Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program Appendix B 191 March 7, 2016 Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners Shoreline Master Program Adopting Ordinance Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program Exhibit A | March 2016 | Page 191 of 339 Appendix B Shoreline Environment Designation Descriptions Department of Ecology SMP Guidelines (WAC 173-26-221)(2)(b)) requires master programs to contain an up-to-date and accurate map of the shoreline area delineating the environment designations and their boundaries. These maps are included in Appendix to this SMP. This SMP also includes “common boundary descriptions” to accurately define and distinguish the boundaries of the environments on the ground. The table below provides these common boundary descriptions. In the event of a mapping error, Kittitas County will rely upon these common boundary descriptions and the criteria contained in Chapter 4 of this SMP, rather than the incorrect or outdated map.
