Bragg M I NUT E S Week of November 13, 1979 10:00 a.m. Meeting called to order by Chairman A. M. O'Meara with all members present. Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit #15-78 for mechanical clam harvesting in Killisut Harbor; Department of Natural Resources, applicant. Doug Lyle, lessee of the subject subtidal tract, and the Department of Fisheries presented the D.O.F. Water Quality Study Report as required by condition #12 of the above referenced permit which restricts the harvesting to ebb and slack tides. The Department of Fisheries Water Quality tests find the stated restriction to be unnecessary. Mr. Marvin Tarr gave a brief summary of his testing methodology. He explained that the clam harvesters are contributing little or no silt to Killisut Harbor. Any silting problem is natural, evolving from plankton blooming. Mr. Ed Richey, Chairman of the Shoreline Management Advisory Committee, feels siltation is a problem in the harbor, but stressed the importance of marking the lease areas to avoid the intrusion of harvesters into too shallow of water. Marrowstone Island resident, Dave Hall, claimed of such an incident. Discussion of this incident resulted in noconclusion by the Board. The Department of Fisheries stated they will check into this claim. Mr. Richey further deliberated on the subjec~ of inadequate marking due to the recent changes in bouy markers in the Harbor, and suggested that the permit applicants have not complied with that condition of permit approval. Mr. Richey added that the conditions relative to ongoing research for the Harbor's environment and into new technology of harvesting appear not to have been implemented beyond the water quality study report submitted to the Board. The Board adopted to notify,by letter, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources advising them of lease tract marking problem. And advise by letter the Department of Fisheries' Olympia office of the scope nrfuture research activities. The Board adopted by motion of Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Mercer to delete condition #12 from Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit #15-78. Unanimous. Hearing.
