A. SWM shall enter into a separate Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with PCCD establishing a cooperative process to identify designated projects which revegetate, revitalize or maintain Pierce County streams. The cooperative process to identify designated projects shall include consideration of the following factors: whether a stream assessment has been conducted; whether the reach of stream is in extremely poor condition; whether the project could feasibly be implemented by "Stream Team" program efforts; whether there is neighborhood or community interest; whether the project is consistent with the Pierce County Storm Drainage and Surface Water Management Plan; whether the project requires structural or nonstructural improvements; whether SWM, PPW and PCCD funding and staffing are available; and upon the number and the complexity of the permits required.

B. The MOA shall delineate obligations and responsibilities between SWM and PCCD. SWM responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to, the provision of technical and administrative assistance to PCCD on designated project permit applications as funding and staffing permit. Technical and administrative assistance may include, but is not limited to: instruction on what permits and forms may be necessary; review of forms submitted by PCCD for compliance with County, state, and federal requirements; and liaison support between Planning and Public Works and PCCD. PCCD responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to, preparation of all applications including provision of all supplemental information, compliance with all conditions of permit approval, supervision and coordination of all day to day Stream Team efforts and maintenance of insurance coverage acceptable to Pierce County's Finance Department.

C. PCCD permit applications for Stream Team designated projects shall be exempt from Planning and Public Works filing fees under Chapter 2.05 PCC upon properly filing a permit application with the Pierce County Planning and Public Works Department. SWM shall provide PPW with current listing of all designated projects for verification purposes.
