Project Description: This project funds pollution identification and correction
activities to protect and improve Hood Canal water quality to safeguard public
and ecosystem health and keep shellfish growing areas and recreational beaches
open by preventing bacterial pollution flowing into surface waters. The Hood
Canal Regional Pollution Identification and Correction Program brings together
local health jurisdictions and tribal partners across the Hood Canal region to
coordinate water quality protection actions.This unique regional structure
enables cross-jurisdictional sharing of resources and expertise to solve water

OVERVI EW
The Hood Canal Regional Pollution Identification and Correction Program (HCRPIC) core
partners will work collaboratively to implement prioritized Pollution Identification and
Correction (PIC)work throughout Hood Canal to help reduce bacterial contamination
and increase harvestable shellfish acres. HCRPIC core members include Jefferson,.Kitsap,
and Mason Counties,the Port Gamble S'Klallam and Skokomish Tribes;other partners
include the county conservation districts, Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group, and
WSU Extension.
There are eighteen shellfish growing areas in the Hood Canal Action Area:As of 2019
the Hood Canal Action Area had 29,766 acres of approved growing areas,-1,515 acres
with conditional approval, and about 3,144 acres of prohibited or restricted growing
area. Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has identified several emergency
closure zones,threatened areas, and areas of concern based on marine water quality
data.There are close to 30,000 onsite sewage systems (OSS) in the project area, many in
close proximity to waterbodies and approximately one third of the systems are over 30
years old.PIC programs have been essential to maintain and improve water qualityand
will continue to be vital for the health of Hood Canal and its communities.
The project will primarily address fecal pollution and associated pathogens. As fecal
pollution sources'are corrected, less nutrients and organic materials, associated with
human and animal waste,will enter Hood Canal.That will result in less oxygen demand.
to break down algae blooms resulting from excess nutrients and the organic materials in
waste. Hood Canal Regional PIC Program implementation will identify and correct
pathogen sources.The resulting water quality improvements'will help achieve the Puget
Sound Partnership's Vital Sign recovery target to increase harvestable shellfish acreage.
Phase 1 of the HCRPIC program developed a coordinated PIC monitoring plan with the
goal to upgrade shellfish harvest areas and prevent future downgrades in Hood Canal
priority areas.In the Phase 2 and 3 implementation phases, priority shoreline areas
were determined by HCRPIC members using current water quality monitoring
information to identify the most important shoreline areas to survey.The prioritization
of shoreline areas will be updated annually as new data emerges. Phase 3 ended in
August 2019,collectively resulting in 66 shoreline miles monitored, 380 site inspections
completed,55 OSS failures identified,with 28 OSS repairs completed and the rest in.
HCCC Contract Agreement—Exhibit A Page 12.
progress.The incomplete OSS repairs will continue to be tracked in Phase.& Phase 4
builds off of previous implementation phases but with a reduced scope of work due to
funding limitations. HCRPIC Program- Phase 4 components include:shoreline surveys,in
priority Hood Canal shoreline areas, pollution hotspot investigation and correction,
updated GIS mapping of OSS in Hood Canal,outreach and education to Hood Canal 05S
property owners and decision makers, OSS maintenance rebates, ambient stream water
quality monitoring, and regional inter-jurisdictional coordination.
The Phase 4 work plan will be developed in consultation with DOH and will include:
O Remaining Phase 3 priority hotspots and work areas including Hoodsport,.,Union,
Big Bend,Alderbrook, and Annas Bay, and
® Other areas with urgent public health or emerging.water quality concerns.

sources found throughout the project period, utilizing a variety:of tools, collaborative
problem solving amongst the HCRPIC Guidance Group, and regulatory backstopping, as
needed,in order to achieve project objectives outlined above.
HCRPIC Program partners will determine Phase 4 priority work areas, including:
- Remaining Phase 3 priority hotspots and work areas including Hoodsport, Union,
Big Bend,Alderbrook, and Annas Bay-Skokomish River valley, and
- Other areas with urgent public health or emerging water quality concerns
MCPH will utilize this grant funding to investigate priority area shoreline drainages and
conduct parcel surveysto identify sources of fecal coliform bacteria.They will provide
technical assistance,work to correct identified sources, and conduct post-corrective
follow-up. MCPH will provide the regulatory;backstop of enforcement with the help of
WA Departments of Ecology and Health as needed,depending on the facility type.
Shoreline surveys for pollution hotspots: Monitor shoreline for pollution outfalls in
priority areas identified in the HCRPIC Phase 4 Workplan and per HCRPIC Guidance
Document protocols and approved QAPP procedures. Document areas surveyed using
HCRPIC Shoreline Surveys Log (included in the Cumulative Data Report).
Pollution hotspot investigation and correction:Within the priority areas identified in
the.HCRPIC Phase 4 Workplan,MCPH will conduct pollution source investigation and
follow-up of hotspots identified in shoreline surveys and ambient stream monitoring,

enforcement protocol developed by the HCRPIC Guidance Group and documented in
the Phase 4 Workplan. Procedures are outlined in the HCRPIC Program Guidance
Document and the QAAP.
Freshwater stream monitoring for pollution hotspots: Collaborate with Hood Canal

process to quickly and efficiently:
- Prioritize HCRPIC work areas
- Provide DOH with post-corrective water quality data
- Respond to DOH early water quality warnings
All pollution identification data funded by the grant will be regularly shared with state or
federal agencies.All pollution hotspots identified by HCPRIC partners will be referred to
DOH, and new pollution hotspots identified by DOH will be referred to the local health
jurisdictions. Updates on progress toward pollution source identification and repairs will
be regularly provided by local health jurisdiction staff, and progress toward water
quality upgrades by DOH and remaining information needs will be shared at Guidance
Group meetings, and as needed. Any identified agricultural pollution sources will be
referred to the local Conservation District.

template and submitted to program coordinators quarterly.See further
description of data collection and reporting activities in task 3.1.
- Enter monitoring data into Kitsap Public Health's online cloud-based water
quality database to facilitate EPA WQX data entry at end of project.

3.3 ONSITE.SEPTIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE REBATES
Homeowner rebates for onsite septic system maintenance will be provided to priority
parcels by local health jurisdictions.These rebates were very successful in Phases 2 and
3 to incentivize homeowners to properly operate and maintain their septic systems. In
Phase 4, HCRPIC partners will offer rebate vouchers up to $250 per OSS,to reimburse
costs for OSS inspections and pumping, and small repairs.
Rebate notices will be distributed to targeted residences using a consistent format
across jurisdictions.The criteria for rebate recipients will be determined by the
Guidance Group and approved by DOH. In past phases, criteria were set to target
homeowners who had not previously received a voucher, located in priority areas,or
had missing or overdue maintenance records.
Data on rebate recipients and services reimbursed will be tracked and analyzed to
evaluate the effectiveness of the rebate program as a behavior change tool and inform
future phases.
