<br /> <br />Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program <br />Chapter 6 109 <br />March 7, 2016 <br />Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners Shoreline Master Program Adopting Ordinance <br />Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program Exhibit A | March 2016 | Page 109 of 339 <br />6. Pile or pier supports shall be preferred over fill for water-dependent uses and <br />facilities. <br /> <br />7. Unless site characteristics dictate otherwise, fill material within surface waters or <br />wetlands shall be sand, gravel, rock, or other clean material, with a minimum <br />potential to degrade water quality. <br /> <br />8. Fill placement shall be scheduled at times having the least impact to fish spawning, <br />nesting patterns, and other identified natural processes. <br /> <br />9. Fill shall be stabilized with native vegetation where appropriate to prevent erosion, <br />migration of sediments and other material from the fill area to surrounding water, <br />shore, and wetlands, unless technical consultation with other regulating agencies <br />indicates alternative means are required. <br /> <br />10. Projects that propose fill shall make every effort to acquire fill on-site (also known as <br />compensatory storage) where appropriate. <br /> <br />11. Excavation that occurs either waterward of the OHWM or within wetlands shall be <br />considered dredging for purposes of this Program. <br />12. Filling, grading or excavation shall not be located where shoreline stabilization will <br />be necessary to protect materials placed or removed. Disturbed areas shall be <br />immediately stabilized and re-vegetated, as applicable. <br />13. Filling, grading, and excavation shall be designed to blend physically and visually <br />with existing topography whenever possible, so as not to interfere with long-term <br />appropriate use including lawful access and enjoyment of scenery. <br />14. Cut and fill slopes shall generally be no steeper than one (1) foot vertical for every <br />three (3) feet horizontal unless a specific engineering analysis has been provided <br />certifying that the proposed slope is stable, and the Administrator determines that <br />the fill blends physically and visually with existing topography. <br />15. A temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) plan, consistent with the <br />standards found in the Stormwater Manual for Eastern Washington, shall be <br />provided for all proposed filling, grading, and excavation activities. <br />16. Excavation and grading for the primary purpose of restoration of shoreline habitat <br />and the natural character of the shoreline must demonstrate the following: <br />a. The site is currently degraded and provides limited ecological function; and <br />b. The restoration project will result in a net increase in ecological function within <br />the project boundaries; and <br />c. The project complies with the provisions of Section 5.2 Environmental protection <br />and critical areas.
