12. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. [help]
Native forest in the project area is dominated by trees such as Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and western
hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) in lower elevations, and silver fir (Abies amabilis) at higher elevations. Early
successional and riparian forest is dominated by red alder (Alnus rubra) and bigleaf maple (Acer
acrophyllum). Understory areas include salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), vine maple (Acer circinatum), devil’s
club (Oplopanax horridus), and red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa). The majority of the project area is
occupied by native upland and wetland forest vegetation, except for the ditches and cleared areas adjacent to
the roadside. In ditches and cleared areas, non-native species such as Himalayan blackberry (Rubus
armeniacus) and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are present. Site C2 is similar to site C1 in terms of
vegetation, although the forest near site C2 is somewhat younger and topography much steeper. Soils are
derived primarily from sandstone, which is visible in cut banks and results in much better drainage than soils
found near C1. Similar to site C1, a narrow band of riparian vegetation is present intermittently between the
UHRR and the Hoh River, except where it has eroded away. This area varies between 30 and 80 feet wide
and is composed almost entirely of young deciduous trees and shrubs. Forest upslope of the UHRR on the
west end of site C2 is mature conifer forest.
Chinook salmon and winter steelhead are predominant fish species in project area, followed by bull trout.
Large mammal species likely present include black bear, cougar, bobcat, coyote, red fox, mule deer, and
Roosevelt elk. Small mammal species include raccoon, beaver, Douglas’ squirrel, ermine, fisher, long-tailed
weasel, marten, mink, mountain beaver, porcupine, river otter, spotted skunk, opossum, eight different bat
species, as well as various shrews, mice, voles, and other rodents. Approximately 150 species of birds are
considered “common” or “uncommon” in Jefferson County. Eleven species of amphibians and two species of
reptiles are documented to potentially occur in the project area, in. These amphibian species most likely prefer
the aquatic habitats adjacent to the six proposed sites, particularly wetlands and small tributaries and their
adjacent riparian buffers. Federally-listed threatened and endangered species with the potential to occur in or
near the project area including marbled murrelet, Northern spotted owl, streaked horned lark, yellow-billed

MP 4.38 (which is located within site C2) contains largely disturbed roadside vegetation. Upstream of the road,
the unnamed tributary flows through a riparian zone dominated by young- to middle-successional forest
containing mainly red alder, with surrounding mid-successional upland forest containing mainly Sitka spruce.
Chinook salmon and winter steelhead are predominant fish species in project area, followed by bull trout. Bull
trout could access the unnamed tributary at MP 4.38 during high water, but may not be able to navigate the
culvert in high water. Large mammal species likely present include black bear, cougar, bobcat, coyote, red
fox, mule deer, and Roosevelt elk. Small mammal species include raccoon, beaver, Douglas’ squirrel, ermine,
fisher, long-tailed weasel, marten, mink, mountain beaver, porcupine, river otter, spotted skunk, opossum,

armeniacus) and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are present.
The forest near site C3 (Tower Creek Bridge) is older than near other sites, with greater cover by
Sitka spruce, and taller trees (approximately 100 feet to 125 feet tall, on average), particularly
west of the creek. Fewer red alder are present, but they are older and covered by moss and lichen,
similar to the few big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) trees present in this area. The understory
contains dense sword fern as well as relatively fewer wetlands and less salmonberry and vine
maple cover, when compared to other areas in the project area as a whole. LWD and snags are
relatively large and abundant near site C3. Vegetation surrounding the adjacent Jefferson County
storage area is disturbed.
Chinook salmon and winter steelhead are predominant fish species in project area, followed by bull trout.
Bull trout could possibly access Tower Creek, depending on the ability of the fish to navigate several step
pools with significant LWD downstream of the bridge. Large mammal species likely present include black
bear, cougar, bobcat, coyote, red fox, mule deer, and Roosevelt elk. Small mammal species include raccoon,
beaver, Douglas’ squirrel, ermine, fisher, long-tailed weasel, marten, mink, mountain beaver, porcupine, river
otter, spotted skunk, opossum, eight different bat species, as well as various shrews, mice, voles, and other

11. Is any part of the project area within a 100-year flood plain? [help]
☐ Yes ☒ No ☐ Don’t know
12. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. [help]
Native forest in the project area is dominated by trees such as Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and western
hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) in lower elevations, and silver fir (Abies amabilis) at higher elevations. Early
successional and riparian forest is dominated by red alder (Alnus rubra) and bigleaf maple (Acer acrophyllum).
Understory areas include salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), vine maple (Acer circinatum), devil’s club
(Oplopanax horridus), and red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa). The majority of the project area is occupied
by native upland and wetland forest vegetation, except for the ditches and cleared areas adjacent to the
roadside. In ditches and cleared areas, non-native species such as Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus)
and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) are present. Site C5 (Canyon Creek culvert) is characterized
generally by younger forest, dominated by deciduous red alder along the stream with young conifer forest on
the adjacent slopes. Canyon Creek is a tributary to the Hoh River, but the UHRR crossing of Canyon Creek is
approximately 1,500 feet north of the river. Swordfern is the dominant species in the understory near site C5,
and recent clearcut areas exist directly east of site C5. A few patches of older hemlock forest are located
southwest and southeast and site C5.
Chinook salmon and winter steelhead are predominant fish species in project area, followed by bull trout.
Bull trout could likely access Canyon Creek up to the culvert depending on the ability of the fish to navigate
several step pools with significant LWD downstream of the bridge. Large mammal species likely present
include black bear, cougar, bobcat, coyote, red fox, mule deer, and Roosevelt elk. Small mammal species
include raccoon, beaver, Douglas’ squirrel, ermine, fisher, long-tailed weasel, marten, mink, mountain beaver,
porcupine, river otter, spotted skunk, opossum, eight different bat species, as well as various shrews, mice,
voles, and other rodents. Approximately 150 species of birds are considered “common” or “uncommon” in
Jefferson County. Eleven species of amphibians and two species of reptiles are documented to potentially
occur in the project area, in. These amphibian species most likely prefer the aquatic habitats adjacent to the
six proposed sites, particularly wetlands and small tributaries and their adjacent riparian buffers. Federally-

listed threatened and endangered species with the potential to occur in or near the project area including
marbled murrelet, Northern spotted owl, streaked horned lark, yellow-billed cuckoo, pacific fisher, Olympic
(Mazama) pocket gopher, and Taylor's checkerspot (see BA for more information).
13. Describe how the property is currently used. [help]

14. Describe how the adjacent properties are currently used. [help]
Site C5 (Canyon Creek Bridge) is surrounded by the Upper Hoh River Road, the Hoh River, and undisturbed
forested land, which are used for natural resources (excluding timber extraction), transportation, and
recreation.
15. Describe the structures (above and below ground) on the property, including their purpose(s). [help]
Site C5 is the Canyon Creek Bridge. No other structures exist at this site.
16. Provide driving directions from the closest highway to the project location, and attach a map. [help]
Site C5: From Highway 101, go east on the Upper Hoh River Road to MP 10.2.
