COUNTY EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS Sample Clauses

COUNTY EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS. A Shorelines Exemption can be issued by Skagit or Snohomish County for emergency construction necessary to protect property from damage by the elements. An "emergency" is an unanticipated and imminent threat to public health, safety, or the environment which requires immediate action within a time too short to allow full compliance with permitting processes. Emergency construction does not include development of new permanent protective structures where none previously existed. Where new protective structures are deemed by the county’s shoreline administrator to be the appropriate means to address the emergency situation, upon abatement of the emergency situation the new structure shall be removed or any permit which would have been required, absent an emergency, shall be obtained. All emergency construction shall be consistent with the policies of chapter 90.58 RCW and the local master program. As a general matter, flooding or other seasonal events that can be anticipated and may occur but that are not imminent are not an emergency.
