5l. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. [help]

Vegetation includes a few willows, blackberries, and grasses. Habitat conditions are poor.

5m. Describe how the property is currently used. [help]

The property is a Federal flood control works. There is a dam and floodwater diversion structure. There is currently a fish ladder on the left bank (looking downstream). A new ladder will be constructed on the right bank.

There is currently a stilling basin access ramp on the right bank which will be inaccessible once the new ladder and low-flow channel are constructed. A new stilling basin access ramp will be constructed on the left bank.

5n. Describe how the adjacent properties are currently used. [help]

Adjacent properties are rural residential. There are no adjacent properties directly near the work area.

5o. Describe the structures (above and below ground) on the property, including their purpose(s) and current condition. [help]

The Mill Creek Diversion Dam – Flood control and water diversion structure.

Diversion Dam fish ladder – This ladder is operational, but does not meet current fish passage criteria.

Channel stabilizing weirs – These concrete and rock structures span the channel below the dam and keep the channel from downcutting.

Flood control levees – These rock and earth structures line the channel and protect downstream areas from flooding.

5p. Provide driving directions from the closest highway to the project location, and attach a map. [help]

From Highway 12 in Walla Walla, take the airport exit and head south (away from the airport). Turn left (east) on Mill Creek Road. Travel east about 1.5 miles and turn right (south) on to Rooks Park Road. The Diversion Dam is located in Rooks Park.

Part 6–Project Description

6a. Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. [help]

The project is to construct a replacement fish ladder around the Mill Creek Diversion Dam. Some fill (concrete) will be necessary for the ladder. In addition, a replacement stilling basin access ramp will need to be constructed. 475 cubic yards of fill material will be needed for the access ramp.

6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. [help]

The fish ladder must be constructed because the existing ladder does not meet current fish passage criteria.

The new ladder is a requirement in biological opinions from the National Marine Fisheries Service (2020) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (2020). The access ramp must be constructed because the existing ramp will be non-functional once the new ladder is constructed.

6e. Describe how you plan to construct each project element checked in 6d. Include specific construction methods and equipment to be used. [help]

• Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody.

• Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain.

Both the fish ladder and the stilling basin access ramp will be constructed in and along Mill Creek, within the 100-year floodplain. The ladder will be built to withstand flood flows. The access ramp will be designed so that it eroded during extremely high flows so that it does not affect the flood control capacity of Mill Creek. A new low-flow channel will be constructed on the right bank of Mill Creek beside the new ladder. A temporary cofferdam (large sandbags, or sheet piles) would be built to isolate the ladder construction area from flowing water. The ladder site would be excavated through the existing levee. Concrete forms would be placed, and concrete poured in multiple steps. Concrete would be finished to a smooth surface with no sharp edges. The ramp would be constructed by placing fill with dump trucks and spreading it with a bulldozer. A roller would compact the fill. Construction equipment would include excavators, a bulldozer, a roller, dump trucks, a crane, concrete pumper truck, delivery trucks, a skid steer loader, and generators.

8a. Describe how the project is designed to avoid and minimize adverse impacts to the aquatic environment.

[help]

☐ Not applicable

The new ladder will operate at a higher range of flows than the existing ladder which will improve fish passage conditions. Much of the work will be done during the summer in-water work window to minimize impacts to ESA-listed fish species. The work area will be isolated from the flowing water. Fish salvage will be conducted to relocate any stranded fish. The ladder is designed with a smooth finish and no sharp edges. The design of the new ladder meets current fish passage criteria.

ORIA-revised 12/2023 Page 10 of 15

Pile driving – An estimated 5,024 commercially-sourced, large sandbags (3 cf each) would be placed to create the cofferdam just upstream from the ladder work area. Alternatively, up to 100 steel sheet piles could be used to form a cofferdam upstream of the ladder work site to isolate the work site from flowing water.

Fill for ladder – 1,110 cy of concrete would be placed to create the ladder.

Fill for ramp – Up to 475 cubic yards of large gravel would be placed to create the stilling basin access ramp on the south side of the channel, just downstream of the diversion dam. The material would be placed on the levee with a dump truck and graded into the creek with a bulldozer. A roller would compact the fill. The gravel would come from the ladder excavation site if suitable, if not, it would come from a commercial source.

8g. For all excavating or dredging activities identified in 8e, describe the method for excavating or dredging, type and amount of material you will remove, and where the material will be disposed. [help]

Gravel material will be removed from the ladder site (withing the existing levee and dike) with an excavator, and loaded onto trucks for use at the ramp site, or off site for disposal at an approved disposal site.

Approximately 22,400 cubic yards of material would be removed. Up to 425 cubic yards of suitable material will be reused as fill for the stilling basin access ramp. Some additional fill may be required if the material is not suitable for the ramp.

8h. Have you prepared a Water Quality Monitoring Plan (WQMP) for all in-water work (below ordinary high water), over water work or discharges to waters of the state?

☒ Yes ☐ No

If NO describe the monitoring that you will be conducting including parameters, equipment and locations, or explain why monitoring will not be necessary. [help]

A basic WQM plan has been prepared. The selected contractor will be required to prepare their WQM plan as well and provide a water quality monitoring report upon completion of the contract.
