Project or Proposal Description, Purpose, and Overview (Describe the project, what

9.
The primary goal of the Port Hadlock Wastewater Facility Project is to construct a municipal
wastewater collection, treatment, and beneficial re-use system (a sewer system) for the Phase I
area of the Port Hadlock Urban Growth Area (UGA) that will eliminate reliance on septic tank
systems and allow urban levels of development to support business expansion, increased jobs
and affordable housing. Under Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA), the urban
zoning designated in the Port Hadlock UGA cannot be “turned on” until sewer service is
available. Port Hadlock is the only UGA in all of Jefferson County outside of the incorporated
City of Port Townsend. Jefferson County strives to achieve the goals of GMA, but building costly
infrastructure at rural densities is simply not possible without subsidy and support from funding
partners.
This project will include wastewater service to a core area of Port Hadlock, waterfront properties
adjacent to Port Hadlock Bay, and the Old Alcohol Site which is presently a hotel with inclusion
of transitional housing. Actual construction will include a pressure sewer system with an
underground tank/grinder pump system located on each property. The pumps will convey

Project Goals and Results (Please describe measurable goals and expected results,
and describe how the request will be evaluated and performance tracked) *
10.
Project Goals and Results include:
• Economic Development – Allow maximization of commercial and light industrial properties
and create jobs, improve employment and economic opportunities in the Port Hadlock area as
well as for citizens throughout the County
• Multi-family/Low-income Housing – Encourage multi-family housing development,
including affordable/low-income housing, that is currently limited by septic systems. Parcels
currently owned by affordable housing providers will, with sewer, be able to develop such
housing at a higher density
• Property Flexibility – Enable new uses or development of land previously required for
reserve septic drain fields.
• Put Density Where it Belongs- Allow for centralized, development density that will increase
multimodal transportation, including walkability and increased ridership of public transit to
reduce vehicle miles travelled.
• Ecology/Health – Replacement of septic systems with centralized wastewater facilities will
improve the local ecology and enhance community health
• Puget Sound Water Quality – Improving wastewater infrastructure to address water quality
problems has been identified as a priority in the Hood Canal Action Areas by Puget Sound
Partnership.
• Harvestable Shellfish Beds – Replacing septic systems will help protect harvestable shellfish
beds
• Chimacum Creek and Salmon Habitat – According to Jefferson County Public Health

A major goal of this project is to provide property owners with a wastewater system that will
allow for more intense development and economic growth in an urban type area. Many
property owners have indicated the critical need for this sewer in order to effectively utilize their
property. The following are testimonies from a few business owners and agencies that indicate
some of the direct benefits of constructing the Phase I portion of the system:
• Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding – They indicate if their existing septic system
failed they would lose 26 jobs – 6 instructors and 6 school administrators, 12 staff at their Ajax
Café, and 2 employees at NW Sails and Canvas. As an accredited post-secondary trade school,
they play a pivotal role in maritime workforce development. The sewer would create greater
capacity for student housing that is presently a barrier to enrollment.
• Inn Properties, LLC (Old Alcohol Plant) – The Old Alcohol Plant owners project, with sewer,
that they would develop a new 5-story hotel and hospitality complex with private investment
estimated at $25 - $30 million and that they would undertake this within 6 to 9 months of sewer
completion. This additional capacity would increase annual gross revenue by 125 – 150% and
result in 60 construction jobs and 20 additional long-term staff positions. Also, some of the
hotel capacity would be dedicated to transitional, multi-family housing.
• DBA Dentistry Northwest – Expect to expand their business with an investment of $300,000
and addition of 4 staff to their existing 7 employees.
• Jefferson County Rural Library District – The Library District presently employs 35 staff and
their facility is totally reliant on its septic system that requires substantial maintenance and
expense. They are supportive of a municipal system.
• Olympic Equipment Rentals – This business has expressed their intent to expand their
existing business and to develop a new business which would add 8 jobs to their workforce.
They are expecting to invest $250,000 when the municipal wastewater system is available.
• Underused property within Core Area – This land owner indicates they will develop a new
business on their property creating 10 new jobs with an investment to their existing structures
on the order of $100,000.
• US Navy, Naval Magazine Indian Island – The Navy has indicated that provision of
municipal wastewater service to the Port Hadlock area is critical to their mission of military
resiliency. An adjacent urban services area with municipal sewer will increase business services
for military operations and housing opportunities for personnel.
• Affordable Housing - Community United Methodist Church sits on a large tract of land,
approximately 15 or more acres. The south seven acres is where the current South Seven Senior
Housing apartments are located and managed by Olympic Community Action Programs
(OlyCAP). OlyCAP and Habitat of Humanity have discussed creating low income/affordable
housing on the adjacent vacant 8 acres, however sewer, or the lack thereof, was one of the
impediments. For this area of the Port Hadlock area, as well as in other areas where the
municipal wastewater system is being considered, installation of a sewer system would greatly

This wastewater project is in Final Design which should be complete by early Fall 2021, so the
capital costs listed below are still engineering estimates:
Wastewater System Component Cost
Preliminary/Admin/Startup $721,000
Pressurized Sewer System $7,093,000
Membrane Bioreactor Treatment System and Recharge $11,521,000
Total $19,335,000
On-site Grinder Pump and Side Sewer $4,287,000
Estimated Initial System Cost $23,622,000
LESS: State Appropriation for ENGR Final Design (Received) - $1,422,000
Remaining Funding Needed for Project $22,200,000
In order to provide the appropriate funding necessary from multiple sources to meet the
estimated capital cost, Jefferson County is working to obtain funding from the Federal
Government, Washington State, the County itself, and the property owners who will benefit
from this project. The following Table shows the expected funding sources and amounts:
Port Hadlock Sewer Funding
Federal Appropriation (Request amount) $13,500,000
WA State (Design) $ 1,422,000
WA State (Construction) $ 3,200,000
County (Loans)* $ 4,000,000
Property Owners (Connections Fees/Costs) $ 1,500,000
Total Funding Needed $23,622,000
* Note: Jefferson County has already invested over $3 million for purchase of all property
needed for this project and special studies.
The Infrastructure Priority Federal Funding request is $13,500,000. Even with this funding,
substantial additional funding will still be necessary from State, Local, and Property owner
sources. Additionally, Property Owners will be required to pay for ongoing operation and
