Interested persons are welcome to
submit suggestions or comments on the
scope or content of the proposed EIS by
attending any of the above meetings or
provide written comments to the
designated official below. Written
comments will be accepted until
February 25, 2005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
WCZMP was the first in the nation to
receive federal approval under the
CZMA in 1976. The basis for the
WCZMP participation in the federal
coastal zone management program was
the implementation of the Washington
Shoreline Management Act of 1971
(SMA). The SMA set in motion the
designation of shorelines of statewide
significance, policy objectives and
guidelines with respect to managing
shoreline uses, a process for local
governments to develop Shoreline
Master Programs (SMPs) that would
meet the objectives of the Act, and a
management process to include the
Shorelines Hearing Board that would
serve as an administrative appeals body.
From 1976 to the present, the WCZMP
has received federal CZMA funds to
supplement their state funds to
implement the WCZMP.
In 1995, the Washington State
Legislature directed the Department of
Ecology (Ecology) to periodically review
and adopt guidelines consistent with
SMA policies and to integrate shorelines
with the provisions of the Growth
Management Act critical areas
ordinances. Ecology has spent the better
part of 6 years developing revised
guidance for updating SMPs. The new
guidelines recognize advancements in
science regarding shoreline ecological
processes, changes in laws, changes in
the character of shoreline development
and innovations in shorelines and
growth management practices. More
information can be found on the
Washington Department of Ecology Web
Site at: https://www.ecy.wa.gov/
programs/sea/SMA/.
OCRM has been requested by the
State of Washington to incorporate the
revised SMP Guidelines Rule into the
federally approved WCZMP. OCRM has
determined that this is a major federal
action and will therefore develop an
environmental impact statement to
identify what environmental
consequences may be associated with
this proposed action. The State of WA
adopted the revised SMP Guidelines
Rule in December 2003. OCRM’s

amendment to its already approved

intensity, fishery dependent and fishery
independent monitoring results and life
history characteristics. Workshop
participants will draft preliminary
Assessment Report sections.
Participants include data collectors,
database managers, stock assessment
scientists, biologists, fisheries
researchers, fishermen,
environmentalists, Council members,
