Hi David,
Besides the transmission pipes underlying water in ditches draining to waters of the State, the
PUD's proposal also requires replacement of the transmission pipe under Kilisut Harbor on the
DNR easement from the end of Indian Island over to Fort Flagler State Park. That old, weak,
and probably leaking pipe needs to be replaced so it can handle the pressure necessary to fill
the new flagler storage tank to designed capacity to serve the Marrowstone system. The
Kilisut pipe obviously has been wrongly "phased" because it is an essential component of the
Marrowstone system, and it could not be constructed as a SEPA-exempt project.
I'd also like to say that as long as the PUD does not own either the Navy's Indian Island water
system or the flagler State Park water system, the PUD's Marrowstone system cannot be
considered an "extension" of its Quimper system. DCD permits would be issued for a new and
distinct water system.
Hope this helps. Any progress on the CWSP issue?
Thanks for checking in.
Nancy

Nancy,
What do you mean by, "known under-water components of the water system." ???

Attached is the .pfd file for the Marrowstone summary judgement on the LUD formation.
Judge Williams ruled that: LOG ITEM

"The Court finds that formation of the LUD is not precluded even though at the time of
the formation of the LUD the specific improvements contemplated were not within the
specific provisions of the public water system coordination act or the PUD's own water
service plan. Those plans must be amended, however, prior to any construction of the
proposed LUD."
As I stated in my earlier comments on MLA05-00276, there has been no programmatic SEPA
review of the impacts of the Marrowstone system on the Chimacum Creek sub-basin that will
be the source of Marrowstone water. Lacking to date is relevant SEPA review of:
(1) the PUD's 2004 Water System Plan update;
(2) a DOH-required amendment to that WSP for the new Marrowstone system;
(3) the PUD's engineering Project Report for construction of the Marrowstone system;
(4) Marrowstone construction permits, which DCD deemed to be SEPA-exempt,
despite adjacent wetlands and shoreline considerations
(5) proper completion, with SEPA, of an amendment to the County's Coordinated
Water System Plan referred to above in Judge Williams' ruling.
The Marrowstone water system has almost successfully eluded programmatic environmental
review, a review that has nothing to do with 8" pipes. The project has also been phased in
such a way as to avoid SEPA review of necessary and known under-water components of
the water system.
If the requested permits in MLA05-00276 are issued, they will not be consistent with the
existing Jefferson County Coordinated Water System Plan. WUCC approval of the
Marrowstone service area is not a sufficient CWSP amendment. Such an amendment
needs to be a legislative/SOCC decision with prior SEPA notice and determination, and then
given final DOH approval. None of that has happened yet.
How and when does the County intend to address the CWSP inconsistency?
Thank you.
Nancy
