whatever portion of the property is available. After discussion of the need
for this site, Gary Rowe reported that it is in an inactive status right now.

the optimum amount of parking is the main concern. There is also discussion
of building expansion. He added that the Library District will provide more
specific information to the County on their needs ~or additional property.

commissioner B. G. Brown moved to adopt the existing mitigated determination
of non-significance issued to David and Jeanette Lord on May 22, 1989 with
all of the mitigative measures to be applied to SSDP90-001 as presented for
Wayne Chimenti. commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. The motion
carried by a unanimous vote.
commissioner Dennison asked how the cumulative impacts from several projects
in an area are taken into consideration if this type of review is adopted?
Jim Pearson reported that the Shoreline Master Program has performance
standards which govern the placement of mooring buoys. These regulations,
in effect, limit the number of mooring buoys that can be placed in a specific
area. The cumulative impact issue should be given some consideration, which
Jim Pearson advised he would keep in mind in reviewing future applications
of this sort. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion. The motion
carried by a unanimous vote.

John Heal. Bionomics. Inc. re: Sepqt.ge Lagoon at Landfill: John
Heal, introduced himself, Pete Bonyun, Steve Habersetzer and David Neal of
Bionomics, Inc. He stated that Bionomics, Inc. has been looking at the
septage lagoon at the landfill.
Solar Aquatics is a type of technology that could possibly be used to process
the waste in the septage lagoon at the Landfill and reclaim the area as a
wetland. Bionomics would like the County to apply for a grant to fund a
feasibility study to see if this process is a potential option for reclama-
tion of this land. The handling of future septage may be looked at in this
study also.
Commissioner Dennison stated that the County is involved with the City's
secondary sewage treatment plant, but has never felt that this would be a
final solution to septage disposal problems. Commissioner B. G. Brown stated
that the City's treatment plant is expected to take the County's septage for
a certain period of time before they will require the full capacity of the
treatment plant. The county will have to look for another alternative to
deal with the septage when that time comes. If the City of Port Townsend is
not able to take the septage at all the county will have to look for an
alternative immediately.
Pete Bonyun noted that a feasibility study would be appropriate at this time
since the septage disposal in the future is. uncertain. If the feasibility
study indicated that the Solar Aquatics would be an option, then it would
take at least five years before the State would approve of this type of
system. commissioner B. G. Brown stated that getting State approval for an
alternative way of dealing with septage will be tough.
The technical guidelines for new alternative system would have to be written
by the State Department of Social and Heal Services, Steve Habersetzer
stated. This process moves nutrients into a form that can be used in the
environment and purifies the water to a standard equivalent to tertiary
treatment. This process is an aquatic ecosystem. Pete Bonyun reported that
there are three Solar Aquatic operating facilities .in place in Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. John Heal, added that it is easy in this
process to increase the amount of septage that is treated. There is very
little if any sludge left at the end of this process. Commissioner B. G.
Brown reported that in the plan with the City, the county would have to treat
the sludge created at the City's secondary treatment plant. Mr. Bonyun left
a packet of background information for the Board to review.

John Heal explained that Bionomics, Inc. is asking for the Board's approval
tor them to proceed with developing a County grant application for a
feasibility study for the possible use of solar aquatics in dealing with'
septage in the county.
Gary Rowe stated that he doesn't know what the matching ratio is for
centennial Clean Water Fund grants. John Heal reported that these grant
funds require a 25% County match. The County would be administering the
grant so that staff time could be used for the match.
The Board conq'9rred ~;tÞ)1~ the representati vas from Bionomics, Inc. work with
the Board andf1&ry ~~:/to develop a grant application and to identify what
the feasib;~~y should cover.
