DATE: October 4, 1988
PROPONENT: PORT LUDLOW INNER HARBOR VILLAGE
PROPOSAL: '!he propœal is, to develop a 56-lot residential su1:division, on
93 acres. Two lots will accœunodate a single-family' attached project of
24 four-plexes and 1 duplexes; nine lots, are acreage t~acts with single-
family detached homes; and the remaining forty-five lots arelcm density
lots with single-family detached hanes.Lot, sizes range fran a minimum of

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM
PORT LUDLOW BAY (NON-POINT SOURCES)
The program outlined herein is intended to implement requirements imposed by the Jefferson
County Board of Commissioners and the February 13, 1989 mediation agreement between Pope
Resources and the Protect Ludlow Bay Committee Inc. to retain the existing high quality o~
water in Port Ludlow Bay. On June 13, 1988, the Board issued a SEPA "Mitigated
Determination of Non-Significance" for Pope Resources' prop~sed development plans at Port
Ludlow. Mitigating Measure No. 11 stipulated that a monitoring program "be developed by the
proponent with county approval to provide information to the Jefferson County Planning &
Building Department on the water quality of Port Ludlow Bay and of the drainage into the
bay."
This program will be conducted in concert with a parallel monitoring effort required as a
condition of Pope Resources' new NPDES discharge permit for its expanded secondary sewage
treatment plant. Said permit was issued April 4, 1989. Monitoring for the NPDES permit
requirements concentrate on water quality impacts associated with a primary "point" source,
namely treated effluent being discharged from the outfall pipe located some 3000 feet northeast
of the wastewater plant.
In contrast, the program outlined below will focus on "non-point" sources of potential pollution,
These include impacts from the existing golf course, marina, recreational boats, agri~ultural and
forest practices in the Ludlow Bay/watersheds, plus stormwater from new residential and
commercial development, failure of nearshore septic systems, and influences of the log dump,
Taken together, it is intended that these two programs will provide an on-going, comprehensive,
composite picture of the status of water quality in the bay, Sampling stations for both programs
are shown in Figure 1 and a matrix in Table 1 presents the parameters to be analyzed.
Sampling procedures will follow protocol established by the Puget Sound Water Quality
Authority. Climatological, tidal and other environmental observations pertinent to these
investigations will be recorded by field sampling personnel.

Sediment Samolinl!
Surficial sediment sampling is designed to evaluate the accrual of heavy metals which would .
otherwise not be detectable in seawater. Samples are to be collected once annually from the
vicinity of the Port Ludlow Marina, from a site receiving stormwater runoff in the intertidal
area of the Inner Harbor, from a site receiving storm water runoff from Bayview Village; and
from the South Bay lagoon. A box corer or similar device will be used to collect sediment and
a number of casts will be made. in order to obtain a single composite sample from each of the
four sites. Samples are to be analyzed for % solids, nutrients, selected herbicides and pesticides,
,
TOC, grain size and total metals: As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, N~, Sb, Zn, and Fe.
Trends in sediment composition will be analyzed over time to determine if pollutants are
accumulating. At some time in the future, it may be desirable to determine the vertical
distribution of selected metals in the sediments in order·to evaluate sedimentation rates and
long-t,ermchanges in metal loading. Pb, for example, can be used to estimate sedimentation
rates.
Shellfish Samolinl!
Samples of edible clams will be obtained during a non-peak boating period in order to assess
the spacial extent of fecal coliform, heavy metal and volatile organics contamination during
times of non-peak boating activities, Samples have been collected from five sites throughout
Port Ludlow Bay during 1989 in support of this effort. Shellfish sampling may occur in the
future, but not during 1990.
Stormwater Samoling
Samples will be annually collected at six sites during an early-autumn storm event in order to
determine the transport of pollutants in storm water ru~off discharging to Port Ludlow Bay.
Samples will be collected at the Bayview Village stormwater detention pond out1~t, at two sites
from the creek draining the golf course, from Ludlow Creek and from a stormwateroutfall
draining the North Bay development. The Bayview Village p,ond outlet samples will
demonstrate the effectiveness of storm water management systems to be implemented at Port
Ludlow by comparison of stormwater Quality from the Bayview Village pond outlet with the
19438.00S,09/PtLudlow.doc

c
quality of stormwater from the' North Bay area. Water samples will be collected both upstream
and downstream of the golf course to evaluate the effect the golf course may have on pollutant
loads to Port Ludlow Bay. The samples from Ludlow Creek will be collected at the mouth of
the creek near a flow-measuring gauging station.
Log Dumo Sarno ling
The vertical distribution of oxygen, temperature and salinity is to be determined adjacent ,to the
log boom on each of the six sampling Gates of the NPDES monitoring.
Samples from all these sites will be analyzed for constituents listed in Table 1.
Seotic Tank Drainfield Failure
The County may elect to undertake studies to evaluate the extent of short circuiting by domestic
wastewater through on-site drainfields of perimeter homes. These studies would likely consist
of a combination of dye testing of the drainfields, use of a leachate detector and monitoring of
wells 10,cated downstream from drainfields. At this time, Pope Resources does not intend to
evaluate drainfield failure for properties it does not own.
Summary
This non-point source monitòring program is coordinated with the monitoring program required
by the NPDES permit for the wastewater treatment plant at Port Ludlow. These programs
have been designed to collect data to Duild on the knowledge gained during the intensive studies
of Port Ludlow Bay during 1984-1985 and will satisfy the monitoring requirements imposed by
the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners. The non-point monitoring program should be
annually reviewed as a part of the annual assessment of data to monitor unanticipated water
quality conditions. This information will be used to establish trends in water q~ality and for
comparison with Washington State water quality criteria for Class AA standards (173-21 0 WAC).
