DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/WORK STATEMENT

Permit Dive Monitoring and Reporting Services

Background and Intent

The Tongass National Forest is required to submit a Bark Monitoring Report to the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) for certain Log Transfer Facilities. It is estimated that it will take 3 hours to do the bark monitoring survey for each site.

Quoters may be required to submit samples of similar work. Examples of acceptable similar work are available for viewing at the Petersburg Office of the Tongass National Forest.

The Contractor will give the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) 3 days notice prior to commencing work at each site. Permit monitoring services and reporting awarded under this contract are to be completed and submitted to the Forest Service no later than May 15, 2015.

Bark Monitoring and Reporting

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Bark Monitoring Program is to comply with the requirements of the Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) Permit AKG700000. ADEC has authorized a Zone of Deposit (ZOD) for facilities authorized to discharge under this general APDES permit, which includes the project area. The ZOD may include continuous coverage, discontinuous coverage, and trace coverage by bark and wood debris.

2. Objectives. The bark monitoring survey shall determine the depth, total area, and outer boundary of continuous cover by bark and wood debris, and the depth, total area, and outer boundary of discontinuous cover by bark and wood debris on the bottom, in water depths to 60 feet MLLW.

3. Methods. The sites have previously had a bark monitoring surveys completed. Successful bidders will be provided a copy of project area maps from the previous bark monitoring reports. Dive survey transects will duplicate the transects of previous dive surveys.

The following method is approved.

a. Establish transect lines with a surveyor’s tape or other precise methodology extending seaward from permanent shore-marker(s) or from the center of the point of entry of the Log Transfer Facility. Measurements should extend beyond the area of bark accumulation, or to a water depth of 60 feet at MLLW, whichever is first.

b. Surveys using Radial Transects: Set a central permanent marker on shore at the face of the LTF or other suitable location or establish the center of the point of entry. Establish at least five transects radially from the permanent marker or the center of the point of entry. Use a GPS unit to determine and record latitude and longitude of the center of the point of entry in degrees, and minutes to 3 decimal places. Transects should be no more than 30o apart, extending from one side of the facility to the other. Record transect compass bearings.

LTF Dive Permit and Monitoring Svc AG-0114-S-16-0001 Page 5 of 53

c. Determine the total area of continuous coverage by bark and wood debris, and the total area of discontinuous coverage by bark and wood debris, within the project area in water depths to 60 feet MLLW. Measurement stations along a transect shall be no longer that 15 feet apart in areas of continuous bark coverage and no more than 15 feet apart in areas on discontinuous bark coverage.

d. If continuous coverage extends more than 15 feet beyond and perpendicular to the lateral transects that bound the two sides of the survey area, then additional transects must be established to determine the extent of continuous coverage beyond the lateral transects. An area of continuous or discontinuous coverage must be calculated as the area in acres enclosed by a line connecting the outermost measured points of continuous or discontinuous coverage, respectively, for that area on the transect array.

e. The following information shall be recorded at each measuring station. A form similar to the Transect Data Form provided in Appendix 4a shall be used.

(i) Bark Depth. Measure and record depth of bark deposit using a marked stick or pipe to the nearest centimeter. If bark is visible but less than one centimeter deep, record the depth as less than one centimeter.

(ii) Percent Cover. Estimate and record the percentage of area covered by bark within the immediate vicinity of the measuring station. A sampling area is measured within a three-foot-square (one square yard) measuring station.

Photographs must be included that depict the nature and coverage of bark and wood debris on the ocean bottom at representative measuring stations along the transects, including all of the stations with continuous coverage (100%) and at least half of the measuring stations with discontinuous coverage (10%- 99%). Photographs at each measuring station must include information on the name of the LTF facility, survey date, and measuring station identifier.

(iii) Water Depth (adjusted to MLLW).

(iv) Presence of metal and other debris.

(v) Still color photographs that clearly depict the nature and coverage of bark and wood debris on the ocean bottom at representative sample plot along the transects, including at least half the sample plots.

(vi) Description of the numbers and species of marine organisms.

(vii) Substrate types

Note: In addition to the data required on Form Appendix 4 of the AKG700000 permit, the presence of metal and other debris, marine organisms, and substrate type shall be recorded on whatever form used. A key shall be provided for all data recorded on the form. The required still color photographs shall be numbered and mounted or printed on 8.5 inch x 11 inch sheets. The Bark Monitoring Survey Report Forms in the AKG 700000 permit or a similar reporting method shall be used in submitting the report.

LTF Dive Permit and Monitoring Svc AG-0114-S-16-0001 Page 6 of 53

A photograph key with photo number, transect number/ sample point and photograph description shall be printed on 8.5 inch x 11 inch sheets. Color photographs shall be 3 inch x 5 inch and no more than four to a page.

4. Contents of Report. Submit a bark monitoring report in both hardcopy and electronic format that includes the following information. A form similar to the Bark Monitoring Survey Report Form provided in Permit AKG 700000 or similar reporting method may be used.

a. Date, exact place and time of dive survey, and name(s) of individual(s) who performed the survey;

Required Method for Bark Monitoring Surveys under the LTF General Permits from Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation

1. The survey must determine the total area of continuous cover by bark, and the total area of discontinuous cover by bark. Continuous cover is defined as an area of bark and wood debris that is estimated to cover 100 % of the ocean bottom, as measured within a three-foot-square sample plot. Discontinuous cover is defined as an area of bark and wood debris that is estimated to cover 10 % or more, but less than 100 %, in a three-foot-square sample plot. The bark monitoring report must clearly state the area of continuous cover and the area of discontinuous cover.

2. Measurements along each transect must continue until MLLW water depth reaches 60 feet, or bark cover is less than 10%, i.e., trace cover. Depth of bark does not affect either the stopping point (e.g., one cm.) or the calculation of area (e.g., 10 cm.).

3. The survey may use radial transects. To simplify area calculation, ADEC requests that radial transects be set exactly 30 degrees apart (see calculation method, below), unless bark

LTF Dive Permit and Monitoring Svc AG-0114-S-16-0001 Page 8 of 53 distribution, bottom topography, or other factors warrant other transect spacing. See general permits for radial method requirements. Alternate methods may be acceptable. In particular, the Department will not require a preliminary dive, establishment of hard transect lines, or a central permanent marker. However, a rigorous, repeatable method must be set out in the Quality Assurance Project Plan.

4. ADEC requests operators to assure that measurements are taken every 15 feet (not 15 meters!)

along each transect.

5. Still photographs that clearly depict the nature of bark cover must be taken for all stations with continuous cover (100%) and at least half the stations with discontinuous cover (10%-99%).

6. If continuous cover extends more than 15 feet beyond and perpendicular to the lateral transects that bound the two sides of the survey area, then additional transects must be established to determine the lateral extent of continuous cover. The additional transects may be short perpendicular transects sufficient to encompass the lateral bark.

7. Each discrete area of continuous or discontinuous cover must be calculated as the area enclosed by a line connecting the outermost measured points of that continuous or discontinuous cover, respectively, unless another method is approved by ADEC. In a typical survey, the measured boundary of continuous cover also is the boundary of the adjacent discontinuous cover.

The total area of continuous cover and the total area of discontinuous cover are cumulative and may include more than one discrete area of cover. Area should be reported in acres to the nearest tenth.

8. There must be a statement as to whether the project area Zone of Deposit has been exceeded;

that is, whether bark has been determined to exist outside the project area.

EXAMPLE: Calculating the area of bark cover

Figure 1 shows "typical" radial transects set 30 degrees apart. Points of measurement are at 15-foot intervals along the transects. There is continuous cover bark in the inner, near shore area, and discontinuous bark in the outer, deeper area, but the two areas easily could be reversed.

Figure 1

LTF Dive Permit and Monitoring Svc AG-0114-S-16-0001 Page 9 of 53

The continuous-cover area is calculated as the sum of the four continuous-cover triangles between transects.

The discontinuous-cover area is calculated as the sum of the four total-area triangles, minus the continuous-cover area.

Figure 2

The formula for the area of any triangle is 1/2 x base x height, or 1/2 bh. The long side of the triangle is viewed as the base. The height is a vertical line perpendicular to the base.

Fortunately, in a 30-degree triangle, the height is equal to 1/2 the length of the upper side adjacent to the 30-degree angle, or 1/2 a. Substituting 1/2 a for h means that the area of a 30-degree triangle is equal to ab/4. This makes it easy to calculate areas between transects, based on the various transect segment lengths.

h = 1/2 a Area = 1/2 bh = 1/2 b x 1/2 a = ab/4

In the following example, the five transects left to right are labeled as T1, T2, T3, T4, T5. The transect lengths are shown for the continuous cover area (CC) and the total area (TA):

T1 T2 T3 T4 T5

CC: 60' 75' 75' 60' 45'

TA: 120' 150' 135' 105' 90'

Find the CC area by calculating the area of each of the four triangles, then adding those four areas. The area of the first CC triangle is 60 x 75 / 4, or 1125 square feet. The table of calculations follows (values are rounded to the nearest whole number).

60 x 75 / 4 = 1125 ft2

75 x 75 / 4 = 1406 75 x 60 / 4 = 1125 60 x 45 / 4 = 675

4331ft2, continuous cover area

Similarly, for the total survey area, the calculation is as follows.

120 x 150 / 4 = 4500 ft2 150 x 135 / 4 = 5063 135 x 105 / 4 = 3544

LTF Dive Permit and Monitoring Svc AG-0114-S-16-0001 Page 10 of 53

105 x 90 / 4 = 2363 15,470 ft2, total survey area

The discontinuous cover area, then, is the total survey area minus the continuous cover area.

15,470 ft2 - 4,331 ft2 = 11,139 ft2

To convert any of the areas to acres, divide by 43,560 ft2/acre.

Continuous cover: 4,331 ft2 / 43,560 ft2/acre = 0.10 acre

Discontinuous cover: 11,139 ft2 / 43,560 ft2/acre = 0.26 acre

A similar method can be used to calculate continuous cover if there is discontinuous cover inside of the continuous cover (nearer to shore). The diagram would be similar to that above, but with continuous cover farther from shore and discontinuous cover near shore. In that case, calculate the inner discontinuous area, and subtract the inner discontinuous area from the total area of continuous plus inner discontinuous area. If there is additional discontinuous area beyond the continuous area (farther from shore), subtract the continuous area from the total survey area to get the sum of the inner and outer discontinuous areas.

To aid in calculation, the table on the next page provides triangle areas in square feet, rounded to the nearest whole number, for various transect lengths, based on 15-foot measurement intervals.

Select one transect length on the top row, e.g., 150 feet. Select the other transect length from the left column, e.g., 135 feet. The triangle area, 150' x 135' / 4 = 5063 ft2, is found in the table at the intersection of the 150' column and the 135' row.

A computer spreadsheet may be constructed to handle calculations for typical situations.

Other methods may be used to calculate area, including computer mapping, planimeter, and dot grids. The method used must be described in the bark monitoring report to a degree that allows DEC and EPA to check the calculation.

Triangle areas in square feet

There's also a simple way to approximate the area of bark coverage. For a given set of four adjacent 30-degree triangles, the approximate total area is the square of the average side length. If the average side length is 120 feet, the approximate area is 120 x 120 = 14,400 ft2.

Here's why it works, using the transect diagram as an example. First, view the four large triangles as being averaged so that all have equal sides. This side length then is the average of the five actual transect lengths.

To find the average side, add up the five actual transect lengths and divide by five. Call that length a. In the standard case, transect intervals are 15 feet, and each transect is a multiple of 15. Dividing by five means the average length always will be a whole number and a multiple of three.

As above, the area of any 30-degree triangle is ab/4. With equal sides, the area is a2/4. Therefore, the area of the four triangles is 4 x a2/4, or a2.

In Figure 1, the average side length is 120 feet, and the estimated area is 14,400 ft2. The actual total area of the transect diagram was calculated to be 15,470 ft2. The estimated area of 14,400 ft2, is 93 % of the actual area.

If six or seven transects are present--five or six triangles--the method still can be used. Average the six or seven sides and square that length to get the area of four triangles. Then add 25% if there are five triangles, and 50% if there are six triangles, to approximate the total area.

As always, converting to acres requires dividing by 43,560 ft2/acre: 14,400/ 43,560 = 0.3 acre.

Note that a2 also is the area of a square with side a, which can be drawn superimposed on the transects for rough visual confirmation of the method. Draw the square so that two sides are the same as the outer sides of three adjacent triangles, with a common 90-degree corner.

For various reasons of geometry, this method is only an approximation. The more "even" the triangles are, the greater the accuracy of the approximation. The more "irregular" the triangles are, the less the accuracy of the approximation. Generally, the method gives a result that is within 10 % lower than the calculated area.
