Appendix B
YAKIMA COUNTY SHORELINE LAKES AND PONDS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGNATIONS
This list is based on information from “Lakes of Washington Volume II Eastern Washington,” 1973 (Water Supply Bulletin No. 14, Washington Department of Ecology). It is possible that some lakes could have been missed through the inventory process. If lakes are found in wilderness areas or the Yakama Nation Closed Area, they shall receive a natural shoreline environmental designation. If lakes are found in areas with a majority of public ownership they shall receive a conservancy shoreline environmental designation. All other lakes shall receive a rural shoreline environmental designation. If new lakes are created that meet the shoreline designation criteria in RCW 90.58.030(2)(c), they shall receive a rural designation. Note that Yakima County and the local municipalities have no jurisdiction within the Yakama Nation Closed Area, and very little jurisdiction within federal ownership. Shoreline environments are listed in the designation column, except that those parts of any lake and its shoreline jurisdiction lying within a stream floodway/CMZ stream shoreline environment shall also be designated floodway/CMZ. Lakes identified with a “#” are partially or completely within the floodway/CMZ stream shoreline environmental designation.
