about the Fred Hill Materials operations; the Fred Hill Materials MRL has been appealed to the Growth
Management Hearings Board by the Hood Canal Coalition; the County's plans are appealed to the Growth
Management Hearings Board because they are flawed; a group from Brinnon is appealing the Brinnon Plan to
the Growth Management Hearings Board; at a Commissioners meeting last year there were quite a number of

from 11 :50 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. regarding actual litigation.
Discussion re: Marrowstone Island Sea Water Intrusion: Director of Community
Development Al Scalf reported that, in dealing with this issue, several concerns have been raised about
conflicts with local, state, and federal laws.
· State Constitution, 4th Amendment: voluntary versus mandatory entry on to private property.
· State Constitution, 5th Amendment: takings without just compensation.
· Exempt wells; Overseen by the State Department of Ecology: 5,000 gallons per day exemption and
regulating water usage.
· Well drilling construction standards; Overseen by the State Department of Ecology and State
Department of Health.
· Moratorium on building.

Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of February 24,2003
Several additional policy recommendations were suggested:
Recommendation # 1 :
Dave Christensen explained that there are concerns about the timeline for development of the proposed
public water system on the island. If the water system is not in place by December 31, 2004, it would be
designated a high risk SIPZ (Seawater Intrusion Protection Zone.) This would affect well drilling, the use of
well water, and the implementation of DOE's well drilling rules. Commissioner Huntingford suggested
reviewing the progress on the public water system project on a specific date in the future before making a
high risk SIPZ designation because once this designation is made, DOE will put a moratorium on well drilling
on the Island. He would rather use the conditions that the Planning Commission has suggested than
designate the SIPZ.
Commissioner Wrinkle stated that she is still concerned about the protection from degradation in the interim.
She is not sure voluntary compliance will make a difference. The County needs to meet the requirements of
the Hearings Board order. She feels that a high risk SIPZ needs to be designated now. There was a
discussion about allowing the use of alternative systems instead of wells and DOE's policy on these systems.
Currently, the County won't sign off on any type of alternative system as adequate potable water.
Commissioner Huntingford moved to designate all of Marrows tone Island as a high risk SIPZ after December
31, 2004 if there is no public water system. Chairman Titterness seconded the motion. The Chair called for
a vote on the motion. Chairman Titterness and Commissioner Huntingford voted for the motion.
Commissioner Wrinkle voted against the motion. The motion carried.
Recommendation #2:
Another suggestion would not permit new subdivisions on the island until the public water system is in place.
This would require an amendment to the UDC that is consistent with GMA.
Commissioner Huntingford moved that there will be no additional subdivisions on Marrowstone Island until
the public water system is in place and that once the water system is in place, all subdivisions will be done in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion. She clarified that if
the public water system isn't in place after the December 31, 2004 deadline, this policy on subdivisions would
not change unless it is repealed by the Board. The Chair called for a vote on the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote.
Recommendation #3 :
Another suggestion is to limit the number of gallons of water from 5,000 to 1,000 per day and whether this
applies to new wells only or includes existing wells. There was a discussion about how the 1,000 threshold
was arrived at, how it would be monitored, and how to enforce it. Chairman Titterness suggested that it
would be an appellant's responsibility to determine the amount and not the County. If they can provide
adequate data, the County will be able to investigate. He thinks that all wells should be limited to 1,000
gallons a day.

Commissioners Meeting Minutes: Week of February 24,2003
Commissioner Wrinkle moved to recommend that the number of gallons of water drawn from all wells on
Marrowstone Island be a maximum of 1,000 gallons per day. Commissioner Huntingford seconded the
motion. After a brief discussion, Chairman Titterness recommended that the motion be amended to say that
the County will limit the amount of water drawn from all existing and new wells on Marrrowstone Island
tol,OOO gallons a day. Commissioner Wrinkle accepted the amendment and Commissioner Huntingford
seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Recommendation #4:
The County agrees to support the public water system project outlined in Resolution No. 13-03, that
established a policy regarding a public water supply for Marrowstone Island. Chairman Titterness asked the
other Board members if they would support the County taking on the public water system project if another
agency decides against it? Commissioner Huntingford pointed out that the Board has made it clear that they
support the public water system and the PUD. Both Commissioner Huntingford and Commissioner Wrinkle
indicated that they cannot support the County taking on the project.
Recommendation #5:
Regarding the Planning Commission's recommendations, Tom McNerney, Planning Commission Chair,
explained that currently there is not enough monitoring data to evaluate. When the monitoring begins on a
consistent basis, and if the data shows there are problems, changes can be made at any time. Chairman
Titterness recommended that for the first 2 years, the monitoring be done quarterly.
Dave Christensen stated that adopting these recommendations will require amendments to the UDC
including 1,000 gallon minimum storage tanks and variable speed pumps as conditions on building permits.
There are also several administrative changes. One of the Planning Commission's recommendations was to
request that the PUD or a third party, rather than the well driller, collect the initial well water samples to
submit to the State. The Board agreed to keep the current procedure in place.
Commissioner Huntingford moved to adopt the Planning Commission's recommendations # 1 through #6
dated February 19, 2003. Commissioner Wrinkle seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Associate Planner Josh Peters asked for clarification on the motion on Recommendation #1. The majority of
the Board voted to designate the island a high risk SIPZ after December 31, 2004 if a public water system
isn't in place. He explained that it also must be declared a sea saltwater intrusion area per the WAC. The
Board concurred that this is their understanding.
Al Scalf added that these changes would be adopted as an interim control. A hearing would be held within
60 days of adoption.
