Susan, was it my understanding that Ethan wasn't going to be available for this meeting today? 12 00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:51,780 Yes, that's correct. And then just so everybody else is on the same page, Jessica Hudson, who has been filling in for Kendra is also not going to be here today. 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:01,480 She is on vacation for the week. And then Jane will also not be making it. So we'll be a little short on some of the staff here. 14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:12,100 Okay, very good. And then the first item of business is approval of the August agenda. 15 00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:17,060 Is there any anything additions or subtractions for that today? 16 00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:27,380 Yeah, actually, I forgot to mention because it's been a few months that our new members were accepted in June. 17 00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:30,060 So it might be kind of fun to get some intros for those two. 18 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,560 Well, there were three, but we can kind of update you on that as we go here. 19 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,120 So maybe just adding that kind of next agenda. 20 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,440 Okay. 21 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:51,180 The business question I have for you on that, Susan, is with new members and the agenda 22 00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:57,220 And approving the minutes from the previous meeting, is there a problem for them voting 23 00:01:57,220 --> 00:01:58,720 without having been here? 24 00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:00,380 Do you know? 25 00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:03,760 I don't think, I mean. 26 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,660 I would probably abstain from voting for the previous minutes as there were in attendance. 27 00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:15,100 Yeah, and I guess there's still a forum technically, so they wouldn't be, yeah, 28 00:02:15,140 --> 00:02:18,340 they would abstain and then the rest could still fill in the votes. 29 00:02:18,620 --> 00:02:18,840 Yeah. 30 00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:19,160 Okay. 31 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:28,000 to approve it. Okay. Cool. So, well, let's go ahead and do a bit of a round table and then we'll do 32 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,900 the approval of minutes if that's okay. 33 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:42,670 Yeah, I can start.

It 65 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:29,300 looks like next on the agenda then is LIO liaison for Kaye. 66 00:05:31,950 --> 00:05:36,190 Yeah, Kaye is actually part of our team and she wanted to come on to speak a 67 00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:39,330 little bit today. We spoke about this a little bit in our last regular meeting 68 00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:43,210 but it was sort of at the end and of course June was pretty busy so we wanted 69 00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:48,410 to give her some time. So she technically works with us and with the Marine Department 70 00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:53,550 and Environmental Stewardship as the grants and program coordinator. So I'll give it to Katie. 71 00:05:55,150 --> 00:05:59,110 Thanks Susan and thanks for having me this morning. Good morning Clean Water folks. 72 00:05:59,650 --> 00:06:03,550 My name is Katie Johnson. I'm a Marine Project Coordinator here with San Juan County 73 00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:09,250 and I serve as our LIO coordinator. I just want to take a few minutes to talk to you about 74 00:06:09,250 --> 00:06:11,770 what the LIO or local integrating 75 00:06:11,770 --> 00:06:14,450 organization is and why I think 76 00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:15,730 it would be great to have 77 00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:17,110 somebody from clean water help 78 00:06:17,970 --> 00:06:19,070 fill in on that committee. 79 00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:20,890 So at its simplest our local 80 00:06:20,890 --> 00:06:22,730 integrating organization is 81 00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:23,570 San Juan county's 82 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:25,270 connection to the larger Puget 83 00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:26,490 sound recovery effort. 84 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:28,230 It brings together local 85 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:29,810 partners to identify 86 00:06:29,810 --> 00:06:31,230 environmental issues that are 87 00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:32,430 most important to our 88 00:06:32,430 --> 00:06:33,850 community and then to 89 00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:35,470 coordinate action around them. 90 00:06:35,910 --> 00:06:37,310 And our local integrating 91 00:06:37,310 --> 00:06:38,730 organization is a nice 92 00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:40,770 cross-section of community and 93 00:06:40,770 --> 00:06:42,210 government employees and includes 94 00:06:42,210 --> 00:06:44,530 local government, local tribal 95 00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:46,130 government, nonprofits, 96 00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:47,830 community organizations, 97 00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:50,990 community members, support and 98 00:06:50,990 --> 00:06:51,830 other representatives. 99 00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:53,810 We look at all issues that are 100 00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:56,290 impacting the ecosystem, like 101 00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:57,770 healthy shorelines, water 102 00:06:57,770 --> 00:06:59,890 quality, habitat, protecting 103 00:06:59,890 --> 00:07:01,630 marine resources and resilience 104 00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:02,310 for the future. 105 00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:06,570 Something about our LIO is 106 00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:07,370 that it's not just another 107 00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:11,230 meeting to kind of sit around and talk about problems, but really intended to move these 108 00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:15,770 priorities into action. We developed these action plans, which are kind of a snapshot 109 00:07:15,770 --> 00:07:21,190 planning effort based on different topics in the action agenda, which is kind of the overarching 110 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:27,770 document or guide for Puget Sound Recovery. And the Clean Water Advisory Committee has a 111 00:07:27,770 --> 00:07:32,910 really important and valuable perspective on water quality and watershed issues. In each 112 00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:38,270 LIO, there are 10 throughout the Puget Sound region, they're watershed-based, and so it'd 113 00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:44,690 be great to have representation from clean water on that committee, and the benefit goes 114 00:07:44,690 --> 00:07:51,330 both ways. So the liaison can bring the priorities of clean water to the LIO, but they can also 115 00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:55,450 bring information back here about what's happening regionally, about different funding 116 00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:59,750 opportunities, new initiatives, and opportunities to partner with organizations. 117 00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:10,310 So the LIO is all about kind of breaking down different silos and convening people together to make sure the right people are in the room to have conversations about these different environmental topics. 118 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:19,950 And so I don't see this as like someone taking on a whole new environmental program, but it really is a bridge between the two groups that are already working towards some similar goals. 119 00:08:19,950 --> 00:08:35,830 And I know we all have limited time and resources, so finding those connections are really important to help coordinate our efforts to help share information, to identify opportunities that we can work together and accomplish more than any just like individual one group could do on its own. 120 00:08:36,530 --> 00:08:40,010 And I know that Kim Boll has served on our LIO 121 00:08:40,010 --> 00:08:41,990 for the last few years, and it's been a really valuable 122 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:42,790 member of the group. 123 00:08:42,970 --> 00:08:45,050 And so, Kim, I don't know if you want to speak to anything 124 00:08:45,050 --> 00:08:47,110 about what it's been like to serve on the LIO. 125 00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:48,350 It's the clean water member. 126 00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:52,910 But yeah, that's what I got. 127 00:08:53,570 --> 00:08:53,970 Yeah. 128 00:08:54,430 --> 00:08:56,710 Oh, it's just torturous working with you, Katie. 129 00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:58,610 No, Katie, just Katie. 130 00:08:59,170 --> 00:09:00,630 No, it's a good group of people. 131 00:09:01,370 --> 00:09:02,450 They meet regularly. 132 00:09:03,730 --> 00:09:07,090 There's definitely an agenda focused on 133 00:09:07,090 --> 00:09:16,870 getting things done. It cuts across not only the county but also the state and the tribes and 134 00:09:18,330 --> 00:09:21,970 so yeah some of the past accomplishments have been getting 135 00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:31,910 really important vessel traffic study done for Herald Strait and Boundary Strait about 136 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:42,750 the impacts of oil and cargo transportation and those straits and the 137 00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:46,950 perils to the San Juan Islands if there's an oil spill or an accident that 138 00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:54,490 occurs in those and it's affected decisions by ecology. We wish it would 139 00:09:54,490 --> 00:09:59,910 affect more decisions by ecology but we definitely have a good basis for making 140 00:09:59,910 --> 00:10:05,430 an argument that the San Juan's are, you know, in a very vulnerable position as far as Canadian 141 00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:11,610 cargo traffic, and that's going to be really ramping up with their new oil terminal proposal 142 00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:13,050 for the Fraser River Delta. 143 00:10:15,370 --> 00:10:20,990 Some other projects have involved, you know, getting funding for, I think, the septic 144 00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:27,210 system evaluation was really important to figure out which septic systems were vulnerable 145 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:34,950 in the shoreline to leaching into the water and also with sea level rise, which 146 00:10:34,950 --> 00:10:40,530 ones will be vulnerable and it's gotten a grant program for helping people who 147 00:10:40,530 --> 00:10:45,610 don't have the economic means to revamp their septic systems to make them some 148 00:10:45,610 --> 00:10:50,590 funding available to help them with updating their shoreline septic systems. 149 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:59,790 Yeah, so a lot of policy issues, but it's being translated into action, which is kind 150 00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:04,270 of like what I like to be involved in, rather than just sort of job owning stuff. 151 00:11:05,050 --> 00:11:15,490 And also, there's a regional, help me with the name, but it's the regional action group, 152 00:11:15,490 --> 00:11:22,210 which is made up of a lot of decision makers from Olympia and from Down Sound that have actually 153 00:11:22,210 --> 00:11:30,390 come to the San Juan's and put on their two-day workshop with San Juan folks and become very 154 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:36,170 aware of the issues in the San Juan's and how we're different from the other counties. And 155 00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:43,850 that's translated into legislation and into governor, you know, attention to action. And 156 00:11:43,850 --> 00:11:46,970 And so that's really important to have that kind of focus too. 157 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:50,470 Yeah. 158 00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:51,030 Thank you, Kim. 159 00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:54,450 That's the Ecosystem Coordination Board at the state level. 160 00:11:55,050 --> 00:11:56,730 It's been really nice to have participation. 161 00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:02,990 So we're looking for somebody to take over Kim's role as liaison with the LIO and you 162 00:12:02,990 --> 00:12:09,250 don't have to be an expert in all things LIO but just like furious, ready to get 163 00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:14,390 engaged and willing to bring this committee's perspective into the conversation and to 164 00:12:14,390 --> 00:12:19,750 that information back and forth. So I'll drop my email in the chat. I'm happy to 165 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:24,630 answer any questions people have or discuss this further or give you more 166 00:12:24,630 --> 00:12:28,110 information about all of what it entails. So any 167 00:12:30,670 --> 00:12:31,010 questions? 168 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,540 I don't know if you 169 00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:42,580 mentioned when you meet usually. Oh I did not. So our LIO meets in 170 00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:46,640 conjunction with our Marine Resource Committee and our citizens group for 171 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:52,580 same-in recovery. They meet the first Thursday of the month. The typical meetings are 9 to 172 00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:58,540 noon. The LAO portion is usually towards the end. So it's kind of like roughly one hour for each of 173 00:12:58,540 --> 00:13:06,620 those groups. But typically our LAO meetings are pretty brief and abbreviated since a lot more 174 00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:12,120 happens within the Marine Resource Committee and with same-in recovery efforts. But the 175 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,060 first Thursday of the month, nine to noon is when the LAO meets. 176 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:25,290 Great. Thank you, Katie. Anybody else have any questions regarding that? 177 00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:30,270 Okay. Moving 178 00:13:30,270 --> 00:13:38,470 along then, it looks like without, that we move to Tyler for an update from the 179 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:44,790 environmental stewardship. Sure. Thanks, Bob. Morning, everybody. Yeah. Tyler is 180 00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:48,530 standing in for Kendra, give a little update on where things are in the 181 00:13:48,530 --> 00:13:54,990 department. Firstly, I'll just say the fare was a success. I saw some of you there. 182 00:13:55,930 --> 00:13:59,730 Those have been makes you missed out. It's always a good time. Great weather, 183 00:13:59,950 --> 00:14:04,630 wasn't too hot this year, and our booth looked great. We had a swir in the 184 00:14:04,630 --> 00:14:08,870 Green Village. The booth looked really good this year. Thanks to, thanks to 185 00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:12,830 Kitty Johnson and Frankie and Angela for putting things up and getting it 186 00:14:12,830 --> 00:14:19,270 set up and yeah we had some good traffic I don't during my shifts it felt a 187 00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:21,750 little slower than past years I think that's actually because we're in a 188 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:25,290 shaded area and when it's really hot and past years people come to the shaded 189 00:14:25,290 --> 00:14:29,490 Green Village area to seek little refuge and being cooler this year it was 190 00:14:29,490 --> 00:14:33,750 didn't drive as many people that way but it's all about quality over 191 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:36,410 quantity anyway so we had a lot of good conversations with the folks that 192 00:14:36,410 --> 00:14:41,410 did come our our way and shared some of the work that we're doing in 193 00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:47,370 water, but then also, you know, the nexus within our department with other divisions. So like how 194 00:14:47,370 --> 00:14:54,370 Angela Broderick is spearheading the climate action plan, and yeah, just a good amount of exposure 195 00:14:54,370 --> 00:14:59,890 to folks that decided to stop by. Related 196 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:27,900 The Great Islands Cleanup, next big event, Great Islands Cleanup is coming up on September 26th, Saturday, September 26th, so if you have an opportunity to take it out and clean up along your roadside or local beach or your local stream, trash can get washed down streams, please do that and help us clean up the islands on September 26th. 197 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:36,720 Let's see, the last time we met, we discussed the capital improvement plan. That's all progressing. 198 00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:42,260 Our next step is calculating the service fee, the clean water utility service fee, 199 00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:48,060 which has a number of moving parts, one of which is determining the equivalent service 200 00:15:48,060 --> 00:15:56,280 units or ESUs, which our GIS team is working on now with Susan's help. So once we have 201 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:03,600 of those numbers, the ESUs, you can plug them into the equation and hopefully get an idea 202 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,700 of what our service fees will be by island for next year and that will then be taken 203 00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:17,620 to council on September 8th, that's the Tuesday after Memorial Day weekend, we'll keep mixing 204 00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:22,100 that up this later night, but anyway, that first day after Memorial Day weekend is 205 00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:25,420 when we'll go in front of council to discuss 206 00:16:25,420 --> 00:16:29,720 the couple improvement plan and hopefully get it approved 207 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,560 by county council. 208 00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:35,140 Let's see. 209 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,420 Bob, you asked about Kendra and her status. 210 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,560 Yep, she's still on leave. 211 00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:45,160 That's about all we know at this stage. 212 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:49,220 So yeah, we don't have any other information. 213 00:16:49,820 --> 00:16:55,360 unfortunately we don't know if she win or if she's returning at this stage. So 214 00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:01,060 we're just all proceeding forward and sorry that she's not here of course we 215 00:17:01,060 --> 00:17:07,360 miss her but she seems from what we've heard she's her time off has been good 216 00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:13,260 for her she's doing quite well and and yeah don't don't know when or if she'll 217 00:17:13,260 --> 00:17:18,940 be back though unfortunately. A couple other staffing updates which I'll 218 00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:25,140 actually turn over to my colleagues to provide on their behalf. 219 00:17:25,860 --> 00:17:26,960 You want to go first, May? 220 00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:28,720 Sure. 221 00:17:28,980 --> 00:17:35,500 I think me and Susan have similar updates, but I have put in my notice of resignation 222 00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:36,860 for environmental stewardship. 223 00:17:37,780 --> 00:17:41,120 So in early September will be my last day with the department. 224 00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:47,620 So I've been working on some clean water capital improvement projects, and so I'm 225 00:17:47,620 --> 00:17:53,460 open to package these up with the time I have left and hopefully be able to handle or hand 226 00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:56,600 them off so that we can continue working on them. 227 00:17:57,020 --> 00:18:01,500 And so, yeah, I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed my time here and I've really 228 00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:03,980 enjoyed these meetings as well. 229 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:10,060 They've been a really eye-opening look into clean water here in the county. 230 00:18:10,420 --> 00:18:15,980 And so, yeah, I just encourage you all to keep doing this great work and thank 231 00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:22,100 you for all the effort you've put in and are continuing to put in for these important projects. 232 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,600 And well, similar news for me. I actually just put in my six weeks, so I'll be finishing at 233 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:38,380 the end of September. And very similar things that I'm going to say is you guys are really 234 00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:43,020 amazing and wonderful and we're really grateful to have you. I've learned so much from this 235 00:18:43,020 --> 00:18:48,140 group. I've been here for a little over three years now, so it's going to be really hard to leave. 236 00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:53,880 I don't really have a plan after this. I just sort of need to break, I think, from government at 237 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,660 this point, if I'm being honest. So we're going to slow down and switch it up. I don't know what 238 00:18:57,660 --> 00:19:01,880 that's going to look like yet, but I still am passionate about the work that we're doing. 239 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,600 I just don't know exactly how I'm going to get involved in it in the future. 240 00:19:06,620 --> 00:19:11,920 But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing everybody around and about. I'll be here for the 241 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,800 September subcommittee meeting but then I'll be passing over my role as a facilitator to 242 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,900 either Tyler or whoever we get to replace our positions because it's such a strange transition 243 00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:29,400 that's happening right now with our department. We're not exactly sure what that's going to 244 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,660 look like specifically whether or not our specific positions will be replaced or not 245 00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:38,520 but we will let you guys know as that kind of goes along here. 246 00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:40,780 But yeah, thanks. 247 00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,600 Yeah. Thank you, Susan. Thanks, Nick. 248 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:48,580 And I think I hope I speak for everybody when I say thank you to both of you for all your help with Clean Water. 249 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:56,020 I really appreciate it. We're really sorry to see you guys go, but you have our full support in your next steps in our next chapters. 250 00:19:57,580 --> 00:20:03,920 And yeah, as far as the roles go, obviously with the county in a budget crunch. 251 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,080 There hasn't been a hiring freeze formally imposed by council. 252 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,400 And even if there was, I think that there would be some wiggle room here because these 253 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,920 are roles that are funded by utility, not by county current. 254 00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:20,940 So it doesn't have an impact on the county general fund. 255 00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:29,360 And as far as I know, we will have the opportunity to refill these positions in due course. 256 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:34,540 And with Susan being here for another six weeks, 257 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,040 there might be an opportunity to have a little overlap 258 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,300 and transition, which could be beneficial as well. 259 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,160 But that's, yeah, to be determined at this stage. 260 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,480 And I see your hand up. 261 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,820 Is that related to this? 262 00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:48,360 Yeah, I have a couple of questions. 263 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:52,320 One is who is the first person 264 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,780 who is offering his resignation? 265 00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:54,920 I didn't catch the name. 266 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:55,820 Oh, it was Nick. 267 00:20:56,860 --> 00:20:57,600 Nick who? 268 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,900 Nick Walsh, Environmental Engineering Tech with the Department. 269 00:21:04,540 --> 00:21:08,520 Somehow, my phone doesn't have a great speaker. Would you spell your last name? 270 00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:11,940 Yeah, it's Walsh, W-A-L-S-H. 271 00:21:12,180 --> 00:21:16,020 Okay. The S-H's don't come clear over my phone. 272 00:21:16,540 --> 00:21:21,180 The other question I had was the service fee. 273 00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:28,020 Is that charged per individual property or how is that service fee? 274 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,540 And what is it and how is it paid out? 275 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,560 So it's determined based on equivalent service units or ESU, 276 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:46,100 which is a measure of impervious surface on a property where one ESU is 10,000 square feet or less. 277 00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:53,620 And then on properties with more than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface, it's then a ratio. 278 00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:02,300 So, you know, if you have another thousand square feet, then it's 1.1 ESUs for that parcel. 279 00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:14,780 And so that's how ESUs are determined, and that is then how the fee is applied to a parcel that's based on that ESU. 280 00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:16,580 So it's a parcel fee. 281 00:22:17,260 --> 00:22:18,200 Yeah, it's bipartisan. 282 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,140 All right, thank you. 283 00:22:26,350 --> 00:22:27,170 Any other questions? 284 00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:32,320 Yeah, Bob. 285 00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:39,100 Tyler, has there been any discussion between you and 286 00:22:39,980 --> 00:22:45,140 Ethan regarding Cascade Creek and the setting up the monitoring? 287 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:47,280 Has that gone anywhere yet or are we still? 288 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,260 No, not yet. 289 00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:57,880 I think we need to kind of maybe discuss, we can discuss now, but yeah, some sort of formalization of that. 290 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:10,540 I don't know if we call a sub, it's not really a subcommittee since it would involve some members who aren't active CWAC members, including Vicki and Kim, 291 00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:15,040 of everybody else. I think Kim also wanted to be a part of that, but so maybe it's like 292 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,800 a working group, not sure we technically call it, but if we can get that formalized, then 293 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:27,660 we have this little working group that can help direct that program. It's not really 294 00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:32,560 a project, more a program. It's going to be more programmatic. On my side, I've been 295 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:37,720 just looking into the budget and kind of the CIP as we've approved it. I think 296 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:43,620 it's fairly simple to work this into it and then to also have make sure that I'm operating 297 00:23:43,620 --> 00:23:49,340 side of our budget. We have the funds to continue the program because obviously there's staff 298 00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:55,000 time involved and we need to make sure we've got the funds moving forward for that. But 299 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:01,200 we're sitting pretty well with the utility so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't 300 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,700 think this is going to be too financially onerous to pick this up and get it going. 301 00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:11,220 We just need direction from the experts in the room on monitoring how to set it up. 302 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,620 And I think that we just need to get that group all together in the same room, 303 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,640 in a meeting and chart our way forward. 304 00:24:23,490 --> 00:24:26,270 And that would be Vicki, who I see is here in the meeting. 305 00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:32,190 Vicki, if you want to speak to that, I think this is something that initially came up 306 00:24:32,190 --> 00:24:35,070 that you brought to attention of the CWAC a couple of meetings ago. 307 00:24:35,070 --> 00:24:41,670 So, if you want to give anything you want to add, please invite you to chime in and Kim was interested. 308 00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:52,070 I think Jenny, the group was interested in being part of that as well and just be a small working group kind of, yeah, guiding, guiding stream and monitoring. 309 00:24:56,230 --> 00:25:05,310 Yeah, I hope you guys can hear me. I'm on the beach right now. Yeah, I look forward to working with that group and putting that program together. Thanks a lot. 310 00:25:05,310 --> 00:25:05,430 All right. 311 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:15,520 I think our next step will just be maybe what I'll do where Susan will reach out to the 312 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:22,380 folks who showed interest in that and we'll get a kind of a formalized structure on the 313 00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:29,400 books, a meeting, and then by next, our next CWAC meeting we'll have something a little 314 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,160 more substantive to share. 315 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,420 Okay, thank you, Tyler. 316 00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:41,020 Any more questions for Tyler? 317 00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:48,960 Ethan's gone. Next up is Krista Chavez. How are you Krista? 318 00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:56,200 Hello. Thanks for having me. Hi all. Krista Chavez and Planner at the Office of Drinking Water at the State Health Department. 319 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:08,240 I guess a few updates. One, Office of Drinking Water is undertaking the needs assessment, which happens every four years by the EPA. 320 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:28,960 So what happens is we interview small, medium and large water systems, we go through, we find what projects we need to have, just so we can understand the monetary need, financial need for infrastructure updates. 321 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:36,960 There's currently no systems that are in the San Juan Islands that are going to be part of this process this time around. 322 00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:41,920 but it is a kind of a big undertaking for our office. 323 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,700 So if we seem a little busy, 324 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,780 it's because we are working hard to complete this. 325 00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:48,620 I think we're gonna try and get it all done by February, 326 00:26:49,420 --> 00:26:52,480 but this should hopefully, if we do it right, 327 00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:55,960 we can access more federal money 328 00:26:56,540 --> 00:26:59,180 for our Drinking Water State Revolving Fund 329 00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:01,440 and other parts of our program. 330 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:01,540 time. 331 00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:12,980 Another update is we have, we just finished three community meetings or just informational 332 00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:19,260 meetings that EPA found I think in 2021 that our definition of public water system doesn't 333 00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:26,600 totally align with theirs. And while this also doesn't impact San Juan area as much, 334 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,820 it's impacting the Yakima Valley because the portion that's going to get updated 335 00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:38,840 is really focusing on the same farm worker exemption piece where we've allowed farms with 336 00:27:39,420 --> 00:27:44,120 four or fewer residential structures serving that same farm to not be regulated as public 337 00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:50,660 water system. But I guess we have not, we have a number of farms that actually should be public 338 00:27:50,660 --> 00:27:57,140 water systems. So we are starting the process to update our WAC and in the future you'll see 339 00:27:57,140 --> 00:28:03,140 the biggest change to that table one in fact 246,290,020. 340 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:04,920 And 341 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,300 we lost her. 342 00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:15,260 And 343 00:28:43,540 --> 00:28:46,340 everybody else, yeah, mute themselves up and great. Thanks. 344 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,760 We lost her. 345 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,640 Maybe lost Krista, Bob, so we can probably 346 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:20,920 move ahead in the agenda until she comes back. Okay. Is there a representative? I don't see 347 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:27,640 Kelly on board unless I'm missing her. Is somebody else on board for Department of Ecology? 348 00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:33,040 I also invited Jeff Cedarbaum but I'm not seeing him either so I'll go ahead and just kind of do 349 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:38,980 a little reminder email just saying that we would still want to have them present or and if they 350 00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:43,860 can't attend then maybe they can just give us an email updates either way that would be great 351 00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:45,580 to have more contact with them 352 00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:53,520 the only thing I'll put out there I heard that 353 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:59,980 there was official approval of the Hanna Heights well and that 354 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,300 They're able to move forward with their project as far as transferring water from Baylor Hill 355 00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:17,980 Road up to their location. I think that they're moving forward with the pipeline and hopefully 356 00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:21,040 will be pumping water into their tank soon. Clean water. 357 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,080 It was a long, long arduous trip 358 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:32,800 there as far as through the source water approval and monitoring and such. 359 00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:44,800 Hi, sorry about that, everybody. My phone died and then I couldn't access my audio. I'm back. 360 00:30:45,380 --> 00:30:50,120 Confirming what Bob Eakin said, we did get confirmation from Ecology. They sent us the 361 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,460 water rate permit for that new well. So it appears things are going forward, which is great 362 00:30:54,460 --> 00:31:04,200 And if anyone has any questions on the two pieces I mentioned before, please feel to reach out. I also wanted to mention. 363 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:12,220 San Juan County was able to access some of our grant funding for source water protection, which is awesome. 364 00:31:12,780 --> 00:31:20,000 And we also have seen a push from water systems reaching out to access this grant money too. 365 00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:29,440 We have money available, it's very easy relative to our other funding to access and can be used 366 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:36,620 for modeling of your source water, time of travel areas and others, but I can put some 367 00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:40,900 information in our website if you know any water systems that are looking for help. 368 00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:51,940 In that area, this money is still around for now, and it is grant and not alone. So that's great. I'll put it in the chat. 369 00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:59,920 That's all. Excuse me, for what area? For what? What's the general focus of this grant money? 370 00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:09,660 Yeah, it's source water protection. So it can be hydrogeological assessments, water quality assessments like watershed protection. 371 00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:25,700 And yeah, the county is going to access it to do some of the groundwater monitoring on Lopez and with another area I'm blanking on, but yeah, it's, it can be pretty open. 372 00:32:25,940 --> 00:32:35,820 There are what we can funds, but there's very specific things we can't fund like land purchase to protect the water, etc. 373 00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:41,860 but so feel free to read through the guidelines that I'll put in the chat and 374 00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:45,900 then if you know of any area that can really use this forward it along. 375 00:32:47,460 --> 00:32:49,900 May I ask your name if you don't mind please? 376 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,400 Yeah, Krista Shah is at the State Health Department. 377 00:32:55,140 --> 00:32:56,260 Okay, thank you. 378 00:33:12,020 --> 00:33:13,640 Anything further Krista? 379 00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:17,150 Nope, that was it. 380 00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:18,650 Any other questions? 381 00:33:21,430 --> 00:33:26,050 Okay. And so no representatives from ecology, it sounds like. 382 00:33:26,730 --> 00:33:27,050 That's right. 383 00:33:29,890 --> 00:33:32,870 Cool. Alrighty. Subcommittee updates. 384 00:33:35,940 --> 00:33:41,880 I'll just chime in here and say that since there wasn't a subcommittee in July, there's not a ton of updates for that. 385 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,340 but as far as just subcommittees in general, 386 00:33:46,340 --> 00:33:50,040 because we had a large turnover at the moment, 387 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,440 we'll just go ahead and have our new joining members 388 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,760 join the surface water subcommittee now, 389 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,920 just because a large amount of members 390 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,300 who left were part of that. 391 00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:02,500 So just kind of fill in that subcommittee for now. 392 00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:09,260 And then we met with Ethan Schmidt of the health department 393 00:34:09,260 --> 00:34:22,200 And he had sort of mentioned before that since there was a large turnover in the health department, there were some inconsistent roles with how the subcommittees were being handled. 394 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:29,160 And I know that in the past, I believe Vicki here has been helping him facilitate the groundwater subcommittee. 395 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,540 And so we just had a meeting and made sure to clarify all of that. 396 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,260 So he is happy to take on facilitating the groundwater subcommittee. 397 00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:42,820 So you'll hear more specifically from him in the coming months. 398 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,140 So for September, he'll be reaching out to those subcommittee members to schedule meetings 399 00:34:47,140 --> 00:34:47,640 with them. 400 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,120 And I believe it should still be on the same day and time. 401 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,340 He did send out an email to those respected people to make sure that that was okay 402 00:34:56,340 --> 00:34:56,840 with everyone. 403 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,300 So, yeah. 404 00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,720 Great. 405 00:35:03,830 --> 00:35:04,350 Thank you. 406 00:35:04,350 --> 00:35:04,910 Thank you, Susan. 407 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:10,970 So any other new business then? 408 00:35:10,970 --> 00:35:11,870 I 409 00:35:19,070 --> 00:35:25,350 think the new business is probably that grant availability and trying to get the word 410 00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:28,870 out to group domestic systems. 411 00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:32,550 I've gone through that grant process for the Grange Hall over here, and we're going 412 00:35:32,550 --> 00:35:38,030 to be testing that well and monitoring wells in that area in September. 413 00:35:39,130 --> 00:35:46,390 And that well is challenged because of the landfill over here, so it'll be quite 414 00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:52,190 interesting to see how that transpires once the work is completed. We should have reports 415 00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:59,350 for it sometime, I would guess, in October, November or something like that. But it's 416 00:35:59,350 --> 00:36:04,170 nice that Grange Hall certainly doesn't have the money to do that kind of work and the 417 00:36:04,170 --> 00:36:10,570 grant was about the only way for them to move forward as far as trying to get their 418 00:36:10,570 --> 00:36:19,050 well in a clean source and approval. So yeah. 419 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,820 So any housekeeping information updates that way? 420 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:38,160 I think just the big one is that since our third newer member Kenneth Blair has decided not to join 421 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:44,660 us to the health reasons. We're a little low on members specifically on Lopez. So if anyone 422 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:52,500 is going to keep an eye out that would be great. I've got another potential person from Sanlon that's 423 00:36:52,500 --> 00:36:57,040 looking into applying at the end of this summer. So in the next couple of months here hopefully 424 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,980 we've reached out and have been chatting a little bit but if anybody has any contacts 425 00:37:01,980 --> 00:37:05,880 from Lopez that would be great. I did get a few contacts that I'll be reaching out 426 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,660 to for rainwater collection through Canada. So I'll keep you updated on that. 427 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,120 All 428 00:37:28,460 --> 00:37:32,300 right. Any other public comment or information we need to go over? 429 00:37:40,220 --> 00:37:44,680 Kimmel? Yeah, Bob, I just wanted 430 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:52,060 to ask you about Hannah Heights, whether you knew that, whether there was going to be any more 431 00:37:52,060 --> 00:37:59,640 monitoring done on the contaminated well over there, including any migration of that PFOS 432 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:09,480 off the site to other other well wells in the area I don't I think that there 433 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:14,880 is but it hasn't been in my poor view as far as that goes I think it's from a 434 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:22,840 different department in ecology and I'm not even quite sure Paul if you get 435 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,200 Paul's last name is probably the one to communicate with from Hannah Heights 436 00:38:30,140 --> 00:38:37,340 As far as what's going on in that department, they've been so focused on trying to get this 437 00:38:37,340 --> 00:38:45,160 well approved that trying to figure out the migration and the cleanup has not been on their 438 00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:46,080 radar. 439 00:38:46,380 --> 00:38:52,620 But I think it certainly is with ecology, but I'm not sure who at ecology is even 440 00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:00,660 taken that bull by the horns, if you will, because it hasn't been the sourcewater approval 441 00:39:00,660 --> 00:39:04,380 people. It's been from a different department, as I understand it. 442 00:39:06,620 --> 00:39:13,760 Would that migration or study, monitoring study be possibly funded by this grant program 443 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,200 that Krista was talking about? 444 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,240 I don't think so. I mean, it'd be worth looking into, but I don't think so because 445 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,120 because I think that's more on the cleanup side. 446 00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:25,060 Yeah. 447 00:39:25,660 --> 00:39:30,460 And do they have liability, the property owners for the cleanup, or has that all been taken 448 00:39:30,460 --> 00:39:31,440 over by the state? 449 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,260 I don't honestly know that either. 450 00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:39,640 I mean, they weren't the ones that dumped the contaminant, so it seems like it would 451 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:45,660 be difficult to put the onus on them as far as their well-being contaminated 452 00:39:45,660 --> 00:39:51,480 by the, you know, it was essentially the fire district, as I understand it. 453 00:39:51,680 --> 00:40:04,040 It sounds like it's in ecology's wheelhouse, as far as how that eventually gets resolved, including plugging the well and, you know, 454 00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:06,940 all the decommissioning and everything that would go on there. 455 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:07,860 Yeah. 456 00:40:09,060 --> 00:40:09,580 Okay. 457 00:40:11,850 --> 00:40:12,110 Jason? 458 00:40:14,810 --> 00:40:22,090 Yeah. New guy in the room. They found the source. You said it was something with the fire 459 00:40:23,010 --> 00:40:25,450 storage or something? I'm just curious if they found the source. 460 00:40:25,450 --> 00:40:31,230 There's a fire hall. Jason, a little background here. There's a fire hall that's there at 461 00:40:31,230 --> 00:40:37,210 Hannah Heights right next to where their water well source is. And a number of years 462 00:40:37,210 --> 00:40:44,870 years ago somebody had been instructed to dump a gallon bucket of firefighting foam 463 00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:51,090 and in those days there wasn't any concern of it being a contaminant, you know, it was 464 00:40:51,090 --> 00:40:56,750 clearly something that they mixed and poured and used and did on a regular basis so pouring 465 00:40:56,750 --> 00:41:01,430 it over in the bushes didn't really seem to be a problem but clearly it was and 466 00:41:01,430 --> 00:41:02,910 clearly it is. 467 00:41:02,910 --> 00:41:10,830 over a few decades. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah, and the feeling I've got through 468 00:41:10,830 --> 00:41:18,610 the process that I've been involved with is that the HOA to date has not, you 469 00:41:18,610 --> 00:41:23,770 know, tried to hold anybody accountable. But certainly they've been been 470 00:41:23,770 --> 00:41:30,410 assisted by state and county agencies to fix the problem, if you will, and 471 00:41:30,410 --> 00:41:32,930 And, you know, they're making headway on that. 472 00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:38,930 So they were assisted in hauling water to them and, you know, that kind of thing. 473 00:41:39,370 --> 00:41:45,210 So how that transpires going into the future for sealing and contaminant. 474 00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:47,590 So, all another Bailiwick. 475 00:41:47,850 --> 00:41:55,910 I did hear that the other Hannah Heights well was starting to show PFAS and elevated numbers, 476 00:41:56,130 --> 00:41:58,650 but not anywhere near that level. 477 00:42:01,670 --> 00:42:03,690 thank you for that yeah 478 00:42:06,570 --> 00:42:10,570 is it let me just ask this question I'm sure we all 479 00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:15,150 have what's the proper way to get rid of this stuff is there a never put it in 480 00:42:15,150 --> 00:42:19,010 there to begin with I got it but where do you could put it where do you put 481 00:42:19,010 --> 00:42:26,110 hazardous is that is there a is that question been addressed in orcas or for 482 00:42:26,110 --> 00:42:26,830 any of the island? 483 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:35,280 You mean of the of the materials that are out there? Yeah, I mean just yeah even 484 00:42:36,060 --> 00:42:43,220 most any gasoline, oil, what all these things that tend to get poured off into the bushes even 485 00:42:43,220 --> 00:42:43,960 to this day. 486 00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:52,700 How do responsible people dispose of these things? Well hazardous waste roundup 487 00:42:52,700 --> 00:43:00,520 this is really the thing. Yeah, that's a once a year again, isn't it? Once or twice, yeah. 488 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:09,260 I don't know. It seems like we're pretty vulnerable. I'm just saying. It sure seems that that's 489 00:43:10,340 --> 00:43:19,600 something that requires being addressed. I'm just saying. So, Lynn? Yeah, I just wanted to say 490 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:26,720 And back, I think maybe two years ago, we got a report from a professor at the University 491 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:34,300 of British Columbia exploring ways of de, I don't even know what the right word is, 492 00:43:34,340 --> 00:43:36,440 but ways of treating PFAS. 493 00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:38,640 And it's not a simple process. 494 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,020 It's apparently very complicated. 495 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:47,600 But they're pioneering a method of cleaning up water that has been contaminated with 496 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:47,740 it. 497 00:43:47,740 --> 00:43:53,880 And that document is in our committee file somewhere. 498 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:54,900 And I've got it. 499 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:55,900 I'll try to find it, too. 500 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,620 But it was pretty exciting. 501 00:43:57,740 --> 00:43:59,660 And I don't know what's happened since then. 502 00:44:01,740 --> 00:44:01,980 Hmm. 503 00:44:04,740 --> 00:44:05,140 Yeah. 504 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:13,600 Okay. 505 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,040 Anybody else? 506 00:44:23,470 --> 00:44:23,790 Okay. 507 00:44:24,710 --> 00:44:29,550 Well, big news with the changing people here. 508 00:44:31,890 --> 00:44:33,490 It's, oh, Kimball. 509 00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:34,730 Sorry. 510 00:44:34,730 --> 00:44:35,370 I 511 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:42,490 just had another question about the SharePoint. 512 00:44:43,370 --> 00:44:48,110 I've been remiss because I've been gone, but getting those documents uploaded. 513 00:44:48,430 --> 00:44:50,570 Are we still doing that, Susan and Tyler? 514 00:44:52,810 --> 00:44:54,030 Absolutely, yep. 515 00:44:54,690 --> 00:44:54,990 Okay. 516 00:44:56,010 --> 00:44:58,290 Yeah, if you had a follow-up question, you can ask it. 517 00:44:58,290 --> 00:44:59,850 but I have the SharePoint. 518 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,600 Already I sent everybody the link.
