Pleasant Harbor SEIS
SEIS Team,
After consulting with our Peer Review team - Lloyd Skinner with ESA Adolfson and Bill Persich, Senior Engineer at Brown
& Caldwell, who did the peer review on the Wastewater Reclamation Plant Process Report, Water Supply and
Groundwater lmpact Analysis, and the Water Quality Monitoring Report - we have concluded that peer review for the
general Water and Sewer system plans do not need to occur, based upon and considering the following:
o That the inclusion of the water and sewer plans is not required within the SEIS for approval of the development
agreement, and was optional to allow the applicant and "head start" on getting approval from State Agencies by
having the SEIS establish review under SEPA.
o That the reports that were peer reviewed by Bill are consistent with the plans.
o A statement within the SEIS that the plans require approval by State Ecology and Health and are compliant with
current rules and regulations of those agencies.
o That the water system plan is consistent with the Jefferson County Coordinated Water System Plan.
o That regulations for recycling water are scheduled to change in the near future and the plans should take those
new regulations into account.
That's my take on this issue. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks!

Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf MPR - Sewer
I. Purpose of General Sewer Plan [GSPI
The Pleasant Harbor Marina does not have an up-to-date GSP. This proposed GSP is being
provided to DOE to request review and approval of planning for new coming sewer
infrastructure to service the project development for the MPR With the submittal and the
approval of a GSP, a sewer utility will be of high importance for the development. At this time,
the only sewer action for an issue is on one LOSS that is owned and operated by the Pleasant
Harbor Marina, has been used and it has serviced well with the Marina's moorage and upland
facilities. The existing operation does also have and has installed several locations for the
moorage to extract the collected sewage, which is then transferred by purnp to the upland septic
tank, then tansferred to the septic tank on shore, and then transferred by purnp to the existing
LOSS.
The Marina utility operator has made significant improvements for the existing LOSS such as
inspecting and making replacements as needed whenever found and needed for the best
conditions of the first LOSS. We note here that this GSP intends to conduct installation of a
second LOSS, which will provide a backup facility in any event that causes the current system to
need help. Additionally, the second LOSS can provide a backup to the proposed Wastewater
Reclamation Plant IWRPI should the new WRP develop problems during commissioning. Also
on the ready for problems dwing the fust two or three years of usage, as we recognize can
potentially happen.
The entire ultimate sewer system is restricted to only seryice the MPR are4 and is not authorized
to exceed that limiting boundary.

II. ORGAMZATfON: Ownershin. Manaeement. and Onerations
The infrastructure for the project development project consists of all, but not limited to, facilities

C. Pedestrian and bicycle hard trails Access
D. Pedestrian soft trails
E. ADA Handicap Facilities Access
F. Potable Water

Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf MPR - Sewerage Utility
GENERAL S EWER PLAN PREAMBLE
On or about 2013 May 14,lvlr. M. Garth Mann and Consultares reached agreement for
completing this General Sewer Plan engineering for the necessary planning document for review
and approval of the Washington State Deparhnent of Ecology to assrue proper facilities and
installations provide the qualrty of environmental conditions any such sewer system should have.
If the GSP is approved by DOE, it also has determined that the proposed sewer system is
considered to be adequate for installation after proper preparation of professional engineering
design and submittal to DOE of construction plans and specifications.
The Executive Summary opens with a description of the whole of the Project by The Statesman
Group, Development Owner, Mr. M. Garth Mann. This General Sewer Plan [GSP] identifies
analyses, pro's and conos, provides key maps for visual understanding, presents the findings,
determines conclusions, provides recommendations of facilities, and presents the Total Sewer
Project Cost Estimate to achieve ultimate build-out. Further, the GSP estimates a potential
sunmary schedule that begins with this General Sewer Plan, and ends with wastewater service
connections to each structure planned which brings the wastewater sewer utility into operations.
The appendicas to this document are found in a section primarily for references that holds a
number of reports as prepared and completed by consultants retained by The Statesman Group,
and holds some govemmental documents as produced by govemmental jurisdictions, including
portions of the Revised Code of Washington [RCW's], portions of the Washington
Adminishative Code [WAC's], and portions of the Jefferson County Ordinance approving the
MPR that are specifically pertinent to the preparation of this GSP, along with other agencies
providing guidauce in utilities planning and design.
Following this preamble and next the Executive Summary section of this GSP, is a list of
regulatory obligations in the prepamtion of the document. Please note also that while the
regulations are generally the same or similar, we have for clarity purposes shown both the
WAC's and the DOE "Orange Book" when the two sets of regulations have differing language.

Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf MPR - Sewerage Utility
Executive Summary
This Document is pre-destined to be submitted to the Washington State Deparhnent of Ecology,
Southwest District, Tumwater, WA. When the submittal is made to the DOE, a well experienced
Mr. David Doughedy, PE, Environmental Engineer for the DOE, will be the leader on review of the
Pleasant Harbor General Sewer Plan.
The PH Resort is located approximately at the middle on the west bank of the Hood Canal, on
Black Point which consist of several hundred acres. The MPR consumes a245 acres portion of
land located along the west portion the Black Point peninsula, This land previously was used as
a vacation grounds for carnping and leisure. At present, the camp grounds are vacated and no
activity is present.
The development planned for the Pleasant Harbor Marina and for the Golf Course, all supported
by significant number of residential condominium units, along with plenty of day(s) rentals, and
all such development is conditioned by the Jefferson County Master Planned Resort by
Ordinance of the Board of Jefferson County Commissioners. The Wastewater Reclamation Plant
is not permitted for discharge in any way into the Hood Canal. The Wastewater Reclamation
Plant will produce a Class A discharge, however, the produced Class A treated wastewater is to
be delivered to a surface storage release into Kettle B. Kettle B will be storage for fire
suppressiorq irrigation, and Smartfire activities.
The Jefferson County Ordinance established the limited key amount for the consumption water
utility, which then imposes a limit on the sewer utility. As a result, the planned Wastewater
Reclamation Plant has been designed size for ultimate use, however there are three phases of
construction to reach the ultimate use. Its ultimate capacrty will be approximately 100,000
gallons per day. Its phase 1 cost of construction is estimated at $5,800,000, with an ultimate
project cost of approximately $8,200,0001.
The sewer system of piping and some pump stations, is estimated at $750,000, and will be
installed consistent with the schedule of facilities being constructed as needed for collection and
transmission to service each new structure.
The storage of Class A water as produced by the WRP, and rainfall runoffon the site, will be
stored and used for fire suppression, and this fire suppression utility will be a separate utility.
Neither sewage nor fire suppression shall be linked in any fashion.
