Description:The Grays Harbor Estuary Management Plan (plan) is a longrange, coordinated, comprehensive plan designed to guide future land and water use activities in Grays Harbor. It will be implemented through individual local Shoreline Master Programs under the Washington State Shoreline Management Act, other ordinances, and through various State and Federal regulations and permit actions. Grays Harbor estuary has been previously designated in the State Coastal Zone Management Program as an "area of particular concern" requiring special management attention. The focus of the plan is to define areas in which future activities and growth would be deemed acceptable while minimizing adverse impacts. Developed by an intergovernmental agency task force, the plan seeks to provide a balance between future development activities and the productive capacity of the estuarine system; minimize conflicts between resource users and regulators by enhancing the predictability of government permit decisions associated with the location of the future developments by taking agency requirements into account ahead of time; allow resource agencies to address cumulative effects of incremental permit proposals; and to provide appropriate mitigation or reduction of adverse development impacts.
