EXIIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK Goals A)The purpose of this Agreement is for the COOPERATOR to complete an investigation for evidence of violations of RCW 79.100.1 10.The COOPERATOR will use traditional,technical, and non-traditional investigative techniques to determine if evidence exists that can be provided to DNR and the Washington State Attorney General's Office for potential prosecution. In conjunction with DNR and the Washington State Attorney General's Office,the COOPERATOR will use legal tools to reduce or stop the illegal disposal of boats from marinas located within the COOPERATOR's jurisdiction. If derelict vessels are found in other jurisdictions,the COOPERATOR will provide the agency responsible for the vessel removal with any information that the COOOPERATOR has related to the origin of that vessel.This information will allow that agency to determine if the boat came from a private marinas and solicit assistance in the recovery of the boat and/or potentially recoup any associated removal costs. B)The COOPERATOR will perform tasks designed to increase the enforcement of vessel registration requirements through proactive patrols and community outreach. Using enforcement contacts,the COOPERATOR will increase the rate of currently registered boats in the area and proactively identify/track potential derelict vessels currently moored. The COOPERATOR will also use long established partnerships through the marine community and their social media assets to provide a public information campaign to encourage boat registration and the vessel turn in program. Based off experience,the COOPERATOR has found that boats that are current on their registration requirements are not usually the boats that are being abandoned and becoming derelict.A registered boater is more likely to be responsible for that boat. C) To respond quickly to any derelict boat in our waters,the COOPERATOR will partner with DNR to remove any derelict vessels located within the COOPERATOR's jurisdiction legally and safely before they become a hazard to the environment or boat traffic.The additional funding provided by this grant will provide some financial assistance to support the removal of derelict vessels over the next year. Operational plans Enforcement patrols. Uniformed employees of the COOPERATOR will patrol Everett waterways with a focus on registration violations. During the patrols,there will be an emphasis on enforcement for any registration violations.After 30 days from the issuance of any expired registration infraction,officers will conduct a review to determine if the boat owner obtained a current registration. If the vessel registration is still expired,officers will attempt to locate the boat during their next emphasis patrol and may follow-up with another infraction. Direct contact with the registered owner will be attempted for any boat with an expired registration of over a year or that has obvious signs of abandonment.
