Background This closure response plan for the Duckabush area of Hood Canal 3 Shellfish Growing Area (Figure 1, Duckabush River Watershed) was developed by Jefferson County Public Health in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Ecology, the Washington State Department of Health, Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, Washington State University Extension, Skokomish Tribe and Port Gamble S’Klallam tribe. This plan is a working document intended to focus on restoring and protecting water quality in the Duckabush River watershed and the recently downgraded area in Hood Canal 3. It is expected that all affected agencies will agree to implement the components for which they are responsible. The closure response plan is a requirement of RCW 90.72 Shellfish Protection Districts. Non-point Source Pollution Point sources of pollution (e.g. wastewater treatment plants, marinas, industrial outfalls) are not present in the Duckabush watershed. Non-point source pollution generally results from precipitation and land runoff. Unlike point-source pollution, non-point source pollution comes from many dispersed sources. As rain falls on the land and the runoff moves, it may pick up and transport pollutants, depositing them into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters and ground water. Non-point source pollution is the leading cause of water quality problems in Jefferson County and pathogens associated with fecal bacteria are the primary pollutants. The health effects of non-point source pollutants in area waters are not fully known. However, we know that water-borne pathogens pose risks to people recreating in water and can be concentrated in filter-feeding shellfish. Shellfish harvesting and water recreation are popular activities in Jefferson County and commercial shellfish operations are a major industry. Water and shellfish resources also have cultural importance to area tribes. Duckabush River Watershed The headwaters of the Duckabush River originate in and Olympic National Forest. These forest lands and others managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources and private landowners constitute the majority of the drainage area. Residential properties exist in the lower five miles of the river corridor. There are 515 residential addresses registered with Jefferson County along the Duckabush shoreline and including the upland drainage; approximately half of them are thought to be seasonal vacation properties. The community of Brinnon is 3 miles north of the Duckabush River on US Highway 101. The 2010 Census listed the population of Brinnon at 797. Shellfish Downgrade A portion of the Hood Canal 3 Shellfish Growing Area was downgraded by DOH in September, 2017. The following is a summary from the July 2017 Addendum to the Hood Canal 3 Sanitary Survey report: Station 137 in the Hood Canal 3 Growing Area failed the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) water quality standard for an Approved classification in the 2016 Annual Report. In response, the Department of Health (the Department) is downgrading approximately 195 acres around Station 137 from Approved to Conditionally Approved. The Conditionally Approved area will be closed to commercial shellfish harvest from May 1 through Oct 31 each year. Growing area classifications after the downgrade are shown in Figure 2: Current Hood Canal 3 Commercial Shellfish Classification & Marine Monitoring Stations.

WDFW implemented a corresponding closure of recreational shellfishing at the Duckabush Tidelands public shellfish beach with the same seasonal restrictions as the commercial shellfish harvest closure. Shellfish Protection District In response to a threatened downgrade of the Discovery Bay Shellfish Growing Area in 2007, and because of water quality concerns in Mats Mats Bay and Hood Canal, Jefferson County formed the Clean Water District under Jefferson County Code Chapter 8.65. The district covers all of east Jefferson County

Therefore, the first requirement of RCW 90.72 Shellfish Protection Districts to form a shellfish protection district as a local response to a downgrade in classification has been achieved. JCPH created a Water Quality division to be the lead on all surface water issues, including coordinating the activities of the district. Funding for

Because the Clean Water District in East Jefferson County exists to protect surface water quality and shellfish resources, the development of this closure plan has been relatively straightforward. In addition, the strategies defined here as part of the closure plan are already incorporated into several on-going programs taking place at JCPH. These include the Central Hood Canal Pollution Identification & Correction Project and the JCPH Onsite Septic Operations & Maintenance Program. The Onsite program identified the entire Hood Canal Watershed as a Marine Recovery Area in 2007. Closure Response Strategies and Actions Table 1, Strategies and Actions, provides a list of the strategies, actions, timelines and outcomes that will be pursued under this closure plan. Under this plan there are four key objectives: Objective 1. Plan, Coordinate, and Report Objective 2. Monitor Water Quality Objective 3. Control Sources (OSS, Ag, Stormwater, Point Sources) Objective 4. Educate/Conduct Outreach Stakeholders Objective 1 – Planning, Coordination & Reporting Because of receiving early warning from DOH about declining water quality in Hood Canal 3, JCPH planned ahead for establishing a Clean Water Project that could address the concerns about the area. The Central Hood Canal PIC project was conceived in 2015 and application was made to Ecology’s fiscal year 2017 Centennial grant opportunity. The project was accepted and funded in 2017. Previous water quality projects undertaken by JCPH in the area include the Hood Canal Clean Water Project (Ecology 2007-2012), the Clean Water District Activities project (EPA 2010-14), the Hood Canal Watershed project (Ecology 2010-14) and the Hood Canal Regional PIC Phase 2 (NEP 2014-17). Coordination between several programs and agencies is a key part of the Clean Water District strategy. JCPH Water Quality receives all growing area reports and early warning documents from DOH Shellfish Program. In addition, JCPH shares data on identified water quality hot spots and failing shoreline septic systems that may have an impact of shellfish beds with DOH. Both programs perform marine and shoreline monitoring and coordinate on timing of surveys. In Hood Canal 3, JCPH coordinates with Kelly Curtis on marine monitoring and Jennifer Doughty on shoreline surveys. JCPH Environmental Health Onsite Septic program is an ongoing partner with DOH and has received funding for program development through the National Estuary Program (NEP). Washington Department of Ecology Water Quality Program has been a funding partner with JCPH through the Centennial Clean Water Fund. JCPH has established water quality projects throughout the Clean Water District through this fund. JCPH utilizes flow data from Ecology stream gages in the Clean Water District. Ecology has no currently active ambient water quality monitoring sites in the District. JCPH submits all water quality data to Ecology’s EIM database annually. The Jefferson County Conservation District has been an ongoing partner with the Jefferson County Water Quality program since its inception. In addition to assessing farms in the district for potential improvements to managing animal waste and surface water runoff and implementing best management practices to address them, JCCD has also been a partner in water quality monitoring. A 2014 survey of agricultural properties in the Hood Canal Watershed only found priority sites in the Quilcene area. No Duckabush area farms were reported to JCPH.

Washington State University Jefferson County Extension has assisted with the development of educational and outreach materials that are used by JCPH during septic system surveys. WSU offers annual classes that include an opportunity for JCPH to do outreach on water quality issues. JCPH distributes WSU pet waste information during sanitary surveys. JCPH also coordinates with the Jefferson County Marine Resources Committee. Jefferson County Environmental Health Onsite Sewage program is co-housed at JCPH with the Water Quality division. This allows for close coordination on septic outreach and enforcement activities. JCPH Water Quality typically performs septic enforcement activities when water quality violations are identified or complaints are received. This is done with guidance from the Onsite team, although enforcement of issues arising from operation and monitoring inspections is handled by Onsite. With the establishment in 2016 of an O&M fee on all parcels with septic systems, the Onsite division has funding available for managing inspection requirements, auditing and enforcement. JCPH has been an active participant in the Hood Canal Regional PIC program, a joint project of Kitsap, Mason and Jefferson Counties, the Hood Canal Coordinating Council, the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe and Skokomish Tribe. The current Phase 3 of this project involves coordination by JCPH with all of the project partners on the status of work on the Duckabush at quarterly Guidance Group meetings. The Phase 3 is also funding O&M inspection and riser installation rebates in the Jefferson County MRA (which includes the Duckabush area). Reporting on response activities is covered in Table 1, Strategies and Actions and will include quarterly reports to the State Department of Ecology on activities and outcomes from the Central Hood Canal Project and a final report at the end of the project in 2020. In addition, JCPH and DOH will regularly update all stakeholders to inform them on the status of response activities at quarterly Clean Water District meetings and quarterly Hood Canal Regional PIC Guidance Group meetings. Objective 2 – Water Quality Monitoring State Department of Health State Department of Health has increased the monitoring frequency of the Duckabush area marine stations to monthly since the downgrade occurred. This will provide additional data to better evaluate the nature of the bacterial indicator extent and frequency of occurrence of high hits under a greater variety of environmental conditions. Data will be shared with JCPH quarterly at Clean Water District meetings. Jefferson County Public Health The main program of action that will be followed by JCPH is the Central Hood Canal PIC Project. Grant funding was obtained from the Ecology Centennial Clean Water Fund under grant number WQC-2017- JeCoPH-00168 and work on the project began in 2017. The goal of the Central Hood Canal PIC project is to protect human health from risks of waterborne pathogens and keep shellfish beds open and waters safe for recreation. Under this project non-point sources of pollution will be identified from Central Hood Canal (Seal Rock/Brinnon south to the Jefferson County line). This includes the Hood Canal 3 shellfish growing area and the Duckabush drainage (as well as the Dosewallips watershed, the Fulton Creek watershed and Black Point/Pleasant Harbor area). Water quality monitoring will be performed in the shellfish closure area, and throughout the project area. For the purposes of this closure response plan the specific actions that target the shellfish downgrade area are outlined here:

• Monthly sampling of the Duckabush River and Pierce Creek (and other drainages in the project area) from November 2017 through October 2018 for fecal coliform using membrane filtration by JCPH. • Monthly sampling for nutrients (Ammonia, Nitrate+Nitrite, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, & Total Phosphorus) at the mouth of the Duckabush River and Pierce Creek (as well as the five other major drainages in the project area). • Shoreline freshwater E. coli sampling of streams, springs, pipes and culverts that discharge into the Duckabush delta twice a year in wet seasons and dry season over two years from fall 2017 through summer 2019 by JCPH. • Shoreline high hits followed up with hot spot confirmation resampling and investigation. • Marine fecal coliform and/or enterococcus sampling at the Duckabush mouth from May to October 2018. JCPH will attempt to sample additional sites in the closure area and seal counts will be taken during all trips. • Results submitted annually to EIM and reported quarterly both to Ecology and to Hood Canal Regional PIC. The Duckabush River has a USGS stream gage at mile 4.7. Although no flood stage has been established, JCPH has observed that flows of 3,000 cfs or greater have resulted in flooded homes and septic systems in the Duckabush floodplain. Objective 3 – Control Sources The DOH closure response plan guidance document breaks source control activities into four separate objectives; OSS, agricultural sources, stormwater, and point sources (including industry, waste water treatment plants and marinas). Since the Duckabush drainage is rural with residential development, little to no agricultural land use, no stormwater, sewer infrastructure or point sources, the source control objectives have been combined in this document, with the primary focus being onsite septic sources. There is only one marina (Pleasant Harbor) in the area and it is certified by the Clean Marina program and has pumpouts available. It is also located to the north and well outside of the affected closure area (Figure 3, Duckabush & Clean Water District). Onsite Septic Systems JCPH Onsite has 415 database records for septic permits in the Duckabush drainage and shoreline. Of these, 294 are completed installation permits. However, many of the lots in the Duckabush area were developed before septic permits were required in the early 1970s. Therefore, JCPH has made an effort, starting in 2011, to document the existence of previously unknown systems in the area through a series of projects. As of fall 2017, 548 active O&M cases from the Duckabush had been entered into the database with 233 of these being previously unknown. A major task of the Central Hood Canal PIC project is to identify and correct failing OSS in the project area. A total of 200 septic surveys are planned for the entire project area including the Dosewallips drainage, but the primary focus will be on the Duckabush. • The status and condition of OSS in the project area will be assessed through sanitary surveys. Shoreline parcels or parcels bordering water near the shellfish growing area will be prioritized. • We anticipate that we may also locate an unknown number of pre-permit or unpermitted systems and we will create records for those so that they can be further evaluated and inspected. • All failing systems that are identified will be required to be corrected by repair or decommissioning, with emergency measures such as pumping and reducing water usage implemented as needed.

• There are no permitted greywater systems in the area. Any greywater discharges discovered will be handled as failures since code requires any wastewater discharge to be properly treated. Typically, greywater discharges are required to be re-connected to the OSS with follow-up monitoring of the septic system to confirm that it can handle the hydraulic load. • An unknown number of outhouses are believed to be present in the area. Any outhouses in the floodplain will be considered a high risk for fecal contamination and will be required to be decommissioned. In addition, the Onsite Septic team will be conducting a variety of actions that will also take place in the closure area. These actions include: • A rebate program for homeowners to obtain up to a $250 rebate on their first O&M inspection and installation of risers. Funding for this program is currently available through the Hood Canal Regional PIC project. • OSS O&M Enforcement. Jefferson County Code requires that every OSS be inspected at the frequency required by state code (every 3 years for conventional systems and annually for any system with a pump). In 2017, JCPH started sending letters to area residents to inform them of this requirement and provide them with information on how to contact a certified professional to complete these inspections or how qualifying homeowners could become authorized (through the Septic 201 program) to inspect their own systems. While homeowners can get authorized to do some of the inspections of their system, a certified O&M Specialist is still required periodically to conduct these inspections depending on the level of risk based on location and proximity to the shoreline or other surface waters. JCPH distributes information about Craft3 septic repair loans and USDA Rural Assistance grants and loans to septic system owners. All survey participants and all landowners identified as needing septic repairs are given the information and JCPH staff also assist individuals with guidance on how to complete applications and find help for issues relating to permitting. Objective 4 – Education and Outreach JCPH held a public meeting in Brinnon to launch the Central Hood Canal PIC Project in the fall of 2017. A similar meeting will be held at the project’s end. A presentation was made to the homeowner association in the Duckabush area and articles on the project appeared in their newsletter. The Onsite Septic Team provides 3-4 O&M classes every spring and fall that are free to Jefferson County residents. These classes hold up to 40 individual each and consist of the 4-hour Septic 101 class and the Septic 201 homeowner authorization class. These will be offered to residents in the closure. Clean Water District meetings are open to the public and are held quarterly on the second Thursday of months 2, 5, 8 and 11 at JCPH. Hood Canal Regional PIC Guidance Group meetings are not open to the public, but allow coordination between agencies and involvement with WSU, who have had a role in assisting with outreach in past phases of the project. Table 1, Strategies and Actions, below, lists all of the planned closure response activities organized by objective.
