This policy work reflects the Community Development desire to comply with the legal requirements of SSB 6091 in a timely fashion. The outlined policy will be posted online and briefed to staff upon commission approval. BUDGET IMPACTS: Possible $60,000 revenue per year based on $150 per connection/permit at 400 permits per year RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION: Recommend adoption. ATTACHMENTS: attached packet. Briefing Summary 3/7/2018 MASON COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICES Public Health Community Development (Community Health/Environmental Health) (Permit Assistance Center/Building/Planning) 360-427-9670,ext.352 or 360-275-4467,ext 400 360-427-9670,ext 352 or 360-2754467,ext 352 415 N.6th Street-Shelton,WA 98584 615 W.Alder Street-Shelton,WA 98584 Staff Report: Dave Windom, Director, MCCS ESSB 6091 Implementation Situation: In response to the state legislature approving ESSB 6091, providing a long-term solution to the Hirst decision, staff prepared an emergency ordinance relating to the use of permit exempt water withdrawals for development purposes. This was adopted as an emergency ordinance so that the County could immediately comply with state law and process development permit applications dependent upon permit exempt wells consistent with the new law. Staff recommended that you adopt it on January 30, 2018 and schedule it for a public hearing on February 20, 2018. Staff would then prepare a final, permanent ordinance similar to the emergency ordinance to take through our standard public review and approval process within the next 60 days, prior to final GMA compliance proceedings before the Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB Case No. 12-2-0013). At the February 20th hearing it was discovered that not all materials pertaining to the ordinance had been placed online. Staff recommended that another public hearing be scheduled to correct the process and ensure compliance and transparency. The hearing was then scheduled for March 20th, 2018. Background:This ordinance differs from the previous interim water resources ordinances in that, pursuant to ESSB 6091, hydrogeologic instream flow impairment analyses and mitigation are no longer required for new groundwater withdrawal applications. For example, an applicant in WRIA 22 may now obtain approval for a groundwater withdrawal (a well) exempt from permitting under RCW 90.44.050 for domestic use only, with a maximum annual average withdrawal of three thousand gallons per day per connection. They must also pay a fee of$500 dollars ($350 of which the County must forward to the Department of Ecology), and must record any relevant restrictions or limitations associated with water supply with the property title. WRIA 14 and 15 have similar processes with restrictions to 950 gallons per day. Analysis: The code revisions as previously briefed meet the requirements of ESSB 6091. Additionally, staff received information from Ecology that applicants may still use a hydrogeologist to investigate non-connectivity to instream flows. Should non-connectivity be determined, applicants would be allowed the full 5000 gpd withdrawal provisions of an exempt well.The cost for this study would be borne by the applicant. This appears consistent with ESSB 6091.The current draft version of MCC 6.68 now includes this Daw 3/7/18 MASON COUNTY ia) COMMUNITY SERVICES Public Health Community Development (Community Health/Environmental Health) (Permit Assistance Center/Building/Planning) 360427-9670,ext.352 or 360-275-4467,ext.400 360.427-9670,ext 352 or 360-275-4467,ext 352 415 N.6th Street-Shelton,WA 98584 615 W.Alder Street-Shelton,WA 98584 provision. ESSB 6091 also contains provisions that immediately add to the County's watershed management work plan. The most noteworthy is that it directs the Department of Ecology to work with the initiating governments and the planning units described in chapter 90.82 RCW to update the WRIA 14 Watershed Management Plan by June 30, 2021 to identify the potential impacts of exempt well use, identify evidence-based conservation measures, and identify projects to improve watershed health.The Watershed Management Plan Update must include recommendations for projects and actions that will measure, protect, and enhance instream resources and improve watershed functions that support the recovery of threatened and endangered salmonids. The ordinance that made changes to the fee schedule from the February hearing is not being addressed today. All the elements of that ordinance were available online so there should be no public disclosure issues. That ordinance stands as adopted on February 20th, 2018.

In the field, mark clearing limits and/or any easements, setbacks, sensitive/critical areas and their buffers, trees, and drainage courses. (C) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #3: Protection of Adjacent Properties. Properties adjacent to the project site shall be protected from damage by sediment deposition. (D) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #4: Timing and Stabilization of Sediment Trapping Measures. Sediment ponds and traps, perimeter dikes, sediment barriers, and other BMPs intended to trap sediment on-site shall be constructed as a first step in grading. These BMPs shall be functional before land disturbing activities take place. Earthen structures such as dams, dikes, and diversions shall be seeded and mulched according to the timing indicated in erosion and sediment control requirement#1. (E) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #5: Cut and Fill Slopes. Cut and fill slopes shall be designed and constructed in a manner that will minimize erosion. In addition, slopes shall be stabilized in accordance with erosion and sediment control requirement#1. Supplemental Guidelines: Consideration should be given to the length and steepness of the slope, the soil type, upslope drainage area, ground water conditions, and other applicable factors. Slopes which are found to be eroding excessively within two years of construction must be provided with additional slope stabilizing measures until the problem is corrected. (i) Roughened soil surfaces are preferred to smooth surfaces on slopes (see BMP E2.35 in Chapter II-5). (ii) Interceptors (see BMP E2.55 in Chapter II-5) should be constructed at the top of long steep slopes, which have significant drainage areas above the slope. Diversions or terraces may also be used to reduce slope length. (iii) Concentrated stormwater should not be allowed to flow down cut or fill slopes unless contained within an adequate temporary or permanent channel, or pipe slope drain (see BMP E2.25 in Chapter II-5). (iv) Wherever a slope face crosses a water seepage plane which endangers the stability of the slope, adequate drainage or other protection should be provided (BMPs E2.30 and E2.75 in Chapter II-5). (F) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #6: Controlling Off-site Erosion. Properties and waterways downstream from development sites shall be protected from damage by erosion due to increases in the volume, velocity, or peak flow rate of stormwater runoff from the project site. (G) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #7: Stabilization of Temporary Conveyance Channels and Outlets. All temporary on-site conveyance channels shall be designed, constructed and stabilized to prevent erosion from the expected velocity of the peak flow from a two-year, twenty-four hour frequency storm for the developed condition. Stabilization adequate to prevent erosion of outlets, adjacent streambanks, slopes and downstream reaches shall be provided at the outlets of all conveyance systems. (H) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #8: Storm Drain Inlet Protection. All storm drain inlets made operable during construction shall be protected so that stormwater runoff shall not be discharged offsite or be introduced into any fill area without first being filtered or otherwise treated to remove sediment. (1) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #9: Underground Utility Construction. The construction of underground utility lines shall be subject to the following criteria: (i) No more than five hundred feet of trench shall be opened at one time, unless provisions are made to protect against adverse stormwater impacts. (ii) Where consistent with safety and space considerations, excavated material shall be placed on the uphill side of trenches. (iii) Trench dewatering devices shall discharge into a sediment trap or sediment pond. (J) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #10: Construction Access Routes. Construction vehicle access shall be, whenever possible, limited to one route. Access points shall be stabilized to minimize the tracking of sediment onto public roads. Wherever construction vehicle access routes intersect paved roads, provisions must be made to minimize the transport of sediment (mud) onto the paved road. If sediment is transported onto a road surface creating a hazard, the roads shall be cleaned immediately, and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day. Sediment shall be removed from roads by shoveling or sweeping and be transported to a controlled sediment disposal area. Street washing shall be allowed only after sediment is removed in this manner. (K) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #11: Removal of Temporary BMPs. All temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be removed within thirty days after final site stabilization is achieved or after the temporary BMPs are no longer needed. Trapped sediment shall be removed or stabilized on site. Disturbed soil areas resulting from removal shall be permanently stabilized. (L) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #12: Dewatering Construction Sites. Trench dewatering devices shall be discharged in a manner that will not adversely affect flowing streams, drainage systems, or offsite property. Water discharged from dewatering pumps shall be routed through a sediment pond or trap unless it is clear. (M) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #13: Control of Pollutants Other Than Sediment on Construction Sites. All pollutants other than sediment that occur on-site during construction shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that does not cause contamination of stormwater. (N) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #14: Maintenance. All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control BMPs shall be maintained and repaired as needed and in a timely manner to assure continued performance of there intended function. All maintenance and repair shall be conducted in accordance with an approved manual. (0) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirement #15: Financial Liability. Performance bonding, or other appropriate instruments, may be required to ensure compliance with the approved erosion and sediment control plan. (4) Minimum Requirement #2: Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems. Natural drainage patterns shall be maintained, and discharges from the site shall occur at the natural location to the maximum extent practicable. (5) Minimum Requirement #3: Source Control of Pollution. Source control BMPs shall be applied to all projects to the maximum extent practicable. Source control BMPs shall be selected, designed, and maintained according to an approved manual. An adopted and implemented basin plan (minimum requirement#9) may be used to develop source control requirements that are tailored to a specific basin, however, in all circumstances, source control BMPs shall be required for all sites. (6) Minimum Requirement #4: Runoff Treatment BMPS. All projects shall provide treatment of stormwater. Treatment BMPs shall be sized to capture and treat the water quality storm, defined as the six month, twenty-four hour storm. The first priority for treatment of stormwater shall be to infiltrate as much as possible of the water quality design storm into the ground. (Infiltration BMPs practices shall be in accordance with Chapter III-3 of the PSWQA Manual) Pretreatment of stormwater prior to infiltration into the ground may be required in cases where: (A) The stormwater contains high concentrations of undesirable dissolved chemicals that can move through soil. (B) The stormwater contains large amounts of sediment that might clog the infiltrative surfaces in the basin. (C) The soils are extremely pervious and will not properly filter the stormwater as in the case for some gravelly (type one) soils. Stormwater treatment BMPs shall not be built within a natural vegetated buffer, except for necessary conveyance systems as approved by the director. An adopted and implemented basin plan (minimum requirement #9) may be used to develop runoff treatment requirements that are tailored to a specific basin. The objectives of providing stormwater treatment BMPs are, for both surface and ground waters, to protect the quality and quantity, to allow attainment of the designated uses, and to meet state standards promulgated under Chapter 173 of the Washington Administrative Code. (7) Minimum Requirement#5: Streambank Erosion Control. The requirement below applies only to situations where stormwater runoff is discharged directly or indirectly to a stream, and must be met in addition to meeting the requirements in Minimum Requirement #4, Runoff Treatment BMPs: Stormwater discharges to streams shall control streambank erosion by limiting the peak rate of runoff from individual development sites to fifty percent of the existing condition two-year, twenty-four hour design storm while maintaining the existing condition peak runoff rate for the ten-year, twenty-four hour and one hundred-year, twenty-four hour design storms. As the first priority, streambank erosion control BMPs shall utilize infiltration to the fullest extent practicable, only if site conditions are appropriate and ground water quality is protected. Streambank erosion control BMPs shall be selected, designed, and maintained according to an approved manual. Stormwater treatment BMPs shall not be built within a natural vegetated buffer, except for necessary conveyance systems as approved by the director, and maintained according to the 1992 manual. An adopted and implemented basin plan (minimum requirement #9) may be used to develop streambank erosion control requirements that are tailored to a specific basin. (8) Minimum Requirement #6: Wetlands. Stormwater discharges to wetlands shall maintain the wetland's natural hydroperiod and flows to the extent needed to preserve or enhance its existing functions and values. Prior to proposing discharge of higher volumes of stormwater to a wetland, alternative discharge, detention, and infiltration practices located in areas outside the wetland shall be evaluated and employed by the project engineer where feasible and practicable. These requirements apply to existing natural wetlands and wetlands created as mitigation for loss of wetland acreage. Wetlands constructed and operated solely for use as stormwater treatment/storage areas are exempt from these and most other restrictions that apply to natural wetlands. Constructed wetlands may lose this exemption if not operated and maintained as stormwater areas for three or more years. Other local, state, or federal wetland protection requirements may also apply. (9) Minimum Requirement #7: Water Quality Sensitive Areas. Where the Mason County commissioners or their designee determine that the minimum requirements do not provide adequate protection of water quality sensitive areas, either on-site or within the basin, more stringent controls shall be required to protect water quality. An adopted and implemented basin plan (minimum requirement#9) may be used to develop requirements for water quality sensitive areas that are tailored to a specific basin. (10) Minimum Requirement#8: Off-site Analysis and Mitigation. Downstream Analysis May Trigger Additional Requirements. The project engineer shall provide a detailed qualitative analysis of the flow path of the discharge from the project site to the receiving water. This requirement shall apply to all projects where a drainage and erosion control plan is prepared, including those proposing retention facilities. This analysis shall include flow routing, and provide existing pipe and channel sizes and estimated capacities. In addition, the project engineer shall discuss any known or expected downstream erosion, flooding, or water quality problems, including those that may be caused by interflow from the proposed retention facility. The director or designee shall have the discretion to specify the distance and level of detail to be provided by the project engineer. In making this determination, the director or designee shall consider such factors as the relative size of the new development, availability of other hydrologic work for the drainage area, and the extent to which stormwater generated on the project site is to be infiltrated. Based upon this analysis, the project engineer may determine or the director or designee may require that a quantitative analysis of the conveyance system be performed both upstream and downstream of the project site. A quantitative analysis will not be required for most projects that propose to infiltrate most or all stormwater. This analysis shall determine conveyance system performance for the appropriate design event(s) both with and without the proposed development. The director or designee shall have the discretion to specify the distance and level of detail to be provided by the project engineer. The director or designee shall consider factors such as the relative size of the new development, availability of other hydrologic work for the drainage area, and the results of the qualitative analysis, in making this determination. The quantitative downstream analysis will include modeling the hydraulics of the proposed project and all other sources of runoff tributary to the receiving water body for the appropriate design event. The project engineer shall include an analysis of the impact of the twenty-four hour, one hundred-year event (in addition to "Design Event" analysis) for each component of the system including pond spillway. The director or designee may impose stricter discharge and/or detention standards if the discharge from the project, evaluated in the context of other existing conditions in the drainage area, is reasonably expected to result in any of the following: (A) Flooding; (B) Loss of aquatic habitat due either to high or low flows; (C) Property damage; (D) Water quality problems; (E) Erosion; (F) Or an unacceptable interruption of vital services. If the project engineer (or director or designee) determines that greater treatment, infiltration and/or storage volumes, lower release rates, or downstream improvements are needed, he/she shall specify project design criteria or other means to relieve the downstream problems (providing that such solution will not violate minimum standards established in the 1992 manual). Other means might include increases in downstream flow capacity and/or offsite detention and infiltration facilities, plans and financing for which will be subject to the approval of the director or designee. (11) Minimum Requirement #9: Basin Planning. Basin Plan Supersedes 1992 Manual. If a proposed project is located in a basin or sub basin for which the county has an adopted basin plan, stormwater requirements specifically identified in the basin plan shall take precedence over those provided in this chapter. However, all other elements detailed in this chapter shall continue to apply to such projects. Basin plans are required to be developed according to an approved manual. (12) Minimum Requirement #10: Operation and Maintenance. An operation and maintenance schedule shall be provided for all proposed stormwater facilities and BMPs, and the party (or parties) responsible for maintenance and operation shall be identified. An operation and maintenance (O&M) Covenant will be required to cover all privately owned and maintained stormwater facilities approved by the director. O&M covenant forms are available at the Mason County public works office. A copy of the completed instrument, shall be recorded with the county auditors' office by the proponent, and a copy of the recorded instrument is required to be submitted to the public works department prior to final approval of the completed permanent stormwater facilities. (13) Minimum Requirement #11: Financial Liability. Performance bonding, or other appropriate instruments shall be required for all projects to ensure compliance with these standards. (14) Variances from These Standards. Variances from these standards may be allowed at the discretion of the director or designee provided that the proponent will substantially meet flow control and water quality goals established by or implicit in these standards. Compliance with ordinance requirements shall normally occur within the project area, but may be performed as offsite mitigation in certain situations. Examples of cases when variances may be approved includes, but are not limited to, the following: (A) That the special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, such as size, shape, topography, or location, and that literal interpretation of these standards would deprive the property owner of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties similarly situated; or (B) That the site is being remodeled and certain site investigations would be destructive to existing structures; or (C) That remodels of existing projects which are either too small or so configured that in the director's or designee's opinion some requirements of the manual cannot practically be met; or (D) That public works or private sector projects are in an existing road right-of-way, which is not of adequate size to install preferred BMPs and for which right-of-way cannot be expanded because of encroaching structures or setbacks for existing structures. All requests for variances must be submitted in writing to the director or designee, and must clearly state the specific section(s) of the ordinance from which a variance is requested and why. (15) Experimental BMPs. Experimental best management practices are defined as BMPs, which have not been tested and evaluated by the Department of Ecology in collaboration with local governments and technical experts. Some so-called experimental BMPs will likely be minor variations on an existing theme. In that case, Ecology would review and approve or disapprove the BMP in as timely a manner as possible. Where new designs are developed (examples of experimental BMPs may be found in Section 1-2.17.2 of the PSWQA Manual), the review will be extended through the use of a standing committee of technical experts. These persons will review and comment on the practice, and Ecology will then determine whether or not these BMPs should be approved and/or added to the manual. (A) Approval of Experimental BMPs. Approval to use an experimental BMP may be granted subject to initial approval by the Department of Ecology and the local government. If such experimental BMPs prove useful they may be incorporated into later editions of the manual following appraisal of the results and appropriate technical review conducted by Ecology in collaboration with local governments and other interested parties. Approval to use an experimental BMP will only be granted when a suitable contingency plan using approved BMPs has been provided by the applicant to be used in the event that the experimental BMP does not perform adequately. In addition, several experimental BMPs have been included in the 1992 manual. People may wish to use these BMPs on a trial basis, subject to approval by the local government and provision of a contingency plan. In any event, use of experimental BMPs is encouraged whenever applied research is being undertaken so that more information is made available to facilitate judgement on their applicability and possible adoption as an approved BMP.

The funding request was for $750,000 with a 50% match from the County. We were put on the funding list for the 2017 funding cycle. This funding was part of the state capital budget so approval of this funding was delayed until 2018 when the capital budget was finally approved. Attached is the letter from Ecology informing us that we were approved for a $375,000 loan at 1.5% for 20 years and a $375,000 forgivable principal loan that will not need to be repaid. Belfair qualified as a hardship area so that is why half of the loan is forgivable principal. The sewer options the County is looking at in Belfair have grown since 2016. I have asked Ecology whether this funding could be used to look at additional areas in Belfair besides the Phase II area. We could use the planning funds to look at multiple scenarios for expansion. Cost Impact to the County The County did not budget any matching funds for this project in 2018 as the capital budget approval was after our budget process. We could push the timeline, for signing the funding agreement and starting the project, out until 2019. We could then budget for matching funds in 2019. Ecology would not want the project to start later than that. The County would also be responsible for paying off the $375,000 loan for the next 20 years once the project is complete. The annual payment on $375,000 over 20 years at 1.5% is $21,714.60. RECOMMENDATION: Public Works is requesting direction from the Council on whether to pursue this project. The Belfair Sewer System needs to expand its customer base to improve its financial sustainability. But the County is also pursuing other options for sewer expansion in addition to the Phase II area.

Robotics is the ultimate sport for the mind and combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources and time limits, the team of students must raise funds, hone teamwork skills, and build and program a robot to perform tasks as indicated in this year's "Power Up" challenge. It is as close to "real- world" engineering as a student can get. This year's challenge, will find teams trapped in an 8-bit video game. Each three-team alliance will work to defeat their competition by tipping a scale or switch, exchanging power cubes for power ups, or scaling a tower. Youth are learning and using sophisticated hardware and software while developing skills relating to design development, project management, programming, teamwork, strategic thinking, and cooperation. I "1 G, T N 4-H Shooting sports is all about safety first — but lots of fun! The Shooting Sports project includes many options for 4-H members and i promotes total family involvement.Youth learn safe gun handling skills, and sound fundamentals of shooting under the guidance of caring and certified adult volunteers. 4-H Shooting Sports is a youth development educational program that promotes positive youth-adult interaction and peer leadership. The focus of the Mason County 4-H Shooting Sports program is the total development of the young person.The shooting sports and related natural resource activities are utilized as a vehicle for personal growth and development. 4-H volunteers recently completed rigorous training and education sessions to become Certified Shooting Sports Instructors.The Mason County 4-H Shooting Sports project commenced on February 17 with an inaugural meeting and open house. To assist new and current 4-H volunteers, staff provided educational training sessions. These sessions provided volunteers tools to ensure a successful 4-H year. Topics covered included communication systems, State 4-H policies, club structure, and more. Contact was made with each 4-H volunteer club leader to assist in planning for the 4-H year. 4=H GROWS HERE 3 SNAP Ed Nutrition Staff: Christine Ciancetta, SNAP-Ed Program Coordinator Pamela Bish, Educator Gabrieal Volpe, Educator Updates: QUICK FACTS Youth Need County Health Rankings (2017) indicate that a full 27%of Mason County children live in households that lack the resources to get enough nutritious food on a regular basis. This compares to 16%of kids in the state overall. While Washington State reported a decrease of 2%for children living in poverty, Mason County reported a 3% increase from 2016 data. Specific risk factors for Mason County youth include higher consumption of sweetened drinks than state averages, low rates of breakfast and fruit and vegetable consumption, and low rates of physical activity. Adult Need SNAP-Ed Department of Health Regional Needs Assessment recorded health risk factors including adults without work or insurance and food insecurity.There are 11,440 Basic Food Clients in Mason County from the period July 2015-June 2016. This assessment also demonstrated that adults in Mason County have a number of health risks including poor nutrition, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and physical inactivity, heart disease and living with a chronic disease.These account for seven of eight measures reviewed. SNAP-Ed Goal With Regional and County data pointing to persistent negative outcomes, our overall goal is to create a healthy food and physical activity environment in Mason County that links SNAP-Ed programming between our partners. To the fullest extent possible, we seek to provide opportunities for learning about healthy behaviors while simultaneously creating school and community spaces that are venues for reinforcing and practicing these behaviors to create sustainable, long-term change. Programming Highlights Schools o National Smarter Lunchroom Design (SLD) -WSU educator Gabrieal Volpe, requested materials in Spanish to use with our Spanish-speaking population.Though no materials were available, WSU provided information to advocate for them.The result is that the National Smarter Lunchroom program took on a large scale, national project to create Spanish language materials for early learning environments. Roll out will begin with a national training webinar in mid-March in English followed by a Spanish language webinar in early April. Spanish language materials expected to be posted at the end of February. 2017 Contacts 0 1,768 direct education 0 6,948 indirect education 4 Community o Shelton Farmers Market and Farm Stands-Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program—Distribute free$40 in coupons to seniors who apply for the program.

Among other important water management measures,this law provides for counties to begin approving building permits and subdivisions for projects relying on permit-exempt groundwater withdrawals for water supply,subject to the provisions in the new legislation,while local committees work to develop plans to guide future water use. Ecology recognizes that there is strong local interest in ensuring that building permits relying on permit-exempt wells for new homes are in compliance with the new law. We are providing the following technical assistance regarding implementation of the requirement to record relevant restrictions or limitations associated with water supply with the property title. To comply with the new law it is also necessary for you to track all building permits and subdivisions authorized under the law,and to collect applicable fees. RCW 90.44.050 limits single or group domestic water use to a maximum of 5,000 gallons per day(gpd). The newly adopted legislation did not amend this law. The new legislation sets water use limitations that are specific to affected Water Resource Inventory Areas(WRIAs)where rules apply. There are four rules adopted to protect instream resources in Mason County: + Instream Resources Protection Program Kennedy-Goldsborough River Basin, Water Resource Inventory Area(WRIA) 14, Chapter 173-514 WAG • Instream Resources Protection Program—Kitsap Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 15,Chapter 173-515 WAC • Water Resources Program in the Chehalis River Basin, Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA)22 and 23,Chapter 173-522 WAC Within WRIA 22,the Chehalis basin,the following water use restriction and limitation should be recorded with the property title for affected parcels: • Domestic water use at this property is subject to a water use limitation of a maximum annual average withdrawal of three thousand gallons per day,per connection,subject to the five thousand gallon per day limit in RCW 90.44.050. Within WRIAs14 and 15,the Kennedy-Goldsborough and Kitsap basins,the new law requires that stormwater runoff at affected properties be managed on-site to the extent practicable by maximizing infiltration,including using low-impact development techniques, or pursuant to locally adopted stormwater management requirements,if locally adopted requirements are more stringent. In addition the following water use restriction and limitation should be recorded with the property title for affected parcels: • Domestic water use at this property is subject to a water use limitation of a maximum annual average withdrawal of nine hundred and fifty gallons per day,per connection, subject to the five thousand gallon per day limit in RCW 90.44.050. • If a Drought Emergency Order is issued pursuant to RCW 43.83B.405,domestic water use at this property may be curtailed to no more than three hundred and fifty gallons per day per connection,for indoor use only.Notwithstanding the drought restriction to indoor use,a fire control buffer may be maintained. We suggest that you also include these restrictions as conditions on the building permit. Under the Supreme Court's decision in Postema,projects proposing to rely on well water have the opportunity to demonstrate that their proposed withdrawal is not hydraulically connected to closed or regulated surface waters,or that they can provide adequate mitigation to offset new consumptive use impacts. This requires a site-specific analysis that is typically conducted by a licensed hydrogeologist. If project proponents choose to conduct this type of site specific analysis and succeeds in finding water available that does not impair adopted instream flows, recording the water use restriction is not required. We will follow up with your staff to outline procedures for transmitting the number of permits issued, and applicable fees, as well as any necessary guidance on implementation of aspects of the new law pertaining to subdivisions and comprehensive planning. Ecology staff will soon begin coordination with the County on implementing the watershed planning aspects of the new legislation. Please let us know who will be the primary point of contact at the County for implementation of the new law. Mike Gallagher,Water Resources Program Section Manager at our Southwest Regional Office,is heading up implementation of the new legislation for the Region. His contact information is 360 407-6058,or mike.galla%her@ecy.wa.gov. In closing,we hope this information is helpful to Mason County. Ecology is firmly committed to working with your staff to provide additional service as needed.
