The geoduck planting area extends from about +2 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) down to approximately -1-foot MLLW and -2-foot MLLW. The proposed aquaculture will be located at least 16.4 feet from the edge of a native eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed. The geoduck farm will consist of four -inch -diameter by 10-inch-long PVC tubes placed into the substrate during low tide. One PVC tube will be inserted per square foot of planting area, with three- to five inches of the tube exposed above the substrate surface. Geoduck seed will subsequently be placed in installed and submerged tubes by divers. Once a geoduck seed is planted, the tube will then be covered with mesh caps and secured with UV resistant rubber bands. After two years, the tubes will be removed, and geoducks will be harvested about five or six years after planting. The following upland parcels will be used as part of this proposal: (1) An unimproved, upland parcel zoned rural residential (0.29 acre) along Shine Road would be used for secondary parking for aquaculture project; (2) An unimproved, upland parcel zoned rural residential (1.26 acre) accessed from Shine Road would be used for tube storage and parking for the aquaculture operation; (3) A Jefferson County park (William R. Hicks Park), located immediately west of the geoduck farm, may be used for parking; and (4) A state park (Shine Tidelands State Park), located immediately north of the Hood Canal Bridge, will be used as a boat launch. No ground disturbing activities are proposed at any of these four sites. The applicant submitted the following reports: Biological Evaluation (and Addendums), Eelgrass Delineation (and Addendums), Visual Assessment, Cumulative Impacts (and Addendum), Habitat Management Plan/No Net Loss, and Gear Management Plan. The Biological Evaluation refers to netting and rebar, neither of which are included in the current application. Therefore, no netting or rebar would be placed in the 5 15-acre project area if the proposal were to be approved. The proposal is subject to review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the applicant submitted a SEPA Environmental Checklist. This proposal is subject to environmental review and threshold determination under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).

Here is the application that needs to be noticed: Application number: MLA19-00036 Applicant: James Smersh (for BDN LLC, and representative is Ken Sheppard) Postal district: Port Ludlow Parcel number: 721031007 Notice date: July 21, 2021 Project description: Shoreline conditional use, shoreline substantial development, and flood development application for new Pacific geoduck (Panopea generosa) farm on 5.15 acres of tidelands in Squamish Harbor. The geoduck planting area extends from about +2 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) down to approximately -1-foot MLLW and -2-foot MLLW. The proposed aquaculture will be located at least 16.4 feet from the edge of a native eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed. The geoduck farm will consist of four -inch -diameter by 10-inch-long PVC tubes placed into the substrate during low tide. One PVC tube will be inserted per square foot of planting area, with three- to five inches of the tube exposed above the substrate surface. Geoduck seed will subsequently be placed in installed and submerged tubes by divers. Once a geoduck seed is planted, the tube will then be covered with mesh caps and secured with UV resistant rubber bands. After two years, the tubes will be removed, and geoducks will be harvested about five or six years after planting. The following upland parcels will be used as part of this proposal: (1) An unimproved, upland parcel zoned rural residential (0.29 acre) along Shine Road would be used for secondary parking for aquaculture project; (2) An unimproved, upland parcel zoned rural residential (1.26 acre) accessed from Shine Road would be used for tube storage and parking for the aquaculture operation; (3) A Jefferson County park (William R. Hicks Park), located immediately west of the geoduck farm, may be used for parking; and (4) A state park (Shine Tidelands State Park), located immediately north of the Hood Canal Bridge, will be used as a boat launch. No ground disturbing activities are proposed at any of these four sites. The applicant submitted the following reports: Biological Evaluation (and Addendums), Eelgrass Delineation (and Addendums), Visual Assessment, Cumulative Impacts (and Addendum), Habitat Management Plan/No Net Loss, and Gear Management Plan. The Biological Evaluation refers to netting and rebar, neither of which are included in the current application. Therefore, no netting or rebar would be placed in the 5.15-acre project area if the proposal were to be approved. The proposal is subject to review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the applicant submitted a SEPA Environmental Checklist.
