As paft of the Jefferson County approval conditions (Ordinance No. O1-0128-08, 63.1) a wildlife management plan is required. This condition states that the wildlife management plan (WMP) will focus on non-lethal strategies to: I Prevent diminishment of tribal wildlife resources (e.9. deer, elk, cougar, waterfowl, osprey, eagles and bear); ! To reduce the potential for vehicle collisions on US Highway 1-OL; I Reduce the conflicts resulting from wildlife foraging on high value landscaping and attraction to fresh water sources; I To reduce the dangers to predators attracted to the area by prey or habitat; and r To reducethedangerto humans. This letter report presents the WMP prepared to address Ordinance No. O1-0128-08, 63.1, for the proposed Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort (MPR), near Brinnon in Jefferson County, Washington (Figure 1 - Vicinity Map). The following report addresses the current preferred alternative (Alternative 3) site plan for the MPR (Figure 2 - Site Map). A Habitat Management Plan (HMP) for the project area was developed in 2072 and describes potential fish and wildlife usage of the project site (GeoEngineers 2OL2).ln addition, the HMP also described minimization measures such as providing wildlife corridors, increasing shoreline buffer and enhancement through native plantings in degraded habitat areas (GeoEngineers2OT2); Figure 3 shows the proposed wildlife corridors. tr Statesman Group November 2, 2OL7 Page2 Prolect Locatlon The Pleasant Harbor MPR is located along the western shoreline of the Hood Canal surrounding Pleasant Harbor and Black Point in Sections 15 and 22 of Township 25 North, Range 2 west of the Willamette Meridian. The MPR property, hereinafter referred to as the site, is approximately 172 miles south of Brinnon in Jefferson County, Washington (Figure 1). The site is located in the Skokomish- Dosewallips Water Resource lnventory Area (WRIA 16) and is part of the East Olympic and Hood Canal Basins. The approximately 237-acre site is partially developed and comprised of three main development sections as identified in Figure 1. Section 1 is the Golf Course/Golf Resort on Black Point, which extends east approximately 1 mile into Hood Canal. This property was historically used for camping and recreation. Sections 2 and 3, referred to as the Maritime Village/Marina area. These sections are located on the northwest shoreline of Pleasant Harbor which is a shallow cove of Hood Canal north of Black Point. Currently, Sections 2 and 3 are being utilized for a variety of purposes including business (real estate office), recreational (the marina) and commercial (restaurant and convenience store). Slte Descrlptlon The entire site was previously logged by others prior to 1970. Historical aerial photographs reproduced in the Forestry Report prepared for the Pleasant Harbor MPR show the area now occupied by the Pleasant Harbor Marina was once used for log rafting and a log dump. The existing narrow loop road on the slope and along the waterfront was created by others to serve these uses. Black Point Peninsula and Marina Existing land use on the Black Point Peninsula is predominantly low-density residential. The peninsula was previously logged, and single-family homes have been constructed on the west and east sides. The northern end of the peninsula is undeveloped. Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) owns approximately 30 acres of forest land on the northern portion of the peninsula. lmprovements on WDFW land include a public boat launch and picnic area with access from Black Point Road. The site was historically used as a SOO-site campground and consists of developed roads and camping pads. There are buildings remaining on-site, including restrooms located throughout the developed area of the site. Section 1 is bordered by Hood Canal to the south, forested land and several single-family residences to the east, light residential housing to the north and Highway 101 to the west. Black Point peninsula landforms consist of hills, ravines and deep kettles shaped by glacial processes. The project area is sparsely forested with pockets of second growth coniferous forest and areas of deciduous shrubs and trees. There are also cleared areas that were associated with the campground, including roads, campsites, maintenance areas, lodge, restrooms, parking areas and play areas. The golf course has been reduced to 9-holes to accommodate the Tribe, where only 3.1 acres is classified as impervious development. At the Marina/Maritime Village uplands, the impervious areas are only 1.8 acres of development. File No. 12677{01-12 GeoEncrn EEROu Statesman Group Novembet 2,2OL7 Page 3 Vegetation found on the property consists primarily of an over story of Douglas ft (Pseudotsuga menziesii), with occurrences of red alder (A/nus rubra), black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), bitter cherry (Prunus emarginata), bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), and Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii). Broadleaf shrubs and other plants found in the understory include: red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum), Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius), vine maple (Acer circinatum), salal (Gau/theria shallon), and evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum). The Black Point peninsula and marina areas provide grazing and cover habitat for deer, elk, cougar, and bear. However, these habitats do not provide potential grazing or prey habitat for osprey, eagles and waterfowl. Shorellne The Pleasant Harbor shoreline is considered a low-energl environment due to the protected waters of the Bay and the vegetation established below the mean higher high tide line. Salt-tolerant vegetation identified on the shoreline along Pleasant Harbor included saltgrass (Distich,is spicata var. spicata), pickleweed, Puget Sound gumweed (Grindelia integrifolia var. macrophylla) and fleshy jaumea (Jaumea carnosa). The Hood Canal shoreline of Black Point is considered a high-ener$/ environment because of the exposed nature of the shoreline and the lack of vegetation established below the mean higher high tide line. The shoreline along Black Point is high bluff with areas of vertical slopes, which contain little to no vegetation and signs of active erosion. The shoreline within the project area does not provide grazing or cover habitat for deer, elk, cougar, or bear. However, the shoreline does provide potential grazing and prey habitat for osprey, eagles and waterfowl. PROJECT DESCR!PTION The plan is to develop a mixed-use resort development on the 237-acre site. Although three project alternatives and a no-action alternative (four alternatives total) have been developed, the basic project description remains consistent within the various phases and alternatives. For more specific information on the preferred alternative, see Attachment 1. Mltlgatlon Measures Various strategies will be implemented to help prevent the diminishment of tribal wildlife resources throughout the site from impacts caused by the development. These strategies include providing natural vegetated areas that will be protected from development and remain undisturbed as well as reducing impacts to the marine environment by controlling pollution that may drain to Hood Canal and Pleasant Harbor. The following mitigation measures will be taken to limit impacts to terrestrial wildlife resources and protect wildlife corridors within the golf resort: I Designated vegetated areas/corridors will be left undisturbed and extend throughout areas of development. These undisturbed vegetated areas will consist of the typical forested habitat that File No. 12677O01-12 GeoEucrr.r EEROT Statesman Group Novembet 2,2OL7 Page 4 currently exists on the site. The areas will be dominated by a coniferous and deciduous forest, with dense to moderately dense shrub and herbaceous layers. Wildlife Corridors depicted on Figure 3 extending through golf course fairways will consist of mowed grasses. However, it is assumed that wildlife will still cross through these areas of the fairways. The JCC 150-foot shoreline buffer will be increased to a 2oO-foot shoreline buffer and will not be disturbed or encroached upon. Disturbed portions of the buffer will be restored. The final wetland critical area buffers will be marked and left undisturbed for Wetlands C and D. Existing concrete and gravel roads within the buffers of Wetlands C and D will be removed and the areas will be replanted with native vegetation that is found in the project vicinity. Vegetated corridors that lead to offsite areas and to other remaining vegetated areas will be left throughout the golf course and housing areas. These corridors will lead to more than 2OO acres of relatively undisturbed vegetation on and off site in addition to existing and created wetland features on-site. These corridors will be dominated by native vegetation that will provide food and habitat to animals that may use the site. An effort will be made to retain trees that have a Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of 1O inches or greater throughout the site in these corridors. These trees are important because they are used as perch trees and nesting trees for birds such as bald eagles and osprey. An active osprey nest was identified near the west shoreline of Pleasant Harbor and the nest and tree will be protected during construction. Undisturbed areas of natural vegetation and habitat corridors are important to wildlife currently using the site. Habitat corridors are needed to allow movement and subsequent flow of genes between wildlife populations in habitats that otherwise would be isolated. The two primary users of corridors are corridor travelers and corridor dwellers. Corridor travelers include large herbivores such as deer; medium to large carnivores like foxes and coyotes; and various migratory animals (Payne and Bryant 1994). Corridor dwellers generally have limited dispersal ability and consist mostly of plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals and birds. These vegetated areas will lesson impacts and allow wildlife that typically utilizes the site to continue to utilize the site. WITDLIFE RESOURCES As stated above, the purpose of this WMP is to provide non-lethal strategies to prevent diminishment of tribal wildlife resources (e.9. deer, elk, cougar, waterfowl, osprey, eagles and bear) to reduce the potential for vehicle collisions on US Highway tOl, to reduce the conflicts resulting from wildlife foraging on high value landscaping and attraction to fresh water sources, to reduce the dangers to predators attracted to the area by prey or habitat and to reduce the danger to humans. Therefore, development of the WMP included identification of tribal wildlife resources and review of literature on the identified tribal wildlife resources. For the purposes of this report, the wildlife resources discussed below include: deer, elk, cougar, waterfowl, osprey, eagles and bears. GeoErarN EERO File No. 12677{01-12 tr Statesman Group Novembet2,2OLT Page 5 Deer During previous site visits, black-tail deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbiannus) scat and tracks were observed throughout the site from the shoreline to the upland in all sections and there were visual confirmations of deer made during the field reconnaissance. Roosevelt Elk There is documented presence of regular large concentrations of Roosevelt elk (Cervus e/aphus rooseve/ti) in the vicinity of the site (WDFW 2OL7). Elk migrate on a seasonal pattern and can be expected to be in the project vicinity during certain times of the year. Elk could potentially wander onto Black Point and inhabit the site for short durations during the year. However, SR 101 separates the entire site from crucial elk wintering range (WDFW 2OL7). According to Bryan Murphie (wildlife biologist with WDFW), there are two unique herds in the area: Duckabush and the Dosewallips herds (personal communication, 2077). Both herds have the potential to cross Highway 101, but the Duckabush herd would likely be the herd that utilize Black Point (personal communication with Bryan Murphie 2077). There is not a documented presence of elk utilizing Black Point; however, elk could be found occasionally using the site (personal communication with Bryan Murphie 2077). Elk are typically found in herds that can range in size of individuals. During mating season, bulls gather harems of cows and these harems can range in size from 3 to 25 cows (WDFW 2OO4). Therefore, it is assumed a herd could be as small as 4 individuals (3 cows and 1 bull). Cougar The project site includes forested habitat with thick brush and sparse development which is typical habitat of cougar. While cougars were not observed during the site reconnaissance and no evidence of cougar was noted, it is possible that cougar are found within the development site. Adult cougar prey typically includes deer (WDFW 2OO4), which have been identified on and near the project site. Bears Due to habitat conditions of the project site (forested area with sparse development) bears could be found at the project site. ln general, bears are strongly associated with forest cover, but they do occasionally use open country (WDFW 2OO4). Bears were not observed on the project site and evidence of presence was not noted; however, due to habitat conditions, it is possible that bears could be found within the development site. Waterfow! Migratory water fowl, such as ducks, geese and swans, are expected to be present within the vicinity of the site. The Duckabush River enters Hood Canal about 1 mile southwest of the site. There is an extensive delta and shallow mudflat habitat at the mouth of the river. This area is prime habitat for watedowl: thus, they can be expected to feed and migrate through the area during various times of the year. There is a documented waterfowl concentration of trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinators) along the southern shoreline of Black Point that is associated with the mouth of the Duckabush River and of hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucul/atus) along the east shoreline of Black Point (WDFW 2Olt; WDFW 2Ot7). There is also documented presence of hooded merganser as concentrations in a pond less lhan Yz mile to the east of the site (WDFW 2011; WDFW 2OL7). File No.12677{01-12 tr GeoEncrn EERO Statesman Group November 2, 2017 Page 6 Osprey and Eagles An active osprey nest was observed and identified adjacent to the development site, near the west shoreline of Pleasant Harbor. Two off-site bald eagle nests are mapped by WDFW (WDFW 2OL7) on the eastern shoreline of Black Point, under Vz mile east from the development area. The shoreline on the southern edge of Black Point and the Pleasant Harbor shoreline contain mature trees suitable for eagle and osprey perching. Although there are no eagle nests or communal areas identified onsite, there is a presence of bald eagles in the project vicinity, which indicates there is potential for bald eagles to utilize the site. During the 2006 field reconnaissance, one immature and one adult bald eagle were observed flying over the site, and two adult bald eagles were observed perched in mature Douglas fir trees along Pleasant Harbor. WITDLIFE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES The proposed project has been designed to minimize impacts from the proposed development. Wildlife corridors and enhancement through installation of native plants is proposed over much of the site. ln addition, the golf course has been reduced from an 1S-hole course to a 9-hole course reducing the overall footprint of the development. Deer Deer have been identified on the project site and will likely continue to reside within the project area after construction. Deer can be a nuisance species when population numbers increase to a point where human and deer conflicts become a concern (WDFW 2OO4). Deer will forage on landscaped plants and can attract animals that prey on deer, such as cougar and bear. ln addition, with an increased population there is a potential increase in deer and vehicle collisions (WDFW 2OO4). Potential ways to discourage deer from the property include: r lnstalling cattle guards within driveways or roads with adjacent fencing along entrances; r Landscaping with deer resistant plants; I lmplementing scare tactics. Scare tactics can include visual (bright colors, jerking movements), auditory (loud noises) and smell (sprays that have a scent deer dislike). However, scare tactics are often considered temporary because deer will get used to the tactic and once again return to the site; and I lnstalling fencing around the site or potential food sources (landscaped plants). File No. 12677{01-12 GroENcrn EERO Through discussions with Native American Tribes it has been identified that tribal wildlife resources (including Roosevelt Elk) should be discouraged from using the development site (Jefferson County Web Meeting Notes 2017). Therefore, management strategies listed below include strategies to discourage wildlife use of the sites to prevent diminishment of the wildlife resources, reduce vehicle collisions, reduce conflicts with foraging on high value landscaping, reduce dangers to predators attracted by prey and reduce dangers to humans. I StatesmanGroup November 2,2OL7 PageT Statesman will evaluate deer presence on the project site and if deer become a nuisance, Statesman will im plement the fol lowing strategies: r Statesman will landscape with deer resistant plants and if needed will fence around potential food sources (landscaped plants). r Scare tactics will be used to deter deer from the project site. Scare tactics will include use of chemicals for smell, loud noises and flashing lights. r lf deer continue to be a nuisance, Statesman will install cattle guards and fencing as a last resort to discourage deer presence on the property. The fence will only be installed on WDFW and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT's) concurrence that installation of a fence will not pose a threat to human health and safety. Roosevelt Elk Elk have not been identified on the property but there is a potential for their presence because the site is adjacent to mapped elk crucial wintering range (WDFW 2OL7). Elk can be a nuisance species when human and elk conflicts become a concern. Elk will forage on landscaped plants and due to the location of the highway, there is a potential increase in elk and vehicle collisions (WDFW 2OO4). Human and elk conflicts are influenced by the number of elk in the area, the availability of alternative food sources and hiding cover, and winter weather conditions (WDFW 2OO4). Methods to discourage elk from utilizing the site are similar to deer. Typical nonlethal damage-control techniques to discourage elk include but are not limited to the following: r Scare tactics can include visual (bright colors, jerking movements), auditory (loud noises) and smell (sprays that have a scent elk dislike). However, scare tactics are often considered temporary because the animals will get used to the tactic and return to the site. r Elk fences and other barriers can provide relief from elk damage in situations where plants cannot be protected individually (WDFW 2004; Johnson, et al. 2014; WSDOT 2OL7; personal communication with Fish and Wildlife biologist at WSDOT 2017; personal communication with Wildlife Biologist at WDFW 2OL7). The fence will need to be minimum 8-foot-high woven-wire fence. ln addition, electric fences have proven to be an alternative to the woven-wire fencing. The fences feature eight to ten strands of high tensile steel wire supported by conventional fence post systems. To be effective, fencing must be seen by the elk because often times they will go through the fence if not seen. To make the fencing visible, survey tape or branches can be used. r High numbers of wildlife and vehicle collisions frequently occur in areas where large numbers of deer and elk are present directly adjacent to high traffic volume highway segments (WSDOT 2OL7). According to WSDOT, signs are the most commonly used tool to warn motorists of the possibility of wildlife on the highway (WSDOT 2O!7). Flashing signs or signs with regularly updated messages are more successful at reducing deer and elk vehicle collisions than regular signs and are currently used in areas with high wildlife/vehicle collision rates (WSDOT 2Ot7). Therefore, another potential strate$/ to reduce elk and vehicular incidents is to install collars on elk that are linked to signs on Highway 1O1. The signs would light up when the elk get close to the roadway and warn people to slow down. However, this stratery would not prevent elk from entering the project site and is not always an File No. 12677{01-12 GeoErcrx EEROD Statesman Group Novembet 2,2OL7 Page 8 effective strates/ (personal communication with Fish and Wildlife Biologlst at WSDOT 2017; personal communication with Wildlife Biologist at WDFW 2077). To help prevent elk and vehicle collisions, Statesman will install flashing signs that are associated with collared elk. Even though there is no history of elk grazing on the grasses in the project area, the Applicant has agreed to satisfy the concerns of PGST to install a west oriented fence in any open areas where elk could find access to the t holes of golf course grasses. The Applicant will investigate if there is proven technology in types of grasses that are not attractive for elk grazing. For the project site, strategies for discouraging elk from the property include utilizing scare techniques which is a temporary solution. Statesman will be responsible for monitoring elk presence on the site. lf more than four elk (which could be a herd) are observed accessing the propefty within a one year span, Statesman will employ the following strategies to remove and discourage elk from the site: r lf four elk are observed on the property in a one year span, Statesman will implement scare tactics to deter the elk from the project site. Scare tactics will include use of chemicals smell, loud noises and flashing lights. r There has been no history of elk entering and grazing on the property. Once the property is developed and should there be more than four elk on the property at one time after the developer has determined that noise-deterrents, smell-deterrents and visual deterrents have proven ineffective, then the developer will install a fence as a last resort to discourage their presence for the benefit of the PGST and their hunting rights. The fence will only be installed on WDFW and WSDOT's concurrence that installation of a fence will not pose a threat to human health and safety. Cougar Cougar could potentially be attracted to the development site by the presence of prey species such as deer and elk. WDFW provides several tips for preventing conflicts if living within areas where cougars are present (WDFW 2OO4): I Do not leave small children unattended and make sure children are indoors by dusk. Cougars are generally more active from dusk to dawn. r Modify the habitat around homes. Light all walkways after dark and avoid landscaping with plants that deer prefer to eat. Shrubs and trees around children's play areas should be pruned to prevent cougars from hiding behind them. r Do not feed wildlife that may be prey to cougars. Attracting prey species will likely attract cougars. r Feed pets inside and do not leave unattended water and food outside. r Use garbage cans with tight-fitting lids because garbage can attract small mammals that, in turn may attract cougars. Statesman will monitor the number of cougar sightings on the project site. lf cougar presence becomes a nuisance then the following strategies will be implemented: r Statesman will implement public education programs regarding living in areas with cougars (i.e. garbage can management, feeding pets and supervising children outdoors). File No. 12677{01-12 GeoEncrx EEROt-t Statesman Group Novembet2,2OLT Page 9 r lf cougars are still observed on the property, Statesman will modify habitat around homes which will include, lighting all walkways after dark, pruning shrubs and trees and landscaping with deer resistant plants. Bear Bear can utilize a variety of habitats but are generally associated with forested areas. Therefore, bear have the potential to be on the development site before and after the development of the project. WDFW provides several tips for preventing conflicts if living within areas where bears may be present (WDFW 2OO4): r Do notfeed bears; a wild bearcan become permanentlyfood conditioned after justone handoutand associate food with humans. r Manage garbage. Bears will go through garbage looking for food. Trash cans should be put out shortly before the garbage truck arrives, garbage cans should have tight fitting lids and be kept in a shed or garage, and garbage cans should be sprayed with disinfectants to reduce odors that may attract bears. I Remove bird feeders from early March through November. I Clean barbecue grills after each use and store the barbecue in a shed or garage. I Electric fencing can be used where bears frequent. Electric fencing will only work if it is operating before conflicts occur. Bears will go through electric fencing once they are food conditioned and know that food is available. I Temporary scare tactics (as described above) can be used to temporarily scare bears from a building. The location of the frightening devices should be changed every other day; however, bears will still become accustomed to them after a period of time. Statesman is planning to install bear proof garbage containers approved by US Park Service. Statesman will monitor the number of bear sightings on the project site. lf bear presence becomes a nuisance than the following strategies will be implemented to discourage bear presence: r Statesman will implement public education programs regarding living in areas with bears (i.e. garbage can management, cleaning barbeque grills and bird feeders). t lf needed scare tactics will be implemented to deter bears from certain areas. Waterfowl There is potential for waterfowl to become attracted to the site after development has occurred. Waterfowl habitat (mowed grasses and areas of open water) is being created as a result of the development actions. Methods to discourage use of the site include: r Not feeding waterfowl, I Putting a grid or net over open water that will prevent waterfowl from using the water; and File No. 12677O01-12 GeoErcrr.r EEROtr Statesman Group November2,2OLT Page 10 r Scare tactics Statesman will evaluate waterfowl presence and identify whether waterfowl are becoming a nuisance. lf waterfowl are becoming a nuisance then the following strategies will be implemented to discourage waterfowl presence: r lnstall signage near open water to educate people about not feeding birds. r lmplement scare tactics such as loud noises and flashing lights. r lf waterfowl presence is still considered to be a nuisance, a grid or net will be installed over open water features. Osprey and Eagles Osprey and eagles are currently found near the project site and will likely to be present after the project is constructed. ln general, osprey and eagles are not considered nuisance species. Habitat for osprey and eagles will be managed at the project site by retaining trees that have a DBH of 10 inches or greater throughout the site in these corridors. These trees are important because they are used as perch trees and nesting trees for birds such as bald eagles and osprey. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort is situated on approximalely 237 acres in Pleasant Harbor and Black Point in Hood Canal and will consist of a 9-hole championship golf course, residential housing, marina and a maritime village. As part of the Jefferson County approval conditions (Ordinance No. 01O12808, 63.1), a wildlife management plan is required. For the purposes of this report, the wildlife resources discussed within this WMP include: deer, elk, cougar, waterfowl, osprey, eagles and bears. Deer, elk, cougar, bear, osprey and eagles all have the potential to be found on or within the project site and presence of these animals on the development site may increase as a result of the proposed development. Statesman will manage sightings and determine whether these species are considered a nuisance. Even though there is no history of elk grazing on the grasses in the project area, the Applicant has agreed to satisfy the concerns of PGST to install a west oriented fence in any open areas where elk could find access to the t holes of golf course grasses. The Applicant will investigate if there is proven technolory in types of grasses that are not attractive for elk grazing. ln the case of elk, if more than four elk individuals are observed on the site in a 7-year period, Statesman will use alternative elk management strategies including scare tactics and fencing as described in the Wildlife Management Strategies section above. Typical recommended management strategies for living with wildlife are listed below: r lf species become a nuisance, employ scare tactics (visual, auditory and smell). This is often a temporary strateg/ that will only work until the animal becomes use to the noise. File N0.12677401-12 GroExcn EERO Page 11 r Do not feed the animals. Waterfowl and bear will associate humans and food and may become aggressive. r Manage pets responsibly. Leaving pet food out may attract prey species which could in turn attract predator species such as cougar. r Manage garbage cans, barbeque grills, and bird feeders. These items can attract animals looking for food. Animals may associate food with humans and become aggressive.
