This is limited to a 50-foot reach of the outer To offset impacts associated with the bank armor within the stream buffer,it is recommended that bend of the channel. the mitigation zone be enhanced with native plants. It is recommended that potted plants be used as opposed to bare mot seedlings. The following plant species and potted sizes are recommended: 6.3 Enhancement Recommendations The portion of the stream buffer that is proposed for bank armoring is occupied by exposed soil, Trees: western red cedar(Thuja plicata)-2 gallon with little native vegetation. To compensate for the proposed bank armoring within the stream Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga menziesit)-2 gallon buffer,it is recommended that a ten-foot wide strip of the buffer,adjacent to the stream bank be enhanced with native vegetation. The ten-foot wide strip extends the entire length of the stream Shrubs: Oregon grape (Mahonia nervosa)-1 gallon buffer adjacent to the bank armoring addressed in this plan(approximately 50 feet),and will be salal(Gaultheria shallon)—I gallon identified as the Enhancement Zone. The Enhancement Zone is currently occupied by flat,open evergreen huckleberry(Vaccinium ovatum)-gallon grass area. A moderately dense forested and shrub community within this specified open area is nootka rose(Rosa nutkana)—I gallon likely to improve upland stabilization,and riparian habitat.The area selected as the Enhancement salmonberry(Rubus spectabilis)—1 gallon Zone occupies approximately 500 square feet of the stream buffer.

A minimum of 1 tree species and five shrub or fern species from the above list are recommended. ,- trees-10'on center shrubs-5'on center These densities will provide a moderately dense,structurally diverse plant community within the t' Y mitigation zone.To fulfill the above mentioned planting density recommendation,the mitigation zone will be planted with a total of 5 trees and 15 shrubs. It is recommended that installation be done as single trees and or clusters of three shrubs,on approximate 10-foot centers.Finally,sword fern can be randomly installed as desired throughout the planting row on average four-foot centers. Any volunteer native vegetative species may be counted toward target densities. Photo 3. Representative portion of proposed Enhancement Zone Typically,planting should occur during winter dormancy.

PARCEL 1230941-90072 HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN ry,, 82 NE Miller Road Belfair,Washington 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The details of a Habitat Management Plan for the above referenced property are discussed in full in 'r't'-+• k :a,.p�, 'E ° this report. The site is found in the SW'/4 of Section 20 Township 23 North,Range 1 West along the Union River(See Figure 1.Site Vicinity Map). The purpose of this Habitat Management Plan(HMP)is to address proposed bank armoring along a 50-foot portion of the right bank of the Union River,which is regulated as a type S stream. All _ type S streams in Mason County require 150 feet of undisturbed buffer with an additional 15-foot building setback. The proposed armoring is intended to quickly and efficiently prevent additional bank erosion towards an existing SFR located in proximity to the eroding bank. If the proposed portion of the stream bank is not stabilized,it is likely that future flood events will erode the bank and cause the course of the river to further threaten the SFR. There are two possible methods for constructing the wall depending on the landowner's final preference. This HMP is intended to address both options. w:. The first option is that the armoring be done as two walls separated by a terrace at mid elevation. The lower wall would be constructed along the landward edge of the Ordinary High Water Mark Photo 1.Representative portion of project area. (OHWM)and be 4'in height. The second wall will be constructed approximately 4'in height and located approximately 4'landward of the lower wall. The terrace separating the two walls would be planted with native vegetation. The walls would be constructed out of 3-4 man rock. 2.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION While the first option may be the most ideal, the overall cost associated with earthwork may The subject parcel is 2.23 acres in size,bordered to the south by a residential property of similar exceed the amount budgeted for the project. Therefore the second option would be to simply size,and the north by NE Miller Road and a separate residential property.

Approximately half of the wall. This would require far less earthwork and grading. property has been managed for residential and recreational use which includes a SFR, coveted parking, vacation cabin, and landscaping. Unmanaged portions of the site are occupied by The objectives of this HMP are as follows: moderately dense mature stands of western red cedar, bigleaf maple, and Douglas fir, with a common understory dominated by salmon berry,sword fern,and various willow species. ■ To evaluate the potential adverse effects to critical area fimctions as well as fish and wildlife habitat resulting from the proposed bank armoring within the Type S stream buffer. Emphasis is placed on the possible loss of habitat for any listed species found to be residing in the vicinity of the parcel.

An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instructions for Applicants: Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. 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. There is a fee required, for the processing of the checklist, see above for the appropriate fee. Please make your check payable to "Mason County Treasurer". A. BACKGROUND 1.

Applicant Signature: Date: Mason County SEPA Checklist 10 ESA LISTED SALMONIDS CHECKLIST This worksheet was designed to help project proponents, and government agencies, identify when a project needs further analysis regarding adverse effects on ESA (Endangered Species Act) listed salmonids. Salmonids are salmon, trout and chars, e.g. bull trout. For our purposes, "ESA Listed Salmonids" is defined as fish species listed as endangered, threatened or being considered for listing. If ESA listed species are present or ever were present in the watershed where your project will be located, your project has the potential for affecting them, and you need to comply with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if the ESA listings will impact your project. The Fish Program Manager at the appropriate Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) regional office can provide information for the following two questions. 1. Are ESA listed salmonids currently present in the watershed in which your project will be located? YES NO ) . Please describe. 2. Has there ever been an ESA listed salmonid stock present in this watershed? YES NO /' Uncertain Please describe. If you answered "yes" to either of the above questions, you should complete the remainder of this checklist. PROJECT SPECIFICES: The questions in this section are specific to the project and vicinity. 1. Name of watershed: 2. Name of nearest waterbody: 3. What is the distance from this project to the nearest body of water: Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a negative impact to fish. 4. What is the current land use between the project and the potentially affected water body (parking lots, farmland, etc.)? 5. Is the project above a: * natural permanent barrier (waterfall) YES— NO * natural temporary barrier(beaver pond) YES_ NO * man-made barrier(culvert, dam) YES_ NO-fi- • other (explain): 6. If yes, are there any resident salmonid populations above the blockage? YES NO C Don't know _ 7. What percent of the project will be impervious surface (including pavement& roof area)? Mason County SEPA Checklist 11 FISH MIGRATION: The following questions will help determine if this project could interfere with migration of adult and juvenile fish. Both increases and decreases in water flows can affect fish migration. •1. Does the project require the withdrawal of: a. Surface water? YES_ NO X Amount Name of surface water body 0't\'x0 er b. Ground water? YES_ NO Amount ______—_` — -- From where Depth of well 2. Will any water be rerouted: YES _ NO If yes, will this require a channel change? 3. Will there be retention or detention ponds? YES_ NO If yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a surface discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a surface water body? If to a surface waterbody, please give the name of the waterbody. YES_ NO 4. Will this project require the building of new roads? YES_ NO Increased road mileage may affect the timing of water reaching a stream and may impact fish habitat. 5. Are culverts proposed as part of this project? YES_ NO 6. topography 9 Will changes affect the duration/direction of runoff flows.? YES NO_ � If yes, describe the changes. 7. Will the project involve any reduction of the floodway or floodplain by filling or other partial blockage of flows? YES_ NO If yes, how will the loss of flood storage be mitigated by your project? WATER QUALITY: The following questions will help determine if this project could adversely impact water quality. Such impacts can cause problems for listed species. Water quality can be made worse by runoff from impervious surfaces, altering water temperature, discharging contaminants, etc. 1. Do you know of any problems with water quality, in any of the streams, within this watershed? YES— NO If yes, describe. Mason County SEPA Checklist 12 2. Will your project either reduce or increase shade along or over a waterbody? YES_ NO '�, If yes, describe. Removal of shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or floats often results in a change in shade. 3. Will the project increase nutrient loading or have the potential to increase nutrient loading or contaminants (fertilizers, other waste discharges, or runoff) to the waterbody? If yes, describe. YES NO 4. Will turbiditybe increased because of construction of the project or during operation of the project? P J 9 P P 1 YES_ NO In-water or near water work will often increase turbidity. 5. Will your project require long-term maintenance, i.e. bridge cleaning, highway salting, and chemical sprays for vegetation management, clearing of parking lots? YES_ NO_4_ If yes, please describe. VEGETATION: The following questions are designed to determine if the project will affect riparian vegetation, thereby, adversely impacting salmon. 1. Will the project involve the removal of any vegetation from the stream banks: YES _ NO If yes, please describe the existing conditions, and the amount and type of vegetation to be removed. 2. If any vegetation is removed, do you plan to re-plant? YES NO— If yes, what types of plants will you use? C' �aAr The above answers are true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the lead agency is relying on them to make its decision. Applicant Signature: Date: Z_ Mason County SEPA Checklist 13
