Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. [help] The overall project consists of three project elements: 1. Saltwater lagoon restoration 2. Shoreline and stream restoration 3. Culvert Installation Saltwater Lagoon Restoration This project element will restore tidal connectivity to a remnant pocket estuary saltwater lagoon. The proposed work will remove and dispose of an existing 400-foot-long concrete bulkhead located to the east of the lagoon. Once the concrete bulkhead is removed and disposed of offsite, the excavated sand and gravel material will be redistributed back into the void left by the displacement. The previous slot in the bulkhead that allowed periodic connection to the lagoon will be closed and filled. The beach profile along the area where the existing concrete bulkhead is to be removed will be topographically matched to the adjacent natural contours. Other excavation activities include removal and disposal of fill in the area of the historic tidal connection and in the existing lagoon. These actions will both increase the depth and expand the footprint of the existing lagoon. The depth of the lagoon will be increased by two feet. The excavated sand and gravel material will be hauled off site. No filling is proposed for this project element. Some finishing grading will occur to smooth out the edges of the lagoon expansion. The site area is open and requires no clearing. There may be some erosion of disturbed sand and gravel during project activities and through recreational walking access to the beach, but this disturbance will have temporary impacts. Best Management Practices as outlined in the applicable adopted Mason County stormwater manual will be employed to control erosion. Pickleweed and native marsh grass will be salvaged and replanted along the fringe of the new lagoon. The project area is approximately 1.8 acres. Shoreline and Stream Restoration The shoreline component of this project element removes an existing riprap armor bulkhead and replaces it with a naturalized shoreline consisting of large woody debris, bioengineering, and a deformable gravel berm. This berm is intended to dissipate over a period of years due the actions of tide, waves, wind, and even foot traffic (beach nourishment had previously been considered for the shoreline, but was withdrawn as an alternative due to concerns expressed by interested parties). A buffer of native vegetation will be planted along the upland side of a coir wrap slope, including western red cedar, Douglas-fir, spruce, and alder. Three shoreline access ways (each with an ADA concrete pad and gravel ramp)will be installed. Farther upland from the shoreline, a concrete interpretive pad (330 square feet) and associated concrete walkway will be installed. ORIA-16-011 Page 5 of 17 The stream restoration component of this project element will restore the streambanks with native vegetation and add large woody debris features to the stream channel. The large woody debris installations extend into the alluvial fan intertidal zone. An existing footbridge (160 square feet) will be replaced with a new foot bridge (200 square feet). Armoring along the left bank (southern shoreline) of Twanoh Creek will be retained. Culvert Installation This project element involves the removal of an existing vehicular bridge (320 square feet) and an existing foot bridge (70 square feet) and installation of a new culvert that will accommodate both vehicular and foot traffic for the access road crossing of Twanoh Creek leading to the Twanoh State Park campground. The streambanks will be bioengineered and replanted with appropriate native vegetation. Streambed gravel and boulder mix will be added to the stream channel. Best Management Practices will be used to minimize impacts to the creek. In order to remove and replace the crossing structure and to accommodate realignment of the channel, an existing wood fence and some nearby vegetation, including five trees, will need to be removed. Fish will be removed and excluded from the work area and the stream will temporarily be rerouted around the work area using a bypass. The project area is approximately .25 acres. Best Management Practices will be used to minimize impacts during construction. Seven trees will be removed. For the stream restoration component of this project element, fish will be removed and excluded from the work area and the stream will temporarily be rerouted around the work area using a bypass. The project area is approximately 2.5 acres. Best Management Practices will be used to minimize impacts to the creek. In order to remove and replace the crossing structure and to accommodate realignment of the channel, an existing wood fence and some nearby vegetation, including five trees, will need to be removed. Fish will be removed and excluded from the work area and the stream will temporarily be rerouted around the work area using a bypass. The project area is approximately .25 acres. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [help] The purpose of the overall project is to restore and enhance ecological function and fish habitat along the park shoreline, a remnant saltwater lagoon, and Twanoh Creek. Saltwater Lagoon Restoration The new tidal connection channel and lagoon are intended to restore fish ingress and egress and natural ecological functions to the site. Restoring the tidal connection to the north of the lagoon is critical for this project, as this was the location of the historic connection and is likely the only natural alignment that can maintain itself given the convergent west-to-east and east-to-west drift cells at the site. Lagoon expansion will increase the volume of water that enters and leaves the lagoon with each tidal cycle. This is important for maintaining the channel that will connect the lagoon to Hood Canal. Salmonids and other fishes seasonally use the lagoon. Lagoon restoration will benefit juvenile Chinook salmon as well as ESA-listed Hood Canal summer run (HCSR) chum. Wild Fish Conservancy sampled the lagoon extensively in early 2016 and consistently observed HCSR chum (Jan-Apr). The restoration will also benefit forage fish such as surf smelt and Pacific herring. Shoreline and Stream Restoration The intent of this is to restore natural shoreline functions and vegetation as well as providing spawning gravels for surf smelt. The lower stream and estuary component of this project element will provide habitat and rearing and spawning areas for salmonids. Replacement of the footbridge will accommodate future influxes of sediment and allow for streambank restoration. Culvert Installation The culvert replacement is intended to improve fish passage and naturalize the alignment of the creek to ORIA-16-011 Page 6 of 17 improve natural sediment transport through the reach (to Highway 106). 6c.

Install erosion control silt fence (refer to Sheet 4 of plan set) outside of (seaward from) the existing concrete bulkhead along the eastern edge of the project site; 3. Dewater the saltwater lagoon using screened pumps. Direct pump flow to outfall on beach. Aquatic organisms may need to be removed while slowly pumping down the water levels of the lagoon; 4. Excavate and remove the existing 400-foot long concrete bulkhead along the eastern edge of the project site. Grade the removal area to match the existing natural face of the beach located to the ORIA-16-011 Page 7 of 17 south. The concrete will be removed offsite to a recycling facility by the contractor. Trackhoes and dumptrucks will be mobilized; 5. Excavate new footprint of lagoon starting from the south end and working north. Breach the outlet connection during low tide. Grade slopes as work progresses from south to north. Excavated material will become the property of the contractor and hauled off site. Trackhoes and dump trucks will be used during construction; 6. Remove all construction equipment, temporary fences and cofferdams during demobilization. Restore any disturbed ground in staging area to pre-construction conditions. Shoreline and Stream Restoration 1. Close access to parking lot and work areas. Establish two temporary staging areas on both left and right banks near the mouth of Twanoh Creek on existing grass areas (see Sheet 4 of plan set); 2. Clear area adjacent to parking lot edge and between footprint of riprap shoreline bank armoring. Remove reach of riprap armoring as shown on the plans and haul off site; 3. Excavate trench segments to install interlocking LWD components. Backfill after each segment has been completed and proceed to the next adjacent segment (-450 feet total). Construction windows shall only occur when tide conditions allow. Install bioengineered coir wraps and deformable gravel berm after LWD installation has been completed; 4. Construct cofferdam (see Sheet 6) and set up gravity bypass system to divert flows around the work area through a flexible hose. Discharge flows back into the creek on the left bank near the estuary away work areas; 5. Mobilize trackhoe excavator, dumptrucks, and other associated equipment to stream channel and estuary as necessary to excavate footprints for LWD cluster placements. Stockpile excavated material to be re-used as backfill next to footprints. Install LWD into excavated footprints and backfill; 6. Remove existing footbridge and abutments and haul off site. Prepare footprint for new footbridge installation and install new bridge, abutments and approach areas. Install coir wrap bioengineering along streambanks. Excavated material not used for backfilling will become the property of the contractor and hauled off site; 7. Remove all construction equipment including temporary fences and cofferdams during demobilization. Restore any disturbed ground to pre-construction condition; 8. Plant streambanks with native vegetation during dormant season. Culvert Installation 1. Establish a 1,875 square foot temporary staging area in the northeastern corner of the parking lot nearly adjacent to the west side of Highway 106. Clear an area for temporary spoils storage adjacent to the entry parking lot. Entry gate access will be from each end of the existing park road; 2. Install erosion control silt fence on the perimeter of the channel work area (refer to Sheets 3-5 of plan set); 3. Remove designated trees; 4. Construct cofferdam (see Sheet 3) and set up pump system with backup to divert flows around the work area through a flexible hose. Discharge flows back into the creek below Highway 106; 5. Remove existing wood road bridge including H-piles and also existing footbridge and masonry abutments located just downstream. Haul construction debris off site. 6. Excavate footprint to prepare for a new stream realignment and installation of a four-sided box culvert with wingwalls; ORIA-16-011 Page 8 of 17 7. Prepare pea gravel or crushed rock base and install new culvert with wingwalls. Backfill around new culvert. Install coir wrap bioengineering along streambanks and place new streambed gravel into channel. Excavated material not used for backfilling will become the property of the contractor and hauled off site; 8. Slowly release flows back into stream channel to establish surface flows; 9. Repair road surfaces and road cuts at new stream crossing approaches; 10. Remove all construction equipment including temporary fences and cofferdams during demobilization.

Project construction would only occur consistent with agency timing restrictions. All work will be done in the dry. The project's over-water footprint is not expanding; there will be no new in-water structures other than placed logs associated with the proposed project. The project avoids unnecessary noise, as well as compaction and disturbance to the beach substrate, by using no larger equipment than needed. Parks or its contractor will maintain and implement spill prevention, containment, and control procedures, and is responsible for containment and removal of any toxicants released. Itemized procedures will describe the measures and protocols prescribed to prevent or reduce impacts from potential accidental spills (fuel, hydraulic fluid, etc.). Included will be a description of all hazardous materials that will be used, including an inventory, proper storage and handling, and monitoring methods. Vehicle cleaning, maintenance, refueling, and fuel storage would take place only at an upland staging area. All construction equipment would be inspected daily for fluid leaks before leaving the vehicle staging area. Any leaks detected would be repaired in the vehicle staging area before the vehicle resumes operations. A spill clean-up kit will be on hand at all times. Biodegradable lubricants and hydraulic fluid will be used exclusively in heavy equipment including a front end loader and excavator track hoe whenever they enter the intertidal area, below the upland vegetation line. 8b.

The saltwater lagoon restoration consists of restoring tidal connectivity to a remnant pocket estuary. The shoreline and stream restoration consists of removing an existing riprap armor bulkhead and naturalizing the shoreline. The culvert replacement consists of replacing an undersized, fish barrier culvert to a vehicular bridge that will accommodate both vehicular and foot traffic across Twanoh Creek. Location of Proposal: Twanoh State Park is located at 12190 E. State Route 106, Union, WA 98592 in Mason County. The specific project location is the southeast quarter of Section 19 and the southwest quarter of Section 20, Township 22 N, Range 02 W, W.M. Threshold Determination: The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (Lead Agency) has reviewed the SEPA checklist submitted September 27, 2021 and determined that this proposal will not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. The Lead Agency considered the following information to identify the appropriate Threshold Determination: State Parks' Classification and Land Management Plans (CAMP) land classification matrix, agency policy, GIS data for sensitive and listed species, and Tribal and stakeholder comment. The nature of the restoration, as described in the checklist, will not result in any lasting impacts to waterways, native habitat, or species. Best management practices (BMPs) have been incorporated into the design to provide protection from incidental or unanticipated impacts such as sediment run-off. State Parks will comply with additional conditions required by local, state, or federal agencies necessary to avoid, minimize, or mitigate for any potential significant adverse impacts to plants, animals, cultural, and historic resources. These conditions are in addition to the following modifications to the site design State Parks implemented to ensure that no adverse impacts would result from the proposal: B.5. Animals No work shall occur below the OHWM that will result in substantial modification or disruption to the grade of the nearshore slope or impact shellfish beds. Pursuant to WAC 197-11-350(3),the proposal has been clarified, changed, and conditioned to include necessary mitigation measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate for probable significant impacts.An environmental impact statement(EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review by the Lead Agency of a completed Environmental Checklist. These documents are available at: http://bit.ly/ParksSEPA.
