BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 (1) The legislature finds that the
Washington conservation corps, the veterans conservation corps, and
other state and nonprofit service corps contribute significantly to the
priorities of state government to protect natural resources, including
Puget Sound, while providing meaningful work experience for the state's
youth, veterans, unemployed, and under-employed workforces.
(2) The legislature further finds that the long-term health of the
economy of Washington depends on the sustainable management of its
natural resources and that the livelihoods and revenues produced by
Washington's forests, agricultural lands, estuaries, waterways, and
watersheds would be enhanced by targeted, streamlined, and prioritized
investments in clean water and habitat restoration.
(3) The legislature further finds that it is important to stretch
limited public resources to advance the state's natural resource
management priorities. Transformation of natural resource management
and service delivery, including the creation of strategic partnerships
among agencies and nongovernmental partners, will increase the
efficiency and effectiveness of the expenditure of federal, state, and
local funds for clean water and habitat rehabilitation projects.
(4) The legislature further finds that there are efficiencies to be
gained by streamlining how the various conservation corps are
administered, managed, funded, and deployed by the natural resources
agencies. There are further efficiencies to be gained through
coordinating the conservation corps with other state service corps
programs, recruitment activities, and through public-private
partnerships.
(5) The legislature further finds that the state should seek to
expand the conservation corps in all areas of the state, deploying the
corps to work on projects that advance established priorities
including, but not limited to, the cleanup and rehabilitation of the
Puget Sound ecosystem, oil spill response and cleanup, salmon recovery,
and the reduction of wildfire and forest health hazards statewide.
(6) The legislature further finds that individuals with
developmental disabilities would benefit from experiencing a meaningful
work experience, and learning the value of labor and of membership in
a productive society. As such, the legislature urges state agencies
that are participating in the Washington conservation corps program to
consider for enrollment in the program individuals with developmental
disabilities, as defined in RCW 71A.10.020.
(7)(a) Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to maintain
the conservation corps statewide, to collaborate with the veterans
conservation corps, to establish the Puget Sound corps, to streamline
how government administers and manages the state's conservation corps
to more efficiently expend the state's resources toward priority
outcomes, including the recovery of the Puget Sound ecosystem to health
by 2020, to increase opportunities for meaningful work experience, and
to authorize public-private partnerships as a key element of corps
activities.
(b) It is also the intent of the legislature to integrate into the
Puget Sound corps the therapeutic and reintegration intent of the
veterans conservation corps for veterans involved in the Puget Sound
corps.
Sec. 2 RCW 43.220.020 and 1999 c 280 s 1 are each amended to read
as follows:
(1) The Washington conservation corps is ((hereby)) created((, to
be implemented by)). The ((following state departments: The employment
security department, the)) department of ecology((, the department of
fish and wildlife, the department of natural resources, and the state
parks and recreation commission)) must administer the corps as a
partnership with the departments of natural resources and fish and
wildlife, the state parks and recreation commission, and when
appropriate, other agencies and nonprofit organizations to advance the
program goals outlined in section 5 of this act.
(2) The Puget Sound corps is created as a distinct program within
the Washington conservation corps focused on the implementation of the
specific program goals outlined in section 5 of this act.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 3 It is the intent of this act to centralize
the administration of the Washington conservation corps, which was
previously administered by the departments of ecology, natural
resources, and fish and wildlife and the state parks and recreation
commission, into the department of ecology. This act is prospective
only, and any grant awards or conservation corps crew or individual
placements finalized by other agencies or partners prior to the
effective date of this section remain unaffected by this act.

each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) The salmon recovery funding board shall develop procedures and
criteria for allocation of funds for salmon habitat projects and salmon
recovery activities on a statewide basis to address the highest
priorities for salmon habitat protection and restoration. To the
extent practicable the board shall adopt an annual allocation of
funding. The allocation should address both protection and restoration
of habitat, and should recognize the varying needs in each area of the
state on an equitable basis. The board has the discretion to partially
fund, or to fund in phases, salmon habitat projects. The board may
annually establish a maximum amount of funding available for any
individual project, subject to available funding. No projects required
solely as a mitigation or a condition of permitting are eligible for
funding.
(2)(a) In evaluating, ranking, and awarding funds for projects and
activities the board shall give preference to projects that:
(i) Are based upon the limiting factors analysis identified under
RCW 77.85.060;
(ii) Provide a greater benefit to salmon recovery based upon the
stock status information contained in the department of fish and
wildlife salmonid stock inventory (SASSI), the salmon and steelhead
habitat inventory and assessment project (SSHIAP), and any comparable
science-based assessment when available;
(iii) Will benefit listed species and other fish species;

(3) The board may reject, but not add, projects from a habitat
project list submitted by a lead entity for funding.
(4) The board shall establish criteria for determining when block
grants may be made to a lead entity. The board may provide block
grants to the lead entity to implement habitat project lists developed
under RCW 77.85.050, subject to available funding. The board shall
determine an equitable minimum amount of project funds for each
recovery region, and shall distribute the remainder of funds on a
competitive basis. The board may also provide block grants to the lead
entity or regional recovery organization to assist in carrying out
functions described under this chapter. Block grants must be expended
consistent with the priorities established for the board in subsection
(2) of this section. Lead entities or regional recovery organizations
receiving block grants under this subsection shall provide an annual

procedures and standards adopted under this section in the award of
grants or loans to conform to legislative appropriations directing an
alternative award procedure or when the funds to be awarded are from
federal or other sources requiring other allocation procedures or
standards as a condition of the board's receipt of the funds. The
board shall develop an integrated process to manage the allocation of
funding from federal and state sources to minimize delays in the award
of funding while recognizing the differences in state and legislative
appropriation timing.
(6) The board may award a grant or loan for a salmon recovery
project on private or public land when the landowner has a legal
obligation under local, state, or federal law to perform the project,
when expedited action provides a clear benefit to salmon recovery, and
there will be harm to salmon recovery if the project is delayed. For
purposes of this subsection, a legal obligation does not include a
project required solely as a mitigation or a condition of permitting.
(7) Property acquired or improved by a project sponsor may be
conveyed to a federal agency if: (a) The agency agrees to comply with
all terms of the grant or loan to which the project sponsor was
obligated; or (b) the board approves: (i) Changes in the terms of the
grant or loan, and the revision or removal of binding deed of right
instruments; and (ii) a memorandum of understanding or similar document
ensuring that the facility or property will retain, to the extent
feasible, adequate habitat protections; and (c) the appropriate
legislative authority of the county or city with jurisdiction over the
project area approves the transfer and provides notification to the
board.
(8) Any project sponsor receiving funding from the salmon recovery
funding board that is not subject to disclosure under chapter 42.56 RCW
must, as a mandatory contractual prerequisite to receiving the funding,
agree to disclose any information in regards to the expenditure of that
funding as if the project sponsor was subject to the requirements of
chapter 42.56 RCW.
(9) After January 1, 2010, any project designed to address the
restoration of Puget Sound may be funded under this chapter only if the
project is not in conflict with the action agenda developed by the
Puget Sound partnership under RCW 90.71.310.
