SECTION II Capital Facilities of Non-County Agencies Necessary to Support Development

This section is included in your selections.

There are other important public facilities and services that serve the residents of the unincorporated areas of Snohomish County. Snohomish County does not perform detailed system planning or provide financing for these facilities, however, the county is obligated by the GMA to incorporate inventory information and future needs analysis for some of these facilities into its capital facilities plan. This requirement is intended to assure that county land use planning and the facility planning conducted by these other public agencies are coordinated. Public water supply, public wastewater conveyance and treatment, public schools, and electric power are of particular importance to the county comprehensive planning process.

Detailed system plans or other planning documents for a specific agency’s system, or other summary documents prepared by the county, are sometimes noted or referenced. Inventory information is as up-to-date as possible but may be several years old, depending upon the last time that the provider agency modeled its system or was required by state regulations to update its system plan.

Non-county provider agencies prepare their own capital plans under their own processes, procedures, boards, elected officials, state regulations and timelines that are outside of county authority and independent from Growth Management Act requirements. While the county relies on provision of these services to meet requirements under the Growth Management Act, the county does not control the content or timing of updates to these external plans. The county relies on these external functional plans when they are consistent with the county’s future land use plan and the underlying assumptions related to population and employment growth. The county reviews these external functional plans to ensure that the planned capital facilities are adequate to support the expected growth both in scope and location. External functional plans are relied on by the county for the limited purpose of determining whether the areas designated in the county’s land use element for growth will be served by adequate public facilities at a level commensurate with the level of growth or development designated in the county’s comprehensive plan.

This Capital Facility Plan contains a summary and synthesis of the information from the external functional plans showing how the various providers, when taken together, provide adequate public facilities as necessary to support the expected growth over the relevant planning horizon.

Section 2.1 - Electric Power UR
This section is included in your selections.
This subsection is included in your selections.

The Snohomish Public Utility District #1 (PUD) supplies electric power to customers throughout Snohomish County. The Countywide Utility Inventory Report for Snohomish County was expanded in 1996 to include a section addressing electric power supply. The following paragraphs are summaries from that document. They also reflect additional current information from the PUD.

Electric power for Snohomish County is generated by several sources located within and outside of the county. The local power network is a part of the much larger electrical grid that serves Puget Sound and the greater Pacific Northwest region. The primary sources of power for the electrical grid are the hydroelectric generating stations along the Columbia River. Much of the county’s electrical power is imported from outside the county by means of high voltage transmission lines that transport power from these remote sources to the local users.

The principal local source of electrical power is the Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Station at the Culmback Dam on the Sultan River. The Sultan River Complex supplies water to the city of Everett and generates electrical power for the PUD. The output from this project supplied about 4% of the PUD’s total load demand in 2011, with most of the remainder supplied by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The PUD specifically maintains 89 substations, 5 operation centers, 6 local offices, 1 training center, 1 electric building, and 1 annex building. These facilities comprise most of the PUD’s capital facility infrastructure that helps serve Snohomish County customers. Other electric power providers own and maintain major transmission facilities in Snohomish County which serve customers outside the county. Major transmission corridors with 115kV, 230kV, 345kV and 500kV lines carry power into and through Snohomish County. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Puget Sound Energy (PSE), and Seattle City Light (SCL) own most of these high voltage transmission facilities. The PUD also owns about 304 miles of 115kV and 5,891 miles of 12.5kV distribution lines.

General information concerning the location of major transmission corridors can be obtained from the map of Open Space Corridors/Greenbelt Areas which accompanies the General Policy Plan. More specific information about PUD substations is in the Capital Facilities Inventory Matrix in Appendix A – pp A8-A13.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Minimum LOS for Electric Power is expressed in terms of an annual "minimum level of investment" in infrastructure based on current population projections and is evaluated on an annual basis.

This subsection is included in your selections.

The information in the following paragraphs is excerpted from the Countywide Utility Inventory Report for Snohomish County, which was expanded in 1996 to include sections addressing electric power and other utilities.

Electric load forecasting and facility planning is conducted by the Snohomish County Public Utility District No. 1 (PUD) as part of its regular planning and management operations. The PUD staff has prepared a long-range (20-year) capital electrical system plan that addresses conservation as well as facility needs during the 2013-2032 period and a Horizon Plan for the next 60 years.

Major facility needs required in the short term to accommodate projected growth in demand are addressed in the PUD’s annual Seven-Year Capital Plan.

The PUD Long Range 20-Year Capital Plan (Plan) summarizes the District’s high voltage electric system needs necessary to serve Snohomish County and Camano Island over the next 20 years, 2013-2032. The peak load is projected to be over 1800 megawatts. The Plan identifies major capital additions, expansions, upgrades, and replacements to the high voltage electric system infrastructure required to serve existing and expected new customers.

The Plan has identified three areas of concern: 1) the need to increase the system capacity of the Northern Area of the District’s service territory by adding a new 230/115kV, 300 MVA transformer at Stimson Crossing by 2025 or sooner; 2) the need to reconductor overloaded lines in the Southern Area; and 3) existing point of delivery capacity from BPA Snohomish and BPA SnoKing substations based on the age of the transformers and the adequacy of the energy supply from BPA to the PUD.

The Electric Facilities Horizon Plan summarizes the PUD’s high voltage electric system needed to serve Snohomish County and Camano Island horizon (or saturation) loads based on anticipated comprehensive land uses. The PUD’s planning process method used continually views the future and the ultimate changes in the environment. The PUD expects that projects identified in this Plan are those which are anticipated to be required to meet PUD’s ultimate electric load (up to the next 60 years). The ultimate build out peak is forecasted to be 4014 megawatts. Five categories of system improvements were identified to meet the PUD’s Horizon Plan. Summary descriptions of the improvements are:

1.Increase the source capacity in the Northern area of the system.

2.Construct a switching station near the Kellogg Marsh Tap.

3.Provide additional capacity in the Southern area.

4.Reconductor existing lines and replace other necessary equipment such as switches to meet or exceed the new line conductor capacity.

5.Add 115kV capacitor banks required for voltage support.

The PUD Horizon Plan assumes, for example, that the present network of transmission corridors within Snohomish County, of all the electric power agencies, will be accessible for additions and upgrades to the PUD electric system. Facility needs are also influenced by the PUD’s standards for reliability. The reliability standards adopted by the PUD do allow for periodic outages under certain emergency conditions. Reliability criteria are provided in the PUD planning document entitled―General Planning Guidelines for Electric Facilities. PUD is also required to comply with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s (NERC) Reliability Standards and Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s (WECC) Reliability Criteria in addition to the planning guidelines.

Adequacy of electric power infrastructure is presented in the Electric Facilities Horizon Plan and is evaluated/verified annually in the county’s statement of assessment in the CIP.

The PUD has a goal of meeting a portion of its projected increase in demand through conservation programs. These energy conservation investments will also create economic diversification opportunities and keep the money spent on conservation within the community. The PUD is planning to achieve its conservation goals through a variety of cost-effective, low-income weatherization, and energy-efficient services.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Energy conservation, energy efficiency activities, and use of renewable energy sources are also inherent activities to achieving the GMA’s planning goals via capital facilities planning.

The need for energy efficiency is fundamental to one of the primary goals of the GMA: to concentrate growth in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services can be provided in an efficient manner; reduce sprawl; and encourage efficient multimodal transportation systems. Similarly, the need for energy conservation, investment in renewable energy and planning for climate change are essential toward meeting the GMA planning goals regarding protection of the environment and economic development.

Snohomish County has supported several initiatives encouraging energy conservation and the development of renewable resources to implement state mandates and initiatives. Snohomish County, in accordance with the state, issued Executive Order 07-48 in 2007 which established a goal for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to twenty percent below 2000 levels and formed a Green Ribbon Task Force charged with developing a plan for adapting to climate change and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Partnerships with municipalities, public agencies, private entities, and the public are and will be essential for Snohomish County to manage energy resources and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the future. Partnerships will also be essential for the county to fully integrate continuing efforts in energy conservation, efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gases into the development of long-range land use and transportation plans as well as capital facility planning.

Section 2.2 - Public Schools UR
This section is included in your selections.
This subsection is included in your selections.

Snohomish County is served by 15 public school districts, which are special units of government created by the State of Washington that are operated and governed by locally elected school boards. Two of these districts, Northshore and Stanwood-Camano Island, serve parts of adjacent counties as well as parts of Snohomish County. Ten of these districts currently participate in the county’s school impact fee program. This requires them to submit a capital facilities plan for county approval. That plan must meet the specifications of the GMA for capital facility plans, state requirements for imposing and collecting impact fees (RCW 82.02) and subsequent Snohomish County Code for collecting impact fees (30.66C SCC) that are summarized in Appendix F of the GPP.

More detailed information about each district’s school facilities, including the undeveloped sites as well as the developed schools and portable classrooms, can be found in the adopted school capital facilities plan for the last biennial plan update. The table below summarizes the existing school facilities and student capacities at the elementary, middle, and high school levels for 14 school districts (Information for the Index school district was not reported). The Index, Darrington, Stanwood/Camano Island, Granite Falls and Arlington school districts have not submitted capital facilities plans for the 2014 biennial update. These school districts have stagnant or declining student enrollments and therefore do not participate in the impact fee program and do not report planning information to Snohomish County. The numbers for these districts are from the 2004-2009 school CFPs. The table provides information on “permanent” capacity in permanent school buildings. The numbers for the other school districts are as reported in their 2014-2019 capital facilities plans.

Most of the county’s school districts make extensive use of "portable" classrooms to provide interim capacity for students when the permanent capacity in a school is exhausted. This is in addition to their permanent facilities. It is common for Snohomish County school districts to have one or more portables in active use at anywhere from 50% to as high as 100% of their school sites. The Edmonds School District is one exception, which has very few portables in use.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Each school district establishes minimum LOS standards for public schools in its CFP. These standards typically address such issues as maximum average class size. Each school CFP includes description of the district’s program education standards that relate to school capacity. Minimum LOS plus education and facility standards are published in each school district’s CFP.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Capital facility plans meeting GMA and county code Chapter 30.66C requirements were first prepared in 1998 by 13 of the county’s 15 school districts. This was a transition year from school mitigation fees under the county’s former SEPA-based mitigation fee system to a GMA-based impact fee system (currently codified as Chapter 30.66C SCC). These plans contained all of the mandatory elements required of CFPs by the GMA, including a forecast of future needs and a 6-year financing plan. These plans were adopted by Snohomish County toward the end of 1998 and were incorporated into the county Capital Facilities Plan. School capital facility plans are updated by the school districts every two years (beginning in 2000 to present) and approved by the county council as required for continued participation in the school impact fee program pursuant to GPP Policy CF 10.A.3 and Chapter 30.66C SCC. The current school district plans for 2014-2019 were adopted by Snohomish County in December 2014.

School capital facility planning is driven by projections of future enrollment, which may be performed by the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), or by the district, utilizing OSPI’s established "cohort survival" methodology, sometimes with variations and sometimes without. These methods allow projections of future enrollment to be made for a period of 6 years, which corresponds to the typical "horizon" for school district planning, as well as for the required financing plan period. The district plans also include an enrollment forecast to the year 2035, which is performed under a different methodology that utilizes the district’s projected population growth as a primary indicator.

The adequacy of school district infrastructure is only evaluated for a six-year time period. The school districts consider and project student populations over a twenty-year time frame but do not make projections of infrastructure needs out twenty years. This is partially because the state of Washington will not provide matching capital funds to school districts until they show shortfalls of student capacities to specific projects. Therefore, school districts do not project their housing needs beyond six years.

Generally, the school districts consider portable classrooms to be providing "interim" capacity as a temporary measure until the necessary "permanent" capacity can be brought on-line. This is the equivalent of having a seat in a permanent school building for every enrolled student. Many of the participating school districts are planning some form of capacity expansion over the next six years. This is a necessary pre-condition to collecting impact fees (which cannot be used to address "existing deficiencies"). Capacity expansions found in the district plans include everything from small elementary school additions to new high school building projects. Countywide, expanding school facility needs reflect themselves in continued use of portables and in new permanent building projects, particularly at the secondary school levels. Some districts are planning complete new schools to be built by the year 2019.

Individual district plans should be consulted for project level and district level details on these planned school expansion projects. The Edmonds, Northshore, Sultan, Monroe, and Snohomish School Districts are currently not collecting impact fees based on their projected needs but do maintain capital facility plans and may elect to collect impact fees in the future if changes in those student growth projections require additional capacity expanding projects in the future. The Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls, Stanwood-Camano Island, and Index School Districts do not collect impact fees and are not currently a part of Snohomish County’s impact fee program.

School districts typically discuss existing deficiencies in terms of the ability of the school district to "house" or accommodate students in permanent facilities at each grade level. Each individual school capital facility plan contains a section on existing deficiencies and describes (in their capital improvement programs) the specific future needs that fees will be used to address.

These school CFPs are approved by the county council and adopted as part of the county CFP, pursuant to chapter 30.66C SCC and associated GPP policies (Appendix F).

Section 2.3 - Public Wastewater Systems U
This section is included in your selections.
This subsection is included in your selections.

Wastewater collection and treatment within Snohomish County is a de-centralized public service provided by municipal agencies at a local scale. This is typical of most counties in Washington State. King County is a notable exception.

There are twenty-three agencies within Snohomish County that provide wastewater collection (sanitary sewer) facilities and service. Sixteen of those are cities, one is the Tulalip Tribes, and the remaining six are special service districts. Many of these agencies provide service to customers in unincorporated urban growth areas, either directly as the sewer system operator or indirectly through contracts for treatment. Most of the remaining agencies are cities that do not currently provide service to unincorporated customers but who must plan their systems to serve future development within their city’s UGA. These agencies are all important facility providers for future growth in the UGAs. These agencies are listed in Table 1, which also provides information about the treatment plants.

Fourteen of the 23 provider agencies provide wastewater treatment through the operation of their own plant. The other nine agencies contract for treatment services with nearby or "downstream" treatment plant operators. Another important provider of treatment for Snohomish County is the King County Wastewater Treatment Division. Its Brightwater plant which opened in 2012 receives wastewater flows from south Snohomish County, primarily from customers of the Alderwood and Cross Valley Water Districts and some from the city of Bothell. Snohomish County first prepared a technical support document in 1993-94 that accompanies and supports the GMA Comprehensive Plan entitled The Countywide Utility Inventory Report for Snohomish County. It describes the major public utility systems in the county, including the wastewater systems. That report draws upon and summarizes the information available from the comprehensive sewer system plans and from surveys and discussions with staff of the agencies. That report has been substantially updated to reflect the many plans that have been prepared and adopted by the provider agencies over the past seven years. Copies of that inventory report can be obtained from Snohomish County Planning and Development Services. Detailed information about projected future needs for a particular system can be obtained from the comprehensive system plan for each provider agency, a copy of which is retained in the Planning Library, or directly from the provider agency.

Performance standards in providers’ comprehensive wastewater system plans that are approved by the Department of Ecology constitute minimum level of service standards for wastewater systems. These standards may vary from provider to provider, but have a common grounding in the applicable state statutes and regulations, notably Chapter 90.48 RCW (Water Pollution Control) and WAC 173-240-030 through-104. The state has review and approval authority over wastewater system plans and projects. The state Department of Ecology has published a comprehensive manual for wastewater system design called "Criteria for Sewage Works Design" since 1978 (also known as the "Orange Book" - most recently updated in 2008). This manual embodies standards for water quality and service reliability and has become the de facto level of service standard for public domestic wastewater systems in the state of Washington.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Public wastewater collection and treatment systems are an essential component of urban public infrastructure and, within Snohomish County, are a defining feature of urban development. Sanitary sewer, with rare exception, is required for urban development and prohibited with rural development (Chapter 30.91S/U SCC). Therefore, it falls clearly within the category of public facilities that are "necessary to support (urban) development."

The special districts and cities that provide wastewater collection and treatment service for unincorporated Snohomish County periodically update their comprehensive system plans to meet the requirements of state law including forecasting for future wastewater needs in their service areas. Agencies which operate their own sewage treatment plants are required to begin planning for treatment plant expansion when the plant reaches 80% of its design capacity, or its rated capacity under its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The wastewater system comprehensive plan would also need updating. The district’s other system components should be built in conformance with the adopted comprehensive sewer plan, so the plan should be kept up-to-date when an agency’s service area or customer base is growing.

A special district should secure the approval of the county’s engineer and legislative authority per Washington law before its system plan will be considered finally approved for purposes of state permitting and funding. Several districts serving unincorporated Snohomish County have submitted comprehensive sewer plan updates for county approval since 2005 when the county adopted its first major update of its GMA Comprehensive Plan. Those plans have been reviewed for consistency with the county’s GMA Comprehensive Plan, with particular attention being given to the growth forecasts that the districts use to project future wastewater flows. The short term comprehensive sewer plans are also reviewed to ensure: 1) the district’s planning area boundaries are consistent with UGA boundaries; 2) a wastewater district has adequately planned for future service in urban areas it serves; and 3) the plan includes at least a six-year financing plan.

Wastewater system plans from wastewater districts that are submitted after 2015 will be evaluated based on the county’s adopted 2015 comprehensive plan approved by the county council. Municipal wastewater system plans will also be evaluated based on consistency with the county’s adopted 2015 comprehensive plan/CFP; however, the county council does not approve municipal wastewater plans. Adequacy of wastewater infrastructure presented in the individual plans (both district and municipal) is verified annually in the county’s statement of assessment in the Capital Improvement Program required by the GMA and SCC 6.10 of the county charter.

Recent system plans indicate that the county’s treatment facilities are generally keeping ahead of the increasing wastewater flows. The cities of Stanwood, Sultan, and Arlington are proposing adjustments to their urban growth areas (UGA) and corresponding adjustments to sewer service areas. Overall capacity for population and employment would not change for these UGAs, but each municipality should be addressing adequacy of wastewater infrastructure relative to these (potential) UGA adjustments in upcoming comprehensive wastewater plan updates.

The town of Gold Bar currently does not have a municipal wastewater system but has been studying the feasibility of a wastewater system in response to the population growth it is experiencing.

King County completed and opened a third regional treatment facility called Brightwater in 2012 in southern Snohomish County to address long-term growth needs. Demand for additional wastewater treatment capacity originated partially, in southern Snohomish County. Other treatment plants located within Snohomish County will also need capacity expansions or even replacement over the next several years. Existing state and local regulations will ensure that planning, design, and construction of necessary treatment capacity is completed before new development is allowed to connect to wastewater systems that are at or over treatment plant capacity.

Section 2.4 - Public Water Supply ( U)
This section is included in your selections.
This subsection is included in your selections.

Public water supply is another critical piece of urban infrastructure. Water purveyors must provide the water supply source, treatment, transmission, and storage facilities necessary to support the distribution system, while developers install most components of the water distribution system that directly serve their projects. Public water systems also exist in selected rural areas of the county, both to provide safe and reliable potable water supply where groundwater resources are inadequate and, in some cases, to provide fire flows for fire protection.

The water purveyors in Snohomish County are primarily cities and water districts which are both local governmental units with the power to raise revenues through taxes or user charges. Water associations are another (non-governmental) means for citizens to act collectively to operate and maintain a water supply system. Water associations are generally smaller systems that are not expecting to expand. A few medium-sized associations are also operating in Snohomish County. Sixteen of the county’s 20 cities provide public water supply service directly to their citizens, while the remaining four cities contract with water districts to provide the service. There are also ten water districts, and a large number of water associations and companies that service Snohomish County citizens. Most of the water companies and associations, however, only serve ten or fewer customers and are not included in the inventory report. Most of these smaller, private associations are accounted for in the North Snohomish County Coordinated Water System Plan (see Appendix C).

Public water supply is more centralized than wastewater collection and treatment in Snohomish County. The primary sources of Snohomish County water supply are the Spada and Chaplain Reservoirs in the Sultan River basin. A large reservoir created by the Culmback Dam provides water supply and electrical power for Snohomish County customers. The water supply system operated by the city of Everett includes a water filtration plant and a series of large transmission lines that supplies water to about 75% of the households in Snohomish County. The city "wholesales" the finished water to a number of other public water agencies that then distribute it to their customers.

The Countywide Utility Inventory Report for Snohomish County is a technical support document that presents inventory information and projected facility needs for the major water system operators in Snohomish County. This report concentrates on the water systems that serve at least 50 customers and have some prospect of growing in the future. A table summarizing inventory information is presented on the following pages. The information is based on a review of their most recent water system comprehensive plans to date. The Countywide Utility Inventory Report for Snohomish County is updated as revised comprehensive water system plans become available.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY – EXISTING INVENTORY SUMMARY

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY PURVEYOR

EXISTING INVENTORY INFORMATION

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE

City of Everett Public Works

Primary source of supply – Spada and Chaplain Reservoirs (Sultan Basin). Everett water works supply system originates at the Culmback Dam. Four major transmission pipelines connect this supply complex with the city’s distribution system, located approximately 17 miles to the west. Each line is approximately 50" in diameter. All four lines transport finished water from the filtration plant for domestic use. Everett’s existing potable water storage system (2014) consists of nine separate facilities with a total existing potable storage capacity of 53.2 MG (million gallons).

2014 Comprehensive Water Plan Addendum

Alderwood Water & Wastewater District (AWWD)

The AWWD purchases all of its water from the city of Everett. The AWWD water system is made up of more than 600 miles of pipeline ranging from 4 inches to 36 inches in diameter. A majority of the pipelines (more than 60%) are 8 inches in diameter or larger. The District also has four non-emergency interties with wholesale customers, the Mukilteo Water & Wastewater District, the cities of Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace plus twenty-six emergency interties. Interties are defined in WAC 246-290-010 as an interconnection between public water systems permitting the exchange or delivery of water between those systems. The AWWD water system also consists of nine storage facilities, one booster pump station and two water supply pump stations with a current supply capacity of 50MG/d plus an artesian well. AWWD also purchases water from Everett and sells it to the Clearview Water Supply Agency (CWSA). The CWSA is made up of AWWD, Silver Lake Water & Sewer District and Cross Valley Water District. CWSA operates one pump station capable of approximately 48 MGD, a transmission main from Everett’s Pipeline 5 to the 12 MG Clearview Reservoir and the reservoir.

2017 Water Comprehensive Plan (update in process)

City of Edmonds

Water is supplied from the Alderwood Water and Wastewater District and the city of Seattle. Water treatment and source facilities are maintained and operated by these purveyors. More than 90 miles of pipeline distribute water to customers representing close to 100% of system-wide total water demand.

1999 Comprehensive Water Plan (update not required)

This subsection is included in your selections.

Performance standards in providers’ comprehensive water system plans that are approved by the Department of Health (DOH) constitute minimum level of service standards for public water systems. These standards may vary from provider to provider, but have a common grounding in the applicable state statutes and regulations, notably WAC 246-290-100, DOH water system planning requirements. DOH has review and approval authority over comprehensive water system plans.

Purveyors of the following categories of community public water systems shall submit a water system plan for review and approval by DOH:

(a)Systems having one thousand or more services;

(b)Systems required to develop water system plans under the Public Water System Coordination Act of 1977 (chapter 70.116 RCW);

(c)Any system experiencing problems related to planning, operation, and/or management as determined by the department;

(d)All new systems;

(e)Any expanding water system; and

(f)Any system proposing to use the document submittal exception process in WAC 246-290-125.

(3) The water purveyor shall work with the department to establish the level of detail for a water system plan.

These requirements embody standards for water service reliability and by adherence define a level of service standard for public domestic water systems in the state of Washington.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Public water supply systems must accompany urban residential development in order to meet the county’s GMA code requirements for at least 4 units per net acre density within UGAs. They are also the most effective means for delivering potable water in dense urban areas. Fire protection demands within urban areas also necessitate public water systems to deliver adequate fire flows for urban areas of development. Public water supply systems are not considered "necessary to support development" in the rural areas although they are the preferred means for delivering potable water in those areas where they are available.

The special districts and cities that provide public water supply service for unincorporated Snohomish County periodically update their comprehensive systems plans to meet the requirements of state law. Water supply system components should be built in conformance with the water purveyor’s adopted comprehensive plan, which in turn, should be consistent with the county’s comprehensive land use plan and population growth forecasts.

A special district must secure the approval of the county’s engineer and legislative authority under Washington law, before its system plan will be considered finally approved for purposes of state permitting and funding. Several districts serving unincorporated Snohomish County have submitted comprehensive water supply plan updates for county approval since 2005 when the county adopted its first major update of its GMA Comprehensive Plan. Those plans have been reviewed for consistency (given signed consistency statements) with the county’s GMA Comprehensive Plan, with particular attention being given to the growth forecasts that the districts use to project future water demand. Water system plans from water districts that are submitted after 2015 will be evaluated based on the county’s adopted 2015 comprehensive plan/CFP and taken through a county council approval process. Municipal water system plans will also be evaluated based on the county’s adopted 2015 comprehensive plan/CFP via consistency statements but are not required to be approved through a county council legislative process. Adequacy of water supply infrastructure presented in the individual water system plans (both district and municipal) is evaluated/verified annually in the county’s statement of assessment in the CIP.

The Countywide Utility Inventory Report for Snohomish County is a technical support document that describes the major public utility systems in the county, including water supply systems. That report draws upon and summarizes the information available from the comprehensive water system plans that the agencies had adopted at that time, as well as from periodic surveys of the agencies conducted by county planners over the past several years. That report was substantially updated in 2004 and 2010 to reflect the many plans that have been prepared and adopted by the provider agencies over the past 20 years. Detailed information about projected future needs for a particular system can be obtained from the comprehensive system plan, a copy of which is retained in the Planning Library, or directly from the provider agency.

Section 2.5 - Fire Protection Services U
This section is included in your selections.
This subsection is included in your selections.

Snohomish County’s Fire Marshal’s Office (FMO) provides safe, livable environments through inspections, investigations, and education. The FMO provides fire inspection and fire investigation services to unincorporated areas of the county and to other jurisdictions on a contract basis. Snohomish County does not directly provide any fire suppression services. Those services are instead provided by individual fire districts.

There are a total of twenty three fire districts within Snohomish County. Fire protection and emergency medical services are provided by regional fire districts and municipal fire departments within those districts. All fire service providers within Snohomish County supply basic emergency medical service (EMS) and fire suppression services. Many of them provide some level of fire investigation, inspections, and public education. Other services provided by some jurisdictions include emergency rescue and hazardous materials response.

Inter-Agency Coordination: Most of the fire departments and fire districts have signed mutual aid agreements with each other or the FMO through interlocal agreements. These agreements allow service providers to receive additional help on large or multiple incidents, or where specialized expertise or equipment is needed. The departments and districts also plan and conduct disaster drills and develop training programs in the event of county-wide inter-agency responses.

This subsection is included in your selections.

The twenty-three fire districts were surveyed to develop a general county-wide base of fire service infrastructure. Fifteen districts responded to the survey. The map in Appendix B – p A17 summarizes the capital facilities available in each fire district for direct fire protection services.

This subsection is included in your selections.

Identifying a level of service standard for fire protection is difficult as services vary based on the resources of the district or jurisdiction providing the services.

Snohomish County has designated fire service infrastructure as necessary to support urban development. A minimum level of service has been established for fire service in urban areas only. Adequate water system fire flow must be provided regardless of which fire district or municipality provides fire suppression service to an urban area. Fire flow and sprinkler requirements are established in the building and fire codes adopted by the county therefore, the minimum LOS is technically provided and maintained by water purveyors but by default monitored by fire districts and/or municipalities. The minimum fire service LOS is the provision of sufficient fire flow in order to provide protection commensurate with planned intensities of future development adopted in the comprehensive plan. Fire flow standards shall be established by county development regulations. (GPP-Goal CF 11)

This subsection is included in your selections.

Most of the 23 fire districts do not prepare long range plans, but may use their annual budgeting process to anticipate and plan for any future needed capital improvements. Construction of new fire district stations is often funded by bonds approved by district residents. Snohomish County surveyed all twenty three fire districts in 2013 about what infrastructure needs they anticipated or planned to address in the next six years. The following table summarizes the forecasts of future needs of the fifteen respondents.
