I refer you to the letter I attached to my original request: "We inadvertently referenced the document we were
requesting review on as a "Draft Water Quality MOU." It is a draft plan and apologize for any confusion this
may have caused."
So, you've asked for review of this plan by at least one outside party (PGST). That makes it a public
document. The letter apparently was reviewed by county legal staff, according to other documents we have
received. We didn't just ask for the plan, we asked for all recordsrelated to it. We already have some of the
documents, so know they exist.

Water Oualitv Monitorine Plan
Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners Ordinance No. 0l-0128-08 (63-r) requires the
Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort to prepare and implement a Water Quality Monitoring
Plan.
"A County-based comprehensive water quality monitoring plan specific to Pleasant Harbor
requiring at least monthly water collection and testing will be developed and approved in concert
with an adaptive management program prior to any site-specific action, utilizing the best available
science and appropriate state agencies. The monitoring plan shall be funded by a yearly reserve,
paid for by Statesman that will include regular offsite sampling ofpollution, discharge, and/or
contaminant loading, in addition to any onsite monitoring program"
Consideration should be taken for the following impacts on the water quality in Pleasant Harbor
l. Private Development
a. 20 different people or agencies own the property surrounding Pleasant Harbor,
including WDFW and State Parks.
b. There are two marinas, Pleasant Harbor Marina and Home Port Marina.
c. There is a State Park public dock and a WDFW boat launch
d. There are at least 6 private docks.
e. There are at least l0 private residence structures visible from the water, including
one house owned by Pleasant Harbor Marina.
f. As offall 2010 there is ongoing construction on at least one building site on the
southeastem bluffof the harbor.
g. Vessels are sometimes anchored unattended for weeks or months in the harbor.
2. State Property
a. The new WDFW public boat launch sees increased use each year, including
extensive commercial use by Tribal fisheries.
b. With the improvements at the parking area and access to the State Park dock near
the entrance ofthe harbor, the dock attracts more visitors.
3, Pleasant Harbor Marina currently:
a. Offers the only pump out service and fuel for visiting boaters in Central Hood
Canal.
b. Enforces strict rules regarding pump out, fueling, boat maintenance and storage
within the marina property.
c. Is recognized as a Washington Clean Marina and has achieved the EnviroStar
Clean Marina certification.
4. Pleasant Harbor Marina (and Golf Resort): Proposed Improvements and Expansion
a. The proposed Master Planned Resort development will not increase the number of
moorage slips.
b. Fuel dock and fuel systems have been replaced and improved to meet strict
environmental requirements.
c. The Marine Sewage Pump Out system has been replaced and improved to offer
more pump out stations and more reliable equipment to the public.
d. Pleasant Harbor Marina strictly enforces Best Management Practices (BMP's)
including a no discharge policy concerning black water, contaminated bilge water,
fuel, oil or any other chemicals hazardous to the environment.

Water Quality Monitoring Plan
June 8, 201 I
e. Pleasant Harbor Marina currently publishes a monthly newsletter with information
reinforcing the BMP's of the Marina-
f. The Resort Development will follow strict environmental standards during and
after construction.
In the context ofthe affected environment described above, the Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf
Resort proposes to participate in a program to monitor the impact ofdevelopments, both private
and public, to the water quality of Pleasant Harbor.
Performance Standards
Performance standards will meet Washington State Ecology requirements per WAC 173-
201A. WAC 173-2014-600 (l)(a)(iv) designates all fresh waters that are hibutaries to
extraordinary quality marine water, which Hood Canal is so designated, as core summer
salmonid habitat for aquatic life 'tses. (Methodolog', and Quality Assurance guidelines will be
established and submitted to Jefferson County Water Quality Department for approval after
the requirements and criteria for this program are approved).
Initial test sites will be the five [ites btrq*,1 qt Flg]trC ? QCge j) _o.t Appel4il 2 of the 2007
DEIS (copy attached). Sampling is currently being done in other loCations 6y otnei agenciei,
to avoid duplication ofeffort data from other agencies may be used ifpossible, Ifnecessary a
sample site between the Duckabush River and Quatsap Point will be added.

locations in Pleasant Harbor based on WAC 173-201A-210.

Water Quality Monitoring Plan

Schedule
The Resort proposes to coordinate with Jefferson County Water Quality Department, Washington
State Department of Health, the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group and the University of
Washington to verify acceptable $tandards Sr Pleasqt {arb.of, ftrS gyqrgfl 94y!1o4merl!4! he?!!h
ofHood Canal can fluctuate greatly from year to year and season to season depending on a
number of factors including rainfall, temperature, wind, influx of ocean water, stratification and
currents. Water quality can be dramatically different from southern Hood Canal near Belfair,
Hoodsport, Hamma Hamm4 Dabob Bay and Seabeck. The samples taken in Pleasant Harbor
should be compared with samples taken in the central part ofHood Canal considering the overall
environmental situation at the time the samples are taken. [tistoricA $a-plgs S{,d.4lS!r]gqiq!! ----
should be compared with Jefferson County Water Quality data to help accurately evaluate any
changes in sample data from test to test.
Jefferson County Water Quality Department will receive quarterly reports and will be notified
immediately of any unacceptable results. In the event that lunacceptable [99! lggglts qrg fSU4C, eU, - - --
property owners surrounding Pleasant Harbor shall be considered partners and act to identify as
closely as possible the source and cause. Additional sampling may be needed to identify the
source, expense for additional sampling will be the responsibility ofthe property owner ofthe
suspected source.
Adaptive Management
This water quality monitoring plan may be modified based on an analysis of results, comparison
of existing data sources and consultation with Jefferson County. Altemative management
decisions will be addressed as more project details develop and as results are analyzed. The
monitoring plan may be revised over time so that it remains effective and reflects industry
standards. Examples ofrevisions that may be addressed include
. Sampling sites may be added or removed depending on appropriateness of sampling
locations to final design
o Monitoring schedule may be modified based on the evaluation of results
o Updated or improved sampling techniques based on new technology
o Revise parameters to reflect changes in existing environmental concems
