STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The purpose of this agreement is to complete the following: 1) Transfer ownership of all Regulatory permits to Jefferson County for post - construction obligations 2) Complete 3-years of maintenance and monitoring requirements under the following Permits: • US Amy Corps of Engineers Permit NWS-2015-229 • Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife HPA 2018-6-192+02 • Washington Department of Ecology Water Quality Certification Order 15772 • Washington Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Lands Lease 51- 096399 3) Support development of compensatory mitigation project (Two Trout Creek) per US Amy Corps of Engineers Permit NWS-2015-229. 2. LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY 23 U.S.C. Section 204. 3. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SCOPE The Upper Hoh River Road (UHRR) Phase 2 project developed and implemented cost-effective, long-term bank stabilization solutions along segments of UHRR in western Jefferson County, Washington. UHRR serves as the only access for residents, businesses, Olympic National Park (ONP) and the Hoh Rainforest Visitor Center from US 101. The purpose of the improvements is to provide safe and consistent access to residents, businesses, and Olympic National Park (ONP) visitors via UHRR. The project includes construction activities at five locations along Upper Hoh River Road. The banks of the Hoh River were stabilized between milepost (MP) 3.6 and 3.8, at MP 4.0 to 4.4, and MP 7.5. In addition, the Tower Creek Bridge at MP 7.3 was replaced, the Canyon Creek culvert at MP 10.5 was replaced with a bridge and a failing culvert at MP 4.38 was replaced with an aquatic organism passage (AOP) box culvert. These replacements stabilize adjacent riverbanks, reduce potential for flooding and road damage, and improve fish habitat. Bank stabilization along UHRR consists of Engineered Log Jams (ELJs) that are composed of large logs, woody brush, riprap, and concrete Dolosse. Regulatory permits obtained to facilitate the construction of the UHRR Phase 2 project conditioned long-term maintenance and monitoring obligations, upwards of fifteen (15) years post -construction and Compensatory Mitigation. Construction was Agreement No. 6905672440004 Amendment 0001 Page 5 of 13 completed in 2023 and the (15) years post -construction obligations are scheduled to begin in 2024. FHWA is still under permit for Clean Water Act Section 404/401, Washington Hydraulic Project Approval and Washington Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Lands Lease. This agreement provides funding to transfer the permits to Jefferson County and support project requirements conditioned by regulatory permits for 3 years and Compensatory Mitigation. Jefferson County will then be required to maintain the permits for the remaining lifespan and perform all obligations associated with the Permits. 4. STATEMENT OF WORK This agreement provides funding for work including: project management, planting (plant material, transporting, labor and equipment), vegetation maintenance and monitoring, Engineered Log Jam (ELJ) maintenance and performance monitoring and reporting and signage. The work must be completed in accordance with permits and in cooperation with local landowners and County laws and regulations. A. Environmental Compliance 1. Transfer Permits Coordinate with FHWA and Regulatory Agencies to transfer permits to Jefferson County, Washington. 2.

Department of Public Works O Consent Agenda Page 1 of 1 Jefferson County Board of Commissioners Agenda Request To: Board of Commissioners Josh Peters, County Administrator From: Eric Kuzma, Public Works Director Agenda Date: April 6, 2026 Subject: Federal Lands Access Program Amendment 0001 to Grant Agreement No. 690567240004 Upper Hoh Road Phase 2, and Two Trout Creek Culvert Replacement Statement of Issue: Execution of an amendment to Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) Grant Agreement with FHWA-Western Federal Lands Highway Division (WFLHD) for the Upper Hoh Road Phase 2 project and the Two Trout Creek Culvert Replacement project. Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: The grant agreement amendment will provide federal funding for an interpretive sign fabrication and installation at Upper Hoh Road, and tree removal at Two Trout Creek Culvert Replacement (Oil City Road MP 0.5). WFLHD requires assistance from Jefferson County on these project tasks and will reimburse Jefferson County through this grant amendment. The original grant agreement was for post -construction obligations for the Upper Hoh Road Phase 2 project. Those obligations are ongoing, and include riparian tree planting, monitoring of vegetation and wetland mitigation establishment, and monitoring of Engineered Log Jam performance. Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: This amendment will increase the grant agreement amount by $65,500, from $165,000 to $230,500. The amendment will provide 100% funding for the sign installation and tree removal. Recommendation: Public Works recommends the Board execute the Grant Agreement amendment with WFLHD by signing and returning the one original to Public Works. A fully executed copy will be returned to the Board after execution by WFLHD. Department Contact: Mark Thurston, P.E., Project Manager, 385-9210.
