6. lnstream structures. lnstream structures shall onlv be allowed as part of a Countv- approved restoration proiect. The structure shall be designed to avoid modifying flows and water oualiV in ways that may adversely affect habitat conservation areas. 7. Stormwater convevance and discharqe facilities. Stormwater convevance or discharoe facilities such as dispersion trenches. level spreaders. and outfalls may be placed within the outer 25% of a standard fish and wildlife habitat conservation area buffer on a case-bv-case basis when the Director determines that allthe followinq are met:a. Due to topoqraphic or other phvsical constraints. there are no feasible locations for flraoa fanilifiac nr rloir.l e the standa rA anrl rrrildlifo hehilef nnncanrafinn hr rffar' b. The discharqe is located as far from the ordinarv hiqh water mark (OHWM) as possible and in a manner that minimizes disturbance of soils and veqetation:c. The discharoe outlet is located in the outer 25% of the standard buffer and is desiqned to prevent erosion and promote infiltration: andd. The discharoe meets state water quality standards. includino total maximum daily load (TMDL) standards as appropriate at the point of discharqe. B. Onsite sewage systems and wells.a. New on-site sewage systems and/or individualwells may be placed within standard aquatic fish and wildlife habitat conservation area buffers onlv if:i. There are no alternative locations outside of the buffer:ii. lt complies with all state and local requlations: and iii. The onsite sewaqe system and/or well is accessory to an approved residential structure. for which it is not feasible to connect to a public sanitarv sewer system. and is subiect to approval bv the Director on a case bv case basis. b. Repairs to failinq on-site sewaqe systems associated with an existinq structure shall be accomplished by utilizinq one of the followinq methods that result in the least impact:i. Connection to an available public sanitary sewer slrstem:ii. Reolacement with a new on-site sewaqe svstem located in a portion of the site that has alreadv been disturbed by development and is located landward from the habitat area as far as possible. provided the proposed sewaoe svstem is in compliance with the Kittitas Countv Health Department: or iii. Repair to the existinq on-site septic svstem. 17A.04.060 Reportinq. 1. When required. lf a proposed development is located within or adiacent to a known or suspected fish and wildlife habitat conservation area. the Director shall require the applicant to submit a habitat manaoement plan prepared by a qualified professional, defined in KCC 17A.02.620. which includes the information listed in this section. The requirement to provide a habitat manaqement plan for fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas mav be waived on a case bv case basis if the Director determines that there are no potential direct and/or indirect impacts on desiqnated species or habitats that would result from the proposed develooment.2. Gontents. When required bv this chapter. habitat manaqement plans for habitat conservation shall include the qeneral critical areas report requirements. as described in KCC 174.01.080. in addition the followinq: a. ldentification of any state or federal endanqered. threatened. sensitive, or candidate species that have a primary association with habitat on the proiect area:b. Map showing the location of the ordinary hioh water mark and/or locations of fish and wildlife habitat conservation area(s) and their buffers in accordance with KCC 174.04.020: 43
