<br />Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners Shoreline Master Program Adopting Ordinance <br />Kittitas County Shoreline Master Program Exhibit D | March 2016 | Page 294 of 339 <br /> <br />12. Filling, grading or excavation shall not be located where shoreline stabilization will be <br />necessary to protect materials placed or removed. Disturbed areas shall be immediately <br />stabilized and re-vegetated, as applicable. <br />13. Filling, grading, and excavation shall be designed to blend physically and visually with <br />existing topography whenever possible, so as not to interfere with long-term appropriate use <br />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 three (3) <br />feet horizontal unless a specific engineering analysis has been provided certifying that the <br />proposed slope is stable, and the Administrator determines that the fill blends physically and <br />visually with existing topography. <br />15. A temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) plan, consistent with the standards found <br />in the Stormwater Manual for Eastern Washington, shall be provided for all proposed filling, <br />grading, and excavation activities. <br />16. Excavation and grading for the primary purpose of restoration of shoreline habitat and the <br />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 the <br />project boundaries; and <br />c. The project complies with the provisions of KCC 17B.05.020 Environmental protection <br />and critical areas. <br /> <br />17B.06.090 Forest practices. <br />A. Policies. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.480, the forest practices policies of the 2016 Kittitas <br />County Shoreline Master Program shall be considered as policies of the Kittitas County <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />B.

The activities are not associated with a harvest under a Class IV–General application to <br />convert forest land to non-forestry use. <br />2. Non-federal forest practices not meeting criteria (a), (b), or (c) above shall require a <br />conditional use permit. <br />3. Non-federal forest practices not meeting criteria (d) above (Class 1 forest practices activities <br />not requiring DNR approval) shall be reviewed as separate uses or activities. <br />4. Non-federal forest practices not meeting criteria (e) above shall be reviewed as a new <br />proposed use. <br />5. Within the shoreline jurisdiction, development activities associated with timber harvest (such <br />as road construction), land conversion of forest land to non-forest uses, and forest practices <br />not meeting any of the exemptions listed above must conform to all applicable provisions of <br />this Program. <br />
