Pitts, Member Staff Members: Randall M. Durant, R.S, Phyllis Bee, P.H.N, Joseph Fischnaller, M.D. Gael Stuart, Administrator Chairman Brown called the meeting to order. All members were present. MINUTES: Commissioner Pitts moved to approve the minutes of February 16, l~b5 as presented. Commissioner O'Meara seconded the motion. Unanimous. W.I:C,(WELL CHILD CLINICS: Phyllis Bee introduced Jeanne Hibbard, who brietly reviewed.each at these programs. She provided pamphlets (attach- ment 1) which define services and eligibility. The W.I.C. Program, which is Federally funded, presently serves 140 clients in Jefferson County. Each client receives $30.00 worth of specific foods each month. Although many women and children in the County would qualify for this nutrition program, many of them do not take advantage of it. Well child clinics, for which there are no eligibility limitations, have increased from 12 per year to 96 per year, and are very well attended. NURSING DIRECTOR REPORT: Mrs. Bee provided her written report (attach- ment 2) tor rebruary, 1~83. She also reported that she will be meeting with State representatives next week to discuss family planning and how family planning services might be increased for Jefferson County. PROPOSED SEWER SYSTEM, HADLOCK: Gael Stuart read several letters regarding this matter into the minutes. The first letter, from PUD Manager Richard Kint to the Board of Commissioners (attachment 3), transmitted a lab report on surface water samples taken in the Hadlock area and requested that the Board take appropriate action to determine whether a health hazard exists. A letter from John R. Hansen (attachment 4) transmitted a second lab report, also on arrface water samples, and requested a detailed study in the area to determine whether a health hazard exists. Randy Durant's response to the PUD (attachment 5) was read and discussed. Dr. Fischnaller stated that both fecal coliform and fecal streptococcus, the presence of which were confirmed in the lab reports, are present in animals as well as humans, and therefore would be expected to be present in Health Board, March 16, 1ge3 Page 2 . , .' any surface water sample. Further extensive testing would be required to determine whether these contaminants are from human sources, Conditions which would indicate the need for such testing would be a high number of septic system failures in the area, contamination of potable water sources, and contamination of the Bay. Mr, Durant stated that septic system failures are extremely low in this area due to the high permeability of the soil. Although this permeability could, with further heavy development in the area and the installation of many septic systems, facilitate rapid percolation which could conceivably contaminate potable water sources, this is not a problem at this time, Two community wells in the area which serve a public water system are tested monthly by the City of Port Townsend, and no contamination has been found. The Bay was tested last summer by the Department of Social and Health Services, as part of the shellfish monitoring, and no sewage contamination _ W"s present._ Dr. Fischnaller and Mr. Durant were in agreement that there are no indi- cations that any health hazard exists, and that there are no conditions which call for further testing, In response to Commissioner Brown, Mr. Durant stated that a complete evalua- tion would entail a door-to-door survey to locate any septic system failures or other indications of problems (it was agreed that this procedure could meet with resistance by residents), followed by extensive testing for phosphates and nitrates (which would indicate septic system failure contam- ination) in areas where failures have occurred. Although a non-professional could conduct the survey, given specific criteria by the Health Department, current staff could not undertake this extensive project. Responsibility for conducting such an evaluation was defined by Dr. Fischnaller: If there is a suspected health hazard (which there is not at this time), it is imperative that the Health Officer implement an evaluation procedure, obtaining a court order if necessary. If no health hazard is suspected, septic system inspection could be done only on a voluntary basis, and the County has no responsibility for conducting an evaluation, Commissioner O'Meara made a motion that, inasmuch as there are no indications of a health hazard, no further investigation is to be made by the Health Department and Dr. Fischnaller is to so advise the PUD. Commissioner Pitts seconded the motion. Unanimous. --- --- Mr, Durant reported that he had received a Public Health Hazard Evaluation questionnaire from the Department of Ecology which they will use in pro- cessing a grant application made by the PUD for funding of development of a sewer plan for the Hadlock area, Mr. Stuart read the DOE letter and a description of the proposed project from the grant preapplication (attach- ment 6), The questionnaire will be completed and returned. Hadlock area residents Joyce were present and posed sewer district. Guy Rudolph, John Weidman, Moose Jennings and Doug stated the reasons for their objections to the pro- Aside from the approach used by pro-sewer factions Health Board, March 16, 19~3 Pa~e 3 ~ ~ and the p~rsonalities involved, which have caused conflict and hard feelings, it was their opinion that most residents of the area would be in favor of a sewer system if the financial burden were not so great. Unless some type of grant is obtained, which is not likely, the full cost will be borne by current residents, Much of the area which this proposed system would serve is currently raw land and, as the proposal now stands, owners of the un- developed land would not be assessed for the system. They presented figures and recounted information received from other sewer districts regarding cost of installation and operation which indicate that a monthly charge in excess of $30.00 per month per current resident would be required. It is their contention that, when the area is further developed and the cost of a sewer system could be distributed among more households, the proposal would be more feasible. AGREEMENT AMENDMENT: ALTON SWANSON ILLEGAL SEPTIC/HOLDING TANK INSTALLATION: A letter tram Mr, Swanson (attachment 7) objecting to the $90,00 charge tor 1983 for monitoring of his holding tank was received. Mr, Swanson was per- mitted to disconnect an illegally installed ~eptic system and use the tank for a holding tank on his Marrowstone property, after signing an agreement which stipulated, as one condition, that the Health Department would perform periodic inspections for which Mr, Swanson is to be charged, yearly, one- and-a-half times the established fee for a site evaluation. Following dis- cussion, Commissioner O'Meara seconded Commissioner Pitts' motion to amend the agreement to set a flat fee of $60,00 per year for 1983 and 1984, with the fee to be reviewed and re-established in line with current costs every two years thereafter. Unanimous. WELL, QUILCENE LITTLE LEAGUE PARK: Mr. Durant reported that his letter to the adjacent property-owner (attachment 8) requesting a restrictive covenant that would facilitate a variance by the Department of Social and Health Services to the 100 foot well radius has been mailed to two different addresses and been returned as undeliverable. He has been unable to obtain a current address. Therefore, the Board instructed him to inform DSHS of the situation and request that they grant a variance without the restrictive covenant. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO ORDINANCE NO. 2-77: A memo from DSHS (attachment 9) was received, contirming and making binding, the former approval given by Dr, Beare, Division of Health, to those amendmenffi accomplished by Ordi- nance No. 1-83, UPDATE, McCONNACHIE AND LAWS SEPTIC SYSTEMS: Mr, Durant reported that no design plans have been subm~tted tor e~ther of these systems. Separate actions taken by the Board on February 16, 1983 stipulated submission and approval of plans for both these systems prior to work commencing, GARDEN COURT APARTMENTS ON-SITE SEWAGE DISPOSAL t1ANAGEMENT AGREEMENT: Jimmie Cotton has the agreement and the only change he requested was that he sign the contract himself rather than on behalf of Jimmie Cotton Enter- prises, POSSIBLE FAILING SEPTIC SYSTEMS, QUILCENE: Commissioner Pitts asked whether Health Board, March 16, 1983 Page 4 ~ complaints about failing systems along Columbia Street had been received by the Health Department, as he has received complaints himself. Mr. Durant said no complaints have been received at this time. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH REPORT: In reviewing the written report for February, 1983 (attachment 10), it was noted that the number of septic permits issued is higher than a year ago. Mr, Durant stated that Discovery Bay is still closed for butter clams, but open for little necks, MEETING ADJOURNED: The next regular meeting will be on April 20, 1983, ~ s.~ OJ ...., ~'" g '" .e< - I. t:rl ~ OJ '" '" .s:: 0 .,Q ...., I.

M. O'Meara, Chainnan of the Board of Jefferson County Corrmissioners The Courthouse Port Townsend, WA 98368 Dear Bud, I raise again the issue of the presence (or absence) of a health hazard in downtown Hadlock. You Codrnissioners may well have inter- preted the decision by the PUD Corrmissioners to end the study of the Hadlock sewer as an indication of the end of their cOncern over this matter, At the last regular meeting of the PUD there was general agree- ment arrDng the Commissioners that they would like to have the question pursued. It is possible that the existence of a health hazard could impact on the present financial infeasibility. Beyond that it was mentioned that rumors were heard from time to time about failing drainage fields, limited business activity because of m~ipal drain fields and surreptitious modifications to drain fields. The corrmissioners therefore request that you take whatever action you believe appropriate to lay this matter to rest once and for all. If there is something the PUD can do to assist, please let us know. For your information and perhaps assistance, a copy of another lab report is attached. This was seen by the PUD Commissioners for the first time at the Hadlock sewer hearing on February 24. I have al"lo sent a copy to Randy Durant, but have not talked with him about it. Skid J.

I do not. question thdr decision, however, one most important aspect. was not, 1."'1 my opinion, considered. Specifically; the health hallard. Health considers tions are probably outside ot t.he PlIO area ot responsibility but they are definitely within the scop. ot considerations requiring .,vl!luation by the COlUlty. Mr. Purant advised that he is understaffed and not able to provide the detailed t.tschnical analyses to determine if. in fact., a healt.h hazard is present ~ the Hadlock.- Irondale-Ch:iJllacUlll cOlllplex. Two re~rtsare enclosed for your consideration. They indicate, based on the data presented, that. a health hazard could exist 1<lhich ll()\\ld, in turn, impact adversely on all residenl;.ial and commercial sites located in the area. The possibility ot being shut down for health reasons WDuld have a serious financial iJDpact on me and negate a sub- sulntial investment I have made in the Hadlocjt area. I am sure that others would be equally atfected. . It is recommended that a detailed study of the area be conducted by a tully qualified agency to detennine if such a hazard exists. It this should come to pass, then it would appear to me that you, as Comn1issioners of this county. llDuld have a responsibility to seek, on an emergency basis, funding to correct such a proDJ.em. .

Richard Kint PUD III Jefferson County Courthouse Port Townsend, WA 98368 Dear Mr. Kint: As per your request of February 22, 1983, I have reviewed the lab report from Laucks Testing Laboratories,. Inc. for Fecal Streptococcus'. This. -report was marked IIpresUI:1ptive results,. no confirmation tests' performed". I have d.iscuss- ed the results with a representative of the State Lab at Smith Tower and with our District Engineer at DSES. This test and the results are not conclusive and cannot be interpreted as sufficient evidence of a public health problem. This is not to say there may not be specific instances of failing sewage disposal systems or potential for such problems to occur. Fecal Streptococcus is present in animals and man. If you wish to determine if there is significant human sources of pollution, based on Fecal Streptococcus, further and more specific testing would be necessary. I am advised one test in- cludes speciation of the bacteria to determine the presence of human Fecal Strep- tococcus versus animal Fecal Streptococcus. Another test is a "ratio test" of Fecal Coliform to Fecal Streptococcus. Any tests performed should follow proper controls in s~pling, handling of samples and testing. If the PUD Board wishes to identify public health concerns and how significant they may be, testing for other sewage parameters should also be performed. In- cluded would be identification of any actual failing sewage disposal systems and past history of such failures. Review of potential ground water and surface water pollution should also be done. For more specific information the Board could contact the Washington State Depart- ~ent of Ecology and DSHS Water Supplies and WAste Section.

The Hadlock sewer plan proposal is as depicted on the accarq:>anying base map and feasibility study. It will serve scme 170 businesses and residences, including the present retail business core (about 70 acres) and rmdeveloped or little developed Ian , about 80 acres of which is waterfront on the south end of Port TcMnsend Bay. The con cept is for lagoon treabrent and then spray disposal of the effluent on forest land which belongs to the County. The first cut costs, prepared by consultant!;;, are nearl $2.5 M, were the entire system including treatment to be built. There are a number of user sub-systems to provide for growth and sub-system develofXTlE'Ilt over time. The Jefferson County Canprehensive Plan calls for sewering the current business area and for the orderly developnent of a radiating business core,rather than for strip developnent along the highway. In point of fact, it is the only other retail area, aside frcm Port TcMnsend, in the county of any real significance, with over 30 businesses presently in place.

The bulk of the 80 acres of developrent land on the water is prilre waterfront and has very Poor soil penreability. While the current state of the econany is apparently holding back the few developers wlx> control this land, they indicate a willingness,if this proposed public sewer plan fails, to undertake septic treatment of the waterfront perilreter. There are nearly 400 connections planned in the fonn of rrotel/resort facilities and condaniniums on 50 of these acres. What is planned for the remainder is not known. Health problems at tIus stage are apparently undocumented as such, and exist only as the usual staterrents about septic orders here and there. HCMever, if the growth continues at the present rate, it is only a matter of time, perhaps a short tilre, until a health problem will be created. To sum up, public sewer and orderly retail growth tied thereto is a key part of the County land use plan. Jefferson County with its dramatic beauty and limited popu_ lation will inevitably face the sane problems rrore densely populated areas now are encountering. Without a sewer, strip carrnercial developrent will ensue as will a large capacity ccmrercial septic system. All concerned would like very much to head off the obvious problems which are about to develop. A canprehensive sewer plan for the drainage basin has been prepared and is now awaiting review in the office of our OOE District Engineer. fl- ! \- / . < \ , I1H~chrnUl+ 7 51 . .-t. ~ tp' .-r-. _..... r ,'.: ":: U. . r\.::... . .~. .

Enclosed is a copy of an example Restrictive COVEnant and a sketch that denotes the 100' radius around the veIl that includes an area on your property (shaded) which reflects the area toe restrictive covenant would describe and affect. ~nould you agree, the covenant would prevent certain practices within the shaded area that ndght contamiGate the well.
