Project Name: SGl Geoduck Farm #1. Parcel No. 12131-23-70050. Dear Mr. Gibbons: After review of your submitted Joint Aquatic Permit Application (JARPA) form, Mason County concludes that the proposed geoduck operation, on marine tidelands on Case Inlet, does not constitute development under the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and does not cause substantial interference with the normal public use of the water (AGO 2007 No. 1). Therefore, a Substantial Development Permit is not required nor a letter of Shoreline Exemption. Mason County has determined that the proposed geoduck farm is consistent with the Mason County Shoreline Master Program Policies and Use Regulations for Aquaculture and the Shoreline Management Act. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Sincerely, Grace Miller, Planner DEPT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1 , y�AT rt Ny %L Lf RECEIVED JAN 2 8 2016 426 W. CEDAR ST. November 20,2015 Mason County,Dept of Community Development Planning Division PO Box 279 Shelton WA 98584 Attention:Grace Miller Reference: New aquatic farm JARPA Application Dear Grace, Accompanying this letter is the application for a new aquatic geoduck farm that is located in the tidelands of Harstine Island just north of Harstine Island State Park off Yates Road. The JARPA include figures and photos of the proposed project area. The Squaxin tribe has already surveyed this site and a cultural resource assessment was conducted in preparation for submittal to the USACE. The tideland owner is Second Growth LLC and the managers are Richard and Russell Scott. At this time we are not submitting a biological evaluation with this application as we are expecting that the services,NOAA and National Marine Fisheries,may be shortly issuing a programmatic biological evaluation that will be acceptable to the USACE in lieu of individual BE's. In any case if an individual BE is required it will be essentially identical to other BE's submitted for farms now permitted by Mason County and the USACE. We respectfully request that Mason County review this JARPA and attachments without a submitted BE for this application. If there are questions about this application please contact me.

Describe how you plan to construct each project element checked in 6d. Include specific construction methods and equipment to be used. h • Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody. • Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain. Access to the farm is by water only. Seattle Shellfish owns and operates a number of boats for crew transport as well as barges for the transportation of equipment to and from the farm site. Boats are generally equipped with 200 HP 4 stroke outboard engines. Boats are kept at safe speeds and operate in compliance with the Marine Mammal and Endangered Species Act to assure that marine mammal harassment will not occur. Equipment barges are moved to the farm site using company boats and are temporarily anchored at the site during various farming task sequences. General equipment includes culture tubes, nets, hand tools, baskets and other general planting and maintenance tools commonly found on geoduck farms. All materials are either returned to the barge or used in the farming process. The farming process generally consists of site preparation, culture tube and area net placement, geoduck seed placement and maintenance, which take place throughout the growth period and harvest. Site preparation consists of removal of natural and manmade debris (e.g., sticks and driftwood). If sand dollars are located in areas where culture tubes will be placed, they will be relocated to an area outside of the farmed area but within the parcel where survival is possible. There may also be areas where Ulva (Sea Lettuce) is present that requires removal to an area outside the planting site. Juvenile geoducks are typically seeded into culture tubes by hand during appropriate low tides or by divers at higher tides. Seeding takes an average of 5 days per acre during the months of April to November when water and air temperature and abundant food supply will allow for rapid burrowing into the substrate. Geoducks are protected from predators by culture tubes. Culture tubes are usually 4 to 6 inches in diameter and 10 inches long and are pushed into the substrate leaving 3-4 inches showing. Typically these tubes are made from thin walled PVC pipe or mesh material. Culture tubes also have affixed a small mesh net for predator exclusion that is secured with a UV resistant rubber band. These small nets and rubber bands are attached at the company's upland facility in Shelton. Each acre has the capacity for placement of 43,000 culture tubes, or one tube per square foot. After culture tubes are in place, area nets that are 40 ft X 40 ft are placed over the tubes and firmly secured to the substrate with U shaped rebar at 3 to 5 ft intervals to ensure that nets stay anchored and prevent tubes from being dislodged or escaping into the marine environment. Nets have a mesh size of to 1". About 27 area nets are used for each acre of culture tubes. All tubes are marked and nets tagged with Seattle shellfish identification. When tubes are no longer needed, usually after 18-24 months, nets are taken up and tubes are removed from the site for cleaning and future use. Routine patrols (1-4 days per month) will check for displaced tubes and inspections will be made on nets for tears. Tears are repaired with plastic cable ties and rebar stakes are inspected for security. All tubes, fouled or damaged netting, and debris are gathered for placement onto company equipment for return for cleaning or proper disposal. Harvest of market-sized geoducks occurs approximately 5-7 years after planting. Harvesting could take place in dry conditions during low tides or by divers when the farm is inundated. Harvesting takes place using water pressure fed through a 1-2 inch diameter hose then through a '/2 inch to 5/8" diameter nozzle that is directed into the substrate near the geoduck siphon for animal removal. The pressure at the nozzle is approximately 40 pounds per square inch and the volume is approximately 20 gallons per minute. Pumps for the hoses will be run by small internal combustion engines mounted on the work barge. Engines and pumps are enclosed and insulated, with sound attenuating exhausts. Water intake lines on the pumps are fitted with screens that meet NMFS screening criteria to prevent entrainment of fish. The collected harvest is manually packaged and loaded onto boats for transport. Harvest days are dependant on crop density, crew size, and market demands but generally may take anywhere from 30 to 50 days per acre based on a single harvest crew. Following harvest the area will be replanted. JARPA Revision 2012.2 Page 6 of 16 6f. What are the anticipated start and end dates for project construction?
