Portyudlow Bay is located on the west shore of Admiralty Inlet at the mouth of Hood Canal. The ~y is a 2.2 square mile, J-shaped tidal basin, which extends from the mouth of Ludlow Creek 3.5 miles to Admiralty Inlet (Section 16, Township 28 North, Range 01 East, W.M#;~he location of the project is shown in Figures 1 and 2. U / 1.3 Purpose/~iec~ of the Proposal The objective~he Port Ludlow Marina e,ansion are: · To accommodate the increa ng market demand for boat slips. · To respond to market tre s for an increased diversity of berth sizes. · To sustain the growth 0 ort Ludlow community. . To improve customer satisfaction with the condition of the facility. · To upgrade and enhance services and amenities provided on moorage docks. . To minimize potential environmental impacts. · To comply with Jefferson County de7ent ~gulations. 1.4 Proiect History The Port Ludlow Marina was developed by Pope and Talbot in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part ofthe Resort at Ludlow Bay development. ItIl'Xa~ expanded in the late 1970s and has undergone subsequent minor modifications. The mJOna serves guests, boating groups, and Port Ludlow area residents. Visitors to the Resort at LuaIow Bay and Heron Beach Inn also utilize the facilities.

In 1993, the resort area and surrounding residential development underwent a permitting process for redevelopment. The redevelopment included the addition of the Heron Beach Inn, residential townhomes, and a 100- slip expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina. Two EIS documents were prepared. The programmatic EIS for the Port Ludlow Development Program included the 100-slip expansion for the Marina. The project EIS for the Inn at Port Ludlow included impacts from the expansion for the upland #\rrina facilities (office, etc.). /"\ ?7 4- ~ ~- In August of 1998, Jefferson County adopted a new comprehensive land use plan which designated the Port Ludlow community as a Master Planned Resort (MPR). Jefferson County Ordinance Number 08-1004-99 was subsequently adopted in October 1999, adopting new development regulations consistent with the new Comprehensive Plan designation. Under Section 3.902.1 of Ordinance No. 08-1004-99, a project level SEIS "analyzing the resort plan is required prior to issuance of building permits for any new resort development." Section 3.902.6 similarly provides, "Actual resort development may be undertaken in phases, but only following completion of review and approval of a full resort buildout plan through the SEL process." Therefore, Jefferson County will issue no building perm! or e anna expansion until a project level SEIS for the Resort at Ludlow Bay has been submitted to the Ce~at addresses the cumula!i/'Ae jmpacts of both the Resort andMarina Expansion. f5e -w ./....;- ~)~(.Mlcf ~ ~)S/p/Ilf- IV (V1tI1", ft.

Either the sequence of environmental review is from a nonproject document (the 1993 FEIS for the Port Ludlow Development Plan) to a document of narrower scope - a site specific analysis regarding the environmental impacts of the Marina expansion project ( see WAC 197 -ll-060( 5)( c )(i)); or the sequence is from an environmental document on a specific proposal at an early stage to a subsequent environmental document at a later stage (see WAC 197 -11-060( 5)( c )(ii)). . The sequence is not from a narrow project document to a broad policy document (see WAC 197-11-060(5)(d)(i)).

The alternatives include: V Y'Y\ 'Ote. Alternative 1: Proposed Project ~ ~ The Proposed Project adds 100 slips to the marina in a westwar d waterward direction. The existing D-Dock and E-Dock will be extended (12 and 48 ne\V, lips respectively), and a new F-Dock (40 slips) will be constructed. A major trend in the marina industry is towards larger boats (Statewide Recreational Boating Study - Recreational Moorage Analysis and Boating Sewage Disposal Facility Analysis, BST Associates, October 2001); thus, all the new slips will be 36 feet and larger, up to 60 feet in length. The existing kayak float and a dinghy float will also be replaced and/or upgraded. The proposed project is shown in Figure 3.

An additional 19 slips will be added waterward and on the east side ofE-Dock. A new F-Dock (35 slips) and new G-Dock (14 slips) will be constructed waterward ofE-dock; and A-Dock will be extended waterward to provide an additional 32 slips. A new float will also be constructed to connect B-Dock and C-Dock, and the existing kayak float will be repositioned to the new waterward extension of A-Dock. Alternative 2 is shown in Figure 4. Alternative 3: 1993 Design Alternative 3 will include a 100 slip expansion and improvements as conceptually proposed in the 1993 Port Ludlow Development Program Final Environmental Impact Statement. The 100 new slips will be accommodated by: a new dock with 14 slips along the eastern shore of the marina (i.e., east ofthe fuel float); an extension of A-Dock approximately 150 feet waterward to accommodate a new T -shaped dock; a new L-shaped dock approximately 150 feet waterward of E-Dock; and extension ofC-,D-, and E-Docks to the west. Dredging will occur in a slightly less than one acre area near the eastern shore of the marina (along Burner Point) in order to increase water depths and improve access to the new inner dock. Alternative 3 is shown in k 5. ~ Alternative 4: No Action ~ This alternative will result in maintenance of the existing marina facilities, but no expansion of slips or upgrade of amenities such as the dinghy float or kayak float, at this time. 1.7 Scoping Notice and Request for Comments The scoping period for this Draft SEIS was from October 3 to November 2, 2001. Notice of the scoping period was published in The Port Townsend and Jefferson County Leader on October 3, 2001. A public scoping meeting was held at the Port Ludlow Bay Club on October 12,2001. Both written and oral comments were received. A summary ofthe scoping comments is contained in Appendix A.

Impacts of the expansion on views from adjacent properties, adjacent property values, and ingress and egress to the adjacent dock: Three waterfront residential homes, a vacant waterfront residential lot and their associated private four-slip dock are located directly west of the marina. The proposed marina expansion will extend to the west, potentially affecting the views currently enjoyed by these residents and potentially limiting ingress and egress to their dock. . [pacts of the proposed project on shoreline resonrc~s, wi life habitat, and Endangered !~~ecies Act (ESA) listed species: Listed ESA salmonid species, (i.e., chinook salmon and Hood Canal summer- run chum salmon) are known to use this area. Toe proposed expansion could have adverse impacts to food sources, habitat, and water quality. . Impacts of the expansion on water quality: Expansion of the marina and the increase in marina usage could potentially result in an increase in gray and black water diSCharg~rop()Sed action could potentially result in adverse impacts to water quality. / J ~td~ I [,.'IJ I~ +k r" -{rff h.~ v%k.- aF ~ ~ ~~J I~~ {J-( Sf 01$ - )0--- ~~~~ ~ April 2002 ...

The Marina is located on the north shore of the Bay, inside Burner Point. Port Ludlow Bay is located on the west shore of Admiralty Inlet at the mouth of Hood Canal. (Section 16, Township 28 North, Range 01 East, W.M.) The location ofthe project is shown in Figures 1 and 2. 2.1.4 Existing Project Features The Port Ludlow Marina currently provides 280 slips, additional side tie areas for 20 to 40 boats, as well as a boat sewage pump out, dinghy float, fuel float, kayak float, and public access to the water. Water, fire protection, and electrical service are available at the docks. Upland facilities include a store, rest rooms and showers, parking areas, and waterfront trails. In December 2001, the moorage distribution was 225 permanent residents, seven permanent non-residents, and 48 7 slips available for guests. / ~ ~ . ,/ Water depths at the marina vary from shallow intertidal (approximately-l0 feet MLLW) around the perimeter of the marina to depths of -38 feet MLLW. The marina is configured with five dock systems and one fuel float. The fuel float, as well as the A-and B-Docks, are located at the east end of the marina, just inside Burner Point, and extend from shore in a north-south direction. A floating breakwater is located at the end of A-Dock. Two 55-foot gangways provide access to A- and B-Docks, the fuel float, and the kayak float from the upland facilities. The C-, D-, and E-Docks are connected by one central walkway and are located to the west, in a general east- west configuration. These docks are accessed from the upland facilities by a third gangway. The existing 1,600 square foot wood and foam kayak float accommodates 40 kayaks in racks and is located on the west side ofB-Dock. The existing 680 square foot wood dinghy float is located at C-Dock, at the junction ofthe main walkway and the lateral. This dinghy float completely covers the area between the walkway and the first finger to the south. Port Ludlow Morina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS ~. ~~ 2-1 j I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The boat sewage pump-out station is located on the fuel float. The fuel float also accommodates a small structure for fueling accessories and the cash register. The fuel float is also used occasionally by seaplanes for docking. The current mix of slips at the Port Ludlow Marina ranges from 24-foot slips up to side tie areas for boats in the 80-foot range. The recent trend in boat design is toward boats that are longer, have wider beams, and include amenities such as "swim steps." I' ~~ ," I Ytr fJo Adi/SY'o )~ The proposed project is an addition of dock systems .tthe Port Ludlow Marina to provide an. ~~ additional 100 slips. For all alternatives, the existing kayak and dinghy floats will be replaced. l:i ~ The new marina floats will be constructed of concrete sections with structural wood wales and an encapsulated foam floatation core. The new floats will generally be 5 feet to 8 feet in width and will be held in place by new steel piling. Floats for the outer dock will be 12 feet in width. These outer floats serve as a floating breakwater to protect the Marina from waves and wakes. The wider width is necessary to provide this protection. 2.2 Proposed Proiect and Alternatives The only upland actions associated with this project are new utility tie-ins that will be required in an area of approximately 50 feet upland of OHW. Alternative 1: Proposed Project / The proposed project (i.e., the marina expansion as proposed by the project sponsor) is shown as Alternative 1. The proposed project adds 100 slips to the marina by expanding the existing float system both westward and waterward. The proposed configuration of the new floats/slips is as follows: . D-Dock will be extended 120 feet to the west to accommodate an additional twelve 36-foot slips. . E-Dock will be extended 400 feet to the west to accommodate an additional 42 slips (seven 50-foot, nine 60-foot, and twenty-six 45-foot slips). . The east side ofE-Dock will be reconfigured to accommodate sixteen slips (eight 36-foot slips and eight 40-foot slips, to replace 10 existing slips). . A new F-Dock will be constructed waterward ofE-dock. The new F-Dock will extend 700 westerly and 250 feet easterly of the central walkway. The new F-Dock will accommodate 40 new slips (thirty 45-foot slips and ten 50-foot slips). F-Dock will serve as a floating breakwater to protect the Marina. The existing 1,600 square foot (sq.:ft.) timber kayak float will be replaced in the same location with a 2,850 sq.:ft. float with light transmission capabilities. The new kayak float will be constructed using plastic pontoons for floatation and timber for the connection system. The float Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS ~I mmS I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I cross section will consist of three pontoons. A space will be left open between each of the pontoons in the cross section. The new float design will incorporate light-transmission panels. The two gaps between the three pontoons will be spanned by grating or sandblasted plexiglass (versus timber decking), which will allow light to penetrate beneath the float. The existing 680 sq.ftAkghy float on C-Dock will also be replaced with three new floats totaling 1 ,086(squar~ feet~ The floats will be 6 feet wide and attached to the sides of the main walkway and the C-Dock lateral, the E-Dock lateral, and the F-Dock lateral. The new dinghy floats at E and F Docks will be located at water depths of greater than 20 feet (MLL W=O Datum). The new dinghy float at the junction of the main walkway and the C-Dock lateral will open up a now covered side space between the dinghy dock aI!d the first finger. The proposed project is shown in Figure 3. i Alternative 1 will result in an additional 33,745 square f~~q.ft) of overwater structure. Of thiS] _ {,(5f'If~ total, 966 sq.ft. of new overwater structure will be located in water depths ofless than 20 feet ~~, (MLLW=O). The remaining 32,779 sq. ft. will be located at water depths of20 feet or greater. Approximately 100-130 new steel piles will be required. All but one ofthe piles will be located ( t'J ) in water greater than 20 feet in depth. Pile-driving equipment will be ~arge-m~untx.d and will be either a diesel-powered hammer or vibratory driver. Pile-driving equipment will be sized according to the geotechnical characteristics of the substrate. The barge will be sized to accommodate the equipment used during the pile driving. The one piling to be installed in shallow water (18 to 20 feet deep) will be shorter than those to be installed in deeper water, requiring less energy to install than the pilings in deeper water. Installing the one piling in shallow water will take less than 1 day, minimizing the time of potential disturbance of any salmonids that may be present in the nearshore area. The remaining piles will be installed at water depths of greater than 34 feet. The barge will be maintained at sufficient depth to ensure that it will not ground. All pile driving will be done outside the closed work window for listed species. Alternative 2: Deep Water Expansion Alternative 2 provides for a 100-slip expansion primarily waterward, rather than laterally to the west. The existing dinghy dock will remain in place. The proposed configuration of the new floats/slips is as follows: . Thirteen 45-slips will be added to the waterward side ofE-Dock, west of the central walkway. . The east side ofE-Dock will be reconfigured to accommodate sixteen slips (eight 45-foot slips and eight 50-foot slips, replacing 10 existing slips). . New F- and G-Docks will be constructed waterward ofE-Dock. The new F-Dock will extend 250 westerly and 180 feet easterly of the central walkway, and will accommodate 35 slips (twenty-one 45-slips, eight 50-foot slips, and six 60-foot slips. The new G-Dock will extend 170 feet westerly and 180 feet easterly of the central walkway, and will Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS -- ~/ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I accommodate 14 slips (eight 45-foot slips and six 60-foot slips). This will serve as a floating breakwater. . A-dock will be extended 270 feet waterward and will accommodate an additional thirty- two 45-foot slips. This will serve as a floating breakwater. . A new float will provide a connection between B-Dock and C-Dock, and the existing kayak float will be repositioned to the new extension on the A-Dock. Alternative 2 will result in an additional 37,865 sq.ft of overwater structure. All of the/ 37,865 sq.ft. of additional overwater coverage will be located at water depths of20 feet or greater. Approximately 100-130 new steel or concrete piles will be required. None of the piles will be located in water less than 20 feet in depth (MLLW=O Datum). Alternative 2 is shown in Figure 4. Alternative 3: 1993 Design Alternative 3 will include a 100 slip expansion and improvements with the configuration proposed in the 1993 "Port Ludlow Development Program Final Environmental Impact Statement." The proposed configuration of the new floats/slips is as follows: . C-Dock will be expanded 60-feet to the west to accommodate 120 feet of side ties. . D-Dock will be extended 240 feet to the west to accommodate an additional fourteen 40- foot slips and twelve 48- foot slips. . E-Dock will be extended 200 feet to the west to accommodate an additional ten 48-foot slips, and seven new 50-foot slips will be added to the east side ofE-Dock. . A new L-shaped dock will be constructed approximately 150 feet waterward ofE-Dock to provide additional side-ties. . A-Dock will be extended 150 feet waterward and will accommodate an additional thirty- four 40- foot slips. . A new dock will be constructed between the fuel float and Burner Point. This new dock will accommodate fourteen 40-foot slips and will be located in water less than 20 feet in depth. . Approximately 500 cubic yards of dredging will be required at slightly less than a I-acre area along Burner Point in order to increase water depths and improve access to this new inner dock. Alternative 3 will result in an additional 31,164 sq.ft of overwater structure. Of this total, X 23,208 sq. ft. of new overwater structure will be located in water depths ofless than 20 feet. The remairung 7,956 sq.ft. will be located in water depths of20 feet or greater. Approximately 100- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS ~ 2-4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 130 new steel piles will be required. Approximately two-third of these piles will be located in water greater than 20 feet in depth. Alternative 3 is shown in Figure 5. Alternative 4: No Action This alternative will result in maintenance of the existing marina facilities, but no expansion of docks or slips, and no upgrade of amenities such as the din float or kayak float, at this time.

With this perspective, environmental review is encouraged to consider whether approving/implementing a proposal at this time will preclude future options (WAC 197- 11-440(5)(c)(vii). The benefits of delaying expansion of the marina relate to delaying the associated impacts to the natural and built environments. No expansion of the marina at this time will result in no immediate construction or additional operational impacts to the marine environment or impacts to views from adjacent residential properties and the traveling public. The Port Ludlow Marina is now at full capacityl atd there is an increased demand for both more boating facilities and larger slips to accommodate larger boats. The Marina now turns away approximately 30 vessels each month between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is unknown whether delaying implementation will result in potential marina customers constructing their own docks in Port Ludlow Bay, additional boats anchoring in the Bay, and/or increased use of alternate marina locations. The disadvantage of delaying the expansion relates to delaying provision of planned facilities and services for local and traveling boaters. As stated above, if the expansion is not permitted at this time, the demand for boating facilities in and around Port Ludlow Bay will continue to increase. Also, merely delaying implementation to a later point in time will not minimize identified impacts.

The bay is a 2.2 square mile, J-shaped tidal basin, which extends from the mouth of Ludlow Creek 3.5 miles to Admiralty Inlet. The location of the project is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The eastern approach to the bay is characterized by a submerged sill which forms a submerged . basin open to the north. The average depth at the mouth of the bay is 78 feet (MLL W). From this point, the bottom of the basin slopes upward for a distance of 0.5 mile to a depth of 48 to 54 feet. From here, the depth of the bay remains fairly uniform throughout most of its length to within 0.5 mile of Ludlow Creek. The innermost 0.5 mile of the bay has a maximum depth of 40 to 42 feet. The Port Ludlow Marina was constructed in the late 1970s along the north shore of the inner portion of the bay. The upland topography in the vicinity of the marina consists of a quarry spall and small riprap sloped beach, and a generally level upland area at approximately + 15 to 17 ~ (MSL). Burner Point wraps around the east side of the marina. ~ (t'U>\ s.u. I.eu& ? West ofthe marina, the slope ofthe beach steepens and the 15 to 40 foot bank is covered with vegetation. During the Scoping process, property owners in this area stated they have experienced problems with sloughing and erosion. j Within the marina, subsurface elevations range from~et (MLLW) adjacent to the beach, to -38 feet under the outermost docks (i.e., E-Dock and the end of A-Dock). Existing slips are located at depths of -10 to -38 feet. Underwater slopes adjacent to the beach average 9 to 11 percent. Further waterward, in the vicinity ofE-Dock, the bottom flattens, with slopes ranging from 2 to 4 percent. Subsurface Conditions Explorations of the marina subsurface were conducted by Landau Associates from December 7- 10,2001. Seven borings were drilled to depths ranging from about 32 feet to 50 feet below the mudline. The location of these borings is shown in Figure 7. The laboratory soil testing was accomplished on representative soil samples obtained from the borings. Testing was done to classify the type of subsurface material.

Underlying the marine sediment is an upper unit of medium stiff glacial deposits and a lower unit of denselhard glacial deposits. The upper marine sediment is typically a very soft silt with clay and variable amounts of sand and shell fragments. The upper marine sediment extends to a depth of about 4 feet in the boring closest to shore (i.e., B-1) to about 25 feet in boring B-5. In general, the thickness of the soft sediment increases with distance from the shoreline. The upper marine sediment also contains a variable amount of soft, woody material and other organics as observed in borings B-2 and B-6. Below the very soft, upper marine deposit is a denser unit of older marine sediments ranging in composition from silty, fine to medium sand with gravel to fine sandy silts. The density of this lower marine sediment ranges from loose to dense and from stiff to very stiff. This unit also contains shell fragments and some woody debris. The lower marine unit was observed in borings, B-2, B-3, and B-4 and was encountered as shallow as 8.5 feet in boring B-2 and as deep as 29 feet below the mudline in boring B-4. Two different glacial deposits were encountered. The upper glacial unit was primarily soft to stiff, clayey silt with sand and fine gravel. The upper glacial unit was encountered in borings B-3, B-4, and B-5 and was encountered between depths of27 feet and 42 feet below the mudline. A denser, lower glacial unit was encountered underlying the softer upper glacial unit in borings B-3, B-4, and B-5, and directly below the marine sediments in borings B-1, B-2, B-6, and B-7. The lower glacial unit had a variable composition including silty gravelly sand, sand with silt and gravel, and clayey silt with sand and gravel. The lower unit includes soil consistent with consolidated glacial outwash, glaciomarine drift, and glacial till, and was medium dense to very denselhard. The top of the lower glacial unit generally increases in depth with distance from the shore ranging from about 7 feet below the mudline in boring B-1 to about 29 feet in boring B-4. Cross-sections of the subsurface profile are shown in Figure 8. The subsurface conditions ...ff present at this site preclude the shallow anchoring of new floats (i.e., with chains). Anchors with chains would drag in the soft sediment. Chains with stub piles are also not feasible due to the length of the finger docks and the need for structural support at the end of each finger.

A non-point monitoring program has been in place since 1989; the results ofthis monitoring have been documented in a series of reports. Sediment sampling was conducted in 1987, 1991, 1993, and 1995 (in conjunction with proposed dredging near the western end ofC- Dock), 1997 and 1999. The sampling program has been adjusted over time to reflect issues of ? concern. A full copy of the "Port Ludlow Non-Point Monitoring Program, 1999 Report" .___ w~ . prepared by Berryman & Henigar (the most recent report with sediment sampling) is on file with ~ the Jefferson County Department of Community Development and is summarized below. r Sediment samples were collected from five permanent monitoring stations in the bay and subsequently analyzed for meta10n order to evaluate metals accumulation. The primary source of metals is urban runoff within the watershed. Sediment samples were collected from the bay at locations where stormwater discharge is known to occur. Metals tested for include: arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. Samples in 1995 were also analyzed for the content of organic carbon, fats/oils/grease (FOG) and pH. Results of the sediment quality monitoring demonstrate that sediments in Port Ludlow Bay contain low concentrations of heavy metals. The 1999 Report concluded "...sediment quality is comparable to other non-urban Puget Sound bays, metal concentrations are generally much lower than in urban bays of Puget Sound, and sediment quality is not decliningj::,. / 3.1.2 Environmental Impacts Short-Term Impacts Temporary, short-term impacts will result from construction activities. For all expansion alternatives, construction work will occur in or over water. Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 reflect alternate dock configurations for the 100-slip expansion. The alternate dock configurations include different lengths of docks, located in different depths of water. The size and number of pilings required for each expansion alternative is determined by the depth from the new dock to bearing soil (i.e., the depth required to penetrate below the upper silt layer) and the depth of embedment required to support the lateral loads generated by the new docks. For structural reasons, typical marina construction occurs in -10 to -20 feet of water. At these depths, there is good structural capacity for the loads imposed by wind and waves. As the water ;4 depth increases, the greater distance from bearing soil to the point where the dock "loads" the piling (known as the "moment arm'~ecreases the capacities of the in?jvidual pilings. At Port Ludlow, installing a piling in -40 feet ofwat~~requires a minimum 7~-tfiO foot piling due to the presence of a 20 foot layer of soft sediment, and 10 feet oftidal change (i.e., to accommodate high tide). Pilings of this length must be larger in diameter and installed in a greater number to support the proposed docks. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Because of the quality of the existing sediments in Port Ludlow Bay, re-suspension and movement of contaminated sediments is not considered a significant impact. Upland earthwork will be associated with utility connections. Pipe will run from the docks to connect to landside utilities. Alternative 1: Proposed Project Construction of the proposed project will require installation of approximately 100-130 new 24- inch steel piles at bottom depths of approximately -18 feet to -40 feet. The depth from the bottom to bearing soils varies from 4 feet closest to shore, to approximately 16 feet along the western side ofthe new F-Dock, and to approximately 1812 feet along the eastern side ofF- Dock. Installation of the new piles will result in a temporary increase in localized turbidity. A more detailed discussion of turbidity is included in Section 3.2, Water. No dredging will be required to construct this alternative. Alternative 2: Deep Water Design Alternative 2 will require installation of approximately 100 to 130 new 24 to 30-inch steel piles at bottom depths ranging from approximately -36 feet and -40 to -42 feet for the new slips on E, F, and G-Docks, to -22 feet and -40 to -42 feet for the extension ()fA-Dock. The depth from the bottom to bearing soils varies from apprOXImately 812 feet along E-Dock to .2512 feet along the ~ new G-Dock and at the end of the expanded A-Dock. The greater number and/or size of pilings is due to the greater depth to bearing soils (i.e., on the outside of the new F-Dock, the new G- Dock, and at the end of the expanded A-Dock). Installation of the piles will result in a temporary increase in localized turbidity. A more detailed discussion of turbidity is included in Section 3.2, Water. No dredging will be required to construct this alternative. Alternative 3: 1993 Design Alternative 3 will require dredging approximately 500 C:!:: 100) cubic yards of material along the eastern shore of the marina (i.e., on the inside of Burner Point) in order to increase water depths and to increase access to the new inner dock. The silty nature of the marine sediments will result in a significant, but localized, temporary increase in turbidity. Dredging will also temporarily displace substrate for marine plants and animals. Dredged materials will be disposed at an approved in-water disposal site. A more detailed discussion of turbidity is included in Section 3.2, Water. Alternative 3 will also require installation of 100-130 new 24-inch steel piles at various bottom depths ranging from..lO feet on the inside of Burner Point, to -6 feet along the western end ofC- Dock, and -40 feet at the extensions ofE and A-Docks. Alternative 4: No Action ~~ No expansion of the marina will result in no earth-related impacts. 1 Long- Term Impacts Alternatives 1, 2, and 4 Alternatives 1, 2, and 4 will not affect geologic conditions at the marina. Minor ~ce dredging may be required at the northwest comer of the existing C-Dock at some point intl1'e- Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I future, but the timing is not known. This maintenance dredging will be required for all alternatives. -:;:::::::= Expansion of the marina to the west (Alternatives I and 3) will increase boat activity in the vicinity of properties that have experienced previous problems with bank erosion. Residents of these properties have expressed concern regarding the potential for further erosion from additional boat wakes. It is unclear whether past erosion problems were the result of boat wakes and/or storms and upland runoff. The docks will reduce wave impact on shoreline behind the ~ floats. Increased boat use ofthe fuel float as a result of the expansion could potentially increase scour within the areas adjacent to the fuel float. However, the water depth in this area is deep enough that further scour is unlikely. Erosion of the Burner Point shoreline is also unlikely due to the 40-120 foot distance between the fuel float and the shoreline. Alternative 3: 1993 Design Construction of Alternative 3 may result in the need for periodic maintenance dredging along the eastern edge of the marina, on the inside of Burner Point, in order to maintain water depths. Increased scour within the areas adjacent to the fuel float is unlikely. The dredging associated with Alternative 3 will increase water depths, and propeller wash is not likely to result in scouring. Erosion along the east shoreline is also unlikely because the new dock will be positioned between the maneuvering area and the shoreline. 3.1.3 Mitigating Measures Proposed: . Construction activities will be limited to the period between JulY-l6- and February 16, in order to minimize potential impacts to juvenile Puget Sound cfunook salmon, HOod Canal summer-run chum salmon, and bull trout. . Best Management Practices will be employed during construction including silt fences, spill control measures, floating booms, etc. 3.1.4 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No significant unavoidable adverse impacts to topography, soils, or subsurface conditions are anticipated.

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]\A designation (Jefferson County 1993). W/- +-~I- <:7/nGL 1Cf}?rV _~ Yt~ 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 in no longer required by the Department of Ecology and was discontinued in 1998 (Berryman & Henigar 1999). A program to monitor non-point sources of pollutants to Port Ludlow Bay was initiated by Pope Resources, developers of 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 non point source controls such as stromwater management systems, and (4) monitoring long-term trends of bay water quality. Pope Resources conducted 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 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.~feca( coliform) have been higher during storm events than during baseflows, which is consist&;n(with the findings of other watershed studies (Berryman & Henigar 1999). ~ ~AJ ~;. ~~ Stt. ~l7aa ~!-1 ~ '" Gray and Black Water Discharge I~ ~ The potential for the discharge of gray (galley, bath and shower water) and black water (sewage ~nl~ containing human body wastes and the waste from toilet and other receptacles intended to pe"4,,,_ receive or retain body waste) exists within all marinas. Discharge of black water is illegal and - 7 prohibited within the Port Ludlow Marina (please refer to Appendix C and Section 3.8.4 Sanitary Sewer Service for a more detailed discussion ofthe Marina's policies for controlling discharge of sewage and gray water within the marina).

At such time as DNR promulgates new rules for gray water discharge, the Port Ludlow Marina will address the rules, as will all other marinas. / -w"7 hc-/- 6e. rn' ~q,~(; ? Of particular concern is the discharge of sewage black water. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) has established water quality standards for fecal coliform bacteria (Chapter 173-201 WAC). For Class AA marine waters, including Port Ludlow Bay, the fecal coliform standard is a geometric mean of 14 organisms per 100 milliliters (mL) ofwatp.T This standard ___~ applies to waters where edible shellfish are present. The U.S. EP~ablished water qnality criteria for fecal coliform and enterococcus bacteria based on health risk to swimmers at both freshwater and saltwater beaches. These criteria are geometric means of 200 and 35 organismsll 00 mL, respectively. Bilge Water Another potential source of pollution in marinas comes from the discharge of bilge water, which may contain a variety of chemical constituents, but predominantly petroleum hydrocarbons. Port Ludlow Marina's BMPsi.Am'endix C) expressly forbids the discharge of bilge water within the marina. The BMPs state: t:;.~JJ ",,-t'7 p( -r--- . . The discharge of contaminated bilge water is illegal. Do not discharge bilge water that is contaminated with oil, detergents, or bilge cleaners. The fine for discharging oil from your bilge can be as high as $20,000 per day/per violation. Use oil absorbent bilge pads or pillows in your vessel's bilge to soak up oil and fuel. . Prevent oil contamination of bilge water. Do not drain oil into bilge. Fit a tray underneath the engine to collect drips. Put a couple of pads in the pan to make cleanup easier. Keep bilge area as dry as possible. Fix all fuel and oil leaks in a timely fashion. . Disposal of oil soaked adsorbents, as a household hazardous waste is possible. Otherwise, wrap in newspaper; place in a plastic bag, and place into the garbage. Water Quality - Shellfish Harvesting In areas with recreational and commercial shellfish harvesting, water quality issues are extremely important. Sewage and chemical discharges to shellfish-bearing waters can act as sources of contamination for shellfish, creating health risks to human and animal consumers alike. The nearest recorded shellfish beds to the Port Ludlow project area are geoduck beds located along the beach between Mats Mats Bay and Port Ludlow (PSWQA and DNR 1992). Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ QDI I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I Recreational shellfish beds are located in the North Hood Canal area south of Port Ludlow with recorded populations of native littlenecks, manila littlenecks, butter clams, eastern softshell clams, Macoma clams, geoducks, horse clams, and oysters (WDFW 2002). There are no recorded shellfish beds (i.e., softshell clams, geoducks, and other bivalve mollusks)2"'f~e project area or within the inner bay of Port Ludlow Bay (PSWQA and DNR 1992)V~ are there any records of recreational shellfish harvesting within Port Ludlow Bay in the past decade (WDFW 2002; Strom, A. WDFW shellfish biologist, personal communication, February 28, 2002). The Washington State Department of Health has closed the inner bay of Port Ludlow Bay to shellfish harvesting due to the presence of a municipal sewage outfall (D. Christensen, Jefferson County Department of Natural Resources, personal communication, March 1,2002). Port Ludlow Bay Flushing Characteristics 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 ofthe 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 verticalllITents and upwelling at the entrance and head of Port Ludlow Bay (Jefferson County~ 106k.- f/.1is. VjP 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 indicat~ / that the volume of water exchanged daily between Port Ludlow and Admiralty Inlet average~ 39 percent per day and ~~e..from 20 to 50 percent of the total volume of the bay, dependent upon 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). 3.2.2 Environmental Impacts Construction Impacts During construction, potential discharges to surface water include leakage of petroleum products from construction equipment. These substances can enter marine water directly or in stormwater runoff. 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 avoid ., reas. Should this avoidance occur, it would have only insignificany'and u easurable effects on salmonids. VV\LM (? ~-n~'.~ e Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ Porlludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ I I I I I II I I I I I I I I I I I I I Alternatives 1 and 2: Expansion Alternatives Alternatives 1 and 2 may result in temporary and localized impacts to water quality due to pile driving. 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 of35 to 40 feet, 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. ~ CMf- Juvenile salmon have been shown to avoid areas of unacceptably high turbid~"'~e.g., Servizi 1988), although they may seek out areas of moderate turbidity (10 to 80 NTD),t;;r~sumably as cover against predation (Cyrus and Blaber 1987a,b). Feeding efficiency of juveniles is also impaired by turbidities in excess of70 NTU, well below sublethal stress levels (Bisson and Bilby 1982). Reduced preference by adult salm~n homing to spawning areas has been demonstrated where turbidities exceed 30 NTU (20 m~spended 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. The installation of 100-130 steel pilings in the project area at water depths of 18 to 40 feet will result in the destruction of benthic habitat within the footprint of each piling. Assuming that each pilin~l~approximately 2 feet in diameter, the area covered by the foot of each piling is about 3 .14@~r 314 ft2 for 100 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. Furthermore, adjacent benthic habitat will continue to provide ample foraging habitat for jUVeji salmonids that may occur in the project area. w~ f-+~ k dJ s~.f-t.. ~ ? 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. Alternative 3: 1993 Design In addition to impacts from pile driving, the required dredging and dewatering associated with Alternative 3 may cause additional temporary and localized impacts to water C\llality in the vicinity of active equipment. Elevated turbidity plumes and reductions in dissolved oxygen could occur in localized areas near active dredging. Juvenile salmon are not expected to be present at the time when dredging will occur, however. It is anticipated that any dredging associated with Alternative 3 would be accomplished with a barge-mounted clamshell dredge. Due to the characteristics of clamshell buckets, it is generally accepted that they do not have the potential to entrain pelagic fish such as salmonids. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Specifically, the clamshell bucket descends to the substrate in an open position. The force generated by the descent drives the jaws of the bucket into the substrate, which "bite" the sediment upon retrieval. During the descent, the bucket cannot trap or contain a mobile organism because it is totally open. Based on the operation of the clamshell dredge bucket, it is concluded that the proposed project would not entrain juvenile, subadult, or adult salmonids, although some entrainment of demersal fish and epibenthic invertebrates (e.g., crab) may occur. Dredging will produce long-term changes in the depth and slope in the area to be dredged. It will also sequentially eliminate nonmobile benthos over approximately one acre of bottom area, resulting in a temporary reduction in abundance and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates However, the benthic habitat disturbed during dredging is expected to be quickly recolonized by infauna and epifauna (McCauley et al. 1977, Richardson et al. 1977, Romberg et al. 1995, Wilson and Romberg 1995). Diversity and health of the benthic assemblage recolonizing the areas to be dredged are expected to quickly equal those of the benthic community now present. Alternative 4: No Action No impacts to water quality from construction activities would occur. Long-Term Effects Alternatives 1, 2, and 3: Expansion Alternatives No long-term direct or indirect effects to water quality are anticipated for any of the construction activities proposed in the project area. Further, although expansion of the Marina will result in increased boat activity, the proposed alternatives are not expected to significantly degrade water quality or impact any populations of shellfish that may be present in the vicinity of the project area. fi iA-Vl ~ ffT.r;.

A full copy of the Biological Evaluation is contained in Appendix C of this DSEIS. '9<>"" H-+ ~~ kl'! ~i,.J~ i Project Area The Port Ludlow ay, located at the mouth of Hood Canal, provides a variety of habitats for marine fauna an flora. The shoreline in the bay is classified as a marine intertidal, rocky shoreline. Roc riprap occurs on the shorelines within the marina. Numerous species of marine invertebrates ~y occur in the bay ~djng crustaceans such as Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) and bivalve mollusks suc~d6duck (Panope generosa). Both resident and migratory fish use the bay for a portion or all of their life histories. Chinooksalmon, 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 Bay. Marine fish species expected within the bay include, but are not limited to, flounders (Pleuronectidae), shiner and pile perch (Embiotocidae), sculpins (Cottidae), rockfish (Scorpanidae), and pipe-fish (Syngnathus griseolineatus ). Marine vegetation that may occur in the bay includes, but is not limited to, Laminaria saccharina, Viva spp., Enteromorpha linza, and Nereocystis luetkeana. Eelgrass (Zostera spp.) may also occur within the bay, although an eelgrass survey within the project area did not detect eelgrass within the project area. 3.3.1 Marine Vegetation 3.3.1.1 Affected Environment Marine vegetation provides both food and cover for fish. Within Puget Sound, the primary focus is eelgrass and macroalgae. Eelgrass beds are recognized as habitats of statewide significance due to their high production rates of prey for sahnonids and other fishes, for the structural diversity they provide, and as a site for herring spawning (e.g., Simenstad et al. 1988). Macroalgae (i.e., green algae, brown algae, kelp, etc.) are also recognized as a contributor to Pori Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS d)/ April 2002 ---- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 in Port Ludlow Bay is primarily attached to intertidal cobbles, docks, and pilings. No benthic eelgrass or kelp beds have been found within the project area (Echelon Engineering 2000, Pentec 2001), but macro algae and eelgrass are both found on existing floats within the marina. Ulva spp, (sea lettuce) and Mastocarpus sp. (red algae) 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/'au ea (Jaumea carnosa), and saltweed (Atriplex patula). ~.I I..." ~ p-rvv ~I""" Pentec conducte~elgraSS survey for the proposed marina expansion on September 12,2001 (Appendix C). 7fh;~~ey conformed to the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife's (WDFW) preliminary protocols for conducting such surveys. The survey was confined to the fuel-dock and D-dock areas. Areas under the proposed offshore docks were not surveyed, because the depth of the water at which these proposed docks will be was not expected to support eelgrass. No eelgrass was found in the project area during the September 2001 survey. Laminaria saccharina (kelp) and Ulva lactuca ( sea lettuce) were the only macrophytes reported during the survey; however, the abundance ofthese species was low. 3.3.1.2 Environmental Impacts Alternatives 1, 2 and 3 - Expansion AlWnatives None ofthe proposed alternative~ anticipated to adversely impact eelgrass, as no eelgrass is present within the project area. Furthermore, no adverse impacts to other marine macrophytes are expected from any of the proposed alternatives. Of the three alternatives, Alternatives 1 and 2 would be the least likely to impact marine vegetation as in each of these alternatives the __ majority of new overwater structure would be placed in water greater than -20 ft MLL W, where eelgrass and other macrophytes would most likely occur. Under Alternative 3, all new overwater structure would be placed in water less than -20 ft MLL W, reducing light transmission to the substrate in the shallow nearshore environment that would provide the best habitat for marine macrophytes. The new (additional) pilings will displace benthic habitat at the location ofthe pilings. The installation of 100-130 steel pilings in the project area at water depths of 18 to 40 feet will result in the destruction of benthic habitat within the footprint of each piling. Assuming that each piling is approximately 2 feet in diameter, the area covered by the foot of each piling is about 3.14 ft2, or 314 to 408.2 square feet for 100 to 130 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.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 3.3.2.1 Affected Environment A number of salmonid species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) may use Port Ludlow Bay. These species include the Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon (threatened), the Puget Sound chinook salmon (threatened), and bull trout (threatened). Coho salmon, a candidate species under the ESA, may also occur in Port Ludlow Bay. It is assumed that these salmonids originate from one or more ofthe river systems in the northern part of Hood Canal. The river basin closest to Port Ludlow that contains both Puget Sound chinook salmon and Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon is the Quilcene River system, located roughly 38 miles south of Port Ludlow, draining to Quilcene Bay on Hood Canal. The Quilcene River contains runs of fall chinook, coho, and summer-run chum salmon. For purposes of this assessment, the Quilcene '\ \~ver system is considered to be a representative source of shinookl~~on, summer-run chum ) 'salmon, and coho salmon that occur in the action ar~iAI0 r try {\J ~ r< coJ- t>f dh fh~ , ~ * V' . r 0 t)~il _ ~ The lower section of Ludlow Creek was used historically by coho and chum salmon as J') _-'J.. ~+ spawning and rearing habitat, but is no longer believed to support native salmon runs. j ~ c)l{Yl~c-~ Hood Canal also supports populations of Bull trout/Dolly Varden, which are listed as tf-L reJIf17YJ J "Threatened" under the ESA. Surveys conducted in the Big Quilcene River indicate that there is 1E:^ not a distinct bull trout/Dolly Varden stock in the river (WDFW 1998a). Thus, any bull trout 1IJtft1 O'J that may occur in Port Ludlow Bay originate in rivers other than the Quilcene River system. tt.duM. r_ {LvUA-1M In addition to the salmonids species discussed above, other ESA-listed species that may use Port ~r Ludlow Bay include the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), marbled murrelet JudIhP (Brachyramphus marmoratus), and Steller sea lion (Eumetopiasjubatus). Steller sea lions have .0 not been recorded in Port Ludlow, but could potentially occur. habitat will continue to provide ample foraging habitat for juvenile salmonids that may occur in the project area. Alternative 4 - No Action There are no anticipated environmental impacts to marine vegetation from this alternative. 3.3.1.3 Mitigating Measures No mitigation is required. 3.3.1.4 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No significant unavoidable adverse impacts to marine vegetation are anticipated. 3.3.2 Threatened and Endangered and Priority Species Chinook Salmon. Chinook salmon prefer to spawn and rear in the mainstem of rivers and larger streams (Williams et al. 1975, Healey 1991). In the Quilcene River system, the Big Quilcene 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. In general, juvenile chinook salmon would be expec~ed to be in and around the Port Ludlow Marina along the shoreline Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS Aprn 2002 ~ if\J;b por' ~ ~ rL'1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I between February and July of each year and adult salmon can be found further offshore from Spring through Fall (Williams et al. 1975). As of 1992, the stock status ofthe Hood Canal chinook salmon stock was rated as healthy (WDFW and WWTIT 1994). Critical Habitat. In Puget Sound, designated critical habitat for chinook salmon includes all marine, estuarine, and river reaches accessible to the listed species. Thus, all of the waters within the project area are designated as critical habitat for chinook salmon. Coho Salmon. 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. Juvenile coho would be expected to occur in the project area from approximately March through July, and mature coho from August through the end of December (Williams et al. 1975). 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 feet 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 churn 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 mile of Ludlow Creek during 1974, 1975, and 1984. Surveys indicated that both coho and churn 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 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). The status of the Hood Canal-Quilcene/Dabob bays coho stock was considered depressed as of 1992 (WDFW and WWTIT 1994). Critical Habitat. No critical habitat has been proposed for Puget Sound/Strait of Georgia coho salmon. Chum Salmon. Churn salmon usually spawn in coastal areas, and juveniles outmigrate to salt water almost immediately after emerging from the gravel (Johnson et al. 1997). It is believed that survival and growth in juvenile churn salmon depend less on freshwater conditions than on favorable estuarine conditions (Johnsonet al. 1997). Juvenile summer-run churn salmon could occur in and around the Port Ludlow marina between the middle of January through the middle of June, and mature churn from September through December (Williams et al. 1975). Churn 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 Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS 3-17 April 2002 ~ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS ~ April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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). 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 byWDF 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 chum salmon runs (Egan, R., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). Stock status for the entire Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon stock was assessed. As of 1992, this stock was classified as critical (WDFW and WWTIT 1994). 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 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 (50 CFR Part 226). This designation includes the project area. Bull Trout (Native Char). Bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) exhibit four life history patterns: resident, fluvial, adfluvial, and anadromous (Brown 1994). Anadromous bull trout in Puget Sound typically spend the first two years rearing in freshwater before migrating to marine waters (WDFW 1998b){) It is highly unlikely that bull trout occur in Port Ludlow, as Ludlow Creek likely does not provide suitable spawning habitat for this species, nor are there any river basins in close proximity to Port Ludlow that are known to support bull trout. 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 (8. malma) is very difficult. Until further resolution is possible, WDFW has made a decision to manage all Puget Sound stocks as ifthey were a single bull trout/Dolly Varden (native char) complex (Washington Department ofWild}ife [WDW; now WDFW] 1993). ls ~I~ ~ tt.,( ~ "?J /' 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 1999b). Bald Eagles. The bald eagle's habitat includes estuaries, large lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. In Washington, resident bald eagle populations occ~ pyimarily near large bodies of water west of the Cascade Mountains (Rodrick and Milner 199~ VThe nearest recorded bald eagle nesting area to the Port Ludlow Marina is located approxi tely 4,900 feet west ofthe marina (Guggenmos, L., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 was expected in July 2000; however, that decision is still pending. Critical Habitat. No critical habitat has been designated for bald eagles in Puget Sound. Marbled Murrelet. The marbled murre let, a small seabird that nests in the coastal, old-growth forests inhabits the Pacific coast of North America. Murrelets do not form dense colonies, and may fly 70 kIn or more inland to nest. They are more commonly found inland during the summer breeding season, but make daily trips to the ocean to gather food, 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). In recent decades the murrelet population in Alaska and British Columbia has suffered a marked decline. Trends in Washington, Oregon, and California are also down, but the extent of the decrease in unknown. The most serious limiting factor for marbled murrelets is the loss of habitat through the removal of old-growth forests and fragmentation of forests. 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). Winter and summer aerial surveys were conducted by WDFW throughout Puget Sound to assess marbled murrelet densities. Summer surveys, conducted from 1992 through 1999, and winter surveys, conducted from 1993 through 2000, indicated marbled murrelet densities in the outer bay of Port Ludlow Bay to be 0.5 to 1 animal per square kilometer, with no animals reported in the inner bay in the vicinity ofthe proposed action (Nysewander, D., WDFW wildlife biologist, personal communication March 21, 2002). Critical Habitat. No critical habitat has been designated for the marbled murrelet in Puget Sound. Steller Sea Lion. Steller sea lions are rare in the project area. There are currently no breeding ~nies in Washington State (NMFS 1992), although four major haul-out areas (none of which \ e located in Puget Sound) do exist. (NMFS 1992). The majority of Steller Sea Lions are found 1 aska. Critical Habitat. No critical habitat for Steller sea lions has been designated in Puget Sound. 3.3.2.2 Environmental Impacts Threatened and Endangered and Priority Species Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 - Expansion Alternatives Salm on ids. Listed salmonids that may occur within the project area may potentially be impacted by construction and operation of the expanded marina. These include the Hood Canal summer- run chum salmon, Puget Sound chinook salmon, and bull trout. Port Ludlow Morino Expansion Pre-Droft SEIS April 2002 --- I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Short term Construction Impacts Approximately 100-130 steel pilings will be installed as part ofthe marina expansion. 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 time periods when significant numbers of juvenile salmonids are expected to be present, no significant effect or take is expected from project construction activities. Juvenile salmon have been shown to avoid areas of unacceptably high turbidities (e.g., Servizi 1988). Feeding efficiency of juveniles is impaired by turbidities in excess of70 NTU, well below sublethal stress levels (Bisson and Bilby 1982) and reduced preference by adult salmo!1 homing to spawning areas has been demonstrated where turbidities exceed 30 NTU (20 mg([) 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) and juvenile salmon may seek out areas of moderate turbidity (10 to 80 NTU), presumably as cover against predation (Cyrus and Blaber 1987 a,b). 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 l (". ma)Ybe present. f t.tVII?/ 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 immeasurable effects on salmonids. 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. The margins of new floating structures will support growth of a productive epibiota that will add to the overall biological production ofthe project area. Long Term Impacts Increase in overwater cover~e may and potentially will impact marine habit~t. Table 1 below illustrates the overwater coverage for each alternative: Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ <!lVJ Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 Alternative 4 Proposed Deep Water 1993 Design No Action Pro.ieet Total increase from existing, 966 -0- 23,208 N/A <-20 ft.

(1999) examined three issues regarding the impacts of overwater structures on juvenile salmon. These include alteration in migratory behavior, reduction in prey production and availability, and 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. 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 orientation ofthe 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 1 0-4 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, 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. Expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina will not impact fish access, fish refugia, Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ b I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I substrate, shoreline, riparian conditions, flow and hydrology, current patterns, or saltwater- freshwater mixing patterns, nor will it result in other habitat disturbances. The Port Ludlow Marina expansion project may affect, Qut is not likely to adversely affect, juvenile chinook salmon, Hood Canal suII1IIier-run chum salmon, coho salmon, or bull trout (native char). While the conclusion is 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. 'y~ in ~ of I3>It - I Bald Eagles. vV' I ~ nul-- bt~l-an Short Term Construction Impacts P-tf ~ Ambient noise levels will increase during pile-driving activities and may temporarily disrupt foraging behavior of bald eagles in the vicinity ofthe project area. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has conducted two monitoring studies to determine the potential impacts on wintering eagles associated with wood and steel pile-driving activities. According to the authors, between 0.25 and 0.5 mile from the construction site and beyond, construction noises were similar in level to background noise. The nearest recorded bald eagle nesting area to the Port Ludlow Marina is located approximately 4,900 feetwest ofthe 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. The proposed construction noise thus may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, bald eagles or their critical habitat. Marbled Murrelets. Short Term Construction Impacts Proposed project activities will be confined to limited intertidal and subtidal areas and will not significantly affect murrelet foraging areas or prey. Any marbled murrelets that may forage in the bay during times of active construction may be disturbed by construction-related noise, thus avoiding the area during these times. However, any such disturbances to foraging behavior of marbled murrelets is expected to be localized and of short-term duration. 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. Stellar Sea Lions Steller sea lions are rare in the action 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).

Among the fish species that may occur in Port Ludlow Bay are groundfish, coastal pelagic, and salmonid fish species that have designated Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-267). These species are listed in Table 2.

Larval, juvenile, and adult Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi), surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus), and Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus) are important forage fish for juvenile, sub adult, and adult salmonids (Healey 1991).

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. Epibenthic Zooplankton. Epibenthic zooplankton, primarily crustaceans, and terrestrial insects occur in Port Ludlow Bay and are important prey for juvenile chinook salmon in estuaries (Simenstad et al. 1988, Healey 1991). 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. Bivalve Mollusks. Mussels and barnacles were observed within Port Ludlow Marina during a site visit on December 10, 1999. The nearest recorded shellfish beds to the project area are geoduck beds located along the beach between Mats Mats Bay and Port Ludlow (PSWQA and DNR 1992, Sizemore and Ulrich 2001). Recreational shellfish beds are located in the North Hood Canal area south of Port Ludlow with recorded populations of native littlenecks, manila littlenecks, butter clams, eastern softshell clams, Macoma clams, geoducks, horse clams, and oysters (WDFW 2002). There are no recorded shellfish beds (i.e., softshell clams, geoducks, and other bivalve mollusks) within the project area or within the inner bay of Port Ludlow Bay (PSWQA and DNR 1992), nor are there any records of recreational shellfish harvesting within Port Ludlow Bay in the past decade (WDFW 2002; Strom, A. WDFW shellfish biologist, personal communication, February 28, 2002). However, it is likely that at least some ofthese species occur within Port Ludlow Bay. 3.3.3.2 Environmental Impacts Alternatives 1, 2 and 3 - Expansion Alternatives Construction Impacts/Short-Term Effects Short-term effects to fish from construction associated with the Port Ludlow Marina expansion may include disruption of foraging behavior or avoidance ofthe project area during active construction. Pile driving may produce temporary and localized impacts to water quality, causing elevated turbidity plumes in the immediate vicinity of the pile driving. However, such impacts will be temporary and localized and will not persist beyond the active construction phase. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Long-Term Effects 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 deep (>35 feet) 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 micro algae 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. 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, brachyuran and teleost arv. e, were most abundant in the marina (Cardwell et al. 1980). Illumination of the Port Ludlow M 'na at night with artificial lighting is not expected to adversely impact salmonids that m y use the marina area. Salo et al. (1977, as cited in Parametrix 1993b) and Prinslow e al. (1979, as cited in Parametrix 1993b) studied the effects of artificial lighting along the edges f 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 0 s. These light levels also attracted young herring and sand lance. Light levels of 19 to 3 ft-c ttracted substantial numbers of chum salmon and other fish. These attractions of young fish e 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. The Washington State Department of Health has closed the inner bay of Port Ludlow Bay to shellfish harvesting due to the presence of a municipal sewage outfall (D. Christensen, Jefferson County Department of Natural Resources, personal communication, March 1, 2002). The proposed alternatives are not expected to degrade water quality or impact any populations of shellfish that may be present in the vicinity of the project area.

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.

Seventy-six bird species are expected to use the open-water and shoreline areas of the marina and Port Ludlow Bay (Raedeke Associates 1992). Of these, 18 species were reported during the inventory. Nine species of waterfowl were observed near the marina and within Port Ludlow Bay. Nineteen species were reported or expected to use the area. American wigeon (Anas Americana) and scoter (Oidema nigra, Malanina deglandi, M. perspicillara) were the most abundant ducks observed during the inventory (Raedeke Associates 1992). Common loon (Gavia immer), a state sensitive species, were observed feeding near the marina. Arctic (G. arctica) and red-throated (G. stellata) loon are expected to use the area during the winter (Raedeke Associates 1992). Homed grebe (Podiceps aurius) were observed within 20 feet of the marina docks. Red-necked (P. grisegena), eared (P. caspicus), and western (Aechmophorus occidentalis) have also been reported or are expected to use Port Ludlow Bay (Raedeke Associates 1992). Other common birds observed in Port Ludlow Bay include double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) and pigeon guillemot (Cepphus columba). Brandt's (P. penicillatus) and pelagic (P. pelagicus) cormorant are also expected to use the bay.

Residents of Port Ludlow have reported osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nyticorax) and merlin (Falco columbian us) are expected to use the bay during certain times of the year (Raedeke Associates 1992). Passerine and upland birds observed near the marina include the song sparrow (Melospiza melodia), violet-green swallow (Tachycineta thalassina), American robin (Turdus migratorius), rufous-sided towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus), violet-green swallow (Tachycineta thalassina), European starling (Sturn us vulgaris), purple finch (Carpodacus purpureus), and American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) (Raedeke Associates 1992). 3.3.4.2 Environmental Impacts Alternatives 1, 2 and 3 - Expansion Alternatives Construction Impacts/Short- Term Effects Short-term effects to avian species resulting from construction associated with the Port Ludlow Marina expansion may include disruption of foraging behavior or avoidance ofthe project area during active construction.

Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ... 3-28 ~ 3.4 Land Use and Land Use Designations 3.4.1 Affeded Environment Project History Port Ludlow, located in eastern Jefferson County on the western shoreline ofPuget Sound, was originally settled in the mid-1800s as a shipbuilding, logging, and sawmill community. By the 1880s, Port Ludlow encompassed a sawmill, log dump, numerous homes, a hotel, and other facilities. The sawmill was permanently closed in 1935 and subsequently dismantled. The existing homes were moved to Port Gamble. Development of the current Port Ludlow Resort and residential community was initiated in the late 1960s. As approved by Jefferson County, the original Port Ludlow development includes approximately 2,250 dwelling units (1,800 of which have been developed to date), a 21 acre Resort complex, a 27-hole golf course, a small retail center, parks, and open space. The 280-slip marina was constructed in the 1970s as part of the Port Ludlow Resort. Property below Ordinary High Water (OHW) is leased from the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources. The marina serves guests, boating groups, and Port Ludlow area residents. Other central Puget Sound yacht clubs have requested to use slips at Port Ludlow as a "satellite facility," but the number of available slips has limited this function. The Marina is now full. In 1993, the Resort area and residential development underwent a permitting process for redevelopment for the following 10 year period. The proposed redevelopment program included 700 additional residential units, 47,500 square feet of additional commercial space, a 36-room inn, a 100-slip expansion of the marina, construction of a new club house at the golf course, approximately 815 acres of open space and recreation areas, and supporting infrastructure including roads and utilities. The EISfor the Port Ludlow Development Program (April, 1993) was issued to address the impacts of the redevelopment at a programmatic level. A second, project-level EIS (EIS for the Inn at Port Ludlow, 1993) was also prepared at that time. The second EIS was a project-specific EIS which analyzed the site-specific impacts of a 36-room Inn, 72 residential units, 2,500 sq. ft. of commercial space, renovation of upland marina support facilities, expansion of the "Mill Pond" (a man-made pond), additional parking, landscaping with sand dunes, shoreline public access provisions, riprap rock installation, and replacement of underground fuel tanks with above-ground tanks. / In August of 1998, Jefferson County adopted a new Comprehensive~Plan which designated the Port Ludlow community as a Master Planned Resort (MPR). Jefferson County Ordinance Number 08-1004-99 was subsequently adopted in October 1999. This ordinance a~d new development regulations consistent with the new Comprehensive Plan designation. c,'Tto1? l~ f,~!"f Ludlow Mariact Expansion Draft SEIS & Reid iddleton . /April2002 - I I I I I I I r Project Area Port Ludlow is located in a generally rural portion of Jefferson County, approximately six miles north of SR -104. The 1800 i: acre MPR is centered on the inner portion of Port Ludlow Bay and extends both north and south ofthis inner portion ofthe Bay. Within the MPR, the Resort area is located on the northern shore of the bay, in the area of Burner Point. The marina is located on the inside of Burner Point, and is bounded by Resort uses on the north and east. The upland resort uses include the Harbonnaster Restaurant, parking areas, marina support facilities, four undeveloped single-family lots, "Mill Pond" (a man-made pond), the Heron Beach Inn, town homes, and open space, including a viewing area at Burner Point. West of the resort area, MPR properties around the inner portion of the bay are occupied by single-family homes and condominiums. The majority of the Resort area is separated from surrounding single-family development by Oak Bay Road. Properties immediately west ofthe marina lie within a designated "Single-Family" area and are occupied by one undeveloped single-family lot and three single-family dwellings. These properties access Oak Bay Road via Scott Coull, and for purposes of this discussion are referred to as the "Scott Court Properties." A four-slip dock serving these residential lots was constructed in the mid to late 1990s. This dock, known as the "Scott Dock," is located approximately 150 feet from shore, approximately 300 feet west ofthe Port Ludlow Marina C- and D-Docks. Within the inner portion of the bay, the number of existing private docks is small; these docks are generally located on the southwestern shore of the bay. The Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club uses four dock slips at the west end of Port Ludlow Bay, as well as rafting and anchoring, as a satellite facility.--- \. . /wtNJ- is ~ls M-Odl~?

Section 3.901 includes a 100-slip expansion of the Marina. The Scott Court single-family development immediately west of the marina is zoned Single Family (MPR - Single Family). The purpose ofthis zone is to recognize, maintain, and promote single family residential areas within the MPR, and provide opportunities for reasonably priced housing. MPR land use designations are sho\\'TI in Figure 9. 3.4.2 Environmental Impacts Short-term (Construction) Impacts Alternatives 1, 2, and 3: Expansion Alternatives For all expansion alternatives, construction activities will result in short-term impacts to the adjacent resort and single-family residential development. Construction activities will temporarily increase noise levels, and barge and vehicular traffic; fumes from construction equipment may also be noticeable. Construction noise will be generated primarily by pile driving, but will also come from the use of generators, other small engines, and hand tools. Data from the Shilshole Bay Marina Dock Replacement/Moorage Expansion Project Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Port of Seattl<&2000) indicates that, from a noise standpoint, the "worst case" pile driving scenario is a diesel-powered hammer driving steel piles into a very hard subsurface soil layer, with no noise abatement shrouding. In this scenario, th~~d)myasured 100 feet from the diesel hammer was 95.9 dBA. At 180 feet, the Leq will be 90.8<n3X, and at 300 feet, 86.4 dBA. For the Port Ludlow marina expansion, noise from pile driving will be heard from the Resort area and the Scott Court properties to the west. The noise level will be determined largely by the number of piles to be driv~9 the depth to which they are driven. Given the subsurface conditions at the Marina, i~hcipated that both a vibratory hammer and a drop hammer and/or diesel hammer will be used. The pile driving will occur over an approximate 45-day period. Because sound travels well over water, construction noise will likely be heard around the entire bay, but will not be as significant. Jefferson County regulates noise impacts per Section 6.19 ("Noise") of the Unified Development Code. Resolution Number 67-85, Establishment of Environmental Designation (EDNA) for Noise Abatement Areas for Jefferson County, adopted WAC 173-60 in its entirety to establish maximum permissible noise levels for various environments or classes of use.

WAC 173-6Qj)30 classifies residential sites and parks and recreational sites as Class A EDNA. The maximum noise exposure levels for noise emitted in Class A EDNA which is received by Class A EDNA is 55 dBA (WAC 173-60-040). WAC 173-60-050 lists activities that are exempt from the maximum noise level requirements of WAC 173-60-040. Section 3-a exempts sounds originating from temporary construction sites as a result o. f construction activity with the exception that these sounds ar~t aUowed between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in_Class A EDNA receptors. C.J OLv-: Construction noise associated with the marina expansion is a temporary impact. Construction hours will be limited to non-holiday weekdays and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Impacts from increased construction vehicle and barge traffic will be concentrated within the marina area, although the pile-driving barge will also be located in the vicinity of the Scott Dock. The barge will not block access to that dock. Fumes from the construction activities are not anticipated to be significant. Alternative 4: No Action Alternative 4 would result in no short-term construction impacts to adjacent properties. Long Term Impacts Alternative 1: Proposed Proiect Alternative 1 will add a maximum of 100 additional slips to the existing 280-slip marina. The expansion will occur both westward and waterward. The number of new slips accommodated by Alternative 1 is consistent with the approved Resort Plan and existing MPR regulations. The proposed project is within the designated MPR boundary and it will aid in maintaining Port Ludlow as Jefferson County's only Master Planned Resort. The expansion will provide additional slips for area residents and may also allow use of slips as satellite facilities for other yachts clubs. This may in turn, reduce the number of boats anchored-out in the bay during summer months. Impacts to the adjacent resort and residential properties will include an incremental increase in noise (from boat engines and human voices), boat traffic, and vehicular traffic. Odors associated with a marina, such as exhaust from boats, will also likely increase incrementally. Extensive boat repairs are not allowed within the marina, so odors from repair activities will not be significant. Impacts of Alternative 1 on adjacent land use relate primarily to potential impacts to the Scott Court residential properties. Alternative 1 will result in Port Ludlow docks lying within approximately 150 to 200 feet of the Scott Dock, and within 250 to 350 feet ofthe closest residential lot (currently undeveloped). Residents of Scott Court have expressed concerns Port Ludlow Morina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS c00 April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I regarding the increased boat activity adjacent to their homes, the ability of boats and seaplanes to access their dock, and the ability to expand their dock if Alternative 1 were to be approved. The industry standard for "fairway width" (distance between individual docks) within a marina is 1.5 times the length ofthe boat, or 1.75 times boat length if maneuvering conditions warrant (Marinas and Small Craft Harbors, Tobiasson 2000). The 1.5 times standard is considered appropriate for Port Ludlow Bay due to the absence of strong currents. Thus, a 40 -foot boat would require a 60 -70 foot fairway, and a 60-foot boat would require a 90-105 foot fairway. With Alternative 1, the closest portion ofthe expanded Port Ludlow C-Dock would provide an approximate 180- foot fairway for the Scott dock, and the D- Dock extension would provide an approximate 120-foot fairway for Scott Dock (assumes side-ties at both the Port Ludlow and Scott Docks). Impacts to views are addressed in Section 3.6 Aesthetics. Impacts of Alternative 1 on marine resources are discussed in Section 3.3. Alternative 2: Deep Water Alternative Alternative 2 will also add 100 slips to the marina, but all new docks and slips will be placed waterward of the existing docks. The number of new slips will be consistent with the adopted Resort Plan and MPR regulations. As with Alternative 1, the expansion will provide additional slips for area residents and boating groups, and may reduce the number of boats anchored in the bay during summer months. Impacts to adjacent residential properties will be minimized, as no new slips will be located closer than the existing 300 feet to the Scott Dock, or 300 to 400 feet to residential property. Impacts to views are addressed in Section 3.6 Aesthetics. Impacts of Alternative 2 on marine resources are discussed in Section 3.3. Alternative 3: 1993 Design Alternative 3 will result in a 100-slip expansion westward and eastward. As with Alternatives 1 and 2, the expansion will provide slips for area residents and boating groups, and may reduce the number of boats anchored in the bay during summer months. Alternative 3 will have the greatest impact on adjacent residential properties. The 1993 configuration was developed prior to the construction of any other dock in the immediate vicinity and is now partially infeasible. As drawn, the expanded D-Dock will extend westward to the Scott Dock, providing no space to navigate between the two uses. The expanded D- Dock will block access to both the inside ofthe Scott Dock and to C-Dock. If this alternative were to be selected, several slips on D-Dock will have to be relocated, probably to the outside ofE-Dock. Impacts to views are addressed in Section 3.6 Aesthetics. Impacts of Alternative 3 to marine resources are discussed in Section 3.3.

Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS 3-35 ~ April 2002 ~ Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan includes specific goals and policies related to the Port Ludlow Master Planned Resort (MPR). The Goals and Policies related to the MPR and the Resort area are as follow: / ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 3.5 Land and Shoreline Use - Relationship to Plans and Policies 3.5.1 Affected Environment Goals: LNG 25.0 Maintain the viability of Port Ludlow as Jefferson County's only Master Planned Resort (MPR). Policies: LNP 25.1 Ensure that development in Port Ludlow complies with County development regulations established for critical areas and that on-site and off-site infrastructure impacts are fully considered and mitigated. LNP 25.2 The provision of urban-style services to support the anticipated growth and development at Port Ludlow shall occur only within the designated MPR boundary. LNP 25.6 Support efforts to preserve and protect Port Ludlow's greenbelts, open spaces, and wildlife corridors. The Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan also includes goals and policies related to both Parks and Recreation and Shorelines. Regarding parks and recreation, the goal is to develop and maintain facilities that are responsive to the needs and interests of Jefferson County residents and visitors. The associated policies state that existing facilities should: not be overburdened; be planned to support designated residential development; and should include adequate infrastructure. The facilities should also be consistent with the needs and desires of the citizens of the ar~d be compatible with the Shoreline Master Program. Policies related to Parks and Recreation are listed in Appendix E. Regarding shorelines, the goals relate to preserving the long-term benefits of shoreline resources and allowing development which is compatible with the natural environment. Associated policies establish a hierarchy of preferred uses, promote public access, and allow development which is compatible with the natural processes, conditions and functions of the shoreline. Policies related to Shorelines are listed in Appendix E. Jefferson County Shoreline Management Master Program The Shoreline Management Act (SMA) of 1971 (Revised Code of Washington, RCW, Chapter 90.58) was enacted to provide for the management ofthe shorelines of the state by planning for and fostering all reasonable and appropriate uses. It is the policy of the state to protect against adverse effects to public health, land and its vegetation and wildlife, and the waters ofthe state Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS ~/ April 2002 ~ Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS 3-37 April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I and its aquatic life. Permitted uses in the shorelines are to be designed and conducted in a manner to minimize, insofar as practical, any resultant damage to the ecology and environment ofthe shoreline, and any interference with the public's use of the water. The SMA gives responsibility to the local governments in initiating and administering the regulatory program ofthe Act. As a result, Jefferson County developed and adopted a Shoreline Management Master Program (SMMP) in March of 1989. The SMMP is a regulatory ordinance with performance standards for development intended to implement adopted goals and policies. The SMMP is adopted as Section 5 ofthe Jefferson County Unified Development Code. All shorelines subject to the SMA are given a shoreline environment designation designed to locate the most appropriate uses in particular areas and to enhance the character of that shoreline environment. The environment designation for the area of the Port Ludlow Marina is "Urban." Shoreline environment designations are shown in Figure 10. The Urban shoreline environment is an area of high intensity land use, including residential, commercial, and industrial development. The policies and performance standards of the SMMP, Urban Environment give preference to water-dependent, water-related, and water-enjoyment uses (SMMP 4.105). Shoreline uses are classified as "primary," "secondary," or "conditional," in order of preference or appropriateness on a particular shoreline. The Marina is a use which is deemed as preferable within the Urban designation, and is thus classified as "primary"(SMMP 4.201). The SMMP defines marinas as facilities that provide launching, storage, moorage, and other services for six or more pleasure and commercial watercraft. Policies and Performance Standards for marina uses are listed in SMMP 5.110. The Policies and Performance Standards address construction of new marinas. The Port Ludlow Marina is an existing marina and the proposed action is to expand the Marina by 100 additional slips. The Policies and Performance Standards of marina uses also apply to expansion of existing marinas. The policies and performance standards are listed below: Marinas - Policies: 1. In locating marinas, special plans should be made to protect the fish and shellfish resources that may be harmed by construction and operation of the facility. 2. Marinas should be designed in a manner that will reduce damage to fish and shellfish resources and be aesthetically compatible with adjacent areas. 3. Marinas should be located at or near high use or potentially high use areas. Local as well as regional need data should be considered as input in location selection. 4. Special attention should be given to the design and development of operational procedures for fuel handling and storage in order to minimize accidental spillage and provide satisfactory means for handling those spills that do occur.

Shallow water embayments with poor flushing action should not be considered for overnight and long term moorage facilities. 6. The Washington State Department of Fisheries ' guidelines should be consulted in planning for marinas. 7. State and local health agencies have standards and guidelines for the development of marinas that should be consulted. 8. Floating breakwaters should receive valid considerations as an alternative to conventional breakwaters. Marinas - Performance Standards: 1. Marinas shall be located with regard to favorable conditions related to wind, current, and bathymetrics. 2. Marinas that provide overnight or long-term moorage facilities shall not be located in areas with poor flushing action. 3. Marinas shall be compatible with the general aesthetic quality of the shoreline area where they are located. 4. Marinas and ancillary facilities shall be located, designed, constructed, and operated to minimize adverse effects on fish, shellfish, wildlife, water quality, and existing geohydraulic shoreline processes. 5. Marinas shall be located, designed, constructed, and operated so as to not unnecessarily interfere with the rights of adjacent property owners, nor interfere with adjacent water uses. , , 6. Parking and loading areas shall be located well away from the immediate water's edge and beaches. 7. Design ofparldng and loading areas shall assure that surface runoff does not pollute adjacent waters or cause soil or beach erosion. 8. Provisions shall be made to facilitate orderly launching, retrieval, and storage of boats. 9. Provisions shall be made to facilitate the orderly circulation of vehicles and pedestrians in the vicinity of the marina. 10. Marinas shall make adequate provisions to minimize the probability of fuel spills during handling or storage. Provisions shall be made to handle accidental spills that do occur.

Marinas shall be equipped with vessel pump-out and on-shore sewage and waste disposal facilities. Pump-out facilities shall be available at no direct charge to the user. 12. No more than fifteen (15) percent of the wet slips within a marina shall be covered. In general, the SMMP policies place an emphasis on protecting the environment. The performance standards dictate the design for marinas with the intent of minimizing the impact on the natural environment while taking into consideration impacts to existing uses and adjacent property owners. 3.5.2 Environmental Impacts Alternatives " 2, and 3 - Expansion Alternatives Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 are consistent with the goal and policies related to maintaining the viability of the Port Ludlow MPR, limiting urban services to locations within the MPR, and supporting efforts to preserve and protect certain open spaces.

The proposed project is also consistent with the Parks and Recreation Goals and Policies of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, Open Space Element that encourage development and maintenance of park and recreational facilities which are responsive to the needs and interests of Jefferson County residents and visitors. The expansion will relieve existing and potential overburdening of existing recreational areas and facilities. Currently, both the Seattle Yacht Club and Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club have requested the use of marina slips at Port Ludlow for use as a "satellite facility." The request has been denied, due to the lack of available slips. As a result, the Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club uses four slips at the west end of Port Ludlow Bay, as well as rafting and anchoring-out in the bay for its satellite facility. The proposed recreational facilities will support areas designated for future residential development and adequate infrastructure will be available. The location, type, and amount of park and recreational facilities is consistent with the needs and desires of the citizens in the area and will accommodate a diversity of user groups. $' M IV) P 6Y SJIIl f - ~ 6Y'L.

No expansion of the marina may or may not effect the viability of the MPR. With regard to policies related to Parks and Recreation, Alternative 4 will not address the problem of overburdening the existing facility. Whether or not demand for additional docking space in Port Ludlow Bay will result in proposals for other docks elsewhere in the bay, or increased anchoring in the bay, is unknown.

The study describes the existing landscape character, viewer groups, viewpoints, and identified visual impacts. Study and Methodology To evaluate potential visual impacts of a proposed project, both the visual quality of the existing site and viewer sensitivity to the proposed changes must be analyzed. Analyzing aesthetic and visual impacts includes concern for the nature of the visual experience and its quality. Because this type of analysis can be subjective, sets of proven evaluative measures have been developed. The methodology described below was developed from such evaluative measures as they apply to expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina. The methodology employs both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the described landscape components. The project site was first analyzed with respect to three key factors identified below. Ratings from 1 to 5 express the degree to which the landscape contains a high degree of each factor, with 5 being the highest rating. Tabl& summarizes the results of the Existing Scenic Quality Inventory. . General landscape (landform, vegetation, water, color, adjacent scenery, scarcity, and cultural or modifications) relative to the basic design elements of form, line, color, and texture. . Degree of visual interest (vitality, vividness, and variety). How memorable, striking, or distinctive are the elements of the landscape and the visual patterns inherent in it? . Sense (congruence, clarity, and coherence) and unity (fit, intactness, and harmony) are related and explore whether the landscape is compositionally harmonious. Are there visual encroachments to the essential quality of the site that detract from the overall experience? Do manmade elements add and fit within the natural elements of the landscape? Do the visual patterns in the landscape represent a confusing and chaotic quality rather than a coherent and congruent experience? Viewer sensitivity was then analyzed relative to the type of viewers, amount of use (i.e., frequency and duration), the level of public interest, adjacent land uses, and uniqueness of the scenery. Viewer sensitivity levels were identified for four viewer categories relative to six factors in Table 3. Other related analyses involve identifying key view or observation points, viewsheds in the area, and distance zones related to views ofthe site. Lastly, impacts were assessed by contrasting the visual quality of the existing area and viewpoints with the visual quality ofthe proposed changes, via the use of computer simulation Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I photographs. Contrast ratings are developed for each alternative, and an analysis of impacts is developed. The level of viewer sensitivity is factored into the impact assessment. Several of the inventory and analytical worksheets used for this analysis were adapted from the Bureau of Land Management's Visual Resource Management Manual. Consequently, some of the charts may reflect their system of classification. YJtk ? '11 ftM- {;J d/JJ c ffeJ I f]sJ- ? 3.6.1 Affected Environment Existing Visual Environment The Port Ludlow Marina is located on the north side of Port Ludlow Bay, on the western shore ofPuget Sound, just north of where Hood Canal enters Puget Sound. The intimately-sized bay is partially enclosed by medium steep and rounded slopes that surround it on most of three sides. Although views east of the site may include some expanses of the larger Puget Sound, the more immediate views of the marina area are of the protected bay and surrounding hillsides. The relative steepness of the slopes gradually lessens to gentle banks to the north of the Marina and the flat promontory area (known as Burner Point), east of the Marina. Existing views ofthe site are shown below. Adjacent hillsides are mostly covered with a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees that provide a variety of interesting forms, textures, color, and patterns. The bay is a dominant factor in the landscape. The J-shaped bay lends a quality of protection that gradually spirals out to larger, more expansive vistas of the Sound as one leaves the immediate vicinity of the Marina. The Marina is located along the north shore of the bay. The Marina itself provides visual interest to the scene. It provides texture, pattern, color, and movement, while generally fitting well in its natural setting and within the scale of the surrounding bay. The upland area of the Marina is developed with parking, and small marina buildings. Beyond this to the north are undeveloped parking areas. The upland area to the east is flatter topographically and is developed with larger- scaled buildings including a restaurant, inn and condominium development. There is less natural and landscape vegetation here partially due to the amount of development, but also due to the nature of a less protected and windy promontory location. To the west of the Marina is an Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS 0!!/ April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I undeveloped wooded slope. An area of single-family residences are located west ofthis slope; generally characterized by homes on individual lots surrounded by a combination of natural and landscaped vegetation. The visual analysis ofthe existing landscape is summarized in Table 3 below. The general landscape rating was based upon a site inspection, using a form adapted from the Scenic Quality Inventory and Evaluation Chart developed by the Bureau of Land Management for Scenic Quality Assessment of federal lands use, as published in the Visual Resource Management ,- Manual 8400 BLM Standards. Visual Interest and Sense & Unity are described earlier iH"'the Methodology section. In the table below, the General Landscape, Visual Interest~~ense and Unity Ratings are broken down relative to the elements of Landform, Vegetation, Water, Color, Influence of Adjacent Scenery, Uniqueness/Scarcity, and Cultural Modifications/Manmade Form.

Totals of 80 and above = High Visual Quality Totals of 79 to 42 = Medium Visual Quality Totals of 41 or below are of Low Visual Quality 31 Based on the scoring techniques used in this analysis, a total score of 80 or more is considered a high rating. The analysis resulted in a high rating of96 points. It was rated slightly lower relative to only two issues, intactness and uniqueness/scarcity. Intactness relates to whether development has had a negative impact on the natural scenic quality of the setting. In the case of previously developed areas with high visual quality, intactness may also refer to whether new Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I development is congruent with the existing pattern of built form that has been key to the visual quality of the setting. Intactness is reflected in the factors of Influence of Adjacent Scenery, Cultural ModificationslManmade Form, and would affect ratings under the General Landscape and Sense and Unity Ratings. In this case, much of the development has been well integrated into the natural setting (e.g., homes on well-vegetated lots). A few examples of more recent development are less successful in this regard and consequently the rating for Adjacent Scenery indicates a slight impact to the intactness of the scenery. Regarding Uniqueness/Scarcity, the marina site cannot be characterized as being completely one of a kind in northwest Washington, but it is still a highly-valued example of this type oflandscape setting in this area. Viewer Sensitivity Viewer sensitivity issues of the Port Ludlow Marina have been divided into four locations based on different views. These locations are: . Views from Oak Bay Road, above the Marina. . Views from Other Roads and public areas with views of the Marina. . Views from Adjacent or near-by Residential Properties. . Views from Other Residential Properties further inside, or across, the bay. Viewer sensitivity levels were evaluated on the basis of the following factors: . Viewer type . Amount of use (i.e., duration and frequency) . Public Interest . Adjacent Land Use . Uniqueness/Cultural Value of the Areas . Other Factors such as Level of Impact Four viewer sensitivity categories listed above were identified and analyzed. Sensitivity levels for each of the four locations were then rated as High, Medium, or Low relative to the factors listed above. Viewer sensitivity ratings are shO\\'TI in Table 4 below.

H L H L M+ L L+ L The analysis of viewer sensitivity issues for each location above, demonstrates that of the locations have significant levels of sensitivity to proposed expansion of the Marina: 1. Those related to viewing the site from Oak Bay Road, 2. Those related to viewing the site from Adjacent Residential Properties. Oak Bay Road provides important views for those traveling past the site. These views are public views, close to the site, on a well-traveled public road, and hence, important to a large number of viewers. This is the best, ifnot the only good view of this portion of Port Ludlow Bay from a public road. It is recognized, however, that most viewers are travelling at a speed that lowers sensitivity. Trees and vegetation obscure the Marina in many places. The over-all sensitivity level for views from Oak Bay Road is "High." The viewer sensitivity for views from adjacent and nearby properties have a "Medium to High" sensitivity level. The group of viewers associated with this view is relatively small and characterized by a private, as opposed to public interest. However, there is a higher potential for impact associated with this view because the views of the Marina extend over a greater period of time, at different view angles, at various times of day, with a range oflight conditions, and it is unobscured. The viewers in this group view the Marina from their home environment. Views from other properties across the bay or further away from the Marina and from public roads in the study area have lower sensitivity levels since the proposal site is obscured or too distant to have a significant impact. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS April 2002 ~ 3-47 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I View Analysis In a separate study by Reid Middleton, a View Analysis was conducted. Several viewpoints and their related viewsheds in three distance zones were identified (Figures 11 through 13). Five viewpoints, noted below, were reviewed for potential impacts. Three of these viewpoints (Viewpoints #1, 2, and 3) were identified as key viewpoints subject to a more detailed analysis in the following section. Viewpoint #1 represents views from Viewshed 1, that segment of Oak Bay Road located directly above the Marina. Views from this area are characterized by being high in frequency and high in public interest, but sometimes obscured by vegetation and the speed at which the viewer is movmg. Viewpoint #2 represents views from Viewshed 2, adjacent private residential waterfront property (known as the "Scott Court" property). These views are characterized by a limited number of viewers with a prolonged viewing time. Views of the Marina and bay are unobscured. Viewpoint #3 represents views from Viewshed 3, private residential waterfront properties across the bay. These views are unobscured by topography or vegetation, but are obscured by distance. Viewpoint #4 represents views from public roadways across the bay. There are few views of the Marina from this viewshed; vegetation, buildings, and distance often obscure what views there are. Viewpoint #5 represents views from homes or residential streets that are distant. These views mayor may not be obscured by topography, vegetation, or buildings. The number of viewers is small and the public interest is low. 3.6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Impact Assessment As stated above, one key viewpoint was identified in each of View sheds #1, 2, and 3 for a more detailed analysis through view simulation. These key viewpoints are: . View #1 from Oak Bay Road. For purpose of analysis, this view is divided into "Left," "Middle," and "Right" in order to adequately depict the expansive view of the Marina from this location. . View #2 from Scott Court. View #2 represents the view from adjacent residential properties west of the Marina. . View #3 from across Port Ludlow Bay. View #3 provides for further analysis of the visual impact to waterfront properties located further away.

Computer simulations of the proposed project and alternatives were then produced and compared to the existing views. The existing views were evaluated and contrasted to the simulation view of the proposed changes using the "Viewer Contrast Rating Sheet" shown below. The contrasts are evaluated and rated as "Strong," "Moderate," or "Weak." The existing and simulated views are shown in Figures 14 through 22.

A weak contrast rating means that the difference in the existing view and the view with simulated changes is very slight. Moderate contrast rating means that the change in the simulated view is more than discernible. A strong contrast rating means there is a good amount of difference between the computer simulated photograph and the photograph of the existing view. Alternatives # 1 - Proposed Project # 2 - Deep Water # 3 - 1993 Design #4 - ExistingINo Action Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS View #2 Scott Court View #3 Across The Ba Weak-None 3-52 April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I The contrast rating was then combined with viewer sensitivity and a determination made as to how the view was different in order to evaluate the degree of visual impact. It is generally assumed that within areas exhibiting a high value of existing scenic quality (such as Port Ludlow Bay), any significant change results in a "Strong" contrast rating and potentially a high visual impact. The analysis of the contrast rating and visual impact for each key view for each alternative is summarized below: Alternative 1: Proposed Project Alternative 1 will expand the Marina primarily westward and waterward, and will be visible to some degree from all three key views. View #1. The simulation View #1 "Left" has no discernable change from the existing view. The View #1 "Middle" will have a very slight change and received a weak contrast rating. The change to View #1 "Right" was greater than the other portions ofthis view, but considering the speed at which the Marina is viewed and the location of trees that obscure the view of proposed modifications, the contrast rating is still relatively weak. View #1 is considered the most significant view because of the number of viewers, the greater public interest, and visual access to Port Ludlow Bay. In conclusion, the proposed project has minor visual impact on this key viewpoint (see figures Al,VI-L, VI-M, and VI-R). View #2. The contrast rating for View #2 is rated strong. Some expansion of docks here could have a positive visual impact by providing a transition from the foreground structure (Scott Dock) to the background structures (houses and housing developments across the bay). The proposed project has a high visual impact to this viewshed, especially when the length of time viewers are exposed to the view is weighed. The view is part of their daily, home environment and has a great impact to those private residents that are subject to the changes proposed (see Figure V#2). This key viewpoint is not as significant as View #1 because although its view is unobscured, it has a smaller number of viewers. View #3. The visual impact to View #3 is visible, but has only a weak contrast rating (See Figure V#3). Alternative 2: Deep Water Design Alternative 2 results in expansion of the Marina primarily waterward. The expansion will be J primarily visible from View #1. ./ fuOt _ ~? tlWJ- AA.oJ(>~ - wuJ..r..( t11&-d 7 View #1. This alternative has a strong contrast rating for View #1. This is important because this view received a high viewer sensitivity rating, although the visual impact is lessened by the speed at which viewers tend to see the bay.

Alternative 3: 1993 Design Alternative 3 will result in a generally lateral expansion of the Marina, to both the east and west. The expansion will be visible, at least to some degree, from all three key views. Views #1 and #3. Since the expansion is spread throughout the Marina, the contrast ratings are lower. View #2. View #2 will have a strong - moderate contrast rating and a moderately high visual impact (see Figures A3, VI, 2, 3). Alternative 4: No Action No expansion of the Marina will result in no changes to e~ing views. l.,,_ l' V If\\D~ - S1 w ;;:. In summary, Alternative 1 - propo~roject has high visual impact from View #2. Alternative 2 - Deep Water has high visual impact to View # 1. Alternative 3 - 1993 Design has spread out visual impacts so that its visual impacts range from weak to moderately high on all of the views, but has higher impact on View 2. In general, all of the expansion alternatives will result in visual ~acts. The differences between the alternatives are related to which view thi~roposed ~lternative would most impact and the number of viewers impacted. All alternatives including the existing/no action also share a. visual impact that stems from the trend towards a preference for larger sized vessels. Because the proposals represent expansion of existing development, the impacts are relatively less than if new, different, and larger-scaled development was proposed. / Construction Impacts Short-term, construction-related impacts were also considered. During the first phase of construction, one or two barges will be used, one with a barge-mounted crane. One or two small workboats (around 20 feet) will also be present. It is anticipated that the new piles will be brought in by barge. The new floats will be assembled on-shore and dropped in place by the crane after the piles are driven. Typically, the construction will take place first in the vicinity of the more landward docks and then proceed waterward.

Roadways in the project area are shown in Figure 23. The Resort area, including the marina, is accessed from Oak Bay Road. Approximately 1,400 linear feet of existing private internal roads (including Marine Drive, which provides access to the marina) serve the marina, restaurant, and the Inn. Traffic Volumes Port Ludlow Associates is required by Jefferson County to provide a yearly traffic-monitoring program for Port Ludlow. The purpose of the monitoring program is to provide a cumulative summary of traffic volumes in the area and an assessment of current operating conditions at critical intersections in the general area. The Washington State Department of Transportation had also expressed concern about traffic in Port Ludlow during July and August, particularly on weekends. Their comments were submitted for the 1993 programmatic EIS for the Port Ludlow Development Plan. The Port Ludlow monitoring program has thus focused on weekend counts by taking machine counts on a Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in August. These times also coincide with peak marina usage. The year 2001 is the eighth year that data has been collected for this program. The 2001 detailed data, analysis, and conclusions ofthis monitoring program can be found in Appendix F of this Draft SEIS. Jefferson County collects weekday traffic data on a yearly basis. This information allows for a comparison between weekday and weekend traffic, and an analysis of the impacts that the Port Ludlow development has on local traffic volumes. The 2001 traffic volume patterns in the monitoring study represent the impact of recreational traffic on weekends during the summer months. The monitoring study generally concludes that overall, 2001 traffic volumes are higher than in 1994, although a few locations are still below the volumes recorded seven years ago. As noted in the previous monitoring reports, Port Ludlow traffic does not appear to be contributing significantly to the higher volumes. On SR 104, the 24-hour traffic volumes were higher on the weekend than during the week. The difference between the weekend and weekday volumes on the County arterials is relatively small. Previously, the higher weekend volumes have been attributed to travelers heading to the Port Angeles and Port Townsend areas for summertime recreation. The higher traffic volumes on the County arterials on a weekday have been attributed to the presence of commuter traffic. The County arterials serving Port Ludlow experience relatively low volumes when compared to the state highways. The overall rate of growth at the locations counted in the monitoring program ranged from approximately -3.5 to 4.3 percent per year over the past seven years, with most locations falling into the 1 percent growth range.

During weekends, the intersections along SR-104 operated at a lower LOS than on the weekdays with SR 104/Paradise Bay Road and SR 1 04/Beaver Valley Road at LOS B and LOS E, respectively. The remaining intersections did not differ from their weekday operations. The year 2001 pattern was very similar to those of past years. Data collected for intersections with SR 104 vary significantly with the season. During the summer months, the volume of traffic will be much higher due to vehicles traveling to recreational destinations. During winter months, traffic volume is at a much lower level for the SR 104 intersections, which would result in better levels of service during the winter months. A traffic study prepared by Jefferson County for the year of 2000 collected data on existing Level of Service and Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for road segments within the County. This study included the roadway segment of Oak Bay Road between Paradise Bay Road and Olympus Boulevard, the roadway used to access the marina. The current LOS on this Oak Bay Road segment is C with an ADT of3,624 trips (ADT LOS "C" capacity is listed as 7,400, and the current Jefferson County LOS standard is C). It is not anticipated that the LOS or capacity of this roadway segment will be exceeded prior to 2021. Parking A Parking Management Plan - Port Ludlow Marina Expansion was prepared by the project sponsor and submitted to the Jefferson County Department of Community Development in July 2000.

Existing off-street parking areas serving the marina are shown in Figure 24. Currently, 89 paved parking spaces are located immediately adjacent to the marina (Area PP). An additional 60 parking spaces are available in the first and second upper gravel lots located on either side of the marina access road (Areas A and B). Overflow parking for 14 vehicles (Area C) is available offthe resort road across from Area B. In addition, the marina has a lease agreement with the Ludlow Maintenance Commission (LMC) for use ofa minimum of 50 percent of the LMC parking area and a maximum of 100 percent for m~flow parking. There are 56 parking spaces available at the LMC parking area located north ~eas Band C. Thus, a maximum of 56 parking spaces are available for the marina use for overflow parking. A total of 219 parking spaces are now available for the existing 280 marina slips, which is greater than one space per four slips. Parking requirements for the Resort area will be addressed in the upcoming Resort SEIS. Required parking for the Marina will be reviewed again at that time, once the use mix within the Resort is determined. Currently, peak parking demand occurs on summer weekend days, with the greatest demand during large events such as Ludlow Days. 3.7.2 Environmental Impacts For all expansion alternatives, it is anticipated that the majority of the new slips will serve residents of Port Ludlow. These residents will access the marina from Paradise Bay Road and Oak Bay Road. Boat owners from outside Port Ludlow will access the marina from SR 104, Beaver Valley Road, Paradise Bay Road, and Oak Bay Road.

The Transportation element of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan concludes that historically, traffic growth on SR 104 is influenced primarily by regional or through-traffic and is not as significantly increased by local developments. Thus, the proposed marina expansion is not likely to have a significant influence on traffic growth on SR 104. Additional information regarding impacts on the County arterials follows: Alternatives 1, 2, and 3: Expansion Alternatives The proposed expansion will create additional traffic on Oak Bay Road, Paradise Bay Road and within the Resort area. The roadway segment most affected by the proposal is Oak Bay Road between Paradise Bay Road and Olympus Boulevard. The Institute of Transportation Engineer (ITE)'s Trip Generation Manual (Sixth Edition) provides data of trip generation based on surveys of marinas in the metropolitan areas of San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle. In addition to docks and berths for boats, some of the sites surveyed also had social and club activities, limited retail and restaurants. The ITE data indicates that an average of2.96 trips are generated per slip on weekdays, an average of 3.22 trips per slip are generated on Saturdays, and an average of 6.40 trips per slip are generated on Sundays. According to this manual, the proposed 100-slip expansion of the marina will generate approximately an additional 296 trips on weekdays, 322 trips on Saturdays, and 640 trips on Sundays. Traffic from expansion ofthe marina is not anticipated to exceed LOS standards. The greatest increase in traffic will occur on weekends. Currently, peak traffic use on Oak Bay and Paradise Bay Roads in the vicinity ofthe marina is 3: 15-4: 15 p.m., on weekdays. The LOS for this segment of Oak Bay Road is C and the ADT capacity for LOS Standard of C is 7,400 ADT. Trip generation by the marina is highest on Sundays and the additional 640 trips generated by the marina expansion results in a total volume of4,264 on Sundays, which is below the capacity for LOS Standard of C.

Parking The increase in the number of slips in the marina will result in an increased demand for parking. Using a standard of one parking space for every four slips, an additional 25 parking spaces (for a total of95 spaces) will be required. The total number of available proposed parking space for the Marina is 219, 124 more than what is required. Existing off-street parking provision is sufficient for the proposed expansion. Alternative 4: No Action No expansion of the marina will result in no traffic or parking impacts associated with expanSIOn. 3.7.3 Mitigating Measures No mitigation measures are required for this project. 3.7.4 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No significant unavoidable adverse impacts to traffic or parking are anticipated from this project.

Fire District 3 operates from four fire statio : ne in Port Ludlow, one in Paradise Bay, one on South Point Road, and one in Chimacum. he construction of the new Port Ludlow fire station is now complete. The fire station is occupied and firefighters and staff are responding to calls under a temporary occupanc~ p;:mit. The new Port Ludlow station will receive its final occupancy permit around Ma~2. The new station is manned by two career fire fighters/EMTs 24 hours a day, 365 days per year and three volunteers and eight program volunteers. This station houses one pumper truck, one tender, an ambulance, and support vehicles. The Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3 responded to a total of 373 alarms in 2000 with 69 of those for North Bay/Port Ludlow and 52 for South Bay/Port Ludlow. The existing fire protection system at the marina consists of three individual portable saltwater pump units located in small shed storage areas dispersed throughout the float system. The prior fire suppression system consisted of a wet line to fire standpipes located throughout the float system. The older pipe system was abandoned due to its deteriorated condition and replaced with the portable fire suppression system in 1997. The County Fire Marshall was consulted and approved the current fire suppression system when it was installed. 3.8.7.2 Environmentallmpacts For all expansion alternatives, a piped fire suppression system with call boxes will be required for all new floats. The system will consist of a piped connection to the existing fire line on land near the existing marina office. A double detector check valve, post indicator valve and siamese fire department connection will be provided in the vicinity of the marina office. A dry line pipe will run from the landside, down the existing gangway and will be run along the docks under the walers. A fire department connection standpipe will be installed on the dock system per code such that no point on the new dock system will be more than 75 feet from a fire connection standpipe. In addition, a fire hose cabinet with a direct connection to the standpipe will be located at each fire standpipe location; a fire extinguisher will also be located at each of the fire hose cabinets. Additional fire standpipes may be added to the existing floats on A-, B-, C-, D-, and E-Docks and along the existing central walkways to improve fire-fighting capabilities on these existing floats. Alternatives 1, 2, and 3: Expansion Alternatives The increase in the number of boat slips will generate an incremental increase in service calls to the fire district. It is not anticipated this increase will be significant. The new fire suppression system will improve the ability to control and contain fires at the marina. With the presence of a fire piping system, additional fire extinguishers, fire hose cabinets, and numerous fire connection ports, the ability to fight fires is greatly improved.

Alternative 4: No Action No expansion ofthe marina will result in no increased demand for fire/emergency medical services. There will also be no new additional fire suppression system, which may result in a longer containment time for fires than Alternatives 1,2, and 3, resulting in more debris and pollution from any fire events. 3.8.1.3 Mitigating Measures Proposed: · At least two fire hydrants and adequate emergency access will be provided in the area of the proposed marina expansion. · A dry line piped fire suppression system will be provided on float C, down the central walkway, and on all new docks. Additional extensions to the existing docks may also be constructed. This new piped system will provide fire-fighting capabilities such that each area on the new float system is no more than 75 feet from a fire fighting apparatus. Improved fire fighting capabilities will reduce the potential for debris and pollutant contamination from fire events. ~. Marina personnel and liveaboard residents will receive mandatory training in emergency fire fighting procedures. _________ · Fire call boxes will be provided on the new floats and down the main walkway. These alarms and the main fire alarm for the marina will be linked to a monitoring service or other entity to assure automatic alert of appropriate authorities. · A connection will be provided between B-Dock and C-Dock to provide additional access to the docks for fire fighting crews and for egress for boaters from the docks in the event of a fire emergency. This will allow each dock to be accessed by two gangways instead ofthe current one gangway access system for Docks C, D, and E. 3.8.1.4 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No significant unavoidable adverse impacts to fire and emergency medical services are anticipated. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 3.8.2 Electrical Service 3.8.2.1 Affected Environment The condition of the existing electrical system at the marina varies based on the year of installation. The electrical systems on A-Dock are functional, but the system should be renovated to improve reliability and increase service capacity at several slips. The marina is currently in the process of replacing the electrical system on A-Dock. The electrical system fm B-Dock was recently rebuilt and is a state-of-the-art vessel power distribution system. In 2000, 100-ampere service was installed to the end tie slip on the west end ofD-Dock. The new service is routed under the waler from the nearest transformer. 3.8.2.2 Environmentallmpacts Alternatives 1, 2, and 3: Expansion Alternatives The addition of 100 slips will increase the demand for electrical service; and during construction, electrical service may be temporarily lost. The existing electrical distribution system is not capable of supplying power necessary for the expansion. This will require transformers to be placed on the landside and on some dock structures to provide power supply for the new dock facilities. There is adequate capacity in the landside supply system to support the new loads. All electrical services on the floats will be run in conduits internal to the float system. Where the electrical service runs along existing dock structures, and the dock structure does not have the capacity for additional conduit, some sealed conduits will be run along the existing floats under the walers. Alternative 4: No Action No expansion of the marina will result in no expansion ofthe electrical service. 3.8.2.3 Mitigating Measures Proposed: · Renovate the electrical service distribution system to A-Dock. · Install all electrical systems in conduit internal to the float or isolated in conduit from the water. · Install electrical system per code regarding safety and environmental requirements. 3.8.2.4 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No significant adverse impacts to the electrical service are anticipated.

The source of water is groundwater. The Port Ludlow development has water rights, which equal to 186 million gallons per year. Olympic Water and Sewer, Inc. produces an annual "Well Productions Report" to monitor their water usage. For the year 2001, the Port Ludlow development used a total of 89.2 million gallons of water; of the total 89.2 million gallons, the marina accounted for approximately 1.7 million gallons (4,602 gallons per day), or approximately 2 percent of total water use. In the year 2000, the marina accounted for approximately 3 percent oftotal water usage. Currently there are 280 slips at the marina, as well as upland restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. _} ~j t~...R? Annual water use for the Port Ludlow development is expected to stay well below the ~\ I\frt..t . 186 million gallons of annual water rights. The adequacy of fire flow is addressed in Section 3.8.1, Fire/Emergency Services. 3.8.3.2 Environmentallmpacts Alternatives 1, 2 and 3: Expansion Alternatives All expansion alternatives will result in an increased demand for domestic water. Water will be used at the slips, as well as at existing upland facilities such as the laundry, restroom, and showers. The following summarizes past water use at the marina and the anticipated increase in water usage: . Average Marina Water Usage (1991-2001) = 4,757 gallons per day (GPD)/1,736,305 gallons per year. . Number of Slips = 280 slips. . Water Usage per slip at the marina = 4,757/280 = approximately 17.0 GPD. . Anticipated increase in daily water usage at the marina = 1,700 GPD. . Anticipated total Marina Water Usage with expansion = 6,457 GPD/2,356,805 gallons per year. . Total annual increase in water usage = 620,500 gallons per year, or a 0.7 percent increase in year 2001 total Port Ludlow water usage. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS ~o April 2002 ~r:II~r.T;1I ~~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Thus, with the marina expansion, the annual water usage for the Port Ludlow development will not exceed their 186 million gallons of annual water rights. Alternative 4: No Action No expansion of the marina will result in no substantial increased demand for domestic water from the marina. Water previously allocated for the marina expansion could be transferred to other uses. 3.8.3.4 Mitigating Measures Proposed: . A 100-slip expansion of the marina was anticipated in planning for the water system. 3.8.3.5 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No unavoidable adverse impacts are anticipated. 3.8.4 Sanitary Sewer Service 3.8.4.1 Affected Environment The existing sanitary sewer system consists of a single, stationary boat sewage pump out system installed on the fuel float. The boat sewage pump out is a Keco Model installed in the early 1990s. The existing discharge piping and system is in working condition and has sufficient capacity to support the Marina. The marina has also recently purchased a new portable pump-out facility; it is anticipated that this portable facility will be available in May 2002. ___ vyJ4: -- / The draft Resort at Ludlow Bay Marina Regulations and Policies address discharge of gray and black water in Section III D., as follows: D. DISCHARGE OF BLACK WATER AND GRAY WATER 1. All vessels, which moor in the Marina, must be in compliance with all regulations established by the United States Coast Guard or other federal or state regulatory agencies. 2. Discharge of black water from vessels while in Ludlow Bay is prohibited. 3. Sanitary waste disposal facilities are available at designated locations within the Marina a t no charge to users. All users shall use these facilities for the disposal of raw sewage. 4. Live aboards must pump their holding tanks on a monthly basis. Port Ludlow Marina Expansion Pre-Draft SEIS \ ~(// ~ April 2002 ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 5. A pump out log is located on the fuel dock shed, all vessels utilizing the pump out must sign the pump out log. 6. The discharge of gray water is currently under review by the State, but discourag~w~ in the Marina. Only Biodegradable soaps and cleaners may be used while in the Ludlow Bay Marina. Item 9 ofthe Resort at Ludlow Bay Liveaboard Agreement addresses sewage disposal as follows: . Vessels must be equipped with a Coast Guard approved holding tank. Liveaboards are required to use the pump-out station Monthly. Failure to do so will result in termination of the live aboard agreement. You will move off your boat or move the boat out of the marina within ten (10) days of non-compliance. A liveaboard pump out log will be kept and updated daily. Boats at-anchor in the bay (both transient and permanent at-anchor) can use Port Ludlow pump- out facilities, but cannot be required by Port Ludlow to do SO-,w.eI'T~t +- ~ la.ws, 3.8.4.2 Environmentallmpacts Alternatives 1, 2, and 3: Expansion Alternatives The expansion of the marina will create an increased demand for sewage pump-out and enforcement services. A second portable sewage pump-out facility will be provided as part of the marina expansion construction project. Alternative 4: No Action No expansion of the marina will result in no increased demand for sewage services. 3.8.4.3 Mitigating Measures Proposed: . Two portable pump-out carts will be available for use in addition to the existing fixed pumpout facility. . Enforcement of rules regarding discharge of black water will be strictly enforced by Marina management. . The Marina Live Aboard Agreement, Regulations and Policies, and Best Management Practices have been reviewed and revised to address current marina issues, including discharge of sewage. 3.8.4.4 Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts No significant adverse impacts related to sanitary sewer service are anticipated.

CONDITIONS I I I I I I Subsurface conditions within the project area were e""plofcd by drilling seven borings from a barge to deptbs ranging from about 32 to 50 ft below the mudline. The boring locations are indicated on the Site Plan, Figure 2. Laboratory soil testing was accomplished on representative soil samples obtained from the borings. A discussion of field exploration and laboratory test procedures, together with detailed logs of the borings llnd laboratory test results. are presented in Appendix A. Based on conditions encountered in the borings, the area in the vicinity of the proposed improvements is generally Wlder1ain by an uppcrunit of very soft., [teen.t marine sediment over a Jower unit of lUeditnn dense/stiff, older marine sediment. Underlying the marine sediment is an upper unit of medium stiff glacial deposits and a lower unit of denseJbard glacial deposits. The upper marine sediment is typically a very soft, silt with clay and variable amounts of sand and shell fragments. Thc upper marine sediment extends to a depth of about 4 ft in boring B-1 to about 2S ft in boring B-5. In general, the thickness of these sediments increases with distance from the shoreline. The upper marine sediment also contains a variable amount of soft. woody material and other organics as observed in borings B-2 and B-6. Below the very soft, upper marine deposit is a denser unit of older marine sediments ranging in composition from silty, fine to ntedium sand with gravel to fi1\e sandy silt. The density of this lower marine sediment ranges from loose to dense and from stiff to very stiff. This lmit also contains shell fragments and SOme woody debris. The lower marine unit was observed in borings BM2, B-3. and B-4 and was encountered as shallow as 8 Y: ft in boring B-2 and as deep as 29 ft below mudline in boring B-4. Two different gl3cial deposits were encownered during our explorations. The uPP'->r glacial wlit was primarily soft to stiff, clayey silt with sand and fine b't3ve1. The upper glacial unit includcs soil C()nsistent with unconsolidated or partially consolidated glaciomarine drift. l'be upper glacial unit was encountered in borinb"5 B-3, :9-4, and B-S and was encountered between depths of27 ft and 42 ft below the mudline. A denser lower glacial unit was encotmtered underlyiog the softer upper glacial unit in borings B-~. B-4. and B-S and diteCtly below the marine sediments in borings 8M 1, B-2. B-6, and B-7. The lowet' glacial unit had a variable composition including silty gravelly sand, sand with silt and gravel, and clayey silt with sand and gravel. The lower unit includes soil consistent with consolidated glacial outwash, glaciomarine drift, and glacial till. The lower glacial unit was medium dense to very denscJhard. nIe top of the lower glacial unit generally increases in depth with distance (to the south) from the shore ranging frOtll about 7 ft below the mudline in boring B-1 to about 29 ft in boring B-4.

If the new owner cannot secure a slip via the Wait Ust before the expiration of the Moorage Agreement or the six-month period, then he or she must vacate the marina. G. BERTH TRANSFERSflRADES 1. A moorage holder may fill out a "Request to Move" application to move from one berth to another providing that the berth is of an equal length as that already leased. Exceptions will be made for those tenants leasing variable side ties. Tenants leasing variable side ties may sign a request to move application for an appropriate size berth for their currently owned vessel. 2. If moorage holder is looking for a larger or smaller slip than currently leased, applicant must go on the wait list for that size berth. (See IV: Wait List pg. 9) 3. A "request to move" list for each berth length will be compiled, and regularly updated in the Marina office. Transferring of berths will be made from these lists based on seniority dates. 4. A non-refundable, annual, request to move application and administrative fee of $20.00 will be charged. 5. If an applicant on the musical boat list fails to accept the offered transfer slip, or cannot be reached in 72 hours of the date moorage is offered, the application will be canceled. Applicants are responsible for keeping the marina advised of applicant's current address and phone numbers. 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 6. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to make arrangements to move the vessel to the newly assigned slip within 72 hours of the accepted transfer. 7. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to provide an alternate contact party in the event applicant cannot be reached. H. PARTNERSHIPS 1. The Ludlow Bay Marina does recognize partnerships in an established vessel of record. a. Partnerships must be declared and the names of the partners recorded at the time that the individual(s) apply for moorage on the waiting list, or at least twelve (12) months prior to acquiring moorage. b. In the event that a berthage is acquired through the purchase of a vessel of record, the partnership will be declared, and the names of the partners recorded, when the transfer takes place. c. One partner must be designated as the "partner of record" and will be responsible for all berthage fees and berthage requirements. d. Proof-of-ownership of the vessel of record must be provided, showing each partner as an owner of the vessel. e. Each partner must own a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the vessel, and must substantiate this ownership. In addition to regular proof of ownership documents.

DEFINITION A Iiveaboard is defined as any person(s) residing on their vessel over 14 days in a one-month period. If you reside on your vessel over 14 days you are considered a liveaboard and must pay all applicable fees retaining to living aboard. B. AUTHORIZATION The Ludlow Bay Marina liveaboard policy requires written liveaboard authorization for person(s) residing on their vessel. A Liveaboard agreement may be picked up at the Marina office. 14 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Only person(s) named on this agreement shall reside aboard the vessel. C. RULES 1. Liveaboard tenants shall submit to inspection of their vessels plumbing and mechanical systems to verify compliance with state and local public health and safety laws. Such inspections will be made at the sole discretion of marina management. 2. Pets are welcomed but not encouraged to reside on the vessel. All Pet owners must keep their pet on a leash at all times while on marina premises including the docks. Pet owners must clean up after their pets. Pooper Scoopers are strategically placed around the marina premises for your use. 3. Liveaboards must agree to enhance Marina security by calling to the attention of Marina staff any damage to boats on docks, unauthorized persons on docks, possible theft, unsafe practices, etc. In case of a fire, Iiveaboards are expected to dial 911 for assistance, and contact Marina management as soon as possible. 4. Liveaboards are required to use the pump out station on a monthly basis. Failure to do so will result in termination of the liveaboard agreement. A pump out log is stationed at the fuel dock. Dumping of black water will result in termination of the Iiveaboard agreement and moorage agreement. (See pump out rules and regulations Pg. 6) 5. Vessels must at all times meet Federal, State, and local laws which include those pertaining to navigational and safety equipment. Vessels must be completely seaworthy and ready for immediate cruising in local waters. A vessel that is being used only to Iiveaboard and not for the purpose of cruising is not eligible for moorage. 6. Liveaboards must follow all rules and regulations stated in this manual. 15 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Resort at Ludlow Bay Marina Best Management Practices Best Management Practices The Port Ludlow Marina is committed to preserving and enhancing the environment through proper Management of activities, which occur at this facility. In accordance with the Department of Ecology, United State Coast Guard regulations, and the Federal Clean Water Act, we have established these Best Management Practices which we hope will ensure the safekeeping of our harbor and marine environment: I. Bilge Water Management and Fueling Practices The discharge of contaminated bilge water is illegal. Do not discharge bilge water that is contaminated with oil, detergents, or bilge cleaners. The fine for discharging oil from your bilge can be as high as $20,000 per day/per violation. Use oil absorbent bilge pads or pillows in your vessel's bilge to soak up oil and fuel. Prevent oil contamination of bilge water. Do not drain oil into bilge. Fit a tray underneath the engine to collect drips. Put a couple of pads in the pan to make cleanup easier. Keep bilge area as dryas possible. Fix all fuel and oil leaks in a timely fashion. Disposal of oil soaked adsorbents, as a household hazardous waste is possible. Otherwise, wrap in newspaper; place in a plastic bag, and place into the garbage. n. Fueling Operations All fueling must take place at the fuel pier. A void topping off your fuel tanks. Estimate the amount of fuel needed prior to filling your tank. Catch any spills with an absorbent pad. Do not use detergents on oil/fuel spilled in the water. Detergents disperse spills, but do not eliminate them. Never leave fuel nozzles unattended. Oil absorbent pads are available at the fuel dock store. III Hazardous Chemicals, Cleaners and Waste Hazardous or flammable chemical/materials shall not be stored in the dock lockers or on the pier. Disposal of used oil, antifreeze, paints, solvents, varnishes and automotive batteries into the garbage is prohibited. These materials are not to be discharged to the sanitary sewage or to marine waters. Do not dispose of these wastes in the Marina garbage dumpsters and DO NOT leave these wastes on the dock. The Marina has a hazardous waste collection facility for your I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I use. Contact the Marina Office or call VHF Channel 68 for the appropriate handling of such materials (see this manual: Utilities: Hazardous Waste.) IV Waste Oil Used oil is to be disposed of at the oil recycle station (see this manual: Utilities: Waste Oil.) Contact the Marina Office for details or call on VHF Channel 68. For disposal of oil filters, contact the Marina Office or call VHF Channel 68. V Spill Prevention and Response Store oil absorbent materials on your vessel in case of spills. If a spill occurs, stop the spill or leakage source and contain the spill. In an emergency spill in the water, contact the Marina Office or call VHF Channel 68 immediately for needed assistance in containing a spill. The U.S. Coast Guard requires report of a spill immediately. Call the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802 and the Department of Ecology at 1-800-0ILS-911 or VHF channel 16. Information for reporting spills is posted in the marina office. Do not use detergents on oil spilled in the water. Detergents disperse spills, but do not eliminate them Oil and detergents are toxic to fish and other marine life. VI Solid Waste Throwing garbage into the water or on the land is prohibited. Use trash dumpsters located at the marina for your use. Recycling dispensers for aluminum, glass, newspaper, tin and plastic are available (see this manual: Utilities: Recycling.) VII Sewage Management and Gray Water The discharge of sewage (black water) is illegal and is prohibited. The discharge of gray water is currently under review by the State, but is discouraged. Pump-out facilities and port-a-potty discharge stations are located at the Fuel Dock. If you are a liveaboard, see those procedures (see this manual: Monthly Moorage: Liveaboard.) Shore-side restrooms and showers are available for your use and we encourage you to use them instead of on-board showers. All pet droppings must be removed and disposed of in the garbage dumpsters or sewage disposal, not in Marina waters. VIII Boat Repair Activity I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Painting, scraping and refinishing of boats, when in the water, is limited to minor touch ups. Minor repairs, as defined by the Washington Department of Ecology, is limited to the vessel's superstructure, deck and hull above the waterline and is 25% or less of the vessel's surface above the waterline. Extensive repair work and bottom cleaning must occur in a commercial, permitted, boatyard. Any minor painting, scraping, and refinishing must be contained and all debris collected so that no debris can enter the water. All paint mixing must be done with the can(s) placed inside secondary containment that will catch spillage. Paint cans used in the pier area shall be no larger than one-gallon in size. The Marina provides instructions on secondary containment. Boat repair or storage of equipment, supplies, etc. is not allowed on the dock. Locker boxes are provided at each slip. IX. Boat Hoist Following boat haul out, do not rinse the bottom of your boat in the marina. Please rinse your boat in a commercial, permitted boatyard where the rinse water is discharged to the sanitary sewage.

NMFS has designated the coho salmon (0. kisutch) as a candidate for listing. The U.S. 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 U.S. 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 November 15.2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-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. .~ The "project area" is where the proposed action will take place. 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-square mile, J-shaped tidal basin. The bay extends from the mouth of Ludlow Creek 3.5 miles to Admiralty Inlet. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTEC 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA The eastern approach to the bay is characterized by a submerged sill having an average depth of 24 feet 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 feet. From this point, the bottom of the basin slopes upward for a distance of 0.5 mile to a depth of 50 to 60 feet. From here, the depth of the bay remains fairly uniform between 50 and 60 feet throughout most of its length to within 0.5 mile of Ludlow Creek. The innermost 0.5 mile of the bay has an average depth of 16 feet MSL (Jefferson County 1993). 2.2 ACTION AREA The action area includes the project area and all the areas surrounding the proposed activity up to where effects related to the activity will no longer be felt (Corps 2001). Because pile driving will occur as part of the proposed activity, noise resulting from the pile driving may affect listed avian species as far as 1 mile from the project area (Corps 2001). Therefore the action area is defined as the area within a I-mile radius of the project area. 2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Port Ludlow Marina has 300 slips in its current configuration and can accommodate vessels up to 170 feet in length. Under the proposed marina expansion, 100 slips will be added, with slips varying in length from 35 to 60 feet. The proposed expansion will create an additional 33,745 square feet (sf) of overwater structure. Of this total, only 966 sf of new overwater structure will be located at water depths of less than 20 feet. The remaining 32,779 sf will be November 15, 2001 00OO7\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 3 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTEC located at water depths of 20 feet or greater. Ninety-five steel piles will be installed using a barge-mountedpile driver. Only one of the piles will be located in water of less than 20 feet. An existing kayak float within the marina will also be upgraded. Currently there are two floats, connected together, that are designated for all kayaks and cover approximately 1,600 sf (Appendix B, Photo 7). The proposed replacement kayak float will be 2,850 sf and 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 new float design will incorporate light-transmission panels. 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. Currently a 680-sf dinghy dock is located at C dock at the junction of the main walkway and the lateral. The dinghy dock completely covers this area and extends between the walkway and the first finger to the south. The proposed new dinghy dock will be 300 sf. The floats will be 6 feet wide and attach to the sides of the main walkway and the C-dock lateral, opening up a side space between the dinghy dock and the first finger (Figure 2). Pile-driving equipment will be barge-mounted and will be either a diesel-powered hammer or vibratory driver. Pile-driving equipment will be sized according to the geotechnical characteristics of the substrate. The barge will be sized to accommodate the equipment used during the pile driving. The one piling to be installed in shallow water (18 to 20 feet deep) will be shorter than those to be installed in deeper water, requiring less energy to install than the pilings in deeper water. Installing the one piling in shallow water will take less than 1 day, minimizing the time of potential disturbance of any salmon ids that may be present in the nearshore area. The remaining piles will be installed at water depths of greater than 34 feet. The barge will be maintained at sufficient depth to ensure that it will not ground. 2.4 PROJECT SCHEDULE It is anticipated that the work will begin in the late summer of 2002 and will require about 6 months to complete. To protect Puget Sound chinook salmon and Hood Canal summer-run chum salmon, in water work will not occur between March 1 and July 1, and no in water work will occur between February 16 and July 15 to protect bull trout (native char). November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTJ:C The nearest recorded bald eagle nesting area to the Port Ludlow Marina is located approximately 4,900 feet west of the marina (Guggenmos, L., Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [WDFW], pers. comm., 2000). Based on the proximity of a bald eagle nesting area, construction could possibly be restricted to a period outside of the nesting period of January 1 through August 15 (USFWS 1999a). Wintering bald eagles may occur within the action area, so that a no-construction window of October 31 through March 31 may potentially apply as well (USFWS 1999a). November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe J.doc:res page 6 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C 3.0 SPECIES AND HABITAT 3.1 SPECIES INFORMATION The action area has been defined as the area within a I-mile radius of the project area. 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., WDFW, pers. comm., 2000). The larger rivers within the Hood Canal basin with summer-run chum, chinook salmon, and/or coho salmon include the Skokomish, 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 chum salmon is the Quilcene River system, located roughly 38 miles 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 ofthis assessment the Qui1cene 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 Qui1cene River indicate that there is not a distinct bull trout/Dolly Varden (see Section 3.1.4.2) stock in the river (WDFW 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.

In the Quilcene River system, the Big Quilcene River is the only system containing sufficient flows during the late summer~arly fall spawning migration period to accommodate a sustained run of fall chinook. Occasionally a few chinook are observed spawning in the Little Quilcene 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 miles 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 Quilcene 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 8 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c assessment (WDFW and WWTIT 1994). As of 1992, the stock status of the Hood Canal chinook salmon stock was rated as healthy (WDFW and WWTIT 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 (II) 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, NMFS 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 ofthe waters within the project area are designated as critical habitat for chinook 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 Quilcene 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 (see 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 feet 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 mile 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 10 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I , Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-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 Canal-Qui1cene/Dabob 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). November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-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 (~ 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 chum 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 Quilcene 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 Quilcene, 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 12 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C 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 troutIDolly Varden (WDFW 1998a).

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. COmIn., 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 trout/Dolly 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. COmIn., March 22, 2000; USFWS 1999b). 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 mile of large bodies of water with adequate food supplies (Anthony et 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 14 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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. Time 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 II, bald eagle populations declined significantly, largely as a result of the use of organochlorine pesticides and loss of nesting habitat (USFWS 1999c). 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 1999c). 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 delisting was expected in July 2000; however, that decision is still pending. 3.1.5.3 Critical Habitat No critical habitat has been designated for bald eagles in Puget Sound.

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 km or more inland to nest, generally in older cornferous 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 miles 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). November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 16 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 Gays, 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).

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 November 15. 2001 00007\04O\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 17 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 18 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-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). 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.

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) or descriptive 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 in fauna 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 in the 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 November 15.2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe J.doc:res page 20 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 21 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTEC 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 base flows, 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 base flows (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, nor were mercury, selenium, and silver. Of those metals that were detected, November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 22 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTJ: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) (Yasey 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 feet) 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 Environmental (Pentec; 1997), Salo et al. (1980), and Ratte arid 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 manna 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 (Yasey Engineering 1995). Substrate available to organisms is modified by growth of green algae (Ulva 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 feet 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). An eelgrass survey conducted by Pentec on September 12, 2001, also found no eelgrass at suitable water depths. Existing I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C 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 below about MLLW. 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, Photos 1, 2, and 8). 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. Existing underwater slopes that will not be modified by the proposed action range from 13 to 22 percent. Underwater slopes in the area of the new docks rangefrom 16 percent at the new D dock to 1.5 to 3 percent along the entire length of the new outer docks. The beach is composed of quarry spall and small riprap (Appendix B, Photos 3 through 6, and Photo 9). At the seaward extent of the marina, the slope decreases, with depths at the outer margin of the marina between 35 and 40 feet. From this point, there is a gradual slope to the middle of Port Ludlow Bay where bottoms depths vary between 50 and 60 feet. Most of the marina expansion will occur along the outer margin of the marina in water depths of 35 to ;;:::40 feet. 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 23 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 24 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-C 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 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 Epiberithic 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 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. November 15,2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 25 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTEC 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, sub adult, 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 (Figure 4); 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. 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 macroalgae and eelgrass are both found on existing floats within the manna. VIva 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 (A triplex patula). An eelgrass survey was conducted by Pen tee on September 12, 2001 (Appendix C). The survey conformed to the WDFW's preliminary protocols for conducting macrophytes surveys. The survey was confined to the fuel-dock and D-dock areas. Areas under the proposed offshore docks were not surveyed, because the depth of the water at which these proposed docks will be placed was not expected to support eelgrass. November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 26 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C No eelgrass was found during the survey. Laminaria saccharina and Ulva lactuca were the only macrophytes reported during the survey; however, abundance of these species was reported to be low. 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. November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 27 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTC-c 4.0 EFFECTS OF THE ACTION 4.1 EFFECTS ANALYSIS 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 95 steel pilings will be installed as part of the manna 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 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 will likely 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 feet 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 feet. 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 mile 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 mile 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) November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 28 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 29 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 feet) 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 feet) 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. cornm., March 3, 2000). The nearest recorded bald eagle nesting area to the Port Ludlow Marina is located approximately 4,900 feet west ofthe 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). November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 30 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 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 feet, 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 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C of deep water in the Port Ludlow Marina will be increased by 33,745 slas 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 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. 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 32 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe J.doc:res page 33 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTEC 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 95 steel pilings in the project area at water depths of 18 to 40 feet 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 26.9 m2 for 95 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. Furthermore, adjacent benthic habitat will continue to provide ample loraging habitat lor juvenile salmonids that may occur in the project area. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C 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 deep (>35 feet) 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). Illumination 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 Prinslow 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 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 34 November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe_r.doc:res page 35 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C 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 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 sand lance. 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. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 36 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 the federal action subject to consultation (50 CFR 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 Interrelated and interdependent actions are those actions associated with the proposed action and either are part 01 a larger complete action or have no independent utility apart Irom the proposed action. The direct and indirect effects 01 the interrelated and interdependent actions are considered along with those 01 the proposed action. The interrelated and interdependent actions are considered an integral part 01 the proposed action, such that if not lor the proposed action, the interrelated and interdependent actions would not exist. The proposed expansion 01 the Port Ludlow Marina may include interrelated and interdependent actions to the extent that this project will likely result in increased boating activity in Port Ludlow Bay in the vicinity olthe marina. Expansion of the Port Ludlow Marina to 100 additional slips will 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 and Port Ludlow Bay. 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 feet), 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). November 15, 2001 00007\040\ptludlowmarinabe _r.doc:res page 37 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C Ecology and the U.S. 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 (i.e., 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 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. 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. Light-transmission panels will be used on the proposed replacement kayak float, which will allow light to penetrate beneath the float. Furthermore, construction activities will occur when juvenile salmonids are not likely to be present in the project area. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Port Ludlow Marina Expansion PENTr-C 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. The marina expansion will also include the purchase 01 two portable pump-outs lor use on C, D, E, and F docks. The availability 01 portable units will minimize the potential 01 discharging gray and/or black water into the bay. 4.4 DETERMINATION OF EFFECTS NMFS/USFWS 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 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 Salmonids 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 conclusion is 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.

Landino Washington State Habitat Branch Chief National Marine Fisheries Service Habitat Program/Olympia Field Office 510 Desmond Drive SE, Suite 103 Lacey, W A 98503 Request for Concurrence Endangered Species Act Listings Dear Mr. Landino: Pentec Environmental, Inc. (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/ habwebllistnwr.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 (0. 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 of the 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 speciesthat may occur in the vicinity of your project which are under the jurisdiction of the 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 wetlan4s 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. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Your interest in endangered species is appreciated. If you have additional questions regarding your responsibilities under the Act, please contact Yvonne Dettlaff (360) 753-9582 or Bobbi Barrera (360) 753-6048.

(T28N ROlE 816) FW8 REF: l-3-00-SP-0439 LISTED Bald eagle (Haliaeetus ZeucocephaZus) - There is one bald eagle nesting territory located in the vicinity of the projectatT28N ROlE S15. Nesting activities occur from January 1 through August 15. Wintering bald eagles may occur in the vicinity of the project. Wintering activities occur from October 31 through March 31. Bull trout (SaZvelinus confluentus) - may occur in ocean waters adjacent to the project. Major concerns that should be addressed in your biological assessment of the project impacts to listed species are: 1. Level of use of the project area by listed species. 2. Effect of the project on listed species' primary food stocks, prey species, and foraging areas in all areas influenced by the project. 3. Impacts from proj ect construction (Le., habitat loss, increased noise levels, increased human activity) which may result in disturbance to listed species and/or their avoidance of the project area. PROPOSED None. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I SPECIES OF CONCERN The following species of concern may occur in the vicinity of the project: Long-eared myotis (Myotis evotis) Long-legged myotis (Myotis voZans) Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentata) Peregrine falcon (FaZco peregrinus) River lamprey (Lam petra ayresi) I IATTACHMENTB FEDERAL AGENClES' RESPONSmILITIES UNDER SECTIONS 7(a) AND 7(c) I OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT OF 1973, AS AMENDED I SECTION 7(a) - Consultation/Conference I 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 ifits 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. Requires federal agencies or their desiguees to prepare a Biological Assessment (BA) for construction projects 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 m 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 publish~d 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) analyze alternative 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 project" 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. This includes federal action such as permits, grants, licenses, or other forms of federal authorization or approval which may result in construction.

BELCHER Commissioner of Public Lands Kari M Graves Pentec Environmental INe 120 Third Avenue South Suite 110 Edmonds W A 98020 SUBJECT: Port Ludlow Marina Expansion (T28N RlE 816) We've searched the Natural Heritage Information System for information on significant natural features in your project area. Currently, we have no records for rare plants or high quality ecosystems in the vicinity of your project. The information provided by the Washington Natural Heritage Program is based solely on existing information in the database. In the absence of field inventories, we cannot state whether or not a given site contains high quality ecosystems or rare species; there may be significant natural features in your study area of which we are not aware. The Washington Natural Heritage Program is responsible for information on the state's endangered, threatened, and sensitive plants as well as high quality ecosystems. We have begun to add information on selected groups of animals of conservation concern, such as freshwater mussels, butterflies and bats, to our database. We now make this information available in our reports along with information on rare plants and high quality ecosystems. The authority for protection of animal species in Washington rests with the Department ofFish and Wildlife which manages and interprets data on wildlife species of concern in the state. To ensure that you receive information on all animal species of concern, please contact Priority Habitats and Species, Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife, 600 Capitol Way N, Olympia, WA 98501-1091, or by phone (360) 902-2543.

To help evaluate potential impacts on subtidal habitat, permitting agencies require a survey of the project area. On September 12, 2001, as previously arranged with Reid Middleton, Pentec Environmental . (Pentec) conducted an eelgrassfmacroalgae habitat" survey at Port Ludlow Marina. The survey conformed to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife "preliminary" protocols. Parallel transects were surveyed and information recorded regarding the presence and quantity of eelgrass, the presence of macroalgae, and the nature of the substrate. Vertebrate and invertebrate species observed during the survey were noted. All transects were 20 feet apart, and obserVations were made every 20 feet along each.transect. The areas surveyed included that beneath the fuel dock and the subtidal area west of "0" dock where additional moorage is planned (Figure 2). The areas around the proposed offshore docks were not surveyed. These areas are located in water depths of -36 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) or greater. Eelgrass is known to exist in Puget Sound only at depths of less than -22 feet MLLW (Puget Sound Research '95 Proceedings Volume 2, PugetSound Water Quality Authority); therefore, no eelgrass would be expected to exist in those areas.' This depth is also greater than the maximum depth of -32 feet MLLW that macroalgae Was observed during the Pentec surveys of the fuel dock and "0" dock. FUEL DOCK The existing fuel dock area was surveyed along .three parallel transects (Figure 2). The central transect was positioned along the centerline of the dock. Transects were begun at approximately. +4 feet MLLW and extended beyond the end of the fuel dock. The transects were numbered G-1 through G-3, with G-1 along the west side of the dock.

Between there and the end of the dock the slope increased to 20 percent. The depth at the end of the fuel dock was approximately -27 feet MLLW. Horizontal visibility was 3 feet to a depth of -25 feet MLLW, where it dropped to less than 1 foot due to a 3-foot layer of suspended silt. The transects began on the sloping riprap bank that gave way to a silt bottom at approximately -2.5 feet MLLW. Shell debris was present on all transects. At times the substrate was notably more consolidated and described as soft mud. The only substantial debris noted was a submerged, horizontal pile positioned across the center transect 88 feet along the fuel dock. Barnacles (Balanus glandula), oysters (Crassostrea gigas), and a mottled star (Evasterias trosche/i1) were observed on the nearshore riprap. Macrofauna observed on the silt bottom include an unidenJified flatfish and a graceful crab (Cancer graci/is). Along the outer transects several plumose anemones (Metridium senile) were observed on small pieces of scattered debris. " Macroalgae were limited to isolated specimens of Laminaria saccharina between the dock and the bank, and one VIva /actuca plant 72 feet along the dock on the west transect. No eelgrass was observed. "0" DOCK The area west of "0" dock was surveyed along six parallel transects 180 feet long (Figure 2). The transects "were positioned parallel with the centerline of the dock. The survey took place between -18 and -34 feet MLLW. Horizontal visibility was 3 feet. Transects were numbered 0-1 through 0-6 starting with the inshore line. The depth along the end of the dock followed a 16 percent grade from -25 feet MLLW on the inshore end to about -35 feet MLLW halfway along the dock face (in line with the linear dock), then leveled off for the remaining three transects. Along the length of the transects, depths shallowed slightly (4 to S percent slope), and the outer two lines were nearly level. The substrate was very soft silt at depths greater"than ~25 feet MLLW. At shallower depths, coarser sandy silt to silty sand was observed. Th"e sediment contained shell debris along 0-1, 0-2, and 0-3. . Animal life was not abundant along the transects. Thr'ee rock crabs (Cancer productus), four mottled stars (E,,'asterias troschelil), and a striped sun star (Solaster stimpsom) were observed in areas where macroalgae was present. A plumose anemone was seen along Transect D-S on a Ie I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Reid Middleton, Inc. October 24,2001 12007-48 Page 3 piece of debris. Along Transect 0-2, two 0.5-inch-diameter holes indicative of ghost shrimp were observed in the soft silt near the dock; two horse clams (Tresus sp.) were seen in the silty sand near the end of the transect. Laminaria was observed on all but the last transect. Occurrence was low (fewer than 20 plants total), and typically only one or two plants were present at any observation point. One VIva plant was observed at the end of Transect 0-2. There was no eelgrass. SUMMARY The substrate in the study area is predominantly a soft, fine silt, with some areas of silty sand to sandy silt. Shell debris is common, and human-d~posited debris is minimal. Fauna were sparse but typical for the environment. The low light levels and predominance of soft, fine sediment support .small quantities of Laminaria and VIva, but no eelgrass. Macrovegetation was observed to a depth of -32 feet MLLW.

Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District LOCATION Port Ludlow Marina is located in Port Ludlow Bay, Jefferson County, Washington (Township 28 North, Range 01 East, Section 16) (see Figures 1 and 2 in biological evaluation [BE] report.) PROJECT NAME Port Ludlow Marina Expansion project ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT BACKGROUND The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-267), requires federal agencies to consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on activities that may adversely affect Essential Fish Habitat (EFH). EFH is defined as those waters and substrates necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity. "Waters" include aquatic areas-and their associated physical, chemical, and biological properties-that are used by fish, and may include aquatic areas historically used by fish, where appropriate. "Substrates" include sediment, hard bottom, structures underlying the waters, and associated biological communities (NMFS 1999). The MSA requires consultation for all actions that may adversely affect EFH, and does not distinguish between actions within EFH and actions outside EFH. Any reasonable attempt to encourage the conservation of EFH must take into account actions that occur outside of EFH, such as upstream and upslope activities that may have an adverse effect on EFH. Therefore, EFH consultation with NMFS is required by Federal agencies undertaking, permitting, or funding activities that may adversely affect EFH, regardless of its location. The objective of this EFH assessment is to determine whether or not the proposed action "may adversely affect" designated EFH for relevant federally managed commercial fisheries species within the proposed action area. It also Pentec Environmental 12007-040 November 15, 2001 Port Ludlow Marina EFH Page 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I describes conservation measures proposed to avoid, minimize, or otherwise offset potential adverse effects to designated EFH resulting from the proposed action. IDENTIFICATION OF EFH The Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) has designated EFH for federally-managed fisheries within the waters of Washington, Oregon, and California. The designated EFH for groundfish (PFMC 1998a; Casillas et al. 1998), and coastal pelagic species (PFMC 1998b) encompasses all waters from the mean high water line, and upriver extent of saltwater to the boundary of the U.S. exclusive economic zones (370.4 km) (PFMC 1998a, 1998b). Freshwater EFH for Pacific salmon includes all those streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and other water bodies currently or historically accessible to salmon in Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho, except areas upstream or certain impassable man-made barriers (as identified by the PFMC), and longstanding, naturally-impassable barriers (i.e., natural waterfalls in existence for several hundred years (pFMC 1999). In estuarine and marine areas, designated salmon EFH extends from the nearshore and tidal submerged environments within state territorial waters to the full extent of the exclusive economic zone (370.4 km) . offshore of Washington, Oregon, and California north of Point Conception to the Canadian Border (PFMC 1999). Groundfish, coastal pelagic, and salmonid fish species that have designated EFH in Puget Sound are listed in Table EFH 1. Some or all of these species may occur in the project area. Refer to the relevant EFH designations (Casillas et al. 1998; PFMC 1998a, 1998b, 1999) for life history stages of these species that may occur in the project vicinity. Assessment of the impacts to these species' EFH from the proposed project is based on this information. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Port Ludlow Marina has 300 slips in its current configuration and can accommodate vessels up to 1 70 feet in length. Under the proposed marina expansion, 100 slips will be added, with slips varying in length from 35 to 60 feet. Please refer Section 2.3 (Project Description) of the BE report for a detailed description of the proposed action. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS OF PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed action may have both short- and long-term effects on EFH for groundfish, coastal pelagic, and salmonid species by temporarily altering Pentec Environmental 12007-040 November 15, 2001 Port Ludlow Marina EFH Page 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I intertidal and subtidal habitat through construction activities (e.g., pile driving). Pile driving has the potential to adversely affect EFH by creating temporary increases in turbidity and a temporary decrease in dissolved oxygen concentration. Pile placement would also eliminate benthic and epibenthic habitat within the footprint of each pile. However, piles would also provide additional surface area for colonization by marine algae and invertebrates, providing additional habitat for juvenile fish and other invertebrates. Furthermore, the benthic habitat destroyed by the pilings is small in comparison to adjacent benthic habitat that will continue to function as forage area for groundfish, coastal pelagic, and salmonid species. Therefore, any adverse impacts to EFH due to piling driving are expected to be only temporary and insignificant. The proposed action will produce an additional 33,745 square feet (sf) of overwater structure, which will, in turn, result in increased shading of intertidal and subtidal habitats beneath the structures. 32,779 sf, or 97 percent, of the proposed overwater structure will occur in areas with water depths greater than 20 feet. Under existing conditions, the project area does not provide substantial habitat for aquatic vegetation. 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 additional surface area for colonization by aquatic vegetation and invertebrates. Simenstad et al. (1999) synthesized existing information on the potential impacts of overwater structures on juvenile salmon migrating along Puget Sound shorelines. In the study, the authors addressed three issues regarding the potential impacts of overwater structures on juvenile salmon: (1) alteration in migratory behavior, (2) reduction in prey production and availability, and (3) increased predation. Their 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 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, Pentec Environmental 12007-040 November 15, 2001 Port Ludlow Marina EFH Page 3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I quantitative evidence for significant increases in predation on salmon associated with docks is lacking.

(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 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 1 0-4 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 salmon's 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. The Washington State Department of Fisheries ([WDF] now WDFW) 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 rich 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 (Cardwell et al. 1980). 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 Pentec Environmental 12007-040 November 15, 2001 Port Ludlow Marina EFH Page 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I most abundant in the marina (Cardwell et al. 1980). This study suggests that the principal prey of chinook salmon, a listed species, and coho salmon, a candidate species, were not adversely affected by the marina. Based on this study, it is unlikely that the proposed action would affect zooplankton in such a way to have any significant effects on EFH for either of these species. Illumination of the existing Port Ludlow Marina, as well as the proposed expansion, 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 1993) and Prinslow et al. (1979, as cited in Parametrix 1993) studied the effects of artificial lighting along the edges of a pier apron on Hood Canal. However, these studies 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 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 sand lance. 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 1993) 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. Growndfish, coastal pelagic, and salmonid species, particularly juveniles, may occur in the project area or immediately offshore at any time of the year. However, direct adverse effects to chinook and coho salmon are not expected, because inwater construction activities would be timed to avoid periods when large numbers of juvenile salmon are expected to be present. The project actions described above have the potential to adversely affect the EFH of managed species, but these effects are expected to be very localized, temporary, and not to reduce the overall value of the EFH to these managed species. CONSERVATION MEASURES No significant or measurable effects are predicted to EFH from the proposed action. However, a number of conservation measures have been incorporated into the marina expansion project. Construction will be confined to periods Pentec Environmental 12007-040 November 15, 2001 Port Ludlow Marina EFH Page 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I when listed and candidate species are not likely to occur in the action area, thereby minimizing or preventing potential adverse impacts to these species. 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. Additionally, light transmission panels will be installed on the proposed replacement kayak float, which will allow light to penetrate to the substrate beneath the float. Additional conservation measures that are currently in place at the marina and that will continue following completion of the marina expansion project are those implemented to prevent degradation of water quality. The marina rules and regulations are issued to each boater that comes into contact with the main office when paying for moorage or signing up for long term moorage. These rules and regulations clearly articulate what is allowed and not allowed in the marina. The marina practices best management practices. 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. CONCLUSION As described above, the proposed action may result in localized, temporary, and insignificant impacts to designated EFH for groundfish, coastal pelagic, and salmon ids. However, we anticipate that implementation of the above-listed conservation measures and other considerations outlined previously will avoid, minimize, or otherwise offset potential adverse effects to EFH related to the proposed action.

The purpose of the monitoring program is to provide a cumulative summary of traffic volumes in the area and an assessment of current operating conditions at critical intersections in the area. The year 2001 is the eighth year that data has been collected for this program. A key comment in the Port Ludlow Development Program Final Environmental Impact Statement came from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) which stated their concern about traffic during July and August, particularly on the weekends. Thus, the 1994 through 2001 monitoring programs have focused on weekend counts by conducting the machine counts on a Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in August. (Jefferson County has weekday data available, which is collected yearly.) This information will provide a comparison between weekday and weekend traffic and the impacts that Port Ludlow development has on these volumes. Weekday PM peak hour turning movement counts were conducted again at the same five intersections that were counted in the prior years, and will be compared to counts previously conducted in the area. No turning movement counts were conducted on the weekend, however, the intersection approach volumes from the mechanical counters have been used to estimate weekend peak hour turning movement counts that can be compared to the weekday peak hours. The remainder of this report summarizes the data collected for the year 2001. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I TRAFFIC VOLUMES Traffic counters were placed at 18 locations within the Port Ludlow area and accumulated data for Saturday August 4th through Monday August 6th. Five of these counters are used in determining residential trip generation. The remaining 13 counters were placed at key intersections and include the following locations (these locations are the same as those used in 1994 through 2000): Intersection - SR-104/Paradise Bay Road Leg Counted West, North - SR-104/Beaver Valley Road West, East, North - Beaver Valley Road/Oak Bay Road North - Oak Bay Road/Paradise Bay Road East, West, South - Oak Bay Road/Marine View Drive East - Paradise Bay Road/Teal Lake Road East, West, South A summary of the data is provided in the table on the following page. 2 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I TABLE 1 2001 PORT LUDLOW TRAFFIC VOLUME SUMMARY LOCATION SR-I04/ Par.

Sunday volumes were all lower than Saturday or Monday at all of the remaining locations. However, the results of the remainder of the counts on the County arterials and on Beaver. Valley Road (SR-~xed' i.e., along some of the '1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I roadways higher daily volumes were recorded on Saturday than on Monday and vice versa. Higher volumes on the weekend on the County arterials were also noted in the 1998 through 2000 programs, although overall the weekend volumes still have a tendency to be lower on the weekend than on the weekday. Prior to 1998 the County arterials almost always had higher weekday volumes than weekend volumes, and the State highways had higher weekend volumes. The difference between the weekend and weekday volumes on the County arterials is still relatively small. The higher weekend highway volumes have been attributed, in the past, to travelers heading to the Port Angeles and Port Townsend areas for summertime recreation. This still appears to be a reasonable conclusion. The higher traffic volumes on the County arterials on a weekday have been attributed to coinciding with the presence of commuter traffic. Figure 1 summarizes the data shown in the previous table. The 2001 traffic volume patterns again represent the impact of recreational traffic on weekends during the summer months. However, as noted in the previous monitoring summaries, Port Ludlow traffic does not appear to be significantly contributing to these higher volumes. The County arterials serving Port Ludlow experience relatively low volumes when compared to the state highways. Overall, the 24-hour traffic volumes recorded in 2001 are higher than those recorded in 1994, although a few locations are still below the volumes recorded seven years ago, particularly the Sunday volumes. At the locations counted, the rate of growth ranged from approximately -3.5% to 4.3% per year, with most locations falling into the 1 % range. Table 2 summarizes the net change in volumes between 1994 and 2001.

A comparison of these volumes with those collected in 1994 showed a range from a 7% to 21 % increase at the intersections (1.0% to 2.8% annually). Figure 3 shows estimates of the weekend peak hour volumes at these same intersections. The 2001 estimated I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I weekend peak hour volumes differed from the 1994 weekend peak hour volumes by a rangeof-8% to +17% (approximately-1.1% to +2.3% annually). LEVEL OF SERVICE Level of service calculations were conducted at the five intersections in and around Port Ludlow where PM peak hour traffic counts were collected. The results of these analyses are shown in the table on the next two pages, along with the levels of service that were calculated in 1992 as part of the programmatic EIS, and the level of service results from the 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 monitoring programs. The level of service calculations were modified in 1996 to reflect newer methodologies used in computing capacity, where level of service is reported in terms of seconds of delay rather than reserve capacity. The converted values for 1992, 1994 and 1995, along with the 1996 through 2001 values, are shown in Table 3.

The 2001 overall level of service at the intersection of SR-104/Paradise Bay Road was back up to "A" having been at "C" or better for all the years except 1997 when it fell into the "P" range. The level of service for the southbound movement at this intersection was again at "F" after rising to "E" in 1998. This movement has ranged from "C" to "P" in prior years. The overall intersection level of service at the intersection of SR~ 104/Beaver Valley Road was again at "B" in 2001, which is similar to previous years with the exception of 1996 when an overall level of service "D" was calculated. Both of the intersections along SR- 104 are showing increased overall intersection delay due to increased demand for the southbound left-turn movements and higher through volumes on SR-104. Level of service calculations were also conducted for these same intersections for the weekend peak hour using the estimated turning movement volumes that are based on the approach volumes from the mechanical counters. The weekend peak hours for the two intersections along SR-104 (at Paradise Bay Road and Beaver Valley Road) and at Oak Bay Road/Beaver Valley Road occurred on Sunday, whereas the weekend peak hour at the intersections of Oak Bay Road/Paradise Bay Road and Teal Lake Road/Paradise Bay Road occurred late Saturday morning.

The comparison of the 2001 weekend data with the weekday data was similar to most of the prior years when both the intersections of Paradise Bay Road/SR-104 and Beaver Valley Road/SR-104 operated at a worse condition on the weekend as compared to the weekday. The only exception to this pattern was in the year 2000 when there was a better weekend level of service at the SR-104/Paradise Bay Road intersection than weekday level of service. The intersections in, or closer to, Port Ludlow continued to again operate much the same on the weekend as on a weekday, i.e., at a good level of service and have changed little since the monitoring program began. 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I TRIP GENERATION Mechanical traffic counters used in calculating the trip generation for the residential units within Port Ludlow were again set at one of the locations used since 1994 (Windrose Drive), at three locations used since 1996 Gust north of Swansonville Road at Pioneer Drive East and West, and Fleet Drive), and at a location first used in 1998, Sea Vista Place. These locations are shown on Figure 4. Only those areas that can be completely cordoned off are used to gather this data. The Sea Vista Place location replaces counts formerly conducted on South Keel Way since it was able to provide a sample size of over twice the number of residences. The number of units used in the sample size is based on occupied units at the time of the counts. Utility records were again used to determine the number of occupied units. Table 5 summarizes the trip generation for the weekend and Monday. The average of the daily rates for Sunday and Monday were lower in 2001 than in any of the previous years of the program. The daily average rate for Saturday was roughly the mean for the prior seven years. The daily rates for 2001 at location 1 (Windrose Drive) were the lowest rates recorded in the eight year program. As noted at the bottom of Table 5, the peak hour rates are for the peak hour of the generator, which typically occurred in the late morning or in the afternoon. Overall, the trip rates for 2001 were the lowest, or close to the lowest, ever recorded for the monitoring program. As in previous years, the rates were the lowest for the largest sample, with the exception of Saturday when the largest sample had the highest rate. A review of the field data indicated some type of peaking at this location during the late morning thatmay have been associated with a summer party or reception. Rates, in general, appear to be lower in 2001. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I TABLE 5 2001 TRIP GENERATION FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS PORT LUDLOW LOCA TION 1 2 3 AVERAGE NO.

The following items were noted. · The traffic counts that were conducted this year (2001) continue to show higher volumes along SR-104 on the weekend as compared to a weekday. · The County arterials in and around Port Ludlow showed a mix of some higher traffic volumes on the weekdays than on the weekend, and vice versa. This is somewhat contrary to prior years, but the differences are fairly minor and not of a magnitude that would affect the level of service of the roadways. · The peak hour volumes indicate that the southbound movement at SR-104/Paradise Bay Road was again operating at level of service "F" on both a weekday and weekend (during the summer months). · The level of service results indicate that the southbound movement at SR-I04/Beaver Valley Road in 2001 rose to level of service "D" on the weekday but dropped to level of service "E" for the weekend peak hour. · All other roadway segments and intersections are functioning within reasonable capacity limits. Specifically, the roads and intersections within Port Ludlow continue to operate at good levels of service on both the weekdays and weekends. The 2001 monitoring program continues to support previous conclusions that indicate that development activity and growth in Port Ludlow are not creating level of service problems within Port Ludlow, with relatively little change since 1994. The level of service problems that are occurring are along SR-104, which is heavily influenced by tourist and commuter traffic and is of a regional nature. Due to the consistent nature of the findings over the past seven years, it is recommended that the traffic monitoring program be scaled back to a less frequent interval such as every other year or every third year. 1.1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 6826 (5968) [6677] 12256 (12335) [9675] xxx (XXX) [XXX] - SATURDAY 24-HOUR VOLUME - SUNDAY 24-HOUR VOLUME - MONDAY 24-HOUR VOLUME 1289 (1107) [1157] 3311 (2817) [3734 ] ,,-- I --------_ I .....,.... \ ',------- \ \ \ HOOD CANAL BRIDGE 19114 (18386) [16397] 2001 DAILY TRAFFIC VOLUMES FIGURE 1 DAVID I.
