Purpose of checklist:
Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of
your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance,
minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if
an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe so a basic information about your proposal.
Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may
need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use
not applicable" or"does not apply" only when you caa explain why it does not apply and not when
the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports.
Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as
well as later in the decisionmaking process.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period
of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your
proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to
explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may
be significant adverse impact.
Instructions for Lead Agencies:
Please adjust the format of this template as needed. dditional information may be necessary to
evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated asplcts of the proposal and an analysis of adverse
impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information
needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the
lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting
documents.

1.0 Proposed Action
This Biological Evaluation has been submitted n behalf of the Gallimore Family Trust,
Pamela Gallimore-Wong and David Gallimore, TUstees, at the request of the Seattle
District United States Army Corps of Engineers to comply with Endangered Species Act
(ESA)regulations regarding shoreline developn ent. The proposed action will occur on
two of the applicant's three adjoining Lake Cus man lots. On Lot 23,the footing of the
existing concrete bulkhead will be replaced and a buoy installed. On Lot 24,the
applicants are proposing to replace an existing f ier and float with a pier,ramp, and two
float structures.An existing failed wood boat ra np will be removed from the site.
Additionally, a short section of rock and mortar ulkhead will be installed to fill the gap
in the existing bulkhead created by the removal f the boat ramp. Mitigation for the
proposed projects will consist of the removal o he wood boat ramp and the pier and
float, which will result in a reduction of 662.9 s of overwater coverage at the site.
Mitigation also includes a native planting plan, s it is unlikely that the existing pier,
float, and boat ramp were permitted
1.1Background
The proposed project site is located in Mason C unty at 301 North Potlatch Drive N,
Hoodsport Washington (Attachment 1), Divisio 12, Lots 23 and 24.The Mason County
tax parcel numbers are 42307-50-00023 &24. 1 he property is located in Section 07,
Township 23N, and Range 04W of the western neridian.The latitude is 47.49325 North,
and the longitude is -123.25047 West. The proj ct site is located on Lake Cushman in the
Skokomish/Dosewallips Water Resource Inven ry Area(WRIA 16)on a shoreline
designated Urban Residential by the Shoreline T laster Program of Mason County. Lake
Cushman is regulated under the Mason County 35horeline Master Program and the Mason
County Resource Ordinance as a Fish and Wild 'fe Habitat Conservation Area. The
Shoreline Management Act of 1971 designated ake Cushman as a Shoreline of
Statewide Significance.
The project site is located in a rural neighborho d on two shoreline lots with approx. 124
(one hundred&twenty-four) feet of frontage. e Gallimore Family Trust owns Lots 23,
24, and 25, and there is a single-family residen (SFR) on the latter.Existing shoreline
appurtenances on Lots 23 and 24 include a con ete bulkhead(57' in length and 7' 10" in
height), a rock and mortar bulkhead(64' in len h and 7' 6" in height, except beneath the
boat ramp where it is approx. 3.5' in height), a 1 Vood boat ramp (20' x 30'), a storage
shed(approx. 7' x 8'), a wood planked deck(5 sf), a wood pier(8' x 20'), and a float
(10' x 20').
1.2 Project Need and Objectives
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 3
The projects are needed for several reasons. The existing pier and float structure is
cumbersome and in poor condition;the applicants wish to replace it with a pier, ramp,
and two floats that will have a smaller, more efficient footprint. The existing wood boat
ramp has failed and is dangerous. The removal of the boat ramp will leave a gap in the
existing rock and mortar bulkhead that will need to be repaired. Erosion from wave
action has undercut the toe of the existing concrete bulkhead, which will require
reinforcement to prevent imminent failure.There is no existing buoy at the site, but a
buoy will enable the applicants to use their boat when the lake's waters are lowered.
The project objective is to upgrade/downsize and repair existing shoreline appurtenances,
while avoiding or minimizing impacts to ESA-listed species.
2.0 Project Description
On Lot 23,the toe of the existing concrete bulkhead will be repaired by pouring a
replacement concrete footing. As per the engineered design by P.E. Alan Tahja
(Attachments 2 & 3),the new footing will be approx. fifty-seven feet(57') in length,
three feet(3') in depth, and two feet(2') in width. The buoy will be installed approx.
ninety feet(90')waterward of the bulkhead, at a lake elevation of approx. 720 feet.
On Lot 24, a pier, ramp, and two floats will be installed to replace an existing pier, float,
and boat ramp. A short section of rock and mortar bulkhead will fill the gap in the
existing bulkhead created by the removal of the boat ramp.As per the engineered design
by P.E.Alan Tahja(Attachments 4-8),the proposed pier,ramp, and float structure will
total approx.two hundred and ninety-seven square feet (297.1 sf) and consist of a six by
twenty foot(6' x 20') stationary pier, an approx.three-and-a-half by fourteen-and-a-half
foot(3.6' x 14.5') float, an approx. four-and-a-half by twenty-one foot(4.6' x 21')float,
and a two by ten foot(2' x 10') aluminum ramp. The square footage of the replacement
pier, ramp, and float structure totals precisely 297.1 sf,which is 662.9 sf feet less than the
existing waterward development that will be removed. The replacement pier and floats
will extend approximately 30' waterward of the existing rock and mortar bulkhead's face.
The pier will utilize six(6)pressure treated lumber pier posts (6' x 6");the floats will
utilize a total of five(5), eight inch(8") galvanized steel pilings. The posts and piles will
be augured in by hand and filled with fiber reinforced Portland cement concrete. Because
the pilings will not be driven,the holes will be filled with concrete to assure stability.
The pier and float frames and decking will be constructed of pressure treated lumber and
a composite material.All pressure treated wood will have undergone one or more BMP's
to minimize leaching of contaminants into the water(see BMPs). To protect against
erosion, fasteners or other hardware will be made of galvanized and/or stainless steel.
The floatation will be constructed of encapsulated polyethylene drums. The floats will be
equipped with a mechanism that prevents them from resting on the lake's bottom during
low water periods.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 4
As per the engineered design by P.E. Alan Tahj (Attachments 2-6),the bulkhead
replacement section will be constructed of rock ind mortar, same as the existing
bulkhead. The new section of bulkhead will be I wenty feet(20') in length, four feet(4')
in height, and one foot(V) in width. It will occi py a footprint of 20 sf and be constructed
on top of the existing bulkhead in a gap current occupied by the boat ramp. The
bulkhead will be backfilled with gravel and fini hed with paving stones to match the
adjacent walking paths.
All materials, equipment, debris, and workers 11 be transported to and from the site in
cars or trucks.A jackhammer, circular saw, and various hand tools will be used for the
proposed project. All existing manmade debris d construction debris will be removed
from shoreline at the site, following constructioi i.
2.1 Project Activities
Removal of the Existing Boat Ramp, Pio r, & Float
Wood members of the existing boat ramp, pier, iind float will be disassembled, using a
circular saw and hand tools. Concrete footings A ill be dug out by hand and broken apart
with a jackhammer. Disassembled/demolished i iaterial will be removed from the
shoreline via manual labor. Geo-textile fabric All be spread over the dry lakebed during
disassembly/demolition to contain any construc ion debris.
Construction of the Rock and Mortar B ilkhead Section
Following disassembly/demolition, a twenty-foi it section of rock and mortar bulkhead
will be installed on top of the existing bulkhead in the gap that was previously occupied
by the boat ramp. Mortar will be mixed in a po able mixer on site and applied to the rock
as the rock is set.After the mortar dries,the bul ead will be backfilled with gravel.
Paving stones will be set in place atop the gravc I following construction of the pier, ramp,
and floats.
Excavation of the Concrete Bulkhead'sNew Footing, Holes for the Pier
and the Float Landing and the Buoy At chor
Excavation for the concrete bulkhead's replacement footing,the pier and float landing
pilings/posts,and the buoy anchor will be done by r Lanual labor,using hand tools,following
disassembly/demolition,due to the difficulty of a cessing the site with heavy machinery.
The new footing will be approx. 57' x 3' x 2',aq previously noted. The piling/post holes will
be approx. six feet in depth and three by three feet n width(6'x 3'x 3'),while the buoy anchor
hole will be two by two by two feet(2'x 2' x 2').
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 5
Construction of the Concrete Bulkhead's Footing, the PRFs, and the Buoy
Forms for the concrete bulkhead's new footing will be constructed on site, using
untreated lumber.Rebar will be bent to 90 degrees and pinned to the existing footing and
set horizontally along the footing, which will then be filled with fiber reinforced Portland
cement concrete. After the concrete has sufficiently cured,the forms will be removed,
and some of the excavated material will be spread along the new toe to fill in any
depressions left by the removal of the forms.
Before concrete is poured for the PRFs,pier posts and pilings will be positioned in the
appropriate holes.The pier and float will be constructed of pressure treated lumber,
composite decking, and galvanized steel or aluminum hardware.All Styrofoam float
material will be encapsulated. A fabricated steel cradle for the float will be attached to the
8"pilings. An aluminum ramp or ladder will be installed between the pier and the most
waterward float (4.6' x 21').
Before concrete is poured for the buoy anchor,the hole will be reinforced with rebar and
an eye hook threaded through a piece of the rebar. After the concrete has sufficiently
cured, a galvanized buoy chain and a buoy will be attached to the eye hook.
Concrete for the bulkhead footing,the PRFs, and the buoy will be poured at the same
time. Geo-textile fabric will be spread over the dry lakebed during construction to contain
any manmade construction debris. All existing manmade debris and project debris will be
removed from the shoreline at the site following construction.
Mitigation Planting
Native vegetation will be planted in a ten by twenty-foot(10' x 20') area immediately
landward of the shoreline,where vegetation is currently lacking. The exact location of the
plantings and the 10' by 20' area will be at the applicants' discretion. Due to the potential
for the roots of trees and large shrubs to damage the bulkhead, especially during summer
drought conditions, it is recommended that any trees or large shrubs be installed at least
ten feet(10') landward of the bulkhead.At least 20 plants and five different species will
be installed. Planting will occur in the fall (after the cessation of drought conditions) or in
the early spring. Vegetation will be in one or two gallon pots, bare root, or harvested
from the site.
Recommended native species include: shore pine (Pinus contorta contorta),vine maple
(Acer circinatum),Pacific dogwood(Corpus nuttallii), Western yew (Taxus brevifolia),

above list at the applicant's discretion.
2.2 Monitoring and Maintenance
The property owners will monitor and water an native vegetation plantings as needed
during dry months, until the vegetation has bec e established. Dead plants will be
replaced throughout the monitoring period. Invz sive,non-native vegetation will be
removed or cut back as necessary.
2.3 Timing
Work on the proposed projects will be completc J over an approx.thirty(30) day period
during daylight working hours normal to a rural neighborhood. Work will only take place
when the water level of Lake Cushman is low, hich is generally between October and
April.
2.4 Conservation Measures
1. An existing boat ramp, pier, and floz t occupying a total of 960 sf will be
permanently removed from the site hich will result in a reduction of 662.9 sf
of overwater coverage at the site.
2. No construction to occur when Lake ushman's waters are raised.
3. Project construction will occur betw en October I"to February 281h
for the protection of marbled murrel is and northern spotted owls.
4. Construction to take place as per the PPA provisions from the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 7
5. Previously discussed BMPs to be strictly adhered to.
6. Native vegetation will be planted in a ten by twenty-foot(10' x 20') area
immediately landward of the shoreline,where vegetation is currently lacking.
(see Mitigation Planting)
2.5 Best Management Practices
In order to maintain the present water quality of Lake Cushman during project
construction,Best Management Practices (BMPs)will be implemented. BMPs are
defined as physical, structural, and/or managerial practices that prevent or reduce the
pollution of water(WDOE). The following source control BMPs,which are detailed in
the WDOE's Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, Volume H
Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention (2012), shall be implemented for long-
term protection of water quality at the site:
BMP C154: Concrete Washout Area
Purpose:Prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to stormwater from concrete waste
by conducting washout off-site, or performing on-site washout in a designated area to
prevent pollutants from entering surface waters or ground water.
Conditions of Use:Concrete washout area best management practices are implemented
on construction projects where:
*Concrete is used as a construction material.
•It is not possible to dispose of all concrete wastewater and washout off-site(ready
mix plant, etc.).
•Concrete trucks, pumpers, or other concrete coated equipment are washed on-site.
•Note: If less than 10 concrete trucks or pumpers need to be washed out on-site,the
wash water may be disposed of in a formed area awaiting concrete or an upland
disposal site where it will not contaminate surface or ground water. The upland
disposal site shall be at least 50 feet from sensitive areas such as storm drains,
open ditches, or water bodies, including wetlands.
•A temporary washout facility shall be constructed on-site or the concrete truck will be
washed out off-site.
•When temporary concrete washout facilities are no longer required for the work,the
hardened concrete, slurries and liquids shall be removed and properly disposed of.
•Materials used to construct temporary concrete washout facilities shall be removed from
the site of the work and disposed of or recycled.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 8
BMP C151: Concrete Handling
Purpose: Concrete work can generate process ater and slurry that contain fine particles
and high pH, both of which can violate water qi ality standards in the receiving water.
Concrete spillage or concrete discharge to surf e waters of the State is prohibited. Use
this BMP to minimize and eliminate concrete, ncrete process water, and concrete slurry
from entering waters of the state.
Conditions of Use:Any time concrete is used, i tilize these management practices.
•Wash out concrete truck chutes, pumps, an I internals into formed areas only. Assure
that washout of concrete trucks is perfor ned offsite or in designated concrete
washout areas. DO not wash out concre trucks onto the ground, or into storm
drains, open ditches, streets, or streams.
*Return unused concrete remaining in the tr ick and pump to the originating batch
plant for recycling. Do not dump excess concrete on site, except in designated
concrete washout areas.
*Wash off hand tools including, but not lim ed to, screeds, shovels, rakes, floats, and
trowels into formed areas only.
•Wash equipment difficult to move in areas that do not directly drain to natural or
constructed stormwater conveyances.
•Do not allow washdown from areas, such concrete aggregate driveways,to drain
directly to natural or constructed stormv ater conveyances(or Puget Sound).
*Contain washwater and leftover product in a lined container when no formed areas
are available. Dispose of contained con ete in a manner that does not violate
ground water or surface water quality st dards.
*Always use forms or solid barriers for con ete pours, such a pilings, within 15-feet
of surface waters.
BMW C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation
Wherever practical, native vegetation shall be p-eserved to reduce erosion. Natural
vegetation should be preserved on steep slopes, near perennial and intermittent
watercourses or swales, and on building sites in wooded areas.
BMP C233: Silt Fence
Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturb d areas. Silt fence shall prevent soil
carried by runoff water from going beneath,thr, ugh, or over the top of the silt fence but
shall allow the water to pass through the fence.
The following additional BMPs will be used insure that water quality is not
degraded during and after construction:
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 9
I
• Equipment shall be cleaned and checked for leaks, offsite and daily,before
commencing work.
• Pressure treated wood used in the project shall undergo one or more of the
following BMPs to minimize leaching of contaminants: a)Aqua-Ammonia
Steaming Cycle(AASC). b)Post Treatment Kiln Drying. c)Minimum Plant
Holding Time. d) In-Retort Ammonia Removal Plus Plan Holding Time. e)

3.0 Action Area
The action area is located on the shoreline of Lake Cushman at the proposed project site.
Besides the proposed project location, the action area includes the surrounding area
within a designated distance from the site in order to account for construction impacts
that may affect species listed under the Endangered Species Act by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service as either endangered or
threatened. The limits of the action area are based upon the geographic extent(in both
aquatic and terrestrial environments) of the physical, chemical, and biological effects
resulting from the proposed action, including direct and indirect effects, as well as effects
of interrelated and interdependent activities(WSDOT 2010). Turbidity and noise are
expected to be the most detrimental project effects. Since work will occur when Lake
Cushman is lowered, project turbidity is expected to be no greater than turbidity that is
common to the area during heavy rains,when various ephemeral and perennial streams
and the north fork of the Skokomish River discharge sediment laden water into Lake
Cushman. It is probable that the project's distance from the lake's lowered shoreline will
be great enough that disturbed sediments will disperse gradually(via precipitation) over
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 10
the exposed lakebed without ever reaching wate until the lake is raised.Therefore,
terrestrial noise is expected to be the most far-rc iching effect from the proposed
installation of a new/replacement bulkhead at tl e site.
The action area for terrestrial noise effects is ba ed upon an ambient sound level of 40
dBA for an area with a population of less than 1 0 people per mile (WSDOT 2010). In
addition, the Olympic National Forest programr katic biological assessment uses an
estimated ambient level of 40 dBA for undisturl ed forested areas(USDI 2003). Noise
levels for the sawing of lumber with a circular s w during project
disassembly/construction and the demolition of oncrete footings with a jackhammer will
produce the proposed project's maximum noise evels.
The noise level of a chain saw was used to asce ain the noise level of a circular saw.The
noise level at 50 feet from a chain saw is 84 dB (WSDOT 2014). The noise level of a
chain saw at three feet is 110 dBA,while a circt lar saw is 100 dBA.Assuming that a
chain saw is between approx. five and ten perce it noisier than a circular saw,the noise
level of a circular saw at fifty feet was assigned 79 dBA.The noise level at 50 feet from a
jackhammer is 89 dBA(WSDOT 2014), so not from the demolition of the concrete
footings will produce the project's maximum n 'se levels.
To determine the distance that the proposed pro ct's maximum point source construction
noise will travel before it attenuates to the ambi nt sound level;the following Practical
Spreading Loss Model equation was used:
D=Do * 10((Construction Noise—Ambient ound Level in dBA)/a) Where D=the
distance from the noise &Do=the reference m asurement distance of 50'.
Maximum construction noise from the propose project will travel approx. 14,090' over
hard site conditions(Lake Cushman) and 4560' over soft site conditions (forested areas)
before it(the noise)attenuates to the ambient sc and level. Therefore,the extent of the
action area is 2.67 mi. over the lake's surface at d 0.86 mi. inland from the proposed
project site and adjacent shorelines(Attachmen 1).
In addition,the action area includes Big Creek, fish-bearing stream that is located
approx. 2.30 miles to the southeast of the site. 1,umerous unnamed fish-bearing streams
are located in the action area, including three th t are approx. 0.15, 0.45, 0.84 mi. to the
southeast of the site.Numerous ephemeral strea ms are located throughout the action area.
4.0 ESA Species and Habitat Info mation
In the proposed project area,there are six speci4 s listed under the Endangered Species
Act by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (US S) as either threatened, endangered, or
candidate species. The bull trout(Salvelinus coi ifluentus),marbled murrelet
(Brachyramphus marmoratus), northern spotte owl (Stridex occidentalis), and streaked
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 11
i
horned lark(Eremophila alpestris strigata)are listed as threatened and critical habitat has
been designated for these species. The proposed project action area is in the bull trouts',
marbled murrelets', and spotted owls' critical habitat. The yellow-billed cuckoo
(Coccyzus americanus) and the fisher(Mantes pennanti)are listed as proposed threatened
and candidate species, respectively.
In the proposed project area,there is one species listed under the Endangered Species Act
by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) as either threatened, endangered, or
candidate species. The Puget Sound Chinook salmon(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is
listed as threatened and critical habitat has been designated. Lake Cushman is a historical
watershed of the Chinook that has been anthropogenically blocked;however, it has been
designated critical habitat.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) GIS maps reveal the
documented presence of two other species of salmonids on the State's PHS list within the
action area: Kokanee(Oncorhynchus nerka) and the Puget Sound/Coastal cutthroat trout
(Oncorhynchus clarki clarki). The presence of these two species has been documented in
Lake Cushman. WDFW data reveals that Lake Cushman was stocked with 23,896
cutthroat trout in 2005 and 205,800 Kokanee (landlocked sockeye salmon) in 2004.A
WDFW biologist reported that other species that inhabit the lake include rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss) and non-native largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides).
4.1 ESA Listed Species
BULL TROUT
Bull trout are members of the char subgroup of the salmon family and are native to the
Pacific Northwest and western Canada. Water temperature above 15 degrees Celsius is
believed to limit bull trout distribution, as eggs and juveniles require extremely cold
water for survival. Bull trout are also vulnerable to degraded stream habitat, poor water
quality, dams and other stream blocking structures, and predation by non-native fish.
Critical habitat includes the upper North Fork of the Skokomish River(70 FR 56304).
Critical Habitat in the North Fork of the Skokomish River includes spawning and rearing
habitat. Lake Cushman provides rearing, foraging, and migration habitat, so it is expected
that bull trout may be found in the action area of the proposed project site.
MARBLED MURRELET
A small, diving seabird in the family Alcidae,the marbled murrelet forages for small fish
and invertebrates almost exclusively in nearshore marine waters,while nesting inland in
old-growth or mature conifer forests.Threats include loss of habitat, predation, gill-net
fishing operations, oil spills,marine pollution, and disease. The USFWS assembled a
team of scientists in October 2011 to investigate causes for the continued decline in
murrelet populations.The outcome of these discussions listed many factors, chiefly loss
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 12
of potential nesting habitat as the main reason fr hindrance of population recovery goals
(WDFW 2012).
Potential nest trees are coniferous trees within mi (88.5 km) of marine waters that
support at least one 4-inch(10.2-cm) diameter atform located at least 33 feet(10
meters) above the ground, with horizontal and rtical cover(USFWS 2012). If a tree or
forested area does not support these habitat feat 'res, it is"extremely unlikely"to support
a murrelet nest(USFWS 2012).Nest success nfluenced by forest structure,the spatial
mix of habitat and non-habitat, human disturb a e, prey availability, and marine foraging
conditions.Human disturbance can lead to high r predation levels by Steller's and gray
jays, crows,ravens,and other species that seek uman-related foods and refuse at high-
use recreational areas(Peery et al. 2004, Marzlt ff and Neatherlin 2006).
Critical habitat for the marbled murrelet,which was designated in May of 1996 and
revised in October of 2011, is located within th proposed project's action area to the
northwest of the project site; therefore, it must t e assumed that marbled murrelets may be
found nesting in the action area. State Route 11 I I is located between the project site, Lake
Cushman, and the marbled murrelets' critical h,bitat, so it is expected that any marbled
murrelets nesting in the action area,will do so the far side (north side) of the highway.
Additionally,the proposed project will not resu in the loss of any trees or other
vegetation, and water quality at the site will be inimally impacted. For the protection of
marbled murrelets,project construction will oc r between October I"to February 28th,
when marbled murrelets are not nesting.
NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL
The Northern Spotted Owl is one of the largest wls in North America, and the average
adult female is approximately 18 inches tall wit a 48-inch wingspan.Northern spotted
owls are strictly nocturnal, and require old-grov th forests with multi-layered canopies of
trees, including large trees with broken tops, de ormed limbs, and large holes and cavities
to nest in. The Northern spotted owl is very terf torial and intolerant of habitat
disturbance, and a pair requires a large amount f forest for hunting and nesting.Habitat
loss has occurred as a result of forest conversio ,timber harvest, fire, windthrow, insect
outbreak and disease(WDFW 2012).
The USFWS designated revised critical habitat or the northern spotted owl under the
Endangered Species Act. In total, approximatel 9,577,969 acres (ac) (3,876,064hectares
(ha)) in I 1 units and 60 subunits in California, Oregon, and Washington fall within the
boundaries of the 2 critical habitat designation. rhe action area includes designated
critical habitat for the Northern spotted owl;th efore, it must be assumed that Northern
spotted owls may be found nesting in the actior area. For the protection of spotted owls,
project construction will occur between Octobe 1st to February 28th,when Northern
spotted owls are not nesting. Additionally,the I roposed project will not result in the loss
of any trees or other vegetation.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 13
STREAKED HORNED LARK
Horned larks are birds that utilize wide open spaces with no trees and few or no shrubs.
The streaked horned lark nests on the ground in sparsely vegetated sites dominated by
grasses and shrubs. Historically this type of habitat was found in prairies in western
Oregon and Washington, in dune habitats along the coast of Washington, on the sandy
beaches and spits along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and in grasslands, estuaries,
and sandy beaches in British Columbia(WDFW 2012). Today the streaked horned lark
nests in a broad range of habitats, including native prairies, coastal dunes, fallow and
active agricultural fields,wetland mudflats, sparsely-vegetated edges of grass fields,
recently planted Christmas tree farms with extensive bare ground, moderately-to heavily-
grazed pastures, gravel roads or gravel shoulders of lightly-traveled roads, airports, and
dredge deposition sites in the lower Columbia River(WDFW 2012).
It is expected that the action area contains unsuitable habitat for the streaked horned lark.
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO
The yellow-billed cuckoo(Coccyzus americanus) is a neotropical migrant bird that
winters in South America and breeds in western North America.The yellow-billed
cuckoo is insectivorous and lives in riparian woodlands(USFWS 2014). Reports of
individual cuckoos have been very rare in recent decades, with only three known reports
since 2000,these being near Lind(Adams Co.) in 2001, near Eureka(Walla Walla Co.)
in June 2007, and from Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge (Stevens Co.) in
June 2012. Habitat loss and pesticide use are thought to be two of the main causes for the
precipitous decline of western yellow-billed cuckoos.Agriculture, grazing, reservoir
construction, flood control, urbanization, and other factors across the West have caused
the large-scale loss and degradation of lowland riparian forest,which is the cuckoo's
primary habitat.
It is expected that the action area contains unsuitable habitat for the yellow-billed cuckoo.
FISHER
The fisher is a stocky, dark brown member of the weasel family that is approximately the
size of a house cat. Historically, fishers occurred throughout much of the mid to low
elevation forested areas of Washington, but they were extirpated from the state by the
mid 1900s (WDFW 2012). The two main causes of the fisher's decline were over-
trapping and loss and fragmentation of forested habitats from logging,road construction,
urban development,recreation, and wildfires. A reintroduced population in Olympic
National Park is quite small(initially 90 fishers). Tracking maps revealed at least one
fisher migrating northeast of Lake Cushman in 2010 (WDFW 2011). Several have been
killed by vehicle strikes.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 14
Vehicle transportation of workers(i.e.the appli ant)to the site of the proposed project
has the potential to impact fishers in the action rea; although,the odds of the applicant's
vehicle hitting a fisher are no greater than that any other vehicle hitting one.
CHINOOK SALMON
Chinook salmon in Lake Cushman are a land-1 ked population that originated from
anadromous fish, although loss of genetic varial ion makes it difficult to determine
whether they are descended from historical Ho d Canal populations or introduced
hatchery fish(NOAA 2006). Lake Cushman Cf inook are genetically different, smaller in
size(and presumably less fecund)than their an romous counterparts(Myers et al.
1998). On Jan. 12,2009,Tacoma Power,the Skok ish Tribal Nation and state and federal
agencies signed a settlement agreement that res lved a$5.8 billion damages claim and
long-standing disputes over the terms of a long erm license for Cushman Hydroelectric
Project. Tacoma Power has proposed to introdu e sockeye and spring Chinook and
enhance the existing winter steelhead and coho opulations in the North Fork in
cooperation with the WDFW and the Skokomi Tribe (Tacoma Public Utilities 2014). In
addition, Tacoma Power will annually release to 100,000 rainbow trout for sport
harvest(TPU 2014).
Lake Cushman has been designated Critical ha 'tat, and the site provides rearing,
foraging, and migration habitat, so it is expected that adult and/or juvenile Chinook
salmon may be found in the action area.
5.0 Environmental Baseline Con 'tions
5.1 Action Area
The environmental baseline represents the exist ng set of conditions,to which the effects
of the proposed action are then added. The envi onmental baseline is defined as"the past
and present impacts of all Federal, state, and pri vate actions and other human activities in
the action area,the anticipated impacts of all pr posed Federal projects in the action area
that have already undergone formal or informal section 7 consultation, and the impact of
state or private actions which are contemporan us with the consultation process"(50
CFR 402.02).The proposed project site is in IA 16 (Water Resource Inventory Area),
on Lake Cushman in Mason County. The majoi ty of the fresh and marine waterbodies in
WRIA 16 suffer from water quality issues;how ver Lake Cushman is not listed on the
state's 2008 Water Quality 303(d)-5 list of imp ired waterbodies for any parameters.
The proposed project site is located in a rural n 'ghborhood on a lot with approximately
64 feet of frontage on Lake Cushman, in an area classified as an Urban Residential
shoreline environment by the Shoreline Master rogram of Mason County. Neighboring
parcels support single-family residences (or rec eational cabins), bulkheads,piers, and
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 15
floats. Forested land in the vicinity of Lake Cushman has been logged heavily. Erosion
impacts from surface flows have been particularly damaging in the logged areas above
the lake's west shore.
Before the completion of two dams in 1926 and 1930, Lake Cushman was a natural
oligotrophic lake with a mean depth of 200 feet. Now Lake Cushman is 4,010-acre water
body in the Olympic National Forest, having been altered in size to accommodate the
hydroelectric dams. Because of the dams, water levels in Lake Cushman can fluctuate up
to 21 meters(69 feet),with peak levels occurring during summer and minimum levels
during winter. The magnitude of these fluctuations results in periodic inundation of 12
hectares(30 acres)of land surrounding the inlet to the reservoir, resulting in high water
temperatures in the shallow waters of the inlet during the summer months (Brenkman
1998). Currently,the reservoir inundates 17.2 kilometers(10.7 miles)of river, including
areas of the original Lake Cushman (Brenkman 1998).
5.2 Proposed Project Area
Field investigations were conducted in March of 2012 and July of 2014.The project area was
surveyed visually on foot. The lake's water level was lowered at the time of the former
(field investigation)and at approx. 738 feet,the current ordinary high water mark, at the
time of the latter.
The proposed project site is located on a small, partially developed waterfront lot on the
east side of Lake Cushman.There are existing bulkheads, a boat ramp, deck, shed, pier,
and float(Attachments 9-12). The property is heavily vegetated with native vegetation.
The substrate in lake's littoral zone,which is the near shore area where light penetrates to
the bottom, consists primarily of sand, gravel, cobble, and clay. The slope along the
littoral zone is relatively gentle for Lake Cushman.No macrophytes or fish were
observed.A small amount of algae was observed.
The following native species were observed at the site: Douglas-fir(Pseudotsuga
menziesii),western hemlock(Tsuga heterophylla), Western red cedar(Thuja plicata),
Red alder(alnus rubra), evergreen huckleberry(Vaccinium ovatum), red huckleberry
(Vaccinium parvifolium), salal (Gaultheria shallon), Oregon-grape(Berberis nervosa),
and sword fern(Polystichum munitum).

6.0 Effects of the Action
6.1Direct Effects
Direct effects to the shoreline include: 1) Loss f benthic habitat from the installation of
the concrete bulkhead's new footing, six pier p ts, five steel pilings, and the buoy
anchor. 2) Creation of shade from the replace nt pier,ramp, and floats. 3)
Contamination to Lake Cushman from the leac ng of wood preservatives.
1)The footprint of the bulkhead footing, post/p ings and the buoy anchor will be located
waterward of the lake's high water mark of 738feet;nevertheless,the bulkhead footing,
posts/pilings and buoy anchor are expected to have an insignificant impact on benthic
habitat. The bulkhead's new footing will only o cupy approx. 114 sf of benthic habitat,
while each pier post and piling(with a concrete ase)will occupy approx. seven sf(so all
the pier posts and pilings will occupy 77 sf).H ever, as per the engineered plans,the
area of the steel piles(approx. 0.34 sf for each ght inch steel pile and 0.25 sf for each
pier post, totaling 3.2 sf) will constitute the onl lost surface area, as the concrete bases
for each piling will be covered by the lake's(b om) substrate. The buoy anchor's 4.0 sf
footprint is also expected to be covered by the 1 ke's substrate.
In addition, due to the seasonal fluctuations of t ke lake's water level, it is probable that
benthic species do not thrive in the nearshore a as of the lake that lack permanent water.
No empirical evidence was found to document i f both terrestrial and aquatic species
utilize the upper shoreline habitat, or if it has b n too altered to support normal
concentrations of either species.
2)Another direct effect is the creation of shade rom the replacement pier, ramp, and
floats. The existing pier and overhanging shore ne deck produce a reduction in light to
the underlying aquatic environment by creating i light/dark boundary that may give
piscivorous species an advantage over their pre The use of over-water structures in
western Washington waters by bass, a common non-native predator of juvenile
salmonids, has been documented by several aut ors. Largemouth bass in Lake
Washington prefer areas of heavy log and brust cover over other habitat types; however,
they are commonly found under docks in early pring and are thought to be present until
late summer(Stein 1970). Substrate type typica ly determines the acceptability of an area
for bass spawning, but adjacent cover and struc ural complexity are also necessary for
protection while the fish are concentrated in sh low water(Stein 1970; Cooper and
Crowder 1979;Helfinan 1981b; Pflug and Paul y 1984). The substrate type in the
vicinity of the bulkhead and landing is gravel, bble, and rock. Largemouth bass prefer
moderate to dense vegetation and silt or sand s strate, and nests are constructed at
depths from 0.6 to 1.5 meters, in vegetated are with soft sediment or gravel substrate on
moderate to steep slopes (Pflug 1981). The prof-Ict site possesses unsuitable habitat for
bass, so it is doubtful that the proposed pier, rar ip, and float will increase the
concentration of bass at the site or the occurren e of juvenile salmonid predation by bass.
The project site supports no existing macroph vegetation and has no potential to
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 17
support macrophyte vegetation, due to the Jake's(anthropogenic) seasonal water
fluctuations. In addition, White(1975) determined that phytoplankton primary production
is not significantly reduced by narrow residential piers, due to the presence of more
optimal light conditions than found in surface waters,where light intensities are higher
than those in which algae thrive.
Data suggests that other fish species, including salmonids, are also attracted to the shade
produced by over-water structures, so it is possible that adult salmonids could prey on
juveniles at the site. However, researchers have indicated that structural complexity can
moderate predator-prey interactions by providing more refuges for prey species as well as
reducing the foraging efficiency of the predator(Cooper and Crowder 1979). This
moderation may apply to naturally occurring structural habitat complexity, as well as
habitat complexity due to the presence of docks, piers, boathouses and associated pilings
(WDFW, WDOE, WSDOT 2001).
Shade can also affect migrating salmonids. It is not known whether over-water structures
disrupt the migration of salmonids in lakes.Numerous studies suggest that docks, piers,
and floats attract fish, and that the attraction of fish is linked to shade produced by the
object not tactile stimulus. While the effects of shade on migrating juvenile salmonids in
lakes is unknown, it is also unclear in marine waters, and there is no empirical evidence
of mortality.The significance of predation to migrating populations has never been
empirically assessed(Simenstad et al. 1999).No studies have examined mortality due to
predation much less that mortality is attributable to overwater structures (Nightingale&
Simenstad 2001).
In conclusion, shade created by the proposed pier, ramp, and float is expected to have
discountable and insignificant direct effects on ESA listed salmonids that may be in the
action area.
In addition,the proposed project will result in a reduction of approx. 662.9 sf of
overwater structure coverage at the site.
3)The leaching of wood preservatives is a common contaminant-related issue with the
construction of shoreline SFR appurtenances.ACZA pressure treated wood,which is
more prevalent on the west coast because it effectively treats Douglas fir, contains
copper,zinc, chromium, and arsenic. The main active ingredient of concern for effects to
fish is copper.Environmentally realistic concentrations of free copper are noted to impact
the resistance of fishes to disease, cause hyperactivity, impair respiration, disrupt
osmoregulation or impair olfactory performance (NOAA 2009). The majority of projects
proposing to use treated wood are smaller than the 100 piling size which predicts
potentially problematic water column concentrations of copper at current velocities of 1
cm/sec or less(NOAA 2009).Also,ACZA leaching rates were very low in fresh water
within ten days of installation(Brooks 1995,NMFS 1998, Hutton& Samis 2000).
A boardwalk study(FPL 2000)was conducted in Oregon on a 1,800 foot long boardwalk,
constructed in a wetland area from three different copper treated products,to evaluate the
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 18
product's environmental effects. The environmc nt was slow moving freshwater,with fine
grained sediments and heavy rainfall (NOAA 2009).A localized pattern of distribution
indicated that the majority of leached copper wE s bound to suspended materials that
settled into the sediments(NOAA 2009). Moni ring of leaching found that the greatest
amount leached during initial rainfall(NOAA 2 09). Four invertebrate sampling events
were conducted at the AZCA site over a one ye period to detect potential adverse
effects. Results did not show a significant redu ion in habitat quality, and no taxa were
extirpated from the study area, despite elevated oncentrations of copper near the
boardwalk(NOAA 2009).
It is unlikely that leaching from treated wood w 11 have a noticeable impact on aquatic
life in Lake Cushman at the proposed project si , given the following: a)The pressure
treated wood that will be used in the proposed oject will only be directly exposed to the
waters of Lake Cushman for approx. six month each year. Rain that falls on all treated
wood utilized in the proposed project will drain irectly into Lake Cushman, causing an
unknown level of water and sediment contamin tion;however, because the lake's water
level will be low during construction, it is prob le (assuming normal winter/spring
frequent precipitation)that the greatest concenti ition of leached contaminants will be
bound to sediments in the substrate before the 1 e's waters are raised. b) The project is
significantly smaller than the 100 piling size wh ch predicts potentially problematic water
column concentrations of copper at current velo ities of 1 cm/sec or less. c)All pressure
treated wood used in the proposed project shall e sufficiently cured to minimize
leaching of contaminants into the water.
Temporary Direct Effects
Temporary direct effects caused by the propose project include: 1) Turbidity and
sedimentation in Lake Cushman. 2)Noise. 3) ater pollution from incidental release of
fuel, oil, or other contaminants.
1)Disturbed substrate from the installatioloff
f the replacement concrete bulkhead's
toe,the replacement PRFs' posts/pilinand the buoy anchor may result in
increased turbidity and sedimentation. previously discussed, BMPs will be
strictly adhered to during constructionorder to maintain the present water
quality of Lake Cushman and prevent and pollution. In addition,the
proposed project will take place when t water level in the lake is much lower
than the OHWM(738'), so it is probabl( that rainfall will slowly disperse any
disturbed substrate before it comes into lirect contact with the lake's waters.
Therefore, it is expected that turbidity a d sedimentation will be minimal.
2) The main source of construction noise Y ill be from the sawing of lumber for the
bulkhead footing form,the pier, ramp, a id floats, and the demolition of the
existing pier and float footings.Noise All be intermittent and is expected to be a
maximum of 89 dBA at 50 feet. Since tt ere is critical habitat and nesting habitat
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 19
for both Northern spotted owls and marbled murrelets in the action area,proposed
project noise is expected to exceed disturbance, disruption, and/or physical injury
distance thresholds for northern spotted owl during their nesting season (March 1
to September 30) and marbled murrelet during their nesting season (April 1 to
September 22). Proposed timing restrictions will limit construction from October
ist to February 28t". These dates roughly coincide with the seasonal lowering of
Lake Cushman.
3)Potential water pollution from accidental release of fuel, oil, concrete, or other
contaminants is another possible temporary direct effect. As previously discussed,
Spill Prevention Control measures and BMPs shall be implemented throughout
the proposed project.
6.2 Primary Constituent Elements
PRIMARY CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS
In order to properly analyze the effects on designated critical habitat, a logical framework
must be utilized. In determining what areas are critical habitat, agency regulations require
the NMFS to focus on the principal biological or physical constituent elements that are
essential to the conservation of the species. The regulations identify Primary Constituent
elements (PCEs) as including, but not limited to: "roost sites, nesting grounds, spawning
sites, feeding sites, seasonal wetland or dryland, water quality or quantity, host species or
plant pollinator, geological formation, vegetation type,tide, and specific soil types(69
FR 71888)." In 2003 NMFS biologists developed a list of PCEs specific to salmon, based
on a decision matrix(NMFS, 1996)that describes general parameters and characteristics
of most of the essential features under consideration when critical habitat is designated.
There are six specific types of sites essential to support one or more life stages of an ESU
(sites for spawning,rearing,migration, and foraging).Each site names physical or
biological features(PCEs)essential to the conservation of salmonids. In 2010, USFWS
biologists developed a list of PCEs specific to bull trout,based on a decision matrix
(NMFS, 1996)that describes general parameters and characteristics of most of the
essential features under consideration when critical habitat is designated. Lakes and
reservoirs figure prominently in meeting the life-cycle requirements of adfluvial bull
trout. Lake Cushman is designated critical habitat for the bull trout and the Chinook
salmon;therefore,the direct effects on the designated critical habitat of bull trout and
Chinook salmon have been analyzed using the appropriate PCEs for the nearshore
lacustrine environment.
BULL TROUT PCEs:
Water temperatures that support bull trout use. Bull trout have been documented in
streams with temperatures from 32 to 72 degrees F but are found more frequently in
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 20
temperatures ranging from 36 to 59 degrees F the project will have no direct effect on
water temperatures that support bull trout use.
Migratory corridors with minimal physical, biological, or water quality impediments
between spawning, rearing, overwintering, an foraging habitats, including
intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by h h water temperatures or low flows—
the project will have no direct effect on migrato y corridors that support bull trout use.
Passage will not be altered during construction s no construction will occur unless the
waters of Lake Cushman are low. The reductior in overwater structure coverage at the
site is expected to benefit unobstructed passage ror bull trout, as overwater structures
create a light/dark boundary that may give pisci Korous species an advantage over their
prey.
An abundant food base including terrestrial o anisms of riparian origin, and aquatic
macroinvertebrates—the project is expected to iave a minimal direct effect on an
abundant food base for bull trout. Construction vill take place when the lake's waters are
lowered and overwater coverage will be reduced by approx. 662.9 square feet.
Permanent water of sufficient quantity and qu lity such that normal reproduction,
growth, and survival are not inhibited--the pro ect is expected to have a minimal direct
effect on water quality. Project construction is u ilikely to cause temporary turbidity or
sedimentation, and the treated lumber that will I e utilized in the proposed project is not
expected to adversely affect the water quality ol Lake Cushman in the action area, if
proposed BMPs are adhered to.
CHINOOK SALMON PCEs:
Unobstructed passage—passage will not be alt red during construction as no
construction will occur unless the waters of La Cushman are low.The reduction in
overwater structure coverage at the site is expec ed to benefit unobstructed passage for
Chinook.
Water Quality—project construction is unlikel3 to cause temporary turbidity or
sedimentation. The treated lumber that will be t Lilized in the proposed project is not
expected to adversely affect the water quality ol Lake Cushman in the action area, if
proposed BMPs are adhered to.
Water Quantity—the project will have no effec on water quantity.
Forage—reduction in overwater coverage may aecrease foraging opportunities for adult
salmonids.
Natural Cover—the project will have no direct ffect on natural cover.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 21
6.3 Direct Effects to ESA Listed Species
The direct effect from the proposed project to other ESA listed species that are likely to
be found in the action area have been analyzed as follows:
NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL
The action area includes designated critical habitat for the Northern spotted owl;
therefore, it must be assumed that Northern spotted owls may be found nesting in the
action area. For the protection of spotted owls, project construction will occur between
October 1st to February 281h,when Northern spotted owls are not nesting.
Note: The rural neighborhood where the site is located extends approx. 1.4 mi. south of
the proposed project site, 0.1 mi.northeast to State Route 119, and 0.18 northwest.
Beyond the northwest boundary of the neighborhood, SR 119 is located less than 0.08 mi.
from the shoreline of Lake Cushman for approx.three miles, heading toward the
Staircase recreation area. With the extensive acreage of undeveloped forest land nearby,
it seems unlikely that Northern spotted owls will be nesting, roosting, or foraging in the
vicinity of anthropogenic development.
MARBLED MURRELET
The primary threats to marbled murrelet from anthropogenic activities include loss of
nesting habitat, gill-net fishing operations, oil spills, and marine pollution. Previously
noted BMPs and Spill Prevention Control Measures will be adhered to during project
construction to protect the water quality of Lake Cushman. In addition, no trees or other
vegetation will be removed as a result of the proposed project. The action area includes
designated critical habitat for the marbled murrelet;therefore, it must be assumed that
marbled murrelets may be found nesting in the action area. For the protection of marbled
murrelets,project construction will occur between October Ist to February 28th,when
marbled murrelets are not nesting.
Note: The rural neighborhood where the site is located extends approx. 1.4 mi. south of
the proposed project site, 0.1 mi. northeast to State Route 119, and 0.18 northwest.
Beyond the northwest boundary of the neighborhood, SR 119 is located less than 0.08 mi.
from the shoreline of Lake Cushman for approx.three miles,heading toward the
Staircase recreation area. It seems unlikely that any marbled murrelets would nest in a
rural neighborhood with the extensive acreage of undeveloped forest land nearby.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 22
6.4 Indirect Effects
Indirect effects are those effects that are caused by or will result from the proposed action
and are later in time,but are still reasonably ce ain to occur(50 CFR 402.02). Possible
indirect effects from the proposed project inclu e: 1)The loss of shoreline aquatic
vegetation. 2)Potential increased motorized b t presence in the area. 3)The new
section of the existing rock and mortar bulkhea and the concrete bulkhead's new toe
exacerbates passive erosion to the shoreline. 4) ulkhead improvements at the site causes
a reduction in the accumulation of large drift to s on the beach.
1) The pier, ramp, floats, and pilings will cause reduction in light to the underlying
aquatic environment, which can have significa impacts on the health and productivity
of both native and non-native macrophytes and lgae. Macrophytes and algae are the
foundation for most freshwater food webs and t ieir presence or absence affects many
higher trophic levels(NMFS 2004). It is expec d that the impact of the lake's fluctuating
water level on littoral productivity will oversha ow the impacts of shading from the PRF
at the proposed project site.As previously disc sed, White (1975)determined that
phytoplankton primary production is not signifi antly reduced by narrow residential
piers, due to the presence of more optimal light onditions than found in surface waters
where light intensities are higher than those in i rhich algae thrive.
2)The pier, ramp, and floats may result in an i reased motorized boat presence in the
area. Fuel spills from powerboats can contamin to water quality and potentially affect
listed salmonids directly or indirectly through t eir prey source(NMFS 2005).
Powerboats also create amplified wave action t at can erode the shoreline, and prop
scouring can erode benthic habitat, although bei thic habitat in the littoral zone is already
significantly marginalized by the lake's fluctua ng water levels. Powerboats also provide
some oxygenation of surface waters, although tJo
extent is probably negligible at best.
Overall,the indirect effects of powerboat usagen Lake Cushman is likely insignificant
due to the lake's large size,the small number oboats that access the remote lake, and the
short boating season (primarily May thru Septeber).
3) When waves reflect off shoreline armoring si ructures,particularly concrete or other
types of flat-faced bulkheads,they can cause sc wring and hardening of the substrate and
steepening of the beach. The sediment in front f a bulkhead will gradually become
coarser as wave action and littoral drift remove the finer sediment and there is no
sediment available for replenishment because it is impounded behind the bulkhead
(Macdonald et al. 1994). Hard-armored bulkhez ds cut off sediment that was once
available to feed the beach,thus adversely affec ing natural beach-forming processes.
The shoreline at the site is already unnaturally s eep due to the lake's manmade origin.
Accordingly, the steepness has caused significa it scouring and erosion, as there is no
shallow foreshore to diminish the energy from 'icoming wind waves. Any beach feeding
sediments are carried away to deeper water.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 23
The shoreline at the site is already fully bulkheaded. The concrete bulkhead's new
(replacement)toe is not expected to result in worse scouring at the site than the original
toe. The proposed twenty-foot rock and mortar section will fill a gap that is currently
occupied by the failed boat ramp. The proposed rock and mortar bulkhead section is not
expected to alleviate or increase scouring and steepening of the beach. The proposed pier,
ramp, and floats will be located just waterward of the bulkhead and will help to diminish
the energy from incoming waves.
4) Shoreline armoring can also limit the accumulation of large drift logs on the beach, as
large woody debris is less likely to accumulate on beaches that have steepened due to the
presence of a bulkhead(Macdonald et al. 1994). Large woody debris(LWD)provide
detrital input, food sources, and potential refuge for migrating juvenile salmon. Due to
the large number of power boats that utilize the lake in the vicinity of the proposed
project site, it is not safe to recommend anchoring LWD to the beach.Nor is it allowed
by Tacoma Power. In addition,there are numerous existing stumps on the lakebed.
6.5 Primary Constituent Elements
PRIMARY CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS
The indirect effects on the designated critical habitat of bull trout and Puget Sound
Chinook have been analyzed using the appropriate PCEs for the nearshore fluvial
environment.
BULL TROUT PCEs:
Water temperatures that support bull trout use. Bull trout have been documented in
streams with temperatures from 32 to 72 degrees F but are found more frequently in
temperatures ranging from 36 to 59 degrees F--the project will have no indirect effect
on water temperatures that support bull trout use.
Migratory corridors with minimal physical, biological, or water quality impediments
between spawning, rearing, overwintering, and foraging habitats, including
intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by high water temperatures or low flows—
increased motorized boat usage may prompt bull trout to avoid the project area.
An abundant food base including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin, aquatic
macroinvertebrates, and forage fish--the project will have no indirect effect on the bull
trout's food base.
Permanent water of sufficient quantity and quality such that normal reproduction,
growth, and survival are not inhibited--the project will have no indirect effect on the
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 24
water quantity and a negligible effect on qualit3, providing proposed BMPs are adhered
to.
CHINOOK SALMON PCEs:
Unobstructed passage—increased motorized b at usage may prompt Chinook salmon to
avoid the project area.
Water Quality—the project will have no indire4 t effect on the water quantity and a
negligible effect on quality,providing proposed BMPs are adhered to.
Water Quantity—the project will have no indir ct effect on water quantity.
Forage—the project will have no indirect effec on foraging opportunities for Chinook.
Natural Cover the project will have no indire 't effect on natural cover.
6.6 Indirect Effects to ESA Listed Species
The indirect effects from the proposed project A other ESA listed species that are likely
to be found in the action area have been analyze as follows:
NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL &MARBLED VIURRELET
While it is highly unlikely that either species w ld nest in trees that are located in a rural
neighborhood, the proposed project may result 'i increased recreational usage at the site,
which could prompt both species to nest elsewh re.
6.7Interrelated/Interdependent fects
Interrelated and interdependent effects are descr bed as the effects of the action under
consultation analyzed together with the effects c f other activities that are interrelated to,
or interdependent with,that action. An interrel ed activity is an activity that is part of
the proposed action and depends on the propose action for its justification. An
interdependent activity is an activity that has no ndependent utility apart from the action
under consultation(FWS &NMFS 1998). It is ssible that the applicant's will purchase
a motorized boat that they would not otherwise urchase without a new pier, ramp, and
floats, but it is also possible that the applicant's lready own a motorized boat or will not
buy one.
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 25
6.8 Primary Constituent Elements
BULL TROUT PCEs:
Water temperatures that support bull trout use. Bull trout have been documented in
streams with temperatures from 32 to 72 degrees F but are found more frequently in
temperatures ranging from 36 to 59 degrees F--the project will have no interrelated or
interdependent effects on water temperatures that support bull trout use.
Migratory corridors with minimal physical, biological, or water quality impediments
between spawning,rearing, overwintering, and foraging habitats, including
intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by high water temperatures or low flows—the
project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on migratory corridors that
support bull trout use.
An abundant food base including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin, aquatic
macroinvertebrates, and forage fish--the project will have no interrelated or
interdependent effects on the bull trout's food base.
Permanent water of sufficient quantity and quality such that normal reproduction,
growth, and survival are not inhibited--the project will have no interrelated or
interdependent effects on water supply or quality.
CHINOOK SALMON PCEs:
Unobstructed passage—the project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on
unobstructed passage.
Water Quality—the project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on
unobstructed passage.
Water Quantity the project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on water
quantity.
Forage the project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on water quantity.
Natural Cover—the project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on natural cover.
6.9 Cumulative Effects
Cumulative effects are defined as"those effects of future state or private activities,not
involving Federal activities,that are reasonably certain to occur within the action area of
the action subject to consultation"(50 CFR 402.02). Cumulative impacts are difficult to
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 26
access. Continued growth and urbanization is li ely to detrimentally impact fish and
wildlife resources. Global warming could raise e water level of Puget Sound, leaving
many waterfront properties underwater. Global arming could also result in warmer
water temperatures,to the detriment of species ch as bull trout.Additionally, over-
fishing may deplete stocks of salmon, even as r toration of habitat in the watershed
furthers their likelihood of survival.
7.0 Conclusion
7.1 Take Analysis
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits take of endange d or threatened species, "take"being
defined in Section 3 as to harass,harm, pursue, iunt, shoot,wound,trap, capture, or
collect listed species, or attempt to engage in an such conduct. "Harm"is further defined
as a significant habitat modification or degradat on that actually kills or injures listed
species by"significantly impairing behavioral tterns such as breeding, spawning,
rearing, migrating, feeding, and sheltering" (50 FR 222.102). "Harass" is further
defined as an intentional or negligent act which reates the likelihood of injury to wildlife
by annoying it to such an extent as to significan ly disrupt normal behavior patterns
which include, but are not limited to, breeding, eding, or sheltering(50 CFR 17.3). In
regards to the proposed project and the existing evelopment activities, it is extremely
unlikely that any"take"will occur. Previously 1 sted conservation measures will further
insure the likelihood that no"take"will occur.
7.2 Determination of Effect
A determination of May affect, not likely to adv rsely affect is the appropriate conclusion
when effects on the species or their critical habi at are expected to be beneficial,
discountable, or insignificant. After reviewing t e appropriate data and survey
information, I have concluded that the proposed project will have an insignificant impact
on the previously discussed Endangered or Thr tened species if the previously discussed
conservation measures are implemented. In my nost honest and professional opinion,
while the proposed project may impact individu il Endangered or Threatened species in
the project area, it is not likely to adversely affe t or jeopardize the continued existence
of those species or their designated Critical Ha tat. The determination of effect for each
of the listed species is:
1. Bull trout and their designated Critical I abitat May affect, not likely to
adversely affect.
2. Chinook salmon--May affect, not likely, adversely affect.
3. Marbled murrelet—May affect, not like y to adversely affect.
4. Northern spotted owl—May affect, not Rely to adversely affect.
5. Streaked horned lark---No effect.
6. Yellow-billed cuckoo—No effect.

Essential Fish Habit Assessment
Essential Fish Habitat Assessment
A. Background
The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act was signed into law on April
13, 1976. Under provisions of the Act, eight Regional Fishery Management Councils
were established to prepare FMP's in conformance with national standards published in
50 CFR Part 600.305-340. The Magnuson Act was renamed the Magnuson-Stevens Act
in a 1996 appropriations bill. On October 11, 1996,the Sustainable Fisheries Act,which
amended the Magnuson-Stevens Act,was signed into law. Provisions included a mandate
that the Councils amend each IMP to include a description of Essential Fish Habitat,
including adverse impacts on EFH and conservation measures to protect EFH. Essential
Fish Habitat is defined as those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning,
breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity.
The Pacific Fisheries Management Council has designated EFH for federally-managed
species on the Pacific West Coast, including 82 species of groundfish, 5 coastal pelagic
species, and 3 species of salmon. The following species may occur in Lake Cushman
during some period of their life history: Chinook salmon(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
and Coho salmon(Oncorhynchus kisutch).
B. Essential Fish Habitat
The designated EFH for Pacific salmon species is identified using U.S. Geological
Survey(USGS)hydrologic units as well as habitat association tables and life history
descriptions of each life stage(PFMC 1999). The EFH for the Pacific coast salmon
fishery is defined as those waters and substrate necessary for salmon production needed
to support a long-term sustainable salmon fishery and salmon contributions to a healthy
ecosystem (WSDOT 2014).To achieve that level of production, EFH must include all
those streams, lakes,ponds,wetlands, and other currently viable water bodies and most
of the habitat historically accessible to salmon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
California(WSDOT 2014). This does not include habitats above the impassible barriers
identified by the Pacific Fishery Management Council Fishery Management Plan(PFMC
1999).
Gallimore Biological Evaluation 44
C. Proposed Action
The proposed project is the repair of an existing concrete bulkhead's footing, the
installation of a buoy,the construction of a repl cement pier,ramp, and float,the removal
of an existing boat ramp, and the repair of a twe ity-foot rock and mortar bulkhead
section on Lake Cushman.
D. Effects of the Proposed Action
The effects of the proposed project on designatt d EFH are expected to be comparable to
the effects described in the attached BE.
E. Conservation Measures
The conservation measures and BMPs discusse in the attached BE will be implemented
to minimize any adverse effects to Essential Fi Habitat.
F. Conclusion
The proposed project is likely to have no signif ant impact on designated EFH for
Pacific salmon.

SUBJECT: Gallimore Land Use Application on Tacoma Power Property
Dear Ms. Adkins:
The City of Tacoma, Department of Public Utilities, Light Division (Tacoma Power)was recently
notified of an application to Mason County by Kimber Construction, Inc. to permit existing
shoreline structures located on Tacoma Power's property at Lake Cushman. The Gallimore
Family Trust currently sub-leases the adjacent property(Mason County Parcel Nos. 42307-50-
00023 and 42307-50-00024)which are also owned by Tacoma Power and leased to the Lake
Cushman Development Company. Tacoma Power has received and reviewed an application
from Kimber Construction on behalf of the Gallimore Family Trust seeking to permit existing and
new shoreline structures associated with these lots.
Tacoma Power has no objection to the proposed action and authorizes Mason County to permit
the existing and proposed new structures on Tacoma Power's property as conveyed to Tacoma
Power in their application to us and subsequent communication regarding these structures.
Tacoma Power will issue a permit for the structures after they are permitted by Mason County.
Please contact me at 253-502-8782 or bforrestCcDci.!pcoma.wa.us if you have any questions or
need something more regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
G„-
