Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Course
The Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort project referred to in this study covers a land area
of approximately 241 Acres. This area is part of the East Olympic and Hood Canal River Basins
and the Skokomish-Dosewallips Water Resource lnventory Area (WRlA15).
A majority of the project acreage is located on Black Point which forms a peninsula into Hood
Canal and borders the northern edge of the Dosewallips River delta. This area consists of many
hills, ravines and glacial kettles. The site has been used for many years as a recreational vehicle
(RV) and campsite resort and contains many developed roads, RV pads, utilities, restrooms and
RV septic dumping facilities.
The remainder of the project site consists of the Marina and associated upland

4. SCOPE or PRoposel
RMG's support service proposal made to The Statesman Corporation was designed to evaluate
forest health and identify hazardous trees (where applicable) in the Maritime Village
Commercial and Residential areas, and also in the Black Point Golf Resort area. Within the
Maritime Village, the condition of trees within the 200 foot shoreline buffer was also evaluated.
This initial survey of forest health served future operational needs as a precursor to more
advanced stages of planning, permitting and development. The forest evaluation was also an
early step in a course of action designed to comply with the five applicable Jefferson County
BoCC conditions listed above in Section 3 as items a., s., u., v., and w.

4.2 Black Point Golf Course and Resort
The scope of work in this area covers not only forest health but the overall impact to the site
from prior timber harvest activities as well as impact to the areas disturbed by the activities of
the Black Point Campground. RMG will review the history of the site, give a description of
specific activities in various areas over time, and the types of impacts the site has been
subjected to. This will be in contrast to the current status of the forest. Specific areas having
received varying impacts will be "typed" and identified. We will discuss various harvest and
development options as well as considerations regarding e n control, native or leave areas
(buffers), and potential nursery set aside areas, wetlands an lopment with restoration.

RMG coordinated with on-site marina staff for a number of visits to perform the
necessary field work for this project. Representatives of Black Rock L.L.C., Merryman
Resource Management, LLC, and Washington Timberland Management lnc. conducted a
preliminary review by dividing the commercial and residential portions of the Maritime
Village into nine (9) sub areas. Six of the nine sub-areas were located within the
Maritime Commercial area and three were located within the Maritime Residentialarea.
These areas were identified and delineated using flagging, position of existing
structures, and other easily identifiable features on site. Preliminary tree counts were
made within each sub-area. Several site visits focused on specific danger trees and
forest pathology. The last group of visits was dedicated to photographing specific
examples of issues identified in this Forestry Report (see Appendix A, Site Photo
Thumbnails). [Not yet inserted into document file, will contain thumbnail copies of all

5.2.2 Black Point Golf Course Resort
The Black Point area of the proposed MPR presented a significantly different challenge
in comparison to the Maritime Village area. Based on the overall size of the Golf Course
Resort area, a combination of on-site visits and the use of historical aerial photography
and other documents were chosen to best enable formulating a description of the
condition of this property.
To better understand the existing campground and its effect on current vegetative site
conditions within the Black Point area, specific historical information was evaluated that
pertained to the extent of environmental disruption required for initial campground
development. Utility installations were ined on as-built plans that identified the
extent of underground piping and
water system serving the current
excavation necessary for the complex
previously planned and installed ca
nd layout. Additional drawings showed
and roads. On-site visits confirmed the
existence of the extensive water well restroom facilities and
associated drain fields and septic tanks. P

waterfront road and the upper road/parking lot area.
Many of the hazard trees located here hang above the Marina Office, storage area, restaurant
etc. Of particular note within sub-area MC-5 are hazard trees of medium to high failure
potential that are within striking distance of the parking areas and foot traffic below (see Figure

MR-7 Sub-Areo:
This area is best described as a fairly uniform stand of Douglas-fir beginning at or just above the
ordinary high water line of the harbor and extending up to the edge of Highway 101. lt has
been selectively logged in the area of the two homes, yards, and parkinB areas. Considerable
work has been done in creating these building sites. Significant mass grading activity has
occurred in creation of the building sites and also in creation of the access to the waterfront
and to the existing dock and floats that serve the two houses.
The trees in this area exhibit many of the same features and disease impacts as in the Marina
area. Within this sub-area trees have been impacted by environmental and mechanical
influences. Following is listing of the various impacts observed to occur within this sub-area:

Definitions of the sub-units within the greater Black Point Area are as follows:
BP-7 Sub-Areos (27.4% of totol BP oreoJ
These areas are characterized by relative low impact based on historical utilization. These areas
have larger trees than found in other Black Point timber stands, as defined by height and
diameter. Overall health and/or stand condition is acceptable for retention if that option is
within approved plans for development. These areas appear to have been left alone to
continue growing since approximately 50 to 70 years ago. At the time of adjacent harvest
these areas were more difficult to log due to steeper terrain.
BP-2 Sub-Areo 63% of totol BP oreol
These areas have experienced more sign s of impact relative to the impact apparent
in the BP-1 Sub-areas. Evidence of increase is provided through observations of poor
stand development, insufficient reestablishme tree and invasion of scotch broom

Most prevalent is the root disease, "Laminated Root Rot". s'6 This type of infection may be
randomly dispersed throughout a stand or may be grouped in "disease centers". The presence
of this root disease as mentioned in the results section of this report and in Table 1 is prevalent
throughout both the Marina and Maritime Village areas. lt is also likely that the pathogen may
exist in the Black Point area but resides in a dormant state in older root material remaining
from the previous forest. The Laminated Root Rot pathogen may remain virulent for as long as
fifty years in pieces of root material left on site following logging.' ln that state it will continue
to threaten a contribution to the process of infecting health trees in situations where new roots
from subsequent stands reach old root materialand the begins anew.

Laminated Root Rot (Phellinus weiriil "pockets" are the most prevalent tree health issue on the
property and occur throughout the Maritime Commercial and Maritime Residential areas. As
these "pockets" of disease continue to increase in size over time via root grafting under the soil
surface, additional trees become infected and eventually weaken and die. Mitigation of entire
infection pockets is not as easily accomplished as removal of individual obviously infected or
dead trees may be. Visibly infected hazardous trees in these infected areas can be removed by
harvest. To stop the spread of disease and subsequent creation of additional hazard trees over
time, additional trees from the perimeter of the infection area (approximately 50 feet past
visible infection) must also be removed to minimize further expansion of the disease in the
stand.la
Mitiootion Methods for Lominated Root Rot
Based on control methods recommended in previously mentioned publicationsls''6 and relying
on the experience of Washington Timberland Management, lnc. in treating root rot infestations
in Western Washington, it can be concluded that four basic options are available from which to
choose to treat Laminated Root Rot infections. A fifth option may also be available in time.
1. Destruction of infection a ) thru harvest of all infected trees and at least
two trees outside the visi of the infection, followed by return visits to
eradicate any further spread.the ability of the pathogen to transfer
from host tree to host tree by t grafts in the sub soil. This method
will create holes in the forest but
a resistant species of tree.
2 ng of larger forest areas ich the pathogen is active, followed by
icate any further urther harvest to salvage dying trees may
areas that would need restation with a resistant species. This is
nt than option #1
3. Fi forest (clear cut) which would be followed with replacement
of the species.
4. Remove allt ps, and redevelop the site per the MPR and BoCC conditions.
This option wo to more permanently interrupt the root grafting process and
eliminate much of t transport potential relied on by the root rot pathogen for further
infection. Resistant and non-susceptible species would be used in landscaping.

Due to the many similarities between the Maritime Commercial area and the Maritime

more natural state where needed and protected as part of the proposed Statesman

Timber stands on some other portions of the property were tree covered in past years but are
now stocked with only brush and smaller trees (Table 3, "Medium to Heavy lmpact"). These
were most likely stocked with trees of higher value at the time of last harvest and thus became
the target of logging efforts. ln reviewing available aerial photography, one can see logging
impacts in these areas in the form of skid trails within the Black Point area, including within the
Kettles. These remaining forested areas are not without impacts or intrusions from the
surrounding development of the campground. Many have trails, parking areas on the edge and
old skid roads and landing areas within.

For successful redevelopment into a MPR facility, site conditions would necessitate
considerable mass grading and mandate extensive erosion control efforts.
With current available clearing and grading technology, grinding of organic and woody debris
harvested from the site would generate ample "hog fuel" for use in slope stabilization and site
protection from storm water or runoff issues. The use of locally created "hog fuel" in the site
surface stabilization and protection process would also aid in preventing further depletion from
the site of the organic value of this material. This has potential to aid in rebuilding depleted

the Jefferson County BoCC criteria would be implemented. For example, buffer and greenbelt
areas (BoCC, item "s") would be individually evaluated, delineated, and protective measures
would be designed. Other BoCC conditions such as building placement (BoCC item "v"), and
identification and protection of significant trees (BoCC item "w") would also have specific plans
addressing their needs. The protective measures would then be set in place prior to, and
remain during construction. Long term protection measures whose efficacy would be designed
to extend indefinitely past the completion of the project development phase could also be
designed and put in action.
