The purpose of this enclosure is to address those items listed UIlder Uti1i.iiesandhow the PUD will work to comply with the required standards L 2. Policies. a. Whenever utilities must be placed in a shoreline area, the location should be chosen to not obstruct or destroy scenic views. Wherever feasible, these facilities should be placed underground or designed to do minimal damage to the aesthetic qualities of the shoreline area. The water system will be generally buried. b. To an extent feasible, Jefferson county and the City of Port Townsend should incorporate major utility corridors on shorelines into their programs and pans for public access to and along water bodies. The PUD agrees wholeheartedly. We will be installing water lines along all the existing roads on the Island. Power and telephone are already on most of the roads. We did ask Millennium Cable if they wished to share the ditch line, but they did not respond. c. Utilities should be located to meet the needs of future populations in areas planned to accommodate this growth. The PUD was requested to install this water system to protect the environment. Continued growth on the Island has resulted in sea water intrusion. d. Upon completion of installation and maintenance projects of shorelines, banks should be restored to preproject configuration, replanted with native species, and be provided with maintenance care until the newly planted vegetation is established. The PUD will not actually be installing any water line in the shoreline banks. We will in general be on the upland side of the road. Only the crossing of the causeway will be near the water. We plan to use directional boring to avoid being in a shoreline bank of any sort. 3. Performance Standards a. Utilities shall be installed adjacent to or within existing utility or circulation easements or rights-ofway whenever feasible. PUD concurs. b. Utilities shall be installed underground whenever feasible. PUD concurs c. Utilities shall be designed and installed to meet future needs when possible. System was designed to meet existing zoning at complete build out. d. When feasible, utility corridors shall serve multiple uses such as shoreline access or recreational trails or pathways. The PUD agrees, however, the existing roads do not lend theirselves to the creation of trails or pathways without considerable cost and intensive disruption of natural vegetation. The PUD is working with the State to reduce the depth of their ditches to allow more room on the road r/w. e. Utilities installed in the water, beach or upon tidal areas shall assure the water quality and marine life will not suffer degradation. The PUD will not install any infrastructure in the water, beach or upon tidal areas. LOG ~TEM #___2--1 Pa(le ~of.5 1\,,$ -=--- e e f. Installation of utilities shall assure the prevention of siltation or beach erosion. The PUD will ensure the contractor follows the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. g. Upon completion of installation or maintenance projects, banks shall be restored to a suitable configuration and stability, replanted with native species, and provided with maintenance care until the newly planted vegetation is established. The PUD will not be working within banks along the shoreline. We will be working in the shoulder of the causeway and will replant the shoulder upon completion of the work in that area. h. Utility discharges an outfalls shall be located, designed, constructed, and operated so degradation to water quality, marine life, and general shoreline ecosystems is kept to an absolute minimum. The water system will be self contained. During the construction the contractor will follow the SWPPP to mitigate possible discharges to the shoreline. i. Both during and after installation, utilities shall assure that geohydraulic shore processes and marine life are basically maintained in their natural condition. The PUD will generally be working within or around existing road ditches, which are designed to carry stormwater. We hope to work with DOT and the County to perhaps improve the existing ditches. Where needed we will use directional boring to escape possible work near the shoreline. j. Utilities located in flood prone areas shall be provided with adequate flood protection and shall not be installed to increase flood hazard or other damage to life or property. The water lines are not being installed in any flood prone areas. k. Flammable or toxic materials shall not be stored in areas subject to flooding. The PUD concurs. 1. Utilities shall not be installed in areas subject to geological hazards, unless it can clearly be demonstrated that such hazards can be overcome. A review of County and other governmental resource maps show that the water lines will in general not be in a geological hazard area. In the two areas that we are required to pass through an unstable area we will position the water lines on the up land side of the roadway and we will use flexible ball joints which allow the water lines to move with the ground. , 0' C \TElV' L . ,,:') " #- _..-2~ ':; - _ PaQa_3-of '- "'" --", e e ._'".."""'_h~.'_~.__"""'A"'__ , , Enclosure (Criteria) I I - / 1. The purpose ofthis enclosure is to respond to the Criteria listed in para 4.203 on page 35.--. 2. The PUD will conform with WAC 173-27-160, as amended, and the following criteria: 1) The proposed use is consistent with the polices of RCW 90. 58.020 and the polices of the Master Program. By having the county process act as the processing agent for the project (coordination with DOE, DOT, CTED, DOH, Corps of Engineer, F & W, and DNR), guess we are meeting the intent. Based on Jefferson County Resolution supporting a water system on Marrowstone Island I think we meet the intent of these criteria. 2) shorelines. That the proposed use will not interfere with the normal public use of public All the infrastructure will be underground and in roadways. 3) That the proposed use of the site and design of the project is compatible with other permitted uses within the area. The principle reason for this project is assist Jefferson County in meeting the WWGMHB directive. Public water is a rural level of service according to GMA 4) That the proposed use will cause no unreasonable adverse effects to the shoreline environment in which it is to be located. This project will actually not be in the shoreline it will be on the up land side of the roadways that run parallel to the shoreline with the exception of the causeway. 5) That the public interest suffers no substantial detrimental effect. In those limited instances where a conditional use is proposed, consideration shall be given to the cumulative impact of additional requests for similar actions in the area. This project should reduce eliminate the need for any future public water systems on the Island and should greatly limit the number of new wells drilled. lTEt\ll u -Jt'7 "~r -, Page- . ofS-_ ~>-- -- Chapter 173-27-020 WAC - yashington State Legislature e Page 1 of 1 Inside the Legislature Your Legislator .Participating in the Process Calendars and Agency Rules Agencies E-mail Lists Page Outside the Legislature II.Washington State History and Culture other llllliWashington Courts WA About Us I Contact Us I E-mail Lists I Search I Hel Legislature Home I S~nate I House of Representatives TITLES >>WAC 173 TITLE >>WAC 173 - 27 CHAPTER I I Pril 17:.3-27-Q1Q << 173-27-020 >>In-27-Q:.3Q WAC 173-27-020 Purpose. RCW~0,58,t4Q(3) requires local governments to establish a program, consistent with rules adopted by the department of ecology, for the administration and enforcement of the permit system for shoreline management. The local program should be integrated with other local government systems for administration and enforcement of land use regulations, It is the intent of these regulations to provide minimum procedural requirements as necessary to comply with statutory requirements while providing latitude for local government to establish procedural systems based on local needs and circumstances, It is also the intent of these regulations to provide for integration of the shoreline permit into a consolidated environmental review and permit process, This regulation is drafted to also reflect RCW 90,58.050 which provides that the Shoreline Management Act is intended to establish a cooperative program between local government and the state, According to this provision, local government shall have the primary responsibility for initiating the planning required by the act and administering the regulatory program of shoreline management consistent with the policy and provisions of the act, whereas the department shall act primarily in a supportive and review capacity with an emphasis on providing assistance to local government and on insuring compliance with the policies and provisions of the Shoreline Management Act.
