The amendment to WCC 16.30 is regarding the Lake Whatcom Stormwater Utility Capital Facilities Charge. The amendment will be introduced at the Finance Committee on September 29, 2020, with a public hearing scheduled October 13, 2020. To ensure Council has ample time to revisit the intent and reasoning for the capital facilities charge proposal, staff would like to have an opportunity during the Water Works Session to discuss the amendment in more detail prior to introduction. Background On July 23, 2019, the Whatcom County Council authorized a charge for the furnishing of service to those who are receiving or will receive benefits from stormwater control facilities or programs who are contributing to an increase in surface water runoff in the Lake Whatcom stormwater utility service area. (Ordinance 2019-053). Council directed staff to complete the Capital Facilities Charge section by January 1, 2021. Please contact Kraig Olason at extension 6301, or Cathy Craver at extension 6299, if you have any questions or concerns regarding the amendment. 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 EXHIBIT A CHAPTER 16.30 LAKE WHATCOM STORMWATER UTILITY SERVICE AREA 16.30.050 Definitions For the purposes of this Chapter, the words or phrases below shall have the following meanings: (1) "County" means Whatcom County, or as indicated by the context, may mean the Department of Public Works, Public Works Director, County Engineer, or other employee or agent representing the County in the discharge of his or her duties.

Recent erosion along the Nooksack River has removed a section of riprap that previously protected the land adjacent to the Abbott Levee and Abbott Road. Phase1 of this project will address the ongoing erosion in this location. The FCZD is also investigating possible road and levee setback options to improve the upstream tie-in of the levee and address a deficiency identified by the US Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the levee's eligibility in the PL 84-99 Levee Rehabilitation Program. This work will be implemented as a second phase of the project. Project Status: The project is currently in the preliminary engineering design phase. The FZCD has contracted with an engineering consultant to design measures to help arrest the ongoing erosion with construction planned for summer of 2021. The reach assessment will also provide the technical basis for developing alternatives for upstream improvements as Phase 2.

One of the pipes drains a channel that flows through the City of Lynden's wastewater treatment plant. The levee has overtopped where the culverts are located, damaging the levee backslope and the small berm that separates the drainage channel from a water treatment settling pond. The conceptual design developed as part of the System -wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) planning process includes relocating the treatment plant drainage channel through a forested area further away from the pond, connecting the two drainages, and replacing the two culverts with a single larger fish -passable culvert with a side -hinge flood gate. Project Status: This project is being implemented collaboratively by the FCZD and the USACE. The culvert replacement and levee improvement are being designed by the USACE as part of a levee rehabilitation project. The County is currently at a 60% design level for the reconfigured drainage channel behind the levee. Construction for both portions of this job is expected in 2021. Total project cost includes USACE construction direct contribution.

Baker Highway (SR 542). During high-water events of the 2017/2018 winter, the North Fork Nooksack River eroded the unprotected bank of Truck Road to within 13 feet of the roadway surface. This prompted an emergency project to construct a passive riprap revetment underneath a section of the roadway to provide immediate protection. Flooding during 2020 eroded the remaining bank exposing the recently constructed riprap revetment and destabilizing a portion of the north bound lane. Jersey barriers were placed by county crews to block off this lane to traffic. The FCZD is evaluating road realignment and bank stabilization alternatives to provide a long-term solution in this area. Project Status: An analysis of road realignment and bank stabilization alternatives is planned for 2021. Preliminary design of the preferred alternatives will be initiated once the preferred alternative is selected. Construction of the road setback is anticipated to occur in 2023. The FCZD is seeking FEMA funds to partially fund the project. Project cost listed is for design only.

The left bank levee has a 250 foot long section where erosion is threatening the levee prism. The right bank levee face is sloughing at three locations with a total length of approximately 250 feet. The levees will have to be repaired to remain eligible for rehabilitation through the Public Law (PL) 84-99 program.

The US Army Corps of Engineers has identified several deficiencies along these two levee segments, including a gap in which super sacks filled with sand have been placed. The 1999 Comprehensive Flood Hazard Management Plan recommended improving these levees to provide 100-year protection to the City and the treatment facilities. The System -wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) also includes this project to address the identified levee deficiencies. Project Status: This project is currently in the design phase. Alternative analysis is being conducted by an engineering consultant. A 60 percent design level plan of the proposed levee configuration is anticipated Fall of 2022. Grant funding has been secured to complete this design. Construction of the project is anticipated in 2025 or 2026.

Since construction, the levee has been subject to ongoing damage. Constriction of the Glacier -Gallup channel migration zone (CMZ) has exacerbated aggradation upstream of SR 542 and severely degraded fish habitat. WSDOT replaced the Gallup Creek bridge and is working to construct a new bridge over Glacier Creek and the alluvial fan between the two creeks. The FCZD is developing a project in coordination with WSDOT and is evaluating the feasibility of full or partial removal of levees blocking natural channel migration on the Glacier and Gallup Creeks alluvial fan and construction of a setback levee on Gallup Creek to protect the Community of Glacier. Project Status: A feasibility study and alternatives analysis for evaluating levee removal and setback alternatives was initiated in late 2018. Preliminary design of the preferred alternative will be initiated once the preferred alternative is selected. Construction of the levee removal and setback is anticipated to occur concurrently with the Glacier Creek bridge replacement in 2026.

The goal of this work is to reduce flood risk and expenditures and restore habitat and the processes that form it. Voluntary acquisition of lands is proposed to enable future levee reconfigurations to reduce flood risk and future levee repairs, while improving habitat. Project Status: Acquisition of one property in Reach 4 was completed in 2020. Discussions with additional property owners will occur in 2021 and 2022.
