Proposal for Services to Prepare Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement
for the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort
Dear David:
I have prepared this letter proposal and Attachments in response to the County's solicitation for consultant
services to prepare the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Pleasant Harbor
Master Planned Resort (MPR). I am pleased to have the opportunity to be considered for these services
with the understanding now clearly established that the EIS consultant will work under the County's
direction (rather than under the direction of the applicant).
I have responded below to the Request for Proposal (RFP) submittal requirements, and included relevant
additional information for the Counfy's consideration.
Anticipated Work Plan (see Attachment A)
The County's RFP identifies the following sequence of tasks in the anticipated Work Plan for the Pleasant
Harbor MPR SEIS: budget/rates, review and coordination with County staff and the Peer Review Team
on work completed to-date, production of the preliminary Draft SEIS, production of the publication Draft
SEIS, attendance at one public hearing during the Planning Commission's Review and Recommendation
process forthe MPR proposal, and production of the Final SEIS. I have added some detail to this Work
Plan in Attachment A to my proposal: Proposed Work Plan and Task Description. My Cost Estimate for
this Work Plan is described in Attachment B. It is important for the County and applicant to understand at
the outset of retaining these services that it is impossible to propose with certainty all detailed tasks
required to prepare this SEIS, or even the level of effort required to perform known tasks. Consultants
who have previously worked on this project, including myself, will tell you without exception that there
have been numerous underlying issues to be resolved during the course of the work (for example,
discovery of a Binding Site Plan that governs the marina upland area and allows repair/replacement of
structures and improvements not subject to environmental review under the MPR); and redirection due to
revisions to elements of the proposed action (for example, revised alternative site plans, a revised energy
proposal, and revised wastewater treatment process). My cost estimate is based on the assumption that the
alternative site plans, narrative description of the proposal, and the technical reports are now reasonably
"final" for use in preparing the SEIS. I won't know whether this is the case until I receive and review the

most curent project documents (if selected). I am aware of at least half a dozen red-flag issues that I will
review first so as to avoid delay in proceeding with SEIS preparation.
Ability to Work Closely with Staff and the Peer Review Team
Working closely with SEPA Lead Agency staff and technical consultants is an element of the work on
every Environmental Impact Statement I have prepared. It is something I do (and enjoy) every day. You
will note from my Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) included in Attachment C that I have 30 years of
experience writing EISs, and have prepared more than 200 environmental compliance documents under
the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) guidelines. I have described two representative
examples below. Additional projects are described in my SOQ. I previously provided to the County (in
early 2009) a CD of the electronic files of the Thurston Highlands Master Planned Community Draft and
Final EIS, as a relevant example of my work. This project was completed in 2008 in the City of Yelm.
Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS. I previously worked on the Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS for 2 years
(February 2009 through March 20i 1). During that time, I worked with current and former County staff on
the project: yourself; Stacie Hoskins, Plaruring Manager; Al Scalf, Community Development Director;
and David A)varez, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. I felt that I had an excellent working relationship with
each of you, and that we worked well together to identifu issues and agree on the approach for how these
would be addressed through the technical reports and SEIS. I also worked with all members of the ESA-
Adolfson Peer Review Team, and assisted the applicant's technical team members with responding to
comments received from the Peer Review Team on their draft reports.
North Totten Inlet Mussel Culture EIS.I was the primary author of an Environmental Impact Statement
for expansion of a floating mussel aquaculture project in Totten Inlet, during which time I concurrently
served as the coordinator of an Independent Technical Review Committee (ITRC) advisory to Thurston
County. The ITRC was comprised of five experts in marine aquatic environment fields who reviewed and
commented on reports prepared by the applicant's technical team to assure the County that the best
scientific practices were used in data collection and analysis, and that objective conclusions were drawn
for use in the Environmental Impact Statement. I also worked closely with the County's Senior Planner
assigned to the project, and testified on behalf of the County during the Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit hearing.

Robert Smith, Senior Planner, Thurston County Resource Stewardship Department:360.754.4023.
Jack Rensel, Ph.D., ITRC Member, Rensel Associates Aquatic Science Consultants:360.435.3285.
Ability to Complete an EIS that will Withstand Intense Scrutiny and Legal Challenges
I approach SEPA work with a very high standard of care, organization, and completeness. Only one of the
EIS's I have prepared since the mid-1970s was ever challenged (in 1978), and this challenge was
dismissed as frivolous.

Re: Proposalfor Services to Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS
July 18, 2012
I have included in Attachment D to this proposal examples of work products I prepared for the Pleasant
Harbor MPR SEIS in 2011 that demonstrate this standard of care, organization and completeness:'
lntroduction, Narrative Description of the Alternatives, and Construction Phasing/Sequencing
Proposal (version 15, 2l0l I 17).
Comparison of Aitematives to be Addressed in the Project Level SEIS (version19,2l0llll).
I generally work alone as the primary author of large, complex, and controversial Environmental Impact
Statements. My primary reason for doing so is to assure the continuity of knowledge regarding issues that
need to be addressed in an integrated manner throughout the EIS and technical reports, not just under
individual elements of the environment. It is very costly to keep a team of EIS writers up to speed on all
issues in a manner that would accomplish this same outcome in the overall documentation. If the County
would feel more comfortable with more depth to the SEIS team, I could include a colleague as a co-
author. If this is of interest to the County, I recommend that we discuss it during the interview.
I frequently work with land use attomeys brought to the project by the Lead Agency and/or by the
applicant to cooperatively identify and implement a defensible and thorough approach to addressing al1
required contents of an Environmental Impact Statement. During the two years I previously worked on
the Pleasant Harbor SEIS, I participated in meetings with the County's Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
(David Alvarez), the applicant's legal counsel (Sandy Mackie, Perkins Coie), the Peer Review Team's
legal counsel (Tom Backer), and Jefferson County Department of Community Development (DCD) staff
to discuss such things as reasonable alternatives to be evaluated in this SEIS, affect of the County's
Shoreline Master Program update on site planning, and unique requirements for addressing both FEIS
Mitigating Conditions for Project Review and Board of County Commissioners conditions of approval in
the project-level SEIS, in addition to the conventional format for impact analysis and the formulation of
mitigation measures.
I attend the annual Law Seminars International SEPA,/NEPA Continuing Legal Education course to
maintain a current understanding of regulatory changes and case law that highlights issues most
susceptible to challenge and why. This knowledge is helpful to avoid omissions and inadequacies in EISs
that have not withstood legal challenges in Washington State.
I Versions of my documents currently posted on the County's website were slightly updated by the Project
Architect when the Alternative 2 site plan was revised. It should be noted that the Alternative 2 site plan or the
narrative descriptions about this Alternative that appear on the County's website are no longer accurate since the
decision was made to proceed with marina upland improvements under the provisions of an existing Binding Site
Plan that covers this area.
J
Strengths
My overall strengths in EIS preparation (in addition to those described in the subsections above) include
30 years' experience as project manager and primary author of Environmental Impact Statements, expanded
Environmental Checklists and related documents, and l7 years of concurent experience assisting clients with
the acquisition of environmental and land use permits. I have prepared more than 200 environmental
compliance documents under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). My project
experience is diverse and wide-ranging, having included master plarured developments; golf
course/recreational development proposals; residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional development;

habitat restoration/enhancement projects; marine and freshwater net pen aquaculture; solid waste transport,
recycling, and landfill disposal; water and sewer system upgrades; and programmatic actions: comprehensive
land use plan updates, land use code amendments, and annexations. I served 6 years on the City of Seattle
Planning Commission, including terms as chair of the Shorelines Committee and chair of the full
Commission. I was a member of the faculty,Law Seminars Intemational (LS[), annual Growth Management
Act (GMA) Conference during the formative years of GMA implementation (1993 and 1994), and of the
Marine Shoreline Development LSI program in 2009. My qualifications, representative prqect experience,
client references, and client comments are provided in my Statement of Qualifications, included here as
Attachment C.
My specific strengths as they relate to the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort SEIS include:
. I have established good working relationships with County staff, the applicant's representative (Don
Coleman), the Project Engineer (Craig Peck), Project Architect (Natalie Proft-Carlson), and technical
team members.
o I have visited the site on more than one occasion.
. I have copies and have reviewed all project documents prepared through February 201 1.
. I participated in reviewing implications for the Master Planned Resort of revised setbacks, buffers, and
development standards during the County's Shoreline Master Proglam update.
o I have reviewed the Binding Site Plan that applies to the marina upland area and understand the
provisions for repair and replacement of existing structures and improvements not subject to additional
environmental review.
. I understand and have information to describe the history of the application, including what has
transpired since issuance of the programmatic FEIS.
. I have reviewed and considered how to address unique requirements of this SEIS, specifically including:
the thirty (30) Board of Cor:nty Commissioners conditions for approval (as set forth in Jefferson County
Ordinance 01-0128-08), and the programmatic FEIS Mitigating Conditions for Subsequent Project
Review Qrlovember 2007).
. I reviewed and provided input to draft Memorandums of Understanding as these were being prepared and
negotiated by the applicant's representative (Don Coleman).
. I have reviewed and commented on the draft Zoning Ordinance and Draft Development Agreement that
will be elements of the proposal to be evaluated in the SEIS.
o I prepared the narrative project description of the proposed action and altematives, the comparison of
altematives table, and the description of the construction phasing proposal that are still in use, with minor
modifications to describe the revised Altemative 2 site plan.
r I prepared detailed monttrly status reports for a year regarding work products required for SEIS
preparation and for the subsequent development approval process (see Attachment E).
o I contributed significantly to information conveyed and distinctions made in the detailed information
provided on altemative site plans and phasing plans.
. I prepared an outline for the contents of the Draft SEIS, and an instructional memo to technical team
members regarding final report requirements to provide complete information needed for the SEIS (see
Attachment F).
. I have an established set of comprehensive project files.

This level of preparedness will enable efficient and expeditious resumption of work on the SEIS, and
minimize project initiation costs.
In conclusion, I would enjoy assisting Jefferson County with preparation of this complex Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement. I have given considerable thought to the issues, organization, and
integration requirements of this document. I am well prepared to begin immediately and commit the majority
of my time to this effort. Please contact me if I can provide any additional information for your consideration
at this time.

Technical Reports
Understanding: The applicant's technical team completed draft discipline reports in 2008-2009 for
project-level environmental review. Jefferson County Department of Community Development (DCD)
staff and the Peer Review Team commented on these reports in the fall of 2009. I worked with team
members to clarifu the response to these comments, as well as to comments received during Scoping for
the SEIS, and to identiff what (if any) corrections/revisions would be made or additional information
would be included in the final technical reports. It is my understanding that the applicant's technical team
"finalized" their 2008-2009 reports in 201 I by means of supplemental technical memos, to address the no
action alternative and two site plan alternatives that had undergone several iterations of revision between
2009 and 201 1. In an instructional memo I sent to technical team members 2101/l l, I also asked that their
final reports address five categories of mitigation (see Footnote 3 on page A-2). The following "final"
reports have been (or soon will be) submiued to the Peer Review Team:'
TECHNICAL REPORTS Notns*
Cultural Resources Investigation Four reports and one technical memo.
Energy Proposal Revised from an integrated system of solar power, geothermal
technology and combined heat and power (CHP) derived from
co-generation systems fueled by biodiesel, to purchasing
"green" energy from Mason County PUD.
Forestry Prepared in an unusual format from which it may be difficult to
extract information needed for the SEIS, but consultant is very
cooperative with answering questions.
Geotechnical
Golf Course Best Management
Practices
"Final" report created by Statesman Corporation in February
2012 (thoueh issued still indicating GeoEngineers as author).
Grading & Drainage
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis May 2012 document completed by a firm in Calgary, AB.
Groundwater
Landscaping Plan Conceptual plans for representative locations.
Lighting Study Not yet completed by Statesman Corporation in relation to my
6130ll0 comments. This report is needed to provide
information for DSEIS Chapter 3, and to address compliance
with BoCC Condition 63.2.
Transportation Impact Analysis
Wastewater Reclamation Plant Process Wastewater treatment process revised from MBR plant to a
Nuhient Removal Activated Sludge Process with Clarifiers and
Class A Filtration.
' If the "final" techlical reports have not yet been submitted to the Peer Review Team when the SEIS consultant
is selected, and if I am the consultant selected, I would like to discuss this with Jefferson County DCD.

Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS
Vicki Morris Consulting Services, July 18, 2012
Water Quality Monitoring Plan
(Pleasant Harbor)
Revised by Don Coleman; coordinated with Jefferson County,
the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group, the University of
Washington, and local Tribes.
Wetlands
Wildlife Habitat
* Where no notes are entered in the chart above, the draft repons I previously reviewed were of good
quality for addressing existing site conditions.
Approach: It will be important for the SEIS primary author to review the technical reports for
completeness prior to using this information for preparing sections of DSEIS Chapter 3. The EIS primary
author will likely be the only individual with the complete context for required information to address the
unique requirements for environmental review of this proposed action based on several precedent
conditions.3
Review technical memos generated by the applicant's consultant team that frnalize the discipline
reports to be used to prepare the SEIS. Check to see whether changes to the description of the
preferred alternative that occurred during May - July 2012 affect descriptions, the analysis of
potential impacts, or the recommendation of mitigation measures in each of the technical reports.
Identifu informational short-comings in "final" technical reports in relation to the format requested for
the impact analysis and mitigation measures as set forth in my 2l0llll Memorandum to team
members (a copy of which is provided in Attachment E to this proposal); request this additional
information from technical team members.
Review technical reports prepared by the applicant (e.g., Golf Course Best Management Practices),
and by out-of-state consultants retained by the applicant (e.g., the Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Analysis) for completeness in relation to Washington State requirements; provide an opinion to
Jefferson County DCD for consideration. ?ea f \z4--\r i g"p
Assist with sorting out Peer Review Team comments on the "final" technical reports to determine
what additional work (if any) needs to be done to address these comments.
When technical report information is complete for use in preparing the SEIS, summarize this
information in appropriate sections of the Draft SEIS.
SEIS Preparation
PRELIMINARYDRAFT SEIS
Understanding: It is customary to prepare a preliminary draft of an Environmental Impact Statement for
review by the Lead Agency, as the EIS is by law the Lead Agency's document (WAC 197-11-420U1).lt
is also customary for the preliminary Draft EIS to be reviewed by the applicant and/or the applicant's
representative(s). In the case of the Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS, it is understood that the preliminary Draft
3 Monthly status reports I prepared for the project between March 2010 and February 20ll identified the
following structure for the impact analysis and mitigation measures to be described in the SEIS: distinguish the
Potential Impacts of the alternatives both during construction and in the developed condition of the project; and
provide Mitigation Measures in five categories: compliance with FEIS Chapter 5 Mitigating Conditions, compliance
with Board of County Commissioners conditions, mitigation required by applicable regulations, other mitigation
measures proposed by the applicant, and other mitigation recommendations (at the discretion of each technical
consultant).

SEIS will also be reviewed by the Peer Review Team. The preliminary Draft SEIS will be an internal
review document only, not for public distribution. Up to 10 hard copies of the preliminary Draft SEIS will
be provided for internalreview, or electronic files, if requested.
It is a unique requirement of this SEIS that proposed actions to be considered in the SEIS include not only
project-level environmental review of construction, development and operation of the Master Planned
Resort, but also the programmatic actions of adopting a subarea-specific zoning map, zoning ordinance
(land use code), and development standards set forth in a draft Development Agreement for the MPR
subarea. Fufther, this SEIS must demonstrate how elements of the proposal, proposed mitigation
measures, Memorandums of Understanding, and possibly other commitments by the applicant will
address the programmatic FEIS Mitigating Conditions for Subsequent Project Review (November 2007),
and the thirty (30) Board of County Commissioners conditions of approval (January 2008).
Approach: Technical reports typically provide about 40% to 50%o of the information required to write a
Draft EIS. As the SEIS primary author, I would be responsible for summarizing the technical reports to
present information about elements on the environment in Chapter 3, and for writing all other contents of
the SEIS (see suggested Table of Contents in Attachment F to my proposal). As the SEIS primary author,
I would coordinate sections of SEIS Chapter 3 summarized from technical reports with each author of
these reports to assure that their meaning is not changed by the more abbreviated presentation of their
information. I would check to confirm that for every potential significant adverse impact identified, there
is a corresponding recommended mitigation measure. I would coordinate SEIS graphics preparation with
the Project Architect, Project Engineer, and possibly with technical team members if figures from their
reports are to be used in the Draft SEIS.
My suggested outline for the content of the Draft SEIS (provided in Attachment F) includes a structure
for addressing the unique requirements of this SEIS (described above). It will be important for this
approach to be clear, well-organized, and complete in describing these requirements, and in providing the
analysis for each under the Chapter 3 elements of the environment. The Chapter 3 impact analysis and
description of mitigation measures will be considerably more complex that in a more conventional Draft
EIS.
A preliminary Draft EIS typically requires about 50% to 7 5%;o of the overall effort to prepare the Draft and
Final EIS. For this reason, it requires the longest timeline in the schedule. As a quality control and
accuracy measure, I prefer to wait to write the Summary (Chapter l) until after receiving comments on
the preliminary Draft SEIS, in order to avoid having to locate more than one place where revisions are to
be made on the same subject.
Dnanr SEIS
Understandirg: Following receipt of internal review comments on the preliminary Draft SEIS, these
changes will be incorporated into the document and a pre-publication Draft SEIS will be prepared for
final review and acceptance by the Jefferson County (DCD staff and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney) prior
to public distribution of the document. When the document has been accepted by the County, the SEIS
author will print the requested number of hard copies and produce the required number of CDs of
electronic files for Draft SEIS distribution. The County will be responsible for providing all required
information to create the Distribution List, for public notices and mailings, and for posting the electronic
files on the DCD website.
A-3
Attachment A: Proposed Work Plan and Task Descriptions
Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS
Vicki Morris Consulting Services, July 18, 2012
Approach: I will review and consolidate comments received on the preliminary Draft SEIS, and
coordinate with Jefferson County DCD any questions I have about which comments take precedence over
others at locations where there may be conflicting suggestions. If it is apparent that a meeting would be
the most effective way for the County to convey its comments on the preliminary Draft SEIS, I will travel
to Port Townsend for this meeting. Up to l0 hard copies of the pre-publication Draft SEIS will be
provided for final internal review, or electronic files, if requested. The County may choose the method for
conveying its comments to me on the pre-publication Draft SEIS. Following the County's authorization to
proceed, I will finalize files for double-sided printing and for high-speed CD reproduction. I will arrange
for these services, and for delivery of documents and CDs to Jefferson County DCD a few days in
advance of the published date of issue in the document. It is not possible to accurately estimate these costs
at the time of this proposal preparation, as the number of pages and number of CDs will not be known
until this stage of SEIS preparation.
Dnnpr SEIS COUtr,tENT PERIOD / PusLIc MnnrrNC
Understanding: The Draft SEIS will be circulated by Jefferson County DCD, likely for a 45-day
comment period (WAC 197-ll-455161t71). During this time, Tribes, agencies with jurisdiction,
organizations, interested individuals, and adjacent properry owners will be invited to review and comment
on the proposed action and on the content of the Draft SEIS. The County may choose to mail a Notice of
Availability advising where copies of the Draft SEIS are available for review, or mail a CD of the
electronic files of the document to everyone on the Distribution List. Draft EIS distribution rules are set
forth in WAC 197-11-455.
The County's RFP for the Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS indicates a request for the SEIS consultant's
attendance at a public hearing of the Planning Commission's review and recommendation regarding the
SEIS. It is unclear whether this is the same or a different Planning Commission hearing than the one
identified in the Brinnon MPR SEIS process chart that follows completion of the Final SEIS.
Approach: I am available to attend one or both Planning Commission public hearings to respond to
questions about the Draft SEIS.
PRELIMINARY FINAL SEIS
Understanding: A preliminary Final EIS is often prepared as a companion document to the Draft EIS, for
which the major chapters include only the Summary, Comments and Response to Comments, and an
Errata section for noting minor corrections to the Draft EIS (WAC 197-11-560[5]). In cases where
substantial revisions to the Draft EIS are required, the Final EIS may include the entire contents of the
Draft EIS updated as necessary, and an additional chapter on Comments and Response to Comments.
Similar to the methodology for preparing the Draft SEIS, a preliminary draft of the Final SEIS will be
prepared for internal review by the County, applicant and/or applicant's representatives, and Peer Review
Team. The preliminary Final SEIS may consist of the draft response to comments and Errata section only,
depending on whether the County would also like to receive all other contents of the Final SEIS at this
time, or review these in the pre-publication version of the Final SEIS.

Attachment A: Proposed Work Plan and Task Descriptions
Pleasant Harbor MPR SEIS
Vicki Morris Consulting Services, July 18, 2012
Approach: I recommend a meeting that includes Jefferson County DCD stafi potentially the County's
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, the applicant's representative, potentially the applicant's legal counsel, and
myself after we have received and reviewed the letters of comment. The purpose for the meeting will be
to discuss approach and responsibilities for responding to the comments. I will take the lead responsibility
for drafting the County's response to comments, with input as needed from others - all for review and
acceptance by the County.
It is impossible to know at the time this proposal is being prepared whether the Pleasant Harbor MPR
Final SEIS will be prepared as a companion document to the Draft, or as a free-standing and complete
SEIS that includes the content of both the Draft and Final. This cannot be known until comments are
received at the conclusion of the public comment period. lt is also not possible to accurately estimate the
level of effort required to respond to comments until the number and complexity of comments can be
reviewed. For these reasons, I propose a phased approach to my cost estimate (Attachment B). I have
included a ballpark cost estimate based on preparing the Final SEIS as a companion document to the
Draft SEIS; however, this is neither a confirmed decision nor a fixed price.
Up to 10 hard copies of the preliminary Final SEIS will be provided for internal review, or electronic
files, if requested.
FlNaI SEIS
Understandireg: Following receipt of internal review comments on the preliminary Final SEIS, these
changes will be incorporated into the document and a pre-publication Final SEIS will be prepared for
final review and acceptance by the Jefferson County (DCD staff and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney) prior
to public distribution of the document. When the document has been accepted by the County, I will
affange for printing the requested number of hard copies and for producing the required number of CDs
of electronic files for Final SEIS distribution. The County will be responsible for mailing the Final SEIS
or Notice of Availability. Final SEIS distribution rules are set forth in WAC 197-l l-460. The County will
be responsible for providing me with any corrections or additions to the Draft SEIS Distribution List to
create the Final SEIS Distribution List, for public notices and mailings, and for posting the electronic files
on the DCD website. The Final SEIS Distribution List shall include everyone on the Draft SEIS
Distribution List plus persons who commented on the Draft SEIS but were not on that Distribution List.
The County may send a Notice of Availability of the Final SEIS, except to persons who request a copy of
the Final SEIS (WAC 197-1l460|llt2l). Where the County receives notice of an incorrect mailing
address during the Draft SEIS Notice of Availability, these addresses can be deleted from the Final SEIS
Distribution List.
Approach: I will review and consolidate comments received on the preliminary Final SEIS, and
coordinate with Jefferson County DCD regarding any locations where there may be conflicting
suggestions. If it is determined that a meeting would be the most effective way for the County to convey
its comments to me on the preliminary Final SEIS, I will travel to Port Townsend for this meeting. Up to
10 hard copies of the pre-publication Final SEIS will be provided for final internal review, or electronic
files, if requested. The County may choose the best means for conveying its comments to me on the pre-
publication Final SEIS. Following the County's authorization to proceed, I will finalize files for double-
sided printing and for high-speed CD reproduction. I will arrange for these services, and for delivery of
documents and CDs to Jefferson County DCD a few days in advance of the published date of issue of the
document. There will be a7-day waiting period after issuance of the Final SEIS before the County can

take action on the proposal. Submiual of the Final SEIS will conclude my services on the project, unless
the County or applicant request my participation in preparing documents for the Development Agreement
or permitting process.
SEIS Project Management
The County's RFP does not request a schedule or project management approach. I would be happy to
discuss this further with you during the interview, if you like. I am very experienced with EIS project
management - it has been a requirement of every EIS I have written over the course of 30 years.
SEIS preparation will be a fluid and interactive process. It does not lend itself well to conventional project
scheduling (such as the Microsoft Office Project system). When I have been asked to provide input to
such schedules in the past, it takes considerable time away from document preparation and adds
significantly to the cost of services for no net benefit in the long run. I anticipate changes and
reprioritization of tasks, always keeping in mind the end goal of preparing a complete and thoroughly
integrated document. We can identifu a target date, and I will keep the County informed of progress
toward that goal. I would be happy to participate in monthly or weekly conference calls, as needed, to
keep the County informed of progress, and to resolve any questions or other matters of coordination.
SEIS project management will occur during all phases of the work.

Thurston Highlands Master Planned Community EIS 2006-2008
Ms. Morris was retained by the applicant and approved by the City of Yelm to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Conceptual Master Site Plan of Thurston Highlands. The 1,240-acre site is
within the City limits, zoned for development of a master planned community. In order to comply with
urban residential densities required by the Growth Management Act (GMA), approximately 5,000 homes
are proposed in a mix of housing types and densities, along with approximately 825,000 square feet (sf)
of commercial development; approximately 135,000 sf of office space; approximately 400 acres of
permanent open space; a Regional Sports Complex; school sites and and fire station. A major arterial
extension is proposed through the site to connect SR-510 and SR-507. The project will more than triple
the size of the existing community during the projected l0- to 30-year build-out. This magpitude of
growth requires both short- and long-range plannrng for upgrades to all public services and utilities: water
supply and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and disposal (with emphasis on infiltration of
reclaimed water from advanced treatment systems); stormwater collection, treatment, and infiltration
facilities; electrical power and communications; transportation system and transit facilities. Ms. Morris
participated in weekly management group meetings during the course of preparing the Draft EIS.
Participants included City of Yelm Community Development Department staff; consultants to the City;
the applicant; and representatives ofpublic service providers for the purpose offacilitating planning and
the provision of infrastructure to serve thjs growth. She was responsible for coordinating the work of the
EIS technical team to generate information needed for environmental review of this large-scale, long-term
project, and served as primary author of the EIS. The City of Yelm asked Ms. Morris to continue on the
project to assist them in 201212013 with preparing the Development Agreement.

City of Cle Elum Regional Sewer Project and
Hanson Ponds Restoration/Habitat Enhancement Project 2001-2007
The City of Cle Elum required an Environmental Impact Statement and permit applications to construct a
regional wastewater collection, treatment and disposal system to serve projected growth within the City
and its Urban Growth Area (UGA), the Town of South CIe EIum, City of Roslyn, Town of Ronald, and
the Suncadia Resort west of Roslyn and Ronald. The resort and development proposed within the City's
UGA were a driving force for the regional sewer system project. Suncadia - approximately 6,225 acres in
size, was proposed to include approximately 3,485 residential units, 300 hotel rooms, multiple golf
courses, and a number of other recreational facilities; and related development of 1,100 acres within the
adjacent City of Cle Elum Bullfrog UGA west of downtown. Development features proposed within the
UGA include approximately 1,334 residential units, a business park, and various recreational facilities
and public services. Primary components of the regional sewer project included: upgrade the City of Cle
Elum wastewater treatment plant to function as a sequencing batch reactor (SBR); relocate and
reconstruct the City of Cle Elum wastewater treatment plant outfall; construct two new interceptors - the
MPR/UGA lnterceptor and Roslyn Interceptor - and replace the Cle Elum interceptor from the point of
confluence of the two new interceptors; implement sludge management practices.
Ms. Morris was responsible for preparing permit applications and all agency coordination required to
obtain approvals to construct a relocated outfall for wastewater treatment plant discharge to the Yakima
fuver. She contributed to the Environmental Impact Statement for the project, to assure that the
environmental review process would be well-coordinated with permitting requiranents. Concurrent with
the City's interest in relocating the wastewater treatment plant outfall, the Yakama Nation expressed an
interest in acquiring development rights from the City to restore Yakima River side-channel habitat in the
Hanson Ponds adjacent to the outfall location. The ponds were used by the City for a recreational put-and-
take fishery. Ms. Morris was responsible for all coordination with a representative designated by the
Yakama Nation, and prepared permit applications in a manner that identified the City and Yakama Nation
as co-applicants. A Corps of Engineers Section 404 permit, Section 401 Water Quality Certifrcation,
Hydraulic Project Approval, Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, and several other project
approvals were obtained in time to successfully construct the project during the narrow
October-December 2003 in-water work window. Ms. Morris was responsible for coordination between
the design engineer, construction contractor, permitting agencies, and the City while the project was being
built, and had on-going responsibilities for post-construction monitoring and compliance.
Cle Elum Regional lltater System Improvements 2000-2008
The City of Cle Elum required environmental review documents and permit applications to construct
water supply system improvements that included a new municipal water treatment plant; relocated water
supply diversion structures on the Yakima and Cle Elum Rivers; new pump stations and raw and treated
water transmission mains between the water supply diversions, treatment plant, and the point of
connection to the existing distribution system. The expanded system would serve projected growth within
the City of Cle Eium and its Urban Growth Area, the Town of South Cle Elum, and the Suncadia resort.
The Town of South Cle Elum sought and obtained water right changes that allowed them to withdraw
their municipal water supply from surface water sotrrces using City of Cle Elum diversion structures,
conveyance and treatment systems.
As a subconsultant to the engineering design firm, Ms. Morris prepared the expanded SEPA Checklist for
all components of the project, was a substantial contributor to the NEPA Environmental Report prepared
for the Federal funding agency (USDA-Rural Development), and assisted with the preparation of permit
applications. The most significant environmental issues dealt with in the environmental review documents
and permit applications were the in-water work elements of the project: rock drops at each relocated water
supply diversion structure to direct the flow of the river past the intake during low flow periods; a
concrete utility trench box constructed across the bed of the Yakima River to convey raw and treated
water transmission mains and other utilities; construction timing to avoid sensitive life cycles of fish;
water quality and wetland mitigation measures to comply with Federal, State and local permits. AII
permits were obtained in time to successfully construct the water treatment plant and Yakima River
system components on-schedule in 2000-2002.
Shilshole Bay Marina Dock Replacement/Moorage Expansion 1997-2001
Ms. Morris was selected by the Port of Seattie to prepare a Supplemental EIS (SEIS) for a moorage
expansion proposal originally considered in 1981-82. Concurrent with examining moorage expansion and
reconfiguration alternatives, the 2000 SEIS addressed the 30-year facility maintenance proposal to replace
all docks to renew the useful life of the marina and to preserve the capital investment in the facility. Ms.
Morris and the EIS Team engaged in an extensive alternatives analysis working with the engineering
design team to address berthJength diversity alternatives for the main marina, north-end sailing center
alternatives, and construction schedule alternatives to serve projected future demand for moorage while
minimizing overwater coverage and other prospective impacts. Alternatives for north-end improvements
were segregated from the main marina due to the unique requirements of the sailing center. Technical
analyses were prepared by subconsultant team members specializing in fisheries and marine vegetation,
traffic and parking, noise and air quality, and utility system upgrades. Ms. Morris participated in public
meetings and responded to comments received on the Draft EIS.
Ms. Morris returned to the Shilshole Bay Marina project in 2003 to prepare a comprehensive SEPA
Addendum on design of the selected altemative, for use in the Federal, State, and local permit processes.

Terminal 107 Public Shoreline Access Improvements 1995-1997
Ms. Morris served as Project Manager for environmental review and public involvement in master
planning for the Port of Seattle's largest public shoreline access project on the Duwamish Waterway.
This project is the "centerpiece" of the Comprehensive Public Access Planfor the Duwamish Waterway -
an agreement between the City of Seattle and the Port for public shoreline access improvements
cofilmensurate with marine terminal improvements that require vacation of public street rights-of-way.
The property encompasses a known archaeological midden. Tribal representatives, West Seattle residents,
and recreational users of the Duwamish Waterway were primary participants in the public involvement
program, which required resolution of conflicting priorities for use and development of the site. Master
planning also included integrating site amenities with planned improvements on adjacent properties:
Kellogg Island habitat restoration, the Seattle Park Improvement Fund (SPIF) Seaboard Lumber site
aquatic habitat restoration, and the Greater Harbor 2000 Alki/Harbor Avenue/Duwamish Corridor Plan.
Ms. Morris coordinated the work of the technical team and prepared three expanded SEPA Checklists: 1)
for interim site improvements to open the property to public access while master planning was underway;
2) for subsurface investigations performed by archaeologists in an area south of the known midden site;
and 3) for the master plan site improvement proposal.
Duwamish Site Habitat Restoration/Enhancement Pro.ject 2006-2007
The Duwamish site habitat restoration/enhancement project is compensatory mitigation for alleged wetland
impacts to waters of the U.S. that occurred during 2004-2005 construction of the City of Seattle Joint
Training Facility on Myers Way S. in the City of Seattle. The Duwamish site is approximalely 2.7 acres
located adjacent to Turning Basin No. 3, at approximately rivermile 5.5. This site had unrealized habitat
potential due to its invasive and weedy plant community; poor connectivity between aquatic and
terrestrial settings; steep, armored riverbanks; and direct-discharging urban stormwater. The City of
Seattle Fleets & Facilities Department (FFD) proposed to bring the Duwamish site to a more fully-
functional state for the benefit of aquatic and terrestrial species, in a location that will provide a clear
ecological benefit in the Hamm Creek basin. The off-site, out-of-kind mitigation design incorporates
estuarine wetland and upland wildlife habitat restoration through construction of a small cove on the west
shore of the Duwamish River, pocket plantings and the installation of large woody debris (LWD), aquatic
habitat buffer restoration, and potential opportunities for water quality enhancement. The habitat
restoration/enhancement proposal provides an opportunity to restore important estuarine wetlands and
intertidal habitat critical for supporting out-migrating juvenile salmon. Ms. Morris prepared the expanded
SEPA Environmental Checklist for the project, and all local, state, and federal permit applications.
AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. prepared the Mitigation P1an, Biological Evaluation, Geotechnical
Evaluation, and all project design documents.
North Totten Inlet Mussel Culture EIS 2001-Present
Ms. Morris was selected by Taylor Shellfish and approved by Thurston County to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for a 58-raft mussel culture proposal in North Totten Inlet. The mussel raft structure would
cover an area approximately 1.38 acres in size withinan 11.25-acre aquatic land lease area. Individual rafts
would be approximately 30ft x 34ft in dimension. The proposed new mussel raft structure would be located
approximately 700 feet offshore, northwest of 85th Avenue, in unincorporated Thurston County. An
altemative to the proposal would reduce the number of rafts to 50, separated into 10 groups of f,rve
approximately 30ft x 40ft in dimension, with increased separation between rows to allow for periodic
relocation of rafts within the bedlands lease area. Significant environmental issues addressed in the EIS were
specified by the Thurston County Hearing Examiner, with further clarification and oversight from an
lndependent Technical Review Committee (ITRC) retained by Thurston County. Technicai issues include:
potential cumulative impacts to the water column and phytoplankton resource as the result of the addition of
this mussel raft to an inlet that already supports several other shellfish aquaculture operations; potential

impacts to boffom-dwelling (benthic) organisms; potential impacts of escapement and propagation of mussels
of the variety to be cultured on the raft; potential impacts to the prey organisms of threatened and endangered
species and resident frnfish; potential navigational hazards; and shoreline properry owner objections. Ms.
Morris was responsible for ITRC coordination, and served as the primary author of the Environmental Impact
Statement.
Seaboard Lumber Site Aquatic Habitat Restoration 1998
The City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation sought to restore intertidal and upland habitat on
a 5.7-acre site in the lower Duwamish River, historically the site of the Seaboard Lumber operation.
Project implementation required removal of soils containing residual contamination from the lumber mill
operation, and capping in-place and covering with clean sediments for habitat creation. The aquatic
habitat restoration proposal included excavating an intertidal basin; constructing shoreline protection; and
introducing aquatic, intertidal and upland habitat improvements. Upland features of the project include an
asphalt-paved parking lot for 13 cars, an informational kiosk, and compacted crushed rock pathways
leading to viewpoints. Habitat restoration improvements were funded by the Elliott BaylDuwamish
Restoration Program - a consortium of governmental agencies and Tribes responsible for implementing a
Consent Decree that settled a l99l lawsuit filed by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) against the City of Seattle and Metro for alleged damage to natural resources in Elliott Bay and
the Duwamish fuver from the operation of storm and sanitary sewer systems that discharge to these
waters. The completed project was dedicated as Herring's House Park in Spring 2001. Ms. Morris
prepared the NEPA Environmental Assessment, SEPA Environmental Checklist, Joint Aquatic Resource
Permit Application (JARPA), and written justification for exemption from a Shoreline Substantial
Development permit.
Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center 2005-2006
The Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center (MSEEC) was a joint project of the City of Beller.ue
Parks & Community Services Department and the Pacific Science Center, to provide a facility appropriate in
size and character for their environmental education center programs. Expansion of the existing MSEEC use
on the 1 1 8th Avenue SE site consisted of building a cluster of nine structures nestled on the wooded hillside
of the site, connected by boardwalks. Building design, material selection, and infrastructure elements were
selected with the objective of using the project as an example of environmental stewardship. Frontage
improvements consisted of reconfiguring the existing driveway to the south parking lot; constructing a
second driveway to create one-way drive-through access through the south parking lot; constructing two new
driveways for one-way access to the north parking lot; and constructing a boardwalk along the west side of
118th Avenue SE to maintain the pedestrian link of the Laketo-Lake Trail past the site.
Ms. Morris was responsible for preparing an expanded SEPA Checklist, a NEPA Environmental
Assessment (prepared in the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development format), and permit
applications for the MSEEC project.
Bastyr University Campus Master Plan EIS 2002-2004
Bastyr University and the City of Kenmore proposed to adopt and implement a Campus Master Plan for
expansion of this instirute of naturopathic medicine on the 5l-acre site of the former St. Thomas
Seminary in Kenmore. The five-phase development proposal will support the University's vision for
gowth over the next 25 years. The City will adopt the Campus Master Plan as an amendment to their
City-wide Comprehensive Plan, to guide development on the campus as a subarea of the City.
Development regulations for campus expansion will be set forth in a Planned Action Ordinance and/or
Development Agreement. Ms. Morris was retained as the primary author of the EIS that examined three
alternative scenarios for campus expansion, the No-Action Alternative, and the University's phasing
proposal. The most significant issues were stormwater management, secondary access to the campus

(surrounded on three sides by St. Edward State Park), parking demand, offsite traffic impacts to Juanita
Drive NE, and the construction proposal.
Given that this was the University's first experience with environmental review under SEPA, they were
unfamiliar with how to write detailed narrative descriptions of the proposed action and alternatives. Ms.
Morris developed these descriptions and illustrations working with Moore, Iacofano and Goltsman
(MIG), lnc., the University's master plan consultant. As the primary author of the EIS, Ms. Morris was
also responsible for responding to public and agency comments received during scoping, and during the
Draft EIS comment period.
Little Creek Golf Course NEPA Environmental Review Document 2005-2006
With a long-range vision to create a diverse and stable base of different enterprises that provide economic
self-sufficiency and comprehensive employment oppoffunities, the Squaxin Island Tribe proposed to
construct an 18-hole championship golf course as a component of the existing Little Creek Resort. The
golf course was perceived as the primary amenity that would transition the existing hotel/casino complex
to a destination resort. The Tribe retained a Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) course designer to
develop the course layout, and an environmental review team to help identifu means to avoid, minimize,
and/or mitigate for potential adverse impacts associated with golf course development of the site. Ms.
Morris was the environmental review team project manager, and primary author of the environmental
review document. Significant issues included: water resources, access, and infrastructure. Project
planning included bringing a 150,000 gpd MBR treatment plant onJine in time to generate reuse water
for golf course irrigation. As golf course development was being completed, the course was named Salish
Cliffs Golf Club.
Housing District Pump Station, Force Main and Reuse Line NEPA EA 2006-2007
The Squaxin Island Tribe upgraded its wastewater treatment system with installation of a Membrane
Bioreactor (MBR) system in March 2007 . The new treatment plant was installed in the Tribe's Kamilche
Valley commercial area, approximately 0.75-mile west and downgradient from the Tribal housing and
governmental services district. In anticipation of connecting all Tribal lands to a regional wastewater
treatment system, 6-inch sewer force mail and 4-inch reuse water lines had been constructed in 2004 in
the Old Olympic Highway right-of-way (during a Mason County road improvement project), to within
3,400 lineal feet of the housing district. The Housing District Pump Station, Force Main and Reuse Line
project completed the distribution system to convey effluent from the SBR plant to the MBR, and
potentially to retum reuse water to the housing district for beneficial uses in the future. The Tribe sought
grant funding from both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S.D.A.-Rural Development.
Ms. Morris prepared a NEPA Environmental Assessment for the project, in a format that consolidated the
requirements of both federal agencies.
Indian Summer Golf Course and Residential Development 1992-1993
Ms. Morris was the EIS project manager and primary author of the Thurston County EIS that addressed a
preliminary plat of 230 lots for single-family homes, and nine parcels for future residential development
to include townhouses, condominiums or apartments. A total of about 480 dwelling units were planned
surrounding the lS-hole PGA golf course known as lndian Summer. Significant issues addressed by the
EIS team included wetland water quality and habitat value; wildlife corridors; stormwater quality;
potential impact of yard and turf maintenance on groundwater quality, including lntegrated Pest
Management (IPM) measures; traffic; student population; sewer extension; onsite recreational
opportunities; an historically significant homestead site; compatibility with a neighboring private airfield;
the potential health effects of the electromagnetic field (EMF) associated with a BPA transmission
corridor through the southern portion of the site; and Urban Growth Management Agreement (UGMA)
compliance.

Kahler GIen Golf Course & Condominiums 1993-1994
Ms. Morris was retained by the owner/developer and approved by Chelan County to prepare an EIS
addressing development of a 200-acre parcel adjoining an existing 4O-acre Phase I development near the
south end of Lake Wenatchee. New development included an additional 9-hole golf course, up to 92 lots
for single-family homes, up to 40 condominium units, a hotel and restaurant. Environmentally sensitive
areas included steep slopes and riparian habitat adjacent to Nason Creek to be preserved in a conservancy
easement for the protection of wetlands, wildlife habitat, and floodway. Significant issues dealt with in
the EIS included: compatibility of proposed uses with the low intensity recreational character of the area;
encroachment of clearing, development and commercial uses on a Conservancy shoreline; wetlands and
rare plants; maintaining a 100-ft wide riparian corridor in a conservancy easement; mitigation within the
golf course for loss of wildlife habitat; protection of fish habitat and instream flow; water supply/water
balance for domestic use and irrigation; groundwater continuity with Nason Creek or Lake Wenatchee;
water quality associated with golf course runoff and impervious surfaces; interim and permanent
stormwater control - no point discharge; slope stability for residential and road constructionl trip
generation; and air quality concerns associated with wood-burning fireplaces.
Puget Sound Chinook Harvest Resource Management Plan NEPA EIS 2003-2004
Under contract to the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission OIWIFC), Ms. Morris provided technical
editing and NEPA content oversight for complex and extensive NEPA environmental review documents
prepared by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service,
Northwest Regional Office, to address the Puget Sound Chinook Harvest Resource Management Plan - a
fisheries harvest management proposal developed jointly by the Washinglon Department of Fish and
Wildlife and the Puget Sound Treaty Tribes. Ms. Morris provided these services for the 1,000-page
NEPA Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared for the 2004 harvest season, and for the 1,200-page
NEPA EIS prepared for the 2005-2009 harvest seasons.
City of Kent S. 228th Street Extension 1999-2001
The City of Kent required an Environmental Impact Statement for their Public Works Department
proposal to complete the west leg of the South 224tUSouth 228th Street corridor from its existing
terminus (84th Avenue South) to SR-516 (Kent-Des Moines Road) to provide additional east-west traffic
capacity across the Green River valley. The project involved a Green River bridge crossing, with
significant Endangered Species Act (ESA) and wetland impact considerations. Three alternative
alignments were considered for the route up the West Hill, an area mapped as Class I/High Hazard for
landslides and erosion potential. The EIS required a policy anaiysis of compliance with the City's
Shoreline Master Program and unique and fragile areas policies. Ms. Morris served as SEPA Specialist
and Senior Technical Advisor to the City's project manager for EIS content and technical report
preparation. The consultant team included specialists in transportation planning and desigp, bridge design,
traffic impact analysis, noise and air quality impact analysis, aquatic biology, terrestrial biology,
wetlands, geology and slope stability.
Sandy Point Sewer System Upgrades 2008
The Sandy Point wastewater treatment plant and pump stations are 25 years old and in a deteriorating
condition. In order to improve system reliability, increase capacity for growth, and address health hazards
associated with failing septic systems, the Lummi Tribal Sewer and Water District proposes to construct a
new Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment plant, rebuild seven existing pump stations and construct
one new pump station, and extend the gravity sewage collection system a distance of approximately
14,130 linear feet. Ms. Morris prepared the NEPA Environmental Report for the project, in accordance
with U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Services guidelines.

CCT had no comments on the November draft EA. That said, I did not make
any revisions to the document and will use that version for public
comment.
Thanks again for everything. The analysis in the EA is of a caliber that
it will likely serve as a bench mark moving fonruard for future
aquaculture projects (of which we have been getting quite a few lately,
although mostly in ldaho).

I wanted to pass along my compliments to Scott and everyone else who helped make this project
happen. Some might have been dissuaded from trying this sort of thing due to permitting
challenges, design complexity, size of the river, etc. These can be real concerns, but they are not
insurmountable if the right people and dedication are involved, as in this instance.
This project clearly improves off-channeljuvenile rearing habitat, which is one of the limiting
factors inhibiting salmonids in the upper Yakima River. By doing things to help improve habitat so
that salmon, steelhead, and bull trout can bounce back to the point that they no longer need
special protection, this project moves us a bit closer to that goal. So whether you're a fish-guy like
me or not, I hope projects like this one are recognized as furthering multiple interests, and not just
good for fish.

Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort
Introduction, Narrative Description of the Alternatives
and Construction Phasing/Sequencing Proposal
SIrn LOCITION AND PrrySICaI CHRRICTTRISTICS
The Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort (MPR) is proposed on approximately 257 acres of the 710-
acre Black Point Peninsula along the western side of the Hood Canal. The peninsula is surrounded on the
north, south, and east by the waters of Hood Canal. Pleasant Harbor is formed by the west shore of Black
Point and the east shore of the mainland. The harbor is connected to Hood Canal by a narrow entrance
channel at the north end. The site is about 40 miles north of Shelton and 3 miles south of Briruron in
Jefferson County, Washington, in Sections 15 and 22 of Township 25 North, Range 2 West of the
Willamette Meridian (see Figure _ [Location VIap]).
Existing land use on the Black Point Peninsula is predominantly low-density residential. The Peninsula
was previously logged, and single-family homes have been constructed on the west and east sides. The
northern end of the peninsula is undeveloped. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)
owns approximately 30 acres of forest land on the northern portion of the peninsula. Improvements on
WDFW land include a public boat launch and picnic area with access from Black Point Road.
A period of glaciation occurred in the Puget Sound Lowland approximately 30,000 to 15,000 years
ago. It is likely that the glacial ice advanced and withdrew several times over the project area during
the glacial period, depending on climatic conditions. Thus, geologic material beneath the site consists
of sand and gravel outwash with some glacial till exposures. Depressions and hummocks formed in
glacial outwash material deposited on and around stagnant glacial ice as the underlying ice melted.
Numerous potholes identified on the property are "kettles" formed as sand and gravel was deposited
around stagnant ice blocks that subsequently melted. Several of the kettles have silty soils in the
bottom overlying sand and gravel. Three wetlands have been identified on the proposed Master
Planned Resort site: one in the largest kettle, a second in a local depression southeast of the largest
kettle, and a third that extends off-site along the east property line.
The topography of the site ranges from mean sea level to about 320 feet above mean sea level (msl) on
the peninsula, and from mean sea level to about 100 feet above msl in the Pleasant Harbor marina area
(approximately 150 feet msl at the intersection of Black Point Road with U.S. Highway 101). Slopes on
the peninsuia range from less than2 percent in the western portion to more than 100 percent in the area of
steep coastal bluffs along the south boundary. The high point on the peninsula (at existing grades) occurs
in the southeast portion of the proposed MPR site, east of Kettle C.
All areas of the site were formerly logged by others prior to 1970. Historical aerial photographs
reproduced in the Forestry Report prepared for the Pleasant Harbor MPR show that the area now
occupied by the Pleasant Harbor Marina was once used as a log dump and log rafting area. The existing
narrow loop road on the slope and along the waterfront in this area of the site was created by others to
serve that use.
Vegetation presently found on the property consists primarily of an overstory of Douglas-fir
(Pseudotsuga menziesti) with occurrences of red alder (Alnus rubra), black cottonwood (Populus
trichocarpa), bitter cherry (Prunus emarginata), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), and Pacific
2/01/l L'vl51
madrone (Arbutus menziesii). Broadleaf shrubs and other plants found in the understory include: red-
flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum), Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius), vine maple (Acer circinatum),
salal (Gaultheria shallon), and evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum).
The area that includes the site is within the East Olympic and Hood Canal River basins, and within the
Skokomish-Dowewallips Water Resource Inventory Area (WRLA l6). Intermittent streams flow through
the Maritime Village and marina upland area of the site north of Black Point Road (runoff from U.S.
Highway 101 and the hillside above) and discharge into Pleasant Harbor. There are no existing stream
courses on the Black Point Peninsula portion of the property.
Existing utilities in both areas of the site include electrical power, propane gas, potable water from wells,
wastewater treatment and disposal in on-site sewage disposal systems, telephone, and solid waste
collection and transport.
PRINCIPAL FEATURES oF THE EXISTING M,q.RINA/MARITIME VIII-IcB
The Marina/Maritime Village portion of the proposed MPR site encompasses approximately 36.3 acres
extending northeasterly along the east side of U.S. Highway 101 from the Black Point Road intersection
to the north end of the Pleasant Harbor Marina. The existing marina was developed in the late 1960s.
Vehicular access is provided from U.S. Highway 101 at the north end of the site. The marina is also
accessible by private boat or float plane. Existing improvements within the Marina/Maritime Village area
of the proposed MPR include:
. A real estate office adjacent to U.S. Highway 101
. A driveway to the Bed-and-Breakfast Harbor House owned by others (access from U.S. Highway
101
. The Pleasant Harbor House owned by Statesman Corporation
o A grocery store/convenience store/deli and office at the marina
o Restrooms, showers and laundry
o Swimming pool with change roonr
r An asphalt-paved and gravel one-way loop road and parking areas adjacent to the shoreline and
up the slope above the grocery store/convenience store/deli
. Septic tanks, sewage pumps, fuel tanks, wells and pumps, and water storage tanks
o [ 286-slip marina.
PRINCTpIT- FEATURES OF THE AREA PnOpoSBo FoR GoLF Counsp/GolF RESoRT DrvsLopN,InNr
The area of the MPR site proposed for Golf Course/Golf Resort development (approximat ely 220 .4 acres)
was previously developed by others in the 1950s as a campground. The 500-unit Thousand Trails
commercial campground has paved and graveled roads and parking areas, tent camp sites, recreational
vehicle (RV) pad sites, picnic areas with shelter buildings, an activity center and swimming pool,
restroom buildings with septic tanks and drainfields, wells for water supply, gravel borrow areas, an entry
guard house, and fenced equipment storage areas. The campground was in use until late 2007. A
Conditional Use permit was obtained in 2010 to allow continued use of the campground and RV sites if
Statesman were to choose to reactivate this use. Some minor grading occurred on the site to create level
campsites and roadways. Gravel borrow pits were excavated east of the large kettle near the center of the
site and in the fenced storage area near the campground entrance.

fNote: Each consultant should add to the existing conditions description to include fbatures reievant to
their analysis.l
Both the Pleasant Harbor Marina and the Black Point Peninsula have access from U.S. Highway 101. The
peninsula is also served by Black Point Road (see Figure ).
Brurr.IITSTORY AND BACKGROUND OF THE MISTpR PIINNTo RTSORT DcSICNaTIoN
Statesman Corporation applied to Jefferson County for a Comprehensive Plan amendment in 2006 for a
Master Planned Resort (MPR) designation in the Brinnon subarea. This application was processed with
the County's 2007 docket of annual Comprehensive Plan amendments. An Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) was prepared on the programmatic land use action. Land use alternatives for MPR
development (including no action) were evaluated in that EIS. The Final EIS was published November
27 ,2007 . The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) approved by Ordinance No. 02-
0128-08 amendments to the Comprehensive PIan and a Comprehensive Plan map change to designate the
area Master Planned Resort. The BoCC decision affirmed in Ordinance No. 02-0128-08 that the site is
better suited for a MPR than for commercial timber harvest or agricultural production; the MPR plan is
and will be consistent with all Growth Management Act (GMA)-derived development regulations
pertaining to critical areas and pertaining to all on-site and off-site infrastructure; service impacts will be
mitigated through a Development Agreement; mitigation requirements shall be adhered to through a site-
specific Zoning Code, Development Agreement, and permit applications. The Ordinance states that the
MPR is to be a self-contained and fully-integrated planned unit development, in a setting of significant
natural amenities, with primary focus on destination resort facilities consisting of short-term visitor
accommodations. An lS-hole golf course and up to 890 residential units were approved with the MPR
designation. No more than 10 percent of total residentiai units are to be permanently occupied, and short-
term residential units must at all times be not less than 65 percent of total residential units.
The Master Planned Resort designation was approved for the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Black Point
property owned by Statesman east of U.S. Highway 101r, subject to 30 conditions imposed by Jefferson
County Ordinance No. 02-0128-08. The BoCC conditions were imposed through the County's legislative
authority under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), as well as the Board's general
police power as a legislative body for the purpose of mitigating potential significant adverse impacts to
the environment, adjacent land use, the existing transportation system, capital facilities, utilities, parks,
and public services. BoCC conditions imposed to mitigate potential adverse impacts related to _ are
discussed in this technical report.
fNote: Each technical report author to fill in the blantri above. Review 1l20l09 "Table of Contents and
BoCC Conditions" distributed at Team meeting last summer fbr this information; scanned version
provided with July 2010 distribution of alternative site plans and project infonnation.]
Suppr-BUTNTAL EIS Rnqunoo
Prior to entering into a Development Agreement with Statesman Corporation, and prior to adopting a site-
specific Zoning Ordinance for the MPR site, Jefferson County requires preparation of a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEiS). The SEIS will provide project-level environmental review to
supplement prograrnmatic environmental review completed with the November 27,2007 FEIS. MPR land
use alternatives were evaluated in the programmatic EIS; therefore, the SEIS evaluates altemative site
The MPR designation also encompasses a Bed-and-Breakfast House owned by others.

plans for developing a Master Planned Resort on the site, each of which would include the features
previously approved in principle by the BoCC: an l8-hole golf course and up to 890 residential units
(predominantly for shortterm visitor use).
[Note: Each technical reporl author should add a separate paragraph at this point to describe teclinical
report(s) they previously prepared tbr the same element of the environment, in support of the November
2007 programmatic EIS. This paragpaph should explain how/whether the content of their 2010 expounds
on tlre 2006-2001 document, which may have provided baseline information, for example.]
DTSCRTpTION OF THE MPR PnOpOSAL AND ALrrRNRrrvBS
The site plan alternatives being evaluated in the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort SEIS include the
proposal illustrated and evaluated in the FEIS (Altemative 1); a revised site plan developed during 2008-
2009 to make more efficient use of the site, to minimize environmental impacts, and to address BoCC
conditions of approval (Alternative 2); and the current (2011) site plan revised from the Alternative 2
version, predominantly in response to the Jefferson County locally-approved Shoreline Master Program
(SMP) update (December 2010) that increases the Shoreline buffer in the Marina/Maritime Village area
from 30 feet to 150 feet. More descriptive information about each alternative is provided below and in a
Comparison of Altematives table.
Features Common to Any Action Alternative
Each of the site pian alternatives includes an 1S-hole golf course, 890 residential units, and commercial
development for resort-related services within the Pleasant Harbor MPR. The location, configuration,
type and number of residential units and commercial space differ somewhat between the alternatives, as
do the amenities to be provided within the development. Structures within the existing Pleasant Harbor
Marina would be renovated or replaced, depending on the alternative selected.
Under any alternative, improvements would be made to Black Point Road, and to the intersection of
Black Point Road with U.S. Highway 101. A 12-ft wide (with turn-outs) Marina Access Drive would be
improved parallel to the east side of U.S. Highway 101 between Black Point Road and the existing
marina. In order to keep Resort traffic internai to the site to the maximum extent practicable, the Marina
Access Drive would be used by visitors to travel between the main entrance parking lot and the marina.
This drive would accommodate two-way shuttle vehicle service and emergency vehicle access between
Black Point Road and the marina. Access to the Golf Course/Golf Resort from Black Point Road would
be controlled by a gate with a guard house.
Parking for slip owners and Resort visitors would be created at the intersection of Black Point Road with
U.S. Highway 101, with shuttle service from the parking area to the marina using the Marina Access
Drive. The existing real estate office at this intersection would be eliminated. Provisions would be made
for this use within the commercial space of the Maritime Village. Other types of commercial uses
anticipated within the Marina Village include a possible restaurant, dive shop, sightseeing cruises, gifts,
and an upgxaded grocery store/convenience store and deli.
The proposed architectural concept for the buildings within the Marina/Maritime Village is a Cape Cod
waterfront style incorporating some stone and cedar accents. Buildings in the Golf Resort, integrated
around the golf course, are proposed in the style of a rustic mountain resort with stone detailing, cedar
accents, and high gabled roof elements.
4 2/01/1 1: v15
Under any site plan alternative, the main building at the Golf Resort would be the Golf Terrace and
Conference Center/Spa. At four stories in height (approximately 48 feet) and located at approximately
elevation 250 feet mean sea ievel (msl), this would be the tallest building within the development. A 3-
story Maintenance Building with Staff Quarters to be provided near the gated entry to the development is
also a consistent feature of proposed development under any action alternative. The maintenance portion
of this building would provide ground-level golf cart and mower storage and servicing and maintenance
supplies for the grounds and golf course. Residential units (52) in the upper two stories would provide
housing for employees. Employee parking would be provided in a surface lot associated with the
Maintenance Building/Staff Quarters.
The Master Planned Resort would be mostly self-sufficient with regard to utilities. An on-site wastewater
treatment plant is proposed, capable of producing Class A reclaimed water for beneficial reuse within the
development. Statesman Corporation received approval of water rights from the Washington Department
of Ecology on June 15, 2010 to serve the site. One or more wells and a water storage tank will be
cornpleted on the property. Stormwater management systems for the control and treatment of runoff
during construction and in the corrpleted condition of the development would be provided on the site in
accordance with the Washington Department of Ecology 2005 Stormwater Management Manual /br
Western Washington.
Under any alternative site plan, golf course fairways would be located in areas of permeable soils to allow
for infiltration of stormwater runoff to recharge the local groundwater aquifer. The first nine golf course
fairways would be developed along the eastern side of the peninsula. The second nine fairways would be
developed along the south and west sides of the property. Portions of the area to be used for Golf Course
development would be left undeveloped (or restored) for the retention of wetlands and buffers, and for
storage of golf course irrigation water (Class A reclaimed water from the wastewater treatment plant
process, and site runoff directed to Kettle B). Existing local depressions throughout the site would be used
to collect and retain runoff for infiltration.
The proposal includes preserving a riparian buffer along the south/southwest bluff of the peninsula. This
buffer would permanently preserve the 200-ft wide Shoreline Environment and a steep slope setback (up
to an additional 35 feet wide in places) in a conservation easement to be administered by one or more
local Tribes.
Alternative I
Altemative 1 for development of the Master Planned Resort is the site plan described, illustrated, and
evaluated inthe Final Environmental Impact Statement IFEIS]/or the Proposed Brinnon Master Planned
Resort (November 27,2007). This Alternative is distinguished by intensive redevelopment in the
Marina/Maritime Village area and a large number of relatively small residential structures in the Golf
Course/Golf Resort area of the site. See the Alternative I figures: Overall Site, Marina Village and Golf
Course/Resort (January 3 1, 201 1).
fNote: Each consultant may want to assign and refer to Figure numbers for the alternative site plans, in-
sequence within their report.]
The Alternative 1 development proposal for the Marina,rMaritime Village area includes l5l residential
units and 16,000 sf of commercial space within 14 buildings adjacent to the shoreline, to replace upland
improvements associated with the existing marina. Existing buildings at the waterfront and the two
existing residences south of the marina (the Pleasant Harbor House owned by Statesman Corporation, and
the Bed-and-Breakfast House owned by others) would be demolished and replaced with new multiple-
2/01/1 I : vI55
unit residential buildings. The new Marina Village would consist of four 4-story buildings that would
contain retail and interior parking on the main floor with 48 Marina Villa apartments, 40 Marina
Townhomes and additional parking in the three stories above. All residential units and commercial spaces
would be built into the hillside, overlooking the marina. The main access to the Marina/Maritime Village
would be a new Marina Access Drive constructed in a northeasterly direction from the intersection of
Black Point Road with U.S. Highway 10i. The existing marina access road between the shoreline and the
grocery store/convenience store/deli would be improved to create a 15-ft wide promenade between new
buildings and the waterfront for pedestrian and emergency vehicle access. A new one-way road system
would be built for northbound access from Black Point Road down through the Marina Village then (a
two-way road) up to U.S. Highway 101 using the existing roadway at the north end of the site. A new
swimming pool and amenity building for slip owners would be located north of the Marina Village to
replace the existing pool and change rooms south of the grocery store/convenience store/deli and office.
The Alternative 1 proposal for the shoreline area south of the existing Pleasant Harbor House includes 33
residential units in Marina Stepped and Stacked Townhome buildings, and 30 Marina Rowhouses. The
Marina Rowhouses would be two stories in height in six buildings of 4 or 6 units each. The Marina
Stepped/Stacked buildings would consist of four 4-story residential structures built down into the hillside.
These buildings would be accessed by a separate roadway system flanked with parking lots.
The Alternative 1 proposal for the Golf CourseiGolf Resort area of the site includes 739 units within 124
buildings, the lS-hole golf course, and a Turn Building housed with the wastewater treatment plant near
the southeast corner of the site. The 4-story Golf Terrace and Conference/Spa Center would contain 128
residential units and 36,000 sf of commercial space. Uses planned for the commercial space include a
restaurant, spa, conference and meeting rooms, and a pro shop on the lower level adjacent to Fairway #1.
Surface parking lots would be provided for both tenants of the residential units and golf course visitors.
The Black Point Townhomes would contain 462 units in 111 two-story buildings parallel to the proposed
internal roadway system. These buildings would have an underground parkade that would provide two
parking stalls per residential unit. The Alternative 1 Black Point Villas would contain 97 residential units
in eleven 1- and 2-story buildings with an underground parkade. The length of the Alternative 1 internal
road system from Black Point Road through the Golf Resort would be approximately 13,125lineal feet
(10.
Alternative 2
The Alternative 2 site plan was modified to respond to the 30 BoCC conditions imposed on the MPR
development by Ordinance No. 02-0128-08, and to improve constructability by refining the grading plan.
The number of buildings (and thus residential units) within the Marina/\zlaritime Village area was reduced
compared to Altemative 1. A corresponding number of residential units were transferred to the Golf
Course/Golf Resort side by introducing three additional 4-story buildings. ln addition, the gated entrance
to the Golf Course/Golf Resort area was relocated to the northeast side of the peninsula property off
Black Point Road, and the wastewater treatment plant was relocated to the northwest corner of the Golf
Course/Golf Resort area. Under Alternative 2, Black Point Road would be improved from U.S. Highway
101 to the proposed site entrance at the northeast corner of the Golf Course/Golf Resort. See Alternative 2
figures: Overall Site, Marina Village and Golf Course/Resort (January 31, 2011).
The number of Maritime Village buildings is reduced in Alternative 2 (compared to Alternative 1) to one
4-story building and one 3-story building. The 4-story building would contain 49 residential units with
17,000 sf of commercial space on the main floor and parking on the lower three floors. The 3-story
building would contain six 2-story units on the second and third floors with a restaurant and yacht club on
the main floor. An improved waterfront promenade would provide pedestrian and emergency vehicle
6 2/01/11:v15
access, similar to Altemative 1. The existing swimming pool and change room building would remain as-
is. The proposed one-way access drive from Black Point Road to the marina would be the same as
Alternative 1. The Pleasant Harbor House would be retained, but the Bed-and-Breakfast Harbor House
would be acquired and removed. ln its place and extending further south, six buildings Sea View Chalets
(one story with basements) would be constructed (26 residential units) in place of the Manna
Stepped/Stacked and Rowhouse buildings of Altemative l. Access to the Sea View Chalets would be
from the Marina Access Drive (same as Alternative 1). Parking for these units would be provided in
driveways.
The Alternative 2 main access to the Golf Course/Golf Resort area would be at the northeast corner of the
site from Black Point Road. The Maintenance Building and Staff Quarters would be located near this
entrance. With the addition of three new Golf Terrace buildings in Alternative 2, the total number of
individual buildings would be less in Altemative 2 than Altemative 1. The new 4-story Golf Terrace
buildings would contain 338 residential units with underground and surface parking lots. The Golf
Terrace 1 building would be larger in size compared to Alternative 1, and would contain 154 residential
units, 36,000 sf of commercial space, and underground parking. Parking within the structure would result
in a reduced requirement for the size of surface parking lots. Amenities within the Alternative 2 Golf
Terrace 1 building would include a restaurant and lounge, conference and meeting rooms, chapel,
billiards and game room, spa and exercise center, and the golf course pro shop. The Black Point Villa
unit-type in Alternative 1 would be replaced by Sea View Villas in Alternative 2 (72 residential units
compared with 97 villas in Alternative 1). The Black Point Townhome unit-type in Altemative i would
be replaced by Golf Vistas in Alternative 2, with a reduction in the number of this unit type from 462
units in Alternative I to 192 units in Alternative 2. The 49 remaining buildings in the Golf Course/Golf
Resort area would provide a total of 808 residential units and front on the internal road system. The
internal road system in Alternative 2 (approximately 10,600 iineal feet) would be reduced in length
compared to Alternative 1. Golf course fairway configurations are adjusted only slightly from Alternative
1, and a tennis court would be added adjacent to the Golf Terrace 2 building.
Innovative measures for conservation of electrical power and golf course/landscaping management were
introduced by Statesman Corporation in the Alternative 2 development concept. Geothermal units were
proposed attached to heat pumps, and EarthRenew organic matter fetilizer became a significant element
of the proposal for soil amendment and nutrient input to the golf course and landscaped areas in lieu of
synthetic fertilizers.
Alternative 3
The Alternative 3 site plan was modified in response to the Jefferson County locally-approved Shoreline
Master Program (SMP) update (December 2010), that requires a 150-ft shoreline buffer in the marina
upland area compared to the 30-ft setback in the adopted Shoreline Master Program (1989; revised 1993,
1996, and 1998) at the time the Alternative 1 conceptual site plan was prepared. The substantial shoreline
buffer (i.e., an area where no new structures would be allowed) significantly modified the Marina
Center/Itlaritime Village development concept for the Master Planned Resort. See the Alternative 3
figures: Overall Site, Maritime Village and Golf Course/Resort (January 31,2011).
Redevelopment for maintenance, repair and renovation is now limited to occur within existing building
footprints in the Marina Center (marina upland) area. Therefore, residential and commercial development
contemplated in the Alternative I and 2 site plans for this area is relocated in the Altemative 3 site plan to
a new 3-story building proposed at the intersection of Black Point Road with U.S. Highway 101. A new
Marina Lofts building at the intersection would include 36 residential units on the east (rear) side of the
building with two stories (12,500 sf) of commercial space at the front (west side, facing U.S. Highway
2/01/11: v157
101). Parking would be provided in surface parking lots at this intersection for visitors, residents and
marina slip owners. An increase in surface parking would be created on the north side of Black Point
Road by a more southerly realignment of the Black Point Road./U.S. Highway 10 intersection in
Aiternative 3. Sea View Chalets would be eliminated from the site plan on the north side of Black Point
Road in Altemative 3. A new residential+ype structure is proposed in this area of the Alternative 3 site
plan to accommodate group gatherings. Two of these buildings are proposed: Reunion House and Harbor
View House. They would provide a common area and kitchen facilities for rental residents staying in 12
individual rooms. The Marina Access Drive would be upgraded to provide access to these two buildings.
The Bed-and-Breakfast Harbor House owned by others would remain, with a corresponding minor
reduction in the overall developable land area within the MPR compared to Altemative 1 or 2. The
Pleasant Harbor House owned by Statesman Corporation may be renovated with no change to the
footprint of the structure. The existing swimming pool and change room building for marina slip owners
would be retained with minor modifications, or reconstructed. Existing buildings in the marina upland
area would be reconstructed within their existing footprints to house the marina office, a bistro/lounge,
showers, washrooms, and self-service laundry. The existing roadway system and parking areas at the
waterfront would be widened and improved to provide better curve radii. This would improve safety and
ease of access for large vehicles like garbage collection trucks and emergency vehicles, and provide better
corurectivity for boaters between short-term parking and the head of docks for transport between their
vehicles and their boats. The one-way access (Marina Access Drive) from Black Point Road to the
waterfront proposed with Altemative 1 or 2 would be used in Alternative 3 for two-way shuttle service
and emergency vehicle access between the Maritime Village improvements at the Black Point Road/U.S.
Highway 101 intersection and the marina. The total number of residential units within the Maritime
Village area of the MPR would be reduced to 60 new units in three new buildings, and the existing
Pleasant Harbor House, and the Bed-and-Breakfast House (owned by others).
Residential units would be increased by 20 in the Golf Course/Golf Resort area, transferred from reduced
development in the Marina/Maritime Viilage area of the site. A new unit tlpe is also proposed with
Alternative 3, changing the ratio of the two smaller building types. Eight residential units wouid be
relocated to the Golf Terrace 3 building, and 12 residential units would be integrated into the Golf Vistas
and Sea View Villas. The Sea View Villas would be l-story walk-out units in Alternative 3, narrower
than the Sea View Villas of Alternative 2 and with an underground parkade. There would be 828
residential units within 49 buildings in the Golf Course/Golf Resort area in Alternative 3. Golf Course
fairways would be the same as Alternative 2. An additional tennis court would be provided next to the
Golf Terrace 3 and 4 buildings and a swimming pool would be added next to Golf Terrace 3 building.
Other Alternative 3 recreational amenities proposed adjacent to the Golf Terrace 1 building include a
Bocce Ball court, pool and deck area.
The Alternative 3 on-site electrical power generation proposal would utilize an integrated system of
geothermal (geo-exchange) technology and combined heat and powff (CHP) derived from co-generation
systems fueled by biodiesel. Solar power options are also being explored.
The landscaping proposal includes revegetating disturbed areas using healthy trees and shrubs from areas
of the site that will be cleared. Consideration will be given to the use of native vegetation as well as
ornamental shrubs, perennials and annuals in select locations at the Marina Center, Maritime Village,
Terrace Buildings, and along meandering pathways. Landscape restoration in the Marina Center (marina
upland) area of the site is planned to create a parkJike setting with amenities for seating and sun-rain
protection. The proposal includes creating a temporary native plant nursery south of the wastewater
treatment plant site in the area of Fairways 15, 16 and 17, as these fairways will be developed during
Stage II construction. A sprinkler irrigation system using Class A reclaimed water generated by the
2/01/11:v15B
a
treatment process will be installed to temporarily maintain plants kept in this area for relocation during
phased development of the site.
No ACTI0N ALTERNATIVE
If the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort did not proceed, it is presumed (based on the
Comprehensive Plan MPR designation for the property and absence of site-specific zoning), that the site
would not be further developed at this time. The owner would continue to operate the 286-be(h marina
and could perform maintenance, repair and replacement on existing improvements until a Master Planned
Resort could be successfully implemented, either by the present owner or by others. Campground use of
the Black Point Peninsula property could resume under an existing Conditional Use permit.
PUaSpn DPvuOpu ENT PROPOSAL
Statesman Corporation proposes to complete the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort over the course
of approximately 10 years, or in response to market demand.
STAGE I: Phase 1
Begin clearing drainage basins that produce no runoff that leaves the site (Basins 4,5,'7,13, and 14)
and that will provide excavated material for construction aggregates material processing or for mass
fill of Kettles B and C. The entire Kettle B area will be cleared. Large areas where deep excavation is
proposed lie to the south, west, and north of the kettle. Kettle B will receive approximately 1,000,000
cy of fill before it can be finish-graded and lined with synthetic liners to stafi receiving site runoff and
Class A effluent from the wastewater treatment plant. Liners could be installed during the wet season,
though dry season installation is preferred. Channels and culverts to be constructed will convey
surface water runoff overflows to infiltration areas within golf course fairways.
Place erosion control measures and perhaps redirect runoff into the large kettle (Kettle B) prior to
clearing and rough-grading to create the construction aggregates material processing site/plant(s). The
relatively flat, centrally-located site proposed for materials processing is at the base of one of several
40+ foot cut areas. This will be the source of construction materials and filI material for early portions
of the project. As excavation progresses and runoff is directed northward, Drainage Basin 13 will be
expanded to the south which will allow for additional clearing. If clearing is limited to the south edge
of the Drainage Basin 13, work could progress into the wet season. Existing roads on the site could be
used to transport materials.
Build the construction aggregates material processing plant and begin operations
Construct the 260,000 gallon underground water storage facility and water piping to the existing well.
Rough grade the resort road from the water storage facility to Black Point Road. lnstall water main
and sewer piping from the water storage facility to Black Point Road in the resort road alignment.
Install erosion control measures along the base of the wastewater treatment plant site prior to clearing.
Place fill material behind a retaining wall to create the site for construction of the wastewater
treatment plant. Construct the treatment plant. Construct the co-generation unit to power the treatment
plant.

STAGE I: Phase 2
Develop the second on-site well. Connect the well to the domestic water distribution system as soon
as practicable after rough grading the areas through which this piping must pass.
Place erosion control measures at the edge of the buffer along the east property line of the Maritime
Village area of the site prior to clearing. Grade the building, parking, and entry roads to prepare this
area for construction.
lnstall erosion control measures along the existing (unpaved) marina access drive that parallels U.S
Highway 101.

a
Widen and reconstruct the Marina Access Drive between Black Point Road and the marina.
Install erosion control measures, implement traffic controls, and relocate utilities in preparation for
constructing improvements to the Black Point Road./U.S. Highway 101 intersection relocation and
expansion. Reconstruct and realign Black Point Road and expand U.S. Highway 101. Underground
utility services must cross Black Point Road. The WDFW boat launch access road intersection with
Black Point Road will be reconfigured and reconstructed concurrent with the Black Point Road/U.S.
Highway 101 intersection reconstruction.
Install the sewage collection system, water distribution/temporary fire protection system, reuse water
systems, electrical power transmission, and communications facilities to serve the wastewater
treatment plant, the marina area, and Maritime Village Building.
Construct Maritime Village building, Harbor View House, Reunion House, roads, utilities, and
parking lots.
Widen existing roadways to 20 feet for two-way and 12 feet for one-way travel, and provide turn-
arounds. Construct a new section of road between the existing marina access road and upper parking
area to increase the curve radius for larger vehicles (including firefighting equipment.
Clear and excavate the small "hill" from U.S. Highway 101 on the north side of the marina access
road to improve sight distance and visibility for entering vehicles.
o Relocate the fuel storage tanks and equipment closer to U.S. Highway l0l, near the unused pool.
STAGE I: Phase 3
o Relocate existing marina office, convenience store, deli, and self-service laundry to the new Maritime
Village building.
. RemodeUreconstruct the Marina Center (marina upland) commercial uses.
. RemodeUreconstruct existing swimming pool and change building at the marina.
l0 2/01/11: v15
a
a Install sewage pumps and forcemains to convey sewage from the marina and marina upland facilities
to the wastewater treatment plant. Abandon the existing septic tank drainfield that now serves the
marina buildings and moored vessels.
STAGE II: Phase I
Construct the wetland in the bottom of the south kettle (Kettle C). This kettle is to be converted to a
created wetiand with an enhanced buffer. The bottom of the basin will be filled approximately 30 feet
to create a relatively level wetland. Fill materials will be selected from on-site materials that have low
permeability, such as those that may be found in the existing wetland to be filled in the large kettle
(Kettle B). Buffer enhancement may take the form of clearing invasive plant species and replacement
with native plant material harvested from the site or purchased from local nurseries. Temporary
irrigation may be required for the wetland and the buffer plantings to improve the survival rate during
the first growing season. The existing closed drainage basin and the drainage basin created in the
developed condition around Kettle C will provide and maintain hydrology for the created wetland.
When wetland creation in Kettle C is complete, construct a fence around the buffer edge to prevent
construction activities and resort visitors from entering and potentially damaging the wetland and
buffer vegetation.
Place erosion control measures along the east property line buffer of the Golf Course/Golf Resort area
of the site near Black Point Road to prepare this area for construction of the Golf Terrace 1 access
road. Excavated materials from the Maintenance Building/Staff Quarters area and from Fairways 3
and 4 could be used to construct this road embankment. Install the storm drainage system within the
road to direct runoff to stormwater treatment and detention facilities.
Complete the Golf Terrace I building pad and associated parking areas. This construction may not
require significant additional erosion control measures since the runoff can be directed to the enclosed
drainage basin to the south.
Install the sewage collection system, water distribution system, fire protection system (a function of
the fairway/landscape irrigation system), reuse water systems, power transmission, and
communications facilities to serve the Golf Terrace 1 building, and the Maintenance Building/Staff
Quarters.
Install erosion control measures and clear sufficient area during the dry season to rough-grade
Fairways 11 and 1,2 and construct the embankment for Fairway 10, including two lined detention
ponds. This embankment will create building sites for the Sea View Villas, and significant portions of
Fairways 7 and 8. This grading will form Drainage Basins 8 and 9. Large areas of excavation lie to
the east and west of Fairway 10 and the building site to the north. These detention ponds will be lined
with synthetic liners to prevent saturation of the embankment. Pumps will be permanently installed
adjacent to these ponds to move collected runoff northward into the irrigation pond (Kettle B). These
pumps will be powered by cogeneration units. Construction of the embankment, ponds, pumps,
forcemains, and soil stabilization must be completed during the dry season. It might be necessary to
delay completion of Fairways 7, 8, 9, 10 and part of Fairway 11 until the dry season in the following
year.
a
a
a
a
a
a Install erosion control and wetland buffer area protection along the west side of Wetland D (along the
east property line of the Golf Course/Golf Resort area of the site) before work begins on Fairways 2,
4,5, and 6. Since this drainage basin (Basin 10) discharges to Wetland D and then offsite, it may
t1 2/01/11: vl5
a
require that clearing and grading in this area occur in the dry season. Very large subsurface
infiltration galleries are plarured beneath these fairways. Excavation depths of 20 feet will be common
within these fairways to finished grade. Cuts to 30 feet will be required in some areas. Excavations of
more than 10 feet below finished grades will be required for installation of the infiltration piping and
select backfill. These fairways will require stabilization before the wet season begins.
Fairway i, and the area north of Fairways 72,13,14,15,16,17, and 18 could be worked during wet
weather. The area north of Fairway 14 may require additional erosion control measures near the
wastewater treatment plant site in order to work during wet weather conditions. The preferred method
of fairway construction will proceed in the order of clearing and grubbing, rough grading, drainage
installation, irrigation installation, fine grading, and seeding progressing along the fairways using
specialized types of equipment. This will allow a minimum of clearing and grubbing to occur and will
reduce the amount of time the ground is not being actively worked. The fairways in many cases can
be seeded and stabilized before the wet season arrives.
Rough-grade roads, driveways, and building pads for improvements that will be made in Stage Ii
Phase 2 and Stage II Phase 3 as part of adjacent fairway construction. lnstallation of underground wet
and dry utilities can be delayed until the Stage II Phase 2 and Phase 3 building construction occurs.
Sanitary sewer service will require pumping raw sewage from the south-central portion of the site. A
pump station will be required near the south end of the pond (Kettle B).
STAGE I[: Phase 2
Instail erosion/sedimentation control measures around building construction sites to protect
completed portions of the golf course (if any). Buildings to be constructed in Stage II include Golf
Terrace 2 west of Fairway 16; Golf Terrace 3 east of Fairway 14; Golf Vistas south of Fairway l5 and
west of Fairway 18; Sea View Villas west of Fairway 18; and the Maintenance Building and Staff
Quarters north of Fairway 3.
Extend roads and utility services to the Stage II Phase 2 building sites.
Construct two sanitary sewer pump stations: one at the south end of Kettle B to serve building
construction to the northwest (Sea View Villas and Golf Vistas), and one adjacent to the Maintenance
Building/ Staff Quarters.
Construct the sanitary sewer pump station and co-generation unit at the Maintenance Building/Staff
Quarters.
Reconstruct Black Point Road from the end of Stage I Phase 2 intersection improvements east of U.S.
Highway i 01 to the resort east entrance in the northeast corner of the Golf Course/Golf Resort area of
the site. lnstall erosion/sedimentation control measures, as required.

increased on the golf course with greater emphasis
on preserving existing trees by steepening the
slopes offairway edges (roughs).
Perimeter Buffers: None, with the exception of the
south boundary of the Golf Course/Resort area of
the site. At this location, a 200-ft natural area buffer
was proposed, corresponding to the 200-ft
Shoreline Environment landward from the OHWM.
Options for preserving this buffer included a
permanent Conservation Easement, or dedication to
a Land Trust. Elsewhere on the site, roads and
development are shown very close to property
boundaries.
Perimeter Buffers: Development moved toward
the interior of the site to leave perimeter buffers
ranging from approximately 20 feet, to
approximately 235 feet along the south boundary of
the Golf Course/Resort area of the site.
Perimeter Buffers: Golf Resort - same as

This will be a comprehensive facilities plan for wastewater collection,
treatment, disposal/reuse, maintenance and operations for the resort,
including identification of the entity that will operate the
wastewater system. This report needs to be prepared for and
coordinated with State agencies as well as Jefferson County,
Not complete. Vicki to review draft General Sewer Plan by mid-fVarch.
The wastewater treatment process now proposed is a Nutrient Removal
Activated Sludge Process with Clarifiers and Class A Filtration. This will
be described as the Alternative 3 proposal. The MBR plant will be
described as the proposal with Alternative 1 or Alternative 2.
Dwight met with Ecology and Jefferson County (David Wayne Johnson)
1l13l11to present a preliminary draft GeneralSewer Plan and invite
comments/direction for completing the Plan. The County asked Dwight
to coordinate the content of the plan with Vicki.
At Garth's request (12122110), Rick began designing a more
conventional treatment system for the reclamation of wastewater to
produce Class A effluent. The alternative treatment process is proposed
to build a plant with lower capital cost and approximately a25%
electrical power savings compared to the Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
plant previously planned. Wastewater reclamation plant (WRP)site plan
modifications were made during January, requiring revisions to the
grading plan and the Alternative 3 site plan.
An SEIS information requirenrents memo is needed fronr Ricl< Esvelt to:
1) describe and evaluate the treatment process differences between the
site plan alterrratives, 2) distinguish between impacts during
construction and developed condition irnpacts, and 3) to address the
five categories of IVitigation Measures identified in Vicki's 2lO1l11
transmittal memo.
Since there will not be a completed irrigation pond in which effluent can
be discharged during the initial phases of development, interim uses for
the reclaimed water from the treatment process will include sprinkler
irrigation in the native plant nursery south of the treatment plant site,
subsurface drip irrigation systems on future fairways, and drainfields in
the west area of the site. The interim reuse and disposal options will be
described and illustrated in the draft General Sewer Plan.
Tom lt/cDonald will coordinate acquisition of the reclaimed water permit
with Rick Esvelt, Craig, and Scott Bender. The proposal (on 11113110)
was to mix reclaimed water with collected surface water runoff for use
for irrigation and fire protection, and for toilet and urinal flushing in the
Terrace 1 building. ln December, Garth asked Rick to investlgate
alternative wastewater treatment methods that would use subsurface
disposal durinq the initial phases of resort development.
The wastewater reclamation plant now proposed will still produce
reclaimed water and thus require a reclaimed water permit.

David discussed final technical report format with Stacie Hoskins and Al Scalf during a 12t07110 staff meeting and replied to Vicki that technical
reports that were vetted through the programmatic FEIS review process (related to the application for Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan
amendment to designate the site for development of a Master Planned Resort) may be completed by means of a technical memo or addendum to
the original draft report. Given the complexity and unique format of the l\Iitigation Measures to be addressed, most team members are choosing to

Vicki reiterated her inquiry in a 12121110 e-mail message to Garth
asking to know who is preparing the Co-Generation Proposal report and
when it will be available for review. Garth replied that he has asked the
manufacturer (TRI-GEN) to prepare the report. Vicki asked if the person
at TRI-GEN has been given the 5127l10 outline of information
requlrements for this report, as the manufacturer is more likely to write
specification-type information rather than the content required for
environmental review.
Not complete. A thorough description of the Co-Generation Proposal is
needed by several of the technical consultants before their draft reports
can be finalized. Don Coleman did some research on the biodiesel
proposal during February and found that it may not be feasible. Garth is
apparently talking with a new consultant re: the energy generation
proposal for the resort. The new consultant advocates that solar power
generation be emphasized, This raises a host of additional questions
and information requests to provide the analysis and explanation for lay

SEIS Scoping comments), nor have they demonstrated that the
Pleasant Harbor MPR would have significant impacts to the State Park
system to the extent that mitigation should be provided via a N/OU.
State Parks identifies shellfishing access as the primary potential
impact, and requests that this issue be addressed in the SEIS. Resort
visitors to State Parks would be assessed user fees that J.T. suggests
could be used to maintain/improve the State Park system.
J.T. Cooke and David Wayne Johnson reached agreement in late
September that a MOU with the National Park Service was not
necessary, and David was in general agreement that a ti/OU with State
Parks is also not needed. David indicated that he would follow up with
State Parks as a courtesy.
No MOU required at this time. David followed up with Randy Persons
during the last quarter ol 2010. State Parks did not subsequently follow
up with the County to request an MOU, so the County has determined
that one is not required at this time. Mr. Person's SEIS Scoping
comments will be addressed in the Draft DEIS, which will be sent to

Re: Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort Alternatives, Phasing Plans, and Supporting
Documentation - Instructions for Technical Report Cornpletion
Date: February 1,2011
Pleasant Harbor Team Members:
At long last, we have the three sets of conceptual alternative site plans and phasing plans approved by
Jefferson County to be evaluated in the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort SEIS. These will be
transmitted as attachments to four messages due to file size. This memo briefly describes the alternatives
to be evaluated in the SEIS, supporting documentation that will assist you with understanding and
describing the distinctions between alternatives, and the format for the impact analysis and mitigation
measures.
This memo is lengthy and detailed. Its purpose is to convey that all three alternative site plans and the
phasing plans need to be evaluated in your report - during construction and in the completed, operational
condition of the resort - as well as the Board of County Commissioners Conditions imposed on the
project, and mitigation commitments stated in Chapter 5 of the programmatic FEIS (November 2007).1
have provided near the end of the memo a specific suggested format for the Potential lmpacts and
Mitigation Measures sections of your report(s).

Pleasant Harbor MPR Alternatives, Phasing Plans, and Supporting Documentation
Instructtons for Technical Report Completion
February 1,201 I
CONCEPTUaL ALTERNATIVE SITE PI-,qNs AND PHASINc PLANS
The "final" set of altemative site plans reviewed and accepted by Jefferson County for use in the SEIS
analysis are dated ll3llll. The "final" set of phasingplans is also dated ll3llll.If you received earlier
versions of any of these plans, please delete them and use the ones sent with this transmittal.
Alternative I is the FEIS alternative. It was the preferred alternative identified in the 2007 programmatic
EIS on the Comprehensive Plan amendment that designates the site as a subarea for Master Planned
Resort development. County Commissioners approved (in concept) development of up to 890 residential
units and an l8-hole golf course within the MPR. For this reason, all alternatives to be evaluated in the
SEIS include these components, with efforts made to formulate a site plan that would have the least
impact on the environment (now Alternative 3).
Alternative 2 was developed during 2008-2009 to respond to the 30 conditions imposed by the Jefferson
County Board of County Commissioners (Ordinance No. 0l-0128-08), and to improve constructability by
refining the grading plan. Modifications were made in the marina upland area in response to the Planning
Commission draft Shoreline Master Program (SMP) update, which advocated a SO-tbot buffer plus 5-ft
structural setback from the ordinary high water mark. (Additional descriptive information about this
altemative and others is provided in the supporting documentation files identified below.)
The Board of County Commissioners did not accept the Planning Commission recofirmendation with
regard to the 50-ft buffer in the High lntensity Shoreline Environment, and instead adopted a 150-ft buffer
in the locally-approved Shoreline Master Program that was submitted to Ecology for review in December
2009. Alternative 3 responds to this significant buffer by proposing only repair and remodel work within
the footprint of existing structures within the Shoreline environment. Maritime Village residential units
and commercial development shown in the marina upland area in Altemative I or Alternative 2 have been
relocated to the intersection of Black Point Road with U.S. Highway 101, with some increase in the
number of residential units on the golf course/golf resort side, as well. Altemative 3 is the current
proposal and the preferred alternative.
Narrative explanations regarding the altematives are provided for your orientation. The SEIS will identify
them only as Alternative 1, Alternative 2, and Alternative 3, not by any other name.
It is important to treat each alternative individually, as only one alternative will be selected for
implementation. For example, avoid saying "all alternatives" would have some effect, or any two
aiternatives (like Alternative 1 and 2) would have the same effect. Please use the words 44y altemative,
and Alternative 1 91 2 in these examples. Please use future tense verbs (like would, could), not present
tense verbs (like rs, are), as improvements under any alternative are not yet in-place and are not yet
producing some effect.
No Action Alternative. Your technical reports and the SEIS also need to discuss the No Action
Alternative, which the County defines as: no further development at this time, as there is no site-specific
zoning in place to implement the MPR designation. The No Action Altemative presumes that the owner
would continue to operate the 286-berth marina and could perform maintenance, repair and replacement
on existing improvements in the marina upland area until a Master Planned Resort could be successfully
implemented on the site, either by the present owner or by others. Campground use of the Black Point

Peninsula property could resume under an existing Conditional Use permit.
Please make the No Action Alternative discussion meaningful rather than just saying there would be no
change from existing conditions. It is often the case that for some elements of the environment, conditions
would improve over time with no further development on the site. For other elements of the environment,
conditions may decline without the improvements proposed with the MPR. Please consider and describe
these potential effects specific to the element(s) of the natural and built environment for which you are
responsible.

Craig, Natalie and I have developed a narrative document for your use, and comparative charts that show
the distinctions between altematives. These documents will be sent as attachments to the same e-mail
message by which you receive this transmittal memo. They are listed below by file name. Please use
whatever infbrmation is helpful and relevant to your report; it is not necessary to use any of the
supporling documentation in its entirety. You undoubtedly have additional introductory and explanatory
information that is specifically relevant to your subject area. The supporting documentation is provided in
order to achieve consistency in the description of the proposal and altematives in all reports and the SEIS,
but is not intended to limit other information vou want to include.

If preliminary utilities planning has been based on a different unit mix and commercial area estimate than
shown on the ll3llll Alternative 3 site plan, please update calculations based on the site plans that will
be used in the SEIS. (Comparative calculations will be needed for all three conceptual site plan
altematives and the No Action Alternative. See explanation later in this memo.)
As indicated by the file name of the narrative document, it includes a description of the construction
sequencing proposal. You will receive a set of seven Phasing Plan drawings based on the Alternative 3
site plan: an overall phasing plan, Stage I drawings with three phases, and Stage II drawings with three
additional phases. Additional detail is provided in the narrative document. Please consider sequential
development of the site over a i0-year period in your "Potential Impacts during Construction" subsection.
Please use the nomenclature of the site plans, phasing plans, narrative document and charts as you finalize
your reports. If you have a question about what something is being called for consistency throughout the
SEIS and technical reports, send an e-mail message to Craig and me and we will respond promptly to
confirm. The County has approved referring to the project as the "Pleasant Harbor Master Planned
Resort" (or MPR), as opposed to the Brinnon MPR as it was called at the time of the FEIS. You may also
refer to the proposal as the "Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort" (consistent with the project logo).

These will be sent with the narrative document and comparative chart identified above. The LEEDS
compliance narrative, in particular, will be a source of information for describing Mitigation Measures
Proposed by the Applicant in your reports (see explanation below). If you received earlier versions of
these documents, please delete them and use the versions with the file names above.
Several other reports have been prepared or requested. These are listed in the monthly Priority Work
Items Status Report. Please review that list and let me know if you need any of these for review while you
work to complete your technical report(s).
TocsNrcu RBpoRr Couplrrrox
Most of you completed one or more draft technical reports between 2008 and 2010 that described existing
conditions (i.e., the Affected Environment) of the site for the element(s) of the environment you address,
and to some extent evaluated the potential impacts of Master Planned Resort development of the property
based on the alternative identified as preferred at the time the FEIS was prepared (which is now
Alternative i to be evaluated in the Supplemental EIS). Your draft reports were reviewed by Jefferson
County and the SEIS Peer Review Team. Their comments were distributed to you in September 2009.
Each of you reviewed and responded to those comments to confirm whether the questions and issues
raised would be addressed in your final report, or whether some additional explanation would make report
modifications unnecessary. Please locate the County and Peer Review Team comments and your
responses, and make those changes while finalizing your reports.
There was a time when I thought I would review and comment on each draft technical report to provide a
specific list of what I would like to see in the f,rnal reports to support preparation of the Supplemental EIS.
I have spent many more hours than anticipated assisting with the development of work products to
distribute to you at this time, so I did not do a detailed review of each of your reports. Rather, I decided to
describe my overall requests below with regard to the format and approach to the impact analysis and
mitigation measures, then rely on your best professional judgment for how to accomplish these requests
within your report. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything you would specifically like to
discuss with regard to my requests.
Impact Analysis
Please segregate your impact analysis discussion into two subsections:
Potential Impacts During Construction
Potential Developed-Condition Impacts
Within these subsections, please first and most thoroughly describe the potential impacts of Alternative 3,
then compare Altemative 2 and Altemative 1 to Alternative 3 and to each other.r The SEIS impact
' SEPA allows using one alternative as a benchmark for comparing altematives (WAC 197-11-aa0[5][v]).
Alternative 3 is the current proposal, most responsive to current regulations, and therefore the preferred altemative.

analysis needs to be as quantitative and specific as practicable (whereas your work for the FEIS was
relatively general due to the fact that the proposal at that time was a Comprehensive Plan amendment
rather than site development). Where quantitative impact analysis can be performed, please calculate the
impacts of Alternative 3. If it is relativeiy simple to do so (e.g., no costly modeling involved), please also
quantify the impacts of Alternative 2 and Alternative 1, or compare these to Alternative 3 and to each
other by approximate percentage ditference in impact. Let me know if you would like to see an example
text section for your element of the environment. (It will be unusual to discuss the alternatives in reverse
numerical order; i.e., from 3 to 1 rather than from I to 3, but my thoughts at this time are that we should
do this since neither Alternative I or Alternative 2 is still proposed.)
Mitigation Measures
You may recall that during our team meeting on-site July 20, 2009, I distributed a small comb-bound
document in which there was an outline of the contents of the SEIS with inserts indicating which of the
30 Board of County Commissioners conditions should be discussed under each element of the
environment. If you do not have this, let me know and I will send it to you. The purpose for the outline
notated in this manner was to assure that discussion of the proposal to comply with each of these
conditions would be complete and appropriately located in SEIS Chapter 3; BoCC conditions are not to
be the only discussion in these sections.
The July 20,2009 comb-bound document also included FEIS Chapter 5 in which mitigation commitments
were listed, to be addressed during project-level environmental review. The SEIS is project-level
environmental review, and therefore needs to acknowledge all commitments previously made for each
element of the envirorunent at the end of the progranrmatic EIS (November 2007).
A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is, to the extent practicable, a mitigation measure should be
described for every potentially adverse impact identified in the impact analysis. Conversely, I suspect that
the FEIS Chapter 5 list of mitigation measures addresses some impacts that may not have occurred to
you. Please be sure these two sections are reconciled in your reports.
There is no precedent about which I am aware for how/where to address BoCC conditions in the
conventional format of an EIS. I believe that, for the most part, these will constitute mitigation measures
for the development, so I have suggested discussing them under a subheading in this section. If you have
a different perspective while you are preparing your report, please contact me to discuss.2
Typically, the Mitigation Measures section distinguishes measures proposed by the applicant, measures
required by applicable regulations, and other possible mitigation measures the technical team may
recommend for an impact you identify that would not be addressed by either of these other two types of
mitigation. Given that we are currently preparing an SEIS that builds on commitments made in the
' I har. seen EIS text sections arranged with the subheadings: Affected Environment. The Proposal, Potential
Impacts, and Mitigation Measures, in which f'eatures proposed to comply with FEIS conditions, BoCC conditions,
and other elements of the applicant's proposal are described before the impact analysis and list of mitigation
measures. My concern here would be to avoid duplication and redundancy in subsections that describe The
Proposal. These descriptions would need to be focused only on aspects of the proposal that are relevant to the
element of the environment being evaluated, and therefore would require some skillful judgment and writing.

programmatic FEIS (November 2007), and given that we have 30 conditions with which to comply that
were imposed by the Board of County Commissioners, I have added two additional subheadings below:
Mitigation Measures - Compliance with FEIS Conditions
Mitigation Measures - Compliance with Board of County Commissioners Conditions
Mitigation Recluired by Applicable Regulations
Other Mitigation Measures Proposed by the Applicant
Other Miti gation Recommendations
Please be sure to distinguish within these subsections mitigation measures for impacts during construction
from mitigation for impacts in the developed condition of the project. If there would be some difference
in mitigation required for Alternative 2 or Alternative 1 compared to Alternative 3, please also describe
this under each subheading.
Without seeing the substance of each technical report or SEIS text section, I'm not completely clear re:
how this breakdown will work out. This is the information needed for the SEIS, so to format your
Mitigation Measures section this way would assure that all required information will be provided.
Given that the SEIS requirements may be foreign to some or most of you in terms of addressing them in
your report, here is another suggestion. You could prepare a mitigation measures section as you normaliy
would to address the Altemative 3 site plan, then provide the additional information and distinctions I
have requested above in a separate technical memo that I could use to create the SEIS text section on your
element of the environment. Please give me a call if you would like to discuss this.
Nrxr Srnps
As stated in the monthly Priority Work Items Status Report, please review the documents transmitted
today to determine whether you have any more information requirements re: the description of the
proposal and alternatives, and/or whether there is additional information you need from Garth or other
team members in order to evaluate and compare the impacts of the alternatives, formulate mitigation
measures, and hnalize your report(s). Please reply with an estimate of the completion date for your final
report, allowing for review time (described below). It is also recommended that you discuss with Garth
your remaining budget and budget requirements to complete your report(s) in the manner described in this
memo.
Final reports will be subject to review and acceptance by me, Craig, and Jefferson County, with input
from the Peer Review Team prior to them being used to prepare the SEIS. I estimate that we should allow
4 weeks for this review time and your response to comments received.
