Description: These data represent point locations where DNR aquatic lands use authorizations are in application phase. Application data do not have related footprints because they are only published in GIS after they are signed agreements.

Description: DNR leases aquatic lands for a wide range of uses. The Encumbrance 2011 Project is an ongoing effort to develop and maintain an up-to-date GIS dataset of use authorization areas. The polygon footprints of these encumbrances are presented here. These footprints represent the true shape and area of the encumbrance with an estimated accuracy of +/- 50 ft.

Description: The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages 2.6 million acres of state-owned aquatic lands (SOAL). Management is in conformance with constitutional and statutory requirements (RCW 79.105.030). SOAL are managed to provide a balance of public benefits for all citizens of the state. These include: (1) Encouraging direct public use and access; (2) Fostering water-dependent uses; (3) Ensuring environmental protection; (4) Utilizing renewable resources. Generating revenue consistent with the law is a public benefit. DNR authorizes specific uses, authorization agreements, contracts, and leases by the public, private industry, and other governmental entities on SOAL. The ENC11 INTERIM POINTS layer is a representation of applications for use of SOAL, active use-authorization agreements, and historic/inactive agreements. It includes agreement information such as type, geographic location, business partner (leasee) name, time period, and local management. The ENC11 INTERIM POINTS layer is a work-in-progress; it is in development.

Description: These data represent areas where port districts have been given the legal authority to manage aquatic lands owned by the state. These aquatic properties, abut uplands that are owned, leased, or managed by the port. The details of this management responsibility are set forth in a Port Management Agreement (PMA), signed by the port and the Department of Natural Resources.

Description: State owned aquatic land parcels set aside by order of the Commissioner of Public Lands from sale or lease. The lands withdrawn from sale or lease may be used for a specific function or use, such as, fronting a state park, used for shooting grounds (hunting of waterfowl), or for preservation of habitat.
Description: These data represent dredge material disposal sites within Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and coastal embayments of the Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay sites managed by the Dredged Material Management Program (DMMP). The Dredged Material Management Program (DMMP) represents a coordinated multi-agency approach to management of dredged materials in the state of Washington. The cooperating agencies include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Seattle District, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - Region 10, Washington Department of Ecology and Department of Natural Resources.

Description: These data represent disposal target areas for dredge material disposal on nondispersive sites. These are the areas that barges dispose of spoils in to assure that the dredged material is released within the disposal zone
Description: These data represent the area to receive dredged spoils.Target areas within the disposal zone are for barge disposal of spoils. In dispersive sites, the disposal zone and the target area are the same.
Description: These data represent Dredge Material Disposal Site Boundaries and contain the disposal zone and target areas for dredge spoils on dispersive and nondispersive sites.
Description: This layer contains geoduck TRACTS which are areas where geoduck aggregations have been observed between -18 ft MLLW and -70 ft MLLW, and are of interest for commercial harvest. This layer does not represent a comprehensive distribution of geoduck populations in Washington State. These geoduck tract polygons have updates as recently as 2016, including updating 97 tracts (of "commercial" status in 2005) from a nearshore biomass project from July of 2005. Tract boundary updates may be done yearly for those tracts surveyed each field season or those that underwent Washington Department of Health (DOH) classification revisions. Many geoduck tract polygons in this layer are older polygons "hand-fitted" with a digitizer and are intended to represent the general tract vicinity. Some tract polygons are fitted to NOAA water depth contours, with estimated "side" boundaries. Some tracts which have been biologically surveyed since 1994 have contour lines plotted by DNR or WDFW using GPS and fathometer equipment. Tract boundaries generally fall between the -18' MLLW and -70' MLLW contours, but tracts surveyed pre-1990 were only surveyed to the -60' MLLW contour. Some tract areas have restricted nearshore contours which range between -18' and -35' (MLLW) due to the presence of eelgrass beds and/or herring spawning habitat. Please request a current description of a tract from WDFW if interested in the exact descriptions and current restrictions. Boundaries are updated during the winter when WDFW summarizes surveys and receives survey information from tribal geoduck managers, and classification revsions from DOH. DOH should be consulted for current geoduck tract health classifications, openings and closures. An X-bed marks a location where geoducks have been reported, but the boundaries are not accurate as those tracts have never been surveyed.
