Bragg M I NUT E S Week of February 23, 1981 10:00 a.m., Meeting called to order by Chairman B.G. Brown, with all members present. Mr. George Burkhart appeared regarding Public Law 90-542, Washington State Rivers Act dated October 2, 1968. An amendment to the Act last year addressed the addition of the Quillayute, Hoh and Dosewallips Rivers to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The Dosewallips River, from its mouth to the eastern edge of the National Forest boundary, has been designated for study for the purpose of being managed and maintained by the Department of Fisheries. If included in the Wild and Scenic category, 100 acres per mile on both sides of the river would be acquired by the Federal Government to be maintained as a non-commercial, residential area. If this amendment becomes part of the Act, Brinnon could lose 95% of all the commercial development in the entire community. Briefing today was to make the Board cognizant of the potential impact. No action will be necessary until the Board is contacted by the Federal Government for local response and input. Mr. Norris Short spoke concerning the County's policy for the acquisition of road rights-of-way, He questions whether a certain clause on the deed allows the County to take additional property for slopes, fills, etc. without compensation.
