Vashon Island, Washington 3.7 Horse trails A system of horse trails will be developed to link major environmental assets, park, and recreational facilities throughout Whatcom County. To the extent practical and possible, horse trails will be linked or extended into local communities that have significant horse populations to provide convenient and safe access for riders of all age and skill levels. Within the developed areas, horse trails will parallel or coincide with other multipurpose trail corridors or be within separate routes using powerline, pipeline, and other alignments of interest to the horse riding population. Horse trails will be constructed to USDA Forest Service standards of a sand or compacted dirt base with an additional under-story clearance on either side of the trail. When provided within a multipurpose trail corridor, the horse trail will be separated as much as possible from other hiking and biking activities. Riders will be required to dismount at all bridges and other elevated crossings where the horse trail coincides with other trail activities. Horse trails will generally share trailhead services with other trail users when the horse trail is located within a multipurpose trail corridor. When horse trails are provided in separate locations, trailheads will be provided with parking lots, hitching racks, restrooms, and other services. Some of the horse trails proposed within this plan have already been developed on an informal basis by horse riding organizations working in conjunction with public and private landowners. Future public horse trail development projects will use the same cooperative, joint venture approach to formally designate and improve existing trails and trailheads. Vision As described, the horse trails vision will provide or formally designate equestrian access: to scenic areas and other features of interest, for riders of all capability levels, for extended ride duration, and within close proximity to the extent possible, to horse riding populations. Backcountry horse trails Existing backcountry horse trails A system of horse trails has been developed and in some instances, designated on an informal basis, across public and some private lands (subject to property owner permission) on Chuckanut, Lookout, Sumas, and Black Mountains.

BNSF Railway Case #: 2:09-CV-01087-JCC Dear Mr. Swegle, Please aCCept this third and final report on the Rose Foundation’s use of funds from Puget Soundkeeper AllianCe v. BNSF Railway Company. Creating the Puget Sound Stewardship and Mitigation Fund: In MarCh 2012, the Rose Foundation reCeived a restitution payment of $1,500,000 from BNSF Railway Company. Under the terms of the Consent DeCree, the funds could only be used to support projeCts to improve the water quality of Puget Sound. The BNSF funds enabled the Rose Foundation to launCh a new grants program solely dediCated to benefitting Puget Sound, the Puget Sound Stewardship and Mitigation Fund. To guide our outreaCh to appliCants and help analyze funding proposals, the Foundation reCruited a volunteer funding advisory board with a diverse mix of individuals who possess tremendous knowledge of Puget Sound. The funding board inCluded: • Lee Moyer: a retired kayak manufacturer and the former president of the Washington State Parks Boating Safety Committee. He is the author of Sea Kayak Navigation Simplified, a praCtiCal hands-on guide for the Coastal kayaker, and formerly served on the Seattle Shoreline Parks Improvement Fund Committee. • Scott Miller: the President of ResourCe Media, a nonprofit publiC relations firm that helps partners develop and exeCute smart CommuniCations strategies for the environment and publiC health.

Further, petitioners request that, pursuant to BMC Sec. 21. l 0.190 A, the Director waive normal submittal requirements for review of this application as such necessary information is contained in the application filed by the SBNA, rendering additional documentation duplicative.
