The ATF development includes the following: a fire pit, shoreline access(concrete stepping stone) steps, a wood retaining wall, a p er and attached beach access stairs, and a float.An existing rock bulkhead is permitted. In addition, a new project is also being proposed as Tacoma Power requires that the exi iting float be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats;the existing fl t currently utilizes un-encapsulated float material. Mitigation for ATF development is pr viously installed native plantings(trees) on the shoreline. 1.1 Background & ATF Develop ent The proposed project site is located in Mason C unty at 11I North Potlatch Drive North, Hoodsport Washington(Attachment 1). The M on County tax parcel number is 42307- 50-00039.The property is located in Section 07 Township 23N,Range 04 of the Western Meridian. The latitude is 47.49316 no , and the longitude is-123.24718 west. The proposed project site is located on Lake Cu hman in the Skokomish/Dosewallips Water Resource Inventory Area(WRIA 16) on shoreline designated Urban Residential by the Shoreline Master Program of Mason Coll o ty. Lake Cushman is regulated under the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and t e Mason County Resource Ordinance as a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area. rhe Shoreline Management Act of 1971 designated Lake Cushman as a Shoreline of Sta ewide Significance. In addition,Lake Cushman is regulated by Tacoma Public Utiliti (aka Tacoma Power),which has designated Shoreline Management Classificati (SMC)zones. The proposed project site is located in an SMC zone classified as "A."Ta -,oma Power defines the"A"management classification as shoreline areas with no known ignificant environmental/cultural resources or associated resource management g als precluding existing or future shoreline uses;this classification acknowledges existing private uses and anticipates potential future private and light commercials reline uses (Kleinschmidt 2012). The proposed project site is located in a rural n ighborhood on a shoreline lot with approximately(approx.) 70 feet of frontage,w ch supports a single-family residence located approximately twenty feet vertically an sixty-five feet horizontally from the shoreline of Lake Cushman. The site features a oderate cover of mature native conifers. Additionally,native trees have been recently p nted along the shoreline, on a bank directly landward of the bulkhead area. Existin shoreline appurtenances include (Attachments 2-8) a four by fifteen-foot(4' x 1 ') set of shoreline access(concrete stepping stone) steps, a rock fire pit on top of tl e bank(above the bulkhead), an approx. twenty-two-foot(21' 8")wood retaining wall v ith electrical outlets along the base of the bank that is between the bulkhead and an apprc x. four-foot(4')walking path, an approx. fifty-eight by five-foot(58' x 5')rock bulkhea (installed in 1995), an approx. six by Hodges Habitat Management Plan 3 fifteen-foot(5' 10"x 15' 6")pier, an approx.twenty-seven by fifty-inch (27"x 8') set of wood stairs running from the pier to the lakebed, and an approx. eight by seven-foot(8' x 7' 4") float. The pier is supported by the bank and four(4)metal pilings,two which are shared with the float. The float utilizes four float positioning steel pilings (6"). A vertical wood ladder on the pier accesses the float. The total overwater coverage at the site (lakebed access stairs,pier, and float is 155 square feet). 1.2 ATF Development Need and Objectives The existing shoreline appurtenances are common to shoreline properties on Lake Cushman; however,with the exception of the bulkhead,they were installed without the proper permits from Mason County. It is probable that the former owners were unaware that permits were mandatory.Now,the applicant(and new owner)wants to bring his 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,the Lake Cushman Management Company, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers(USACE). Additionally, as per Tacoma Power rules, the float will be fitted with new, polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats. The WDFW does not issue after-the-fact permits,but an HPA(hydraulic permit application)will be required for the latter action. 2.0 Project Description & Activities As previously noted,the existing float will be fitted with new, polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats, as per Tacoma Power rules. Four(4)twenty-four by forty-eight by twelve-inch(24"x 48"x 12")polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®floats will be installed on the existing float, as per the manufacturers installation instructions.Also,to ensure that the float is resting a minimum of one foot above the lakebed during the low water season, the float positioning steel pilings will be fitted with two by eight-foot(2' x 8') landing planks, utilizing galvanized carriage bolts and other hardware. 2.1 Mitigation Mitigation for the ATF development is previously installed native plantings (trees)on the shoreline (Attachments 9 & 10).The trees are primarily conifers and are approx. one to three feet in height. They appear to have been planted within the last two years. The following species and quantities were observed: Hodges Habitat Management Plan 4 Approximately twenty-five(25)Douglas fir and twenty(20)Western red cedar. Seven red huckleberry also appear to have been plant& . It is recommended that existing ivy be removed. Additionally,the replacement of the float materi d with encapsulated floats is self- mitigating as the removal of the existing un-enc psulated float material is expected to have a beneficial impact to the lake's water qual ty(see 5.1 Direct Effects). 2.2 Timing Work on the float will be completed over an ap ox. seven(7) day period during daylight working hours normal to a rural residential neig borhood. Work will only take place when the water level of Lake Cushman is low, which is generally between October and April. 2.3 Best Management Practices In order to maintain the present water quality of Lake Cushman during project construction,Best Management Practices (B )will be implemented. BMPs are defined as physical, structural, and/or manageri 1 practices that prevent or reduce the pollution of water(WDOE). The following additional BMP shall be used to insure that water quality is not degraded during construction: 1. Equipment shall be cleaned and check& for leaks, offsite and daily, before commencing work. In addition,the following Spill Prevention Con of measures shall also be followed: 1) The applicant will supply the site with a portab bathroom or allow workers access to the onsite bathroom so that solid or liquid waste wi l not become a source of stormwater pollution. 2)The applicant will be responsible or alerting the appropriate authorities in the event of a hazardous spill. 3)The applicant will have a spill kit and be able to perform basic control, containment, and/or con nement operations within the capabilities of the resources and personnel protective equip nent available. In other words, small spills, such as paint or oil, shall be promptly an I fully collected and disposed of at a suitable disposal site. In the event of a signific t spill, a fish kill, and/or if fish are observed in distress the Washington State Dep ment of Ecology(800.258.5990)and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wil ife's Area Habitat Biologist, Joshua Benton(360.602.0364), will be notified imme ately. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 5 2.4 Conservation Measures 1. No construction to occur unless Lake Cushman's waters are low. 2. An existing float will be refitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®. 3. Construction to take place as per the HPA provisions from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. 4. Previously discussed BMPs to be strictly adhered to. 5. Existing small native trees planted on the shoreline to be maintained with weeding and watering as necessary. 6. Electrical outlets,located on a wood retaining wall along the base of the bank that is between the bulkhead and a walking path,to be removed,as per Tacoma Power's regulations. 3.0 ESA Species and Habitat Information In the ATF project area,there are six species listed under the Endangered Species Act by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as either threatened, endangered, or candidate species. The bull trout(Salvelinus confluentus), marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus),northern spotted owl (Stridex occidentalis), and streaked horned lark(Eremophila alpestris strigata) are listed as threatened and critical habitat has been designated for these species. The ATF project site is in the bull trout's 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). Hodges Habitat Management Plan 6 i Additionally,Tacoma Power is presently worki g in association with the Skokomish Tribe and the WDFW to re-establish migrating lmonid runs in the North fork of the Skokomish River. The North Fork Skokomish Pov erhouse and Fish Facility has recently been completed.This facility collects adult fish at the )ase 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 of t ie dam for release into the river. The fry will be released in Lake Cushman, and smolts m ill 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 tcheries 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). 3.1 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 nd juveniles require extremely cold water for survival. Bull trout are also vulnerabl to degraded stream habitat, poor water quality, dams and other stream blocking structu s, and predation by non-native fish. Critical habitat includes the upper North Fork o the Skokomish River(70 FR 56304). Critical Habitat in the North Fork of the Skokor kish 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 vicinity of th ATF project site. MARBLED MURRELET A small, diving seabird in the family Alcidae,tl e marbled murrelet forages for small fish and invertebrates almost exclusively in nearsho e marine waters, while nesting inland in old-growth or mature conifer forests. Threats i lude loss of habitat, predation, gill-net fishing operations, oil spills, marine pollution, z rid disease. The USFWS assembled a team of scientists in October 2011 to investigat causes for the continued decline in murrelet populations. The outcome of these dis ssions listed many factors, chiefly loss of potential nesting habitat as the main reason r hindrance of population recovery goals (WDFW 2012). Potential nest trees are coniferous trees within f 5 mi(88.5 km)of marine waters that support at least one 4-inch(10.2-cm) diameter I latform 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 is influenced by forest structure,the spatial Hodges Habitat Management Plan 7 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 to the northwest of the ATF project site; therefore, it must be assumed that marbled murrelets may be found nesting in the vicinity. NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL The Northern Spotted Owl is one of the largest owls in North America, and the average adult female is approximately 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, approximately 9,577,969 acres (ac) (3,876,064hectares (ha)) in 11 units and 60 subunits in California, Oregon, and Washington fall within the boundaries of the 2 critical habitat designation. Critical habitat for the Northern spotted owl is located in the vicinity of Lake Cushman. However, due to the close proximity of human habitation, it is unlikely that any Northern spotted owls may be found in the neighborhood of the ATF project site. 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 ATF project site contains unsuitable habitat for the streaked horned lark. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 8 CHINOOK SALMON Chinook salmon in Lake Cushman are a land-1 ked population that originated from anadromous fish, although loss of genetic varial on makes it difficult to determine whether they are descended from historical Hoc I Canal populations or introduced hatchery fish(NOAA 2006). Lake Cushman C nook are genetically different, smaller in size (and presumably less fecund)than their anz romous counterparts (Myers et al. 1998). On Jan. 12,2009,Tacoma Power,the Skokc nish Tribal Nation and state and federal agencies signed a settlement agreement that res ved 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 Skokomis i Tribe(Tacoma Public Utilities 2014). In addition, Tacoma Power will annually release u to 100,000 rainbow trout for sport harvest(TPU 2014). Lake Cushman has been designated Critical ha at, and the ATF project site provides rearing, foraging, and migration habitat, so it is xpected that adult and/or juvenile Chinook salmon may be found in the vicinity ol the site. 4.0 Environmental Baseline Cond[tions 4.1 ATF Project Vicinity The environmental baseline represents the exist g 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 pri 1posed Federal projects in the action area that have already undergone formal or informal ection 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 S komish/Dosewallips WRIA 16 (Water Resource Inventory Area), on Lake Cushman ir Mason County.The majority of the fresh and marine waterbodies in WRIA 16 suffer fro water quality issues;however Lake Cushman is not listed on the state's 2012 Watei Quality 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies for any parameters. Two waterbod s in the Skokomish watershed,the South Fork of the Skokomish River and Lebar Creek Are listed for the parameter of temperature (high). The proposed project site is located in a rural n ighborhood on a lot with approximately 70 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, floats, and other appurtenances common to waterfront properties.Forested land in the vicinity of Hodges Habitat Management Plan 9 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). 4.2 ATF Project Site A field investigation was conducted on June 19, 2016, at approximately one in the afternoon. The project area was surveyed visually on foot. The elevation of the lake's water level was approx. 736 feet,two feet below full pool or the current ordinary high water mark of 738 feet. The site supports a single-family residence and the previously described shoreline appurtenances.Native vegetation coverage at the site is substantial, and there are numerous large trees.As previously noted,native trees that are approx. two to three feet in height have been planted on the bank, landward of the bulkhead. They appear to have been planted within the last two years. The shoreline at the site is located in a small cove. A perennial stream on the second adjacent property to the north discharges into the lake via an 18 inch culvert that collects stormwater throughout the north end of the neighborhood.The cove accumulates large quantities of woody debris, as it is blown in by prevailing winds.Adjacent properties support bulkheads,piers, and/or piers and floats. 5.0 Effects of the Action 5.1 Direct Effects Direct effects to the shoreline include: 1) The loss of benthic habitat from the installation of the beach access stairs' concrete landing and posts and the pier/float pilings. 2) Creation of shade to the shoreline from the stairs,pier, and float. 3)Contamination to Lake Cushman from the leaching of wood preservatives. 4)The prevention of Styrofoam®pollution. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 10 1)The footprint of the landing, posts, and pilin utilized in this project are located waterward of the lake's high water mark of 738 feet.All of the posts and pilings occupy less than eight square feet(sf) of benthic habitat Due to the seasonal fluctuations of the lake's water level, it is probable that benthic sp(cies do not thrive in the nearshore areas of the lake that lack permanent water.No empi cal evidence was found to document if both terrestrial and aquatic species utilize the ul per shoreline habitat, or if it has been too altered to support normal concentrations of eith r species. 2)Another direct effect is the creation of ove iter shade from the beach access stairs, pier, and float. The stair, pier, and float produce a reduction in light to the underlying aquatic environment by creating a light/dark bo indary that may give piscivorous species an advantage over their prey. The use of over-A iter structures in western Washington waters by bass, a common, non-native predator f juvenile salmonids, has been documented by several authors.Largemouth ba s in Lake Washington prefer areas of heavy log and brush cover over other habitat t es; however,they are commonly found under docks in early spring and are thought to b present until late summer(Stein 1970). Substrate type typically determines the accept a ility of an area for bass spawning,but adjacent cover and structural complexity are als necessary for protection while the fish are concentrated in shallow water(Stein 1970; Tooper and Crowder 1979; Helf nan 1981b;Pflug and Pauley 1984).The substrate t e in the vicinity of the bulkhead and landing is gravel, cobble, and rock. Largemout bass prefer moderate to dense vegetation and silt or sand substrate, and nests are constru ed at depths from 0.6 to 1.5 meters, in vegetated areas with soft sediment or gravel su trate on moderate to steep slopes(Pflug 1981). The ATF project site possesses unsuitab habitat for bass, so it is doubtful that the ramp and float has/will increased/increase the c ncentration of bass at the site or the occurrence of juvenile salmonid predation by b ss. The ATF site supports no existing macrophyte vegetation and has no potential to s ipport macrophyte vegetation, due to the lake's (anthropogenic) seasonal water fluctuatic ns. In addition, White(1975) determined that phytoplankton primary production is not si nificantly 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 hich algae thrive. Data suggests that other fish species, including almonids, are also attracted to the shade produced by over-water structures, so it is poss le that adult salmonids could prey on juveniles at the site. However,researchers have 'ndicated that structural complexity can moderate predator-prey interactions by providi 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 st ctural habitat complexity, as well as habitat complexity due to the presence of dock 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.Nu erous studies suggest that docks, piers, and floats attract fish, and that the attraction of ish is linked to shade produced by the object not tactile stimulus. While the effects of hade on migrating juvenile salmonids in lakes is unknown, it is also unclear in marine w iters, and there is no empirical evidence Hodges Habitat Management Plan 11 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). One final important fact: the overwater structures at the site lack water for approx. six to seven months each year. In conclusion, shade created by the existing ramp and float is expected to have had/have discountable and insignificant direct effects on ESA listed salmonids that may be in the ATF project vicinity. 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 product's environmental effects. The environment 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 was bound to suspended materials that settled into the sediments(NOAA 2009). Monitoring of leaching found that the greatest amount leached during initial rainfall (NOAA 2009). Four invertebrate sampling events were conducted at the AZCA site over a one year period to detect potential adverse effects.Results did not show a significant reduction in habitat quality, and no taxa were extirpated from the study area, despite elevated concentrations of copper near the boardwalk(NOAA 2009). It is unlikely that leaching from treated wood has had/will have a noticeable impact on aquatic life in Lake Cushman at the proposed project site, due to the small amount of treated wood used in the ATF project. 4) The proposed replacement of the float's exposed Styrofoam® float material with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats is expected to prevent the structure from becoming an eventual source of pollution to Lake Cushman. Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), commonly known by the trade name of as Styrofoam® is pervasive in the marine environment(CWAC 2008). Polystyrene is made from petroleum and is not biodegradable.Polystyrene is a principle component of urban litter and marine debris, and it is detrimental to wildlife that ingests it(Harvard University 2008). Polystyrene is lightweight and floats. It eventually breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces that fish Hodges Habitat Management Plan 12 and other wildlife mistake for food and consumd The lifetime of plastics in the marine environment is unknown. Some researchers feel that the composition of conventional petroleum-based plastics as durable polymers in ans they will degrade to increasingly smaller sizes but never disappear(CWAC 2008 In conclusion,the replacement of the existing in encapsulated float material with encapsulated floats is expected to have a benefic ial impact to the Lake Cushman ecosystem. 5.2 Indirect Effects Indirect effects are those effects that are caused y or will result from the proposed action and are later in time, but are still reasonably ce in to occur(50 CFR 402.02). Possible indirect effects from the ATF project include: 1 The loss of shoreline aquatic vegetation. 2)Potential increased motorized bo t presence in the area. 1)The overwater structures at the site have cau ed/will cause a reduction in light to the underlying aquatic environment, which can hav significant impacts on the health and productivity of both native and non-native mac phytes and algae. Macrophytes and algae are the foundation for most freshwater fo webs and their presence or absence affects many higher trophic levels(NMFS 200 . It is expected that the impact of the lake's fluctuating water level on littoral product vity will overshadow the impacts of shading from the overwater structures at the sitd As previously discussed, White (1975) determined that phytoplankton primary product on is not significantly reduced by narrow residential piers, due to the presence of more o imal light conditions than found in surface waters where light intensities are higher than those in which algae thrive. It is expected that the impact of the lake's fluctuatin r,water level on littoral productivity will overshadow the impacts of shading from the sta rs, pier, and float at the site. 2)The overwater structures at the site may hav caused/may cause an increased motorized boat presence in the area. Fuel spills From powerboats can contaminate water quality and potentially affect listed salmonids d rectly or indirectly through their prey source(NMFS 2005). Powerboats also create z mplified wave action that can erode the shoreline, and prop scouring can erode benthic abitat, although benthic habitat in the littoral zone is already significantly marginaliz by the lake's fluctuating water levels. Powerboats also provide some oxygenation of rface waters, although the extent is probably negligible at best. Overall,the indirec effects of powerboat usage on Lake Cushman is likely insignificant due to the lake' large size,the small number of boats that access the remote lake, and the short boating sc son(primarily May thru September). Hodges Habitat Management Plan 13 5.3 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 access. Continued growth and urbanization is likely 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 restoration of habitat in the watershed furthers their likelihood of survival. 6.0 Conclusion 6.1 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 ATF project, it is extremely unlikely that any"take"has or will occur. The proposed mitigation will further insure the likelihood that no "take"will occur. 6.2 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 ATF project has had/will have an insignificant impact on the previously discussed Endangered or Threatened species. In my most honest and professional opinion, while the ATF project may have/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.

The ATF development includes the following: fire pit, shoreline access (concrete stepping stone) steps, a wood retaining wall, a er and attached beach access stairs, and a float. An existing rock bulkhead is permitted. I addition, a new project is also being proposed as Tacoma Power requires that the ex ting float be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®floats;the existing fl at currently utilizes un-encapsulated float material.Mitigation for ATF development is pr viously installed native plantings(trees) on the shoreline. 1.1 Background & ATF Development The proposed project site is located in Mason C unty at 11 I North Potlatch Drive North, Hoodsport Washington(Attachment 1).The M on County tax parcel number is 42307- 50-00039. The property is located in Section 07 Township 23N,Range 04 of the Western Meridian. The latitude is 47.49316 nor h, and the longitude is -123.24718 west. The proposed project site is located on Lake C hman in the Skokomish/Dosewallips Water Resource Inventory Area(WRIA 16)on shoreline designated Urban Residential by the Shoreline Master Program of Mason Co ty. Lake Cushman is regulated under the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and t e Mason County Resource Ordinance as a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area. he Shoreline Management Act of 1971 designated Lake Cushman as a Shoreline of St a wide Significance. In addition,Lake Cushman is regulated by Tacoma Public Utiliti (aka Tacoma Power),which has designated Shoreline Management Classificatio i(SMC)zones.The proposed project site is located in an SMC zone classified as "A."Ta oma Power defines the"A"management classification as shoreline areas with no known ignificant environmental/cultural resources or associated resource management g, ials precluding existing or future shoreline uses;this classification acknowledges existing private uses and anticipates potential future private and light commercial sh reline uses (Kleinschmidt 2012). The proposed project site is located in a rural n ghborhood on a shoreline lot with approximately(approx.) 70 feet of frontage,wh ch supports a single-family residence located approximately twenty feet vertically an sixty-five feet horizontally from the shoreline of Lake Cushman. The site features a noderate cover of mature native conifers. Additionally, native trees have been recently pl nted along the shoreline, on a bank directly landward of the bulkhead area.Existin shoreline appurtenances include (Attachments 2-8) a four by fifteen-foot(4' x 1 ') set of shoreline access(concrete stepping stone) steps, a rock fire pit on top of t bank(above the bulkhead), an approx. twenty-two-foot(21' 8")wood retaining wall th electrical outlets along the base of the bank that is between the bulkhead and an appro . four-foot(4')walking path, an approx. fifty-eight by five-foot(58' x 5')rock bulkhead (installed in 1995), an approx. six by Hodges Habitat Management Plan 3 r { fifteen-foot(5' 10"x 15' 6")pier, an approx.twenty-seven by fifty-inch (27"x 8') set of wood stairs running from the pier to the lakebed, and an approx. eight by seven-foot(8' x 7' 4") float. The pier is supported by the bank and four(4)metal pilings,two which are shared with the float. The float utilizes four float positioning steel pilings(6").A vertical wood ladder on the pier accesses the float. The total overwater coverage at the site (lakebed access stairs,pier, and float is 155 square feet). 1.2 ATF Development Need and Objectives The existing shoreline appurtenances are common to shoreline properties on Lake Cushman; however,with the exception of the bulkhead,they were installed without the proper permits from Mason County. It is probable that the former owners were unaware that permits were mandatory.Now,the applicant(and new owner)wants to bring his 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,the Lake Cushman Management Company, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers(USACE). Additionally, as per Tacoma Power rules,the float will be fitted with new, polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats. The WDFW does not issue after-the-fact permits, but an HPA (hydraulic permit application)will be required for the latter action. 2.0 Project Description & Activities As previously noted, the existing float will be fitted with new, polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats, as per Tacoma Power rules. Four(4)twenty-four by forty-eight by twelve-inch(24"x 48"x 12")polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam® floats will be installed on the existing float, as per the manufacturers installation instructions.Also,to ensure that the float is resting a minimum of one foot above the lakebed during the low water season,the float positioning steel pilings will be fitted with two by eight-foot(2' x 8') landing planks,utilizing galvanized carriage bolts and other hardware. 2.1 Mitigation Mitigation for the ATF development is previously installed native plantings (trees) on the shoreline(Attachments 9 & 10).The trees are primarily conifers and are approx. one to three feet in height. They appear to have been planted within the last two years. The following species and quantities were observed: Hodges Habitat Management Plan 4 Approximately twenty-five(25)Douglas fir anc twenty(20) Western red cedar. Seven red huckleberry also appear to have been plante 1. It is recommended that existing ivy be removed. Additionally,the replacement of the float mater al with encapsulated floats is self- mitigating as the removal of the existing un-enc ipsulated float material is expected to have a beneficial impact to the lake's water qua ity(see 5.1 Direct Effects). 2.2 Timing Work on the float will be completed over an apl,rox. seven (7) day period during daylight working hours normal to a rural residential neig iborhood. Work will only take place when the water level of Lake Cushman is low, hich is generally between October and April. 2.3 Best Management Practices In order to maintain the present water quality of Lake Cushman during project construction, Best Management Practices (B )will be implemented. BMPs are defined as physical, structural, and/or managerial practices that prevent or reduce the pollution of water(WDOE). The following additional BMP shall be used lo insure that water quality is not degraded during construction: 1. Equipment shall be cleaned and checkec for leaks, offsite and daily, before commencing work. In addition,the following Spill Prevention Coni rol measures shall also be followed: 1) The applicant will supply the site with a portab bathroom or allow workers access to the onsite bathroom so that solid or liquid waste wi I not become a source of stormwater pollution. 2)The applicant will be responsible br alerting the appropriate authorities in the event of a hazardous spill. 3)The applicant will have a spill kit and be able to perform basic control, containment, and/or coni nement operations within the capabilities of the resources and personnel protective equipi ient available. In other words, small spills, such as paint or oil, shall be promptly an fully collected and disposed of at a suitable disposal site. In the event of a significa t spill, a fish kill, and/or if fish are observed in distress the Washington State Depa tment of Ecology(800.258.5990)and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wild ife's Area Habitat Biologist, Joshua Benton(360.602.0364),will be notified immed ately. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 5 2.4 Conservation Measures 1. No construction to occur unless Lake Cushman's waters are low. 2. An existing float will be refitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®. 3. Construction to take place as per the 14PA provisions from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. 4. Previously discussed BMPs to be strictly adhered to. 5. Existing small native trees planted on the shoreline to be maintained with weeding and watering as necessary. 6. Electrical outlets,located on a wood retaining wall along the base of the bank that is between the bulkhead and a walking path,to be removed,as per Tacoma Power's regulations. 3.0 ESA Species and Habitat Information In the ATF project area,there are six species listed under the Endangered Species Act by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as either threatened, endangered, or candidate species. The bull trout(Salvelinus confluentus), marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus),northern spotted owl (Stridex occidentalis), and streaked horned lark(Eremophila alpestris strigata) are listed as threatened and critical habitat has been designated for these species. The ATF project site is in the bull trout's 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). Hodges Habitat Management Plan 6 Additionally, Tacoma Power is presently workit g in association with the Skokomish Tribe and the WDFW to re-establish migrating E almonid runs in the North fork of the Skokomish River.The North Fork Skokomish Pov erhouse and Fish Facility has recently been completed.This facility collects adult fish at the I iase 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 of edam 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). 3.1 ESA Listed Species BULL TROUT Bull trout are members of the char subgroup of e salmon family and are native to the Pacific Northwest and western Canada. Water t perature above 15 degrees Celsius is believed to limit bull trout distribution, as eggs d juveniles require extremely cold water for survival. Bull trout are also vulnerabl to degraded stream habitat, poor water quality, dams and other stream blocking structu s, and predation by non-native fish. Critical habitat includes the upper North Fork o the Skokomish River(70 FR 56304). Critical Habitat in the North Fork of the Skokor iish River includes spawning and rearing habitat.Lake Cushman provides rearing, foragii g, and migration habitat, so it is expected that bull trout may be found in the vicinity of th ATF project site. MARBLED MURRELET A small, diving seabird in the family Alcidae,tf e marbled murrelet forages for small fish and invertebrates almost exclusively in nearsho marine waters, while nesting inland in old-growth or mature conifer forests.Threats in Jude loss of habitat, predation, gill-net fishing operations, oil spills,marine pollution, d disease. The USFWS assembled a team of scientists in October 2011 to investigat causes for the continued decline in murrelet populations.The outcome of these dis ssions listed many factors, chiefly loss of potential nesting habitat as the main reason f ir hindrance of population recovery goals (WDFW 2012). Potential nest trees are coniferous trees within 5 5 mi(88.5 km) of marine waters that support at least one 4-inch(10.2-cm) diameter I latform 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 is influenced by forest structure,the spatial Hodges Habitat Management Plan 7 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 to the northwest of the ATF project site; therefore, it must be assumed that marbled murrelets may be found nesting in the vicinity. NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL The Northern Spotted Owl is one of the largest owls in North America, and the average adult female is approximately 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, approximately 9,577,969 acres (ac) (3,876,064hectares (ha)) in 11 units and 60 subunits in California, Oregon, and Washington fall within the boundaries of the 2 critical habitat designation. Critical habitat for the Northern spotted owl is located in the vicinity of Lake Cushman.However, due to the close proximity of human habitation, it is unlikely that any Northern spotted owls may be found in the neighborhood of the ATF project site. 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 ATF project site contains unsuitable habitat for the streaked horned lark. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 8 CHINOOK SALMON Chinook salmon in Lake Cushman are a land-lo ked population that originated from anadromous fish, although loss of genetic varia on makes it difficult to determine whether they are descended from historical Ho Canal populations or introduced hatchery fish(NOAA 2006). Lake Cushman Ch nook are genetically different, smaller in size(and presumably less fecund)than their ana Iromous counterparts(Myers et al. 1998). On Jan. 12,2009,Tacoma Power,the Skoko nish Tribal Nation and state and federal agencies signed a settlement agreement that res ved 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 Skokomis Tribe (Tacoma Public Utilities 2014). In addition, Tacoma Power will annually release u o to 100,000 rainbow trout for sport harvest(TPU 2014). Lake Cushman has been designated Critical ha tat, and the ATF project site provides rearing, foraging, and migration habitat, so it is xpected that adult and/or juvenile Chinook salmon may be found in the vicinity ol the site. 4.0 Environmental Baseline Cond tions 4.1 ATF Project Vicinity The environmental baseline represents the exist g set of conditions,to which the effects of the proposed action are then added. The envii onmental baseline is defined as"the past and present impacts of all Federal, state, and pr' iate 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 ection 7 consultation, and the impact of state or private actions which are contemporane us with the consultation process" (50 CFR 402.02). The proposed project site is in S komish/Dosewallips WRIA 16 (Water Resource Inventory Area), on Lake Cushman in Mason County.The majority of the fresh and marine waterbodies in WRIA 16 suffer fror i water quality issues; however Lake Cushman is not listed on the state's 2012 Watei Quality 303(d)list of impaired waterbodies for any parameters. Two waterbodi 1,s in the Skokomish watershed,the South Fork of the Skokomish River and Lebar Creek i re listed for the parameter of temperature (high). The proposed project site is located in a rural n ghborhood on a lot with approximately 70 feet of frontage on Lake Cushman, in an are 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, floats, and other appurtenances common to waterfront properties. Forested land in the vicinity of Hodges Habitat Management Plan 9 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). 4.2 ATF Project Site A field investigation was conducted on June 19, 2016, at approximately one in the afternoon. The project area was surveyed visually on foot. The elevation of the lake's water level was approx. 736 feet,two feet below full pool or the current ordinary high water mark of 738 feet. The site supports a single-family residence and the previously described shoreline appurtenances.Native vegetation coverage at the site is substantial, and there are numerous large trees.As previously noted, native trees that are approx.two to three feet in height have been planted on the bank, landward of the bulkhead. They appear to have been planted within the last two years. The shoreline at the site is located in a small cove. A perennial stream on the second adjacent property to the north discharges into the lake via an 18 inch culvert that collects stormwater throughout the north end of the neighborhood. The cove accumulates large quantities of woody debris, as it is blown in by prevailing winds.Adjacent properties support bulkheads, piers, and/or piers and floats. 5.0 Effects of the Action 5.1 Direct Effects Direct effects to the shoreline include: 1) The loss of benthic habitat from the installation of the beach access stairs' concrete landing and posts and the pier/float pilings. 2) Creation of shade to the shoreline from the stairs,pier, and float. 3) Contamination to Lake Cushman from the leaching of wood preservatives.4)The prevention of Styrofoam®pollution. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 10 1)The footprint of the landing,posts, and pilin utilized in this project are located waterward of the lake's high water mark of 738 eet. All of the posts and pilings occupy less than eight square feet(sf)of benthic habitat Due to the seasonal fluctuations of the lake's water level, it is probable that benthic sp ies do not thrive in the nearshore areas of the lake that lack permanent water.No empir cal evidence was found to document if both terrestrial and aquatic species utilize the u er shoreline habitat, or if it has been too altered to support normal concentrations of eith(r species. 2)Another direct effect is the creation of overw ter shade from the beach access stairs, pier, and float. The stair, pier, and float produce a reduction in light to the underlying aquatic environment by creating a light/dark boi ndary that may give piscivorous species an advantage over their prey. The use of over-w tter structures in western Washington waters by bass, a common,non-native predator f juvenile salmonids, has been documented by several authors. Largemouth ba in Lake Washington prefer areas of heavy log and brush cover over other habitat ty s;however,they are commonly found under docks in early spring and are thought to b present until late summer(Stein 1970). Substrate type typically determines the acceptab lity of an area for bass spawning,but adjacent cover and structural complexity are als necessary for protection while the fish are concentrated in shallow water(Stein 1970; ooper and Crowder 1979;Helfinan 1981b;Pflug and Pauley 1984). The substrate t) 3e 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 construc ed at depths from 0.6 to 1.5 meters, in vegetated areas with soft sediment or gravel sub trate on moderate to steep slopes(Pflug 1981). The ATF project site possesses unsuitab habitat for bass, so it is doubtful that the ramp and float has/will increased/increase the c ncentration of bass at the site or the occurrence of juvenile salmonid predation by b s.The ATF site supports no existing macrophyte vegetation and has no potential to s pport macrophyte vegetation, due to the lake's (anthropogenic) seasonal water fluctuati s. In addition, White(1975)determined that phytoplankton primary production is not si ificantly 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 v hich algae thrive. Data suggests that other fish species, including lmonids, are also attracted to the shade produced by over-water structures, so it is possi le that adult salmonids could prey on juveniles at the site. However, researchers have ndicated that structural complexity can moderate predator-prey interactions by providi 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 st ctural 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 of known whether over-water structures disrupt the migration of salmonids in lakes.Nui ierous studies suggest that docks,piers, and floats attract fish, and that the attraction of sh is linked to shade produced by the object not tactile stimulus. While the effects of hade on migrating juvenile salmonids in lakes is unknown, it is also unclear in marine w ters, and there is no empirical evidence Hodges Habitat Management Plan 11 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). One final important fact: the overwater structures at the site lack water for approx. six to seven months each year. In conclusion, shade created by the existing ramp and float is expected to have had/have discountable and insignificant direct effects on ESA listed salmonids that may be in the ATF project vicinity. 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 product's environmental effects. The environment 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 was bound to suspended materials that settled into the sediments(NOAA 2009). Monitoring of leaching found that the greatest amount leached during initial rainfall (NOAA 2009). Four invertebrate sampling events were conducted at the AZCA site over a one year period to detect potential adverse effects. Results did not show a significant reduction in habitat quality, and no taxa were extirpated from the study area, despite elevated concentrations of copper near the boardwalk(NOAA 2009). It is unlikely that leaching from treated wood has had/will have a noticeable impact on aquatic life in Lake Cushman at the proposed project site, due to the small amount of treated wood used in the ATF project. 4) The proposed replacement of the float's exposed Styrofoam®float material with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®floats is expected to prevent the structure from becoming an eventual source of pollution to Lake Cushman. Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), commonly known by the trade name of as Styrofoam® is pervasive in the marine environment(CWAC 2008).Polystyrene is made from petroleum and is not biodegradable. Polystyrene is a principle component of urban litter and marine debris, and it is detrimental to wildlife that ingests it(Harvard University 2008). Polystyrene is lightweight and floats. It eventually breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces that fish Hodges Habitat Management Plan 12 and other wildlife mistake for food and consum . The lifetime of plastics in the marine environment is unknown. Some researchers fee that the composition of conventional petroleum-based plastics as durable polymers rr.rans they will degrade to increasingly smaller sizes but never disappear(CWAC 2008 . In conclusion,the replacement of the existing u -encapsulated float material with encapsulated floats is expected to have a beneficial impact to the Lake Cushman ecosystem. 5.2 Indirect Effects Indirect effects are those effects that are caused y or will result from the proposed action and are later in time,but are still reasonably cer ain to occur(50 CFR 402.02). Possible indirect effects from the ATF project include: The loss of shoreline aquatic vegetation. 2)Potential increased motorized bo it presence in the area. 1)The overwater structures at the site have ca ed/will cause a reduction in light to the underlying aquatic environment, which can hav significant impacts on the health and productivity of both native and non-native mac phytes and algae. Macrophytes and algae are the foundation for most freshwater fo webs and their presence or absence affects many higher trophic levels(NMFS 2004 1. It is expected that the impact of the lake's fluctuating water level on littoral product ity will overshadow the impacts of shading from the overwater structures at the sit As previously discussed, White (1975) determined that phytoplankton primary product n is not significantly reduced by narrow residential piers, due to the presence of more op imal light conditions than found in surface waters where light intensities are higher than those in which algae thrive. It is expected that the impact of the lake's fluctuatin water level on littoral productivity will overshadow the impacts of shading from the sta rs, pier, and float at the site. 2)The overwater structures at the site may havc caused/may cause an increased motorized boat presence in the area. Fuel spills Tom powerboats can contaminate water quality and potentially affect listed salmonids d rectly or indirectly through their prey source(NMFS 2005). Powerboats also create a nplified wave action that can erode the shoreline, and prop scouring can erode benthic abitat, although benthic habitat in the littoral zone is already significantly marginaliz by the lake's fluctuating water levels. Powerboats also provide some oxygenation of rface waters, although the extent is probably negligible at best. Overall,the indirec effects of powerboat usage on Lake Cushman is likely insignificant due to the lake' large size,the small number of boats that access the remote lake, and the short boating se son(primarily May thru September). Hodges Habitat Management Plan 13 5.3 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 access. Continued growth and urbanization is likely 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 restoration of habitat in the watershed furthers their likelihood of survival. 6.0 Conclusion 6.1 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 ATF project, it is extremely unlikely that any"take"has or will occur. The proposed mitigation will further insure the likelihood that no "take"will occur. 6.2 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 ATF project has had/will have an insignificant impact on the previously discussed Endangered or Threatened species. In my most honest and professional opinion, while the ATF project may have/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. Hodges Habitat Management Plan 14 3. Marbled murrelet No effect. 4. Northern spotted owl No effect. 5. Streaked horned lark---No effect. 6. Yellow-billed cuckoo—No effect.
