PORT LUDLOW MARINA EXPANSION BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) formalized the listing of Puget Sound chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon (0. keta) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on May 24, 1999, and ...... March 25, 1999, respectively. NMFS has designated the coho salmon (0. kisutch) as a candidate for listing. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) listed bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in Puget Sound as threatened, effective December 1, 1999. Section 7 of the ESA requires that any action by a federal agency is "not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any [listed] species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of habitat of such species...." The Port Ludlow Marina Expansion project qualifies as such an action. Under ESA Section 7(c), the lead federal agency, in this case the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), must prepare a biological evaluation (BE) of the potential influence of its action (permitting the expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina) on listed species or their critical habitat. Depending on the conclusion of the BE, the Corps may be required to confer formally with NMFS or USFWS regarding the project. This BE is being prepared for Corps review and possible submittal to NMFS and USFWS as an aid to ESA decision-making regarding the potential effects of the Port Ludlow Marina Expansion project. This BE addresses the potential effects of the proposed project on chinook salmon, coho salmon, and bull trout, and their habitat. In addition, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) are federally listed threatened species that may occur in the project area and are addressed in this BE. The Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), which has not been reported in, nor is it considered likely to be found in, Port Ludlow, is also addressed in this BE because of its status as a threatened species. '- Other threatened or endangered species that may occur in Puget Sound include 'the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae; endangered) and the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea; endangered). However, these species are extremely unlikely to occur in the project area (defined July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 1 ",-./ '-" Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENIr-c in Section 2.1) and are therefore not covered in this BE. Appendix A provides copies of agency correspondence regarding listed species that may occur in the project area. .....

In this case, Port Ludlow Marina is located in Port Ludlow Bay, Jefferson County, Washington (Township 28 North, Range 01 East, Section 16) (Figures 1 and 2). Port Ludlow Bay, located on the west shore of Admiralty Inlet at the mouth of Hood Canal, is a 2.2-mi2, J-shaped tidal basin. The bay extends '- from the mouth of Ludlow Creek 3.5 mi to Admiralty Inlet. The eastern approach to the bay is characterized by a submerged sill having an average depth of 24 ft mean sea level (MSL). This sill forms a submerged basin open to the north. The average depth at the mouth of the bay is 82 ft. From this point, the bottom of the basin slopes upward for a distance of 0.5 mi to a depth of 50 to 60 ft. From here, the depth of the bay remains fairly uniform between 50 and 60 ft throughout most of its length to within 0.5 mi of Ludlow Creek. The innermost 0.5 mi of the bay has an average depth of 16 ft MSL (Jefferson County 1993). 2.2 ACTION AREA The "action area" includes all areas at and around the project that would be affected directly or indirectly by the proposed action. In this case, the action area is defined as the entire Port Ludlow Marina, which is open to Port Ludlow Bay. 2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION '- Port Ludlow Marina has 300 slips in its current configuration and can accommodate vessels up to 170 ft in length. Under the proposed marina expansion, 100 slips will be added, with slips varying in length from 35 to 60 ft. An existing kayak float within the marina will also be upgraded. The proposed replacement kayak float will be constructed using plastic pontoons for floatation and timber for the decking and connection system. The float cross section will consist of three pontoons. A space will be left open between each of the pontoons in the cross section. The two gaps between the three pontoons will be spanned by grating or sandblasted plexiglass instead of timber decking, which will allow light to penetrate beneath the float.

Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C 3.0 SPECIES AND HABITAT 3.1 SPECIES INFORMATION The action area has been defined as the entire Port Ludlow Marina and the western portion of Port Ludlow. Although no studies have been conducted on the river of origin of juvenile salmonids in Port Ludlow, it expected that salmonid use of Port Ludlow is extensive. Port Ludlow is located at the mouth of Hood Canal; thus, chinook salmon, coho salmon, and summer-run chum salmon, along with other salmonids from a number of river basins within the Hood Canal basin, may use Port Ludlow. The listed Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon are known to use the area, and Puget Sound chinook salmon likely use Port Ludlow (Cameron, R., Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW], pers. comm., 2000). The larger rivers within the Hood Canal basin with summer-run chum, chinook salmon, and/or coho salmon include the Skokornish, Hamma Hamma, Duckabush, Dosewallips, and Quilcene river systems. The river basin closest to Port Ludlow that contains both Puget Sound chinook salmon and Hood Canal summer-run churn salmon is the Quilcene River system, located roughly 38 rni south of Port Ludlow, draining to Quilcene Bay on Hood Canal. The river contains runs of fall chinook, coho, and summer-run chum salmon (Williams et al. 1975). For purposes of this assessment the Quilcene River system is considered to be a representative source of chinook salmon, summer-run chum salmon, and coho salmon that occur in the action area. Surveys conducted in the Big Quilcene River indicate that there is not a distinct bull trout/Dolly Varden (see Section 3.1.4.2) stock in the river (WDPW 1998a). Hood Canal bull trout/Dolly Varden are currently separated into three distinct stocks, all located within the Skokomish River basin (WDFW 1998a). Thus, any bull trout that may occur in Ludlow Bay originate in rivers other than the Quilcene River system. In addition to chinook and coho salmon and bull trout, the bald eagle and marbled murrelet may also occur in the project vicinity. The life histories and stock status of these avian species are also discussed in this document. Discussion of Steller sea lions, which have not been recorded in Port Ludlow, but could potentially occur, is also included. July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabG_r.doc:res page 5 -- _/ ~/ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PEN7r-C 3.1.1 Chinook Salmon '- 3.1.1.1 Life History Chinook salmon prefer to spawn and rear in the mainstem of rivers and larger streams (Williams et aI. 1975, Healey 1991). In the Qui1cene River system, the Big Qui1cene River is the only system containing sufficient flows during the late summer-early fall spawning migration period to accommodate a sustained run of fall chinook. Occasionally a few chinook are observed spawning in the Little Qui1cene River, although it is felt that these are strays from the run destined for the Big Quilcene. This is an introduced stock of chinook and a large portion of adult returns is attributed to hatchery production (Williams et al. 1975). '-' The adult chinook spawning migration begins in early September and continues into mid-October. Spawning commences in mid-September and terminates early in November. The Federal Fish Hatchery at river mile (RM) 2.8 at the mouth of Penny Creek is the upper limit of salmon migration. The lower 2 mi of the river provide excellent spawning habitat and is used extensively by chinook spawners. Following incubation and subsequent emergence, the majority of chinook fry rear in the system from 90 to 120 days before entering the estuary, with the major outmigration between April and June (Figure 3) (Williams et al. 1975). In watersheds with an unaltered estuary, chinook smolts spend a prolonged period (several days to several weeks) during their spring outmigration feeding in saltmarshes and distributary channels as they transition gradually into more marine waters (Simenstad et al. 1982). Chinook fry and subyearlings in saltmarsh and other shallow habitat predominantly prey on emergent insects and epibenthic crustaceans such as gammarid amphipods, mysids, and cumaceans. As chinook mature and move to neritic habitat, they feed on small nekton (decapod larvae, larval and juvenile fish, and euphausiids) and neustonic drift insects (Simenstad et al. 1982; see also detailed life history review by Healey 1991). 3.1.1.2 Stock Status No stock status information was found for the Qui1cene River system fall chinook stock. Because hatchery stocks have been mixed with wild chinook populations within the Hood Canal basin, Hood Canal chinook have been combined into a single stock for the purposes of stock July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 6 '- "--'" ~' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTc-C assessment (WDFW and WWTrr 1994). As of 1992, the stock status of the Hood Canal chinook salmon stock was rated as healthy (WDFW and WWTrr 1994). 3.1.1.3 Critical Habitat ..... '- NMFS designated critical habitat for Puget Sound chinook salmon and Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon on February 16,2000 (50 CFR Part 226). Critical habitat is defined in Section 3(5)(A) of the ESA as "(i) the specific areas within the geographic area occupied by the species.. .on which are found those physical or biological features (1) essential to the conservation of the species and (m which may require special management considerations or protection; and (ii) specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species. ..upon a determination by the Secretary of Commerce that such areas are essential for the conservation of the species" (50 CFR Part 226). In designating critical habitat, NMFS considers the following requirements of the species: (1) space for individual and population growth, and for normal behavior; (2) food, water, air, light, minerals, or other nutritional or physiological requirements; (3) cover or shelter; (4) sites for breeding, reproduction, or rearing of offspring; and, generally, (5) habitats that are protected from disturbance or are representative of the historical geographical and ecological distributions of the species. In addition to these factors, N~FS also focuses on the known physical and biological features (primary constituent elements) within the designated area that are essential to the conservation of the species and that may require special management considerations or protections. These essential features may include, but are not 'limited to, spawning sites, food resources, water quality and quantity, and riparian vegetation (50 CFR Part 226). - In Puget Sound, designated critical habitat for chinook salmon includes all marine, estuarine, and river reaches accessible to the listed species. Puget Sound marine areas include South Sound, Hood Canal, and North Sound to the international boundary at the outer extent of the Strait of Georgia, Haro Strait, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to a straight line extending north from the west end of Freshwater Bay, inclusive (50 CFR Part 226). Thus, all of the waters within the project area are designated as critical habitat for chinook salmon. July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 7 '-' ',-.' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C 3.1.2 Coho Salmon 3.1.2.1 Life History '-' All accessible streams and tributaries draining the upper Hood Canal~Straits basin are used by coho salmon. Spawning occurs in almost every stream area where suitable spawning habitat and conditions permit, including the mainstem of the Big Quilcene River up to the diversion dam barrier at RM 9.4, and in the mainstem Little Qui1cene River up to the City of Port Townsend diversion dam at RM 7.1 (Williams et al. 1975). Mature coho begin entering the basin streams in early October, with the peak of migration occurring in early November; spawning extends over the period from later October until the end of December. The fry emerge from the gravel starting in early March and generally remain in the system for more than a year. The normal outmigration occurs in the second year of freshwater existence from late February to mid-April (Figure 3) (Williams et al. 1975). Because of their larger size when entering salt water, coho are generally considered less dependent on estuarine rearing than chinook or chum salmon (Simenstad et al. 1982). Coho tend to move through estuaries more rapidly, using deeper waters along shorelines. Feeding is primarily on planktonic or small nektonic organisms, including decapod larvae, larval and juvenile fish, and euphausiids (Miller et al. 1976, Simenstad et al. 1982). Coho also eat drift insects and epibenthic gammarid amphipods, especially in turbid estuaries (~ee detailed life history review by Sandercock 1991). Ludlow Creek is the largest subbasin within the Port Ludlow Bay watershed and contributes the greatest discharge of fresh water (FishPro 1993). Waterfalls that occur approximately 1,800 ft upstream of the mouth of the creek serve as a migration barrier to anadromous salmonids. Fish usage of this lower section of Ludlow Creek is documented for coho and chum salmon as spawning and rearing habitat. Field surveys by Washington State Department of Fisheries (WDF; now WDFW) biologists were conducted in the lower 0.5 mi of Ludlow Creek during 1974, 1975, and 1984. Surveys indicated that both coho and chum salmon spawn in this section of the creek, although natural propagation of these species is limited by the short length of stream available (FishPro 1993). Data from 1974 indicated that the highest number of salmon spawning included 23 coho and 14 chum (FishPro 1993). No salmonids were observed in July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc: res page 8 '-' ~.' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c Ludlow Creek during surveys conducted in 1984 and 1986 by WDF (Egan, R., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). Currently it is believed that no native runs occur in the creek (Egan, R., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). 3.1.2.2 Stock Status The status of the Hood Cana1-QuilcenelDabob bays coho stock was considered depressed as of 1992 (WDFW and WWTIT 1994). 3.1.2.3 Critical Habitat No critical habitat has been proposed for Puget Sound/Strait of Georgia coho salmon. 3.1.3 Chum Salmon 3.1.3.1 Life History Chum salmon spend more of their life history in marine waters than other Pacific salmonids. Chum salmon, like pink salmon, usually spawn in coastal areas, and juveniles outmigrate to salt water almost immediately after emerging from the gravel (Johnson et al. 1997). This ocean-type migratory behavior contrasts with the stream-type behavior of some other species in the genus Oncorhynchus (e.g., coho salmon and most types of chinook and sockeye salmon), which usually migrate to sea at a larger size, after months or years of freshwater rearing. It is believed that survival and growth in juvenile chum salmon depend less on freshwater conditions than on favorable estuarine conditions (Johnson et al. 1997). Chum salmon may enter natal river systems from June to March, depending on characteristics of the population or geographic location (Johnson et al. 1997). Of primary focus is the Hood Canal summer chum salmon, with spawning runs occurring between early September and mid-October (Johnson et al. 1997). Two distinct runs of spawning chum salmon are found in the Quilcene River basin in upper Hood Canal. The early run (summer) enters the system in later September and spawns from October 1 to 20, while the late-run (fall) spawners move upstream into the system the first week of November and spawn from mid-November to mid~December (Figure 3) (Williams et al. 1975). July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 9 '- '~ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C Chum salmon juveniles, like other anadromous salmonids, use estuaries to feed before beginning long-distance ocean migrations. However, chum and ocean-type chinook salmon usually have longer residence times in estuaries than do other anadromous salmonids. The period of estuarine residence appears to the most critical phase in the life history of chum salmon and appears to playa major role in determining the size of the subsequent adult run back to fresh water (Johnson et al. 1997). Simenstad et al. (1982) summarized the diets of juvenile salmonids in 16 estuaries and concluded that small (:S; 50- to 60-mm fork length [FL]) juvenile chum salmon feed primarily on such epibenthic crustaceans as harpacticoids copepods, gammarid amphipods, and isopods, whereas large juveniles (> 60-mm FL) in neritic habitats feed on drift insects and on such plankton as calanoid copepods, larvaceans, and hyperiid amphipods. However, the early diet of juvenile chum salmon at localities also consists exclusively of neritic zooplankton. ...... Surveys conducted by WDF in 1974 reported 14 chum salmon spawning in the lower reach of Ludlow Creek below the waterfalls (FishPro 1993). However, no chum salmon were reported in surveys conducted by WDF in 1984 and 1986 (Egan, R., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). In the past, private citizens have attempted enhancement projects for chum salmon in the lower section of Ludlow Creek, but have had minimal success (FishPro 1993). Currently, it is believed that the creek does not support native salmon runs (Egan, R., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). 3.1.3.2 Stock Status No stock status information was found for summer-run chum salmon specific to the Qui1cene River system, but instead the stock status for the entire Hood Canal sUmmer-run chum salmon stock was assessed. Hood Canal summer chum spawn primarily in the Big Qui1cene, Dosewallips, Duckabush, and Hamma Hamma rivers. As of 1992, this stock was classified as critical (WDFW and WWTIT 1994). 3.1.3.3 Critical Habitat Designated critical habitat for Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon includes all river reaches accessible to listed chum salmon (including estuarine areas and tributaries) draining into Hood Canal as well as Olympic Peninsula rivers between and including Hood Canal and July 6. 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 10 ',..,.../ \--- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-c Dungeness Bay. Also included are estuarine/marine areas of Hood Canal, Admiralty Inlet, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the international boundary and as far west as a straight line extending north from Dungeness Bay. Excluded are areas above Cushman Dam on the Skokomish River and above naturally impassable barriers (50 CFR Part 226). ...... 3.1.4 Bull Trout (Native Char) 3.1.4.1 Life History Newly hatched anadromous bull trout emerge from the gravel in the spring (WDFW 1998b). They typically spend 2 years in fresh water before they migrate to salt water, the mainstem of rivers, or reservoirs, although there are populations of bull trout that do not exhibit this behavior; these trout spend their entire lives in the same stretch of headwater stream. These fish may not mature until they are 7 to 8 years old, and rarely reach sizes greater than 14 inches in length (WDFW 1998b). Bull trout typically use pristine headwater areas to spawn (WDFW 1998b). Spawning begins in late August, peaks in September and October, and ends in November. Fish in a given stream spawn over a period of 2 weeks or less. ,Almost immediately after spawning, adults begin to work their way back to the mainstem rivers, lakes, or reservoirs to overwinter. Some of these fish stay in these areas while others move into salt water in the spring. Bull trout will spawn a second or even third time. Kelts feed aggressively to recover from the stress of spawning (WDFW 1998b). Bull trout are opportunistic feeders, eating aquatic insects, shrimp, snails, leeches, fish eggs, and fish. Early beliefs that these fish are serious predators of salmon and steelhead are generally not supported today (WDFW 1998b). Any bull trout that may occur in the action area likely originate from rivers other than the Qui1cene River system, which does not have distinct stock of bull troutJDolly Varden (WDFW 1998a). July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc: res page 11 '~ \-,' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C 3.1.4.2 Stock Status The status and occurrence of anadromous populations of bull trout in Puget Sound are subject to some scientific debate; separation of anadromous bull trout from the closely related anadromous Dolly Varden char (S. malma) is very difficult and can only be accomplished using electrophoretic techniques (Leary and Allendorf 1997). The lead WDFW char biologist believes that there is one species of native char in the Puget Sound region that may have fluvial, adfluvial, and anadromous components in any given river system (Kraemer, c., WDFW, pers. comm., April 4, 2000). Until further resolution is possible, WDFW has made a decision to manage all Puget Sound stocks as if they were a single bull troutJDolly Varden (native char) complex (Washington Department of Wildlife [WDW; now WDFW] 1993). 3.1.4.3 Critical Habitat '- The USFWS does not have sufficient information to conduct analyses required to determine critical habitat for bull trout (native char) in Puget Sound. As a result, the service has not yet proposed or designated critical habitat (Chan, J., USFWS, pers. comm., March 22, 2000; USFWS 1999a). 3.1.5 Bald Eagle 3.1.5.1 Life History Bald eagles historically ranged throughout North America except extreme northern Alaska and Canada and central and ,southern Mexico. The bald eagle's habitat includes estuaries, large lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. In Washington, resident bald eagle populations occur primarily near large bodies of water west of the Cascade Mountains (Rodrick and Milner 1991). Bald eagles are known to occur in the Puget Sound area. Nest trees are typically, but not always, tall conifers with most nest trees located within 1 mi of large bodies of water with adequate food supplies (Anthonyet al. 1982). The diet of bald eagles at a site in Puget Sound (Discovery Park) has been studied by watching birds as they hunt and return with prey to an active nest site (Parametrix 1992-1995 and 1996). Marine and freshwater fish were identified as the preferred prey of these eagles during July 6,2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 12 ,-. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c five seasons of observation, comprising over 84 percent of all captures and deliveries. Birds contributed a much smaller proportion (7.3 percent) of the eagles' diet. Fish species that were identified visually when the adult eagles were observed feeding their young included salmonids, catfish, pollock, cod, rockfish, carp, dogfish, sculpin, perch, and hake. Eagle foraging is best described as opportunistic, as they will take advantage of whatever prey is easiest to obtain. Bald eagles generally begin courtship activities in November. Copulation occurs from December to March, with egg laying and incubation during March. Eggs usually hatch in April and brooding occurs through June. Eaglets generally fledge in June or July. Adults often depart from the nesting area in August. They return the following fall to commence the nesting cycle. Tillie fluctuations in breeding activity can be attributed to weather changes affecting foraging or nest success (Parametrix 1992, 1993a, 1994, 1995, 1996). 3.1.5.2 Population Status After World War IT, bald eagle populations declined significantly, largely as a result of the use of organochlorine pesticides and loss of nesting habitat (USFWS 1999b). In 1963, only \ 417 nesting pairs of bald eagles were known to occur in the lower 48 states. In 1978, the bald eagle was listed as an endangered species in the continental United States, except in Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, where it was listed as threatened (USFWS 1986). Due to recovery efforts, there are now an estimated 5,478 nesting pairs in the continental United States (USFWS 1999b). As a result, biologists believe that the bald eagle may no longer require special protection under the ESA. In July 1999, the USFWS proposed to remove the bald eagle from the list of threatened and endangered species. A final decision on deli sting is expected in July 2000. 3.1.5.3 Critical Habitat No critical habitat has been designated for bald eagles in Puget Sound. July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 13 "-/ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C 3.1.5.4 Preliminary Effects Determination Proposed project activities will be confined to limited intertidal and subtidal areas and will not significantly affect eagle foraging areas or prey. Thus, the proposed action may affect, but is not likely to directly or indirectly adversely affect, bald eagles that may occur in the project vicinity. Also, no interrelated or interdependent actions are expected to affect bald eagles. No further discussion of the effects of the project on the species is warranted or included in this document. 3.1.6 Marbled Murrelet ..... 3.1.6.1 Life History The marbled murrelet, a small seabird that nests in the coastal, old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, inhabits the Pacific coast of North America from the Bering Sea to central California. In contrast to other seabirds, murrelets do not form dense colonies, and may fly 70 Ian or more inland to nest, generally in older coniferous forests. They are more commonly found inland during the summer breeding season, but make daily trips to the ocean to gather food, primarily fish and invertebrates, and have been detected in forests throughout the year. When not nesting, the birds live at sea, spending their days feeding and then moving several kilometers offshore at night (SEI 1999). The breeding season of the marbled murrelet generally begins in April, with most egg laying occurring in late May and early June. Peak hatching occurs in July after a 27- to 30-day incubation. Chicks remain in the nest and are fed by both parents. By the end of August, chicks have fledged and dispersed from nesting areas (Marks and Bishop 1999). The marbled murrelet differs from other seabirds in that its primary nesting habitat is old-growth coniferous forest within 50 to 75 mi of the coast. The nest typically consists of a depression on a moss-covered branch where a single egg is laid. Marbled murrelets appear to exhibit high fidelity to their nesting areas, and have been observed in forest stands for up to 20 years (Marks and Bishop 1999). Marbled murrelets have not been known to nest in other habitats including alpine forests, bog forests, scrub vegetation, or scree slopes (Marks and Bishop 1999). July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptl udlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 14 '-' \~ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C '- Marbled murrelets are presumably long-lived species but are characterized by low fecundity (one egg per nest) and low nesting and fledging success. Fledging success has been estimated at 45 percent. Nest predation on both eggs and chicks appears to be higher for marbled murrelets than for other a1cids, and may be cause for concern. Principal predators are birds, primarily corvids (jays, ravens, and crows) (Marks and Bishop 1999). '- At sea, foraging murrelets are usually found as widely spaced pairs. In some instances murrelets form or join flocks that are often associated with river plumes and currents. These flocks may contain sizable portions of local populations (Ralph and Miller 1999). ..... 3.1.6.2 Population Status The total North American population of marbled murrelets is estimated to be 360,000 individuals. Approximately 85 percent of this population breeds along the coast of Alaska. Estimates for Washington, Oregon, and California vary between 16,500 and 35,000 murrelets (Ralph and Miller 1999). In British Columbia, the population was estimated at 45,000 birds in 1990 (Environment Canada 1999). In recent decades the murrelet population in Alaska and British Columbia has apparently suffered a marked decline, by as much as 50 percent. Between 1973 and 1989, the Prince William Sound, Alaska, murrelet population declined 67 percent. Trends in Washington, Oregon, and California are also down, but the extent of the decrease in unknown. Current data suggest an annual decline of at least 3 to 6 percent throughout the species' range (Ralph and Miller 1999). '-- The most serious limiting factor for marbled murrelets is the loss of habitat through the removal of old-growth forests and fragmentation of forests. Forest fragmentation may be making nests near forest edges vulnerable to predation by other birds such as jays, crows, ravens, and great-homed owls (USFWS 1996). Entanglement in fishing nets is also a limiting factor in coastal areas due to the fact that the areas of salmon fishing and the breeding areas of marbled murrelets overlap. The marbled murrelet is especially vulnerable to oil pollution; in both Alaska and British Columbia, it is considered the seabird most at risk from oil pollution. In 1989, an estimated 8,400 marbled murrelets were killed as a result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill (Marks and Bishop 1999). Marbled murrelets forage in nearshore waters where recreational boats are most often found. Disturbance by boats may cause them to abandon the best feeding areas (Environment Canada 1999).

Proposed project activities will be confined to limited intertidal and subtidal areas and will not significantly affect murrelet foraging areas or prey. Thus, the proposed action may affect, but is not likely to directly or indirectly adversely affect, marbled murrelets that may occur in the project vicinity. Also, no interrelated or interdependent actions are expected to affect marbled murrelets. No further discussion of the effects of the project on the species is warranted or included in this document. 3.1.7 Steller Sea Lion 3.1.7.1 Life History The Steller sea lion was listed as a threatened species under emergency rule by NMFS in April 1990; final listing for the species became effective in December 1990, Steller sea lion habitat includes both marine and terrestrial areas that are used for a variety of purposes. Terrestrial areas (e.g., beaches) are used as rookeries for pupping and breeding. Rookeries usually occur on beaches with substrates that include sand, gravel, cobble, boulder, and bedrock (NMFS 1992). Haul-out areas are used other than during the breeding and pupping season. Sites used as rookeries may be used as haul-out areas during other times of the year. When Steller sea lions are not using rookery or haul-out areas, they occur in nearshore waters and out over the continental shelf. Some individuals may enter rivers in pursuit of prey (Jameson and Kenyon 1977). '- Steller sea lions are opportunistic feeders and consume a variety of fishes such as flatfish cod, and rockfish; and invertebrates such as squid and octopus. Demersal and off-bottom schooling fishes predominate (Jones 1981). Steller sea lions along the coasts of Oregon and California have eaten rockfish, hake, flatfish, cusk-eel, squid, and octopus (Fiscus and Baines 1966, Jones 1981, Treacy 1985); rockfish and hake are considered to be consistently important prey items (NMFS 1992). Feeding on lamprey in estuaries and river mouths has also been documented at '-' July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 16 .... '--- '--"' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTc-c sites in Oregon and California (Jones 1981, Treacy 1985). Spalding (1964) and Otesiuk et al. (1990) have documented Steller sea lions feeding on salmon, but they are not considered to be a major prey item (Osborne 1988). o.....J The breeding range of Steller sea lions extends from southern California to the Bering Sea (Osborne 1988). Breeding colonies consisting of small numbers of sea lions also exist on the outer coasts of Oregon and British Columbia. There are currently no breeding colonies in Washington State (NMFS 1992), although three major haul-out areas exist on the Washington outer coast and one major haul-out area is located at the Columbia River south jetty (NMFS 1992). Jagged Island and Spit Rock are used as summer haul-outs, and Umatilla Reef is used during the winter (National Marine Mammal Laboratory, unpublished data). Other rocks, reefs, and beaches as well as floating docks, navigational aids, jetties, and breakwaters are also used as haul-out areas (NMFS 1992). .... Responses to various types of human-induced disturbances have not been specifically studied. Close approach by humans, boats, or aircraft will cause hauled-out sea lions to go into the water. Disturbances that cause stampedes on rookeries may cause trampling and abandonment of pups (Lewis 1987). Areas subjected to repeated disturbance may be permanently abandoned (Kenyon 1962), and/or the repeated disturbance may negatively affect the condition or survival of pups through interruption of normal nursing cycles. Low levels of occasional disturbance may have little long-term effect (NMFS 1992). 3.1.7.2 Population Status The worldwide Steller sea lion population is estimated at just under 200,000, with the majority occurring in Alaska. The range of the Steller sea lion extends around the North Pacific Ocean rim from northern Japan, the Kuril Islands and Okhotsk Sea, through the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea, along Alaska's southern coast, and south to California (Kenyon and Rice 1961, Loughlin et al. 1984). 3.1.7.3 Critical Habitat No critical habitat for Steller sea lions has been designated in Puget Sound. July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 17 ...."_../ "-, Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c 3.1.7.4 Preliminary Effects Determination Steller sea lions are rare in the action area and are not expected to approach the project area because of low prey availability and because they are expected to avoid the relatively constant human activity in the Port Ludlow Marina area. Because of the innate escape responses of marine mammals and the pelagic habitats they use, there is virtually no risk of a direct take or injury that could result from project-related activities. Although Port Ludlow could potentially be used as a haul-out area for Steller sea lions, it would be unusual (Jefferies, S., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). There are no interrelated or interdependent action effects that are expected to any Steller sea lions that may use the action area. The conclusion of this BE is that the project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, Steller sea lions. No further discussion of the effects of the project on the species is included in this document. 3.2 EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS The existing habitat in the action area is described in this section in the context of a series of "pathways" and "indicators" (NMFS 1999). Pathways represent groups of environmental attributes important to anadromous fish and their habitats. Indicators may be either metric (numeric) ordescriptive and are measures of how near-optimal the habitat is for the pathway and species in question. Within the context of this BE, the concept of pathways and indicators is useful to frame discussions of how the proposed project will influence (improve, maintain, or degrade) each indicator. A list of pathways and indicators considered in this BE is provided in Table 1. Relevant pathways and indicators are discussed in the following sections. The net effect of an action is considered to be the overall effect on the species and habitat in the long term. For example, a short-term adverse condition (e.g., loss of infauna during dredging or debris removal) may be necessary to achieve a long-term improvement in benthic habitat and quality; in such a case, the net effect is positive and would contribute toward improvement inthe infauna indicator. Moreover, short-term adverse conditions that occur when few or no listed species are present do not constitute adverse modifications of the indicator species' habitat quality.

Background noise levels are expected to be similar to those that would occur within other residential communities throughout the Puget Sound basin. Existing sources of noise are expected from vehicular traffic, the operation of internal combustion engines associated with various maintenance activities, and other activities that would typically occur in a residential community. Existing activities associated with the Port Ludlow Marina also generate noise within the action area and include boating and float plane traffic. Boating and float plane activities are greatest during the summer months. 3.2.2 Water Quality and Stormwater ..... The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) has classified all waters of Port Ludlow as Class AA. Water quality monitoring of Port Ludlow Bay since 1984 has demonstrated that overall water quality in Port Ludlow Bay is excellent, consistent with its Class AA designation (Jefferson County 1993). A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) point-source monitoring program for the Port Ludlow Wastewater Treatment Plant was conducted from 1989 through 1997. This monitoring program documented water quality in Port Ludlow Bay during the environmentally critical months of May through October. The results of the point-source monitoring demonstrated continued excellent water quality in Port Ludlow Bay. The point-source monitoring program is no longer required by Ecology and was discontinued in 1998 (Berryman & Henigar 1999). A program to monitor nonpoint sources of pollutants to Port Ludlow Bay was initiated by Pope Resources, developers of the Port Ludlow Marina. Monitoring has continued since 1989, with the objectives of (1) establishing baseline water quality conditions, (2) evaluating the impacts of development activities and related nonpoint sources, (3) evaluating the effectiveness of nonpoint source controls such as stormwater management systems, and (4) monitoring long-term trends of bay water quality (Berryman & Henigar 1999). Pope Resources conducted July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 19 ._~ "- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c its most recent nonpoint monitoring in 1998. This nonpoint-source monitoring program was designed to assess long-term trends in water quality during baseflow and stormflow conditions in the major tributaries to Port Ludlow Bay. Baseflow conditions are generally measured May through October, while stormflow conditions are measured during storm events. During the 1998 monitoring program, stormflow water quality was measured during December. Stations were monitored for flow, fecal coliform, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and temperature. During some years, some stations were monitored for metals and pesticides. No long-term upward or downward trends in constituent concentrations are evident for any of the monitoring stations. Constituent concentrations, for the most part, have not been increasing along with the increased population density of the watershed. Concentrations of most constituents (e.g., fecal coliform) have been higher during storm events than during baseflows, which is consistent with the findings of other watershed studies (Berryman & Henigar 1999). Concentrations of dissolved and total metals continue to be low during storm events and very low during baseflows (Berryman & Henigar 1999). ...... Nutrient (phosphorus and nitrogen) concentrations in the freshwater tributaries are in the typical range for rural watersheds during both baseflow and stormflow. Overall, nutrient loading to Port Ludlow Bay from these tributaries is extremely low (Berryman & Henigar 1999). Based on the results of the nonpoint-source monitoring program, water quality conditions in Port Ludlow Bay do not appear to be adversely impacted by watershed activities (Berryman & Henigar 1999). 3.2.3 Sediment Quality As part of the nonpoint-source monitoring program, sediment samples have been collected from the bay at locations where stormwater discharge is known to occur. Samples were analyzed for a variety of constituents, including oil and grease, total metals, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Results of sediment quality monitoring have demonstrated sediment quality to be excellent within Port Ludlow Bay. Pesticides and PCBs were not detected, as were mercury, selenium, and silver. Of those metals that were detected, July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 20 '- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C concentrations were well below Washington's Sediment Quality Standards (SQS) (Jefferson County 1993). Sediment samples collected within Port Ludlow Marina between 1987 and 1995 had concentrations of metals that were well below their respective SQS (Table 2) (Vasey Engineering 1995). 3.2.4 Habitat 3.2.4.1 Access/Refugia Juvenile salmonids have largely unrestricted access to and through the action area. Shoreline areas are crossed by elevated, fixed walkways that are relatively narrow (e.g., < 8 ft) and are not expected to significantly shade beach areas or interfere with alongshore migration by juvenile salmonids. Port Ludlow Marina has floats that may provide refuge for juvenile salmonids using nearshore areas in the vicinity. Studies by Pentec (1997), Salo et al. (1980), and Ratte and Salo (1985) have shown evidence that migrating juvenile salmonids use overwater structures as cover when they are disturbed by overhead activities. These studies also found no evidence that overwater structures in Puget Sound concentrate predators on juvenile salmonids. 3.2.4.2 Substrate '- Sediments under the marina are relatively fine-grained native sediments (Echelon Engineering 2000). Sediment samples collected in 1995 near the western end of C-dock were described as being black and anoxic and composed primarily of sand and shell fragments (Vasey Engineering 1995). Substrate available to organisms is modified by growth of green algae (V/va spp.) and probably several other species on cobbles in the middle and lower intertidal zone. No eelgrass has been reported in the action area. Eelgrass is generally present on suitable substrates (sand/silt) at depths between mean lower low water (MLLW) and about -18 ft MLLW in the central Puget Sound region; however, an underwater survey conducted on December 10, 1999, found no eelgrass under the existing marina or in areas that would be directly affected by the project (Echelon Engineering 2000). Existing pilings of the dock provide an additional substrate type that supports a dense epibiota dominated by barnacles and mussels in the intertidal zone. Hydroids, tubeworms, and anemones are expected to be the dominant piling organisms July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc: res page 21 '- '--. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENrr-c below about MLL W Existing floats support dense growths of a variety of plants and animals, as well as some eelgrass, and can be expected to provide a rich feeding ground for migrating salmon (e.g., Kozloff 1987) (Appendix B). 3.2.4.3 Slope The Port Ludlow Marina was constructed in the late 1970s, and the boat basin was created by dredging. The slope of the substrate beneath the marina was created as a result of the initial dredging. From the steeper riprap shore in the upper intertidal area that borders the shoreward ..... side of the marina, the beach slopes at an approximately 6 percent grade. The beach is composed of quarry spawl and small riprap (Appendix B). At the seaward extent of the marina, the slope decreases, with depths at the outer margin of the marina between 35 ft and 40 ft. Prom this point, there is a gradual slope to the middle of Port Ludlow Bay where bottoms depths vary between 50 and 60 ft. Most of the marina expansion will occur along the outer margin of the marina in water depths of 35 to ;;::: 40 ft. 3.2.4.4 Flow/Current Patterns The location, geometry, and orientation of Port Ludlow Bay is such that the strong offshore ebb-and-flood tidal currents in Admiralty Inlet create a large eddy in the outer portion of Port Ludlow Bay that appears to reverse direction with each tidal stage. Waters from Admiralty Inlet are drawn into the bay under a wide variety of tidal conditions. Current measurements, drogue observations, and salt balance calculations made in 1984 and 1986 indicated that the outer bay eddy is accompanied by a complex pattern of currents that exert influence into the central portion of the bay. Significantly more water is circulated into and out of the bay due to eddies and currents than would be the case if only a simple ebb-and-flood pattern existed. As a consequence, the bay may be better mixed and better flushed than many bays within Puget Sound. Mixing is further enhanced by vertical currents and upwelling at the entrance and head of Port Ludlow Bay (Jefferson County 1993). Flushing of the bay is caused by tidal currents, fresh water from streams and rainfall, wind- mixing of the surface water, and local vertical mixing. Salt balance calculations indicated that the volume of water exchanged daily between Port Ludlow and Admiralty Inlet average 39 percent per day and vary from 20 to 50 percent of the total volume of the bay, dependent upon July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 22 ',,- "-' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PEN7r-C the time of year and prevailing tidal range. The time to exchange the water volume of the bay, including the innermost reaches, was estimated to be between 2 to 5 days. Localized portions of the bay may have longer or shorter flushing rates. The flushing time for the outer bay has been estimated to be 9 hours on average (Jefferson County 1993). ...... 3.2.5 Biota 3.2.5.1 Prey-Epibenthic Zooplankton ...... Epibenthic zooplankton, primarily crustaceans, and terrestrial insects are important prey for juvenile chinook salmon in estuaries (Simenstad et al. 1988, Healey 1991). Several of the habitat I indicators listed above are important in determining the productivity and composition of the ....... epibenthic community. No studies have been conducted within the action area that have examined benthic and epibenthic biota. 3.2.5.2 Prey-Pelagic Zooplankton' Calanoid copepods are often abundant in the diet of juvenile chinook salmon in urban estuaries (Weitkamp and Schadt 1982). Production of calanoids and other potential pelagic prey of salmonids is largely dependent on water-column processes in outer Port Ludlow and adjacent marine waters. Pelagic zooplankton productivity is dependent on the presence of adequate light and nutrients to stimulate phytoplankton and is not influenced greatly by conditions along shorelines or in deeper water in the vicinity of the Port Ludlow Marina. 3.2.5.3 Prey-Forage Fish Larval, juvenile, and adult Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus) are important forage fish for juvenile, subadult, and adult salmonids (Healey 1991). Alteration of spawning habitat for these species may directly affect the abundance of forage for a range of age groups of chinook salmon. Surf smelt and sand lance spawn within Port Ludlow; however, there are no data indicating that spawning occurs within the project area (Bargmann, G., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). A very large school of juvenile herring (e.g., 100 to 150 mm) was seen foraging in the west-central '-' portion of the marina during a site visit on December 10, 1999. July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 23 ,--,' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTc-c 3.2.5.4 Vegetation Eelgrass beds are recognized as habitats of statewide significance due to their high production rates of prey for salmonids and other fishes, for the structural diversity they provide, and as a site for herring spawning (e.g., Simenstad et al. 1988). Macroalgae also are recognized as a contributor to habitat complexity and primary productivity. In contrast to eelgrass, macroalgae readily colonizes all appropriate rocky, cobble, or artificial substrates. Particular macroalgal beds (e.g., kelp forests) have more specific habitat needs. Aquatic vegetation occurs in the action area primarily attached to intertidal cobbles, docks, and pilings. No benthic eelgrass or kelp beds are reported within the project area (Echelon Engineering 2000), but macro algae and eelgrass are both found on existing floats within the marina. Ulva sp. and Mastocarpus sp. were identified along the lower intertidal shoreline immediately north of the marina during visits on December 10, 1999, and February 9, 2000. Shoreline vegetation observed along the upper intertidal area north of the marina included pickleweed (Salicornia virginica), seaside plantain (Plantago maritima), gumweed (Grindelia integrifolia), fleshy jaumea (Jaumea carnosa), and saltweed (Atriplex patula). '-- 3.2.5.5 Ecological Diversity Ecological diversity is an abstract concept relating to the variety of habitats and assemblages present in a given area. A greater ecological diversity is often considered to reflect a more stable, productive, and/or healthy ecosystem, although the tie to habitat quality for salmon is theoretical, not empirical. No studies have been conducted within the action area investigating ecological diversity; however, it is expected to be moderate to high, based on the diversity of habitats present and the gradient of conditions from the Ludlow Creek estuary to the deep central portion of Port Ludlow itself.

This section discusses short-term and long-term, direct and indirect effects of the Port Ludlow Marina expansion project activities, as well as the net effects of those activities on salmonids listed and proposed for listing under ESA. Only those pathways and their associated indicators that are likely to be affected by the project in some way are discussed in this section. A primary factor reducing the risk of impact to juvenile salmonids is the restriction of inwater activities to periods when few juveniles will be present in the work area. No reports have been found that suggest that adult salmonids would be vulnerable to impact or take from the types of activities included in the proposed action. Net effect is considered to be the overall effect on the species and habitat in the long term. The net effects of the proposed project on each indicator are summarized in Table 3. '- 4.1.1 Construction Disturbances 4.1 .1 .1 Short-Term Effects '- Direct Effects-Approximately 40 to 60 concrete or steel pilings will be installed as part of the marina expansion project. Piles will be installed using a barge-mounted pile driver. Feist et al. (1996) investigated the impacts of pile driving on juvenile pink and chum salmon behavior and distribution in Everett Harbor, Washington. The authors reported that there may be changes in general behavior and school size, and that fish appeared to be driven toward the acoustically isolated side of the site during pile driving. However, the prevalence of fish schools did not change significantly with and without pile driving, and schools were often observed about the pile-driving rigs themselves. No impacts on feeding were reported. The study concluded that any effects of pile-driving noise on juvenile salmonid fitness would be very difficult to measure quantitatively. Once the pilings are in place, pre-constructed sections of walkways and finger piers will be floated into place and assembled. No significant noise or disturbance will be generated by these actions. Because the proposed inwater construction would occur outside of July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 25 '-~ \.--- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C time periods when significant numbers of juvenile salmonids are expected to be present, no significant effect or take is expected from project construction activities. '- Ambient noise levels wi11likely increase during pile-driving activities and may temporarily disrupt foraging behavior of bald eagles in the vicinity of the project area. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducted monitoring studies to determine the potential impacts on wintering eagles associated with pile-driving activities at Orcas and Shaw Islands in San Juan County, Washington, from December 15, 1986, through March 15, 1987 (Bottorff et al. 1987). Each of the monitoring areas was associated with a Washington State ferry terminal, thus background noise sources included ferry whistles, boat motors, chain saws, aircraft, and other construction noises including front end loaders, cranes, generators, diesel trucks, hammers, and other general noise sources associated with construction areas. Noise readings were taken at the construction sites and various intermediate points out to about 6,000 ft from the construction sites. ...... ...... Driving of wood piles did not visibly disturb the eagles observed during the course of the study. A steel pile, which produces some of the loudest noises during pile-driving activities, may have disturbed a bald eagle at a distance of 4,000 ft. However, this same pair of eagles had been in the same location during the driving of two steel piles earlier in the day and exhibited no visible disturbance reaction. The eagle pair returned to their preferred perch and no further adverse reactions were observed, even after over 100 wood piles were driven (Bottorff et al. 1987). .....! According to the authors, between 0.25 and 0.5 mi from the construction site and beyond, construction noises were similar in level to background noise. Environmental factors such as wind and wave action, movement of tree branches and forest litter, barking dogs, bird noises, automobiles, airplanes, human voices, woodcutting, light construction activities, boats, and other unidentified noise sources create ambient noise levels that are similar to noise levels produced by pile driving at distances of 0.25 to 0.5 mi away from the point source (Bottorff et al. 1987). '-- WSDOT also monitored noise levels during pile-driving activities at their Anacortes facility (Visconty, S., Washington State Ferries, pers. comm., March 9,2000). For comparison purposes, background noise levels were monitored at the Friday Harbor terminal. At the Friday Harbor terminal, ambient noise levels around the closest bald eagle nest (located near the terminal) July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 26 '---- "--' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PEN7r-c ranged between 45 and 72 dBA, 40 to 51 dBA for local harbor traffic noise, and 69 to 74 dBA from use of a 100-ton crane at the terminal. Pile-driving noise at the Anacortes facility ranged from 105 to 115 dBA at 15 m (50 ft) from the noise source. Noise levels were highest when a pile was first driven and decreased near completion because of a reduction of exposed surface area and increased stiffness as the pile became more embedded (Visconty, S., Washington State Ferries, pers. comm., March 9, 2000). Simultaneous readings taken at several distances to determine propagation loss at Anacortes indicated 'a 6-dBA decrease in sound pressure for every doubling of distance. Given this information, at 560 m (1,850 ft) from the noise source at Anacortes, the sound was 70 dBA, well within measured background ambient noise levels recorded at the Friday Harbor terminal (Visconty, S., Washington State Ferries, pers. comm., March 3,2000). The nearest recorded bald eagle nesting area to the Port Ludlow Marina is located l...J approximately 4,900 ft west of the marina (Guggenmos, L., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). It is likely that residential development within the Port Ludlow area produces background noise levels typical of other communities of similar population and size. Indirect Effects-No short-term indirect effects due to construction disturbances are anticipated. 4.1.1.2 Long-Term Effects No long-term direct or indirect effects due to construction disturbances are anticipated. 4.1.1 .3 Net Effects Pile driving will result in a brief period of increased noise during the Port Ludlow Marina expansion project, possibly causing salmonids and other species to avoid certain areas in the vicinity of the marina during active pile driving. This possible impact is only temporary and will not persist beyond the construction period and will not result in significant or measurable take of juvenile salmonids. Therefore, the net effect of pile driving and removal is to maintain noise levels in the project area (Table 3). July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 27 -- '~' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C 4.1.2 Water Quality 4.1.2.1 Short-Term Effects Direct Effects-Pile driving may produce temporary and localized impacts to water quality. Elevated turbidity plumes are likely to occur in the immediate vicinity of the pile driving. However, the majority of the pile-driving activities will occur at water depths of 35 to 40 ft, away from intertidal areas that are used predominantly by juvenile salmonids. Because of the depth of the water where pilings will be installed, it is highly unlikely that any increased turbidity due to pile driving will affect areas frequented by juvenile salmonids. Pile-driving activities are not expected to appreciably affect dissolved oxygen concentrations in the project area. Juvenile salmon have been shown to avoid areas of unacceptably high turbidities (e.g., Servizi 1988), although they may seek out areas of moderate turbidity (10 to 80 NTU), presumably as cover against predation (Cyrus and Blaber 1987a,b). Feeding efficiency of juveniles is also impaired by turbidities in excess of 70 NTU, well below sublethal stress levels (Bisson and Bilby 1982). Reduced preference by adult salmon homing to spawning areas has been demonstrated where turbidities exceed 30 NTU (20 mg/l suspended sediments). However, chinook salmon exposed to 650 mg/l of suspended volcanic ash were still able to find their natal water (Whitman et al. 1982). Based on these data, it is highly unlikely that the locally elevated turbidities generated by the proposed action will directly affect juvenile or adult salmonids that may be present. Sediment chemistry data from the marina indicate that sediments beneath the marina do not contain elevated concentrations of any organic chemicals or metals. Pile driving, therefore, will not compromise water quality by the resuspension of contaminants in the water column. Indirect Effects-Few, if any, juvenile salmonids are expected in the action area during construction activities; also, few adult chinook salmon or bull trout are expected in the project area during construction. Short-term and localized decreases in dissolved oxygen or increases in turbidity due to project construction may result in avoidance of immediate work areas. Should this avoidance occur, it would have only insignificant and unmeasurable effects on salmonids.

Therefore, the net effect of pile driving and installation is to maintain water quality in the project area (Table 3). 4.1.3 Sediment Quality 4.1.3.1 Short-Term Effects No short-term direct or indirect effects to sediment quality from pile-driving activities are anticipated in the project area. 4.1.3.2 Long-Term Effects No long-term direct or indirect effects to sediment quality from pile-driving activities are anticipated in the project area. 4.1.4 Habitat Conditions 4.1.4.1 Short-Term Effects No short-term direct or indirect effects to habitat conditions from pile-driving or other marina expansion activities are anticipated in the project area. 4.1.4.2 Long-Term Effects No long-term direct or indirect effects to habitat conditions from pile-driving or other marina expansion activities are anticipated in the project area. The square footage of overwater coverage July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 29 '~ '--, Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C of deep water in the Port Ludlow Marina will be increased as part of the expansion project. Approximately 100 slips will be added to the existing marina facilities. Studies by Pentec (1997), Salo et al. (1980), and Ratte and Salo (1985) have shown evidence that migrating juvenile' salmonids use overwatE}r structures as covet when they are disturbed by overhead activities. These studies also found no evidence that overwater structures in Puget Sound concentrate predators on juvenile salmonids. The margins of new floating structures will support growth of a productive epibiota that will add to the overall biological production of the project area. Simenstad et al. (1999) examined the potential impacts of ferry terminal on juvenile salmon migrating along Puget Sound shorelines. The authors addressed three issues regarding the impacts of overwater structures on juvenile salmon: (1) alteration in migratory behavior, (2) reduction in prey production and availability, and (3) increased predation. An assessment of over 60 direct sources of information found evidence that juvenile salmon react to shadows and other artifacts in the shoreline environment created by shoreline structures. While changes in light have been shown to affect salmon migration behavior and thus potentially place them at increased mortality risk, the authors reported that they found no quantitative information on the significance of these behavioral responses to juvenile salmon survival. Juvenile salmon also encounter limited prey resources under shoreline structures when important habitats such as eelgrass (Zostera marina) are disturbed. Modifications to light, temperature, salinity, nutrient levels, and wave action beneath an overwater structure influence the rate of photosynthesis, plant distribution, and survival of specific plant species that directly or indirectly support prey resource composition and production. Despite considerable speculation about increased predation around docks, quantitative evidence for significant increases in predation on salmon associated with docks is lacking. Simenstad et al. (1999) also conducted short-term underwater diving and video surveys at five ferry terminals in Puget Sound (Clinton, Kingston, Port Townsend, Seattle, Vashon) during the major period of juvenile salmon migration to gather preliminary information on the relationships among variations in overwater structures, fish occurrence and relative abundance, light conditions, biological communities, and potential predators. Juvenile salmon were observed migrating under several structures. Existing information indicates that the effects of shoreline structures on migrating juvenile salmon may vary, depending on the design and July 6. 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 30 ~ ''-'' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTroC orientation of the shoreline structure, extent of alteration of the underwater light field, and presence of artificial light. The surveys indicated that summer light intensities were above the critical 10-4 foot candles threshold level required for maintenance of juvenile salmon feeding and schooling, even under the darkest portion of the terminal, at four of the five terminals investigated. However, according to the authors, our understanding of the significance of short-term delays in the salmons' migration and cumulative or synergistic effects is insufficient to provide the quantitative relationships that would be necessary as the basis for developing retrofitting or design modifications to overwater structures. 4.1.4.3 Net Effects The Port Ludlow Marina expansion will not impact fish access, fish refugia, substrate, shoreline, riparian conditions, flow and hydrology, current patterns, or saltwater-freshwater mixing patterns, nor will it result in other habitat disturbances (Table 3). 4.1.5 Biota 4.1.5.1 Short-Term Effects No short-term effects to biota from the Port Ludlow Marina expansion are expected in the project area. 4.1.5.2 Long-Term Effects Direct Effects-The installation of 40 to 60 concrete or steel pilings in the project area at water depths of 35 to 40 ft will result in the destruction of benthic habitat within the footprint of each piling. Assuming that each piling is approximately 60 cm in diameter, the area covered by the foot of each piling is about 0.283 m2, or about 11.3 to 17 m2 for 40 to 60 pilings. Benthic habitat within the footprint of each piling will be permanently destroyed. However, the pilings will provide additional surface area for colonization by marine plants and animals. Colonization by marine algae will, in turn, provide additional habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates. Expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina will result in an increase in the area of overwater structure within the project area, which will in turn result in increased shading of predominantly July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 31 '- '--/ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTCoC deep (> 35 ft) subtidal habitats beneath the structures. Under existing conditions, the project area does not provide substantial habitat for aquatic vegetation except on marina floats and on intertidal hard structures. Increased shading of underlying substrates may result in minor decreases in microalgae and benthic productivity in the area directly beneath the new floats; however, the floats will also provide substantial additional surface area for colonization by aquatic vegetation and invertebrates. The Washington State Department of Fisheries conducted a study of Skyline Marina in north Puget Sound in which fish, zooplankton, and water quality characteristics were compared to the marina's source water in monthly surveys conducted from,March to October 1978 (Cardwell et al. 1980). The study concluded that the marina's fish populations were numerically larger, more diverse, and richer in species than those in the bay. The majority of the Pacific herring, coho salmon, and chinook salmon were captured within the marina, whereas most chum and pink salmon were captured in Burrows Bay. An experimental release of chum salmon fry into the marina suggested rapid emigration and a median residence time of one week or less. Predation on baitfish and salmon juveniles in the marina was judged to be low due to an apparent scarcity of potential bird and fish predators during the period of maximum juvenile fish abundance (May to September) (Cardwell et al. 1980). Surface zooplankton in the marina were less dense and rich in species than those in the bay, and several holoplanktonic species (e.g., siphonophores and tunicates) were either absent or present in reduced densities. Calanoid copepods, the primary prey of chum and pink salmon, surf smelt, and Pacific herring, were most abundant in the bay. Conversely, the principal prey of chinook and coho salmon, brachyura and teleost larvae, were most abundant in the marina (Cardwell et al. 1980). lllumination of the Port Ludlow Marina at night with artificial lighting is not expected to adversely impact salmonids that may use the marina area. Salo et al. (1977, as cited in Parametrix 1993b) and Prins low et al. (1979, as cited in Parametrix 1993b) studied the effects of artificial lighting along the edges of a pier apron on Hood Canal. However, this study considered only the effects of lights at night. Young salmon, as well as other fish, were attracted to the lighted areas at the edge of the aprons. In this situation, the lights were hung from the apron edges and directed at the water's surface. Light levels as low as 0.2 foot candles (ft-c) at the July 6, 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 32 -... -- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c water surface caused young chum salmon to be attracted from an area of 5 to 10m during nighttime periods. These light levels also attracted young herring and sandlance. Light levels of 19 to 37 ft-c attracted substantial numbers of chum salmon and other fish. These attractions of young fish were to areas adjacent to the piers rather than under the aprons. Ratte and Salo (1985, as cited in Parametrix 1993b) studied the effects of artificial lighting under a Port of Tacoma pier apron. Generally they obtained higher catches in traps with the lights off than with the lights on. These results suggest that young salmon tended to avoid the artificially lighted area to some degree. Indirect Effects-No adverse long-term, indirect effects on biota are expected to result from the proposed action. 4.1.5.3 Net Effects The expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina will result in biota in the project area generally being maintained in their current condition, but will increase the substrate available for colonization by plants and animals. Floats and upper portions of pilings will support production of epibenthic zooplankton preferred as prey by juvenile salmonids (e.g., Kozloff 1987) (Table 3). 4.1.6 Net Effects of Action The net effect of the proposed Port Ludlow Marina expansion will be to maintain all of the indicators for each of the six pathways in their current conditions. Short-term, localized, and minimal water quality degradation during pile driving will not impact habitat for juvenile salmonids because of seasonal work restrictions; thus, current water quality conditions will be maintained in the long term. 4.1.7 Cumulative, Interdependent, and Interrelated Effects 4.1.7.1 Cumulative Effects Cumulative effects are those effects of future state or private activities, not involving activities of other federal agencies, that are reasonably certain to occur within the action area of July 6,2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 33 ~ ',-" Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c the federal action subject to consultation (50 CPR 402.02 Definitions). Future federal actions that are unrelated to the proposed action are not considered in this section because they require separate consultation pursuant to Section 7 of the ESA. No significant future state or private activities have been identified in the Port Ludlow area. 4.1.7.2 Interdependent and Interrelated Effects Interdependent effects are defined as actions with no independent utility apart from the proposed action. Interrelated effects include those that are a part of a larger action and depend on the larger action for justification. '- Expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina to 100 additional slips will likely result in an increase in the number of vessels moored in the marina, as well as increased human activity and vessel traffic within the marina. Increasing the number of vessels moored in the marina will also increase the area of deep-water substrate beneath the vessels that is shaded; however, because of water depths (> 35 ft), increased shading is not expected to adversely affect habitat or biota in the project area. Because substantial boating activity already occurs within Port Ludlow and the marina, the expected increase in boat traffic is not anticipated to result in any adverse impacts to listed species in the project area or in Port Ludlow Bay. '- The increase in boating traffic within the marina will increase the potential for water pollution from boating-related activities (e.g., oil, transmission fluid, gasoline, and diesel spills). Ecology and the US Coast Guard (USCG) regulate activities (including those that could negatively impact water quality) of commercial and recreational vessels operating in coastal waterways. These regulations include prohibiting bilge and sewage discharge, and requiring that any hazardous material spilled (Le., diesel, gasoline, oil, and transmission fluid) be reported to marina authorities, Ecology, and the USCG. In the event a hazardous material is spilled into the marina, the marina has a hazardous-spill response plan and the appropriate equipment to contain and cleanup any spills (Port Ludlow Marina 1999). 4.2 TAKE ANALYSIS Section 3 of the ESA defines take as "to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, trap, capture, collect or attempt to engage in any such conduct." Under the ESA, "harm" is further July 6,2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 34 '-" .'-"' Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c defined as "significant habitat modification or degradation that results in death or injury to listed species by significantly impairing behavior patterns such as breeding, feeding, or sheltering," and "harass" as "actions that create the likelihood of injury to listed species to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns which include, but are not limited to breeding, feeding or sheltering." '-- The proposed Port Ludlow Marina expansion project is unlikely to significantly modify or degrade habitat in the action area and is unlikely to impair or disrupt normal behavior patterns involving breeding, feeding, or sheltering. Therefore, the proposed Port Ludlow Marina expansion project is not expected to result in the taking of chinook salmon, Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, coho salmon, or bull trout. '-- 4.3 CONSERVATION MEASURES '-- No significant or measurable effects are predicted from the proposed action. However, a number of conservation measures have been incorporated in the marina expansion project. Concrete or steel pilings will be used instead of treated wood pilings to prevent the introduction of any chemical contaminants that could leach from treated wood pilings. Grating or plexiglass will be used on the proposed replacement kayak float, which will allow light to penetrate beneath the float. Furthermore, construction activities will occur when juvenilesalmonids are not likely to be present in the project area. '- The existing water and sediment quality monitoring plan, which monitors water and sediment quality in the marina and throughout Port Ludlow Bay, will continue after the marina expansion project. Water and sediment quality data collected since 1989 indicate that water and sediment quality throughout Port Ludlow meet or exceed state standards. Continued monitoring will provide a means to assess future trends in environmental quality within Port Ludlow Bay. 4.4 DETERMINATION OF EFFECTS NMFSIUSFWS guidelines for the preparation of BEs states that a conclusion of "may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect" is the"... appropriate conclusion when the effects on the species or critical habitat are expected to be beneficial, discountable, or insignificant. Beneficial effects have contemporaneous positive effects without any adverse effects. ..." Insignificant July 6. 2000 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 35 '-' ,--,,' -- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C effects, in the NMFS/USFWS definition, ".. . relate to the size of the impacts and should never reach the size where take occurs...[One would not expect to]...be able to meaningfully measure, detect, or evaluate insignificant effects." Based on the analyses in this BE, this is the expected nature and level of impact of implementation of the proposed project. 4.4.1 Salmon ids The Port Ludlow Marina expansion project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, juvenile chinook, Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, coho salmon, or bull trout (native char). While the conc1usionis focused on chinook salmon and chum salmon, it is applicable to coho salmon and bull trout (native char) as well; however, because of their presumed lesser' dependence on nearshore habitat, these species will be less affected by both the negative and positive aspects of each project component. The proposed action will result in no adverse modification or destruction of designated chinook or Hood Canal summer-run chum critical habitat. No measurable effects and no take of salmonids are expected. 4.4.2 Birds '-' The proposed action may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, bald eagles or marbled murrelets, or their critical habitat. 4.4.3 Marine Mammals ...... The proposed action may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the Steller sea lion or its critical habitat. ......

(Pentec), is preparing a biological assessment for a proposed action to expand a marina. The action will be conducted in Jefferson County at the following location: '- Port Ludlow, Washington, at Township 28 North, Range 1 East, Section 16 ..... As directed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pentec obtained information on endangered, threatened, proposed, and candidate species under NMFS jurisdiction in Puget Sound from NMFS's Habitat Conservation Division Web site (http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/lhabcon/ habweb/listnwr.htm). Based on the Web site, our assessment is that the following species of concern may occur within an area that could be affected by project impacts: Puget Sound chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and coho salmon(o. kisutch), identified as a candidate for listing as threatened. In letters we have received from NMFS regarding other actions, three other listed species have been identified as potentially occurring in Puget Sound: the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), the North Pacific population of humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), and the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The Steller sea lion, humpback whale, and leatherback turtle have not been reported in, nor are they considered likely to be found in, the action area; therefore, we believe that they need not be addressed in the biological assessment for the proposed action.

This response fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We have also enclosed a copy ofthe requirements for Federal agency compliance under the Act (Attachment B). ..... Should the Federal agency determine that a listed species is likely to be affected (adversely or beneficially) by the project, you should request section 7 consultation through this office. If the Federal agency determines that the proposed action is "not likely to adversely affect" a listed species, you should request Service concurrence with that determination through the informal consultation process. Even if there is a "no effect" situation, we would appreciate receiving a copy for our information. Species of concern are those species whose conservation standing is of concern to the Service, but for which further status information is still needed. Conservation measures for species of concern are voluntary, but recommended. Protection provided to these species now may preclude possible listing in the future. ,There may be other federally listed species that may occur in the vicinity of your project which are under thejurisdiction~ofthe National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Please contact NMFS at (360) 753-9530 to request a species list. In addition, please be advised that federal and state regulations may require permits in areas where wetlanqs are identified. You should contact the Seattle District of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for Federal permit requirements and the Washington State Department of Ecology for State permit requirements.

SECTION 7(a) - Consultation/Conference Requires: 1. Federal agencies to utilize their authorities to carry out programs to conserve endangered and threatened species; 2. Consultation with FWS when a federal action may affect a listed endangered or threatened, species to ensure that any action authorized, funded, or carried out by a federal agency is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. The process is initiated by the federal agency after it has determined if its action may affect (adversely or beneficially) a listed species; and 3. Conference with FWS when a federal action is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a proposed species or result in destruction or an adverse modification of proposed critical habitat. SECTION 7(c) - Biological Assessment for Construction Projects * ...... Requires federal agencies' or their designees to prepare a Biolo gical Assessment (BA) for construction proj ects only. The purpose of the BA is to identify any proposed and/or listed species which is/are likely to be affected by a construction project. The process is initiated by a federal agency in requesting a list of proposed and listed, threatened and endangered species (list attached). The BA should be completed within 180 days after its initiation (or within such a time period as is mutually agreeable). If the BA is not initiated within 90 days of receipt of the species list, please verify the accuracy of the list with the Service. No irreversible commitment of resources is to be made during the BAprocess which would result ill violation of the requirements under Section 7(a) of the Act. Planning, design, and administrative actions may be taken; however, no construction may begin. ...... To complete the BA, your agency or its designee should: (1) conduct an onsite inspection of the area to be affected by the proposal, which may include a detailed survey of the area to determine if the species is present and whether suitable habitat exists for either expanding the existing population or potential reintroduction of the species; (2) review literature and scientific data to determine species distribution, habitat needs, and other biological requirements; (3) interview experts including those within the FWS, National Marine Fisheries Service, state conservation department, universities, and others who may have data not yet published in scientific literature; (4) review and analyze the effects of the proposal on the species in terms of individuals and populations, including consideration of cumulative effects of the proposal on the species and its habitat; (5) analyzealtemative actions that may provide conservation measures; and (6) prepare a report documenting the results, including a discussion of study methods used, any problems encountered, and other relevant information. Upon completion, the report should be forwarded to our Endangered Species Division, 510 Desmond Drive SE, Suite 102, Lacey, W A 98503-1273. * "Construction projectlf means any major federal action which significantly affects the quality of the human environment (requiring an EIS), designed primarily to result in the building or erection of human-made Structures such as dams, buildings, roads, pipelines, channels, and the like.
