Task 3 - Pollution Identification and Correction: No JCCD responsibilities Task 4 - Best Manal!ement Practices Implementation A. JCCD will identify and correct sources of fecal coliform pollution from agricultural operations. B. JCCD will work with landowners to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) on each cooperating property based on a priority list that ranks properties according to water quality impacts. JCCD will implement DOE approved BMPs provided adequate funding for BMP implementation is available. C. Technical assistance for eligible water quality related agriculture activities provided under the terms of this grant shall be consistent with current U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) standards and/or Technical Guide: However, technical assistance, proposed practices, or project designs that do not meet these standards may be accepted if approved in writing by the NRCS and the DOE. D. All best mRnR~ement practices (BMPs) will be implemented according to NRCS Standards and Specifications. E. If JCCD wishes to design a buffer not consistent with requirements below, JCCD shall submit a plan to the DOE for approval and a written explanation as to why the following requirements cannot be met. In addition to these specific requirements, all restoration activities must be consistent with the Stream Habitat Restoration Guidelines (see Attachment 2 for applicable document reference): 1) Riparian Buffers: a. For agricultural areas, minimum buffer size for streams shall be an average width of35 feet (on both sides of the stream). For those streams which provide habitat for endangered or threatened aquatic species, the minimum buffer size shall be an average of 50 feet For all such streams, it is recommended that JCCD use Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife buffer widths found in the Final Joint Washinm:on Department of Fish and Wildlifeffribal Wild Salmonid Policv. When buffers are to be ( created in forested areas, buffer. width must also be consistent with Forest Practices Rules. b. ICCD shall obtain a conservation easement or a landowner agreement signed by the landowner prior to the establishment of a riparian buffer on private property. The conservation easement shall be consistent with Fundinl7 Guidelines Volume One. The easement or a landowner agreement must be effective for a minimum of ten- (10) years unless otherwise authorized by the DOE. c. ICCD must develop a written and signed three- (3) year maintenance plan prior to establishing all riparian buffers. This plan shall detail responsibilities for both the landowner and ICCD and must include details concerning, but not limited to, watering plants, replacing dead plants, controlling noxious weeds, and repairing and maintaining buffer fencing. d. Buffers established as part of this grant may not violate county Critical Area Ordinances, county Shoreline Rules, and/or other state and local regulations. 2) Riparian Plantings: a. ICCD or landowner may hire contractor or subcontract with North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC) for implementation of riparian planting projects c. ICCD/NOSC shall only plant species which may be shown to be riparian in nature and indigenous to the primary watershed where the buffer is being established (ask the question, "Would this plant historically have occurred at this site?"). c. ICCD/NOSC shall, to the greatest extent possible, use genetically appropriate plant materials collected from the primary or secondary watershed where the buffer is to be established. d. JCCD/NOSC shall, to the greatest extent possible, utilize plant species which are early successional within the primary watershed. Early successional species are those whose characteristics are such that they are first to colonize after a disturbance. 3) Streambank Protection: a. Streambank protection projects must not stand alone, but be part of a larger riparian buffer project. The project must include the buffer and planting requirements listed above. b. Rock should not be used to armor a bank against the erosive forces of a stream or river unless a bridge, road, or other IIIlUl-made structure cannot be protected by any other means. In any situation where rock is to be used, the ICCD must submit the design to the DOE for review and approval. c. Streambank protection designs must be consistent with the Aquatic Habitat Guidelines Integrated Streambank Protection document provided by the DOE of Ecology upon request or found at the following website: htto:l/www.wa.gov/wdfwlhab/ahg/strmbank.htm 4) Livestock Watering: a. If the ICCD proposes to convey water from a stream or river to a stock tank, the project must be consistent with the Policv for Conveying Stockwater A way From Streams to Protect Water Oualitv (Water Resources Program Policy POL-l 025). This policy allows small amounts of water consistent with historic practice to be diverted to stockwater tanks for consumption by livestock. b. Off-stream watering systems shall be the priority above designs that include water gaps in fencing for livestock access. If the ICCD wishes to design water gaps, a plan must be submitted to the DOE which details the design and a description of why off-stream systems cannot be utilized as well as detailing how potential impacts to water quality resulting from water gaps will be minimized. F. Required Performance: 1. Identify and correct sources ofFecal coliform pollution from agricultural operations. 2. Prepare reports on BMP implementation to address water quality problems identified on farms in the watershed. 3. Develop a drainage-wide conservation plan that addresses agricultura1 waste and run-off. 4. Develop individual Farm Plans for riparian restoration on private and public property and farms as requested by landowners. 5. Develop the Snow and Salmon Creek Water Quality Improvement plan. 6. ICCD will work with landowners to implement BMP's throughout the Salmon and Snow Creek basins. Task 5 Public Outreach and Education A. ICCD will participate in two informational meetings organized by ICPH to introduce the project to residents in the project area. B. Required Performance: 1. Participate in a minimum of 2 information meetings to introduce project to residents in project area. 2.
