  • Comprehensive Water System Plan (2011)
    Executive Summary PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The City of Snohomish’s (City) water system is a major infrastructure, much of which is invisible to the people that receive water from it. The water system requires qualified staff to operate and maintain it, and an ongoing capital improvement program to replace old components to meet the requirements mandated by federal and state laws. The primary purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Water System Plan (WSP) is to identify and schedule water system improvements that correct existing system deficiencies and ensure a safe and reliable supply of water to current and future customers. This WSP complies with Washington State Department of Health (DOH) regulations under Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-290-100, which requires water purveyors to update their water system plans every six years. CHANGES SINCE THE LAST WSP The City’s last WSP was completed in 1994. The following changes have occurred since the last update that affect water system planning for the City. In response to the events of September 11, 2001, the United States Congress passed the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (H.R. 3448), which became effective June, 12, 2002. The act requires all public water systems serving a population of over 3,300 persons to prepare a water system Vulnerability Assessment Plan and update or prepare an Emergency Response Plan. The 2003 Municipal Water Law (HB1338), which became effective September 9, 2003, identifies additional elements related to water rights, system capacity, service area consistency and conservation that are required in all water system plans.

The project’s authorized capacity is 111.8 megawatts (MW). The project is located on the Sultan River, 20 miles east of the City of Everett, Washington, in Snohomish County. The project occupies 10.9 acres of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest administered by the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service). Downstream of the project’s Culmback dam at Spada Lake, the Sultan River flows through a deep forested gorge for nearly 14 miles. The project powerhouse is located near the downstream end of the gorge. The District (Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County) currently operates the project to satisfy the City of Everett’s municipal water supply needs, protect aquatic resources, maintain Spada lake levels for summer recreation, and generate electricity. The new license requires additional measures to protect and enhance water quality, fish, wildlife, recreation, and cultural resources. The twelve signatories to the Settlement Agreement are the District, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Forest Service; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), U.S. National Park Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (Washington DFW), Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), Tulalip Tribes of Washington (Tulalip Tribes), Snohomish County, Washington; City of Everett; City of Sultan; and American Whitewater.

If the information looks familiar, it should. We have provided this information to customers each year since 1999. Why? It’s the law. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires water systems to provide customers with annual reports on the quality of their drinking water. We agree because we support your right to know. The key piece of information for most people is this: our drinking water meets or exceeds all government standards. We’re proud of our water system and enjoy the opportunity to communicate with you about your water. We want you to know where your water comes from, how it is treated, and what substances are in it. This information allows people, especially those with special health needs, to make informed decisions about their drinking water. Much of the water quality information in this report is technical. Our goal is to provide it in a format that is as understandable as possible. However, drinking water is a complex issue. If you have any question, please contact our staff at (360) 691-6441. Drinking Water Source The City of Granite Falls purchases your drinking water from Snohomish County PUD. Snohomish County PUD purchases the water from the City of Everett.

  • Puget Sound Salmon Habitat Assessment: Landscape Level Subwatershed Prioritization
    CONSERVATION PRIORITIES: AN ASSESSMENT OF FRESHWATER HABITAT FOR PUGET SOUND SALMON PREFACE This report entitled Conservation Priorities: An assessment of freshwater habitat for Puget Sound Salmon was prepared at the request of the Trust for Public Land (TPL) to provide a regional snapshot of Puget Sound’s most pristine, intact freshwater salmon habitat. TPL is a leading land conservation organization whose mission includes conserving land for people which often means protecting habitat critical to the health of salmon and other species. We believe the assessment can complement and enhance the work of many organizations that are striving to recover our Puget Sound salmon runs. The assessment is a synthesis of existing information and expert opinion. The report describes or attempts to draw from what is known, published and described by experts within agencies, tribes and watershed groups having direct knowledge of these ecosystems and populations. The assessment provides a priority listing and map of the most intact freshwater habitats for salmon in the Puget Sound. The prioritized list of habitats, together with the summarized information and compiled sources, can be used to help guide cost- effective conservation decision making in the near term for the benefit of salmon and encompasses the whole Puget Sound basin. Dr. Chris Frissell, of the Flathead Lake Biological Station at the University of Montana; Peter Morrison, Pacific Biodiversity Institute; Jim Kramer, natural resource consultant; and Marie Mentor, a consultant and former TPL Washington State Director, were retained to produce the assessment. This effort would not have been possible without the significant support provided by The Brainerd Foundation, the Kongsgaard-Goldman Foundation, King County, the Bullitt Foundation, and in-kind contributions from Pacific Biodiversity Institute and TPL.

The January 2011 RRMP replaces the RRMP submitted as Appendix 5 in the Settlement Agreement filed with the Commission on October 14, 2009 ("October 2009 RRMP"). This January 2011 RRMP makes minor modifications to section 3.2 and 3.3 ofthe October 2009 RRMP. Specifically, the October 2009 RRMP provided that the District will formally abandon (following State Forest Practice Standards) the portion of the 6122 Road that is located on District land (approximately 0.5 miles) and will convert it to a trail for hiking and access to National Forest System land. October 2009 RRMP at 12. The October 2009 RRMP provided that this trail will accommodate off-road vehicle (ORV) use for non-Project miners and administration/maintenance. Id. The January 2011 RRMP modifies this obligation by requiring the District to maintain (following State Forest Practice Standards) the portion of the 6122 Road that is located on District land (approximately 0.5 miles) and to gate it for use as a public trail for hiking, mountain biking and access to National Forest System land.

  • Sultan Comprehensive Plan
    CHAPTER 10: UTILITIES 10.1 Introduction The residents of the City of Sultan rely on facilities and services that help ensure a healthy, safe, and economically viable community. Some of these facilities are publically owned and operated and are described in the capital facilities chapter; other facilities are privately owned and operated. While sewer, potable water, and stormwater are considered “utilities”, they are owned and operated by the City of Sultan and for the purposes of this plan are addressed in the capital facilities element of this comprehensive plan. The citizens of Sultan recognize that planning for private utilities is the responsibility of the service provider; however, Sultan’s zoning regulations may place restriction on the location and site development of the utilities and may require a public review process before utility facilities may be located. Furthermore, while some facilities are privately owned and regulated at the state or federal level, coordination at the local level is essential to ensure that both current and future residents have access to these services. The utilities element provides a brief description of the different utility purveyors that operate in Sultan. It also encourages purveyors to consider the goals and policies of this comprehensive plan and this plan element when contemplating capital improvements to their private systems. In an age of constrained fiscal resources, it is ever more important to provide services with greater efficiency. Because the City acts in coordination with the County regarding population growth and related development, this plan also encourages purveyors providing utilities in Sultan to maintain close communication with Snohomish County and the City in regard to the capacity of their systems and to coordinate and review the development of each others plans.
