Home My WebLink AboutApplication Report, 18-2561D (submitted 01_14_19 15_10_30)Project Application Report Project #18-2561, JeffCo Sportsmans Noise Abatement & Safety Stalls Current Status: Application Submitted Project Details Primary Sponsor: Jefferson County Sportsmen's Association Primary Contact: Julia Towne (206) 999-2087 Funding Program: Firearms & Archery Range Rec. Project Type: Development Project Description The Jefferson County Sportsmen Association (JCSA) is located near Port Townsend in Jefferson County. JCSA will use this grant to permit and install two Pre-fab noise abatement and errant projectile control stalls on the 100-yard outdoor range. The scope of this project also includes electrical lighting and fans in the new pre-fab shooting stalls. This project will fund the installation of some of the most modern noise abatement and errant projectile control available. The Association has operated a recreational shooting and archery club since 1962 and provides safe shooting for archery, trap, pistol and rifle sports. The club is open to the public and is regularly enjoyed by youth groups, hunter safety classes and law enforcement organizations.The scope of the entire project is comprised of three stand-alone phases. Phase 1, which is the scope of this project, is for noise abatement and errant projectile control modules on a portion of the 100-yard range. Two other phases would complete the retrofit the 100-yard and ultimately retrofit the 50-yard and 40-yard ranges at some point in the future. This project will substantially lower noise escaping the club and would significantly improve noise conditions for residential communities surrounding the club. The club is used by over 3,000 visitors in any given year and hosts special events that attract many from well outside the Olympic Peninsula area.

(750 characters max) According to the North Olympic Peninsula Development Council (NOPD) "Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2016-2020" covering the geographic area of both Jefferson and Clallam Counties, tourism and outdoor recreation continue to serve as strong economic sectors to the Jefferson County/Port Townsend area. JCSA adds to the tourism and outdoor recreation sectors by providing a high quality shooting and archery facility in an area where there is a lack of quality facilities available. Demand for safe, high-quality shooting facilities is very high due to other geographic regions closing ranges or vastly down-sizing due to growth of surrounding communities. JCSA is well know as being "the safe place" to shoot and learn gun safety practices. Actual updated economic figures were not readily available at the time of this writing. 13 of 18 Who will be responsible for administration, design, and/or implementation of this project (i.e. in-house staff, paid consultants, contractors, volunteers, other agency staff, etc.)? Explain. The Executive Committee of JCSA typically oversee all financial and administrative functions of the facility. There will be dedicated one to two Officers of the JCSA Executive Committee to manage this grant. Certain select qualified members with expertise in site development, project and construction engineering will assist in certain phases of this grant, including the development and management of grant accountability factors, invoices and accounts payable and will prepare and submit all grant related progress reports and invoices to RCO. JCSA will retain, manage and supervise paid consultants, contractors, volunteers, certified engineers and a qualified range evaluator per Jefferson County Ordinance 12-1102-18 "Commercial Shooting Facilities in Unincorporated Areas of Jefferson County." 14 of 18 Describe the nature of any existing rights-of-way, easements, reversionary interests, etc. to the project area. None applicable. 15 of 18 Do you plan to restrict or limit general public availability or use of the site in any way? If yes, describe the type of restriction, the portion of the project area that will be restricted (an illustrative map may be requested), and the reason(s) the public will be restricted. Yes, During project construction only, there will be minor public access restrictions to the portion of the 100-yard range where the safety and noise abatement stalls will be constructed. 16 of 18 Does this application contain state, federal or other grants as part of the "sponsor match"? If "yes," name the grant(s) and date grant will be available. No 17 of 18 Does this application contain elements required for mitigation for other project(s)?
