Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. n[UI J See attached engineering drawings and the preliminary engineering report for the project. This project will remove fill from the estuary in Hood Canal and re-establish 7.3 acres of estuarine wetlands that has been lost. The project includes the construction of 2,530 feet of distributary channels, 1,200 feet of graveled beach, and several large woody debris habitat structures. 6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. nei The Union River Estuary and Lynch Cove nearshore surrounding the 96 acre Klingel/Beards Cove project site (see Lynch Cove Ownership Map) provide vitally important habitat to juvenile salmon of ESA-listed stocks from the Union River, as well as other south Hood Canal rivers, such as the Skokomish and Tahuya. These include Chinook and summer chum stocks from the top of the recent HCCC stock rankings, including the #1-ranked Skokomish Chinook, and the #8-ranked Union River summer chum. Historically, the site provided nearshore, salt-marsh and side-channel habitat and maintained connectivity among the habitats surrounding it (see 1884 T-sheet). However, the tidal area of a portion of the site was filled in c. 1973; in preparation for the building of Beards Cove Community Organization (BCCO) recreation facilities (see 1973 Construction Aerial and T Sheet with Current Conditions). This once-vital habitat area is no longer available to the ESA-listed salmon stocks that need it, and creates a migration barrier disrupting connectivity among the subestuarine habitat surrounding it (HCCC Summer Chum Salmon Recovery Plan, p. 218). The HCCC Summer Chum Salmon Recovery Plan specifically cites the removal of this barrier as a recommended action (p. 230). The Mid Hood Canal Chinook Recovery Planning Chapter cites the filling of subestuaries as a key habitat factor for both Chinook and summer chum recovery, and that "the key habitat factors for summer chum are directly applicable to Chinook habitat recovery strategy" (p. 19). The overall Klingel/Beards Cove project area includes a restoration site, a 7 acre Conservation Easement Donation area, and Great Peninsula Conservancy's (GPC) Klingel Restoration, completed in 2011 (restoration site and 2011 Klingel Restoration shown on attached Restoration Site Map; Conservation Easement Donation shown on Lynch Cove Ownership and Conservation Easement Donation Maps). The completed Klingel Restoration project (partially funded by SRFB/RCO—#05- 1602), removed a dike and flood-gates, and restoring 16 acres of salt-marsh habitat as well as 1,400 feet of side-channels. This 2011 project and the currently-proposed restoration abut, with a portion of the 2011 project occurring within the GPC-owned tax parcel comprising most of restoration site. The 7-acre Conservation Easement Donation area abuts the southwestern side of CPC's Klingel Preserve, filling a gap between the permanently protected Klingel Preserve and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)-preserved estuarine habitat surrounding the overall Klingel/Beards Cove project area on three sides. The restoration site currently hosts a recreation area for BCCO, including a road, parking area, a derelict swimming pool, bathhouse, trailer, utilities, septic system, covered picnic area and swing-set. The 3.9 acre recreation area is surrounded on three sides by a 14.9 acre parcel owned by Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC). The fill site extends over roughly 7.3 acres of GPC, BCCO, and WDFW lands, displacing tidal marsh habitat and disrupting connectivity among salt marsh habitat areas to the east, under WDFW ownership and GPC's recently restored Klingel Wetland Preserve to the southwest. The restoration portion of this proposed project will remove fill, structures, infrastructure, and invasive plants; return grade to historic conditions prior to 1973 fill; restore historic side channels; plant appropriate native species; and restore connectivity among the vital estuarine and nearshore habitats preserved by GPC and WDFW to the east and west of the project, The JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 5 of 16 approximately 2 acre BCCO-owned portion of the fill area, that the restoration will submerge, will also be purchased and permanently protected by GPC as part of this project (cite attached Restoration Site Map, Preliminary Grading Plan Design, Baseplan with Existing Site Conditions, and Site Condition Photos). The surrounding Lynch Cove estuarine wetlands have been the focus of three decades of conservation work by local land trusts, the Pacific Northwest Salmon Center, state agencies and the local school district, adding up to over 650 acres of preserved sub-estuarine, nearshore, riparian, and adjacent upland habitat (see Lynch Cove Ownership Map). The restoration of the BCCO site and the preservation of the Conservation Easement Donation fill the last remaining gaps in a full 1.7 miles of u nbroken estuarine habitat alongthe northern shore of Lynch Cove that will be preserved in perpetuity. 6c.

CEDAR ST. associates, Inc. Monday, February 02, 2015 Alan Borden Mason County Shoreline Planner 411 North 5t" Street Shelton, WA 98584 Subject: Shoreline Permit for the Beards Cove Estuary Restoration Project. Dear Alan, The Beards Cove Estuary Restoration Project has been funded and we are preparing to proceed to construction this summer. Critical to the construction schedule for this project is the issuance of a shoreline exemption by Mason County Department of Community Development. The entire purpose of this project is to restore the shoreline of Lynch Cove in Hood Canal and add extremely valuable estuarine habitat that will promote the survival of salmon (summer chum) fry in the Union River estuary. The following projects have previously received Shoreline Exemptions projects in Lynch Cove: The Little Mission and Big Mission (Belfair State Park) Estuary Restoration Project, the Klingel Wetlands Estuary Restoration Project, and the Union River Estuary Restoration Project. These projects included the removal of existing levees along with imported fill, the removal of fish passage barriers, the construction of setback dikes, and the construction of bridge structures. The Beards Cove Estuary Restoration Project is simpler in scope. It involves the removal of over 42,000 cubic yards of fill from the Union River Estuary and the re-construction of historic distributary channels. We have included a letter from WDFW identifying that RCW 90.58.147 applies to this project. The Great Peninsula Conservancy requests that Mason County grant a shoreline exemption for the project. Note that we have already submitted a SEPA application and JARPA to Mason County DCD for the project Yours Truly, Pat McCullough, PE Engineer of Record and permit applicant Beards Cove Estuary Restoration Project Engineering Services Associates Inc. 210 N.E.Cherokee Beach, Belfair,Washington-98528 (360)275-7384 FAX(360)277-3187
