Per RCW 90.58.090 and WAC 173-26-120(7)(b)(i), the <br /> department's approval of the city's amendment submittal together with required changes <br /> will be effective as of the date the department receives written notice of your agreement to <br /> the required changes. <br /> I want to recognize the substantial effort that you and the citizens of Everett have put into <br /> updating the city's shoreline program in a manner consistent with current science and good <br /> shoreline management practice. Our review of the city's proposed amendments has found <br /> that they will provide greatly increased protection of shoreline ecological functions when <br /> compared to your current program. I believe the inventory process you used as the <br /> foundation for decision-making was exemplary. This strong foundation has enabled the city <br /> to tailor the new shoreline program to unique local circumstances and to apply a variety of <br /> techniques that will protect valuable shoreline resources while still accommodating future <br /> shoreline development. We look forward to supporting the city in the future as it <br /> implements this new shoreline management program. <br /> As a reminder, WAC 173-26-120(9)requires you to promptly publish a notice that the <br /> department has taken final action. Therefore, if the city agrees with the changes referred to <br /> above, it should publish notice after the department acknowledges receipt of such <br /> 0 <br />
