Dear Ms. Nightingale:
Covered hereby are materials on Ludlow Cove II provided by Richard Brocksmith of the Hood Canal
Coordinating Council. They relate to SMA, SEPA, ICAO, and construction issues affecting the use of Ludlow
Cove II as a Trend West cite and the effect it could have on the estuary to Ludlow Creek. They update and
are not consistent with similar information provided by the applicant. They should be considered before
issuing an SSDP, approving DCD's threshold decision to use the MDNS from SUB05-00004 to comply with
SEPA for MLA06-00221, and the approval of Proposed Amendment No.1 to the Development Agreement.
ask that these materials be included in the log for MLA06-00221.
Thank you,

Habitat Complex: Ludlow Creek
Complex Type: Stream-delta
Physical Description
The 1855 T sheet shows a narrow creek mouth with tide flat entering the west end of
Ludlow Bay (See Figure 14 in the North Ludlow Spit habitat complex narrative above),
A long footbridge or boardwalk appeared at the mouth of the creek. Tidal marsh was
apparently absent at the time of the early surveys. The July 1859 GLO survey notes
Ludlow Creek as 30 links (20 feet) wide at its mouth (Trutch 1859).

Note: the apparent north/south offset in tidal flat habitats as a result of an imperfect
georectification of historic and contemporary data layers.
Description of Historical Habitat Changes
A roadbed crosses the mouth of the creek today and has resulted in the filling over of
historical tide flat. However, a limited amount of tidal marsh has developed at the creek
mouth immediately upstream of the roadbed, apparently within the past 50 years (Figure
19). A 1957 air photo of the creek mouth does not seem to indicate marsh upstream of
the road crossing where marsh occurs today (Figure 18). It is speculated that the position
of the road crossing and fill has resulted in accretion of stream and possibly tidally-
transported sediments immediately upstream of the road, and allowed for the growth of
marsh and scrub-shrub vegetation over the past several decades.

Figure 18. 1957 air photo of the Ludlow Creek (far left) and South Ludlow Lagoon
(lower right) habitat complexes. Notice the apparent lack of tidal marsh vegetation
immediately upstream of the road crossing at the mouth of Ludlow Creek, where
marsh, scrub/shrub, and upland vegetation has since developed (see Figure 19
below). The black arrow points to a pier near the base of the spit at the Ludlow
Lagoon habitat complex (see Ludlow Lagoon narrative below).
i;l
/
Along the shoreline to the northeast of Ludlow Creek, a log storage yard and loading area
was active for many decades (apparently well into the 1990s)(Figure 20). The site today
appears abandoned and future plans for restoration of the site are unknown.

Relative Condition
Recognizing some loss of tidal flat and reduction in tidal exchange of sediments at the
creek mouth because of a roadbed, we consider the Relative Condition of this complex
"Moderately Impaired".

Port Ludlow area. ~ats Mats Bav to Termination Point. Fimlre 7
Observations: The reach directly north of Ludlow Bay was newly identified as summer
surf smelt spawning grounds by repeated sampling by a local shoreline landowner and
volunteer. This reach is characterized by medium gravel on a sand base and interspersed
cobbles. Shoreline vegetation overhangs much of the shoreline in this area creating full
shade most of the day except during the early morning. WDFW IBSBSP did not conduct
summer sampling in this reach (penttila, 1999). Surf smelt spawn was also detected in
this reach during the winter months by WDFW and NOSC surveys.
The north side of Hood Head also revealed one site utilized in the summer by surf smelt.
This beach is a pea graveVsand beach. It is about 75% shaded by shoreline vegetation.
This is a new site for any surf smelt documentation.
3 positive samples of special interest were found on Ludlow Bay's north shore near the
marina. Samples in two different winters revealed surf smelt and sand lance utilizing a
small section of beach characterized by patches of loose pea gravel and coarse sand on a
compacted pebble/clay base. The marine plant Salicornia europeae is interspersed at
spawning tidal elevations and creates a border along the areas OHW line.
Nose Positive Samples: surfsmelt-Dec 01, Jan 02, Sept 02, Nov 02, Jul 03, Aug 03,
Sept 03, Nov 03; sand lance-Dec 01, Jan 02, Nov 02, Nov 03
Future Study Recommendations: Additional summer sampling in this reach may locate
more summer spawning grounds.
RestorationlProteetion action: Port Ludlow marina expansion may adversely affect
forage fish sites on Ludlow Bays north shore. Bulkhead education and possible removal
demonstrations by willing landowners is recommended. Protect and improve water
quality that is currently degraded by excess nutrient loads in Ludlow Bay and mining
activities near Mats Mats Bay (Shaffer, 2002).
