RE: #SDPOO-00014 MARINA EXPANSION FSEIS
Dear Mr. Peters,
Jefferson County Fire District #3 is in receipt of the Final Supplemental EIS for the proposed Port
Ludlow Marina expansion. The District understands there is no active comment period on the
project at this time. A few points of clarification are requested of the County regarding the
mitigation measures listed in the FSEIS.
The FSEIS mitigating measures suggested for impacts to fire protection and emergency service
are:
. Fire hydrants and emergency access to be provided.
. New dry line fire suppression system to be installed on C-Dock, the central walkway and all new
docks.
. Training/or marina personnel and live-aboard residents in emergency fire fighting procedures.
. Fire call boxes to be installed on new docks and central walkway.
. Construct new connection between B-Dock and C-Dock.
The B-dock to C-dock connection is also noted at pg. 2-2 under the general heading of proposed
project and alternatives, before any of the individual alternatives are described. The location of
this discussion in the FSEIS gives the impression the B-C connection mitigation is expected
regardless of which alternative is selected. However, Alternatives #1, #3, and #4 do not
specifically describe or show the B-C connection. This makes sense only for Alt. #4 because it is
the no action alternative. Please clarifY as to whether the B-C connection was considered
mitigation with all the alternatives.
Alt. #2 identifies 32 new slips and a set of floats for breakwater/tie-up at the end of A-dock. Alt.
#3 identifies 36 new slips at the end of A-dock. Alt. #5 identifies 15 new slips and an extensive
breakwater/tie-up area at the end of A-dock. However, there is no explicit discussi<h!@~a ~1Vt::: Iv1

dry-line fire suppression system would be installed into A-dock if Alt. #2, #3, or #S were
selected. Please clarifY as to whether there was consideration of a dry line fire suppression
system into A-dock if Alt. #2, #3, or #S were selected.
There is no discussion within the FSEIS of installation of the dry-line fire suppression system into
B-dock regardless of the alternative selected. Please state if B-dock would have no dry-line fire
suppression system extended to it, regardless of the alternative selected.
There is no discussion within the FSEIS of installation of the dry-line fire suppression system into
the proposed unnamed dock in Alt. #3 that would be located immediately east of the fuel float.
Please state if this unnamed dock would have no dry-line fire suppression system extended to it,
if Alt. #3 were selected.
More specific to the fire suppression system, is the terminology "all new docks" used in the
FSEIS intended to include any new slip, tie-up, float, dock, breakwater, or connection, or was
there assumed to be a triggering length or minimum number of tie-ups prior to the mitigation
being applicable to a specific area of the marina?
Please clarifY where the "central walkway" is located on the existing marina, and if the location
of a "central walkway" would change depending on the alternative selected.
Thank you for your consideration at this point in the application process. The District looks
forward to the County's reply.
