STEVEN GOODING, a first-grader at Bordeaux Elementary
School, stands in front of his entry about water pollution at
last Saturday's Mason County Science and Engineering Fair.
Salmon rulings not made y, ,,t
The impact of salmon protec-
tion isn't going to come as news to
Mason County officials, but it's
not likely to saddle property own-
ers with 300-foot setbacks from
salmon streams.
While nobody's saying for sure
what regulations will be deter-
mined as appropriate for reducing
the impact of human activity on
the remaining Hood Canal chum
and Puget Sound chinook runs
that are designated as
threatened, many officials are
shaking their heads at the
rumors already circulating about
impending rules.
Mason County is in the process
of drafting fish and wildlife habi-
tat conservation area regulations
as a part of the Interim Resource
Ordinance. The county planning
commission reviewed the pro-
posed ordinance in a public hear-
ing last month a:plans a series
of workshops to explain the regu-
lations, consider alternatives and
hear from residents, said Bob
Fink, county planner.

of noncom-

resource lands.
CHANGES include

resource lands and
by or adjoining
according to
o, community devel-
Lrector. The planning
held a public hear-
ing on March 15 and proposed
amendments are now ready for
the board, he noted.
One new proposed regulation
would set the minimum lot size
on designated lands at 10 acres
with one dwelling unit per lot
unless clustering, or the group-
ing of dwellings, occurs, accord-
ing to Bob Fink, county planner.
There is also an open-space re-
quirement of at least 10 acres.
Another new regulation would
establish buffers between agri-
cultural lands and adjoining
land uses, Fink said. The mini-
mum buffer is 100 feet from agri-
cultural tracts.
IN ITS DECEMBER 18 ruling
the hearings board identified
five areas of noncompliance
with the state's Growth Manage-
ment Act (GMA) and issued two
findings of invalidity.
Densities and divisions of
land were at the core for the
board's two findings of invalidi-
ty. Allowing divisions of desig-
nated agricultural lands into
less than 10-acre parcels and set-
ting densities of one unit per five

tially interfere with the intent of
the act, the hearings board con-
cluded.
On April 20, the commission-
ers will hear public comment on
the extension of the Interim Re-
source Ordinance (IRO). Tues-
day night, the commission
adopted a resolution extending
for another six months the inter-
im measure designed to protect
critical areas during the plan-
ning process. The most recent
extension will expire April 2.
"These regulations were nee-
plan and subject to amendment
to be consistent with the plan."
HE SAID THE agricultural
resource lands section was
amended as a part of the revi-
sions to the IRO. "Although the
Mason County Planning Com-
mission has held its public hear-
ing on this change and the board
should be able to schedule a pub-
lic hearing on it before April 16,
the board will not be able to act on
this amendment until after the
date of the expiration of the cur-
rent (IRO) extension," he said.
THE PROPOSAL calls for a
150-foot buffer on each side of
major streams, with 100-foot and
75-foot buffers for smaller
streams. Building setbacks for all
water types would be 15 feet. Re-
duction of stream buffer size is
one area for which the planning
commission requested additional
information.
Workshops have been sched-
uled March 29 at the Hoodsport
Fire Hall on Finch Creek Drive,
April 6 at Skookum Hall on
Lynch Road, April 12 at Mary M.
Knight School in Matlock and
April 15 at North Mason High
School in Belfair.
An advisory committee will aid
the planning commission and de-
partment of community develop-
ment in determining whether
suggested changes to the proposal
are supported by the best avail-
able science, Fink explained.
County staff has been engaged
in ongoing discussions with Simp-
son Timber Company regarding
the removal of its dam on Golds-
borough Creek to improve fish
habitat, but that project has not
reached the level of permit appli-
cation yet, according to Pam Ben-
nett-Cumming, county planner.
PAUL ROGERSON, plan-
ning director for the city of Shel-
ton, says the listing appears to
have no direct impact on the city
since neither Goldsborough Creek
nor Oakland Bay hosts the runs
of salmon listed. "Where there
will be an impact is places where
we expend federal dollars, for in-
stance road and street projects.
Something called a biological as-
sessment will need to be complet-
ed," Rogerson said, calling the
process "expensive and arduous."
What rules are eventually es-
tablished won't surprise those
who have coped with the costs
and rules of salmon-protection
measures as part of the planning
for road, bridge and culvert proj-
ects for years.
The current year's road budget
for the county, for instance, has
$350,000 designated for large-cul-
vert projects, work that Mason
County Engineer Jerry Hauth de-
scribed as "fish passage" work
when he introduced the county's
six-year road plan.
THE COUNTY engineering
department has been working
with the state on culvert projects
for salmon passage and timing
road and bridge work for the least
impact on salmon runs for some
years, county officials indicated.
Community Development Di-
rector Gary Yando, whose staff
has been busy with growth man-
agement compliance issues, indi-
cated this week that it'll be more
of the same with the regulations
that are developed to deal with
salmon habitat.
"I think it's going to have an
impact as far as development
goes, and just the general way of
doing business," Yando said.
"There will be some increased im-
pact on the comprehensive plan
and on critical-area ordinances.
VVVVvVVVv
There will be enforcement and
some liability issues attached:
who's responsible for the long run
- for allowing things to happen,
or not allowing things to happen."
The county is already involved
in some of the multi-governmen-
tal entities that have begun work
on regulatory issues. "We're
working on the Hood Canal Coor-
dinating Council, with Jefferson
and Kitsap counties and with the
Skokomish and S'Klallam tribes,
in relationship to different re-
sponsibilities," he said, noting
that the group will bear the scru-
tiny of federal officials to ensure
that regulations to protect the
Hood Canal chum runs comply
with federal regulations.
ON PUGET SOUND, Yando
said, Mason County is involved
with the Southwest Puget Sound
ESA (Endangered Species Act)
Subregion Group, a working
group that involves five counties
as well as South Sound cities and
tribes involved with establishing
regulations to protect the chinook
salmon.
The counties, Yando said, have
applied for money through state
funding to bring a coordinator on
board who will deal with some of
the salmon issues.
School meeting set
on reform, policies
The Shelton School District
will hold the second of two public
meetin next Monday to discuss
school reform efforts and, specifi-
cally, the district's draft policy
about promotion and retention.
Also up for discussion will be
the new state tests: the Washing-

ing, or WASt.
The meeting will be from 7 to 8
p.m. Monday, March 29, at the
