Funds to put together a training curriculum and train volunteers. The County will audit their inspections. The County will also audit their records which will be completed online. The records will go to a company called E- Onsite, they extract the information they need then send the records electronically to the county. E-Onsite reporting will begin in 2009. Jefferson County On-Site Sewage Code: Review of Homeowner Inspection Programs in 6 Washington Counties and Proposals for Jefferson County Homeowner Inspection Program Before the presentation Dr. Locke commented that we have heard from the public and staff regarding the many ideas brought up about convening work groups and other ways to proceed with the Inspection Program. Forming community work groups has many merits but it is important to be aware of the significant costs and how long the process takes. It is hoped that Jefferson County can learn from the experiences of other local health jurisdictions and avoid some of these costs. Angela Pieratt, Environmental Health Specialist, presented the Board with a summarized account of the Operation and Monitoring programs for six counties, including Clallam, Island, Kitsap, Thurston, Mason and Skagit Counties; each county has a different approach for meeting state requirements. Angela explained that while Jefferson County has had an Operation and Monitoring Program for over 20 years, many counties did not, and have been prompted to develop inspection programs with the July 2007 changes to WAC 246-272A. She walked the Board through the different programs for each of the six counties. Angela noted that in the past many of the programs only provided education, these counties are now beginning to implement programs that include inspection requirements. Some of the key elements she commented on for these counties included the inspection frequency, funding sources, requirements in MRAs and Homeowner Inspections Programs. Special attention was paid to the homeowner inspection programs & training; Island, Clallam (during the pilot program), Henderson WPA, and Skagit Counties offer training at no cost. Angie will continue this presentation at the next Board of Health meeting in July. Member Westerman asked for more detailed information on the Kitsap program; when did the homeowner inspection program begin that proved to be problematic and what problems did that county face that precipitated the new program requirements? Member Sullivan asked for more clarification on taking the certification class and whether or not that would give the individual the ability to inspect systems other than their own either personally or professionally? Availability of Grant Supported Hepatitis C Testing,Hepatitis A and B Vaccination, and HPV Vaccination for Women Aged 19-26 Jean Baldwin reported that JCPH was awarded two grants for vaccine. One grant is for HPV vaccine, which will include vaccination to women from age 19-26 for a period of approximately one year. JCPH will be doing intensive outreach and education. JCPH is doing a pilot as a government agency and have given 31 vaccinations this month. The other grant is for Hepatitis C IP testing. Hepatitis C destroys the liver and most people who have Hepatitis C don't know they have it. It's often times asymptomatic. The grant is a short term grant that will allow for testing Page 5 Jefferson County Board of Health June 12,2008 those at high-risk. JCPH is offering Hepatitis A& B vaccine for high-risk people. Outreach is being done on both of these programs. • Hepatitis C outreach is being done through the Syringe Exchange Program, the Family Planning Clinic and through information distributed to the doctors in the community. Dr. Locke reported that we just got the toxin test back on Lake Anderson and it is off the scale. The scale goes up to 6,000 and Lake Anderson tested higher than that in the scum layer.Now we have confirmed not only the presence of the algae but the toxin it produces. Anatoxin is a potent neurotoxin and can kill in a matter of minutes. Dr. Locke reported that other lakes are affected outside our area, but no lake in this state appears to have as severe a problem as Lake Anderson has. This toxin is contained within the algae cells and shouldn't pose a problem to ground water. Neil Harrington commented that JCPH is doing a major sweep of nutrient testing of area lakes through a grant from the Department of Ecology.

Jefferson County, WA- On July 1st, the winners of Tobacco Prevention T-shirt Design contest were announced. Heather King of Port Townsend - Killing you Slowly and Emily Rose Strickland of Port Townsend - Tobacco Facts. The contest targeted Jefferson county youth 12-18 years, asking them to create & submit tobacco prevention messages with words and/or images. "Across Jefferson County youth were thinking of tobacco prevention messages" said Karen Obermeyer with the Jefferson County Tobacco Prevention and Control Program. "Schools and businesses got on board to promote the contest, so youth heard about this • from many sources. The message is that our community cares about youth and wants them to be healthy. Tobacco use is the nation's number one cause of preventable death, killing more people every year than AIDS, alcohol, drugs, murders, suicides, car crashes, and fires combined." The Tobacco Prevention T-shirt Design contest is the result of a partnership between Jefferson County Tobacco Prevention & Control Program (JCTPCP), the Boiler Room, & Badd Habit Screen Printing and Embroidery. The local project was inspired by NoStankYou.com (A WA state Tobacco prevention program). The contest was promoted at the following locations: Jefferson County Public Health, the Boiler Room, Blue Heron School, Mt. View School, PT High School, Quilcene High School, Jefferson Community School, PT Skate Park, PT Food Coop, Safeway, and PT Farmers Market. Over 30 designs were submitted and two winners were chosen by public vote. "I had a lot of fun working on this project. We received so many great entries it would have been impossible to just pick a winner; which is why I was glad that part was left up to the community to decide." Helen Pilling, JCPH Summer Intern coordinator of the project. e COMMUNITY HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES WATER QUALITY MAIN: 360385-9400 ALWAYS WORKING FOR ASAFER AND MAIN: 360385-9444 FAX: 360385-9401 HEALTHIER COMMUNITY FAX: 360379-4487 • The winning designs are being professionally printed by Badd Habit Screen Printing.

The shirts will be distributed free of charge to Jefferson County youth at the Boiler Room and Jefferson County Public Health after July 15th. A limited supply of shirts will be available. In 2000, the Washington State Department of Health received funding from the settlement of a lawsuit against tobacco companies and expanded its tobacco prevention and control program. The youth campaign against tobacco includes three major elements: • Educating kids about the dangers of tobacco use • Making it difficult to get tobacco. (see Tobacco Compliance Check Press Release) • Changing society's acceptance of youth tobacco use. After eight years, the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program and its statewide partners have successfully reduced the number of Washington kids smoking by about 65,000 (50 percent) and the number of adults smoking by 235,000 (24 percent). • Between one half and one third of youth who try a cigarette will go on to become a daily smoker.' • • Eighty percent (80%) of all smokers have their first cigarette before age 18 and 90% of all smokers begin before age 20.2 • One-third of all smokers began before the age of 14.3 • Each day, approximately 3,900 young people between the ages of 12 and 17 years initiate cigarette smoking in the United States.4 CDC.

The combination of hot weather and low tides can present ideal conditions for Vibrio bacteria to increase significantly in shellfish and shoreline waters. In 2006, many people became ill with vibriosis after eating oysters from Washington. More III illness was reported in 2007, leading to beach closures and recall requests for commercially harvested oysters that had already been sold. Vibriosis is an intestinal illness caused by naturally-occurring bacteria known as Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Unlike the toxins that cause paralytic and amnesic shellfish poisoning, thorough cooking will destroy Vibrio bacteria. "Vibriosis is 100 percent preventable," said Greg Combs, public health advisor, Department of Health's Office of Shellfish and Water Protection. "Just cook your shellfish before you eat it." The Department of Health offers the following tips to recreational shellfish harvesters: • Always check the beach's pollution and biotoxin status before you harvest. • Harvest as soon as possible after the tide goes out. • Refrigerate or ice your shellfish as soon as you can. • • Thoroughly cook the shellfish to 145 °F for 15 seconds. —More— Shellfish safety June 30, 2008 Page 2 "It's crucial that people follow these safeguards in the warm summer months, and it's also • critical that everyone understands the difference between Vibrio and the toxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and amnesic shellfish poisoning(ASP)," said Maryanne Guichard, director of the department's Office of Shellfish and Water Protection. PSP and ASP can't be destroyed by cooking. People who eat shellfish contaminated with these toxins can become very ill or even die. The only way to be safe is to "Know Before You Dig" (www.doh.wa.gov/shellfishsafety.htm). Information is also available by calling the agency's shellfish office, 360-236-3330, or your local health department(http://www.doh.wa.gov/LHJMap/LHJMap.htm). For biotoxins only, call the free Biotoxin Hotline at 1-800-562-5632. ### Visit the Washington Department of Health Web site at http://www.doh.wa.gov for a healthy dose of information.

In response we would like to share information about the services we offer, and on the malaria, traveler's diarrhea and altitude illness information that we advise travelers to discuss with their Healthcare Provider. Enclosed is a packet with the Vaccine Information Statements for the adult vaccines that we provide and all of the various disease prevention handouts. We also provide all recommended pediatric vaccines when children are traveling. Traveler's immunization clinic appointments are available on Monday, Tuesday and • Wednesday mornings. At the time the appointment is scheduled information is gathered regarding the traveler's itinerary, departure date and length of trip. Travel nurses put together a packet of disease prevention information specifically for the traveler's itinerary. This could include handouts on malaria, dengue fever, mosquito and other insect bite prevention, food and water precautions, traveler's diarrhea prevention and treatment, hepatitis B risk, yellow fever requirements, rabies risk, Japanese encephalitis risk, shistosomaisis, leptospirosis, Chagas disease, altitude illness, seeking healthcare abroad and others in certain cases. We research the immunization recommendations for the countries that they will be visiting, and review their immunization records and travel health precautions. Needed immunizations are administered at the appointment, and clients are referred for additional recommended medications, such as those for malaria prevention. Ideally, clients call at least a month before traveling so there is adequate time to complete immunization schedules. We use the CDC website and also TropiMed, a program we purchased, for immunization and other prevention information. Travel nurses receive training at the University of Washington's tropical medicine and other updates. Our travel staff includes nurses Lisa McKenzie, Jane Kurata, and Carol Burwell. • DEEVELOPITY HEALTH MENTAL DISABILITIES PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL WATER QUALITY FAX:MAIN:364 85-940100 HEALTHIER COMMUNITY MAIN: 360379-4487 FAX: 364378-4487 11, We have the following vaccines available routinely: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Twinrix (combination Hep NB), Oral Typhoid, injectable Typhoid (Typhim Vi), Yellow Fever, • Meningococcal, Polio, Td, Tdap, MMR, Varicella and Influenza. If a traveler opts for the pre-exposure Rabies vaccine series or Japanese Encephalitis vaccine series we special order these immunizations. We provide malaria prophylaxis recommendations specifically for the traveler's itinerary. We give clients the CDC Malaria Prevention handout and highlight the section about the medication that is recommended for the area of the world that they will be visiting. If • there are choices of medication we discuss the pros and cons of each medication, pointing out the possible side effects listed and the cost differences. We always specifically ask clients to take the handouts showing medication recommendations to their Primary Care Provider and discuss any medication questions they have. Travelers may need prescription medication for traveler's diarrhea and altitude illness as well as malaria prophylaxis. Calls that we receive from clinics indicate that travelers sometimes don't bring in the handout. We could fax malaria prophylaxis recommendations to the client's provider after the travel clinic appointment. Feedback about this idea is welcome. Our travel visit consultation fee is $60.00 for the first person and $35 for additional household members seen at the same visit. Travel appointments usually last 45 minutes to an hour. Vaccine prices vary depending on cost, ranging from $29 for a dose of hepatitis A vaccine to $157 for a dose of rabies vaccine. Insurance coverage is • variable: some cover the more routine vaccines like tetanus and hepatitis A, most do not cover the strictly travel related vaccines. We bill insurance but tell people that they are responsible for any amount that is not covered. There is no sliding fee for the travel clinic. We are happy to see any traveler trying to plan a healthy international trip. Please let me know if you have any questions about our services.

I stumbled upon this site http://www.inspect-ny.com/septic/sludgescitm.htm sub section "Sewage Pathogens in Septic Sludge" There I discovered that the effluent from a septic tank has no noticeable reduction in fecal • coliform bacteria count from the raw sewage input, about 1 O(6) Ct(V i oomL. rurther a septic system relies on a bacterial biomass in the soil to process the pathogens in the leach field effluent. Now I'm confused on how the proposed inspections will identify if the biomass around the leach field is neutralizing the fecal coliform bacteria. If not neutralized in the soil biomass, isn't that the capital "h" failure we're looking for? Agravity system could show a good absorption rate and be pouring bacteria directly into the ground water. 5o shouldn't we be looking at the fecal coliform bacteria count 3-4 feet below the leach field to know if the system biomass is working? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.. Also note I agree with cleaning up the waters and if inspections are the answer, support that. It'sjust that with this data I've discovered, I'm confused. (I'm the guy who offered to assist in process design and flow development) • Davis 5teel9uist 6/25/2008 Message Page 1 of 3 From: Tom Locke Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 11:46 AM To: 'drs98376@embargmail.com' Cc: John Austin; Andrew Shogren Subject: RE: septic tank inspections Dear Mr. Steelquist, I looked at the website you referenced and it seems fairly accurate. The purpose of an on-site sewage system is to safely dispose of human infectious waste and waste water. The functions of the system are usually thought of in two general areas --treatment and disposal. Treatment refers to the process of inactivating the viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that can spread human disease. Disposal involves getting rid of large volumes of wastewater. In some of the newer alternative systems, treatment and disposal are performed by separate parts of the system, i.e. treatment occurs in specially constructed sand filters and the resulting effluent has been substantially disinfected by the time it reaches a drainfield (some systems even use UV light or chlorination to thoroughly disinfect the wastewater). In the conventional gravity system, treatment is spread throughout the system, beginning in the septic tank and extending into the drainfield. Disposal occurs exclusively in the drainfield. Septic tanks also serve the function of removing non-digestible solids and fats from the system so that they do not clog up the drainfield. Eventually septic tanks fill up with these solids and need to be pumped out. The microbial processes are complex in septic systems and vary with each type. You are right that the coliform • counts remain high throughout a conventional system. Coliforms are used as a "marker" of microbial levels since they are easy to test for and are one of the dominant classes of intestinal bacteria. Many types of coliforms are harmless. What we are trying to eliminate from infectious waste is far more complex-- a mix of pathogenic(i.e. capable of causing human disease) viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other microbes. Some (like viruses)cannot withstand the harsh conditions of the septic tank, others are not inactivated until they come in contact with soil microbes in the drainfield. The ability of undisturbed soil to disinfect and detoxify human waste is remarkable. Equally remarkable is that it takes somewhere between decades and centuries for the "soil matrix" to fully develop. Drainfields installed in undisturbed topsoil take advantage of a complex soil structure and are highly effective in dealing with infectious waste. Disturbed soils (compacted, excavated) or fill doesn't have these properties. The fluid may disappear(disposal) but there is inadequate treatment. Detailed evaluation of on-site septic systems is only really possible in research settings. These kind of studies are used to design specific types of systems and develop the permitting rules that are contained in state and local codes. Proper function of a system has a lot to do with a good design and proper installation. Operation and monitoring focuses on 1) controlling what goes into the system (preventing overload of fluid or solids) and 2) maintaining the mechanical/hydrological integrity of the system. Thus an inspection primarily focuses on the physical integrity of the system (tank, baffles, various pipes). Inspection of a drainfield looks for surfacing sewage (at a minimum) and whenever possible tries to make sure distribution boxes or drain lines are not plugged up. It is not really possible to test impacts on groundwater outside of research settings. Alternative systems also have pumps, circuit boards, and other components that need to be checked and maintained. The question of whether the drainfield biomass is doing its job or not is a critical on. Besides evidence of obvious failure (saturated surface soils or surfacing sewage effluent), dye testing is one of the most practical ways to evaluate this function. Fluorescent dye is flushed down a toilet (or put directly in the septic tank) and then allowed to flow into the drainfield. Absorptive packs are then put in areas where effluent would normally not appear(like a shoreline bank). If the dye shows up in absorptive packs, the system is failing. • There is a lot of engineering and science behind septic system design and function. And some competing theories of how things work. The latest version of the state on-site code was the product review all the technical materials, competing perspectives, and expert opinion that form the basis ofrthe code.to As a practical matter our job in the local public health on-site program is to enforce the standards set forth by that 6/27/2008 Message Page 2 of 3 code (added to any additional requirements the local board may include). We don't need to independently validate the science and we cannot precisely assess the function of each individual system. Design and • installation have been carefully regulated for several decades. The real frontier in improving the function of septic systems is to assure that the installed systems keep working as designed. For most systems this is pretty simple. For others (with complex pump cycles and disinfection components) it is highly technical. We are not asking citizens to become experts in all systems. Just to take care of their own systems either by learning to maintain them or contracting with a qualified individual.

A clear understanding of these physical, biological, and chemical processes was necessary before models and other analyses could be used to evaluate the causes for the low dissolved oxygen. The oxygen picture is complex, with both natural and human factors contributing, but with differences in the balance depending on location and time. The overall conclusion is that several natural factors, such as sunlight, wind, and external ocean conditions, affect Hood Canal oxygen conditions substantially and are the major factors in the interannual variation of 1-2 mg/L in minimum oxygen concentrations. Both the mainstem of Hood Canal and Lower Hood Canal are affected by these factors. However, we also find that human factors can be of sufficient magnitude to reduce minimum oxygen concentrations on the order of 1.0 mg/L in Lower Hood Canal over the course of the summer. In a given year, the human impact from anthropogenic N loading will be greatest at Lower Hood Canal during years with mild and sunnier winters and springs. However, the effect from natural or externally forced variation may either add to or negate this effect, so that the overall oxygen concentration can vary widely. More details: -- External factors, such as climatic variation in atmospheric and ocean conditions, controlling oxygen in Hood Canal are very important, in terms of both the observed interannual and interdecadal variations. For instance, the period of the 1950's when more oxygen was observed was associated with lower air and ocean temperatures as well as stronger winds. --Hood Canal is an area within Puget Sound where the growth of algae is particularly sensitive to addition of nitrogen (N). Phytoplankton growth during summer in Lower Hood Canal is limited by the availability of N. An input of N at this time fuels more growth, which in turn decays at depth, consuming oxygen. -- Marine N is the dominant nutrient source to Hood Canal, but loading of N from anthropogenic sources is significant and measurable through observations. -- Previous estimates of the marine input of N to Hood Canal were based on the flux of nitrate over the sill. We have found that this greatly overestimates the flux of N into the surface layer of Lower Hood Canal. A large amount of this N does not reach the surface layer in Lower Hood Canal because some of this becomes part of the seaward return flow beneath the sunlit surface layer (measured at 25-45% of the influx) and some (not • quantified) upwells to the surface layer in northern Hood Canal . This N does not contribute to primary production in the surface layer of Lower Hood Canal. --Anthropogenic N sources, predominantly alders and septics, are a significant part of terrestrial inputs to Hood Canal. • --The timing of N loads from alders is skewed to Nov-Feb, when sunlight and temperature are not conducive to phytoplankton growth; in contrast the timing of N loads from the most heavily populated watersheds is less seasonally variable. Groundwater N loading is appreciable during summer. --The relative contribution of anthropogenic N to the marine water column is greatest in Lower Hood Canal. --Human loading of N into Lower Hood Canal is of sufficient magnitude that it can cause lower oxygen concentrations on the order of 1.0 mg/L over the course of the summer. --There appears to be export of low oxygen water from Lower Hood Canal towards the Hoodsport area during late summer, which could lower ambient oxygen levels in a critical time of the year. --The physical processes that result in fish kills in southern Hood Canal are better understood. A combination of the annual late-summer intrusion of new bottom waters that forces low oxygen waters towards the surface and favorable wind conditions that can bring these low oxygen waters rapidly to the surface results in the high-mortality events in southern Hood Canal. 410 --The bacterial mats that develop in Lower Hood Canal due to low oxygen conditions provide a positive effect for other biota because they prevent dangerous sulfide from reaching the water column, but they also may result in even more eutrophication because of their contribution of ammonium, a N nutrient. --The dissolved oxygen concentrations affect the distribution of biota in Hood Canal, although there is a large amount of complexity to the spatial patterns and temporal responses of individual species. --There are many biological events that we still do not understand regarding Hood Canal biota populations. For instance, we cannot conclude what caused the recent krill beachings, although we can rule out oxygen stress. We cannot conclude whether oxygen or other factors are the primary cause of the reduced number of crabs. --These conclusions are for present conditions and do not take into account potential increases in human population or future climate change.

Low oxygen levels, which can cause the death of fish and other sea creatures, result from a complex interplay between natural and man-made conditions, said oceanographer Jan Newton, who has led a three-year scientific investigation into the problem. The investigation has concluded that two major sources of nitrogen — septic systems and alder trees — could be tipping the natural balance. The findings were reported in a daylong Hood Canal Science Summit Monday at the Kitsap Conference Center. • "Hood Canal has been subject to low-oxygen conditions since the glaciers disappeared," said Al Devol, a University of Washington oceanographer. "It is naturally low, and we are just making it worse." Both septic systems and alders are the result of human changes to the landscape. Alders grow thick where an area has been logged, yet fewer are found in a mature forest. According to the latest findings, about 4 metric tons of nitrogen per month come into lower Hood Canal during the summer months. Of that, about 0.4 tons could be expected in a "pristine" condition dominated by conifer trees, according to the study. Alders contribute 0.5 tons. Nitrogen from upland septic systems provide another 0.5 tons. Shoreline areas contribute about 0.8 tons, mostly from septic systems. Groundwater, which spills into Hood Canal far down on the beach or under water, contributes 1.7 tons of nitrogen from various sources, including alders and septic systems. A new computer model, designed to replicate conditions in Hood Canal, shows that human inputs can push oxygen levels into the danger zone, depending on natural • conditions that can change from year to year, Newton said. "The duration of the spring we have has a lot to do with the oxygen signal of Hood http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2008/j un/30/septic-systems-alders-maj or-sources-of-nitro... 7/10/2008 Septic Systems, Alders Major Sources of Nitrogen in Canal Page 2 of 3 Canal," she noted. If Hood Canal is having a good year and oxygen levels are high, the extra nitrogen from • human sources probably has little effect, she said. Sunny weather and lack of wind can create an explosive growth of plankton, driven by the amount of nitrogen available in the water. The plankton then die and sink to the bottom, where the process of decay consumes oxygen. This can continue into the fall, when fish kills are most likely to occur. Ocean currents can affect Hood Canal, especially when it comes to mixing the waters. But nitrogen from the ocean is not as significant as some scientists once believed, according to one study. Such nitrogen is associated with denser, deeper water that may not feed the plankton, which need sunlight to grow. The concentration of nitrogen in water coming out of the Union River is about three times higher than in water from the Skokomish River, a finding that caused some confusion about which river has the greater overall effect on the canal. Later, Jeff Richie, a University of Washington oceanographer, told the Kitsap Sun that flows in the Skokomish are 28 times greater than the Union, so the overall nitrogen input of the Skokomish is about five times greater. "We can't stop the wind or ocean flows or anything like that," said David Dicks, • executive director of the Puget Sound Partnership, who spoke at the meeting, "but we can control septic systems and alder groves ... The impact of people on the canal is significant. We matter." Dicks said new scientific information is essential to ending ongoing arguments dealing with the problems. "We have the scientific basics to do something here that we don't have anyplace else," he said, adding that an ecosystem model is in the works for all of Puget Sound. The next step is to use the Hood Canal model to measure the results of possible actions — such as installing sewers in Belfair or other communities, where plans are already under way. Following Monday's conference, Kitsap County Commissioner Josh Brown said county officials will need to be increasingly engaged with the scientists as solutions are proposed. "We need for them to feed this information to us," said Brown, a member of the Hood Canal Coordinating Council. "It is a very exciting time." Dicks' father, U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Belfair, has been widely credited with funding http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2008/jun/30/septic-systems-alders-major-sources-of-nitro... 7/10/2008 • Septic Systems, Alders Major Sources of Nitrogen in Canal Page 3 of 3 the scientific investigation, which has cost $7.7 million so far. • "I always have believed that if you are going to have an intelligent program dealing with natural resources, you have to have good science," Norm Dicks said.

Natural factors,scientists said Monday,are primarily responsible for oxygen shortages that cause intermittent fish kills that have plagued Hood Canal for years. "Hood Canal has been vulnerable to low oxygen since the glaciers retreated,"said Allan Devol,a University of Washington oceanographer."It's naturally low and we're just making it a little bit worse." Devol was one of several scientists who spoke Monday at a Bremerton conference.The Hood Canal science summit showcased the results of three years of study by a team of scientists led by UW oceanographer Jan Newton. U.S. Rep.Norm Dicks,D-Belfair,who secured most of the federal money for the$4.5 million project,sponsored the event and promised to seek additional backing for scientific research on the canal and the rest of Puget Sound. "This is a very important national issue,"Dicks said."We're not going to just let this end. We're going to continue it." • Massive fish kills in 2002 and 2003 attracted widespread attention to the canal's troubles and prompted government officials to seek causes and solutions. Dicks has been an outspoken champion of the scientific effort,which he believes will point to an effective fix. The UW study—with$1.2 million in federal support—is continuing this year,Newton said. Narrow,with steep banks,Hood Canal technically is a 60-mile-long fjord. In some places,it's 500 feet deep,a diver's mecca hosting a variety of deep-water sea life.Elsewhere,the canal is shallow and more like a lake than aninland waterway. Periodic fish kills have tainted its image since at least the 1920s,scientists said. Sunlight,wind,temperature and ocean conditions combine to influence water conditions,which,in turn,test the mettle of creatures below,scientists said. "There are very strong natural drivers affecting how low oxygen goes in the Hood Canal,"Newton said. Even so,at the canal's southern end in summer,human activity exacerbates the problem. "People always make it worse,"Newton said."When conditions are bad, it's going to have an impact on fish." The preliminary results unveiled Monday were based on an analysis of data collected from 2005 through 2007. Scientists confirmed that nitrogen is the biggest factor contributing to periodic oxygen deficiency,which leads to fish kills. Nitrogen stimulates the growth of algae and other marine plants. When algae dies,its decomposition robs the water of • some of the oxygen,which fish and other marine animals breathe. The study found most nitrogen in the canal comes from the ocean,but that people add to the load,particularly at the canal's southern end.Among the pollutants:septic runoff and fertilizers. http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/environment/v-printerfriendly/story/40185 8.html 7/10/2008 The News Tribune -Natural causes blamed for Hood Canal fish kills (print) Page 2 of 2 Dicks said scientists eventually might conclude that alternatives to ordinary septic systems are necessary to avert continued canal pollution."This has to be part of the solution,"he said,"but I know of no magical way to fund this." As part of the study,scientists looked back at information collected during the 1950s and 1960s. Since that time,they 41) found increases in incidence,area and duration of fish kills. Higher temperatures have contributed to the problem,Newton said."There is an element of climate change,"she said. But she and Devol said their research did not try to make a connection between human activity and global warming. The human impact on the chemistry of the canal is most evident after mild,sunny winters and springs,scientists said. "Is one more septic tank going to make a difference?Probably not,"said Devol,who added he isn't sure scientists will be able to identify a tipping point for Hood Canal pollution. Even so,David Dicks,the congressman's son and the man overseeing the state's efforts to restore Puget Sound,is convinced people can make a difference. "The bottom line is that we matter,that the impact of people on the canal is important,is significant,"said David Dicks, Puget Sound Partnership executive director."We can't stop the wind or the ocean,or any of those things,but we can control the septic flows."

People helping to suffocate Hood Canal .:; scientists say i 4._ By Warren Cornwall .... -- Seattle Times staff reporter THOMAS JAMES HURST/THE SEATTLE TIMES People drawn to the beauty of Hood Canal are Waterfront homes are shown along Hood Canal. helping suffocate the very waters that brought Scientists say septic tanks leaking nitrogen into them here. the canal is responsible for fish kills. Septic systems leaking nitrogen from sewage into the southern end of the picturesque fjord are contributing to a chain reaction that kills fish and depletes the richness of underwater life, scientists announced Monday at a summit in Bremerton. • The findings confirm what had been suspected for some time — that population growth and septic drain fields are a likely culprit behind lethally low underwater oxygen levels. But the results of three years of intensive work by scientists have found that human impacts on an ecosystem can come even in surprising ways. Logging, for instance, has paved the way for more alder trees, which in turn release nitrogen into Hood Canal. And it illustrates the big problems that can come when a delicate natural balance is thrown even slightly off kilter. "It underscores that in lower Hood Canal we have a very sensitive system that has a big human component," said Duane Fagergren of the Puget Sound Partnership, the state agency working on a plan to revive Puget Sound and Hood Canal. The scientific findings were released at a daylong meeting in Bremerton, held nearly six years after the first in a string of fish kills set off alarms about the health of Hood Canal. Since then, the narrow, deep canal has become a poster child for people concerned about the overall health of the Sound. Multiple culprits • Nitrogen has long been suspected as the chief culprit for the Hood Canal's woes, because it fertilizes algae growth. When the algae dies and decomposes, it sucks oxygen from surrounding water. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/PrintStory.pl?document_id=2008026792&zsectio... 7/10/2008 Local News j People helping to suffocate Hood Canal, scientists say Seattle Times News... Page 2 of 3 But where exactly was the nitrogen coming from? And what can make things get so bad that beaches are strewn with dead fish? It turns out the ocean is the single biggest source of nitrogen flowing into the canal. And of the human activities, the amount of nitrogen coming from alders dwarfs septic tanks. Low oxygen levels, meanwhile, are also influenced by weather and currents. Deep water with little oxygen can get pushed to the surface suddenly in parts of the canal when a wind from the south arrives after long periods of calm, sunny weather. A study of layers of muck at the bottom of the canal showed low oxygen levels emerged periodically even centuries ago. 1 .4 But today, heavily populated areas play a critical 00. role by delivering doses of nitrogen during the , # most sensitive time, in some of the canal's most Breme � ° vulnerable areas, according to researchers. • t y People around the southern end of Hood Canal can have a big impact during the summer when oxygen levels reach their lowest, the scientists Skokorrr#sh Tacoma found. And that water could be helping to feed lever the fish kills in the Hoodsport area. `Olympia Human influences — mostly septic tanks — can 4 20 cut oxygen in the water in the southern end by Auni half, or more, during critical summer months. MILES THE SEATTLE TIMES Harmful oxygen levels For fish, that can make the difference between life and death. Jan Newton, the University of Washington scientist leading the research effort, noted a state Fish and Wildlife Department study that found when oxygen levels fall below 2 milligrams in a liter of water, rockfish start moving to avoid the water. When it falls below 0.7 milligrams, it can kill the fish. Humans can cause as much as a 1 milligram drop in the lower Hood Canal during the summer, the scientists found. "If you're in a low oxygen year and you add humans, that could kill fish," Newton said. • In addition to fish kills, there are fears that chronically low oxygen is causing other damage. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/PrintStory.pl?document id=2008026792&zsectio... 7/10/2008 Local News I People helping to suffocate Hood Canal, scientists say I Seattle Times News... Page 3 of 3 Fishermen are facing a steep drop in their catches, which some suspect is tied to lower oxygen levels. 111 The catch for tribal and nontribal fishermen has fallen from nearly 700,000 pounds in 2000 to 268,500 in 2007 and 2008. A white bacterial mat periodically forms near the canal's southern tip and covers as much as 8 square kilometers. U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, who has helped steer more than $7 million in federal money toward the research, said remedies will likely include costly new sewage systems for parts of Hood Canal. "I think we're going to find that we have to put sewer systems in the lower Hood Canal. It's going to be expensive," he told people gathered in Bremerton. "Now, I don't have any magical way to fund this." The Belfair area is already planning to build a $25 million sewage plant, expected to open in 2011. Three other communities in the southern part of Hood Canal are planning sewage plants as well. Meanwhile, a nonprofit banking program, ShoreBank Enterprise Cascadia, has loaned money to replace 66 septic systems in the three counties surrounding Hood Canal. It's estimated • there are as many as 25,000 septic systems surrounding the canal.

The first stage involves a Health Officer Administrative Hearing resulting in the upholding or reversing of a public health action. The second stage allows a person"aggrieved by the findings or required actions of an administrative hearing"to request a hearing before the County Board of Health. The appellant is required to "submit specific statements in writing of the reason why error is assigned to the decision of the health officer" and to pay the required fee. At this hearing • the health officer and appellant submit information for the Board's review. After review, the Board may come to a decision upholding or reversing the administrative hearing actions or maycontinuethe matter to a future meeting. Any decision of the Board of Health is final and may be reviewed by an action filed in superior court. Case before the Board: An administrative hearing was held on March 13, 2008 in response to an appeal of a NOCV issued on January 14, 2008. Findings of fact and conclusions of law were determined and sent to Ms. Sexton on April 24, 2008. Ms. Sexton appealed these finding in a timely fashion. An appeal was scheduled for June and rescheduled to July at the appellants' request. The facts of the case, as summarized in the administrative hearing report are straightforward. Ms. Sexton's response is complex and references a number of other solid waste and building code enforcement actions she has been involved with over the past decade. This complex history provides an important context for the Board's review of this case but is not the subject of the July 17, 2008 appeal hearing. Issues for the Board's Review: Ms. Sexton takes issue with the actions of fire officials, building inspectors, and various county employees in the past. These complaints appear misdirected to the Board of Health. • COMMUNITY HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES �t p��Y�;f, � � ; WATER QUALITY FAX:36a 85-940°b HEALTHIER COMMUNITY MAIN: 36°379-4487 FAX: 364379-44$7 . From my perspective as the hearing officer at the March 13, 2008 Administrative • Hearing, there are three key issues raised by Ms. Sexton where she alleges "error in the decision of the health officer". 1)Ms. Sexton disputes the legality of entry to her property by building inspectors following a fire at one of her rental properties on February 7, 2006. Since one of these building inspectors subsequently filed a solid waste violation complaint with Jefferson County Public Health(JCPH), Ms. Sexton argues that this complaint is invalid and cannot be used as the basis for a site visit. 2)Ms. Sexton disputes the legal definition of solid waste as contained in state and local solid waste codes. Specifically, she disputes definitions of the terms "discarded commodities" and"bulky waste". 3)Ms. Sexton asserts a"First Amendment right to my religious practice short of REAL HEALTH HAZARD", i.e. a right to practice her religious belief that"end times are upon us and that every commodity will be priceless when scarcity prevails." This belief has motivated her to "religiously save" items that would be"a sin to discard". These beliefs have put her at odds with complaining neighbors, building inspectors, and solid waste code enforcers for the past decade. In the Conclusions of Law section of the Administrative Hearings report, issues#1 and 2 were addressed. With respect to the contention that"an illegal entry voids the illegal activity engaged in, including observations", it was my determination that a complaint is • not a form of evidence and thus does not follow the rules that govern the admissibility of evidence. A solid waste complaint can be filed by any concerned individual and constitutes an unconfirmed allegation that a solid waste violation may be occurring. It is judged on a general standard of reasonableness. It is the responsibility of enforcement agencies such as JCPH to investigate all reasonable solid waste complaints, gather evidence, and take action based on that evidence. Regarding issue#2, I rejected the notion that it is a matter of individual prerogative to designate which materials are solid waste and which are not. The criteria for determining if an item meets the legal definition for solid waste are contained in state and local solid waste codes. Items that clearly meet these statutory definitions are subject to the requirements imposed by these codes. The Administrative Hearing is silent on the issue of whether a religious exemption to state and local solid waste codes exists. I am aware of no such exemption in Washington state law as relates to solid or hazardous waste. Summary: At a minimum, I recommend the Board consider three key issues: COMMUNITY HEALTH PUBLICHEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH • DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES �r5 d NATURAL RESOURCES MAIN:360-385-9400 ALWAYS'r`aJt1RKI�u FORA SAFER ANDi MAIN:360-385-9444 FAX:360-385-9401 HEALTHIER COMMUNITY FAX:360-385-9401 • 1) Is the solid waste code complaint filed by a Jefferson County employee in conjunction with a site visit on February 7, 2006 sufficient to warrant a site inspection? 2) Was the photographic evidence gathered by Jefferson County employees with the permission of neighboring property owners obtained in a legal manner? 3) Does the photographic evidence constitute sufficient proof that solid waste code violations were occurring and justified issuance of the NOCV of January 14, 2008? If the Board affirms the administrative hearings findings on these three key issues, I would respectfully submit that the NOCV should be upheld. It the JCPH's actions were deficient in any of these three areas the NOCV should be reversed.

Present at the hearing: Linda Sexton, appellant, Morris Wiseman, tenant , Margorie Boyd, Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) Environmental Health Specialist, and Thomas Locke, Jefferson County Health Officer. Findings of Fact: 1)On February 7, 2006 Mr.Wiseman experienced a stovepipe fire in his dwelling on Peat Plank Rd. (parcel#901253002) and called East Jefferson Fire Rescue for assistance. 2) Upon arrival Assistant Chief Ted Krysinski noted that the tenant had extinguished the fire. Inspection • revealed a wood stove in apparent violation of building codes. AC Krysinski contacted AC Aumock by phone who recommended that the wood stove be condemned and notified Jefferson County Department of Community Development(DCD)to perform an inspection. 3) Building Official Fred Slota, Building Inspector Jim Coyne, and Code Compliance Officer Molly Pearson arrived at the scene later that day and advised Mr.Wiseman to hire a professional to evaluate and install new piping for the wood stove. Molly Pearson took photographs of the dwelling, noted multiple solid waste violations, and made a follow-up referral to Jefferson County Public Health for investigation. 4)On September 18, 2007 Marjorie Boyd contacted Ms. Sexton by mail requesting a site visit to determine if parcel#901253002 had solid waste code violations. No response was received. 5)On October 16, 2007 permission was obtained from owners of a nearby parcel to allow access to inspectors from JCPH, Jefferson County Sheriffs Office (JCSO), and DCD. 6) On October 18, 2007 Deputy Tamura of JCSO and Margorie Boyd of JCPH viewed the subject property from a nearby logging road on property owned by the ITT Rayonier Corporation. Photos were taken. Observations include""Large piles of solid waste including but not limited to: discarded commodities such as chairs, torn cushions, skis, carpeting, scrap metal, hosing, scrap wood, cloth, appliances,and broken windows. These piles were heaped on the ground along both sides of Peat Plank Rd., exposed to the weather and covered with leaves". Additional photographs were taken on October 23,2007 and January 10,2008. 7) On January 14, 2008 an NOCV letter was sent via certified mail to Ms. Sexton giving notice to address all solid waste violations within 30 days. • COMMUNITY HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES 4"` i iCSAFER WATER QUALITY FAx 360-385-940 a ALVVAYS HEALTHIER COMMUNITY MAIN: 360385-9444 FAX: 36(}379-4487 8)On February 11, 2008 an appeal of this NOCV filed by Ms. Sexton was received by JCPH.

Ms. Sexton further argued that building code inspectors entered her property without her specific permission. Ms. Sexton also reviewed the history of enforcement efforts on the subject property. 10) Ms. Sexton acknowledged that photographs of solid waste taken from adjacent property involved some of her property but stated they also involve"property dumped by someone else at least a year ago along the logging road and where my access road joins in". She argued that consent had not been obtained from all landowners whose property is crossed by the easement road that leads to ITT Rayonier property. 11) During the March 13, 2008 appeal, Ms. Sexton denied littering her property with solid waste. In written testimony she stated"I do not discard waste upon my property. The Solid Waste regulations apply to me as far as to anyone else... I take my solid waste—those materials I choose To WASTE and I then DISCARD them to the Jefferson Recycling Center and the Jefferson County Landfill. See Receipts. I decide when something is no longer useful to me or not worth keeping. I decide the value of a material to me." 12) Photographs were submitted labeled"Sexton Property Parcel#901253002 Photos Taken by A. Hinklin/JCPH 10-23-07"and"Linda Sexton Property Peat Plank Rd 1-10-08 Photos by Boyd/JCPH". Review of these photographs shows piles of rugs, pieces of furniture, appliances, cans, and bottles. Conclusions of Law: 1) Ms. Sexton is the legal owner of parcel#901253002, also referred to as Peat Plank Rd. • 2) East Jefferson Fire Rescue was summoned to this parcel on February 7, 2006 by a call for emergency assistance by the tenant Mr.Wiseman. Entry to this property by emergency responders was lawful. 3) Potential violations of building codes were noted by Assistant Chief Krysinski. Consultation with Assistant Chief Aumock resulted in a report of potential violations to Jefferson County DCD. DCD inspectors arrived on site later that day, assessed fire damage to the structure and noted the need for an approved repair of the wood stove chimney. They referred potential solid waste code violations to JCPH. These actions are consistent with the official duties of the individuals involved. Ms. Sexton disputes the legality of entry to her property by DCD inspectors, citing her letter of July 27, 2004 requiring her prior permission for entry to any of her properties. 4)A complaint was filed with JCPH regarding potential solid waste violations following the site visit of February 7, 2006. Solid waste complaints can be filed by any concerned individual. They are not considered evidence and are not required to meet standards of evidence. JCPH, as the enforcement agency for state and local solid waste code violations, is required to investigate complaints of potential solid waste code violations. 5) Entry to private property requires the consent of the property owner or a search warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Ms. Sexton has withheld her consent to allow investigation of parcel # 901253002. 6) Photographic evidence was gathered on October 23, 2007 and January 10, 2008 from adjacent property owned by the ITT Rayonier Corporation. Consent to enter this property was granted by the COMMUNITY HEALTH HEALTH DEEVELOPMENTALDSABILITIES PUBLIC HEALTH E�NIATCURALNMENTAL RESOURCES • ALWAYS WORKING FORA.SAFER AND MAIN:360-385-9400 MAIN:360-385-9444 FAX:360-385-9401 HEALTHIER COMMUNITY FAX:360-385-9401 property owner. Consent to enter property also confers the right to access all easement roads to that property. Photographic evidence shows multiple solid waste violations. 7) Ms. Sexton's observation that"the Solid Waste regulations apply to me as far as to anyone else" is correct. Ms. Sexton's contention that it is a matter of individual prerogative to designate which materials are solid waste is incorrect. State and local codes define solid waste, including discarded commodities ("Products or items that because of damage, misuse,wear, or neglect, are no longer being utilized for its intended purpose")and bulky waste ("Large items of refuse, such as appliances (white goods),furniture, junk vehicles, and other oversize wastes which would typically not fit into reusable or disposable containers). 8) Photographic evidence submitted by JCPH shows the presence of items meeting the statutory definition of bulky waste and discarded commodities. Summary Conclusions: Investigation of the solid waste complaint filed in February of 2006 has been protracted and complicated. Ms. Sexton has actively opposed this investigation asserting her lawful right to restrict access to her property. Ms. Sexton has also strenuously objected to the definitions of solid waste contained in state and local codes and has argued for her right to personally decide what is and is not solid waste. Ms. Sexton asserts that the complaint at issue was the result of an illegal building inspection which followed an emergency assistance call by her tenant. The legality of the building inspector site visit is not relevant to the NOCV appeal. Complaints are not a form of evidence and do not need to conform to standards of evidence nor to meet a test of probable cause. Complaints need only be assessed as to whether they represent a reasonable probability that a solid waste code violation may have occurred. Complaints of this nature trigger investigations during which evidence sufficient to determine whether a violation has occurred is gathered. • Photographic evidence submitted by JCPH inspectors documents multiple items which meet the legal definition of bulky waste and discarded commodities. Evidence was obtained from "plain view" observation from adjacent property entered with the consent of the property owner. This evidence is lawfully obtained, detailed, and sufficient to justify the issuance of a NOCV directing the responsible party to property dispose of solid waste. Administrative Action: Appeal to the January 14, 2008 Notice and Order to Correct Violation is denied. The NOCV is reinstated along with the associated compliance schedule. Appeal of Administrative Hearing: Jefferson County Code 8.10.950(7)(b)details the process for appealing an administrative hearing decision to the Jefferson County Board of Health.

No response was received. 10-16-07 I obtained permission from property owners of nearby parcels for JCPH, JCSO, and DCD to use an old logging road off of Ole Torkelson Rd. 10-18-07 Deputy Tamura of JCSO and I viewed the subject property from the logging road. Photos were obtained. I saw large piles of solid waste including but not limited to: discarded commodities such as chairs, torn cushions, skis, carpeting, scrap metal, hosing, scrap wood, cloth, appliances, and broken windows. These piles were heaped on the ground along both sides of Peat Plank Rd., exposed to the weather and covered with leaves. There were also two trailers noted.

JCPH-EH case # 1069 Dear Ms. Sexton: This letter is to follow up a solid waste complaint concerning the parcel listed above that you own. My predecessor, Mark Nelson, received the complaint and began the case in February 2006. It appears from his notes that he spoke with • you and requested that you two work together to resolve the issue. It does not appear that a site visit ever happened or that the case was resolved. It is my desire to resolve this case that has been open for more than a year. I would like to schedule a site visit to the above listed land parcel to determine if there is a solid waste violation. If there is not, I will close the case. If there is a violation, then I would like to work with you to resolve it. The site visit would take anywhere from twenty minutes to one hour, and can be arranged for any day other than a Wednesday. The inspection will not include other departments, nor will it deal with the inside of structures. I will merely be inspecting the grounds and photo-documenting any solid waste violations noted. We can do the site visit together, or you can give me permission to inspect the property if you do not want to be there. Please call me at your earliest possible convenience to schedule a site visit. My direct phone line is 379-4480. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to resolving this case. • COMMUNITY HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ALWAYS WORKING FOR A a�I C NATURAL RESOURCES MAIN:360-385-9400 MAIN:360-385-9444 FAX:360-385-9401 HEALTHIER COMMUNITY FAX:360-385-9401 Sincerely, • Marjorie Boyd Environmental Health Specialist Jefferson County Public Health cc: File S COMMUNITY HEALTH •TAL HEALTH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES �U BLLCn HEALTH EN ON NATURALRESO RESOURCES MAIN:360-385-9400 AL�VAFSNvORKINGFORASAFER ANMAIN:360-385-9444 FAX:360-385-9401 HEALTHIER COMMUNITY FAX:360-385-9401 4.

Molly Pearson, Code Compliance Officer; Fred Slota, Building Official; and Jim Coyne; Building Inspector, drove together to the site. We contacted the occupant of the structure and Fred determined there was no imminent danger, as the fire had been limited to the chimney, and was completely extinguished upon our arrival. Fred directed the resident to hire a professional to evaluate and install new piping for the wood stove, and to not use the wood stove until this was successful completed. Molly took photographs of the dwelling for the report, and we then left the property. While on-site, we noted extensive solid waste violations, and made a follow-up referral to Jefferson County Public Health Enforcement. i EAST JEFFERSON FIRE RESCUE • Chief, as directed here is my summary notes for the Incident 2006-261 I was the Duty Chief for D6-Pt at the time of the Incident and came as support for D6 to D1 for the call. (My contract went in to effect for D1 on the 13th of February 2006) Arriving units, including JCSO, had a difficult time finding the actual unit (residence) from which the call originated. The occupant actually found us; JCSO and me. Engine 11 became partially stuck and was held to what could be called the "main road" due to access and turn around issues. The chimney fire was extinguished by the occupant prior to our arrival as noted in the official report. The fire did cause some damage to the interior roof sheeting. The chimney and wood stove did not appear to be installed to building code regulations as seen in buildings that had approved wood stoves. Due to this situation and my official capacity, I contacted AC Aumock on the phone for direction as indicated in the official report. Ac Aumock advised me to get the occupant information, the owner information and he would have the building department follow up that day. I was also informed that we could clear the scene if the fire was out and after the occupant was advised not to use the wood stove until it was inspected. The Occupant was advised and all units were cleared as directed and noted in the report. • I was contacted after the event (plus or minus two days later) by Mrs. Sexton wanting more information on the event. I directed her to AC Aumock as directed by Ac Aumock from a conversation Ac Aumock and I had after the event as a post event follow up. I had no further contact with Mrs. Sexton after that conversation. I also had no further involvement with the situation after the follow up conversation with AC Aumock.

I have read the report and I am puzzled and disturbed by the large number of discrepencies between the report and what actually happened. The report states: "On arrival to the address units were not available to find the unit due to extensive debris and poor addressing." • My unit is hard to fmd because there are a number of roads, which are not marked, leading to different residences on the property. There is no debris on the roads. "I directed the fire crews to remove the failed chimney flue and advised the renter that he could not use the wood stove until it was cleared by the fire marshal." I was given no such instructions by the Fire Department. It was Fred Slota of the Building Department that told me that I would have to get the chimney installed by a "Certified Woodstove Installer". We could not find one. "AC Aumock advised me to condem the wood stove and that the County Building Department would be onsite in+8hrs to investigate the housing unit." Representatives of the Building Department and the Health Department arrived within an hour of when the firemen left. They told me that they had been informed that there had been severe damage to the dwelling. I was puzzled as to who would have given them that misinformation. ID Based on the above, I have severe doubts as to the credibility of the Fire Department and/or the Building Department. • Incident 2006-261, February 7,2006 Reference: East Jefferson Fire Rescue—Additional summary notes REPORT of February28,2008 by Ted Krysinski,Assistant Chief,as requested for clarification from Chief Chuck Boggs,as requested from Linda Sexton, Property Owner at 6267 Beaver Valley Road, Chimacum, Washington,where I currently reside as Tenant in the above named Incident I can categorically state that there was no damage to the interior roof sheeting, I was not asked for any information. Morris Wiseman 6267 Beaver Valley Road, #B Chimacum, Washington 98325 S March 12,2008 • X4708` RE: Notice of A eal o the Jefferson County Board of Health • Linda Sexton hereby requests an Appeal of her Denial of Appeal made to Dr. Locke, Health Officer at the Administrative Hearing held March 13, 2008. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1). " Mr. Wiseman experienced a stovepipe fire in his dwelling on Peat Plank Road..." Mr. Wiseman was a tenant. The dwelling belongs to Linda Sexton.None of Linda Sexton's property in on Peat Plank Rd. 2). " Inspection revealed a wood stove in apparent violation of building codes.."I question APPARENT violations, I was never told of any nor the tenant. The International Fire Code, Chapter 1, ADMINISTRATION, Section 102 APPLICABILITY 102.1 Construction and design provisions. The construction and design provisions of this code shall apply to: 1. Structures, facilities and conditions arising after the adoption of this code. • 4. Existing structures, facilities and conditions which, in the opinion of the code official, constitute a distinct hazard to life or property. There was no DISTINCT hazard to life or property. There was Duty Chief, Ted Krysinski's feelings. He made NOTES, February 28, 2008, for Acting Chief Boggs request for detail, as I had requested the facts and Public Disclosure of all information in regards this incident "The chimney and wood stove did not appear to be installed to building code regulations as seen in buildings that had approved wood stoves"This is the explanation that was offered referencing the FIRE REPORT: I contacted AC Aumock reference the fire marshall issue of a non-certified wood stove in a non-certified residential unit. AC Aumock advised me to condem the wood stove .." This condemnation was based on appearances. The cottage was built in 1972. with the original stove. . It is grandfathered and not subject to the 1992 Wood Stove Certification. I have cleaned and maintained the stovepipe for 35 years without fail; it was the Burn-Out Logs that left ignitable residue. The pipe separated an inch or two. It needed to be simply reconnected and a screw added perhaps. 1/4 Tom Aumock should have witnessed personally before he condemned. I never was able • to make contact with Tom Aumock, my calls were not returned. 3. An investigation was made without my knowledge or consent or informed consent.No phone call and I have a home phone, a cell phone, e-mail, and answering machine and voice mail. There was no damage to anything, let alone the piping. That is poor advise to replace pipe that is safely reusable. 4. "No response was received." I was in the middle of an APPEAL on the same issues held August 15, 2007. I received the determination that the NOV issued was VOID around the first week of October. I made reference to the Fire Incident as another example of illegal entry, whereupon CASE 1069 originated.by Molly Pierson, Civil Code Compliance Officer. It was re-pursued the day after the AUGUST hearing, while I was kept in the dark for nearly two months! 5. On October 16, 2007 permission from"a nearby parcel". The access road is a 2 and a half logging road that is accessed from another Center Valley Rd. My property is in Beaver Valley. The access parcels are not nearby. •I feel stalked with such far out measures and my reputation with my neighbors has been degraded. 6. None of my property is discarded. I have my property all over in disarray, however. My property does not border or come close to Peat Plank Road. That road is a Community Road. My property is exposed to the weather. Some of my property is covered with leaves. I disagree that the complaint generated from an illegal entry is not relevant to the NOCV appeal. It is the crux of the matter to begin with. It was not a legal building inspection. On February 7, 2008, a tenant, Morris Wiseman,noticed a wood stove chimney fire, called the fire department, got the fire extinguisher and put the fire out. The Fire Dept, under the direction of T. Krysinki from a different District and not contracted under the Chimacum Fire District, had the stove pipe dismantled, and made a call to Fire Code . 245 Official Tom Aumock, who based on the feelings of T. Krysinki that it didn't look like • other approved wood stoves in other buildings he had seen, condemned the stove and the cottage. A phone call was made to the Department of Community Development. An hour or two later, Molly Pierson, Code Complaince Officer, Fred Sloda,Building Department Official, and Jim Coyne, Building Inspector came out to condemn the cottage and evict my tenant. He was offered assistance for emergency housing with the Red Cross. He proffered he didn't need to use the wood stove,he had electric heaters. They left. He reported the incident to me. I tired to contact the Fire Department and the Building Department about the incident repeatedly with no response for two weeks. I then received a letter instructing me to hire a Certified Stove Company to reinstall. After intense investigation, I discerned there is no such thing,and when I replied as to such with question, I never received a reply. After repeated phone calls to the office and cell • phone of the Fire Chief and three weeks later, I was told what occurred. A fire occurred and it was referred to the DCD. There was no life threatening emergency,there was someones prejudical judgment on the looks of my cottage and stove. The Department of Community Development and the Building Department arrived reporting they had heard there was such extensive damage that the building was not unfit for human habitation. There was not the slightest damage. There was no report of any damage of such in the Fire District Report that was not reviewed and finalized until three months later. If this was a life-threatening event then I should have been informed of such immediately by the Fire Department. The Fire Code Official should have made an official visit prior to condemnation. I should have been informed of a referral to the Department of • Community Development and the Building Department. I should have gotten a telephone call from the DCD and/or the Building Department informing me of the fire event and of • the facts and their concerns, PRIOR to there coming onto my property without my informed consent. In July 2004,I gave notice to the Board of Commissioners,the Board of Health, the Prosecuting Attorney, the Department of Community Development,the Building Department, and the Sheriff Office that demanded informed consent prior to entering my property. I personally handed the NOTICE that I had mailed out the week earlier, to Al Scalf, DCD Director to whom I appealed an NOV issued by Molly Pierson. I was determined NOT to be in violation of the Rural Residential Storage Ordinance. Yet he turned around the following week and entered my house without my INFORMED consent. A couple of weeks earlier, Molly Pierson did the same in the follow-up to her NOV and then a week later again,with Tony Hernandez drove into my yard commanding me most • uncivilly to take all my stuff to the dump. The following week at the Hearing, I was determined not to be in violation. Yet,my constitutional rights to privacy were trampled on. On February 8,2007,the day after the DCD and Building Department illegal-uninformed consent, a complaint was filed with the Department of Health for waste violations; Molly Pierson was probably the complainant. Molly Pierson has had a personal agenda directed against me since 1997,when she was a curbside recycling educator with the Environmental Health Dept. Then, I appealed, with counsel, an NOV for being falsely accused of being a Solid Waste Handling Facility. This was absurb!!! The Prosecution q • complained of a public nuisance but left it go after complaining and my hiring new Counsel, Crad Verser to Answer Complaint. The DCD complaint was followed up upon by Mark Nelson. In our telephone conversation, I told him he would have to get a search warrant to come onto the property and that he would have to have legal probable cause. An illegal entry voids the illegal activity engaged in, including observations. It was and is now two years after that Fire Incident and the Health Department conversation. Meanwhile, I am cited with another NOV June 2007, I appealed based on illegal entry without informed consent. The NOV was voided. Meanwhile, I have a NOTICE OF INFORMED CONSENT ON FILE TO Jefferson County Departments,and all named and unnamed Directors, and All Employees. I particularly named Molly Pierson and Tony Hernandez as they were the immediate • violators. The Department of Health took two months to deliver the Violation Voided due to illegal entry. Meanwhile the day after the August 15, 2007 hearing,the Health Department is acquiring several property owners permission to enter upon a 2 and a half mile logging road to view the corner of my property to take pictures as evidence that I am in violation of waste regulations. I was left in the dark while the Department of Health with their heads up proceeded on with their investigation to prepare with citing me again with an NOV from which I appealed to Dr. Locke. UNFAIR. The current PHOTOS thought to be evidence are only that. Pictures of property on my property. 1111 5-- A--5 Back to the issue of Entry. Back to the Fire Department. T. Kryskinki contacted . Aumock to reference the fire marshall issue of a"non-certified wood stove" in a non- certified residential unit." They condemned the wood stove. My cottage is grandfathered and with the original stove. The Fire Department failed to follow their Standard Operating Guidelines. Their Policy in regards to Incident Notification and Follow-up with Other Agencies directs them to: 2.0 Time of Notification: 2.1 1st contact with the property owner shall be made within 72 hours of the incident time. 2.2 Notification to property owner of the final report shall be ade within 72 hours of completion of the investigation. 3.Type of Notifications: 3.1 If 1 str contact is made by phone, follow up correspondence shall be mailed to the property owner by registered-return receipt requested mail. 3.2 Notification of the final report shall be in writing by registered return receipt requested other agencies regarding the incident shall be forwarded • mail. 4.0 Any correspondence to g g g to the owner by registered-return receipt requested mail. I never was contacted within 72 hours nor able to talk to the Fire Chief,Mingue for several weeks. I never received ANY report and no notification of the DCD referral. I never was contacted by the DCD in regards to this incident prior to their arrival and I was never informed of their site visit until I received a letter dated February 7, 2008, fire day,but not sent for two to three weeks later. The DCD failed to do their homework to see that I had a grandfathered building and did not fall under their jurisdiction of stove certification,hence the delay in their communication and hence their"Certified Stove Company"response. People get certified,not stores.They failed to respond to my return letter seeking clarification. I have since tried thru repeated requests for Public Disclosure to document the trail of a • Q C • "life threatening" issue that might transfer some 911 emergency authority to someone else and even if their was sound reason to do so, that does not negate the respect of DUE NOTICE and then DUE informed consent...and then if not informed consent,then the obtaining of a search warrant based on sound probable cause. Morris Wiseman witnessed at the March 13, 2008 appeal that there was no damage to anything and that noone discussed the matter with him as to the cause of the first. The fire was caused by the Clean-Out Logs purchased at a Hardware Store that are known to cause chimney fires as informed and confirmed by a Certified Chimney Sweep and Acting Chief Chuck Boggs. I cannot find any reference whatsoever in the communications from the Fire Department or Fire Code Official, Tom Aumock, to the DCD or any internal • communications directing an EMERGENCY, LIFE THREATENING response within the DCD and to the Building Department Personnel. I can find no reference of the Letter sent to me from Fred Sloda, Building Official or my communication in return, or ANY REFERENCE whatsoever—any REPORT from that visit made by anybody, any e-mail, case log. The only thing I know, is that a Complaint was filed by the DCD, the day after the fire, to the Health Dept. They opened CASE 1069, initiated an investigation and after initial contact by phone conversation dropped the case short of a search warrant; it, curiously enough never mentioned in the case log. Rather, he documented my feelings of rape, abuse,persecution And then May, 2007 the Health Department investigates a complaint upon my property, AGAIN, without getting my informed consent or a search warrant!!! -Tr[7 I[ I • It happened in 1997, 2004,2006, 2007, and 2008 has added an element of • STALKING. Disturbing the peace and quiet of my neighbors and my relationship with them has prejudiced me further and my reputation. I have been exposed over and over to the local press,refered to in the local newspaper"as a tough nut to crack", and by the prosecution"as the Moby Dick" for Jefferson County Enforcement Officers to the Health Department. My last appeal in 1997 before the Health Officer was denied and my Appeal to the Board of Health was denied amidst their confusion and undetermination as to whether I was a Solid Waste Handling Facility or a Recycling Facility or Center. It was even recorded in the MINUTES TRANSCRPT, at this UNDUE lynch mob,without being shown the ALLEGED evidence,that I admitted collecting solid waste!!! It is to this very fact that I am appealing FROM. • 2. The Solid Waste Regulations apply to me as they do to anyone else. I, however, cannot continue to be tortured by your misapplication of the Ordinance. At issue here, as I have presented to the Board of Health when drafting of the latest Ordinance regarding Solid Waste Regulations and seeking Public Comment„my views on the subject and the distinction between cosmetics and real and distinct health hazard, is,what is solid waste? When we started this discussion when I was accused of having a problem, around 1985,there was a Document that defined Solid Waste as Kitchen and animal waste primarily. Then in 1988,the word discarded commodities was added after kitchen waste. And in that 100 page document with 100 Definitions,you would think that the definition of SOLID WASTE would be most extensive. AND that the modifiers used to define what solid waste is,would also be defined as the MOST important , 1111 P"' definition. But no, DISCARDED COMMODITIES was thrown into the wastebasket with NO DEFINITION! Then in the 1990's the word got defined and honed down to the ludricrous definition: discarded commodities PRODUCTS OR ITEMS THAT BECAUSE OF DAMAGE,MISUSE, WEAR, OR NEGLECT,ARE NO LONGER BEING UTILIZED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE" AND BULKY WASTE (Large items of refuse,such as appliances(white goods), furniture,junk vehicles, and other oversize wastes which would typically not fit into reusuable or disposable containers). And so unless it is brand new, it is subject to violation, search and seizure and WASTING. Any"wear" is evidence of WASTE, or even neglect, whatever that is. AND, recycling is forbidden. If it is no longer being utilized for its intended purpose". So you must not have damaged goods,heaven help you if your child misused the vacumn • cleaner as a rockinghorse and damaged it. But what if if could be fixed. What if I put it g aside to fix someday. I'm not telling you to clean out your refrigerator TODAY because there is a good possibility that mold might grow there someday and since you have not used your refrigerator in the last five hours then it will be considered to be waste. I'm looking for some life and liberty and not oppression. Thirty years of trespass is enough. If it is a large item OF REFUSE, it is bulky and so it is called a BULKY WASTE, IF it does NOT fit into???A reusable or disposable container?. Waste can be bulky. Appliances and furniture are not in and of themselves waste. This brings me to • but the Federal Register 40 CFR Ch 1 (7-1-04 Edition) says • Section 261.2 Definition of Solid Waste. (a) (1)A solid waste is any discarded material that is not excluded by section 261.4(a)or that is not excluded by variance. (2)A discarded material is any material which is: (i)Abandoned, as explained in paragraph(b) of this section; or (ii)Recycled,as explained in paragraph(c)of this section; (iii)Considered inherently waste-like, as explained in paragraph(d)of this section; or (iv) A military munition (b)Materials are solid waste if they are abandoned by being: (1) Disposed of; or (2)Burned or incinerated; or • (3)Accumulated, stored, or treated(but not recycled) before or in lieu of being abandoned by being disposed of, burned,or incinerated. (c) Materials are solid wastes if they are recycled---or accumulated, stored,or treated before recycling—as specified in paragraphs(c) (1)through (4)of this section. I do not discard my materials or commodities upon the ground. I discard into garbage bags, and garbage cans, and sort aluminum,tin cans, scrap metal, glass, and plastic whatever little solid waste I might generate and mostly from my kitchen.This I take to the Landfill every month or two. I go to the Pensinsula Recycling Center every month or two. • • 3. In 1997, I argued that I do not collect waste nor do I collect discarded commodities and I do not store Waste. I wanted to argue the definition of DISCARDED COMMODITIES since there wasn't one and I was told to get rid of EVERYTHING. Randall Marx told me"you have no private property; it is subject to confiscation as you acquired it all illegally." I begged to talk to the Health Department and cooperate with instruction and I was told, "there is no need to talk; you just need to get rid of everything by the container load before we bring in the dump trucks,the backhoes, and the excavators!!!" The deadline day for Correction, I had a nervous breakdown, lost my voice the next day and then caused a near fatal car crash the next day,. leaving me without transportation and with a lawsuit and in a state of shock.. According to Webster, who alone defined discarded before the government made a stab at it, Discarded means: to throw out, abandon as to no value, useless, • DISCARDED IS A VERB. It a implies relationshipbetween a person and a thing. I define the relationship. If I have a notion to save what I have, I want it. It is of value. When I have something that I do not want; though I may value it highly and by that measure it has value, then I may give it to someone else who may even value it more highly or equally as well or maybe not as well but even so. So it is up to me when I throw away or discard. And when I do not give away, or sell or barter and decide not to save for a rainy day which I may do at any time of my entire life or give over to my children all of my REAOURCES, INCLUDING THE ones that"look" like-waste but are no less useful or of value to me or for them. I have labored my life's blood for all my property and I will not waste a broken rubberband or a scrap of paper. 4. I not only stand upon Websters Dictionary as the Foundation for what discard means • its 5. I am a religiously convicted Christian who believes the end times are upon us and that . every commodity will be priceless when scarcity prevails. I religiously save. It is a sin to discard. At the same time, I am an environmentalist that respects the fact that every bit of stuff produced is energy consuming and costs the environment. All product is sacred and should be saved and used as need be. I stand on my First Amendment right to my religious practice short of REAL HEALTH HAZARD. If you invade my privacy,have just cause to tread upon my inalienable right to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To waste is sinful. The current ordinance promotes wasting. It is sinful if not the least negligent in its construction. 6. CASE 1069: Janaury 14, 2008 The Notice of Violation is insufficient. It is inaccurate with the description of the property as there is no PEAT PLANK ROAD at all adjacent to my property. That is a Community Road EASEMENT and so alleged me and mine alongboth sides of the road is inaccurate. • evidence alluding to The easement off Ole Torkelson Rd. has been legally disputed for years and is questionable, as confirmed with ITT Rayonier Timber Company. AND THEN, once there three miles down a logging road, merely writing down what one sees as stand alone items is not evidence of solid waste or even how it is placed---that the stuff is all over, or unsorted, or mismatched, or piled or lopsided or stacked, does not designate waste. The Notice of Violation is deficient according to law. It lacks specificity and particularity and facts. It is conclusory without facts. There has never been one neighbot complaint in regards to 6267 Beaver Valley Rd., Chimacum, Washington. The complaints have been generated by administrative agents in • their referrals or otherwise. Molly Pierson filed a complaint based upon an illegal entry • with no life-threatening authority for her to stand on.without informed consent. There is no legitimate complaint. That complaint is over two years old.before it was revived out of my reference to repeated trespass upon me as per the Fire FreeforAll. The prosecution is over ten years old. The Statute of Limitations should be up on this conspiracy. \.7.Z_ - (i____ 7/2' s7\77_4/ 4.te___ ' ` -5 1- ,__ ,----,---7-ft .______ 0 F._ A lc 0 /......,//...„_. ‘71a .'''''r /0 !3-45 -2 A 77,4./ 150 t o t j 4 t6 /71 February 8, 2008 To: Jefferson County Public Health 615 Sheridan Street Port Townsend, Washington 98368 NOTICE OF APPEAL, Reference Case Number: 1 069 Dear Marjorie Boyd: I am in receipt of the NOTICE AND ORDER TO CORRECT VIOLATION that you sent out to me on January 14,2008 and that I received on January 28,2008.

I felt your letter sent out a month later asking permission to come on my property to gather evidence,namely to take pictures of my property,to enforce your alleged violations was MOST inappropriate as with double jeopardy. I was still waiting for an APPEAL DETERMINATION and so did not dignify your letter when the basis for the CASE in both instances is the same issue of whether or not I discard waste on my property.

This you will have to prove with irrefutable scientific evidence that I or my property are a source of SIGNIFICANT hazard as to infringe upon the supreme law of the land that Constitutes my inalienable right to my life, and my property and that justice will be greater served to sacrifice this basic protective tenant. I am mentally prepared to go to the Supreme Court to fight for my LIFE. I am one step closer to suing you all for harassment. If you continue to trespass and harass me with insanity and unreasonableness, I will gladly expose to the world the violations upon my person over the last thirty years,my files are as thick as yours,and they document ALL of YOUR VIOLATIONS. Ido norcollect solid waste. I was harassed. In this 2004 Notice of • Violation, my home was invaded without my informed consent on at least two occasions despite Notice of Demanded Consent for Entry. The issues and arguments are the same despite the invasion of my privacy. I do NOT collect solid waste. My Hoarlti • doors, windows,cabine ,„sports equip.:rent and exercise cycles,etc.as you referred to as illustrations of my noted solid waste violations begs for leinition. These items are my treasures wherever they may be. And certainly they are not along 1111 Peat Plank Road.That road does not come anywhere near my property. It is a short access road that runs East-West off of Beaver Valley Road. Your description is inaccurate in All regards and thereby insufficient. This leads me to suspect the"adjacent"property you have felt compelled to invade,upon my lack of response to your premature September 18,2007 Request Permission Letter.The administration is also tardy and lacks of due procedure in all timeliness(complaint from 2 yrs ago).At that time, I told Mark Nelson to get a search warrant.The probable cause was evidenced by illegal entry and thereby not admissible. And now,we are resurrecting a dead horse with the insulting letter of September 18,2007 and the follow-up of the Notice of Violation January 14,2006. Peat Plank Road does not border my property in any way! ! Your observations are obviously outside the bounds of my property if • whatY ou observed was"piled on both sides of Peat Plank Road(an East-West access road running thru the neighbors property at the bottom of the hill). The examples of alleged waste that you cite are not in and of themselves waste. Waste is a material that is defined by a relationship of a person to an object and includes the verb discard in order to define what waste is. I consciously do not discard my property upon my property as waste. My rotting materials are my business unless you PROVE they are of SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD backed by scientific data and evidence. Appearances are deceiving and should not be the basis for determining what is solid waste. As you said p2 NOV: " Examples of solid waste ... These were observed .... where they appear to be rotting. SO WHAT IF THEY ARE ROTTING99m I add biodegradables to my compost and soil enrichment when "wasting" precludes higher and best value recycling. I will not be subject to arbitrary and capricious judgments that lack adequate definition, standards,and measure. • i.„;,,t�j ## You have no valid claim or cause of action,you have no legally valid complaint or legally gathered probable cause. I have not violated any solid waste regulations. • • I do not accumulate solid waste. • I do not dispose of waste on my property. • I am not under the jurisdiction of the Solid Waste Regulations. HarrasAsiiiip epea edly non-stop,or persecuted, --1 Linda Sexton rwze. itv‘, 0)4 (Formatted:Right: 0',Bottom: 0' 1 I ft 41 6267 Beaver Valley Rd. Chimacum,WA Case 1069 LINDA SEXTON,Property Owner Deleted:s 1 Fehr jary 7,2006 Morris Wiseman,a tenant in my Cottage,had a stovepipe fire.Upon seeing the fire when the stovepipe separated an inch, he called the FireDept.And then put the fire out with his fire extinguisher.The Fire • Dept pulled the stovepipe apart 1 hour later: Building Official,Fred Sloda,Building Inspector,Jim Coyne and Civil Code Enforcement Coordinator,Molly Pearson came out to Condemn my Cottage and Evict my tenant based upon information they received from the Fire Dept or AC Aumock,Fire Code Offcial,that reported extensive fire damage rendering the building unfit for human habitation!!???? They told him he couldn't put the stovepipe back without a licensed installer.He said he had portable electric heat.They permitted him to stay. February 8,2006,Molly Pearson,Dept of Community Development, FILES A COMPLAINT WITH THE HEALTH DEPT."copious amounts of improperly stored,discarded consumer goods.",her usual rant. February 8-12 2006 I tried calling the Fire Chief,Mingue for a full week to talk to him about WHAT had occurred and been communicated to whom.I called the office phones and cell phone.No return call. I tried calling the Building Department,noone returned my calls.The Friday thereafter,I finally contacted by phone Fred Sloda and asked him about locating a Chimney Installer.He referred me to the phone book.I called from Pt. Angeles to Port Orchard and could not find a Certified Stove Installer but a Chimney Sweep who reported that the Chimney Cleaning Logs are hazardous and most likely in this instance caused the fire.This has since been • confirmed by Chuck Boggs,fire chief as a likely cause as he explained the chemical makeup of a CleanOut Log. February 8,2006 Fred Sloda,Building Department Official, writes me a letter BUT does NOT mail it out for two weeks. Condemn first,go fishing,and then do your homework.The cottage is"GRANDFATHERED"from 1973 with original stove.and sceptic approved with licensed electrical. I have a right to clean my stovepipe as I have always done for the last 36 years.Especially since the Building Department failed to respond to my question as to what they wanted.And they did nothing. February 17 2006 Department of Health, Response to CDC Complaint,Mark Nelson and Jasmine Fry drive to "No Trepassing"sign and do"not proceed"to investigate. • 11 February 23,2006 Received Letter demanding a Certified Stove Company install the chimney pipe.I write back for clarification since there is no such thing as a Certified Stove Company....people are licensed not retail stove outlets!!! I received no response. • March 2,2006 Mark Nelson telephoned and left a message.March 9,2006 called and left message. Mar h 10 2006 I called Mark Nelson and left a message.He returned my call and left message Formatted:Indent:Left: -I",First ' ,Mat h 13,2006 1 told Mark Nelson that the site visit on February 8,2006,was made illegally without my being t L line' o.s^ 1 Deleted:1 informed and without my consent.Molly Pearson,Fred Sloda,&Jim Coyne failed to contact me.There was no legal entry to further Molly's continued harassment.or any legal basis upon which to file a complaint with the Department of Health.I ended with the need for him to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause and lawful entry.This last point I could not find in his case notes,logging the phone call,but rather a description of my emotion.There was NO INFORMED CONSENT.See Notice personally handed to DCD Al Scalf,Molly Pearson and Tony Hernandez at a meeting in reference to a false allegation of violation of solid waste handling,July 27,2004.For which,I was determined NOT to be in violation.The other false allegations of transient rentals,boundary line violations,and electrical hazard were dismissed as well.All not without,expedited voluntary notice to an Involuntary Order based on an illegal site inspection and house entry without permission by Molly Pearson without my knowledge and with my express message by telephone that I would be out of state for the following week but we could meet upon my return. Furthermore,As per East Jefferson Fire Rescue,Standard Operating Guidline,Number:A02-01,Incident Notification and Follow-up with Other Agencies,POLICY:"in the event of an incident to notify the owners of the • affecdted property of the details of the incident. Jefferson County Fire Protection District No 1 failed to NOTIFY PROPERTY OWNER on ALL Counts as per 2.0 Time of Notification,2.1 1st contect with the property owners shall be made withn 72 hours of the incident time. 2.2 Notification to property owners of the final report shall be made within 72 hours of completion of the investigation. 3.0 Type of Notification:3.1 If first contact by telephone or other electronic means,follow up correspondence shall be mailed by registered-return receipt requested mail. 3.2 Notification of the final repor shall be made in writing by registered-return receipt requested mail.4.0 Any correspondence to other agencies regarding the incident shall be forwarded to the owners by registered-return receipt requested mail. I received no Notification of the incident or of any report or other agency contact, 1 received no call back from the Building Department.The Fire Department,Chief Mingue,returned a call weeks • r •r.Two weeks later I received a mis.uided letter from Fred Sloda instrue m. me to iocaac o -- om.an I could not.I then wrote to Fred Sloda seekin. clarification.I did not receive a re i l . here was No real substantial probable cause for AC Aumock to condemn the cottage as non-certified and the wood stove non-certified and call in the Building Department for an inspection thereafter with an immediate site visit and purpose to condemn and evict my tenant!!! The next day I was forwarded by way of complaint from the CDC referencing my personal property at my 6267 Beaver Valley Rd.property.I became case 1 069 on February 8,2006. February 17,2006,the Department of Health investigated.See chronology above. When I referenced the FIRE INCIDENT at my APPEAL-8-15-07 as another illustration of the SAME ISSUES--- ILLEGAL ENTRY and SOLID WASTE VIOLATIONS,this case was suddenly RE-OPENED 2 years later!This is not within a reasonable amount of time to resolve YOUR concern.And in the interim you managed to come twice upon the property to respond to a complaint,rather,a personal vendetta between employer and the employee,my tenant.This was investigated by Marjorie Boyd who failed to look into MY FILE!---certainly she could find the"Moby Dick for Enforcement in Jefferson County",as David Alvarez,prosecuting attorney would put it....or the"tough nut"as Molly Pearson slandered to the Leader. My Notice of Informed Consent(7-27-04)was not noted and/or was not found in the file. SEPTEMBER 18,2007,I RECEIVED request from Marjorie Boyd to Close case 1069 with investigation.I did •PIYtO this unethical letter—out of undue process. I was awaiting determination of my Appeal on the very same ent isprivyto the determination well in advance of the defendant's being informed. issue. Apparently The Health Departm I was told the determination would take a couple weeks if not several. OCTOBER 17,2007 I received notification that the Notice of Violation was voided based on inadmissible evidence gained by illegal entry. JANUARY 14,2008,I WAS CITED Once AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE based on Complaint/Case 1069. FEBRUARY 1,2008,Request Records January 2004-thio current date-2008.JCPH—as per RCW 42.56.520.from the Dept.of Community Development and the Dept.of Health. • :_`'' , There was no record of the FIRE INCIDENT as communicated to the DCD,Building Department or Code Compliance.I could not locate the letter Fred Sloth sent me or my response to his letter regarding my stove chimney.Or contact from the Fire Code Official AC Aumock to the Fire Marshall and Building Department. FEBRUARY 13,2008 Requested full file from the Health Dept., for 6267 Beaver Valley Rd,Chimacum • from January 1997 thru Decembr 2003.Received no response. FEBRUARY 26,2008 Requested from the Building Dept.Records of Fire Inspection and communications between Fire Official and DCD,Building Dept and Health Dept. MARCH 5,2008 Request reply:"no additional records pertaining to the complaint filed February 8,2006". Thru all of this I tried to figure out what reasonable and substantial cause originated from a chimney fire that enabled the DCD to barnstorm my property and threaten the tenant with immediate eviction that subjected me to a Health Department complaint and investigation and further trespass and untimely Notice of Violation over two years later! When Chief Boggs could not answer my questions better than condemnation is based on"feelings", then he requested Ted Krysinshi who drummed up a new response"The fire did cause some damage to the interior roof sheeting. The chimney and wood stove did not appear to be installed to building code regulations as seen in buildings that had approved wood stoves." The stove pipe was not damaged and neither was the roof nor any other part..The Burn Log Residue was quickly and easily extinguished. What were the appearances??Was my cottage too rustic?Did it look illegal?Was it ever considered as"grandfathered"or when after due diligence it was known the issue was not responded to(my last inquiry was not responded to). • I was falsely accused of being a Solid Waste Handling Facility in 1997 and appealed this absurd arbitrary and capricious decision despite the fact that I was never presented with the photos that were illegally taken at the Hearing. The minutes absurdly and falsely recorded that I admitted I was a solid waste handler.The whole violation of due administrative procedure and shut down of communication and cooperation and imminent threat with"total confiscation of all property not under cover with the backhoes,dump trucks,and excavators"was cruel and unusual and felt as persecution.The Injunction case was not followed thru on by the prosecution.It was dismissed by the Clerk of Court. Molly Pearson was interested as a Curbside Reycler Educator with the Environmental Health Dept at the time. .0) • In February 2004 when Molly graduated to Civil Code Compliance Officer,she went after the"tough nut" 1 sha reported me as to the Leader,and went on a fishing expedition with her Opening Line upon her first contact with me by phone with"Your building is located too close to the boundary line".She went on to TELLING me my s in my yard were waste and that I HAD to take them to the Landfill and discard them///or otherwise WASTE t m. Molly took up where she left off and tried to cite me with violation of solid waste regulations via the citation of a Rural Residential Storage Ordinance. I had no clue as to the nature of the violation as there was no citation of the Ordinance—other than its Title,and no description as to how I was in violation. I called a meeting with Al Scalf, and it was determined that I was not in violation of the Rural Residential Storage Ordinance. I also was exonerated from violation of the Tansient Rental Ordinance,and the other harassments of electrical violations alluding to scabbed electrical via an extension cord for my weedeater from an outbuilding and the storage building- boundary line issue was moot. I produced a year of month-to-month rental agreements accounting for every room, all 53000 of improved 200 amp electrical service and wiring from Fredrickson Electric,and the harassment stopped. It is my contention that Molly has been out to get me since 1997,and has trepased upon me in more than one way in 2004 and again ignored my warning to get my informed consent when she again directed herself to 6267 Beaver Valley Road,with the Building Department without my knowledge or consent,and then filed her complaint with the Dept of Health.The subsequent investigation died February 13,2004. It was resurrected upon my testimony at the August 15,2007 Appeal of NOV-June 25,2007(precedent upon illegal entry as well).referencing the Complaint as unlawfully made,made upon illegal entry. As per my recent public records request,The Department of Health is now accessing my property thru adjacent properties of which there are at least three other land owners if not more. The Rayonier Company has a 2 plus mile logging road that proceeds past Ole Torkelson county road.Rayonier knows for certain that at least two other property owners are questionably involved in a long-time legal case over whose property is whose and whose road is whose. Marjorie Boyd obtained permission from ITT Rayonier to use their road,BUT not permission to use the portions of the road crossing over the other landowners property,as was expressing stated by Justin Knoebel, Manager. Marjorie obtained permission from the Lambertons. Marjorie has not obtained all permission necessary. This all gives me the Creeps.I feel stalked.The photos sent me of the Site Investigation carried out in Sept and Oct and recently are only photos of some of my property.The photos show property dumped by someone else at least a year ago along the logging road and where my access road joins in.There has been other dumping along • r .r t j, that road over the last 30 years and I have done my best to keep it cleaned up by investigating and reporting to the sheriff department illegal dumping. This case is based on illegal entry by a governmental agency. I have received absolutely no File Disclosure of any contact whatsoever between the Fire Dept and the CDC. • I have lived at my property since 1972 upon purchase. I have rented since 1973.None of my adjoining neighbors have ever filed a complaint in regards to solid waste issues,hazardous waste,rodent infestation,or litter, One neighbor bought in 1973,one in the eighties.One bought in the pre-1940's.The other two are owners since the 90's. I have had a steady stream of renters from all walks of life and not one has ever complained about the conditions of my house or personal property,or land.SEE ALL the complaints for Solid Waste for 6267 Beaver Valley Road are generated by a governmental agency. There is no basis in FACT.I do not litter my property with waste.1 do not discard waste upon my property. The Solid Waste Regulations apply to me as far as to anyone else.I take my solid waste—those materials I choose To WASTE and I then DISCARD them to the Jefferson Recycling Center and the Jefferson County Landfill. See Receipts. I decide when something is no longer useful to me or not worth keeping..I decide the value of a material to me. I am no longer actively collecting materials since Habitat for Humanity and the Goodwill and other Services are being provided for recycling. I am 60 years old and tired and retired of that labor of saving materials from the wastestream.I seek only to take care of what I have accumulated and would like to focus my attention on cleaning up my property,not cleaning out. I have no interest in subjecting myself any further to the ignorances,incompetentcies,prejudices and discriminations,and disrespect for policy and procedures, I been harassed and persecuted for twenty-five years. You need a real complaint of substance from the PUBLIC, rather than a web of conspiracy. You need distinction,clarity,and specificity of real public health hazard. • Board of Health Media Report • JuCy 17, 2008 • Jefferson County Public Health June/July 2008 NEWS ARTICLES 1.

Hepatitis B and C,the two most serious'forms of the viral • infection,infect about 143,000 Washington residents each year. Yet more than half the hepatitis C cases and more than a third of hepatitis B cases are not reported to health officials.Often the virus - often presents no symptoms until it reaches an advanced Stage. As part of a statewide effort, free tests and vaccines— including for hepatitis A—are being offered to residents of Clallam and Jefferson counties. , Testing and vaccines are available in Port Townsend at the Jefferson County Health Department, 615 Sheridan St.; and in Port Angeles at the Clallam County Department of 1111Health and Human Services, 223 E.Fourth St.,Suite 14. Hepatitis C is spread through infected blood or drug injection. Hepatitis B is spread through sexual intercourse or through infected blood. Both C and B types can cause cirrhosis of the liver and liver failure. Hepatitis A is spread mainly through eating food contami- nated with feces from an infected person. When caught early enough, hepatitis can be treated and the damage limited.

The decision is pend- ing another editing of the rules. The Board of Health heard comment on the system at a public hear- ing on Tuesday. Developed by a vol- unteer work group, the regulations satisfy a state mandate to regu- late septic systems. They also provide that homeowners can train to inspect their own systems. • The rules don't address, one problem the state created: Mandatory inspections of new, pump-driven systems once every year.

School health centers bring services to students By DAN CATCHPOLE Associated Press Writer The exam room at Cleveland High School's Teen Health Center has the basics: a blood pressure monitor and various scopes hang on the wall. Paper covers the exam table. But its equipment also reflects the realities of adolescent health problems. One cupboard holds pap smear kits, another has a birth control teaching kit. In the lab room there's acne medication, a centrifuge and a tank of liquid nitrogen for freezing warts. The clinic is one of hundreds that have opened in schools around the country in the last 20 years to treat teenagers, the age group least likely to get preventive health care. That neglect can let small problems grow into big problems, leading to missed classes and other problems. Started in the mid-1970s, there were about 120 clinics in the country by 1988, when King County's Health Department, which runs the one at Cleveland, opened Washington state's first clinic. 4" 2005, over 1,700 clinics served around 1.7 million students with physical examinations, immunizations, lab testing, edications, dental care, health education and other services, according to the National Association of School-Based Health Centers, which had its national convention in Los Angeles last week. But even in 2005, 18 percent of adolescent males and almost 15 percent of adolescent females didn't receive any health care services, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At Cleveland-which serves one of Seattle's poorest areas -almost half of the students used the clinic last year. Mental, reproductive and general health each make up about one-third of the services students receive. LaQuaveous Benning-Dillon, a 16-year-old sophomore, uses the clinic for a variety of services, sometimes dropping by just to say'hello.' The clinic's nurse practitioner, Pat Tilden, "is always looking after me -telling me to get some new glasses," Benning- Dillon said. He broke his last pair, which he got through the clinic. On their own, adolescents don't use health care very effectively. "If it isn't burning, itching, stinging, etc., they're probably not going to get on those two buses to see their doctor-if they have one,"said T.J. Cosgrove, a board member of the national organization, who manages several Seattle-area school- based clinics. Adolescents receiving services outside of school are not necessarily getting comprehensive care, said Dr. Leslie Walker, chief of adolescent medicine at Children's Hospital in Seattle. They need preventive care, including health education and mental health services, and must be assured confidentiality, Walker said. 'fit wasn't confidential, I wouldn't be going,"said Dion Abdullah, 18. Abdullah and his girlfriend, Nahstassia Botts, 19, use leveland's clinic for birth control services. Many of Cleveland's students have had only irregular care and don't have adequate health habits or knowledge. "It's amazing to me the number of students who come in with birth control pills and no idea how to use them,"Tilden said. Because many lifelong health habits are formed during adolescence, the clinic targets long-term unhealthy behavior such • as smoking and obesity. Many students using Cleveland's clinic don't have a doctor in the community or cannot get to one during the day, said Tilden. No direct link has been established between health centers and improved academic performance, according to the national assembly. But Cleveland's principal, Wayne Floyd, has no doubt that the school's clinic improves grades. "If they're hungry or have an ailment they can't focus in class or don't come to class," Floyd said. Several studies indicate that access to clinics reduces emergency room visits and hospitalization for students, according to the national organization. But money is a constant struggle. Clinics get money mostly from state and local government, but also from private grants, businesses and managed care reimbursements. Reimbursement rates are generally low, and many services offered by clinics aren't reimbursed at all. In the'90s, Connecticut required all Medicaid managed care companies to reimburse clinics for services. Most commercial providers don't recognize the clinics as health care providers, according to Joanne Eaccarino, president of the Connecticut Association of School-Based Health Centers. 'What they'll say is that we're not open 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, but to our knowledge neither is anyone else, even an emergency room," Eaccarino said. States have taken a more active role in paying for and promoting school-based health centers over the past decade. Washington state announced plans this year to fund four clinics for at least five years. • Last year, California's Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed 500 new school clinics. The plan, however, was killed by budget problems. In 2007, Congress authorized - but didn't allocate-$50 million in federal grants for clinics for 2009-2012. Moving into health care's mainstream means school-based health centers will have to clarify what their purpose is and likely standardize which services they offer, said Julia Graham Lear, director of the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools at George Washington University. Discussions following Schwarzenegger's proposal revealed disagreements among clinic advocates, such as what level of dental care should be provided, said Serena Clayton, CEO of the Calif. School Health Centers Association. Copyright©2008 The Seattle Times Company • • RE:Notice of Appeal to the Jefferson County Board of Health Linda Sexton hereby requests an Appeal of her Denial of Appeal made to Dr.Locke, Health Officer at the Administrative Hearing held March 13, 2008. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1). "Mr. Wiseman experienced a stovepipe fire in his dwelling on Peat Plank Road..." Mr. Wiseman was a tenant. The dwelling belongs to Linda Sexton.None of Linda Sexton's property in on Peat Plank Rd. 2). "Inspection revealed a wood stove in apparent violation of building codes.."I question APPARENT violations, I was never told of any nor the tenant. The International Fire Code, Chapter 1, ADMINISTRATION, Section 102 APPLICABILITY 102.1 Construction and design provisions. The construction and design provisions of this code shall apply to: 1. Structures, facilities and conditions arising after the adoption of this code. • 4. Existing structures, facilities and conditions which, in the opinion of the code official, constitute a distinct hazard to life or property. There was no DISTINCT hazard to life or property. There was Duty Chief, Ted Krysinski's feelings. He made NOTES,February 28, 2008, for Acting Chief Boggs request for detail, as I had requested the facts and Public Disclosure of all information in regards this incident "The chimney and wood stove did not appear to be installed to building code regulations as seen in buildings that had approved wood stoves"This is the explanation that was offered referencing the FIRE REPORT: I contacted AC Aumock reference the fire marshall issue of a non-certified wood stove in a non-certified residential unit. AC Aumock advised me to condem the wood stove .." This condemnation was based on appearances. The cottage was built in 1972. with the original stove. . It is grandfathered and not subject to the 1992 Wood Stove Certification. I have cleaned and maintained the stovepipe for 35 years without fail; it was the Burn-Out Logs that left ignitable residue. The pipe separated an inch or two. It needed to be simply reconnected and a screw added • perhaps. P1 Tom Aumock should have witnessed personally before he condemned. I never was able • to make contact with Tom Aumock,my calls were not returned. 3. An investigation was made without my knowledge or consent or informed consent. No phone call and I have a home phone, a cell phone, e-mail, and answering machine and voice mail. There was no damage to anything, let alone the piping. That is poor advise to replace pipe that is safely reusable. 4. "No response was received."I was in the middle of an APPEAL on the same issues held August 15, 2007. I received the determination that the NOV issued was VOID around the first week of October. I made reference to the Fire Incident as another example of illegal entry,whereupon CASE 1069 originated.by Molly Pierson, Civil Code Compliance Officer. It was re-pursued the day after the AUGUST hearing, while I was kept in the dark for nearly two months! 5. On October 16, 2007 permission from "a nearby parcel". The access road is a 2 and a half logging road that is accessed from another Center Valley Rd. My property is in Beaver Valley. The access parcels are not nearby. • I feel stalked with such far out measures and my reputation with my neighbors has been degraded. 6. None of my property is discarded. I have my property all over in disarray, however. My property does not border or come close to Peat Plank Road. That road is a Community Road. My property is exposed to the weather. Some of my property is covered with leaves. I disagree that the complaint generated from an illegal entry is not relevant to the NOCV appeal. It is the crux of the matter to begin with. It was not a legal building inspection. On February 7, 2008, a tenant,Morris Wiseman,noticed a wood stove chimney fire, called the fire department, got the fire extinguisher and put the fire out. The Fire Dept, under the direction of T. Krysinki from a different District and not contracted under the Chimacum Fire District,had the stove pipe dismantled, and made a call to Fire Code • P2 frs Official Tom Aumock, who based on the feelings of T. Krysinki that it didn't look like • other approved wood stoves in other buildings he had seen, condemned the stove and the cottage. A phone call was made to the Department of Community Development. An hour or two later,Molly Pierson, Code Complaince Officer, Fred Sloda, Building Department Official, and Jim Coyne, Building Inspector came out to condemn the cottage and evict my tenant. He was offered assistance for emergency housing with the Red Cross. He proffered he didn't need to use the wood stove, he had electric heaters. They left. He reported the incident to me. I tired to contact the Fire Department and the Building Department about the incident repeatedly with no response for two weeks. I then received a letter instructing me to hire a Certified Stove Company to reinstall. After intense investigation, I discerned there is no such thing, and when I replied as to such with question, I never received a reply. After repeated phone calls to the office and cell • phone of the Fire Chief and three weeks later, I was told what occurred. A fire occurred and it was referred to the DCD. There was no life threatening emergency,there was someones prejudical judgment on the looks of my cottage and stove. The Department of Community Development and the Building Department arrived reporting they had heard there was such extensive damage that the building was not unfit for human habitation. There was not the slightest damage. There was no report of any damage of such in the Fire District Report that was not reviewed and finalized until three months later. If this was a life-threatening event then I should have been informed of such immediately by the Fire Department. The Fire Code Official should have made an official visit prior to condemnation. I should have been informed of a referral to the Department of • Community Development and the Building Department. I should have gotten a telephone f3 call from the DCD and/or the Building Department informing me of the fire event and of . the facts and their concerns,PRIOR to there coming onto my property without my informed consent. In July 2004, I gave notice to the Board of Commissioners,the Board of Health,the Prosecuting Attorney,the Department of Community Development,the Building Department, and the Sheriff Office that demanded informed consent prior to entering my property. I personally handed the NOTICE that I had mailed out the week earlier,to Al Scalf, DCD Director to whom I appealed an NOV issued by Molly Pierson. I was determined NOT to be in violation of the Rural Residential Storage Ordinance. Yet he turned around the following week and entered my house without my INFORMED consent.A couple of weeks earlier,Molly Pierson did the same in the follow-up to her NOV and then a week later again, with Tony Hernandez drove into my yard commanding me most • uncivilly to take all my stuff to the dump. The following week at the Hearing, I was determined not to be in violation. Yet,my constitutional rights to privacy were trampled on. On February 8, 2007,the day after the DCD and Building Department illegal-uninformed consent,a complaint was filed with the Department of Health for waste violations;Molly Pierson was probably the complainant. Molly Pierson has had a personal agenda directed against me since 1997, when she was a curbside recycling educator with the Environmental Health Dept. Then, I appealed, with counsel, an NOV for being falsely accused of being a Solid Waste Handling Facility. This was absurb!!! The Prosecution complained of a public nuisance but left it go after complaining and my hiring new Counsel, Crad Verser to Answer Complaint. • The DCD complaint was followed up upon by Mark Nelson. In our telephone conversation, I told him he would have to get a search warrant to come onto the property p • and that he would have to have legal probable cause. An illegal entry voids the illegal activity engaged in, including observations. It was and is now two years after that Fire Incident and the Health Department conversation. Meanwhile, I am cited with another NOV June 2007, I appealed based on illegal entry without informed consent. The NOV was voided. Meanwhile, I have a NOTICE OF INFORMED CONSENT ON FILE TO Jefferson County Departments, and all named and unnamed Directors, and All Employees. I particularly named Molly Pierson and Tony Hernandez as they were the immediate violators. The Department of Health took two months to deliver the Violation Voided due to illegal entry. Meanwhile the day after the August 15, 2007 hearing, the Health Department is acquiring several property owners permission to enter upon a 2 and a half mile logging • road to view the corner of my property to take pictures as evidence that I am in violation of waste regulations. I was left in the dark while the Department of Health with their heads up proceeded on with their investigation to prepare with citing me again with an NOV from which I appealed to Dr. Locke. UNFAIR. The current PHOTOS thought to be evidence are only that. Pictures of property on my property. Back to the issue of Entry. Back to the Fire Department. T. Kryskinki contacted Aumock to reference the fire marshall issue of a"non-certified wood stove"in a non- certified residential unit." They condemned the wood stove. My cottage is grandfathered and with the original stove. The Fire Department failed to follow their Standard Operating Guidelines. Their • Policy in regards to Incident Notification and Follow-up with Other Agencies directs them to: 2.0 Time of Notification: 2.1 1st contact with the property owner shall be made within 72 hours of the incident time. 2.2 Notification to property owner of the • final report shall be ade within 72 hours of completion of the investigation. 3.Type of Notifications: 3.1 If lstr contact is made by phone, follow up correspondence shall be mailed to the property owner by registered-return receipt requested mail. 3.2 Notification of the final report shall be in writing by registered return receipt requested mail. 4.0 Any correspondence to other agencies regarding the incident shall be forwarded to the owner by registered-return receipt requested mail. I never was contacted within 72 hours nor able to talk to the Fire Chief,Mingue for several weeks. I never received ANY report and no notification of the DCD referral. I never was contacted by the DCD in regards to this incident prior to their arrival and I was never informed of their site visit until I received a letter dated February 7,2008, fire day,but not sent for two to three weeks later. The DCD failed to do their homework to see that I had a grandfathered • building and did not fall under their jurisdiction of stove certification,hence the delay in their communication and hence their"Certified Stove Company"response. People get certified, not stores.They failed to respond to my return letter seeking clarification. I have since tried thru repeated requests for Public Disclosure to document the trail of a "life threatening"issue that might transfer some 911 emergency authority to someone else and even if their was sound reason to do so,that does not negate the respect of DUE NOTICE and then DUE informed consent...and then if not informed consent,then the obtaining of a search warrant based on sound probable cause. Morris Wiseman witnessed at the March 13,2008 appeal that there was no damage to anything and that noone discussed the matter with him as to the cause of the first. The fire was caused by the Clean-Out Logs purchased at a Hardware Store that are known to cause chimney fires • as informed and confirmed by a Certified Chimney Sweep and Acting Chief Chuck Boggs. p I cannot find any reference whatsoever in the communications from the Fire • Department or Fire Code Official, Tom Aumock, to the DCD or any internal communications directing an EMERGENCY, LIFE THREATENING response within the DCD and to the Building Department Personnel. I can find no reference of the Letter sent to me from Fred Sloda, Building Official or my communication in return, or ANY REFERENCE whatsoever—any REPORT from that visit made by anybody, any e-mail, case log. The only thing I know, is that a Complaint was filed by the DCD, the day after the fire, to the Health Dept. They opened CASE 1069, initiated an investigation and after initial contact by phone conversation dropped the case short of a search warrant; it, curiously enough never mentioned in the case log. Rather, he documented my feelings of rape, abuse,persecution And then May, 2007 the Health Department investigates a complaint upon my property, • AGAIN,without getting my informed consent or a search warrant!!! It happened in 1997, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008 has added an element of STALKING. Disturbing the peace and quiet of my neighbors and my relationship with them has prejudiced me further and my reputation. I have been exposed over and over to the local press,refered to in the local newspaper"as a tough nut to crack", and by the prosecution"as the Moby Dick" for Jefferson County Enforcement Officers to the Health Department. My last appeal in 1997 before the Health Officer was denied and my Appeal to the Board of Health was denied amidst their confusion and undetermination as to whether I was a Solid Waste Handling Facility or a Recycling Facility or Center. It was even recorded in the MINUTES TRANSCRPT, at this UNDUE lynch mob, without being • shown the ALLEGED evidence,that I admitted collecting solid waste!!! It is to this very fact that I am appealing FROM. p1 2. The Solid Waste Regulations apply to me as they do to anyone else. I, • however, cannot continue to be tortured by your misapplication of the Ordinance. At issue here, as I have presented to the Board of Health when drafting of the latest Ordinance regarding Solid Waste Regulations and seeking Public Comment my views on the subject and the distinction between cosmetics and real and distinct health hazard, I is what is solid waste. When we started this discussion`when I was accused of having a problem,around 1985,there was a Document that defined Solid Waste as Kitchen and animal waste primarily. Then in 1988,the word discarded commodities was added after kitchen waste. And in that 100 page document with 100 Definitions,you would think that the definition of SOLID WASTE would be most extensive. AND that the modifiers used to define what solid waste is,would also be defined as the MOST important definition. But no,DISCARDED COMMODITIES was thrown into the wastebasket with • NO DEFINITION! Then in the 1990's the word got defined and honed down to the ludricrous definition: discarded commodities PRODUCTS OR ITEMS THAT BECAUSE OF DAMAGE,MISUSE, WEAR, OR NEGLECT,ARE NO LONGER BEING UTILIZED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE" AND BULKY WASTE (Large items of refuse, such as appliances(white, oods), furniture, junk vehicles, and other oversize wastes which would typically not fit into reusuable or disposable containers). And so unless it is brand new, it is subject to violation, search and seizure and WASTING. Any"wear"is evidence of WASTE, or even neglect,whatever that is. AND, recycling is forbidden. If it is no longer being utilized for its intended purpose". So you must not have damaged goods, heaven help you if your child misused the vacumn . cleaner as a rocking horse and damaged it. But what if if could be fixed. What if I put it aside to fix someday. I'm not telling you to clean out your refrigerator TODAY because P there is a good possibility that mold might grow there someday and since you have not • used your refrigerator in the last five hours then it will be considered to be waste. I'm looking for some life and liberty and not oppression. Thirty years of trespass is enough. If it is a large item OF REFUSE, it is bulky and so it is called a BULKY WASTE, IF it does NOT fit into???A reusable or disposable container?. Waste can be bulky. Appliances and furniture are not in and of themselves waste. This brings me to 3. In 1997, I argued that I do not collect waste nor do I collect discarded commodities and I do not store Waste. I wanted to argue the definition of DISCARDED COMMODITIES since there wasn't one and I was told to get rid of EVERYTHING. Randall Marx told me "you have no private property; it is subject to confiscation as you 4111 acquired it all illegally." I begged to talk to the Health Department and cooperate with instruction and I was told, " there is no need to talk; you just need to get rid of everything by the container load before we bring in the dump trucks,the backhoes, and the excavators!!!" The deadline day for Correction, I had a nervous breakdown, lost my voice the next day and then caused a near fatal car crash the next day,. leaving me without transportation and with a lawsuit and in a state of shock.. According to Webster, who alone defined discarded before the government made a stab at it,Discarded means: to throw out, abandon as to no value, useless. DISCARDED IS A VERB. It implies a relationship between a person and a thing. I define the relationship. If I have a notion to save what I have, I want it. It is of value. When I have something that I do not want; though I may value it highly and by that • measure it has value,then I may give it to someone else who may even value it more highly or equally as well or maybe not as well but even so. So it is up to me when I F' I ti throw away or discard. And when I do not give away,or sell or barter and decide not to • save for a rainy day which I may do at any time of my entire life or give over to my children all of my REAOURCES, INCLUDING THE ones that"look"like-waste but are no less useful or of value to me or for them. I have labored my life's blood for all my property and I will not waste a broken rubberband or a scrap of paper. 4. I not only stand upon Websters Dictionary as the Foundation for what discard means but the Federal Register 40 CFR Ch 1 (7-1-04 Edition) says Section 261.2 Definition of Solid Waste. (a) (1)A solid waste is any discarded material that is not excluded by section 261.4(a)or that is not excluded by variance. (2)A discarded material is any material which is: (i)Abandoned, as explained in paragraph(b)of this section; or • (ii)Recycled, as explained in paragraph(c) of this section; (iii) Considered inherently waste-like, as explained in paragraph(d)of this section; or (iv) A military munition (b)Materials are solid waste if they are abandoned by being: (1)Disposed of; or (2)Burned or incinerated; or (3)Accumulated, stored, or treated(but not recycled) before or in lieu of being abandoned by being disposed of,burned,or incinerated. (c)Materials are solid wastes if they are recycled---or accumulated, stored, or treated before recycling—as specified in paragraphs (c) (1)through (4)of this section. • I do not discard my materials or commodities upon the ground. I discard into garbage bags, and garbage cans, and sort aluminum,tin cans, scrap metal, glass, and e /V f plastic whatever little solid waste I might generate and mostly from my kitchen.This I • take to the Landfill every month or two. I go to the Pensinsula Recycling Center every month or two. 5. I am a religiously convicted Christian who believes the end times are upon us and that every commodity will be priceless when scarcity prevails. I religiously save. It is a sin to discard. At the same time, I am an environmentalist that respects the fact that every bit of stuff produced is energy consuming and costs the environment. All product is sacred and should be saved and used as need be. I stand on my First Amendment right to my religious practice short of REAL HEALTH HAZARD. If you invade my privacy, have just cause to tread upon my inalienable right to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To waste is sinful. The current ordinance promotes wasting. It is sinful if not the least negligent in its construction. • 6. CASE 1069: Janaury 14,2008 The Notice of Violation is insufficient. It is inaccurate with the description of the property as there is no PEAT PLANK ROAD at all adjacent to my property. That is a Community Road EASEMENT and so alleged evidence alluding to me and mine along both sides of the road is inaccurate. The easement off Ole Torkelson Rd. has been legally disputed for years and is questionable, as confirmed with ITT Rayonier Timber Company. AND THEN,once there three miles down a logging road, merely writing down what one sees as stand alone items is not evidence of solid waste or even how it is placed---that the stuff is all over, or unsorted, or mismatched, or piled or lopsided or stacked, does not designate waste. The Notice of Violation is deficient according to law. It lacks specificity and • particularity and facts. It is conclusory without facts. p d 1 There has never been one neighbot complaint in regards to 6267 Beaver Valley Rd., • Chimacum, Washington. The complaints have been generated by administrative agents in their referrals or otherwise. Molly Pierson filed a complaint based upon an illegal entry with no life-threatening authority for her to stand on.without informed consent. There is no legitimate complaint. That complaint is over two years old.before it was revived out of my reference to repeated trespass upon me as per the Fire FreeforAll. The prosecution is over ten years old. The Statute of Limitations should be up on this conspiracy. • r P`l7.J • Septic Monitoring in Jefferson County 1983-2008 1983: WAC 248-96-046(4) required monitoring the performance of alternative septic systems. 1987: Jefferson County Health Department and the PUD entered into an agreement to have the PUD monitor alternative septic systems. 1990: RCW 54.16.310 formally allowed PUDs, as authorized by a county Board of Health, to perform operation and monitoring, including inspections of onsite sewage systems. It also allowed the PUD to charge the system owner for costs associated with the monitoring/maintenance of private onsite sewage systems. 1993: The Jefferson County Board of Health signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the PUD. This delegated official authorization to the PUD to perform operation and monitoring, including inspections, of onsite sewage systems. 1995: The revised State Onsite Sewage Code (WAC 246-272) was adopted, which required periodic monitoring of all onsite sewage systems by the year 2000. 1997: Jefferson County began the revision process of local onsite sewage code to update our 1977 ordinance and incorporate monitoring requirements. An advisory committee was formed early in 1998. Members included participants from local business, realtors, • homeowners, builders, sewage system designers and installers and the shellfish industry. 2000: The revised Jefferson County Septic Code (JCC 8.15) was adopted by the Board of Health after 6 public meetings in local communities. JCPH started implementing the expanded O&M program to ensure that all septic systems, including conventional systems, in Jefferson County began their required monitoring. Part of implementing O&M inspections includes a monitoring inspection at the time of sale or when applying for a building permit. 2004: The Board of Health passed the policy 04-01 to clarify which building permits require that a septic system have an O&M inspection. 2005: The revised State Onsite Sewage Code (WAC 246-272A) was adopted. New monitoring requirements became effective on July 1, 2007 and included the first state- mandated schedule for O&M inspections. This code required that gravity systems be monitored every three years, and all other systems be monitored annually. 2006: Jefferson County began the revision process of local onsite sewage code to update our 2000 ordinance and incorporate monitoring requirements. An advisory committee was formed early in 2007 to review the proposed changes and provide additional input. 2007: The revised Jefferson County Septic Code was adopted by the Board of Health • after 4 public meetings in local communities.
