Subject: City of Port Townsend, ID #69000R, Jefferson County; Water System Plan
Update of 2008 Plan Three-Year Extension, ODW Project#14-0606
Dear Ian Jablonski:
The Water System Plan(WSP) update received by the Office of Drinking Water (ODW) on June
4, 2014, along with the subsequent submittal received on August 12, 2014, have been reviewed
and are APPROVED.
Approval of this WSP is valid as it relates to current standards outlined in WAC 246-290 revised
April 30, 2012, WAC 246-293 revised September 1997, and RCW 70.116 (Municipal Water
Law) effective September 2003, and is subject to the qualifications herein. Future changes in the
rules and statutes may be more stringent and require facility modification or corrective action.
Based on the information supplied in the WSP, your water system has sufficient capacity to meet
the growth projections for the identified three-year planning period. ODW is approving this plan
for three years.
An approved update of this WSP is required on or before September 4, 2017, unless ODW
requests an update or plan amendment pursuant to WAC 246-290-100(9).
APPROVED NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS
Based on the analysis presented in the WSP, the City of Port Townsend water system is
approved for 11,024 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), and for an Unspecified number of
connections. The capacity was determined based on a Maximum Day Demand (MDD) of 272
gallons per day per ERU (gpd/ERU). The limiting factor for the system is treatment capacity
(MDD) for the new filtration treatment facility.

You are responsible for permitting the addition of new service connections to your water system
in a manner consistent with the approved document. We expect you to maintain a process,
which recognizes all new connections added to the water system, and the water demands
associated with each connection. Your process must assure that physical capacity and water
right limitations are not exceeded.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONSISTENCY
John McDonagh, Senior Planner, City of Port Townsend signed the local consistency statement
on July 15, 2014. Stacie L. Hoskins, Planning Manager, Jefferson County signed the local
consistency statement on July 14, 2014. This meets local government consistency requirements
for WSP approval pursuant to RCW 90.03.386 and RCW 43.20.
WATER RESOURCES
Our approval of your water system plan does not confer or guarantee any right to a specific
quantity of water. The approved number of service connections is based on your representation
of available water quantity. If the Washington Department of Ecology, a local planning agency,
or other authority responsible for determining water rights and water system adequacy
determines that you have use of less water than you represented, the number of approved
connections may be reduced commensurate with the actual amount of water and your legal right
to use it.
Ecology has not determined this WSP is "not inconsistent" with the approved watershed plan for
WIRA 17. Please contact Ecology for more information.
We recognize the significant effort and resource commitment involved in the preparation of this
WSP. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you have any questions, please contact Corina Hayes at (360) 236-3031 or Teresa Walker at

2014 Water System Plan Update
Executive Summary
The purpose of the 2014 Water System Plan (2014 WSP) is to update the 2008 Water System
Plan (2008 WSP) for a 3-year period that will be in effect beginning September 1, 2014 through
September 1, 2017. At the end of the period, the City's water treatment plant that complies with
the USEPA's Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2) will be completed
and in operation.
The City's current plan, approved in July 2008, is comprehensive. The Washington Department
of Health (DOH) met with the City in March 2014, and specified sections that would be updated.
Other sections do not need to be updated and will remain valid for the length of approval of this
Plan. DOH and the City agreed that the update would be valid for three years to allow the City
to install filtration and evaluate the changes needed to the system once the filtration system is
online. The City has committed to meeting approximately one year prior to the expiration of this
update to discuss the scope of the next water system plan update.
The following sections describe information DOH requested that would be updated for the 2014
WSP. No updates to Sections 1.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 have been made for the 2014 WSP.
However the City developed an interim Watershed Protection Plan which will be implemented
until the water treatment plant is operational. Only portions of Section 3.0 and 4.0 have been
updated to address the information requested by DOH. Sections 2.0, 8.0, and 9.0 have been
updated in their entirety.
Basic Planning Data
DOH requested that the following basic planning data be updated: Population, service
connections, equivalent residential unit (ERU) data, large water users, monthly and annual
production and consumption, annual water use by customer class, and annual water use for
wholesale or other systems.
Section 2.0 has been updated to include the above information. The following describes the
location of the updated information.
• Population and Service Connections (Section 2.1.1) —The population of the City and
adjacent service areas has grown from 9,716 (2008) to 9,936 (2013). The total number
of service connections has grown from 4,533 (2008) to 4,684 (2013).
• ERU data (Section 2.1.2 and Table 2-7) —The ERU value calculated from the average
single family residential water usage between 2009 and 2013 is 130 gallons per day
(gpd)/ERU.
• Large Water Users (Appendix A) —The average annual consumption of the 25 largest
users in the City's water system totaled 0.141 million gallons per day (mgd) in 2013
which is approximately 16% of the total consumption in the system.
• Monthly and Annual Production and Consumption (Section 2.1.2 and Table 2-3, Table
2-4, Table 2-5, Figure 2-1, and Figure 2-2) —The average day demand (ADD) averaged
from 2009 to 2013 is 0.936 mgd. The maximum day demand MDD/ADD peaking factor
is calculated to be 2.1, and the peak hour demand PHD/MDD is calculated to be 1.18.
• Annual Water Use by Customer Class (Section 2.1.2 and Table 2-5 and Table 2-6) —
The Residential customer class has the largest consumption averaging 69% of the total
consumption in the City. The Commercial, Government, and Irrigation customer classes
consume an average of 18%, 6%, and 6% respectively of the total consumption within
the City.
City of Port Townsend 1 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
The average distribution system leakage over the last three years (2011 — 2013) is 7%
of the total supply record at the City's master meters.
• Annual Water Use for Wholesale Users (Appendix B) —There are two wholesale users
supplied by the transmission system: The Port Townsend Paper Company and
Jefferson County Public Utility District (LUD No 1). The water usage at the Port
Townsend Paper Company averaged 14.7 million gallons per day from 2009 to 2013.
The water usage for the Jefferson County PUD averaged 0.35 million gallons per day
from 2009 to 2013.
System Analysis
DOH requested that a system carrying capacity analysis be provided that identifies the limiting
factors for the system and associates them with equivalent ERU's (a table similar to Worksheet
6-1 of DOH Water System Design Manual). DOH has requested a summary of hydraulic
capacity results which describe any areas which do not meet minimum pressure requirements.
Section 3.0 has been updated to include the above information. The following describes the
location of the updated information.
• Carrying Capacity Analysis (Section 3.3 and Table 3-6) —Supply and storage evaluation
supporting the carrying capacity analysis is contained within Section 3.1 and 3.2.
Currently, standby storage is the limiting capacity with an ERU capacity of 15,503. By
2016, the treatment plant scheduled to be operating will be the limiting capacity in the
system with a carrying capacity of 11,024 ERUs.
• Summary of Hydraulic Capacity Results (Section 3.4 and Appendix C) — Modeling
analysis conducted during the 2008 WSP identified areas of pressure and fire flow
deficiencies along with recommended improvements to address those deficiencies. The
analysis is still valid for the City's distribution system and the summary of results is
provided in the sections mentioned above.
Capital Improvement Plan
DOH requested that the City provide an updated capital improvement plan (CIP) for at least the
next 3 years.
Section 8.0 of the 2008 WSP has been updated with a CIP for the years 2014 through 2017.
The major capital projects scheduled between 2014 and 2017 are the water treatment plant and
the 5-MG Reservoir replacement and finished water booster pumping station. Other capital
projects include general fire flow and distribution system improvements, 1-MG Standpipe
painting, Big Quilcene diversion repairs, the Andrews Creek pipeline crossing repair, and water
system plan revisions.
Financial Analysis
DOH requested that a budget analysis be provided for the period of 2014 through 2017
identifying any reserves the City has and how the financial situation will be impacted by the
projects identified in the CIP. DOH also requested a summary of the current rate structure with
a discussion of any potential changes to the rates because of the CIP.
Section 9.0 has been updated to include the above information. The following describes the
location of the updated information.
• Balanced Budget and Fiscal Impact of Improvement Program (Section 9.4 and
Table 9-6)
City of Port Townsend 2 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H]�
• Current Rate Structure— (Sections 9.2 and 9.3 and Table 9-4) —The City has adopted
annual rate increases of 6% in 2014, 3% in 2015, 3% in 2016, and 2% in 2017.
Water Rights Self Assessment, Local Government Consistency,
and SEPA
DOH requested that the City provide an updated Water Rights Self Assessment for review by
the Department of Ecology (DOE), local government consistency checklists signed by both the
City and County, and a signed State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist and
determination.
Section 4.0 has been updated to include the Water Rights Self Assessment. The signed local
government consistency checklists and SEPA checklists are included in Appendix D and G.
City of Port Townsend 3 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
1.0 Description of the Water System
This section has not been revised for the 2014 WSP.
2.0 Basic Planning Data and Water Demand Forecasting
This section defines the planning data, future land use, and future water demands for the City of
Port Townsend. Planning data and water use forecasts are used for system planning purposes
to assess the capability of the system to meet near-term and long-term demands. As
developing additional sources of water supply typically takes a long time, it is common to project
needs 20 years into the future. Water use forecasts are important for determining infrastructure
needs such as transmission, storage, treatment, and distribution facilities.
2.1 Current and Past Conditions
Data readily available for providing historical and current water use information is presented in
this section. This data includes information on population served, number of service
connections, water consumption (as measured by individual service meters), and demand (as
measured by master meters).
2.1.1 Population and Service Connections
Past growth trends are important in predicting future growth. Growth estimates for the City of
Port Townsend were developed in consideration of historical trends. Current and past
population and water service connection estimates for 2000 through 2013 are presented in
Table 2-1 and Table 2-2, respectively.
City Service Area
The population data presented herein for 2000 and 2010 are based on U.S. Census data while
the years between are estimates from the Washington State Office of Financial Management.
City billing record information was used to identify the type and number of service connections
within the city limits. The City's utility billing system was changed in 2003 which, due to
differences in service meter accounting, required an interpolation of the number of service
connections between 1995 and 2002 to determine the Year 2000 and 2001 connections.
Adjacent Service Areas
No historical population data exists for the out of town service area. Population for this area
was estimated based on the number of service connections multiplied by the estimated
persons-per-household figure in the City of Port Townsend (approximately 2.34). The City of
Port Townsend's out of town service area expanded in 2002 with the acquisition of the Glen
Cove service area from the Jefferson County PUD.

2014 Water System Plan Update
H0�
Service connection data for the adjacent service areas (West-of-City and Glen Cove) was
unavailable from 1995 to 2002. Therefore data was interpolated between 1994 and 2003 and
these relative percentages were then used to determine estimated service connection totals and
subtotals in 2000, 2001, and 2002.
2.1.2 Water Use
The term demand refers to total water supplied, as measured by the City's master meters.
Demand differs from consumption in that consumption refers only to the quantity of water
actually purchased by customers. The difference in quantity between demand and consumption
is referred to as "non-revenue water."
Demand
Current and past demand is presented in Table 2-3. Figure 2-1 depicts the monthly variation in
demand. The data presented in Table 2-3 and Figure 2-1 is based on the City's master meter
readings. It is presented in million gallons per day (mgd) and represents the annual and
monthly average daily demand for the service area. The master meter total is based on two
separate meters used to measure flow into the standpipe and 5 million gallon reservoir.
Analysis of data since 1998 indicated the master meter volume was lower than the customer
meter consumption. As a result, the City performed a series of volume tests for both the 1-MG
Standpipe and 5-MG Reservoir meters to determine the meter accuracies. Volume tests were
performed over a range of flows that are typical of the City's actual operations. The testing
concluded that both meters were undercounting the actual flow passing through the meters.
Correction factors for both meters were developed and have been applied to the meter readings
presented in this Plan. Additional historical demand and consumption information is presented
in Appendix B.
Current or "Base Year" average water demand was estimated by averaging data from 2009
through 2013. These averages were computed for the purpose of establishing baseline values
for projecting future growth in demand while minimizing the impact of typical annual variations.
The Base Year averages are assumed to represent 2013 demand.
Demand is characterized in this Plan as average day demand (ADD), maximum day demand
(MDD), and peak hourly demand (PHD). These variations are necessary for effective water
system planning and infrastructure sizing. ADD represents the average water conveyed to the
distribution system throughout the year, including non-revenue uses, and is used to estimate the
total annual amount of supply needed. MDD represents the day of the year during which the
maximum amount of water is conveyed to the system. Supply, pumping, and treatment facilities
are typically designed with a capacity equal to the projected future MDD. PHD represents the
maximum amount of water supplied during a 1-hour period during the day when the MDD
occurs. PHD is used for sizing distribution system piping and distribution system reservoir
storage. More specifically, distribution system storage reservoir capacity is typically developed
based on a combination of ADD, MDD, and PHD, and their relative differences. ADD, MDD,
and PHD are summarized in Table 2-4.
City of Port Townsend 6 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H0�
Both MDD and PHD data are available from master meter SCADA system readings which are
used as the values for this Plan. Five years of data were averaged to determine an overall
ADD, MDD and PHD for the system for the Base Year. Averaging the data for past five years
was used in order to account for any peak years that would not be representative of a normal
year.
The ratios of MDD/ADD and PHD/MDD are often referred to as "demand ratios" or "peaking
factors" and are computed for the purpose of characterizing demand in a given water system.
The demand ratios determined from the Base Year ADD, MDD, and PHD data are:
MDD/ADD = 2.1
PHD/MDD = 1.18
Consumption
Consumption for customers is measured at individual service meters. Customers are billed for
water service every month. Current and past consumption along with per-capita consumption is
presented in Table 2-5. Figure 2-2 depicts the monthly variation of consumption within the
City's service area. Understanding per-capita water usage is important in identifying water use
trends as well as how City water customers' usage compares with customers of other water
utilities. Per-capita consumption was computed by dividing residential consumption by
population.
Appendix B includes a summary of the largest 25 water users and their monthly water usage
recorded during the 2013 billing record.
Non-Revenue Water
Non-revenue water is the difference between the volume of water entering the distribution
system as measured by the supply meters (demand) and the volume actually measured and
billed to customers (consumption). It includes the following types of uses:
• Leakage from distribution system pipelines, reservoirs, valves, and hydrants;
• Water used for street cleaning, firefighting, sewer and water main flushing, reservoir
cleaning and other unmetered public uses; and
• Master meter and/or service metering inaccuracies.
Distribution system leakage is calculated by subtracting metered and other estimated water use
from master meter demand. A calculation is presented in Table 2-6. The average distribution
system leakage is approximately 7 percent of the total quantity of water passing through the
City's master meter from 2011 to 2013.

Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs)
An "equivalent residential unit" (ERU) is a unit of measure used to equate non-residential or
multi-family residential water use to a specific number of single family residences. For example,
if a system has a capacity to serve 100 ERUs, it has a capacity to serve 100 full-time single
family residences. Similarly, it would be able to serve any combination of commercial,
industrial, and residential customers provided that the quantity of water used is equivalent to the
projected needs of 100 full-time single family homes (or 100 ERUs).
The consumption per single-family residence is first determined by dividing the total single-
family consumption by the number of single-family connections. Then the number of ERUs is
computed for each customer category by dividing consumption per customer class by
consumption per single-family residence. ERUs are a measure of system capacity in units of
single-family residences. The calculated ERU value is 130 gpd/ERU.
Average day consumption data was used to develop the ERU data for residential and non-
residential uses. The data was based on an average of 2009 to 2013 consumption to account
for any peak years that would not be representative of a normal year. The current capacity of
the City's water system, based on ERUs, is presented in Table 2-7. The ERU information is
comprised of customers in the City and adjacent to the City. The conversion of non-revenue
water to ERUs includes the meter correction factors for the Base Year ADD.

2.2 Estimated Future Conditions
Estimated future population and land and water use are presented in this section. The
estimated future conditions are important for planning purposes for the City to meet their long-
term demands.
2.2.1 Land Use
Current land use for the City consists of a mixture of residential, mixed use, commercial,
industrial, public facilities, parks, and open space.
The City's historical land use pattern was established during the 1800s. During this period,
plats were created with almost no regard to the topography or other natural physical limitations
of the land. The result of this platting activity is a largely uniform series of approximately 11,100
parcels, typified by the 50-foot by 100-foot lot.
No changes in current land usage that would significantly impact estimated future water demand
is predicted.
2.2.2 Population and Demand
Population and demand are presented together in this section because of their inter-relationship
in estimating future demand. Estimated future population and demand for the 6-year and 20-
year planning horizons are presented in Table 2-8 and Figure 2-3.

Notes:
1. Population presented in this table is for the entire Port Townsend water system service area which
includes the portion of the service area outside the City.
2. City of Port Townsend has a contractual obligation to supply a maximum of 0.28 mgd to Jefferson PUD for
LUD No.3. Water is supplied from the OGWS at Four Corners and does not utilize in-town distribution
storage reservoirs.
PUD plans to switch LUD No.3 to its ground water system by the end of 2016.
3. ADD in the above table in acre-feet/year for Base Year,2019,and 2033 is 1,049,1,125,and 1,293,
respectively.
Projections for the Base Year (2013), 6-year (2019) and 20-year (2033) forecasts are based on
the Office of Financial Management's 2012 Growth Management Population Projection medium
growth rate of 1.01% compounded annually for Jefferson County. It is estimated between 2013
and 2033 Port Townsend will grow by 2,208, a 22% overall increase in population.
City of Port Townsend 13 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H]�
Water demand forecasts for the City service areas were developed using the Base Year
demand which was the average of 2009-2013. The projected ADDs, MDDs, and PHDs for the
City were escalated at the same rate as the projected population estimates, which is 1.01%
compounded annually.
An additional demand is added to the water demand forecast to account for a new potable water
connection to the Port Townsend Paper Corporation. Before the treatment plant is on line the
Port Townsend Paper Corporation will connect to the City's distribution system for potable water
requirements. This connection will provide water for approximately 300 individuals working at
the mill. Demand is estimated to be 35 gpd per employee based on a "Factory" type water
usage in Table 5-2 of the Water System Design Manual (DOH 2009). The demands are
included in the 2019 and 2033 projections.
Estimated future demand is presented in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3. Projected Demand
Of particular interest with respect to the demand data presented in Table 2-8 and Figure 2-3 is
the projected MDD. To meet customer needs, supply capacity must be equal to or greater than
MDD. Demand in excess of MDD, such as PHD, is typically met by distribution system storage
capacity. To meet estimated future demand the City must have supply capacity equal to or
greater than the projected MDD. The year 2033 projected MDD is approximately 2.4 mgd.

3.0 System Analysis
3.1 Supply Evaluation
The City's system is supplied by unfiltered surface water from both the Big Quilcene and Little
Quilcene Rivers. Water from the Big Quilcene River, approximately 30 miles south of the City,
is transported by the Olympic Gravity Water System Pipeline (OGWS) pipeline to the City. The
Little Quilcene River supply ties into the OGWS downstream of Lords Lake.
The City is bound by a lease agreement with the Port Townsend Paper Company that restricts
the City's water usage to 5 mgd and allows the Mill to use all of the water supply flowing through
the transmission system not expressly reserved for City use or obligations through the year
2020.
Out of that 5 mgd, the City is contractually obligated to supply up to 0.28 mgd to Jefferson
County (Jefferson PUD) to meet the supply needs of LUD No. 3 until 2015. The resulting supply
available for the City's municipal uses is 4.72 mgd. The PUD's daily contract quantity may be
reduced or cancelled with four years of advanced notice to serve new residential, commercial or
industrial customers within the City that cannot be met from the uncommitted City allocation
from the OGWS. Port Townsend's new water treatment plant will be constructed down steam of
Four Corners and will not be able to provide treated water via this connection to LUD No. 3.
The PUD intends to connect LUD No. 3 to the Quimper ground water system by 2016, which will
free up the 0.28 mgd for City use.
The City plans to construct a water treatment plant which will be completed by 2016. Once
completed, the available supply to the City's distribution system will be 3.0 mgd which is the
planned treatment plant capacity.
Table 3-1 provides an evaluation of existing and future supply capacity to meet the projected
demands from Table 2-8. As shown in the table below, the City has adequate water rights and
capacity to meet current and future peak flows.

3.2 Storage Evaluation
This section evaluates the City's storage facilities, requirements, and needs. Water storage
directly serving the distribution grid is a critical element of a water system, particularly with
respect to enhancing the reliability of meeting customer demand during a variety of demand
conditions. Distribution system storage enables periodic peak customer demands to be met,
provides water to fight fires, and maintains a portion of the storage volume as standby storage
for emergencies.
Providing ample storage makes it possible to avoid over-sizing supply facilities such as pump
stations, supply pipelines, and treatment facilities, to meet periodic peak customer demands.
With adequate storage, supply facilities can be sized based on reduced demand criteria, such
as the anticipated MDD. In turn, reservoir storage supplies the flow to meet demand in excess
of the MDD.
3.2.1 Existing Storage Reservoirs
The City maintains and operates two storage reservoirs to meet fluctuations in daily demand
within the distribution system. A description of these reservoirs is presented in this section and
a summary of reservoir data is presented in Table 3-2.
City of Port Townsend 16 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
01
Table 3-2. Existing Storage Reservoirs
Name Capacity Overflow Normal High Reservoir Year Built
(MG) Elevation Water Dimensions
(feet) Elevation (height x diameter
(feet) in feet)
1-MG Standpipe 1 375 373 84 x 47 1995
5-MG Reservoir 5 328 326 38 x 155 1979
Two distinct pressure zones are served from these reservoirs, the "High Zone" and the "Low
Zone." Before 1998, the City was served from a single pressure zone (the Low Zone). Service
pressures ranged from above 130 psi near the shoreline of Puget Sound to less than 20 psi at
the higher elevations within the service area. To increase system pressures, the City installed a
new, taller storage tank to provide higher service pressures to areas of the City with higher
elevations. With the extension of the new 24-inch diameter pipeline to the 1-MG Standpipe
completed in 1998, the initial phase of the High Zone was created. The High Zone serves areas
generally above 210 feet elevation, resulting in a High Zone pressure range of approximately 35
psi to 70 psi. The City expanded the extent of the High Zone to adjacent northwest areas of
similarly higher elevations in 2004 to ensure service pressures in that area were maintained
above the DOH minimum criterion of 30 psi. The revised Low Zone pressure range now is from
about 50 psi to above 130 psi.
The High Zone extends beyond the City limits to the west and south. Both reservoirs are
located at the intersection of 20th Street and the northern extension of Spring Street.
5-MG Reservoir
The 5-MG Reservoir was constructed and placed into service in 1979. At the time that it was
constructed, the 5-MG Reservoir served the entire City service area. However, once the High
Zone was developed, the 5-MG Reservoir then served the remainder of the City not included in
the High Zone (referred to hereafter as the "Low Zone"). The 5-MG Reservoir has an overflow
elevation of 328 feet and a typical high-water elevation of approximately 326 feet.
Polypropylene baffles were installed in the 5-MG Reservoir in 1995 and the outlet and inlet to
the reservoir were revised as part of the City's plan to meet the disinfectant contact
requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR). The baffles consist of two floor-to-
ceiling curtains that force the water to circulate through the reservoir in an indirect manner, thus
increasing the time the water spends within the reservoir. Water enters the reservoir from an
inlet diffuser at one side of the reservoir, and exits through an outlet diffuser at the other side of
the reservoir.
1-MG Standpipe
In 1995 the City completed construction of a 1-MG steel standpipe designed to boost system
pressure in areas of the City at higher elevations. A standpipe is defined as a storage reservoir
with its height greater than its diameter. Thus, the 1-MG Standpipe is a "tall" water storage
reservoir. The 1-MG Standpipe has an overflow elevation of 375 feet with a corresponding
capacity of roughly 1 MG. With the completion of the water treatment plant, the standpipe will
operate at a minimum hydraulic gradient of 370 feet.
Four floor-to-ceiling polypropylene baffle curtains were installed in the 1-MG Standpipe to meet
disinfectant contact time requirements.
City of Port Townsend 17 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
Morgan Hill Booster Station
A booster station is located adjacent to the High School and a 2,000 gallon storage tank on top
of Morgan Hill to maintain distribution system pressure for Morgan Hill, a high elevation zone
within the 5-MG Reservoir service area.
3.2.2 Storage Requirements
In assessing distribution system storage needs, several components must be considered.
Water storage comprises five distinct components:
• Operational storage
• Equalizing storage
• Fire suppression storage
• Standby storage
• Dead storage (if any)
Effective storage volume is comprised of operational, equalizing, fire suppression, and standby
storage elements. "Dead" storage is that volume component of a reservoir that is not effective,
because it is too low to be withdrawn to meet system needs while maintaining required system
pressure.
The reservoir storage volume requirements presented herein were developed based on the
criteria established in the DOH Water System Design Manual. Equalizing and standby storage
requirements are based on the demands of the system served directly by the storage
reservoir(s).
A summary of the system demands used for estimating storage requirements is presented in
Table 3-3. The combined totals of the Low and High Zone components of these demands are
the same as those presented in Table 2-8. The relative split between the two zones has varied
between 13-27 percent for the High Zone and 87-73 percent for the Low Zone since the
northwest side of the service area was connected to the High Zone in 2004 (Table 2-3).
Between 2009 to 2013, the relative split averaged 15 percent for the High Zone and 85 percent
for the Low Zone. Those percentages are used to estimate future demand in Table 3-3

Operational Storage
Operational storage is the volume within a storage reservoir or multiple storage reservoirs
between the normal high and low water levels. Operational storage is important when the mode
of filling the reservoir(s) is considered. If storage reservoirs are filled by pumping, it is important
to have adequate operational storage to avoid excessive pump starts and stops. If storage
reservoirs are filled by gravity with an altitude or other type of modulating control valve, it is
often possible to avoid providing storage dedicated specifically as operational because pump
on/off cycles are not applicable.
Operational storage is the difference between the overflow elevation and the normal high water
elevation shown in Table 3-2. With the completion of the water treatment plant, the normal high
water level will be decreased from 373 feet to 370 feet.
Equalizing Storage
Equalizing storage volume is the volume needed to meet variations in diurnal system demand
that exceed the capacity of the supply system. Supply facilities are typically sized with a
capacity equal to the anticipated MDD. Thus, system demand in excess of MDD must be
provided from the equalizing volume of the reservoir(s). The required equalizing storage, in
gallons, is computed as:
Required Equalizing Volume = (PHD - Supply Capacity) x 150 minutes
Where:
PHD = peak hour demand for the system (gpm)
Supply Capacity = the combined capacity of all applicable supply sources (gpm)

right of 19 mgd of which 5 mgd is reserved contractually for City use which also supplies 0.28
mgd to LUD No. 3. The remainder may be utilized by Port Townsend Paper Company. There
is sufficient hydraulic capacity in the supply lines to convey this 5 mgd flow to the City's storage
reservoirs. The planned capacity of the water treatment plant, which will be online by 2016, is
3.0 mgd. For the base year (2013), 4.72 mgd is used as the supply capacity in the formula
above, but for planning years 2019 and 2033, 3.0 mgd is the supply capacity used in the
formula. In either case, the formula results in a requirement for zero equalizing storage
because the supply capacity is greater than the current or projected PHD through 2033.
Fire Storage
Because a fire can occur at any time during the day, fire storage must be provided in addition to
operational and equalizing storage. The volume of fire storage within the reservoir must be
provided at or above an elevation that ensures a minimum pressure of 20 psi to all customers
during simultaneous occurrence of a fire and the MDD.
Required fire flow volume is computed by multiplying the required fire flow, as established by
the County Fire Marshal, by the required time duration. For example a 1,000-gpm fire flow
would be multiplied by 1 hour, a 2,000-gpm fire flow would be multiplied by 2 hours, and a 3,500
gpm fire flow would be multiplied by 3.5 hours (typically 1 hour per 1,000 gpm).
The required fire storage volumes for the two City pressure zones are as follows:
• Low Zone: 4,500 gpm x 4.5 hours = 1.22 MG
• High Zone: 3,500 gpm x 3.5 hours = 0.74 MG
A water system may exclude the standby or fire storage components, whichever is smaller, from
the system's total storage requirements if such a practice is not prohibited by the local
Coordinated Water System Plan, local ordinance, or the local fire marshal. Because the City is
not prohibited from nesting its required standby and fire storage volume, the greater of the
standby or fire storage is included within the required reservoir storage volume computations for
the City's system.
Standby Storage
Standby storage volume supplies reasonable system demands during a system emergency,
such as the disruption of the water supply. Such disruptions could be caused by transmission
pipeline or equipment failure, power outage, valve failure, or other system interruption. Other
major system emergencies, such as those created by an earthquake, are covered under
emergency system operations planning, and are not accounted for by standby storage. The
DOH Water System Design Manual recommends that standby storage for systems served by a
single source be computed as twice the ADD for the design year to be available to all service
connections at 20 psi.
SBTSS = (2 days)(ADD)
Where:
SBTSS = Total standby storage component for a single source system (gallons)
ADD = Average day demand for the design year (gpd)

In recognition that most of the demand in the City of Port Townsend is from residential
customers, the formula for computing the standby storage volumes was simplified to be two
times ADD and did not incorporate the conversion to ERUs. All of the standby storage
contained in the 5-MG Reservoir (serving the Low Zone) is at an elevation that provides more
than 20 psi. Due to the service elevations in the High Zone, only a portion of the standpipe
volume is greater than 20 psi (above roughly elevation 340 feet). The lowest 45 feet of the 85-
foot-tall Standpipe contains water that can be delivered at service pressures less than 20 psi.
3.2.3 Storage Evaluation
Table 3-4 and Table 3-5 provide the storage evaluation for the Low Zone and for the High Zone.
In the Low Zone, there is a storage surplus of 2.72 MG in 2033. The 5-MG Reservoir can
provide storage for a maximum 14,148 ERUs.
In the High Zone, there is storage deficiency of 0.38 MG. This is a result of the fire flow storage
requirement (0.74 MG) that must be provided at a minimum pressure of 20 psi. Only 0.41 MG is
available in the 1-MG Standpipe at a service pressure greater than 20 psi. While there is a
deficiency, the storage volume is sufficient to provide a maximum of approximately 50% of the
fire storage volume.
The City is planning to construct a pump station to provide fire flow to the High Zone in order to
mitigate the fire storage deficiency. The pump station capacity would be sized to provide a
minimum of 1,850 gpm to supplement the available fire storage.

3.2.4 Storage Deficiencies
From an overall storage volume standpoint, as presented in Table 3-4, the City has adequate
storage in the High and Low Zones as well as the combined system. However, the fire storage
requirement for the High Zone in Table 3-5 shows the existing 1-MG available capacity in the
Standpipe does not maintain a minimum 20 psi distribution system pressure during fire flow
conditions. A planned pump station described in Section 3.2.3 mitigates the fire storage
deficiency by transferring excess fire storage, as well as standby storage, from the 5-MG
Reservoir to the 1-MG Standpipe. As a result, no additional storage volume is anticipated to be
required within the 20-year planning horizon.
Besides addressing storage volume requirements, the City is intent on maintaining the good
condition of each of its two storage reservoirs. Doing so involves periodic re-painting of the
1-MG Standpipe as well as inspecting the condition of the 5-MG Reservoir. The 1-MG
Standpipe was completed in 1995 so it's projected re-painting (inside and outside) timeframe is
2016. Re-painting costs presented in Section 8.0 are based on simply pressure washing and
top-coating the exterior. The interior will need to be sandblasted after removal of the curtain
baffles.
The City's 5-MG Reservoir is 35 years old and is reaching the end of its service life. A
replacement tank is being designed and expected to be constructed by 2016.
In summary, the two storage-related improvements and activities (identified by their "Project
Identification Number" to facilitate cross-referencing between with Table 8-1 and Figure 3-6 in
Appendix C) planned include:
• S-1: New 5-MG replacement reservoir and pump station to lift water from the 5-MG
Reservoir to the 1-MG Standpipe to provide fire storage to the High Zone.
• S-2: Re-Paint the 1-MG Standpipe.

3.3 Carrying Capacity Analysis
A key element of this WSP is the evaluation of the capacities of various water system elements
and their abilities to support current and projected future water supply needs. Resulting from
these evaluations are "carrying capacities," or the maximum number of equivalent residential
units (ERUs) that existing facilities can support. Such analyses aid in identifying capacity
deficiencies and provide the foundation for some capital improvement projects.
Table 3-6 summarizes the carrying capacities associated with the City's primary water system
components. This summary is formatted consistent with "Worksheet 6-1" of the DOH Water
System Design Manual (December 2009).
Currently, standby storage is the limiting water system component with an ERU capacity of
15,503. By 2016 when the water treatment plan is operating, the water treatment plant capacity
will be the limiting component with an ERU capacity 11,024.
By comparing this carrying capacity with the demand forecast presented in Table 2-8, the
existing facilities are able to support current demands and needs projected through the twenty-
year planning horizon.
Carrying capacity analyses have not been conducted for the City's distribution facilities, for the
following reasons:
• It is difficult to characterize ERU carrying capacities in terms of piping, etc.
• Water mains are typically designed to convey fire flows.
• In the case of the City means that they are also more than adequate to support the
average and maximum day demands imposed by customers.
Some deficiencies have been identified throughout the system regarding the capability of certain
sections of distribution piping to convey required fire flows at minimum pressures as noted in
Section 3.4.2. Such deficiencies, however, are not a function of the amount of current or
proposed ERUs, and therefore do not factor into a carrying capacity analysis. The City has
scheduled improvements to address noted storage system deficiencies, as described in
Section 8.0. Water distribution system deficiencies will be reevaluated in three years after
construction of the water treatment plant, reservoir replacement and low to high zone pumping
station.

3.4 Distribution System Evaluation
The hydraulic modeling evaluation conducted during the 2008 WSP continues to be used as the
current distribution system evaluation. Information in the following sections is shown to provide
a summary of hydraulic capacity results which describe areas which do not meet minimum
pressure requirements. Figures 3-1 through 3-7 from the 2008 WSP are provided in Appendix
C for reference in the following section.
3.4.1 Summary of System Deficiencies
The hydraulic model was used to assess the capacity of the distribution system, identify
deficiencies, and develop improvements to mitigate deficiencies. Modeling runs and
deficiencies are summarized in this section. Modeling run results are presented below for
normal operating conditions, without fire flows, as well as for fire flow conditions. Improvements
developed to mitigate the identified deficiencies are summarized in Section 3.4.2.
Peak Hour Pressure Deficiencies
Modeling of normal operating conditions was undertaken, based on the existing distribution
system configuration (no expansion of the High Zone), under current PHD conditions as well as
future PHD conditions. The purpose of using both current and future PHD conditions was to
identify locations where system deficiencies of low service pressures might be anticipated —
even if no such deficiencies currently exist.
Current Conditions: There are currently no service pressures less than 30 psi, except at the
outlet line from the 5-MG storage reservoir, where there are no service connections. See
Figure 3-2 in Appendix C.
Future Conditions: Service pressures slightly below 30 psi (still greater than 25 psi) may
occur in an area planned for future inclusion in the High Zone. Extending the High Zone would
correct this future deficiency.
Identification of these anticipated (assuming anticipated growth continues) deficiencies
(including the two near-deficiencies) in normal operating pressure is important because DOH is
particularly sensitive to ensuring that the 30 psi minimum service pressure requirement be
maintained. While it is important to note that these deficiencies do not currently exist and do not
require mitigation, their identification plays a role in prioritizing of distribution system
improvements related to fire flow deficiencies (discussed in the following section) as well as
condition degradation (including the replacement of asbestos cement [AC] pipe). Improvements
that correct moderate to severe fire flow deficiencies along with potential future normal
operating pressure deficiencies warrant consideration for receiving higher priority.
Fire Flow Deficiencies
The existing distribution system was also modeled under future MDD conditions and simulated
fire flow demand to identify available fire flow throughout the system while maintaining the DOH
minimum service pressure requirement of 20 psi. Modeling simulated fire flow conditions is
required by DOH during MDD conditions. Because each individual simulated fire flow demand
far exceeds the background MDD, the use of current or future MDD in the model has relatively
little impact. Future MDD was used instead of current as an element of conservatism as well as
a recognition that many of the improvements to mitigate the identified deficiencies would be
deferred to the longer-term future because of cost and availability of funds.

The geographic distribution of available fire flow throughout the distribution system, as identified
by the hydraulic model, is presented in Figure 3-4 in Appendix C. The figure reflects the
available flow from single hydrants throughout the system and does not reflect flow from
multiple hydrants.
Simulation shows that the far northwest portion of the distribution system and the extreme south
end (south end of Glen Cove) are substantially deficient with respect to available fire flow.
These same areas were near the 30 psi minimum pressure under projected future PHD
conditions. Also, similar to the anticipated deficiencies under future normal operating conditions
discussed above, the area of the planned expansion of the future High Zone also has limited fire
flow capacity. Other locations of below 1,000 gpm and below 500 gpm are also identified.
Many of these locations are fed by small-diameter or dead-end mains.
In addition to the fire flow modeling run undertaken to produce fire flow results. Fire flow
simulations were undertaken at several specific key locations for which fire flow requirements
were established by the Fire Chief. Distribution system improvements for fire flow capacity
enhancement were developed based on meeting the required fire flows at these locations.
These fire flow locations are shown Table 3-7 along with the required flow, current available
flow, and flow available after incorporating distribution system improvements (described in
Section 3.4.2) into the model.

3.4.2 Description of Distribution System Improvements
The distribution system piping improvements were developed to mitigate deficiencies identified
in Section 3.4.1. These improvements would be implemented as part of the CIP General Fire
Flow and Distribution System Improvements listed in Table 8-1. The project identification
numbers provided below can be used to reference between Table 3-7 and Figure 3-6 in
Appendix C. These projects would be implemented as funding allows.
Note that the pipeline alignments shown in Figure 3-6 in Appendix C can be considered as
approximate alignments - reflecting the pipeline size necessary as well as the general area to
be served. Development and street improvements should be considered when scheduling and
implementing these pipeline improvements because in most cases alternative routes for the
pipeline improvements are possible.
Northwest Improvements: D-1
The Northwest Improvements listed under improvement D-1 include a section of 12-inch pipe
along Hastings to Cook Avenue Extension. The 12-inch pipe improvement continues north on
Cook Avenue Extension to Elmira, and then along Elmira to Sutter Street, for a combined total
of 5,680 feet. This improvement replaces an existing 6-inch line and improves fire flow in the
northwest area. This substantially improves normal operating pressures during PHD, which is
anticipated to drop to near, albeit still above, 30 psi based on the 20-year growth projection.
Glen Cove: D-2
The Glen Cove improvement provides an additional source of supply to Glen Cove, which
improves system redundancy and system circulation, and is necessary to alleviate the fire flow
deficiencies in the south and west Glen Cove area. This improvement also helps to maximize
system pressures that are projected to decline to near 30 psi under PHD conditions in the next
20 years. The Glen Cove improvement is comprised of 3,730 feet of 16-inch pipeline
connecting to the existing 16-inch pipeline on the distribution system side of the old City Valve
Shack just north of the southern City limit (at the south extension of Howard Street), extending
southwest along the existing OGWS pipeline corridor to its intersection with 8t" Street,
continuing south along 8t" Street to Glen Cove, and extending west along Glen Cove to north
Otto Street.
Northern High-Low Zone Connection: D-3
The Northern High-Low Zone Connection is an 8-inch diameter pipeline of approximately 1,710
feet with a PRV between the High and Low Zones at the northern edge of the City near Peary
Avenue north of Cook Avenue. This connection enables flow from the High Zone to supplement
fire flow from the Low Zone to existing and proposed development in this far northeast area of
the Low Zone. Developers would be expected to cover the cost of improvements to the
distribution system to substantially improve fire flows. Those improvements would include this
D-3 project as well as all or a portion of the D-1 project.
Western Extension, Section 1: D-4
The Western Extension improvement consists of 3,730 feet of 12-inch pipeline from the north
end of the existing 12-inch diameter pipeline in Ivy Street (near the storage tank site) to South
Jacob Miller Road and connects to the existing 8-inch line in South Jacob Miller Road. This
improvement provides a redundant supply to the northwest portion of the City, improves fire flow
to the northwest area, and if undertaken first, reduces the need for fire flow improvements along
North Jacob Miller Road.
City of Port Townsend 30 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
Western Extension, Section 2: D-5
The second section of the Western Extension continues the proposed D-4 improvement south
along South Jacob Miller Road, approximately 6,000 linear feet, to the existing 8-inch pipeline
near Lupine Street. This portion of the Western Extension provides an additional supply to the
Glen Cove area, enhances fire flow to the Glen Cove area, and should be considered as
development occurs along South Jacob Miller Road as well as in Glen Cove.
High Zone Expansion: D-6
A 2,370 foot long, 12-inch diameter pipeline between 20th Street and Hastings Avenue is
needed to connect the planned expanded area of the High Zone to the existing High Zone with
adequate capacity to convey fire flows to this area. Additional pipeline improvements will be
necessary within the expansion area to ensure adequate capacity throughout the expanded
High Zone.
Expanded High Zone: D-7
The improvements for the expanded High Zone provide looping in this area to meet minimum
pressure requirements and also increase fire flow capacity within the expanded High Zone. The
improvements include installation of a combined total of 10,170 linear feet of 8-inch pipelines
along 35th and 36th streets, Corona Avenue, Sheridan Street, 29th Street, and Thomas Street.
This area is currently served by 4-inch and 6-inch diameter pipelines.
Low Zone Transmission/High School Fire Flow: D-8
The Low Zone Transmission/High School Fire Flow improvement is a combination of
improvements needed to enhance fire flow capacity to the high school. Installation of this
substantial additional hydraulic capacity will also improve fire flow capacity to the eastern end of
the City. The Low Zone transmission portion is a new 3,610 foot long, 20-inch diameter pipeline
connected to the existing 16-inch pipeline in Sheridan Street from the 5 MG storage reservoir.
This portion of the improvement is strictly for transmission purposes and would not have any
service connections. The other portions of this improvement include: a 16-inch pipeline along
25th and 24th Streets from Sheridan to San Juan Avenue, as well as 16-inch diameter pipelines
along Willow Street and Cass Street from F Street to Blaine Street and along Blaine Street from
Benton Street to Kearney Street. The total length of 16-inch diameter pipeline is 7,170 feet.
Sims Commercial Fire Flow: D-9
The Sims Commercial Fire Flow improvement consists of two sections of 16-inch pipeline from
the existing 16-inch pipeline in 91h Street southward to Sims Way. These two sections of 16-
inch pipeline total 2,060 feet and improve fire flow within the High Zone to the commercial
district along Sims Way. An alternative to this improvement would, in part, be to extend a 16-
inch diameter pipeline along Sims Way between the existing 16-inch diameter pipeline to the
west and the existing 6-inch pipeline in Hancock Street. Implementation of this improvement
should be based on development as well as street improvements.
In conjunction with Sims Way road improvements in 2009/2010, a section of 6" AC pipe
between Howard and Cliff Streets on Sims Way was replaced with 8" DI; the 4" AC pipeline
between Thomas and Logan Streets on 4th Street was replaced with 8" and 12" DI; and an 8"DI
pipe was added along Logan St. between Sims Way and 4th St.

Safeway Fire Flow: D-10
To improve fire flow capacity to the Safeway area, several interconnections of existing pipelines,
totaling approximately 1,000 feet, in the immediate area were developed. The 8-inch diameter
interconnections are along Gise Street (from 9th Street to 10th Street), at the intersection of 10th
Street and Jackman. Additional interconnects are recommended along 12th Street at Jackman
and between Gise and Holcomb.
General Fire Flow
Additional fire flow-related distribution system improvements are shown in Figure 3-6 in
Appendix C that address limited available fire flow across the City. The improvements are
primarily interconnections that improve looping or replacement of older 4-inch pipelines with 8-
inch pipelines. Each of these additional pipeline improvements are comprised of 8-inch
diameter pipelines except the new pipeline in Hastings Avenue W. and North Jacob Miller Road,
which would be a 12-inch diameter pipeline. The combined total of additional 8-inch diameter
pipeline is 10,209 feet and the combined total of additional 12-inch diameter pipeline is 6,437
feet (along Hastings Avenue W. and North Jacob Miller Road).
The City will undertake these improvements as expansion in growth and development warrants,
or if major street improvements make consideration of these improvements compelling.
Otherwise, these pipeline improvements are considered to be lower priority than improvements
D-1 through D-10.
3.4.3 Annual Main Replacement
Industry experience reveals that asbestos-cement (AC) pipe often deteriorates sooner than
other materials such as ductile iron. The useful life expectancy of AC pipe is difficult to predict
because it depends on the specific conditions of the installation, the corrosive nature of the
trench soils and groundwater, and the corrosivity of the system water. Generally, AC pipe is
considered to have a useful life expectancy of approximately 50 years. The City's distribution
system is comprised of AC pipe ranging in size from 4 to 16 inches. The distribution of AC pipe
within the City's system is presented in Figure 3-7 in Appendix C.
The City's AC pipelines represent most of the oldest sections of the distribution system.
Specific records on the age of most of the AC pipe are scarce or unavailable; however, the City
believes that over half of its AC pipelines are 50 years old or older.
The City does not have the financial resources to replace all of its aging AC pipelines now or
even over a period of a few years, nor is it a prudent use of resources to undertake such a
comprehensive replacement program. As long as these pipelines continue to provide useful
service, their replacement is not necessary or recommended. However, the City recognizes
that replacement of significant sections of these aging pipelines will be necessary in the next
few years, because most of the AC pipelines are beyond their expected useful service life.

4.0 Water Rights Analysis, System Reliability and
Interties
Like many other locations around Puget Sound and across the country, Port Townsend is trying
to balance demands on a limited supply of water. Besides customer demands there is
increased pressure to maintain instream flows for fisheries resources and wildlife habitat. The
City recognizes its responsibility to protect, preserve, and enhance its water resources and to
promote the efficient use of water through conservation. This section describes the City's water
rights analysis, system reliability, and interties.
4.1 Water Rights Analysis
The City has water rights for both the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers. In addition to its surface
water rights to these sources, the City also has storage water rights for two raw water
reservoirs; City Lake and Lords Lake.
4.1.1 Existing Water Rights
This section describes the City's water rights for both its surface water sources and storage
reservoirs. The City has applied for a 150 gpm irrigation ground water right for use by the Port
Townsend Golf Course. This source could also serve an emergency supply for the City.
Surface Water Rights
The City has surface water rights on the Big Quilcene River and the Little Quilcene River. A
summary of the existing and forecasted water rights from the surface water sources are
provided in Table 4-1 and Table 4-3. While maximum instantaneous flow rates are generally
based on the MDD of a system, in the City's case maximum instantaneous flow rates are based
on the flow rates used to fill Lords Lake and/or City Lake during periods of low demand in the
late fall and winter as discussed below.

Notes:
(r)- Water rights for the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers are based on maximum instantaneous withdrawals and do not contain a maximum acre-feet condition. The maximum annual average acre-feet values below would be
for the continuous use of the maximum instantaneous flow rate.
(2)- Whereas for most systems this is typically the summertime MDD,Port Townsend uses the full maximum instantaneous water right when refilling Lords Lake storage reservoir during the wet winter months. MDD for the
City and Mill during the summer is approximately 25.8 cfs.
(3)_ Maximum Annual Average consumption is the maximum annual source diversions between 2009 and 2013.
City of Port Townsend 34 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H0�
Certificate #322 authorizes a primary water right of 30 cfs of surface water (19.4 mgd) from the
Big Quilcene River "to be used within corporate limits of the City of Port Townsend, Townships
30 and 31 North, Range 1 West, and nearby territory." Beginning in 1997 the City had
voluntarily been maintaining a minimum 27 cfs downstream flow below the diversion. Since the
renewal of the US Forest Service Special Use Permit in 2009 a minimum instream flow of 27 cfs
has been mandated as a permit condition to protect the salmon and steelhead fisheries
downstream of the diversion. The City and PTPC often reduce withdrawal of water from the Big
Quilcene River between August and November and make up the difference with water
previously stored in Lords Lake. Despite the complete suspension of diversions, natural stream
flows will sometimes drop below 27 cfs.
The Little Quilcene River water right (Certificate #7028) authorizes a withdrawal of up to 9.56 cfs
but is conditioned with a requirement to maintain a minimum 6.0 cfs flow below the diversion, if
naturally available. There is no specific seasonal restriction on the Little Quilcene water right;
however Little Quilcene River diversions are often limited between July and October due to low
stream flows.
Both the City and PTPC are supplied from the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers through the
Olympic Gravity Water System Pipeline (OGWS). PTPC leases all of the water supply that is
not reserved by the City for its own purposes. The City has reserved 7.74 cfs (5 mgd) of the
OGWS supply for meeting the needs of its retail and wholesale customers. The City's lease
agreement with PTPC expires on March 15, 2020.
Storage Rights
The City has water rights for storage in two reservoirs, Lords Lake and City Lake. The rights
are summarized in Table 4-2. The two Lords Lake reservoir storage permits were issued as
part of the water right certificate for the Little Quilcene River. A separate certificate of water
right was issued for City Lake storage.
Table 4-2. Storage Reservoir Rights

Lords Lake R-7028C 2/9/1927 1,250 407 Little Quilcene Big Quilcene
Reservoir Certificate R-2004 documents a total storage right of 800 acre-feet of surface water in
the City Lake reservoir diverted from the Big Quilcene River pursuant to Certificate 322. The
current storage capacity of City Lake is 144 MG (442 acre-feet). The Big Quilcene River is the
primary supply for City Lake and the entire system, with Lords Lake as the backup supply.
Reservoir Certificate 7028B authorizes a storage right of 750 acre-feet of surface water in Lords
Lake diverted from the Little Quilcene River pursuant to Certificate 7028. Reservoir Certificate
7028C authorizes a storage right of 1,250 acre-feet of surface water in Lords Lake from Little
Quilcene River diversions pursuant to Certificate 7028. Thus, the total storage right of water in
Lords Lake is 2,000 acre-feet (652 MG). The current storage capacity of Lords Lake is 500 MG
(1,535 acre-feet).
City of Port Townsend 35 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H0�
The City typically draws down Lords Lake during the later summer and early fall months when
maintenance of in-stream flow limit withdrawals from the Big Quilcene and Little Quilcene
Rivers. Storm events and rapid snowmelt also necessitate periodic use of Lords Lake to
minimize raw water turbidity. Lords Lake is filled from the Little Quilcene River when flows
below the diversion are above the 6 cfs minimum in-stream flow requirement. Lords Lake can
also be filled from the Big Quilcene River, as is often the case in the fall and winter, to speed
refilling.
Adding another inlet to Lords Lake from the transmission pipeline would provide additional
flexibility in filling the reservoir from the Big Quilcene River. This would increase settling time for
turbid water and allow filling of both Lords Lake and City Lake reservoirs at the same time.
Moving or adding a second outlet would enable using water below the existing outlet without
having to install temporary pumping equipment. Incorporation of these modifications should be
considered if Lords Lake reservoir undergoes major renovation or substantial work is required
on the pipeline in the vicinity of the reservoir.
The City analyzed expanding Lords Lake to provide additional capacity to meet summertime
water needs of the City and PTPC when low flows in the Big Quilcene and Little Quilcene Rivers
limit diversions. An evaluation in 2001 by CDM examined increasing the size of Lords Lake by
50 and 100 percent. The analysis indicated that refilling an expanded reservoir would only be
possible in 4 out of 5 years during a wetter than normal cycle while maintaining mandated
instream flows. Preliminary cost estimates in 2001 were $2.3 to 3.0 million for a 50 percent
storage expansion and $3.7 to 5.5 million to double the reservoir capacity.
4.1.2 Current and Projected Usage
Current and projected municipal usage for the City was presented in Section 2.0 of this Plan.
PTPC utilizes the majority of the City's water rights as noted previously. Over time Port
Townsend Paper Corporation has upgraded its equipment and improved operating processes
so that their paper production has substantially reduced water consumption. When drafting
from Lords Lake is necessary to maintain instream flows on the Big Quilcene River, PTPC
changes its operations to save approximately 3 to 4 mgd. It is expected that PTPC will continue
to implement additional conservation measures that will further reduce their water requirements,
allowing the City to meet its future growth needs.
4.1.3 Adequacy of Water Rights
The comparison of existing water rights to projected demand is necessary to evaluate the long-
term need for additional water rights. Water rights acquisition is typically a lengthy and
controversial process. Thus, it is important to establish whether or not additional water rights
will be needed to meet projected growth and when such rights would be needed.
Supply facilities are typically designed with a capacity equal to the projected total MDD of the
customers they serve. Diurnal variations in demand in excess of the MDD are typically met by
distribution system reservoir storage. Thus, the projected MDD for the City and PTPC's
projected supply needs are compared in Table 4-3 with the instantaneous water right of the Big
Quilcene River (19.4 mgd). The water right for the Little Quilcene River is not factored into this
comparison because of instream flow requirements limit its use during the late summer and
early fall.

Notes:
(r)- Water rights for the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers are based on maximum instantaneous withdrawals and do not contain a maximum acre-feet condition. The maximum annual average acre-feet values below would be
for the continuous use of the maximum instantaneous flow rate.
(2)- Whereas for most systems this is typically the summertime MDD,Port Townsend uses the full maximum instantaneous water right when refilling Lords Lake storage reservoir during the wet winter months.
(3) The forecasted water use for PTPC and the City is compared against the water right for the Big Quilcene River(19.4 mgd).Due to instream flow requirements,supply is limited from the Little Quilcene River. For
forecasting purposed,it is assumed that the PTPC will operate at a maximum 14.5 mgd.The 2033 projected MDD of the City is 2.4 mgd.Therefore,the total projected demand is 16.9 mgd(26.2 cfs)which is less than the
water right from the Big Quilcene River.
(4)- For forecasting purposes it is assumed that the PTPC will operate at an average 12 mgd. Forecast assumes total annual consumption split of 82%Big Quilcene River and 18%Little Quilcene River.
City of Port Townsend 37 September 2014

While the City has adequate water rights to meet current and projected water uses, it is seeking
an additional ground water right of 150 gpm for irrigation of the City owned golf course, which
would reduce flows diverted from the Quilcene Rivers during periods of low stream flow and
provide an emergency water source located within the City.
It is important to recognize that the City's water rights are fully utilized. As the City reduces its
diversions during summer months to maintain instream flows, water stored in Lords Lake is
used to compensate for the difference between City demands and withdrawal from the rivers.
Reservoirs are refilled in the wet fall and winter months, during which time the full water rights
for both the Big Quilcene and Little Quilcene are utilized.
The City has identified the following alternatives to meet its long-term supply needs if City needs
grow faster than projected:
• Increase conservation efforts
• Continue to work with PTPC to develop ways to reduce consumption at the mill
Although adequate water rights are in place to meet the combined needs of the PTPC and the
City, the City is limited to 5 mgd per its lease agreement with the PTPC. Out of that 5 mgd is a
commitment of 0.28 mgd for LUD No. 3. By 2016 LUD No. 3 is expected to be connected to the
Jefferson PUD Quimper ground water system. As a result, the City will have at least 5 mgd for
its use until the next lease renegotiation with the PTPC. Comparing that to the projected 2033
MDD of 2.39 mgd, as presented in Table 2-8, there appears to be adequate supply per the
City's water rights and lease agreement with the PTPC for expected growth in demand.

8.0 Improvements Program
System improvements scheduled for the next three years are summarized in accordance with
their relative priority and availability of funds. The project costs presented in Table 8-1 are
"order-of-magnitude" estimates based on 2014 dollars. Order-of-magnitude is defined as an
estimate based on typical industry experience for similar work but made without detailed design-
level data. Accuracy can be expected to vary from 30 percent under to 50 percent over the
estimated costs. Because all costs are provided in 2014 dollars, future costs must be adjusted
to account for the effects of inflation and changing construction market conditions at the time of
construction. In general, costs for land or right-of-way acquisition are not included in project
costs unless specifically noted.
The order-of-magnitude costs prepared for system improvements are for guidance in utility
budgeting, project evaluation, funding, and implementation. The final costs of the improvements
will depend on actual labor and materials costs, site conditions, productivity, competitive market
conditions, final project scope and schedule, and other variable factors. As a result, the final
project costs will vary from the estimates provided herein. The estimated costs presented in this
section are considered to be total project costs, which include design, construction, project
contingency, legal, and administrative expenses.
Estimated project costs developed for pipeline improvements were based on unit costs per
lineal foot of pipeline. A single set of cost per lineal foot criteria was used for each of the
pipeline improvement. Site-specific cost estimates were not developed because of the
uncertainty of the actual location of the pipeline improvement. Piping improvements in busy
streets will cost more than piping improvements in the shoulders of less-traveled, more rural
roadways. Some capacity improvements developed by the hydraulic modeling effort can be
implemented along more than one alignment.
The estimated costs for pipeline improvements as well as other improvements are useful for
long-term budgeting purposes and for comparing alternatives. Preliminary study and/or design
should be undertaken for each project in advance of annual budgeting to refine estimated
project costs.
Each major improvement project is designated with an improvement project number to facilitate
referencing between the text and tables in this section.

9.0 Financial Analysis
This section discusses the recent financial performance of the City's water utility and presents a
future projection of its revenues and expenses. Also presented herein is the ability of the City to
pay for proposed capital improvements in the next few years along with a discussion of potential
funding sources. The utility's current rate structure is also presented in this section.
9.1 Historic Financial Performance
The City operates the water utility as a joint fund with the sewer and water resources utilities.
While expenses are reported separately for each department within the utility (i.e. Water
Distribution, Water Quality), revenues are reported jointly. In order to estimate the portion of the
sources of funds available to the water utility, the following assumptions were made:
• Shared Revenues: Revenues that were not identified as "water" or "sewer" were
allocated based on the proportion of water sales to total sales revenue: (Water
Sales)/(Water Sales Revenue + Sewer Sales Revenue) = 42%.
• 100 percent of expenses for the Water Distribution and Water Quality departments were
allocated to the water utility.
• Utility Billing Department expenses were allocated based on number of active accounts.
Per the City's Finance Department, there are 4,457 water accounts and 3,816 sewer
accounts. Therefore, 54 percent of Utility Billing department costs were allocated to the
water utility.
Table 9-1 presents a financial summary of the system's utility fund operating revenues and
expenditures from 2008 through 2013. The system's operating budget for 2014 is also
presented. Utility fund expenses (which include operations and maintenance, taxes, debt
service, and transfers/subsidies) have ranged from a low of$1.9 million in 2008 to a high of$2.4
million in 2011. While the water utility began 2014 with a beginning balance of$2,521,339, the
utility operated between 2009 and 2013 with a deficit totaling $1,516,772.

Notes:
1. The Capital Surcharge was removed from the CIP Fund in 2014.
2. The City cannot request PWFT/DWSRF reimbursement until expenses are paid.Negative balances are a result of a lag time between
requesting reimbursement and receiving the funds.
The City is currently repaying debt service on one bond and five loans and, as of the end of
2013, has two additional water facility loans not yet drawn upon. Reserve and redemption funds
have been established for the bond and loan repayments. The annual PWTF debt service
appears as an expense in the Water Quality and Water Distribution departments as noted in
Table 9-6. The City will continue to act to generate sufficient revenue to retire existing debt, to
finance planned improvements and system operation expenses, and to ensure reserves for
unexpected expenses.

9.2 Water Rates
The City's water rate structure is based on a "cost of service" approach to provide the required
revenue to operate and maintain the utility. The City conducted a rate study in 2013 and
determined that the operating revenues of the water utility were not fully covering operations &
maintenance expenses and that rate increases were needed to address the existing operating
deficit and keep up with costs in subsequent years. In addition, the City Council adopted, a
"capital surcharge" to fund construction of the new water treatment facility. Rate payers also
pay a 20 percent utility tax on water service however the tax does not apply to the capital
surcharge. The City charges a system development fee of$2,522 for each new connection to
the water system. The fees are collected to help the City to pay for new system growth.
The rate structure presented in Table 9-4 is effective as of January 2014. The water system's
rate structure is composed of a monthly base rate charge based on meter size plus a usage
charge. Customers outside the city limits pay higher base and volume rates than those in the
city. Base rate and volume charges are the same for residential and commercial users. Table
9-5 below shows the Council approved rate increases through 2018. An increase to the base
rate and user fee was implemented in 2013 and escalates through 2018 to cover O&M
expenses, which have exceeded revenue since 2009. The approved capital surcharge rates in
Table 9-5 may have to be adjusted depending on the availability of grants and low interest loans
to fund the construction of the water treatment facility and the 5-million gallon reservoir and
booster pump station.

9.3 Additional Sources of Funds
If the City needs additional sources of funds, other than existing rates and connection charges,
to meet future expenses for improvement projects, it has several options to raise additional
funds, including the following:
• Increase Water Rates. The City will conduct another rate analysis that will take into
account future loans, grants and/or bonds necessary to pay for the water treatment plant
and 5-million gallon reservoir replacement.
City of Port Townsend 46 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H0�
• State or Federal Loans or Grants. Loan funding is available through the PWTF loan
program. Loan rates can be as low 0.5 percent if a certain percentage of local matching
funds is provided. The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program has an
attractive loan program design specifically for municipal water systems. Rates are as
low as one percent for qualifying municipalities. Grant funding may be possible, if the
City meets the requirements, through the Community Development Block Grant
program, which is a federal program administered through the Washington State
Department of Commerce.
• Local Improvement Districts (LIDs). The formation of an LID is a tool that can be
used to effect improvements that are either system-wide in nature or relative only to a
specific group of customers.
• Issue Revenue Bonds. Another more-costly option for the City would be to issue
revenue bonds. Revenue bonds are secured by the revenues of the water system.
Typically, bonds have a 20-30 year term but a higher interest rate than State or Federal
loans.
9.4 Fiscal Impacts of Improvement Program
This section presents a financial analysis of the City's water utility. A six-year financial plan was
developed to analyze the impact on water rates of implementing the Improvement Program
presented in Section 8.0.
The building blocks of the financial plan are the projections of costs or revenue requirements
(both operations and maintenance, and capital) that the City will incur and the revenues, which
the City expects to generate during the same period. The financial plan is based on a set of
overall assumptions related to customer growth, inflation, and other factors, as well as
scheduling of the Improvement Program.
The following assumptions were used in developing the water rate model:
• Customer growth will occur at an average rate of 0.25 percent annually through 2016
and 0.5 percent thereafter. This estimate is more conservative than the population
growth rate of 1.01 percent used for the demand forecast as it does not necessarily
transfer to increased revenue for the utilities. Customers may conserve more or
businesses may use less water.
• Operation and maintenance costs will escalate at annual rates of 2.1% to 7%, based on
projected inflation and system growth, and historical trends. Specific escalation factors
used are:
— General inflation: 2.1 percent for 2014, 2.2 percent for 2015, and 3 percent
thereafter.
— Salaries and wages: 3.5 percent
— Personnel benefits: 7 percent
• Additional costs for filtration water treatment plant O&M expenses are expected to begin
in October 2016 an increase yearly with a 3% inflation factor. Labor for plant operations
is assumed to occur with existing staffing levels.
• Utility Billing expenses were allocated based on the number of water utility's share of
total customer accounts (total accounts for water and sewer). Currently 54 percent of
utility billing expenses are allocated to the water utility (4,703 water accounts, 4,119
sewer accounts).
City of Port Townsend 47 September 2014
2014 Water System Plan Update
H]�
• The OGWS Transmission Pipeline Trust Fund is a designated fund for the
maintenance/repair of the main Olympic Gravity Water System transmission line. It was
assumed these funds were not available to fund the Improvement Program. This
analysis assumed the water utility would make an annual transfer of$50,000 and
interfund loan repayments to this fund. The fund balance was $1,740,770 at the start of
2014.
The financial plan for the water utility, in the form of projected sources and uses of funds for the
water operating funds, is presented in Table 9-6. In order to meet revenue requirements and to
continue to meet debt service coverage, the City will be required to raise capital surcharge rates
as indicated in Table 9-5.
Table 9-6 presents the projected operating results for the water utility for 2014 to 2020.
Estimates of total annual rate revenue are based on the rate increase forecasts and projected
revenue under adopted rates. These rate increases have been established to allow the City to
generate adequate fund balances and meet potential debt service coverage requirements. Debt
service coverage is the amount of revenue that a utility must generate annually in excess of its
operation, maintenance, and debt service requirements. This additional revenue is required by
bond buyers as a condition of issuing revenue bonds; it provides the bond buyers a measure of
security regarding debt repayment by the utility. Failure to generate the required revenues puts
the utility in default on the bonds, which adversely affects current and future bond ratings and
interest costs.
Debt service coverage requirements generally require net revenues (system income and
revenue less operation and maintenance expenses) be at least 1.25 times the average annual
principal and interest requirements of all outstanding bonds. Table 9-6 shows the projected
debt service coverage based on the projected operating revenues and O&M expenses over the
study period. Except for 2017, debt service coverage meets the assumed minimum coverage
target.

9.5 Tiered Service
Policy 2.4 of the City's GMA Comprehensive Plan defines the goal of identifying and
establishing urban capital development and utility growth tiers which are consistent with and
support the growth and development patterns of the City's land use planning objectives. Three
tiers were identified. The purpose of the capital facilities growth tiering is to encourage growth
in, and adjacent to, areas currently provided with a full range of public facilities and utilities.
The tiering policies are implemented through Port Townsend Municipal Code Sections
13.14.010(E) and 13.14.060, which define City funding and participation for private utility
development projects. For development projects in Tier 1, the City will pay for any required
oversizing of lines for future growth and will pay a proportionate share of costs when
improvements benefit existing customers. For development projects in Tier 2, the City will
participate in these programs only to the extent that funds are available in the current year's
Capital Improvement Program. For development in Tier 3, the developer must pay the full cost
of all improvements, including oversizing or for existing customers. No City funding for
development in Tier 3 is available.
Tier 1 covers the areas that are currently provided with a full range of public facilities and
utilities. Tier 2 covers areas with limited public infrastructure which are designated for
commercial, manufacturing, or higher-density residential development. All other areas are
designated as Tier 3.

To: Port Townsend City Council
From: Jack Range, Port Townsend Planning Commission Vice-Chair
Date: June 27, 2014
Subject: File No. LUP14-037, Review and Recommendation on adoption of the 2014
Water System Plan (WSP)update
Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Recommendation
The Port Townsend Planning Commission respectfully submits to the City Council the following
Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Recommendation for the above-referenced
application:
FINDINGS OF FACT
Proposal and Background:
1. As a purveyor of public water, the City of Port Townsend is required to prepare and adopt a
Water System Plan(WSP) in order to maintain compliance with Washington State
Department of Health (DOH) requirements.
2. Per DOH requirements, a WSP is normally be updated every six (6) years. The City's
current WSP was approved in July 2008. The DOH has agreed to the City providing a
limited update in 2014 that will be valid for three years. This abbreviated WSP effort will
allow the City to complete installation of a new federally-mandated water filtration system
and evaluate changes needed to it once online. At that time, a full WSP update will be
prepared and processed.
3. The 2014 WSP applies to land within the City of Port Townsend as well as to certain areas of
unincorporated Jefferson County located within the WSP-defined service area. No changes
to the water service area established by the 2008 WSP are being sought with the 2014 update.
Adoption of the 2014 WSP update is designed to improve and update existing standards in a
manner consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan, as outlined below.
Environmental Review:
4. Adoption of the 2014 WSP update is undergoing environmental review and threshold
determination in compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) (Chapter
43.21C RCW, and Chapter 197-11 WAC) and Chapter 19.04 PTMC. A Notice of
Application and Intent to Issue a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) was published
and provided to interested agencies on June 18, 2014. The public comment period for SEPA
review ends on July 3, 2014. SEPA review will be completed prior to seeking final adoption
of the 2014 WSP update from the City Council.
5. On June 18, 2014,the State Department of Commerce, Growth Management Services,
acknowledged receipt of the City's intent to adopt the 2014 WSP update as required under
RCW 36.70A.106.
Review Process:
6. In addition to environmental review under SEPA, adoption of the 2014 WSP update must be
reviewed for consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission
finds the most applicable Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan that relate to
adoption of the 2014 WSP are found in the Capital Facilities and Utilities Element . They
include the following:
Purpose: The purpose of the Capital Facilities & Utilities Element is to identify and
coordinate improvements necessary to accommodate orderly growth, set policy direction for
capital improvements, and ensure that they are provided in a timely manner. The need to
provide specific facilities and services is directly linked to community expectations.
Capital Facilities - Generally
Goal 1: To plan and provide adequate public capital facilities and utilities to address current
needs and growth and development.
Policy 1.1:Design public facilities to be compatible in scale and design with surrounding
uses, and to incorporate common design elements which enhance a sense of community and
neighborhood identity.
Policy 1.2:Determine capital facilities and utilities needs based on adopted level of service
standards, adopted population projections, and the growth patterns established in the Land
Use Element. Use population projections for the 50 year planning period or ultimate build-
out under the growth patterns established by the Land Use Element to determine City needs
for water, wastewater and stormwater facilities. Recognize that limited water supplies,
financial resources, and environmental constraints may restrict growth to a level below
adopted population projections.
Policy 1.3:Promote conservation of energy, water and natural resources and the use of
alternative technologies in the location and design of public facilities and utilities (e.g., use
natural drainage systems rather than constructing piped stormwater systems).
Policy 1.4:Provide adequate public facilities and responsive and efficient public services in
order to attract and support commercial and manufacturing development consistent with the
Economic Development Element of this Plan.
Phasing of Capital Facilities & Utilities
Goal 2: To phase the timing and provision of capital improvements in a manner that
promotes orderly growth and development and the efficient use of City resources.
Policy 2.1:Ensure that the growth and development patterns established by the Land Use
Element minimize facility demands for transportation, water treatment and distribution,
wastewater treatment, surface water management, and police and fire protection,
Policy 2.2:Make efficient and cost-effective use of existing public facilities, including such
techniques as: conservation; demand management and improved scheduling; shared use of
public facilities; and the use of alternative technologies.
2
Policy 2.3:Expand public facilities, or construct new public facilities, only when necessary to
achieve efficient service delivery or attain identified levels of service.
Policy 2.4:Identify and designate urban capital facility and utility growth tiers which are
consistent with and support the growth and development patterns established in the Land Use
Element.
2.4.1 Designate areas that are currently characterized by urban development and
densities, which are provided with the full range of public facilities and
utilities, as "Tier 1" areas.
2.4.2 Designate areas currently provided with limited public infrastructure which
are designated for commercial, manufacturing, or higher density residential
development, as "Tier 2" areas.
2.4.3 Designate all remaining areas as "Tier 3." [Ord. No. 2825, § 3.3, (January 6,
2003)].
Policy 2.5:Within the framework of the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP)process,
prioritize the provision of capital facilities, services and utilities.
2.5.1 Highest priority should be given to ensuring the continued operation and
maintenance of urban capital facilities, services and utilities regardless of
their location.
2.5.2 Second priority should be given to expanding capital facilities, services and
utilities within Tier 1 areas.
2.5.3 Third priority should be given to expanding capital facilities, services and
utilities within Tier 2 areas, within the 20 year planning horizon.
2.5.4 Lowest priority should be given to expanding capital facilities,
services and utilities within Tier 3 areas.
Policy 2.6:Consistent with policy 2.5, above, the City should not provide facilities, services
and utilities in unserved areas unless clearly specified within the annual CIP. However,
developers and home builders may, at their own expense, provide facilities, services and
utilities for new development in presently unserved areas, based on adopted level of service
standards.
Levels of Service
Goal 3: To provide adequate public facilities that achieve and maintain the level of service
standards for the existing and future population.
Policy 3.1:Use the following level of service standards for determining the need for public
wastewater and water facilities:
ABLE VII-1: WATER& WASTEWATER LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS
FACILITY STANDARD
City: Raw Water Supply 360 gallons/capita/day
Tri-Area: Raw Water Supply 340 gallons/capita/day
City: Raw Water Storage 50,000 gallons/capita
ri-Area Raw Water Storage N/A
City: Treated Water Storage 475 gallons/capita
3
TABLE VII-1: WATER& WASTEWATER LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS
FACILITY STANDARD
ri-Area: Treated Water Storage 535 gallons/capita
City: Wastewater Collection & Treatment 120 gallons/capita/day
Concurrency Management
Goal 4: To ensure that water, wastewater, stormwater and transportation facilities are
provided concurrent with new development, based on the City's adopted level of service
standards.
Policy 4.1:Evaluate each development to ensure that it meets the City's adopted level of
service standards for water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities prior to issuance of a
building permit. Evaluate each development to ensure that it meets the City's adopted level of
service standards for transportation facilities within six years of issuance of a building
permit.
Policy 4.2:Review and condition each development to ensure that appropriate provisions are
made for facilities, services and utilities not required for concurrency, including, but not
limited to:
a. Fire and emergency medical services (EMS);
b. Parks, open spaces and trails;
c. Law enforcement; and
d. Schools and school facilities.
Policy 4.3:Provide the following options for applicants when adequate public facilities are
not available concurrent with the impacts of development:
a. Mitigate all development impacts on levels of service; or,
b. Revise the proposed development to reduce impacts and maintain satisfactory
levels of service; or,
c. Phase the development to coincide with the availability of increased water,
wastewater, and transportation facility capacity.
Policy 4.4:Develop, adopt and implement a concurrency management system within one
year following adoption of this Comprehensive Plan.
Funding & Financial Feasibility
Goal 5: To provide needed public facilities within the City's financial capabilities or within
the City's authority to require others to provide such facilities.
Policy 5.1:Base the Capital Facilities Plan on estimates of local revenues and external
revenues which are reasonably anticipated to be received by the City.
5.1.1 Consider a wide variety of potential funding sources to finance the capital
improvements specified in the Capital Facilities Plan, such as: real estate
excise tax; user fees; general obligation bonds; and impact fees.
5.1.2 Match revenue sources to capital projects on the basis of sound fiscal
policies. Sound fiscal policies include: cost-effectiveness; prudent asset
and liability management; ensuring that the length of financing does not
exceed use of the City's borrowing capacity; prudent use of the City's
borrowing capacity; and maximizing the use of grants and other external
revenues.
Policy 5.2:Finance the six-year Capital Improvements Program to assure a positive balance
between available revenue and needed capital facilities and utilities. If projected funding is
inadequate to finance needed capital facilities and utilities based on adopted level of service
standards and forecasted growth, make adjustments to one or more of the following:
a. Level of service standard;
b. Land Use Element; and/or
c. Sources of revenue.
Policy 5.3:Ensure adequate funding is available for long term operations and maintenance
costs prior to the construction of new capital facilities.
Policy 5.4:Ensure that new development pays a proportionate share of the cost of new capital
facilities and utilities needed to serve the development.
Policy 5.5:Ensure that developers provide capital facilities and utilities concurrent with new
development, or provide a contractual agreement for the phasing of facilities and utilities,
subject to approval by the City.
Consistency with Other Plans
Goal 6: To ensure that the Capital Facilities Element is consistent with other City, local,
regional and State adopted plans.
Policy 6.1: Ensure that functional plans (e.g., Stormwater Master Plan) and subarea plans
(e.g., Urban Waterfront Plan) are consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive
and Capital Facilities Plans.
Policy 6.1.1: Where found inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, process initial
adoption of/revisions to functional plans and subarea plans as a Comprehensive Plan

criteria. (Ord. No. 2825, § 3.3, (January 6, 2003); Ord. No.2783, (November
19, 2001).
UTILITY GOALS & POLICIES
Utilities—Generally
Goal 9: To ensure the provision of utilities to address current needs and growth and
development.
Policy 9.1: Ensure environmentally sensitive, cost effective, safe and reliable utility service
that is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
Policy 9.2: Encourage the joint use and provision of utility corridors, facilities and services.
Policy 9.3: Coordinate planning and development review with other jurisdictions when
utility additions and improvements cross jurisdictional boundaries.
Policy 9.4: Ensure that above-ground utility installations (e.g., microwave relay towers) are
located and designed in a manner most compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and
natural characteristics of the land.
Policy 9.5: Install new and, where feasible, relocate existing utility distribution lines
underground. (Note: Placing utility lines underground will enhance the visual aesthetics of
town, reduce the potential for power outages, and eliminate unattractive pruning of
vegetation).
9.5.1 Explore prioritizing the placement of utility lines underground along
major transportation routes with good territorial views.
9.5.2 Acknowledge the disproportionate costs of placing existing lines
underground for smaller developments by allowing owners to defer
until underground placement occurs as part of a larger project where
economies of scale can be realized.
9.5.3 Consider the rates and tariffs of the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission (WUTC) in determining which existing
distribution lines should be placed underground.
Policy 9.6: Work to ensure reasonable and equitable utility rates and regulations for Port
Townsend residents by offering regular testimony before the WUTC.
Policy 9.7: Periodically review the scientific research on risks associated with exposure to
electromagnetic fields (EMF). If warranted by new information or changes to state or federal
regulation, modify policies and regulations.
Policy 9.8: Ensure that public and private utilities minimize the clearing of trees and
vegetation in the management of utility corridors and street rights-of-way.

with the Water Master Plan policies.
Policy 17.6: Permit latecomer agreements for system extensions in accordance with the
Water Master Plan policies.
Policy 17.7: Ensure that the water utility rate structure allocates costs fairly between
different classes of customers and service areas. Apply cost of service principles to determine
appropriate cost allocations.
Policy 17.8: Design a water utility rate structure that encourages conservation.
Policy 17.9: Continue to provide water utility rate assistance to low income customers, as
defined in Chapter 13.24 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC).
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
7. It is not anticipated that adoption of the 2014 WSP update will result in probable significant
adverse impacts to the built or natural environment, or place uncompensated burdens upon
existing or planned service capabilities. To confirm this, environmental review pursuant to
the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) is underway and will be completed prior to staff
seeking final approval from the City Council.
8. The proposed adoption of the 2014 WSP update is consistent with the GMA, the adopted
countywide planning policy of Jefferson County, and the City's Comprehensive Plan.

Ordinance 3115
Page I of 4
ORDINANCE NO.3115
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND ADOPTING THE CITY OF
PORT TOWNSEND 2014 WATER SYSTEM PLAN AND ESTABLISHING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE
FINDINGS AND RECITALS. Based upon the public record before the Port Townsend City
Council, the City Council of the City of Port Townsend finds as follows:
1. In the State Board of Health Code, Chapter 43.20 RCW, the Washington State
Legislature has authorized the State Department of Health (DOH) to adopt rules and
standards for public water systems, including mandatory planning and system
development requirements. In accordance with Chapter 43.20 RCW, and for the
purpose of protection of public health and safety, the Department of Health, through
WAC 246-290, requires all public water utilities to prepare comprehensive water
system plans consistent with the provisions of state law. In accordance with
Washington law, and for the protection of public health and safety,the City has the
authority to undertake necessary planning and regulatory activities regarding the City's
municipal water utility.
2. On October 15, 2007 the City adopted the current Water System Plan with the passage
of Ordinance No. 2954. The DOH requires that water system plans be updated every
six years. In 2014 the City initiated the process of updating of the 2008 Water System
Plan. The City's current plan approved by the DOH in August 2008 is comprehensive.
Those chapters of the 2008 Water System Plan that are not identified in the 2014 Water
System Plan will remain valid for three years from the date of final approval by DOH
to allow the City to install filtration and evaluate the changes needed to the system once
the filtration is online.
3. The City of Port Townsend adopted its Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan
in accordance with the Washington State Growth Management Act(GMA) on July 15,
1996, Ordinance No. 2539. All findings, recitals and other provisions of Ordinance No.
2539, and all provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and the public record supporting
the Comprehensive Plan are incorporated herein by this reference. Adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan was an essential prerequisite to adoption of a Water System Plan,
in that the GMA Comprehensive Plan provides the City with analysis and guidance in
assessing and anticipating population growth and infrastructure needs for the present
and future residents within the City's water system service areas. The City's
Comprehensive Plan is in the process of being revised and the 2014 Water System Plan
uses the interim population growth rate of 1.01% compounded annual growth.
4. On June 26, 2014, the Planning Commission reviewed the Draft 2014 Water System
Plan for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, held a public hearing, and found it
to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

5. The City's Water Service Area Boundary was confirmed by the City Council on April
2, 2007, and has not changed since that time. No changes to the Water Service Area
Boundary are proposed for this update.
6. On July 16, 2014 after timely public notice, the City's SEPA Responsible Official
issued a determination of non-significance (DNS) in accordance with Chapter 43.21C
RCW, the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA), with a final DNS issued thereafter.
The City did not receive an appeal of the SEPA threshold determination.
7. In accordance with Washington law, the City forwarded the draft Water System Plan to
the State of Washington Department of Health for review and comment. On July 1,
2104 the Department of Health provided comments to the City's Draft Water System
Plan Update. The City responded to the comments and appropriately incorporated the
response comments into the Draft Water System Plan. Following City Council
approval of the Water System Plan, the Plan will be submitted to DOH for their final
approval.
8. The Port Townsend Water System Plan contains goals, policies, system maps and
design standards intended to guide the development of water system facilities.
Components of the 2008 plan that have been updated in the 2014 plan include:
(a) Basic planning data including population, service connections, equivalent
residential unit(ERU) data, large water users, monthly and annual production and
consumption, annual water use by customer class, and annual water use for
wholesale or other systems.
(b) System analysis of the carrying capacity indentifying limiting factors for the system
and associated equivalent ERUs.
(c) Capital improvement plan (CIP) for the next three years.
(d) Budget analysis for the period of 2014 through 2017 identifying the financial impact
of water operations and projects identified in the CIP.

Dear Ian Jablonski:
Thank you for submitting the City of Port Townsend Water System Plan (WSP)received by the Office of
Drinking Water(ODW) on June 4,2014. We have reviewed the WSP and have the following comments that
need to be addressed before ODW can approve the plan:
1. Page 15. Please provide a system schematic with a hydraulic grade line to clarify how water
is moved within the service area.
2. Page 17. According to the presented capacity analysis,the system capacity limiting factor will be
the Water Treatment Plant flow rate of 3 million gallons per day (mgd). Please verify that using
this flow rate and peak hour demand that the treatment plant will meet the new CT
requirements of 0.5 log Giardia inactivation for the membrane treatment facility, using the
one and five million gallon (MG) reservoirs. The required volume to meet CT for the new
treatment facility cannot contain equalization storage volume within the reservoirs.
3. Page 17. Please be aware that ODW has recently begun reevaluating baffling factors used in
estimating contact time. We have assigned a baffling factor of 0.4 to the 1 MG standpipe and
0.25 to the 5 MG reservoir. Please verify that future CT for the new treatment plant can be
met using these baffling factors and proposed peak hour demands.
4. Page 20. Standby Storage is not required but is recommended for system reliability and is a
purveyor option to provide. Please clarify this under the standby storage discussion.
5. The operation and maintenance of a treatment plant can be more expensive that running a water
system without treatment. Please clarify if the potential increase in operation and
maintenance costs were included in the budget presented in this plan.

Update of 2008 Plan Three-Year Extension, ODW Project#14-0606
Dear Ian Jablonski:
The Water System Plan(WSP) update received by the Office of Drinking Water (ODW) on June
4, 2014, along with the subsequent submittal received on August 12, 2014, have been reviewed
and are APPROVED.
Approval of this WSP is valid as it relates to current standards outlined in WAC 246-290 revised
April 30, 2012, WAC 246-293 revised September 1997, and RCW 70.116 (Municipal Water
Law) effective September 2003, and is subject to the qualifications herein. Future changes in the
rules and statutes may be more stringent and require facility modification or corrective action.
Based on the information supplied in the WSP, your water system has sufficient capacity to meet
the growth projections for the identified three-year planning period. ODW is approving this plan
for three years.
An approved update of this WSP is required on or before September 4, 2017, unless ODW
requests an update or plan amendment pursuant to WAC 246-290-100(9).
APPROVED NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS
Based on the analysis presented in the WSP, the City of Port Townsend water system is
approved for 11,024 Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs), and for an Unspecified number of
connections. The capacity was determined based on a Maximum Day Demand (MDD) of 272
gallons per day per ERU (gpd/ERU). The limiting factor for the system is treatment capacity
(MDD) for the new filtration treatment facility.

You are responsible for permitting the addition of new service connections to your water system
in a manner consistent with the approved document. We expect you to maintain a process,
which recognizes all new connections added to the water system, and the water demands
associated with each connection. Your process must assure that physical capacity and water
right limitations are not exceeded.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONSISTENCY
John McDonagh, Senior Planner, City of Port Townsend signed the local consistency statement
on July 15, 2014. Stacie L. Hoskins, Planning Manager, Jefferson County signed the local
consistency statement on July 14, 2014. This meets local government consistency requirements
for WSP approval pursuant to RCW 90.03.386 and RCW 43.20.
WATER RESOURCES
Our approval of your water system plan does not confer or guarantee any right to a specific
quantity of water. The approved number of service connections is based on your representation
of available water quantity. If the Washington Department of Ecology, a local planning agency,
or other authority responsible for determining water rights and water system adequacy
determines that you have use of less water than you represented, the number of approved
connections may be reduced commensurate with the actual amount of water and your legal right
to use it.
Ecology has not determined this WSP is "not inconsistent" with the approved watershed plan for
WIRA 17. Please contact Ecology for more information.
We recognize the significant effort and resource commitment involved in the preparation of this
WSP. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you have any questions, please contact Corina Hayes at (360) 236-3031 or Teresa Walker at

RE: SEPA checklist and Washington Department of Health (DOH) Consistency Review
Checklist for City of Port Townsend 2014 Water System Plan (WSP)
Dear Mr. McDonagh:
Enclosed is the 2014 City of Port Townsend Water System Plan update and associated SEPA
checklist (including the non-project supplemental checklist) and DOH consistency review
checklist for your Department's review.
The City's current plan was approved in July 2008 which was a comprehensive update. The
DOH has approved providing a limited update that will be valid for three years to allow the City
to install filtration and evaluate the changes needed to the system once the filtration is
online. Port Townsend is maintaining the same service area as indicated in the 2008 Service
Area map and 2008 land use and zoning map— both of these figures are included as
attachments.
Specific updates to the 2014 WSP include:
• Basic Planning Data — Updated population, service connections, and ERU data.
Identification of major water users. Updated information on monthly and annual
production and consumption, annual use by customer class and annual use for
wholesale or other systems.
• System Analysis — System capacity analysis identifying the limiting factors for the
system and associating them with equivalent ERU's and a summary of hydraulic
capacity results which describe any areas which do not meet minimum pressure
requirements.
• Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) — Updated CIP to show what the City has planned for at
least the next three years.
• Budget —Three year budget with impact of projects identified in the CIP. Summary of the
current rate structure and changes to the rates because of capital improvements.
A NATIONAL MAIN STREET COMMUNITY WASHINGTON'S HISTORIC VICTORIAN SEAPORT
The City is working with the DOH to have the plan reviewed and approved by September 1,
2014 in order for the City to be eligible for the 2014 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund cycle.
Public Hearings are planned for June 26, 2014 with the Planning Commission for a
Comprehensive Plan consistency review and August 4, 2014 at the City Council meeting. The
County Planning Department is also conducting a DOH consistency review of the plan update.
We look forward to your comments and please let me know if you have any questions.

SEPA INFORMATION
THE PURPOSE OF SEPA
The State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) requires the City to consider the environmental impacts of a
proposal before making decisions. The purpose of SEPA is to provide the information to help you and the
City identify impacts from your proposal, and to help the City decide whether an Environmental Impact
Statement(EIS) is required from a Determination of Significance (DS), or a Determination of Non-
Significance (DNS) may be issued. An EIS must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant
adverse impacts on the environment. Frequently, however, the impacts of a proposal can be mitigated
through certain conditions or voluntary measures agreed to by the applicant. Mitigation measures may
include, for example, limiting construction hours to reduce noise, preserving significant tees or habitat, and
a variety of other issues regarding the environment.
New development proposals may also place an added burden on public services. New residents and
employees use public parks, require fire and police protection, and other general government services.
These impacts are significant during the first few years after a proposal is submitted to the City, and before
the tax the City receives generated by the project. City service providers must cover increasing expanses
without compensating revenues. Impact mitigation under SEPA is designed to help reduce the strain on
public services.
Also, capital costs associated with providing facilities for new residents and employees are not covered by
these tax revenues. In a rapidly growing community, existing City taxpayers must make up unpaid short-
term operational costs and capital expanses. Unless these impacts are mitigated, current City taxpayers
would be put in the position of subsidizing new development and would not realize a full return on their tax
dollars.
WHEN A CHECKLIST IS REQUIRED
The SEPA review process generally begins when someone submits a permit application to the City, for
example, a building permit, land use application such as a conditional use or a rezone, grading permits, or
any such project where the City is required to issue a permit or approval. This is considered an "action"
under SEPA, WAC 197-11-704.
EXEMPTIONS TO SEPA
To be exempt from SEPA review, the proposed project must be smaller than or equal to the following:
0 The construction or location of any residential structures of nine (9) dwelling units;
0 The construction of an office, school, commercial, recreational, service, or storage building 4,000
square feet in size with 20 parking spaces;
0 Repair, remodel, and maintenance activities (unless associated with a non-exempt proposal);
0 The vacation of streets and roads;
0 The granting of variances based on special circumstances.
CRITICAL AREAS
Pursuant to the Washington Growth Management Act (GMA), the city requires protection of critical areas
within the city limits. These areas, along with protective buffers, include wetlands and streams, frequently
flooded areas, aquifer recharge areas, fish and wildlife habitat, and geologically hazardous areas (steep
slopes, soils with high erosion rates). Originally adopted by the City Council in November 1992, the
ordinance was recently updated (Ordinance 2899, 2005) to incorporate best available science. The Critical
Areas Ordinance, as codified in Chapter 19.05 of the Port Townsend Municipal Code, establishes
protection standards that minimize development impacts.
If your property is in a mapped critical area, or meets the criteria for a critical area, City staff will conduct a
site investigation to determine if the mapping is correct. If it is, you may be required to obtain a critical
areas permit. Critical areas maps are on display on the third floor of City Hall, 250 Madison Street, in the
Development Services Department.

COMPLETING A SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
The Environmental Checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please
answer the questions descriptively, but briefly. Be as accurate as possible, and use the most precise
information available to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the
questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. However, answers
to some questions may require expertise or technical assistance from qualified persons. The cost of
obtaining such information is the responsibility of the applicant.
If you do not know the answer, write, "do not know," or if it does not apply to your proposal, write "does not
apply." Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and land use
designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you need help, City staff can assist you. The
Checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do it over a period of time, or on
different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its
environmental effects.
THE PROCESS
A pre-application conference with City Development Services Department (DSD) staff is required prior to
submitting an environmental checklist. Filing a checklist with thorough answers the first time may avoid
unnecessary delays later.
Within 14 days of determining that an application is complete, the DSD will provide the public and adjacent
property owners with notice and an opportunity to comment on the pending threshold determination.
The DSD will provide the applicant with two (2) notices of the pending threshold determination posted on
two signboards, and one (1) copy of an affidavit of posting. The applicant posts the notices, placing the
boards in conspicuous locations on or near the property, and maintains them in place until the
determination is issued. The affidavit of posting must be signed, notarized, and returned to the Department
no later than seven (7) days after the notices are provided. Upon issuance of the determination, any
conditions imposed must be posted on the signboards and remain there until the project has been finaled.
The DSD will arrange one (1) publication of the notice to appear in a newspaper of general circulation
within the City. Any person will then have a period of 20 days (30 days if a shoreline permit is involved)
from the date of publication to submit information and comments to the DSD relating to the project. All
comments received will be provided to the proponent. In addition to having the property posted and
publishing the notice, DSD staff may opt to hold a public meeting to review the checklist, schedule a public
site visit or informal meeting with the proponent, adjacent property owners, or interested citizens, or use
any other reasonable method deemed appropriate by the staff.
The staff member who is the responsible official will make the threshold determination and issue either a
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS), a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS), or a
Determination of Significance (DS). An applicant may request in writing early notice if a DS is likely. A DS
may not be appealed.
If the responsible official finds that a proposal is likely to have some potential significant environmental
impacts, the applicant may modify the proposal to reduce such impacts, therefore the MDNS issuance. An
MDNS lists specific mitigation measures to be implemented by the applicant to reduce impacts. If the
project is approved with specific mitigating conditions, the applicant must post the conditions and return a
signed, notarized affidavit of posting, and maintain the posted conditions during construction. The
conditions must be removed upon completion of the project.
No threshold determination is final until expiration of the 15-day administrative appeal period. If it is
appealed, then the determination is final when the decision is made on the appeal. If no written comments
have been received on a threshold determination, no appeal is available.
A written statement appealing the threshold determination of the responsible official must be filed with the
Building and Community Development Director within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of publication
of the threshold determination. If a person has filed comments on the pending determination, submittal of
Page 5 of 30
a written appeal letter is required. If a person has not commented previously, both a comment letter and a
separate appeal letter must be submitted within the 15-day administrative appeal comment period.
The fee to appeal the Director's decision is $200. The fee is waived if a valid petition is signed by 200 Port
Townsend citizens and is submitted to the Department within the 15-day appeal period. The appeal must
clearly list the names and addresses of each signatory.
Decisions on additional necessary permits for a proposal cannot take place until the environmental review
process is completed. In addition, no site work, including clearing or grading, may commence prior to
completion of the SEPA process. So, while a hearing before the Planning Commission or the Hearings
Examiner may be held before the environmental review process is completed, decisions must await
completion of SEPA review.
The SEPA review process can normally be accomplished within 90 days of the City receiving a complete
application, unless the City requests additional technical studies. Please contact a City planner at
360.379.5095 if you have questions.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NON-PROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for non-project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not
apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For non-project actions, the references in the checklist to the words"project", "applicant", and "property or
site" should be read as"proposal", "proposer", and "affected geographical area", respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. EARTH
a. General description of the site (mark one):
x Flat x Rolling x Hilly x Steep slopes
❑ Mountainous x Other: Areas include varied terrain.
The City of Port Townsend water system lies within the Puget
Lowlands in the eastern section of Jefferson County. The Olympic
Mountains are located to the west and are the source of the river
systems that drain to the east into AdmiraltV inlet and Hood Canal.
Landforms have been shaped by past glacial periods leaving a
complex series of sediments yp to 2,000 feet thick.
The Quirn er Peninsula and the City of Port Townsend are
characterized by wooded gently rolling, north/south trending hills.
Elevations in the water service planning area vary from sea level to
approximately 300 feet. Steep wave-cut bluffs along Discovery
Bay, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puqet Sound are common.
The areas that will potentially be affected by the Plan range widely
in topographical conditions. For further information regarding the
City of Port Townsend. refer to the Comprehensive Plan.
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent of
the slope)? Steep slopes greater than 30% represent a relatively
small percentage of the City's total acreage 0.7. or 33 acres). A
majority of Port Townsend's existing development has taken place
in areas with slopes of less than 15%. Areas of steep slopes are
concentrated on the Citv's perimeter, adjacent to the saltwater
bodies that surround the area. For further_information, refer to the
Comprehensive Plan.
C. What general types of soils are found on the site (for
example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the
classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime
farmland.
The soils within Port Townsend reflect the region's geologic
history. Townsend gravelly loam (Tnc) and Clallam gravelly sandy
loam (CmC) are the predominant soil.groups within the City. Both
of these soil types range from 20 to 40 inches in depth, have low to
moderate permeability and compressibility, and are cemented
below about two feet. These soils are _generally found on till plains_
and terraces. Hydric soils are present on approximately three
percent of the total land area of the City. These 150 acres are
primarily situated in areas surrounding wetlands, and in areas

USE ONLY
close to the City's shoreline, where the water table is at or near the
surface. Representative h dric soil classifications include A new
silt loam A B McMurray and Mukilteo peats Mm and Mukilteo
series soils (Mu). For further information refer to the
Comprehensive Plan. Soils in the vicinity of specific construction
projects will be evaluated during the design of each project
d. Are there surface indications or a history of unstable soils in
the immediate vicinity? If so, describe.
Areas with a history of unstable soils exist in a number of locations
throughout the Cit . including the vertical bluffs on the
southeastern, northeastern and northwestern perimeter of the
town. These areas are relatively stable under ordina conditions.
However, seismic events of moderate to high magnitude could
cause slope failures, or exacerbate erosion and landslide hazards
in areas where the bluff is fractured or where talus slopes are low.
Approximately 665 acres (14.3%) of Port Townsend's land base is
comprised of landslide and erosion hazards. For additional
information, refer to the Comprehensive Plan.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of
any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill.
Filling and grading rading information will be available and evaluated with
the desi n of each Proiect As a non- ro ect action, the proposal
does not involve site alterations of any kind. Future Project actions
that are not categorically exempt pursuant to Chapter 197-11-800
WA C. and which require issuance of a City license or permit will be
subiect to review under the City's SEPA Implementinq Ordinance
(Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the Critical Areas (CA 0) Ordinance
(Chapter 19.05 PTMC). After reviewing applications for such
project actions the City of Port Townsend maV determine that
mi ation measures are necessaa to avoid probable significant
adverse environmental impact.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or
use? If so, generally describe.
Because the proposal is a non-protect action it will not result in
clearing or construction-related erosion. Future proiect level
actions which require issuance of any state or local permit or
license: and that are not categorically. exempt under Chapter 197-
11-800 WAG will be sub'ect to review under the Cit 's SEPA
Implementinq Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the Critical
Areas (CA O) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC] or Jefferson
County's Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code
After reviewing applications for such proiect actions the City of
Port Townsend or Jefferson Count ma determine that mjti ation
Page 8 of 30

measures are necessary to avoid probable si gnificant adverse
environmental impacts. Proper construction practices following City
of Port Townsend uidelines should minimize erosion.
g. About what percent of the site would be covered with
impervious surfaces after project construction (for example,
asphalt or buildings)?
The ro osa/is a non-project action that does not involve
construction of impervious surfaces. As a desi nated Urban
Growth Area (UGA), Port Townsend has enacted a
Comprehensive Plan that, over time, will result in a variety of urban
densities and building intensities throughout the City, which will be
supported by the municipal water system. The commercial,
manufacturing, mixed use and multi-family zoning desi nations in
the southern one-third (113) of the City will likely result in the
greatest cumulative total of impervious surfaces (refer to the
adopted Land Use Map. and the descriptions of the C-1. C-1 1MU, C-
ll. C-11/MU C-11(H), C-lll, M/C, and M-11(A) and 8 designations in
the Final Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan). Impervious
surfaces could reach or exceed 90% of the building site in the
highest density commercial and manufacturing districts.
Impervious surface evaluations will be completed during the design
of each capital project,
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other
impacts to the earth, if any:
Because the proposal is a non- roiect action, it does not involve
site alterations of any kind. Future project level actions which
require issuance of any state or local permit or license; and that
are not categorically exempt under Chapter 197-11-800 WAC will
be sub'ect to review under the City's SEPA Im lementin
Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the Critical Areas (CA 0)
Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC) Jefferson County's
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code. After
reviewing a lications for such project actions, the City of Port
Townsend or Jefferson County may determine that mitigation
measures are necessa to avoid probable si nificant adverse
environmental impacts. The use of Best Management Practices for
erosion and sedimentation control following the City of Port
Townsend Engineerinq Design Standards and Ecology's 2005
Stormwater Design Manual for Western Washington will minimize
or avoid impacts to the earth.

2. AIR
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the
proposal (i.e. dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke)
during construction and when the project is completed? If any,
generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Because the pr000sal is a non-project action, it will not result in
emissions to the air. It is acknowledged, however, that regardless
of the ro osed action reviewed herein, continued develo ment
activity will increase the amount of air pollution in the Port
Townsend Urban Growth Area (UGA) (e.g., through the location of
new sources or through increases in automobile traffic). Refer to
the Comprehensive Plan for further information. Typical emissions
from construction, demolition and construction equipment during
construction of new facilities identified in the plan.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may
affect your proposal? If so, generally describe.
No off-site sources of emissions are known.
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other
impacts to air, if any:
Future project level actions which require issuance of any state or
local permit or license; and that are not categorically exempt under
Chapter 197-11-800 WAC will be subject to review under the City's
SEPA Implementing Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the
Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05
PTMC) or Jefferson County's Comprehensive Plan and Unified
Development Code. After reviewing applications for such project
actions. the City of Port Townsend or Jefferson County may
determine that mitigation measures are necessary to avoid
probable significant adverse environmental impacts. For
construction related activities identified in the capital improvement
plan, pro er mufflers and air emissions control devices will be
maintained on equipment. Disturbed areas will be wetted to control
dust.
3. WATER
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate
vicinity of the site (including year-round or seasonal streams, salt
waters, lakes, ponds, and wetlands)? If yes, describe the type and
provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows
into:
Page 10 of 30

area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
Port Townsend contains a variety of natural and human modified
aquatic resources. These include Port Townsend Bay, Admiralty
Inlet, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and ponds, wetlands and
aquifers. Each of these features has its own hydrological functions
as well as other important and sometimes competing functions,
such as economic recreational wildlife and fisheries habitat open
space and aesthetic functions. S nificant bodies of surface water
include Kah Tai Lagoon, the pond at Chinese Gardens, the Port
Townsend Municipal Golf Course Pond and the Winona Wetland.
There are also numerous perennial and seaso17al wetlands within
the City.
The unincorporated area of Jefferson County also contains a
variety of surface waters including the Big Quilcene and Little
Quilcene Rivers. The Big and Little Quilcene Rivers empty into
Quilcene Bay on the Hood Canal. These waters are associated
with significant wetlands. These waters and wetlands provide
similar functions as described above.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to
(within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, describe the work
and attach the available plans.
No. Because the action is a non- ro'ect proposal, it will not involve
any work over, in or adjacent to the waters described in the
response to question #7 above. The City and County will continue
to require either a shoreline substantial development permit or a
shoreline permit exemption for anZ proLect-related work occurrin
within 200 feet of the jurisdictional waters described above. A
_Hydraulic Project Approval from the WA Department of Fish &
Wildlife would also be required. Operation of the munici al
diversions and transmission pipeline will continue to require work
in. over and adjacent to various water bodies including the Big
Quilcene and Little Quilcene Rivers.
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would
be placed in or removed from the surface water or wetlands and
indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Identify the
source of the fill material.
Because the p ro osal is a non-project action, it does not involve fill
and dredge material. Future project applications that involve the
removal or placement of dred ge or fill materials would be subject to
review and mitigation under the City's Critical Areas Ordinance,
Shoreline Master Program, and the Jefferson County Shoreline
Management Master Program.
Future protect level actions which require issuance of any state or
local permit or license, and that are not categorically exempt under__

Chapter 197-11-800 WAC will be subject to review under the City's '
SEPA implementing Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the
Critical Areas Areas (CAO) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 F MC)
Jefferson County's Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development
Code. After reviewing applications for such proiect actions the
City of Port Townsend or Jefferson County may determine that
miti ation measures are necessaa to avoid probable si nificant
adverse environmental impacts,
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or
diversions? Give general description, purpose and approximate
quantities, if known.
This is a non-project proposal, and does not require water
withdrawals or diversions.
The Cit l holds a water ri ht of 30 cfs 19.4 m d on the B
Quilcene River and 9.56 cfs (6.18 mgd) on the Little Quilcene
River. In addition, the Little Quilcene water right contains a storage
provision of 2.000 acre-feet per year, and a separate storage
rovision for 800 acre-feet Pet-year at City Lake exists for the Bi
Quilcene River. Water is used for domestic, commercial and
industrial purposes. -
The Little Quilcene water ri ht is sub"ect to an instream flow
restriction. The City cannot divert water that reduces the flow in the
river below 6 cfs. A junior instream right to supply the fish hatche
for 25 cfs exists on the Big Quilcene River downstream of the
City's diversion. There are several other small downstream
domestic and irrigation users with water rights junior to the City on
both the Biq and Little Quilcene Rivers. There is currently a flow
requirement on the B4q Quilcene River as a cor7dition of the City's
Special Use Permit with the US Forest Service mandating a 27 cfs
minimum instream flow.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so,
note the location on the site plan.
The pr000sal is a non ro'ect action that would affect all areas
within Port Townsend's city limits and the areas of Jefferson
County specified as the out-of-city water service area. Port
Townsend's frequently flooded areas are those lands that have
been identified as likely to flood at least once evety 100 years. or
sub"ect to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any year
Jefferson County Critical Area Ordinance uses a similar definition
for regulatory purposes. Areas of higher elevation surrounding
frequently flooded areas may also be at risk if develo ment
increases stormwater runoff, thereby raising the Dotential for
Page 12 of 30

area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY _
flooding by modifvinq existing drainage pattems or storage
capabilities.
Because Port Townsend's flood hazard areas occur principalIV
along its marine shorelines most fall within the jurisdiction of the
Shoreline Management Act (SMA). Structures in these areas are
subject to hazards associated with the effects of wind and water
loadinq caused by storm surges or tsunamis. Some problem flood
areas also correspond to the location of critical drainage corridors
and wetlands throughout the utility service areas.
Projects related to implementation of this plan that occur in
frequently flooded areas would be subject to review pursuant to
Chapter 197-11-800 WAC. Future project level actions which
require issuance of any state or local permit or license; and that
are not categorically exempt under Chapter 197-11-800 WAC will
be subject to review under the City's SEPA Implementing
Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC and the Critical Areas Areas
(CA 0) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC) or Jefferson County's
Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Code. After
reviewinq applications for such project actions, the City of Port
Townsend or Jefferson County may determine that instigation
measures are necessa to avoid probable si gnificant adverse
environmental impacts.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste
materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and
anticipated volume of discharge.
No. The proposal is a non-project action that will not involve any
discharges of waste materials. Discharge of treated wastewater to
the Straits of Juan de Fuca will increase relative to increases in
indoor water use and population growth.
b. Ground Water:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn or will water be discharged
to ground water? Give a general description and identify the
purpose and approximate quantities, if known.
Because the proposal is a non-project action it does not involve
withdrawals from or discharges to .groundwater. Outdoor use of
water by domestic and commercial customers and use of septic
systems result in some unknown quantity of.ground water recharge
throughout the water service area.
2) Describe waste material that would be discharged into the
ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example:
domestic sewa e; industrial, containing the following chemicals;
Page 13 of 30

area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY _
agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if
applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are
expected to serve:
Because the proposal is a non project action, it does not involve
any discharges of waste materials. On-site septic systems can be
installed within the City's water service area if they are permitted
by Jefferson Count
b. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff(including storm water) and
method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if
known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other
waters? If so, describe.
Because the proposal is a non-project action it will not result in
additional sources of runoff. Stormwater drainage issues will be
considered during the desi n of new facilities identified in this plan.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If
so, generally describe.
Proper construction practices will prevent waste materials from
entering round or surface waters. Additional evaluation of waste
materials will be done during the design of capital projects Future
ro ject level actions which require issuance of any state or local
permit or license; and that are not categorically exempt under
Chapter 197-11-800 WAC will be subiect to review under the City's
SEPA Implementing Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the
Critical Areas (CAO) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC) or
Jefferson Count 's Comprehensive Plan and Unified Develo ment
Code. After reviewing applications for such project actions the
City of Port Townsend or Jefferson County may determine that
miti ation measures are necessary to avoid probable significant
adverse environmental impacts.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground
and runoff water impacts, if any.
The use of Best Management Practices for erosion and
sedimentation control and drainage facility design following the
City of Port Townsend EngAneering Engineering Desi n Standards and
Ecology's 2005 Stormwater Design Manual for Western
Washington will minimize or avoid impacts surface water runoff.
Additional mitigation measures_ will be evaluated during the design
of capital proiects.

all of which are found in the water service area or watersheds.
Other important bird species known to exist within the area include:
alcids; great blue herons; common loon; brandt geese; harlequin
ducks; pigeon guillemots; coots; ruddy ducks; hooded mergansers;
red winged black birds; belted king fishers; and mallard ducks.
Large and medium sized mammals such as deer, coyotes, skunks
and otters are found within the City limits. Bear, cougar, fox
beaver and elk occur in the out-of-town service area and related
watersheds.

Fish in the vicinity of the service area include salmon and
steelhead species, and other saltwater species, including sun`
smelt. Shorelines and the City's water supply watershed also
provide habitat for various life stages of these fish. For further
information_ please refer to the Comprehensive Plan.
b. List any threatened or endangered species to be on or near
the site.
Threatened and endangered species that may occur in the water
service area and Big and Little Quilcene watersheds include bull
trout, Puget Sound chinook and steelhead trout and Hood Canal
summer-run chum salmon, northern spotted owl, marbled murrelet,
and the northern bald eagle. The range of the Southern Resident
killer whale listed as an endangered species, includes salt water in
the vicinity of Port Townsend.
C. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain.
The water service area and municipal watershed lie within the
Pacific Flyway. Consequently, numerous waterfowl use the
wetlands ponds and surrounding marine waters as a migratory
rest stop. or as a permanent wintering area.
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any:
Because the proposal is a non- ro'ect programmatic action it
does not directly involve impacts to wildlife. However, the Water
System Plan does include policies and programs related to water
conservation and protecting water quality and habitat within the
City's drinking water watershed. Water conservation ensures that
there will be water available in the rivers that feed our City water
source, and watershed protection measures ensure clean water for
City water users as well as for fish and wildlife.
In addition to the Critical Areas Ordinance, the Land Use Element
of the Comprehensive Plan contains policy subsections, which
specifically address Natural Resource Lands & Environmentally
Sensitive Areas Water Quality & Management, and Air Quality &
Management. The Water Quality & Management Goal 7 directs
the City to manage surface, ground, storm, waste, and coastal
waters to ensure that Port Townsend's water resources are
protected and preserved. The Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan also directs the City to develop an
interconnected system of open spaces, trails arid parks. One of
the potential benefits of this system is that it is intended to link kev
wildlife habitat areas, thereby preserving habitat continuity and
movement corridors.

mitigation measures are necessary to avoid probable significant
adverse environmental impacts.
6. ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove,
solar) will be used to meet the completed project's energy needs?
Describe whether it would be used for heating, manufacturing, etc.
As_a non-project action, the proposal would not create any
additional needs for energy. However. the City's new drinking
water treatment facility which uses membrane filtration,will
increase the water system electric energy usage.
The principal energy sources associated with the planning area are
electricity, propane and petroleum. Solar and wind energy are also
being advanced as alternative energZ sources. Electrical Power,
propane and petroleum have historically all been used for heating,
lighting, operation of facilities, electrical appliances and
manufacturing.
b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy
by adjacent properties? If so, generally describe.
As a non-project action, the proposal would not affect solar energy
by adjacent properties.
C. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in
the plans of this proposal? List other proposed measures to
reduce or control energy impacts, if any:
Because the proposal is a non-project action, no specific energy
conservation measures are proposed. Future project level actions

associated with the project on a short-term or a long-term basis
(for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what
hours noise would come from the site.
Because the proposal is a non-project action it will not generate
noise on either a short or a long-term basis. However, noise levels
will inevitablV increase alon g with the overall increases in the City's
population and employment base. Growth will increase the
number of residential and business noise sources.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if
any:
Because the proposal is a non-erect action, none are proposed.
8. LAND AND SHORELINE USE
a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?
The proposal is to adopt a 2014 Water System Plan that includes
WA Department of Health required elements for ongoing
operations and maintenance of the water utility, water use
efficiency, water quality and watershed protection measures and
--providing for future water service to land within the City of Port
Townsend and areas of unincorporated Jefferson County— the
City's water service area. The purpose of the 2014 Water System
Plan 2014 WSP is to update the 2008 Water System Plan 2008
WSP for a 3-year period that will be in effect beginning September
1 2014 through September 1 2017. At the end of the period, the
Cis wafer treatment planf that complies with the USEPA's Long-
Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2) will be
completed.
The City's current plan, approved in July 2008 is comprehensive
The Washington Department of Health DOH met with the City in
March 2014 and specified sections that would be updated Other
sections do not need to be updated and will remain valid for the
length of approval of this Plan. DOH and the City agreed that the
update would be valid for three years to allow the City to install
filtration and evaluate the than es needed to the system once the
filtration system is online.
The Water System Plan is a functional element of the City
Comprehensive Plan that provides a more detailed report on
existing conditions within the City. The plan implements the goals
and policies of the Cit of Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan and
is consistent with land use regulations adopted in accordance with
the Comprehensive Plan. The City Comprehensive Plan includes
Page 20 of 30
Please print in ink or type each answer. Please do not write in EVALUATION
area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
a capital improvement element for the City of Port Townsend
Water Utility.
The Water System Plan, through provision of water service to Port
Townsend and specified areas of Jefferson County, enables
potential construction of certain residential, commercial and
industrial facilities in accordance with adopted land use
regulations. The Plan also includes a service area definition for the
out of city service area
b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe.
Because this is a non-protect review, It is unknown whether any
water related capital pLojects,-operational activities or prograrns will
impacts agricultural activities at this time.
Within the water service area Port Townsend has several
properties that are used for agricultural projection, but does not
have any land exclusively zoned for agricultural uses. Most of
these properties have individual wells that provide them with
irrigation water. In Jefferson County— outside the City limits, the
R-1 zone allows for a wide range of a ricultural uses and the R-11
zone allows selected forms of agriculture.

13. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION
a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for,
national, state, or local preservation registers known to be on or
next to the site? If so, generally describe.
Because the proposal is a non-project action it would not directly
affect historical sites.
Port Townsend contains numerous'national and state listed historic
places, with the highest concentrations occurring within the limits
of the Port Townsend National Register Historic District.
The National Register Historic District includes the downtown area
from Point Hudson to Polk Street and the area on the bluff
irregularly bounded by Kearney and Walker streets on the south
and Blaine and Taft streets on the west. There are over 700
residences and 60 commercial buildin s within the Historic District.
The downtown business area includes approximately 40 buildings
that are on the National Register of Historic Places.
The boundaries of the National Register Historic District also
encompass Point Hudson. The white clapboard buildings
constructed in 1934 were built as part of the depression-era public
works proiects and were designed to serve as a quarantine area
for the U.S. Customs operation. Another site of considerable
historic value to Port Townsend is Fort Worden State Park A1ong
with Forts Casey and Flagler, Fort Worden was among three
coastal artillery installations established in the late 1890s to protect
the entrance to Puget Sound.
As of January 1988 37 Port Townsend properties were listed on
the National Register of Historic Places. Fifty-two (52) buildings
were identified as-pivotal, prims or secondaa on the map which
accompanied the certification of the Port Townsend Historic District
in Mav of 1976 i.e. one 1 ivotal twenty-four(24Yprimary,
twenty-seven (27) secondaryj. Most of the properties listed on the
National Register are located in the Historic District and in loo
established nei hborhoods within the limits of the oti final fatted
town site.
The Washington State Office of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation lists several sites in Jefferson County in the database
Page 26 of 30
Please print in ink or type each answer. Please do not write in EVALUATION
area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
for historic, cultural, and archaeological sites. Individual proiecfs
will be reviewed through the SEPA process to avoid site impacts to
these resources.
b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic,
archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or
next to the site:
Please refer to the response to the guestion #13a, above,
regarding historic resources. To date no general archaeological
study of the City, or any major portion of it, has been conducted,
although 19th century photographs of the City suggest where
archaeologically important sites may exist. Wessen & Associates
conducted an archaeological study of the Thomas Oil site in July
1990. Although no archaeological deposits were found, the study
concluded that ' iven the paucity of known archaeological
materials in the Point Hudson area even a small remnant de osif
would have considerable historical and cultural significance."
Wessen .
C. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any:
Regardless of the proposed code amendments, existing
regulations, including the historic preservation provisions
embodied within the Waterfront Design Guidelines Overlay District
(Chapter 17.28 PTMC) and the Design Review provisions (Chapter
17.38 PTMC) of the zoning code would continue to be used to
guide development within the National Register Historic District.
14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and
describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on
site plans, if any.
Because the proposal is a non- ro"ect action. it is not directl
served by public streets. Port Townsend has approximately 100
miles of platted public ri hts-of-wa . The vast maLority of Port
Townsend's roads are neighborhood or local access roads. The
Quimper Peninsula is accessed by State Route 20 from Snow
Creek to Port Townsend and State Route 19 through the Tri Area.
The out of town water system components are accessed by US
Forest Service roads and the transmission pipeline crosses
numerous public and private rights of ways.
b. Is the site currently served by public transit? If not, what is
the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop?
Because the proposal is a non-project action, it does not directly _
Page 27 of 30
Please print in ink or type each answer. Please do not write in EVALUATION
area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
affect public transit operations.
Jefferson Transit provides service to the Planning Area and
focuses primarily upon providing public transportation services to
transit-dependent persons in Jefferson County.
C. How many parking spaces would the completed project
have? How many spaces would the project eliminate?
Because the proposal is a non-pM ect action, it does not directly
involve the creation or elimination of parkinq spaces.
d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or
improvements to existing roads or streets, not including
driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or
private).
As a non-project action, the proposal will not require new roads or
streets or improvements to roads or streets. Water system
improvements are typically scheduled to coordinate with city and
county road improvements. A growing population served by the
water system will require new and improved street access.
e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of)
water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally describe.
The proposed plan would not use water, rail, or air transportation
facilities.
f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by
the completed project? If known, indicate when peak volumes
would occur:
Because the pal is a non-project action. it would not directly
generate any vehicle trips.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation
impacts, if any:
None are proposed.
15. PUBLIC SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an increased need for public
services (for example: Fire protection, police protection, health
care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe.
Because the proposal is a non- Mject action it will not generate a
Page 28 of 30

area designated "Evaluation." FOR AGENCY
USE ONLY
requirement for increased public services. The plan provides
analysis of existing conditions with regard to water service
available for potable use and fire protection. This analysis allows
for development of improvement recommendations consistent with
the goals and policies of the City Comprehensive Plan. The Port
Townsend Comprehensive Plan defines the City's intended
measures to reduce or control impacts of.growth with regard to
water service and related public services.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on
public services, if any:
Implementation of the Capital Facilities & Utilities Element of the
Port Townsend ComprehensivePlan will reduce or control future
impacts to public services. Future project level actions which
require issuance of any state or local permit or license; and that
are not categorically exempt under Chapter 197-11-800 WAC will
be subject to review under the City's SEPA Implementin_g
Ordinance (Chapter 19.04 PTMC) and the Critical Areas Areas
(CA 0) Ordinance (Chapter 19.05 PTMC or Jefferson Count's
Comprehensive Plan. After reviewing applications for such proiect
actions. the City of Port Townsend or Jefferson County may
determine that mitigation measures are necessary to avoid
probable significant adverse environmental impacts.
16. UTILITIES
a. Check which utilities are currently available at the site:
X Electricity ❑ Natural Gas X Water X Refuse Service
X Telephone X Septic System X Sanitary Sewer ❑ Other
With the exception of piped natural gas, all of the above listed
utilities are found within a portion of, or throughout, the Port
Townsend Planning Area. For more detailed information. please
refer to the Comprehensive Plan.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the
utility providing the service, and the general construction activities
on the site or in the immediate vicinity that might be needed.
As growth and development occurs, demands for public services
will increase. The Capital Facilities & Utilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan is intended to ensure that new growth and
development is provided with adequate public services and
facilities concurrent with the approval of new development. The
water system '-'iarx for the out-of-city service area describes the
provisions the utility will make to meet the needs of.growth based
on Jefferson County future land use regulation.

Because these questions are very general, so it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with
the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities
likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity of at a faster rate
than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
The proposed adoption of the 2014 Water System Plan will not alter any existing
requirements for environmental review under Chapters 19.04 or 19.05 PTMC (i.e., the
SEPA Implementing Ordinance and the Critical Areas Ordinance). Environmental
review for plan related proposals in the out-of-city service area would be conducted
under existing Jefferson County Ordinances. These provisions will continue to be
employed in the review and mitigation of individual project applications. Possible
indirect effects of the proposed action relating to water, air, environmental health, and
noise are summarized below:
Withdrawal and/or Discharges to Water:
The City of Port Townsend Water System Plan outlines a program to utilize existing
surface water and groundwater rights. No additional withdrawal or discharges to water
are proposed in the Water System Plan.
Emissions to air, release o 'toxic or hazardous substances and noise:
The potential adverse environmental impacts of urban growth relating to increased
emissions are not significant as discussed in the Port Townsend Comprehensive Plan.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
Withdrawals o Sur ace and Ground Water:
The Conservation Chapter of the Water System Plan outlines the City's programs to
promote the efficient use of water resources.
City of Port Townsend Water System Plan Update:\\citygis\PWEngineering\Water\Water System Plan\SEPA review\2014 update\SEPA
Supplemental Sheet for Non-Project Actions 2014 WSP Update 05.27.14.doc
Page 1
Emissions to air, release o toxic or hazardous substance, and noise:
No measures are proposed beyond project specific environmental review and
enforcement of implementing ordinances in compliance with the City Comprehensive
Plan.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The Water System Plan will not directly affect plants, animals,fish or marine life.
Growth and development within the service area may negatively impact plant and animal
populations. Surface water withdrawals at the Big and Little Quilcene Rivers could
impact these resources through lower instream flows that affect salmonid migration,
spawning and rearing habitat- although flow restrictions are in place through a Special
Use Permit with the US Forest Service - that will mitigate these impacts.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
Adoption of this Water System Plan would not require inclusion of any specific measures
to conserve plants, animals,fish, or marine life. However the plan recognizes and
incorporates the recommendations of the Dungeness/Quilcene Water Resources Pilot
Plan and Watershed Management Plan for the Quilcene-Snow Water Resource Inventory
Area (WRIA-17).
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
The proposal would not directly deplete energy or natural resources, except through
water use. Growth and development in the service area will consume energy and natural

I. PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION
The City of Port Townsend is seeking to adopt a Water System Plan(WSP)update. The purpose
of the WSP update is, in part,to ensure compliance with requirements set forth by the
Washington State Department of Health(WDOH) under the state's administrative rules found in
Chapter 246-290-100 WAC. Specifically,the 2014 WSP update provides:
• Basic planning data, such as population and service connections, production and
consumption amounts, and major users;
• A systems analysis of capacity factors that affect overall water system operation;
• A 3-year Capital Improvement Plan(CIP) outlining planned system improvements; and,
• A corresponding 3-year budget, with a summary of the current rate structure and rate
changes necessary to fund the planned capital improvements.
The adoption of this document is a non-project action designed to improve and update the 2008
WSP adopted by the City Council via Ordinance 2954.
II. PERMITS/APPROVALS REQUIRED PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION
While not a construction-oriented proposal, approval of the 20104 Water System Plan update by
Port Townsend City Council and Washington State Department of Health(WA DOH) is
required.
Subsequent capital improvement projects, including extension of water lines greater than 10"
3
diameter, may be subject to further project-level SEPA review unless they are found to be
categorically exempt under Chapter 197-11-800 WAC. Where system projects would occur
within the City's water service area lying outside of city limits, permits from Jefferson County
may be required. Some projects related to surface water diversion or storage may require
Hydraulic Project Approval from the Washington State department of Fish and Wildlife.
III. PUBLIC COMMENT
No public comment was received in response to the Notice of Pending Threshold Determination
(Exhibit Q.
IV. RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL'S AMENDMENTS TO CHECKLIST ITEMS
The applicant's environmental checklist is incorporated by reference. Two (2) prior SEPA.
Threshold Determinations were issued as part of the adoption process for the 1998 and 2008
Water System Plans. Both of these prior determinations are adopted by reference.
Consistent with the requirements of WAC 197-The following discussion is intended to address
potential environmental impacts not addressed by the environmental checklist.
The checklist covers the potential significant environmental impacts resulting from the Water
System Plan. Following adoption of this plan, other detailed regulations that implement the plan
may be developed. Future SEPA reviews may be required for project actions undertaken to
implement the adopted Plan(i.e., construction of capital facilities).
V. ANALYSIS AND THRESHOLD DETERMINATION
The Environmental Checklist(Exhibit A) adequately addresses the environmental impacts of the
proposed Plan. Subsequent non-exempt project actions will require separate, individualized
SEPA review. No probable significant adverse impact on the environment have been identified,
therefore issuance of a Determination of Non-significance is warranted.
