AB2022 -425 Ordinance temporarily amending Whatcom County Code Section 11.20.025, flotation devices on the South fork of the Nooksack River, to better protect ESA -listed Chinook salmon Dana Brown -Davis, Clerk of the Council, answered if there needs to be two separate public hearings for this and the next item since one is a version of the Ordinance that is interim and one is a version of the Ordinance that is permanent. The following people presented: • RoseNlary LaClair, Nooksack Chairwoman • Ned Currence, Nooksack Tribe • GI James, Lummi Nation Council They answered what is considered an encounter, whether they do any counts on the number of salmon at the mouth of the river and at different intervals up the river so they can see how far the fish are making it on average, whether there is any data at all then that shows how far up fish are making it and what percentage, what the primary concern is with floaters on the river, and whether this Resolution would fix the problem. Treva Coe, Nooksack Tribe Natural & Cultural Resources Department, spoke about concerns about recreation on the river and the trampling of reds. James and Currence answered when reds hatch in the South Fork, whether 2,500 fish died during or before the flood in November of 2021, whether there was an increase of salmon while a lot of tubing was still occurring, whether an Ordinance in 2005 (AB2005-173A or Ord 2005-089) only closed tubing up to Acme bridge, whether it is more the condition and temperature of the river than tubers that affect the salmon, and whether there are some other solutions that could be looked at to lower the temperature of the water or maybe make some deeper pools. John Thompson, Public Works Department, spoke about the reason for the closure area in the 2005 Ordinance. LaClair spoke about whether there is something they could do to lower the Whtucom County Page 3 Printed on 911912022 Council Minutes - Final August 9, 2022 temperature of the river rather than banning tubing. Elenbaas spoke about what other factors might be involved in the decline of salmon, what we need to do to get back to the harvest levels of 1985, and working together to determine what measures are effective.

Galloway moved and Donovan seconded that the Ordinance Requiring a Public Hearing be ADOPTED. Whatcom County Page 4 Printed on 911912022 Council Minutes - Final August 9, 2022 Councilmembers spoke about the Ordinance and the motion, keeping recreation opportunities for people and also doing everything they can to protect salmon, whether they should put up educational signage in key areas, whether education is better than a ban, a concern that there is no way to really enforce a ban, and getting more information on what netting the river entails.
