Figure 3 Planting Plan Details
Mitigation Planting and Monitoring Plan for Hunter Family
A.Mitigation Plan
Mitigation is required for this site as the proposed structure will be built on a shoreline of statewide
significance and will impact critical habitats.Native plants will be installed along the top of the top of the
bulkhead replacing the grass which continues from the road to the edge of the bulkhead. The planting
plan area can be seen in Figure 1 (planting plan map) and in Figure 2 (photos). Plants will be installed in
a 6 foot by 240 foot area just above the bulkhead. Nootka Roses will be installed at 4 foot centers for
approximately 240 feet skipping the area in front of the proposed structure. Other species will be
interspersed. The plants selected for this site are all native plants that can tolerate salt spray from the
marine environment. They were selected to improve the overall value of the functions in this critical area
buffer. Soil stability,nutrient input,and wildlife habitat were all important factors. Following is a table
showing the plant species and numbers for the planting area. Plants will be selected from a regional
native plant nursery.
Plant List
Quantity Botanical Name Common Name Size
36 Rosa Nutkana Nootka Rose 2 Gal
4 Holodiscus discolor Oceanspray 2 Gal
8 Ribes sanguineumRed-Flowering Currant 2 Gal
6 Vaccinium ovatum Evergreen Huckleberry 2 Gal
12 Leymus mollis Dunegrass 1 Gal
10 Gaultheria shallon Salal ] Gal
Plants should be installed in late fall or early spring following the construction work. During these times
plant are semi-dormant and soils are easier to work.Plants will be laid out by hand generally following
the spacing specified on the planting plan map(Figure 1). The plants will be installed by digging a one to
two foot hole, loosening the soil,placing the plant in the ground after loosening soil around the root ball.
The hole must be deep enough to ensure the roots are straight,but not so deep as to bury plants too far
above the root collar. Once the plant is in place,the hole will be backfilled and tamped lightly.Mulch
should be applied 3"deep around plants,being careful not to touch the stem of the plant.No
extraordinary measures are proposed at this time to protect installed plants other than mulching,weeding
and watering. Substitutions might be necessary for species or individuals that cannot be found at local
nurseries. All plant substitutions will be approved by the project biologist prior to installation to ensure
their suitability for the site.
L
B.Performance Standards
Performance standards are measurable criteria for determining if the goals and objectives of the
mitigation project are being achieved. If the proposed benchmarks are not achieved by comparing the
surveys to the mitigation goals,then contingency plans will need to be implemented.
Performance Standard#1 (survival rate): Immediately after planting, all plants will be counted and
documented. At the end of each growing season(late Aug-early Sept)plots will be visited and a count of
surviving plants will be documented. The percent survival for the plots will be calculated by dividing the
total number of plants after planting by the total number of surviving plants at the end of the season.
Photo stations for the replanting site will be determined and a photograph of each transplant location will
be taken on an annual basis. Individual plants that die must be replaced with native species I order to
meet the survival performance standards.
Performance Standard#2 (percent cover): The percent cover standard will be monitored by looking at
each monitoring unit of the enhanced areas from above and estimating the area covered by the individual
species. The percent cover within an area can be quantified as a total greater than 100%because plants
(in tree,high/low shrub and herbaceous layers)overlap uncover.
C.Monitoring Plan
An as-built drawing and report will be submitted as documentation of the implementation of the approved
planting plan within one month of installation.The plan will include vegetation description and photo
documentation from established photo stations.A panoramic photo of the entire mitigation site will also
be provided. Photos should be taken June—August,during the growing season.Monitoring will take
place over a period of five years at the end of the growing season(late August or early September) of
each monitoring year. The performance standards will be monitored by measuring plots in zones within
the planting area that will be established and mapped after planting occurs, on the as-built plan. There
will be photo points for each plot and they will be referenced on the as-built plan. Each year, the photo
points established at each site will be used for comparison.Photos will be taken at all points for all years
as visual documentation of the performance standard's progress, or lack thereof. In addition to photos at
designated points,photo documentation must include a panoramic view of the entire planting area.
Submitted photos must be formatted on standard 8 '/2"by 11"paper, dated with the date the photo was
taken and clearly labeled with the direction from which the photo was taken. The photo location points
must be identified on an appropriate drawing..Collected data and photos will be compiled into an annual
Riparian Planting Report each year and submitted by November 30 of each monitoring year for five
years.Each annual monitoring report shall include written and photographic documentation on plant
mortality and replanting efforts and must document whether the performance standards are being met.
Monitoring results will determine whether or not contingency measures will be needed.
Performance Standards#1 & 2
Year 1:Achieve 100%survival success of replanted natives into mitigation areas.
Year 2:Achieve 100%survival success at end of second year into mitigation areas.
Year 3:Achieve 80%survival success at end of third year into mitigation areas.
Year 4: Achieve 80%survival success at end of fourth year into mitigation areas.
Year 5: Achieve 80%survival success at end of into mitigation areas.
D.Maintenance and Contingency
Maintenance shall occur at least twice during the growing season to ensure the survival of all native
species within the mitigation area, including volunteer natives.Watering by hand or sprinkler may be
necessary during year number one until the plants are established. Water requirements will depend on the
timing of planting with the seasons and weather conditions. Once plants are established, extra watering
may not be necessary. Hand weeding will be necessary around all plants that are being monitored to
ensure survival and coverage. If the required rate is not met by the end of any monitoring year,plants lost
to mortality will be replaced to achieve the percentage cover called for in the performance standard
described above. Prior to replacement, an appropriate assessment will be performed to determine if the
survival was affected by species/site selection, animal damage, or some other factor. Subsequent
contingency actions must be designed to respond directly to the stressor(s),which are increasing
mortality of planted native species. If a particular species is shown not to endure site conditions then
another,more appropriate species will be selected. If excessive damage is observed,protective measures
will be introduced.Monitoring years may be added if significant replanting becomes necessary.
Monitoring on an annual basis for five years will occur with photographs to determine the survival rate of
the transplanted area. If 100% success is achieved during the first two years or 80% success rate during
the last three years,monitoring will continue without extra replanting efforts. Within the five year time
period,transplanting will occur on an annual basis to replace any plants that are lost until 80%success is
achieved.

Attachment 1. Habitat Survey
A SCUBA survey was done September 9a',2013,a sunny day,from approximately 2:OOPM to 4:30 PM at the
project site.Nam Siu and Dave Campbell used SCUBA to run eleven transects to identify flora,fauna, substrate
types and other qualitative information relative to the pier,ramp,and float,as well as mooring buoy proposed in
this project.Water visibility was approximately 10'.The eleven transects(T1-T11)were all parallel and oriented
approximately at right angles to the rock bulkhead.These transects generally ran east to west and were generally
oriented 2900 Magnetic North.The transects were arranged from south to north(T1 to T11)and were generally
separate from each other by 1Oft with the exception of T1 and T11 which were separated from T2 and T10 by 15ft
respectively.

Attachment 5. Essential Fish Habitat Assessment
A.Background
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act(MSA),as amended by the Sustainable
Fisheries Act of 1996(Public Law 104-267),requires Federal agencies to consult with NMFS on activities that
may adversely affect designated Essential Fish Habitat(EFH)for the relevant species.According to the MSA,EFH
means"those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning,breeding,feeding,or growth to maturity."For
the Pacific West Coast,the Pacific Fisheries Management Council(Council)has designated EFH for federally
managed groundfish(PFMC 1998a),coastal pelagic(PFMC 1998b)and Pacific salmon fisheries(PFMC 1999).
Species of fish in the three groups present in the Puget Sound at various times in their life-history phases are seen
in the table at the end of the Assessment.
The purpose of the EFH Assessment is to determine the effects of the proposed project on the EFH for the relevant
species and to recommend conservation measures to avoid,minimize of otherwise offset adverse effects on EFH.
B. Identification of EFH
The designated EFH for groundfish and coastal pelagic species encompasses all waters from the mean high water
line,and upriver extent of saltwater intrusion in river mouths,along the coasts of Washington,Oregon and
California,seaward to the boundary of the U.S.exclusive economic zone(370.4 km)(PFMC 1998a, 1998b).The
designated EFH in estuarine and marine areas for salmon species extends from the nearshore and tidal submerged
environments within state territorial water out to the full extent of the exclusive economic zone(370.4 km)
offshore of Washington,Oregon and California north of Point Conception to the Canadian border(PFMC, 1999).
C.Proposed Action To construct a joint-use pier,ramp and float on Hood Canal.
D.Effects of the Proposed Action
The project may have temporary adverse effects on EFH designated for groundfish,coastal pelagic fish and Pacific
salmon(chinook,coho and Puget Sound pink salmon)due to noise and turbidity impacts from pile driving.
E.EFH Conservation Measures
A work window will be implemented to minimize any possible adverse effects to EFH. In addition,grating will be
installed to minimize shading impacts.
F.Conclusion
The project may have temporary adverse effects on EFH for groundfish,coastal pelagics and Pacific salmon,but
will not adversely affect EFH for groundfish,coastal pelagic fish and Pacific salmon(chinook,coho and Puget
Sound pink salmon)in the long term.

Attachment 6. Assessment of Impacts to Critical Habitat
for Puget Sound Chinook and Hood Canal Summer-run Chum
Project description: Construct a joint-use pier,ramp and float on Hood Canal
Applicant: Hunter Family Farm LTD Partnership and James&Joan Hunter.
COE reference:NWS-2015-239
NMFS reference: unknown at this time
The primary constituent elements determined essential to the conservation of salmon and steelhead are:
(1)Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity and quality conditions and substrate supporting
spawning,incubation,and larval development.
Existing Conditions: Does not apply-the project is in the marine environment
Effects to PCE:None
(2)Freshwater rearing sites with water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form and maintain physical
habitat conditions and support juvenile growth and mobility;water quality and forage supporting juvenile
development;and natural cover such as shade,submerged and overhanging large wood,logjams and
beaver dams,aquatic vegetation,large rocks and boulders,side channels,and undercut banks.
Existing Conditions: Does not apply-the project is in the marine environment
Effects to PCE:None
(3)Freshwater migration corridors free of obstruction with water quantity and quality conditions and
natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood,aquatic vegetation,large rocks and boulders,
side channels,and undercut banks supporting juvenile and adult mobility and survival.
Existing Conditions: Does not apply-the project is in the marine environment
Effects to PCE: None
(4)Estuarine areas free of obstruction with water quality,water quantity and salinity conditions supporting
juvenile and adult physiological transitions between fresh-and saltwater;natural cover such as submerged
and overhanging large wood,aquatic vegetation,large rocks and boulders,and side channels,and juvenile
and adult forage,including aquatic invertebrates and fishes,supporting growth and maturation.
Existing Conditions: There is documented surf smelt spawning at the site.There is no submerged large
wood at the site.There is no woody debris on the beach.There are no side channels at the site.There is
some large riparian vegetation along to the shoreline.
Effects to PCE: Pile driving will produce brief and localized increased turbidity within 25'of each piling.
The project will have no impacts on water quantity,salinity conditions or water temperature.Shading
impacts on the benthic environment will be minimized by installed grating in the structure.Grounding
impacts will be prevented by float stops and stud piles.

Assessment of Impacts to Critical Habitat for Coastal - Puget Sound Bull Trout
COE reference: NWS-2015-239
Applicant: Hunter Family Farm LTD.Partnership and James&Joan Hunter.
The primary constituent elements determined essential to the conservation of bull trout(Salvelinus confluentus)
are:
(1)Water temperatures that support bull trout use.Bull trout have been documented in streams with temperatures
from 32 to 72°F(0 to 22 °C)but are found more frequently in temperatures ranging from 36 to 59°F(2 to 15°C).
These temperature ranges may vary depending on bull trout life history stage and form,geography,elevation,
diurnal and seasonal variation,shade,such as that provided by riparian habitat,and local groundwater influence.
Stream reaches that preclude bull trout use are specifically excluded from designation.
Existing Conditions: The project is in a marine environment-Hood Canal.
Effects to PCE:Not applicable
(2)Complex stream channels with features such as woody debris,side channels,pools,and undercut banks to
provide a variety of depths,velocities,and in-stream structures.
Existing Conditions: See 1 above
Effects to PCE: See 1 above
(3)Substrates of sufficient amount,size and composition to ensure success of egg and embryo overwinter survival,
fry emergence,and young-of-the year and juvenile survival.This should include a minimal amount of fine
substrate less than 0.25 in(0.63 cm)in diameter.
Existing Conditions: See 1 above
Effects to PCE: See 1 above
(4)A natural hydrograph,including peak,high,low,and base flows within historic ranges or,if regulated,
currently operate under a biological opinion that addresses bull trout,or a hydrograph that demonstrates the ability
to support bull trout populations by minimizing daily and day-to-day fluctuations and minimizing departures from
the natural cycle of flow levels corresponding with seasonal variation:This rule finds that reservoirs currently
operating under a biological opinion that addresses bull trout provides management for PCEs as currently operated.
Existing Conditions: See 1 above
Effects to PCE: See 1 above.
(5)Springs,seeps,groundwater sources,and subsurface water to contribute to water quality and quantity as a Cold-
water source.
Existing Conditions: See 1 above
Effects to PCE: The project will have no impacts on springs,seeps,groundwater sources or subsurface water at
the site.
(6)Migratory corridors with minimal physical,biological,or water quality impediments between spawning,
rearing,overwintering,and foraging habitats,including intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by high water
temperatures or low flows.
Existing Conditions:There is documented surf smelt spawning at the site.There is no submerged large wood at
the site.There is no woody debris on the beach.There are no side channels at the site.There is some large riparian
vegetation along to the shoreline.
Effects to PCE:The project has been designed to minimize impacts on foraging and migratory habitat.Grating
will decrease the shading impacts on the benthic environment.Work windows will minimize impacts migrating
bull trout.

(7)An abundant food base including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin,aquatic macro invertebrates,and
forage fish.
Existing Conditions: See 6 above.
Effects to PCE: See 6 above.
(8)Permanent water of sufficient quantity and quality such that normal reproduction,growth and survival are not
inhibited.
Existing Conditions: See 1 above
Effects to PCE: See 1 above
Conservation Measures: See"E.Conservation Measures"in the BE.
Determination of Effect: no destruction or adverse modification

Attachment 8. Bocaccio, Canary and Yelloweye Rockfish
The project is located in Hood Canal which contains proposed nearshore critical habitat for juvenile canary and
bocaccio rock fish.The proposed pier,ramp and float will be located in water that is less than 30 meters deep.
Therefore,yellowfish proposed critical habitat will not be affected by this project.
The Primary Constituent Elements(PCEs)are as follows:
1.Quantity,quality and availability species to support growth,survival,reproduction,and feeding opportunities.
Existing Conditions:The predominate substrate is peagravel.Cobble and barnacles for the first 150' from the
bulkhead,with peagravel,sand and cobble being the main substrate out to 170'. In the area where the structure will
be located,there is no kelp.There is some S. latissima at densities of 10%beginning approximately 45' seaward of
the float. Sand is suitable forage habitat for juvenile canary and bocaccio rockfish,but the kelp at the site is located
seaward of the float location.
Effects to PCE:The presence of the structure will not affect the small percentage of S. latissima present in deeper
water.
2.Water quality,quantity and sufficient levels of dissolved oxygen to support growth,survival,reproduction and
feeding opportunities.
Existing Conditions: Low oxygen(Category 5)was reported in the area where the project is located in the DOE
Marine Water Quality Assessment 303(d)listing for 2012.
Effects to PCE: Pile driving could cause brief turbidity within 25' of each piling resulting in a temporary decrease
in water quality.
Determination of Effect: May affect,not likely to adversely affect critical habitat for juvenile canary and �
bocaccio rockfish.

Federal Project Number:_NWS-2015-239
Applicant:Hunter Family Farm LTD.Partnership and James&Joan Hunter
Project Description:
The project consists of building a new joint-use pier,ramp and float structure on Hood Canal(Figure 1).The
structure will consist of a 6'by 50'pier with 100%grating,a 4'by 40'aluminum fully grated ramp,an 8'by 30'
main float and an 8' by 14'"finger"float.
The pier and ramp will be 100%grated.The 8'by 30' float will have 58%functional grating and the 8' by 14'
"finger"float will have 54%functional grating.Float stops and 2 stud pilings will prevent the floats from
grounding out.
Four galvanized steel pilings(8"diameter)will support the pier structure.The floats will be attached to four 10"
diameter galv.steel pilings(Figures 2-5).The pilings will be driven to refusal with a drop hammer.A 6"thick
wooden block will be used to attenuate the pile driving noise.
Six galvanized steel pilings(8"diameter)will support the pier structure.The ramp float will be attached to two
galvanized steel pilings(8"diameter). The"T"float will be attached to six galvanized steel pilings. See Figures 2-
4. The pilings will be driven to refusal with a drop hammer.A 6"thick wooden block will be used to attenuate the
pile driving noise.
