Local Government with Jurisdiction Conducting Review: Lewis County Water District#3
Before the Department of Health (DOH) approves a planning or engineering submittal under Section 100
or Section 110, the local government must review the documentation the municipal water supplier
provides to prove the submittal is consistent with local comprehensive plans, land use plans and
development regulations (WAC 246-290-108). Submittals under Section 105 require a local consistency
determination if the municipal water supplier requests a water right place-of-use expansion. The review
must address the elements identified below as they relate to water service.
By signing this form, the local government reviewer confirms the document under review is consistent
with applicable local plans and regulations. If the local government reviewer identifies an inconsistency,
he or she should include the citation from the applicable comprehensive plan or development regulation
and explain how to resolve the inconsistency, or confirm that the inconsistency is not applicable by
marking N/A. See more instructions on reverse.

Consistency Review Guidance
For Use by Local Governments and Municipal Water Suppliers
This checklist may be used to meet the requirements of WAC 246-290-108. When using an alternative
format, it must describe all of the elements; la), b), c), d), and e), when they apply.
For water system plans (WSP), a consistency review is required for the service area and any
additional areas where a municipal water supplier wants to expand its water right's place of use.
For small water system management programs, a consistency review is only required for areas
where a municipal water supplier wants to expand its water right's place-of-use. If no water right
place-of-use expansion is requested, a consistency review is not required.
For engineering documents, a consistency review is required for areas where a municipal water
supplier wants to expand its water right's place-of-use (water system plan amendment is required).
For noncommunity water systems, a consistency review is required when requesting a place-of-use
expansion. All engineering documents must be submitted with a service area map (WAC 246-290-
110(4)(b)(ii)).
A) Documenting Consistency: The planning or engineering document must include the following
when applicable.
a) A copy of the adopted land use/zoning map corresponding to the service area. The uses
provided in the WSP should be consistent with the adopted land use/zoning map. Include any
other portions of comprehensive plans or development regulations that relate to water supply
planning.
b) A copy of the growth projections that correspond to the service area. If the local population
growth projections are not used, explain in detail why the chosen projections more accurately
describe the expected growth rate. Explain how it is consistent with the adopted land use.
c) Include water service area policies and show that they are consistent with the utility service
extension ordinances within the city or town boundaries. This applies to cities and towns only.
d) All service area policies for how new water service will be provided to new customers.
e) Other relevant elements the Department of Health determines are related to water supply
planning. See Local Government Consistency—Other Relevant Elements, Policy B.07,
September 2009.
B) Documenting an Inconsistency: Please document the inconsistency, include the citation from the
comprehensive plan or development regulation, and explain how to resolve the inconsistency.
C) Documenting a Lack of Local Review for Consistency: Where the local government with jurisdiction
did not provide a consistency review, document efforts made and the amount of time provided to the
local government for review. Please include: name of contact, date, and efforts made (letters, phone calls,
and emails). To self-certify, please contact the DOH Planner.
