FARMS, FISH and FORESTS FOREVER June 2022 eNews New Elementary School Bird Education Program Takes Learning to New Heights in 2021-22 Over the 2021-22 school year, Jefferson Land Trust expanded our youth education programming with an exciting new year -long bird project with four third -grade classes and one multi -age OPEPO (OPtional Education PrOgram) class of third and fourth graders at Salish Coast Elementary School in Port Townsend. Birds are not only interesting and iconic, they're also great teachers for a variety of subjects (physics, biology, ecology, food chains, seed dispersal, forest structure and more). This new project is comprehensive (built across the whole school year), expansive (folds in an array of activities, projects, and skill -building opportunities), and hands on, with in -the -field learning at our Quimper Wildlife Corridor preserve led by Q Carrie Clendaniel, Land Trust Preserve Manager, who oversees our youth education programming. At the beginning of the school year, the teachers — "an amazing, enthusiastic, and energetic group of people," says Carrie — kicked off the project with bird -based lessons and activities in the classroom. Then, in January, the students joined Carrie for the first of two field trips to the Quimper Wildlife Corridor. There, they learned the basics of birding, such as binocular use; discussed and observed birds' habitats, movements, and needs; did a scavenger hunt and other learning games; and, overall, began to understand what birds need to survive and thrive in this world.

Photo by John Gussman, Courtesy of Northwest Watershed Institute. Jefferson Land Trust is pleased to celebrate the recent protection of a 91-acre property of forest, wetland, and streams at the headwaters of Discovery Creek with our longtime partners Northwest Watershed Institute (NWI) and the U.S. Navy. It's the most recent accomplishment in two decades of conservation work by many organizations and partners in the Tarboo-Dabob Bay area, much of it spearheaded by NWI. The property is now owned and will be managed by NWI, while being permanently protected by a Navy REPI (Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program) restrictive easement facilitated by the Land Trust. 4 "The Land Trust has been working closely with NWI, the Navy, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), willing landowners, and many others to protect this area for many years," explains Sarah Spaeth, Director of Conservation and Strategic Partnerships at Jefferson Land Trust. "Partnerships like these are vital to our work in supporting the Tarboo-Dabob Bay ecosystem, which is home to some of the most pristine estuarine habitat in the Hood Canal region." "We really appreciate the assistance of Jefferson Land Trust and the Navy on another important joint project to protect Dabob Bay," said Peter Bahls, Director of NWI. This recent acquisition completes preservation of nearly the entirety of Discovery Creek, which after Tarboo Creek, is the largest freshwater source to Tarboo-Dabob Bay.

Box 1220 Port Townsend, WA 98368 JEFFERSON COUNTY CO11li�ltiSSiONERS Re: Requests to WA DNR for Deferral of Penny Wise Timber Sale and Beaver Valley Sorts Timber Sale Dear Commissioners Dean, Brotherton, and Eisenhour, We write to request that the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) rescind its recent request to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to defer its planned Penny Wise timber sale (#102261), which action detrimentally impacts Jefferson County Fire Protection District No. 2 (Quilcene Fire Rescue) as well as our greater Quilcene Community. Because of the evident start of a broader course of action that is hurting our community at large and threatens to limit mutual aid response capabilities, we also request that the BOCC rescind its April 4, 2022 request to DNR to defer its planned Beaver Valley Sorts timber sale. The BOCC letter to DNR of April 4, 2022, signed by all three County Commissioners, states that "funding school, libraries, emergency services and other essential services with industrial forest practices is outdated and needs to be reconsidered." Yet this is the specific fiduciary duty imposed on DNR by RCW Chapter 79.22 in management of state forest transfer trust lands such as the Penny Wise and Beaver Valley Sorts timber lands. By asking the DNR to not perform this critical function without providing alternative and equal funding to the impacted junior taxing districts, the BOCC is harming our community, perhaps to a greater extent than the BOCC realized. The Penny Wise timber sale is projected to yield $1.2M to county beneficiaries, including $163K to Quilcene Fire Rescue (combined Fire and EMS distributions). To put that amount in perspective, Quilcene Fire Rescue has only four salaried career response personnel, and the funds to be lost equate to the fully burdened costs of 1.5 salaried firefighters. Loss of these funds can only hurt the ability of Quilcene Fire Rescue to keep our community safe. As a further example, Quilcene school district, which is facing a significant shortfall in operations funding, would receive $348K, in addition to the $310K towards state school funds. The library system would receive $44K from the Penny Wise sale. These cumulative losses from not permitting the Penny Wise sale to go forward hurt our community. Deferral of the Beaver Valley Sorts similarly hurts the surrounding community, including a loss of $252K to Port Ludlow Fire Rescue, $348K for local school, and $57K for the library system; a loss in revenue of $1.35M in total. We appreciate the desire to create further old -growth forest in Jefferson County, and this will certainly result from various conservation land transfers and restrictions that are occurring throughout the county. But to do so with this trust land now in the hope that revenue can be made up through a carbon sequestration credit is not responsible without that credit being assured, without dollar -equivalency (which is doubtful) between potential carbon credits and the revenue lost from timber sales, and without certainty that any carbon credits would be passed through to the impacted junior taxing districts. We request that the BOCC reconsider and rescind its request to defer the noted timber sales, and future trust land timber sales, and let DNR carry outs its fiduciary duties until such time that an alternate, assured funding mechanism to provide at least equal funding to our junior taxing districts, including Quilcene Fire Rescue, is secured and committed.

The Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation is seeking applications from counties interested in receiving funding in the 2023-2025 biennium to assist with historic county courthouse rehabilitation projects. The grant program Steering Committee may select projects to receive matching grants during the 2023-25 Biennium solely for courthouse rehabilitation and preservation, including: • the preservation/rehabilitation of exterior and interior character defining architectural features • improvements to courthouse accessibility and accommodations for persons with disabilities made in conjunction with historic rehabilitation • improvements to life safety made in conjunction with historic rehabilitation Expenditures for the following activities are not eligible to be reimbursed with grant funds, but may count toward the required county match (or a portion thereof): • system upgrades, such as Mechanical, HVAC, Electrical • general repairs (provided they do not fall under the category of general maintenance) • architectural and engineering fees • project planning Expenditures for the following activities are not eligible for grant funds, nor are such expenditures eligible to count toward the required county match: general courthouse maintenance lobbying reduction of debts Applications requesting funding through the Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program are evaluated based on the following criteria: 1) Courthouses listed in the National Register of Historic Places or Washington Heritage Register, or determined eligible for listing in either register. 2) Public visibility of work that addresses the historic character defining features of a courthouse. 3) Degree of urgency and extent to which inaction would lead to loss of historic fabric and character defining features. 4) Projects that assist in providing structural and life safety, including improvements to courthouse accessibility and seismic retrofits. 5) Projects that have match in -hand at time of application or grant award. WASHINGTON TRUST W FOR HISTORIC T PRESERVATION dahpDEPTFA.-RIC PRESERVA�iON 6) Project feasibility. 7) Percentage of requested state funding applicant intends to match with funding from other allowable sources. The following stipulations apply to all counties receiving grant awards: • All expenditures eligible for reimbursement must be made between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2025 following execution of a grant contract with the Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation. • All expenditures committed as eligible county matching funds must be made between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2025. County expenditures on projects completed after January 1, 2022 may be used as matching funds for a new project moving forward, provided the completed project meets all grant eligibility criteria and complies with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties. • All rehabilitation work on the courthouse, including seismic retrofits, accessibility and life safety improvements, shall comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties. • Only courthouses that continue to maintain county functions are eligible for grants. • Counties receiving grants shall provide matching funds from eligible public or private sources as required per the program. Federal funds may be included as matching funds. State funds secured through the Department of Commerce for the purpose of increasing building energy efficiency may also be used as match. • County funds expended on project planning, including architectural and engineering fees, may be used as matching funds. • The State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) must review preliminary project designs and plans for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties prior to construction. • Any construction begun on a courthouse prior to executing a contract with DAHP is done so at the risk of the county. Project expenditures made prior to executing a contract with DAHP are not eligible to be reimbursed. • Counties receiving grants to complete a project for courthouses that are NOT listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the Washington Heritage Register must submit a nomination for such listing to DAHP within one (1) year of the project completion date. • County courthouses under the jurisdiction of a local preservation/design commission must comply with the local review process prior to project implementation. • Counties may submit an application in each funding round regardless of prior grant awards or denials. • There is no cap on the amount of funding a county can receive in any single funding round. • There is no cap on the amount of funding a county can receive over the course of multiple funding rounds. W WASHINGTON TRUST dahp FOR HISTORIC DEPTOARCHAEOLOGY SEER OYN IT, PRESERVATION HISTORIC • In -kind contributions, such as volunteer time and donated materials, may be used as a portion (not to exceed 50%) of a county's required match. • Counties accepting grant funds commit to implementing future courthouse repairs and maintenance in a manner that complies with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties for a period of five years. This five-year period begins once the project for which grant funds were received is complete. • Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant funds are available on a reimbursement basis only and cannot be "advanced" to Grant Recipients. • Reimbursement for costs incurred and paid out may only be made once within any given thirty day period. • Requests for payment must be submitted on a State Invoice Voucher/Form A-19. The voucher must be signed by an individual authorized by the Recipient to bind it. • Recipients are responsible for maintaining clear and accurate project records, and making those records accessible to DAHP and the State Auditor. • Quarterly progress reports must be submitted to grant administrators until project completion. • Counties accepting grant funds commit to displaying a sign acknowledging DAHP as the source of grant support. This sign should be displayed in a publicly visible location for the duration of the project. Reappropriation The State of Washington operates under a two-year (biennial) budget. Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Grant Program dollars must, by law, lapse at the close of each state biennium (June 30 of each odd -numbered year). In the event that a project takes more than two years to complete, DAHP can request a one-time reappropriation of any unspent funds. However, it cannot guarantee that the Legislature will reappropriate unspent funds. DAHP cannot obligate funds from one biennium to another. Grantees must contact grant administrators as soon as they determine that reappropriation may be needed. If it is needed, formal written request for reappropriation must be submitted to program staff at least three months prior to the close of the biennium. Distribution of grant awards to selected counties is contingent upon program funds being allocated in the 2023-25 Capital Budget. Courthouse projects must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties. Rehabilitation as a treatment is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. The Standards for Rehabilitation provide more detail on the application of this treatment. The Guidelines for the Treatment of Historic Properties illustrate visually the practical application of all the treatment standards to historic preservation (Rehabilitation guidelines begin on page 85 of the linked pdf).

Service restoration update While there are no significant changes in this week's Service Restoration Plan Progress Report, we recently shared a timeline on when we'll be able to restore service on routes that are not yet back to pre -pandemic levels. As I mentioned last week, our current crewing and vessel availability constraints prevent us from restoring service on our next prioritized route, Edmonds/Kingston, until late this year. As far as the next three routes — FauntleroyNashon/Southworth, Seattle/Bremerton and Port Townsend/Coupeville — they likely won't be restored until next spring at the earliest. Finally, our international route between Anacortes and Sidney, B.C. is suspended until at least summer 2023. We currently have a class of nine oilers going through new engine employee orientation. Here are a few of them with our engine simulator at our warehouse talking to chief engineers Felix Tapley and Chris Schneider. New engine room employee Daniel Radosevich reassembles a fuel oil purifier during training at our warehouse. Thanks to support from the Governor and the legislature, we've brought on a lot of new crewmembers now that we hire continuously instead of seasonally. We've also started to provide funding for employees to receive their required credentials. Again though, our biggest constraint is a lack of licensed deck officers (captains and mates), who require significant training time. We have adjusted some of our policies to encourage and more efficiently develop and promote our existing crewmembers, but are still struggling to fill all the positions we need for full service systemwide. We will continue to remain transparent as we keep the public updated on our service restoration efforts.

Canada Will End Open Water Net Pens in British Columbia ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Wild Fish Conservancy N O R T H W E S T OUR SOUND, OUR SALMON 1 Photo by Tavish Campbell, tavishcampbell.ca Canadian Government Takes Bold Action to Phase Out All Open Water Net Pens from British Columbia In our last email, we shared two pending major decisions being made by Washington State's Commissioner of Public Lands and Canada's Minister of Fisheries that will determine the fate of the open water net pen aquaculture industry in Washington and British Columbia, and has the potential to end this industry throughout the entire Pacific Coast. We are thrilled to share incredible and historic news! In a press release this week, Canada's Minister of Fisheries Joyce Murray announced that the Canadian government is taking bold action to phase out all open net pen aquaculture in British Columbia's coastal waters. Once complete, this phase out will represent the world's largest removal of open water net pens through a single action. Q In the coming weeks, the Canadian government is planning to share a draft framework to guide this transition away from open net pen salmon aquaculture. Between now and the spring 2023, Minister Murray's office will consult with local governments, First Nations, industry, and the public in each region to guide the development of the final transition plans for these facilities. In the meantime, Canada has denied the renewal of 19 licenses in the Discovery Islands and is only issuing temporary 2- year license renewals for the rest of the coast. Two years is less time than a full grow out cycle for Atlantic salmon, signaling the government's likely intent is for operators to grow out what fish remain ahead of the phase out, not to plant new fish. 1 CALL TO ACTION! PROTECT WELD SAUMON usie The recent decision by Canada's government would never have been possible without the unwavering and inspiring direct action, advocacy, and litigation led by First Nations throughout British Columbia. 3 The Minister's announcement included a mandate for the transition to occur in a manner that will prioritize wild salmon, the environment, and the economy, and stated a commitment to "establish[ing] Canada as a world leader for the next - generation aquaculture industry." Meeting all of these commitments will require a total transition out of public waters to sustainable, land -based, closed -containment systems. Companies like Nova Scotia's Sustainable Blue are operating throughout the U.S. and Canada and demonstrate that land -based, closed -containment facilities are ecologically, economically, and socially viable alternatives that communities can be proud of. As a result of Canada's major decision, Washington state is now the only jurisdiction on the entire North Pacific Coast that has not committed to ending or banning this practice in public waters. All eyes have now turned toward Commissioner Hilary Franz in Washington State where all of the leases that allow commercial net pen aquaculture to operate in Puget Sound are expiring in 2022. Any day now, Commissioner Franz is expected to announce whether or not she will issue new 12-year leases to Cooke Aquaculture for commercial net pens in Puget Sound, a decision that is now more important than ever as it could unite the coast in eliminating this major and significant risk to wild salmon, marine health, and coastal communities. Call on Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz to Make the Right Decision Right now, Commissioner Franz is choosing between pressure from Cooke Aquaculture to issue new 12 year leases for net pen aquaculture and calls from the public to restore Puget Sound for the benefit and use of all. Commissioner Franz is required by statute to make a decision that is in the best interest of the public. As she prepares to make a final decision between another decade of this harmful industry and the health of our public waters, it is urgent and critical Commissioner Hilary Fran hears directly from members of the public who want to protect Puget Sound from this harmful industry. Here are additional major updates and news from this week on Pacific Northwest commercial net pen aquaculture: Legal Action Taken To Protect Threatened And Endangered Species From Industrial Finfish Aquaculture Operations The same day Canada announced a phase out of all open water net pens in British Columbia, a coalition of U.S. marine conservation organizations, including trade groups, and the Quinault Indian Nation filed a notice of intent to sue the U.S. Army Corps for its failure to consider impacts to threatened and endangered species when it authorized construction of offshore finfish aquaculture facilities around the United States. Wild Fish Conservnacy is proud to join this important legal effort as a co -plaintiff. Following a Trump -era Executive Order pressing for rapid advancement and expansion of marine aquaculture facilities, the Army Corps issued a nationwide permit for construction of finfish aquaculture facilities in state and federal waters during the last few days of the Trump administration. In doing so, the Corps failed to conduct legally required envionrmental review, including requirements under the Endangered Species Act to ensure this action would not jeopardize the existence of species recognized by the federal government as threatened or endangered with extinction. In the absence of this critical review, these permits have already been adopted by Army Corps districts in California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Virginia. 5 Learn more about this important action and broad coalition working together to protect U.S. public waters and threatened and endangered species from harm. Jury Requires Cooke Aquaculture to Pay $595,000 in Damages to Lummi Nation Over Cypress Island Net Pen Collapse This week, a jury in King County Superior Court ordered Cooke Aquaculture to compensate the Lummi Nation for harm and expenses incurred as a result of the 2017 Cypress Island net pen collapse. The Jury's decision requires Cooke to pay damages of $595,000 to the Lummi Nation. Following the collapse which released over 260,000 nonnative fish into Puget Sound, it immediately began clear neither Cooke nor Washington regulators had an effective emergency response plan in place. As a result, the Lummi Nation stepped up and immediately took on a leadership role recovering escaped Atlantic salmon, efforts that came at great cost to the Tribal Nation during their fishing season. 6 We were disappointed by the Jury's findings that Cooke Aquaculture will not be required to invest in monitoring efforts to evaluate and assess the potential environmental impacts of this catastrophic event. This is particularly concerning as recent research has demonstrated nearly 100% of the escaped fish were infected with an exotic, nonnative virus called Piscine Reovirus (PRV) that was imported and introduced into Puget Sound by Cooke from their egg supplier in Iceland. This exotic virus had never previously been documented in the North Pacific Ocean, and the infection was neither reported by Cooke nor detected by state regulators. In fact, following the discovery of the virus, the state never conducted viral -testing of any other stocked Cooke net pens even though they used fish from the same egg supplier and reared in the same hatchery as the infected Cypress escaped fish. At the time, the Our Sound, Our Salmon coalition petitioned the state, calling for testing of all net pens to prevent further amplification and spread of the virus, however officials at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife argued they did not have the authority to do so without permission from Cooke. To date, the extent of the harm caused by the amplification and spread of this virus is unknown and we are not aware of any efforts by government or industry investigating this serious concern.

County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence, Please see the KPTZ listener questions listed below for Monday, June 27, 2022 BOCC Update. Thank you, Lynn Sorensen KPTZ Virus Watch Team Questions for Dr Allison Berry: 1. Dr. Berry announced the Covid reported numbers will be only once a week. What day will updates be posted and what time? 2. Last week 69 cases were reported in one day, (the highest daily number since the start of the pandemic?) There was a super spreader at Blue Heron and a PTHS outbreak around their graduation a week ago Friday. Is it possible that even outdoor events could be "Super Spreader" events this time of year? Could some folks have caught it at the R2AK Ruckus? 3. My husband and I are 70 years old and have no underlying health issues. We are vaccinated (March '21) and received the first booster last fall . You are quoted on the JCPH web site as follows "... the data to support the universal need for a fourth dose for all people aged 50 and older is currently limited." Has that changed? Should we get the second booster? Are the vaccines we received last year still effective? 4. 1 am double vaccinated and boosted. I have avoided singing at church (I would have to be unmasked) because, in the past, singing in a room with quite a few people (30-50?) where the doors are usually closed, (although there are some air purifiers in the sanctuary),and people aren't masking and some aren't vaccinated, was one of the worst ways to get or give back the COVID virus. Has the advice regarding this changed? I would really like to be singing at church again. Is it safe for me? Is it safe for others? 5. 1 am vaccinated and twice booster. I am concerned with the new BA 4.5 variant as I am about to take a long plane ride. I, of course, will be masked in a KN95. It would be nice to be able to eat, any comments or tips? 6. Please will you address the likelihood of a 5th shot booster as was in the news about Sweden? 7. Will there be a reasonable anticipation in a nasal spray vaccine? Any new variant info as seen from a world wide view? 8. Is there still local covid support for assistance- if someone is ill and needs prescription pick up or food etc. Thinking of those who live alone or where entire family is ill or in isolation. 9. Please repeat the locations to access free masks. 10. Have there been instances of covid transmission in outdoor venues to your best estimation? Such as farmer's market shoulder to shoulder waiting lines? 11. Please consider to continue to include the number if cases as well as those in isolation. This data really helps inform us to take precautions for self and others as we all know " Covid is NOT over" 12. Can there be a mention of how to access the BOCC meetings with time and day during the covid updates on KPTZ so those with internet access may attend/ listen regardless of rescheduling or radio tech problems? Those without home internet access must plan ahead to go to open Wi-Fi ( the library is not open to use computers during broadcast time).

They also accept clean and dry packing peanuts of all colors and types (separated from the styrofoam), as well as white styrofoam food trays that are clean and free of stains and writing. Your materials will be inspected at your vehicle, and disqualified materials will be returned to you. 11 Thanks to the Fort Worden PDA, the styrofoam is packed and stored at the Fort Worden Battery Putnam, then delivered to Kent once per month thanks to OlyCap and Northwest Harvest food bank trucks. At the Kent facility, a densifier machine uses heat and pressure to convert the styrofoam into a toothpaste -like consistency that cools into heavy, glassy blocks, which are then sold to manufacturers of products such as picture frames, construction details, and surfboard blanks. The densified product is in high demand because it is less expensive than virgin plastic. You can check the schedule and/or message them at any time at PTStyro . clersPgmail.com or through their Facebook page.

Walks follow paths linking the woods and meadows in the park. At Finnriver, they will meander around the orchard to quietly observe natures' progress through the life of apples and pears. Several times they will pause, listen to a nature poem, and sit or stand in silence, and join in an occasional guided meditation led by Ellen Falconer, mindfulness teacher. Please wear clothing which will keep you warm and dry, as you may be walking, sitting or standing about in wet, chilly, invigorating seasonal weather. For more information call 360-316-6544 or visit their website. Walks are on Sunday mornings, either at Fort Worden or Finnriver Farm and Cidery. Times and meetup places are described on the website.

The Quimper Community Harvest Joins Food Bank Growers tit?G°, om Harvest The Quimper Community Harvest has been part of Local 20/20's Local Food efforts for a number of years, and has done amazing work at gleaning excess fruit from local trees since 20o8. The fruit is given to schools, food banks, non -profits, and senior centers, an incredible model of local resiliency and sustainability! It's been a great partnership. Local 20/2o also helped start many community gardens that are now dedicated to providing fresh vegetables for the food bank. After incubating under Local 20/20, these gardens then formed their own nonprofit "Food bank Growers." Since the Community Harvest efforts fit so well with the mission and work of Food Bank Growers, and has some great synergies and efficiencies regarding grant opportunities, etc., their board and Local 20/20 Steering Council recently signed an agreement with Food Bank Growers to transfer the Quimper Community Harvest group and associated funds to the Food Bank Growers nonprofit. Local 20/20 will continue to share information about Quimper Community Harvest on the Local 20/20 website, and of course, in our announcements. Any questions regarding this can be sent to cindy(d)12020.0179.

Recycling Simplified - Updated Plastics Recycling In Jefferson County *New* 11 up on the most up to date changes for which plastics Jefferson County is now accepting for recycling. Learn why the change and other phenomena pertaining to human ways of being. In Local 20/20's latest Port Townsend Leader column, Tracy Grisman of Local 20/2o's Beyond Waste group summarizes the recent changes. New Draft Report titled "Lower Snake River Dams: Benefit Replacement Draft Report" Now Available Gov. Jay Inslee and U.S. Sen. Patty Murray have released a draft report to examine Nhether the benefits provided by the four Lower Snake River Dams (LSRD) can be provided by other means so that breaching of the dams could be part of a ;omprehensive salmon recovery strategy for the Pacific Northwest. The report notes that the dams have significantly altered the physical, chemical, hydrological, and biological processes in the Snake River, changing it from free flowing to a series of reservoirs. All Snake River salmon are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The LSRD significantly limit the ability for salmon to spawn in the main river channel and create slack water conditions that favor other species, many of which prey on salmon. Breaching the LSRD would have the highest likelihood of removing salmon from ESA listing and maintaining treaty and trust obligations compared to other alternatives. The draft report and action information is available at https://www.Isrdoptions.org/ The Story of Glen Canyon the Pacific Northwest celebrates dam removals on the Elwha and soon on the Klamath, and dream of salmon passage restored with removal of the Snake River dams, the world's eyes are also on Glen Canyon Dam. The Glen Canyon Institute shows us the re-emergence of the canyons as drought lowers Lake Powell. 12 In the forward of Resurrection: Glen Canyon and a New Vision for the American West (2oog), Bill McKibben, writes: Folly is always folly — yet this one is rare in that the mistake of damming Glen Canyon became clear within the lifetimes of the people responsible. But it's also rare in that, here, we may really get a second chance. If the Glen Canyon Institute and others have their way, we'll bypass this dam, fill Lake Mead, and designate Glen Canyon a national park.... When that happens, the drained Lake Powell and the resurrected Glen Canyon will be emblematic not of our folly but of the graciousness with which nature is still willing to meet our adolescent species halfway. It will be a monument to the possibility that we haven't totally screwed up the planet forever, that we might still be able to back off a little and make our peace with the rest of Creation. Exploring Jefferson Transit's New Kingston Express Service from Port Townsend to Seattle Cindy Jayne recently tried out Jefferson Transit's New Kingston Express Service from Port Townsend to Seattle, and wrote about it in the latest Local 20/20 column in the Port Townsend Leader. In it, she shares how easy it was to use, and how it allowed her and her husband to have a fun day in Seattle without having to deal with parking hassles. It was easy to connect to the Sound Transit light rail and King County Metro buses to get up to the University of Washington, and back down to Pioneer Square for a snack before getting back on the Kingston Fast Ferry back to Kingston, where the Jefferson Transit Kingston Express was waiting. Plus it kept the carbon footprint of the trip low!

Now in Baltimore, one housing advocate who also happens to be a systems and software engineer, seeing the need for better data, created a new app called "Fight Blight Bmore".

The data gathered is meant to support advocacy" For more information, please click here.

Washington's Economic and Revenue Forecast Council unveiled their quarterly forecast of economic activity and revenues. Attached is a summary of key data and trends from the forecast. State tax collections are expected to grow by 11.6% between 2021 and 2022. The forecast calls for slower tax revenue growth of 0.5% from 2022-2023. Notably, the Council does not predict a recession but points out that inflation, interest rates, gas prices and the Russia - Ukraine crisis could tip the economy downward. If this trend continues, the Legislature will enter the 2023 session in a solid fiscal position, particularly with the federal relief funds that remain available to the State.

G ra nts... Important notice to grant applicants! The federal government recently changed its requirements for businesses and organizations receiving federal funds in the form of grants. It no longer uses the DUNS (Data Universal Number System) and has shifted to a new system known as the UEI (Unique Entity Identifier). As of April 2022, recipients of grants using federal funds are required to have a UEI, which replaces the DUNS Number. If you don't have one yet, you may want to apply now. You may apply for grants without one, but cannot receive funds until you have an UEI. Click here to apply now 3 Click Here to Learn More OPEN Now — Festival & Events Grants: The Washington Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the Washington Festivals and Events Association (WFEA) and ArtsWA, is administering a $3.5 million grant program to provide festivals, events and celebrations across the state with relief disruptions caused by COVID. This grant program supports "legacy -level" community events, festivals, civic and holiday celebrations, cultural and heritage events, music festivals, and street and arts fairs in communities with populations of 100,000 or less. Funding supports the 2022 calendar year. Grants are designed to either restart and stabilize "legacy -level" festivals and events suspended in 2020 and 2021, recover from disruptions and losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or both. Covered expenses include deposits on infrastructure (security, temporary fencing, staging, lights, sound equipment, etc.) and staff and labor costs. Grants range from $5,000 to $35,000. Award amounts are based on need and demonstrated losses. "Legacy -level" is defined as established festivals and events that have been held for five years or more in a community. As of April 2022, recipients of grants using federal funds are required to have a Universal Entity Identifier (UEI), which replaces the DUNS Number. If you don't have one yet, you may want to apply now. You can apply for the grant without one, but will need an UP if you are a grantee.

Please follow the recommendation of Mary Jean Ryan and consult the review of DNR land in east JeffCo by the NW Watershed Institute.

House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee released FY 2023 funding bill that would fully fund PILT <https://ctt.ac/068H1> 165 On June 23, the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) announced the distribution of $549.4 million to counties in 2022 through the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program. A complete list of funding by state and county is available here <https://pilt.doi.gov/counties.cfm> . https://www.naco.org/blog/fy-2022-pilt-payments-released-counties-while-us-house-interior-appropriations-bill-would-fully 1/6 6/30/22,10:42 AM FY 2022 PILT payments released to counties, while U.S. House Interior Appropriations Bill would fully fund PILT for FY 2023 The PILT program provides payments to counties and other local governments to offset losses in tax revenues due to the presence of substantial federal land acreage within their jurisdictions. Because local governments cannot tax the property values or products derived from federal lands, PILT payments are necessary to support essential local government services - those mandated by law - such as education, emergency services, transportation infrastructure, law enforcement and health care. PILT reaches over 1,900 counties in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Since 1977, DOI has invested nearly $10.8 billion through the PILT program in counties across the country. As U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland stated in her announcement, "This program is an important example of the federal government's commitment to continuing to be a good neighbor to the communities we serve. The nearly $550 million being distributed will help local governments carry out vital services, such as firefighting and police protection, construction of public schools and roads, and search -and -rescue operations." Additionally, on June 20, the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies released <https://docs.house.gov/meetings/AP/AP06/20220621/114914/BILLS-117 SC-AP-FY2023-Interior-AppropslnteriorDraftBilIFY2023.pdf5 the FY 2023 funding bill for DOI, the U.S. Forest Service, EPA and other agencies. This legislation fully funds PILT for next year by including the same one-year mandatory PILT funding language Congress has used since FY 2018. NACo worked with Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) and Congressman Tom O'Halleran (D-Ariz.) to secure 58 signatures on a bipartisan letter to U.S. House Appropriations Committee leaders supporting full PILT funding in FY 2023 Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Mike Crapo (R- Idaho) led a similar letter to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee leadership on June 1. NACo applauds Congress and the administration for their support of America's public lands counties. We look forward to continuing to work with the federal government to find a long-term, sustainable solution to fully fund the PILT program for FY 2023 and into the future. https://www.naco.org/blog/fy-2022-pilt-payments-released-counties-while-us-house-interior-appropriations-bill-would-fully 2/6 6/30/22, 10:42 AM FY 2022 PILT payments released to counties, while U.S. House Interior Appropriations Bill would fully fund PILT for FY 2023 mik filter by type - Any - https://www.naco.org/blog/fy-2022-pilt-payments-released-counties-while-us-house-interior-appropriations-bill-would-fully 3/6 6/30/22,10:42 AM FY 2022 PILT payments released to counties, while U.S. House Interior Appropriations Bill would fully fund PILT for FY 2023 M OG Deadline approaching for DOD funding of county infrastructure and economic development projects COUN 1Y NEWS PILT is no four-letter word for counties M= Interior announces Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grants to States and Territories for FY 2022 BLOG U.S. Forest Service distributes FY 2021 Secure Rural Schools payments to national forest counties https://www.naco.org/blog/fy-2022-pilt-payments-released-counties-while-us-house-interior-appropriations-bill-would-fully 4/6 6/30/22,10:42 AM FY 2022 PILT payments released to counties, while U.S. House Interior Appropriations Bill would fully fund PILT for IFY 2023 D� ()G USDA announces first projects under 10-year wildfire mitigation plan BLDG Congress passes bipartisan bill to preserve local decision -making authority for National Forest Counties SPOTLIGHT https://www.naco.org/blog/fy-2022-pilt-payments-released-counties-while-us-house-interior-appropriations-bill-would-fully 5/6 6/30/22, 10:42 AM FY 2022 PILT payments released to counties, while U.S. House Interior Appropriations Bill would fully fund PILT for FY 2023 O 1 I,L ,y� 0 � 1 Contact Jonathan, SII uffie Legislatkie Dir ctor - F"ul: he L.ancls Western Interstate R� b in (51.2) 965 7268 https://www.naco.org/blog/fy-2022-pilt-payments-released-counties-while-us-house-interior-appropriations-bill-would-fully 6/6 Julie Shannon From: Heidi Eisenhour Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2022 3:16 PM To: Julie Shannon Subject: FW: Fireworks OK in Port Ludlow??

Also, I understand that you have lust approved the sale of fireworks here in Port Ludlow. Looking forward to your response. Bert Loomis Jefferson County Washington Code:15.05.010 Purpose. To enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the public by ensuring that --- land will be maintained, --- in a manner so as to reduce hazards, [Ord. 3-98 § 2] [ 15.05.020] Administration and enforcement of code. (2) Administration of the International Fire Code Adopted in This Chapter. The fire marshal is chargedwith the administration and enforcement of the International Fire Code as well as any amendments thereof adopted in this chapter, and other duties as required by Chapter 2.40 JCC. The fire marshal's duties and authority shall include: (a) The fire marshal shall conduct fire plan review; (e) The fire marshal shall enforce regulations and conduct activities related to fire prevention --- and cooperation with, fire districts, and other agencies within unincorporated Jefferson County; (f) The fire marshal shall conduct all necessary enforcement action and proceedings pursuant to JCC Title 19 to enforce the International Fire Code as adopted by this chapter. In such actions and proceedings, reference in JCC Title 19 to "director" shall be a reference to the fire marshal or their designee, and reference to "department" shall be a reference to the department of community development; Loomis abandoned Trail Nine file notes (updated 6/28/22) To date, I have provided two -dozen photos of the abandoned Trail Nine course, since the golf course was closed in 2009, I have sent dozens of letters, emails and photos to the Port Ludlow Fire Chief, Jefferson County Commissioners, County Administrator, Prosecuting Attorney, Department of Community Development, and the County's Noxious Weed Control Board expressing my concerns over the ever-increasing fire hazard and noxious weed problems. With the exception of the Noxious Weed Control Board this issue has been completely ignored by Jefferson County. (8/30/18) Brad Martin Fire Chief [Toured the abandoned Trail Nine Course] "When we completed the tour, there was consensus that the 8 foot mow strip PLA is doing, in conjunction with the 6 foot cart path (totaling an average of 13 feet) is an acceptable barrier to the conditions we observed." Chief Martin's statement is of particular concern - that a "13 foot buffer is adequate", when it is only 43% of the universally accepted 30-foot minimumrequirement and 13% of the 100-foot preferred buffer. Note 99% of the course does not have the 8 foot mowed strip along the cart path. This is inconsistent with the 30 — 100 foot buffer's recommended and/or required by the 49 published report that I have read. (09/11/18). At the recommendation of the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Hass, a tour of the abandoned course was conducted on September 11, 2018 from 1:00 pm — 3:00 pm. Accompanying Mike at his suggestion was Kelvin J. Thomas a retired Forrest Service wildfire expert [Kelvin is married to Mindy Walker, a Jefferson County Judgel In addition, Doug Henderson and Steve Hammond accompanied Mike and Kelvin on the tour. After the tour Mike, Kelvin, Doug, and Steve met with Bert at his home on Edgewood Drive to debrief him. Generally the takeaway message from Kelvin was that the "recommendations of Chief Martin were woefully inadequate "and "the mowing plan proposed by Bert was very reasonable". (10/10/18). *Morris C. Johnson, "Good morning, Bert. I just received your information on the abandoned golf course. I still believe the information I emailed you earlier is your best defense to question the treatment recommendation outlined by the fire managers. In their explanation, they offer no evidence on how he decided on the size requirements other than stating, "there was consensus" for the 8 ft mow strip. So as I understand this is based on their 2 expert opinion and not science. The grt122 would disagree with this recommendation Let's chat when you have time. Note: *Morris C. Johnson is a research fire ecologist at the US Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, located in Seattle, Washington. He earned a B.S. degree in Urban Forestry from Southern University and a M.S. degree in Silvicultural and Forest Protection and Ph.D. degree in Ecosystem Analysis (Fire Ecology) both from the University of Washington (Seattle, Washington).

Bert (8/30/18) Brad Martin Fire Chief [Toured the abandoned Trail Nine Course] "When we completed the tour, there was consensus that the 8 foot mow strip PLA is doing, in conjunction with the 6 foot cart path (totaling an average of 13 feet) is an acceptable barrier to the conditions we observed." Chief Martin's statement is of particular concern - that a "13 foot buffer is adequate", when it is only 43% of the universally accepted 30-foot minimum requirement and 13% of the 100-foot preferred buffer. This is inconsistent with the 30 — 100 foot buffer's recommended and/or required by the 49 published report that I have read. •=f s . 4 z � \ —1—�a<,h 44 i occ From: Addie Candib <acandib@farmland.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 2:39 PM To: jeffbocc Subject: You're Invited: Farms Under Threat 2040 Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Jefferson County Commissioners, Communities across Washington depend on our region's farmland and ranchland. However, this land is rapidly disappearing, threatening our food security, undermining the agricultural economy, and making us even more vulnerable to the changing climate. Farms Under Threat is American Farmland Trust's multi -year effort to advance cutting -edge solutions for farmland protection. We use high -resolution spatial analysis tools to identify the threats to agricultural land. Our "Farms Under Threat: The State of the States" report, released in 2020, found that Washington lost nearly 100,000 acres of farmland between 2001 and 2016. AFT is now releasing our latest report, "Farms Under Threat 2040: Choosing an Abundant Future." This research looks ahead, showing that our development choices today will have a significant effect on the future of farmland and ranchland, and ultimately the food systems that sustain our communities. As Pacific Northwest Regional Director, it's my pleasure to invite you to join a webinar on July 121h at 11 AM PDT, where I'll be sharing our findings for Washington State. We have a choice: allow unchecked sprawl to continue to erode a critical resource or safeguard it with policies that protect farmland, promote smarter land -use planning, and lead to compact growth. I hope you'll be able to join us on July 121h. Register here. Warm regards, Addie P.S. If you can't attend the webinar, but still want to check out the report and maps, visit our proiect website I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this research.

Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. USIA Forest Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE it Olympic National Forest point News Release Olympic National Forest Contact: Public Affairs Officer Corina Rendon coring. rendonCaD-usda.gov Olympic National Park Contact: Public Affairs Officer Penny Wagner Penny wagner _nps.aov Forest and Park Officials remind visitors to leave fireworks at home and be careful with campfires while celebrating this holiday weekend Olympia, WA, June 29, 2022— As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, Forest Service and Park Service officials are reminding the public that all fireworks — sparklers included — are prohibited on all federal public lands, including the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. With increasingly dry conditions and higher temperatures, visitors are also reminded to be careful with campfires. "Fireworks pose a serious fire threat," said Micah Johnson, Acting Fire Management Officer for Olympic Interagency Fire Management. "People often assume fireworks are only risky in forested areas, but other areas across the peninsula like campgrounds and sparsely vegetated areas you can find along the coast are susceptible too." No other fire restrictions are currently in place on the Olympic National Forest or Park, but visitors are asked to be mindful of Washington's increasingly dry conditions when visiting public lands this summer. By following these safety tips, visitors can help prevent avoidable wildfires: 1. Let the night sky be your show 1 • 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. Select the right spot for your campfire • Where campfires are allowed, choose a site with an existing ring. Fire pits in established campgrounds are the best spots. • On the coast, fires may not be kindled closer than 10 feet to the nearest beach logs and may not exceed 3 feet in diameter. • If you are dispersed camping in Olympic National Forest and choose to build a campfire, avoid building it near your tent, structures, vehicles, shrubs or trees, and be aware of low -hanging branches overhead. Clear the site down to bare soil, at least five feet on all sides, and circle it with rocks. Store unused firewood a good distance from the fire. • Please follow Leave No Trace principles to minimize campfire impacts. 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. 5. 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. Call 911 to report the illegal use of fireworks or unsafe fire use. Additional campfire and wildfire safety information can be found at www.smokeyt2ar.com.

What services do the patient navigators provide? "Good pragmatic help," said Anne Devine, patient navigator supervisor. "People say it's the logistics that freak them out even more than the cancer. They're trying to figure out how to do it all and how to afford it all. The most common issues are transportation and financial assistance, along with insurance coverage, medication co -pays, medical lodging, translation services and emotional support." Cultural bridging is another area where the navigators make a big difference. Sometimes that means translating the medical -speak into understandable English and then into another language. Other times it's about knowing important cultural touchpoints.

This new initiative from the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion provides an opportunity for artists, employees and the broader community to be in dialogue about solidarity and the pursuit of equity in research and health care.

The Latest How your blood could help a cancer patient 3 Most people don't think much about the state of their local blood supply, but it's often top of mind for people who have cancer. An ongoing shortage of donated blood is prompting blood donation organizations to put out the call for donors. Research on Epstein -Barr virus vaccines advances Recent findings concerning the extent of damage wrought by the common Epstein -Barr virus lend urgency to efforts to develop a first vaccine. Now, Fred Hutch scientists have reported encouraging results in early laboratory tests of a new concept in EBV immunization. Updates on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion ASCO 2022: Equity, innovation and in -person Hutch cancer researchers and clinicians shared findings on disparities in clinical trial eligibility, Medicaid expansion, wearables to track symptoms and more at the 2022 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Eddie Mendez Award recipients announced There are 10 recipients of the award in 2022, which honors a physician -scientist and cherished colleague at Fred Hutch. The recipients are postdoctoral researchers from across the U.S. with research expertise in cancer, infectious disease and basic sciences. New grants help overcome health disparities A new round of funding aims to accelerate the progress of 11 organizations across Washington that are working to keep all residents healthy. The funding comes from the Community Grant Program, operated by the Office of Community Outreach & Engagement. Indigenous health equity focus of Pathways Symposium Science was interwoven with stories, history and song at this year's Pathways to Equity Symposium at Fred Hutch. Keynote speaker Dr. Donald Warne of the 4 University of North Dakota spoke about the need for greater Indigenous representation in cancer research as well as academic leadership.

At the recommendation of the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Hass, a tour of the abandoned course was conducted on September 11, 2018 from 1:00 pm — 3:00 pm. Accompanying Mike at his suggestion was Kelvin J. Thomas a retired Forrest Service wildfire expert [Kelvin is married to Mindy Walker, a Jefferson County Judgel In addition, Doug Henderson and Steve Hammond accompanied Mike and Kelvin on the tour. After the tour Mike, Kelvin, Doug, and Steve met with Bert at his home on Edgewood Drive to debrief him. Generally the takeaway message from Kelvin was that the "recommendations of Chief Martin were woefully inadequate" and "the mowinL plan proposed by Bert was very reasonable". (10/10/18). *Morris C. Johnson, "Good morning, Bert. I just received your information on the abandoned golf course. I still believe the information I emailed you earlier is your best defense to question the treatment recommendation outlined by the fire managers. In their explanation, they offer no evidence on how he decided on the size requirements other than stating, "there was consensus" for the 8 ft mow strip. So as I understand this is based on their expert opinion and not science. The art]22 would disagree with this recommendation. Let's chat when you have time. Note: *Morris C.

Apparently, PLA is willing to put our community at risk for a few $$$ in rental income. Can you please explain why Jefferson County has never required PLA to enter into a formal written agreement to adequately mitigate the fire hazard they created on the abandoned Trail Nine Golf Course. The 'mow strip' recommended by Brad Martin is a joke, as verified by qualified wildfire experts. DCD keeps giving PLA a pass on multiple code violations, placing my home and Edgewood neighbors at great risk of a wildfire. It has reduced the value of our property and quality of life. Apparently, protecting your Port Ludlow constituents is less important than appeasing PLA.

Bert From: "Diana Smeland"<DSmeland@portludlowassociates.com> To: bertl@cablespeed.com, "bbutler" <bbutler@co.jefferson.wa.us> Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 1:10:41 PM Subject: RE: To little to late! --- abandoned Trail Nine fire hazard Hi Bert Just to be clear, the mowing today was our third time. This is unusual, as we usually mow once in the spring and once in the fall, however since it has been so wet this year, hard to get a good mow. Diana Interesting --- at 7:00 am this morning PLA was finally mowing the cart path --- to little to late! See the attached plan supRorted by qua/ified experts When is the County formally going to address this issue? Thirteen years and waiting. (09/11/18). At the recommendation of the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Hass, a tour of the abandoned course was conducted on September 11, 2018 from 1:00 pm — 3:00 pm. Accompanying Mike at his suggestion was Kelvin J. Thomas a retired Forrest Service 1 wildfire expert [Kelvin is married to Mindy Walker, a Jefferson County Judgel In addition, Doug Henderson and Steve Hammond accompanied Mike and Kelvin on the tour. After the tour Mike, Kelvin, Doug, and Steve met with Bert at his home on Edgewood Drive to debrief him. Generally the takeaway message from Kelvin was that the "recommendations of Chie Martin were woefully inadequate" and "the mowing plan proposed by Bert was very reasonable". (10/10/18). *Morris C. Johnson, "Good morning, Bert. I just received your information on the abandoned golf course. I still believe the information I emailed you earlier is your best defense to question the treatment recommendation outlined by the fire managers. In their explanation, they offer no evidence on how he decided on the size requirements other than stating, "there was consensus" for the 8 ft mow strip. So as I understand this is based on their expert opinion and not science. The krt]22 would disakree with this recommendation. Let's chat when you have time.

LISDA Forest Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Olympic National Forest Olympic National Forest Contact: Public Affairs Officer Corina Rendon corina.rendon(cD-usda.gov Olympic National Park Contact: Public Affairs Officer Penny Wagner penny wagner nps.gov Forest and Park Officials remind visitors to leave fireworks at home and be careful with campfires while celebrating this holiday weekend Olympia, WA, June 29, 2022— As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, Forest Service and Park Service officials are reminding the public that all fireworks — sparklers included — are prohibited on all federal public lands, including the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. With increasingly dry conditions and higher temperatures, visitors are also reminded to be careful with campfires. "Fireworks pose a serious fire threat," said Micah Johnson, Acting Fire Management Officer for Olympic Interagency Fire Management. "People often assume fireworks are only risky in forested areas, but other areas across the peninsula like campgrounds and sparsely vegetated areas you can find along the coast are susceptible too." No other fire restrictions are currently in place on the Olympic National Forest or Park, but visitors are asked to be mindful of Washington's increasingly dry conditions when visiting public lands this summer. By following these safety tips, 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. Select the right spot for your campfire • Where campfires are allowed, choose a site with an existing ring. Fire pits in established campgrounds are the best spots. • On the coast, fires may not be kindled closer than 10 feet to the nearest beach logs and may not exceed 3 feet in diameter. • If you are dispersed camping in Olympic National Forest and choose to build a campfire, avoid building it near your tent, structures, vehicles, shrubs or trees, and be aware of low -hanging branches overhead. Clear the site down to bare soil, at least five feet on all sides, and circle it with rocks. Store unused firewood a good distance from the fire. • Please follow Leave No Trace principles to minimize campfire impacts. 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. 5. 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. Call 911 to report the illegal use of fireworks or unsafe fire use. Additional campfire and wildfire safety information can be found at www.smokeybear.com.
