Dear Mr. Dorsey:
SUBJECT: Incomplete Hydraulic Project Application Package, Marina Expansion" Port
Ludlow, Tributary to Admiralty Inlet, Section 16, Township 28 North, Range
01 East, Jefferson County, WRIA 17.MARI, WDFW Log No. 00E7804.02
The Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife (WDFW) received your application for a
Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) on llOctober 2001. Your application was incomplete but
will be held on file. To complete your application, please submit the following information to
me at the above address. If you would prefer to have your application returned to you, please
contact me,
These comments are in addition to comments on the 2000 proposal, and should be combined
with the first SEP A comments. They do not replace the comments on the earlier project.
Incomplete plans were submitted with the application.
On the emailed figures it is very difficult to tell with certainty which elements are in
addition to the 2000 proposal and which are in place of the 2000 proposal. To clarify, the
portions of the plan that are the blue 2000 proposal, are now dropped? The blue with red
outline and hatching overlay are both 2000 and 2001, and the red hatching is additional
2001 proposal, correct?
If this is correct, by my quick review it looks like there is a new kayak float, which will
need to be moved deeper than -20 even with grating, and revised so it is as narrow as
possible (see Fresh and Williams in press and 1995.
On your table, please clarify what the net increase in overwater structure of the 2001
proposal is from the existing facility (not just the 2000 proposal, which was not
permitted), and what depths the increased overwater structure occupies. Increased
overwater structure will need to be: 1 )minimized to the absolute possible, and no increase
in over water structure may occur shallower than -20 MLLW. Once all

minimizing/avoiding has taken place, and it is confirmed that no eelgrass will be
impacted, if there is any additional increase in overwater coverage (again which may
only occur deeper than -20MLLW) than we will need to discuss a minimum of 2:1
mitigation. I have offered mitigation options in the past, including moving existing in and
overwater structure, including the gas float, offshore.
I also received a letter of comments from Colby and concur with water quality concerns,
including pump out station capacity and locations. These should be addressed.
Written notice of compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA),
including exemption or type of determination, date of exemption or final
determination date, and lead agency is required.
Please contact your local planning department for information regarding SEPA
requirements and procedures
Once the above-referenced information has been received by this office, your application will be
complete and evaluation of your HP A application will begin. The 45-day review period for
evaluating applications for HPA per RCW 77.55.100 or 77.55.110 will not start until the above-
referenced information is received.
If you have any questions or need assistance in completing your application, please contact me at
(360) 457-2634/shaffjas@dfw.wa.gov.
Sincerely,
I~~
