You can provide more detail in 6b. hei The proposed action is the repair of an existing concrete bulkhead and the replacement of an existing pier, ladder, and float.Also, an existing firepit will be reconstructed to meet Mason County's code and electric lights and wiring will be removed from the shoreline below the 742' elevation. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it.;, [hey The applicant's existing bulkhead, and pier and float are old and in need of repair and replacement. The applicant wishes to extend the life of the existing structures, while at the same time making them safer for both humans and the environment. Therefore, the project objective is to repair and replace the existing shoreline appurtenances while avoiding or minimizing impacts to ESA-listed species and improving shoreline habitat at the site. Additionally, the existing shoreline appurtenances are common to shoreline properties on Lake Cushman; however, they were installed without the proper permits from Mason County. The applicants were unaware that permits were mandatory and want to bring their property into compliance by obtaining all the required regulatory permits. To this end, permits will be procured from the following agencies: Mason County, the Washington Department of Fish &Wildlife (WDFW), Tacoma Power, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Washington Department of Fish &Wildlife does not issue after-the-fact permits, but an HPA(hydraulic permit application) will be required for the proposed action. 6c.

Describe how you plan to construct each project elerr ant checked in 6d. Include specific construction methods and equipment to be used. [help] • Identify where each element will occur in relation to the neare waterbody. • Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain. As per the engineered design by C &C Engineering, LLC., the existing, approx. 84' concrete bulkhead will have the length of its failing footing repaired by reinforcing it with new concrete and rebar. The area fronting the existing footing will be excavated to a maximum depth of approx. two feet. The repaired footing will be approx. 4' in height and twelve inches in width. Concrete for the bulkhead will be poured via a concrete pump truck. The existing overwater structure will be removed and replaced with a five by thirty-foot (5' x 30') pier and a ten by fifteen-foot(10' x 15') float. The pier will be attached to the concrete bulkhead with metal hardware (face mount hangers) and supported by six (6)ten-inch (10") composite pier piles encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. The float will be constructed of all metal framing that will contain twelve flotation billets. The float will utilize ten-inch (1011) composite float positioning pilings. The pilings will be encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. A six inch by fifteen-foot(6" x 15') galvanized steel pipe attached to the most waterward float piles with lag bolts will serve as a landing cradle. The cradle will rest on a concrete stem wall with a minimum lakebed clearance of eighteen inches (18") during the low water season. A vertical metal ladder will provide access between the pier and float. All concrete for the pier and float will be hand-mixed per engineered drawings and poured in place. The pier and float will be constructed of galvanized steel or stainless steel hardware, and composite lumber,joists, decking, and trim. The float will be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats. The decking of the pier and float will have grating installed (fifty percent total with 60 percent light passage, as per the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW] stipulations). The total overwater coverage at the site will be 300 square feet. All piling holes will be four to six feet(4' to 6') deep, two feet(2')wide, and filled with concrete and rebar. No pressure treated lumber will be used in this project. All overwater structures will be grated with ThruFlow decking panels, which are made of reinforc d polypropylene, contain no toxic preservatives, and are recyclable. A circular saw and various hand tools will be used th ughout the proposed project. All workers, equipment, debris, and materials (with the exception of the float, which may be constructed off-site and transported by boat when the lake's waters are high) will be transported to and from the site in cars or trucks. Geo-textile fabric will be spread over the dry lakebed before commencement of project construction in order to contain any manmade construction debris.At the completion of construction, the geo-textile fabric will be removed from the shoreline at the site, along with all construction debris and other existing manmade debris. All debris will be disposed of at a licensed landfill or other licensed disposal site. All activities are within the 100-year flood plain. The nearest waterbody is Lake Cushman. 6f.

[hei The proposed action is the replacement of an existing concrete bulkhead and a pier, ladder, and float. Also, an existing firepit will be reconstructed to meet Mason County's code and electric lights and wiring will be removed from the shoreline below the 742' elevation. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want r need to perform it. [t7el The applicant's existing bulkhead, and pier and float are old and in need of replacement. The applicant wishes to install more functional structures that are safer for both humans and the environment. Therefore, the project objective is to replace the existing shoreline appurtenances while avoiding or minimizing impacts to ESA-listed species and improving shoreline habitat at the site. Additionally, the existing shoreline appurtenances are common to shoreline properties on Lake Cushman; however, they were installed without the proper permits from Mason County. The applicants were unaware that permits were mandatory and want to bring their property into compliance by obtaining all the required regulatory permits. To this end, permits will be procured from the following agencies: Mason County, the Washington Department of Fish &Wildlife(WDFW), Tacoma Power, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Washington Department of Fish &Wildlife does not issue after-the-fact permits, but an HPA(hydraulic permit application)will be required for the proposed action. 6c. Indicate the project category.

I As per the engineered design by MET Engineering, PLLC., the existing, approx. 55' concrete bulkhead will be replaced with a new concrete bulkhead in the footprint of the existing. The replacement bulkhead will have a total of height of 8' (approx. 6' above grade) and a width of twelve inches. Concrete for the bulkhead will be poured via a concrete pump truck. Associated engineered drainage will also be installed (See MET Engineering, PLLC 12-16-18 Engineered Drainage Plan for Replacement Bulkhead located at 281 N Potlatch Dr). The existing overwater structure will be removed and replaced with a five by thirty-foot(5' x 30') pier and a ten by fifteen-foot(10' x 15')float. The pier will be attached to the concrete bulkhead with metal hardware(face mount hangers) and supported by six(6)ten-inch (loll) composite pier piles encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. The float will be constructed of all metal framing that will contain twelve flotation billets. The float will utilize ten-inch (loll) composite float positioning pilings. The pilings will be encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. A six inch by fifteen-foot(6" x 15') galvanized steel pipe attached to the most waterward float piles with lag bolts will serve as a landing cradle. The cradle will rest on a concrete stem wall with a minimum lakebed clearance of eighteen inches (18") during the low water season. A vertical metal ladder will provide access between the pier and float. All concrete for the pier and float will be hand-mixed per engineered drawings and poured in place. The pier and float will be constructed of galvanized steel or stainless steel hardware, and composite lumber,joists, decking, and trim. The float will be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats. The decking of the pier and float will have grating installed (fifty percent total with 60 percent light passage, as per the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW] stipulations). The total overwater coverage at the site will be 300 square feet. All piling holes will be four to six feet(4' to 6') deep, two feet(2')wide, and filled with concrete and rebar. No pressure treated lumber will be used in this project. All overwater structures will be grated with ThruFlow decking panels, which are made of reinforced polypropylene, contain no toxic preservatives, and are recyclable. A circular saw and various hand tools will be used throughout the proposed project. All workers, equipment, debris, and materials (with the exception of the float, which may be constructed off-site and transported by boat when the lake's waters are high)will be transported to and from the site in cars or trucks. Geo-textile fabric will be spread over the dry lakebed before commencement of project construction in order to contain any manmade construction debris.At the completion of construction, the geo-textile fabric will be removed from the shoreline at the site, along with all construction debris and other existing manmade debris. All debris will be disposed of at a licensed landfill or other licensed disposal site. All activities are within the 100-year flood plain. The nearest waterbody is Lake Cushman. 6f.

As per the engineered design by C &C Engineering, LLC., the existing, approx. 84' concrete bulkhead will have the length of its failing footing repaired by reinforcing it with new concrete and rebar. The area fronting the existing footing will be excavated to a maximum depth of approx. two feet. The repaired footing will be approx. 4' in height and twelve inches in width. Concrete for the bulkhead will be poured via a concrete pump truck. The existing overwater structure will be removed and replaced with a five by thirty-foot(5' x 30') pier and a ten by fifteen-foot(10' x 15') float. The pier will be attached to the concrete bulkhead with metal hardware (face mount hangers) and supported by six(6)ten-inch (10") composite pier piles encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. The float will be constructed of all metal framing that will contain twelve flotation billets. The float will utilize ten-inch (10") composite float positioning pilings. The pilings will be encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. A six inch by fifteen-foot(6" x 15') galvanized steel pipe attached to the most waterward float piles with lag bolts will serve as a landing cradle. The cradle will rest on a concrete stem wall with a minimum lakebed clearance of eighteen inches (18") during the low water season. A vertical metal ladder will provide access between the pier and float. All concrete for the pier and float will be hand-mixed per engineered drawings and poured in place. The pier and float will be constructed of galvanized steel or stainless steel hardware, and composite lumber,joists, decking, and trim. The float will be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®floats. The decking of the pier and float will have grating installed (fifty percent total with 60 percent light passage, as per the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW] stipulations). The total overwater coverage at the site will be 300 square feet. All piling holes will be four to six feet(4' to 6') deep, two feet(2')wide, and filled with concrete and rebar. No pressure treated lumber will be used in this project. All overwater structures will be grated with ThruFlow decking panels, which are made of reinforced polypropylene, contain no toxic preservatives, and are recyclable. A circular saw and various hand tools will be used throughout the proposed project. All workers, equipment, debris, and materials (with the exception of the float, which may be constructed off-site and transported by boat when the lake's waters are high)will be transported to and from the site in cars or trucks. Geo- textile fabric will be spread over the dry lakebed before commencement of project construction in order to contain any manmade construction debris. At the completion of construction,the geo-textile fabric will be removed from the shoreline at the site, along with all construction debris and other existing manmade debris. All debris will be disposed of at a licensed landfill or other licensed disposal site. Electrical lighting located just landward of the bulkhead and some sort of weather measuring device on the pier will be removed from Tacoma Power's shoreline zone (10' landward of lakebed elevation 742'). The electrical poles will remain in MASON COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 3 place but the electrical wires will be disconnected and capped. Also, an existing firepit will be reconstructed to meet Mason County's code. All activities are within the 100-year flood plain. The nearest waterbody is Lake Cushman. 12.

Mitigation for the proposed project will include ownsizing the footprint of the replacement pier and float structures,which will result in a reduction of overwater coverage of 311 square feet(4).The replacemer L pier and float will be grated(the existing are ungrated), and a jet ski ramp and apl roximately(approx.) six to eight cubic yards of concrete resting on the lakebed will be Dmoved from the site. 1.1Background The proposed project site is located in Mason C unty at 281 N Potlatch Drive North, Hoodsport Washington(Attachment 1).The M on County tax parcel number is 42307- 50-00026.The property is located in Section 07 Township 23N,Range 04 of the Western Meridian. The latitude is 47.49317 nor h, and the longitude is-123.24995 west. The proposed project site is on Lake Cushman i i the Skokomish/Dosewallips Water Resource Inventory Area 16 (WRIA 16) on a s reline designated Urban Residential by the Shoreline Master Program of Mason Countle Lake Cushman is regulated under the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and Mason County Resource Ordinance as a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areahe Shoreline Management Act of 1971 designated Lake Cushman as a Shoreline of Stwide Significance. In addition,Lake Cushman is regulated by Tacoma Public Utiliti s (aka Tacoma Power),which has designated Shoreline Management Classificati (SMC)zones.The proposed project site is located in an SMC zone classified as"A."T -oma Power defines the"A"management classification as shoreline areas with no known significant environmental/cultural resources or associated resource management als precluding existing or future shoreline uses;this classification acknowledge existing private uses and anticipates potential future private and light commercials oreline uses(Kleinschmidt 2012). The proposed project site is located in a rural ighborhood on a small shoreline lot, which supports a single-family residence lcat d approx. sixty feet(60')horizontally and twenty feet(20')vertically from the shoreline f Lake Cushman.Existing shoreline appurtenances(Attachments 4-5) include an a rox. eighty-four-foot(84') concrete bulkhead with lakebed access steps, an approx twenty-eight by twelve-foot(28' x 125) pier, an approx.twenty by twelve-foot(20' x ') float with an approx. seven by five- footfive- foot(7' x 5')jet ski ramp, a vertical metal la er between the pier and float, a concrete 3 Roush-Biological Evaluation paver fire pit, and an approx. twenty by three-foot(20' x 3') concrete walkway on the lakebed. 1.2 Project Need and Objectives The applicants' existing pier and float are old and in need of repair and replacement. The applicants wish to extend the life of the existing overwater structures, while at the same time making them safer for both humans and the environment. Therefore, the project objective is to repair and replace the existing shoreline appurtenances while avoiding or minimizing impacts to ESA-listed species and improving shoreline habitat at the site. Additionally,the existing shoreline appurtenances are common to shoreline properties on Lake Cushman;however, they were installed without the proper permits from Mason County. The applicants were unaware that permits were mandatory and want to bring their property into compliance by obtaining all the required regulatory permits. To this end,permits will be procured from the following agencies: Mason County, the Washington Department of Fish& Wildlife(WDFW), Tacoma Power, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers(USACE). The Washington Department of Fish& Wildlife does not issue after-the-fact permits, but an HPA(hydraulic permit application) will be required for the proposed action. 2.0 Project Description As per the engineered design by C&C Engineering, LLC. (Attachments 2-3), the existing, approx. 84' concrete bulkhead will have the length of its failing footing repaired by reinforcing it with new concrete and rebar. The area fronting the existing footing will be excavated to a maximum depth of approx. two feet. The repaired footing will be approx.4' in height and twelve inches in width. Concrete for the bulkhead will be poured via a concrete pump truck. The existing overwater structure will be removed and replaced with a five by thirty-foot (5' x 30')pier and a ten by fifteen-foot(10' x 15') float. The pier will be attached to the concrete bulkhead with metal hardware(face mount hangers)and supported by six(6) ten-inch(10") composite pier piles encased in concrete and set in 18" diameter sono tubes. The float will be constructed of all metal framing that will contain twelve flotation billets. The float will utilize ten-inch (10") composite float positioning pilings. The pilings will be encased in concrete and set in 18"diameter sono tubes.A six inch by fifteen-foot(6"x 15')galvanized steel pipe attached to the most waterward float piles with lag bolts will serve as a landing cradle. The cradle will rest on a concrete stem wall with a minimum lakebed clearance of eighteen inches (18") during the low water season. A vertical metal ladder will provide access between the pier and float.All concrete for the pier and float will be hand-mixed per engineered drawings and poured in place. Roush Biological Evaluation 4 a. The pier and float will be constructed of galvaniz d steel or stainless steel hardware, and composite lumber,joists, decking, and trim.The i loat will be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®floats.The decking of he pier and float will have grating installed(fifty percent total with 60 percent light assage, as per the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW] stipul tions).The total overwater coverage at the site will be 300 square feet. All piling holes will be four to six feet(4' to 6') eep,two feet(2')wide, and filled with concrete and rebar.No pressure treated lumber 11 be used in this project. All overwater structures will be grated with ThruFlow decking anels,which are made of reinforced polypropylene, contain no toxic preservatives, ar I are recyclable. A circular saw and various hand tools will be us throughout the proposed project. All workers, equipment, debris, and materials(with e exception of the float,which may be constructed off-site and transported by boat whe the Jake's waters are high)will be transported to and from the site in cars or trucks. Geo-textile fabric will be spread over the dry lakebed before commencement of projec construction in order to contain any manmade construction debris.At the completior of construction,the geo-textile fabric will be removed from the shoreline at the site, a ng with all construction debris and other existing manmade debris.All debris will disposed of at a licensed landfill or other licensed disposal site. 2.1 Project Activities Demolition of the Pier, Float, & Jet Ski Ramp The existing pier, float, and jet ski ramp will be disassembled and removed from the site. All nine existing pilings and associated concret footings will be removed. The footings will be excavated using hand tools and the holei refilled with the excavated lakebed sediments. Excavation of the Bulkhead& Piling otings Due to the difficulty of accessing the site with I ieavy machinery, it will be necessary to manually excavate substrate material for the b khead repair and the piling footings.The bulkhead footing will be a maximum of two fe t(2') deep and twelve inches(12")wide; piling holes will four to six feet(4' to 6') deep ind two feet(2')wide.A small amount of excavated substrate material will be stockpiled on the shoreline and will later be spread along the new toe to fill in any depressions lefi by the removal of the forms. The majority of the excavated material will be removed fror k the shoreline at the site, as per Tacoma Power's rules and regulations. Roush Biological Evaluation 5 Construction of the Bulkhead Footing Forms and Pouring of the Bulkhead& Pilings The bulkhead footing forms will be constructed using untreated lumber,hardware, and hand tools. Concrete for the bulkhead and piling footings will be poured at the same time. Concrete will be delivered via a concrete pump truck for the bulkhead; concrete for the pilings will be hand mixed on site and poured in place. Before concrete is poured, rebar will be installed in the bulkhead forms, and the composite pilings and rebar will be positioned in the piling holes.After the concrete has cured, the wood forms for the bulkhead will be removed from the site. Pier& Float Construction The pier and float replacement will be constructed of metal framing, galvanized steel or stainless steel hardware, and composite decking and trim. The new float will be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats. The float may be constructed on site or off site and delivered to the site by boat. The new vertical metal ladder will be installed between the pier and the float, using galvanized hardware.At the completion of construction and installation, the geo-textile fabric will be removed from the shoreline at the site, along with all construction debris and other existing manmade debris.All debris will be disposed of at a licensed landfill or other licensed disposal site. 2.2 Timing Work will be completed 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, which is generally between October and April. 2.3 Conservation Measures 1. No construction to occur unless Lake Cushman's waters are low. 2. No new pressure treated lumber will be used in this project. alaska 3. Overwater coverage at the site to be reduced by 311 square feet. 4. Construction to take place as per the HPA provisions from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Roush Biological Evaluation 6 5. The decking of the pier and float will ave grating installed(fifty percent total with 60 percent light passage). 6. Previously discussed BMPs to be stric ly adhered to. 7. Approximately 6 to 8 cubic yards of e cisting concrete on the lakebed will be removed from the site. 2.4 Best Management Practices In order to maintain the present water quality of ake Cushman during project construction,Best Management Practices (BMP will be implemented.BMPs are defined as physical, structural, and/or manageria practices that prevent or reduce the pollution of water(WDOE). The following sour, e control BMPs,which are detailed in the WDOE's Stormwater Management ManualJ9r Western Washington, Volume II Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention 012),will be implemented for long-term protection of water quality at the site: BMP C101: Preserving Natural Vegetation Wherever practical,native vegetation shall be p eserved to reduce erosion.Natural vegetation should be preserved on steep slopes, ear perennial and intermittent watercourses or swales, and on building sites in wooded areas. BMP C154: Concrete Washout Area Purpose:Prevent or reduce the discharge of po lutants to stormwater from concrete waste by conducting washout off-site, or performing n-site washout in a designated area to prevent pollutants from entering surface water or ground water. Conditions of Use:Concrete washout area be management practices are implemented on construction projects where: •Concrete is used as a construction materi •It is not possible to dispose of all concrete wastewater and washout off-site(ready mix plant, etc.). •Concrete trucks, pumpers, or other concr e coated equipment are washed on-site. *Note: If less than 10 concrete trucks or p pers need to be washed out on-site,the wash water maybe disposed of in a fo ed area awaiting concrete or an upland disposal site where it will not contami to surface or ground water.The upland disposal site shall be at least 50 feet fr sensitive areas such as storm drains, open ditches, or water bodies, includin wetlands. 7 Roush Biological Evaluation •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. BMP C151: Concrete Handling Purpose: Concrete work can generate process water and slurry that contain fine particles and high pH, both of which can violate water quality standards in the receiving water. Concrete spillage or concrete discharge to surface waters of the State is prohibited. Use this BMP to minimize and eliminate concrete, concrete process water, and concrete slurry from entering waters of the state. Conditions of Use:Any time concrete is used, utilize these management practices. *Wash out concrete truck chutes,pumps, and internals into formed areas only.Assure that washout of concrete trucks is performed offsite or in designated concrete washout areas. DO not wash out concrete trucks onto the ground, or into storm drains, open ditches, streets, or streams. •Return unused concrete remaining in the truck 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 limited 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 as concrete aggregate driveways,to drain directly to natural or constructed stormwater conveyances(or Puget Sound). •Contain washwater and leftover product in a lined container when no formed areas are available. Dispose of contained concrete in a manner that does not violate ground water or surface water quality standards. *Always use forms or solid barriers for concrete pours, such a pilings, within 15-feet of surface waters. BMP C233: Silt Fence Silt fence may be used downslope of all disturbed areas. Silt fence shall prevent soil carried by runoff water from going beneath,through, or over the top of the silt fence but shall allow the water to pass through the fence. Roush Biological Evaluation 8 The following additional BMP shall be used to insure that water quality is not degraded during and after construction: 1. Equipment will be cleaned and checked ( r leaks, offsite and daily,before commencing work. In addition,the following Spill Prevention Contr 1 measures will also be followed: 1)the applicant will supply the site with a portable bat oom or allow workers access to an onsite bathroom so that solid or liquid waste will not become a source of stormwater pollution. 2)The applicant will be responsible f r alerting the appropriate authorities in the event of a hazardous spill. 3)The applicant ill have a spill kit and be able to perform basic control, containment, and/or confi ement operations within the capabilities of the resources and personnel protective equip nt available. In other words, small spills, such as paint or oil,will be promptly and lly collected and disposed of at a suitable disposal site. In the event of a significan spill, a fish kill, and/or if fish are observed in distress the Washington State Depar ment of Ecology(800.258.5990)and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildl e's Area Habitat Biologist, Joshua Benton(360.602.0364),will be notified immediately. 3.0 Action Area The action area is located on the shoreline of Law Cushman at the proposed project site. Besides the proposed project location,the actiot area includes the surrounding area within a designated distance from the site in or r to account for construction impacts that may affect species listed under the Endangred Species Act by the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fishe ies Service as either endangered or threatened. The limits of the action area are bas d upon the geographic extent(in both aquatic and terrestrial environments) of the phy ical, chemical, and biological effects resulting from the proposed action, including d ect and indirect effects, as well as effects of interrelated and interdependent activities(W DOT 2010).Turbidity and noise are expected to be the most detrimental project eff ts. Because work will occur when Lake Cushman is lowered, project turbidity is expect d to be no greater than turbidity that is common to the area during heavy rains,when rious ephemeral and perennial streams and the north fork of the Skokomish River dis arge sediment laden water into Lake Cushman. It is probable that the project's dista ce from the lake's lowered shoreline will be great enough that disturbed sediments will sperse gradually(via precipitation)over the exposed lakebed without ever reaching wa r until the lake is raised. Additionally,the excavation required to remove the nine pilings nd 6 to 8 cu/yds of concrete is expected to be minimal.Therefore,terrestrial noise is e ected to be the most far-reaching effect from the proposed project. The action area for terrestrial noise effects is b tsed upon an ambient sound level of 40 dBA for an area with a population of less than 100 people per mile(WSDOT 2010). In addition,the Olympic National Forest progran matic biological assessment uses an 9 Roush-Biological Evaluation estimated ambient level of 40 dBA for undisturbed forested areas(USDI 2003). Noise frequency and levels for the repair of the existing pier, the construction of the replacement float(if it is conducted on site), and the demolition of the pier frame and deck,the float, and jet ski ramp is expected to be short term and moderate, as the contractor will be using hand tools such as a skill saw. The sawing of the lumber is expected to produce the proposed project's maximum noise level. The noise level of a circular saw at fifty feet was determined as follows: The noise level at 50 feet from a chain saw is 84 dBA(WSDOT 2014). The noise level of a chain saw at three feet is 110 dBA,while a circular saw is 100 dBA.Assuming that a chain saw is between approx. five and ten percent noisier than a circular saw, the noise level of a circular saw at fifty feet was assigned 79 dBA. To determine the distance that the proposed project's maximum point source construction noise will travel before it attenuates to the ambient sound level;the following Practical Spreading Loss Model equation was used: D=Do * 10((Construction Noise—Ambient Sound Level in dBA)/u) Where D=the distance from the noise&Do=the reference measurement distance of 50'. Average construction noise from the proposed project will travel approx. 3,970 feet over hard site conditions(Lake Cushman) and 1,656 feet over soft site conditions(forested areas)before it(the noise) attenuates to the ambient sound level. Therefore, the extent of the action area is 3,970 feet or 0.75 mi. over the lake's surface and 1,656 feet or 0.31 mi. inland from the proposed project site and adjacent shorelines (Attachment 1). In addition,the action area includes several unnamed fish-bearing streams that are located approx. approx. 0.11, 0.41, 0.80 mi.to the southeast of the site.Numerous ephemeral streams are located throughout the action area. 4.0 ESA Species and Habitat Information In the proposed project area, there are five species listed under the Endangered Species Act by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) as either threatened or endangered. The bull trout(Salvelinus confluentus), marbled murrelet(Brachyramphus marmoratus), northern spotted owl(Stridex occidentalis), streaked horned lark(Eremophila alpestris strigata), and yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) are listed as threatened and critical habitat has been designated for the former four species. The project area is located on Lake Cushman, which has been designated critical habitat for the bull trout. Two other species in the project area are listed as proposed. The fisher(Mantes pennanti) is listed as proposed threatened, and the Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) is listed as proposed under the ESA "similarity of appearance"provision. 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 a Roush Biological Evaluation 10 candidate species.The Puget Sound Chinook saln on(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is listed as threatened and critical habitat has been d signated.Lake Cushman is a historical watershed of the Chinook that has been anthropo nically blocked;however, it has been designated critical habitat. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlif (WDFW)GIS maps reveal the documented presence of two other species of saIr ionids on the State's Priority Habitat and Species list within the action area: Kokanee ncorhynchus nerka) and the Puget Sound/Coastal cutthroat trout(Oncorhynchus cl ki clarki).The presence of these two species has been documented in Lake Cushman. FW data reveals that Lake Cushman was stocked with 23,896 cutthroat trout in 2005 d 205,800 Kokanee (landlocked sockeye salmon) in 2004.A WDFW biologist rel orted that other species that inhabit the lake include rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykis and non-native largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Additionally,Tacoma Power is presently worki in association with the Skokomish Tribe and the WDFW to reestablish migrating s monid runs in the North fork of the Skokomish River.The North Fork Skokomish P werhouse and Fish Facility has recently been completed.This facility collects adult fish the base of Cushman Dam No. 2 and transports them to the top of the dam for sorting It also provides sorting facilities for juvenile fish and transports them to the base oft e dam for release into the river.The fry will be released in Lake Cushman, and smolts 11 be collected and released into the lower North Fork Skokomish River.Returning ult sockeye will eventually be collected at the base of Cushman Dam No.2.Two new h cheries are also under construction, one on the Hood Canal at Potlatch for sockeye,the her on Lake Kokanee for Chinook, coho, and steelhead.Hatchery construction is pl nned to be complete in 2015 (Tacoma Public Utilities 2015). 4.1 ESA Listed Species BULL TROUT Bull trout are members of the char subgroup of he salmon family and are native to the Pacific Northwest and western Canada. Water t mperature above 15 degrees Celsius is believed to limit bull trout distribution, as eggs ind juveniles require extremely cold water for survival.Bull trout are also vulnerabl to degraded stream habitat,poor water quality, dams and other stream blocking structtes, and predation by non-native fish. Critical habitat includes Lake Cushman and thpper North Fork of the Skokomish River(70 FR 56304). Critical Habitat in the foer includes spawning and rearing habitat,while the latter provides rearing, forag , and migration habitat, so it is expected that bull trout may be found in the action areathe proposed project site. Roush Biological Evaluation 11 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 of potential nesting habitat as the main reason for hindrance of population recovery goals (WDFW 2012). Potential nest trees are coniferous trees within 55 mi (88.5 km)of marine waters that support at least one 4-inch(10.2-cm) diameter platform located at least 33 feet(10 meters)above the ground, with horizontal and vertical cover(USFWS 2012). If a tree or forested area does not support these habitat features, it is "extremely unlikely"to support a murrelet nest(USFWS 2012). Nest success is influenced by forest structure,the spatial mix of habitat and non-habitat,human disturbance,prey availability, and marine foraging conditions.Human disturbance can lead to higher predation levels by Steller's and gray jays, crows,ravens, and other species that seek human-related foods and refuse at high- use recreational areas(Peery et al. 2004, Marzluff 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 the proposed project's action area to the northwest of the project site; therefore, it must be assumed that marbled murrelets may be found nesting in the action area. State Route 119 is located between the project site, Lake Cushman, and the marbled murrelets critical habitat, so it is expected that any marbled murrelets nesting in the action area, will do so on the far side(north side) of the highway. Additionally, the proposed project will not result in the loss of any trees or other vegetation, and water quality at the site will be minimally impacted. NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL The Northern Spotted Owl is one of the largest owls in North America, and the average adult female is approx. 18 inches tall with a 48-inch wingspan.Northern spotted owls are strictly nocturnal, and require old-growth forests with multi-layered canopies of trees, including large trees with broken tops, deformed limbs, and large holes and cavities to nest in. The Northern spotted owl is very territorial and intolerant of habitat disturbance, and a pair requires a large amount of forest for hunting and nesting. Habitat loss has occurred as a result of forest conversion, timber harvest, fire, windthrow, insect outbreak and disease(WDFW 2012). The USFWS designated revised critical habitat for the northern spotted owl under the Endangered Species Act. In total, approx. 9,577,969 acres (ac) (3,876,064 hectares(ha)) in 11 units and 60 subunits in California, Oregon, and Washington fall within the boundaries of the 2 critical habitat designations. The action area includes designated critical habitat for the Northern spotted owl;however, due to the close proximity of Roush Biological Evaluation 12 human habitation, it is unlikely that any Northern potted owls may be found in the action area. Additionally,the proposed project will not r suit in the loss of any trees or shrubs. STREAKED HORNED LARK Horned larks are birds that utilize wide open spa s with no trees and few or no shrubs. The streaked horned lark nests on the ground in arsely vegetated sites dominated by grasses and shrubs. Historically this type of habit t was found in prairies in western Oregon and Washington, in dune habitats along t ie coast of Washington, on the sandy beaches and spits along the Columbia and Willa ette Rivers, and in grasslands,estuaries, and sandy beaches in British Columbia(WDFW 012).Today the streaked horned lark nests in a broad range of habitats, including nati prairies, coastal dunes, fallow and active agricultural fields,wetland mudflats, spar ly-vegetated edges of grass fields, recently planted Christmas tree farms with exten ive 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 R ver(WDFW 2012). It is expected that the action area contains unsui ble habitat for the streaked horned lark. YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO The yellow-billed cuckoo(Coccyzus americanu ) 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 wo dlands(USFWS 2014).Reports of individual cuckoos have been very rare in recen decades,with only three known reports since 2000,these being near Lind(Adams Co.) n 2001,near Eureka(Walla Walla Co.) in June 2007, and from Little Pend Oreille Nati nal Wildlife Refuge(Stevens Co.) in June 2012.Habitat loss and pesticide use are th ught to be two of the main causes for the precipitous decline of western yellow-billed cu oos.Agriculture, grazing, reservoir construction, flood control,urbanization, and ol ier factors across the West have caused the large-scale loss and degradation of lowland iparian forest,which is the cuckoo's primary habitat. It is expected that the action area contains unsu table habitat for the yellow-billed cuckoo. CHINOOK SALMON Chinook salmon in Lake Cushman are a land-1 cked population that originated from anadromous fish, although loss of genetic vari ion makes it difficult to determine whether they are descended from historical Ho d Canal populations or introduced hatchery fish(NOAA 2006).Lake Cushman C iinook are genetically different, smaller in size(and presumably less fecund)than theijadromous counterparts(Myers et al. 1998). On Jan. 12,2009,Tacoma Power,the Smish Tribal Nation and state and federal agencies signed a settlement agreement thatived a$5.8 billion damages claim and Roush Biological Evaluation 13 long-standing disputes over the terms of a long-term license for Cushman Hydroelectric Project. Tacoma Power has proposed to introduce sockeye and spring Chinook and enhance the existing winter steelhead and coho populations in the North Fork in cooperation with the WDFW and the Skokomish Tribe (Tacoma Public Utilities 2014). In addition, Tacoma Power will annually release up to 100,000 rainbow trout for sport harvest(TPU 2014). Lake Cushman has been designated Critical habitat, 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 Conditions 5.1 Action Area The environmental baseline represents the existing set of conditions, to which the effects of the proposed action are then added. The environmental baseline is defined as"the past and present impacts of all Federal, state, and private actions and other human activities in the action area, the anticipated impacts of all proposed 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 contemporaneous with the consultation process"(50 CFR 402.02). The proposed project site is in WRIA 16 (Water Resource Inventory Area), on Lake Cushman in Mason County. The majority of the fresh and marine waterbodies in WRIA 16 suffer from water quality issues; however Lake Cushman is not listed on the state's 2012 Water Quality 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies for any parameters. Two waterbodies in the Skokomish watershed,the South Fork of the Skokomish River and Lebar Creek are listed for the parameter of temperature(high). The current Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) approved Water Quality Assessment data for Washington State reveals that tissue samples from fish (various species, including salmonids) collected in Lake Cushman were tested for twenty(20)pesticides and other pollutants, including mercury,PCBs, DDT, Toxaphene, Lindane, Dieldrin, and Hexachlorobenzene. The twenty tested parameters(all)met the FTEC (fish tissue equivalent concentration) and received Category 1 water quality listings. The FTEC is the concentration of a contaminant in fish tissue that Washington equates to the National Toxics Rule water quality criterion for the protection of human health(WDOE 2016). Fish tissue data from the most recent year showed that the FTEC was met;therefore the Assessment Unit meets the requirements for a Category 1 determination(WDOE 2016). The water quality criterion for a Category 1 water quality listing is defined by the Washington Department of Ecology(WDOE), as: Meets tested standards,for clean waters:placement in this category does not necessarily mean that a water body is free of all pollutants. Most water quality monitoring is Roush Biological Evaluation 14 designed to detect a specific array of pollutants, placement in this category means that the water body met standards for all the pollutan for which it was tested. The proposed project site is located in a rural neil hborhood on a lot with approx. 84' of frontage on Lake Cushman, in an area classified s an Urban Residential shoreline environment by the Shoreline Master Program of Mason County.Neighboring parcels support single-family residences(or recreational abins),bulkheads, piers, and floats. Forested land in the vicinity of Lake Cushman ha 5 been logged heavily. Erosion impacts from surface flows have been particularly damag ng in the logged areas above the lake's west shore. Before the completion of two dams in 1926 and 930,Lake Cushman was a natural oligotrophic lake with a mean depth of 200 feet. ow Lake Cushman is 4,010-acre water body in the Olympic National Forest,having be altered in size to accommodate the hydroelectric dams.Because of the dams,water vels in Lake Cushman can fluctuate up to 21 meters(69 feet),with peak levels occurrin during summer and minimum levels during winter.The magnitude of these fluctuatio s results in periodic inundation of 12 hectares(30 acres)of land surrounding the inlet o the reservoir, resulting in high water temperatures in the shallow waters of the inlet daring the summer months (Brenkman 1998). Currently,the reservoir inundates 17.2 ki ometers(10.7 miles)of river, including areas of the original Lake Cushman(Brenkman 998). 5.2 Proposed Project Area A field investigation was conducted on the after oon of June 19th of 2016,during which the project area was surveyed visually on foot. The elevation of the lake's water level was approx. 736 feet,which is two feet lower than t e current ordinary high water mark of 738 feet. The site supports a residential structure located pprox.20 feet vertically and 60 feet horizontally from the shoreline of Lake Cushman.The lot,which is located in a residential neighborhood in Division two, is gei tly sloped and vegetated with native trees, shrubs, ornamentals, and lawn grass. The shoreline was accessed via a foot trail fron the north side of the residence.The waterward side of the property supports a conc ete paver walkway and fire pit.The lakebed is accessed from concrete steps inset it to the existing concrete bulkhead. Neighboring properties are also hard armored. Fhe shoreline of Lake Cushman at the site is moderately steep and composed(primarily) f cobble and gravel;the shoreline is exposed to significant wave action from overt iree miles of fetch and prevailing winds. No fish, invertebrates, or macroalgae were ohs rved in Lake Cushman at the site. Roush Biological Evaluation 15 6.0 Effects of the Action 6.1 Direct Effects Direct effects to the shoreline include: 1)Net gain of benthic habitat. 2) Creation of shade from the replacement pier and float. 3) Less contamination to Lake Cushman from the leaching of wood preservatives. 1) The proposed project will result in the removal of nine pilings and the installation of ten pilings. The pilings with sono tubes will occupy approx. 17.5 square feet. The existing, approx. 84' concrete bulkhead will have its failing footing repaired by reinforcing it with new concrete and rebar.An approx. six inch by two-foot area of the footing repair will be located waterward of the existing footing; however, that area will be located below the lakebed and will not occupy benthic habitat. The project will remove approx. 6 to 8 cubic yards of concrete that is occupying approx. 60 square feet of lakebed, for a net removal gain of approx. 42.5 square feet. Due to the seasonal fluctuations of the lake's water level, it is probable that benthic species do not thrive in the nearshore areas of the lake that lack permanent water.No empirical evidence was found to document if both terrestrial and aquatic species utilize the upper shoreline habitat, or if it has been too altered to support normal concentrations of either species. 2)Another direct effect is the creation of shade from the replacement pier and float. The overwater structures at the site produce a reduction in light to the underlying aquatic environment by creating a light/dark boundary that may give piscivorous species an advantage over their prey. 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 authors. Largemouth bass in Lake Washington prefer areas of heavy log and brush cover over other habitat types;however,they are commonly found under docks in early spring and are thought to be present until late summer(Stein 1970). Substrate type typically determines the acceptability of an area for bass spawning, but adjacent cover and structural complexity are also necessary for protection while the fish are concentrated in shallow water(Stein 1970; Cooper and Crowder 1979;Helfman 1981b; Pflug and Pauley 1984). The substrate type in the vicinity of the bulkhead and landing is gravel, cobble, and rock. Largemouth bass prefer moderate to dense vegetation and silt or sand substrate, and nests are constructed at depths from 0.6 to 1.5 meters, in vegetated areas with soft sediment or gravel substrate on moderate to steep slopes(Pflug 1981). The project site possesses unsuitable habitat for bass, so it is doubtful that the proposed float repair will increase the concentration of bass at the site or the occurrence of juvenile salmonid predation by bass. The project site supports no existing macrophyte vegetation and has no potential to support macrophyte vegetation, due to the lake'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. Roush Biological Evaluation 16 Data suggests that other fish species, including sa monids, are also attracted to the shade produced by over-water structures, so it is possib that adult salmonids could prey on juveniles at the site.However,researchers have ii dicated that structural complexity can moderate predator-prey interactions by providing ore refuges for prey species as well as reducing the foraging efficiency of the predator( ooper and Crowder 1979). This moderation may apply to naturally occurring stru tural habitat complexity, as well as habitat complexity due to the presence of docks, iers, boathouses and associated pilings (WDFW, WDOE, WSDOT 2001). Shade can also affect migrating salmonids. It is t known whether over-water structures disrupt the migration of salmonids in lakes.Nu rous studies suggest that docks,piers, and floats attract fish, and that the attraction of h is linked to shade produced by the object not tactile stimulus. While the effects of s ade on migrating juvenile salmonids in lakes is unknown, it is also unclear in marine wa rs, and there is no empirical evidence of mortality.The significance of predation to mil rating 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). As previously noted,the proposed project will r(sult in a 311 sf reduction of overwater structure coverage at the site.Additionally,the placement pier and float will be grated to allow 60 percent light passage, as per"I s stipulations;the existing pier and float are presently ungrated. In conclusion, shade cre ed by the proposed project is expected to have discountable and insignificant direct eff cts on ESA listed salmonids that may be in the action area. 3)The leaching of wood preservatives is a com on contaminant-related issue with the construction of shoreline SFR appurtenances. A 3 previously note,no pressure treated lumber will be used in this project. Temporary Direct Effects Temporary direct effects caused by the proposc J project include: 1)Turbidity and sedimentation in Lake Cushman. 2)Noise. 3) Water pollution from incidental release of fuel, oil, or other contaminants. 1)Disturbed substrate from the removal of he two pilings and the concrete debris may result in increased turbidity and s imentation.As previously discussed, BMPs will be strictly adhered to durin construction in order to maintain the present water quality of Lake Cushma and prevent runoff and pollution.In addition,the proposed project will tak place when the water level in the lake is much lower than the OHWM(738'), sa it is probable that rainfall will slowly Roush Biological Evaluation 17 disperse any disturbed substrate before it comes into direct contact with the lake's waters. Therefore, it is expected that turbidity and sedimentation will be minimal. 2) The main source of construction noise will be from the sawing of lumber.Noise will be intermittent and is expected to be a maximum of 79 dBA at 50 feet. 3)Potential water pollution from accidental release of fuel, oil, or other contaminants is another possible temporary direct effect.As previously discussed, Spill Prevention Control measures and BMPs shall be implemented during 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 constitute 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 temperatures ranging from 36 to 59 degrees F--the project will have no direct effect on water temperatures that support bull trout use. Roush Biological Evaluation 18 Migratory corridors with minimal physical, biolo gical, or water quality impediments between spawning, rearing, overwintering, andj braging habitats, including intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by hig water temperatures or low flows— the project's grating of overwater structures may iave a beneficial direct effect on migratory corridors that support bull trout use.A o,passage will not be altered during construction as no construction will occur unless he waters of Lake Cushman are low. An abundant food base including terrestrial org inisms of riparian origin, and aquatic macroinvertebrates—the project will restore ap ox.59 sf of benthic foraging habitat. Permanent water of sufficient quantity and qu ity such that normal reproduction, growth, and survival are not inhibited--the prof t is expected to have a minimal direct effect on water quality.Project construction is utilikely to cause temporary turbidity or sedimentation as work will occur when the lake' waters have been lowered. BMPs are expected to prevent or moderate potential water oollution during construction. In addition,no pressure treated lumber will be use CHINOOK SALMON PCEs: Unobstructed passage—passage will not be alt ed during construction as no construction will occur unless the waters of Lak Cushman are low.The project's grating of overwater structures may have a beneficial d' ect effect on Chinook passage along the shoreline. Water Quality—project construction is unlikel to cause temporary turbidity or sedimentation.BMPs are expected to prevent oi moderate potential water pollution during construction. In addition, no pressure tre Lted lumber will be used. The use of yellow cedar(rather than pressure treated lumb(r) is expected to improve water quality. Water Quantity—the project will have no effe on water quantity. Forage--the project will restore approx. 59 feet of benthic foraging habitat. Natural Cover—manmade concrete will be re oved from the lakebed,restoring approx. 59 sf of benthic habitat. 6.3 Direct Effects to ESA Listed pecies The direct effect from the proposed project to ther ESA listed species that are likely to be found in the action area have been analyze as follows 19 Roush Biological Evaluation NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL Due to the close proximity of human habitation and the small size of the action area, it is unlikely that any Northern spotted owls may be found in the action area of the proposed project site. 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 l3MPs and Spill Prevention Control Measures will be adhered to during project construction to protect the water quality of Lake Cushman.Noise impacts to any nesting or foraging murrelets in the action area are expected to be negligible. With the extensive acreage of undeveloped forest land nearby, it seems unlikely that marbled murrelet will be nesting, roosting, or foraging in the vicinity of anthropogenic development. 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 certain to occur(50 CFR 402.02). Possible indirect effects from the proposed project include: 1)The loss of shoreline aquatic vegetation. 2)The replacement pier and float results in an increased motorized boat presence at the site. 1)The replacement pier and float will cause a reduction in light to the underlying aquatic environment, which can have significant impacts on the health and productivity of both native and non-native macrophytes and algae.Macrophytes and algae are the foundation for most freshwater food webs and their presence or absence affects many higher trophic levels (NMFS 2004). As previously noted, the pier and float will be grated to allow 60 percent light passage, and the proposed project will result in a reduction of overwater structure coverage of 311 square feet.However, because the lakebed beneath both proposed structures lacks water for approx. six to seven months each year, it is doubtful that it(lakebed) is capable of supporting macrophytic vegetation that would be benefited by the grating. In conclusion, it is expected that the impact of the lake's fluctuating water level on littoral productivity will overshadow the impacts of shading from the pier and float at the site. 2)The pier and float may result in an increased motorized boat presence in the area. Fuel spills from powerboats can contaminate water quality and potentially affect listed salmonids directly or indirectly through their prey source(NMFS 2005). Powerboats also create amplified wave action that can erode the shoreline, and prop scouring can Roush Biological Evaluation 20 erode benthic habitat, although benthic habitat in he littoral zone is already significantly marginalized by the lake's fluctuating water level;.Powerboats also provide some oxygenation of surface waters, although the exter t is probably negligible at best. Overall, the indirect effects of powerboat usage on Lake C ushman is likely insignificant due to the lake's large size,the small number of boats that cess the remote lake, and the short boating season(primarily May thru September). 6.5 Primary Constituent Elements PRIMARY CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS The indirect effects on the designated critical ha itat of Bull trout and Puget Sound Chinook have been analyzed using the appropria e 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 degre s 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 us . Migratory corridors with minimal physical, bi ical, 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 indirect effect on migrator3 corridors that support bull trout use. An abundant food base including terrestrial o anisms of riparian origin,aquatic macroinvertebrates, and forage fish--the proje t will have no indirect effect on an abundant food base for bull trout. Permanent water of sufficient quantity and qL Ylity such that normal reproduction, growth, and survival are not inhibited—the u of yellow cedar is expected to improve water quality. CHINOOK SALMON PCEs: Unobstructed passage—the project will not liz ve any indirect effect on unobstructed passage. Water Quality—the project will benefit water uality(see bull trout). Roush Biological Evaluation 21 Water Quantity—the project will not have any indirect effect on water quantity. Forage—the project will not have any indirect effect on foraging opportunities for Chinook. Natural Cover the project will not have any indirect effect on natural cover. 6.6 Indirect Effects to ESA Listed Species The indirect effects 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 &MARBLED MURRELET While it is highly unlikely that either species would nest in trees that are located in a rural neighborhood, the proposed project may result in increased recreational usage at the site, which could prompt both species to nest elsewhere. 6.7 Interrelated/Interdependent Effects Interrelated and interdependent effects are described as the effects of the action under consultation analyzed together with the effects of other activities that are interrelated to, or interdependent with,that action. An interrelated activity is an activity that is part of the proposed action and depends on the proposed action for its justification. An interdependent activity is an activity that has no independent utility apart from the action under consultation (FWS &NMFS 1998). The project will have no obvious interrelated or interdependent effects. 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 Roush Biological Evaluation 22 intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by hig water temperatures or low flows the project will have no interrelated or interdepende effects on migratory corridors that support bull trout use. An abundant food base including terrestrial or nisms of riparian origin, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and forage fish--the project ill have no interrelated or interdependent effects on the bull trout's food base. Permanent water of sufficient quantity and qua ity such that normal reproduction, growth, and survival are not inhibited--the prof t will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on water supply or qualit CHINOOK SALMON PCEs: Unobstructed passage—the project will have no interrelated or interdependent effects on unobstructed passage. Water Quality—the project will have no interrel ed or interdependent effects on unobstructed passage. Water Quantity the project will have no interrelat or interdependent effects on water quantity. Forage the project will have no interrelated or int dependent effects on water quantity. Natural Cover—the project will have no interrelate or interdependent effects on natural cover. 6.9 (:umulative Effects Cumulative effects are defined as"those effect of future state or private activities, not involving Federal activities,that are reasonabl certain to occur within the action area of the action subject to consultation"(50 CFR 40 02). Cumulative impacts are difficult to access. Continued growth and urbanization is 1 ely to detrimentally impact fish and wildlife resources. Global warming could raise the water level of Puget Sound, leaving many waterfront properties underwater. Global warming could also result in warmer water temperatures,to the detriment of species such as bull trout. Additionally, over- fishing may deplete stocks of salmon, even as i ostoration of habitat in the watershed furthers their likelihood of survival. Roush Biological Evaluation 23 7.0 Conclusion 7.1 Take Analysis Section 9 of the ESA prohibits take of endangered or threatened species, "take"being defined in Section 3 as to harass, harm,pursue, hunt, shoot, wound,trap, capture, or collect listed species, or attempt to engage in any such conduct. "Harm"is further defined as a significant habitat modification or degradation that actually kills or injures listed species by"significantly impairing behavioral patterns such as breeding, spawning, rearing, migrating, feeding, and sheltering"(50 CFR 222.102). "Harass" is further defined as an intentional or negligent act which creates the likelihood of injury to wildlife by annoying it to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns which include, but are not limited to, breeding, feeding, or sheltering(50 CFR 17.3). In regards to the proposed project and the existing development activities, it is extremely ' unlikely that any"take"will occur. Previously listed 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 adversely affect is the appropriate conclusion when effects on the species or their critical habitat are expected to be beneficial, discountable, or insignificant. After reviewing the appropriate data and survey information, I have concluded that the proposed project will have an insignificant impact on the previously discussed Endangered or Threatened species if the previously discussed conservation measures are implemented. In my most honest and professional opinion, while the proposed project may impact individual Endangered or Threatened species in the project area, it is not likely to adversely affect or jeopardize the continued existence of those species or their designated Critical Habitat. The determination of effect for each of the listed species is: 1. Bull trout and their designated Critical Habitat May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 2. Chinook salmon--May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 3. Marbled muff elet May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 4. Northern spotted owl No effect. 5. Streaked horned lark---No effect. 6. Yellow-billed cuckoo—No effect.

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 Colic, 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). C. Proposed Action The proposed project is the repair of an existing bulkhead and the replacement of an existing pier, ladder, and float on the shoreline of Lake Cushman. Roush Biological Evaluation 34 D. Effects of the Proposed Action The effects of the proposed project on designated EFH are expected to be comparable to the effects described in the attached BE. E. Conservation Measures The conservation measures and BMPs discussed in the attached BE will be implemented to minimize any adverse effects to Essential Fisb Habitat. F. Conclusion The proposed project is likely to have no signifi ant impact on designated EFH for Pacific salmon. G. References NOAA,2006.
