Project Name: Taylor Shellfish Fudgepoint Geoduck Farm(Taylor) Parcel No. 12007-31-70000 Dear Ms.Cooper: After review of your submitted Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application(DARPA)form dated February 7,2011, the County concludes that the proposed geoduck operation on marine tidelands in Case Inlet does not constitute development under the Mason County Shoreline Master Program and does not appear to 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.

Sig' a re�:>' a, Date: Taylor Shellfish Intertidal Geoduck Culture Project Overview— Fudge Point (Scott) Property Taylor Shellfish in cooperation with other geoduck growers in the State of Washington developed Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOP). We believe this will help us and other growers develop practices that avoid,minimize or mitigate potential environmental impacts. See attached ECOP. This application is for the activities associated with the intertidal culture of geoduck on privately leased tidelands located in Totten Inlet in parts of Section 7,Township 20 North, Range 1 West,W.M., all in Mason County. Geoduck seed produced in a hatchery is used for planting on private tidelands. The seed are approximately 5-15 mm in size when transported from the hatchery or nursery for planting. Currently, geoduck seed is planted in 6"PVC pipe cut in approximately 9"lengths. A length of pipe is worked into the substrate in the intertidal zone from approximately the -4.5 to +2.5 tidal elevation(MLLW). The pipes are spaced about 12"apart. Approximately 3-4"of the PVC pipe is left above the substrate. Generally 3-4 geoduck seed are planted in each pipe. Juvenile geoduck must grow and dig to a depth adequate to evade predation(depth refuge). To help the young clams evade predators, nets are placed over the tops of the PVC pipe, either as one large, single net or individual net caps. After young geoduck have dug to an adequate depth to evade predation, usually within 12-15 months, the tubes are removed. A large cover net is placed over the farm for one to several months until the young geoduck have adapted to having no predator protection. Because of the low tidal elevations that geoducks are planted, visibility of the PVC pipes will only occur approximately 5%of the daylight hours over a 6-year crop cycle. Access will be from the water by boat. No upland access to farm site is planned. Harvest occurs when the geoduck reach a marketable size which in most areas occurs within 5-7 years. Harvest is conducted using a hydraulic wand that uses water to loosen the substrate around the individual geoduck. The individual geoduck is then gently pulled up out of the hole by hand and packed for transport by barge to an upland processing facility. Most of the harvest will occur at low tide (85%)with the remaining harvest occurring at high tide by divers.
