C.11 WDFW-USFS INTERIM MOU PROVISIONS (JAN 2012)

A copy of this MOU must be on site at all times when work is conducted under the provisions of Appendix A. A full copy of the WDFW-USFS MOU will be provided at the Prework meeting.

The following provisions are applicable to this contract:

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL APPENDIX A PROJECTS

Fish-bearing Waters

1. Streams which meet the Washington State Forest Practices Act physical criteria for fish presence (WAC 222-16-031 Interim Water Typing System) are assumed to be fish- bearing unless documented survey information is available that provides evidence of a lack of fish presence.

2. The Forest Service will consult with WDFW to agree on the status of streams that

Package #2: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF (Zone 1) Seed Project Sulphur Creek Campground Drainage Page 5 of 95 meet the physical criteria for fish presence but where biological information is incomplete, inconclusive, or not well documented.

Timing

1. Freshwater hydraulic projects conducted under Appendix A in fish-bearing streams or in tributary streams within ¼ mile of fish-bearing streams will be implemented only during the work periods outlined in Appendix D unless the Forest Service fisheries biologist and the WDFW Area Habitat Biologist agree that implementing the activity outside of the normal work period would be unlikely to cause negative impacts to fish and fish habitat. The location of the project within a watershed, site-specific conditions, circumstances, nature of the proposed work, and fish species and life stages actually present at the project site may make alternative instream work periods acceptable for many projects. Any agreements to modify the work periods in Appendix D for specific projects or specific sites shall be documented by

WDFW.

2. Those portions of hydraulic project work that occur outside or above the bankfull channel and have little or no potential to negatively affect fish or fish habitat are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D. Examples of such work include replacing bridge decking, constructing a bridge superstructure after footings are in place, and building up the fill over a culvert that is in place. These projects are still bound by the other provisions in Appendix A.

3. Hydraulic projects conducted in intermittent non-fish-bearing streams that are dry during the proposed work are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D unless the USFS fish biologist determines the activities are likely to negatively affect fish life, in which case the work periods specified in Appendix D apply.

4. Hydraulic projects conducted in wetted non-fish-bearing streams that are greater than ¼ mile from fish-bearing waters are not subject to the work periods specified in Appendix D unless the USFS fish biologist determines the activities are likely to negatively affect fish life, in which case the work periods specified in Appendix D apply.

Fish Protection

1. The intake on any pump used for diverting water from a fish-bearing waterbody shall be screened with material that has openings no larger than 5/64 inch for square openings, measured side to side, or 3/32 inch diameter for round openings, and the screen must have at least one square inch of functional screen area for every gallon per minute (gpm) of water drawn through it. For example, a 100 gpm-rated pump would require at least a 100 square inch screen. Screen maintenance shall be adequate to prevent injury or entrapment to juvenile fish and shall remain in place whenever water is withdrawn from the waterbody through the pump intake.

2. Fish within construction sites that will be dewatered or isolated from the main waterbody

Package #2: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF (Zone 1) Seed Project Sulphur Creek Campground Drainage Page 6 of 95 shall be captured and safely moved from the job site. Fish capture and transportation equipment shall be available on the job site during all inwater activities.

3. If at any time, as a result of project activities, a fish kill occurs, fish are observed in distress, or water quality problems develop that may present a threat to fish life, the Forest Service shall immediately notify the Washington Military Department’s Emergency Management Division at 1-800-258-5990.

Erosion Control

1. Alteration or disturbance of the bed, banks, and bank vegetation of waterbodies shall be minimized and limited to that necessary to construct the project.

2. Erosion prevention and control methods shall be used as necessary during and immediately after project implementation to minimize loss or displacement of soils and to prevent delivery of sediment into waterbody. These may include, but are not limited to, operational techniques, straw bales, silt fencing, erosion control blankets, temporary sediment ponds, and/or immediate mulching of exposed areas. Disturbed ground with the potential to deliver sediment into waterbodies shall be revegetated or protected from surface erosion by seeding, mulching, or other methods prior to the fall rainy season.

3. After project completion, disturbed streambanks and lakeshores shall be revegetated with site-appropriate vegetation to maintain soil stability and provide shade and future sources of large wood. Revegetation can be accomplished by planting or natural reproduction, depending on site conditions.

Dewatering

1. Where the project-specific provisions require worksite isolation from flowing waters and/or dewatering, a written dewatering plan shall be prepared prior to the start of the instream work that describes the method of bypass, location and construction of any coffer dams or diversion dams, the number and size of pumps to be used, and backup plans in place in case of mechanical failure or unanticipated storm events. The dewatering plan does not require review or approval by WDFW.

2. The dewatering system will be designed and installed to minimize erosion and sediment delivery to watercourses and to withstand all streamflows anticipated during the construction period.

3. Water bypassed around the site will be returned to the stream channel downstream of the work site. The bypass discharge point shall be designed to minimize erosion and scour of the stream

Package #2: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF (Zone 1) Seed Project Sulphur Creek Campground Drainage Page 7 of 95 channel, banks, and vegetation.

4. Wastewater from project activities within the dewatered area shall be routed to an area outside the bankfull channel to allow removal of fine sediment and other contaminants prior to infiltrating back into waterbodies.

5. Water shall be reintroduced back into the channel in a manner that minimizes the mobilization of fines and sediment into downstream waters.

6. Any materials used to construct the dewatering system will be removed prior to the completion of the project.

Heavy Equipment

1. The use of heavy equipment within the bankfull channel in streams and below the ordinary high water line in lakes is discouraged. If such work is necessary, operation of heavy equipment in these areas shall be minimized and appropriate measures shall be taken to minimize damage to streambanks and streambed.

2. Accumulations of soil or debris shall be removed from drive mechanisms (wheels, tires, tracks, etc.) and undercarriage of all heavy equipment prior to its working within the bankfull channel in streams or below the ordinary high water line in lakes.

3. To prevent contamination, equipment used around waterbodies shall be free of external petroleum-based products. Equipment shall be checked daily for leaks and any necessary repairs shall be completed prior to commencing work activities. All machinery fueling and maintenance involving petroleum products shall occur at a sufficient distance from stream channels, waterbodies, or wetlands to prevent delivery of potential contaminants. Spill containment equipment and material shall be on site.

Concrete and Treated Wood

1. Fresh concrete, concrete by-products, or other chemical contaminants shall not be allowed to enter waterbodies. Structures containing concrete shall be sufficiently cured to prevent leaching prior to contact with the waterbody.

2. Wood treated with creosote or with pentachlorophenol in heavy oil solvent may not be used for wood components that will be over or in contact with water in hydraulic projects. Wood treated with any pentachlorophenol formulation may not be used for in- water contact (i.e., within the 100 year floodplain). All treated wood used for hydraulic projects shall meet or exceed the criteria and guidance established in the most current edition of 'Best Management

Package #2: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF (Zone 1) Seed Project Sulphur Creek Campground Drainage Page 8 of 95

Practices For the Use of Treated Wood in Aquatic and Other Sensitive Environments' developed by the Western Wood Preservers Institute, Wood Preservation Canada, Southern Pressure Treaters' Association, and Timber Piling Council, and any current amendments or addenda to it. Current amendments and addenda include but may not be limited to 'Amendment #1: CCA - Chromated Copper Arsenate', dated October 25, 2006; and 'Addendum #1: ACC - Acid Chromated Copper', dated February 28, 2007.

Invasive Species Control

1. All materials and equipment used in the construction of hydraulic projects shall be free of aquatic invasive species and noxious weeds. Materials and equipment used at a project site at which aquatic invasive species are already established shall be decontaminated so that no viable aquatic invasive species are transported from the job site.

Other

1. A copy of this MOU shall be available on site at all times when work is conducted under the provisions of Appendix A.

SPECIFIC PROJECT PROVISIONS

Permanent Culvert Installation and Replacement NOTE: Permanent culvert installation and replacement projects include installation of new culverts that are installed for more than one year and replacement of existing culverts with similar or larger structures.

In addition to the General Provisions Applicable to All Projects, the following project specific provisions apply when conducting permanent culvert installation or replacement projects.

1. In non fish-bearing waters, provisions highlighted with a * are not required.

2. *Culverts in fish-bearing streams shall be designed, installed, and maintained to provide passage for all fish species and all life stages that are likely to be encountered at the site.

3. *Culverts in fish-bearing streams shall be designed and installed based on the stream simulation approach. Stream simulation designs are intended to mimic the natural stream characteristics and processes.

4. *Site investigations and selections of appropriate stream simulation culvert designs will be guided by the current version of Forest Service design manual “Stream Simulation: An Ecological Approach to Providing Passage for Aquatic Organisms as Road-Stream Crossings” or the current version of Washington State “Design of Road Culverts for Fish Passage”.

Package #2: Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie NF (Zone 1) Seed Project Sulphur Creek Campground Drainage Page 9 of 95

5. *Forest Service shall notify WDFW when it begins the design process for a fish passage culvert.

Collaboration is encouraged on these projects and can be initiated by either agency.

6. *A Forest Service staff with expertise in stream processes and fish habitat shall be on-site during initial culvert placement and placement of streambed materials inside the pipe for all culverts in fish-bearing streams.

7. *Installation of baffled culverts in fish-bearing streams is not included under Appendix A.

8. *Installation of culverts in fish-bearing streams utilizing the “Hydraulic Method” or “No- Slope” method are not included under Appendix A.

9. Culverts shall be designed, installed and maintained to accommodate the 100-year peak flow with consideration of the sediment load and wood likely to be encountered.

10. Culverts shall be designed, installed and maintained to avoid negative channel changes such as inlet scouring or erosion of the streambed or banks downstream of the project.

11. The crossing structure shall consist of a single culvert.

12. Construction sites shall be dewatered or isolated from flowing waters to prevent delivery of sediment to watercourses.

13. Every effort shall be made to avoid stream crossings with heavy equipment. A single round-trip equipment crossing of the stream channel shall be allowed, if necessary. Equipment operation within the stream channel inside of the approximate culvert footprint is permissible so long as the stream has been dewatered.
