Study Session Agenda, 12-21-04 Page 1 of 1 City of Spokane Valley Request for Council Review DATE: December 21, 2004 ITEM: ❑ Consent ® Old Business ❑ New Business ❑ Public Hearing ® Legislation ❑ Information ❑ Administrative Report AGENDA ITEM TITLE: TABLED ITEM: Unfinished Business: First Reading Proposed Ordinance 04-054, Area Wide Rezone (REZ-17-04) North Greenacres area. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Ordinance 03-053 Interim Zoning Regulations PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council was briefed at the study session on November 30, 2004, and tabled item on December 14, 2004. BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley Interim Zoning Code, Section 14.402.100, provides a process for property owners to initiate an area-wide rezoning action via petition. The code requires that at least 51% of the property owners within the boundary of the proposed zone change sign the petition for rezone in order to initiate the rezoning process. On July 1, 2004 the City received a petition from the North Greenacres neighborhood requesting a rezone from the existing Urban Residential 7* (UR-7*) to Urban Residential 3.5 (UR-3.5). City staff verified the signatures on the petition, utilizing the most current taxpayer records of the Spokane County Auditor's Office. The area under consideration for this rezoning action is bounded on the south by Mission Avenue, Barker Road on the east and the Spokane River to the north and west. The area is approximately 457 acres and is comprised of 264 separate parcels of land. On September 23, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the rezone request. The Commission closed public testimony and continued the hearing to October 14, 2004, for deliberations. The Commission requested Planning Staff to produce a map showing "vested" development projects and individual requests by property owners to retain UR-7* zoning. After discussion, the Commission voted on four separate motions to exclude areas from the proposed rezone. The Commission could not agree to amend the boundary of the rezone request and each motion failed. The Commission then voted on the original proposal to rezone the entire area to UR-3.5, resulting in a 3-3 tie, one Commissioner being absent from the meeting. On November 18, 2004, the Commission voted to reconsider the motion to approve the rezone from the previous meeting. By a 4-3 vote, the Commission is now recommending that the rezone be approved. On November 30, 2004, Council reviewed the rezone request, expressing some concern about the adequacy of roads and sewers in the Greenacres area. Council directed Staff to bring back information on how subdivisions are reviewed in relation to the adequacy of roads (concurrency) and the future plans for extending wastewater collection services to the area. On December 14, 2004, Council reviewed information submitted by the Public Works Department concerning roads and sewers in the Greenacres area. Council tabled a motion to move the ordinance to second reading, stating the desire to review the information submitted and to allow time for staff to address legal issues raised during the meeting. OPTIONS: Approve, send amendments back to Planning Commission for reconsideration or conduct a public hearing. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: When a motion is laid on the table (set aside temporarily), or tabled to a date certain, members must take it from the table by the end of the designated meeting or it dies. Anyone can make this motion; it needs a second and is not debatable. If adopted, the motion that was tabled is now before the assembly. 1. Move to take from the table, the motion relating to the first reading of proposed ordinance 04 -054 2. Vote on taking the motion from the table. If—yes —the motion is taken from the table. 3. The original motion may then be further discussed. 4. The last pending motion was: to advance Ordinance 04-054 to a second reading. 5. Vote on the pending motion; or in the alternative, it may be withdrawn or amended. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Not applicable. STAFF CONTACT: Scott Kuhta, AICP - Senior Planner ATTACHMENTS: Staff report to Planning Commission including vicinity, zoning, and comprehensive plan maps, map showing vested projects within proposed rezone area, public testimony correspondence Planning Commission minutes and a draft ordinance.

What at are the requirements for road improvements for each new development in the Greenacres area? The following is the current status of projects in the propose rezone: o PE-1706-93 — Flora Meadows — The original plat was submitted to the County in 1993. An application for a time extension to the original plat was received on November 23, 2004. On December 9, 2004 Spokane Valley Community Development issued a decision for this project. The time extension was denied. The applicant has the ability to appeal this decision. If the plat is re- filed, an updated traffic study will be required. ® SUB-11-04 — D2 Subdivision —This project is in the preliminary review stages. Conditions for Approval have not been prepared. A traffic scoping meeting was held. A traffic study is required but not yet submitted. ® SUB-12-04 — D1A Subdivision — This project is in the preliminary review stages. Conditions for Approval have not been prepared. Although the project is less than 20 lots, the developer's engineer submitted an updated traffic study for the area. The preliminary plat map is being updated at this time. At this time, their proportionate share of the Barker/Mission signal is 0.29%. • PE-1921-03 — Flora Springs PUD —This project is currently in street and drainage review. Conditions of Approval are in place by the Hearing Examiner's decision. Please refer to conditions #35 and #46 of the Hearing Examiner's Conditions of Approval and the email indicating the proportionate share (2% of signal cost) for the Barker/Mission traffic signal. These items are attached. • SUB-05-04— D1 Subdivision — Conditions of Approval are in place from the Hearing Examiner. Please refer to conditions #14 through #17 of the attached Hearing Examiner's Conditions of Approval for this project. There have been no construction plans submitted to date. 2. What are the processes and regulations Staff follows to analyze the road improvements required for new development? The process varies with the type of application submitted. Attached is a "Subdivision Schedule" developed by Community Development and is currently on the City's web site. It shows the typical process. The regulations are as follows: • Phase 1 Development Regulations, Section IV Concurrency (attached) The regulations require each intersection affected by the project shall be reviewed and analyzed to determinethe proposed project causes the level of service at affected intersections to fall below adopted standards. If an intersection falls below adopted standards the applicant must agree to modify the project or provide transportation improvements and/or a binding financial commitment that will bring the level of service up to adopted standards. • Zoning Code 14.710.200 Required Improvements and Dedication 14.710.200 Required Improvements and Dedication Prior to the issuance of any approvals or permits subject to the provisions of this Chapter,the County Engineer shall determine the extent and type of roadway improvements, including future or phased improvements,required. The County Engineer shall utilize the Arterial Road Maps and road construction standards adopted by the County, and shall consider the functional, safety, efficiency and coordinated future expansion needs of the roadway to serve the traveling public and emergency vehicles. The County Engineer shall also determine the extent of additional right-of-way needed and whether the land area required should be dedicated to or purchased by the County. If the County Engineer determines that purchase is appropriate,the County Engineer shall ensure that County funds will be allocated or made available through prioritizing and/or scheduling the applicable road project. This may include adding the road project to the County Six Year for Arterial Road Construction, if appropriate. The applicant is typically required to dedicate the required property to conform to the right-of-way width required for roads fronting on the development. • Spokane County Road Standards Section 3.18 (attached) The applicant is typically required to construct frontage improvements along the entire portion of the plat in accordance with the above Road Standards. 3. Sewer program for Greenacres...and more specifically, how far have the sewer lines been built to date? The sewer line has been extended from the west down Mission to the Flora Springs PUD. Greenacres is in the County 2004 adopted 6-year plan and is scheduled for 2010. 4. Barker Road construction and its affect on traffic circulation in and out of Greenacres. Barker Road construction and Barker bridge construction will have a significant impact on traffic during the construction period. We are currently proposing to keep half of the road and/or bridge open for two lanes of traffic. Traffic will be required to move at a slower speed and there will be some delays. Detours may be required in some areas. As the designs develop for these projects specific traffic requirements will be developed. C j--1 Phase 1 Development Regulations Attachment A Section I' J I .........� JCL.LIULI 1 Y. \_.ULIL.111 1 C.l1,:y A. Concurrency Facilities and Services 1. Definitions a. Adequate Public Facilities—Facilities which have the capacity to serve development without decreasing levels of service below locally established minimums. b. Available Public Facilities—Means that facilities or services are in place or that a financial commitment is in place to provide the facilities or services within a specified time. In the case of transportation, the specified time is six years from the time of development. c. Concurrency—Means that adequate public facilities are available when the service demands of development occur. This definition includes the two concepts of"adequate public facilities" and of"available public facilities" as defined above. d. Double Plumbing Dry Side Sewers —A sewer service line installed at the time of on-site sewage disposal system construction, which will connect the structure wastewater system to a public sewer, when the public sewer becomes available. (Ref. SCC 8.03.1242) e. Dryline Sewer—A sewer line, constructed at the time of property development, that is not put into service until the public sewer system is extended to the development. The installation of Dryline Sewers within a development facilitates the simple and straightforward connection of the development to sewer when the public sewer system is extended to the boundary of the development. f. Project Permit/Project Permit Application—Any land use or environmental permit or license required from a review authority for a project action, including but not limited to building permits, short plats, subdivisions, binding site plans, planned unit developments, conditional uses, variances, shoreline permits, site plan review, permits or approvals required by the Critical Area Ordinance, site-specific zone reclassifications, manufactured home parks, and change of condition request. 2. Applicability The following facilities and services must be evaluated for Concurrency: a. Transportation f. Parks and Recreation b. Public Water g. Libraries c. Public Sewer h. Solid Waste Disposal d. Fire Protection i. Schools e. Police Protection 72 of 78 Phase 1 Development Regulations Attachment A 3. Direct Concurrency Transportation, Public Water and Public Sewer shall be considered Direct Concurrency Services. Concurrency requirements for public water and public sewer service are detailed in Section IV, F. Transportation facilities serving a development must be constructed, or a financial guarantee for required improvements must be in place prior to occupancy. Applicable permit/project applications shall require Transportation Concurrency Review, described below. A Concurrency Certificate shall be issued to development proposals that pass the Transportation Concurrency Review. 4. Indirect Concurrency Fire Protection,Police Protection,Parks and Recreation, Libraries, Solid Waste Disposal and Schools shall be considered Indirect Concurrency Services. Spokane County shall demonstrate the adequacy of Indirect Concurrency services through the Capital Facilities Plan(CFP). The CFP will be updated annually, at which time all Indirect Concurrency Services will be evaluated for adequacy. The evaluation will include an analysis of population, Level of Service and land use trends in order to anticipate demand for services and determine needed improvements. If any Indirect Concurrency Services are found to be inadequate, the County shall adjust the Land Use element to lessen the demand for services, include a project in the CFP to address the deficiency or adjust the Level of Service. Any of the approaches shall require amending the Comprehensive Plan. B.Transportation Concurrency and Review 1. The following project permits/project applications shall be subject to Transportation Concurrency Review. a. Subdivisions f. Residential building permits over 4 units b. Short Plats g. Conditional Use Permits c. Zone Changes with site plans h. Manufactured Home Parks d. Planned Unit Developments i. Extension of time(see exemption No.2.b.) e. Commercial/Industrial building permits j. Change of conditions A Certificate of Concurrency, issued by the Division of Engineering, shall be required prior to approval of the above applications. 2. The following shall be exempt from Concurrency Review: a. Project permits that were issued, or project applications that were determined to be complete (see RCW 36.70B)prior to the effective date of these Concurrency Regulations. b. The first renewal of a previously issued, unexpired project permit, provided that substantial progress has been made as determined by the appropriate review authority. 73 of 78 Phase 1 Development Regulations Attachment A c. Any project permit that will have insignificant transportation impact, and that will not change the traffic volumes and flow patterns in the afternoon peak travel period, as determined by the County Engineer. d. The following project permit actions: i. Boundary line adjustments; ii. Final subdivisions/Final PUD's/Final Short Plats/Final Binding Site Plans; iii. Temporary Use Permit; iv. Variances. e. Proposed project permits/project applications that do not create additional impacts on transportation facilities. Such projects may include but are not limited to: i. Any addition or accessory structure to a residence with no change or increase in the number of dwelling units over 4 units; ii. interior renovations with no change in use or increase in number of dwelling units over 4 units; iii. Any addition, remodel, or interior completion of a structure for use(s)with the same or less intensity as the existing use or a previously approved use. C. Transportation Concurrency Review Procedures 1. Applicability • All project permits, except for those exempt, shall apply for Transportation Concurrency Review at the time applications for project permits are submitted. Inquiries about availability of capacity on transportation facilities may be made prior to project permit applications, but responses to such inquiries are advisory only and available capacity can only be reserved through a Concurrency Certificate as set forth in these regulations. 2. Procedures a. Applications for Transportation Concurrency Review shall be submitted on forms provided by the Review Authority. b. Transportation Concurrency Review shall be performed for the specific property,uses, densities and intensities based on the information provided by the Applicant/Property Owner. The Applicant/Property Owner shall specify densities and intensities that are consistent with the uses allowed. c. The Review Authority shall notify the Spokane County Engineer, or his/her designee, of all applications received requiring Transportation Concurrency Review and shall request a Concurrency Determination. 74 of 78 Phase 1 Development Regulations Attachment A d. Spokane County Engineer shall notify the Applicant/Property Owner and the Review Authority of the results of the Concurrency Determination within 30 days of receipt of Application for Transportation Concurrency Review. If additional information is needed to determine Concurrency, such additional information may be requested by the Spokane County Engineer. Such request shall not make the original project application deemed incomplete. e. The project permit may be conditioned as necessary to ensure that an improvement relied upon to demonstrate Concurrency will be completed or a Transportation System Management Strategy shall be a part of the permit decision. f. If the proposed project fails the Concurrency Test and the project permit cannot be conditioned to accomplish concurrency,the project permit(s)shall be denied. g. If the proposed project passes the Concurrency Test,the Division of Engineers shall issue a Concurrency Certificate to the Applicant/Property Owner. The Certificate shall be used to maintain an accounting of traffic impacts on County Roads and the capacity that has been reserved. h. If the project permit has been withdrawn, expires, or is otherwise cancelled, the Concurrency Certificate shall automatically be voided. The appropriate review authority shall send notice of all voided Certificates to the Applicant/Property Owner and the County Engineer. 3. Relation to Other Requirements Compliance with or exemption from the requirements of these regulations shall not exempt a project from compliance with all other County, State, and Federal regulations. 4. Concurrency Certificate a. A Concurrency Certificate shall only be issued upon payment of any concurrency fee due. b. A Concurrency Certificate shall apply only to the specific land uses, densities, intensities and project described in the application and project permit. c. A Concurrency Certificate is not transferable to other property,but may be transferred to new owners of the same property. d. A Concurrency Certificate shall remain valid so long as the accompanying project permit has not expired or been revoked. e. A Concurrency Certificate is valid for any modification of the permits for which the Certificate was issued so long as such modification does not require the Applicant to obtain a new project permit. f. Any capacity that is not used because the full extent of the development is not built shall be returned to the pool of available capacity. 75 of 78 Phase 1 Development Regulations Attachment A 5. Concurr i ency Certificate Fees Fees for issuing Concurrency Certificates shall be based on an adopted fee schedule. D. Phased Development I. When a project is proposed in phases or construction is expected to extend over some period of time, the Applicant/Property Owner may offer a schedule of occupancy that will be used by the County Engineer to determine the schedule of transportation improvements that must be completed, or financially guaranteed, prior to occupancy of each phase. However, the required transportation improvements shall be determined by analyzing the traffic impacts estimated to be generated by the fully completed project. E. Transportation Concurrency Test Procedures 1. Highway Capacity Manual methods selected by the County Engineer shall be used to analyze project impacts to intersections. 2. Level of Service information in the Capital Facilities Plan, which is updated annually, shall be used as a starting reference to analyze project impacts. 3. Level of Service information shall be updated as necessary to account for traffic levels resulting from the following: a. traffic from newly constructed projects, b. projects for which traffic impacts have been tentatively reserved; and c. projects for which a Concurrency Certificate has been awarded; and, d. non-project, general background traffic increases. Level of Service information shall also be updated as necessary as a result of any discontinued Concurrency Certificates, funded road projects or new Level of Service analysis. 4. Each County intersection affected by the proposed projects shall be reviewed and analyzed for Concurrency. The Applicant/Property Owner may be required to provide a traffic analysis if existing information does not provide adequate information for the Concurrency assessment. 5. Project proposals shall pass the Concurrency Test if (1) the transportation impacts from the proposed project does not decrease the Level of Service of affected intersections below the adopted standards; or, (2) the Applicant/Property Owner'agrees to modify the project or provide transportation improvements and/or binding financial commitments that will result in the Level of Service of each deficient intersection meeting or exceeding the adopted standards. 76 of 78 Phase 1 Development Regulations Attachment A F. Water and Sewer Concurrency Inside Urban Growth Areas New development shall not be approved within the Urban Growth Area boundary unless the proposal can demonstrate the availability of public water and sewer services consistent with adopted Levels of Service, and consistent with the definition for Concurrency in the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan Update. New development must: 1) be connected to a live(fully operational)public sewer at the time of occupancy, or 2)be located within the Spokane County 6-year Sewer Capital Improvement Program, as adopted.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: BACKGROUND: The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) is proposing to finalize a water quality analysis that shows no additional capacity for discharges of dissolved oxygen into approximately 60 miles of the Spokane River. This process is known as a "total maximum daily load" or "TMDL." The water quality rules authorize a process whereby the particular uses in a waterbody can be evaluated to identify whether those uses are existing or attainable. Then, water quality criteria can be adopted that protects existing and attainable uses. Uses that are not existing or attainable can be removed from the water quality standards. This process is known as a "Use Attainability Analysis" or a "UAA." Over the past two years, a coalition of dischargers have been conducting a UAA for that portion of the Spokane River from the Idaho border to just below the Long Lake Reservoir. This is the same area is included within Ecology's TMDL. The UAA Report is completed and will show that, through an adaptive management approach, existing and attainable uses can be protected and, at the same time, dischargers can continue to discharge into the River, using state of the art treatment technology that produces a high-quality effluent that protects the River. The UAA contains important information that should be considered by Ecology before finalizing the TMDL because it analyzes actual existing and attainable uses. Ecology's TMDL, on the other hand, is based on "class-based" standards that are uniformly applied across the state, without any adjustment for the different uses that may exist in a particular waterbody. The UAA can only be adopted through rulemaking. The rulemaking process requires a petition to be signed and presented to Ecology by individuals authorized by their respective policy boards, commissions or in the case of corporate entities, officers of the company. The petition process is important because it is the only way that the rulemaking process can be started. OPTIONS: Request more information, approve as written or request modifications. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Approve the request to send a petition to DOE that requests DOE adopt the UAA under DOE's rulemaking regulations and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the petition.

Monroe Spokane,WA 99205 Subject: Comments on Ecology's Draft Total Maximum Daily Load to Restore and Maintain Dissolved Oxygen in the Spokane River and Lake Spokane (Long Lake Reservoir) Dear Ms. Hoffman and Gentlemen: The comments in this letter are being submitted for the administrative record on behalf of the sponsors of the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir Use Attainability Analysis (Spokane River UAA).These comments relate to the Washington State Department of Ecology's (Ecology's) Draft Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) submittal report for dissolved oxygen(DO) for the Spokane River and Lake Spokane (Long Lake Reservoir) dated October 2004 (Draft TMDL). We represent municipal and industrial wastewater facilities from Washington and Idaho that discharge or plan to discharge to the Spokane River under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) permits.Each of our facilities will be directly affected by the implementation of a DO TMDL. We represent the City of Spokane Wastewater Management,Kaiser Aluminum,Inland Empire Paper,the City of Coeur d'Alene,the Hayden Area Regional Sewer and Water Board,the City of Spokane Valley Public Works, the Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District,Spokane County Public Works, and the City of Post Falls.In addition,each of us will submit comments related to the Draft TMDL regarding those elements that are unique to our specific situations. We have spent a great deal of time evaluating the technical basis,merit, and efficacy of the Draft TMDL.We disagree with many elements of the Draft TMDL. Our concerns are based on the results of the Spokane River UAA,which has been conducted by recognized water Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight,and Merrill Page 2 December 14,2004 quality experts from leading national consulting firms,and on issues and inconsistencies associated with the Draft TMDL.These concerns are discussed in more detail below. The Spokane River UAA provides Ecology with the most scientifically sound basis to protect water quality because it identifies existing or attainable uses in the Spokane River. For this reason,the Spokane River UAA should be used as a foundation to create a plan to protect the Spokane River and the resulting allocation of financial resources to achieve appropriate water quality standards for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. We are requesting that Ecology: • Address our concerns related to development of the TMDL model and uncertainty. These concerns include that the TMDL should: — Protect uses that exist and are attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir,as defined through a use attainability analysis — Incorporate other on-going Spokane River watershed management issues and activities — Be based on defensible assumptions — Take into account the uncertainty in the TMDL model — Be based on feasible,implementable wastewater management technologies — Provide for control of nonpoint sources — Evaluate the impact of its adoption on other watersheds • Defer adoption of the Draft TMDL until a use attainability analysis of the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir is completed • Incorporate the recommendations of the Spokane River UAA into the DO TMDL • Incorporate substantive elements from our proposed implementation plan into the DO TMDL In this letter we present information about the following topics: 1. The background related to the Draft TMDL 2. Our commitment to improving water quality 3. Our concerns related to the Draft TMDL 4. Our requests 5. Our next steps SPKIBK268.DOC/043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 3 December 14,2004 1. The background related to the Draft TMDL We agree that the state of Washington needs to prepare an analysis to establish TMDLs for these water bodies so that they can attain the appropriate water quality standards.As part of this process,Ecology has developed a draft report that presents TMDL recommendations for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. The Draft TMDL was prepared using an expedited process,and the comment period ends on November 30,2004. We are pleased that Ecology has recognized the importance of water quality on the Spokane River and the need for establishing a TMDL as quickly as possible.However,as Ecology acknowledges,the importance of this TMDL and the process by which the affected community's concerns and suggestions are incorporated into a finalized version of the document cannot be overemphasized.The TMDL covers a large geographic region and involves a river that crosses the Washington-Idaho state line.Its impact will have statewide and inter-state significance. 2. Our commitment to improving water quality We want to continue to work cooperatively with Ecology and the community to improve water quality in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir based on the following premises: • We are dedicated to protecting beneficial uses of the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir • We support a biological basis for setting water quality standards • We support a comprehensive watershed approach for setting TMDLs • We are obligated to invest public resources carefully so that desired results (both environmental and financial) are obtained • We must have a compliance plan that is achievable when incorporated into our NPDES permits 3. Our concerns related to the Draft TMDL In summary we have concluded that the TMDL should: • Protect uses that exist and are attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir, as defined through a use attainability analysis • Incorporate other on-going Spokane River watershed management issues and activities • Be based on defensible assumptions • Take into account the uncertainty in the TMDL model SPK/BK268.DOC/043210084 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight,and Merrill Page 4 December 14,2004 • Be based on feasible,implementable wastewater management technologies • Provide for control of nonpoint sources • Evaluate the impact of its adoption on other watersheds 3.1. The TMDL should protect uses that exist and are attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir, as defined through a use attainability analysis. The TMDL should be based on water quality standards established through a use attainability analysis. Water quality standards should be based on existing and attainable uses that are determined by a biological analysis described in a use attainability analysis (based on 40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR],Subpart B,Establishment of Water Quality Standards,131.10 Designation of Uses).Use-based water quality standards are necessary in order to develop waste load allocations that are protective of uses in the Spokane River. The National Academy of Science recommends that a use attainability analysis be performed before developing TMDLs.1 By doing so; appropriate use-based water quality standards are in place prior to conducting a TMDL. In addition,federal regulations allow for, and guidance encourages,the development of use attainability analyses to determine actual and existing uses in a water body(40 CFR). Through rulemaking,Ecology has adopted"use-based" water quality standards.These standards are now pending before the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). However,Ecology did not perform art independent evaluation of existing and attainable uses for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir as part of the pending use-based standards. The TMDL should not use class-based water quality standards as the target standards for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir TMDL. The proposed waste load allocations in the Draft TMDL are based on the former class-based use standards.It is our understanding that these standards were never the subject of a use attainability analysis.The Draft TMDL's class-based analysis implies uses that may not exist or be attainable in these specific water bodies and may have no correlation to the kinds of aquatic life that must be protected in these water bodies.Therefore,the class-based system establishes inappropriate targets for TMDL purposes. The TMDL should not use Lake Eloika as a reference watershed. The Draft TMDL uses Lake Eloika as a reference watershed to define natural conditions for Long Lake Reservoir.The selection of Lake Eloika as the reference watershed is contrary to 1 National Academy of Sciences(NAS).Assessing the TMDL Approach to Water Quality Management;Committee to Assess the Scientific Basis of the TMDL Approach to Water Pollution Reduction,Water and Science Technology Board,Division on Earth and Life Sciences,National Research Council.June 2001. SPKIBK268.DOC1043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 5 December 14,2004 EPA's nutrient guidance.This guidance recognizes that use of"reference" conditions such as this are not appropriate for TMDL target-setting.In EPA's nutrient criteria guidance,2 it is recognized that"most,if not all,lakes have been impacted by human activities to some degree" and that reference conditions should realistically represent either the least impacted condition or what is considered to be the most attainable condition. Lake Eloika does not represent the most attainable condition for the Spokane River or Long Lake Reservoir. In addition,Lake Eloika is not comparable to Long Lake Reservoir for the following reasons: • Different depth.Lake Eloika is a shallow lake,not a deep reservoir and,therefore, functions differently,which impacts biological systems and the uses that are attainable. • Watershed not comparable.Lake Eloika's watershed is not comparable to the Spokane River watershed. Lake Eloika is 662 acres in size,with a drainage area of 111.0 square miles.Long Lake Reservoir is 5,020 acres in size,with a drainage area of 6,640 square miles. • Different drainage area.The Lake Eloika drainage area is relatively undeveloped forestland,with little land and soil characteristics that would contribute sediment runoff.Long Lake Reservoir receives water runoff from a more soil rich and larger agricultural valley (Spokane River Valley) along with tributaries that drain major agricultural areas,which impact the quality of the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. • Different water quality and flows.The water quality and flows in the Spokane River are substantially affected by Lake Coeur d'Alene and by a significant aquifer that interflows with the Spokane River and on to Long Lake Reservoir. Lake Eloika does not have these influences. • Different geology.The geological formations are different for Lake Eloika and Long Lake Reservoir.Geology in the Spokane River watershed consists predominately of gravels and sands, and the Spokane River tributaries have substantial amounts of loam that are not found in Lake Eloika's geology. As described above,it is not appropriate to use Lake Eloika as a standard for defining natural conditions in Long Lake Reservoir.In addition,there is a fundamental flaw when using natural conditions in the determination of the TMDL in this circumstance.Long Lake Reservoir is a reservoir.Therefore,it is not now,nor by definition will it be, a natural body of water. 2 EPA.Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual:Lakes and Reservoirs.EPA-822-BOO-001,April 2000. SPKIB K268.DOCI043210084 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 6 December 14,2004 The TMDL should evaluate man-made reservoirs as unique water bodies. As a man-made reservoir,Long Lake Reservoir should not be regulated under the"Lake Class" water quality standards and should not be compared to natural lakes for purposes of the DO TMDL. Ecology has recognized that reservoirs are complex water bodies that require more analysis and evaluation to establish reservoir-specific water quality standards.However,Ecology has not accomplished this evaluation.Instead,in the Draft TMDL,the old class-based system was carried over for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. The TMDL should focus on protection of uses that do exist and are attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir One of our core,fundamental positions,based on a critical review and analysis of the Draft TMDL model,is that the Draft TMDL is based on water quality standards that have not been subjected to a use-based or use attainability analysis. 3.2. The TMDL should incorporate other on-going Spokane River watershed management issues and activities. The TMDL should use a watershed management approach to create a coordinated water quality management program. The Draft TMDL will not solve the DO issues in the Spokane River. It does not consider the numerous other planning and regulatory activities currently underway.These other activities are necessary components of any coordinated water quality management plan for - the Spokane River.Flow,hydraulics,sediment transport,and the characteristics of the river channel itself have been significantly affected by the construction of dams and other flow- control structures that have been in operation for decades. Furthermore,the large watershed encompasses a broad range of land uses and associated point and nonpoint impacts attributable to agriculture practices,urban and residential uses,and regional mining-related activities. All of these conditions should be factored into and coordinated with the TMDL.These activities include,but are not limited to: • Coeur d'Alene Basin Superfund Cleanup • Coeur d'Alene Lake Management Plan • PCB MTCA Cleanup • PCB TMDL process • Spokane River UAA • Latah Creek TMDL • Little Spokane River TMDL • Midnite Mine Cleanup (Spokane Reservation) SPKIBK268.D0C1043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 7 December 14,2004 • Middle/Little Spokane River Watershed Plan • Latah Creek Watershed Plan • Lower Spokane Watershed Plan • Idaho Groundwater Management Plan • Spokane Valley/Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer Study • Avista Dam Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Relicensing Ecology is uniquely situated to lead the region to a comprehensive and effective program that protects the beneficial uses of the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. The TMDL should allow for an adaptive management approach in the implementation of the TMDL. The Draft TMDL does not allow for an adaptive management approach to improving water quality in the Spokane River. An adaptive management program would allow utilities and Ecology to work cooperatively to implement programs that are tailored to improving the DO in the water as the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir respond to decreasing volumes of phosphorus from point and nonpoint sources. The TMDL should consider effects on other environmental programs and interests. Significant environmental impacts of the Draft TMDL's implementation strategy have not been adequately evaluated related to environmental programs in the Spokane River Basin and interstate.Taking these environmental impacts into account,the implementation strategy may not be feasible for the reasons described below: • Aquifer protection program.The Draft TMDL does not consider the potential affect of either delaying or directly interfering with the implementation of the aquifer protection program. • Kaiser Aluminum groundwater remediation.Kaiser Aluminum operates a groundwater remediation system designed to clean up onsite contamination and provides protection to the river and recently substantially upgraded overall wastewater treatment efficiency.While recent data indicates that current discharges may not be significantly different than the river,Ecology's TMDL does not include appropriate flexibility to appropriately address this situation.As such,Ecology's proposed TMDL could potentially cause the curtailment of beneficial on-going remediation efforts and as a result create in-river flow losses that Ecology has not subjected to a detailed assessment of public review under the Administrative Procedures Act. • Reliance on agricultural land application of municipal wastewater.The Draft TMDL's implementation strategy relies on land application of municipal wastewater.The amount of land needed for just the City of Spokane volumes of treated wastewater would be over 10,000 acres. The closest available land would extend into Lincoln County.Ecology's water resources policies likely would not allow an interbasin transfer SPKIB K26 B.D OCI043210084 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 8 December 14,2004 of water.Also,acquisition of the property would pose serious legal challenges. Condemnation of land outside Spokane's jurisdiction may not be possible.In other words,Ecology's proposed implementation plan is quite likely incapable of being implemented. • Environmental impacts on groundwater quality and quantity.The environmental impacts of the Draft TMDL on groundwater quality or quantity have not been evaluated.For example,a number of problems might occur if all of the dischargers remove their discharges from the Spokane River and use land application as a treatment methodology.These problems include the following: — Impaired water rights downstream — Impaired water quality within the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir because river flows would be lower resulting in higher concentrations of metals and nutrients — Impaired DO levels because lower flows would cause temperature to increase, which results in lower DO levels,contrary to the TMDL objective — Impaired fisheries and recreational uses — Impaired water quality by increasing the toxicity of metals such as copper,cadmium, lead,and zinc in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir by substantially reducing hardness.These and other metals,which are the basis for considerable regulatory effort and concern in this basin,exhibit less toxicity with increasing hardness.This relationship is reflected in Ecology's metals standards,and the beneficial effects of point source hardness have been recognized by Ecology. • Construction of Spokane County's proposed wastewater treatment plant.Construction of Spokane County's proposed wastewater treatment plant will need to be delayed to deal with the Draft TMDL and its implementation strategy.Without a new plant, Spokane County will not be able to continue its septic tank elimination program at its current pace.This program is a major nonpoint source and public health program that has been implemented for aquifer protection.Delayed implementation of treatment capacity in the Spokane Valley would certainly delay water quality improvements to groundwater in the Valley.Adoption of the Spokane River UAA would enable wastewater plant permitting to proceed,and would make immediate gains towards improvement of groundwater quality. • Interstate interests.The Draft TMDL has not taken into account the environmental impacts on interstate interests. SPKIBK268.DOC1043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 9 December 14,2004 The TMDL should direct the use of resources towards programs that will contribute to achieving appropriate water quality standards, such as nonpoint source control. The Draft TMDL implementation strategy will divert financial resources away from wastewater management programs that can and will meet appropriate water quality standards in the Spokane River,including downstream water quality standards. As a result, the citizens of the region (in both Washington and Idaho) potentially will mis-spend large sums of money to fund a TMDL implementation plan that does not help achieve its core objectives. This is particularly true with regard to programs needed to control nonpoint sources. The TMDL should help solve DO issues in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir and downstream. The Draft TMDL model shows that,even after removing all point sources from the Spokane River,the water quality in Long Lake Reservoir still will not meet the standard that forms the basis for the TMDL.The CE-Qual-W2 modeling runs used for technical analysis in the Draft TMDL indicate that there is negligible difference between a scenario in which the dischargers apply the best available treatment technology (final effluent filtration)vs. complete removal of the point source loading. The model is not sufficiently populated with data to conclude that the small difference is in fact real or significant. In other words, the Draft TMDL does not improve DO in Long Lake Reservoir more effectively than final effluent filtration,which is the state-of-the-art treatment technology proposed by local utilities. The TMDL should not divert water flows during critical periods. Implementation of the Draft TMDL may divert flows from the Spokane River during critical times of the year. As noted above,this is a significant environmental impact that has not been evaluated and may be in direct conflict with water resources policies. The TMDL should account for potential minimum water flow conditions that the State of Washington may set. The State of Washington has an announced policy to set minimum flows that have not been taken into account in this TMDL because the state has not yet set those flows for the Spokane River.A TMDL that will place in effect a clean-up plan for several decades should consider the potential of minimum flow conditions, other than year 2001. 3.3. The TMDL should be based on defensible assumptions. The Draft TMDL applied various broad assumptions in the CE-Qual-W2 modeling analysis to reach conclusions related to the TMDL.We have identified our concerns related to some of these assumptions. S PKIBK268.D0C1043210084 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight,and Merrill Page 10 December 14,2004 The TMDL should appropriately allocate phosphorus loading reductions to point and nonpoint sources. The Draft TMDL does not appropriately allocate phosphorus loading reductions to nonpoint sources,even though the contributions of the nonpoint sources are greater than those from the point sources during spring runoff and are primarily responsible for hypolimnetic DO depletion. The Draft TMDL allocates all of the estimated assimilative capacity(consuming 0.2 mg/L of DO)to nonpoint sources.Rationale applied in the Draft TMDL shows that this nonpoint- source allocation will not meet its water quality criterion.The Draft TMDL further concludes that there is no reasonable assurance that nonpoint sources can or will meet their allocation.The Draft TMDL concludes from this that,therefore,there is no capacity for point sources.The fact is that the Draft TMDL's arbitrary criterion of a 0.2 mg/L decrease in DO cannot be met by any degree of nonpoint-source and/or point-source controls.It is a fundamentally flawed,illogical,and unprecedented approach to TMDL development.This approach ignores other TMDLs that have regulated only nonpoint sources.More specific comments are as follows: • Nonpoint-source loading from major drainages.The Draft TMDL does not take into account nonpoint-source loading from major drainages (Latah Creek and Little Spokane River)in the allocation and control of phosphorus loading to Long Lake Reservoir.Each of these drainages is now under a TMDL study.These studies,along with the Spokane River TMDL,should be conducted in a coordinated and comprehensive fashion prior to adopting a TMDL clean-up program for the Spokane River.The Draft TMDL has arbitrarily redefined major sources of nonpoint-source loading as natural background loads.Among the natural background load shown on Figure 9 of the Draft TMDL (page 26) are the following: — Valley Aquifer+Atmospheric.The Valley Aquifer is a known source of nonpoint sources (for example,septic tank leachate and fertilizers from lawns and agricultural lands).It should be included in the nonpoint-source category along with atmospheric deposition. — Other exposed nonpoint sources.The Little Spokane River aquifer,Little Spokane River surface water,Hangman Creek,and Lake Coeur d'Alene are all exposed to nonpoint sources. This allocation of nonpoint sources as"natural"misrepresents the actual magnitude and impact of nonpoint sources and infers incorrectly that the water quality controls should be focused primarily on point sources.Nonpoint-source control must be a major component of the DO TMDL implementation plan,regardless of any other actions.Any other approach ensures that the water quality objectives will never be achieved. SPKBK268.DOC/043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 11 December 14,2004 • Sediment oxygen demand(SOD).The decline in DO in the hypolimnion of Long Lake Reservoir is due to SOD.The Draft TMDL recognizes that SOD is influenced by nonpoint sources.However,it does not recommend nonpoint-source controls that would improve water quality in Long Lake Reservoir. The TMDL should account for the FERC relicensing process. The Draft TMDL does not take into account the FERC relicensing process,which is a critical component in any water quality solution. 3.4. The TMDL should take into account the uncertainty in the TMDL model. Some conclusions in the Draft TMDL do not take into account uncertainty related to the CE-Qual-W2 modeling approach.Some of the modeling errors and assumptions that need to be addressed include the following: • Calibration data.The Draft TMDL model has insufficient calibration data to accurately predict the effect of SOD on Long Lake Reservoir DO and,therefore,cannot accurately predict the effect of point-and/or nonpoint-source loading reductions.The TMDL assumes the model is sufficiently populated with data to predict DO conditions at any time and at any location within the river and reservoir. This is an inappropriate use of the model outputs. • Restoration potential.The Draft TMDL model does not predict restoration potential over multiple years because it is set up to run only for a given year, and thus cannot predict long-term changes in SOD (the largest component of DO decline in the hypolimnion).Ecology cannot predict that this TMDL will restore existing and attainable uses,much less those that,because of the simple roll-over of class-based uses, are set for general statewide application and not specific to the Spokane River.Ecology simply has not done an independent analysis of the existing and attainable uses. • Results of implementation.The Draft TMDL model results clearly show that implementation of the Draft TMDL will not meet the existing water quality standards for Long Lake Reservoir. Ecology is speculating that the Draft TMDL will achieve the proposed water quality standards, and it is proposing to implement a TMDL clean-up program,based on speculation,that has the potential of creating greater environmental impacts than it will remedy. • Use of a 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion.The use of 0.2 mg/L related to the decrease in dissolved oxygen for reservoirs from natural conditions is incorrect. No documented basis for application in a reservoir context and no justification have been provided to explain why it is a meaningful criterion for all natural lakes.The Draft TMDL has not shown how the 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion relates to protection of any beneficial uses. The 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion has no meaningful or legally supportable basis for SPKIBK268.D0CI043210084 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight,and Merrill Page 12 December 14,2004 Long Lake Reservoir.It is an arbitrary number that is being applied in this case because Long Lake Reservoir was simply rolled over from the class-based system. • The 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion is unachievable.If the interflow zone of Long Lake Reservoir is the critical water area for achieving the water quality standards for protection of existing and attainable uses and for downstream water quality,the Draft TMDL's model demonstrates that none of the scenarios meet either the current or Ecology's proposed water quality standard.Therefore,the Draft TMDL is defining a waste load allocation to meet a standard that is unachievable (that is,the 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion). • Fluctuation in river flow.Fluctuation in river flow of the Spokane River has not been considered in the model.Only 2001 data were used when flows dropped to 300 cubic feet per second (cu/ft/sec) on some days.Avista may soon agree,or be required under FERC's relicensing,to usually maintain Post Falls Dam flows at 600 cu/ft/sec and to maintain an absolute commitment of 500 cu/ft/sec.Therefore,the 2001 flow scenario is likely an inappropriate basis for setting TMDLs and for establishing future water quality management of the river system.This is an example of why a comprehensive watershed approach and coordination with other water resource issues should be conducted and included in the methodology used for determination of the DO TMDL. • Assessment of DO "flow benefit."The Draft TMDL modeling has not yet been sufficiently refined to assess the DO"flow benefit" associated with a discharge of very clean discharges,such as the Kaiser Aluminum discharge.The Draft TMDL modeled the "zero discharge" impact on DO assuming that pollutants were removed and the flow remains in the Spokane River.If flow benefit is not assessed,the TMDL could cause negative environmental outcomes. 3.5. The TMDL should be based on feasible, implementable wastewater management technologies. The Draft TMDL's implementation strategy regarding treatment technologies does not accomplish the goal of achieving water quality standards that protect uses in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir.The Draft TMDL does not consider the feasibility of implementation of the TMDL.It does not adequately address nonpoint sources (see discussion above).In addition,the permitted point-source dischargers must bear almost the entire burden of evaluating the technical basis,merit, and efficacy of the TMDL and of developing a practical solution that addresses the apparent DO limitations in the Spokane River system. SP KIBK268.DOC1043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 13 December 14,2004 The TMDL should recognize the efficiency of final effluent filtration technology over alternatives of land application of treated wastewater. • Final effluent filtration technology.The sponsors have proposed to implement state-of- the-art final effluent filtration at their existing or proposed wastewater treatment plants. This technology would result in 99 percent removal of total phosphorous that will achieve the same DO result in Long Lake Reservoir that Ecology's proposed implementation plan would achieve by requiring the dischargers to remove their effluent from the river. The substantial cost difference between final filtration and land application of treated effluent is so substantial that it would divert resources away from other environmental programs,potentially resulting in more harm to the environment than benefit. • Compliance with continuous and instantaneous DO criteria.The TMDL requires compliance with continuous and instantaneous effluent phosphorus concentration criteria,which is not feasible without implementing reverse osmosis technology or removing discharges from the river entirely. • Substantial investments. Compliance with the Draft TMDL (that is,removing discharges from the river) will require investment of enormous sums of public money on wastewater management that will still not meet water quality standards within Long Lake Reservoir or downstream and will divert public funds from other wastewater management programs. • Experimental technologies as a reference. The Draft TMDL does not recognize that some experimental technologies have been proven successful only at facilities that are an order of magnitude smaller than the existing City of Spokane's wastewater treatment plant or the proposed Spokane County wastewater treatment plant. There can be serious problems caused by scalability when these technologies are applied to plants that process larger volumes of wastewater. Investment by the municipal dischargers in unproven technologies would be fiscally irresponsible.Piloting these technologies is under consideration and should be done to define their limits,particularly with regard to scalability where space is a limitation.However,to base the Draft TMDL's on these yet-to-be-proven technologies for full-scale application is unreasonable. • Volume of contaminants from nonpoint sources.Should dischargers implement land application of municipal wastewater and remove all phosphorus discharges from the Spokane River,the water quality standards that Ecology has proposed still could not be met because of the volume of contaminants entering the Spokane River from nonpoint sources (such as lawns, agricultural use, and septic tanks).Therefore, a tremendous financial burden would be placed on the local communities and they would still be unable to achieve Ecology's proposed water quality standards. SPKIBK268.DOC1043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight,and Merrill Page 14 December 14,2004 • Timing of implementation strategies.The Draft TMDL proposes the implementation of best available technology by 2008 and the removal of discharges for the period between April and October by 2016. — Implementation of best available technology by 2008.The Draft TMDL's proposed implementation strategy assumes a progressive implementation of best available technology by 2008,and then removal of discharges from the Spokane River by 2016. This is not a financially reasonable or feasible approach.Dischargers cannot invest in a technology that will not be part of their treatment program in 2016. In essence,the Draft TMDL asks the dischargers to devote millions of dollars to technology that they will"throw away" in less than 10 years. — Removal of discharges for the period between April and October by 2016.The Draft TMDL's implementation strategy requires dischargers to be out of the Spokane River by 2016.The water quality improvement that would result from removal of the discharges from the Spokane River is essentially the same as would be achieved by final effluent filtration treatment(which the dischargers are willing to implement). Removing wastewater from the Spokane River would not provide any more perceptible gain than what is achieved at 99 percent phosphorus removal. Controlling the nonpoint sources would provide much greater water quality benefit for the investment. The Draft TMDL's implementation strategy requires point sources to be totally discontinued from April through October.However,according to the Draft TMDL, the influence of point sources is only on the metalimnion,and the metalinini.on does not form until mid-July.Even though the nonpoint-source loads are delivered to Long Lake Reservoir mostly in the spring,the nonpoint-source allocation period is June through October.The schedules referenced in the implementation plan to control point-source and nonpoint-source loading is not consistent with what actually happens within the Spokane River system. The TMDL should recognize the capability of treatment plants to achieve phosphorus concentrations on a continuous basis. Waste treatment plants can achieve phosphorus concentrations on a partial time basis but not on a continuous basis. Use of a 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus criterion for treatment plants is unsubstantiated.The Draft TMDL sets treatment plant standards on inadequate information related to meeting a 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus criterion. • The referenced treatment plants cannot continuously meet an effluent level of 0.01 mg/L.The Draft TMDL references municipal wastewater treatment plants in New York State and Virginia that meet a 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus level.The Draft TMDL's interpretation of the effluent quality from these treatment plants is erroneous.While the SPKBK268.0001043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 15 December 14,2004 treatment plants can occasionally achieve a total phosphorus concentration at close to 0.01 mg/L,these facilities have not been demonstrated to meet this standard on a continuous,absolute basis for flows and loads that represent the condition in Spokane. These reference treatment plants do demonstrate the increasing capability of treatment technologies to remove phosphorus.They are similar to what we have proposed (final effluent filtration). The issue is that the treatment plants that the Draft TMDL references cannot continuously meet an effluent level of 0.01 mg/L standard,which is what the Draft TMDL would require. • Upper Occoquan Sewer Authority treatment plant has a weekly average effluent total phosphorus limit of 0.10 mg/L.The referenced Virginia plant,Upper Occoquan Sewer Authority treatment plant,uses lime treatment. It has a weekly average effluent total phosphorus limit of 0.10 mg/L (100 micrograms per liter [µg/L],not 10 µg/L),that it complies with.Effluent total phosphorus composite samples have been taken every day for more than 20 years.Authors of the Spokane River UAA report designed the plant. They have analyzed its data as the Sewer Authority's engineer since the founding of the plant (design in the early 1970s).They have engineered the expansion of the plant several times over the years.The plant has complied with the weekly average effluent total phosphorus limit of 100 µg/L very consistently over the years.The effluent total phosphorus concentration is often as low as 10 µg/L on individual days.While it reaches a concentration of 10 µg/L or less on some days,it cannot do so on a consistent or reliable basis.The facility produces an effluent below 10 µg/L about 40 percent of the time, and over 10 µg/L about 60 percent of the time. • There is no technology that can consistently meet a 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus effluent concentration. In a recent (November 2004) Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) technical workshop (conducted by telephone and electronic media), the WERF researchers were asked if there is a technology available today that will consistently meet a 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus effluent concentration.The answer was no,not unless"you" want to use a very large amount of chemical (refer to http://w-ww.werf.org/press/progress.cfm).This answer from a third-party expert source corroborates the conclusion our expert panel reached in August. Consistently achieving 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus effluent concentration realistically is not achievable. 3.6. The TMDL should provide for control of nonpoint sources. The Draft TMDL's modeling shows that nonpoint sources are the principal cause of DO depletion in the hypolimnion,which is the portion of the Long Lake Reservoir in which DO levels are at their lowest.The Draft TMDL's conclusion that there is no way to provide reasonable assurance that nonpoint sources can or will be controlled is an arbitrary conclusion.This conclusion does not comply with Ecology's obligation to include nonpoint sources in TMDLs.Other states throughout the U.S.use both regulatory and voluntary SPKBK26B.DOC/043210084 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler, Knight, and Merrill Page 16 December 14,2004 programs to achieve nonpoint-source water-quality goals in the TMDL process. Every other TMDL process,in which there is a substantial nonpoint-source contribution to loading and effects,has recognized the need for nonpoint-source reductions and has included such reductions in the TMDL cleanup plan.All of these other TMDLs have recognized that certain nonpoint-source programs are voluntary.But all have also recognized that nonpoint- source controls are essential to meeting water quality standards. 3.7. The TMDL should evaluate the impact of its adoption on other watersheds. If the Draft TMDL is adopted,it will set a precedent for similarly impounded rivers in the state and region.Given the concerns we have listed,we think that such a precedent would have a negative impact on the environment and communities in other watersheds. 4. Our requests We are requesting that Ecology: • Address our concerns related to development of the TMDL model and uncertainty • Defer adoption of the Draft TMDL until a use attainability analysis for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir is completed. • Incorporate the recommendations of the Spokane River UAA into the DO TMDL • Incorporate substantive elements from our proposed implementation plan into the DO TMDL 4.1. Ecology should address our concerns related to development of the TMDL .model and uncertainty. We have spent a great deal of time evaluating the technical basis,merit,and efficacy of the Draft TMDL.From these efforts,we have concluded that the TMDL should: • Protect uses that exist and are attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir, as defined through a use attainability analysis — Be based on water quality standards established through a use attainability analysis — Not use class-based water quality standards as the target standards for the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir TMDL — Not use Lake Eloika as a reference watershed — Evaluate man-made reservoirs as unique water bodies — The TMDL should focus on protection of uses that do exist and are attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir SPKIBK268.D0C1043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 17 December 14, 2004 • Incorporate other on-going Spokane River watershed management issues and activities — Use a watershed management approach to create a coordinated water quality management program — Allow for an adaptive management approach in the implementation of the TMDL — Consider effects on other environmental programs and interests — Direct the use of resources towards programs that will contribute to achieving appropriate water quality standards,such as nonpoint source control — Help solve DO issues in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir and downstream — Not divert water flows during critical periods — Account for potential minimum water flow conditions that the State of Washington may set • Be based on defensible assumptions — Appropriately allocate phosphorus loading reductions to point and nonpoint sources — Account for the FERC relicensing process • Take into account the uncertainty in the TMDL model • Be based on feasible,implementable wastewater management technologies — Recognize the efficiency of final effluent filtration technology over alternatives of land application of treated wastewater. — Recognize the capability of treatment plants to achieve phosphorus concentrations on a continuous basis • Provide for control of nonpoint sources • Evaluate the impact of its adoption on other watersheds 4.2. Ecology should defer adoption of the Draft TMDL until a use attainability analysis of the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir is completed. Ecology is aware that a Spokane River UAA has recently been conducted.The Spokane River UAA was developed by nationally-recognized water quality practitioners.They evaluated the existing and attainable uses of the Spokane River,applying technically sound and supportable methods and assumptions. The Spokane River UAA provides Ecology with SPKBK266.D0CI043210064 Ms.Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight,and Merrill Page 18 December 14,2004 a realistic assessment of the spectrum of water quality considerations affecting DO in the Spokane River.We,the sponsors of the Spokane River UAA,strongly recommend that Ecology give full consideration to the Spokane River UAA findings.We believe that this analysis provides a more technically sound and financially responsible basis for achieving water quality goals in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir.A prime example of establishing water quality standards based on a use attainability analysis is the recently completed use attainability analysis for the Chesapeake Bay.In this case,subcategories of uses were established for the bay based on the different ecological environments of the bay and the habitats that each ecological environment sustained.The TMDLs were established based on these subcategories for uses,and,therefore,the water quality standards were not the same throughout the bay depending upon the use that was to be protected. The Spokane River UAA establishes water quality standards that protect all of the uses existing and attainable in the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir.It allows for environmental protection from wastewater discharges that is achievable,more affordable,and reaches the objective of protecting the biological environment necessary to sustain existing and attainable uses within these water bodies. 4.3. Ecology should incorporate the recommendations of the Spokane River UAA into the DO TMDL. Because both the Spokane River UAA and the TMDL must be adopted through rulemaking, one consolidated rulemaking process for both the Spokane River UAA and TMDL could be conducted,which would include State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)review. By consolidating the rulemaking (and SEPA) process,the State conserves resources and provides a defensible approach to the process. On balance,the importance of correctly identifying the uses in the Spokane River and developing a watershed-based cleanup plan that takes into account all of the various activities currently underway,far outweighs Ecology's desire to move quickly to finalize the TMDL. 4.4. Ecology should incorporate substantive elements from our proposed implementation plan into the DO TMDL. We have spent a great deal of time developing a practical solution that addresses the apparent DO limitations in the Spokane River system.The implementation plan in the Draft TMDL does not incorporate the substantive elements of the implementation plan we have proposed.This plan includes the following elements: Implementation of final effluent filtration We have proposed to implement final effluent filtration to our wastewater treatment systems to achieve a median phosphorus level of 0.05 mg/L.We have done this in recognition of the fact that,during much of the time,our plants will operate significantly below this concentration(as is documented with the Clean Water Services plants on the SPKIBK268.DOC/043210084 Ms. Hoffman and Messrs. Cusimano,Peeler,Knight, and Merrill Page 19 December 14,2004 Tualatin River and the Upper Occoquan Plant in Northern Virginia).The Upper Occoquan Plant achieves 0.01 mg/L about 40 percent of the time.Yet,Ecology continues to insist on a continuous and instantaneous effluent limit of 0.01 mg/L,based on an arbitrary measure of background or natural DO. Implementation of water conservation and reuse We have also proposed to implement water conservation and water re-use programs that will reduce hydraulic flow and further reduce the pounds of phosphorus discharged directly to the Spokane River. Contributing to the control of nonpoint sources We have also proposed to contribute to the control of nonpoint sources,which Ecology has ignored as a controllable source of phosphorus,even though Ecology acknowledges that nonpoint sources are the major contributor to Long Lake Reservoir hypolimnetic DO sags. Continuation of monitoring to ascertain water quality improvements We will continue to collect samples and analyze the results of water quality monitoring efforts. If the actions above do not meet the water quality standards, using aeration to reach DO goals We propose to implement lake aeration if, after reasonable and feasible means of treatment, water quality standards in Long Lake Reservoir or downstream have not been achieved. Work with Avista We propose to work collaboratively with Avista to incorporate FERC considerations and concerns, and implement a comprehensive workable solution. 5. Our next steps We remain committed to working with Ecology,not only to establish use-base standards for the Spokane River,but also to implement wastewater treatment programs that will allow the aquifer protection program,combined sewer overflow control program,and industrial source control and remediation to move forward aggressively.

The 1-day minimum water column average Dissolved Oxygen(D.O.1 criteria for the Riverine portion of the reservoir are 6.0 mg/L from July 1 through September 14 and 8.0 mg/L from September 15 through June 30. The 1-day minimum water column average D.O. criterion for the Transitional,Lacustrine-Epilimnion,and Lacustrine-Metalimnion portions of the reservoir is 6.0 mg/L when the reservoir is thermally stratified(normally from July 1 through September 30). The 1-cl, minimum water column average D.O. criterion for the Lacustrine-Upper Hvpolimnion portion of the reservoir is 5.0 mg/L when the reservoir is stratified. The 30- day average of the daily minimum water column average D.O.criterion(30-DADMin) for the Riverine,Transitional,Lacustrine-Epilimnion,and Lacustrine- Metalimnion portions of the reservoir is 8.0 mg/L when the reservoir is thermally stratified. The 1-day minimum water column average D.O.criterion for the entire reservoir is 8.0 mg/L when the reservoir is not stratified. Where conditions of barometric pressure,altitude,and water temperature preclude attainment of these D.O. criteria,D.O. levels must not be less than 90 percent saturation. In addition,sources of phosphorus must demonstrate progress towards maximizing the volume of the Lacustrine-Lower Hvpolimnion that is suitable for short-term foraging by fish,with a long-term goal of achieving a water column average D.O.value of 4.0 mg/L as a 1-day minimum in this portion of the reservoir. The delineation of these portions of the reservoir will vary in timing and location. However,the Riverine portion will be all depths generally from River Mile(RM)58 to RM 53,the Transitional portion will be all depths generally from RM 53 to RM 46,and the Lacustrine portion will be generally from RM 46 to RM 34. The delineation between the Metalimnion and Upper Hvpolimnion of the Lacustrine portion will normally be from a depth of 9 to 12 meters below the water surface. The delineation between the Upper and Lower portions of the Hvpolimnion will be that depth where the D.O. concentration is greater than 5.0 mg/L. 5.

The amendment to WAC 173-201A-600,Table 600 and WAC 173-201A-602, Table 602 for WRIA 54—Lower Spokane and WRIA 57—Middle Spokane is necessary for the reasons set forth in the Petition, including this Attachment, and the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir Use Attainability Analysis ("Spokane River UAA")report, which is attached to this Petition. State and federal regulations allow uses in waterbodies to be revised through a Use Attainability Analysis ("UAA") (WAC 173-201A-440; 40 CFR 131.10). Federal regulations (40 CFR 131.3[g]) define a UAA as a structured scientific assessment of the factors affecting the attainment of the use that may include physical, chemical,biological, and economic factors. Section 131.10(g)provides that a UAA is justified if the State can demonstrate that attaining the currently designated use is not feasible because of any one of six specific factors, including either of the following: 4) Dams, diversions or other types of hydrologic modifications preclude the attainment of the use, and it is not feasible to restore the water body to its original condition or to operate such modification in a way that would result in the attainment of the use; or 5) Physical conditions related to the natural features of the water body, such as the lack of a proper substrate, cover, flow, depth,pools, riffles, and the like,unrelated to water quality,preclude attainment of aquatic life protection uses; or . . . The Spokane River UAA report defines the existing and attainable uses for the Spokane River from the Washington and Idaho Stateline (Stateline; River Mile ["RM"] 96) to Long Lake Dam (RM 34),based on the above two factors (either of which is sufficient to result in modifying the use). Currently designated uses for the Spokane River are based on a statewide system of categorizing rivers and lakes under a class-based system that does not include a specific assessment of the existing and attainable uses for the Spokane River. The Clean Water Act also requires the Washington State Department of Ecology ("Ecology")to prepare a total maximum daily load ("TMDL") analysis and implementation plan for rivers and lakes that do not meet surface water quality standards. If a TMDL is prepared without specifically defining existing and attainable uses for a waterbody, the TMDL might use inappropriate surface water quality standards and, thus, develop inappropriate pollutant loading allocations for that waterbody. Ecology is currently developing a dissolved oxygen ("DO") TMDL plan for the Spokane River downstream of the Stateline Bridge (RM 96) to Long Lake Dam (RM 34; Ecology 2004e). The TMDL will establish regulatory limits on the discharge of pollutants that contribute to the drop in DO levels 50489308.02 -6- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 below surface water quality standards. In the case of the Spokane River, the primary oxygen- consuming pollutant is phosphorus. With regard to the Spokane River, a consortium of stakeholders came together to prepare the Spokane River UAA report in order to evaluate surface water quality standards that are appropriate and necessary to protect existing and attainable uses of the Spokane River based on the UAA factors referred to above. The goal of the Spokane River UAA sponsors is to assure the protection of the Spokane River by achieving surface water quality standards that are both attainable and protective of existing and attainable uses. The Spokane River UAA evaluates the biological and ecological basis for the designation of existing and attainable uses and recommends use designations and criteria appropriate to the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. An in-depth assessment of information obtained from almost 300 documents was used to develop the Spokane River UAA. The document sources include state and federal environmental agencies, the Spokane Tribe of Indians ("Spokane Tribe"), local agencies, universities in Idaho and Washington, and Avista Utilities ("Avista"). (See Appendix C of the Spokane River UAA for a list of sources.) The source documents span studies from 1933 to 2004. Fisheries specialists, ecologists, and water resources and modeling experts evaluated this information and developed the recommendations contained in this report. (See Appendix G of the Spokane River UAA for resumes of contributing authors.) The Spokane River UAA sponsors include representatives from the following industries and municipalities in both Washington and Idaho: 1. City of Spokane 2. City of Spokane Valley 3. Spokane County 4. City of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 5. City of Post Falls 6. Hayden Regional Sewer and Water District 7. Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District 8. Kaiser Aluminum Corporation 9. Inland Empire Paper Company In the absence of specific current guidance, the Spokane River UAA has drawn from existing regulations, the Chesapeake Bay UAA, and numerous other UAAs, either adopted or underway. The Spokane River UAA report has three major elements: 1. Biological assessment and recommendation of designated uses and criteria (Part 2) 2. Implementation plan(Part 3) 3. Economic assessment(Part 4) 50489308.02 -7- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 Biological Assessment and Recommendation of Designated Uses and Criteria (Part 2) For purposes of the biological acceecment the Spokane River beginning at the nutlet of Coeur d'Alene Lake in Idaho, was divided into riverine (RM 112 to RM 58) and reservoir(RM 58 to RM 34) segments. The Spokane River UAA report, which is incorporated into this Petition, contains detailed recommendations covering the Spokane River from the Stateline (RM 96)to Long Lake Dam (RM 34). These are summarized as follows. Spokane River(RM 96 to RM 58): A new subcategory of use, referred to as "Spokane River Cold- and Cool-Water Mixed Fishery," should be established in Washington's surface water quality standards. This subcategory provides for: • The protection of indigenous and non-indigenous cold- and cool-water fish species and other associated aquatic life • Limited spawning,rearing, and migration of rainbow trout • A more site-specific temporal application of biologically based criteria The table below provides a summary of recommended DO criteria for the riverine reach (RM 96 to RM 58). Spokane River Cold-and Cool-Water Mixed Fishery(RM 96 to RM 58):Summary of Recommended DO Criteria Geographic Area April to May June to September October to March Entire River 1-Day Minimum Value 9.5 mg/L 6.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value 11.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L -- DADMin Value=day average of the daily minimum Long Lake Reservoir(RM 58 to RM 34): A new subcategory of use,referred to as "Long Lake Reservoir Mixed Fishery," should be established in Washington's surface water quality standards. This subcategory provides for: • The protection of indigenous and non-indigenous fish species and other associated aquatic life • Trout rearing,which exists within this reach • A more site-specific temporal and geographic application of biologically based criteria This subcategory relies on a seasonal and reservoir zone application of DO criteria,which protects the most sensitive life stages of salmonids (notably, rainbow trout) when and where those life stages occur. Similar to the Chesapeake Bay system (EPA, 2003b), recommended uses and DO criteria for Long Lake Reservoir vary depending on the location in the reservoir where different life 50489308.02 -8- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 stages and activities need to be supported. The table below summarizes the recommended DO criteria for the Long Lake Reservoir reach (RM 58 to RM 34). Long Lake Reservoir Mixed Fishery(RM 58 to RM 34):Summary of Recommended DO Criteria Geographic Area July to September 1 October to June Riverine 1-Day Minimum Value 6.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value 8.0 mg/L -- Transitional 1-Day Minimum Value 6.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value 8.0 mg/L -- Lacustrine—Epilimnion 1-Day Minimum Value 6.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value 8.0 mg/L -- Lacustrine—Metalimnion 1-Day Minimum Value 6.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value 8.0 mg/L -- Lacustrine—Hypolimnion(Upper) 1-Day Minimum Value 5.0 mg/L 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value -- -- Lacustrine—Hypolimnion(Lower) 1-Day Minimum Value Narrative 2 8.0 mg/L 30-DADMin Value -- -- 1 To protect early brown trout spawners,the recommended winter DO reservoir criterion(8.0 mg/L applied as a 1-day minimum)should also be applied within the riverine reach from mid-September (September 15)through the end of September(September 30). (The winter criterion already applies beginning on October 1.) 2 The narrative criterion for the lower hypolimnion(expected to be less than 12 percent of the reservoir volume during August when the warmest temperatures and lowest DO levels are observed) requires sources to maximize the"suitable volume"(defined as water with temperatures below 20°C and DO levels above 5.0 mg/L). The narrative criterion also includes a long-term goal to achieve a 1- day minimum DO value of 4.0 mg/L on a spatially averaged basis. This narrative criterion will be implemented via the TMDL process since it requires that point and nonpoint sources continue to implement controls that minimize the volume of water that falls below 5.0 mg/L. Given that low DO values have been consistently observed since the 1970s, continued improvements to benthic conditions will ensure that existing uses within the lower hypolimnion will continue to be protected. DADMin=day average of the daily minimum 50489308.02 -9- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 Dissolved Oxygen Saturation Considerations: The recommendations for DO criteria do not tale into a" 'unt thn„ fait that DO concentrations 111� above recommendations 1.1V11J LV are a function of water temperature and elevation, in addition to the other factors already discussed at length in the Spokane River UAA report. As a result, the DO criteria shown in the two tables above should be applicable unless barometric pressure, altitude, and water temperature conditions preclude attainment of these criteria, in which case DO levels should not be less than 90 percent saturation. A percent saturation qualifier is included in both the Idaho and Oregon surface water quality standards. Ecology has recognized the importance of this in another recent process on the Chehalis River (Ecology, 2004g). Deficit Criterion of 0.2 mg/L Dissolved Oxygen: State surface water quality standards contain a criterion allowing for no more than a 0.2 mg/L deficit in DO from "natural or background"water quality where natural or background water quality is less than the established standard. The outcome related to the Draft TMDL (Ecology, 2004e) is almost totally driven by Ecology's conclusion that there is no assimilative capacity in the system for point sources. Ecology reaches this conclusion because of its application of the 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion to Long Lake Reservoir. The Spokane River UAA report provides analyses that explain why the 0.2 mg/L DO deficit criterion should not be applied to the reservoir, which is not a natural system, and recommends that this criterion not apply to the reservoir. The attached strike-through version of WAC 173-201A-600, Table 600 and WAC 173-201A-602, Table 602 (WRIA 54—Lower Spokane and WRIA 57—Middle Spokane) contains the Petition's requested amended regulatory language. Attainable Surface Water Quality Standards: The Spokane River UAA biological assessment has shown that Ecology's current surface water quality criteria(9.5 mg/L absolute DO level and 0.2 mg/L differential DO level) cannot be met a high percentage of the time,regardless of treatment scenario, including removing the point source loads entirely from the Spokane River. One the other hand, the criteria proposed in the Spokane River UAA (protective of existing and attainable uses) can be met under most conditions, even recognizing the severity of 2001 low flows as the basis for the evaluation. Implementation Plan (Part 3) Parallel to this Spokane River UAA process, local stakeholders have been engaged in the TMDL process and have developed potential implementation strategies. For example, Spokane County and the City of Spokane jointly sponsored a one-day workshop on August 23, 2004,to evaluate advanced wastewater treatment technologies (CH2M HILL, 2004; Appendix F of the Spokane River UAA). The main objective of this workshop was to identify all proven and emerging technologies and to estimate what ranges of effluent phosphorus concentrations could be consistently and reliably achieved utilizing those technologies. The Spokane River UAA recommends a comprehensive implementation plan to control both point and nonpoint sources of pollutants to the Spokane River. The Spokane River UAA sponsors are committed to following this implementation plan as part of a long-term program to protect existing and attainable uses and achieve downstream surface water quality standards. The heart of the plan is a 50489308.02 -10- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 commitment to implement technologies to achieve a 95 percent reduction in the point source phosphorus load to the Spokane River. Elements of the plan include the following items: • 95 percent reduction in point source loading of phosphorus: The Rock Creek treatment facility on the Tualatin River in Oregon (owned and operated by Clean Water Services) has been used as a representation of the best proven large-scale treatment process technology. Results from the Rock Creek treatment facility were used to estimate phosphorus removal from point sources. This removal efficiency is defined as the"next level of treatment technology." While each point source on the Spokane River might choose different treatment technologies, this reference plant has been used to set a median effluent phosphorus concentration at 0.05 mg/L. This technology typically provides a treatment efficiency of greater than 99 percent. The Spokane River UAA sponsors have proposed to implement final effluent filtration to achieve this effluent phosphorus concentration in recognition of the fact that, during much of the time, the plants will operate significantly below this concentration. (This is documented with the Clean Water Services plant on the Tualatin River and with the Upper Occoquan plant in Northern Virginia, which achieves 0.01 mg/L effluent phosphorus about 40 percent of the time.) Because some phosphorus is currently being removed by secondary treatment,the reduction in load to the river due to final effluent filtration will be about 95 percent. • Best proven technology. The next level of treatment represents the best currently available, proven technology for point sources that will have any net environmental benefit on the Spokane River and Long Lake Reservoir. Improvements beyond this scenario reflect human-caused conditions that cannot be remedied. This is consistent with the conclusion from a very similar UAA process for the Chesapeake Bay (EPA, 2003b). • Water conservation and reuse. The Spokane River UAA sponsors have proposed the implementation of water conservation and reuse programs that will reduce hydraulic flow and further reduce the pounds of phosphorus discharged directly to the Spokane River. • Contributing to the control of nonpoint sources. The Spokane River UAA sponsors have proposed to contribute to the control of nonpoint sources, which Ecology recognizes to be the major contributor to Long Lake Reservoir DO sags (Ecology, 2004a). • Adaptive management strategy. The federal Clean Water Act requires that all feasible steps be taken to achieve the highest quality water attainable. However, in watersheds where nonpoint sources are a major contributor to pollution, feasible steps may be difficult to identify and implement. This situation is particularly applicable to the bottom (lower hypolimnion) of Long Lake Reservoir. The recommendation in the Spokane River UAA requires that sources maximize the volume of water in the lower hypolimnion to DO levels above 4.0 mg/L. The extent to which this volume can be maximized depends not only on the feasible control of point and nonpoint loads to the reservoir,but also on potential changes in sediment oxygen demand ("SOD") as phosphorus loads decrease. • On-the-ground implementation. The concept of adaptive management as it applies to TMDL implementation allows for on-the-ground implementation to proceed where uncertainty exists about how and when reduction targets will be met. 50489308.02 -11- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201 A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201 A-602,TABLE 602 • Continuation of monitoring to ascertain water quality improvements. The Spokane River UAA sponsors have proposed to continue collecting samples and analyzing the results of water quality monitoring methods. • Reservoir aeration. The Spokane River UAA sponsors have conducted an initial investigation of aeration of Long Lake Reservoir. Based on this initial investigation, it appears that reservoir aeration would provide significant benefit to DO levels in the reservoir and downstream water quality. In addition, very preliminary estimates of potential costs associated with reservoir aeration suggest that it appears to be a feasible technology. Therefore, the Spokane River UAA sponsors believe that reservoir aeration should be further investigated. • Work with Avista. The Spokane River UAA sponsors propose to work with Avista to incorporate Federal Energy Regulatory Commission("FERC") considerations and concerns and to implement a comprehensive workable solution. Downstream Surface Water Quality: Currently, the State and Spokane Tribe surface water quality standards for temperature and DO are not consistently being met downstream of Long Lake Reservoir(see Section 3.4 of Part 2 of the Spokane River UAA). It is important to note here that reservoir modeling by both Ecology and Limno-Tech, Inc. ("LTI")has shown that Ecology's Draft TMDL (2004e) would not meet Ecology's or the Spokane Tribe's downstream DO surface water quality standards. Amending Washington's surface water quality standards to designate uses and criteria for Long Lake Reservoir consistent with the criteria recommended in this Spokane River UAA would not exacerbate those downstream problems. Modeling by LTI indicates that the next level of treatment combined with reasonable control of nonpoint sources (Scenario 3, the next level of treatment plus 25 percent reduction in nonpoint source loads through implementation of best management practices [NLoT+25 percent NPS BMPs] scenario) should increase DO levels in the vicinity of the Long Lake Reservoir. This improvement represents the highest attainable conditions based on feasible control of pollutant sources. If other direct improvements in Long Lake Reservoir DO levels were implemented (for example, aeration), it is likely that downstream criteria would be met. As noted above,the Spokane River UAA sponsors have conducted an initial investigation of reservoir aeration. This investigation has shown that aeration appears to be feasible and should be further evaluated. Economic Assessment (Part 4) An economic assessment was completed related to treatment alternatives proposed by the implementation plan contained in Ecology's Draft TMDL (2004e) and treatment alternatives recommended in the Implementation Plan of the Spokane River UAA (Part 3). Using order-of- magnitude cost estimates, this assessment is an initial determination of the affordability of three treatment alternatives. Costs are presented in this assessment only for upgrades to the City of Spokane ("City")plant and for the costs to build the new Spokane County ("County")regional treatment plant. References to total phosphorus ("TP") removed are for all point source discharges to the river. The marginal costs of phosphorus removal and DO improvement for each alternative were assessed. The sensitivity of the City's and the County's residential sewer rates to the capital cost of each alternative was also assessed. Other factors such as unemployment rates, local government financial capacity, and budget strength were also assessed. 50489308.02 -12- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-20I A-602,TABLE 602 The alternatives evaluated were: • Implementation of final filtration for point source phosphorus reduction to achieve a 95 percent reduction in total point source loading to the Spokane River • Land application of municipal wastewater in an agricultural operation. • Implementation of reverse osmosis (RO) technology to achieve 99 percent reduction in municipal phosphorus loads. The capital costs are shown in the following table: City of Spokane Spokane County4'5 Final Land Reverse Final Land Reverse Costs Filtration Application2 Osmosis3 Filtration Application Osmosis Capital $57.0 million $404.7 million $558.7 million $108.1 million $161.6 million $190.9 million Capital costs represent estimated expenditures by the City and County. They are not adjusted for the allocation of costs between the City and County for that portion of the City Reclamation Plant that Spokane County will pay.

These capital costs are for an 8 million gallons per day(MGD)plant and include,for the land application and RO alternatives, costs for a facility plan amendment and an environmental assessment. Household Cost Impact: The first level of measurement analyzed a household's ability to pay. This is measured by the annual household's sewer cost as a percentage of median household income(MHI) and is referred to as the residential indicator. Other measures included an examination of unemployment rates,poverty levels, and the financial capacity of the City and the County. Residential indicators were calculated for the City and the County for each of the treatment alternatives. Under EPA guidelines, a residential indicator of • Less than 1.0 percent of MHI is considered a low financial impact • Between 1.0 and 2.0 percent of MHI is considered a mid-range financial impact • Greater than 2.0 percent of MHI is considered a high financial impact Ecology,by comparison, defines financial hardship as when the financial indicator for an individual community is greater than 1.5 percent of MHI (Ecology, 2004i). Currently, the City and the County have residential indicators of 0.8 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively. At their current levels, the existing sewer rates for the City are considered within the affordable range. Under Ecology's guideline(2004i), the County would currently meet the criterion for financial hardship based on its residential indicator. 50489308.02 -13- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC I73-201A-602,TABLE 602 Implementation of the alternatives results in the following household cost impact based on the residential indictor: Annual Average Sewer Bill as a Percent of MHI(Residential Indicator)after Implementation of Proposed Alternatives 3.4% 3.1% 3.2% 3.0% �/l 2.8% r7J/' 2.6% 2.a% 2.4% '%% 2.4% 2.2% 2.0% = 2.0% 1.8% 1.8% p 1. 1.66 % 1.3% 1.0% /0.8% l/ 0.88 j % j 0.6% o.a% 0.2% Spokane County- Spokane County- Spokane County- Spokane County- City of Spokane- City of Spokane- City of Spokane- City of Spokane- Average-Current Current Filtration Land App RO Current Filtration Land App RO The City's residential indicator increases from 0.8 percent under current conditions to 2.4 percent under the land application alternative and 3.1 percent under the RO alternative. The County's residential indicator increases from 1.8 percent under current conditions to 2.0 percent under the land application alternative and 2.4 percent under the RO alternative. In other words,based on the residential indicator, neither the City nor the County can affordably implement either the land application alternative or the RO alternative. Further refinement of this assessment would not appear to produce any different outcomes. Efficiency of the Treatment Alternatives: The economic assessment evaluated the efficiency of the alternatives based on the cost of removing additional amounts of phosphorus for each treatment alternative. Filtration is expected to remove approximately 95 percent of the TP at a capital cost of$165 million. Land application and RO would have capital costs of$566 million and $750 million, respectively, and would remove 99 percent of TP from the Spokane River. The following graph illustrates the decreasing efficiency in reducing TP beyond the 95 percent removal level. 50489308.02 -14- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 Percent of Total Phosphorous Removed from the Spokane River over Baseline Conditions $900 $80010. -� e, $700 m $600 Land Application $500 o $400 as $300 C.ci $200 Filtration I :: 00$0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 Percent of TP Removed (kg) over Baseline Note:The capital cost of the land application alternative could range from$566 million to$688 million, depending on whether leaching of salts would be permitted. This assessment has used the lower range of these estimates to demonstrate the impact of these capital costs on sewer rates and median household income. A similar assessment was performed for increasing levels of DO achieved for each treatment alternative. The percent improvement of DO over baseline for each alternative was evaluated. The capital cost for each alternative was included to indicate the efficiency of each alternative. For example, the metalimnion zone in Long Lake Reservoir experienced improved levels of DO under the filtration and land application/RO alternatives of 1 percent and 4 percent,respectively. 50489308.02 -15- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201 A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201 A-602,TABLE 602 Percent Improvement of Dissolved Oxygen over Baseline by Alternative $900 $800 Reverse Osmosis Reverse Osmosis g $700 $600 Metalimnion Land Application Land Application $500 Upper ® Hypolimnion $400 _ Lower To O.$300 Hypolimnion ca $200 Filtration Filtration $100 $0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 Percent Improvement of DO Over Note:The capital cost of the land application alternative could range from$566 to$688 million,depending on whether leaching of salts would be permitted. This assessment has used the lower range of these estimates to demonstrate the impact of these capital costs on sewer rates and median household income. The assessment of DO improvements shows that point source reductions beyond 95 percent removal of TP do not significantly increase DO levels in the reservoir. Nonpoint, internal recirculation, and natural sources of TP are the dominating factors related to existing DO levels. Even if 100 percent of TP removal was achieved via any of the proposed alternatives,the DO levels in the reservoir would still not meet the Washington surface water quality standard of 8.0 mg/L proposed by Ecology (2004e). In addition,neither the land application alternative nor the RO alternative would significantly improve the DO levels beyond filtration technologies. It would be an inefficient use of public resources to require the City and the County to spend the additional hundreds of millions of dollars to implement land application or RO facilities while not achieving significant marginal benefits over the least-cost alternative. In addition, land application of effluent would likely cause a decrease in summer river flows and could potentially reduce the DO levels in the reservoir. Economic Assessment Conclusions: The following conclusions can be derived from the economic assessment: • The final filtration, land application, and RO alternatives achieve nearly the same results in DO improvement in Long Lake Reservoir, indicating that other sources (including nonpoint and natural sources) are significant contributors to current levels of DO. • The land application and RO alternatives cost considerably more than the final filtration alternative and place a high financial burden on the ratepayers of the City, the County, and other dischargers, exceeding accepted measures of affordability. • The land application alternative is not significantly more effective in mitigating DO, yet it is far more expensive than final filtration. 50489308.02 -16- PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR AMENDMENT TO WAC 173-201A-600,TABLE 600 AND WAC 173-201A-602,TABLE 602 Implementing either the land application alternative or the RO alternative would not be an effective or efficient use of resources. Conclusion The Spokane River UAA report demonstrates that establishing subcategories of uses and criteria specific to the Spokane River, which are protective of existing and attainable uses, can be achieved with the next level of treatment and reasonable levels of nonpoint source control. Therefore, the Spokane River uses subcategories and criteria associated with those uses should be designated through amendment of Washington's surface water quality standard set forth at WAC 173-201A-600, Table 600 and WAC 173-201A-602, Table 602. The Spokane River UAA implementation plan is an affordable plan and achieves appropriate levels of protection of existing and affordable uses, even under the severe 2001 low-flow conditions. The plan provides for the improvement of water quality downstream. Initial investigations of aeration in the reservoir suggest that aeration, when used in conjunction with filtration, could provide significant benefits to the DO levels in the reservoir and should be investigated further. The current rule (WAC 173-201A-600, Table 600 and WAC 173-201A-602, Table 602) does not do what it was intended to do because it does not protect actual existing or attainable uses. As set forth in the Spokane River UAA report, without the amendment to the rule, the City and the County will be forced to incur economic hardship complying with the TMDL, which is based on a surface water quality standard that protects uses that are neither existing nor attainable. 50489308.02 -17- CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: December 21,2004 City Manager Sign-off: Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business x new business [' public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Student Advisory Appointments GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Resolution 04-026 (amending 04-018, amending 04-007 Creating Student Advisory Council) PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The following appointments were approved at the June 1, 2004 Council Study Session: Central Valley High School: Randee Berg, Tanner Daly, Michael Green East Valley High School: Kellie Brennan University High School: Victoria Benson, Paul Heim, Katie Osterback Valley Christian High School: Steven Leeberg West Valley High School: Joseph Neaves Jill Burgard's appointment as the "Student At Large" was approved at the September 28, 2004 council meeting.

On September 28, 2004 Council approved a change order for the completion of the second floor classrooms in the amount of $315,155. On December 14, 2004 Council approved a change order for the award of the Kitchen Equipment supply and installation contract in the amount of$218,331.86. BACKGROUND: It has always been envisioned that CenterPlace would provide a `state of the art' audio and visual presentation system for use by various community and business groups for conferences, classes, seminars, and informational meetings. The proposed AN package provides this `state-of-the-art' technology using automated controls for laptop computers, videos and DVD players, lights, sound, screens, and projectors. The proposed AN system will also provide video from the auditorium to classrooms and to a large screen mobile television on a mobile cart that can be used anywhere within the building. This technology allows for easy-to- use video conferencing and other high-tech multi-media presentations. The data/communication cabling throughout the building necessary to connect all the telephones and computers was not included in the original bid package. This cabling is necessary for the day-to-day operation of the facility but has also been designed to interact with the proposed NV system. In an effort to control and monitor access to CenterPlace, a card access system is proposed. This type of system will allow the CenterPlace staff to issue ID/Access cards to users of the building. These cards can be programmed to limit access to only certain days and/or times. The system will also monitor who enters the building and when they entered. This type of system will reduce the need for replacing locks when keys are lost. A security and alarm system is also proposed to prevent unauthorized access to the building after hours. The security system consists of door sensors and motion detectors that will trip an alarm and send notification to the appropriate authorities for immediate response. City staff and the Project Architect have reviewed the costs and schedule impacts associated with this change order and recommend Council approval. OPTIONS: 1) Approve the proposed change order, 2) not approve the proposed change order, or 3) provide additional direction to staff. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: That the Council authorizes the City Manager to approve and sign Mooney & Pugh's $186,993.00 change order to add AudioNisual Presentation System, Data Cabling, Card Access and Security System to the Centerplace Project. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: These change order items were included as part of the overall CenterPlace budget. The estimated amounts budgeted for each item is as follows: a NV Presentation System $120,000 a Data/Communication Cabling $ 46,000 a Security System/Card Access $27,500 Total $193,500 The Contractor's total price for these items is $186,993.00. If approved, this change order will increase the construction contract amount by $186,993.00. This would bring the total construction contract amount to $8,226,956.00. The project budget anticipated these items and has sufficient funds to cover this change order. STAFF CONTACT: Steve Worley, Senior Engineer Mike Jackson, Parks and Recreation Director.

Utility tax options Several utility tax options have been prepared for council review. A utility tax would assist the General and Street Funds in balancing budgets in future years. A utility tax would also assist in funding capital improvements. Special studies to offset city costs Preparatory work is being done to identify consultants that have experience in allocating operating costs to various city activities. The purpose of this study would be to assign a fair share of city costs to grants so that appropriate grant reimbursements can be made to the city. This effort would also assist the city in recovering costs from city enterprise funds, developers and capital projects funded through outside agencies. Staff is also seeking consultants that conduct impact fee studies. An impact fee would be assessed when a building permit is issued and would be dedicated to paying for capital improvements needed because of growth. Debt service payments on CenterPlace and street bonds In late November the city made the second debt payment on these bonds. The city uses real estate excise tax receipts to pay the principal and interest on the street bonds and relies on the Public Facilities District (PFD) to reimburse the city for the debt service on CenterPlace bonds. The PFD made their reimbursement payments to the city just prior to the payment due date in both May and November. Budget variance/investment reports Reports showing a comparison of fund revenues and expenditures to our 2004 amended budget at November 30, 2004, are attached. If revenues and expenditures flowed to the City equally over twelve months, we would expect to see 91%in the right-hand column. Revenues and expenditures do not flow equally in twelve monthly installments to the city so the percentages appearing in the right hand column will often be skewed. Overall, expenditures are in line with our projections and revenues are exceeding our projections especially in sales tax revenues and planning/building fees. The investment report at November 30, 2004 is also attached. Audit opinion letter Staff expects the clean audit opinion letter to arrive from the State Auditor's Office any day. Once received,the audit opinion will be included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFR)which is sent to financial institutions across the country so that credit information is available to those who own our bonds. Last October staff visited with a bond rating agency and bond insurers in San Francisco prior to selling bonds for CenterPlace and street improvements. At that time there were no audited fmancial statements,revenues were less than anticipated, a$3 million+ start up debt existed and no credit nor financial history was available on our new organization. The completion of our first audit and the preparation of the CAFR begins the process of building a financial history upon which investors and financial institutions can rely when they review city debt. Gambling tax letters Letters went out to operators of punch board and pull tab devices setting payment amounts and due dates for the tax due the city. This tax will be paid over the next eleven quarters in lieu of the former tax. City of Spokane Valley Genera!

CITY OF SPOKANE FY DEPARTMENT OF COMMU QTY DEVELOPMENT NOR [THLY REPORT FOR NOVET tER 2004 I � LONG RANGE PLANNING ©NISI C N Planning Commission The Spokane Valley Planning Commission met once during the month, on November 18, 2004. The Commission's agenda included continuation of a hearing on a proposed amendment to the City's Arterial Road Plan (CPA-07-04). The hearing was continued again to January 13, 2005, to allow City staff sufficient time to review a traffic study submitted by the Applicant. The Commission moved to reconsider the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone request (REZ-17-04). After careful consideration, the Planning Commission moved to recommend Rezone Application No. REZ-17-04, as presented, to the City Council for further consideration and final action. The highlight of the meeting was the election of new Planning Commission Officers for 2005. Commissioner David Crosby will serve as Chair, and Commissioner John G. Carroll will assume the duties of Vice Chair. Planning Commissioners publicly thanked Commissioners Bill Gothmann and Ian Robertson for leading them through their first year and a half. Parks Master Plan/Comp Plan Community Meeting Wrap Up The Spokane Valley Parks Department conducted a community meeting on November 4, 2004, at the Spokane Valley Church of the Nazarene, to begin the process of developing the first Parks Master Plan.

Sprague); a 6,000 sq. ft. Rent-X storage building; a 6,721 sq. ft. special retail space; and the relocation of 24-Hour Fitness (N. 116 Progress). BUILDING DIVISION: The Building Division issued 137 permits in November. This is 60% of the number of permits issued in October. New commercial construction involved four of those permits. Eighteen new single-family dwellings and four two-family structures were also permitted. Although the number of permits dropped in November, the number of both residential and major commercial permits is up for the entire year. 2004 BUILDING PERMITS SOLD 400 _ _ 300- — -- 200 100 r 1 0 J T D c c m o 0 o m ■Con rercial Permits 0 Residential Perrrits Page 3 of 6 City of Spokane Valley Department of Community Development Monthly Report for November 2004 In an effort to compare the number of City of Spokane Valley Building Permits to Actual Value, the following charts have been developed.

Revenue total for FY 2004 as of November 30, 2004 exceeds the projected 2004 revenue estimate of$882,000 by over 48%. The Permit Center reports that there is no noticeable decrease in activity as our community continues to grow. We expect December to continue to be active as interest rates continue to be low and the weather remains seasonably mild. Total construction valuation for this November is over$14 million, which equates to 225% of the construction valuation permitted in November 2003. 2004 BUILDING REVENUE $150,000.00 $125,000.00 $100,000.00- $75,000.00 $50,000.00 $25,000.00 $0.00 - - a rn 0 z C C C O fD A comparison of Building Division fiscal activity through the month of November to annual budget projections can be found on the following page: Page 4 of 6 City of Spokane Valley — -- —� Department of Community Development Monthly Report for November 2004 2004 BUILDING FISCAL ACTIVITY ANNUAL COMPARISON Flans Check Fees License&Permit Fees $0 $00,000 5200,000 5300,000 $400,000 $500,000 $600,000 $700,000 $800,000 $900,000 $1,000,000 t7 Actual YTD Revenue •Annual Revenue Projection In 19 business days we performed 847 inspections. This averages out to just over 44 inspections per day. Although we continue to use on-call inspection staff to supplement our workload, using one on-call inspector five days per week and another on-call inspector intermittently, our current inspection activity exceeds our target level of twelve inspections/inspector/day. Our on-call inspectors performed 312 of the inspections in November. This confirms the assistance these additional staff members have given our full-time staff. Our workload has continued to be more manageable using this labor resource. Over the next few months, we continue to expect a larger volume of inspections since inspection requests track actual permit activity. We continue to expect to use the second on-call inspector for a few months to help us maintain the capacity of excellent customer service the Building Division strives to sustain. 2004 BUILDING INSPECTIONS 1200 1000 800- 600 400 200 0 L T 3 D C C C N O O 0 • Q it < 0 In addition, both of our on-call inspectors have the ICC Building Plans Examiner Certificate. We are currently supplementing our Plans Examiner duties by assigning one individual to the review and approval of one- and two-family residential construction plans. In one week, he was able to clear up a backlog of applications. This will increase our permit output for December. In November, five members of the Building Division attended "Post Earthquake Building Evaluation" training. The program was paid for by Washington Disaster Services. Training our staff to make informed decisions concerning the continued use of damaged structures will benefit our community when disaster strikes. Page 5 of 6 City of Spokane Valley Department of Community Development Monthly Report for November 2004 Commercial permits include a new espresso store at 112 N. Evergreen; a 49,000 square foot industrial building on North Barker Road; and a large addition and renovation at the Exhibition Hall at the Fairgrounds.

Application of the roof tile will be dependent on the amount of snow accumulation, and with the application of asphalt impregnated roofing felt over the roof insulation, the amount of any significant amount of moisture penetration into the structure has been eliminated. Rough-in for mechanical work (ductwork, plumbing) and electrical work (conduit, wiring, and electrical and data boxes installation) is nearing completion. The insulating of the exterior walls in the front two wings is progressing as well as the installation of sound attenuation batts in selected interior walls. With the installation of glass in the windows of the front two wings completed, heating of those areas has commenced along with the installation of gypsum wall board (GWB) in earnest. We are moving closer to finalizing the incorporation of the data cabling, audio/visual equipment and security/alarm systems into the contract with the contractor, and the bid package is currently being developed for the furnishings for the structure. o Evergreen Road/Sutters Sanitary Sewer Project Project complete o 16th Avenue Project Project items to be completed in spring are yard restoration including sprinkler systems, fencing and swales at Dishman-Mica and Pines.

There were a total of 4,790 computer-aided dispatch (CAD) incidents. These are self-initiated officer contacts, as well as calls for service. Out of those 4,790 incidents, 1,537 actual reports were taken during the month of November. Attached is the breakdown describing those incidents. Additionally, there were 1,672 traffic stops conducted that resulted in 188 traffic reports. Included are the hotspot maps for November residential burglaries, November commercial burglaries and November traffic collisions, along with October &November stolen vehicles. ADMINISTRATIVE: November brought about some administrative workgroups and conferences. Staff attended an FBI serial murder workgroup, and the fall WASPC (Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs). We also participated in a very-well attended neighborhood spaghetti feed hosted by Edgecliff SCOPE on Saturday, November 20. Over 350 meals were served, and they netted $1700 plus, after expenses. This money will be used to provide programs and services in the Edgecliff neighborhood. A planning session was held with the various SCOPE leaders, attempting to develop a new SCOPE program where local SCOPE members will be trained to assist in the removal of abandoned vehicles from our neighborhoods. Staff also attended a number of meetings regarding some forthcoming changes that will affect existing service levels and daily operations of Crime Check. This topic will be brought to the Council very soon. COMMUNITY-ORIENTED POLICING: Open House: On November 20, the Spokane Valley Rotary Club sponsored an open house for the Spokane Valley Police Department. Members of the Rotary Club gave guided tours of the police precinct. Member of SCOPE, Crime Prevention, SIRT, and 9-1-1 were present to provide safety information to the public. It was estimated that 250+Valley citizens participated in the tours. 1 OPERATIONS: Valley Shooting Leaves Resident, Suspect Wounded: In a strange but related turn of events, a Spokane Valley resident was shot in the arm, and then a Spokane Valley Police officer shot the suspect. The incident began unfolding when a resident left his home and began speaking to the neighbor across the street who was shoveling the inch-deep snow from his walks. While they were speaking, a window in the resident's Toyota "exploded" and a pistol-brandishing man exited the car. The resident told officers he thought the suspect might have shot out the car's window from the inside. The resident confronted the suspect and the man began running between yards generally northwest from the car. The resident pursued the prowler until the man turned and pointed the pistol at him. At that point, the resident disengaged and returned to his home to call police. The suspect continued running and attempted to commandeer a vehicle at a contracting business. That attempt failed and the suspect reportedly went next door and forced his way into a home. There, a 39-year-old male resident chased the suspect out of the house. However, at the front porch, the suspect reportedly turned and shot the resident in the arm. Spokane Valley Police were just arriving and one officer shot the suspect as the armed man was still facing his victim in the front yard. The suspect fell and was quickly separated from the pistol and handcuffed. The officer who fired on the suspect was placed on routine administrative leave pending outcome of detectives' investigation. The Spokane Valley Police shift commander immediately invoked the Sheriff's Office shooting protocol and major crimes detectives from Spokane Police Dept. were called to work with sheriff's major crimes detectives investigating the numerous crime scenes involved. During the incident, an Officer notified dispatch to contact Pratt Elementary School and advises them of the shooting call. The School was locked down briefly, but was back to normal operations by 8:37 a.m. The resident and suspect were treated at a local hospital. The suspect was booked into jail on one count each of First Degree Kidnapping and First Degree Robbery for the attempted car jacking, and one count of First Degree Assault for shooting the resident in the home he invaded. He was also served an outstanding felony arrest warrant charging him with Escape From Community Custody. Detectives Investigate Apparent Murder/Suicide: After spending nearly all day Tuesday investigating a vehicle prowling turned car jacking turned burglary turned shooting on East Fourth, Spokane County Sheriff's major crimes detectives were called to a South Spokane Valley home to investigate an apparent murder/suicide. Officers were called to a Spokane Valley home where they found a husband and wife in the basement dead of gunshot wounds. The two had been separated the past several weeks. According to a friend, the woman called and asked for a ride downtown to pick up divorce application paperwork. The two women drove to town and collected the documents, and then the wife asked her estranged husband to meet her someplace to fill out the papers. The friend said the husband persuaded the victim to come to his home to fill out the paperwork. When the friend returned, the husband came outside and said they would need more time, perhaps a couple of hours. The friend spoke with the wife on the phone at that time and got no indication that anything was amiss. When the friend returned about 2 p.m., she could hear a television or stereo playing inside, but no one answered the door. The friend drove home and 2 called the Spokane Valley Police and requested a "check the welfare" at the home. Officers responded and after obtaining a key from the sister, entered the home and found the two victims on the floor of the basement bedroom. A small semi-automatic pistol was found between the suspect's feet, and it appeared both had died from gunshot wounds to their heads. Officers and sheriffs chaplains spent several hours contacting next of kin for both victims. Investigation into the matter is ongoing. Fraud Suspects Scamming Valley Residents: ---A group of fraud suspects posing as Spokane Alternative High School students are bilking well-intentioned Valley residents out of cash donations for what sounds like a worthy cause. ---A resident said a man came to his front door and stated he worked for Cox Cable. The suspect said he would shut off the resident's cable television service if he wasn't given $62 in cash. (In fact, Cox Cable has not provided cable television in Spokane County in several years.) ---A woman told Crime Check that she received a call from a woman who said she was with Gold, Kline and Associates, a law firm representing the Publishers Clearing House. The woman told the resident she had won the $500,000 sweepstakes,but needed to send $4,150 to cover a portion of the taxes on the prize. Drink, Or Drive,But Not Both: Beginning November 24 at 9 p.m., emphasis patrols will run on specific nights through New Year's Eve. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funds the project in coordination with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission and Spokane County Traffic Safety Commission. Law enforcement professionals consider Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve the period of time when more drivers are likely to hit the bottle and then the road. Sporting events and holiday celebrations make consumption of alcohol more likely, and the number of motorists driving while impaired increases significantly. Spokane County, Spokane Valley and Spokane are each receiving $3,500 to pay overtime costs for additional officers to work the road hunting DUI's.

Sprague Ave. November 18, 2004 CALL TO ORDER Planning Commission Chair Gothmann called the meeting to order at 6:32 p.m. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Commission, audience, and staff recited the Pledge of Allegiance. III. ROLL CALL Fred Beaulac—Present Bill Gothmann—Present Bob Blum—Present Ian Robertson—Present David Crosby—Present John G. Carroll—Present Gail Kogle—Present IV. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Commissioner Gothmann moved that the November 18, 2004 agenda be approved as presented. Commissioner Crosby seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. V. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Gothmann requested addition of the following sentence to the end of the fifth motion made for REZ-17-04, located at the bottom of Page 4: "Motion tied 3-3. The motion failed. " It was moved by Commissioner Robertson and seconded by Commissioner Kogle that the minutes of the October 14, 2004 Planning Commission meeting be approved as amended. Motion passed unanimously. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. VII. COMMISSION REPORTS Commissioner Crosby reported that the Ad Hoc Sign Committee has completed its immediate work and will be attending the December 9, 2004 Planning Commission meeting for a study session to review changes made to the existing Sign Standards. Commissioner Beaulac attended the Parks Master Plan public meeting on November 4, 2004 at Spokane Valley Church of the Nazarene, as did Commissioner Gothmann. Much of the meeting was dominated by equestrian issues. It was obvious that strong support to keep the Mission Horse Arena open exists. Commissioner Gothmann and several other Commissioners attended the Joint Planning Commissioners' meeting recently. County-Wide Planning Policies (CWPPs) were discussed, and he wanted to assure that all Commissioners receive an updated copy. He asked Ms. Alley to provide Commissioners Crosby, Robertson,Blum and Carroll with a copy. VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Mr. McCormick introduced Mike Basinger to the Commission. Mr. Basinger is an Associate Planner who was recently hired by the City to assist with the Long Range and Current Planning workload. He formerly worked with the Boundary Review Board, and is very familiar with the Spokane Valley and its geographic and governmental evolution. There will be only one Planning Commission meeting in December. It will be held on Thursday, December 9. The meeting schedule will return to the second and fourth Thursdays of each month beginning on January 13, 2005. The County Commission took new action this past week by making population allocations for the City of Spokane Valley and the City of Liberty Lake based on a recommendation by the Steering Committee of Elected Officials. This allocation is calculated to reflect potential growth within the next five years, using available area and resources. The City of Spokane Valley was allocated an additional 20,666 citizens to its population census. The Liberty Lake annexation request was denied by the Boundary Review Board. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. OLD BUSINESS: Continued Public Hearing on Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. CPA-07-04. This hearing was continued by motion on October 14, 2004. Mr. Kuhta directed the Commission's attention to a memorandum written by Sandra Raskell, P.E., dated November 12, 2004. In it, Ms. Raskell explained that the City of Spokane Valley Public Works Department received three copies of the Applicants' Traffic Impact Analysis for Mansfield Avenue Corridor Assessment and Lawson Property on November 10. The City's Public Works Department requested that the public hearing for CPA-07- 04 be tabled until January 13, 2005 to allow staff sufficient time to review and comment on the study. Commissioner Carroll requested a copy of the study to review before the public hearing on January 13. Mr. Kuhta explained that the entire document may not be available,but he would endeavor to make an executive summary available to all Commissioners in the near future. 2 Commissioner Gothmann moved that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing on Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. CPA-07-04 to January 13, 2005. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Robertson. Motion passed unanimously. Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone Application No. REZ-17-04 Before moving on to New Business, Chairman Gothmann requested time to discuss what happened at the public hearing on October 14, 2004, for the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone Application No. REZ-17-04. Several Commissioners expressed dissatisfaction with the tied vote, which resulted in moving the matter to City Council without a recommendation from the Planning Commission. After reviewing "Robert's Rules of Order", Commissioner Gothmann concluded that the Commission could reopen the matter for further discussion if a motion is made to reconsider the original motion. A Motion to Reconsider can be made at the same meeting or at the next meeting if nothing has been done on the motion itself since the last meeting, and a Commissioner on the winning side (Commissioners Crosby, Carroll and Blum) or one who did not vote but is well-versed on the matter(Commissioner Kogle) must make the Motion to Reconsider. It was moved by Commissioner Kogle that the original request for a Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone,Application No. REZ-1 7-04, be reconsidered by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Gothmann seconded the motion. Commissioners Beaulac, Carroll, Crosby, Gothmann and Kogle voted in favor of the motion. Commissioner Blum voted in opposition of the motion. Commissioner Robertson abstained from the vote. Motion carried 5-1. Staff provided the Commissioners copies of handouts from two previous meetings in which the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone request was heard. There was a discussion among Commissioners regarding the responsibility of a government agency to honor original zoning designations which were intended for development in residential areas equally to the zoning requests of residents who wish to limit development in their residential areas. Commissioner Carroll is greatly concerned that if our City continues to restrict development in an increasing number of neighborhoods throughout the Valley, landowners will sell their land and move outside City limits to develop their businesses. Commissioners were reminded that City procedures exist allowing landowners to rezone their property if they choose to do so. It was moved by Commissioner Carroll, and seconded by Commissioner Crosby, that the Planning Commission amend the original motion to approve the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone request as presented by exempting the areas on the map colored in pink, orange and blue-gray. 3 Commissioners Blum, Carroll, and Crosby voted in favor of the amended motion. Commissioners Beaulac, Gothmann, Kogle and Robertson voted in opposition of the amended motion. Motion failed 4- 3. Commissioner Crosby moved that the Planning Commission amend the original motion to approve the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone request as presented by excluding the area west of Flora and north of Mission and the areas on the map colored pink, orange and blue gray. The amended motion was seconded by Commissioner Carroll. Commissioners Carroll and Crosby voted in favor of the amended motion. Commissioners Beaulac,Blum, Gothmann,Kogle and Robertson voted in opposition of the amended motion. Motion failed 5-2. Chairman Gothmann called for a vote on the original motion for the Planning Commission to approve the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone Application No. REZ-17-04, as presented. Commissioners Beaulac, Gothmann,Kogle and Robertson voted in favor of the original motion. Commissioners Blum, Crosby and Carroll voted in opposition of the original motion. Motion passed 4-3. The Planning Commission will additionally request that the Council consider a recommendation to allow those landowners in the pink areas of the map be exempted from paying the City's rezone application fee if they choose to return to the UR-7*Zoning designation within the next two years. Mr. Cary Driskell spoke to the legality of the recommendation for a fee exemption, stating that he would advise against it because it could be construed as a"gift of a fund"by the City to the landowners involved. The Commissioners took a ten-minute break from 7:40—7:50 p.m. B. NEW BUSINESS: Greenacres Area Petition Requesting a Moratorium on New Development. The City Clerk received a request for a temporary moratorium on new development in the North Greenacres area on August 10, 2004. The request was delivered to the City in the form of a petition signed by area residents. City Council has requested that the Planning Commission review the request and forward a recommendation to them. The moratorium request is scheduled to be discussed by the Commission on December 9, 2004. Moratoriums are enacted when there is an immediate threat to the general public's health, safety and welfare. The Commission must decide if current zoning within the North Greenacres area threatens 4 the public's health, safety or welfare and make specific findings reflecting these threats. The Commission discussed the staff report and the issues involved in this request. Mr. Kuhta explained that Mr. Driskell was present to answer any legal questions the Commission might have on this issue. Commissioner Crosby moved that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the moratorium petition to City Council. Mr. Crosby's Motion was seconded by Commissioner Blum. Motion passed unanimously. The Commission agreed that it may want to revisit this moratorium request if the City Council doesn't agree with its recommendations on the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone request. Election of Planning Commission Officers—2005. Mr. McCormick agreed to facilitate the nominations for Commission Chair. Commissioner Robertson nominated Commissioner Gothrnann for the office of Chairman. There was a brief discussion about this nomination because officer positions are limited to two consecutive terms and several Commissioners understood that Mr. Gothmann had served his two terms. Commissioner Blum nominated Commissioner Crosby for the office of Chairman. Commissioner Gothmann received three votes from Commissioners Beaulac, Gothmann and Robertson. Commissioner Crosby received four votes from Commissioners Blum, Carroll, Crosby and Kogle. As a result of majority vote, Commissioner Crosby will serve as Planning Commission Chairman, effective January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Chairman Gothmann facilitated the nominations for Commission Vice Chair. Commissioner Beaulac nominated Commissioner Carroll for the office of Vice Chairman. Commissioner Gothmann nominated Commissioner Robertson for the office of Vice Chairman. Commissioner Carroll received five votes from Commissioners Beaulac, Blum, Carroll, Crosby and Kogle. Commissioner Robertson abstained from voting, and received one vote from Commissioner Gothmann. As a result of majority vote, Commissioner Carroll will serve as Planning Commission Vice Chair, effective January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Commissioners Gothmann and Robertson were commended on their work as officers of the Planning Commission for the past two terms. 5 Deputy Mayor Richard Munson addressed the Commission with regard to a meeting he had attended earlier in the morning. Eastern Washington University has estimated a 5.3% growth in sales tax revenue for all areas of Spokane County except the City of Spokane. He jokingly told Mayor Jim West that the Valley had abandoned its efforts to annex the City of Spokane when they heard that zero growth in sales tax revenues were projected for them. Discussion of Planning Commission Rules of Procedure. This matter was placed on the agenda because of the tie vote at the last Commission meeting regarding the Greenacres Area-Wide Rezone request. The tie vote enabled a public request to be forwarded to City Council without a recommendation from the Planning Commission. After a brief discussion, the Commission agreed that this will seldom occur. If it does, the Chair has the option to extend discussion after the vote instead of ending Commission deliberations without closure. X. FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER There were no matters to discuss. M. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business,the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. SUBMITTED: APPROVED: Debi Alley,Administrative Assistant William H. Gothmann, Chairman 6
