ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Robert Wood Johnson Grant Pronosal: Kathy Stafford presented a
copy of this grant proposal to the Board. She explained that it was the first step of
the process. The proposed grant is for $288,301.00, to be divided between the Health
Department and the School District over a three year period.
Snace: There was a discussion about lack of space to meet the growing
needs of the Health Department. Chairman B.G. Brown explained that the County
was negotiating a lease which should result in more space within the next six months.
Solid Waste Grant. Comnuter: Kathy Stafford explained that DOE
has put together a solid waste database and is encouraging computerization. She
suggested that a computer could be purchased under the current DOE grant. The
County would only have to pay 25% of the total price. She asked the Board to allow
a budget extension to meet the initial expense. The Board concurred.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH REPORT
Pronosed Policies . Onsite Sewal!e: John Heal, Program Director of
the Hood Canal Coordinating Council was present to give his support when Larry Fay
presented the Board with copies of draft policies for onsite sewage regarding vertical
and horizontal separation and community systems.
The WAC on vertical separation sets standards, but also gives the County final say
in this area. The horizontal separation on marine systems would be more lenient than
current policy, but more strict than the WAC. Larry Fay stated that the County's
position would be clarified by these written policies. The WAC on community systems
deals with systems that are over 3,500 gallons a day. This written policy would
address the design, management and maintenance of smaller community systems. The
draft proposed policies will be sent to designers, installers and other interested people
with a memo asking for comments before the January Health Board meeting.

Water Availabilitv Update: Larry Fay is still in the process of putting
together guidelines for alternative water systems to meet House Bill 2929 standards.
He explained that Jefferson and San Juan Counties were the only two considering
these systems and that there was not much data available. A part of the process
might be that people who want to use alternative systems bring their proposals to the
Board in a hearing process.
