Both neighboring parcels support homes. The majority of the waterfront property in the neighborhood has been developed with single-family residences;however,a substantial percentage of the shoreline in the Harstene Pointe gated community is unarmored. WRIA 14 features an extensive network of low-elevation, low-gradient streams that are dependant on precipitation and groundwater for flow but has no major rivers. The majority of the fresh and marine waterbodies in WRIA 14 suffer from water quality issues. Case Inlet is fisted on the state's 2004 Water Quality 303(d)-5 list of impaired waterbodies for the following parameters: fecal coliform,total PCB's,and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. The latter is a plasticizer used in the manufacture of PVC. It can be assumed that besides inorganic and organic pollutants, the existing environmental conditions in the area have been degraded by deforestation, shellfish aquaculture,and other anthropogenic changes that accompany urbanization. III. Effects of the Action A. Direct Effects Direct effects are the immediate effects of the project on the listed species and their habitats (FWS&NMFS 1998). The direct effect to the project site will be the construction of a rock bulkhead in an area that is Critical Habitat for one previously discussed salmonid species. Direct effects to the shoreline along Case Inlet include the alteration of littoral(intertidal)habitat from the placement of quarry spalls and large angular rock on the beach. Temporary direct effects caused by the proposed project include: 1)Sedimentation and/or siltation,and turbidity in Case Inlet. 2)Noise. 3)Water pollution from incidental release of fuel, oil,or other contaminants. 4)Damage done to the shoreline during the construction process. 1)Disturbed substrate from the installation of the rock bulkhead may result in increased turbidity and sedimentation and/or siltation,which might effect the migration of juvenile sahnonids along the shoreline by creating a temporary barrier in the littoral zone. Juvenile salmonids are mobile, so it is possible that they will avoid the area of disturbance and not be impacted. Salmonids have been observed to move laterally and downstream to avoid turbidity plumes(Sigler et al. 1984, Lloyd 1987, Scannell 1988). Gregory and Northcote(1993)suggested that turbidity could be used as a protective cover by juvenile salmon. As previously discussed,BMP's will be strictly adhered to during construction in order to maintain the present water quality of Case Inlet and prevent runoff and pollution. In order to further minimize the adverse effects,the proposed new bulkhead project will not take place between March 1 Sth and June 14th,when juvenile salmonid migration activity is high,or between July 1 and March 31,when surf smelt may be spawning (except within forty-eight hours after the location is inspected by an approved fisheries biologist to determine that no spawning has recently occurred). 2)The main source of construction noise will be the operation of heavy equipment. The project site is located in a rural residential neighborhood,so it is expected that the noise from heavy equipment will not be more excessive than noise normal to the neighborhood. 3)Potential water pollution from accidental release of fuel,oil,or other contaminants is another possible temporary direct effect. As previously discussed,Spill Prevention Control measures and BMP's shall be implemented during the proposed project. Todd Habitat Management Plan 13 4)A fourth possible temporary direct effect is damage done to the shoreline during the construction process. The grounding of the barge and movement of the track excavator in the upper intertidal area will cause some beach substrate disruption. As previously discussed,to reduce this type of impact the WDFW's construction requirements shall be strictly adhered to. Temporary direct effects caused by the construction process include noise; increased sedimentation and turbidity in Case Inlet due to runoff from disturbed substrate;potential water pollution from accidental release of fuel,oil, or other contaminants;and damage done to the shoreline during the construction process. B. Indirect Effects Indirect effects are those effects that are caused by or will result from the proposed action and are later in time,but are still reasonably certain to occur(50 CFR 402.02). Indirect effects from this proposed project include: 1)possible scouring and steepening of the beach in front of the new hard-armored section of shoreline. 2)the loss of shoreline vegetation. 3)A reduction in the accumulation of large drift logs on the beach. 4)the potential preservation of forage fish habitat. 1)When waves reflect off shoreline armoring structures,particularly concrete or other types of flat-faced bulkheads,they can cause scouring and hardening of the substrate. The sediment in front of a bulkhead will gradually become coarser as wave action and littoral drift removes the finer sediment and there is no sediment available for replenishment because it is impounded behind the bulkhead(Macdonald et al. 1994). Hard-armored bulkheads cut off sediment that was once available to feed the beach,thus adversely affecting natural beach-forming processes. Impoundment of sediment landward of the bulkhead can also result in potential loss of forage fish spawning habitat and a reduction in the amount of available shallow water habitat that juvenile salmonids rely on for food or cover(including eelgrass beds),although the Pentec Report(2003) reveals that the amount of eelgrass present along the open shoreline appears to be independent of the degree of shoreline modification. The proposed rock bulkhead will be located landward of MH14W and the ordinary high water line. Bulkheads located landward of MHHW cause fewer beach impacts than those at or below MHHW. Unlike concrete or wood bulkheads,the uneven surface and irregular form of a rock bulkhead is expected to dissipate some of the energy from wave action and lessen the previously discussed detrimental effects associated with hard-armoring. In addition,at least four pieces of large woody debris shall be anchored to the beach to further dissipate wave energy and create habitat for numerous species. As per the WDFW's HPA provisions,appropriate sized surf smelt spawning gravel shall be spread along the bulkhead face. A recent King County beach accretion study revealed that toe erosion did not occur at bulkheaded sites,except in rare cases where very low or failing bulkheads allowed toe erosion to occur (Johannessen,MacLennan,and McBride 2005). The same study also found that,while mass wasting events were fairly common where the bluffs were not bulkheaded,slides occasionally occurred at bulkheaded areas(with debris extending over the bulkhead and onto the beach in some cases). A cluster of recent slides between Mukilteo and Picnic Point that was within the BNSF railroad revetment area, indicate that bluffs remain unstable and are subject to mass wasting,even though the bluffs have been armored for approximately 110 years(Johannessen, MacLennan,and McBride 2005). Todd Habitat Management Plan 14 This empirical evidence seems to confirm that the function of a bulkhead is to protect the toe of the bankibluff from erosion due to wave action and not to act as a retaining wall. Therefore,the presence of a bulkhead at the proposed project site will only help to insure that no further mass wasting occurs due to toe erosion. Small slides may continue to spill over the top of the new bulkhead and feed the beach until erosion eventually moderates the angle of the bluff face, allowing adequate vegetation to become established. It should be noted that a majority of bulkhead impact studies appear to have been conducted in coastal areas(Atlantic Ocean)where the energy from wave action has the potential to be much stronger than in the sheltered waters of Puget Sound, so it seems reasonable to expect that the indirect effects of erosion and sediment impoundment would be less pronounced in Puget Sound. In fact,Puget Sound receives little to no swell from the eastern Pacific Ocean;waves are generated locally by wind and consequently have limited fetch and low energy compared with incident waves on the Pacific Coast(Finlayson 2006). Most Puget Sound beaches exhibit a composite profile with a narrow,steep foreshore,and a low-gradient,"low-tide"terrace (Finlayson 2006). In the South Sound,the sea floor of the inlets is not significantly deeper than the terrace platform; in these locations the lower nearshore grades gently into the sea floor without a significant break in slope(Finlayson 2006). Therefore,since the South Sound lacks the deeper troughs that characterize coastal waters and other parts of Puget Sound, it seems possible that sediments may be permanently available to the nearshore. This gives rise to two interesting hypothetical questions:are sediments in South Sound being re-circulated,and, if so, do sediment contributions from feeder bluffs represent natural fill? Clearly, more research is needed on the geomorphology of South Puget Sound beaches. 2)Another indirect/direct effect is the loss of vegetation directly landward of the bulkhead,due to the presence of quarry spalls and filter fabric. Without the quarry spalls and filter fabric the bulkhead would lose strength and integrity. Sediments would filter through and it would eventually collapse. Native shrubs with the potential to provide shade,organic matter,and terrestrial insect prey for salmonids shall be planted immediately landward of the filter fabric along the length of the frontage and on the bank where feasible. 3) Shoreline armoring can also limit the accumulation of large drift logs on the beach,as large woody debris is less likely to accumulate on beaches that have steepened due to the presence of a bulkhead(Macdonald et al. 1994). Large woody debris provide detrital input,food sources,and potential refuge for migrating juvenile salmon. As previously discussed,at least four pieces of large woody debris shall be anchored to the beach. 4)Empirical evidence suggests that by impounding sediments such as clay or cobble that do not constitute suitable forage fish spawning habitat,bulkheads sometimes act to create or preserve such habitat. A five year monitoring study of the reconstructed Redondo Seawall in King County revealed that the bulkhead created a depositional area where sand settled out and covered cobble in two of three sampling transects that were previously dominated by cobble(Shannon and Taylor 2003). The study concluded that the reconstructed wall does not appear to effect the documented spawning of surf smelt and that it may contribute to the previously undocumented spawning of Pacific sand lance in the area(Shannon and Taylor 2003). Another possible indirect effect is that the presence of a bulkhead at the proposed project site could preserve forage fish spawning habitat by lowering the probability of a large mass-wasting event that could bury the beach under tons of substrate and organic debris. A large slide could result in the permanent loss of beach and an alteration of the substrate from sand and gravel(sand lance and surf smelt spawning material)to predominantly cobble. Since shoreline buffers act to Todd Habitat Management Plan 15 filter out pollutants before they enter a water body,a mass-wasting event might also have serious water quality implications. In 2006,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported that excessively high sediment loads can smother submerged aquatic vegetation beds,cover shellfish beds and tidal flats,fill in riffle pools,and contribute to increased levels of turbidity and nutrients. However,there are few research results that can be used to identify levels below which streambank and shoreline erosion is beneficial and above which it is a nonpoint source pollution problem(USEPA 2006). C. Cumulative Effects Cumulative effects are defined as"those effects of future state or private activities,not involving Federal activities,that are reasonably certain to occur within the action area of the action subject to consultation"(50 CFR 402.02). Cumulative impacts are difficult to access. Continued growth and urbanization is likely to detrimentally impact fish and wildlife resources. Global warming could raise the water level of Puget Sound,leaving many waterfront properties underwater. Over-fishing may deplete stocks of salmon,even as restoration of habitat in the watershed furthers their likelihood of survival. D. Take Analysis Section 9 of the ESA prohibits take of endangered or threatened species,"take"being defined in Section 3 as to harass,harm,pursue,hunt,shoot,wound,trap,capture,or collect listed species,or attempt to engage in any such conduct. "Harm"is further defined as a significant habitat modification or degradation that actually kills or injures listed species by"significantly impairing behavioral patterns such as breeding, spawning,rearing,migrating, feeding,and sheltering"(50 CFR 222.102). "Harass"is further defined as an intentional or negligent act which creates the likelihood of injury to wildlife by annoying it to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns which include,but are not limited to,breeding,feeding,or sheltering(50 CFR 17.3). In regards to the proposed project and the existing development activities,it is extremely unlikely that any "take"will occur. The following conservation measures(some previously discussed)will further insure the likelihood that no"take"will occur. E. Conservation Measures 1. No Construction to take place during the prohibited work window between March 15 and June 14th, for the protection of juvenile salmonids,or between July 1 and March 31,when surf smelt may be spawning(except within forty-eight hours after the location is inspected by an approved fisheries biologist to determine that no spawning has recently occurred). 2. The WDFW's common saltwater technical provisions(WAC 220-110-270)to be strictly adhered to. Todd Habitat Management Plan 16 3. Previously discussed BMP's to be strictly adhered to. 4. At least four existing pieces of large woody debris shall be anchored to the beach (both perpendicular and parallel to the bulkhead face)to replicate natural conditions. 5. Peagravel(1/16 to inch)to be spread along the toe of the bulkhead to provide sand lance and surf smelt spawning habit,as per the HPA provisions from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. 6. Manmade debris on the beach shall be removed from the site. 7. Following construction,native shrubs shall be planted landward of the bulkhead's filter fabric and quarry spalls. Recommended species include the following: vine maple(Acer Circinaturm),evergreen huckleberry(Faccinium ovatum),thimbleberry (Rubes parviflorus),oceanspray(Holodiscus discolor), salal(Gaultheria shallon), and sword fern(Polystichum munitum). F. Determination of Effect A determination of May affect, not likely to adversely affect is the appropriate conclusion when effects on the species or their critical habitat are expected to be beneficial,discountable,or insignificant. After reviewing the appropriate data and survey information,I have concluded that the proposed project will have an insignificant impact on the previously discussed Endangered or Threatened species if the previously discussed conservation measures are implemented. In my most honest and professional opinion,while the proposed project may impact individual Endangered or Threatened species in the project area,it is not likely to adversely affect or jeopardize the continued existence of those species or their designated Critical Habitat. The determination of effect for each of the listed species is: 1. Puget Sound Chinook and their designated Critical Habitat Nay affect, not likely to adversely affect. 2. Puget Sound Steelhead--May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 3. Leatherback turtle and their designated Critical Habitat No effect. 4. Humpback whale—No effect. 5. Killer whale and their designated Critical Habitat---May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 6. Steller sea lion and their designated Critical Habitat--May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 7. Bull trout and their designated Critical Habitat--May affect, not likely to adversely affect. 8. Marble murrelet and their designated Critical Habitat--May affect, not likely to adversely affect.
