The bluff toe at the site exhibits erosion damage that is common to the Lake Cushman shoreline. The primary cause of this erosion and concomitant shoreline instability is the seasonal raising and lowering of Lake Cushman, a reservoir with two functioning dams, and the lake's unique landscape features, including a steep, unnatural lakebed topography that lacks a shallow foreshore to diminish wave energy generated by strong prevailing winds and approx. eight miles of fetch, and a steep terrestrial shoreline that receives an average of approx. 100 inches of rainfall per year. Due to the existing bluff toe erosion and the potential for further slope instability at the high-bank site (Attachment 9), shoreline protection in the form of a wood bulkhead is proposed. As previously noted, a significant mass wasting event (i.e. a slide) deposited vegetation and sediments into the lake approx. one to two years ago. Additionally, the site lacks shoreline access and a recreational usage structure, so shoreline access stairs and a pier and float are also being proposed. The applicants wish to install structures that are safe for both humans and the environment. Therefore, the project objective is to install stairs, a bulkhead, and a PRF while avoiding or minimizing impacts to ESA-listed species and improving shoreline habitat at the site. ❑ Commercial x❑/Residential ❑ Institutional ❑ Transportation ❑ Recreational ❑ Maintenance ❑ Environmental Enhancement ❑ Aquaculture ❑ Culvert X❑ Float ❑ Retaining Wall ❑ Bank Stabilization ❑ Dam /Weir ❑ Floating Home (upland) ❑ Boat House ❑ Dike/ Levee/Jetty ❑ Geotechnical Survey ❑ Road ❑ Boat Launch ❑ Ditch ❑ Land Clearing ❑ Scientific Measurement Device ❑ Boat Lift X❑ Dock/ Pier ❑ Marina / Moorage X❑ Stairs ❑ Bridge ❑ Dredging ❑ Mining ❑ Stormwater facility X❑ Bulkhead ❑ Fence ❑ Outfall Structure ❑ Swimming Pool ❑ Buoy ❑ Ferry Terminal ❑ Piling/Dolphin ❑ Utility Line ❑ Channel Modification ❑ Fishway ❑ Raft ❑ Other: JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 5 of 15 As per the engineered design by MET Engineering, PLLC (Attachments 2-3), approx. one-hundred lineal feet(100') of post and plank wood bulkhead will be installed along the bluff and bank toe at an approx. lakebed elevation of 736 feet. The proposed bulkhead will be an average above grade height of between ten (10) to fourteen (14) feet. The bulkhead will be constructed of eight by eight inch (8"x 8") Alaska yellow cedar posts, two by eight-foot (2' x 8') yellow cedar planks, and galvanized hardware. To provide added stability, galvanized steel cable tiebacks will be bolted to the approx. seventeen (17) posts and attached to approx. six (6) concrete deadman anchors (2' x 2' x 4') that will be placed approx. fifteen (15) feet landward of the bulkhead. The anchors will be concrete ecology blocks or poured concrete. At both ends, the steel cable will be attached to a four inch (4") galvanized steel pipe that will be driven into the bluff slope to a depth of approx. ten feet and encased in concrete. The proposed overwater structure will consist of a six by twenty-eight-foot (6' x 28') pier, and an approx. eight by sixteen-foot(8'3" x 16'3") float. The pier and float will be constructed of galvanized steel or aluminum hardware, and yellow cedar posts,joists, decking, and trim. The float will be fitted with polyethylene encapsulated Styrofoam®floats; a float landing cradle constructed of Alaska yellow cedar will prevent the float from resting on the lakebed during the low water season. The pier and float will utilize approx. twelve (12) Alaska yellow cedar posts (8"x 8"). 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). Overwater coverage of the pier (168 sf) and float (128 sf)will total approx. 296 square feet. All post holes will 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. Sustainably harvested Alaska yellow cedar, which is insect and decay resistant, will be utilized instead. All overwater structures will be grated with ThruFlow decking panels, which are made of reinforced polypropylene, contain no toxic preservatives, and are recyclable. To aid in mitigating erosion, basalt riprap (1/2 man rock) will be placed along the bulkhead toe and around all pier and float posts to a width of one foot (1') following construction. The proposed quantity will be the minimal quantity required to provide protection, approx. 10 cubic yards. A circular saw and various hand tools will be used throughout the proposed project. All workers, equipment, debris, and materials will be transported to and from the site by car, truck, or boat. The float may be constructed off-site and transported to the site by boat when the lake's waters are high. 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.

The Department of Ecology(Ecology)reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): WATER QUALITY: Chris Montague-Breakwell(360) 407-636 The following construction activities require coverage under the Construction Stormwater General Permit: 1. Clearing, grading and/or excavation that results in the disturbance of one or more acres and discharges stormwater to surface waters of the St a e; and 2. Clearing, grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, if the common plan of development or sale will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge s ormwater to surface waters of the State. a) This includes forest practices(including, but not limited t�, class IV conversions) that are part of a construction activity that will result in the disturbance of one or more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the State; and 3. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that Ecology: a) Determines to be a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the State of Washington. b) Reasonably expects to cause a violation of any water qua ity standard. Ms. Kell McAboy March 10, 2017 Page 2 If there are known soil/ground water contaminants present on-site, additional information (including, but not limited to: temporary erosion and sediment control plans; stormwater pollution prevention plan; list of known contaminants with concentrations and depths found; a site map depicting the sample location(s); and additional studies/reports regarding contaminant(s))will be required to be submitted. You may apply online or obtain an application from Ecology's website at: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/stormwater/construction/-Application. Construction site operators must apply for a permit at least 60 days prior to discharging stormwater from construction activities and must submit it on or before the date of the first public notice. Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such, they may not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments, please contact the appropriate reviewing staff listed above.
