Dear J. Peters:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment during the prethreshold consultation to expand the Port
Ludlow Marina by adding 100 new slips for 36 to 60-foot vessels, adjacent sidetie areas for vessels over
60 feet in length, and amenities such as dinghy floats and an expanded kayak float (Case No. SDPOO-
00014) located at 1 Gull Drive in Port Ludlow as proposed by Olympic Property Group. We reviewed
the environmental checklist and have the following comments:
SEP A Coordinator:
Several checklist questions were answered with a reference to the "attached biological assessment," which
was not included in the correspondence mailed to Ecology. As this document appears important to
understanding the probability of potential impacts, Ecology would like to receive a copy as soon as
possible.
Ecology's sediment specialist for this area, Russ McMillan, was not able to review the SEP A document
for this proposal. Because this project will likely suspend sediments, Russ will review the document
when he returns next week and send any comments related to this project at that time. Sediments are
among the issues that will be addressed through Ecology's 401 Certification process, so communication
with Mr. McMillan early in the project review/permit process is advised.
Floodplain Management:
The County should address floodplain management issues in their shoreline or building permit to assure
that the project will create no adverse flooding impacts; cause no rise in base flood elevations; and meet
the construction standards required in coastal high hazard areas (V-Zones) as required by county
ordinance.
Shorelands:
As discussed during pre-application meetings, Ecology would like the shoreline permit process to include
consideration riparian habitat enhancement opportunities in upland areas adjacent to the proposed
expansion. Native species trees and shrubs, once established landward of the ordinary high water mark,
would further stabilize soils while providing shade and other functional habitat values, plus visual
screenmg.

The proposed project must be consistent with all applicable policies and other provisions of the Shoreline
Management Act, its rules, and the local shoreline master program.
