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 water shed 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. I. 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.

Adversely impact water quality: 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. 2. Will your project either reduce or increase shade along or over a waterbody? YES NO Removal of shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or floats often results in a change in shade. 3.

The Department of Ecology(Ecology) reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): WATER QUALITY Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing,grading,or construction. These control measures must be effective to prevent soil from being carried into surface water by stormwater runoff. Sand,silt,clay particles,and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered pollutants when discharged to waters of the state. Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter 90.48,Water Pollution Control,and WAC 173-201A,Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action. During construction,all releases of oils, hydraulic fluids,fuels,other petroleum products, paints, solvents,and other deleterious materials must be contained and removed in a manner that will prevent their discharge to waters and soils of the state. The cleanup of spills should take precedence over all other work on the site. Proper disposal of construction debris must be on land in such a manner that debris cannot enter water of the state or cause water quality degradation of state waters. All trenches,depressions, or holes created in the intertidal area shall be backfilled prior to inundation by tidal waters. All stormwater discharges must be constructed in a manner that will not cause scouring on the beach. The applicant should consider alternatives to treated wood or other chemically treated wood for in- water construction of wooden structures. Over time,treated wood may contaminate nearby sediment and cause toxicity for aquatic organisms. • ' June 23, 2010 Page 2 Shoreline armoring(e.g., hardening with rock)can result in adverse impacts to the natural character of the shoreline,but can be avoided. Ecology recommends the applicant use appropriate plantings of native vegetation to stabilize shorelines, rather than hardening them with rock or concrete. Ecology can provide further information on request. Applicants should consider that placement of a bulkhead may in some cases accelerate erosion of the beach. Bulkheads are not truly permanent, and may require expensive maintenance,especially after storm events. Per Chapter 90.58 RCW(WA State Shoreline Management Act), local governments must also consider the cumulative impacts of armoring large stretches of currently natural shoreline. Ecology's comments are based upon information provided by the lead agency. As such,they may not constitute an exhaustive list of the various authorizations that must be obtained or legal requirements that must be fulfilled in order to carry out the proposed action. If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments,please contact the appropriate reviewing staff listed above.
