Deyette Road Shelton,WA. 98584 Development Description Development: Identify and describe the proposed project,including the type of materials to be used, construction methods,principle dimensions and other pertinent information. Weaver Creekflows through the McKernan Hatchery, where it is used near the hatchery entrance as an in- line rearing pond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end that are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts are located within 30 foot wide ponded area. These culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot x 12 foot wide bridge, with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. The new screen system includes a poured slab, steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearing pond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water(OHW)in the new in-stream channel. The project below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material. Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge. The fill will come from a local quarry.Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks will placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. It will be pumped to an uplands area where siltation will be filtered to prevent turbid water re-entering Weaver Creek. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settling pond that is separatedfrom any source of clean water. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks will be planted with willows and a native grass/shrub mix.No clearing of vegetation will be done. The site will be repaved upon completion. Any other areas of disturbed soils will be reseeded. Large rootwad materials will be placed just downstream of the in-line rearing channel to protect the banks of Weaver Creek against erosion and to provide habitat. Shoreline Exemption Application WDFW McKernan Hatchery Culvert Removal and Bridge Replacement Washington State Fish and Wildlife 600 Capitol Way Olympia, WA. 98501 Disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge willows and native grasses will be planted. Willow cuttings will be placed underneath the bridge. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Best Management Practices during construction will protect water quality from turbidity and other pollutants. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations. All permits will be obtained before construction starts. USE (Identify) current use of property with existing improvements Weaver Creek flows through the McKernan Hatchery where the creek is used near the hatchery entrance as an in- line raring pond. There are two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts at one end of the rearing pond. Maintenance repairs are required to continue hatchery operations in this rearing pond. The damaged culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot long x 12 foot wide bridge with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. Weaver Creek stream flow under the bridge is expected to match the present ecological functions at project completion. NO change in hydrology is expected by the result of this project. When the culverts are removed, there will be no effects from backwatering,ponding and sediment caused by the eroding culverts entering Weaver Creek. Floodplain flows well return to more natural functions. Reason for requesting Development: A maintenance repair is required at the McKernan Hatchery to remove two CMP eroding damaged culverts at the end of an in-line rearing pond in Weaver Creek. This repair will improve hatchery operations,provide a better fish rearing system, and restore the habitat where the culverts are presently located. Fish passage in Weaver Creek will be restored when fish are not being reared in the channel. Atproject completion Weaver Creek will have a more natural passage of water during flood conditions that will provide relief to nearby floodplain area.

The proposed project will remove culverts and replace them with a bridge. This project is proposed for construction during summer 2015. McKernan Hatchery has two culverts under a roadway at the end of an in-line rearing pond that are failing, causing frequent backwatering and creating a barrier to fish passage. These repairs will improve hatchery operations, provide a better fish rearing system, and restore fish passage. Large woody materials will also be placed at the downstream end of the in-line rearing pond, to provide additional habitat restoration. Enclosed are application materials for a shoreline exemption pen-nit. Application materials include: Mason County Environmental Application, Shoreline Exemption Application, Biological Assessment, permit drawings, a State Environmental Policy Act checklist and Determination of Non-Significance, and a check for payment. Thank you for your assistance with this project. If you have any questions concerning this project, please contact me at 360.902.8422, or via email at cindy.knudsen(iWfw.wa.gov.

Deyette Road Shelton, WA. 98584 Development Description Development: Identify and describe the proposed project,including the type of materials to be used, construction methods, principle dimensions and other pertinent information. Weaver Creek flows through the McKernan Hatchery, where it is used near the hatchery entrance as an in- line rearing pond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end that are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts are located within 30 foot wide ponded area. These culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot x 12 foot wide bridge, with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. The new screen system includes a poured slab, steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearing pond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water(OHW) in the new in-stream channel. The project below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material. Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge. The fill will come from a local quarry.Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks will placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. It will be pumped to an uplands area where siltation will be filtered to prevent turbid water re-entering Weaver Creek. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settlingpond that is separatedfrom any source of clean water. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks will be planted with willows and a native grass/shrub mix.No clearing of vegetation will be done. The site will be repaved upon completion. Any other areas of disturbed soils will be reseeded. Large rootwad materials will be placed just downstream of the in-line rearing channel to protect the banks of Weaver Creek against erosion and to provide habitat. Shoreline Exemption Application WDFW McKernan Hatchery Culvert Removal and Bridge Replacement Washington State Fish and Wildlife 600 Capitol Way Olympia, WA. 98501 Disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge willows and native grasses will be planted. Willow cuttings will be placed underneath the bridge. The proposedproject will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Best Management Practices during construction will protect water quality from turbidity and other pollutants. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations.All permits will be obtained before construction starts.

Deyette Road, Shelton. The project will remove existing double culverts (2- 48"x 42' CMPs) from entrance to the hatchery and replace them with a 42-foot bridge on precast concrete footings. The project will include dewatering, culvert removal,bridge installation, screen installation, and bank restoration. The project to replace culverts with a bridge at the McKernan Fish Hatchery will not impact flooding or flood elevations in the Skokomish Valley Floodplain. The McKernan Hatchery currently operates an in-line rearing pond constructed with ecology blocks and a geotextile liner. The pond utilizes water from Weaver Creek to rear fish. The rearing pond is bound by an existing weir at the lower end and two screened culverts at the upper end of the pond. The existing culverts are beginning to fail. The project would include installing a new removable screen system to contain juvenile fish during rearing. The screen system would consist of a poured concrete slab, a steel walkway and screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared in the pond, it would be an open channel and fish passable. The double culverts would be replaced with a 42 foot long by 12 foot wide concrete bridge. The existing walls of the pond would be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as part of the bridge abutment. The bridge would be supported by precast spread footings. There will also be approximately 10 pieces of large wood, logs, and root wads installed downstream of the hatchery pond to control an area of bank erosion. The width of the current pond is approximately 30 feet. The width under the proposed bridge would be a continuation on the pond at 28 to 30 feet. The pond is currently backwatered downstream and routinely has a water depth of 0.5 to 2.0 feet and velocities of less than 1 fps to 2 fps. Ms. Grace Miller March 26, 2015 Page 2 The project will consist of placing geotextile, ecology blocks, streambed material, and large woody material, below the base flood elevation. Above base flood elevation, crushed rock material,bridge abutments, and the new bridge will be installed. The site will be repaved upon completion. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, use of straw much, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks will be planted with a native shrub mix. The McKeman hatchery is located at the fringe of the 100-year flood plain of the Skokomish River. The flood mechanism at this site is directly from the Skokomish River with little impact from Weaver Creek. Using the 1998 FIRM data, Panel# 53011501801), the base flood elevation, zoned A2, is estimated at 35.5 feet NAVD 88. The current road elevation as surveyed by a licensed, professional surveyor was 36.75 (NAVD 88). As shown in the permit drawings, the top of the culverts to be removed are at 34.4 feet and 34.7 feet. The water surface elevation at the inlets and at the downstream weir at time of survey was approximately 35 feet elevation. The bridge will span Weaver Creek. Weaver Creek is a spring fed creek with very little fluctuation between high flow and low flow. It is a low velocity and low gradient stream that is heavily impacted by beaver activity, agriculture ditch diversion, and hatchery activities. At the hatchery, Weaver creek is consistently near bank full width with water elevations controlled by hatchery operations. With current beaver activity and hatchery maintenance, the water elevations rarely change by more than 12-inches between summer and winter flow. The bridge installation and screening will allow for more open channel, and a wider stream section underneath the hatchery access road, and the ability to keep the channel unrestricted during periods when the hatchery is not managing fish. Multiple ground elevations were taken around the project sight ranging from 36.1 to 36.75 feet. As we are proposing removing the culverts and fill from the stream channel, it is estimated that there will be a net removal of fill of 75 cubic yards below elevation 35. There will also be a net removal of 43 cubic yards of material between elevation 35 and 36. The proposed deck elevation for the new bridge will be 37.0 feet. The top of footing and the bottom of the bridge deck will be at 35.5 to 36.0 feet elevation depending on the depth of the concrete bridge section. The bottom of the bridge deck will be just slightly higher than the top of bank immediately downstream. Replacement of the culverts with a bridge allows for greater conveyance capacity and less fill within the 100-year flood plain elevations. Slightly raising the road elevation will prevent any backwatering of flood waters. The bridge will also not impede water from topping the banks at the hatchery should a greater than 100-year event occur. All materials used will withstand 100- year floods. The bridge and abutments will be anchored and stable. Ms. Grace Miller March 26, 2015 Page 3 The 10 pieces of woody material will be embedded into the bank and interlocked to remain stable at all water levels. The area of bank erosion occurs at a particularly wide area of the channel immediately downstream of the weir. The additional wood will reduce scour and erosion, enhance habitat, and have no effect on flood elevations. The current water level is within 1-foot of the base flood elevation. The area is very low gradient and low energy. The addition of the wood will not impact water elevations during periods of flooding or any other time.

The project location is in a channelized portion of Weaver Creek flowing through hatchery grounds that is used for juvenile rearing. There is vegetative cover on the banks of Weaver Creek upstream and downstream of the project location with deciduous trees(willow and maple)and herbaceous plants such as willow shrubs grasses,thistle and blackberry. Weaver Creek is characterized by cobble and gravel substrates with moderate depth and flow conditions. There are beaver dams nearby. Weaver Creek has water input from springs near but not directly adjacent to the project location. The project vicinity is in a natural area with large woody debris along the natural course of the stream with approximately 85%mixed hardwood and deciduous cover. The substrate in Weaver Creek adjacent to the project location has mixed instream cobble sizes. Instream fines are present with typical low summer flows. No wetlands are present near the project location. According to USGS Washington Stream Stats3,Weaver Creek is within a basin area that has a mean annual precipitation of 97.9 inches. There is a drainage area at the project site of 0.11 square miles. Peak flow through the project area for a 100 year flow event is estimated at 42.3 cfs.

You can provide more detail in 6b. hel ] Weaver Creek flows through the McKernan Hatchery, where it is used near the hatchery entrance as an in-line rearing pond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end that are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot long x 12 foot wide bridge, with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. Rootwads will also be placed at the end of the in line channel to create fish habitat. The new screen system under the bridge includes a poured slab, steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearing pond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The new bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing ecology block walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water (OHW)in the new in-stream channel. The project below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material.Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge. The fill will come from a local quarry.Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks will be placed to isolate the construction area at both ends of the bridge portion of the project. Water will be rerouted through a bypass pipe, and then through the existing channel. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settling pond that is separated from any source of clean water. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Water will be pumped to an uplands area where it will be filtered to prevent turbid water or other contaminants from re-entering Weaver Creek. Before construction, no clearing of vegetation will be done. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks and any disturbed soils will be planted with a native grass/shrub mix. The bridge site will be repaved upon completion to match existing conditions. Underneath the bridge on both sides, willow cuttings will be planted. Construction will be performed during approved work windows and within permit regulations.All permits will be obtained before construction starts. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [beipj The McKernan Hatchery currently operates an in-line rearing pond on Weaver Creek that is constructed with ecology blocks and a geotextile liner. The rearing pond is bound by an existing weir at the lower end and 2 screened culverts at the upper end. The existing culverts are beginning to fail. This maintenance repair is required to remove the two CMP eroding damaged culverts, install a bridge with a new screening system under the bridge. This repair will improve hatchery operations,provide a better fish rearing system, and restore the habitat where the culverts are presently located.Rootwads will be placed at the end of the in-line channel to protect the banks against erosion, and to provide habitat. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Weaver Creek will also have a more natural passage of water during flood conditions. Rootwads will protect the banks at the end of the rearing channel against erosion and provide habitat. 6C. Indicate the project category.

Describe how you plan to construct each project element checked in 6d. Include specific construction methods and equipment to be used. hel • Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody. • Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain. Weaver Creek flows through the McKernan Hatchery, where it is used as a 28 to 30 feet wide in-line rearing pond. There is a weir at the downstream end and 2 damaged screened culverts at the upstream end. The culverts are frequently backwatered. The two culverts will be removed and a bridge(42 foot long x 12 foot wide)will be installed with a new removable screen system to contain juvenile fish during rearing. At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. Construction access will be gained though hatchery grounds; no trees will be removed and no new site access roads will be created. Only minimal ground disturbance is expected. Supersack bags filled with pea gravel reinforced with plastic lining material will be placed at both ends of the project, and Weaver Creek will be diverted around the project area with bypass pipes. The height of the supersacks will be raised to an elevation thatprevents stream flow from entering the work area. The super-sack sandbags are each filled with approximately 1 cubic yard of sand or gravel with an impermeable plastic liner will be woven through the middle of the sack layers. Siltation curtains will be installed to limit turbidity impacts.Interior walls may be placed within the isolated area into separate smaller areas for a more efficient handling of construction water. Water in the construction area will be diverted to an upland bio-infiltration site where the diverted water cannot reenter Weaver Creek. Hay bales staked and entrenched with a wood stake or rebar will be placed along the low side of the bio- infiltration site to prevent water from re-entering Weaver Creek. This site will be staked infield by the engineer prior to construction. Water diversion techniques will be approved by the project engineer, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the HPA and other required permits. Streambed mix(3 inch minus) will be installed in the stream bed after the culverts have been removed. Turbidity impacts are expected to be short in duration, site specific, and temporary in nature. Since this area has typical low flow during summer, the turbidity impacts will more than likely be confined to the construction area within the sediment control structures, and limited at a maximum to 200 to 300 feet downstream during construction activities. Rewatering the area will be done slowly and according to BMPs. Construction activities will be at low water levels. Since maximum peak velocity is estimated at considerably less than I0cfs in the culvert removal area during the seasonal low flow work window, the maximum amount of sediment transport is not expected to extend any farther than an estimated maximum distance of 300 feet. Work will be conducted during approved work windows during low flow conditions and as approved by all required permits. Noise from construction activities above ambient levels is limited to the working hours between 7 a.m. and 6p.m. In water construction activities are expected to be completed in a maximum of two weeks, staging of equipment may occur JARPA Revision 2012.2 Page 6 of 15 earlier. Typical construction machinery will be used including dump truck, excavator, track hoe and compactor all staged above OHW. No area will be cleared for temporary access, No trees will be removed and machines will not enter the water.After the existing fill from the proposed project site is removed the existing culverts will be removed and disposed of offsite at an approved landfill. Any materials purchased for the proposed project, if required, will come from local quarry. In the unlikely event that historic artifacts are discovered, construction activities will stop and the proper authorities will be notified. Short term construction activities may affect a pool in the project location if one exists, however, habitat will be restored at project completion that will match conditions present at the site for pool frequency and pool quality. Fish removal will be done by dragging nets through the project area, then staking nets above and below the project area, to prevent any possible species from entering the site during construction, or as required by permits. At project completion, sandbags will be removed by hand, and then the bypass pipe, silt fence, and fish screen materials will be removed. Sediment controls will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Upon completion of the project upstream banks will be planted with a native grass/shrub mix.

No change in hydrology is expected by the result of this project. When the culverts are removed, there will be no effects from backwatering,ponding, and sediment caused by the eroding culverts entering Weaver Creek. Floodplain flows will return to more natural functions. Supersacks will be placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream.All precautions will be taken to avoid exposing Weaver Creek to concrete pouring activities. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Any water in the construction area will be pumped to an upland bio-infiltration site separated from any source of clean water. Hay bales staked and entrenched with a wood stake or rebar will be placed along the low side of the bio- infiltration site to prevent water from re-entering Weaver Creek. Best Management Practices during construction will protect water quality in Weaver Creek from turbidity and other pollutants. Water diversion techniques will be approved by the project engineer, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the HPA and other required permits.

Description of the proposed work: [Describe the work to be accomplished including purpose, number and type of structures to be installed or constructed, construction materials and machinery to be used, and anticipated construction techniques to be employed. You may attach additional pages or, if completing this form by computer, expand the space below to provide this information. Attach maps or drawings to clearly illustrate the location, nature, and extent of the proposed work.] Weaver Creek flows through the McKernan Hatchery, where the creek is used near the hatchery entrance as an in-line rearing pond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end, which are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts are located within 30 foot wide ponded area. These culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot x 12 foot wide bridge, with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. 3 The new screen system includes a poured slab, steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearingpond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water(OHW)in the new in-stream channel. The project below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material.Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge and a bridge walkway. The fill will come from a local quarry. Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks, two layers high will be placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted using bypass pipe. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. It will be pumped to an uplands area where siltation will be filtered to prevent turbid water re-entering Weaver Creek. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, siltfence, and/or straw wattles. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settling pond that is separated from any source of clean water. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks will be planted with a native shrub mix.No clearing of vegetation will be done. The site will be repaved upon completion.Any other areas of disturbed soils will be reseeded. Disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge native plants will be planted. Willow cuttings will be placed underneath the bridge.Please refer to the project drawings for detailed plant placements. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Best Management Practices during construction willprotect water quality from turbidity and other pollutants. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations.All permits will be obtained before construction starts. G. Project timing: Start date July 1,2015 Start Date In-water Work August 1,2015 End date September,2015 End Date In-water Work August 15,2015 H. Anticipated cubic feet per second (CFS) of stream at time of construction: Less than I foot pre second or 2 feet per second is expected. I. How much area do you propose to clear for temporary access? No area will be cleared for temporary access. J. How many trees and what sizes will be felled for temporary access? No trees will be felled for temporary access. 4 K. Will your temporary access traverse across slopes steeper than 30%? No. Temporary access will be through McKernan Hatchery grounds. The slope is less than 3%. L. How many temporary stream crossings do you propose? List all best management practices (BMPs) proposed to avoid and minimize impacts from stream crossings. No streams will be crossed. Access to the construction site will be through the McKernan hatchery grounds on paved areas. Equipment will be staged from above OHW on the banks of Weaver Creek. M. Culvert replacements: 1. Append the applicable "Summary Form for Fish-Passage Design Data"that can be found in the WDFW Culvert Manual ((Bates et al. 2003) Appendix F). See Attached. 2. Append maintenance plan that shows that culvert will be in design condition prior to each fish passage season. Culverts will be removed, but not replaced with additional culverts. A bridge and a walkway will be installed. 3. If your project is in gradients 6— 10 % and abridge is not feasible,use stream simulation option and provide annual monitoring data of substrate, invert elevation, and channel form (elements of roughened channel: boulders, pools, low flow channel) including a picture prior to each migration season. This project will be from 0-3%grade. Culverts will be removed and abridge and walkway will be installed. No change in grade is expected. 4. If your culvert is longer than 150 feet include tribal comments. If you discussed your design with WDFW, include WDFW comments or a record of your conversation with WDFW. This project will remove two culverts presently on site. The bridge that will be installed is 12 feet wide x 42 feet long. 5. Are you increasing the amount of rip-rap. If so,by how much? No riprap will be used. The project will consist ofplacement of. geotextile, ecology blocks, and streambed material below Ordinary High Water. Above Ordinary High Water will be quarry spalls, crushed rock material, bridge abutments, and the new bridge and walkway. 5 6. Describe how proper ecological functions (bedload movement, debris movement, flood flows) in addition to fish passage will be met. The pond is currently backwatered downstream and routinely has a water depth of 0.S to 2.0 feet and velocities of less than ]fps to fps. Stream flow under the bridge at project completion is expected to match present ecological functions in Weaver Creek. Floodplain flows will return to more natural functions. 7. If you are increasing the length or width of a road: The roadway over Weaver Creek will not be increased in length or width. A new bridge will replace the current roadway in the same footprint. The width of the pond is approximately 30 feet. The width of the bridge would be a continuation of the pond at 28- 30 feet. a. Quantify the increased impervious surface created as a result of this activity. During excavation and removal of the culverts, earth will be removed, and a bridge placed over Weaver Creek. Less impervious surfaces results with the installation of the bridge. b. List measures that you propose to use to avoid impacts to resources and water quality. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. No equipment will enter the water. Best Management Practices during construction will prevent water from entering Weaver Creek. Water quality will be protected from turbidity and other pollutants. No waste materials will be discharged into surface water. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations. Water in Weaver Creek will be temporarily rerouted around the construction area using supersacks and pipes, work will be done in a dry area. Streambed mix will be placed in stream before water is returned to Weaver Creek.No dredging will be done. No wetlands or wetland buffers will be disturbed. Refueling of construction equipment will be done away from the construction area where any spilled materials will not enter the creek. After construction, disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge, native plants will be planted. Willow cuttings will be planted underneath the bridge. Please refer to the project drawings for plant placements. Measures shall be taken to ensure that no petroleum products, hydraulic fluid,fresh cement, sediments, sediment-laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or deleterious materials are allowed to enter or leach into waters of the U.S. To the extent feasible, work requiring use of heavy equipment will be completed by working from the top of the bank. If required, stream crossings will be performed at right angle if possible; and. no stream crossings will be performed at spawning sites when spawners are 6 present or eggs or alevins could be in the gravel; and the number of crossings will be minimized. All waste material such as construction debris, silt, excess dirt or overburden resulting from this project will generally be deposited above the limits of floodwater in an upland disposal site. Note: Permanent road improvements that result in increased traffic or development are not permitted under this PBA. This project will not result in increased traffic or development at the McKernan Hatchery. N. Rock grade control structures: How much combined rock is proposed for structures? No rock control grade structures are proposed as a component of this project. O. Removal or modification of sediment bars or terraces: Has there been previous removal of sediment at this location? If yes when and how much? No sediment has been removed at this location previously. P. Side Channel/Off Channel Habitat Creation: 1. Has a reach assessment or analysis been conducted for this project? No. A reach assessment has not been completed for this project. At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. 2 How many years will the project take to complete? This project could take from three to six weeks to complete. 3. Demonstrate sufficient hydrology for a self-sustaining channel. Weaver Creek is at the McKernan Hatchery where fish have been raised in this channel for several years. No change in hydrology is expected by the result of this project. Water will have a more natural flow through the creek after completion. Q. Will you be isolating the work area? [Explain how your decision on working in the wet or dry, or partially isolation the area, will minimize impacts to salmonids.] Yes, the construction area will be isolated by diverting the water through pipes and pumping it to an uplands location where it will enter a settlingpond and filtered through straw bales and siltation curtains and natural surfaces before water eventually returns to Weaver Creek. Impacts to salmonids will be minimal because best management practices will be used to protect water quality, as described in 7b (above). Work will be done during approved work windows, and within permit regulations. 7 R. Give a maximum estimate for the duration and length of downstream turbidity impacts. The Services will use this estimate for giving you your take exemption. (During construction you will be monitoring downstream sedimentation every 20 min to verify/refine your given estimate.) Expected water velocity is a slow velocity,from 1 —3 feet per second. Water in the construction area will be pumped uplands and routed around the site. Construction will be done in dry conditions. Clean washed gravel will be used for placement instream under the bridge, sized specifically for fish spawning. Turbidity could enter Weaver Creek when water is reintroduced to the site at job completion, and during supersack placement and removal. These effects are with a limited duration, temporary, and within approved work windows. Effects are not expected to travel more than 300 feet downstream. S. Explain what equipment will generate noise above ambient levels and for what period during the day and for how many days. Noise will be generated during normal work hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and.from typical construction equipment such as dump trucks, excavator, and track hoe and pickup trucks. Work is expected to take less than three weeks. T. Please attach HPA or explain why you do not need one. The HPA will be obtained before construction work starts. It will be submitted with this application, or as soon as obtained. U. If your project does not meet all of the criteria outlined in the PBA, but is a restoration action of similar scope and impacts, contact the Services with the project's description, conservation measures and reason(s) it may not currently fit under the PBA. Provide below any supporting conversations with NMFS and/or USFWS staff, including a list of the PBA criteria your project won't meet. This is a living document. We are continuously working on refining the proposed/covered actions and conservation measures. This project meets the intent of the Programmatic Biological Assessment of Restoration Actions in Washington State. The project will comply with all general conservation measures of the PBA. The project will comply with all of the conservation measures frequently associated with restoration actions, with the following exceptions: General Conservation measures Section 1 Pre-Construction/Surveying: (number 5) Page 23 8 • The programmatic requires that no permanent access-ways will be built. This project installs a bridge that will be a permanent access way of a fish rearing area on the grounds of McKernan Hatchery. General Conservation Measures: (Section 1) Page 27 Frequently Associated with some of the Proposed Restoration Actions This project will comply with all of the PBAs conservation measures frequently associated with restoration actions; however, this project does not comply with number 7:Installation of Bank Stabilization Features in all sections (a through g). • This project will use precast concrete ecology blocks under the bridge as a bank stabilization measure commonly required as bridge footings. • After water is diverted away from the construction area, a poured in place cement footing will be placed in Weaver Creek required as a sill for fish screens. The fish screens are amended at the edges with an approved instream gravel mix. This project addresses Weaver Creek habitat degradation caused by instream culvert. Bank stabilization measures to support more natural habitat in Weaver Creek by restoring natural flow patterns. Concrete blocks are not approved as bank stabilization features. This project requires precast concrete blocks underneath the bridge that will be subject to erosion from high water events. Willow cuttings will be planted underneath the bridge, above the bridge foundation to provide habitat during high water events and to prevent erosion. The project will comply with all of the PBA s conservation measures frequently associated with restoration actions, with the only exceptions noted above. Excluded Elements (EAs) This project is not proposing any excluded activities or excluded restoration actions dermed as excluded under the PBA. II EFFECT DETERMINATIONS FOR FISH SPECIES USFWS & NMFS Each project should have the appropriate effect determination. The PBA allows for No Effect(NE), Not Likely to Adversely Affect (NLAA), or Likely to Adversely Affect(LAA) determinations for listed species.

Mason County Skokomish River Compressive Flood Hazard Management(2007)plan states that along much of Weaver Creek and unnamed tributaries in the Valley, the existing riparian zone has been degraded and altered by past pasturing and farming practices. 11 Habitat in the general project location has an 85%overhead cover mixed hardwood and deciduous cover. Weaver Creek has mixed cobble sizes instream, with instream fines present during typical low summer flows. The proposed project will remove two damaged eroding culverts that will restore habitat where the culverts are located. Fish will be able to migrate into a rearing channel within the hatchery without passing through the culverts. Habitat will be restored where the culverts are located with approved instream gravel mix and restorative plantings. Habitat exists at the project location for Chinook and Steelhead for rearing and migration (and possibly infrequent spawning). There is vegetative cover on the banks of Weaver Creek upstream and downstream of the project location including deciduous trees (willow and maple) and herbaceous plants such as willow shrubs grasses, thistle and blackberry. Weaver Creek is characterized by cobble and gravel substrates with moderate depth and flow conditions. Weaver Creek has water input . from springs that contribute flow to Weaver Creek near the project location. 3)Approximately how far is the project from the nearest suitable habitat(in river miles, upstream or downstream) for chum salmon, Chinook salmon, steelhead? Go to question 4. Chum salmon, Hood Canal summer ESU(Oncorhynchus keta), critical habitat is present in the watershed in the lower end of the Skokomish Subbasin and nearest to the proposed project at endpoint (47.3209,-123.2211) approximately one mile NE(overland) in an unnamed stream segment off of the south fork of the Skokomish River. There are possibly(unknown) opportunities for chum to migrate through Weaver Creek, but spawning or rearing opportunities are not believed to be occurring at the project location. Chinook, Puget Sound ESU(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - Critical Habitat for Chinook is in Mason County in the South Fork of the Skokomish River, and up to (47.3097,-123.2384) Weaver Creek Bull trout are present in Mason County in the general watershed region (Skokomish River South Fork). Presence of bull trout at the project location is undocumented. The last end point identified for critical habitat for bull trout is north of the project location in the South Fork of the Skokomish River at 47.425,-123.354. Notes: 4) Does the proposed activity have the potential to alter or affect the following indicators: temperature, sediment, chemical contamination/nutrients, physical barriers, substrate embeddedness, large woody debris,pool frequency, pool quality, off-channel habitat, refugia, wetted width/depth ratio, streambank condition, floodplain connectivity, peak/base flows, drainage network, disturbance history, function of riparian reserves, or disturbance regime? 12 YES x If yes, briefly explain which habitat elements will be affected and indicate if the effects will be short term or long-term. For example, many activities will have increased levels of turbidity during project implementation, but are expected to result in long-term improvements to the target indicators Temperature—short term affects may raise temperature slightly during construction activities but there will be long term improvements to habitat at completion of the project. Sediment-short term affects may raise sediment levels slightly that could reach as far as 100-300 feet downstream, but best management practices will be used and there will be long term improvements at completion of the project. Sediment impacts are temporary short lived and construction related. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Chemical contamination/nutrients-short term affects may disturb levels of substrate that could affect nutrient levels slightly at the project location, but there will be long term improvements at completion of the project. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Physical barriers—This project removes two culverts that are physical barriers to fish passage. Removal of the culverts will be a temporary disturbance to Weaver Creek; however removal of the culverts will provide long term improvements to fish habitat at project completion, because more natural flow and habitat conditions will be restored to Weaver Creek. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Substrate embeddedness-Short term effects from this project may increase temporary impacts to substrate embeddedness at the project location, however, substrate will be replaced at the project location that is representative of the typical substrate in the vicinity of the project location. Fine materials (3 inch minus), will be embedded in the restored substrate that will match typical conditions in the stream bed areas at and around the site providing long term improvements at project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Large woody debris—Habitat throughout the project vicinity has large woody debris throughout the natural course of the stream. This project will not disturb any LWD at or near the project location, although there may be some incidental removal of some shrub material, sticks, or grass during project activities. Best management practices will used throughout allproject activities, and the area will be restored byplanting native plant materials including some willow and native shrub species. At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. Pool frequency-Pool quality- Short term construction activities may affect a pool in the project location (if one exists), however, habitat will be restored at project completion that will complement any existing habitat in the vicinity including restoring the area to match conditions present at the site for pool frequency and pool quality. Removal of the eroding damaged culverts will provide long term improvements at project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Off channel habitat- This project is not in a location considered off channel habitat; however, removal of the culverts will havepositive effects on all surrounding habitat areas. Natural flow will be established through the area that is expected to have long term improvements at completion of the project.At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. 13 Re u is-Short term affects will affect some bank areas of refugia near where the culverts will be removed, however, during the expected work window there will be fewer rearing individuals using refugia in the project location. There are expected to be long term improvements to the general;habitat in the area at the completion of the pr'oject. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities, including replanting the area after project completion with native plant species.At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. Wetted width/depth ratio—There will be some short term changes to the wetted habitat area during project activities, due to rechanneling the stream in the area and diverting water in the construction area to an uplands area and reestablishing a new channel area at project completion, When the project is completed there will be overall improvements throughout the course of the stream. This project will return the area to more natural wetted width and depth ratio conditions that will provide overall habitat improvement with more normal floodplain functions. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Streambank condition-Short term affects will change the habitat in the immediate project location, by removal of some instream and bank cover, however there are thought to be few individuals present during the approved work window, and restoration plantings will be done with native species that will eventually reestablish stream bank conditions. Long term improvements are expected at project completion.Refer to project drawings for a list ofproposed plantings that will eventually restore the area. Foodplain connectivity—This project restores the area by removing the eroding damaged culverts. This will create more natural movement of waters through the stream during flood conditions, and provide relief to the nearby floodplain area. Long term improvements are expected at project completion that will improve floodplain connectivity. Peak-base flows-This project restores the area by removing the eroding damaged culverts to create more natural movement of waters through the stream during flood conditions assisting more natural movement of peak-base flows through the area. Long term improvements are expected at project completion. Drainare network—This project restores the area by removing the eroding damaged culverts to create more natural drainage network of waters through the typical stream flow patterns including flood conditions. This project is expected to provide relief to the nearby floodplain area. Long term improvements are expected at project completion. Disturbance history-Short term affects from water diversion during construction will create short term disturbance history that will affect the micro climates present at the site for native and listed species, however, these communities will reestablish when water is returned to the stream due to restoration activities at the site duringproject completion. There will be long term improvements at completion of the project due to returning the stream to more natural flow patterns. Function of riparian reserves—Restoration plantings in the project area will contribute to the long term improvement of riparian reserves in the area. Function of riparian areas will be maintained at the project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Disturbance regime-This project will contribute to the disturbance regime in the area through short term affects due to water diversion, but there will be long term improvements at project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all construction activities. There will be turbidity generated by project activities, however water, (if present)will be diverted through a pipe pumped to an upland location where it will be filtered through hay bales and or straw wattles, and filtered through grassy areas where 14 water will eventually be reintroduced downstream of the construction activities. These Best Management Practices will produce less disturbance from siltation and turbidity to Weaver Creek. NO If no, the project will have "No Effect" on (insert species). Go to question 4. Notes: 5) Provide rationale for effect determination Effect Determination: not likely to adversely effect This project diverts Weaver Creek away from its usual course during a time when listed salmonids are not likely to be present. During construction,and the project restores and improves habitat functions provided by the original channel,by restoring fish passage and installing large woody material habitat structures. Listed fish are not expected to be at the project area during approved work windows. Fish removal will be done by moving fish out of the area with nets. This project will be conducted during seasonal low flow conditions. Construction effects will be temporary, of short duration and during approved work windows to avoid impacts to any species that could be present at the site. Restoration activities will remove silted gravel materials along with the culverts,and restore the stream section in this area with approved instream gravel materials. Over time the replanted area will provide cover for migrating and rearing individuals. Steelhead,Coastal/Puget Sound DPS(Oncorhynchus mykiss):not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Chinook,Puget Sound ESU(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Chum salmon,Hood Canal summer ESU(Oncorhynchus keta):not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Critical Habitat,Chinook,Puget Sound ESU(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha):not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Critical Habitat-Chum salmon,Hood Canal summer ESU(Oncorhynchus keta): not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Note: If you are dewatering an area, electroshocking in an area, or are doing major in-water work where listed salmonids are likely to be present during the work window, you will probably have a LAA effect determination. Note: If you are dewatering an area, electroshocking in an area, or are doing major in-water work where listed salmonids are likely to be present during the work window, you will probably have a LAA effect determination.

Fish Capture—General Guidelines 1. Fish Capture Methods a. Minnow traps. Optional. Traps may be left in place prior to dewatering and may be used in conjunction with seining. Once dewatering starts,minnow traps should only be used if there is someone present to check the traps every few hours, and remove the traps once the water level becomes too low. b. Seining. Required. Use seine with mesh of a size to ensure entrapment of the residing ESA-listed fish and age classes. c. Sanctuary dip nets. Required. Use in conjunction with other methods as area is dewatered. d. Electrofishing. Optional. Use electrofishing only after other means of fish capture have been exhausted or where other means of fish capture are not be feasible. Applicants shall adhere to NMFS Backpack Electrofishing Guidelines (NMFS 2000). 2. Fish capture operations will be conducted by or under the supervision of a fishery biologist experienced in such efforts and all staff working with the capture operation must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to ensure the safe handling of all ESA-listed fish. 3. The applicant must obtain any other Federal, State and local permits and authorizations necessary for the conduct of fish capture activities. 4. A description of any capture and release effort will be included in a post-project report, including the name and address of the supervisory fish biologist, methods used to isolate the work area and minimize disturbances to ESA-listed species, stream conditions before and following placement and removal of barriers; the means of fish removal; the number and size of fish removed by species and age class; condition upon release of all fish handled; and any incidence of observed injury or mortality. 5. Storage and Release. ESA-listed fish must be handled with extreme care and kept in water at all times during transfer procedures. The transfer of ESA-listed fish must be conducted using a sanctuary net that holds water during transfer, whenever necessary to prevent the added stress of an out-of-water transfer. A healthy environment for non-ESA listed fish shall be provided by large buckets (five gallon minimum to prevent overcrowding) and minimal handling of fish. The water temperature in the transfer buckets shall not exceed the temperature of cold pool water in the subject stream. Retain fish the minimum time possible to ensure that stress is minimized, temperatures do not rise, and dissolved oxygen remains suitable. Release fish as near as possible to the isolated reach in a pool or area that provides cover and flow refuge. 26 B. Dewater Instream Work Area and Fish Capture Fish screen. Except for gravity diversions that have gradual and small outfall drops directly into water, all water intake structures must have a fish screen installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with NMFS Guidelines (NMFS 1997; Chapter 11 in NMFS 2008). The sequence for stream flow diversion will be: Note: this sequence will take one 24-hour period prior to construction to complete(of which 12 hours are for staged dewatering with 6 hours overnight). We suggest you start in the morning the day before project construction is scheduled and leave the reach dewatered overnight according to instruction below. 1. Install flow conveyance devices (pumps, discharge lines, gravity drain lines, conduits, and channels), but do not divert flow. 2. Install upstream barrier. Allow water to flow over upstream barrier. 3. Install block net at upstream end of work area. Block nets will be checked every 4 hours, 24 hours a day. If any fish are impinged or killed on the nets they will be checked hourly. 4. Reduce flow over upstream barrier by one-third for a minimum of 6 hours. 5. Inspect as discharge is diminishing and in dewatered areas for stranded and trapped fish and remove them with sanctuary dip nets. 6. Reduce flow over upstream barrier by an additional one-third for a minimum of 6 hours. 7. Again, inspect dewatered areas for stranded and trapped fish and remove them with sanctuary dip nets. 8. Leave the project area in a stable, low flow(one third of flow) condition, overnight, allowing fish to leave the area volitionally. 9. In the morning, remove any remaining fish from the area to be dewatered using seines and/or hand held sanctuary dip-nets. 10. Divert upstream flow completely. 11. Install downstream barrier if necessary(only in low gradient,backwatered reaches). 12. If water remains within the work area; seine, dip net, and lastly electrofish(if using this technique),the project area until catch rates have reached no fish for 3 consecutive passes. Move rocks as needed to flush fish and effectively electrofish the work area. 13. If needed,pump water out of isolated pools within the project area to a temporary storage and treatment site or into upland areas and filter through vegetation prior to reentering the stream channel. Continue to seine, dip net and electrofish while pumping. 14. If fish continue to be captured, shut pump off before average water depths reach one foot. Continue to seine, dip net and electrofish until no fish are caught for 3 consecutive passes. 15. Pump dry and check substrate for remaining fish. 16. Continue to pump water from the project area as needed for the duration of the project. The diversion structure is typically a temporary dam built just upstream of the project site with sand bags that are filled with clean gravel or stream/floodplain rock and covered with plastic sheeting. A portable bladder dam or other non-erosive diversion technologies may be used to contain stream flow. Mining of stream or floodplain rock can be used for diversion dam construction if it does not result in significant additional floodplain or stream disturbance. Often gravel has to be moved to key in logs in which case it makes sense to use this gravel for the diversion structure. 27 The temporary bypass system must consist of non-erosive techniques, such as a pipe or a plastic-lined channel, both of which must be sized large enough to accommodate the predicted peak flow rate during construction. In cases of channel rerouting, water can be diverted to one side of the existing channel. Dissipate flow at the outfall of the bypass system to diffuse erosive energy of the flow. Place the outflow in an area that minimizes or prevents damage to riparian vegetation. If the diversion inlet is a gravity diversion and is not screened to allow for downstream passage of fish,place diversion outlet in a location that facilitates gradual and safe reentry of fish into the stream channel. C. Rewater Instream Work Area Remove stream diversion and restore stream flow. Heavy machinery operating from the bank may be used to aid in removal of diversion structures. Slowly re-water the construction site to prevent loss of surface water downstream as the construction site streambed absorbs water and to prevent a sudden increase in stream turbidity. Look downstream during re-watering to prevent stranding of aquatic organisms below the construction site. All stream diversion devices, equipment, pipe, and conduits will be removed and disturbed soil and vegetation will be restored after the diversion is no longer needed. 28 Protocol II Dewatering Outside High Likelihood Listed Fish Areas If bull trout or other listed salmonids are captured at any time during the dewatering process, immediately notify a USFWS bull trout biologist or NMFS biologist and obtain guidance to either continue to dewater and remove fish or stop activities and re-water the project site. Normal guidance: 1. If you encounter listed fish at or prior to step 3 switch to Protocol I 2. If you encounter listed fish after step 3, continue to dewater and remove fish, paying close attention to presence of additional listed salmonids. A. Fish Capture—General Guidelines 1. Fish Capture Methods a. Minnow traps. Optional. Traps may be left in place prior to dewatering and may be used in conjunction with seining. Once dewatering starts,minnow traps should only be used if there is someone present to check the traps every few hours, and remove the traps once the water level becomes too low. b. Seining. Required. Use seine with mesh of such a size to ensure entrapment of the residing ESA-listed fish and age classes. c. Sanctuary dip nets. Required. Use in conjunction with other methods as area is dewatered. d. Electrofishing. Optional. Use electrofishing only after other means of fish capture have been exhausted or where other means of fish capture are not be feasible. Applicants shall adhere to NMFS Backpack Electrofishing Guidelines. 2. Fish capture operations will be conducted by or under the supervision of a fishery biologist experienced in such efforts and all staff working with the seining operation must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to ensure the safe handling of all ESA-listed fish. 3. The applicant must obtain any other Federal, State and local permits and authorizations necessary for the conduct of fish capture activities. 4. A description of any seine and release effort will be included in a post-project report, including the name and address of the supervisory fish biologist,methods used to isolate the work area and minimize disturbances to ESA-listed species, stream conditions before and following placement and removal of barriers; the means of fish removal; the number and size of fish removed by species; conditions upon release of all fish handled; and any incidence of observed injury or mortality. 5. Storage and Release. Fish must be handled with extreme care and kept in water to the maximum extent possible during transfer procedures. A healthy environment for the stressed fish shall be provided by large buckets (five gallon minimum to prevent overcrowding) and minimal handling of fish. The temperature of the water shall not exceed the temperature in large deep holding pools of the subject system. The transfer of any ESA-listed fish must be conducted using a sanctuary net that holds water during transfer, to prevent the added stress of 29 an out-of-water transfer. Retain fish the minimum time possible to ensure that stress is minimized, temperatures do not rise, and dissolved oxygen remains suitable. Release fish as near as possible to the isolated reach in a pool or area that provides cover and flow refuge. B. Dewater Instream Work Area and Fish Capture Fish screen. Except for gravity diversions that have gradual and small outfall drops directly into water, all water intake structures must have a fish screen installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the NMFS Guidelines (NMFS 1997; Chapter 1 I in NMFS 2008). The sequence for stream flow diversion would be as follows: 1. Install flow conveyance devices (pumps, discharge lines, gravity drain lines, conduits, and channels), but do not divert flow. 2. Install block net at upstream end or work area. 3. Seine and dip net through the entire project area in a downstream direction, starting at the upstream end; thereby moving fish out of the project area. Then, if necessary electrofish. 4. Install upstream barrier and divert upstream flow completely. 5. Capture any remaining fish using hand held dip-nets. 6. Install downstream barrier if necessary(only in low gradient backwatered reaches). 7. If water remains within the work area; seine and dip net, if necessary electrofish the project area until catch rates have reached no fish for 3 consecutive passes. 8. Pump water out of isolated pools within the project area to a temporary storage and treatment site or into upland areas and filter through vegetation prior to re-entering the stream channel. Continue to seine, dip net, or electrofish while pumping. 9. If fish continue to be captured, shut pump off before average water depths reach one foot. Continue to seine, dip net, or electrofish until no fish are caught for 3 consecutive passes. 10. Pump dry and check substrate for remaining fish and remove them. 11. Continue to pump water from the project area as needed for the duration of the project. The diversion structure is typically a temporary dam built just upstream of the project site with sand bags that are filled with clean gravel or stream/floodplain rock and covered with plastic sheeting. A portable bladder dam or other non-erosive diversion technologies may be used to contain stream flow.

Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: hjheel 1 This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision- making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals:[hel For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects)questions in Part B - Environmental Elements—that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. background h( eM 1.

Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. hei The proposed project is located at the McKernan fish hatchery. The project location is in a channelized portion of Weaver Creek flowing through hatchery grounds that is used for juvenile rearing. There is vegetative cover on the banks of Weaver Creek upstream and downstream of the project location with deciduous trees(willow and maple)and herbaceous plants such as willow shrubs grasses,thistle and blackberry. Weaver Creek is characterized by cobble and gravel substrates with moderate depth and flow conditions. There are beaver dams nearby. Weaver Creek has water input from springs near but not directly adjacent to the project location. The project vicinity is in a natural area with large woody debris along the natural course of the stream with approximately 85%mixed hardwood and deciduous cover. The substrate in Weaver Creek adjacent to the project location has mixed instream cobble sizes. Instream fines are present with typical low summer flows. No wetlands are present near the project location. According to USGS Washington Stream Stats3,Weaver Creek is within a basin area that has a mean annual precipitation of 97.9 inches. There is a drainage area at the project site of 0.11 square miles. Peak flow through the project area for a 100 year flow event is estimated at 42.3 cfs.

LbLeM Weaver Creekflows through the McKernan Hatchery, where it is used near the hatchery entrance as an in-line rearingpond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end that are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot long 12 foot wide bridge, with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing.Rootwads will also be placed at the end of the in line channel to create fish habitat. The new screen system under the bridge includes a poured slab, steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearing pond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The new bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing ecology block walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water (OHW) in the new in-stream_channel. Theproject below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material.Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge. The fill will come from a local quarry.Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks will be placed to isolate the construction area at both ends of the bridge portion of the project. Water will be rerouted through a bypass pipe, and then through the existing channel. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settling pond that is separated from any source of clean water. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Water will be pumped to an uplands area where it will be filtered to prevent turbid water or other contaminants from re-entering Weaver Creek. Before construction, no clearing of vegetation will be done. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks and any disturbed soils will be planted with a native grass/shrub mix. The bridge site will be repaved upon completion to match existing conditions. Underneath the bridge on both sides, willow cuttings will be planted. Construction will be performed during approved work windows and within permit regulations.All permits will be obtained before construction starts. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. hel The McKernan Hatchery currently operates an in-line rearing pond on Weaver Creek that is constructed with ecology blocks and a geotextile liner. The rearing pond is bound by an existing weir at the lower end and 2 screened culverts at the upper end. The existing culverts are beginning to fail. This maintenance repair is required to remove the two CMP eroding damaged culverts, install a bridge with a new screening system under the bridge. This repair will improve hatchery operations,provide a better fish rearing system, and restore the habitat where the culverts are presently located.Rootwads will be placed at the end of the in-line channel to protect the banks against erosion, and to provide habitat. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Weaver Creek will also have a more natural passage of water during flood conditions. Rootwads will protect the banks at the end of the rearing channel against erosion and provide habitat. 6C. Indicate the project category.

[help] • Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody. • Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain. Weaver Creekflows through the McKernan Hatchery, where it is used as a 28 to 30 feet wide in-line rearing pond. There is a weir at the downstream end and 2 damaged screened culverts at the upstream end. The culverts are frequently backwatered. The two culverts will be removed and a bridge(42 foot long x 12 foot wide)will be installed with a new removable screen system to contain juvenile fish during rearing. At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. Construction access will be gained though hatchery grounds; no trees will be removed and no new site access roads will be created. Only minimal ground disturbance is expected. Supersack bags filled with pea gravel reinforced with plastic lining material will be placed at both ends of the project, and Weaver Creek will be diverted around the project area with bypass pipes. The height of the supersacks will be raised to an elevation thatprevents stream flow from entering the work area. The super-sack sandbags are each filled with approximately I cubic yard of sand or gravel with an impermeable plastic liner will be woven through the middle of the sack layers. Siltation curtains will be installed to limit turbidity impacts.Interior walls may be placed within the isolated area into separate smaller areas for a more efficient handling of construction water. Water in the construction area will be diverted to an upland bio-infiltration site where the diverted water cannot reenter Weaver Creek. Hay bales staked and entrenched with a wood stake or rebar will be placed along the low side of the bio- infiltration site to prevent water from re-entering Weaver Creek. This site will be staked infield by the engineer prior to construction. Water diversion techniques will be approved by the project engineer, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the HPA and other required permits. Streambed mix(3 inch minus) will be installed in the stream bed after the culverts have been removed. Turbidity impacts are expected to be short in duration, site specific, and temporary in nature. Since this area has typical low flow during summer, the turbidity impacts will more than likely be confined to the construction area within the sediment control structures, and limited at a maximum to 200 to 300 feet downstream during construction activities. Rewatering the area will be done slowly and according to BMPs. Construction activities will be at low water levels. Since maximum peak velocity is estimated at considerably less than IOcfs in the culvert removal area during the seasonal low flow work window, the maximum amount of sediment transport is not expected to extend any farther than an estimated maximum distance of 300 feet. Work will be conducted during approved work windows during low flow conditions and as approved by all required permits. Noise from construction activities above ambient levels is limited to the working hours between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. In water construction activities are expected to be completed in a maximum of two weeks, staging of equipment may occur JARPA Revision 2012.2 Page 6 of 15 earlier. Typical construction machinery will be used including dump truck, excavator, track hoe and compactor all staged above OHW. No area will be cleared for temporary access, No trees will be removed and machines will not enter the water. After the existing fill from the proposed project site is removed the existing culverts will be removed and disposed of offsite at an approved landfill. Any materials purchased for the proposed project, if required, will come from local quarry. In the unlikely event that historic artifacts are discovered, construction activities will stop and the proper authorities will be notified. Short term construction activities may affect a pool in the project location if one exists, however, habitat will be restored at project completion that will match conditions present at the site for pool frequency and pool quality. Fish removal will be done by dragging nets through the project area, then staking nets above and below the project area, to prevent any possible species from entering the site during construction, or as required by permits. At project completion, sandbags will be removed by hand, and then the bypass pipe, silt fence, and fish screen materials will be removed. Sediment controls will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Upon completion of the project upstream banks will be planted with a native grass/shrub mix.

Describe how the project is designed to avoid and minimize adverse impacts to the aquatic environment. hel ❑ Not applicable Weaver Creek stream flow under the bridge is expected to match the present ecological functions at project completion. No change in hydrology is expected by the result of this project. When the culverts are removed, there will be no effects from backwatering,ponding, and sediment caused by the eroding culverts entering Weaver Creek. Floodplain flows will return to more natural functions. Supersacks will be placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream.All precautions will be taken to avoid exposing Weaver Creek to concrete pouring activities. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. Any water in the construction area will be pumped to an upland bio-infiltration site separated from any source of clean water. Hay bales staked and entrenched with a wood stake or rebar will be placed along the low side of the bio- infzltration site to prevent water from re-entering Weaver Creek. Best Management Practices during construction will protect water quality in Weaver Creekfrom turbidity and other pollutants. Water diversion techniques will be approved by the project engineer, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the HPA and other required permits. At project completion, sandbags used during water diversion will be removed by hand, and then the bypass pipe and silt fence, and fish screen materials will be removed. Rewatering the area will be done according to BMPs. Since maximum peak velocity is estimated at considerably less than IOcfs in the culvert removal area during the seasonal low flow work window, the maximum amount of sediment transport will not reach farther than an estimated maximum distance of 300 feet.

Deyette Road Shelton,WA. 98584 Development Description Identify and describe the proposed project,including the type of materials to be used, construction methods,principle dimensions and other pertinent information. Weaver Creek flows through the McKernan Hatchery where it is used near the hatchery entrance as an in- line rearing pond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end that are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts are located within 30 foot wide ponded area. This project will remove the culverts and replace them with a 42 foot x 12 foot wide bridge with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. The new screen system includes a poured slab, steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearing pond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The new bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water(OHW) in the new in-stream channel. The project below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material. Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge. The fill will come from a local quarry.Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks will placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. It will be pumped to an uplands area where siltation will be filtered to prevent turbid water re-entering Weaver Creek. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settlingpond that is separatedfrom any source of clean water. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks will be planted with willows and a native grass/shrub mix. No clearing of vegetation will be done. The site will be repaved upon completion. Any other areas of disturbed soils will be reseeded. Large rootwad materials will be placed just downstream of the in-line rearing channel to protect the banks of Weaver Creek against erosion and to provide habitat. Disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge willows and native grasses will be planted. Willow cuttings will be placed underneath the bridge. Environmental Application WDFW McKernan Hatchery Culvert Removal and Bridge Replacement Washington State Fish and Wildlife 600 Capitol Way Olympia,WA.98501 The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Best Management Practices during construction will protect water quality from turbidity and other pollutants. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations. All permits will be obtained before construction starts. USE (Identify) current use of property with existing improvements Weaver Creekflows through the McKernan Hatchery where the creek is used near the hatchery entrance as an in- line raring pond. There are two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts at one end of the rearing pond. Maintenance repairs are required to continue hatchery operations in this rearing pond. The damaged culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot long x 12 foot wide bridge with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. Weaver Creek stream flow under the bridge is expected to match the present ecological functions at project completion. No change in hydrology is expected by the result of this project. When the culverts are removed, there at project completion floodplain flows will return to more natural functions. Reason for requesting Development: A maintenance repair is required at the McKernan Hatchery to remove two CMP eroding damaged culverts at the end of an in-line rearing pond in Weaver Creek. This repair will improve hatchery operations,provide a better fish rearing system, and restore the habitat where the culverts are presently located. Fish passage in Weaver Creek will be restored when fish are not being reared in the channel. At project completion Weaver Creek will have a more natural passage of water during flood conditions that will provide relief to nearby floodplain area. Please refer to enclosed JARPA and project drawing for additional details. SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST UPDATED 2014 I � Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: hel This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or "does not apply' only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision- making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: hel For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively.The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects)questions in Part B - Environmental Elements—that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

Attach maps or drawings to clearly illustrate the location, nature, and extent of the proposed work.] Weaver Creekflows through the McKernan Hatchery, where the creek is used near the hatchery entrance as an in-line rearing pond. The rearing pond is 28 to 30 feet wide with a weir at the downstream end and 2 screened culverts at the upstream end, which are frequently backwatered. The two damaged 4 foot x 42 foot CMP screened culverts are located within 30 foot wide ponded area. These culverts will be removed and replaced with a 42 foot x 12 foot wide bridge, with a new removable screen system used to contain juvenile fish during rearing. 3 The new screen system includes a poured slab,steel walkway, screen frame, and removable screens. When fish are not being reared, the screens are removable and the rearing pond will become an open 28-30 foot wide channel and fish passable. The bridge is supported by precast spread footings. The existing walls of the pond will be extended through the footprint of the bridge and used as the bridge abutments. Stream bed material will be placed within Ordinary High Water(OH99 in the new in-stream channel. The project below OHW will have geotextile, ecology blocks, bridge footings and streambed material.Above Ordinary High Water will have backfill crushed rock material, bridge abutments and the new bridge and a bridge walkway. The fill will come from a local quarry. Any excavated material will be disposed of at an approved facility out of the flood plain. Supersacks, two layers high will be placed to isolate the construction area, and water will be rerouted using bypass pipe. Any water exposed to construction activities will not be allowed to reenter the stream. It will be pumped to an uplands area where siltation will be filtered to prevent turbid water re-entering Weaver Creek. Sediment control measures will include careful dewatering, straw mulch, silt fence, and/or straw wattles. During construction, sediment laden water will be pumped into a settling pond that is separated from any source of clean water. Upon completion of the project, upstream banks will be planted with a native shrub mix.No clearing of vegetation will be done. The site will be repaved upon completion.Any other areas of disturbed soils will be reseeded. Disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge native plants will be planted. Willow cuttings will be placed underneath the bridge. Please refer to the project drawings for detailed plant placements. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. Best Management Practices during construction will protect water quality from turbidity and other pollutants. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations.All permits will be obtained before construction starts. G.

Append the applicable "Summary Form for Fish-Passage Design Data"that can be found in the WDFW Culvert Manual ((Bates et al. 2003) Appendix F). See Attached. 2. Append maintenance plan that shows that culvert will be in design condition prior to each fish passage season. Culverts will be removed, but not replaced with additional culverts. A bridge and a walkway will be installed. 3. If your project is in gradients 6— 10 % and abridge is not feasible, use stream simulation option and provide annual monitoring data of substrate, invert elevation, and channel form (elements of roughened channel: boulders, pools, low flow channel) including a picture prior to each migration season. This project will be from 0 -3%grade. Culverts will be removed and abridge and walkway will be installed. No change in grade is expected. 4. If your culvert is longer than 150 feet include tribal comments. If you discussed your design with WDFW, include WDFW comments or a record of your conversation with WDFW. This project will remove two culverts presently on site. The bridge that will be installed is 12 feet wide x 42 feet long. 5. Are you increasing the amount of rip-rap. If so,by how much? No riprap will be used. The project will consist ofplacement of geotextile, ecology blocks, and streambed material below Ordinary High Water. Above Ordinary High Water will be quarry spalls, crushed rock material, bridge abutments, and the new bridge and walkway. 5 6. Describe how proper ecological functions (bedload movement, debris movement, flood flows) in addition to fish passage will be met. The pond is currently backwatered downstream and routinely has a water depth of 0.5 to 2.0 feet and velocities of less than 1 fps to fps. Stream flow under the bridge at project completion is expected to match present ecological functions in Weaver Creek. Floodplain flows will return to more natural functions. 7. If you are increasing the length or width of a road: The roadway over Weaver Creek will not be increased in length or width. A new bridge will replace the current roadway in the same footprint. The width of the pond is approximately 30 feet. The width of the bridge would be a continuation of the pond at 28- 30 feet. a. Quantify the increased impervious surface created as a result of this activity. During excavation and removal of the culverts, earth will be removed, and a bridge placed over Weaver Creek. Less impervious surfaces results with the installation of the bridge. b. List measures that you propose to use to avoid impacts to resources and water quality. The proposed project will restore fish passage in Weaver Creek when fish are not being reared in the channel. No equipment will enter the water. Best Management Practices during construction will prevent water from entering Weaver Creek. Water quality will be protected from turbidity and other pollutants. No waste materials will be discharged into surface water. Construction will be performed during approved work windows, and within permit regulations. Water in Weaver Creek will be temporarily rerouted around the construction area using supersacks and pipes, work will be done in a dry area. Streambed mix will be placed in stream before water is returned to Weaver Creek. No dredging will be done. No wetlands or wetland buffers will be disturbed. Refueling of construction equipment will be done away from the construction area where any spilled materials will not enter the creek. After construction, disturbed soils will be restored with native grass mix. On both sides of the bridge and underneath the bridge, native plants will be planted. Willow cuttings will be planted underneath the bridge. Please refer to the project drawings for plant placements. Measures shall be taken to ensure that no petroleum products, hydraulic fluid,fresh cement, sediments, sediment-laden water, chemicals, or any other toxic or deleterious materials are allowed to enter or leach into waters of the U.S. To the extent feasible, work requiring use of heavy equipment will be completed by working from the top of the bank. If required, stream crossings will be performed at right angle if possible; and. no stream crossings will be performed at spawning sites when spawners are 6 present or eggs or alevins could be in the gravel; and the number of crossings will be minimized. All waste material such as construction debris, silt, excess dirt or overburden resulting from this project will generally be deposited above the limits of floodwater in an upland disposal site. Note: Permanent road improvements that result in increased traffic or development are not permitted under this PBA. This project will not result in increased traffic or development at the McKernan Hatchery. N. Rock grade control structures: How much combined rock is proposed for structures? No rock control grade structures are proposed as a component of this project. O. Removal or modification of sediment bars or terraces: Has there been previous removal of sediment at this location? If yes when and how much? No sediment has been removed at this location previously. P. Side Channel/Off Channel Habitat Creation: 1. Has a reach assessment or analysis been conducted for this project? No. A reach assessment has not been completed for this project. At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. 2 How many years will the project take to complete? This project could take from three to six weeks to complete. 3. Demonstrate sufficient hydrology for a self-sustaining channel. Weaver Creek is at the McKernan Hatchery where fish have been raised in this channel for several years. No change in hydrology is expected by the result of this project. Water will have a more natural flow through the creek after completion. Q. Will you be isolating the work area? [Explain how your decision on working in the wet or dry, or partially isolation the area, will minimize impacts to salmonids.] Yes, the construction area will be isolated by diverting the water through pipes and pumping it to an uplands location where it will enter a settling pond and filtered through straw bales and siltation curtains and natural surfaces before water eventually returns to Weaver Creek. Impacts to salmonids will be minimal because best management practices will be used to protect water quality, as described in 7b (above). Work will be done during approved work windows, and within permit regulations. 7 R. Give a maximum estimate for the duration and length of downstream turbidity impacts. The Services will use this estimate for giving you your take exemption. (During construction you will be monitoring downstream sedimentation every 20 min to verify/refine your given estimate.) Expected water velocity is a slow velocity,from I —3 feet per second. Water in the construction area will be pumped uplands and routed around the site. Construction will be done in dry conditions. Clean washed gravel will be used for placement instream under the bridge, sized specifically for fish spawning. Turbidity could enter Weaver Creek when water is reintroduced to the site at job completion, and during supersack placement and removal. These effects are with a limited duration, temporary, and within approved work windows. Effects are not expected to travel more than 300 feet downstream. S. Explain what equipment will generate noise above ambient levels and for what period during the day and for how many days. Noise will be generated during normal work hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and.from typical construction equipment such as dump trucks, excavator, and track hoe and pickup trucks. Work is expected to take less than three weeks. T. Please attach HPA or explain why you do not need one. The HPA will be obtained before construction work starts. It will be submitted with this application, or as soon as obtained. U. If your project does not meet all of the criteria outlined in the PBA, but is a restoration action of similar scope and impacts, contact the Services with the project's description, conservation measures and reason(s) it may not currently fit under the PBA. Provide below any supporting conversations with NMFS and/or USFWS staff, including a list of the PBA criteria your project won't meet. This is a living document. We are continuously working on refining the proposed/covered actions and conservation measures. This project meets the intent of the Programmatic Biological Assessment of Restoration Actions in Washington State. The project will comply with all general conservation measures of the PBA. The project will comply with all of the conservation measures frequently associated with restoration actions, with the following exceptions: General Conservation measures Section I Pre-Construction/Surveying: (number 5) Page 23 8 • The programmatic requires that no permanent access-ways will be built. This project installs a bridge that will be a permanent access way of a fish rearing area on the grounds of McKernan Hatchery. General Conservation Measures: (Section 1) Page 27 Frequently Associated with some of the Proposed Restoration Actions This project will comply with all of the PBAs conservation measures frequently associated with restoration actions; however, this project does not comply with number 7: Installation of Bank Stabilization Features in all sections (a through g). • This project will use precast concrete ecology blocks under the bridge as a bank stabilization measure commonly required as bridge footings. • After water is diverted away from the construction area, a poured in place cement footing will be placed in Weaver Creek required as a sill for fish screens. The fish screens are amended at the edges with an approved instream gravel mix. This project addresses Weaver Creek habitat degradation caused by instream culvert. Bank stabilization measures to support more natural habitat in Weaver Creek by restoring natural flow patterns. Concrete blocks are not approved as bank stabilization features. This project requires precast concrete blocks underneath the bridge that will be subject to erosion from high water events. Willow cuttings will be planted underneath the bridge, above the bridge foundation to provide habitat during high water events and to prevent erosion. The project will comply with all of the PBA's conservation measures frequently associated with restoration actions, with the only exceptions noted above. Excluded Elements (EAs) This project is not proposing any excluded activities or excluded restoration actions defined as excluded under the PBA. II EFFECT DETERMINATIONS FOR FISH SPECIES USFWS & NMFS Each project should have the appropriate effect determination. The PBA allows for No Effect (NE), Not Likely to Adversely Affect (NLAA), or Likely to Adversely Affect (LAA) determinations for listed species. Each determination must be adequately documented in this form. If you need assistance in determining the appropriate effect determination, consult the Corps, USFWS, and NMFS staff.

YES x If yes, what type of habitat is present? Spawning x Rearing x Migratory Corridor x Not known Go to Question 3. NO If no, the project will have "No Effect" on (insert species). Go to question 5. Notes: The proposed project is in a rural area surrounded by rural residential and agricultural properties. Mason County Skokomish River Compressive Flood Hazard Management (2007)plan states that along much of Weaver Creek and unnamed tributaries in the Valley, the existing riparian zone has been degraded and altered by past pasturing and farming practices. 11 Habitat in the general project location has an 85%overhead cover mixed hardwood and deciduous cover. Weaver Creek has mixed cobble sizes instream, with instream fines present during typical low summer flows. The proposed project will remove two damaged eroding culverts that will restore habitat where the culverts are located. Fish will be able to migrate into a rearing channel within the hatchery without passing through the culverts. Habitat will be restored where the culverts are located with approved instream gravel mix and restorative plantings. Habitat exists at the project location for Chinook and Steelhead for rearing and migration (and possibly infrequent spawning). There is vegetative cover on the banks of Weaver Creek upstream and downstream of the project location including deciduous trees (willow and maple) and herbaceous plants such as willow shrubs grasses, thistle and blackberry. Weaver Creek is characterized by cobble and gravel substrates with moderate depth and flow conditions. Weaver Creek has water input from springs that contribute flow to Weaver Creek near the project location. 3) Approximately how far is the project from the nearest suitable habitat (in river miles, upstream or downstream) for chum salmon, Chinook salmon, Steelhead? Go to question 4. Chum salmon, Hood Canal summer ESU(Oncorhynchus keta), critical habitat is present in the watershed in the lower end of the Skokomish Subbasin and nearest to the proposed project at endpoint (47.3209,-123.2211) approximately one mile NE(overland) in an unnamed stream segment off of the south fork of the Skokomish River. There are possibly (unknown) opportunities for chum to migrate through Weaver Creek, but spawning or rearing opportunities are not believed to be occurring at the project location. Chinook, Puget Sound ESU(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - Critical Habitat for Chinook is in Mason County in the South Fork of the Skokomish River, and up to (4 7.309 7,-123.2384) Weaver Creek Bull trout are present in Mason County in the general watershed region (Skokomish River South Fork). Presence of bull trout at the project location is undocumented. The last end point identified for critical habitat for bull trout is north of the project location in the South Fork of the Skokomish River at 47.425,-123.354. Notes: 4) Does the proposed activity have the potential to alter or affect the following indicators: temperature, sediment, chemical contamination/nutrients, physical barriers, substrate embeddedness, large woody debris, pool frequency, pool quality, off-channel habitat, refugia, wetted width/depth ratio, streambank condition, floodplain connectivity, peak/base flows, drainage network, disturbance history, function of riparian reserves, or disturbance regime? 12 YES x If yes,briefly explain which habitat elements will be affected and indicate if the effects will be short term or long-term. For example, many activities will have increased levels of turbidity during project implementation,but are expected to result in long-term improvements to the target indicators Temperature—short term affects may raise temperature slightly during construction activities but there will be long term improvements to habitat at completion of the project. Sediment-short term affects may raise sediment levels slightly that could reach as far as 100-300 feet downstream, but best management practices will be used and there will be long term improvements at completion of the project. Sediment impacts are temporary short lived and construction related. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Chemical contamination/nutrients-short term affects may disturb levels of substrate that could affect nutrient levels slightly at the project location, but there will be long term improvements at completion of the project. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Physical barriers—This project removes two culverts that are physical barriers to fish passage. Removal of the culverts will be a temporary disturbance to Weaver Creek; however removal of the culverts will provide long term improvements to fish habitat at project completion, because more natural flow and habitat conditions will be restored to Weaver Creek. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Substrate embeddedness-Short term effects from this project may increase temporary impacts to substrate embeddedness at the project location, however, substrate will be replaced at the project location that is representative of the typical substrate in the vicinity of the project location. Fine materials(3 inch minus), will be embedded in the restored substrate that will match typical conditions in the stream bed areas at and around the site providing longterm improvements at project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Lame woody debris—Habitat throughout the project vicinity has large woody debris throughout the natural course of the stream. This project will not disturb any LWD at or near the project location, although there may be some incidental removal of some shrub material, sticks, or grass during project activities. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities, and the area will be restored by planting native plant materials including some willow and native shrub species.At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. Pool frequency-Pool quality- Short term construction activities may affect a pool in the project location (if one exists), however, habitat will be restored at project completion that will complement any existing habitat in the vicinity including restoring the area to match conditions present at the site for pool frequency and pool quality. Removal of the eroding damaged culverts will provide long term improvements at project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Off channel habitat- This project is not in a location considered off channel habitat; however, removal of the culverts will have positive effects on all surrounding habitat areas. Natural flow will be established through the area that is expected to have long term improvements at completion of the project.At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. 13 Re u is-Short term affects will affect some bank areas of refugia near where the culverts will be removed, however, during the expected work window there will be fewer rearing individuals using refugia in the project location. There are expected to be long term improvements to the general habitat in (he area at the completion of theproject. Best management practices will used throughout allproject activities, including replanting the area after project completion with native plant species.At the downstream end of the project, rootwads will be pressed into place with an excavator staged on the bank of Weaver Creek. Wetted width depth ratio—There will be some short term changes to the wetted habitat area during project activities, due to rechanneling the stream in the area and diverting water in the construction area to an uplands area and reestablishing a new channel area at project completion, When the project is completed there will be overall improvements throughout the course of the stream. This project will return the area to more natural wetted width and depth ratio conditions that will provide overall habitat improvement with more normal floodplain functions. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Streambank condition-Short term affects will change the habitat in the immediate project location, by removal of some instream and bank cover, however there are thought to be few individuals present during the approved work window, and restoration plantings will be done with native species that will eventually reestablish stream bank conditions. Long term improvements are expected at project completion. Refer to project drawings for a list of proposed plantings that will eventually restore the area. Floodplain connectivity—This project restores the area by removing the eroding damaged culverts. This will create more natural movement of waters through the stream during flood conditions, and provide relief to the nearby floodplain area. Long term improvements are expected at project completion that will improve floodplain connectivity. Peak-base flows-This project restores the area by removing the eroding damaged culverts to create more natural movement of waters through the stream during flood conditions assisting more natural movement of peak-base flows through the area. Long term improvements are expected at project completion. Drainage network—This project restores the area by removing the eroding damaged culverts to create more natural drainage network of waters through the typical stream flow patterns including flood conditions. This project is expected to provide relief to the nearby floodplain area. Long term improvements are expected at project completion. Disturbance history-Short term affects from water diversion during construction will create short term disturbance history that will affect the micro climates present at the site for native and listed species, however, these communities will reestablish when water is returned to the stream due to restoration activities at the site duringproject completion. There will be long term improvements at completion of the project due to returning the stream to more natural flow patterns. Function of riparian reserves—Restoration plantings in the project area will contribute to the long term improvement of riparian reserves in the area. Function of riparian areas will be maintained at the project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all project activities. Disturbance regime-This project will contribute to the disturbance regime in the area through short term affects due to water diversion, but there will be long term improvements at project completion. Best management practices will used throughout all construction activities. There will be turbidity generated by project activities, however water, (if present) will be diverted through a pipe pumped to an upland location where it will be filtered through hay bales and or straw wattles, and filtered through grassy areas where 14 water will eventually be reintroduced downstream of the construction activities. These Best Management Practices will produce less disturbance from siltation and turbidity to Weaver Creek. NO If no, the project will have "No Effect" on (insertspecies). Go to question 4. Notes: 5) Provide rationale for effect determination Effect Determination: not likely to adversely effect This project diverts Weaver Creek away from its usual course during a time when listed salmonids are not likely to be present. During construction, and the project restores and improves habitat functions provided by the original channel,by restoring fish passage and installing large woody material habitat structures. Listed fish are not expected to be at the project area during approved work windows. Fish removal will be done by moving fish out of the area with nets. This project will be conducted during seasonal low flow conditions. Construction effects will be temporary, of short duration and during approved work windows to avoid impacts to any species that could be present at the site. Restoration activities will remove silted gravel materials along with the culverts, and restore the stream section in this area with approved instream gravel materials. Over time the replanted area will provide cover for migrating and rearing individuals. Steelhead,Coastal/Puget Sound DPS(Oncorhynchus mykiss):not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Chinook,Puget Sound ESU(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Chum salmon,Hood Canal summer ESU(Oncorhynchus keta):not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Critical Habitat,Chinook,Puget Sound ESU(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha):not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Critical Habitat-Chum salmon,Hood Canal summer ESU(Oncorhynchus keta): not likely to adversely affect NLTAA Note: If you are dewatering an area, electroshocking in an area, or are doing major in-water work where listed salmonids are likely to be present during the work window, you will probably have a LAA effect determination. Note: If you are dewatering an area, electroshocking in an area, or are doing major in-water work where listed salmonids are likely to be present during the work window, you will probably have a LAA effect determination.

Fish Capture—General Guidelines 1. Fish Capture Methods a. Minnow traps. Optional. Traps may be left in place prior to dewatering and may be used in conjunction with seining. Once dewatering starts, minnow traps should only be used if there is someone present to check the traps every few hours, and remove the traps once the water level becomes too low. b. Seining. Required. Use seine with mesh of a size to ensure entrapment of the residing ESA-listed fish and age classes. c. Sanctuary dip nets. Required. Use in conjunction with other methods as area is dewatered. d. Electrofishing. Optional. Use electrofishing only after other means of fish capture have been exhausted or where other means of fish capture are not be feasible. Applicants shall adhere to NMFS Backpack Electrofishing Guidelines (NMFS 2000). 2. Fish capture operations will be conducted by or under the supervision of a fishery biologist experienced in such efforts and all staff working with the capture operation must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to ensure the safe handling of all ESA-listed fish. 3. The applicant must obtain any other Federal, State and local permits and authorizations necessary for the conduct of fish capture activities. 4. A description of any capture and release effort will be included in a post-project report, including the name and address of the supervisory fish biologist, methods used to isolate the work area and minimize disturbances to ESA-listed species, stream conditions before and following placement and removal of barriers; the means of fish removal; the number and size of fish removed by species and age class; condition upon release of all fish handled; and any incidence of observed injury or mortality. 5. Storage and Release. ESA-listed fish must be handled with extreme care and kept in water at all times during transfer procedures. The transfer of ESA-listed fish must be conducted using a sanctuary net that holds water during transfer, whenever necessary to prevent the added stress of an out-of-water transfer. A healthy environment for non-ESA listed fish shall be provided by large buckets (five gallon minimum to prevent overcrowding) and minimal handling of fish. The water temperature in the transfer buckets shall not exceed the temperature of cold pool water in the subject stream. Retain fish the minimum time possible to ensure that stress is minimized, temperatures do not rise, and dissolved oxygen remains suitable. Release fish as near as possible to the isolated reach in a pool or area that provides cover and flow refuge. 26 B. Dewater Instream Work Area and Fish Capture Fish screen. Except for gravity diversions that have gradual and small outfall drops directly into water, all water intake structures must have a fish screen installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with NMFS Guidelines (NMFS 1997; Chapter 11 in NMFS 2008). The sequence for stream flow diversion will be: Note: this sequence will take one 24-hour period prior to construction to complete(of which 12 hours are for staged dewatering with 6 hours overnight). We suggest you start in the morning the day before project construction is scheduled and leave the reach dewatered overnight according to instruction below. 1. Install flow conveyance devices (pumps, discharge lines, gravity drain lines, conduits, and channels),but do not divert flow. 2. Install upstream barrier. Allow water to flow over upstream barrier. 3. Install block net at upstream end of work area. Block nets will be checked every 4 hours, 24 hours a day. If any fish are impinged or killed on the nets they will be checked hourly. 4. Reduce flow over upstream barrier by one-third for a minimum of 6 hours. 5. Inspect as discharge is diminishing and in dewatered areas for stranded and trapped fish and remove them with sanctuary dip nets. 6. Reduce flow over upstream barrier by an additional one-third for a minimum of 6 hours. 7. Again, inspect dewatered areas for stranded and trapped fish and remove them with sanctuary dip nets. 8. Leave the project area in a stable, low flow(one third of flow) condition, overnight, allowing fish to leave the area volitionally. 9. In the morning, remove any remaining fish from the area to be dewatered using seines and/or hand held sanctuary dip-nets. 10. Divert upstream flow completely. 11. Install downstream barrier if necessary(only in low gradient, backwatered reaches). 12. If water remains within the work area; seine, dip net, and lastly electrofish (if using this technique), the project area until catch rates have reached no fish for 3 consecutive passes. Move rocks as needed to flush fish and effectively electrofish the work area. 13. If needed, pump water out of isolated pools within the project area to a temporary storage and treatment site or into upland areas and filter through vegetation prior to reentering the stream channel. Continue to seine, dip net and electrofish while pumping. 14. If fish continue to be captured, shut pump off before average water depths reach one foot. Continue to seine, dip net and electrofish until no fish are caught for 3 consecutive passes. 15. Pump dry and check substrate for remaining fish. 16. Continue to pump water from the project area as needed for the duration of the project. The diversion structure is typically a temporary dam built just upstream of the project site with sand bags that are filled with clean gravel or stream/floodplain rock and covered with plastic sheeting. A portable bladder dam or other non-erosive diversion technologies may be used to contain stream flow. Mining of stream or floodplain rock can be used for diversion dam construction if it does not result in significant additional floodplain or stream disturbance. Often gravel has to be moved to key in logs in which case it makes sense to use this gravel for the diversion structure. 27 The temporary bypass system must consist of non-erosive techniques, such as a pipe or a plastic-lined channel, both of which must be sized large enough to accommodate the predicted peak flow rate during construction. In cases of channel rerouting, water can be diverted to one side of the existing channel. Dissipate flow at the outfall of the bypass system to diffuse erosive energy of the flow. Place the outflow in an area that minimizes or prevents damage to riparian vegetation. If the diversion inlet is a gravity diversion and is not screened to allow for downstream passage of fish,place diversion outlet in a location that facilitates gradual and safe reentry of fish into the stream channel. C. Rewater Instream Work Area Remove stream diversion and restore stream flow. Heavy machinery operating from the bank may be used to aid in removal of diversion structures. Slowly re-water the construction site to prevent loss of surface water downstream as the construction site streambed absorbs water and to prevent a sudden increase in stream turbidity. Look downstream during re-watering to prevent stranding of aquatic organisms below the construction site. All stream diversion devices, equipment, pipe, and conduits will be removed and disturbed soil and vegetation will be restored after the diversion is no longer needed. 28 Protocol II Dewatering Outside High Likelihood Listed Fish Areas If bull trout or other listed salmonids are captured at any time during the dewatering process, immediately notify a USFWS bull trout biologist or NMFS biologist and obtain guidance to either continue to dewater and remove fish or stop activities and re-water the project site. Normal guidance: 1. If you encounter listed fish at or prior to step 3 switch to Protocol I 2. If you encounter listed fish after step 3, continue to dewater and remove fish, paying close attention to presence of additional listed salmonids. A. Fish Capture—General Guidelines 1. Fish Capture Methods a. Minnow traps. Optional. Traps may be left in place prior to dewatering and may be used in conjunction with seining. Once dewatering starts, minnow traps should only be used if there is someone present to check the traps every few hours, and remove the traps once the water level becomes too low. b. Seining.

Storage and Release. Fish must be handled with extreme care and kept in water to the maximum extent possible during transfer procedures. A healthy environment for the stressed fish shall be provided by large buckets (five gallon minimum to prevent overcrowding) and minimal handling of fish. The temperature of the water shall not exceed the temperature in large deep holding pools of the subject system. The transfer of any ESA-listed fish must'be conducted using a sanctuary net that holds water during transfer, to prevent the added stress of 29 an out-of-water transfer. Retain fish the minimum time possible to ensure that stress is minimized, temperatures do not rise, and dissolved oxygen remains suitable. Release fish as near as possible to the isolated reach in a pool or area that provides cover and flow refuge. B. Dewater Instream Work Area and Fish Capture Fish screen. Except for gravity diversions that have gradual and small outfall drops directly into water, all water intake structures must have a fish screen installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the NMFS Guidelines (NMFS 1997; Chapter 11 in NMFS 2008). The sequence for stream flow diversion would be as follows: 1. Install flow conveyance devices (pumps, discharge lines, gravity drain lines, conduits, and channels), but do not divert flow. 2. Install block net at upstream end or work area. 3. Seine and dip net through the entire project area in a downstream direction, starting at the upstream end; thereby moving fish out of the project area. Then, if necessary electrofish. 4. Install upstream barrier and divert upstream flow completely. 5. Capture any remaining fish using hand held dip-nets. 6. Install downstream barrier if necessary(only in low gradient backwatered reaches). 7. If water remains within the work area; seine and dip net, if necessary electrofish the project area until catch rates have reached no fish for 3 consecutive passes. 8. Pump water out of isolated pools within the project area to a temporary storage and treatment site or into upland areas and filter through vegetation prior to re-entering the stream channel. Continue to seine, dip net, or electrofish while pumping. 9. If fish continue to be captured, shut pump off before average water depths reach one foot. Continue to seine, dip net, or electrofish until no fish are caught for 3 consecutive passes. 10. Pump dry and check substrate for remaining fish and remove them. 11. Continue to pump water from the project area as needed for the duration of the project.
