RE: Draft SEIS
To clarify what I requested last Tuesday (L-7-L31, we have all the 4 reports below, including #3 and 4, the Wright
Johnson LLC reports from Aaron Goforth. My question is whether these two reports supercede reports #1 and 2 (the Job
Creation report and the Michael Evans EB-S report) and whether reports #1 and 2 should NOT be included in the SEIS.
To fulfill BoCC Condition 53g, we need the correct overall number of direct permanent jobs upon buildout and how
many of these jobs will earn less than SOYo of the area AMt. lf these numbers already exist, please point me to the
correct reference.
This data is one of the last items we need to complete the SEIS, along with the Water and Sewer reports.
Thank you,

I have been going through the following four reports to determine the accurate employment numbers for the Pleasant
Harbor project:
7. Job Creotion ond Value Added to the Notional Economy by an unknown author and unknown date - not
indicated on document (currently Appendix N of the Preliminary Draft SEIS - attached)
2. Economic lmpact of Developing the Pleasont Harbor Morino ond Golf Resort in Brinnon, Jefferson County, WA os
port of New EB-S Regional Center in Western Washington by Michael Evans, April 2012 (currently Appendix S of
the Preliminary Draft SEIS - too large to email - see EA ftp site or County website for document)
i. An Economic Analysis of the Regional Center Encompossing the Counties of Clollom, Jefferson ond Kitsop of the
Stote of Woshington Final Report Prepored for Puget Sound Regionol Center, LLC by Wright Johnson, LLC, August
2013 - attached
4. An Economic Analysis of Earnings Pursuont to Jefferson County Boord of County Commissioners' Condition 639
for the Pleosant Harbor Moster Plonned Resort by Wright Johnson, LLC, November 2013 - attached
Report #1 has several different employment numbers. On the Summary Table and the table of page 14, the report
indicates 268 jobs from operation of the project, of which 155.6 are direct jobs. On the Key Findings page (pg 2) and
1
page 16, the report indicates 185 direct permanent employees. Figure 4 on page 9 indicates 191 permanent operation
employees.
Report #2 indicates in its executive summary that for permanent operational employment, there will be: 48 jobs in Stage
l; 424 jobs from Stage ll, Phase 1; and 175 jobs in Stage ll, Phases 2 and 3. This totals 648 jobs. lt is unclear to me, but it
seems like this includes direct, indirect and induced employment.
Report #3 indicates in Table 2-t (pg 17) that 213.5 direct and indirect construction jobs will be created. Operational
employment does not appear to be calculated in this report.
Report #4 indicates in Table 3-1 (pg 5) that 186 direct and indirect construction jobs will be created. The report
calculates that 15 of these jobs will earn less than 80% of the Brinnon area average median income (AMl) to fulfill BoCC
Condition 53g.
As you can see from the above, several different employment numbers have been generated over the past couple of
years and it is unclear which reports may supercede others for use in the SEIS. PIease indicate any reports which no
longer should be utilized for purposes of the SEIS. Please also provide the correct overall number of direct jobs upon
buildout.
For purposes of fulfilling BoCC Condition 639, which addresses affordable housing based on permanent employment
jobs/wages, we need the total number of direct permanent jobs and how many of these iobs will earn less than 80%
of the area AMl. Report #4 only addresses construction employment.

Aaron - could you clarify if the Economic Analysis of the Regional Center Project report you drafted supersedes the
attached report? I am unsure of the author or the date, but have been told it was written in June 2012.

Sorry for the delayed response.
Attached is the report that was used with USCTS to gain Regional Center designation. I am not sure what purpose you would
like to use it for but EB_5 job studies do not typically include salary levels.

Garth,
Here is the list of outstanding items prepared by Karen (and supplemented by me) that address deficiencies to
be provided to fR to complete the Draft SEIS for Pleasant Harbor:
1. Energy Demand Memo (short memo to accompany the conceptual load spreadsheet previously
provided by Hargis on 7-3-13). The spreadsheet must be updated to reflect the revised Stage/Phase
plan that re-schedules treatment plant for later phases and combines the removal of Reunion House
and Harbor View House into re-designed Maritime Building
We provided to Karen Swenson the report from the Energy Firm of FAILSAFE CANADA lNC. who detailed the
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report prepared May 2012 which is still current in terms of the source emissions
relative to the phased development. The phasing plan should not materially impact the end result except
positively through the elimination of the Reunion House and Harbor View House.?
2. Energy Supply Report/Memo from Scott (STEVE) Taylor at the PUD regarding transmission capacity and
transformers on- and off-site.
Steve Taylor of the PUD has been asked to provide the Transmission capacity including Transformers
based on the Phasing Plan.
I have not been successful in having them provide this as an update to the phasing plan working with
Eric and Team @ Hargis Eng..
Please see if you or Eric c/o Hargis can describe for Steve c/o the PUD #1 to complete this exercise for
us.
3. Clarification of compliance with the first part of BoCC 63(9)- "The developer shall commission a study of the
number of jobs expected to be created as a direct or indirect result of the MPR that earn 80% or less of the
Brinnon area average median income (AMl).'The 2012 Jobs Study,Summary of Pleasant Hahor lmpacts: Job
Creation and Value Added to National Economy, did not include salary levels of proposed jobs and/or
comparison the the Brinnon AMl. Garth noted that "Aaron Goforth of Wright Johnson LLC would address the reports
for accuracy and proposed salaries."
This report had been completed by Aaron and his team at Wright Johnson LLC.
I am copying this email to Aaron who would be pleased to send this information from their various reports for USCIS
approvals as a Rural
Regional Center.
Please direct those responsible for this work to proceed immediately to complete these items.
Thank you.
Craig
