CONSULTANT: MASON COUNTY
Description of Services
Mason County will provide services to support the implementation of the Hood Canal Regional
Pollution Identification and Correction (HCRPIC) Program's Phase 4,as described below.
This Agreement may require modification based on circumstances beyond the control of HCCC
and Mason County. PIC projects rely on field work(parcel surveys and investigations)to identify
On-Site Sewage Systems (OSS)failures.The field work portion of this project is subject to the
uncertainty of potential COVID-19 constraints. HCCC will monitor the safety restrictions and
orders for implications on this Scope of Work and may need to amend or terminate this
contract as directed by the Governor and State Department of Health.
During the course of this project, coordinators will work closely with field partners and follow
Washington state guidance to determine how and when PIC field work can be safely conducted.
The Parties recognize that field work timelines will need to be extremely flexible due to
potential public safety limitations and available staff resources.

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 quality challenges threatening Hood Canal's community
and ecosystem health.
Not to exceed: $44,546
Near Term Action ID: 2018-0639
OVERVIEW
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 pollution 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 quality and
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
HCCC&Mason County Public Health Agreement—Exhibit A Page 2
of shoreline areas will be updated annual) as new data emerges. Phase 3 ended in
P Y
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
progress.The incomplete OSS repairs will continue to be tracked in Phase 4. 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 OSS
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:
• 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.

Strategic Planning/Sustainable Funding:Strategic planning efforts will be conducted to
develop and implement a plan to enhance the HCRPIC Program's efforts to reduce bacterial
contamination in the shellfish growing areas of Jefferson, Kitsap,and Mason Counties. HCRPIC
partners will work with program coordinators to develop a strategic plan,which addresses the
key elements in the Pollution Identification and Correction Program Draft Protocols
Recommendations provided by the Departments of Health and Ecology.The Guidance Group
will determine objectives and scope of activities,which may include hiring an outreach
consultant to support the development of a sustainable funding outreach campaign, outreach
products, and presentations to decision-makers on water quality protection, program successes
and sustainable funding. HCRPIC partners will provide updates of sustainable funding efforts at
Guidance Group meetings.

one field staff participating in HCRPIC Program field activities must attend the training.
Project partners may participate in DOH-sponsored PIC workshops and other trainings/events
(subject to grant coordinator approval), as funds allow. Maximum of two events per sub-
recipient, or two people may attend a single event.
3.2 Pollution Identification and Correction Fieldwork
The HCRPIC Program members will identify, investigate,and work to correct all pollution
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 surveys to 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.

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$500 per OSS,to reimburse costs for OSS inspections
and pumping, and small tank repairs.
Rebate notices will be distributed to 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 include homeowners who had not previously received
a voucher, located in priority areas, or had missing or overdue maintenance records.
Local Health Jurisdictions will track and analyze data summarizing rebate recipients and services
reimbursed to evaluate the effectiveness of the rebate program as a behavior change tool and
inform future phases.
