JEFFERSON COUNTY NOTICE TO PUBLIC
Current Jefferson County Geographic Information System (GIS) maps identify the presence of an
Environmentally sensitive area (ESA) such as stream, wetland, flood, landslide hazard area, erosion, aquifer
recharge area, fish and wildlife habitat, shoreline, etc,. lying within and/or adjacent to the revised parCels
encompassed by this Boundary Line Adjustment. Prior to any land disturbing activity or construction acitvity,
applicant/owner shall contact he Jefferson County Department of Community Development regarding
compliance for such ESA's. Approval of this Boundary Line Adjustment does not guarantee issuance of a
building permit within said parcel(s). Such determination is dependent on approvals of water, septic, bulk and
dimensional setbacks, and ESA requirements.
NOTICE: This permit does not excuse the proponent from complying with other local, state, and federal ordinances,
regulations, or statutes applicable to the proposed development.
Development pursuant to this permit shall be undertaken subject to the applicable development and performance
standards of the Jefferson County Unified Development Code.
If during excavation or development of the site an area of potential archaeological significance is uncovered, all
activity in the immediate area shall be halted, and the Administrator shall be notified at once.
The Federal Endangered Species Act rules to protect threatened Chinook and Summer-run Chum salmon became
effective on January 8, 2001. Bull trout have been listed as threatened since early 2000. Under the ESA, any
person may bring lawsuit against any individual or agency that "takes" listed species (defined as causing harm,
harassing, or damaging habitat for the listed spedes). In addition, the National Marine Fisheries Service can levy
penalties. All areas in Jefferson County are included as "critical habitat" for a listed species. Development of
property along any marine shoreline, freshwater shoreline, or ~oodplains could harm habitat if protective measures
are not taken. To minimize the potential to damage habitat, all property owners developing adjacent to marine
shoreline, freshwater shoreline, or floodplains are advised to do the following:
- Set back buildings, utilities and roads as far as possible from surface waters (streams, rivers, lakes, marine
waters), or at least 150 feet from the edge of the water
- All development activities should avoid unstable slopes, wetlands, and forested areas near surface waters
- Remove minimal vegetation for site development, especially large trees
- Allow trees that have fallen into surface waters to remain there
- Infiltrate stormwater from buildings and driveways onsite through drywells rather than discharging directly into
surface waters or roadside ditches
Any individual, group, or agency can bring suit for a listed species "taking," even if you are in compliance with
Jefferson County development codes. The risk of a lawsuit against you can be reduced by consulting with a
professional fisheries habitat biologist, and following the recommendations for site development provided by the
biologist. For more information, contact the National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle at (206)526-6613, or the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at (503) 231-6121.
APPEALS:
Pursuant to RCW 36.70C, the applicant or any aggrieved party may appeal this final decision to Jefferson County
Supedor Court within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the date of issuance of this land use decision. For more
information related to judical appeals see UDC Section 8.5.2.
