"Shall" means a mandate; the action must be done. <br />77. "Shorelands" or "shoreland areas" means those lands extending landward for two <br />hundred (200) feet in all directions as measured on a horizontal plane from the <br />OHWM; floodways and contiguous floodplain areas landward two hundred (200) feet <br />from such floodways; and all wetlands and river deltas associated with the streams, <br />lakes, and tidal waters which are subject to the provisions of this chapter; the same <br />to be designated as to location by the Washington State Department of Ecology. <br />1. Any county or city may determine that portion of a one hundred-(100)-year- <br />floodplain to be included in its master program as long as such portion includes, <br />as a minimum, the floodway and the adjacent land extending landward two <br />hundred (200) feet therefrom. <br />2. Any city or county may also include in its master program land necessary for <br />buffers for critical areas, as defined in RCW Chapter 36.70A, that occur within <br />shorelines of the state, provided that forest practices regulated under RCW <br />Chapter 76.09, except conversions to non-forest land use, on lands subject to the <br />provisions of RCW 90.58.030(2)(d)(ii) are not subject to additional regulations <br />under this chapter. <br /> <br />78.

"Shorelines" means all of the water areas of the state, including reservoirs, and <br />their associated shorelands, together with the lands underlying them; except (i) <br />shorelines of statewide significance; (ii) shorelines on segments of streams <br />upstream of a point where the mean annual flow is twenty cubic feet per second (20 <br />cfs) or less and the wetlands associated with such upstream segments; and (iii) <br />shorelines on lakes less than twenty (20) acres in size and wetlands associated with <br />such small lakes. <br />83. "Shorelines of statewide significance" means the shorelines identified in RCW <br />90.58.030 which because of their elevated status require the optimum <br />implementation of the Shoreline Management Act’s policies.
