Recitals. 2.1. The City of East Wenatchee (“City”) is a non-charter code city, duly incorporated and operating under the laws of the State of Washington. 2.2. The Washington State Legislature passed the Shoreline Management Act (SMA) in June 1971, and it was approved by voters in a public initiative in 1972. The SMA is codified as RCW 90.58. 2.3. The SMA, recognizes that shorelines are among the most valuable and fragile resources of the State, and that state and local government must establish a coordinated planning program to address the types and effects of development occurring along City of East Wenatchee Ordinance 2021-14 with Exhibit A and B Page 1 of 8 Retain Ordinance until no longer needed for City-business, then transfer to Washington State Archives (GS50-05A-16 Rev. 1) shorelines of statewide significance. 2.4. The primary responsibility for administering the SMA program is assigned to local governments, with a significant oversight role by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology or DOE). 2.5. All counties and cities with shorelines meeting a specific threshold are required to adopt and administer a local shoreline master program to carry out the provisions of the SMA. 2.6. The Douglas County Shoreline Master Program, including the City of East Wenatchee, was originally approved by the Department of Ecology on February 20, 1975. 2.7. A comprehensive review and update was completed in 2009, as required by RCW 90.58.080(2), with the adoption of a new Douglas County Regional Shoreline Master Program approved by the Council with the passage of Ordinance No. 2008-09 and 2009-18. 2.8. The City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the City and its citizens to amend the adopted SMP. 2.9. The amendments, environmental documents, and meeting information were posted on the City of East Wenatchee website during the public comment and environmental review periods. 2.10. The City of East Wenatchee Planning Commission has reviewed the entire record and public testimony as it relates to the proposed amendments to the shoreline master program 2.11. On May 25, 2021, the East Wenatchee Planning Commission held an open-record public hearing and voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to the East Wenatchee Shoreline Master Program. 3. Authority. 3.1. RCW 35A.11.020 and RCW 35A.12.190 authorize the City Council to adopt ordinances of all kinds to regulate its municipal affairs as appropriate to the good government of the City. 3.2. RCW 90.58 authorizes the City to adopt a shoreline master program consistent with the SMA 4. Purpose. In accordance with RCW 90.58.080(4)(b)(iii), counties and cities must take action to periodically review and update, if necessary, revise their master programs. The purpose of the review is: 4.1. To assure that the master program complies with applicable law and City of East Wenatchee Ordinance 2021-14 with Exhibit A and B Page 2 of 8 Retain Ordinance until no longer needed for City-business, then transfer to Washington State Archives (GS50-05A-16 Rev. 1) guidelines in effect at the time of the review; and 4.2.

[email protected] ABSTRACT Parks, D.; Shaffer, A., and Barry, D., 0000. Nearshore drift-cell sediment processes and ecological function for forage fish: implications for ecological restoration of impaired Pacific Northwest marine ecosystems. Journal of Coastal Research, 00(0), 000–000. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Sediment processes of erosion, transport, and deposition play an important role in nearshore ecosystem function, including forming suitable habitats for forage fish spawning. Disruption of sediment processes is often assumed to result in impaired nearshore ecological function but is seldom assessed in the field. In this study we observed the sediment characteristics of intertidal beaches of three coastal drift cells with impaired and intact sediment processes and compared the functional metrics of forage fish (surf smelt, Hypomesus pretiosus, and sand lance, Ammodytes hexapterus) spawning and abundance to define linkages, if any, between sediment processes
