             WHEREAS, The celebration of our Irish heritage and spiritual roots occurs annually on Saint Patrick's Day when we enjoy songs, pipe music, limericks and tales, watch for leprechauns, search for four-leaf clovers, march in parades, and pinch people who fail to wear green; and

             WHEREAS, The first Saint Patrick's Day parade was held by General George Washington and his troops during the Revolutionary War; and

             WHEREAS, A sixteen year old British youth named Patricius was kidnapped by roving Irish brigands at the beginning of the fifth century A.D., torn from the Roman civitas, and transported to the bleak ards of Antrim where he was enslaved as a sheepherder by a local chieftain known as Miliucc; and

             WHEREAS, During six years of dreary captivity, starvation, and depravation, the youth Patricius tended flocks and began to follow the Christian religion of his parents with constant prayer; and

             WHEREAS, Upon hearing a voice telling him that his hungers as a slave would be rewarded and he would return home, Patricius began a journey that would lead him from Ireland, back to his parent's home in Britain, to study for the priesthood in Gaul, and finally to return to his true home in Ireland as an ordained priest and bishop where his spiritual life had begun; and

             WHEREAS, Patricius brought Christianity to Ireland with a message of love, spoke out fervently against slavery and violence, and became the beloved Saint Patrick;

             NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives honor Saint Patrick, his rich message of love, the Irish people, and all the smiling Irish eyes.

             NEW SECTION. Sec. 9. A new section is added to chapter 75.20 RCW to read as follows:

             The department shall develop a pilot project to authorize the issuance of hydraulic permits by a county. Upon authorization, the county shall issue permits according to the department's rules. The county receiving authorization may impose fees to cover the costs of permit processing, except that no fees may be imposed for fish habitat restoration projects permitted under RCW 75.20.350. Such authorization agreement shall contain provisions for effective monitoring and enforcement of hydraulic permits. The department shall not delegate rule-making authority in the pilot program. The department shall report the results of the pilot project to the legislature by December 31, 2000. This section expires June 30, 2001.


             Sec. 10. RCW 90.60.010 and 1995 c 347 s 601 are each amended to read as follows:

             The legislature hereby finds and declares:

             (1) Washington's environmental protection programs have established strict standards to reduce pollution and protect the public health and safety and the environment. The single-purpose programs instituted to achieve these standards have been successful in many respects, and have produced significant gains in protecting Washington's environment in the face of substantial population growth.

             (2) Continued progress to achieve the environmental standards in the face of continued population growth will require greater coordination between the single-purpose environmental programs and more efficient operation of these programs overall. Pollution must be prevented and controlled and not simply transferred to another media or another place. This goal can only be achieved by maintaining the current environmental protection standards and by greater integration of the existing programs.

             (3) As the number of environmental laws and regulations have grown in Washington, so have the number of permits required of business and government. This regulatory burden has significantly added to the cost and time needed to obtain essential permits in Washington. The increasing number of individual permits and permit authorities has generated the continuing potential for conflict, overlap, and duplication between the various state, local, and federal permits.

             (4) The purpose of this chapter is to institute new, efficient procedures that will assist businesses and public agencies in complying with the environmental quality laws in an expedited fashion, without reducing protection of public health and safety and the environment.

             (5) Those procedures need to provide a permit process that promotes effective dialogue and ensures ease in the transfer and clarification of technical information, while preventing duplication. It is necessary that the procedures establish a process for preliminary and ongoing meetings between the applicant, the coordinating permit agency, and the participating permit agencies, but do not preclude the applicant or participating permit agencies from individually coordinating with each other.

             (6) It is necessary, to the maximum extent practicable, that the procedures established in this chapter ensure that the coordinated permit agency process and applicable permit requirements and criteria are integrated and run concurrently, rather than consecutively.

             (7) It is necessary to provide a reliable and consolidated source of information concerning federal, state, and local environmental and land use laws and procedures that apply to any given proposal.

             (8) It is the intent of this chapter to provide an optional process by which a project proponent may obtain active coordination of all applicable regulatory and land-use permitting procedures. This process is not to replace individual laws, or diminish the substantive decision-making role of individual jurisdictions. Rather it is to provide predictability, administrative consolidation, and, where possible, consolidation of appeal processes.

             (9) It is also the intent of this chapter to provide consolidated, effective, and easier opportunities for members of the public to receive information and present their views about proposed projects.

             (10) It is also the intent of this chapter to provide a forum for the resolution of significant issues related to the permitting and authorization of projects that are proposed on state-owned aquatic lands. "Aquatic lands" have the meaning provided in RCW 79.90.010. The inability of state government to speak with one voice is a source of great frustration for project applicants. Projects on state-owned aquatic lands can bring existing conflicts between statutory and regulatory authorities, and between state agency missions and policies, into sharper focus. It is a goal of this chapter to encourage all agencies and local governments that authorize projects on state-owned aquatic lands to accept full and equal responsibility for project review, and to resolve conflicts among state agency authorities, missions, and policies wherever possible. It is also the intent of this chapter that all permitting or authorizing federal and state agencies, local governments, and tribal governments be involved in identifying and resolving issues related to permits or authorizations from the outset of any review process, that these agencies and governments respect the legitimacy of the missions and mandates of other agencies and governments, and that they reach consensus on environmental review of projects.

             (11) The legislature finds that the coordination of a process to analyze permitting issues, and to resolve interagency disputes related to the permitting of projects, is a natural outgrowth of the original duties of the permit assistance center.


             Sec. 11. RCW 90.60.020 and 1995 c 347 s 602 are each amended to read as follows:

             Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter.

             (1) "Center" means the permit assistance center established in the ((commission [department])) department by RCW 90.60.030.

             (2) "Coordinating permit agency" means the permit agency that has the greatest overall jurisdiction over a project.

             (3) "Department" means the department of ecology.

             (4) "Local government" means counties, cities, and towns.

             (5) "Participating permit agency" means a permit agency, or a state agency or local government other than the coordinating permit agency, that is responsible for the issuance of a permit or use authorization for a project.

             (((5))) (6) "Parties" collectively means the coordinating permit agency, permit agency, and participating permit agency.

             (7) "Permit" means any license, certificate, registration, permit, or other form of use authorization required by a permit agency to engage in a particular activity.

             (((6))) (8) "Permit agency" means:

             (a) The department of ecology, an air pollution control authority, the department of natural resources, the department of fish and wildlife, and the department of health; and

             (b) Any other state or federal agency or county, city, or town that participates at the request of the permit applicant and upon the agency's agreement to be subject to this chapter.

             (((7))) (9) "Project" means an activity, the conduct of which requires permits from one or more permit agencies.

             (10) "Use authorization" means a lease, material purchase, easement, permit, or other document authorizing use of state-owned aquatic lands and/or materials.

A state agency or local government shall provide a reasonable number of copies of application forms, statutes, ordinances, rules, handbooks, and other informational material requested by the center and shall otherwise fully cooperate with the center. The center shall seek the cooperation of relevant federal agencies and tribal governments;

             (((2))) (b) Establish, and make known, a point of contact for distribution of the handbook and advice to the public as to its interpretation in any given case;

             (((3))) (c) Work closely and cooperatively with the business license center in providing efficient and nonduplicative service to the public;

             (((5))) (e) Collect and disseminate information to public and private entities on federal, state, local, and tribal government programs that rely on private professional expertise to assist governmental agencies in project permit review; and

             (((6))) (f) Provide ((an annual)) a biennial report to the legislature ((on potential conflicts and perceived inconsistencies among existing statutes.

             (v) Shows revenues generated by the center's services, and the center's budget and expenditures.

             (2) The department shall prioritize the expenditure of general fund moneys allotted to the center to provide a set of services to the applicants of small projects.


             Sec. 14. RCW 90.60.100 and 1995 c 347 s 610 are each amended to read as follows:

             (1) The ((coordinating permit agency)) parties may enter into a written cost-reimbursement agreement with the applicant to recover from the applicant the reasonable costs incurred by the ((coordinating permit agency)) parties in carrying out the requirements of this chapter, as well as the requirements of other relevant laws, as they relate to permit coordination, environmental review, application review, technical studies, and permit processing.

             (2) The ((coordinating permit agency may recover only the costs of performing those coordinated permit services and)) written cost-reimbursement agreement shall be negotiated with the permit applicant ((in)) following the meeting required pursuant to RCW 90.60.070. Permit agencies may assign work to current staff, temporary staff, or technical consultants in order to carry out the work covered by the written cost-reimbursement agreement or the work remaining for the permit agency as a result of the coordinated permit process.

             "The legislature finds that it is important to monitor the overall health of the salmon resource to determine if recovery efforts are providing expected returns. It is also important to monitor the effectiveness of the state’s overall salmon recovery efforts to secure federal acceptance of the state’s approach to salmon recovery. In addition, it is important to monitor salmon restoration projects to determine their effectiveness. Adaptive management cannot exist without monitoring. For these reasons, the legislature believes that a coordinated and integrated monitoring process should be developed in the salmon recovery office for use by local recovery efforts. The role of the salmon recovery office should be to develop and provide to entities involved in salmon recovery data quality objectives, a range of acceptable parameters to monitor, acceptable data formats, data calibration and coordination, a method of storing and retrieving data, and analysis and interpretation of data. The role of local recovery efforts should be to collect monitoring data in compliance with the recommended data quality objectives, parameters, and formats, and to provide such data to the state salmon recovery office for storage."

             On page 3,after line 29, insert the following:

             "(5) The independent science panel, in conjunction with the salmon recovery office, shall recommend standardized monitoring indicators and data quality guidelines for use by entities involved in salmon recovery activities across the state. The panel shall also recommend electronic formats that will allow data to be provided to the state salmon recovery office for storage and to be shared across the state in a salmon monitoring network.

             (5) State salmon monitoring data provided by lead entities, regional fisheries enhancement groups, and others, shall be included in the salmon and steelhead inventory and assessment project.

             (6) The independent science panel, in conjunction with the salmon recovery office, shall also recommend criteria for the systematic and periodic evaluation of monitoring data in order for the state to be able to answer critical questions about the effectiveness of the state’s salmon recovery efforts.

             (7) The recommendations on monitoring as required in this section shall be provided in a report to the governor and to the legislature by the independent science panel, in conjunction with the salmon recovery office, no later than December 31, 2000. The report shall also include recommendations on the level of effort needed to sustain monitoring of salmon projects and other recovery efforts, and any other recommendations on monitoring deemed important by the independent science panel, in conjunction with the salmon recovery office."

These records are to be maintained for at least ((two)) one year((s)) after the placement of the advertisement.

The director shall promptly notify the applicant in writing by certified mail of its intent to refuse to renew the registration. The registrant may, within twenty-one days after receipt of that notice or intent, request a hearing on the refusal.

             "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 90.14 RCW to read as follows:

             (1) Certain persons who submitted a water right claim form with the department between September 1, 1997, and June 30, 1998, and whose claim was rejected by the department because the department deemed the claim to be incomplete and thus not in compliance with RCW 90.14.051 may submit additional information as provided in subsection (2) of this section in support of the claim between July 1, 1999, and December 31, 1999. The persons eligible to submit additional information under this section and to receive further consideration for the registering of their claims are those who meet the following qualifications:

             (a) The person checked the box labeled "other" on the water right claim form in part 12 where it asks the claimant to state the legal doctrine under which the person is claiming a water right;

             (b) The premise of the person's claim of a water right for ground water is that a right to ground water was inherent in and appurtenant to the original land patent issued by the federal government at the time the person's land was severed from federal ownership. The original water right claim form submitted to the department need not have asserted this premise for the person to be qualified to receive further consideration under this section.

             (2) Persons meeting the qualifications in subsection (1) of this section may submit to the department a statement that their claim to a ground water right is based on the assertion that such right accompanied the federally issued land patent for lands they now own or occupy. The claimant must also submit with his or her statement a bona fide copy of the original land patent document issued by the United States. The water right claim of a person meeting the qualifications established in this section and submitting the statement and bona fide copy of his or her land patent as required by this subsection is deemed sufficient in lieu of compliance with RCW 90.14.051 and 90.14.068 and shall be accepted for filing in the water rights claims registry by the department.

             (3) This section does not apply to other claims the department rejected as ineligible for filing under RCW 90.14.068(5) or (6), for failure to submit a substantially complete statement of claim as required in RCW 90.14.051, for failure to remit the filing fee required by RCW 90.14.061, or for submitting a claim for a purpose that is exempt from the requirement to submit a claim under RCW 90.14.041. The registering of claims under this section as directed by the legislature confers upon those claims no special status or recognition and is subject to chapter 90.14 RCW as is any other claim submitted in a timely manner."

             HOUSE BILL NO. 1264, by Representatives D. Schmidt, Scott, Mulliken, Fisher, Quall, Wolfe and Schoesler

 

Making corrections regarding combining water-sewer districts.


SPEAKERS' RULING


             Speaker Chopp: "Representative Fisher, the Speakers are prepared to rule on your scope and object request on amendment 43 to House Bill No. 1264 (For amendment, see Journal, 65th Day, March 16, 1999).


             In ruling on scope and object, the Co-Speakers reviewed the scope of the bill as expressed in its title and the object, or purpose of the substantive provisions of the bill.


             The scope of House Bill No. 1264 is an act "relating to combining of sewer and water districts".


             Amendment 43 extends for one year a requirement that a city obtain voter approval from the residents of a water-sewer district before assuming control of all or a portion of the district. The amendment is unrelated to the "combining" of sewer and water districts.


             The Co-Speakers find that the amendment is beyond the scope and object of the bill.


             Representative Fisher, your Point of Order is well taken."


             The bill was ordered engrossed.


             There being no objection, the rules were suspended the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.
