WAC 173-514-040. Surface water source limitations to further consumptive appropriation

(1) The department, having determined further consumptive appropriation for all uses would harmfully impact instream values, closes the following streams including tributaries for the period indicated: (a) Stream Name Tributary to Closure Period Alderbrook Creek Hood Canal May 1 - October 31 Campbell Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 Elson Creek Skookum Inlet May 1 - October 31 Fawn Lake Outlet Skookum Inlet May 1 - October 31 Jones Creek Pickering Passage May 1 - October 31 Jarrell Creek Jarrell Cove May 1 - October 31 Little Creek Skookum Creek May 1 - October 31 Melaney Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 Shelton Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 Twahnoh Creek Hood Canal May 1 - October 31 Uncle John Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 (a) Stream Name Tributary to Closure Period Alderbrook Creek Hood Canal May 1 - October 31 Campbell Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 Elson Creek Skookum Inlet May 1 - October 31 Fawn Lake Outlet Skookum Inlet May 1 - October 31 Jones Creek Pickering Passage May 1 - October 31 Jarrell Creek Jarrell Cove May 1 - October 31 Little Creek Skookum Creek May 1 - October 31 Melaney Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 Shelton Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 Twahnoh Creek Hood Canal May 1 - October 31 Uncle John Creek Oakland Bay May 1 - October 31 The minimum flow during the closure period on the streams listed above is the natural flow. Because insufficient flow data is available to develop instream flows outside the closure period, minimum flows for any water right application for consumptive use will be considered on a case by case basis in consultation with the departments of fisheries and game (RCW 75.20.050 ). (b) Stream Name Closure Period Kennedy Creek May 1 - November 15 Cranberry Creek September 16 - November 15 Deer Creek September 16 - November 15 Johns Creek September 16 - November 15 Sherwood Creek September 16 - November 15 Perry Creek May 1 - October 31 (b) Stream Name Closure Period Kennedy Creek May 1 - November 15 Cranberry Creek September 16 - November 15 Deer Creek September 16 - November 15 Johns Creek September 16 - November 15 Sherwood Creek September 16 - November 15 Perry Creek May 1 - October 31 Because sufficient hydrologic data is available for the above streams, a minimum flow is established during the closed and nonclosed period in WAC 173-514-030 (2). (2) Except as noted in the footnotes, the following existing surface water source limitations, previously established administratively under the authority of chapter 90.03 RCW and RCW 75.20.050 are hereby confirmed and adopted for the period indicated: Stream*/Tributary to Action Period Goldsborough Creek - Oakland Bay Closure+ May 1 - October 31 Gosnell Creek - Isabella Lake Low flow (10 cfs) All year Jarrell Creek - Jarrell Cove Low flow@ (.30 cfs) May 1 - October 31 Johns Creek - Oakland Bay Low flow@ (4 cfs) Sept. 16 - November 15 Kennedy Creek - Totten Inlet Low flow@ (3 cfs) May 1 - November 15 Schneider Creek - Totten Inlet Closure# May 1 - October 31 Skookum Creek - Skookum Inlet Closure+ May 1 - October 31 Summit Lake - Kennedy Creek Lake level All year Unnamed Stream - Mill Creek Sec.34, T.20N R.3 EWM Low flow (2 cfs) All year Stream*/Tributary to Action Period Goldsborough Creek - Oakland Bay Closure+ May 1 - October 31 Gosnell Creek - Isabella Lake Low flow (10 cfs) All year Jarrell Creek - Jarrell Cove Low flow@ (.30 cfs) May 1 - October 31 Johns Creek - Oakland Bay Low flow@ (4 cfs) Sept. 16 - November 15 Kennedy Creek - Totten Inlet Low flow@ (3 cfs) May 1 - November 15 Schneider Creek - Totten Inlet Closure# May 1 - October 31 Skookum Creek - Skookum Inlet Closure+ May 1 - October 31 Summit Lake - Kennedy Creek Lake level All year Unnamed Stream - Mill Creek Sec.34, T.20N R.3 EWM Low flow (2 cfs) All year *Closures and low flow limitations also apply to tributaries of these streams. @Superseded by a new action in this section. #The minimum flow during the closure period is the natural flow. +Minimum flows are specified in WAC 173-514-030 (2). *Closures and low flow limitations also apply to tributaries of these streams. @Superseded by a new action in this section. #The minimum flow during the closure period is the natural flow. +Minimum flows are specified in WAC 173-514-030 (2).
