Crescent Environmental PLLC 1 Vegetation Management and Habitat Mitigation Plan for Parcel 962700097, Jefferson County, Washington. David S. Parks M.S. Principal Geologist/Wetland Scientist L.G., L.E.G., L.H.G., #533/ PWS#1623 Crescent Environmental PLLC 424 East First Street, Box 429 Port Angeles WA 98362 360-640-3187 Email: crescentenvironmental@gmail.com March 27, 2023 March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 2 Tim, At your request and consistent with our agreed scope-of-work dated 8/8/2022, this document presents a vegetation management and habitat mitigation plan for your parcel # 962700097 located in Jefferson County, Washington (Figure 1). This vegetation and habitat mitigation plan is prepared because Jefferson County is requiring a new building permit after the previously approved permit lapsed. The subject parcel (962700097) is located directly adjacent to Oak Bay, a Shoreline of Statewide Significance near Irondale, Jefferson County, Washington (Figure 1). The subject parcel was originally platted in 1910 as part of the Irondale Acre Tracts according to documents recorded with the Jefferson County assessor (Vol. 2, Page 145). The eastern half of the property was cleared for residential use some time prior to 1951 (Figure 6 & 7). This home burned in 1989-1990 (Figure 8-17). And since that time the property has been unoccupied. The eastern half of the parcel is largely flat except of the easterly 40 feet of upland which slopes at an average of 25-30% to the marine shoreline ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Oak Bay. The flat area has become predominantly overgrown with a dense thicket of Himalayan blackberry (invasive) and Nootka rose, together with scattered small willows, alder and three conifers. The slope to the lagoon is treeless and contains significant Himalayan blackberry. Halfway down the slope a large steel cage (gabion) of unknown provenance is situated and largely overgrown with brush. Along the marine shoreline there is an old tire revetment that extends from the north to south property lines. The parcel is approximately 0.98 acres in area. The address of the parcel is 102 Cleveland Avenue, Port Hadlock, Washington, 98339. Crescent Environmental PLLC previously prepared both a Wetland Delineation and Geotechnical Assessment for the subject parcel in 2022 (Crescent Environmental PLLC, 2022). Site Characteristics The subject parcel is situated on a gently to moderately sloping terraced outwash and till hillslope bordering Oak Bay to the east. The elevation of the subject parcel ranges from approximately 6.6 feet above mean sea level (m.s.l.) on the east side to approximately 50 feet on the west side based on LiDAR bare earth elevation data using the National Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) (Figure 2). Precipitation is seasonally variable, characterized by wet mild winters and relatively dry, cool, summers. Annual average precipitation (1981-2010) is approximately 22 inches primarily occurring as rainfall. March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 3 Native upland vegetation on the parcel is a mixed second-growth conifer-dominated forest composed of Douglas fir, Madrone, and Red alder. The understory vegetation is dominated by plant species such as Sword fern, Salal, Snowberry, Red alder, Salmonberry and Himalayan blackberry. Marine Shoreline of Oak Bay The shoreline of Oak Bay is a Shoreline of Statewide Significance and a Type S water. The tidal lagoon adjacent to the subject parcel is classified as an “Estuarine and Deepwater Marine Wetland” by the National Wetlands Inventory (Figure 5). Jefferson County has determined that the marine shoreline adjacent to the subject parcel contains a number of Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas associated with the marine water and shoreline of Oak Bay. Jefferson County has designated the following habitats as Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (FWHCAs): (A) Areas with which endangered, threatened, and sensitive species listed by the federal or state government have a primary association. (i) Federally designated and threatened species are those fish and wildlife species identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service that are in danger of extinction or threatened to become endangered. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Services should be consulted for current listing status. (B) Rivers and streams not otherwise protected under Washington State Forest Practices regulations that have FWHCAs are protected according to stream type. (C) Lands covered under the Forest Practices Act. Forested areas in Jefferson County provide protection as FWHCAs under the Forest Practices Act and forest practices regulations. (D) Commercial and recreational shellfish areas, including designated shellfish habitat conservation areas. (E) Kelp and eelgrass beds (F) Surf smelt, Pacific Herring, and Pacific sand lance spawning areas. (G) Natural area preserves and natural resource conservation areas. (H) All areas designated by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) through the Washington Natural Heritage Program as high quality wetland ecosystems and high quality terrestrial ecosystems. (I) Species and habitats of local importance established pursuant to the process demonstrated in JCC 18.22.210. Oak Bay and the adjacent shoreline would appear best defined as Jefferson County Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas and subject to the provisions of Jefferson County Code Chapter 18. March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 4 Federally and State Listed Species-Primary Association Oak Bay and the adjacent shoreline provide critical habitats for a variety of species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, or the State of Washington as endangered, threatened, or sensitive. These species include Puget Sound Chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead trout, native char/ bull trout, Hood Canal summer run chum salmon, Pacific herring, pileated woodpecker, Western grebe, a variety of rockfish, bald eagle, great blue heron, green backed heron, horned grebe, Stellers sea lion, marbled murrelet, loggerhead sea turtle, Orca, and leatherback sea turtle. Commercial, Tribal and Recreational Shellfish Areas The intertidal and subtidal areas of Oak Bay are documented to provide viable and well utilized commercial, Tribal and recreational shellfish areas. Forage Fish Spawning Areas As documented by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and local Tribes the intertidal and subtidal areas of Oak Bay adjacent to the project site provide spawning areas for surf smelt, Pacific sand lance, and Pacific herring. Species and Habitats of Local Importance As documented and observed, Oak Bay and the adjacent shoreline provides a variety of habitats for Priority Species as listed within the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife databases. In addition, three (3) listed Priority Habitats are also present within this area: The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife have identified the following priority species within Oak Bay and the adjacent shoreline: Dungeness Crab, Pandalid Shrimp, Pacific Herring, Native char/bull trout, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Cutthroat Trout, Coho Salmon, Steelhead Trout, Pacific Cod, Pacific Whiting, Walleye Pollock, Ling Cod, 13 species of rockfish, Pacific Sand Lance, English Sole, Rock Sole, Western grebe, Marbled murrelet, Great Blue Heron, Harlequin duck, Brant, Cavity nesting ducks, Pileated woodpecker, Bald Eagle, Band Tailed Pigeon. In additions, three priority habitats have been identified by the WDFW for the marine waters of Oak Bay and adjacent shoreline: Waterfowl concentrations Puget Sound nearshore habitats Forage fish spawning areas March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 5 Jefferson County Critical Areas Buffers Jefferson County requires that protective buffers be established as measured perpendicular from all Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas. Such required buffers shall be established to protect the integrity, functions and values of the resource. The County may also require a building setback distance of 10-feet for the placement of structural improvements adjacent to the outer boundary of the established buffer. The buffer is to be retained in its natural condition except for minor pruning for views and access as long as the function and character of the buffer is not adversely impacted. Additional project elements may also be required such as lighting be directed away from the FWCA. The Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area (FWHCA) and wetland buffer required by Jefferson County Code is 150 feet. The buffer proposed for this parcel is 76 feet as shown on Figure 21. This represents a 49% reduction from the standard buffer. Because a 49% reduction in the standard buffer is being proposed, mitigation for this reduction is also being proposed. Mitigation Plan In order to allow for the establishment of a single family residence 76.5 horizontal feet from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OWHM) on the Type S water (Oak Bay) adjacent to the parcel, as previously approved by Jefferson County in 2011, I recommend implementation of a mitigation plan for this parcel to restore the functions and values of the marine shoreline and riparian zone. Contents of the Mitigation Plan include: 1. Establishment of a 76.5-foot horizontal buffer from the Ordinary High Water Mark on Oak Bay. This is a 49% reduction from the standard buffer. This buffer reduction is permissible subject to appropriate mitigation pursuant to JCC 18.25.060(1)(b). JCC 18.25.270 (4)(j) provides a shoreline variance is not required to decrease the standard buffer of 150’ if the criteria of JCC 18.22.640 are met. Those criteria are met here. (1) The reduction will not adversely affect the adjacent FWHCA; (2) slopes within the area are stable and gradient does not exceed 30%. The provisions of JCC 18.22.660 apply. That provision requires mitigation for buffer reductions greater than 25% but less than 50%. Mitigation methods include: “rectifying adverse impact by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the affected environment to historical condition” (JCC18.22.660(2) (c); compensating for adverse impacts by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments (JCC 18.22.660(2)(e); monitoring and correcting JCC 18.22.660(2)(f). March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 6 JCC 18.22.660(3)(a)(i) provides unavoidable impacts (house, driveway etc.) require mitigation at least at a 1:1 ratio. Subsection (ii) provides that unavoidable impacts to the FWHCA shall require mitigation that “fully compensates” for all adverse effects to FWHCA functions, natural processes and area. It is the intent of this plan to provide mitigation for the disturbance of the house site itself (+/-2000 sq. ft.) and the adjoining driveway and driveway aprons within the standard 150-foot buffer (+/-1000 sq. ft.). which substantially exceeds the 1:1 code requirement for mitigation area. As will be demonstrated here, the mitigation ratio within the regulatory buffer itself and the adjoining shoreline area exceeds 2.5: 1, (more than double the code mitigation area requirement). In addition, the owners have proposed to revegetate an additional area west of the 150’ line with the use of native trees, plants and meadow grasses and establish a recorded conservation easement on the westerly 250 feet of the property to its’ abutment with Cleveland Street. Taken together the total area to be conserved, rehabilitated, enhanced and replanted on the subject property will exceed the impacted area by a ratio in excess of 9:1. 2. Mitigation will include: a. Area A: Removal of a shoreline revetment composed of car tires located on the intertidal shoreline of Oak Bay on the east side of the parcel. (The parcel extends into the lagoon itself approximately 70’ beyond the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has issued a hydraulic permit for removing the tire revetment. The area to be rehabilitated is approximately 10’ x78’ or 780 square feet of tideland. b. Area B: Planting native vegetation within the shoreline buffer to re-establish a riparian zone along the Type S water. Plantings will be composed of native conifer and hardwood tree species on a 12’ x 12’ spacing between the OHWM and the top of the slope above the shoreline. These plantings will be protected from animal browse with a physical barrier. These trees will be monitored for survival for five years. The area to be enhanced and replanted will be approximately 78’ wide and extend landward (west) 60’ from ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Total area 4680 square feet. March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 7 c. Area C: Wildlife corridors. buffer strips of Nootka Rose and other native plants along the north and south sides of the property for the remaining 90’ of the 150’ regulatory shoreline buffer 12’ wide on each side (2160 square feet). d. Area D: The area west of the 150’ regulatory buffer line to the east line of the conservation easement (excluding the driveway 20’ x 90’ = 1800 square feet) and excluding approximately 3,000 square feet to be devoted to vegetable gardens, fruit gardens and pathways. This area will be replanted with native plant and tree species, wildflowers, and meadow grass. Totals are (90’x75’)=6750- 4,800 square feet= 1950 square feet. e. Area E: Conservation easement plan for this area will be governed by the terms of the conservation easement. Total area 250’ x 75’ =18,750. f. In addition to the above elements, all the required measures to minimize impacts to wetlands found in JCC 18.22.730(1)(b) will be implemented on the site: Table 18.22.730(1)(b). Required Measures to Minimize Impacts to Wetlands (All measures are required if applicable to a specific proposal) Disturbance Required Measures to Minimize Impacts Lights • Direct lights away from wetland Noise • Locate activity that generates noise away from wetland • If warranted, enhance existing buffer with native vegetation plantings adjacent to noise source • For activities that generate relatively continuous, potentially disruptive noise, such as certain heavy industry or mining, establish an additional 10 feet heavily vegetated buffer strip immediately adjacent to the outer wetland buffer Toxic runoff • Route all new, untreated runoff away from wetland while ensuring wetland is not dewatered • Establish covenants limiting use of pesticides within 150 feet of wetland • Apply integrated pest management Stormwater runoff • Retrofit storm water detention and treatment for roads and existing adjacent development • Prevent channelized flow from lawns that directly enters the buffer March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 8 Table 18.22.730(1)(b). Required Measures to Minimize Impacts to Wetlands (All measures are required if applicable to a specific proposal) Disturbance Required Measures to Minimize Impacts • Use low intensity development techniques (for more information refer to the drainage ordinance and manual) Change in water regime • Infiltrate or treat, detain, and disperse into buffer new runoff from impervious surfaces and new lawns Pets and human disturbance • Use privacy fencing or plant dense vegetation to delineate buffer edge and to discourage disturbance using vegetation appropriate for the ecoregion • Place wetland and its buffer in a separate tract or protect with a conservation easement Dust • Use best management practices to control dust The mitigation actions once implemented will restore the functions and values of the adjacent estuarine wetland by eliminating the tire revetment within Oak Bay and by re-establishing a native vegetation riparian zone within the shoreline buffer and surrounding the proposed residence. It is recommended that the removal of the shoreline revetment occur first, followed by implementation of the vegetation management and planting plan. No direct impacts to the adjacent estuarine wetland will occur and the proposed mitigation will increase the density and structural diversity of native vegetation within the 76.5-foot shoreline buffer over the current condition which would remain the same if a standard buffer was implemented. Planting Plan The specific areas on the parcel where the mitigation actions will take place are shown on Figure 21, and are located primarily on the hillslope directly adjacent to the Oak Bay marine shoreline. The mitigation areas A-D are approximately 9,570 square feet in area and have been vegetated with a mixture of red alder (Alnus rubra) willow (Salix spp.), Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), fireweed (Epiloblum augustifolium) and invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor) and Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) since the early 1940s until the current time (Figures 6-21). Review of historic aerial photographs indicate that adjacent parcels along the Oak Bay shoreline are capable of supporting riparian forest species consisting of conifer (Douglas fir, Red cedar, Red alder, Willow and Madrone). Revegetation of the site will provide the following functions to the marine shoreline: March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 9 1. Shade 2. Litter fall 3. Insect populations that form prey for marine fish 4. Structural diversity for birds and small mammals (perches, nesting, roosting, and perching habitat. 5. Cover for herbivores such as deer and meso-carnivores such as raccoons and coyotes. 6. Root strength reinforcement on the hillslope adjacent to the shoreline. Therefore, it is the goal of the vegetation and mitigation plan to restore a riparian scrub-shrub and forest vegetation community adjacent to the Oak Bay marine shoreline. Plant List The following plant species and size classes will be planted randomly within the designated mitigation areas taking advantage of site characteristics to optimize survival of the plantings: Number Common Name Size 15 Western red cedar 2 gallon 15 Douglas fir 2 gallon 15 Red alder 2 gallon 10 Scouler’s Willow 2 gallon 10 Rhododenron 2 gallon 5 Madrone 2 gallon Site Preparation The established protective shoreline buffer shall be cleared of invasive, non-desirable plants and any existing structures (gabion and shoreline revetment) and then planted with species as listed above. Some amount of site preparation will be needed in order to establish the tree seedlings within the mitigation area. Five-feet by five-feet areas (25 ft2 areas) surrounding seedlings will be cleared of existing vegetation in order to reduce competition from existing plants. The ground will be tilled in order to loosen the soil and necessary amendments (planting mix) will be used in the seedling planting areas. Landscaping associated with the new home site and yard areas shall also incorporate the use of native, drought tolerant plant species to provide greater habitat opportunities for local wildlife species. The outer boundary of the established shoreline buffer shall be clearly marked to limit maintenance actions and limit human intrusions. March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 10 Watering It will be required that a minimum of 1” of water per month be delivered to the mitigation area within the first five years of seedling establishment due to the south facing direction of the hillslope and the seasonal drought that is experienced during typical summers in this location. Site Monitoring Photographic monitoring locations (four) will be established for each of the mitigation areas in order to systematically document the establishment and growth of the plants. Three-quarter inch rebar stakes will be installed a minimum of 24 inches into the ground and used as reference locations for collecting site photographs. The specific direction of the photograph (azimuth) will be recorded in order to maintain consistency through-out the mitigation monitoring period (five-years). Additionally, low-elevation, oblique and vertical (nadir) views of the mitigation areas will be obtained using unmanned aerial system (drone) photography. Adaptive Management It is anticipated that some degree of plant mortality will occur within the mitigation area due to drought, animal browse, frost, or disease. Annual surveys will identify how many plants will need to be replaced in order to achieve the goal of the mitigation plan (re-establish mature riparian forest). Based on observed mortality, a shift in species composition may be needed in order to fine-tune the vegetation plan to the mitigation site Upon completion of the onsite planting activities, and an Implementation Report shall be prepared and submitted to Jefferson County. The Implementation Report shall include a description of who completed the onsite actions, a description of the scope of work completed, a description of work specification, photo documentation of the actions taken, and a detailed timeline of completed actions. Following the acceptance of the Implementation Report by Jefferson County, the property owner shall undertake a five (5) year monitoring program to help ensure the establishment of the selected native plant community. Upon the completion of each monitoring year the property owner shall provide Jefferson County with a letter report that identifies overall plant survival as defined by a 100% plant count of initially installed native trees and photo documentation of the established/enhanced buffer. At some point in the future it is likely that some degree of non-destructive pruning will take place to maintain views from the residence to the water as allowed by the Jefferson County March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 11 Code: “The buffer is to be retained in its natural condition except for minor pruning for views and access as long as the function and character of the buffer is not adversely impacted.” Implementation Inspection Essential to the success of the Vegetation and Mitigation Plan is the accurate inspection of onsite activities immediately prior to and during implementation. These activities include pre- implementation site inspection, onsite inspection and technical direction during invasive species removal and planting activities, and post-planting site inspection and evaluation. On-site inspections will be conducted to verify and approve the following project tasks: 1. Marking of work areas and access corridors. 2. The placement of protective silt fencing/construction fencing. 3. Marking of desirable plants to be retained. 4. Removal of invasive species. 5. Nursery stock acceptance. 6. Modification of plant species and sizes if required. Performance Monitoring Following the successful implementation of the Planting Plan, a five-year performance monitoring and evaluation program shall be undertaken. The purpose of this monitoring is to ensure the success of the buffer enhancement program as measured by the following criteria: Performance Criterion 1: As defined by plant counts (100%) of the trees initially planted within the enhanced buffer shall exhibit survival through the end of the first growing season following initial planting. Performance Criterion 2: As defined by plant counts (80%) of the trees initially planted within the enhanced buffer shall exhibit survival through the end of the second and third growing seasons following initial planting. Performance Criterion 3: As defined by plant counts the presence of invasive species shall not adversely impact the survival of desirable vegetation. The enhanced buffer shall not exceed 10% aerial coverage of blackberries or other invasive shrubs at the end of the first, second, third or fourth growing season. Vegetation Maintenance Plan Maintenance of the enhanced buffer plant community may be required. The overall objective is to establish undisturbed plant communities that do not require maintenance. Activities may include, but are not limited to, the removal of invasive non-native vegetation and the irrigation of selective areas. March 27, 2023 TIM MURRAY PARCEL 962700097, JEFFERSON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. Crescent Environmental PLLC 12 Contingency Plan As a contingency, should the Planting Plan fail to meet the performance criteria, the property owner shall undertake required remedial actions. Where plant survival is the failing component, the project proponent shall replant and ensure the success of this second planting which would be held to the same standard of success as measured by threshold criteria and monitoring processes. Where non-native, invasive shrubs exceed 10% aerial coverage, the project proponent shall undertake removal actions. Such removal actions shall be completed using hand tools or pulling the plants by hand to remove the invasive vegetation without disrupting the soil profile. All cut or pulled vegetation shall be removed from the restoration area and disposed in an approved location. Herbicides shall only be used following approval by the County. If used, all herbicide application shall be completed by a licensed professional applicator. SUMMARY In order to establish a single-family residence within 76.5 horizontal feet of the designated Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area, the applicant is proposing the implementation of a Vegetation and Mitigation Plan that will restore shoreline functions by removing a revetment composed of car tires, restoration of the vegetation community in the riparian zone within the established buffer, establishing native vegetation surrounding the proposed home site, implementation of required measures to minimize the impacts to the marine shoreline of Oak Bay, and the establishment of a legal conservation easement. Overall the areas to be rehabilitated, restored, and replanted water ward of the 150-foot regulatory buffer exceed the area to be impacted by the building envelope of the proposed residence and driveway by a factor exceeding 2.5:1. The value of the shoreline rehabilitation to be accomplished by tire revetment removal is especially beneficial to the shoreline environment and in our opinion makes the overall benefit of approving this proposal even greater. It is the opinion of Crescent Environmental PLLC that the development of the proposed single- family home site within the central portion of the project site, together with the associated Shoreline Enhancement Program, will not adversely impact the aquatic and terrestrial habitats associated with the project site and the adjacent shoreline, nearshore, and sub-tidal areas of Oak Bay and will in fact achieve substantial net benefits over observed historic conditions.
