The WAC refers to "new rights-of-way", not easements. There are no new rights-of-way proposed on Marrowstone Island.
The PUD has a franchise to put its lines in County rights-of-way.
Jim
Note that WAC 197-11-845 (3) and (5) refer to actions by the State DSHs, not Jefferson County. It would be their call whether
any of this requires SEPA review.

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for sharing your research. I'll talk to Public Works regarding the utility easements and get back to
you.
Regarding the airport wells, I see two cases for the airport:
USR04-00076, pending
USR04-00077, active
Susan Porto from Environmental Health may be able to answer any questions you have for that project,
Talk to you later,
Stacie

Stacie,
Checking the WAC's below (and attached), 1 learned below that the 1,000+ SEPA requirement applies only to extensions in new
rights of way. 1 don't know whether that is the case on Marrowstone --I couldn't tell from the blw line drawing you left for me at
DCD on Friday, so please make a note on the highlighted copy 1 requested of any new utility easements being
proposed. Nevertheless, WAC 197-11-845 requires SEPA review for Water System Plan amendments for "major" extensions of
existing systems. The Marrowstone system was not part of the recent DOH-approval of the PUD's WSP and will have to be an
approved amendment. It is fair to say that the proposed Marrowstone extension is "major", thus requiring a both a WSP
amendment and relevant SEPA analysis.
(3) The approval of engineering reports or plans and specifications under WAC
248-54-085 and 248-54-095, for all surface water source development, all water system
storage facilities greater than one-half million gallons, new transmission lines longer
than one thousand feet located in new rights of way and major extensions to existing
water distribution systems.
(5) The approval of an application for any system of sewerage and/or water general
plan or amendments under RCW 36.94.100.
Would you also let me know whether the PUD has submitted a permit application yet for the treatment facility for the proposed
airport well(s)? 1 saw some PUDlPort correspondence that said it was pending. Giving the absence of DOE approval of that well
for either a transfer or new water right, it seemed a bit premature, but oh, well, ....
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
I haven't seen the limit to the SEPA exemption of 1,000 feet. Would you mind directing me to its'
location?
My initial review was that if the water lines are proposed adjacent to the roadway above Ordinary
High Water Mark, then the project is exempt from SEPA per WAC 197-11-800(23)(b) as follows:
(23) Utilities. The utility-related actions listed below shall be exempt, except for installation,
construction, or alteration on lands covered by water. The exemption includes installation and
construction, relocation when required by other governmental bodies, repair, replacement,
maintenance, operation or alteration that does not change the action from an exempt class.
(b) All storm water, water and sewer facilities, lines, equipment, hookups or
appurtenances including, utilizing or related to lines eight inches or less in diameter,
WAC 197-11-756 Lands covered by water. "Lands covered by water" means lands
underlying the water areas of the state below the ordinary high water mark, including salt
waters, tidal waters, estuarine waters, natural water courses, lakes, ponds, artificially
impounded waters, marshes, and swamps, Certain categorical exemptions do not apply to
lands covered by water, as specified in Part Nine, (Part Nine lists the Categorical exemptions-
SLH)
Thank you for your time Nancy,

Subject: PUD waterline construction
Hi Stacey,
Thanks for your phone message yesterday while I was out. Yes, I would appreciate getting a copy of the PUD's
draft proposal line-drawing submitted during their pre-app conference with you. That should at least identify the
proposed location and extend of construction, which is the information I'm looking for. I am concerned that the
PUD appears to be planning construction for more than 1,000 ft of pipe which exceeds the SEP A exemption
criteria. Also, if the waterline is in fact for the new Marrowstone system, DOH has not approved that system as
part of the recently approved Water System Plan. According to DOH, to build the Marrowstone system, the
PUD will be required to amend their WSP and do so under the SEP A process, but they are saying that is not
necessary and seem to be moving ahead with permits. With all the other Marrowstone issues, I guess this is
going to be another one.
I'll swing by later today and pick up the copy out front if that is OK.
Thanks very much
Nancy

Stacie,
Below is an old message from DOH planner Karen Klocke. Her phone number is
listed at the end of the message if you have any further questions about
SEPA requirements for WSP amendments, I had contacted her back in 2003 when
the City attorney insisted that the City did not have to conduct SEPA for
its then-proposed and subsequently abandoned service area expansions.
