of turnover in leadership and trouble restocking staff. Many COVID-19 workers are being let go as
funding expires. County health rankings will be released tomorrow March 29,2023. Mason County
shows the high positions per patient;however,it is closer to 1 physician per 1,000 patients. Public
Health will receive the next fiscal round of Foundational Public Health Services funds. Funds will
have to be returned June 30 and refilled July 1. The contract amendment changes the statement of
work. The budget forecast was low. Dave is working with the Treasurer regarding an abatement fund
for properties that are unable to clean up their parcels.

Ian Tracy discussed partnership for Puget Sound National Estuary Program. South Sound Shellfish
Recovery grant partnership Squaxin Pierce Thurston Mason and Conservation districts,up to$1.85
million.
Ian discussed West Nile Virus surveillance regarding specific locations for breeding,transfer stations,
and salvage stations. Department of Health did not categorize species and did not test mosquitos.
Cmmr. Shutty mentioned asking the Master Gardner's to help with mosquito traps in city limits.
The On-Site Sewage Advisory Committee is operating on bylaws that have not yet been approved by
the Board of Health. Per the RCW,bylaws must be approved. Memberships should be appointed to

Legislation
This legislative session ended with FPHS funding being renewed at the same levels as last year. Not all of
our FPHS funding was spent this year, something we share with many other LHJ's. We're all still in the
process of staffing up programs and expanding services to the community with what we've been
allocated. Unspent funds will be returned to the state in July and the new allocation arrives in July so
there's no impact to operations. Another$100 million has been allocated from the legislature for a
variety of new programs. Of the $100,000,000,40% has been carved out for DOH with the rest to LHJ's.
Mason County hasn't specifically asked for any of those funds. One area I would like to see the state
address is the data system that seemed to fail regularly during COVID. Some of the funding will be
drawn from the Vapor Sales Tax($28,050,000/biennium).
We have used FPHS public health funds in Mason County to expand water quality work, septic,
and solid waste complaints and resolutions, communicable disease response, improve cross-
cutting business capabilities, increase assessment capabilities, and surveillance of disease
patterns. As we go into this next fiscal year, we'll be expanding into course-of-life work and
chronic disease programs. We've recently added an epidemiologist to our staff, which marks
the first time we've been able to afford to do this work in-house.
With the official end of COVID, we are focusing on homelessness, housing, behavioral health,
substance abuse, and chronic disease. These areas cannot be addressed by public health alone,
so we are building our partnerships with local non-governmental organizations as well as our
state and local government partners.
The 2023 County Health Rankings have been released Mason, Washington I County Health
Rankings & Roadmaps . We're using that data to inform our 2023 Community Health Assessment and
support the Blue Zones Project. Mason County ranks well in longevity (79 years average) but
lower in those areas that will support health into the future.
Blue Zones has begun to operate in earnest here in Mason County. Blue Zones is in their
"activate" mode which will last three years. Julie Knott is our local executive director and is
housed in the EDC building right across from Public Health. Julie has an ex officio position on
the Mason Mattes board and will be working with us on our forum work with an initial
emphasis on food systems. We expect food systems report from Blue Zones within the next two
months.

Environmental Health Report - Mason County Board of Health
May 23, 2023
From Ian Tracy, Environmental Health Manager
Staffing update
Randi Ocean will be starting June 1 st in our Food Program. We have completed interviews and
hope to have our Solid Waste Code Enforcement position filled soon.
Solid Waste Abatement
We are still developing a process for solid waste abatement. Our legal council is looking into some
questions related to liens, but we hope to establish a process and have at least 2 clean-up
projects in progress by the next meeting.
Water Quality
WA Dept. of Health announced several shellfish classification area downgrades this year. See
attachments for discussion.
On-site Septic
In June we will start our annual Septic Blitz to promote septic maintenance in Mason County. This
campaign includes a postcard mailer to all properties with septic systems in the county, banners
posted throughout the county and 2 virtual septic maintenance workshops hosted by WSU
Extension.
Food
We are preparing to implement a new food inspection system using tablets which will allow staff to
conduct paperless inspections in the field. This system will facilitate better use of staff time as they
currently document their inspections twice; initially using paper forms at the establishment, and
again when they return to the office to data enter the report in SmartGov. This service also
includes a public facing web portal where anyone can look-up a restaurant to view past
inspection reports.

Dear Ian Tracy:
We have completed our annual review of the classification of Washington's shellfish growing areas and
have determined that parts of the Annas Bay, Hood Canal 5 —Lilliwaup, and Hood Canal 6 - Tahuya
growing areas fail the criteria for an Approved classification. This will result in the reclassification of a
portion of the growing areas. In addition, other parts of Annas Bay, Hood Canal 6, and Oakland Bay
growing areas are threatened with downgrades in classification.
We call an area threatened when a water sampling station passes the water quality standard but shows
bacteria levels that are near the limit of the standard, or when a shoreline survey identifies pollution
sources. The threatened designation usually does not mean that the classification of the entire shellfish
growing area is at risk.
Enclosed for your review is the state of classification summary report for your county, which summarizes
the current conditions. All of our annual reports, annual inventory map, state of the classification reports,
and the threatened area list and map are available on our website at:
hqp://www.doh.wa.gov/CommunityandEnvironment/Shellfish/GrowingAreas/AnnualReports.
We are notifying state and federal agencies, tribes and other public and private sector partners about areas
that are threatened. We want all affected parties to be aware of the threat and we want to encourage work
to identify and correct the pollution problems before a downgrade is required.
We would be pleased to meet with you or your staff to discuss shellfish growing area issues. If you have
any questions,please contact me at 360 236-3324 or scott.berbellskdoh.wa.gov.

State of Classification Report
The attached report illustrates the status of the commercial shellfish growing areas in your county. It includes a
breakdown of shellfish harvest acreage, impacts to marine water that result in Prohibited classifications, and
details regarding how your county compares to the other 13 counties with shellfish growing areas. We are
providing this information in hopes of continuing conversations about the current marine water quality in your
county.
Our program collected and analyzed the data within this report following the stringent pollution source and
marine water quality requirements set forth in the National Shellfish Sanitation Program Guide for the Control
of Molluscan Shellfish (NSSP). Commercial shellfish growing areas must meet numeric criteria outlined in the
NSSP of a geometric mean of no greater than 14 fecal coliform/100 ml and an estimated 90th percentile of no
greater than 43 fecal coliform/100 ml. These numbers are based on ongoing, long-term sampling at permanent
marine water stations. The classification statistics include the evaluation of a minimum of the last 30 marine
water samples collected over a 2.5 to 5-year period. Commercial shellfish harvesting is not allowed if marine
water stations fail to meet the marine water standards or if pollution sources are identified within the watershed
that impact the area.
Common terms used in the report include:
Classification—A specific term that defines the conditions under which commercial shellfish harvesting can
occur. It is determined by the evaluation of marine water quality, shoreline pollution sources, and
meteorological/hydrographic factors.
Approved—This classification applies to areas that meet very stringent marine water quality standards
and have no pollution impacts. Commercial shellfish companies can harvest directly from Approved
areas and take the product directly to market.
Conditionally Approved—This classification applies to areas that meet very stringent marine water
quality standards and have no pollution impacts most of the time. Periodic poor water quality, based on
predictable conditions, results in the temporary closure of the harvest area.
Restricted—This classification applies to areas that show a limited degree of pollution or areas where
active marine water quality evaluations are not available. Shellfish must be relayed to Approved or
Conditionally Approved areas and allowed to purge before harvest.
Prohibited—This classification applies to areas that have known marine water quality impacts.
Commercial shellfish harvesting is not allowed in Prohibited areas.
Upgrade— Reclassifying a growing area or portion of a growing area from a more restrictive classification to a
less restrictive classification. Example: Upgrade from Prohibited to Approved.
Downgrade— Reclassifying a growing area or portion of a growing area from a less restrictive classification to
a more restrictive classification. Example: Downgrade from Approved to Conditionally Approved.
Failing— Marine water sampling stations that do not meet the water quality standards. The classification of the
shellfish harvesting area must be downgraded.
Threatened— Marine water stations currently meeting the standards but are near failing or existing shoreline
pollution sources have been identified that may impact public health if not appropriately managed. Marine
water sampling stations with estimated 90th percentiles between 30 and 43 fc/100 ml are considered
Threatened.
Short descriptions of each section of the report follow:
CLASSIFICATION & RANK
Classified commercial shellfish growing areas vary in size from under 500 acres to over 46,000 acres. The
rank is based on each category's relationship to the same category in the other counties with commercial
shellfish growing areas. There are 14 counties with shellfish growing areas in Washington State. The total
classified acres in a county accounts for all Approved, Conditionally Approved, Restricted, and Prohibited
acres. The number of marine water stations in a county denotes how many permanent stations are routinely
sampled each year.
CLASSIFICATION BREAKDOWN & REASONS FOR PROHIBITED CLASSIFICATIONS
This figure shows a breakdown of the classifications and reasons for the Prohibited classifications. While the
Nonpoint denotation in the Prohibited classification chart is based on poor water quality; the Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) and Marina portions are based on the potential to pollute. Potential upset conditions
at a WWTP and discharges from boats in a marina are used to calculate these areas.
UPGRADES & DOWNGRADES
This table lists recent classification upgrades and downgrades.
FECAL COLIFORM ROLLING ESTIMATED 901h PERCENTILES
This figure shows the water quality trend over the last 8 years for all Threatened or Failing stations and
includes demarcations of the minimum Threatened threshold (30 FC/100ml-) and minimum Failing threshold
(43 FC/100mQ. The trend lines illustrate the change in bacterial marine water quality (estimated 90th
percentile) at those stations over time. Each point on the estimated 90th percentile trend line is calculated using
the previous 30 marine water samples.
COMMERCIAL SHELLFISH GROWING AREA MAPS
Page 2 includes maps of all shellfish growing areas in the county followed by insets of areas with Threatened
or Failing stations. Stations symbolized in orange are threatened and in danger of failing —these areas should
be, or should continue to be, the focus of water quality restoration work to prevent future downgrades. Stations
symbolized in red are failing and subject to be downgraded to a more restrictive classification. These stations
will require improvements in marine water quality and work completed to remediate pollution sources in order
to be upgraded again.

Annual Shellfish Growing Area Review
HEALTH
Prepared By: Trevor Swanson
Area: Annas Bay
Year Ending: December 31, 2022
Classification: Approved, Conditionally Approved, Restricted
Activities in the Growing Area in 2022
The growing area was sampled 12 times in accordance with National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) Systematic
Random Sampling (SRS) criteria. Nine sampling events occurred during Open status. The Conditionally Approved portion
of the growing area was closed 11 times for 130 days due to Skokomish River flooding. The Hood Canal Marina area was
closed May 1 through November 30 based on boat moorage. There are approved relays from the Restricted portion to the
Hood Canal 5 and 9 growing areas from November 1 through April 30 for varnish clams.
The Mason Clean Water District continued to implement the 2018 closure response plan. The Hood Canal Regional PIC
workgroup continued to meet.
Analytical Results of Water Samples
Table 1 summarizes the most recent 30 samples collected from each of the sampling stations. It includes eight sample
events when the Conditionally Approved area was closed to harvest. Table 2 shows the Conditionally Approved stations
during Open status (based on the Skokomish River condition). After removing Closed status data, Station 195 fails NSSP
standards with an estimated 90th percentile of 45.2 FC/100 mL. Stations 197 and 300 are categorized as Threatened with
estimated 90th percentiles of 36.3 FC/100 mL and 34.5 FC/100mL, respectively. Table 3 shows individual, open period
results for stations 195, 197, and 300.
Change in Actual Pollution Sources that Impact the Growing Area
We currently have no information indicating the area has any new sources of pollution.
Classification Status
❑ Well within the classification standards
❑ Meets standards, but some concerns
❑ Meets standards, but threatened with downgrade in classification
® Fails to meet current classification standards
Remarks and Recommendations
Station 195 fails the NSSP standards for a Conditionally Approved classification. The Department should evaluate the
classification of this station. Sorting closed period data out of the 30-sample dataset does not improve water quality
statistics at most Conditionally Approved stations. The Department should evaluate whether the Skokomish River
condition is still appropriate.
The Department should continue to work with Mason County, the Skokomish Tribe, and others to identify and correct
sources of pollution in the Annas Bay watershed.

Hood Canal 5 ■ Washington State Department of
Annual Shellfish Growing Area Review
HEALTH
Prepared By: Casey Deligeannis
Area: Hood Canal 5
Year Ending: December 31, 2022
Classification: Approved
Activities in the Growing Area in 2022
The growing area was sampled five times in accordance with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP)
Systematic Random Sampling (SRS) criteria. The sampling event scheduled for December was canceled due to
hazardous weather conditions. A routine three-year shoreline evaluation was completed and no new or changes in
pollution sources were identified.
Analytical Results of Water Samples
Table 1 summarizes results of the 30 most recent samples collected from the area. All stations in the Approved area
meet NSSP water quality standard. Station 303 is categorized as Concerned with an estimated 90th percentile of 23.8
FC/100mL. Station 186, in the unclassified area, is failing the NSSP standard for an Approved classification due to an
estimated 90th percentile of 48.7 FC/100mL. This station holds the Approved classification line. Table 2 includes the last
30 sample results for Station 186.
Change in Actual Pollution Sources that Impact the Growing Area
We currently have no information indicating that the area has new sources of pollution.
Classification Status
❑ Well within the classification standards
❑ Meets standards, but some concerns
❑ Meets standards, but threatened with downgrade in classification
® Fails to meet current classification standards
Remarks and Recommendations
Station 186 fails the NSSP standard for an Approved classification. The Department should evaluate the classification of
this station.

Hood Canal 6 ■ Washington State Department of
Annual Shellfish Growing Area Review
HEALTH
Prepared By: Casey Deligeannis
Area: Hood Canal 6
Year Ending: December 31, 2022
Classification: Approved, Conditionally Approved
Activities in the Growing Area in 2022
The growing area was sampled five times in accordance with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP)
Systematic Random Sampling (SRS) criteria. The sampling event scheduled for December was canceled due to
hazardous weather conditions. The Alderbrook Marina Conditionally Approved area was closed from May 1 through
September 30 due to increased boating activities. The growing area was closed twice for a total of 12 days due to more
than three inches of rain in 24 hours.
Analytical Results of Water Samples
Table 1 summarizes the most recent 30 samples collected from each of the sampling stations. All stations meet NSSP
criteria except for Station 217. Station 217 fails the NSSP standard for an Approved classification with an estimated 90th
percentile of 60.4 FC/100mL. Station 316 is Threatened with an estimated 90th percentile of 29.6 FC/100mL. Stations 192,
215, 216, 218, 225, 230, 292, 309, and 318 have a Concerned status with estimated 90th percentiles ranging from 20.2—
25.4 FC/100mL. Table 2 summarizes the most recent individual 30 samples collected at Stations 217 and 316. All
Concerned, Threatened, and Failing stations had elevated fecal coliform results collected on 6/29/21. From approximately
June 26 through July 2, 2021 the Pacific Northwest experienced a "Heat Dome" effect, with air temperatures breaking
historical records, reaching 100+ degrees for consecutive days. This intense heat wave likely caused bacteria to multiply
rapidly, leading to abnormally high results.
Change in Actual Pollution Sources that Impact the Growing Area
We currently have no information indicating the area has any new sources of pollution.
Classification Status
❑ Well within the classification standards
❑ Meets standards, but some concerns
❑ Meets standards, but threatened with downgrade in classification
® Fails to meet current classification standards
Remarks and Recommendations
Station 217 fails the NSSP standard for an Approved classification. The Department should evaluate the classification the
area near this station.
