Washington State Department of Transportation - NEWS WSDOT Headquarters— PO Box 47322—Olympia, WA 98504-7322—360-705-7000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 1, 2021 Contacts: Sreenath Gangula, Transportation Safety and Systems Analysis, 360-705-6888 John Milton, Director of Transportation Safety and Systems Analysis, 360-704-6363 WSDOT's multimodal mobility analysis reporting moves to an interactive, online dashboard OLYMPIA—People use the transportation system in different ways and to better understand how, the Washington State Department of Transportation is shifting its analysis from a print publication to a fully interactive, online dashboard. WSDOT's recently released Multimodal Mobility Dashboard delivers annual performance data and multi-year and annual trends for numerous travel modes on select state-owned facilities. Included are user-friendly features that include accessible, interactive data visualizations and maps. In addition to highway travel information, the dashboard format provides quick access to performance information for areas ranging from public transportation to WSDOT's Incident Response program while providing in-depth analysis of multimodal freight mobility, Amtrak Cascades, Washington State Ferries, walking and bikingas well as from airports statewide. wa g rp Currently, data compiled is through 2019. Data for 2020 will be added in the next update, which is currently scheduled for winter 2021. For some measures, daily data from March 2020 through the present is available in WSDOT's COVID-19 Transportation System Performance Dashboard, which shows the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Washington's multimodal transportation system. Highlights from the Multimodal Mobility Dashboard include: • In 2019, 35.4 billion vehicle miles were traveled on state highways • Washington public transportation users took 239.9 million trips in 2019 • Washington State Ferries carried 24.3 million riders in 2019 • Amtrak Cascades trains carried 7,100 bicycles in 2019 The Multimodal Mobility Dashboard achieves goals set forth in a 2019 comprehensive engagement process, which helped WSDOT determine how to best meet stakeholder needs for system reporting. The process included interviews with over 130 internal and external stakeholders and made a strong case for moving away 1 from a text-heavy document to a more streamlined, accessible online version that also allows users to download all data and charts in a variety of formats. Additional information about WSDOT performance reporting, including the new Multimodal Mobility Dashboard, is available on WSDOT's Accountability webpage.

Senators Van De Wege & Muzzall, Representatives Chapman, Tharinger, Paul, & Gilday, Commissioners Dean, Eisenhour, &Brotherton, Mayors Sandoval and Hughes, and Port Townsend& Coupeville Councilmembers, Good afternoon. As I emailed last week we would, our service restoration team has done a thorough examination of restoring suspended last roundtrip sailings, specifically on the Port Townsend/Coupeville route. Unfortunately, due to crewing, that won't be possible at this time. Because we expected to go to two-boat service last weekend, having a second boat on the route for additional service,we put out bids for the first boat as part time, with the shift, ending at 9.55pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Per our collective bargaining agreements, to address seniority requirements, re-bidding to add the extra roundtrip means a system-wide re-bid, which couldn't be until August. On a more positive note, to help ensure service continuity should there be an issue with the Kennewick, currently serving the route, when the Salish is able to leave its current service on the Seattle/Bremerton route, it will be moved to Port Townsend. This will allow the Salish to be available should the Kennewick have a repair issue, and to allow us to do maintenance on either boat, with the other able to provide service. I understand this isn't the outcome you wanted, or a reason that likely makes sense to you. However, our crews have done an amazing job to keep the system running for the last 16 months—while businesses in Washington and around the world shut down altogether—and they're doing their best to crew our current service. Rebidding the entire system on top of that would add additional stress to already overextended employees. We're reminding them of their responsibilities to our passengers (message from our Chief of Staff that went out last week attached), and continuing to hire and train to get them support, but for the time being, expansion isn't possible.

QN Number: 16950 Subject: Missing Crew and Port Townsend-Coupeville Service Issue Date: June 24, 2021 *Expiration Date: July 24, 2021 From: Nicole McIntosh, WSF Chief of Staff To: All Vessels WSF Colleague, Washington State Ferries faces an unprecedented staffing challenge and I call on you for your continued help to ensure vessels have enough crew to sail. You have done extraordinary work to keep a vital transportation link open through a historic pandemic and for this I thank you. Now,just as passenger levels return, we have experienced a series of missed sailings on multiple routes due to lack of crew. Retirements, limited training class sizes due to COVID restrictions, and difficulties with hiring enough qualified staff has left us in a difficult situation. When we miss this number of sailings it gets noticed by legislators,the governor's office, news media, and most importantly by our customers. We have heard from all of them. Yesterday, we were forced to delay the return of two-boat service to the Port Townsend/Coupeville route until further notice. This decision is a direct result of the system- wide crew issues that we are currently experiencing. We have an obligation to the taxpayers of the state to not miss sailings due to crewing. When we do it lets down thousands of customers who trust and depend on us to get them safely to their destinations. We have ramped up recruitment and training of new crew, including a number of engine room personnel who will be ready to work early next month. In the meantime, I know I can count on you and your fellow crew to honor our commitment to the public by being available to work your assigned schedule and answering calls from Dispatch when the need arises. I acknowledge that the current situation may not be of your making, but we are in need of your help to solve it. Thank you for all that you do.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. USDA Forest Service U.S.DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Olympic National Forest para traducciOn en espanol clic aqui Joint News Release Olympic National Forest Olympic National Park Contact: Public Affairs Officer Contact: Public Affairs Officer Corina RendOn Penny Wagner corina.rendon@usda.gov penny wagner(c�nps.gov Unprecedented conditions and recent heatwave lead to early fire restrictions at Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park Olympia,WA, July 1, 2021—Due to the combination of unprecedented conditions, the recent heatwave and the Fourth of July holiday approaching the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park are implementing fire restrictions that will only allow fires in designated areas (links below). Officials are also reminding the public that all fireworks—sparklers included - are prohibited on all federal public lands, including the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park, year-round regardless of weather conditions. Campfires are restricted to designated campgrounds and picnic areas with established fire rings. Gas or propane camp stoves may still be used in the wilderness backcountry, but should be operated well away from flammable vegetation and forest litter. Extreme caution is urged with any open flame. Due to the nature of the fragile and dry alpine vegetation, fires are never allowed above elevation of 3500 feet. Prior to the recent heatwave, precipitation levels were already below average this year elevating wildfire risk across the western side of Washington state. The record-breaking temperatures felt across the Pacific Northwest have resulted in more rapid drying, quickly elevating the fire danger across the state to a level not typically seen at this time of year. 1 "The entire peninsula is abnormally dry," said Todd Rankin, Fire Management Officer for Olympic Interagency Fire Management. "People often assume parts of the peninsula are not at risk of wildfire, but even the rain forest areas like the Quinault and Hoh river valleys and beaches along the coast are susceptible too." By following these safety tips and only having fires in areas where campfires are allowed, visitors can help prevent avoidable wildfires: 1. Let the night sky be your show • Fireworks are illegal on public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service. Violators are subject to a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine and/or up to six months in jail (36 CFR 261.52) and may additionally be held liable for suppression costs. Check local jurisdictions if visiting State, County or City Parks. 2. Keep campfires small • A campfire is less likely to escape control if it is kept small. A large fire may cast hot embers long distances. Add firewood in small amounts as existing material is consumed. 3. Attend your campfire at all times • A campfire left unattended for even a few minutes can grow into a costly, damaging wildfire. Stay with your campfire from start to finish until it is dead out, as required by law. That ensures any escaped sparks or embers can be extinguished quickly. 4. Extinguish all campfires before leaving—even if gone for a short period of time • Bring a shovel and a bucket of water to extinguish any escaped embers. When you are ready to leave, drown all embers with water, stir the coals, and drown again. Repeat until the fire is DEAD out. If it is too hot to touch, it is too hot to leave. Call 911 or your local non-emergency line to report illegal use of fireworks or unsafe fire use. Additional campfire and wildfire safety information can be found at www.smokeybear.com.

The attached WSP posting clearly shows what fireworks state law allows to be discharged outside of tribal lands,those that are legal to possess but can only be discharged on tribal land,and those that are illegal to possess or discharge. This law is not an attack on patriotism. It is about fire prevention and basic safety. I fear the drought driven fire danger and additional explosive accidents. Yet, history shows that Jefferson County law enforcement officers do not know, or are unwilling to enforce the law. Firecrackers, bottle rockets and sky rockets can not be legally discharged on any non-tribal land in Washington. Take a look.

Honorable Commissioners and Sheriff Nole, I think it is of critical importance that our elected officials assume a proactive and science-based approach when managing our county staff, office buildings and interacting with the public. Some of the voices you are hearing are corrupt and devoid of fact. I would caution you against pacifying them and encourage you to stand up to the lies. No mater our political affiliation,we adhere to basic social norms in order to protect the public at large. We do not blow red lights, we wear clothing in public, we don't shout"FIRE!" in a crowed room.Why people are hell-bent on claiming that it is their right to undermine the health and safety of their fellow citizens, escapes me.The only answer I have come up with is nihilism. Perhaps that is the aspiration and this is the vehicle to achieve the goal. I'm pretty fed up with this reckless lunacy. No, nobody has the RIGHT to jeopardize another and that is why we have laws to prevent stupid and destructive people from killing us all.As I am oft heard saying...your right to swing your fist stops where my nose begins. Here is a very brief history of some reactions to disease. I hope you enjoy the read: Kind regards,Jean Ball Forwarded message From: Greg Olear from PREVAIL by Greg Olear<gregolear@substack.com> Date: Friday,July 2, 2021 Subject:The Days of Miracle and Wonder(with Nina Burleigh) To:gnarleydogfarm@gmail.com The Days of Miracle and Wonder (with Nina Burleigh) Up the virologists! Greg Olear Jul 2 a I 1 E IN OLD MOVIES, when a child coughs, it means she will soon take ill and probably be dead by the next reel. Nowadays, this feels almost ridiculous, straining our 21st century credulity, but for most of human existence, that happened with terrible frequency: cute little kids came down with a fever or a sore throat, and within a week, they breathed their last. Diphtheria was one such ugly malady that ravaged children. In places like the tenement houses of New York—so many large families crammed into tight little spaces—the Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacterium flew hither and yon, conveyed upon moist droplets propelled into the stale air when infected humans coughed and sneezed on each other. (Fun fact: The reason Lower East Side apartments get so famously hot during the winter, to this day, is to allow for tenants to keep the windows open, to help ward off disease). New York City suffered through major diphtheria outbreaks every few years, from the 1860s well into the 20th century. Thousands of residents died every year of diphtheria. Per the 1890 census, it was the sixth-leading cause of death in the city. My great-great-uncle—the older brother of my father's grandmother—was one of those tens of thousands of data points, succumbing to the disease in 1893. But it wasn't just poor immigrants. Princess Alice, the daughter of Britain's Queen Victoria, died of diphtheria in 1878; in 1904, diphtheria claimed the life of former President Grover Cleveland's 12-year-old daughter, Ruth Cleveland—the "Baby Ruth" of candy bar fame (pictured above). Diphtheria was a nasty, nasty business. As the CDC describes: "The bacteria make a toxin (poison)that kills healthy tissues in the respiratory system. Within two to three days, the dead tissue forms a thick, gray coating that can build up in the throat or nose. Medical experts call this thick, gray coating a 'pseudomembrane, " or a diphther. "It can cover tissues in the nose, tonsils, voice box, and throat, making it very hard to breathe and swallow." In extreme cases, that gray coating got thicker and thicker until the air passage was blocked off entirely, and the infected child suffocated to death. Can you imagine watching your kid die this horribly? As the disease ravaged New York and elsewhere, doctors, scientists, and public health officials—folks like Emil Roux, Paul Ehrlich, Bela Schick, William Park, and Anna Williams—were busy developing a vaccine and implementing its rollout. Park, 2 the laboratory director at the New York City Board of Health from 1893 to 1936, launched a large-scale study of immunization of the disease in the Five Boroughs. His push to get children vaccinated saw the rates of infection plummet after the late 1920s. By the time FDR took office, diphtheria was more or less eradicated from Gotham. Nowadays, no one in the United States gets diphtheria. Other than an outbreak in Russia in 1994—we can probably blame that, too, on organized crime—there have been only a handful of cases anywhere on earth in the last 40 years. The reason why is that infants are given the vaccine. The "dip" in "dip-tet" stands for "diphtheria." Kids can't go to school unless they show proof of immunization. There was vaccine hesitancy back then, too. In the early 20th century, this stuff was new, and therefore scary. Sometimes batches of the vaccine became contaminated, and kids died as a result. Even so, science won the day, and a nasty disease that had afflicted tens of thousands of people every year was eradicated. It probably helped that there was no social media, or TV, or even radio at the turn of the century, so President McKinley couldn't take to the airwaves to announce, against all logic and available evidence, that diphtheria was no worse than the flu, that wearing a mask to prevent its spread was un-American and stupid, and that the new vaccine contained a microchip so unsuspecting citizens could be monitored by John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. Nor did he hold rallies in crowded indoors spaces where the disease might more easily be spread, in which he blamed China, Democrats, and "fake news" for the problem. (None of this prevented McKinley from being assassinated, however). In 2021, there's no excuse for such hesitancy. We have the benefit of history to look back on. We can point to the success of campaigns to end diphtheria, and smallpox, and hookworm, and mumps, and measles. It takes a special kind of entitlement—and a special kind of ignorant—for a parent to look at that list of terrible infectious diseases kids no longer have to worry about and say, "You know what? Fuck it, I'll take my chances." There will always be people who don't trust the scientists, who believe the disinformation, who put themselves and others at great risk because they lack the intellectual or moral capability to grok how this stuff works. My brother, an ER nurse, 3 tells of a staunch Jehovah's Witness who would not allow her grandson to have a blood transfusion, because it was against her religious beliefs; denied necessary medical care, the boy died. I speak of people like that. In 2020, those stunoti were in charge of our government. The pandemic response was run by the three-headed monster of Donald John Trump, Mike Pence, and Jared Kushner, and you would be hard-pressed to find a troika more hapless and corrupt. For medical advice, they turned to evangelical Christians like Robert Redfield and Deborah Birx—doctors who, as Nina Burleigh explains in her excellent new book Virus: Vaccinations, the CDC, and the Hijacking of America's Response to the Pandemic, were inspired to get into virology during the AIDS crisis, because they saw themselves as moral crusaders. Small wonder that half a million Americans needlessly died. Reminder: Trump knew what covid-19 was. He knew back in February that it was much more deadly than the flu. He didn't give a shit. He and his Slenderman motherfucker of a son-in-law sabotaged the coronavirus response, greenlighting a Blue State Genocide, because they thought, small-minded idiots that they are, that it would help him win re-election. As this went down, the alleged Christian Pence, Trump's Gimp, who as governor of Indiana had exacerbated an HIV outbreak because of his ideological contempt for Planned Parenthood, smiled beatifically in the background and did nothing, I guess because there are not enough examples in the Gospels of Jesus healing the sick. This was nuts as it was happening. In hindsight, it looks like absolute madness. "We were pelted with WTFs," as Burleigh tells me on today's PREVAIL podcast. And yet despite this historical bungling, and against all odds, our scientists managed to develop a vaccine. If covid-19 happened 25 years ago, Burleigh explains, there would be no such thing. It is only because of incredible advances in genetics in the last quarter century that we managed to create this wonderful thing. And as soon as President Biden took over, and actual competent people were once again in charge of the federal government, boom, the vaccines were rolled out, and everyone who wants one got one (or got two, as it were). As Nina says, this is a modern-day miracle. With so much bad in the world, it is important to acknowledge—and to marvel at—the amazing things that happen. The 4 creation and rollout of the covid-19 vaccine is an historic achievement, a triumph of human ingenuity. Paul Simon was right: these are the days of miracle and wonder.

Some jurisdictions have adopted ordinances, effective after the statutory one-year waiting period in RCW 70.77.250(4), that authorize specific officials (such as the mayor, county executive, sheriff, or fire marshal) to prohibit fireworks during emergency conditions such as high fire danger.

Hello Commissioners, Dr Locke, and Willie Bence, Here are the questions from the past week sent into KPTZ for Tuesday,July 6, 2021 BOCC Update. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Locke: 1. The new NOVA vaccine, which I hear is a classically designed vaccine,rather than a mRNA experiment. I understand it will not have spike proteins. Is that so?What do you think about it? Will it be available in Jefferson County? 2. You have noted that older people may not have as strong a response to the vaccine and therefore can experience breakthrough infections. Is there a test that older vaccinated people can take to know if they have mounted a strong response? It would be good to know how careful we need to be. 3. This is regarding the newly developed antigen test,which says it is much more accurate and can identify if a person's antibodies are from vaccine or a particular strain of the virus. https://www.abdn.ac.uk/news/15066/ Is this test available? If it truly is accurate, it will help so many(especially those immunocompromised) to either feel safer in public, or know to continue to use protection and caution in public. 1 jeffbocc From: The Port Townsend Main Street Program <director@ptmainstreet.org> Sent: Friday, July 2, 2021 6:50 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: News, Project Updates and Concerts on the Dock!

You helped us all achieve some important results: • The Council transferred responsibility for the trail restoration project described in the CFP to the Public Works Department where it belongs. • To rename their study project from a consideration of an upland replacement route of the Waterfront Trail (WFT)to a study of bicycle routes connecting the ODT to the Gales Addition Neighborhood • Dropping all reference to it being an alternative upland route option for the ODT(and also assigning that project to the Public Works Dept.). Once again we are asking our members and supporters to be prepared to participate in the City Council's July 6th meeting where the Council will consider a draft resolution to restore the Waterfront Trail. We have recently learned that the staff's proposed version of our recommended draft, while making a number of important, overdue, and significant commitments, nonetheless falls short in two key respects: 1. The staff draft makes no explicit timeline commitments, even though we have emphasized for months that critical work HAS to be done before the coming winter (by November, in our view). Though we have again received general verbal assurances of a satisfactory response timeline, similar previous assurances have not borne out. So, we urge you to make this a point of your comments. The council resolution needs to make explicit deadline dates for staff to complete the necessary work, as is detailed in our draft resolution. 2. It does not place primary responsibility for maintenance of the ODT, including the Waterfront Trail, in the Public Works Department. Our many years of experience in working with the city is that the current assignment of the ODT/WFT to the Parks & Rec Department simply doesn't work. The vast majority of what is required to maintain the trail is capability that isn't found within Parks & Rec. We have experienced years of going to Parks & Rec. only to have to wait for them to enlist Public Works to get the work done. It has become an untenable arrangement that the council needs to correct. i You can refer to the staff draft resolution by going to the Agenda Packet and scrolling to H-1 of the packet for the cover memo and two-page draft. Our position is that the Council needs to assert unequivocal support for restoring and maintaining the existing WFT; by directing the staff to accomplish the specific actions described in the PTC's Draft Resolution, and getting the permits to do the work necessary to restore the Waterfront Trail before the start of next winter. Again for this meeting please state what you want: • The City Council to pass the resolution as it was originally drafted by the PTC (and not the watered down version submitted to the City Council by its staff) and to retain the clear timelines for completion of steps needed to fully restore the Waterfront Trail. • Make sure that the City does not consider, in any way, the abandonment or decommissioning, or downsizing or continuing to under-maintain the Waterfront Trail. • Urge that the City (finally) devote the full funding and resources needed to restore the Waterfront Trail to the railroad bed integrity it had when the City took ownership and that the entire WFT be fully and routinely maintained. • The WFT's principal usage as a transportation corridor reflected by having the entire trail within the city become the responsibility of the City of Port Angeles' Public Works Department.

To Watch the Live Meeting 2 jeffbocc From: Jennifer Hefty <jenroseland@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, July 5, 2021 10:40 AM To: jeffbocc; Greg Brotherton; Heidi Eisenhour; Kate Dean Subject: What do we do about the homeless? CAUTION:This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. What do we do about the homeless? This is one of the most vexing public policy problems we face. If you live in a big city, especially on the West Coast, you literally face it every day.And every day it seems to get worse.Why? Let's start with a couple facts: First, the word itself is misleading: Homelessness is not primarily a housing problem. It's a human problem.The primary drivers of homelessness are drug addiction and mental illness. According to data from UCLA's California Policy Lab, approximately three-quarters of people living in cars,tents, and on the streets suffer from serious mental illness, drug addiction,or both. Second, despite these conditions,the homeless actually make rational decisions about where they want to live. Not surprisingly,they move to the most permissive environment they can find. Make your city attractive for the homeless and they will beat a path to your doorway. The Venice Boulevard underpass on the border of Los Angeles and Culver City brings home this point. It's one of thousands of concrete structures in Los Angeles County, but there's a curious detail: the Los Angeles side is full of tents and the Culver City side is empty. Why? Because the two cities have different public policies. Los Angeles has effectively decriminalized public camping and drug consumption while Culver City enforces the law. This pattern—that the homeless go where the policy environment is the most permissive—can be seen up and down the West Coast. In San Francisco County, it's estimated that 30%of the homeless migrated there after becoming homeless somewhere else. In the city of Seattle, that number is 51%. The San Francisco Chronicle estimates that hundreds of homeless individuals move to the Bay Area each year because of the "perception that it is a sanctuary for people who are unwilling to participate in programs designed to get them off, and keep them off, a life in the streets." At first glance, this would seem to make no sense. Why would an individual with no shelter or stable source of income move to one of the most expensive cities in the country? But in the world of the homeless, it makes perfect sense.That's because they operate under a different set of incentives than the average citizen. In a research survey of homeless migrants in Seattle, 15%said they came to access homeless services, 10%came for legal marijuana, and 16%were transients who were "traveling or visiting" when they decided to set up camp. But this dramatically understates the biggest draw of all: the de facto legalization of street camping, drug consumption, and property crime. 1 As former Seattle public safety advisor Scott Lindsay has shown, the city is now home to a large population of homeless "prolific offenders"—people who commit property crimes to feed their addictions but are rarely held accountable for those crimes by the criminal justice system. So is ever-increasing homelessness our inevitable future? If our goal is to make life as attractive as possible for the homeless,the answer is yes. If our goal is to actually help the homeless, the answer is no. Houston mayor Sylvester Turner is a Democrat, but his approach to homelessness is a world apart from his counterparts in Los Angeles,San Francisco, and Seattle. "It is simply not acceptable for people to live on the streets; it is not good for them, and it is not good for the city," Turner has said. Houston's policy is a perfect example of what Turner calls a "tough love" approach.The city has built housing for the chronically homeless,formed a coalition of nonprofit partners, and lobbied the state government for more mental health and addiction services.At the same time,Turner has enforced a strict ban on public camping and promoted a citywide campaign to discourage citizens from giving money to panhandlers.The results are as instructive as they are stunning. Over the past eight years, Houston has reduced its homeless population by 54%while it has skyrocketed in West Coast cities. Different policies, different results. Where a Seattle politician opposes hosing down feces-covered sidewalks because "hoses are racist," Houston fights in the courts for the right to clean up encampments.Where California progressives push for more drug injection sites and have decriminalized thefts under$950, Houston imposes consequences not only for theft, but for aggressive panhandling, window washing, and other"street obstructions." As this Texas city has demonstrated, local leaders in cities of any size can meaningfully reduce homelessness through a strategy that mixes compassion with commonsense enforcement. If cities stop allowing public encampments and open drug consumption and start prosecuting property crimes,they will have much more success redirecting the homeless away from a life of self-destruction and toward a life of hope through mental health treatment, drug rehab, and job training. That's what we all want, isn't it?So why don't we do it?

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. To whit — During the era of all things covid, it's been shocking to witness these local public service boards becoming impervious walls, with a vacuum right behind. Holding up mirrors has been useless, without means for self-reflection. Y'all have had 18months to prove otherwise, with troves of other vantages available as well as delivered -- including research & studies, medical industry whistleblowers, real science & medicine — all in hopes of avoiding yet another sci-fi Tuskegee "experiment". So it is doubtful any one of you follows the various vaccine adverse events reporting systems. In the U.S. it is "VAERS", and the number of deaths & injuries from these synthetic spike protein jabs is staggering. It's pointless to waste time attempting to offer more data, as your covid cult has morphed into its true colors as the vaxx cult. Once again, big gov't, pharma, and tech are using the world as cannon fodder and lab rats. Petty bureaucrats, petty tyrants — the zealotry is familiar, witnessed throughout human history. It's a madness & programming immune to sense & truth, out of reach of compassion & reason. Snakes currently pushing genetically modifying snake oil, but this time on a global scale. A new iteration of the Nuremberg Trials is being organized, and all involved in this scam & holocaust will be held to account. A majority of physicians aren't about to take your horse-pucky, let alone the snake oil. To use Locke's verbiage, they must be "anti-social", right? https://aapsonline.org/maiority-of-physicians-decline-covid-shots-according-to-survey/ Proof's in the pudding. Tough luck, eh?

Inslee issued an extension of the utility moratorium proclamation, which will now expire on September 30, 2021. This will be the final extension of the proclamation and the extension will align with the end date of the tenancy preservation bridge (21-09) to give Washingtonians struggling with housing payments time to prepare and seek assistance before both proclamations expire. The Office of the Governor will work closely with utilities on how they can continue to support customers once the moratorium expires. Utilities are encouraged to: • In Clallam County • Offer extended payment plans of 12 months or longer. • Waive disconnection, reconnection, site visit and late fees accrued during the disconnection moratorium, if customers sign up for payment assistance. • Refrain from reporting overdue accounts to credit bureaus or placing liens on customers with overdue accounts for at least 180 days. In addition to outreach from utilities, customers should contact their utility to learn about programs and financial resources that can help with unpaid utility bills and prevent disconnections. Residents with past-due energy and water balances are encouraged to call their utility providers as soon as possible to set up a payment or assistant plan.

Hi Kate, I'm checking back to see if you'd had a chance to review this proposed letter from local government officials in Washington to our Congressional delegation to emphasize the need for strong climate provisions to be an integral component of any final federal infrastructure deal? Over 40 of your colleagues from around the state have signed so far, and we would love to add your name to the list. We will be continuing to add signers this week and then will finalize the letter and transmit it to our members of Congress when they return from recess next Monday. Please let me know by Friday if possible if I should add your name or if you have any questions.

A group of Washington state legislators is preparing a letter to our Congressional delegation to stress the importance of these critical climate initiatives being included in the final federal infrastructure package — the message, in short: No Climate, No Deal. We would like to provide local elected officials in Washington with the opportunity to weigh in as well by signing on to a similar letter of support (below) to ask our federal representatives to insist that bold climate investments be included in the upcoming federal legislation. As this weekend's heat wave showed us, the climate crisis is upon us now and we simply cannot afford to miss this unique and vital chance to take serious action at the federal level. i If you would like to join your colleagues from around the state in signing onto this letter, please reply to me this week and I will add your name and title. Thank you for all you do for Jefferson County and for your commitment to stand up for bold climate action at all levels of government. Thanks --Brian 206-595-5040 Brian Emanuels I Local Advocacy Fellow - Solutionsthe Climate Crisis Climate Solutions AcceleratingClean Energy to ClimateCast I Facebook I Twitter Dear Members of Washington's federal delegation: As local elected officials,we take the climate crisis very seriously as we recognize the impacts it is already having on our communities. We have passed local ordinances and resolutions in support of clean electricity, clean fuels, and clean buildings.We have also used our voices to support progress at the state level on behalf of our communities.Our state government has responded by passing new laws and committing billions in new investments to transition away from fossil fuels.These infrastructure investments—in mass transit,vehicle and ferry electrification, clean buildings, and more—are not only needed to reduce pollution, but they also will create good, green jobs in our communities. Policies passed in Washington State and supported by local jurisdictions, such as the Clean Energy Transformation Act (100% clean electricity standard), serve as a model for federal action. However,Washington cities, counties, and our state government cannot combat the climate crisis alone and so we are reaching out to you, our congressional delegation. Federal action on climate commensurate with our Paris Climate Accord obligations is critical. For us,the climate crisis is not a distant threat; it is already harming our communities.We are already suffering from climate impacts: extreme and historic heat waves, drought, and deadly wildfires.We need strong federal partnership and action to prevent an acceleration of these harms and protect our communities on behalf of those who elected and placed their trust in us. We're tracking the progress of the federal infrastructure package closely and with increasing alarm as it appears that climate-related investments may not be a part of a final agreement. In our view, such a decision is unacceptable. Not including significant climate investments in the federal infrastructure passage will not only gravely hinder our ability to meet our Paris Climate Accord obligations, but it means our communities will see fewer green job opportunities and will further bear the brunt of pollution. A failure to address climate change in this federal infrastructure investment bill would be an environmental, economic, and public health disaster with real ramifications for our communities. We ask you to clearly express the urgency of climate investments—no climate, no deal. Our community members know that robust climate policy, including climate-focused infrastructure investments, strengthens our local economies, creates good jobs, protects our health, and moves us toward environmental justice. Voters placed their trust in us—and in you—to work for a transition to a clean energy economy. When Washingtonians asked their local and state elected officials to rise to the occasion and enact model climate policy,we did.We ask that Congress now join us and do the same because our climate and the health and prosperity of our communities is on the line.

The 1997 HCP employed an interim conservation strategy while the species habitat needs were studied more thoroughly. In 2019 the DNR amended the HCP to incorporate a final set of long-term conservation strategies for the Marbled Murrelet. Both the 1997 and the 2019 conservation strategies limited commercial timber harvest on some acres solely to preserve the Marbled Murrelet. Therefore,the county and taxing district beneficiaries received less revenue due to the DNR's adoption of the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies. This report estimates both the financial and economic impacts associated with both the 1997 and the 2019 conservation strategies. We focus only on those acres where timber harvest is limited by Marbled Murrelet habitat—about 33,000 acres in 1997 and 37,000 acres in 2019. The Marbled Murrelet habitat that is also included in areas affected by Spotted Owls, riparian management objectives,etc., are not included in this study. We characterize the impacts based on the average annual contribution that these acres could make to long-term timber harvest. The table below summarizes the financial and economic impacts from each set of Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies on the subject acres. Annual Average Impact 1997 Interim Conservation 2019 Final Long-Term Strategy Conservation Strategies Relevant Time Period 1997-2019 2020 and beyond Marbled Murrelet only acres 32,826 37,456 Financial Impacts-annual Lost Revenue to Counties and taxing districts $1.275 million $1.265 million Economic Impacts-annual Job Loss 190 jobs 220 jobs Lost income $15.1 million $17.3 million We looked for benefits to ecosystem services due to the conservation strategies and found little if any. We examined whether the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies could produce positive financial benefits on County road budgets but found little, if any. We also evaluated the potential value of carbon sequestration credits from the harvest restrictions stemming from the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies. We estimate that the impacted acres could be sequestering between$600,000 and $3.4 million worth of carbon annually. We believe, however,that the "additionality" requirement of the cap-and-trade carbon systems makes it highly unlikely that these credits could be registered. 1 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD Background In 1997,the Washington Department of Natural Resources(DNR)entered into a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)agreement with federal agencies. The HCP described conservation measures designed to protect habitat for species listed under the federal Endangered Species Act(ESA). However, because of a lack of data about Marbled Murrelet habitat needs,the conservation strategy for Marbled Murrelet was cast as an "Interim Strategy"to be finalized when more information became available. In 2019, DNR and the federal agencies amended the 1997 HCP to replace the interim conservation strategy for Marbled Murrelet with a long-term conservation strategy. This action was evaluated under the Washington State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA). A variety of management alternatives were considered.Alternative A was the no-action alternative and would have carried the 1997 interim conservation strategy forward. The agencies ultimately selected Alternative H,with some additional modifications,as the final long-term conservation strategy going forward and the amendment to the HCP (2019 HCP Amendment). This strategy lifted Marbled Murrelet restrictions in some areas and added similar limits in other areas. Both the Interim Strategy and final 2019 HCP Amendment permanently withdraw areas from sustainable timber production to maintain, protect and enhance habitat for Marbled Murrelet. Without these limitations,timber from these acres would have been harvested,creating revenue for Counties,junior taxing districts, and other DNR beneficiaries. In addition,the harvest would have created employment and income across a variety of sectors in the local economies. In 2018,the Washington State Legislature passed HB 2285 requiring the DNR to appoint an advisory committee and provide a legislative report covering an economic analysis on revenue and to make legislative recommendations to help offset potential revenue and jobs losses from Marbled Murrelet conservation measures,among other requirements.As a result,the DNR convened a "Solutions Table"to generate new ideas and proposals and meet the needs of HB 2285. The DNR appointed two WSAC representatives to the Solutions Table. Through WSAC's work with other stakeholders on the Solutions Table, it became apparent that a satisfactory response to HB 2285 required an in-depth economic analysis of the revenue impacts to beneficiary counties and the direct, indirect,and induced economic effects on counties. WSAC subsequently contracted with Mason, Bruce&Girard (MB&G)and Highland Economics(HE)to conduct the analysis. In addition, MB&G and HE worked with WSAC, DNR,and a project steering committee to scope the project and evaluate the work products. 2 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD Study Objectives Between the 1997 HCP and the 2019 HCP Amendment, DNR has adjusted the location and extent of the area set aside exclusively for Marbled Murrelet. This analysis estimates: A. Potential average annual timber harvest from lands set aside exclusively for Marbled Murrelet. B. Average annual timber-derived revenue from lands set aside exclusively for Marbled Murrelet by County and taxing district. C. The potential contribution of timber-related employment and income within each county from lands set aside exclusively for Marbled Murrelet. D. Potential employment, income,or fiscal benefits that affected counties can realize from Marbled Murrelet habitat conservation,such as the potential local economic benefits related to changes in ecosystem services. In addition,this project builds a financial analysis tool that can be used to evaluate similar impacts from future proposals that might withdraw acres from timber harvest from State forestlands in the affected counties. Framework for Analysis Appendix R of the 2019 Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Long-Term Conservation Strategy for the Marbled Murreletl (2019 FEIS)tabulates the acres affected in County and taxing district. That analysis, however,does not take the next step of estimating the financial impacts to each County and taxing district, nor does it evaluate the impact on employment and income in the local economies.Therefore,this report extends DNR's Appendix R analysis to include annual estimates of these fiscal and economic impacts. This study's financial and economic impact calculations are based on an analytical framework that both limits the analysis to the specific areas of interest and evenly distributes the impacts across time. This section describes key analytical assumptions. Subject Acres: Unavailable for Harvest Due Only to Marbled Murrelet The HCP and DNR's forest management plan withdrew acres from sustainable timber harvest for various reasons, including maintenance, protection,and enhancement of habitat for the Marbled Murrelet. On many of the acres reserved for Marbled Murrelet habitat, DNR also limits or precludes sustainable timber harvest for Northern Spotted Owl habitat, and/or riparian habitat and/or various other reasons.As a result,the financial and economic impacts of all set-asides are minimized to the extent that DNR can use the same acres to meet more than one set of non-timber objectives. 1 Washington Department of Natural Resources Forest Resources Division,and US Fish and Wildlife Services, Final Environmental Impact State for Long-Term Conservation Strategy for the Marbled Murrelet, Olympia, WA, 2019. https://www.dnr.wa.gov/mmltcs 3 MASON.BRUCE s GIRARD This study, however,focuses on the impacts on DNR lands where timber harvest has been precluded exclusively by conservation strategies for the Marbled Murrelet. In this report,these are referred to as "the subject acres." For the two alternatives in this report: • The Interim Strategy is represented in the 2019 FEIS as Alternative A and has about 600,000 acres of"conservation"where harvest is limited or precluded. About 33,000 of those acres are limited only by conservation strategies for the Marbled Murrelet and are the subject acres for this report.' • The 2019 HCP Amendment is represented in the 2019 FEIS as Alternative H and has about 604,000 acres of"conservation" where harvest is limited or precluded. About 37,000 of those acres are limited only by Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies of the HCP and constitute the second set of subject acres for this report. Error!

It is unlikely that these small,scattered parcels could be efficiently harvested on their own. For this study, however,we calculate the annual average contribution that these individual parcels could make to a sustainable harvest program and base our 2 There are about 1.5 million acres of forest land managed by the DNR in Western Washington. 4 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD financial and economic impacts on that annual average harvest contribution. This is discussed in more detail below. Impacts Characterized as Changes in Annual Average Contribution to Sustainable Yield Figure 1 suggests that the location, productivity, current timber inventory,and probable timber values of the subject acres can be known with reasonable certainty. The future inventory and value of these acres can indeed be estimated with reasonable confidence. However,what is unknown is exactly when each of the subject acres would have been harvested, but for the restrictions imposed by the Interim Strategy or final 2019 HCP Amendment. DNR's timber harvest scheduling model does show when each acre is scheduled for harvest, but the schedule is not followed in practice. Like many larger timberland managers, DNR uses its timber harvest scheduling model to help make strategic forest management decisions(e.g., how much timber to cut in each trust) but does not use that model to make operational decisions(e.g.,which particular stands to cut each year).As a result, annual timber sale layout decisions are based on various factors outside the scope of the strategic planning model. We overcome this analytical predicament by focusing on each acre's potential contribution to a long-term sustainable yield. For each stand,we calculate the mean annual increment(MAI)from DNR yield projections at an expected rotation age of 70 years,consistent with prevailing DNR management trends. We consider the MAI to be each stand's average annual contribution to sustainable harvest and revenue over the long term. Consider,for example,a timber stand of medium productivity precluded from harvest for the production of Marbled Murrelet habitat. At age 70, DNR's harvest scheduling model might show that the expected yield would be 49 Mbf/acre and that expected net revenue would be$350/Mbf or$17,150/acre.3 We divide each figure by the 70 years in the rotation to derive an annual average contribution of 0.70 Mbf/acre/year and $245/acre/year. To carry the example further, if there were 30 acres in this stand, then that stand's average contribution to long-term sustainable yield would be 2.1 Mbf/year and $7,350/year. Impacts Focused on Counties and Taxing Districts In this study,we identify and estimate three kinds of impacts: • Financial impacts are changes in the timber harvest revenue distributed to Counties and taxing districts. • Economic impacts are changes in employment and income to local economies. 3 Mbf—thousand board feet, a measure of timber volume. MMbf—million board feet. Bbf—Billion board feet. A typical log truck carries between 4 and 5 Mbf. At harvest time, an acre might have 20-50 Mbf. DNR's FY 2019 harvest totaled 505 MMbf. Statewide harvest across all landowners in Western Washington for CY2019 totaled 2,646 MMbf. 5 ISk MASON,BRUCE&GIRARD • Other impacts are potential benefits or cost savings accruing to local economies due to Marbled Murrelet management decisions. Forest Land managed by the DNR is organized into several individual trusts. The revenue-sharing arrangement between DNR and the trust beneficiaries depends on the type of trust: • Federal Grant Lands currently comprise about 1.5 million acres and were granted to the State in the Enabling Act of 1889. These lands are organized into seven separate trusts, including the Common School trust,the Agricultural School trust,the University trust,the Capitol Building trust, etc. The DNR distributes some percentage of the stumpage revenues to the trust beneficiaries. Counties and junior taxing districts do not get any share of the stumpage revenue, but they get a portion of the harvest tax. • State Forest Transfer Lands comprise 546,000 acres acquired by Counties in the 1920s and 1930s through tax foreclosures. These lands are organized into 21 county-level trusts. Counties and junior taxing districts get 75%of the stumpage revenue from these lands and a portion of the harvest tax. • State Forest Purchase Lands currently comprise about 80,000 acres and were either purchased by the State or acquired by the State as a gift. Counties and junior taxing districts receive 26.5%of the stumpage revenue from these lands and a portion of the harvest tax. Error!

Counties do not share the harvest revenue from these lands.Therefore, changes to the revenue shared with the federal grant lands beneficiaries due to the Marbled Murrelet restrictions are not included in this report. Counties do receive a portion of the harvest tax revenue generated from harvest on the federal grant lands, however, and changes to those revenues are part of the financial impact reported here. 6 MASON.BRUCE s GIRARD Counties and taxing districts do get a share of the timber revenue generated from State Forest Transfer Lands(75%of revenue)and State Forest Purchase Lands(26.5%of revenue) and a share of the harvest tax revenue from these lands.Therefore,these revenues constitute the financial impacts in this report. Assumptions for Economic Impacts Local economies realize economic impacts(jobs and income)without respect to the trust ownership of the lands harvested. Therefore,all harvest from the subject lands contributes to the average annual estimated economic impacts derived in this study. Economic impacts in the analysis are based on estimated changes in logging activity and associated potential responses in sawmill and pulp and paper production.The estimated total economic effects related to reduced logging activity are most certain (although there is still uncertainty in these impacts, as changes in DNR harvest may affect harvest levels on other ownerships). The effects related to sawmill and pulp and paper production are less certain and likely represent the maximum possible impacts,as they are estimated under the assumption that reduced DNR timber harvest will result in a proportionate decline in mill output(under the assumption that all DNR logs go to WA state mills,with log destination by county based on historical patterns of log consumption by mills). For comparison purposes, impacts of the Interim Strategy during the interval 1997 to 2019 are estimated using the same relationships of jobs/income/output per harvested board feet of timber used for future impacts. Actual impacts during the Interim Strategy period would have been higher because logging and mill operations were less efficient (i.e., in the past, more employment and labor income were required for a given level of board feet produced). The effect of these assumptions is that the estimated economic impacts presented in this report represent the total economic activity currently supported by DNR harvests;actual changes in economic activity due to changes in harvest will depend on whether reduced harvest on DNR lands is offset at all by increased harvest on other lands,and whether mills can access alternative sources of logs. To allocate economic impacts by counties,we assume all logging is performed by firms located in the county of harvest. This may overstate the effects on some counties with fewer logging contractors and understate the impacts for counties with a more substantial contractor base, particularly large firms with multi-county reach. Allocation by county of the potential effects on mill production is based on DNR mill survey data on the destination of logs harvested in each county(e.g.,of logs harvested in Clallam County, the most recent mill surveys for 2014 and 2016 indicate that 52%went to mills in Clallam County, 13%to mills in Grays Harbor, and the remainder went to mills in Snohomish, Pacific, Mason, Clark,Skagit, and Whatcom Counties; see Appendix B for more detail). As log exports are included in the log destination data (but are not reported separately by county),this method may overstate mill impacts in counties with high log exports,such as Cowlitz County. Effects on pulp and paper production are allocated by county based on the relative size of the pulp and paper industry in each county in Western Washington as defined by employment levels in the pulp and paper sector. For example, 54%of Western Washington employment in the pulp and paper sector is in Cowlitz County,and 54%of pulp and paper employment and income effects are estimated to occur in Cowlitz County. 7 «A; r MASON.BRUCE s GIRARD Methods The analysis estimates average annual timber-derived contributions that the subject forested acres could make to Counties and taxing districts over the long term, assuming a program of sustainable forest management on a 70-year rotation. Appendices A and B provide the details of our methodology. In summary,our analysis: 1. Identifies the subject acres set aside exclusively for Marbled Murrelet, noting location,trust, County,taxing districts,species mix, site class,age class,etc. Acres for the Interim Strategy are tracked separately from the acres for the 2019 HCP Amendment. 2. Uses growth and yield information from DNR's forest management model to estimate long-term harvest contribution based on species mix and site class. We calculate an annual contribution to long-term sustained yield (board feet per acre per year) and use this to derive an annual average harvest figure assuming a 70-year rotation for the encumbered acres. 3. Uses economic information from DNR's forest management model and historic timber sales to estimate annual average financial returns from the annual average harvest. 4. Allocates average annual financial impacts to taxing districts and Counties based on the most recently available taxing district information,dated 2019. 5. Estimates job and income economic impacts at the County level in forestry and timber-related sectors, including direct, indirect, and induced impacts. Effects are estimated at the county level. Figure 2 summarizes the methodology for the economic impacts analysis,and Appendix B provides the data and assumptions. 6. Identifies the key ecosystem services affected by Marbled Murrelet conservation that may have clear and measurable fiscal or economic impacts on counties. 7. Compares impacts between the Interim Strategy and the 2019 HCP Amendment. We also calculate past impacts and future impacts over a longer period of time. 8. Builds a tool that will allow a similar analysis from similar set-asides in the future.

'>° r4 taA A; Figure 3:Distribution of financial impacts by County, Interim Strategy Table 2 shows that Clallam County is impacted most heavily both in terms of acres(12,049 acres) and annual financial impacts($654,169). The financial impacts, however,are not highly correlated with the number of subject acres. Jefferson County,for example, has 7,849 subject acres(65%as much as Clallam County)—and the impact is$76,310(12%as much as Clallam County). This disparity occurs because most of the subject acres in Jefferson County are located in the Federal Grant Lands, as shown in Table 3. Stumpage revenue from timber harvested on the Federal Grant Lands is not shared with the Counties and taxing districts(see Table 1). Therefore,the Interim Strategy had substantially less impact on Counties and taxing districts in Jefferson County than in Clallam County.' Also, note that the most significant impacts are in the rural Counties. Together,Clallam,Wahkiakum,and Pacific Counties account for about 80%of the financial impact for protecting Marbled Murrelet habitat but comprise just 1.4%of the State's population. 4 Note that for the calculation of economic impacts(employment and income),the timber not harvested on Federal Grant Lands has the same impact as the timber not harvested from the other trusts. 12 MASON,BRUCE&GIRARD County FedGrant SFPurchase SFTransfer Other Total Clallam 4,429 35 7,572 12 12,049 Grays Harbor 1,691 79 67 193 2,029 Jefferson 7,527 297 24 7,849 King 118 52 170 Kitsap 16 16 Lewis 434 123 557 Mason 61 0 108 169 Pacific 1,843 143 1,210 3 3,200 Pierce 62 62 Skagit 403 405 87 895 Snohomish 295 238 1 534 Thurston 143 1 182 8 334 Wahkiakum 2,416 1,461 3,878 Whatcom 972 112 1,084 Total: 20,394 259 11,845 328 32,826 Table 3: Distribution of subject acres by County and Trust, Interim Strategy The share of stumpage revenue that Counties receive is further divided within each individual County's II taxing districts, according to whether state trust lands exist within the boundary of a taxing district.' The revenue is allocated based on a taxing district's levy rate as a proportion of the overall levy rate pertaining to a particular parcel. For example,Table 4 shows a hypothetical example where the County and taxing districts'share of the DNR stumpage revenue is split between the County General Fund, a school district, and a fire district. Each entity's share is based on its proportion of the total of the levies.

If DNR were to instead manage those acres for sustained timber production, harvest would average about 21.1 MMbf annually. Total annual stumpage revenue from these lands would be about$6.6 million. About 11,600 of the subject acres are on State Forest Purchase Lands and State Forest Transfer Lands (Table 1),and DNR would distribute$999,426 of the total revenue to Counties and taxing districts. In addition,the Counties would also receive annually about$261,000 of harvest tax from the harvest on these lands.Thus, in total,Counties and taxing districts would receive an additional $1.261 million annually, but for the final conservation strategy for Marbled Murrelet in the 2019 HCP Amendment. Put another way, management decisions made in 2019 to meet the Endangered Species Act(ESA) requirements to protect and maintain Marbled Murrelet habitat will cost the Counties on average $1.261 million per year in the form of lost revenue. 2019 HCP Amendment Acres Annual Average Total Stumpage County Share of: Taal Financial County Impacted MBF Impacted Revenues Harvest Tax Revenue Imp t.; Clallam 11,104 5,883 $ 1,614,451 $ 64,300 $ 558,881 623,182, Grays Harbor 889 537 $ 179,403 $ 7,176 $ - $ 7,176 Jefferson 10,091 6,185 $ 1,614,088 $ 64,377 $ 4,764 $ . 9,141 King 8 4 $ 1,356 $ 54 $ 462 $ $17' Kitsap - - $ - $ - $ - $ Lewis 258 133 $ 46,696 $ 1,868 $ - $ 1,868` Mason 117 52 $ 20,335 $ 813 $ 4,496 $ 5,309 Pacific 4,891 2,957 $ 1,034,516 $ 41,329 $ 171,555 $ 212,a-5 Pierce - - $ - $ - $ - $ Skagit 1,366 620 $ 240,823 $ 9,095 $ 60,973 $ 70, 67 Snohomish 1,341 776 $ 296,547 $ 11,852 $ 53,953 $ 65,805' Thurston - - $ - $ - $ - $ Wahkiakum 4,461 2,623 $ 977,024 $ 39,081 $ 117,897 $ , 156,078` Whatcom 2,928 1,327 $ 530,067 $ 21,203 $ 26,447 $ 47,C50 Total: 37,456 21,097 $ 6,555,306 $ 261,148 $ 999,429 " $ 1,260,577 Table 5: Subject acres and financial impacts by County,2019 HCP Amendment 6 Some minor adjustments were made to Alternative H prior to the final decision.

Jefferson County,for example, has 10,091 subject acres(91%as much as Clallam County)—but the impact is$69,141(11%as much as Clallam County). This disparity again occurs because nearly all of the subject acres in Jefferson County are located in the Federal Grant Lands.

Note that"financial impact" is defined as revenue foregone due to the decisions to restrict timber harvest solely for the Marbled Murrelet objectives. In this section,we compare the two alternatives and summarize the differences. For this section, we define the difference as: Difference in Financial Impact= Financial Impact,nterimstrategy—Financial Impact2o19HCPAmendment For example, if the Interim Strategy had a financial impact of$100 and the 2019 HCP Amendment had a financial impact of$150,then the difference would be$-50, and the negative sign would indicate that the impact is greater in the 2019 HCP Amendment than in the Interim Strategy. Likewise,a positive difference means that the impact is less in the 2019 HCP Amendment than in the Interim Strategy. Table 7 and Figure 7 summarize the differences between the financial impacts for the Interim Strategy and the 2019 HCP Amendment by County. While the 2019 HCP Amendment has about 2,700 more acres set aside for Marbled Murrelet than the Interim Strategy,the financial impacts for the 2019 HCP Amendment are about$14,700 per year less than the financial impacts of the Interim Strategy. This occurs because the 19 d` MASON BRUCE&GIRARD I additional acres under the 2019 HCP Amendment were primarily shifted to Federal Grant Lands,and the Counties and taxing districts do not get a share of that stumpage revenue. Overall,the 2019 HCP Amendment has slightly fewer subject acres on State Forest Purchase and State Forest Transfer lands.

We understand,for example,that some taxing districts might use this revenue for large ticket purchases like a fire truck or an ambulance. To provide context for the financial impacts discussed above,we show some examples of how timber revenue fits into local budgets.We asked Clallam County and a few of the taxing districts in Clallam County to show how timber revenues fit into current budgets. We then calculated how the payments forgone due to the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies would affect current budgets. The Clallam County CFO provided data about the County General Fund and County Road Fund budgets and contact information for 12 taxing districts of interest(Fire:4; Library: 1; Port: 1; School: 5; Hospital 1). Of these 12 districts,five responded. In addition,two districts provided a split account sourced from a general fund and a capital projects fund or the EMS Levy, and we combined these for the calculations reported. 21 4 MASON,BRUCE&GIRARD 4 Table 8 summarizes the impact of the foregone revenue on the discretionary budgets. For example, discretionary funding in the current Clallam County General Fund budget is$22,613,342,and $625,000 of that is from timber revenues anticipated by the County. This analysis estimates that due to the 2019 HCP Amendment,the County General Fund wilt be$91,542 less than it could have been (see Appendix A,Table 13). Adding this lost revenue to the actual total discretionary income indicates that, but for the conservation strategies,the discretionary income could have been$22,704,883. Therefore,the lost revenue constitutes 0.4%of the potential discretionary income and 12.8%of the potential timber revenue.

Table 8 shows that on a percentage basis,the revenue lost due to the conservation strategies hits the discretionary income of some entities harder than others. The Port of Port Angeles,for example, has only $431,000 of discretionary revenue, and the$38,000 of lost revenue would constitute 8.1%of the potential discretionary income. By themselves, however,the percentages may be misleading. Over$90,000 of lost revenue to each of the General Fund and the Roads Fund is a substantial sum—enough to fund a position or to upgrade some equipment. 22 411,7 MASON,BRUCE&GIRARD Economic Impacts This section estimates the potential total Key Findings economic impacts, in terms of employment and labor income, in each county economy,of • Under the Interim Strategy an estimated changes in timber harvest on DNR lands 190 fewer jobs and $15.1 million less in exclusively due to management decisions labor income across all economic sectors pertaining to the Marbled Murrelet.

The logging. Ripple effects from changes in forest analysis assumes that mills cannot acquire logs sector industries on other industries are included from different sources and that regional timber to estimate `total economic impacts'. harvest declines in total due to the decreased harvest from DNR lands. Interviews with mill executives indicate that although Washington typically exports significant quantities of logs, and although DNR logs represent a relatively small proportion of log inputs to most mills in the state, DNR logs are an essential and reliable year-round source of logs to ensure mills are running at full capacity. However, if mills in the future were to be able to acquire sufficient logs and sustain production despite less harvest from DNR lands (such as might occur in periods when log exports fall),then total economic impacts related to mills and the pulp and paper industry would be lower or even zero. In sum, actual changes in economic activity due to changes in harvest will depend on whether reduced harvest on DNR lands is offset at all by increased harvest on other lands and whether mills can access alternative sources of logs. For this reason, the analysis separately presents impacts related to logging, mill production, and pulp and paper production. As discussed in more detail in the following section, 'other economic benefits',this analysis explored the potential for other effects of Marbled Murrelet habitat preservation to offset the reduction in timber/forestry sector economic activity, including effects related to enhanced ecosystem services or restoration. While identifying the likely social,environmental,and economic benefits of this habitat preservation,this analysis did not identify effects on regional economic activity that would be expected to arise from the reduced harvest levels specified in the HCP.This analysis focuses solely on effects in the forestry/timber products sectors and the related ripple effects in other economic sectors. Table 9 summarizes the potential total economic impacts (including direct, indirect, and induced impacts) of reduced harvests on DNR lands under the two conservation strategies. Annual impacts under the Interim Strategy are estimated to be a reduction of up to approximately 190 jobs and$15.1 million in labor 24 MASON BRUCE&GIRARD income. Annual impacts under the 2019 HCP Amendment are estimated to potentially affect up to 220 jobs and$17.3 million in income.

Figure 8 shows that of these potential effects,the effects on the logging industry and associated related industries supported by logging(i.e., direct, indirect,and induced effect)account for approximately 35%to 45%of the total estimated impacts across all sectors. In other words,the economic impact of changes in DNR harvests is much more limited if mill production is not affected. In terms of the multiplier effect on other sectors,as shown in Figure 8,overall,approximately 40 to 45%of the employment impacts are direct effects experienced in the logging and mill sectors. In comparison,about 60 to 75%of the income effects are directly experienced in the logging and mill sectors. This means that for every 100 jobs of total economic impact presented in this analysis,approximately 40-45 jobs are in the forest sector, and for every$1 million in total income impacts, approximately$600,000-$750,000 of labor income is in the forest sector. This translates to multipliers of approximately 2.2 for employment and 1.5 for income across logging and mills; in other words,for every one job in logging or mills, approximately another 1.2 are supported elsewhere in the economy,while for every$1 of income in logging or mills, roughly$0.50 of income is supported elsewhere in the economy. 25 fr MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD Employment Labor Income ■Logging ■Logging •Sawmill/Plywood/Chipping/Etc. •Sawmill/Plywood/Chipping/Etc.

Cost savings could include reduced water treatment costs,flood-related costs, wildfire-related costs, or decreased road maintenance associated with logging. Increased county fiscal revenues could be associated with the sale of credits on ecosystem markets or through economic development related to the Marbled Murrelet and its habitat conservation. 32 I. MASON BRUCE s GIRARD Quantification of economic benefits requires understanding how the HCP conservation strategies would cause a biophysical change in each key ecosystem service. For example,to estimate the economic value of improved water quality,the analyst needs a thorough understanding of how the HCP strategies affect specific water quality parameters,such as sediment loads, nutrient loads, and water clarity.The task then becomes estimating the economic and social values associated with those changes. Ideally,to identify the additional ecosystem services resulting from the Murrelet decisions in the HCP,we would compare the Interim Strategy or the 2019 HCP Amendment to a baseline of how the Forest would be managed with no Marbled Murrelet specific conservation.The FEIS, however,does not provide such a baseline,and constructing one is beyond the scope of this study.'° The 2019 Final Environmental Impact Statement for the HCP does, however, include a discussion of the effects of the HCP alternatives on ecosystem services.The FEIS compared alternative conservation strategies,which varied on the low end of 9,000 acres(Alternative B)to a high of 176,000 acres (Alternative F)of Marbled Murrelet-specific conservation. In addition to benefiting the Marbled Murrelet, the FEIS concluded that strategies with more habitat conservation would result in: (1) small increases in carbon sequestration; (2)some positive impacts to wildlife species that benefit from older forest conditions; (3) increased forest resilience to wildfire and climate change; and (4) no significant impacts on recreation,water quality,flood regulation, soil stability,or overall habitat and species diversity. In the FEIS,the DNR suggests, and we agree,that the following factors may limit the Marbled Murrelet- related changes in many ecosystem services: 1. The provision of many ecosystem services depends on conditions at the watershed or landscape scale. For example,water quality or fish habitat in a stream depends on land uses and activities in all areas farther up the watershed, air quality depends on the land uses and activities in each airshed,etc. Since the total acreage of conserved Marbled Murrelet-only habitat is small relative to total forestlands in each County(Table 1313), and since the conserved habitat(and associated ecosystem service benefit) is typically spatially distributed in relatively small parcels throughout each County,ecosystem service contributions from each of the parcels are marginal. io We essentially created a baseline for the financial and economic impacts associated with timber revenue. That is possible because the timber production functions are well known and are not location specific. Production of other environmental services, however, are vastly more complicated, depending on the spatial location of specific tracts and sometimes complex interactions between subject acres and nearby acres. 33 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD Interim Strategy 2019 HCP Amendment MM Only Acreage MM Only Acreage HCP % %Forest % HCP % %Forest % County Acreage DNR Lands Forest Acreage DNR Lands Forest Lands Managed Lands Lands Managed for Lands for Timbers Timbers Wahkiakum 3,878 10% 3% 3% 4,461 11% 3% 4% Clallam 12,049 7% 3% 2% 11,104 7% 2% 2% Pacific 3,200 4% 1% 1% 4,891 6% 1% 1% Jefferson 7,849 4% 2% 2% 10,091 5% 3% 2% Whatcom 1,084 1% 1% 0% 2,928 3% 1% 1% Grays-Harbor 2,029 2% 0% 0% 889 1% 0% 0% Skagit 895 1% 0% 0% 1,366 1% 0% 0% Snohomish 534 0% 0% 0% 1,341 1% 1% 0% Cowlitz - 0% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% Island - 0% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% King 170 0% 0% 0% 8 0% 0% 0% Kitsap 16 0% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% Kittitas - 0% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% Lewis 557 1% 0% 0% 258 0% 0% 0% Mason 169 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 117 I Pierce 62 0% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% San-Juan - 0% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% Thurston 334 1% 0% 0% - 0% 0% 0% Table 13: Marbled Murrelet specific conservation acreage relative to other forestlands, by County Source:Highland Economics analysis of acreage data provided by MB&G. 1/This is estimated as forestlands owned by state or local governments,plus private forestlands with trees aged less than 60 years. 2. Other environmental regulations reduce the potentially adverse environmental effects of timber harvest on DNR lands and help protect the provision of ecosystem services. For example, regulations for riparian buffer zones help protect water quality and riparian/aquatic species. However,the incremental benefit of setting aside additional Marbled Murrelet conservation areas on key ecosystem services such as water quality,water quantity,flood regulation, and fish habitat provision is challenging to measure, and the additional economic value is likely small, particularly given the spatial dispersion of the Marbled Murrelet habitat. 3. With or without the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies,the subject acres will be managed as forestland. While unharvested lands might provide more or higher quality ecosystem services than recently harvested land,the services will change as the harvested acres are regenerated and grow new stands. The difference in ecosystem services on the ground that remains in timber 34 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD management is less than when the land is converted to a different land use like residential development. 4. Specific to recreation,there are relatively few developed recreation facilities or trails on the subject acres—across all HCP alternatives in the Final EIS,there are only three campgrounds and five motorized trail areas. Benefits to recreationists of the conservation strategies are therefore limited.'Potential restrictions on recreation development and expansion in Marbled Murrelet conservation areas could potentially reduce recreation benefits in some conservation areas.

However,the FEIS indicates that effects on game species,fish, birds,and other recreationally important species may be minor. 35 MASON BRUCE&GIRARD While all the types of socio-economic benefits from ecosystem services identified above are possible,we expect that the most likely revenue benefit to counties is related to potential revenues from carbon sequestration. Unrelated to ecosystem services, one other type of revenue benefit that we considered but estimated to be very minor is potential cost savings to counties from reduced road maintenance due to a reduction in logging truck activity.12 Consequently,our analysis focuses on the potential for revenue from carbon sequestration,as discussed below. Potential for Revenue from Carbon Sequestration The FEIS notes that Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies are expected to increase the amount of timber inventory, and therefore carbon sequestered on DNR-managed lands relative to what would occur under management in the absence of the conservation strategies.Carbon sequestration associated with changes in forest management is eligible in many carbon markets as carbon offset credits. Carbon credits are traded in both voluntary markets and regulatory markets. In these markets,carbon offset projects are required to meet strict conditions before they are eligible to replace emissions credits. For example,the three most widely used carbon registries (Verified Carbon Standard,the American Carbon registry,and the Climate Action Reserve) require some form of: • Measurability—The carbon sequestered or emission reduced must be quantifiable. • Verifiability—Projects must be verified by an independent organization. • Additionality—Projects must result in an additional removal of green-house gas beyond what is provided by the status quo condition. • Permanence—Project must ensure sequestration is not lost due to foreseen or unforeseen circumstances(such as wildfire, disease, land-use change, etc.). Numerous local, state,and national carbon markets have been created across the world. In Washington, the Washington Department of Ecology adopted the Clean Air Rule (CAR) in 2016,which aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the state. The CAR required certain businesses to cap and reduce their carbon emissions(a baseline and credit system). While there is still uncertainty regarding the implementation and timing of the CAR, a market for carbon in Washington State appears imminent. As 121n Washington, County road maintenance costs are offset to some degree by fuel taxes and a public utility tax(PUT)that is based on annual gross revenue. If these taxes completely offset the road damage incurred by hauling logs,then there would be no savings to County road costs from reduced harvest. Conversely, if the taxes do not fully offset the damage,then presumably less log hauling would result in reduced County road costs. We are unaware of any studies that estimate the damage from log hauling on Washington roads. However, we did a very approximate analysis using available national data on road maintenance costs and trucking to estimate potential road maintenance cost savings from reduced hauling. We then compared those approximate costs to the potential reduced revenues from reduced logging truck fuel taxes and public utility tax(PUT)that is based on annual logging truck gross revenue. The analysis indicated that any net cost savings(reduced maintenance costs less reduced tax revenues)to counties would be minor. 36 MASON.BRUCE s GIRARD originally written, 67%of Washington's GHG emissions would have been covered,and the industries covered by the rule would increase every three years. Further, covered sectors could use carbon offsets (reduced emissions or increased sequestration in other locations)to meet their compliance obligation. Only offsets generated in Washington State are eligible,which would likely increase demand substantially for forest sequestration offsets in WA State. The price for carbon offsets in regulatory markets tends to be higher than in voluntary markets. For example, in the largest regulatory market in the Western United States,the California Cap and Trade Program,the average auction price for emissions credits in 2020 was approximately$17 per metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent(mtCO2e).Still,the price for offsets from projects such as forest carbon sequestration was approximately$14 per mtCO2e (California Air Resources Board, 2020).13 According to research conducted by the Ecosystem Marketplace, as of 2018, prices in voluntary carbon markets generally ranged from $3 to$6 per mtCO2e, but with wide variation in prices, including up to$70 per mtCO2e for specific projects(with higher prices tending to be for specific projects providing other benefits) (Ecosystem Marketplace, 2018).A more recent report released in 2020 by Ecosystem Marketplace found that forest and land use sequestration projects had an annual average price of$4.3 per mtCO2e(Ecosystem Marketplace, 2020). Based on these prices,we use a range in price of between$4 and $14 per mtCO2e. The DNR does not propose the sale of carbon credits,and no revenue is expected to be generated for the trusts by carbon sequestration. In our view, an attempt to register carbon credits resulting from changes in forest management associated with the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies would face fundamental obstacles. The existing carbon credit markets require sellers to demonstrate that the carbon sequestration from a given project is 'additional'; in other words,that the carbon represented in the credits would not otherwise be sequestered in the absence of the carbon market. Since the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies were first adopted in 1997 to avoid take under the Endangered Species Act, it is our view that any effort to develop carbon sequestration credits from the subject acres would run into problems meeting the additionality requirement. Understanding that it would be difficult to register carbon credits associated with the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies, it is still worth estimating the potential revenue to determine whether the reward is significant enough to investigate further. To that end,we set aside the additionality problem and make a rough estimate of potential revenue from carbon sequestration related to the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies on the subject acres. There is substantial uncertainty regarding the number of credits that could be generated on the subject acres. However,there are several forestry carbon projects generating credits on Washington timberlands, and we look to these projects to estimate the total increased sequestration that may be supported on subject acres versus regular timber management without the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies. In our view,the most similar of the projects that have been accredited in Washington is the Nisqually 13 Assuming they meet all requirements established for the California offset market, Washington forest carbon offsets can be eligible for sale in the California market. However,out of state offsets are limited in that at least half the offsets used for compliance in California must come from projects that directly benefit California. 37 MASON,BRUCE&GIRARO Carbon Project(a project by the Washington Environmental Council and the Nisqually Land Trust) near Mt. Rainier National Park. That project seeks to develop endangered species habitat, specifically older, structurally complex forests.This project appears similar to the DNR's Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies areas, with 55%of the area 50 years old or older,and we use this project to make a first estimate of the potential number of credits that could be attributed to the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies on the subject acres. Through restoration,the 520-acre Nisqually Carbon Project is expected to generate 37,000 carbon offset credits in the first verification phase(approximately 71 credits per acre,with more projected to come in later years).14 After 40 years,the project is projected to double the amount of carbon stored,from 223 mtCO2e to 445 mtCO2e per acre (or approximately 220 credits per acre,for an increase of nearly four mtCO2e each year). In addition,the project must retain the forest carbon for 100 years after each year that the credits are sold",guaranteeing permanence (Washington Environmental Council, 2015). For our calculation,we assume that the total carbon currently stored and the increase in carbon over time from the Nisqually Carbon Project is similar to what could be expected from the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies on the subject acres.l6 Based on these assumptions,the potential value of carbon credits from the subject acres is presented in Table 15. We assume a price of between$4 and $14 per metric ton credit and further assume that the lands can generate approximately 70 credits per acre today, rising to 220 credits per acre in 40 years, consistent with the Nisqually Project projections.With these assumptions,the present value of carbon sequestration in Marbled Murrelet conservation areas comes to$600 to$2,110 per acre (using a discount rate of 3%). Note that this is the gross revenue;the net revenue would be less as compliance and transaction costs associated with verification and measurement may be up to approximately$100/acre or more over the life of the project, reducing value per acre to roughly$500 to$2,000 over the next 40 years. Annualizing this over 40 years,this equates to approximately$20 to$90 per acre per year. Table 16 estimated annual net value to each county. In total,these initial calculations suggest that the annualized net value could fall within the range of$650,000 to$3,400,000 across all Counties. Note, however,that using values from the Nisqually Carbon Project could greatly overstate the carbon credits from Marbled Murrelet-specific conservation areas if credits are based only on the additional carbon stored going forward—about half of the credits come from the existing inventory, and it would be difficult for DNR and the Counties to claim additionality for the existing inventory given DNR's past and existing forest management plans. Furthermore,the Nisqually Project may be projecting more sequestration than DNR would. The FEIS indicates that changes in carbon sequestration over 50 years between the alternatives would differ by only approximately 1 to 1.5 percent, even though the alternatives differed by 14 This includes 9,000 credits that are included in the forest buffer account. 15 Microsoft purchased 35,000 credits as part of its effort to meet its voluntary commitment to carbon neutrality. 16 In the Nisqually project area, 55%of the forest was 50 years or older,with some 70-and 100-year-old stands. 38 MASON,BRUCE&GIRARD as much as 143,000 acres in Marbled Murrelet-specific conservation areas.As such,the values in Table 15 and Table 166 are likely maximum potential carbon values that the Counties could receive.

Managed on a long-term sustainable basis,those acres could have generated each year a harvest of about 18.4 MMbf, $5.6 million of harvest revenue, 190 jobs, and $15.1 million in wages in local economies. Counties and taxing districts, furthermore,would have received about$1.275 million per year from harvest and tax revenue shared by the State. These figures could be multiplied by 20 to estimate the financial and economic losses incurred since the Interim Strategy was in place. In 2019,the DNR finalized the long-term conservation strategy(2019 HCP Amendment)for the Marbled Murrelet, increasing the lands set aside solely for the Marbled Murrelet to 37,000 acres. Going forward, these acres could have produced 21.4 MMbf of annual harvest on a sustainable basis,generating$6.6 in total revenue, 220 jobs,and $17.3 million in wages. Counties and taxing districts would receive about $1.260 million per year from harvest and tax revenue shared by the State. These losses could be multiplied by 20 to estimate future losses over the next 20-year period. The financial and economic impacts from the Marbled Murrelet conservations strategies are concentrated in Clallam,Wahkiakum, Pacific,Jefferson, and Grays Harbor Counties-which account for a small percentage of the State's economy. 40 MASON,BRUCE&GIRARD Reductions in timber harvest due to the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies may have positive benefits in terms of ecosystem services. The DNR, however,was unable to quantify such benefits and opined that they were small. We agree. I Murrelet conservation strategies couldproduce positive financial We examined whether the Marbled g benefits on County road budgets. Our calculations suggest that there is little if any such benefit. We also evaluated the potential value of carbon sequestration credits from the harvest restrictions stemming from the Marbled Murrelet conservation strategies. We estimate that the impacted acres are sequestering about$1 million per year in potential carbon credits at current prices. We did not estimate the transaction costs,which could be substantial. We believe,furthermore,that the "additionality" requirement of the cap-and-trade carbon regulatory systems would disqualify these credits. 41 MASON,BRUCE sGIRARD Appendix A h D i n WSAC 2020 Marbled Murrelet Economic Impact S reads eet es p p g Documentation and Results Tom Baribault, Mark Rasmussen 1. Background This document records assumptions, procedures,and results from the Washington State Association of Counties(WSAC) study to estimate financial impacts of WA Department of Natural Resources(DNR) Marbled Murrelet(MM)conservation on timber harvest and tax revenues for Western Washington Counties.The objective is to compare the change in harvest, revenue, and taxation between the MM "Interim Strategy" originally adopted in 1997, and the Long-Term Conservation Strategy(LTCS) approved in 2019 ("2019 HCP Amendment"). In the DNR Final Environmental Impact Statement 1(FEIS),the Interim Strategy is referred to as"Alternative A" and the preferred LTCS was"Alternative H". From this point forward we adopt terminology of"Interim Strategy"to refer to Alternative A,and the "2019 HCP Amendment" in reference to Alternative H.The only exception to this convention will be in Tables 4 and 5, where the "Alternative" designation is used to simplify table formatting. Forest asset data were provided to MB&G by DNR 2; County tax district spatial data (2019)were also furnished by DNR,originally downloaded by DNR from the WA Department of Revenue.This study adopts assumptions of timber yield and prices represented in the current DNR Sustainable Harvest Calculation3 (SHC). Prices were justified by internal DNR documentation, made available for this project by DNR'. Timber yields by forest cover, site index,and age will be reported in terms of Mean Annual Increment (MAI),expressed in units of board feet(BdFt) per acre per year. Log prices will be provided as Stumpage, or the total log revenue with logging and haul cost subtracted;actual logging and haul costs are implicit in DNR's model assumptions and are not reconstructed here.The DNR Geographic Information System (GIS) for all forest asset spatial data is referred to as the Large Data Overlay(LDO).We extracted polygon layers from the LDO in Western Washington that encompass DNR ownership,with additional tabular layers relevant to MM conservation status. Our task was to compute the difference in timber yield and revenue between the Interim Strategy and the 2019 HCP Amendment,for which we needed several discrete inputs: 1. Areas in DNR's Western Washington land base within the habitat range for MM. 2. Areas in (1) reserved for any type of conservation purpose. 3. Areas within (2) reserved solely for MM conservation, no other conservation objectives. 4. Taxing districts(name and County)encompassing each area from (3). lhttps://www.dnr.wa.gov/mmltcs 2Mike Buffo(Mike.Buffo@dnr.wa.gov) 3https://www.dnr.wa.gov/shc °McLeod, Scott. 2016.

Although we provided a shapefile version of this composite to WSAC at completion of this contract,we caution that for future use this data stack should be reconstructed from its component parts to represent the most contemporary picture of DNR's forest asset. In this section we summarize the yield and stumpage derived from DNR LDO and Woodstock model assumptions. 1.1.1 Stumpage To justify using DNR stumpage value projections,which do not change in the future, we quote at length from the Conclusions section of DNR's internal stumpage document: "This exercise examined the stumpage prices received from DNR timber sales over the last 40 years in relation to inflation and shows that in every Region,except NE, actual stumpage prices have not kept pace with inflation.Since the mid 1990s,stumpage prices have actually decreased despite inflation increasing at 2 to 3%annually.Given that stumpage has failed to keep pace with inflation and the fact that economists forecast a flat future for stumpage,the use of a stumpage appreciation rate is not warranted when evaluating silvicultural investments in any Region of the State. Since 2006,the DNR Silviculture program has recommended that foresters initiate financial forecasts using today's local three-or five-year average stumpage prices to represent the most realistic starting point to evaluate the performance of silvicultural investments.That recommendation continues today." The SHC uses stumpage values calculated for 2017.We update these values to 2020 terms using the producer price index(PPI, https://fred.stlouisfed.org).At the time of writing,the 2017 to 2020 PPI ratio was 0.98, so a 2017-dollar value in 2020 terms is lower than its original quantity. 1.1.2 Yields The DNR uses a set of yield tables'originally developed in the US Forest Service software Forest Vegetation Simulator6.Yields are specific to forest cover type (Douglas-fir(DF), red alder(RA), or western hemlock (WH)), and within cover type by site class(Classes 1, 2, 3,or 4, listed in descending order of productivity). In their original form, each yield is expressed as a potential harvest volume at a given model year.We have converted yield to the Mean Annual Increment(MAI) by dividing potential 5Provided to WSAC and MB&G by DNR's Abu Nurullah (DNR) 5https://www.fs.fed.us/fvs/software/index.shtml 44 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD harvest volume by stand age.Yields were provided for a broad array of silvicultural pathways as well. In this study,we assume that even-aged silviculture would have been conducted but for the MM conservation designation.Yields also vary by region,for which DNR applies a scalar multiplier defined in the Woodstock model.We provide the full yield set to WSAC in its original form of a MS Access database (westside_shc_yields_vl.accdb), adding a table with the scalar multipliers for each region.

Most Counties Assessors' Offices responded with levy rate sheets either as a spreadsheet where rates were entered in standardized format,or by directing to a web link. Five Counties did not respond to the request for levy rates: Island, King, Pacific,Skagit,and Wahkiakum Counties. Skagit County Assessor did reply with some rates, but the spreadsheet was incomplete.We corroborated the provided rates with the publicly available levy rate sheet and filled in missing rates from there. Grays Harbor County Assessor also responded but directed us to the levy sheets published online.The complete set of 2020 levy rates is provided to WSAC as a spreadsheet rather than printed tables because there are 1,145 combinations of tax district and County for 2020,which is inefficient to reproduce in this format. Trust lands provide different revenues depending on the type and varying by the specific location within each County and set of taxing districts.Timber harvest revenues from most Trust lands are subject to a 5% Timber Harvest Tax(THT),of which 1%is paid to the State and 4%is paid to the County. In addition,on State Forest Purchase(SFP)and State Forest Transfer(SFT) lands,a fraction of the timber harvest revenue is allocated to County tax districts,distributed in proportion to all of the districts that overlay a given parcel.A complete accounting of the distribution of timber harvest revenues to Counties by tax districts is as follows: 1. Of the 5%THT,the County share is 4%. 2. Where Trust is State Forest Purchase,the County share is 26.5%;the State School Levy is not assessed. 3. Where Trust is State Forest Transfer,the County share is 75.0%;the State School Levy is assessed. 4. Within a parcel,the set of taxing districts includes(a)County General Fund, (b)State School Levy(see (3)), and (c) all other sub-districts,e.g. Fire, EMS, local school,etc. Revenue share from (2)or(3) is distributed in proportion to levy rate. The difference in SFP and SFT revenue percentages is sourced from https://www.dnr.wa.gov/about/fiscal- reports/dnr-annual-reports, which can be downloaded as .pdf, and which we provide in the file archive to WSAC.The harvest tax percentage is reported at https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/other-taxes/forest-tax. Some further explanation is necessary regarding distribution to taxing districts.As an example, suppose a parcel is on SFP land in two taxing districts, a local school district with levy rate of $2.5000 and a fire district with levy rate of$1.4500,and where the General Fund levy is$1.5000 and the State School Levy is$3.0000.As SFP,the State School Levy does not apply.The county share of the revenue,which is 26.5%, is therefore distributed among the school and fire districts,and to the general fund.The sum of levy rates in this case is 2.5+ 1.45+ 1.5= 5.45; the percentage of revenue apportioned to the school district is 2.5/5.45=45.87%;to the fire district 1.45/5.45= 26.6%, and to the general fund 1.5/5.45= 27.5%. z i 47 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD mr In the alternate case where the parcel is on SFT land,the original revenue fraction is 75%, and the State School Levy would be included in the sum of levy rates.Therefore,each district percentage would be the quotient of the levy rate and a denominator of 8.45, resulting in e.g. a State School Levy percentage of 3/8.45=35.5%.The State School Levy assessed on SFT lands is sent first to the State and returns to Counties via a needs-based set of criteria. It is beyond the scope of this report to investigate the State School Levy structure. We deduct the State School Levy fraction from subsequent calculations of the County revenue share and provide the caveat that certain counties may receive a larger portion of this revenue than others.

County Revenue Results Integrating the preceding information, including Trust,yield, and tax district set,we can calculate total revenue,timber harvest tax(THT)to Counties, and the County share of the revenue prior to exclusion of the State School Levy. In this section,we calculate total revenue,THT,and the County share for rotation lengths of 60 and 70 years because it is most likely that DNR would pursue even-aged silviculture with a 60 to 70 year rotation were these lands not designated for MM conservation. We also provide in spreadsheet form these revenue calculations for rotation lengths of 50 and 80 years,should WSAC wish to estimate differences in revenue where local specifics indicate atypical management objectives. The revenue figures in Tables 4 and 5 should be interpreted as the average annual revenue foregone solely due to MM conservation regulations in the affected Counties. Were the MM conservation regulations not in place, and assuming DNR managed the MM-only lands using even-aged silvicultural regimes on a 60- year or 70-year rotation,these revenues would result from the harvest across the entire asset in a typical year.Given that the total acreage of MM-only conservation lands in the 30,000 acre range,on the level of the entire asset it is likely that the annual revenues reported here could be realized, because harvest would be occurring on approximately 580 acres in the 2019 HCP Amendment versus 505 acres in the Interim Strategy(65-year rotation).We caution against expecting these revenues at smaller spatial scales, particularly where the acreage in the focal area falls substantially below the annual likely harvest acreage. At the very smallest spatial scale,the individual LDO parcel,the concept of an 'annual revenue' does not apply. A specific parcel managed on a 60-year or 70-year rotation can only produce revenue in one year out of the rotation length. Predicting the spatial configuration of potential harvest is not feasible. Preliminary investigation of the DNR SHC spatial solution found only about 20%overlap between planned timber sales and the Woodstock spatial solution on managed lands. Longer-term projections cannot be spatially determined with any precision. In Table 4, we present revenues summarized by region within each strategy,and by forest cover type (species) within region.Assuming a 70-year rotation, MM-only conservation lands under the Interim Strategy would have yielded $5,587,904 total annual revenue,while under the 2019 HCP Amendment could yield $6,550,941 total annual revenue. In Table 5, we show foregone revenues on the MM-only conservation lands separated by Trust. Note that while the 2019 HCP Amendment dedicates 4,360 more acres to MM conservation overall,the acreage in State Forest Transfer land is actually lower in the 2019 HCP Amendment(11,107 acres)than in the Interim Strategy(11,845 acres). Most County revenues are derived from SFT lands with their 75%share in the total harvest revenue.Consequently,while the 2019 HCP Amendment has more overall acreage dedicated to MM-only conservation,the probable average annual county share of revenue (inclusive of State School Levy) was actually larger under the Interim Strategy($1,509,750 per year)than it would be under the 2019 HCP Amendment($1,427,485 per year). The greatest difference between the Interim Strategy and the 2019 HCP Amendment falls on the Federal Grant lands, where the Common School Trust represented 11,464 acres in the Interim Strategy, increasing to 14,009 acres in the 2019 HCP Amendment.These Trust lands furnish zero revenue to the Counties outside of THT, however, so the increase in acreage does not translate to a proportional reduction in revenue. } 49 MASON,BRUCE s GIRARD _ Cr) N O O a O a N CO N.

Spreadsheet Utility for Financial Impact Estimation An important element of this project was to provide a repeatable method that WSAC can use to explore financial impacts of Marbled Murrelet conservation regulations in specific geographic areas(Counties, taxing districts), as well as the capability to estimate financial impacts of future changes to conservation regulations on DNR land,which may be MM-related or other types of conservation. In this section,we present the foundation for a financial impact spreadsheet utility and point out where other methods or software platforms beyond the spreadsheet must be employed. 3.1 Structure and Procedures The financial impacts of MM conservation regulations on DNR land result from the interaction of MM rules with political features of the land base. Of relevance to Counties is the effect of conservation on THT,and on the share of revenues that are paid to Counties from the total harvest revenue. Identify polygons affected by removal policy Compatible Automated GIS of impacted Mergeof polygons format of update to areas sharing common area district district overlay attributes impacts forest type, silvicultural regime,and site factors Figure 2:Some preliminary steps must occur in a GIS framework to combine information pertaining to conservation rules on DNR parcels with information about Trusts and County taxing districts.After the GIS preparation,the current spreadsheet tool provides the capability to estimate financial impacts of conservation in terms of THT and the County share of total harvest revenue. A completely spreadsheet-based approach to the financial impacts of conservation regulations is likely not possible.The only direct way to connect the conservation areas with the County information is via a spatial join, which must be done using GIS software.The particular software used could be ESRI ArcGIS7, QGIS8,or spatial packages in scripting languages like R or Python. 52 0 MASON BRUCE&GIRARD 1. Spreadsheet Tab"SHEET_1_POLYS" MB&G used a combination of ArcMap,QGIS, and R for different aspects of this work. Data dependencies include the DNR Large Data Overlay(LDO)and a contemporary set of County tax district boundaries.We received both of these spatial layers from DNR,and consulted with DNR to confirm correct understanding of, in this case,the definition of MM-only conservation. In the LDO table MM_ALTS, a parcel is considered MM-only conservation of the MM_A_RSN (for the Interim Strategy)or MM_H1_RSN (for the 2019 HCP Amendment)field contained only elements from the following list: 'NEWLYID', 'OCC', 'OCCBUFF', 'POTEN', 'RECLASS', 'SUITABLE', 'SWWA_ADDDEF', EA', 'HFMIBUFF', 'PSTAGE', 'SHA', `MMMA', 'OESF_OFBUFF', 'OESF_OLDFOR', 'NSO_LOW', 'WDFW_PSTAGE', 'USFWS_MMMA', `VRH', 'UNSUIT' And where MM_A_ZN or MM_H1_ZN is a member of the following list, indicating it is LTFC: 'OUTER_EDGE', 'STRING', 'INNER_EDGE', 'INNER_FOREST' We selected the subset of LDO polygons (parcels) meeting these criteria for each strategy and exported these polygons as separate layers.Forest cover type,site index,and age class information was attached from the LDO table RIU.The GIS analysts at DNR have prepared the LDO such that one of the criteria for defining a parcel boundary is the boundary of County taxing districts. With the present set of parcels, the LDO and taxing districts are compatible, but future changes to the taxing districts may occur without communication to DNR, so a step should be taken to ensure that LDO parcels fall entirely within particular tax district polygons.With the previous criteria established,we implemented a spatial join by centroid(within)to attach the set of County tax districts affiliated with each LDO polygon designated as MM-only conservation area. Both the MM-only LDO spatial layer and the tax districts layer will be made available to WSAC as ESRI shapefiles(.shp). For calculation of financial impacts in the future,whether changes to MM regulations or other conservation measures, it will be necessary to repeat the above procedure with the appropriate set of DNR parcel boundaries. The new parcel boundaries must be substituted for the MM-only parcels, and the tax district layer should be updated when the next project is undertaken. 2. Spreadsheet Tabs"SHEET_2_YIELD" and "SHEET_3_STMPG" Yield information from DNR's Woodstock model (Table 2)was attached to this combined spatial layer via the RIU_ID,which is a secondary ID field in the LDO used to denote forest development attributes. DNR regularly audits yield performance but may not make substantial changes for periods of time.The yields included with the spreadsheet tool should be valid as long as the 2018 SHC is in operation, but DNR may make unannounced yield changes, so the yield provenance should be checked in future projects. 7ESRI Arc GIS Software https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/index 8QGIS Software https://ggis.org/en/site/ updates to the MM-only impacts. 53 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD The DNR Woodstock model uses stumpage to communicate value (Table 1). Logging and haul cost are implicit in the stumpage price. For this spreadsheet tool, we have adopted all of DNR's assumptions, including regional suitability of the implicit logging and haul estimates, and no provision for a systematic increase(or decrease) in stumpage prices in the future. 3. Spreadsheet Tabs "SHEET_4_SPLIT" and "SHEET_5_TXDST" The distribution of revenues to THT and to Counties by Trust(Table 3, replicated in "SHEET_4_SPLIT") is likely to remain unchanged without significant legislative action.All DNR lands within a county will continue to provide a 4%THT to Counties,SFP lands will provide a 26.5%share of harvest revenue,and SFT lands will provide a 75%share of harvest revenue. Levy rates for each County Tax District ("SHEET_5_TXDST")are subject to change on a regular basis as the result of local elections or policy decisions.While the set of levy rates we present here is up to date for 2020,future estimates of financial impacts should reacquire levy rates. 4. Spreadsheet Process The spreadsheet utility is implemented in MS Excel,with a separate file for the Interim Strategy (County_Revenues_WA_DNR_MM_FEIS_Alt_A.xlsx),the 2019 HCP Amendment (County_Revenues_WA_DNR_MM_FEIS_Alt_H.xlsx),and the difference between the two strategies (County_Revenues_WA_DNR_MM_FEIS_Delta_A_H.xlsx). Rotation length is set in cell A2 of the Delta spreadsheet.These spreadsheets are dependent on a set of data files (County_Revs_Alt_X_sNN.csv); all files should be placed in a common directory to maintain functionality. Using the collected data from parts 1 through 4,we set up a procedure(Figure 4)to link MM-only parcels to average annual harvest,to enable a selection of rotation length, and to aggregate harvest volume and revenue by County and tax district group. •Process_1_Revenues Attach revenues •Cardinality:SHEET_1_POLYS to yields •Link to yields using Sheet 2 primary key •Link to revenues using Sheet 3 primary key t •Set rotation length(50,60,70,or 80) " •Compute timber harvest tax(link using Sheet 4 primary key) •Compute normalized district revenue for unique district set(link using Sheet 1 ,•` `% primary key •Sum of county-level volume(Mbf/year), revenue,harvest tax,and county share I •Sum of tax-district-level revenue Figure 3: Spreadsheet model architecture to translate foregone timber harvest from MM-only conservation areas into tax revenues by County and tax district. 54 • MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD The spreadsheet version of County level revenue share differs from revenue by region (Table 4) and by trust(Table 5) in that we have deducted the State School Levy(SSL)from the direct County share.Some SSL revenue will return to schools in each County, but the precise amount that returns to each County is not a function of timber harvest. Because other State policies govern the SSL return,the consequence of MM-only conservation measures on the SSL fraction of revenue is indirect. Considerations for future updates Parcel data will likely be acquired from DNR in an efficient form for GIS,that is,where one row corresponds to one polygon.To ensure compatibility with the spreadsheet tool,a user must aggregate parcel acreages where polygons share a common: County,Trust,TH1 (cover type species),TH2 (site index), TH3 (silvicultural Rx),age class,and WA DNR forest inventory grouping ID (RIU_ID, available from WA DNR LDO Large Data Overlay). By necessity, any tax district data must be entered in one or more fields assigned to the polygon,whether this is accomplished manually or as the result of an output from a spatial join operation. Computations to summarize revenue must therefore occur on rows,as arithmetic combinations of columns,where each row is the combination of polygons(parcels)sharing a common trust,age,etc. Columns encode information about acreage,yield,tax district,and County. Scalar quantities should be editable to accommodate future legal change,which is achieved in the MS Excel format. We have archived these quantities (district key, rates,etc.) in lookup tables, and each VLOOKUP()statement in the utility refers to the entire sheet of the lookup rather than solely to the extent of the existing set. If a new row(e.g.tax district) must be introduced to a lookup table: 1. A new corresponding field would need to be built in the GIS and the spreadsheet tool inputs. 2. An existing field with suitable County,Trust,TH1,TH2, etc.would need to be augmented with additional acreage from the new parcel(s). Examples of such changes might include revised tax district levy rates from County Assessors, changes in DNR Trust land ownership, or future changes to the THT rate share allocated to the Counties. 3.2 Results The spreadsheet tool allows the user to explore financial impacts of MM-only conservation under the prior Interim Strategy or the current 2019 HCP Amendment,and contrasting the change, expressed as Interim Strategy—2019-HCP Amendment= Delta,where a negative Delta value indicates greater loss to Counties under the 2019 HCP Amendment.These comparisons may be tested for rotation lengths 50, 60, 70, and 80 years,covering the range of possible even-aged management systems likely for public land in Western WA. In this section,we report results for a 70-year rotation,which the DNR has informed MB&G and the WSAC Steering Committee is a most probable length for the affected Trust lands.The spreadsheet tool computes results for only one rotation length at a time.We also output .csv versions of each rotation length should the user wish to explore these without manually changing the rotation length cell. 55 f MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD 3.2.1 Financial Impacts of Marbled Murrelet Conservation: 1997-2019 The Interim Strategy was adopted by WA DNR in 1997.Annual financial impacts of MM-only conservation on DNR lands, in terms of 2020 dollars, would have occurred each year from 1997 to 2019,after which the LTCS was adopted.The cumulative financial impacts of the Interim Strategy would therefore apply over 22 years during that interval.A strict accounting of MM impacts would necessitate reconstructing regional DNR stumpage prices since 1997, but it is not possible to know the precise locations of timber harvest in the counterfactual case where the MM-only trust lands were available for management. Instead,we cite the DNR's observation that stumpage prices since approximately 2000 have been largely flat, in that any gains from good markets were essentially cancelled out by losses during poor markets. It is therefore a reasonable approximation to attribute current regional stumpage prices to hypothetical harvests from MM-only lands under the Interim Strategy from 1997 to 2019. If managed on a 70-year rotation,the MM-only trust lands defined in the Interim Strategy could have yielded 18,410 Mbf per year, or 405,020 over the 22-year span of the interim conservation plan (Table 6). Expressed in 2020 dollars,the total cumulative harvest from MM-only lands could have been valued at $123,007,720. Excluding State School Levy,the County share of the timber harvest revenue from State Forest Trust lands could have been$23,180,982,with an attendant THT share of$4,872,868.The fraction of county-level revenue apportioned to each taxing district is reported (Table 7), but we reiterate the recommendation to interpret revenues at these smaller scales as a long-term average. In any particular year, it cannot be predicted whether the timber asset on a specific parcel would have been selected for harvest in the absence of MM conservation.One further note, in Tables 7,and 10-13, revenue distribution to junior taxing districts is shown for all Counties, but Wahkiakum County sends all timber revenue to the County General Fund. We do not otherwise show the relative fraction of each taxing district e.g. in terms of acreage,so it is useful to see the area-based proportion of timber revenue derived from the lands in each district.When interpreting the result for Wahkiakum County, however,the row-wise sum of all district revenues technically represents the General Fund, and the other districts receive zero actual revenue from timber. 56 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD 3.2.1 Financial Impacts of Marbled Murrelet Conservation: 1997-2019 The Interim Strategy was adopted by WA DNR in 1997.Annual financial impacts of MM-only conservation on DNR lands, in terms of 2020 dollars,would have occurred each year from 1997 to 2019,after which the LTCS was adopted.The cumulative financial impacts of the Interim Strategy would therefore apply over 22 years during that interval.A strict accounting of MM impacts would necessitate reconstructing regional DNR stumpage prices since 1997, but it is not possible to know the precise locations of timber harvest in the counterfactual case where the MM-only trust lands were available for management.

One further note, in Tables 7,and 10-13, revenue distribution to junior taxing districts is shown for all Counties, but Wahkiakum County sends all timber revenue to the County General Fund.We do not otherwise show the relative fraction of each taxing district e.g. in terms of acreage, so it is useful to see the area-based proportion of timber revenue derived from the lands in each district.When interpreting the result for Wahkiakum County, however,the row-wise sum of all district revenues technically represents the General Fund, and the other districts receive zero actual revenue from timber. 56 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD Table 6:Annual financial impacts of Marbled Murrelet-only conservation on DNR Trust Lands, Interim Strategy, representing the interim conservation strategy in place from 1997 to 2019.

Recall that the most substantial increase in acreage occurred on Federal Grant lands,and that there was some reduction in the fraction of MM-only acreage on State Forest Transfer lands. Consequently,although the 2019 HCP Amendment MM-only acreage increased to 334 and the average annual yield could increase to 195 Mbf/year,the County share of revenues would likely decline. Again assuming a 70-year rotation,the MM-only trust lands under the 2019 HCP Amendment could produce a total annual revenue of 6,554,877,the County share of which could be 261,133 in THT and 999,364 to distribute among taxing districts(excluding SSL;Table 8).The change between the Interim Strategy and the 2019 HCP Amendment is modest overall but is borne unequally by Counties.The 2019 HCP Amendment could decrease annual timber harvest on MM-only conservation lands by-2,687 MBF with an attendant total revenue decline of$-963,617.The change in allocation of MM-only lands across different Trusts, however, could increase the County share of annual revenue by$54,317 each year compared to the Interim Strategy(Table 9). Certain Counties bear outsized penaltyunder the LTCS, while others benefit. Of particular concern is Jefferson County,where-2,242 fewer acres have been designated as MM-only,corresponding to a reduction in annual harvest of-1,393 Mbf/year and $-374,815 in reduced annual revenue. In Jefferson County,the County share of the revenue (though not the THT fraction)actually increases by$22,118, because most of the MM-only acreage was shifted from SFT or SFP to Federal Grant Trust lands. In Pacific County,on the other hand, changes in the MM-only configuration decrease total trust revenues by$- 340,409, but the Trust distribution skewed more to SFP and SFT, implying decreased revenue for County tax districts as well, $-20,842 per year(Table 9). The changes induced by adopting the 2019 HCP Amendment are generally favorable for most counties in terms of County share of the revenue,despite an overall reduction in harvest level and increase in conserved acreage. Particularly for Clallam and Grays Harbor Counties,total annual harvest revenues across all Trust lands could increase by$134,676 and$207,683, respectively, with $25,376 and $10,882 annual increase to the County share of revenues. Losses in THT revenue due to decreased harvest volume are marginally outweighed by the change in Trust land distribution, resulting in an increase to County revenues of$14,678 per year.The 2019 HCP Amendment results has the interesting consequence of marginally improving the County revenues while at the same time decreasing total trust revenues by$963,617 per year. Implications of the 2019 HCP Amendment for annual revenues of taxing district types(Table 10)and changes compared to the Interim Strategy(Table 11)are also presented. However,we repeat the precaution to avoid interpreting these changes for specific years; rather they are a long-term average that could result if revenues from periodic timber harvests are calculated on an annual basis. Foregone County 59 MASON.BRUCE s GIRARD revenues assuming a 70-year rotation for individual tax districts are presented for the Interim Strategy (Table 12)and the 2019 HCP Amendment(Table 13).

Appendix B This appendix provides the key assumptions and data used to estimate economic impacts using a 2018 IMPLAN economic model of each potentially affected County.As noted elsewhere in this analysis,the effect of several key assumptions is that the estimated economic impacts presented represent the total economic activity currently supported by DNR harvests; actual changes in economic activity due to changes in harvest will depend on whether reduced harvest on DNR lands is offset at all by increased harvest on other lands, and whether mills are able to access alternative sources of logs. Note that while all dollar values in the report are expressed in 2020 dollars,the IMPLAN inputs presented below are expressed in 2018 values as the IMPLAN model was a 2018 model. Logging Economic Impacts • Logging employment, income,and gross revenues are proportionate to timber harvest, based on the ratio of recent years' logging employment and income per Mbf of harvest(employment and income based on the Quarterly Census of Wage and Employment from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis Local Area Personal Income data,while gross revenues are based on Washington State Gross Business Income by industry data).Similar assumptions and data are used to identify the relationship between harvest and mill employment/income/gross revenues. • Loggers reside in the county where logging occurs.This may overstate the impacts in some Counties with limited logging capacity and understate the impacts in some counties that have firms that provide logging services in other counties. Allocation by County of the potential effects on mill production is based on DNR mill survey data on the destination of logs harvested in each County(e.g.,of logs harvested in Clallam County,the most recent mill surveys for 2014 and 2016 indicate that 52%went to mills in Clallam County, 13%to mills in Grays Harbor,and the remainder went to mills in Snohomish, Pacific, Mason,Clark,Skagit, and Whatcom County; see Appendix B for more detail). • Reductions in harvest in Marbled Murrelet conservation areas on DNR lands are not offset by increased harvest on other lands in any given County. • From 2015 to 2019, average statewide wages (as reported by QCEW)for logging sector workers (NAICS Sector 1133) in Washington were$60,570 per worker(in 2018 dollars).Assuming 30% benefits(the average nationally),this equates to $86,529. • Wage and salary employment in the logging industry(NAICS 1133)averaged approximately 3,425 jobs statewide. However, Bureau of Economic Analysis data that includes proprietors as well as wage and salary workers, indicates that there are substantial numbers of proprietors among logging workers.Over the last five years,total employment for NAICS 1133 (including proprietors) has been 30%higher than reported QCEW data which does not include proprietors.As such,we estimate 4,785 jobs statewide in logging on average for 2015 to 2019. 78 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD • Gross business revenues to the logging sector(NAICS 1133), as reported by the Washington Department of Revenue, averaged approximately$1.456 billion (in 2018 dollars)annually for 2015 to 2019. • Based on the relationship between logging employment and Mbf harvested statewide on all timberlands,we estimate that approximately 608 Mbf are harvested per logging job on average annually. • Based on the gross business receipts and gross business revenues,we estimate output(or gross revenue) per logging employee at$322,785 annually(in 2018 dollars). Distribution of Logs to Mills Key data and assumptions used in estimating the mill economic impacts are as follows: • All logs harvested on DNR lands are processed by mills in Washington State,with the mill destination of logs estimated based on the 2014 and 2016 mill survey showing the destination of logs harvested in each County(e.g.,of logs harvested in Clallam County,the most recent mill surveys for 2014 and 2016 indicate that 52%went to mills in Clallam County, 13%to mills in Grays Harbor County, and the remainder went to mills in Snohomish, Pacific, Mason,Clark,Skagit,and Whatcom Counties). As log exports are included in the log destination data (but are not reported separately by county),this method may overstate mill impacts in counties with high log exports, such as Cowlitz County. • Sawmill/chipping/plywood mill employment/income/gross output declines proportionately due to reduced harvest from DNR lands, with no substitution of logs from other lands(i.e., if DNR logs represent 1%of total Mbf going to sawmills,then economic activity at mills is assumed to fall by 1%).Total Mbf used by sawmills is based on 2012 to 2016 DNR mill surveys. • To prevent double counting of effects on logging, mill activity indirect and induced impacts do not include effects related to purchase of log inputs (since those are included in the logging sector effects analysis). In other words, indirect and induced effects at mills are the additional effects due to processing of logs at mills and processing of mill residues by the pulp and paper sector. • From 2015 to 2019, average statewide wages (as reported by QCEW)for sawmill sector workers (NAICS Sector 3211) in Washington were$60,570 per worker(in 2018 dollars).Assuming 30% benefits (the average nationally),this equates to$86,529. • Wage and salary employment in the sawmill industry(NAICS 1133)averaged approximately 5,939 jobs statewide. • Gross business revenues to the sawmill sector(NAICS 1133),as reported by the Washington Department of Revenue, averaged approximately$3.543 (in 2018 dollars) billion annually for 2015 to 2019. 79 i; MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD • Based on the relationship in 2012, 2014,and 2016 between sawmill &wood preservation employment and harvested volume being consumed by sawmills/chipping mills statewide from all timberlands,we estimate that approximately 340 Mbf are processed per sawmill/chipping mill job on average annually. • Based on the gross business receipts and gross business revenues,we estimate output(or gross revenue) per sawmill employee at$597,341 annually(in 2018 dollars17). 17 We used a 2018 IMPLAN model, so all IMPLAN inputs were expressed in 2018 dollars. 80 MASON BRUCE&GIRARD Table B-1: Estimated Log Volume (Mbf) Destination to Mills by County County of Mill Interim Strategy 2019 HCP Amendment Clallam 5,056 5,449 Clark 933 1,095 Cowlitz 1,825 2,061 Grays Harbor 3,396 3,602 Jefferson 0 0 King 0 0 Kitsap 0 0 Lewis 1,190 1,232 Mason 1,187 1,346 Pacific 1,328 1,505 Pierce 727 716 Skagit 507 743 Snohomish 1,185 1,770 Thurston 0 0 Wahkiakum 0 0 Whatcom 1,072 1,570 Total 18,407 21,090 81 4 MASON.BRUCE&GIRARD Table B-2: Olympic Peninsula Log Consumption by County of Harvest County of Log Consumption Other Olympic Peninsula (Jefferson, Mason, Total County of Grays- Thurston, Olympic Harvest Clallam Harbor Lewis Pacific) Jefferson' Mason1 Thurston' Pacific Peninsula County of Harvest Clallam 279,780;

A 2010 sawmill benchmarking study conducted by the Beck Group found that for U.S.West coast sawmills, by-products accounted for approximately 13 percent of revenue (Beck Group, 2010). We assume the bulk of this, or 10%, is used by pulp and paper. Several sources indicate that wood inputs to pulp and paper accounts for approximately 50%of cash costs(see for example Forest Industries,2012); however, after accounting for fixed costs and profits,we assume (and substantiated by IMPLAN data)that wood input costs account for approximately 30%of total ulPand paper revenues. As such , pulp and paper output value tied to sawmill output is estimated as sawmill output value multiplied by 10%and divided by 30%. Consequently,the change in pulp and paper output value affected by changes in DNR harvested are estimated at 1/3 of the change in output value of sawmills/chipping mills/plywood mills. • From 2015 to 2019,average statewide wages(as reported by QCEW)for pulp and paper workers (NAICS Sector 3221) in Washington were$80,819 per worker(in 2018 dollars).Assuming 30% benefits(the average nationally),this equates to $115,456. • Employment in the pulp and paper industry(NAICS 3221)averaged approximately 4,100 jobs statewide. • Gross business revenues to the pulp and paper sector(NAICS 3221),as reported by the Washington Department of Revenue,averaged approximately$4.93 billion annually for 2015 to 2019. • Based on the gross business receipts and gross business revenues,we estimate output(or gross revenue) per pulp and paper employee at$1.18 million. • We allocated total change in pulp and paper output by county based on the number of pulp and paper firms and employment reported at the state and county levels(e.g., 54%of Western Washington employment in the pulp and paper sector is in Cowlitz County and so 54%of pulp and paper employment/income effects are estimated to occur in Cowlitz County).

Inslee issued an extension of the ut tyc o e p e September 30, 2021. This will be the final extension of the proclamation and the extension will align with the end date of the tenancy preservation bridge (21-09)to give Washingtonians struggling with housing payments time to prepare and seek assistance before both proclamations expire. The Office of the Governor will work closely with utilities on how they can continue to support customers once the moratorium expires. Utilities are encouraged to: • In Clallam County • Offer extended payment plans of 12 months or longer. • Waive disconnection, reconnection, site visit and late fees accrued during the disconnection moratorium, if customers sign up for payment assistance. • Refrain from reporting overdue accounts to credit bureaus or placing liens on customers with overdue accounts for at least 180 days. In addition to outreach from utilities, customers should contact their utility to learn about programs and financial resources that can help with unpaid utility bills and prevent disconnections. Residents with past-due energy and water balances are encouraged to call their utility providers as soon as possible to set up a payment or assistant plan.

We have a desperate need for broadband in this community. Our PUD is Mason County PUD 1. I am very concerned to read on the Mason County PUD 1 website: "PUD 1 is partnering w/ @hoodcanalcom on a CERB Grant application for broadband from Eldon to Triton Cove. Community meeting via Zoom this Thursday, 7/8 at 10:00 a.m. for residents& businesses in that area. See PUD 1 homepage for log-in info and agenda." Which means that PUD 1 is ignoring its customers in Brinnon and is not including us in the grant application, nor is it even letting us participate in the meeting because we do not reside south of Triton Cove. I am concerned that the Jefferson County PUD is likewise ignoring us because we are not its customers as we are south of Mount Walker.

CAUTION:This email or iginated inated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening att achments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hi Rebekah, Thanks for your email.A few things to note- a) PUD1 is not in the fiber business;we're partnering with a telecom provider on this grant application because only public agencies can apply. b) HCC already has fiber to the Hama Hama seafood restaurant.The amount of the CERB grant will get them up to Triton, if funded. The funds are limited this cycle. C)we are having conversations with Jefferson PUD and HCC about helping HCC expand up into Brinnon but this project has to come first to bring the broadband backbone up the canal. Otherwise there's nothing to connect to in order to serve you. Helping one area of customers get access to internet doesn't mean that we are ignoring other areas of customers.The funding comes in cycles and it will take several cycles to build out the entire 101 corridor. Mason PUD 1 is simply offering our services to help the internet providers serve in our area and help come up with solutions because we are getting good at grant writing and are eligible for funds that private companies are not. Anyone is welcome to attend our public meeting to hear about the grant application.That's why it's on Facebook and the PUD website. I don't have anything to report for the customers north of Triton except to say that we're all taking about it and have had a few meetings about it already. Hopefully this project is funded so we can help HCC continue north. Hope that clears it up a bit.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hello all, wanted to send a quick follow up thank you email for your time,support, and encouragement on the forestry program. It has been an incredible opportunity for me and I can't thank you all enough for providing the opportunity. Also for investing in this program for the county, it is a huge step to be proactive in forest management rather than reactive and I believe this will be to the county's benefit long term. Also wanted to give a huge thank you to Mark McCauley. I was a bit focused on bringing attention to my advisors and Justin, who are often behind the scenes on the forestry work and deserve more credit, but in doing that I didn't give a proper thank you and acknowledgement for all the time and support that Mark has given all along, especially along side all his recent additional responsibilities. Forestry isn't always the friendliest field and I've really appreciated having him as an ally at the county through the ups and downs. He's really helped me grow as a business and has been a cheerleader all along. And just a big sincere thank you for all the work you do for the community—I can't imagine how much work it is to serve in your roles and I suspect you don't hear thank you nearly enough.
