SUBJECT: Agenda item — Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group: Big Quilcene River —

STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Jefferson County Public Health requests approval of the Big Quilcene River — Moon Valley Acquisitions Grant
Agreement — September 7, 2021 — September 7, 2024; $89,500.
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PRO'S and CON'S:
This project, for Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group (HCSEG) to acquire property fee simple as riparian
buffer to the Big Quilcene River, was approved for Conservation Futures funds in Resolution #51-21 on
September 7, 2021 and amended on August 1, 2022. At its meeting on October 4th, 2022, the Conservation
Futures Citizen Oversight Committee confirmed that a request from HCSEG to reduce the total acreage
acquired, from 75.1 acres to 50.5 acres, would not significantly impair the conservation value of the project
and recommended that the grant agreement and project move forward.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
Funding for this project is provided by the Conservation Futures Fund, and there is no impact to the County's
General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
JCPH Management recommends BoCC signature for the Big Quilcene River — Moon Valley Acquisitions Grant
Agreement — September 7, 2021 — September 7, 2024; $89,500.
