EXHIBIT A
Independent Consultant Scope of Services
Project Title: HCRPIC Phase III
CONSULTANT: JEFFERSON COUNTY
Description of Services
The following Overview and Goals and Objectives sections are excerpted from HCCC's base grant
with DOH (N22515), executed April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2019.
OVERVIEW
The Hood Canal Regional Pollution Identification and Correction Program (HCRPIC) consists of
Jefferson, Kitsap, and Mason Counties, the Port Gamble S'Klallam and Skokomish Tribes,
working collaboratively to implement prioritized Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC)
work throughout Hood Canal to help reduce bacterial and nutrient loading to increase
harvestable shellfish acres in Puget Sound. The project will primarily address fecal pollution and
associated pathogens. As fecal pollution sources are corrected, less nutrients and organic
materials, associated with human and animal waste, will enter Hood Canal. That will result in
less oxygen demand to break down algae blooms resulting from excess nutrients and the
organic materials in waste. Hood Canal Regional PIC Program implementation will identify and
correct pathogen sources. The resulting water quality improvements will help achieve the Puget
Sound Partnership's Vital Sign recovery target to increase harvestable shellfish acreage.
This award is for implementation of Phase III of the HCRPIC program. Phase III incorporates new
aspects to the HCRPIC program to improve its effectiveness, the biggest of which is the addition
of freshwater quality monitoring to the suite of water quality information used to identify
pollution sources and pursue corrections. Phase III will enable the continued implementation of
HCRPIC activities until the end of the 2016 Action Agenda NTA period, March 2019. Phase III
includes: shoreline surveys in priority Hood Canal shoreline areas; pollution hotspot
investigation and correction; nutrient studies to further Phase II studies; updated GIS mapping
of onsite sewage systems (OSS) in Hood Canal; outreach and education to Hood Canal OSS
property owners and decision makers; and ambient stream water quality monitoring.
BACKGROUND:
There are eighteen shellfish growing areas in the Hood Canal Action Area. As of 2014, the Hood
Canal Action Area had 27,080 acres of approved growing areas, 72 acres with conditional
approval, and about 1,600 acres of prohibited or restricted growing area. Washington State
Department of Health (DOH) has identified several emergency closure zones, threatened areas,
and areas of concern based on marine water quality data. There are close to 30,000 onsite
sewage systems (OSS) in the project area, many in close proximity to waterbodies and
approximately one third of the systems are over 30 years old. PIC programs have been essential
to maintain and improve water quality and will continue to be vital for the health of Hood Canal
HCCC Contract Agreement—Exhibit A Page 12
and its communities. Phases I and II of the HCRPIC program developed and then implemented a
coordinated PIC monitoring plan with the goal to upgrade shellfish harvest areas and prevent
future downgrades in Hood Canal priority areas. Phase II priority shoreline areas were
determined by HCRPIC members using current water quality monitoring information to identify
the most important shoreline areas to survey. The prioritization of shoreline areas will be
updated annually as new data emerges. Phase II continues until March 31, 2017. Its outcomes
will inform the identification of future priority shoreline areas for Phase III and
recommendations for ongoing phases of the program.
