- Abstract:
- Those portions of streams and rivers constituting "Shorelines of
the State" as defined by the Shoreline Management Act, RCW 90.58 and
listed in WAC 173-18. Please read the definitions of "Shorelines",
"Shorelines of state-wide significance", and "Shorelines of the
state" in 90.58.030. Points show the location on a stream where it
comes under shoreline jurisdiction or crosses county or state
boundaries.
- Purpose:
- Show points where steams in Washington State begin to fall under
the Shoreline Management Act or cross a county or state boundary.
- Supplemental_Information:
- Washington's Shoreline Management Act (SMA) was passed by the
Legislature in 1971 and adopted by the public in a 1972 referendum.
The goal of the SMA is "to prevent the inherent harm in an
uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state's shorelines."
The Act establishes a broad policy giving preference to uses that::
* protect the quality of water and the natural environment, * depend
on proximity to the shoreline ("water-dependent uses"), and *
preserve and enhance public access or increase recreational
opportunities for the public along shorelines.
The Shoreline Act establishes a balance of authority between local
and state government. Cities and counties are the primary regulators
but the state has authority to review local programs and permit
decisions. The State's authority is housed in the Department of
Ecology.
Under the Act each city and county adopts a shoreline master program
that is based on state guidelines but tailored to the specific
geographic, economic and environmental needs of the community.
Master programs provide policies and regulations addressing
shoreline use and protection as well as a permit system for
administering the program.
Ecology's role is to provide technical assistance to local
government and to assure that local government actions are
consistent with the local programs and the overall policy of the
Act.
The Act strongly supports public involvement in shoreline decision
making. Citizens participate on advisory boards preparing local
master programs, and public comment is required for individual
permits.
The Shorelines Hearings Board is a quasi-judicial body made up of
six members representing citizen interests. Any aggrieved party may
appeal a shoreline permit decision to the Shorelines Hearings Board.
Decisions regarding approval of shoreline programs may be appealed
to the appropriate regional Growth Hearings Board (if the
jurisdiction is planning under the Growth Management Act), or the
Shorelines Hearings Board (if the jurisdiction is not planning under
the Growth Management Act).
The Shoreline Act applies to:
* all marine waters; * streams with a mean annual flow greater than
20 cubic feet per second; * lakes 20 acres or larger; * Upland areas
called "shorelands" 200 feet landward from the edge of these
water's;
and the following areas when they are associated with one of the
above:
* biological wetlands and river deltas; and * some or all of the
100-year floodplain including all wetlands within the entire
floodplain. * The Shoreline Act also states that "the interests of
all the people shall be paramount in the management of shorelines of
statewide significance." These shorelines are defined in the Act as:
* Pacific Coast, Hood Canal and certain Puget Sound shorelines; *
all waters of Puget Sound and the Straight of Juan de Fuca; * lakes
or reservoirs with a surface acreage of 1,000 acres or more; *
larger rivers (1,000 cubic feet per second or greater for rivers in
Western Washington, 200 cubic feet per second and greater east of
the Cascade crest); and * wetlands associated with all the above.

- Process_Description:
- Descriptions of the location of the Shoreline Management Act
points of jurisdiction were read from WAC 173-18. Using ArcView
and associated Ecology GIS coverages, primarily HYDROFW and USGS
1:24000 quad images, the Shoreline Management Act points of
jurisdiction were identified on-screen and inputed using
heads-up digitizing. Where data gaps exist in the 1:100000
HYDROFW coverage, arcs were appended using 1::24000 WRIA WTRCRS
data.
