RE: Application for geoduck aquaculture on Totten Inlet, Mason County
iRil!.!yy4 i��Ot �k"fJ :+�acr.Yer.ss`
Project Name: Bodin Intertidal Shellfish Farm to
Parcel No. Tidelands of 22031-50-00037
Upland Address: 461 SE Totten Shores DR, Shelton.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilson:
After review of your submitted Joint Aquatic Permit Application (JARPA) for the
above referenced parcel, Mason County concludes that the proposed geoduck
operation, on marine tidelands in Totten Inlet, does not constitute development
under the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and does not cause substantial
interference with the normal public use of the water (AGO 2007 No. 1). Therefore,
a Substantial Development Permit is not required nor a letter of Shoreline
Exemption.
Mason County has determined that the proposed geoduck farm is consistent with
the Mason County Shoreline Master Program Policies and Use Regulations for
Aquaculture and the Shoreline Management Act. Please let me know if you have
any questions. Thank you.
Sincerely,
4

Infaunal invertebrates identified within the representative beach substrates during the June 2011 survey
(Pacific Shellfish Institute) included nematode and polychaete species, amphipods (Corophium),
mollusks Eus ira lewisii echinoderms Dendraster excentricus and crustaceans Cancer racilis . All
are common in clean sandy substrates absent any hard habitat structure. Notably, few of the three large
native burrowing clams [Penitella penita (piddocks), Tresus capax (horse clams), or Panopea abrupta
(geoduck)] were in evidence.
5m. Describe how the property is currently used. hei
The project location is in Totten Inlet, South Puget Sound, on private tideland owned by the upland owner.
There is an upland vacation residence on the property. The tidelands are second-class tidelands extending to
extreme low water. We are unaware of any records showing previous farming activity on the site; there are no
indications on the tidelands of previous farming.
The predominant uses of Totten Inlet are residential, recreation, and shellfish aquaculture. The project area is
used infrequently for recreational purposes such as beach walking. The surface waters over the project area are
used seasonally for boating and fishing.
5n. Describe how the adjacent properties are currently used. nei
The adjacent tidelands on either side of the project area are privately owned. The upland to the west of the
location is undeveloped; the upland to the east of the location has a private vacation residence. There is no
developed public marine access point from uplands within two shoreline miles of the site.
Totten Inlet is an active shellfish aquaculture inlet, including cultivation of manila clams, geoduck clams, oysters,
and mussels. The adjacent tideland to the west of the proposed project area (Parcel No. 22031-50-00035) is an
active shellfish farm (NWS-2015-121); the adjacent tideland to the east of the proposed project area (Parcel No.
22031-50-00038) is not being farmed.
Nearby tideland parcels are certified.as approved for shellfish cultivation by the Washington Department of
Health.
5o. Describe the structures (above and below ground) on the property, including their purpose(s) and current
. condition. hei
There are no structures within the project area.
5p. Provide driving directions from the closest highway to the project location, and attach a map. i,ei
See attached directions.
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 5 of 18
6e. Describe how you plan to construct each project element checked in 6d. Include specific construction
methods and equipment to be used. hel
• Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody.
• Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain.
A. Project Goal
The goal of the proposed project is to cultivate geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta)for commercial harvest and
sale on privately owned intertidal ground. The length of a single cycle from initial planting to final harvest may
be as short as six years or long as nine years, followed by repeated growing and harvest cycles as allowed by
permits and lease.
B. Farm Location &Size
The proposed farm site is located in Totten Inlet, South Puget Sound, Mason County, WA on intertidal land. All
farming activities will occur on privately owned tideland within an area defined by +3.0 ft. tidal elevation and the
line of extreme low water, approximately-4.5 ft. tidal elevation, and within surveyed property boundaries. The
proposed project area (leased area) is 0.45 acre; the proposed farm site is 0.25 acre. The adjacent tidelands to
the east and west are privately owned, and the bedlands waterward of the parcel are owned by the State of
Washington.
C. Farming Techniques—Species, Farm Size, Equipment, and Methods
Species Geoduck clams. (Seed (i.e.juvenile geoduck for out-planting) is obtained from South Puget
Cultivated: Sound brood stock.)
Cultivation Area: 0.25 acres, between tidal elevations+3.0 ft. &-4.5 ft., as depicted in attached Plan View drawing.
Materials& • 4 in. diameter by 10 in. long PVC tubes.
Equipment: • Individual mesh caps over individual tubes, secured with UV&saltwater resistant rubber band.
• 40 ft. by 40 ft squares of polydacron or nylon area netting that is 3 in. or smaller stretched
mesh.
• 24 in. long hairpin shaped rebar to secure area netting.
• Typically, one 30 ft. motor vessel and one 30 ft. barge.
• Hand held water probes (5/8 in. diameter) equipped with on/off nozzle used for harvest(water
delivered via diesel powered, low pressure, high volume,water pump mounted on a vessel
moored offshore).
Methods:
General: • All work activities are by manual labor.
• All access to the farm site is by boat, i.e., workers, equipment, &materials arrive/leave by boat.
• Materials and equipment are not stored at the site.
• Vessels used for transportation to the site are moored offshore, or brought to the beach and
grounded through the tide (maximum of about 4 hours), as needed.
• Fueling, loading, off-loading, and storage of vessels& materials/equipment occur at an upland
staging area near Arcadia Point's headquarters, not at the site.
• No motorized machinery operates on the beach.
• No seed grow-out activities occur at the site.
Site Prep: Potential relocation of large wood, rocks, &sand dollars, as needed, to other parts of lease area.
Sand dollars relocated by hand using divers to collect and redistribute the animals to suitable
habitat. No rooted aquatic vegetation to be removed. No fill or grading to occur. No chemical
controls to be used.
Planting: See Timeline (below)for approximate schedule. Tubes are pushed into the substrate at a density
not to exceed one tube per square foot. An individual mesh cap is placed over the end of the
tube and secured with an individual rubber band. As needed, planted tubes may be covered by
area netting as a containment measure or for predator discouragement. Area nets are pinned to
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 7 of 18
lighting on the beach will be provided by individual LED headlamps; standard navigational lights (Coast Guard
approved) will be used on vessels. Tubes used for planting will be off-white or gray in color and within weeks of
being planted will become heavily fouled with marine organisms such as barnacles, mussels, tunicates, and
algae. They will appear dark in color at that time and blend with the beach. The mesh caps are of neutral color
and also will blend well with the beach. Between mid-March and mid-September, the farm will be visible during
daylight hours only when tides are below +3.0 ft. tidal elevation. 4 From mid-September through mid-March only
the upper-most portion of the farm will be visible during daylight hours as the lowest tides occur at night.
Periodic site Inspections will be made down-drift of the proposed farm site for a distance of at least 1,000 feet,
with special attention following severe wind or wave conditions.
Employees are trained regarding local, state, and federal conditions for operation of commercial shellfish farms.
Pre-plant surveys have shown this beach has no native eelgrass (Zostera marina) or rooted kelp (floating and
non-floating canopied species) that would need to be avoided during farming activities. (See Part 51, B.)
The on-line tools for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (the Priority Habitats and Species
database and the Forage Fish Spawning Map, accessed June 2017) identify the area as surf smelt spawning
area, but not spawning area for sand lance or Pacific herring. No farming activities occur in, or adjacent to, the
upper intertidal area typically used by surf smelt/sand lance for spawning. If these forage fish were found at the
proposed farm site, they may spawn concurrent with farming activities. However, sand lance spawning (not
identified for this area) typically occurs at higher tidal elevations (above +5.0 ft. tidal elevation) than where farm
activities take place. 5 Similarly, surf smelt (identified for this area)typically spawn at even higher elevations
(above +7.0 ft. tidal elevation). South Puget Sound herring stocks, also not identified as present in the project
area, typically spawn on rocky, gravelly substrate in the absence of marine vegetation and would not likely utilize
the fine grain sand of the proposed farm site. Additionally, while herring spawn can be deposited within the tidal
range of the proposed farm, the majority of the spawning activity is thought to occur in subtidal waters. 6 For
these reasons, it will not be necessary to restrict farming activities to the forage fish work windows set by the
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
6f. What are the anticipated start and end dates for project construction? (Monthnrear) hel
• If the project will be constructed in phases or stages,use JARPA Attachment D to list the start and end dates of each phase or
stage.
Start date: Spring/summer 2018 or after receipt of all permits End date: on-going farming
❑ See JARPA Attachment D
6g. Fair market value of the project, including materials, labor, machine rentals, etc. k
Not applicable. (This is on-going farming not a one-time construction project.)
6h. Will any portion of the project receive federal funding? k
• If yes, list each agency providing funds.
❑ Yes 0 No ❑ Don't know
4 During the height of the summer(June—August), some portion of tubes(although not necessarily the entire farm)is likely to be visible
approximately 20 percent or less of daylight hours.
5 Because we access the farm site from the water and no cultivation activities occur above a+5.0 ft tidal elevation,we have no reason to
be in the area where surf smelt or sand lance may spawn.
6 The nearest herring spawn area is approximately 1.3 miles from the project area, across Totten Inlet near Gallagher Cove(WDFW
Forage Fish Spawning Map). Regardless,we will conduct visual inspections of the farm site prior to farming activities to determine if
herring stocks have used the beach for spawning. If spawn is found,the farm will be left until eggs have hatched.

Lelpi
❑ Not applicable
Farming activities are restricted to the minimum amount of disturbance necessary to operate the farm; no
farming activities occur in the upper intertidal area, i.e., above +5.0 ft tidal elevation. All work activities are
manual labor, all access is by boat (not over uplands), no motorized machinery operates on the beach, no
refueling occurs near the beach, no equipment is stored at the site, no rooted aquatic vegetation is removed
from the site, no fill or grading occurs at the site, no chemical controls are used. The maximum time that a
vessel (containing equipment) might be grounded on the beach is about four hours during a tide, after which
time it is removed.
The farm site is situated well below, and not adjacent to, the spawning elevations of sand lance and surf smelt
(i.e., +5.0 and +7.0 ft tidal elevations, respectively), and there is no native eelgrass or other rooted vegetation
necessary to attract herring spawn. The area is not documented for herring; however, on the chance they may
spawn on culture gear, we will conduct visual inspections of the farm site prior to farming activities to determine
if herring stocks have used the beach for spawning. If spawn is found, the farm will be left until eggs have
hatched.
Harvest activities will disturb the substrate for short, intermittent periods to a depth of 36". No earth moving per
se will occur, although some sediment transport/turbidity will result temporarily. Harvest will be managed to
ensure 401 water quality certification standards are met. Studies indicate that impacts are minimal and of short
duration. The beach will quickly return to its original condition. The intake port for the harvest pump is located
in the hull of the vessel and is screened for exclusion of marine organisms and suspended detritus.
The proposed project is typical of geoduck farm activities and locations included in the 2015 Programmatic
Biological Assessment(PBA) of the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the subsequent reviews/biological
opinions conducted by National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Services). ' All
farm activities that we are proposing (e.g., species, equipment, methods, location, etc.), and their impacts on the
aquatic environment, were evaluated by the ACOE and the Services and thus their documents serve as the
reference biological evaluation for this project. 8 Current, or as subsequently revised, NWP 48 conditions
(national, regional, and Seattle District) applicable to this farm activity will be followed--these conditions are, in
part, the result of the Services' reviews and therefore are intended to protect ESA-listed species, critical habitat,
and essential fish habitat. A copy of the most recent set of NWP 48 ACOE-Seattle District specific conditions
(aka conservation measures) is attached. s

8 Prior to implementation of the PBA, new farm proposals to the ACOE under NWP 48 required individual consultation with the Services;
preparation of a biological evaluation by the applicant formed the basis of this consultation. Implementation of the PBA streamlined this
process. As long as an applicant's proposed shellfish activities meet the following three criteria,the PBA functions as the applicant's
biological evaluation: (1)the proposed activities fall within the scope of activities described in the PBA(which ours do), (2)the applicant
can&will meet the PBA's conservation measures(which we can&will),and(3)the proposed site occurs within the geographic area
considered by the PBA(which ours does).
9 NWP 48 is the ACOE's nationwide permit for"Commercial Shellfish Aquaculture Activities". Commercial shellfish farms in Washington
cannot legally operate without a permit from the ACOE--the most common form of that permit is NWP 48. The 2017 NWP 48(effective
March 19,2017)includes 32 national general conditions(some relevant to shellfish aquaculture), 13 regional general conditions
applicable in the Seattle District(some relevant to shellfish aquaculture), 1 regional condition specific to NWP 48,and most recently,a
revised list of 32 Seattle District NWP 48 specific conditions/conservation measures(this last list is attached).

spawning area for sand lance or Pacific herring.
Surf smelt may spawn from +7.0 ft to MHHW, with eggs dispersed along the beach from high intertidal to lower
levels. All proposed planting will occur below+3.0 ft tidal elevation and would be unlikely to interfere with
spawning success of surf smelt populations.

'The proposed action area(per 50 CFR§402.02 Definitions)is all area(not just the immediate project area)where listed
Endangered Species Act(ESA)species and designated critical habitat may be affected directly and indirectly by the
proposed action. For this project,the proposed action area extends waterward from the project area's landward
boundary(i.e.,ordinary high water)and in a radius of 150 feet from the project area's outer boundaries(i.e.,side and
waterward property boundaries of the tideland). Potential impacts of turbidity/sediment suspension,underwater sound,
and boat transport of workers/materials were considered in establishing the 150 feet radius.
z Georgia Basin Rockfish adults and juveniles are not expected in the proposed action area;the larval stage drifts widely
and may potentially(but unlikely)be found in the proposed action area. Puget Sound/Georgia Basin DPS of Canary
rockfish and its designated critical habitat were delisted effective Mar 2017.
3Sightings of ESA-listed marine turtles in this region are rare and there are no breeding beaches in WA or OR.

Conservation Measures and applicable terms and conditions from the Programmatic
Biological Opinions for Shellfish Activities in Washington State Tnland Marine Waters
(U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Reference(USFWS)Number 01EWFW00-2016-F-0121,
National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS) Reference Number OIEWFW00-2016-F-0121).
1. Gravel and shell shall be washed prior to use for substrate enhancement(e.g., frosting,
shellfish bed restoration) and applied in minimal amounts using methods which result in less
than l inch depth on the substrate annually. Shell material shall be procured from clean sources
that do not deplete the exiting supply of shell bottom. Shells shall be cleaned or left on dry land
for a minimum of one month, or both, before placement in the marine environment. Shells from
the local area shall be used whenever possible. Shell or gravel material shall not be placed so that
it creates piles on the substrate. Use of a split-hull (e.g.,hopper-type)barge to place material is
prohibited.
2. The placement of gravel or shell directly' into the water column (i.e., graveling or frosting)
shall not be conducted between February 1 and March 15 in designated critical habitat for Hood
Canal summer chum salmon.
3. For `new ' activities only, gravel or shell material shall not be applied to enhance substrate
for shellfish activities where native eelgrass (Zostera marina)or kelp (rooted/attached brown
algae in the order Laminariales)is present.
4. Turbidity resulting from oyster dredge harvest shall be minimized by adjusting dredge bags to
"skim"the surface of the substrate during harvest.
5. Unsuitable material (e.g.,trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt,tires) shall not be discharged or
used as fill (e.g., used to secure nets, create nurseries, etc.).
6.For `new' activities only, shellfish activities (e.g., racks, stakes, tubes, nets, bags, long-lines,
on bottom cultivation)shall not occur within 16 horizontal feet of native eelgrass (Zpstera
marina)or kelp (rooted/attached brown algae in the order Larninariales). If eelgrass is present in
the vicinity of an area new to shellfish activities, the eelgrass shall be delineated'- and a map or
sketch prepared and submitted to the Corps. Surveys to determine presence and location of
eelgrass shall be done during times of peak above-ground biomass: June 1 —September 30. The
following information must be included to scale: parcel boundaries, eelgrass locations and on-
site dimensions,shellfish activity locations and dimensions.
7. For `new' activities only, activities shall not occur above the tidal elevation of+7 feet
(MLLW)if the area is listed as documented surf smelt(Hyponaesus pretiosus)spawning habitat
by WDFW. A map showing the location of documented surf smelt spawning habitat is available
at the WDFW website.
t 'New'activities are those activities that were initiated after 18 March 2007. Expansion of activities into a new
geographic footprint that had not previously been in commercial aquaculture is treated as a new footprint for the
purpose of this programmatic ESA.
'- For guidance see Corps'Seattle District Components of a Complete Eelgrass Delineation and Characterization
Report(fay 2016).

Bodin 7ARPA Attachments Page 12 of 17
8. For `new' activities only, activities shall not occur above the tidal elevation of+5 feet
(MLLW)if the area is documented as Pacific sand lance(Anunodytes hexapterus) spawning
habitat by the WDFW. A map showing the location of documented Pacific sand lance spawning
habitat is available at the WDFW website.
9. If conducting 1)mechanical dredge harvesting,2) raking, 3)harrowing,4)tilling, leveling or
other bed preparation activities, 5) frosting or applying gravel or shell on beds, or 6)removing
equipment or material(nets,tubes,bags) within a documented or potential spawning area for
Pacific herring(Clupea pallasi)outside the approved work window3,the work area shall be
surveyed for the presence of herring spawn prior to the activity occurring. Vegetation, substrate,
and materials (nets;tubes,etc.) shall be inspected. If herring spawn is present,these activities are
prohibited in the areas where spawning has occurred until such time as the eggs have hatched
and herring spawn is no longer present. A record shall be maintained of spawn surveys including
the date and time of surveys; the area,materials, and equipment surveyed;results of the survey,
etc. The Corps and.the Services shall be notified if spawn is detected during a survey. The record
of spawn surveys shall be made available upon request to the Corps and the Services.
10. For `new' activities only, activities occurring in or adjacent to potential spawning habitat for
sand lance, or surf smelt shall have a spawn survey completed in the work area by an approved
biologist' prior to undertaking bed preparation,maintenance, and harvest activities if work will
occur outside approved work windows for these species. If eggs are present,these activities are
prohibited in the areas where spawning has occurred until such time as the eggs have hatched
and spawn is no longer present. A record shall be maintained of spawn surveys including the
date and time of surveys; the area,materials, and equipment surveyed;results of the survey, etc.
The Corps and the Services shall be notified if spawn is detected during a survey_The record of
spawn surveys shall be made available upon request to the Corps and the Services.
11. All shellfish gear(e.g., socks,bags, racks,marker stakes,rebar,nets, and tubes)that is not
immediately needed or is not firmly secured to the substrate will be moved to a storage area
landward of MHHW prior to the next high tide. Gear that is firmly secured to the substrate may
remain on the tidelands for a consecutive period of time up to 7 days.Note: This is not meant to
apply to the wet storage of harvested shellfish.
12. All pump intakes (e,g.,for washing down gear)that use seawater shall be screened in
accordance with NMFS and WDFW criteria.Note: This does not apply to work boat motor
intakes (jet pumps)or through-hull intakes.
13. Land vehicles (e.g., all-terrain,trucks)shall be washed in an upland area such that wash
water is not allowed to enter any stream,waterbody, or wetland. Wash water shall be disposed of
upland in a location where all water is infiltrated into the ground(i.e., no flow into a waterbody
or wetland).

14. Land vehicles shall be stored,fueled, and maintained in a vehicle staging area located 150
feet or more from any stream, waterbody, or wetland. Where this is not possible, documentation
must be provided to the Corps as to why compliance is not possible, written approval from the
Corps must be obtained, and the operators shall have a spill prevention plan and maintain a
readily-available spill prevention and clean-up kit.
15. For boats and other gas-powered vehicles or power equipment that cannot be fueled in a
staging area 150 feet away from a waterbody or at a fuel dock, fuels shall be transferred in
Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)-compliant portable fuel containers 5 gallons or smaller
at a time during refilling. A polypropylene pad or other appropriate spill protection and a funnel
or spill-proof spout shall be used when refueling to prevent possible contamination of waters.A
spill kit shall be available and used in the event of a spill. All spills shall be reported to the
Washington Emergency Management Office at(800) 258-5990. All waste oil or other clean-up
materials contaminated with petroleum products will be properly disposed of off--site.
16. All vehicles operated within 150 feet of any stream, waterbody, or wetland shall be inspected
daily for fluid leaks before leaving the vehicle staging area. Any leaks detected shall be repaired
in the vehicle staging area before the vehicle resumes operation and the leak and repair
documented in a record that is available for review on request by the Corps and Services.
17. The direct or indirect contact of toxic compounds including creosote,wood preservatives,
paint, etc.within the marine environment shall be prevented. [This does not apply to boats]
18. All tubes, mesh bags and area nets shall be clearly, indelibly, and permanently marked to
identify the permittee name and contact information (e.g., telephone number,email address,
mailing address). On the nets,identification markers shall be placed with a minimum of one
identification marker for each 50 feet of net.
19. All equipment and gear including anti-predator nets, stakes,and tubes shall be tightly secured
to prevent them from breaking free.
20. All foam material (whether used for floatation of for any other purpose)must be
encapsulated within a shell that prevents breakup or loss of foam material into the water and is
not readily subject to damage by ultraviolet radiation or abrasion.Un-encapsulated foam material
used for current on-going activities shall be removed or replaced with the encapsulated type.
21. Tires shall not be used as part of above and below structures or where tires could potentially
come in contact with the water(e.g., floatation, fenders,hinges). Tires used for floatation
currently shall be replaced with inert or encapsulated materials, such as plastic or encased foam,
during maintenance or repair of the structure.
22. At least once every three months, beaches in the project vicinity will be patrolled by crews
who will retrieve debris(e.g., anti-predator nets,bags,stakes, disks,tubes) that escape from the
project area. Within the project vicinity,locations will be identified where debris tends to
accumulate due to wave, current, or wind action, and after weather events these locations shall be
patrolled by crews who will remove and dispose of shellfish related debris appropriately.A

record shall be:maintained ,vith the following informationi and the record will be made available
upon request to the Corps,NMFS, and USFWS: date of patrol, location of areas patrolled,
description of the type and amount of retrieved debris, other pertinent information.
23. When performing other activities on-site,the grower shall routinely inspect for and document
any fish or wildlife found entangled in nets or other shellfish equipment. In the event that fish.,
bird, or mammal is found entangled,the grower shall: 1)provide immediate notice(within 24
hours)to WDFW(all species), USFWS/NMFS (all species)or Marine Mammal Stranding
Network(marine mammals), 2) attempt to release the individual(s) without harm, and 3)provide
a written and photographic record of the event, including dates,species identification,number of
individuals, and final.disposition,to the Corps and Services. Contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service Law Enforcement Office at(425) 883-8122 with any questions about the preservation of
specimens.
25. Vehicles(e..g. ATVs,tractors) shall not be used within native eelgrass (Zostera marina . If
there is no other alternative for site access, a plan will be developed describing specific measures
and/or best management practices that will be undertaken to minimize negative effects to
eelgrass from vehicle operation. The access plan shall include the following components: (a)
frequency of access at each location, (b)use of only the minimum vehicles needed to conduct the
work and a description of the minimum number of vehicles needed at each visit, and(c)
consistency in anchoring/grounding in the same location and/or traveling on the same path to
restrict eelgrass disturbance to a very small footprint.
26. Vessels shall not ground or anchor in native eelgrass(Zostera inarina) or kelp
(rooted/attached brown algae in the order Laminariales)and paths through native eelgrass or
kelp shall not be established. If there is no other access to the site or the special condition cannot
be met due to human safety considerations, a site-specific plan shall be developed describing
specific measures and/or best management practices that will be undertaken to minimize
negative effects to eelgrass and kelp from vessel operation and accessing the shellfish areas.The
access plan shall include the following components: (a)frequency of access at each location, (b)
use of only the minimum number of boats and/or crew members needed to conduct the work and
a description of the minimum number of boats and cretivmembers needed at each visit, and(c)
consistency in disturbance to a very small footprint.
27. Unless prohibited by substrate or other specific site conditions,floats and rafts shall use
embedded anchors and midline floats to prevent dragging of anchors or lines. Floats and rafts
that are not in compliance with this standard shall be updated to meet this standard during
scheduled maintenance,repair, or replacement or before the end of the term of the next renewed
authorization. [Any alternative to using an embedded anchor must be approved by the NMFS J
28. Activities that are directly associated with shellfish activities (e.g., access roads, wet storage)
shall not result in removal of native riparian vegetation extending landward 150 feet horizontally
from MHHV4T(includes both wetland and upland vegetation) and disturbance shall be limited to
the minimum necessary to access or engage in shellfish activities.
4
Bodin JARPA Attachments Page 15 of 17
29.Native salt marsh vegetation shall not be removed and disturbance shall be limited to the I
minimum necessary to access or engage in shellfish activities.
30. Mechanical dredge harvest/harrowing shall not be conducted in North Puget Sound
between April 1 and August 31.
31. Ensure clam and other shellfish cover nets are secured to the extent practicable. If fish are
entangled,record and report species,time, and location of entanglement. Collected specimens of
fish entangled shall be preserved in a freezer, and reporting shall be to the NMFS' Lacey Office
in order to determine appropriate steps to ascertain the entangled species. Contact the NMFS
Central Puget Sound Branch Chief by telephone or email.
32. Only oyster long lines (with flip bags ok) spaced laterally at 10 feet intervals shall be used in
fallow' areas that have been colonized by eelgrass in greater Puget Sound and Hood Canal.
Flip bags must be suspended above the substrate so they do not rest on substrate at low tide.No
other culture methods shall be used in fallow areas colonized by eelgrass. Further, with the
exception of mechanical longline harvest, no mechanized activities shall occur in fallow areas
colonized by eelgrass. This Term and Condition does not apply to fallow areas in Willapa Bay or
Grays Harbor.
33. In Mood Canal summer-run chum salmon designated critical habitat: Between February 1
and April 30, shellfish planting and harvesting shall not occur within 15 feet waterward of the
waterline (tideline)to protect juvenile chum salmon. In addition, shellfish activities which
increase turbidity in the nearshore water(e.g., geoduck harvest) shall not occur at all during this
timefrarrie
I
Fallow refers to areas that are periodically allowed to lie fallow as part of normal operations.
5 Critical habitat for Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon occur in Hood Canal and the Strait of Juan de Fuca
marine areas in Clallam,Jefferson,Kitsap,and Mason Counties.Exact locations and excluded areas are described

Substrate and Vegetation Photos
The following photographs of the Bodin project area (tidelands of Parcel 22031-50-00037)were taken on June 11,
2017, approximately 1:30 PM at- 1.5 tidal elevation. All are taken from the water looking landward. Although
they do not show the entire farm site(down to extreme low), the photographs are representative of the entire area
and illustrate the substrate composition as well as the scarcity of rooted, submerged aquatic vegetation and the
absence of eelgrass within the proposed project area. Additional verification of the absence of eelgrass and kelp
in the project area can be seen in the Project Area Photo (Google Earth, 08.17.2016).

Regarding: Bodin Intertidal Shellfish Farm. Request for County, State, and Federal Review,
including 2017 NWP 48 Coverage. JARPA including maps, drawings, and photos
enclosed.
In reviewing the JARPA, it may help to know the following:
• We used Version 2012.1 of the JARPA rather than the current on-line version. The two versions are
virtually identical, however, the newer on-line version was less flexible in allowing us to enter some of
the information we wanted to convey.
• The project site is near farms in Totten Inlet for which we received ACOE NWP 48 permits in 2013-
2017. It abuts our ACOE permit#NWS-2015-121 farm (Wilson-LeRoy)—the two farms are identical in
site characteristics, species and farming approach although Bodin is about one-half the size.
• We have not included an individual biological evaluation (BE)with the JARPA. In its place, we are
using the ACOE's recently implemented 2015 Programmatic Biological Assessment(PBA)as the
reference BE. The rationale for this is explained in Part 8a of the JARPA.
• Given the use of the PBA as our proxy BE, we also reviewed requirements of the Mason County
Environmental Permit and the Habitat Management Plan and tried to make sure that the JARPA, in
conjunction with the PBA, addressed all relevant issues.
• We are happy to provide an electronic copy of the JARPA if that helps your review.
Please notify us at your earliest convenience if additional items are needed.
Sincerely,
