See the chart on the SMP web page at: http://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/commdevelopmentlPDFS/SMPuodateISMP% 20review-revision%20diagram%20 12-1-08rev. pdf Per Table 18.22.270(1) Type US" streams (shoreline streams) have a 150 foot buffer. IF the CAO applied to the shoreline areas (which it doesn't), we would look to Table 18.22.270(2), Areas with Which Federally Listed Species Have a Primary Association. Salmon and other threatened and endangered species live in our marine waters. Table 18.22.270(2): Buffers for Other FWHCAs FWHCA Type Buffer Requirement Areas with Which Federally Listed Buffers shall be 150 feet; provided, that local and site specific Species Have a Primary Association factors shall be taken into consideration and the buffer width based on the best available information concerning the species/habitat(s) in question and/or the opinions and recommendations of a qualified professional with appropriate expertise. The specific designations for FWHCAs are at 18.22.200 (3) available online at: http://nt5.scbbs.Qom1Qgi-bin/om isaQi.dll? client1D=4435761 08&infobase=ieffc01. nfo&iump=18.22.200&softpage=PL frame#JUMPDEST 18.22.200 The threatened and endangered species list is at: http://ecos.fws. gov/tess public/lpub/stateListingAndOccurrence.jsp?state=WA Hope this helps clarify.

Also, at the last PC meeting I believe you said all shorelines were considered critical areas as adopted in the CAO. My understanding is that shoreline streams and specific areas of the marine shoreline designated as FWHCAs (kelp and eel grass, shellfish beds, sand lance, herring, surf smelt spawning areas, etc.) have 150' buffers, but not the entire shoreline. Did I misunderstand you, or am I misinterpreting the code? Thanks, Jim 2/19/2009
