Part 6—Project Description
6a. Summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6d. h[ eM
This project would replace a culvert on an unnamed stream where it crosses the Grapeview Loop Road
at Mile Post 2.8 in eastern Mason County. The existing culvert is only 33% passable to salmonids and
aquatic species due to the culvert not being countersunk (no streambed material in pipe), is not
backwatered, and is a slope barrier based on WDFW's level A culvert analysis (slope greater than 1%).
The existing 36-inch diameter x 91-ft long pre-cast concrete culvert will be replaced with a 14-ft x 10-ft x
180-ft three sided concrete culvert. Replacement of the culvert would provide access to 0.5 miles of
stream and a 0.5 acre open-water pond. In order to complete the culvert replacement with reduced
impacts to listed fish and water quality, isolation of the work site is necessary. A cofferdam bypass will
be constructed and all fish within work zone will be captured and released upstream of action area.

JARPA 2010 v1 3/30/2010 Paqe 5 of 15
• Indicate which activities are within the 100-year flood plain.
The project will replace a 36-inch diameter x 91-feet long pre-cast concrete culvert with a 14-ft wide x 10-
ft x 180-ft long three side pre-cast concrete culvert. The new culvert has been designed to meet
WDFW's fish passable criteria using the "No-Slope" design. The existing fill (25-ft deep) will be removed
with an excavator working from a position along the roadway. Approximately 900 cubic yards of
material will be removed from below OHWL. The old culvert will be removed and a bed constructed for
the new culvert. Approximately 270 cubic yards of streambed gravel matching that of the natural
streambed will be installed through the new culvert. The skew of the new culvert will shift 28-degrees
from the existing culvert to restore the natural alignment of the original stream corridor. The trench
containing the new culvert will be backfilled with gravel. A rock wall consisting of large 4-man angular
rock will be constructed as wing-walls to prevent possible erosion of road fill material around the newly
installed culvert. The rock wall will be approximately 6-feet in height; the fill material will be sloped at a
1.5 to 1 ratio from the top of the constructed rock wall to the roadway surface and shoulder. Crushed
gravel will be placed on top of the fill for a roadway base-course and topped with asphalt for a driving
surface.
Because isolation of the work site is necessary to prevent silt from entering the cove, Mason County
Public Works, is conservatively proposing the installation of a temporary water barrier to prevent any
tidal flows from entering the worksite during construction. This temporary water barrier will provide for
the most reliable water exclusion. This will eliminate siltation potential from tidal influence below
MHHW twice per day (High Tide) during project construction to a single occurrence following the final
removal of the temporary water barrier. Any incoming water within the work area will be pumped around
using a 4-inch trash pump. Silted discharge water will be pumped to a location for treatment prior to
return of"waters of the state". Ultimately, the dewatering and isolation of work site plan will be
developed and executed by the successful project bidder. Mason County Public Works has provided an
engineered design included in the permit design.
The temporary water barrier will be installed by first placing geotextile fabric on the surface of the
ground in the area affected by the installation. The temporary water barrier will be approximately 53-ft
long x 20-ft wide x 6-ft high and constructed using 4-inch minus angular rock (quarry spalls).
Approximately 61 cubic yards of fill below MHHW will be placed. Following the temporary water
barrier's removal, its 4-inch minus angular rock will be used as fill material above OHWL in construction
of the replacement culvert.
Please refer to enclosed drawings for construction details.

6f. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. heI
The existing culvert is only 33% passable for adult trout due to water velocity and is a slope barrier
based on WDFW's level A culvert analysis (slope greater than 1%). In order to complete the culvert
replacement with reduced impacts to listed fish and water quality, isolation of the work site is
necessary. A cofferdam bypass will be constructed and all fish within work zone will be captured and
released downstream of action area.

Specific Project Information Form
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, Regulatory Branch
July 29, 2008 version
Use this form to notify the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District(Corps) of a proposed
restoration project that falls within the range of the nine restoration activities considered by National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) during its Section
7 of the Endangered Species Act(ESA) consultation (NMFS Reference No. 2008/03598; USFWS
Reference No. 13410-2008-F-0209). You may also use this form if your project slightly deviates from
the description and scope of the nine project categories addressed in this consultation. However,
should the resulting impacts exceed those considered in the NMFS and USFWS Biological Opinion
you will need to consult individually(which generally takes longer) and potentially provide additional
information. The Corps is responsible, in most cases, for ensuring that a project complies with the

F. Description of the proposed work: [Describe the work to be accomplished including purpose,
number and type of structures to be installed or constructed, construction materials and
machinery to be used, and anticipated construction techniques to be employed. You may attach
additional pages or, if completing this form by computer, expand the space below to provide
this information. Attach maps or drawings to clearly illustrate the location, nature, and extent
of the proposed work.]
The project will replace a 36-inch diameter x 91-feet long pre-cast concrete culvert with a
14-ft wide x 10-ft x 180-ft long three side pre-cast concrete culvert. The new culvert has
been designed to meet WDFW's fish passable criteria using the"No-Slope" design. The
existing fill (25-ft deep)will be removed with an excavator working from a position along
the roadway. Approximately 900 cubic yards of material will be removed from below
OHWL. The old culvert will be removed and a bed constructed for the new culvert.
Approximately 270 cubic yards of streambed gravel matching that of the natural
streambed will be installed through the new culvert. The skew of the new culvert will
shift 28-degrees from the existing culvert to restore the natural alignment of the original
stream corridor. The trench containing the new culvert will be backfilled with gravel. A
3
rock wall consisting of large 4-man angular rock will be constructed as wing-walls to
prevent possible erosion of road fill material around the newly installed culvert. The rock
wall will be approximately 6-feet in height; the fill material will be sloped at a 1.5 to 1
ratio from the top of the constructed rock wall to the roadway surface and shoulder.
Crushed gravel will be placed on top of the fill for a roadway base-course and topped with
asphalt for a driving surface.
Because isolation of the work site is necessary to prevent silt from entering the cove,
Mason County Public Works,is conservatively proposing the installation of a temporary
water barrier to prevent any tidal flows from entering the worksite during construction.
This temporary water barrier will provide for the most reliable water exclusion. This will
eliminate siltation potential from tidal influence below MHHW twice per day (High Tide)
during project construction to a single occurrence following the final removal of the
temporary water barrier. Any incoming water within the work area will be pumped
around using a 4-inch trash pump. Silted discharge water will be pumped to a location
for treatment prior to return of"waters of the state". Ultimately,the dewatering and
isolation of work site plan will be developed and executed by the successful project
bidder. Mason County Public Works has provided an engineered design included in the
permit design.
The temporary water barrier will be installed by first placing geotextile fabric on the
surface of the ground in the area affected by the installation. The temporary water
barrier will be approximately 53-ft long x 20-ft wide x 6-ft high and constructed using 4-
inch minus angular rock (quarry spalls). Approximately 61 cubic yards of fill below
MHHW will be placed. Following the temporary water barrier's removal, its 4-inch
minus angular rock will be used as fill material above OHWL in construction of the
replacement culvert.
This project will restore natural streambed material transport functions to the stream
and provide passage to all life stages of fish.
Please refer to enclosed drawings for construction details.
G. Project timing:
Start date Summer 2012 Start Date In-water Work July 15th
End date Fall 2012 1 End Date In-water Work September 31st
H. Anticipated cubic feet per second (CFS) of stream at time of construction:
Determination using USGS information indicates a 2-yr peak flow event of 13.8 CF/S.
I. How much area do you propose to clear for temporary access?
All work will be completed from existing county road, no temporary access is needed.
4
J. How many trees and what sizes will be felled for temporary access?
No trees will be felled for temporary access.
K. Will your temporary access traverse across slopes steeper than 30%?
n/a
L. How many temporary stream crossings do you propose? List all best management
practices (BMPs) proposed to avoid and minimize impacts from stream crossings.
n/a
M. Culvert replacements:
1. Append the applicable "Summary Form for Fish-Passage Design Data"that can be found in
the WDFW Culvert Manual ((Bates et al. 2003)Appendix F).
2. Append maintenance plan that shows that culvert will be in design condition prior to each
fish passage season.
The culvert will be monitored during high flow events every year for the life of the
culvert. Routine culvert maintenance may be necessary for the life of the culvert.
3. If your project is in gradients 6— 10 % and a bridge is not feasible, use stream simulation
option and provide annual monitoring data of substrate, invert elevation, and channel form
(elements of roughened channel: boulders,pools, low flow channel) including a picture
prior to each migration season. n/a
4. If your culvert is longer than 150 feet include tribal comments. If you discussed your
design with WDFW, include WDFW comments or a record of your conversation with
WDFW. n/a
5. Are you increasing the amount of rip-rap. If so,by how much?
The amount of increase in rip-rap will be approximately 4.12 cubic yards below
OHWL.
6. Describe how proper ecological functions (bedload movement, debris movement, flood
flows) in addition to fish passage will be met.
This project has been designed in accordance with WDFW's manual,2003 Design of
Road Culverts for Fish Passage, as such all ecological functions includingnatural
g � g
streambed material transport will be met.
7. If you are increasing the length or width of a road:
a. Quantify the increased impervious surface created as a result of this activity.
Approximately 1,765 sq. ft. of new impervious surface area.
b. List measures that you propose to use to avoid impacts to resources and water quality.
The new roadway is constructed with a super elevation that forces all water to the
north side of the road (upstream end of culvert). A constructed berm along the road
shoulder will route surface water toward Murray Rd North and into a culvert and
filtered through drainage rock.
Note: Permanent road improvements that result in increased traffic or development are not
permitted under this PBA.
5
N. Rock grade control structures: How much combined rock is proposed for structures?
n/a
O. Removal or modification of sediment bars or terraces: Has there been previous removal of
sediment at this location? If yes when and how much?
n/a
P. Side Channel/Off Channel Habitat Creation: n/a
1. Has a reach assessment or analysis been conducted for this project?
2 How many years will the project take to complete?
3. Demonstrate sufficient hydrology for a self-sustaining channel.
Q. Will you be isolating the work area? [Explain how your decision on working in the wet or
dry, or partially isolation the area,will minimize impacts to salmonids.]
The work area will be isolated. In doing so, aquatic life will be relocated out of the work
area to a safe location upstream of work zone.
R. Give a maximum estimate for the duration and length of downstream turbidity impacts.
The Services will use this estimate for giving you your take exemption. (During
construction you will be monitoring downstream sedimentation every 20 min to verify/refine
your given estimate.)
Downstream turbidity will only occur during construction of cofferdam bypass and
return of water through the work area prior to project completion. The impact is
expected to be temporary in duration and minor in impact.
1
S. Explain what equipment will generate noise above ambient levels and for what period
during the day and for how many days.
Heavy equipment used in routine construction projects will be used. This equipment may
potentially include; Compactor,Excavator,Dump Truck, Backhoe,Roller, and Crane.
T. Please attach HPA or explain why you do not need one.
The Joint Aquatic Resource Permit Application (JARPA)is attached.
U. If your project does not meet all of the criteria outlined in the PBA, but is a restoration
action of similar scope and impacts, contact the Services with the project's description,
conservation measures and reason(s)it may not currently fit under the PBA. Provide
below any supporting conversations with NMFS and/or USFWS staff,including a list of
the PBA criteria your project won't meet. This is a living document. We are continuously
working on refining the proposed/covered actions and conservation measures.

Protocol I Dewatering Within High Likelihood Listed Fish Areas
A. Fish Capture—General Guidelines
1. Fish Capture Methods
a. Minnow traps. Optional. Traps may be left in place prior to dewatering and may be
used in conjunction with seining. Once dewatering starts,minnow traps should only be
used if there is someone present to check the traps every few hours, and remove the
traps once the water level becomes too low.
b. Seining. Required. Use seine with mesh of a size to ensure entrapment of the residing
ESA-listed fish and age classes.
c. Sanctuary dip nets. Required. Use in conjunction with other methods as area is
dewatered.
d. Electrofishing. Optional. Use electrofishing only after other means of fish capture have
been exhausted or where other means of fish capture are not be feasible. Applicants
shall adhere to NMFS Backpack Electrofishing Guidelines (NMFS 2000).
2. Fish capture operations will be conducted by or under the supervision of a fishery biologist
experienced in such efforts and all staff working with the capture operation must have the
necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to ensure the safe handling of all ESA-listed fish.
3. The applicant must obtain any other Federal, State and local permits and authorizations
necessary for the conduct of fish capture activities.
4. A description of any capture and release effort will be included in a post-project report,
including the name and address of the supervisory fish biologist,methods used to isolate the
work area and minimize disturbances to ESA-listed species, stream conditions before and
following placement and removal of barriers; the means of fish removal; the number and size
of fish removed by species and age class; condition upon release of all fish handled; and any
incidence of observed injury or mortality.
5. Storage and Release. ESA-listed fish must be handled with extreme care and kept in water at
all times during transfer procedures. The transfer of ESA-listed fish must be conducted using a
sanctuary net that holds water during transfer,whenever necessary to prevent the added stress
of an out-of-water transfer. A healthy environment for non-ESA listed fish shall be provided
by large buckets (five gallon minimum to prevent overcrowding) and minimal handling of fish.
The water temperature in the transfer buckets shall not exceed the temperature of cold pool
water in the subject stream. Retain fish the minimum time possible to ensure that stress is
minimized, temperatures do not rise, and dissolved oxygen remains suitable. Release fish as
near as possible to the isolated reach in a pool or area that provides cover and flow refuge.
20
B. Dewater Instream Work Area and Fish Capture
Fish screen. Except for gravity diversions that have gradual and small outfall drops directly into water,
all water intake structures must have a fish screen installed,operated, and maintained in accordance
with NMFS Guidelines (NMFS 1997; Chapter 11 in NMFS 2008).
The sequence for stream flow diversion will be:
Note: this sequence will take one 24-hour period prior to construction to complete(of which 12 hours
are for staged dewatering with 6 hours overnight). We suggest you start in the morning the day before
project construction is scheduled and leave the reach dewatered overnight according to instruction
below.
1. Install flow conveyance devices (pumps, discharge lines, gravity drain lines, conduits, and
channels),but do not divert flow.
2. Install upstream barrier. Allow water to flow over upstream barrier.
3. Install block net at upstream end of work area. Block nets will be checked every 4 hours,24
hours a day. If any fish are impinged or killed on the nets they will be checked hourly.
4. Reduce flow over upstream barrier by one-third for a minimum of 6 hours.
5. Inspect as discharge is diminishing and in dewatered areas for stranded and trapped fish and
remove them with sanctuary dip nets.
6. Reduce flow over upstream barrier by an additional one-third for a minimum of 6 hours.
7. Again, inspect dewatered areas for stranded and trapped fish and remove them with sanctuary
dip nets.
8. Leave the project area in a stable, low flow (one third of flow) condition, overnight, allowing
fish to leave the are volitionally.
9. In the morning, remove any remaining fish from the area to be dewatered using seines and/or
hand held sanctuary dip-nets.
10. Divert upstream flow completely.
11. Install downstream barrier if necessary(only in low gradient,backwatered reaches).
12. If water remains within the work area; seine, dip net, and lastly electrofish (if using this
technique),the project area until catch rates have reached no fish for 3 consecutive passes.
Move rocks as needed to flush fish and effectively electrofish the work area.
13. If needed,pump water out of isolated pools within the project area to a temporary storage and
treatment site or into upland areas and filter through vegetation prior to reentering the stream
channel. Continue to seine, dip net and electrofish while pumping.
14. If fish continue to be captured, shut pump off before average water depths reach one foot.
Continue to seine, dip net and electrofish until no fish are caught for 3 consecutive passes.
15. Pump dry and check substrate for remaining fish.
16. Continue to pump water from the project area as needed for the duration of the project.
The diversion structure is typically a temporary dam built just upstream of the project site with sand
bags that are filled with clean gravel or stream/floodplain rock and covered with plastic sheeting. A
portable bladder dam or other non-erosive diversion technologies may be used to contain stream flow.
Mining of stream or floodplain rock can be used for diversion dam construction if it does not result in
significant additional floodplain or stream disturbance. Often gravel has to be moved to key in logs in
which case it makes sense to use this gravel for the diversion structure.
21
r
The temporary bypass system must consist of non-erosive techniques, such as a pipe or a plastic-lined
channel,both of which must be sized large enough to accommodate the predicted peak flow rate
during construction. In cases of channel rerouting,water can be diverted to one side of the existing
channel.
Dissipate flow at the outfall of the bypass system to diffuse erosive energy of the flow. Place the
outflow in an area that minimizes or prevents damage to riparian vegetation. If the diversion inlet is a
gravity diversion and is not screened to allow for downstream passage of fish,place diversion outlet in
a location that facilitates gradual and safe reentry of fish into the stream channel.
C. Rewater Instream Work Area
Remove stream diversion and restore stream flow. Heavy machinery operating from the bank may be
used to aid in removal of diversion structures. Slowly re-water the construction site to prevent loss of
surface water downstream as the construction site streambed absorbs water and to prevent a sudden
increase in stream turbidity. Look downstream during re-watering to prevent stranding of aquatic
organisms below the construction site.
All stream diversion devices, equipment,pipe,and conduits will be removed and disturbed soil and
vegetation will be restored after the diversion is no longer needed.
22
Protocol 1I Dewatering Outside High Likelihood Listed Fish Areas
If bull trout or other listed salmonids are captured at any time during the dewatering process,
immediately notify a USFWS bull trout biologist or NMFS biologist and obtain guidance to either
continue to dewater and remove fish or stop activities and re-water the project site.
Normal guidance:
1. If you encounter listed fish at or prior to step 3 switch to Protocol I
2. If you encounter listed fish after step 3, continue to dewater and remove fish, paying close
attention to presence of additional listed salmonids.

channels), but do not divert flow.
2. Install block net at upstream end or work area.
3. Seine and dip net through the entire project area in a downstream direction, starting at the
upstream end; thereby moving fish out of the project area. Then, if necessary electrofish.
4. Install upstream barrier and divert upstream flow completely.
5. Capture any remaining fish using hand held dip-nets.
6. Install downstream barrier if necessary(only in low gradient backwatered reaches).
7. If water remains within the work area; seine and dip net, if necessary electrofish the project
area until catch rates have reached no fish for 3 consecutive passes.
