1.0 INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Lower Cedar River Section 205 Project (the project) is a
Flood Hazard Reduction Project located in and along the lower 1.23 miles (2,000 meters) of the Cedar
River in Renton, Washington (Figure 1). The project consists of an actively maintained (dredged) river
channel, and system of levees and floodwalls that provide protection to the lower river and its extensive
industrial and commercial development, including the Renton Municipal Airport and the Boeing Company
facility. Following the most recent dredging operation performed in 1998 by USAGE, the river bed has
continued to fill with native river sediment composed primarily of gravel as expected and identified during
the original 1998 project permitting and design. Continued deposition in the river channel is expected to
compromise the project flood protection system in the next two to three years, or sooner. Therefore, the
City of Renton (the City), as the USAGE Section 205 Project local sponsor, has initiated the planning and
preliminary design for maintenance dredging of the river and other necessary maintenance actions to
obtain construction permits with sufficient time to maintain the 100-year flood protection benefits, as
required by the Project Cooperative Agreement (PCA) between the City and USAGE.
Maintenance dredging will take place within the limits and grades of previous dredging work as permitted
within the original National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
(USAGE, 1997). The EIS evaluated five project alternatives in detail, including a no action alternative and
four alternatives to provide 100-year flood protection. The alternatives evaluation examined various depths
of dredging (4, 6 and 10 feet), configurations for levees/floodwalls and bridge modifications, dredge cycle
frequencies, and levels of protection. Other alternatives were not evaluated in detail because they were
determined not to be feasible and/or did not meet the project objectives. The selected alternative
recommended dredging the existing channel to a minimum 4-foot depth relative to the 1995 bed profile
and construction of levees and floodwalls to provide minimum protection against the 100-year recurrence
interval flood event with at least 90 percent reliability. Periodic dredging every three years was anticipated
to maintain the design level of protection, based on regular bed elevation surveys to determine the amount
of bed aggradation. Selection of this design was based on the ability to provide the most effective level of
protection while causing the least environmental impact to the river and riparian habitat.
The project involves work within jurisdictional Waters of the U.S., as identified in the Clean Water Act, and
therefore requires a federal permit and must also comply with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and
Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Management Act (MSA). GeoEngineers, Inc. (GeoEngineers) was retained to
prepare a Biological Assessment (BA) to satisfy the ESA Section 7 consultation requirements. This BA
addresses potential project effects on threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat.
An MSA Essential Fisheries Habitat (EFH) analysis is also included.
Information on species listed under the ESA, and potentially present in the project area, was obtained from
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) list for King County (USFWS, 2013a), the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) listing for Western Washington (NMFS, 2012), the Washington State
Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) priority habitat and species (PHS) maps (WDFW, 2013a), and the
WDFW SalmonScape application (WDFW, 2013b). The project occurs in the Cedar River adjacent to Lake
Washington, which are both known to provide habitat for threatened or endangered fish species. ESA-listed
species and critical habitats are identified in Section 4 of this report.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION
2.:1.. Project Purpose and Objective
The City of Renton is proposing to dredge accumulated sediment within the lower 1.23 miles of the
Cedar River. This maintenance project is needed to maintain adequate flood conveyance in the Cedar River
to protect adjacent properties, as required by the Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) established
between the City of Renton and the USACE in 1998 (USACE, 2004). Stream bank stabilization and outfall
repairs directly related to the maintenance of the 205 flood control project are also proposed to manage
the effects of erosion on adjacent flood control structures and facilities. Compensatory mitigation is also
proposed to comply with regulatory requirements for species and habitat conservation.
2.2. Project Location
The project is located in Renton, King County, Washington, extending from the mouth of the Cedar River at
Lake Washington (laVlong coordinates 47.50048, -122.21589) upstream approximately 1.23 miles
(6,500 feet) to the Williams Avenue Bridge (47.48433, -122.20664). It is within Sections 7, 17 and 18 of
Township 23N, Range 05E, of the Willamette Meridian. Cedar River is within the Hydrological Unit Code
(HUC) 17110012 (Lake Washington Watershed) and within Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA) 8
(Cedar/Sammamish). A Vicinity Map is included as Figure 1.
2.3. Project Description
Maintenance dredging will be performed to maintain the project flood protection benefits, as required in
the PCA. The threshold for periodic maintenance dredging is based on ensuring flood protection against
the 100-year recurrence interval event, with at least 90 percent reliability. As the bed approaches the
specified allowable elevation (Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile per USACE, 2004), anywhere within
the project, provisions are to be made for channel dredging to maintain the design level of protection.
During maintenance dredging actions, the Cedar River channel within the project area will be excavated to
a depth of approximately 4 feet on average below the "Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile" as defined
in the PCA. A transition slope will gradually reduce the dredge cut from the designed dredged channel
bottom at Logan Avenue upstream to Williams Avenue where it will meet the existing river bed level. The
maximum transition slope will be approximately 0.63 percent.
The proposed maintenance dredging action is similar in scope (depth and plan extents) to the USACE 205
project that was permitted in 1998, which also permitted periodic maintenance dredging. The project
extents (width and depth of the dredge cut) along the river (North Boeing Bridge to Williams Avenue or
Station 0+00 to 64+85) will be slightly smaller than the 205 project proposed and constructed in 1998.
The dredge depth will strictly adhere to an average of~ feet (below allowable average channel bed profile)
with a 1-foot overdepth allowance and will not exceed the depths permitted in the 1998 project. The total
volume of dredged material is estimated to be approximately 125,000 cubic yards (cy) including
contingency for sediment accumulation between the May 2013 channel survey and the conditions at the
time of the proposed dredging in 2015 (average accumulation of 9,700 cy per year in project area).

2.3.2. Project Details
The following sections describe the proposed actions in greater detail. Detail sheets prepared for the Joint
Aquatic Resource Permit Application (JARPA) are included with this report as Appendix A.
2.3.2.1. MAINTENANCE DREDGING
Maintenance dredging is needed to maintain the project flood protection benefits, as required in the
PCA Operation & Maintenance Manual between the City of Renton and USAGE (USAGE, 2004).
The threshold for periodic maintenance dredging is based on ensuring flood protection against the 100-year
recurrence interval event, with at least 90 percent reliability. As the bed elevation approaches the specified
allowable elevation (Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile per USAGE, 2004), anywhere within the project,
provisions are to be made for channel dredging to maintain the design level of protection.
GEO ENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 4
File No. 0693·073·00
During maintenance dredging actions, the Cedar River channel within the project area will be excavated to
an average depth of 4 feet below the "Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile" as defined in the PCA.
The maximum slope will be 0.63 percent. The transition slope area will extend from Logan Avenue
upstream to Williams Avenue. The maximum transition area slope will also be approximately 0.63 percent.
Transition slope will gradually reduce the dredge cut from the designed dredged channel bottom at
Logan Avenue upstream to Williams Avenue where it will meet the existing river bed level.
The proposed maintenance dredge action is similar in scope (depth and plan extents) to the original USAGE
project that was assessed and permitted in 1998. The planned dredge widths will be slightly smaller than
proposed and conducted in 1998. The dredge depth will strictly adhere to average depth of 4 feet (below
allowable average channel bed profile) with a 1-foot over-depth allowance and will not exceed the depths
permitted in the 1998 project. The total estimated volume of dredged material is estimated to be
approximately 125,000 cy including contingency for sedimentation accumulation between the May 2013
survey and the conditions at the time of dredging in 2015 (average accumulation of 9,700 cy per year in
project area). Width of the maintenance dredging will accommodate the changing channel width and will
vary depending on location within the project area. The channel bottom cut will be 90 feet wide in Reach 1,
narrowing in intervals along the project length to a 60-foot channel width at the upstream limit in Reach 3.
Dredged width has been narrowed in certain locations, relative to the 1998 dredge, to prevent undermining
of structures and river banks. Dredged side slopes will be 3H:1V unless otherwise required for local bank
stabilization maintenance work or if required for geotechnical or structural stability of existing infrastructure
(Bridges and I-walls).
Floating Dredge
For water-based dredging in Reach 1, it is expected that the type of equipment utilized will be an excavator
or crawler crane mounted on a portable sectional barge (such as a flexi-float system). The sectional barge
will be mobilized to the site by truck, assembled, and launched either at the existing boat ramp on the right
bank or at another nearby left bank staging area. The barge and excavator system will be moved around
the dredging work area using a small transportable tug boat suitable for use in shallow water environments.
The barge would be secured to the riverbed prior to dredging using spuds placed in the riverbed or anchor
lines. Dredged material will be removed from the river bottom using either an excavator digging bucket or
clamshell bucket. The bucket will place the dredged material onto a material barge, which will be fitted
with side boards and filter fabric or other appropriate BMPs to contain the dredged material and filter fines.
Initial dewatering is accomplished while material is on the barge deck as excess water is filtered and
returned to the river. After completion of material barge loading, the loaded barge would be transported by
small tug to the material offload facility at two locations along the left bank of the project site. Offload areas
will be located within areas which allow access from the adjacent uplands and limit impacts to existing
functional riparian habitat and flood control infrastructure.
Temporary construction unloading platforms will be required to unload dredged material frorn the barge,
re-handle the material, and load into trucks or place in a small stockpile located in the adjacent uplands.
The unloading platform will be composed of steel pile (vibratory driven sheet or pipe pile) or other similar
temporary shoring method that can be fully removed after dredging activities (such as ecology blocks, rock,
large polypropylene sacks filled with gravel, or similar). Natural gravel/cobble fill from dredging will be
placed between the existing slope and temporary shoring system to maintain a platform suitable for
excavators to unload the barge. The platform will be dissembled after completion of floating dredge
operations and impacted areas (levees, vegetation) restored. The upland stockpile will be protected against
erosion using standard BMPs. The access platforms will be located approximately at STAs 8+00, 14+00,
and 16+50.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 5
File No. 0693-073-00
Excavator
Dredging work will also be conducted utilizing land-based equipment operated from temporary gravel berms
and removable construction platforms located in the river channel below ordinary high water (OHW).
Excavator dredge operation will consist of a combination of multiple tracked excavators, crawler cranes,
front end loaders, bulldozers and dump trucks. This approach will require the land-based equipment to
access the river channel from the uplands at designated locations near the bridges (South Boeing Bridge
at RM 0. 7 4/STA 39+00, Logan Avenue at RM 1.06/STA 56+00). A total of 17 access points are anticipated
to be required along the left bank of the project site with each being approximately 50 to 75 feet in length.
Four access points along the right bank might be needed for the dredging and/or bank stabilization work.
These will include the boat ramp at RM 0.14 (STA 7+60), the gabion replacement area at RM 0.42
(STA 22+25), adjacent to 6th Avenue at RM 0.6 (STA 31 +80), and on the north side of Logan Avenue bridge
at RM 1.06 (STA 56+00). The boat ramp will also be used for launching work boats and survey vessels.
The stadium parking lot access would only be used if absolutely necessary to complete right bank work
between South Boeing and Logan Avenue Bridges. The work will be initiated within the upper reach
between Logan and Williams Avenue Bridges.
To initiate the work, a limited amount of imported temporary fill may be needed at the access point and
berm at the toe of the access point. The temporary 448 will be stream bed-type material either taken from
the floating dredge operation or from an approved offsite sand and gravel operation. Once excavation
equipment is mobilized, additional bed material will be dredged and placed within the left bank side of the
channel to create a temporary berm which has a top elevation above the water surface elevation
anticipated during construction. The temporary berm will serve as a working platform for construction
equipment. The temporary berm will be removed as the dredging work progresses in a downstream
direction. Material removed from the channel and temporary berm will be loaded into trucks and
transported to re-handling areas near the access points. Re-handling areas will be constructed using
dredge material to provide a ramp and berm for equipment to transfer materials from the channel over the
flood control structures (I-wall and Levee) into trucks located along the adjacent access roads (Airport and
Frontage Road).
2.3.2.2. BANK STABILIZATION
Bank stabilization work is proposed as an element of maintenance of the 205 Flood Control project.
Bank stabilization is limited to those areas of the flood control project requiring stabilization (levees and
floodwalls) based upon engineering analysis and design standards set for by USACE. The areas identified
for bank stabilization are the maximum extents needed to identify the maximum amount of potential project
disturbance. A smaller area may be constructed based on the conditions at the time of construction and
available construction funding, therefore the minimization measures such as filling void spaces will be
commensurate with the amount of bank stabilization. Bank stabilization for non-essential flood control
project features are not proposed as part of this project. Bank stabilization work is oomposed of the
following types of work:
• Maintenance -Minor restoration of portions of displaced rock on existing bank stabilization features
while access to the areas is provided during the dredging work.
• Repair -Replacement and reconstruction of existing deteriorated and failing bank stabilization
features.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 6
File No. 0693,073-00
• New Stabilization -Installation of new stabilization measures to ensure protection of the flood control
I-wall at approximate RM 0.59 to 0.63 (STA 31 +16 to 33+00). The bank in this reach has eroded since
the 1998 dredge, which presents a risk to the structural stability of the I-wall, if not stabilized.
The anticipated life expectancy of bank stabilization work that is completed is 20-30 years, after which time
these elements may require replacement or additional maintenance. However, not all bank areas within
the project limits require maintenance or repair at this time. It is anticipated that periodic review of the
bank conditions will be completed with each dredge cycle to identify maintenance and repair actions
needed. Furthermore, the riverine environment is dynamic and subject to unforeseeable natural
phenomena including flood events that exceed the design criteria for features installed. The need for
emergency repairs resulting from flood damage to bank work installed as part of the current proposal
cannot be predicted.
Multiple excavators and trucks will be used to construct the bank stabilization features. Imported rock and
soil materials will be delivered to temporary work platforms by truck, re-handled and then placed using
excavators. Bank stabilization work will be conducted in coordination with and at the same time as the
maintenance dredging work as each reach of channel is completed. Slight differences in construction
methods for the three types of proposed bank stabilization are summarized in the following sections.
The table below summarizes the locations and need for bank stabilization based upon field inspection and
engineering analysis.

Need for Stablllzetlon
Scour has occurred at the bridge and concrete block wall
at Logan Ave, requiring minor maintenance of concrete
block scour protection while access for equipment to
deliver and install materials is available.
1 Maintenance locations represent general areas with spot maintenance as needed. Approximately 10 percent of the tota! existing
bank armoring was identified as needing maintenance. The total for maintenance therefore represents only a subset of the lineal
length of bank included in the maintenance areas.
Maintenance
Minor maintenance of existing bank stabilization features will be performed by removing damaged and
displaced stones, Armorflex blocks, and reconstruction of small affected sections as needed to restore
continuous protection from toe to top of slope along the project reach. The work will include importing
some stones to fill gaps of displaced protection (stones and blocks), excavation, and demolition of short
portions of existing bank. To the extent possible, existing slopes and geometries will be maintained and
the footprint will not increase compared to existing conditions. Coast and Harbor Engineering has
estimated that bank stabilization maintenance work will be required throughout approximately 10 percent
of the area illustrated as 'Maintenance' on Figure 2. Upon completion of maintenance rock placement,
native grave[/cobble (obtained from dredging work) will be placed on the slopes to fill voids in the rock
where maintenance activities take place. This will reduce predator habitat and compensate for impacts
related to bank stabilization maintenance.
Repair
In repair areas where the bank stabilization will be reconstructed or replaced, bank stabilization will be
composed of angular rock placed at a 2H:1 V slope. The stabilization will be constructed as the temporary
construction berm or platform is removed. First, the existing bank stabilization will be removed and
unusable materials will be disposed of off-site. A suitable subgrade will be established using excavators.
Geotextile fabric will then be placed on the excavated slope, and small bedding stone (quarry spalls) will
then be placed on the geotextile fabric to secure it in place. Armor rock will then be placed and compacted
to form a tight fitting mass of stone working to form the toe to the top of the slope. A narrow planting bench
will be constructed at the top of the slope where space is available. Voids in the finished rock slope will be
filled with native gravel/cobble materials below OHW. A soi[/gravel mixture will also be placed on top of
the slope to provide appropriate planting areas for native herbaceous vegetation in the required vegetation
free zone (VFZ) located within 15 feet of the floodwall and levee prism. The soil/gravel mixture will be
primarily compcsed of native riverbed material from dredging operations, mixed with imported topsoil to
promote plant establishment and growth. On the left bank, from RM 0.70 to 0.79 (STA 37+20 to 41 +90),
a narrow habitaVplanting bench will be retained to provide suitable areas for establishment of inundation
tolerant riparian vegetation such as willows or other species. Plantings will be located in conformance with
guidelines for vegetation near federal levees and floodwalls (Engineers Technical Letter [ETL] 1110-2-571,
Guidelines for Landscape Planting & Vegetation Management at Levees, Floodwalls, Embankment Dams,

and Appurtenant Structures, 2009; Seattle Variance, Public Law [PL] 84-99 Levee Vegetation Management
Information Paper, 1995).
New
New bank stabilization will be constructed in a manner similar to the repair areas, except that removal of
existing bank stabilization materials will not occur. New stabilization will occur on the right bank at the toe
of the I-wall located at approximate RM 0.59 to 0.63 (STA 31 +16 to 33+00). The work area and
construction extents have been refined to minimize impacts to adjacent mature trees that provide riparian
cover and other habitat benefits. The work will occur from temporary construction platforms that span
across the river from the left bank to allow access to the work area for both excavation and construction of
the bank stabilization. Access from uplands at 6th Avenue will also be required. Platforms will be removed
upon completion of the bank stabilization and dredging.
2.3.2.3. OUTFALL REPAIRS
Numerous stormwater outfalls (both active and abandoned) are located within the project area and consist
of various sizes and types including concrete, plastic, and corrugated metal. Of these outfalls,
approximately 20 are fitted with backflow prevention devices (Tideflex® valves) to protect upland areas
against flooding.
As part of the work and in conjunction with dredging and bank stabilization, repair to damaged outfalls will
occur. Because the river has continued to accumulate sediment, some existing outfalls are buried and may
require local excavation to uncover, assess, and refit damaged backflow prevention valves and pipes.
Maintenance of existing outfalls will include in-kind replacement of existing damaged or deteriorated
systems including Tideflex® valves and sections of outfall pipe. Removal of accumulated sediment from
active outfalls may be performed as needed. It is estimated that up to 27 outfalls may require some level
of repair and maintenance. There will be no change in flow capacity to any of the repaired outfalls;
therefore, there will be no effect to listed species or their critical habitat.
Where active outfalls pass through bank stabilization (repair, maintenance, or new), modifications of the
outfall location may be required by extending or cutting off outfall pipe to match proposed site conditions.
Where damaged pipes penetrate through the existing floodwalls, replacement and refitting will occur.
Abandoned exposed outfalls extending into the river will be cut off and disposed of offsite, as feasible,
when encountered. BMPs will be implemented to isolate the repair areas and prevent pipe repair materials
from entering the water during construction. Bank stabilization is not proposed at these locations except
as specifically identified in the project drawings.
2.3.2.4. MITIGATION
Project permits obtained for the 1998 dredge included extensive mitigation for the initial construction
impacts and impacts associated with the future maintenance dredging for the life of the project, which was
anticipated on a three-year dredge cycle. Mitigation for the Lower Cedar River Section 205 Project,
including the resulting over-dredge and recurring maintenance dredging for the life of the project, has
included the following:
• 1998: Groundwater Side Channel (destroyed by Nisqually earthquake in 2001)
• 1999: Maplewood Large Wood Debris Levee Project
• 2000: Elliot Spawning Channel (damaged by floods in 2006 & 2009)
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 9
File No 0693-073-00
• 1999 -2000: Lower Cedar River riparian plantings
• 2001 to 2011: Landsburg mitigation (annual gravel supplementation, except 2008)
• 2010: Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel
• 2012: Elliot Spawning Channel repaired
The mitigation outlined above has included the following elements:
• Construction of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) spawning channels, and monitoring fish
utilization. The original Groundwater Side Channel at Ron Regis Park was supplemented with the
Elliot Spawning Channel to mitigate for one-time loss of redds resulting from the unanticipated
over-dredge that occurred during project implementation in 1998. When the Groundwater Side
Channel was destroyed in 2001, the Elliot Spawning Channel became the primary spawning side
channel required to meet the project mitigation for cyclical dredging impacts. However, the
Elliot Spawning Channel was damaged by floods over the following decade, resulting in the need to
develop the Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel, and subsequent repair of the Elliot Spawning
Channel as backup insurance against future unanticipated damages resulting from natural geomorphic
processes.
• Large woody debris (LWD) placement along an existing revetment at the Maplewood Golf Course
(USAGE undated).
• Riparian plantings, including vegetation monitoring, at the following locations:
• Right bank from South Boeing bridge to mouth (approximately 4,850 LF) .
• Left bank from Logan Ave to small aircraft hangars (approximately 3,800 LF) (USAGE, undated) .
• Stockpiling dredged gravel for future use (USAGE undated) and placement of up to 1,000 CY of gravel
per year for 10 to 15 years upstream at the Landsburgsite as a salmon spawning habitat enhancement
measure (Unknown Author, 2000).
Monitoring of the mitigation actions has occurred over a 15-year period since the 1998 dredging event
(Integrated Aquatics, 2013). Monitoring includes: documenting sockeye spawning in both the lower river
(the area affected by dredging) and the two spawning channels constructed as mitigation for project effects;
documenting salmon fry outmigration; documenting salmon utilization of bank revetment habitat
enhancement at the Maplewood Golf Course; vegetation monitoring for riparian plantings; and
documenting salmon utilization of the gravel enhancement area (Landsburg).
Additional mitigation has been designed to offset unavoidable impacts caused by the proposed upcoming
dredge cycle and associated elements (see the project Mitigation Plan, GeoEngineers, 2014a).
Proposed mitigation will include the following items:
• Native Vegetation Plantings (On site). Native vegetation will be installed in riparian and channel fringe
habitats where feasible based upon hydraulic conditions and within guidelines for vegetation along
levees and floodwalls set by USAGE. Native vegetation will be installed in the following locations: all
temporarily impacted riparian areas; along the left bank above Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in
areas outside the VFZ; along vegetated benches along the left bank below OHWM; and in selected
locations along the right bank that have been identified to benefit from additional plantings.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 10
File No. 0693-073-00
• Filling Void Space In Riprap (On site). Interstitial spaces in all bank stabilization work areas proposed
as part of the project (new, repair and maintenance) will be filled with native dredge material to reduce
voids that may harbor predatory fish species and to provide suitable substrate for riparian plantings
where appropriate.
• Lower Reach Gabion Removal (On site). Gabions exist along the right bank within Reach 1
(downstream of South Boeing Bridge). Removal of the gabions and replacement with a soft bank
bioengineered stabilization measure (composed of a rock toe, geogrid reinforced soil lifts and
plantings), is proposed to improve nearshore habitat conditions and restore bank stabilization function.
The proposed improvement work is located at RM 0.42 (STA 22+25). The work area for this mitigation
element has been carefully defined to reduce impacts to adjacent mature trees in the riparian zone.
• Spawning Channel Maintenance and Monitoring (Off site). The City will continue to maintain the
existing Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel at approximately RM 3.5, as required by the
original project 1997 EIS mitigation plan for the initial and future maintenance dredging. This will
promote ongoing functional value and continue to compensate for impacts to spawning from the
proposed maintenance project and future maintenance projects.
The City also intends to conduct maintenance of the Elliot Spawning Channel at approximately RM 4.7
to promote continued use by salmon for spawning as well as off-channel rearing habitat to mitigate for
measured channel adjustment impacts. Continued maintenance and operation beyond that point is
voluntary and will continue unless ongoing excessive maintenance is required, it is frequently damaged,
or significantly damaged in the future by floods resulting in a major or on-going need to repair or restore
the channel. As part of the current project, the City has worked with WDFW and the MIT to identify the
following actions that will be completed at the Elliot Spawning Channel (Appendix B):
•
•
•
•
Reconfigure the boulders at the upstream end of the Elliot Channel porous levee intake structure
to increase the quantity of water from the river into the channel. The feasibility of this concept
needs to be assessed in terms of the hydraulic and geomorphic factors at the site to ensure the
stability of the porous levee (intake structure) will not be structurally compromised by any of the
maintenance work proposed and the desired outcome can be achieved. The feasibility study is
currently underway and will be used to inform the maintenance activities implemented.
Remove accumulated fine sediments on the river side of the porous levee intake structure .
Remove the in-stream vegetation (primarily duck weed and filamentous algae), by hand pulling .
Retain and maintain the native vegetation while removing invasive species on the channel banks
and adjacent uplands along the entire length of the Elliot Channel.
• Lighting Impacts Reduction (On site & Off site). The City will conduct an inventory of existing
City-owned lights within the project area along the Cedar River including a 200 foot buffer on each side
up to RM 2.1 upstream of 1-405. The inventory will provide data that can be used to develop the basis
for a lighting study. The lighting study will identify City-owned lights that can be modified (direction,
bulb type, shielding, removal, etc.) to reduce negative lighting impacts on the Cedar River habitat
without compromising public safety. Study recommendations will be prioritized and implemented to
the greatest extent feasible.
• Scour Monitoring Study. A scour monitoring study utilizing scour chains with accelerometers is
currently being implemented with the following goals: (1) to evaluate bed material disturbance depths
prior to the 2015 dredging, thus defining baseline sediment transport conditions, and (2) to monitor
the magnitude, extent, and rates of bed adjustment over the two spawning/high flow seasons following
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 11
FIie No. 0693-073-00
the 2015 dredging. The City has completed the permitting and contracting and the scour chains have
been installed within the project reach for the 2014-2015 spawning and winter season. Installation of
scour chains and accelerometers has been completed and permitted through a separate process.
• Wetland Mitigation Bank Credits (Off site). The City plans to mitigate wetland impacts through use
of mitigation bank credits at the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank.
The Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank instrument was approved in August 2006.
The site was constructed in 2007-2008 and allows an alternative to on-site mitigation for private and
public projects (City or WSDOT) with wetland impacts that require mitigation per City Code to achieve a
no-net loss of wetland functions and values.
On-site mitigation will be completed using the same equipment used for dredging, bank stabilization and
other proposed work, including hand tools and manual labor as needed. Maintenance and monitoring of
spawning channels will be continued in accordance with previous approvals, including the EIS for the
project (USAGE, 1997). Wetland mitigation bank credits have already been established and no additional
construction work is proposed at the wetland mitigation site as part of this project. Additional information
regarding proposed mitigation is contained in the Cedar River Maintenance Dredging Project Mitigation
Plan (GeoEngineers, 2014a).
2.4. Sequencing
The project is proposed to be completed within one in-water work season. For this project, the in-water
work window that has been discussed with regulatory agencies is June 15 through August 31.
Equipment will be mobilized, staged and assembled prior to the start of the in-water work window to allow
full use of the approved work window. Multiple dredging and shoreline stabilization activities will run
concurrently to complete the proposed project in one season. The proposed sequencing of project activities
will be as follows:
2.4.1. June 1 through June 15, 2014
• Mobilize barges, clamshell dredges, excavators and other equipment to the site.
• Assemble barges in river without disturbing river bed.
• Establish access points above OHW.
2.4.2. June 15 through August 31, 2014
• Install erosion control devices.
• Begin dredging operations in the lower reach with approximately two clamshell dredges operated from
barges.
• Begin excavator dredging at the Williams Avenue Bridge and construct temporary berms.
• Continue dredging from Williams Avenue Bridge to Logan Avenue Bridge from temporary berms working
downstream.
• Dredge from Logan Avenue Bridge downstream to south Boeing Bridge.
• Conduct bank stabilization and outfall repair activities concurrently with dredging.
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 12
FIie No. 0693-073-00
• Install temporary access platform within area downstream of South Boeing Bridge to access the right
bank stabilization work.
• Continue dredging from land and water based equipment.
• Complete bank stabilization activities.
• Remove temporary structures and berms and conduct other cleanup activities.
• Demobilize equipment from the river.
• Install native wetland and riparian vegetation.
2.4.3. September 1 through September 15, 2014
• De-mobilization from the site.
• Site stabilization, erosion control and upland restoration.
2.4.4. Fall 2014, Spring 2015 and Ongoing Work
• Restoration plantings in areas not anticipated to be subject to high flow scour (uplands affected by
construction activities) -Fall 2014.
• Invasive species removaljcontrol -Fall 2014, Spring 2015, and annually thereafter during 10-year
monitoring period.
• Riparian plantings in areas potentially subject to scour during high flows -Spring 2015.
• Monitoring, plant maintenance and replacement -as needed during 10-year monitoring period.
To complete construction within one season, both the floating dredge and excavator methods will be
conducted simultaneously, which is anticipated to require two clamshell dredges and two excavators.
However, the construction contractor may utilize additional or fewer pieces of equipment as conditions
dictate.
2.5. Interdependent and Interrelated Actions
Interrelated actions are those that are part of a larger action and depend on the larger action for their
justification. Interdependent actions are those that have no independent utility apart from the action being
considered.
For the purposes of discussion, proposed bank stabilization work, outfall repairs and on-site mitigation
actions (riparian plantings, gabion removal, and filling void spaces in riprap) are considered part of the
proposed action. Off-site mitigation, on the other hand, may be classified as interdependent or interrelated.
Two off-site mitigation spawning channels are currently in place to compensate for the previous dredging
activities and routine maintenance dredging, such as the current proposal. The mitigation spawning
channels consist of off-channel salmonid spawning and rearing habitat located approximately four miles
upstream on the Cedar River (Figure 1). The City will continue to maintain these previously constructed
spawning channels, within limits as described in Section 2.3.2.4, as approved in the original project EIS
(USACE, 1997) to promote ongoing functional value. Maintenance actions, if needed, may be subject to
independent Section 7 consultation if they deviate significantly from what was approved already in the EIS;
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 13
File No. 0693 073-00
potential impacts of future maintenance actions are not addressed in this BA. Specific maintenance
actions currently proposed at the Elliot Spawning Channel are described in Section 2.3.2.4.
The lighting impacts study and corresponding implementation of study recommendations will take place
within the built environment and is not anticipated to have environmental effects beyond its purpose, which
is to reduce the effects of artificial ambient light on native fish, including salmon ids. Therefore, no further
analysis of the impact of this proposed element is necessary in this BA.
The initial installation of scour chains and accelerometers associated with the Scour Monitoring Study has
been completed and was permitted through a separate process.
Wetland mitigation will be accomplished through allocation of existing wetland mitigation bank credits from
the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank site. This site has already been permitted and
developed by the City, in cooperation with WSDOT, and no new construction activities are proposed as part
of the planned action.
2.6. Conservation Measures and Best Management Practices
Thefollowingsections include Conservation Measures and BMPs proposed to reduce environmental effects
of the maintenance dredging project.
2.6.1. General Measures
• A detailed Dredging and Dredged Material Handling Plan will be developed by the Contractor and
submitted to the project engineer for review and approval prior to the start of construction. The Plan
will include descriptions of project-specific work equipment, activities and approaches, and the
corresponding BMPs and water quality protection measures that will be implemented for conformance
with the permit requirements and conservation measures outlined herein.
• Contractor and subcontractors will be required to attend a pre-dredge conference with the City and the
regulatory agencies to discuss their work plan and conditions of the regulatory permits.
• Construction entrance protection will be provided at each of the access locations in accordance with
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) Standard BMP #C105.
• Catch basins within the vicinity of the work area will be protected with inserts in accordance with
Ecology Standard BMP #C220. This will include areas that receive stormwater runoff from proposed
access locations, re-handling sites, upland receiving sites and within the project area limits.
• Street sweeper(s) will be required to be onsite for use on days when material or equipment is
transported from the river channel work area onto the airport frontage road or City streets. The sweeper
will be responsible for removing sand and gravel inadvertently transported onto the roadways. Water
trucks will be available when needed for dust control.
• Debris obtained from the excavation work will be removed from the project area and disposed of at an
approved upland location. Large wood debris (wood greater than 1 foot in diameter and 15 feet long)
will be placed back into the river at appropriate locations or along the nearby lake shoreline.
• New bank stabilization and gabion removal elements have been refined to minimize impacts to mature
trees within the riparian zone.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 14
Ale No. 0693·073-00
2.6.2. Measures to Protect Water Quality
• The Contractor will be responsible for the preparation of a Spill, Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure (SPCC) plan to be used for the duration of the project. The SPCC plan will be submitted
to and approved by the project engineer prior to the commencement of any construction activities.
A copy of the SPCC plan with any updates will be maintained at the work site by the Contractor.
The SPCC plan will provide advanced planning for potential spill sources and hazardous materials
(gasoline, oils, chemicals, etc.) that the Contractor may encounter or utilizes as part of conducting the
work. The SPCC plan will outline roles and responsibilities, notifications, inspection, and response
protocols.
• Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared as required to meet applicable NPDES
permit requirements.
• Clean stormwater will be diverted away from excavation and stockpile areas, and BMPs compliant with
applicable portions of the Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington
(Ecology, 2005), City of Renton, and the King County Surface Water Design Manual (KC DNR, 2009)
will be installed/followed.
• A water quality monitoring plan will be developed prior to the start of construction. The following BMPs
will be followed during all construction efforts:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Water quality standards and procedures that limit water quality impacts to a defined zone of
compliance will be observed.
All upland drainage will be collected through an effective system of berms, according to the
Contractor's approved SWPPP; stormwater runoff will not interact with the excavated shoreline.
Vegetable/biodegradable oil will be used in the hydraulic lines/systems of equipment used near/on
the riverbank and within the river channel.
Any discharge of oil, fuel, or chemicals into state waters is prohibited .
Fuel hoses, oil drums, oil or fuel transfer valves and fittings, etc. shall be checked regularly for drips
or leaks and shall be maintained and stored properly to prevent spills into state waters.
Proper security shall also be maintained to prevent vandalism.
Corrective actions will be taken in the event of any discharge of oil, fuel, or chemicals into the water,
including:
• In the event of a spill, containment and cleanup efforts will begin immediately and be
completed as soon as possible, taking precedence over normal work. Cleanup will include
proper disposal of any spilled material and used cleanup material.
• The cause of the spill shall be assessed, and appropriate action shall be taken to prevent
further incidents or environmental damage.
• Spills and/or conditions resulting in distressed or dying fish shall be reported immediately to
Ecology's Northwest Regional Spill Response Office at 206.649 7000 (a 24-hour phone
number). Spills of oil or hazardous materials also shall be reported immediately to the National
Response Center at 800.424.8802 and the Washington Emergency Management Division at
800.258.5990 or 800.0ILS.911.
• Turbidity and other water quality parameters will be monitored to ensure construction activities are in
compliance with Washington State Surface Water Quality Standards, or other conditions as specified
in the Ecology Water Quality Certification (WQC). City and the Contractor will observe turbidity during
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 15
File No. 0693-073-00
dredging operations in order to ensure compliance with WQC requirements. Appropriate BMPs will be
employed to minimize sediment loss and turbidity generation during dredging, re-handling, and
dewatering. Monitoring results will be submitted weekly to Ecology.
• Special in-channel excavation methods will be employed to ensure the protection of water quality.
This will include preventative measures such as constructing the temporary berm sloping down away
from the channel to facilitate drainage, dewatering of dredged material, and infiltration to reduce the
volume of water returned directly into the river.
• A floating debris boom will be installed across the Cedar River outlet to Lake Washington at two
locations in an alternating pattern to allow passage of flow and aquatic organisms. A floating silt curtain
will be utilized, if necessary, to meet water quality requirements based on the results of water quality
monitoring work conducted throughout the duration of construction.
• Upland soil disturbed by the project will be stabilized in accordance with standard BMPs as outlined in
the Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. A detailed Upland Erosion &
Sediment Control Plan will be developed by the Contractor and submitted to the project engineer for
review and approval prior to the start of construction. The Plan will include descriptions of
project-specific work equipment, activities and approaches, and the corresponding BMPs and
Water Quality Protection measures that will be implemented for conformance with the permit
requirements and conservation measures outlined herein.
2.6.3. In-Water Work
• In-water work is proposed to occur during the time period of June 15 to August 31. No in-water work
will occur outside of the designated work window to be protective of juvenile and adult salmonid
migration.
• In-water dredging work would occur during daylight hours to protect aquatic organisms.
Rehandling, loading, hauling and other work activities above the water surface would occur during
daylight and non-daylight hours in accordance with local and state noise restriction ordinances.
• Daily monitoring of the dredge prism through a combination of hydrographic surveying and electronic
dredge positioning system techniques will ensure material removed will be limited to that shown on the
plans. Dredging operations will be conducted in such a manner to limit disturbance to the minimum
area required to complete the work.
• Dredging operations will utilize equipment appropriate to the site conditions to minimize turbidity and
other possible adverse impacts, including using as large a bucket as possible and minimizing dragging
of the bucket on the bed.
• For floating barge operations, the material barge will be managed such that the dredged sediment load
does not exceed the capacity of the barge. Filter fabric or other appropriate BMPs will be placed over
the barge scuppers to help filter suspended sediment from the return water prior to discharge back
into the river. Sediment control measures will be maintained by the Contractor at all times, with any
problems identified by the engineer repaired immediately by the Contractor.

3.0 PROJECT ACTION AREA
The action area is defined as "all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the federal action and not
merely the immediate area involved in the action" (50 CFR §402-02). The action area, therefore, includes
the spatial extent of all direct and indirect effects, as well as effects of interrelated and interdependent
activities of the project. Project-specific effects that need to be taken into account to define the action area
for the project include:
• Operation of construction equipment (including in-water work);
• Construction-related noise;
• Habitat alteration; and
• Impacts to water quality.
Each of these effects will occur within discrete zones of influence, which may differ. The overall action area
is the geographic extent of all project effects, which is the combination of all zones of influence. Figure 2
shows the overall action area for the project. Methods used to identify each zone of influence are discussed
in the following sections.
3.1. Operation of Construction Equipment
During construction operations, equipment will operate in natural habitat areas potentially utilized by
ESA-listed species. Species occupying the following habitat areas, if present, could be affected as a result
of interaction with construction equipment and/or construction materials:
• Cedar River (below OHWM), including operation of dredging equipment (excavator/clamshell buckets),
operation and anchoring of barges, construction of temporary construction unloading platforms
(including potential vibratory driving of sheet or other pile types), construction of temporary construction
berms and re-handling areas, bank work at the channel margin (including proposed bank stabilization
and mitigation actions), outfall repairs, and spawning channel maintenance items such as
reconfiguring boulders and removing accumulated sediments (other spawning channel maintenance
items will be completed without the use of heavy equipment).
• Riparian Area (above OHWM), including construction of access points, temporary unloading platforms,
temporary construction berms and re-handling areas, and bank work.
Construction equipment has the potential to have direct effects on listed species occupying habitats in
which the equipment will operate. The zone of influence for these effects is the entire dredge reach within
the Cedar River channel, which is from RM Oto RM 1.23, as well as within the riparian zone along both
hanks of the river where construction access is proposed.
3.2. Construction-Related Noise
The project will result in increased noise during daylight hours for the duration of the construction activity.
There may be some auxiliary work that continues at night beyond daylight hours, such as truck-loading and
hauling, but this would not include any work in or over water, or on the banks of the river. There will be an
increase in noise from ambient conditions in the project vicinity during the operation of dredging machinery
and support equipment. These activities will require the use of heavy machinery. Heavy machinery includes
earth-moving equipment such as excavators, front end loaders, haul trucks and other equipment,
potentially including a vibratory pile driver.
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 17
File No. 0693-073-00
The loudest equipment that may be used during construction would be a vibratory pile driver.
This equipment may generate noise both in the air above the water level, as well as underwater. Zones of
influence for in-air and underwater noise are discussed separately in the following sections.
3.2.1. In-Air Noise
According to the WSDOT Biological Assessment Manual (2013), the vibratory pile driver generates noise
levels in the air up to 101 dBA at a distance of 50 feet from the equipment. Impact pile driving is not
anticipated because sheet piles are temporary, will not bear vertical loads, and are therefore not expected
to be proofed as part of this project.
The project area is located adjacent to Renton Municipal Airport. The WSDOT BA Manual (2013) identifies
jet takeoff to generate noise levels of up to 120 dBA at a distance of 200 feet and regular noise intrusions
from traffic and aircraft overflights to generate noise levels between 45 and 72 dBA. This site is
immediately adjacent to the airport and surrounded by heavy urban traffic; therefore, a relatively
conservative noise level of 70 dBA was selected for ambient background noise at the site.
Although there is a narrow riparian buffer (more significant on the east bank) and some grassy areas on
both sides of the river, the project surroundings are generally dominated by buildings, paved surfaces, and
water (Lake Washington), creating a "hard site'' (WSDOT, 2013). The standard in-air noise reduction factor
for hard sites is 6 dBA per doubling of the distance from point-source construction noise (WSDOT, 2013).
The following table identifies the distances as which the point-source construction noise will attenuate to
ambient noise levels.

As identified in the table above, project construction noise is anticipated to attenuate to ambient levels at
a distance slightly more than 1,600 feet from the project area. To refine this estimate and predict the
specific distance at which equipment noise levels fall below ambient noise levels, we used the following
equation:
Where,
D = Distance to attenuation;
Do = Reference distance (50 feet);
N, = Construction noise level at reference distance (estimated to be 101 dBA);
Nb= Ambient noise level (estimated to be 70 dBA); and
ex = 20 for soft sites.
According to this analysis, the distance at which construction equipment-related noise would attenuate to
background conditions is 1,774 feet, or approximately 0.34 miles. Figure 2 includes the in-air noise extents
of the proposed project within the overall project action area.
3.2.2. Underwater Noise
The project may generate underwater noise during construction as a result of: vibratory installation of sheet
piles that may be used during construction of temporary platforms for offloading dredge material (Reach 1);
operation of small boats to position floating equipment (Reach 1); and operation of other equipment
working below the water line at the time of construction (Reaches 1-3). Although use of sheet piles is not
definite, it is included as a worst-case scenario for identifying the zone of influence for underwater noise
generated in Reach 1. Operation of boats in Reach 1 would result in less extensive propagation of sound
than vibratory pile driving. Operation of other dredge equipment (primarily excavators) in Reaches 1-3
would be localized to actual construction areas and will not permeate beyond the work area.
(Although buckets of dredge equipment may operate within the water, engines and tracked components of
excavators would not enter below the water line.)
Ambient sound levels in larger slow-moving rivers, which are representative of typical conditions in the lower
Cedar River near its mouth, are estimated at 135 decibels, expressed as a root mean square pressure level
(dBRMs), according to a study by Laughlin (cited in WSDOT, 2013). Vibratory installation of sheet piles will
likely generate underwater noise levels of approximately 160 dBRMs (lllinworth and Rodkin, 2007).
A practical spreading loss model developed by WSDOT (2013) was used to estimate the distance
underwater noise will permeate the riverine environment surrounding the location of pile driving. Using this
model and the noise parameters specified above, vibratory pile driving noise is expected to attenuate to
ambient conditions (135 dBRMS) at approximately 1,500 feet from locations where vibratory pile driving may
take place. Construction platforms are proposed at approximate STAs 8+00, 14+00, and 16+50.
Noise generated by pile driving would therefore extend within the river between these stations, downstream
from STA 8+00 to the mouth of the Cedar River and out into Lake Washington approximately 700 feet, and
upstream from STA 16+50 to STA 31 +50 (1,500 feet), which is below South Boeing Bridge approximately
in line with N. 6th Ave. Underwater noise extending into Lake Washington would be directionally limited by
the banks of the Cedar River and therefore expected to extend directly out into the lake and would not bend
around to follow the shoreline (see Figure 2). Underwater noise may also be generated locally throughout
GEOENGINEERu:;;7 December 9, 2014 Page 19

the remainder of the dredge area (Reaches 1-3), but is not expected to extend upstream of the dredge
reach.
3.3. Habitat Alteration
Habitat alteration will result from the proposed dredging activities as well as equipment access
requirements, proposed bank stabilization, restoration and mitigation activities. The zone of influence of
habitat alteration resulting from project activities includes:
• The Cedar River channel, including:
•
•
•
RM O (STA 0+00) to RM 1.23 (STA 64+38), resulting from effects of dredging;
RM 1.2 (STA 61 +00) up to RM 1.6 (STA 84+00), resulting from effects of some channel adjustment
that may occur in the year following dredging;
RM 4. 7 (approximately), resulting from reconfiguration of boulders, removal of accumulated
sediment, and removal of aquatic vegetation at the Elliot Channel (Appendix B).
• The riparian zone above OHW, including:
•
•
•
•
portions of the left bank and associated riparian zone between RM 0.15 (STA 8+00) and RM 1.12
(STA 59+00), resulting from effects of equipment access and bank stabilization activities;
a small area on the right bank between RM 0.59 (STA 31 +16) and RM 0.63 (STA 33+00) where
new stabilization is proposed;
Select locations along the right bank between RM 0.02 (STA 1+00) and RM 0.93 (STA 49+00)
where additional mitigation plantings are proposed; and
100 feet of the right bank centered at RM 0.42 (STA 22+25) where existing gabion baskets will be
removed and replaced with a bioengineered bank treatment.
The effects of the project contributing to habitat alteration in these areas are explained in further detail in
the following sections.
3.3.1. Dredging
Dredging will alter the river bed within the entire project area to varying degrees. Habitat alteration from
dredging will result from removal of substrate throughout the 1.23-mile dredge reach, and alteration of flow
velocities and water depth in the lowest reach of the river, which is estimated to occur from RM 0.33
(STA 17 +50) to RM 0.64 (STA 34+00), resulting in an increase in lake-like conditions extending further
upstream from the mouth of the river at Lake Washington than it currently does. Lacustrine conditions
currently extend upstream from the mouth of the river to approximately RM 0.33 (STA 17+50).
After dredging has been conducted, these conditions will exlend up lo RM 0.64 (STA 34+00).
3.3.2. Channel Adjustment
Channel adjustment (head-@tting) that may occur in the year following dredging is anticipated to extend
approximately 0.44 miles (2,300 feet) upstream from a pivot point that will occur within the transition zone.
This effect is anticipated to be less dramatic than what was observed following the 1998 dredge due to
engineering controls that will be in place to avoid over-dredging and adherence to the design slope within
the transition zone. Substrate is anticipated to be mobilized within this zone during the first year following
dredging resulting in degradation of 1 to 2 feet. This will occur from approximate RM 1.2 (STA 61 +00) up
to RM 1.6 (STA 84+00), which is approximately at the Houser Way bridge.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 20
File No. 0693-073-00
3.3.3. Equipment Access and Bank Stabilization
Equipment access and bank stabilization activities will result in habitat alteration along the banks of the
Cedar River, including those resulting from vegetation clearing, installation of rock and other structural
materials, and revegetation. Bank stabilization is concentrated on the left bank including portions of the
banks and associated riparian zone between RM 0.15 (STA8+00) and RM 1.12 (STA 59+00). A small area
on the right bank will also be affected where new stabilization is proposed between RM 0.59 (STA 31 +16)
and RM 0.63 (STA 33+00). Habitat alteration in these areas extends between 20 and 40 feet into the
riparian zone above OHW.
3.3.4. Riparian Plantings and Other Mitigation
Riparian plantings are proposed in all areas affected by equipment access and bank stabilization
(see above). Additional mitigation plantings are proposed at select locations along the right bank between
RM 0.02 (STA 1 +00) and RM 0.93 (STA 49+00). Gabion removal is another mitigation action that is
proposed spanning 100 feet of bank centered at RM 0.42 (STA 22+25). The gabion removal area will be
bioengineered and planted.
The Elliot Channel will be maintained to improve its performance as a suitable spawning side channel for
sockeye salmon. Maintenance actions are detailed in Section 2.3.2.4 and will result in improvements to
off-channel habitat resulting from reconfiguration of the porous levee, removal of accumulated sediments
on both sides of the porous levee intake structure, and removal of aquatic vegetation in the channel (see
also Appendix B).
3.4. Impacts to Water Quality
Cedar River and Lake Washington water quality will temporarily be affected by increased turbidity during
construction activities. Other water quality parameters, such as elevated temperature, dissolved oxygen,
or pollutant levels are not anticipated to be affected with proper implementation of BMPs. For example,
the potential release of contaminants from construction equipment will be prevented through proper
installation and maintenance of BMPs as part of an approved SPCC plan. Dredge material characterization
has not revealed contaminants that could be re-suspended during dredging and potentially harm fish
species (GeoEngineers, 2014b). Turbidity impacts to the river and lake will also be controlled to the extent
feasible by implementing construction stormwater BMPs defined in a CSWPPP. However, it will not be
possible to completely prevent elevated turbidity levels during construction.
Estimated flow volume of the Cedar River during the construction period is between 150 and 300 cubic
feet per second (cfs). Measured discharge ranged from less than 200 cfs to over 2,000 cfs during a 1-year
period between November 2012 and November 2013, with the highest discharges measured in April 2013
(USGS, 2013). According to the State of Washington Water Quality Standards in Washington Administrative
Code (WAC) 173-201A-200(1)(i), the standard allowable temporary area of mixing during and immediately
after in-water construction activities is 300 feet downstream from the activity causing the turbidity for
riverine waters with flows over 100 cfs, and is 150 feet for lakes. Due to the scale and extent of the
proposed dredging project, which will involve multiple pieces of machinery operated simultaneously in
different parts of the river, the 300-foot river mixing zone will not be sufficient; therefore, a custom mixing
zone will be applied to this project. The custom mixing zone will be requested from Ecology in accordance
with WAC 173-201A-410. The proposed point of compliance will be 300 feet into Lake Washington as
measured from the North Boeing Bridge. The point of compliance is not proposed at 150 feet into the lake
GEOENGINEER~ December9,2014 Page21
File No. 0693-073-00
because significant hydraulic flow from the river into the lake results in conditions at the mouth that are
not representative of typical lacustrine environments. It is anticipated that water quality beyond the
compliance point will remain within 5 nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs) over background if background
levels are 50 NTUs or less, or less than a 10 percent increase in turbidity if background levels exceed
50 NTUs, in accordance with WAC 173-201A-200(1)(e) and Table 200(1)(e). Compliance with these
standards will be monitored during construction as specified in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit and 401 Water Quality Certification.
The zone of influence for temporary construction impacts to water quality arising from elevated turbidity
during work in and adjacent to the river is therefore estimated to be within the river channel for the
1.23-mile project reach and extending into Lake Washington approximately 300 feet.
3.5. Alteration of Food Webs or Predatory/Prey Dynamics
The project is not likely to have measurable effects on prey availability for listed species. The potential
impacts are limited to temporary relocation of populations of juvenile salmonids and/or benthic
invertebrates within the dredge reach that are prey for salmonids. Listed species are not expected to be
within the dredge reach during construction and therefore will not be impacted by the temporary relocation
of prey. These prey species are expected to return to the dredge reach in similar numbers as existing once
dredging is complete.
3.6. Action Area Summary
The zones of influence for each project impact are summarized as follows:
• Operation of construction equipment will be limited to the 1.23-mile dredge reach and adjacent banks
where construction access and material re-handling are proposed, as well as in limited locations in the
vicinity of the Elliot Spawning Side Channel (RM 4.7).
• Project-related in-air noise will permeate the environment for up to 1,774 feet (0.34 miles) in the air
surrounding the project site during project construction.
• Project-related underwater noise will permeate the entire dredge reach (Reaches 1-3) and may extend
up to 700 feet into Lake Washington in a direct line from the mouth of the Cedar River.
• Habitat alteration will occur: within the river channel for the entire dredge reach from the mouth to
RM 1.23 (STA 64+38), resulting from removal of substrate and associated benthic invertebrate
communities which affects quality of rearing habitat but does not affect suitability for spawning; within
the river channel between RM 0.33 (STA 17+50) to RM 0.64 (STA 34+00), resulting from changes to
flow velocity and depth resulting in an increase in lacustrine conditions in the lower river; within the
river channel between RM 1.2 (STA 61 +00) up to RM 1.6 (STA 84+00), resulting from potential channel
adjustment following dredging; along portions of the left bank and associated riparian zone between
RM 0.15 (STA 8+00) and RM 1.12 (STA 59+00), resulting from effects of equipment access and bank
stabilization activities, and associated restoration; along a small area on the right bank between
RM 0.59 (STA 31+16) and RM 0.63 (STA 33+00) where new stabilization is proposed; in select
locations along the right bank between RM 0.02 (STA 1 +00) and RM 0.93 (STA 49+00) where
additional mitigation plantings are proposed; along a 100-foot section of the right bank centered at
RM 0.42 (STA 22+25) where existing gabion baskets will be removed and replaced with a
bioengineered bank treatment; and at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel (RM 4.7) where select habitat
improvements are proposed (Appendix B).
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 22
File No. 0693-073-00
• Temporary impacts to water quality from construction activities will occur within the river channel of
the 1.23-mile dredge reach and will extend into Lake Washington approximately 300 feet. Any increase
in turbidity resulting from post-project channel adjustment is anticipated to be within the normal range
for high-flow events and will, therefore, not represent an increase over baseline conditions.
• Potential impacts to salmon populations that could alter predator-prey relationships are highly unlikely
and would be temporary and limited to the lower Cedar River within the dredge reach.
The zones of influence corresponding to dredging activities, habitat alteration, water quality impacts, and
potential alteration of predator-prey relationships are primarily contained within the zone of influence for
project-related noise. Head-cutting upstream to Houser Way extends approximately 100 feet beyond the
noise impact area. Therefore, the overall action area is represented by the extent of construction-related
in-air noise, which is up to 1,774 feet (0.34 miles) from the site, and includes an additional approximately
100 feet of the Cedar River channel upstream of the in-air noise zone. The overall action area is shown on
Figure 2.
4.0 SPECIES AND HABITAT INFORMATION
We identified the possible presence of listed species and critical habitat in the general project vicinity by
compiling data provided by the USFWS (2013a, 2014a), NMFS (2012), and WDFW (2013a).
Official species lists are presented in Appendix C. NMFS identifies the Puget Sound Distinct Population
Segment (DPS) of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and the Puget Sound Evolutionarily Significant Unit
(ESU) of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) as listed species (threatened) which are potentially
present in tributaries of Puget Sound, including the Cedar River and its tributaries (NMFS, 2012).
Critical habitat has been designated for Chinook salmon and has been proposed but not yet designated for
steelhead. The USFWS provides species lists by county, which identify listed species potentially present in
a given county. We used the USFWS list for King County. Table 3 below provides a summary of all listed
species and designated critical habitat identified by these agencies to occur in King County.

but it does not occur anywhere in King County; N/A indicates that critical habitat has not been designated or proposed for the species.
4.1. Occurrence of Listed Species in the Action Area
Not all the species listed in Table 3 are likely to be present in the action area. The ESA status, habitat
requirements and life histories of listed threatened, endangered and proposed species that may occur in
the action area are summarized in Appendix C. Actual species utilization and potential for occurrence in
the action area for each species included in Table 3 are discussed in more detail below.
4.1.1. Mammals
4.1.1.1. GRAY WOLF
Gray wolves are wide ranging and will occupy a variety of habitat types with no apparent preference for one
type or another. They tend to be present in areas with few roads, low human presence and abundant prey
bases. A minimum of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 square miles of contiguous habitat with low road
density may be required to support a viable population. Gray wolves are reported to be rare in Washington
and they are considered critically imperiled (i.e., at very high risk of extinction because of extreme rarity,
very steep declines or other factors) (NatureServe, 2013). Their range in the state of Washington is
restricted to mountainous areas north of Interstate 90, with the edge of the nearest confirmed pack range
(based on telemetry data from collared wolves) approximately 38 miles east of the project site
(WDFW, 2013c). PHS data does not indicate their presence in the action area (WDFW, 2013a). The action
area does not contain habitat for this species due to the lack of suitable forested areas and the presence
of urban human activities. Therefore, gray wolves are not expected to occur in the action area.
4.1.1.2. CANADA LYNX
Canada lynx also use a wide variety of habitat types though they are generally limited in the
Pacific Northwest by prey availability (snowshoe hares), which are limited to early successional lodgepole
pine forests (NatureServe, 2013). In Washington, the majority of Canada lynx occurrences were found
above 4,100 feet elevation in Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir forests (71 FR 66007). Canada lynx are
considered critically imperiled in the state of Washington (NatureServe, 2013), and PHS data does not
record their presence in the action area (WDFW, 2013a). The action area does not contain habitat for this
species due to the lack of suitable forested areas or snowshoe hare populations and the presence of urban
human activities. Therefore, Canada lynx are not expected to occur in the action area.
4.1.1.3. GRIZZLY BEAR
Grizzly bears also occupy a wide range of habitats, and their diet is general and opportunistic, varying
through seasons. Prominent threats to grizzly bears include encroachment of their habitat by motorized
vehicles and habitat fragmentation. Grizzly bears may be present in the North Cascades area of
north-central Washington and in the Selkirk Mountains in northeastern Washington. The North Cascades
population is estimated at less than 20 bears (USFWS, 2007). These mountainous areas are more than
70 miles away from the project site. The action area does not contain habitat for this species due to the
GeoENGtNEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 24
File No. 0693-073-00
lack of suitable forested areas and the presence of urban human activities. Therefore, grizzly bears are not
expected to occur in the action area.
4.1.2. Birds
4.1.2.1. MARBLED MURRELET
Marbled murrelet foraging occurs in marine waters and nesting occurs in old growth and mature forests.
The closest designated critical habitat for the marbled murrelet occurs approximately 25 miles east of the
action area for the project (USFWS, 2013b). The action area does not contain habitat for this species due
to the lack of marine foraging areas or old growth forest nesting areas. Therefore, marbled murrelets are
not expected to occur in the action area.
4.1.2.2. NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL
Northern spotted owls generally inhabit mature or old-growth forested habitats that contain complex
structural characteristics. Typical habitat characteristics found in suitable habitat for spotted owls include:
high canopy closure; a multi-layered, multi-species canopy dominated by large overstory trees; a high
incidence of large trees with large cavities, broken tops and other indications of decadence; numerous
large snags; heavy accumulations of logs and other woody debris on the forest floor; and considerable open
space within and beneath the canopy (Thomas et al., 1990). The action area does not contain habitat for
this species due to the lack of intact mature or old-growth forest areas. Therefore, spotted owls are not
expected to occur in the action area.
4.1.2.3. STREAKED HORNED LARK
This species typically utilizes open spaces dominated by grasses and other herbaceous vegetation, such
as native prairies, coastal dunes, agricultural fields and other grass fields such as those found around
airports (USFWS, 2014b). Although the Renton Municipal Airport is immediately adjacent to the site, it
contains only mowed grass areas not including any areas of herbaceous native vegetation or native prairies
that would be suitable for streaked horned larks. Because the Action Area does not include any native
habitat types that would be suitable for streaked horned larks, and critical habitat does not occur near the
project (USFWS, 2013b), streaked horned larks are not expected to occur within the Action Area.
4.1.2.4. YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO
The Western DPS of yellow-billed cuckoo inhabits riparian zones with dense cottonwood and willow stands.
Cuckoos general prefer large tracts of riparian forest with dense understory. The western yellow-billed
cuckoo nests almost exclusively in forested riparian stands of 50 acres or more and are extremely rare in
Washington (78 FR 61633). The main portion of the action area associated with dredging includes riparian
habitat containing willows, cottonwoods and understory shrubs. However, riparian habitats within the
dredge reach are limited to small, narrow strips along the Cedar River. well under 50 acres in size, and
surrounded by urban development. Riparian areas of suitable size for yellow-billed cuckoo occur east of
1-405 along the Cedar River, including in the vicinity of the Elliot Spawning Channel. However, proposed
critical habitat does not occur within the Action Area (USFWS, 2013b) and there have been no sightings in
this area.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 25
File No. 0693-073-00
4.1.3. Amphibians
4.L3.1. OREGON SPOTTEO FROG
According to the WDFW PHS maps there are no Oregon spotted frog sightings within the vicinity of the
project (WDFW, 2013a). This species typically prefers marsh habitats in or adjacent to perennial
waterbodies that have reliable water levels, are around 9 acres in size and have an absence of predators
(USFWS 2014c). There is no native marsh habitat within the Action Area, and side channel wetland habitats
associated with the Cedar River are smaller than 9 acres and contain fish populations that would result in
heavy predation on frogs (including larval tadpoles and eggs). Proposed critical habitat for this species has
not been identified in the Action Area (USFWS, 2013b). Because potential suitable habitat for
Oregon spotted frogs is essentially absent in the Action Area, this species is not expected to occur.
4.1.4. Plants
4.1.4.1. GOLOEN PAINTBRUSH
Golden paintbrush is rare and there are currently no known locations in King County (NatureServe, 2013).
Historically, this species was found west of the Cascade Mountain range from southern British Columbia to
central Oregon. The DNR's WNHP database (DNR, 2011) does not identify any known occurrences of this
plant in the action area. Therefore, golden paintbrush is not expected to occur within the action area.
4.1.5. Fish
4.1.5.1. CHINOOK SALMON
The Puget Sound ESU for Chinook salmon includes those stocks in tributaries of Puget Sound westward to
the Elwha River. Spawning occurs in late summer and fall. The Cedar River is known to contain a native
stock of Chinook salmon with wild reproduction (WDFW, 2002a). Chinook salmon spawning is documented
in the project area; over 14 years of data collection by the City (2000-2013; unpublished data), only two
Chinook redds have been observed in the reach below South Boeing Bridge, 3 redds between South Boeing
Bridge and the upstream dredge limits (approximately at Williams Avenue bridge), and 3 redds in the reach
between Williams Avenue and Houser Way that may be subject to channel adjustment following dredging.
Data collected by Seattle Public Utilities, WDFW, and King County Department of Natural Resources
(Burton et al., 2011) from 1999 to 2010 show similar results, with only 1 redd below RM 1, and 11 redds
between RM 1 and 2. Rearing is documented downstream to the mouth of the river at Lake Washington
(WDFW, 2013a; 2013b). Therefore, Chinook salmon are expected to occur in the Cedar River within the
action area.
4.1.5.2. STEELHEAD
The Puget Sound DPS of steelhead includes winter-and summer-run steelhead in the river basins of the
Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, and Hood Canal, Washington, bounded to the west by the Elhwa River
and to the north by the Nooksack River and Dakota Creek, both of which are included in the DPS
(71 FR 15666). The Cedar River is known to contain a native stock of winter steelhead trout with
wild reproduction (WDFW, 2002b). The project reach of the Cedar River is documented as winter steel head
rearing habitat (WDFW, 2013a; 2013b). However, steelhead are known not to spawn in the Cedar River
below 1-405 (pers. comm., Aaron Bosworth, District Biologist, WDFW, June 23, 2014). Therefore, Puget
Sound steelhead are expected to occur in the Cedar River within the action area.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 26
File No. 0693-073-00
4.1.5.3. BULL TROUT
Coastal/Puget Sound DPS bull trout occur within marine areas and freshwater streams of King County.
Native bull trout are present in some reaches of the Cedar River and Lake Washington (WDFW, 2013a;
2013b), although in 20 years of data collection, WDFW has never caught one in their rotary screw trap in
the lower river, within the project reach (Kiyohara, pers. comm.). Nonetheless, bull trout may occur in the
Cedar River within the action area and are therefore addressed in this BA.
4.2. Occurrence of Critical Habitat in the Action Area
The following critical habitat has been designated for the species and is present within the action area:
• Chinook salmon, and
• Bull trout.
The following critical habitat has been designated or proposed for the species but is not present within the
action area. Therefore, critical habitat for the following species will not be addressed in this BA:
• Gray wolf,
• Canada lynx,
• Grizzly bear,
• Marbled murrelet,
• Northern spotted owl,
• Streaked horned lark,
• Yellow-billed cuckoo, and
• Oregon spotted frog.
The following proposed critical habitat is present within the action area:
• Steelhead trout.
Critical habitat has not been designated for the following species:
• Golden paintbrush.
4.2.1. Primary Constituent Elements of Chinook Salmon Crltlcal Habitat
Primary Constituent Elements (PCEs) for Chinook salmon (70 FR 52630) include:
1. Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity and quality conditions and substrate supporting
spawning, incubation and larval development;
2. Freshwater rearing sites with water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form and maintain physical
habitat conditions and support juvenile growth and mobility; water quality and forage supporting
juvenile development; and natural cover such as shade, submerged and overhanging large wood, log
jams and beaver dams, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels and undercut
banks;
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 27
File No. 0693·073-00
3. Freshwater migration corridors free of obstruction with water quantity and quality conditions and
natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and
boulders, side channels, and undercut banks supporting juvenile and adult mobility and survival;
4. Estuarine areas free of obstruction with water quality, water quantity and salinity conditions supporting
juvenile and adult physiological transitions between fresh and saltwater; natural cover such as
submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, and side
channels; and juvenile and adult forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth
and maturation;
5. Near-shore marine areas free of obstruction with water quality and quantity conditions and forage,
including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation; and natural cover such
as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, and side
channels; and
6. Offshore marine areas with water quality conditions and forage, including aquatic invertebrates and
fishes, supporting growth and maturation.
The project action area includes freshwater specific PCEs (PCEs 1, 2 and 3) for Chinook salmon.
The Cedar River within the action area supports spawning, rearing and migration for Chinook salmon and
other salmonids, although Chinook spawning is naturally limited in this reach. The project site does not
contain marine areas; therefore, PCEs 4, 5 and 6 are not present within the action area.
4.2.2. Primary Constituent Elements of Bull Trout Critical Habitat
Lake Washington is designated as critical habitat for bull trout. The lower Cedar River, however, is not
designated as bull trout critical habitat. Primary Constituent Elements (PCEs) for bull trout (75 FR 63898)
include:
1. Springs, seeps, groundwater sources, and subsurface water connectivity (hyporehic flows) to contribute
to water quality and quantity and provide thermal refugia;
2. Migratory habitats with minimal physical, biological, or water quality impediments between spawning,
rearing, overwintering, and freshwater and marine foraging habitats, including, but not limited to
permanent, partial, intermittent or seasonal barriers;
3. An abundant food base, including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin, aquatic macroinvertebrates,
and forage fish;
4. Complex river, stream, lake, reservoir, and marine shoreline aquatic environments and processes with
features such as large wood, side channels, pools, undercut banks and substrates, to provide a variety
of depths, gradients, velocities, and structure;
5. Water temperatures ranging from 2 to 15 °C (36 to 59 ° F), with adequate thermal refugia available
for temperatures at the upper end of this range. Specific temperatures within this range will vary
depending on bull trout life-history stage and form; geography; elevation; diurnal and seasonal
variation; shade, such as that provided by riparian habitat; and local groundwater influence;
6. Substrates of sufficient amount, size, and composition to ensure success of egg and embryo overwinter
survival, fry emergence, and young-of-the-year and juvenile survival. A minimal amount (e.g., less than
12 percent) of fine substrate less than 0.85 mm (0.03 in.) in diameter and minimal embeddedness of
these fines in larger substrates are characteristic of these conditions;
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 28
Flle No. 0693-073-00
7. A natural hydrograph, including peak, high, low, and base flows within historic and seasonal ranges or,
if flows are controlled, they minimize departures from a natural hydrograph;
8. Sufficient water quality and quantity such that normal reproduction, growth, and survival are not
inhibited; and
9. Few or no nonnative predatory (e.g., lake trout, walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass; inbreeding
(e.g., brook trout); or competitive (e.g., brown trout) species present.
The portion of Lake Washington within the project action area includes several PCEs for bull trout.
PCE 1 (springs, seeps, and groundwater sources) may be present along the shores of the lake, but not
within the action area. The lake is a migratory corridor for bull trout (PCE 2) and contains aquatic
invertebrates and limited riparian vegetation (PCE 3). There is limited habitat complexity within the action
area, but some off-channel and side channel habitat representative of PCE 4 exists. Temperatures in
Lake Washington vary by season and by depth. At any time of year, temperatures can be found within the
appropriate range for bull trout below a depth of approximately 15 feet (King County, 2013), therefore the
lake contains PCE 5. PCE 6 is not present in the action area because there is no spawning habitat for bull
trout in the lower Cedar River. Lake Washington has incoming rivers and outgoing flows controlled by dams
or locks; however, flows are regulated in a fashion similar to a natural hydrograph with higher flows in the
fall through spring and lower flows during the more dry summer months. Therefore, the project area also
contains PCE 7. PCE 8 (water quality and quantity) is present within Lake Washington. The lake contains
both large and smallmouth bass, therefore PCE 9 is not present in Lake Washington.
4.2.3. Proposed Primary Constituent Elements of Steelhead Trout Critical Habitat
Proposed PCEs for steel head trout (78 FR 2725) are discussed in this BA in the event that steel head critical
habitat becomes designated during project consultation. These PCEs are the same as those listed for
Chinook salmon in Section 4.2.1.
The project action area includes freshwater-specific PCEs (PCEs 1, 2 and 3) for steel head trout. The Cedar
River within the action area supports spawning, rearing and migration for steelhead, although spawning is
naturally limited in this reach. The project site does not contain marine areas; therefore, PCEs 4, 5 and 6
are not present within the action area.
4.3. Occurrence Summary
As described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, some of the listed and proposed species and critical habitat that
occur in King County are not expected to occur in the action area and are therefore not addressed in the
remainder of this BA. The project will have no effect on the following species and critical habitat:
• Gray wolf (including critical habitat)
• Canada lynx (including critical habitat)
• Grizzly bear (including critical habitat)
• Marbled murrelet (including critical habitat)
• Northern spotted owl (including critical habitat)
• Streaked horned lark (including critical habitat)
• Oregon spotted frog (including proposed critical habitat)
• Golden paintbrush

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE
The Cedar River Maintenance Dredging Project area is an approximately 1.23-mile reach located within the
City of Renton. The project reach extends from the Williams Avenue South Bridge to the south, downstream
to the mouth of the Cedar River at Lake Washington. Land use in the surrounding area includes commercial
and industrial development as well as recreation areas along the margins of the river.
5.1. Terrestrial Habitat
5.1.1. Topography
The upland topography in the project area is generally flat with steep slopes along the banks of the
Cedar River. The banks are armored in most areas with rip rap and/or concrete and include slopes as steep
as approximately a 1:1 ratio.
5.1.2. Vegetation
Terrestrial habitat conditions within the project corridor are generally degraded and consist primarily of a
narrow strip of riparian vegetation with high densities of invasive species. Vegetation within the project
stretch of the Cedar River is generally limited to invasive species including Japanese knotweed (Po/ygonum
cuspidatum), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and
Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) in the understory. Several native tree species are also located within the
riparian zone including red alder (A/nus rubra), Pacific willow (Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra), Sitka willow
(Salix sitchensis) and black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa). A waterfront park is
located along the east bank of the Cedar River within the project area and contains managed lawn grasses,
trees and shrubs.
5.1.3. Suitable Habitat
The action area does not contain suitable habitat for listed mammal species due to the high level or urban
development and the lack of forested areas. The off-site mitigation areas along the Cedar River contain
cottonwood and willow trees and dense understory shrubs in areas. These riparian areas represent suitable
habitat for western yellow-billed cuckoo; however, there are no proposed actions at these locations
affecting potentially suitable habitat for terrestrial species other than maintenance of existing riparian
vegetation at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel; therefore, evaluation of the effects of off-site mitigation
actions on terrestrial species presented in this BA are brief. Other than the proposed work at the
Elliot Spawning Channel, the rest of the Action Area only contains narrow strips of native and invasive
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 30
file No. 0693-073-00
riparian vegetation much smaller than the 50-acre stands. Larger stands of riparian vegetation are present
at and adjacent to the Elliot Spawning Channel, which is considered suitable yellow-billed cuckoo habitat.
5.2. Freshwater Aquatic Habitat
The Cedar River is a major tributary of Lake Washington providing approximately 57 percent of the flow into
the lake. Cedar River is part of Washington State Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 -
Cedar/Sammamish. The lower Cedar River basin contains 60 percent forested land cover, 29 percent
low-to medium-density development and 0.9 percent high-density development. The project reach of the
Cedar River was diverted from the Green/Duwamish River system into Lake Washington in 1912, which
has resulted in the need for 64 percent of the river to have levees or revetments along at least one of the
banks (Kerwin, 2001).
5.2.1. General Aquatic Conditions
The project reach of the Cedar River is completely artificial and constrained by levees and revetments.
The following channel history is based on the description presented in the project EIS (USAGE, 1997).
The artificial channel was constructed in 1912 by Commercial Waterway District Number 2. Prior to 1912,
the Cedar River flowed into the Black River and then into the Duwamish River and Elliot Bay. The diversion
of the Cedar River into Lake Washington occurred at approximately the same time that the USAGE
constructed the Lake Washington Ship Canal and lowered the Lake Washington surface water elevation by
approximately 9 feet. Currently, the Cedar River flows into Lake Washington at the extreme southern end
of the lake (Figure 1).
The river within the project reach was regularly dredged between 1912 and the mid-1970s to reduce
flooding. This reach is straight and channelized, with limited habitat complexity. The river banks in this
area are armored with riprap and/or retaining walls. This portion of the river is not connected to floodplain
habitat and does not contain off channel habitat. The low gradient of this portion of the river contributes
to sediment loading (Kerwin, 2001). River substrate within the project area is primarily composed of gravel
with cobbles, sand and a very small fraction of silt. The last dredging activities in this area were conducted
in 1998 with a planned removal of approximately 4 feet of accumulated sediment deposition (although in
practice more was removed than originally planned).
Riparian conditions are also degraded within the project area. The Renton Municipal Airport is immediately
adjacent to the project on the left (west) bank. The right (east) bank of the river contains a riverfront park
with managed lawn grasses, trees and shrubs. Beyond the park is the Renton Boeing Facility. Development
along the banks of the river has limited the riparian corridor to a small strip on either side of the river
containing invasive and native plant species. Four bridges cross the Cedar River in the project reach,
including: North Boeing Bridge (private), South Boeing Bridge (private), Logan Avenue (public) and Williams
Avenue (public), which is near the upstream limit of the dredge reach.
5.2.2. Suitable Habitat
Although this portion of the Cedar River is highly altered and degraded, the project reach is suitable habitat
for anadromous salmon ids with documented use by Chinook salmon, steel head and bull trout. Within the
action area, the Cedar River is primarily a migratory corridor and juvenile rearing habitat for Chinook salmon
and steel head. There is very limited opportunity for spawning by these species. Although documented in
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page31
File No. 0693-073-00
Lake Washington and rarely in the Cedar River, bull trout have not been observed in the WDFW trap in the
lower river during the past 20 years.
6.0ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS ON SPECIES AND HABITAT
This section provides analysis of the effects the project is likely to have on Chinook salmon, steel head and
bull trout within the action area. Direct effects include all impacts directly associated with project
implementation and construction activities as well as any disturbances that would occur very close to the
time of construction. Indirect effects are those that could result from the project, but occur later in time.
For this project, direct effects include: construction-related noise, habitat alteration within and adjacent to
the Cedar River, and construction-related impacts to water quality. The primary indirect effect of the project
is related to upstream headcutting, which is expected to occur during the first high-flow season (fall/winter).
Project-related direct and indirect effects on species and habitat are discussed in the following sections.
6.1. Operation of Construction Equipment
As described in the "Action Area" section, construction equipment may operate within the river channel and
along the banks (riparian area) during project construction. Yellow-billed cuckoo is the only species that
could occupy riparian habitats above the OHW within the action area. However, the occurrence of this
species is extremely unlikely. Furthermore, work at the Elliot Spawning Channel will be conducted from
existing developed access roads or by hand, and will not affect suitable habitat for this species.
Therefore, operation of construction equipment will have no effect on listed terrestrial species.
As documented in this BA, listed salmon ids including Chinook salmon, steelhead and potentially bull trout,
could be present within the Cedar River channel. Interaction with construction equipment operating below
the OHW level, and/or with construction materials being manipulated by this equipment, could have direct
effects on these species, if they occur in the river during construction.
In-water construction will be primarily limited to the approved in-water work window, although a work
window extension has been requested to enable construction to be completed within a single construction
season. The approved work window listed by USACE for the project location is July 1 to August 31; the
extension is requested for two additional weeks at the beginning of the work window, resulting in a work
window from June 15 to August 31. The work window restriction is expected to reduce the likelihood and/or
quantity of listed species that would occur in the river during construction, but there is still some potential
for these species to be within the action area during construction. Individual fish, if present, could be
harassed or harmed by the operation of equipment in the water during construction. Juvenile steelhead
are the most likely species to be affected by the project, because they can be present at any time of year.
Returning Chinook adults could also be present during their upstream migration in the latter portion of the
work window. Bull trout are extremely rare in the dredge reach, as documented at the WDFW trap.
Therefore, the potential for operation of construction equipment to affect bull trout is considered
discountable.
Based on this information, operation of construction equipment may affect listed fish species present in
the action area, but is not expected to have effects on designated or proposed critical habitat.
Because presence of Chinook salmon and steelhead in the dredge reach during construction cannot be
ruled out, interactions between individuals of these species and construction equipment operating in the
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 32
File No. 0693-073-00
water is anticipated to be likely to adversely affect these species. However, the chance of occurrence of
bull trout is considered discountable, and therefore, interaction between this species and construction
equipment operating in the water is anticipated to be not likely to adversely affect this species.
6.2. Construction-Related Noise
In-air construction noise may permeate terrestrial environments up to approximately 0.34 miles from the
project area due to use of construction machinery that generates noise in excess of baseline conditions
extending into the surrounding environment. Yellow-billed cuckoo is the only species that could occupy
riparian habitats above the OHW within the action area. However, the occurrence of this species is
extremely unlikely and therefore discountable. Work at the Elliot Spawning Channel will be conducted from
existing developed access roads or by hand, and will not affect suitable habitat for this species.
However, work may involve noise-producing equipment, such as vactor trucks, other heavy trucks, and/or
construction machinery such as a crane or excavator. Therefore, in-air construction-related noise
may affect yellow-billed cuckoo should they occur, but is not likely to adversely affect them due to very
low probability of occurrence, which renders the effect discountable.
Underwater construction noise may permeate aquatic habitats within the entire dredge reach and
extending up to 700 feet into the Lake Washington. Since pile driving noise may be detectible within
riverine and lake environments, it is necessary to incorporate species-specific thresholds for injury and/or
disturbance to evaluate the impact this may have on fish. Vibratory pile driving is known to not generate
sound pressure waveforms capable of causing fish mortality or injury, though disturbance is still possible
(WSDOT, 2013). The same practical spreading loss model described in Section 3.2.1 was used to estimate
the distance between the location of pile driving and fish exposure to disturbance-level noise conditions.
The model is able to provide an estimate of the distance at which pile driving noise would fall below a noise
exposure threshold value developed by NMFS for disturbance to salmonids (Fisheries Hydroacoustic
Working Group 2008; Hastings, 2002). This analysis is based on the initial noise level of approximately
160 dB for vibratory pile driving of steel sheet piles (lllinworth and Rodkin, 2007) and does not vary with
ambient conditions in the riverine environment. Using these methods, modeling results indicate that
vibratory pile driving may cause disturbance to individual salmonids for up to 150 feet from potential
locations of pile driving, which are at ST As 8+00, 14+00 and 16+50. Consequently, pile driving noise levels
high enough to cause disturbance to fish is limited to the following ranges within Reach 1: STAs 6+50 to
9+50, 12+50 to 15+50, and 15+00 to 18+00. Disturbance-level noise will not extend into
Lake Washington.
In addition to the ranges described above for pile driving, presence of other dredging equipment (boats and
excavators) working within the entire dredge reach (Reaches 1-3) could also create disturbance that would
cause fish to avoid the area or otherwise alter their behavior. Noise generated by vibratory pile driving or
operation of other equipment would not be expected to result in direct mortality offish occupying the dredge
reach. Furthermore, effects of underwater noise on listed fish will be minimized by conducting all in-water
work during the approved window established for this project. Although the in-water work window and
methods of construction have been carefully crafted to reduce the chance of adverse effects on listed fish,
disturbance and/or alteration of behavior cannot be ruled out. Migratory corridors, which are a primary
constituent element of designated critical habitat, will likely be affected. Therefore, construction-related
noise may adversely affect listed fish species and/or designated critical habitat.

file No. D693-073-00
6.3. Habitat Alteration
Habitat alteration will occur in a number of locations both within the Cedar River channel, and along its
banks, including the associated riparian area. These effects are discussed separately below.
6.3.1. Effects to River Channel
Habitat effects on the river channel will result from substrate removal, an increase in lake-like conditions,
natural channel adjustment following dredging, and maintenance actions at the Elliot Spawning Side
Channel. Habitat alteration within the river channel will affect the entire dredge reach due to removal of
substrate and associated organic material during dredging. Removal of this material will have a temporary
effect on habitat conditions primarily resulting from removal of benthic macroinvertebrates, a primary food
source for salmon and trout in the river. However, the planned removal of up to 5 feet (4 feet planned, plus
1 foot of over-dredge allowance) of riverbed substrate will not have a long-term effect on habitat conditions
because the same type, size and quality of substrate will be newly exposed at the bed surface as currently
occurs, and recolonization by benthic macroinvertebrate communities is anticipated to be rapid and
therefore effects on listed species and critical habitat are insignificant.
Dredging will also increase the amount of the lower Cedar River that experiences "lake effect", where water
velocities are decreased and depth is increased. The lake effect currently extends upstream from the
mouth of the river to approximately RM 0.33 (STA 17+50). After dredging has been conducted, the lake
effect will extend up to RM 0.64. Habitat will therefore be altered within this range, affecting 0.31 lineal
miles (1,637 lineal feet) of aquatic habitat. This is less than the 2,300 lineal feet anticipated by the USACE
during approval of the 1998 dredge. Within the lake effect reach, suitable salmon id spawning habitat will
be reduced and conditions may favor predatory fish species. However, there is no spawning habitat for
listed species in the lake effect reach.
Natural channel adjustment that may occur in the year following dredging is anticipated to affect
approximately 0.44 miles (2,300 feet) of salmonid spawning habitat upstream from the transition zone.
This effect is anticipated to be less dramatic than what was observed following the 1998 dredge due to
engineering controls that will be in place to avoid over-dredging and adherence to the design slope within
the transition zone. Hydraulic and sediment transport modeling conducted by the City's hydraulic
consultant suggests the upstream extent of channel adjustment to be Houser Way rather than 1-405 as
believed following the 1998 dredge. Based on modeling conducted using historical flow data, channel
adjustment will be limited to the first year under a variety of flow conditions that could occur. Substrate in
the affected reach may be mobilized to a greater extent than naturally occurs during high flows in the first
year following dredging, resulting in degradation of 1 to 2 feet. The depth of degradation is expected to be
greatest (up to 2 feet) in the transition zone and immediately above, tapering to lesser depths higher up
the river. The timing of channel adjustment depends on the hydrograph for the year following dredging,
which cannot be predicted. However, because Chinook salmon spawn in the fall and high flows are
anticipated from October through April (USACE, 1997), there is a possibility that Chinook redds established
in the channel adjustment reach would be scoured and destroyed as a result of channel adjustment in the
year following dredging. It is less likely this would affect steelhead because they spawn in the spring and
the affected reach is not documented as spawning habitat for this species. The effect of channel
adjustment on Chinook redds is only anticipated to occur in the first year following dredging; following initial
channel adjustment, ongoing sediment transport processes are expected within the natural range for this
system. This effect is therefore considered insignificant with regard to impacts to critical habitat.
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 34
File No. 0693-073·00
Effects of habitat alteration at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel resulting from its maintenance are
anticipated to be either beneficial or insignificant to listed fish species in the Cedar River.
6.3.2. Effects to Banks and Riparian Areas
Alterations along the riverbanks will include vegetation removal for equipment access and staging.
maintenance and repair of existing bank stabilization features, installation of new bank stabilization
features, restoration of equipment access and bank stabilization areas, additional riparian mitigation
plantings, and the gabion removal.
Vegetation removed in equipment access and staging areas on the left bank is primarily invasive.
These areas will be restored using native seed mixes and shrub plantings, in accordance with levee and
airport restrictions, following completion of construction. Native communities, once they are established,
are expected to provide greater levels of riparian function than existing communities. Restoration will use
fast-growing species that are anticipated to become established within as little as one to two years.
However, there will still be a short-term loss of functions that riparian vegetation provides during and
immediately after construction work. Alterations to the banks of the Cedar River will increase the stability
of the banks and provide additional native riparian vegetation due to incorporation of bioengineered bank
elements and opportunities for increasing riparian plantings relative to baseline conditions.
Proposed plantings have been specified to ensure compliance with USAGE regulations for vegetation on
and around the constructed flood control levees and walls. Bank stabilization will include the installation
of a riprap toe along the banks of the river in several areas. The interstitial spaces between the riprap will
be filled with dredge materials to reduce hiding opportunities for predatory fish and provide suitable
substrate for the growth of riparian vegetation. The majority of this work is maintenance or repair of existing
armoring (see Table 1). A small amount of new bank stabilization is proposed which is fully offset by
removal of an existing gabion basket and replacement with a bioengineered feature as mitigation.
Therefore, the net effects of bank work are expected to be beneficial with regard to habitat conditions
relative to baseline conditions. Increasing riparian vegetation at the banks will create overwater shading
and increase invertebrate habitat along the margins of the river. These effects will improve habitat quality
and quantity as well as increase food sources for salmonids. Reduction of predator habitat will also provide
beneficial effects to salmonids.
Effects of riparian vegetation maintenance at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel, which could be suitable for
yellow-billed cuckoo, are not anticipated to have any effect on yellow-billed cuckoos, even if they did occupy
the stand (which is highly unlikely), nor on habitat quality for this species. Riparian vegetation enhancement
would be entirely beneficial to the yellow-billed cuckoo, as well as listed fish species that may occupy
adjacent aquatic habitat.
6.3.3. Summary of Habitat Effects on Listed Species
In summary, habitat alteration has the potential to have both short-and long-term impacts to habitat for
listed fish species that occur within the Cedar River. Short-term temporary impacts such as removal of
substrate and associated benthic invertebrates, and potential scour of redds in the upper project reach
(above Logan Avenue) and extending upstream to Houser Way are considered insignificant. Short-term
loss of riparian vegetation cover is also insignificant and replacement with native communities that exceed
baseline conditions will result in long-term beneficial effects. Bank work that is proposed will also result in
beneficial effects relative to baseline conditions because most work is maintenance or repair of existing
armoring that will be bioengineered to improve habitat conditions overall. Loss of spawning habitat due to
GEOENGINEERu::;i December 9, 2014 Page 35
FIie No. 0693-073-00
an increase in lacustrine conditions in the lowest reach of the river (below South Boeing Bridge) is unlikely
to affect listed species because use of this reach for spawning is extremely rare and therefore discountable;
potential increase in predatory habitat is considered insignificant. Effects of maintenance actions proposed
at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel will be beneficial or insignificant. Therefore, although habitat alteration
may affect yellow-billed cuckoo and listed fish species and designated critical habitat, these effects are
not likely to adversely affect designated critical habitat for these species.
6.3.4. Effects on Primary Constituent Elements
As described in the preceding sections, project actions will have the following effects on physical features
comprising Chinook, steelhead and/or bull trout critical habitat:
• substrate removal, including associated organism and organic detritus;
• an increase in lake-like conditions;
• natural channel adjustment following dredging;
• alteration of bank conditions;
• removal of riparian vegetation, much of it invasive, for the purpose of equipment access and bank
stabilization activities; and
• establishment of native riparian vegetation (seeding and plantings).
The Cedar River within the action area supports spawning, rearing and migration for Chinook salmon and
steelhead, although spawning habitat for both these species is naturally limited in the affected reaches
primarily due to the mass spawning of sockeye salmon. Key attributes of these PCEs include appropriate
water quality and quantity, substrate (for spawning), physical habitat configuration attributes (e.g., pool and
riffle habitats, large woody debris, boulders, bank conditions, water depth, etc.), and riparian cover.
The portion of Lake Washington within the project action area includes several PCEs for bull trout, including
providing a migratory corridor for bull trout that contains aquatic invertebrates, limited riparian vegetation,
limited habitat complexity (including off-channel and side channel habitat), appropriate water quality and
quantity, and an appropriate prey base.
Based on the anticipated project effects and the PCEs that have been identified within the project area, the
following effects on designated critical habitat are anticipated:
• Water quality may be temporarily degraded during construction but is anticipated to return to normal
background levels upon completion of dredging. With appropriate BMPs in place and adherence to the
approved in-waler work window for fish protection during the course of a single season. the effect on
water quality is expected to be limited, remain within the normal range that occurs in this river system
during times of high stream discharge, and is therefore considered insignificant. Water quantity
parameters will not be affected.
• Although substrate will be removed from the river during dredging and sediments will be redistributed
during channel adjustment, the surface substrate left behind after these events will be equally suitable
for spawning by Chinook salmon or steel head, to the limited extent they may use affected habitat areas.
Use of affected reaches by Chinook salmon and steelhead for spawning is extremely limited and
therefore this effect is both insignificant and discountable.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 36
File No. 0693·073-00
• Benthic organisms and organic detritus that is removed may result in short-term impacts to food webs
resulting in an insignificant decrease in available prey resources for fish within the affected reach.
These effects would be expected to return to pre-dredge conditions within a year of dredging as a result
of natural recolonization from upstream population sources.
• Bed elevation lowering that results from dredging and contributes to an increase in lake-like conditions
will not displace spawning habitat for listed species, but may reduce the quality of migration corridors
for Chinook salmon and steelhead due to an increase in predator advantage in the affected habitat.
This same effect may be beneficial to adult bull trout, which are fish predators.
• Alteration of bank conditions will be generally beneficial relative to the existing baseline because bank
work primarily consists of repair and maintenance of existing armoring that will be retrofitted with bio-
engineered designs, with very limited new bank armoring that will also be bio-engineered, and some
compensatory removal of bank armoring (gabion basket).
• Riparian conditions will be temporarily degraded as a result of clearing for equipment access and bank
work. Cleared areas will be restored by seeding and planting native species. Additional riparian
plantings are also proposed above and beyond the affected areas as part of the mitigation plan.
Therefore, although the short-term degradation of riparian cover cannot be denied, the long-term
effects on riparian conditions are expected to be beneficial, which will result in a long-term
improvement to fish habitat.
• Other physical habitat attributes in the Cedar River-such as pool/riffle habitats, large woody debris,
boulders, side channel and floodplain habitats-are already generally degraded within the project area
and will be unaffected by the proposed dredging.
Based on the preceding analysis, the project may affect and is likely to adversely affect designated critical
habitat for Chinook salmon and steelhead. The project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect
designated critical habitat for bull trout.
6.4. Impacts to Water Quality
Water quality impacts that will occur in the Cedar River and Lake Washington during construction are
anticipated to be limited to elevated turbidity due to re-suspension of sediments during dredging.
The project will comply with the custom mixing zone requirements of the Ecology WQC. Water quality is
expected to return to baseline conditions immediately following completion of construction.
Increased turbidity is anticipated to affect the entire project reach and extend up to 300 feet into
Lake Washington over the course of the construction season. In-water construction work will be limited to
the approved in-water work window for the project. In addition, the linear length of the Cedar River channel
subject to active dredging and number of simultaneous dredging work zones will be limited. Consequently,
although the entire dredge reach will be affected at some point during construction, the amount of area
subject to increased turbidity from construction at any given point in time will be a fraction of the project
reach. These measures are intended to limit the extent of water quality effects and to ensure fish that may
potentially occur in the river during construction have available refuge in areas unaffected by active
dredging.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 37
Flle No. 0693-073-00
Adhering to the in-water work window will reduce the quantities of listed fish that are likely to occur in the
project area and therefore could be affected by turbidity. Limitations on the extent of construction activities
conducted simultaneously will further limit the potential to impact listed fish. However, it is not possible to
completely eliminate the possibility of some listed fish occurring in the river during dredging.
Juvenile steelhead are the most likely species to be affected by the project, because they can be present
at anytime of year. Returning Chinook adults could also be present during their upstream migration in the
latter portion of the work window. Bull trout are extremely rare in the dredge reach, as documented at the
WDFW trap. Therefore, the potential for increased turbidity to affect bull trout is considered discountable.
Increased turbidity will affect habitat reaches designated and/or proposed as critical habitat for listed fish
species. The project reach includes freshwater spawning, rearing and migratory corridor habitat, although
spawning is limited to the upstream portion of the project reach for Chinook salmon and steelhead (there is
no bull trout spawning habitat in the dredge reach). As described above, the extent of turbidity impacts
during construction will be limited by reducing the length of channel and number of work zones affected at
any given point in time. This will ensure that adequate refuge exists within the river during construction,
for utilization by fish during rearing and migratory life history phases. In-water construction work will not be
conducted during the spawning season for any listed species. Therefore, effects of turbidity on critical
habitat are considered insignificant and discountable.
In conclusion, increased turbidity may affect these three listed fish species, and is likely to adversely
affect Chinook salmon and steelhead, but is not likely to adversely affect bull trout. These effects will be
temporary. Increase turbidity may affect designated or proposed critical habitat for listed fish species, but
is not likely to adversely affect, and will not adversely modify, critical habitat
6.5. Food Web Dynamics and Prey Resources
Most effects of the project will be limited to impacts directly associated with construction, which will be
minimized through appropriate BMPs including but not limited to an approved in-water work window for
fish protection specific to this project. Other effects of the project that may persist beyond the construction
window include: channel adjustment; loss of limited spawning habitat for sockeye salmon within the dredge
reach; temporal loss of riparian vegetation in areas that will be cleared for construction and then restored,
which could reduce allocthonous inputs that may provide direct prey sources or support other prey
resources; removal of benthic invertebrates associated with the channel substrate, and subsequent
re population of invertebrate populations; an increase in habitat favorable to predators below South Boeing
Bridge; and an increase in sockeye spawning habitat and juvenile rearing habitat for other species in the
mitigation side channels.
Juvenile sockeye salmon, Chinook salmon, and steelhead are typical prey resources for bull trout, which
are rare or absent in the project reach. The project is not expected to result in a direct alteration of prey
fish populations as a result of construction activities. The dredge reach and upstream channel adjustment
reach do not constitute primary spawning habitats for Chinook salmon or steelhead. However, sockeye
spawning habitat is substantial within these reaches. Loss of sockeye salmon spawning habitat in the
reach below South Boeing Bridge and/or destruction of established sockeye redds due to channel
adjustment in the first year following dredging may have a short-term impact on the juvenile sockeye
population in the years immediately following dredging. This potential impact is offset by complementary
actions to maintain and restore constructed spawning side channel habitat that is currently providing
alternate spawning locations for sockeye salmon and improved juvenile rearing habitat for other salmonid
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 38
File No. 0693-073-00
species that will persist for the long-term beyond the first couple of years post-dredging. The net tradeoff
between impacted sockeye spawning habitat and supplemental sockeye spawning habitat in the spawning
channels is expected to offset effects of the dredging on the juvenile sockeye population in the lower
Cedar River. Improved predatory habitat below South Boeing Bridge will be minimized by filling void spaces
in riprap as part of the project, but may nonetheless provide bull trout with a predator advantage that may
be especially beneficial to this species during lean years, if bull trout enter the Cedar River from
Lake Washington (WDFW data indicates this species is generally absent or rare in the dredge reach;
see Section 4.1.4.3). Therefore, although the project may affect bull trout through alteration of food webs
and prey populations, this effect is anticipated to be insignificant and is not likely to adversely affect this
species.
Other listed species, such as Chinook salmon and steelhead do not typically prey on other fish while in
freshwater, instead relying on aquatic invertebrates. Because the project is in the lowest reach of the
Cedar River, with ample source populations of benthic invertebrates immediately upstream that would be
transported naturally into the dredge reach, recolonization of substrate by benthic invertebrates is
anticipated to be rapid. Loss of riparian habitat will be very limited, occurring primarily in areas dominated
by invasive vegetation, and will be restored following project completion. Therefore, although the project
also may affect Chinook salmon and steel head through alteration of food webs and prey populations, this
effect is anticipated to be insignificant and is not likely to adversely affect these species.
6.6. Interrelated and Interdependent Actions
The effects of interrelated and interdependent actions, which are limited to offsite mitigation actions,
including previously constructed spawning channels and the wetland mitigation bank, will be entirely
beneficial and/or may be insignificant in some cases. The spawning channels were constructed to
compensate for the previous dredging activities and routine maintenance dredging, such as the current
proposal, as well as unanticipated over-dredging that resulted from project implementation in 1998, which
is not expected to recur. The mitigation areas consist of off-channel salmon id spawning and rearing habitat
located upstream on the Cedar River. Creation of the spawning channels has resulted in an increase by
approximately 2,679 lineal feet of new spawning and rearing habitat within the Cedar River.
Maintenance actions proposed at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel will improve aquatic off-channel habitat
conditions that may be utilized by juvenile steelhead and Chinook salmon, although primary utilization is
by sockeye salmon, which are not a listed species. The 130-acre Springbrook Creek wetland mitigation
bank includes wetland creation, restoration and enhancement, resulting in improved flood storage capacity
and water quality in Springbrook Creek, and benefitting fish and wildlife habitat in the creek and adjacent
wetland areas (WSDOT, 2014). This wetland mitigation bank currently has sufficient credits available to
offset wetland impacts of this project.
These off-site mitigation sites have already been constructed; therefore, with the exception of limited
maintenance work proposed at the Elliot Spawning Side Channel, no new construction impacts will occur
at the mitigation sites.
6. 7. Cumulative Effects
No cumulative effects have been identified for this project. The City is unaware of any other planned actions
that would affect salmon populations in the Cedar River.

7.0 EFFECT DETERMINATIONS
Based on the project effects presented in Section 6.0, we have made effect determinations for each listed
species and designated or proposed critical habitat that may occur in the action area.
Effects determinations take into account all of the possible project effects; our determinations are
summarized in Table 5 and discussed below.
TABLE 5. EFFECT DETERMINATIONS FOR LISTED AND PROPOSED SPECIES
Common Name Federal Status Effect Determination Effect Determination
for Species for Crltlcal Habitat
Yellow-billed cuckoo Threatened NLM NAM (NE-provisional)
Chinook salmon Threatened LTAA LTAA
Steel head trout Threatened NAM
LTAA (LTAA-provisional)
Bull trout Threatened NLTAA NLTAA
Notes:
NLTAA = Not Likely to Adversely Affect; LTM = Likely to Adversely Affect; NAM = Not Adversely Modify (for proposed critical habitat).
7.1. Yellow-Billed Cuckoo
The project may affect yellow-billed cuckoo because:
• Construction activities will occur at the Elliot Spawning Channel, which is proximal to suitable habitat
for the species.
• Construction activities at the Elliot Spawning Channel will include use of noise-producing machinery
that could potentially disturb yellow-billed cuckoos if they occur in this habitat.
However, the project is not llkely to adversely affect yellow-billed cuckoo because:
• Potential occurrence of this species is based on presumed historical distribution, there have been no
recent sightings, and the occurrence of this species in the Action Area is therefore extremely unlikely,
and is considered discountable.
• The only suitable habitat for this species within the action area is around the Elliot Spawning Channel;
there are no suitable stands of riparian vegetation large enough to support this species in the lower
Cedar River below 1-405.
• Work at the Elliot Spawning Channel will be conducted from existing developed access roads or by
hand, and will not affect suitable habitat for this species, except potentially beneficial effects resulting
from invasive species removal and vegetation enhancement.
The project would not adversely modify proposed critical habitat for yellow-billed cuckoo because:
• Proposed critical habitat for yellow-billed cuckoo does not occur in the Action Area.
• The only potential effects of the project on suitable habitat for yellow-billed cuckoo are beneficial, as a
result of riparian vegetation maintenance around the Elliot Spawning Channel.
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 40
File No. 0693-073-00
If proposed critical habitat for yellow-billed cuckoo is designated prior to completion of this project, a
provisional effect determination for critical habitat is provided.
The project will have no effect on proposed yellow-billed cuckoo critical habitat because:
• Proposed critical habitat for yellow-billed cuckoo does not occur in the Action Area.
7.2. Chinook Salmon
The project may affect Chinook salmon because:
• Suitable habitat for Chinook salmon is present in the Cedar River within the action area, and this
species has been documented in the river.
• Construction equipment will operate within suitable habitat for Chinook salmon.
• Underwater noise will be generated within suitable habitat at levels that could cause disturbance and
alter behavior.
• Project construction activities will alter habitat and generate turbidity within and adjacent to the Cedar
River.
• Channel adjustment is anticipated to affect limited suitable spawning habitat for Chinook salmon.
The project is likely to adversely affect Chinook salmon because:
• The project will be constructed during an extended in-water work window, during which period limited
numbers of Chinook salmon are likely to be present in the river.
• Construction equipment will operate within the water in potentially occupied habitat.
• Elevated noise levels could cause Chinook to avoid suitable habitat or alter their normal behaviors.
• Dredging activities will result in temporary water quality impacts (sediment releases/elevated turbidity)
in the Cedar River and Lake Washington, which may affect Chinook salmon directly.
The project may affect designated critical habitat for Chinook salmon because:
• The project action area includes PCEs 1, 2 and 3 for Chinook salmon.
• Project activities will alter habitat within and adjacent to the Cedar River.
• Chinook spawning habitat (PCE 1) is present in the project reach as well as upstream in areas
potentially affected by channel adjustment.
• Access and bank stabilization activities will remove overhanging riparian vegetation which provides
shade and cover for juvenile Chinook salmon (PCE 2).
• The project will result in temporary water quality impacts (sediment releases) in the Cedar River and
Lake Washington, which constitute migratory corridors (PCE 3).
• Elevated noise levels will be generated within migratory corridor habitat (PCE 3).
• The project will create 6.4 acres of additional lake effect area. which benefits predators of Chinook fry.
This cyclical effect of recurrent dredging was anticipated for and consulted upon during development
of the original Section 205 project documentation.
• Channel adjustment will result in head-cutting, scour and potential short-term increases in turbidity.
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page41
File No. 0693-073-00
• Removal of benthic invertebrates and organic detritus in the sediment that will be dredged could impact
food web dynamics and therefore alter prey resources for Chinook salmon.
The project is likely to adversely affect designated critical habitat for Chinook salmon because:
• The project will have long-term impacts on predator habitat in the lowest reach of the river below
South Boeing Bridge, where bed lowering will result in an increase in lake-like conditions.
These conditions favor predators of Chinook fry resulting in temporary degradation of the migratory
corridor for this species. This effect will diminish as the channel fills back in, reducing the extent of
lake-like conditions over time after dredging.
• Although riparian areas affected by the project will be restored following construction, and
supplemental riparian plantings are proposed in areas not affected by construction, the temporal loss
of riparian cover cannot be avoided.
7.3. Steelhead
The project may affect steel head because:
• Suitable habitat for steel head is present in the Cedar River within the action area, and this species has
been documented in the river.
• Construction equipment will operate within suitable habitat for steelhead.
• Underwater noise will be generated within suitable habitat at levels that could cause disturbance and
alter behavior.
• Project construction activities will alter habitat and generate turbidity within and adjacent to the
Cedar River.
• Channel adjustment could affect limited suitable spawning habitat for steelhead.
The project is likely to adversely affect steelhead trout because:
• The project will be constructed during an extended in-water work window, during which period
steelhead are likely to be present in the river.
• Construction equipment will operate within the water in potentially occupied habitat.
• Elevated noise levels could cause steel head to avoid suitable habitat or alter their normal behaviors.
• Dredging activities will result in temporary water quality impacts (sediment releases/elevated turbidity)
in the Cedar River and Lake Washington, which may affect steelhead directly.
The project would not adversely modify proposed critical habitat for steel head trout because:
• Despite short-term and long-term project impacts to spawning habitat, riparian vegetation and water
quality, impacts will not appreciably diminish the value for conservation of the species over the
long-term because of the habitat mitigation that has been or will be implemented for the project
(GeoEngineers, 2014a).
•
•
Constructed spawning habitat offsets loss of redds in the dredge reach and channel adjustment
reach, as documented in the Mitigation Plan for the project.
Onsite riparian plantings will offset loss of riparian cover due to development of equipment access
points and bank stabilization activities.
GeoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 42
File No. 0693·073-00
• Removal of gabion baskets, filling of interstitial spaces in bank protection rock and reduction of
artificial lighting will reduce effects of predation on juvenile steelhead and offset increases in
lacustrine habitat that tends to favor predators.
• Impacts to water quality will be limited to the actual construction period.
If proposed steelhead critical habitat is designated prior to completion of this project, a provisional effect
determination for critical habitat is provided.
The project may affect proposed steelhead critical habitat because:
• The project action area includes PCEs 1, 2 and 3 for steelhead.
• Project activities will alter habitat within and adjacent to the Cedar River.
• Access and bank stabilization activities will remove overhanging riparian vegetation (PCE 2) which
provides shade and cover for juvenile steelhead.
• The project will result in temporary water quality impacts (sediment releases) in the Cedar River and
Lake Washington, which constitute migratory corridors (PCE 3).
• Elevated noise levels will be generated within migratory corridor habitat (PCE 3).
• The project will create 6.4 acres of additional lake effect area, which benefits predators of steelhead
fry. This cyclical effect of recurrent dredging was anticipated for and consulted upon during
development of the original Section 205 project documentation.
• Channel adjustment will result in head-cutting, scour and potential short-term increases in turbidity.
• Removal of benthic invertebrates and organic detritus in the sediment that will be dredged could impact
food web dynamics and therefore alter prey resources for steelhead.
The project is likely to adversely affect proposed steel head critical habitat because:
• The project will have impacts on predator habitat in the lowest reach of the river below South Boeing
Bridge, where bed lowering will result in an increase in lake-like conditions. These conditions favor
predators of steel head fry resulting in temporary degradation of the migratory corridor for this species.
This effect is expected to diminish with time post-dredging as the river re-deposits sediment thereby
reducing the extent of lake-like conditions.
• Although riparian areas affected by the project will be restored following construction, and
supplemental riparian plantings are proposed in areas not affected by construction, the temporal loss
of riparian cover cannot be avoided.
7 .4. Bull Trout
The project may affect bull trout because:
• Suitable habitat for bull trout exists in the Cedar River within the project action area.
• Construction equipment will operate within suitable habitat for bull trout.
• Underwater noise will be generated within suitable habitat at levels that could cause disturbance and
alter behavior.
• Project construction activities will alter habitat and generate turbidity within and adjacent to the
Cedar River.
GEOENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page 43
File No 0693-07J.OO
The project is not likely to adversely affect bull trout because:
• The chance of occurrence of bull trout is considered discountable, and therefore, operation of
construction equipment in the water, alteration of habitat, construction-related elevated turbidity, and
channel adjustment are not anticipated to impact this species.
The project may affect designated critical habitat for bull trout because:
• Lake Washington is designated as critical habitat for bull trout.
• Dredging will result in temporary water quality impacts (sediment releases) into Lake Washington
(PCE 8).
• The prey base for bull trout originating in the Cedar River could be affected as a result of project impacts
to spawning habitat for sockeye salmon and other species.
The project is not likely to adversely affect designated critical habitat for bull trout because:
• Impacts to PCE 8 are considered insignificant and discountable:
•
•
Although sediment laden waters will enter Lake Washington, the extent of increased turbidity will
be localized around the mouth of the Cedar River, and is considered insignificant.
Water quality monitoring will be conducted during construction and BMPs such as silt curtains will
be used to reduce water quality impacts to a level that is considered discountable. Water quality
monitoring will ensure compliance with a Section 401 Water Quality Certification permit.
• Project impacts to habitat, when combined with project-related environmental mitigation and habitat
enhancements, are not expected to affect populations of fish species that may be prey base for bull
trout, and are therefore discountable.
8.0 ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT EVALUATION
The Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act, as amended by the Sustainable
Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public Law, 104-267), includes a mandate that NMFS must identify EFH for federally
managed marine fish, and federal agencies must consult with NMFS on activities that may adversely affect
EFH. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council has designated EFH for the Pacific salmon fishery, and
federally managed groundfish and coastal pelagic fisheries. The objective of the EFH assessment is to
describe potential adverse effects to designated EFH for federally managed fisheries species within the
proposed action area. It also describes conservation measures proposed to avoid, minimize, or otherwise
offset potential adverse effects to designated EFH resulting from the proposed action.
8.1. Designated EFH within the Action Area
There is no habitat for coastal pelagic or groundfish species within the action area. The Pacific salmon
fishery management unit includes Chinook salmon, coho salmon (0. kisutch), and pink salmon
(0. gorbuscha). Pacific salmon designated EFH includes all streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and other
water bodies currently or historically accessible to salmon in Washington State, except above impassable
barriers. Estuarine and marine areas extend from the nearshore and tidal submerged environments within
Washington territorial waters out to the full extent of the exclusive economic zone offshore (PFMC, 1999).
Therefore, the Cedar River is designated EFH for Pacific salmon.
GEoENGINEER~ December 9, 2014 Page44
File No. 0693·07J.OO
8.2. Effects of the Proposed Action on EFH
As stated in the BA analysis above, the project will alter habitat within and adjacent to the Cedar River.
Project impacts will include removal of suitable spawning substrate and associated benthic invertebrates
within the Cedar River, removal of riparian vegetation, and temporary impacts to water quality.
These impacts directly affect salmon EFH as well as habitat which support salmon prey. Although the
substrate exposed by the dredging will be of similar composition as that removed, and proposed
project-specific mitigation is anticipated to offset impacts to fish habitat, the appropriate effect
determination for Pacific salmon EFH is may adversely affect.
9.0 CONCLUSIONS
The Cedar River Section 205 Maintenance Dredging Project will involve removal of accumulated sediments
from the Cedar River channel as well as removal of riparian vegetation in river access and bank stabilization
areas. The project will require the use of heavy machinery including excavators and potentially a vibratory
pile driver. Project impacts will include construction noise, direct impacts to river and riparian habitat, and
impacts to water quality. However, the project has been carefully designed to minimize these effects and
mitigation has been identified to offset unavoidable impacts as described in this report.
The action area for the project was defined as the sum of extents of all project effects on the environment
and comprised a 1,774-foot radius around the project site. The action area was largely dictated by the
extent that noise associated with vibratory pile driving could permeate the environment. The extent of
aquatic impacts has been delineated to occur in the Cedar River from the 1-405 bridge downstream to
Lake Washington, extending up to 300 feet into the Lake. It was determined that fish species are the only
ESA-listed species that may be present in the action area for the project, including Chinook salmon,
steelhead and bull trout.
The project was determined to be likely to adversely affect (LAA) Puget Sound ESU Chinook salmon and
Puget Sound DPS steel head trout. The project is not likely to adversely affect (NLAA) yellow-billed cuckoo
and Coastal/Puget Sound DPS bull trout. The project was determined to be likely to adversely affect (LAA)
designated critical habitat for Chinook salmon. The project was determined to not adversely modify (NAM)
proposed critical habitat for both yellow-billed cuckoo and steel head, with provisional effect determinations
of no effect (NE) for yellow-billed cuckoo critical habitat and likely to adversely affect (LAA) for steelhead
critical habitat, should they be designated prior to completion of the project. Also, the project was
determined to be not likely to adversely affect (NLAA) bull trout critical habitat. Additionally, the project
may adversely affect EFH for Pacific salmon.

Cedar River Maintenance Dredging Project
Renton, Washington
File No. 0693-073-00
INTRODUCTION
The City of Renton is proposing to perform maintenance dredging of accumulated sediment within the lower
1.23 miles of the Cedar River. This maintenance project is needed to maintain adequate flood conveyance
in the Cedar River to protect adjacent properties as required by the Project Cooperation Agreement with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) associated with the initial construction of the Lower Cedar River
Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project in 1998. This section of the river was last dredged in 1998 by
the USAGE, following the preparation and approval of a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project, which was adopted by the City of Renton to satisfy
the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA, City of Renton File No. LUA-97-192,SP,SM). The NEPA EIS
evaluated alternatives, including required future maintenance dredging, and identified mitigation actions
that were implemented for all initial and future maintenance dredging impacts. Maintenance dredging was
originally anticipated to be needed every three years, which was used to establish project mitigation actions.
However, maintenance dredging has not needed to be performed for nearly 17 years, even though the
mitigation was based upon a more frequent impacts associated with maintenance dredging needing to be
completed once every three years. Stream bank improvements directly related to the maintenance of the
205 flood control project are also proposed to manage the effects of erosion on adjacent flood control
structures and facilities.
The City of Renton Department of Public Works-Surface Water Utility is requesting the City's Environmental
Review Committee to concur that the original NEPA EIS, which the City adopted to comply with SEPA is also
adequate for satisfying SEPA for the work proposed for the Cedar River Maintenance Dredging Project.

GeoEngineers, Inc. (GeoEngineers) has prepared this SEPA letter in support of the Cedar River Maintenance
Dredging Project, which is proposed by the City of Renton Department of Public Works -Surface Water
Utility. The purpose of this letter is to summarize the original USAGE Section 205 Dredging Project, identify
the NEPA and SEPA approval processes used for the original project in 1998, and to identify consistencies
and differences between the original project and the current proposal. GeoEngineers has prepared this
summary under sub-contract to Coast & Harbor Engineering (CHE) to provide environmental permitting
support for the project to the City of Renton.
Project Location
The project is located in Renton, King County, Washington, extending from the mouth of the Cedar River at
Lake Washington (lat/long. coordinates 47.50048, -122.21589) upstream approximately 6,500 feet to
the Williams Street Bridge (47.48433, -122.20664). It is within Sections 7, 17 and 18 of Township 23N,
Range 05E, of the Willamette Meridian. The Cedar River is within the Hydrological Unit Code (HUC)
17110012 (Lake Washington Watershed)1 and within Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA) 8
(Cedar/Sammamish)2.
Purpose
• Maintenance dredging for existing Lower Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project as
required per the USAGE Project Cooperation Agreement and project O&M manual to maintain the flood
protection benefits of the federally constructed flood control project.
• Continuation of 1998 permitted project.
1998 DREDGE PROJECT
Project Description and Background
The Cedar River Section 205 Flood Reduction Project is a USAGE project implemented in 1998. This project
included dredging the channel to remove up to four feet of sediment deposition (estimated 125,000 cubic
yards [CY]) below the 1995 bed elevation (the permitted elevation depth per the approved NEPA EIS
document) in the lower river between the Logan Avenue North Bridge and the mouth of the river, with a
gradual sloping transition reach upstream of Logan Avenue North, to match the existing channel elevation
at the Williams Avenue North Bridge and to reduce headcutting. The purpose of this Section 205 project
was flood protection of existing industrial development on either side of the river and City of Renton
Municipal Airport facilities on the left (west) bank. The project also included the following elements: future
periodic maintenance dredging anticipated every three years; construction offload walls, levees and a low
berm; bank armoring (riprap) along tlie left bank; modifications to the South Boeing Bridge, including
burying utilities and placement of rock/concrete below ordinary high water (OHW); and compensatory

mitigation to offset impacts to fisheries and associated habitat resources. A grade control structure at the
upper limit of the project was evaluated and approved during the NEPA process.3
Previous Mitigation
The 1998 project permits required extensive mitigation for the initial construction impacts and impacts
associated with the anticipated future maintenance dredging. Mitigation for the Lower Cedar River Section
205 Project, including the resulting excessive dredging and recurring maintenance dredging for the life of
the project, has included the following.
• 1998: Groundwater Side Channel (destroyed by Nisqually earthquake in 2001)
• 1999: Maplewood Large Woody Debris Levee Project
• 2000: Elliot Spawning Side Channel (1998 Corps over-dredging mitigation)
• 1999-2000: Lower Cedar River riparian plantings
• 2001 to 2011: Landsburg mitigation (annual gravel supplementation, except 2008)
• 2010: Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel (replaced Groundwater Side Channel)
• 2012: Elliot Spawning Channel flood damage repaired
The mitigation outlined above has included the following elements.
• Spawning Channels. The USAGE in coordination with the City has constructed several sockeye salmon
(Oncorhynchus nerka) spawning channels as mitigation for impacts from the 1998 dredging project
and cyclical maintenance dredging, and provided monitoring of fish utilization within the project reach
and the constructed spawning channels. The original Groundwater Side Channel constructed in 1998
at Ron Regis Park was supplemented with the Elliot Spawning Channel in 2000 to mitigate for the one-
time loss of redds resulting from the unanticipated channel adjustment upstream of the project
possibly exacerbated by the excessive dredging that occurred during project implementation in 1998.
The Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
(WDFW) included a provision requiring 10 years of performance monitoring and maintenance for the
Elliot Spawning Channel. When the Groundwater Side Channel was destroyed in 2001, the Elliot
Spawning Channel had been constructed and was providing mitigation necessary for the channel
adjustment and excessive dredging. The Elliot Spawning Channel fulfilled its necessary mitigation
needs for channel adjustment in the second year following construction, and continued to provide other
project mitigation in the absence of the Groundwater Channel as required by the 1997 project EIS, until
the Royal Hills channel was constructed in 2010. The Elliot Spawning Channel has been damaged by
floods and natural channel migration that has reduced flows and caused deposition affine sediments,
reducing the porosity of the porous levee resulting in decreased flows into the channel. The channel
was reconstructed in 2012, but has been subject to additional sedimentation due to insufficient flow
problems caused by changes in the Cedar River location that provides flow to the Elliot Channel.

• Large Woody Debris. Large woody debris (LWD) and bioengineered revetment placement along an
existing revetment at the Maplewood Golf Course.
• Riparian Plantings. Riparian plantings, including vegetation monitoring, at the following locations:
• Right bank from South Boeing Bridge to mouth (approximately 4,850 LF).
• Left bank from Logan Avenue to small aircraft hangars (approximately 3,800 LF).
• Gravel Supplementation. Stockpiling dredged gravel for future use and placement of up to 1,000 CY of
gravel per year for 10 to 15 years upstream at the Landsburg site as a salmon spawning habitat
enhancement measure.
NEPA and SEPA Processes
The USAGE 1998 project was a federal project authorized under Section 205 of the federal Flood Control
Act. The USAGE led the NEPA process, ensuring compliance with various environmental regulations in effect
at the time, and developing a NEPA Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which analyzed several project
alternatives, including the preferred alternative that was implemented in 1998. The EIS was previously
prepared and approved and included analysis for continued maintenance dredging needed to maintain the
flood protection benefits of the project, which is the current proposal. SEPA requirements were fulfilled by
the City of Renton through adoption of the existing NEPA environmental documentation for the entire
project (Final EIS)4 • Since the current maintenance dredging proposal was analyzed and approved in the
original NEPA action, which was adopted by the City for SEPA, we have identified the minor changes in the
project and environment that have occurred since 1998.
PROPOSED PROJECT
Proposed Action
The proposed action is maintenance of the 1998 USAGE Lower Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard
Reduction Project originally implemented in 1998. At the time of preparation and approval of the EIS for
the 1998 project, maintenance dredging was anticipated to be needed every three years 5 . Maintenance of
levees and floodwalls, and bank stabilization are also proposed as part of the maintenance project. The
design and extent of the current proposal is consistent with the original project. The current maintenance
work will take advantage of current technologies and methods that differ from the original project, which
will reduce overall environmental impacts. For example, more focused dredging methods will be used to
reduce deviation from the approved design. A complete detailed project description is included in the Joint
Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA), which is included as Appendix A to this letter.
The maintenance dredging depth will be approximately four feet, which is consistent with the USAGE 205
project permitted dredge design depth of four feet below the 1995 bed elevation (the permitted elevation

depth per the approved NEPA EIS document). The dredge width will be variable to match channel variations
along the length of the project, and will be designed to avoid impacts to stability of the river bank, including
existing bank protection features. The channel slope will match the 1998 USAGE design, except within the
transition area. The transition slope between Logan Avenue and Williams Avenue will be 0.63 percent.
Bank stabilization maintenance and repair are also proposed, with limited new armoring. Most of this work
will be on the left bank adjacent to the airport, with limited repair and new armoring (184 feet) on the right
bank near the existing floodwall downstream of the South Boeing Bridge. Approximately 10 percent of the
2,510 feet of existing bank stabilization on the left bank will be maintained and an additional 1,275 feet
will be repaired (replaced). Stabilization on the left bank will consist of a rock toe with bioengineered upper
slope, as allowed within the USAGE levee vegetation requirements, and the interstitial spaces of the rock
toe will be filled with stream gravel and cobble dredge material. The maintenance and repair of the
previously installed bank stabilization is needed to prevent bank erosion and protect the structural integrity
of the floodwalls that provide flood protection during, and following, the maintenance dredging activity.
Proposed Mitigation
Mitigation has been designed to offset unavoidable impacts caused by the proposed project. Proposed
mitigation will include the following items.
• Native Vegetation Plantings (on site). Native vegetation will be installed in riparian and channel fringe
habitats where feasible, based upon hydraulic conditions and within guidelines for vegetation along
levees and floodwalls set by USAGE. Native vegetation will be installed in the following locations: all
temporarily impacted riparian areas; along the left bank above Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in
areas outside the Vegetation Free Zone (VFZ); along vegetated benches along the left bank below
OHWM; and in selected locations along the right bank that have been identified to benefit from
additional plantings.
• FIiiing Void Space In Rlprap (on site). Interstitial spaces in all bank stabilization work areas proposed
as part of the project (new, repair and maintenance) will be filled with native dredge material to reduce
voids that may harbor predatory fish species and to provide suitable substrate for riparian plantings
where appropriate.
• Lower Reach Gabion Removal (on site). Gabion bank protection currently exists along the right bank
within Reach 1 (downstream of South Boeing Bridge). Removal of the gabions and replacement with
bioengineered bank stabilization measures (composed of a rock toe, geogrid reinforced soil lifts and
plantings), is proposed to improve nearshore habitat conditions and restore bank stabilization function.
The proposed improvement work is located near channel STA 22+25 and is 100 LF long.
• Spawning Channel Maintenance and Monitoring (off site).
• The City will continue to maintain the existing Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel at
approximately River Mile (RM) 3.5, as required by the original project 1997 EIS mitigation plan for
the initial and future maintenance dredging. This will promote ongoing functional value and
continue to compensate for impacts to spawning from the proposed maintenance project and
future maintenance projects.
• The City also intends to conduct maintenance of the Elliot Spawning Channel at approximately RM
4.7 to promote continued use by salmon for spawning as well as off-channel spawning and rearing
habitat to mitigate for measured channel adjustment impacts. Continued maintenance and

operation beyond that point is voluntary and will continue unless ongoing excessive maintenance
is required, it is frequently damaged, or significantly damaged in the future by floods resulting in a
major or on-going need to repair or restore the channel. Specific maintenance actions that have
been discussed with WDFW and the MIT are included in the proposed project action, as described
more fully in the Mitigation Work Plan section of this document.
• Lighting Impacts Reduction (on site and off site). The City will conduct an inventory of existing
City-owned lights within the project area along the Cedar River including a 200-foot buffer on each side
up to RM 2.1 upstream of 1-405. The inventory will provide data that can be used to develop the basis
for a lighting study. The lighting study will identify City-owned lights that can be modified (direction, bulb
type, shielding, removal, etc.) to reduce negative lighting impacts on the Cedar River habitat without
compromising public safety. Study recommendations will be prioritized and implemented to the
greatest extent feasible.
• Scour Monitoring Study. A scour monitoring study utilizing scour chains with accelerometers is
currently being implemented with the following goals: 1) to evaluate bed material disturbance depths
prior to the 2015 dredging, thus defining baseline sediment transport conditions, and 2) to monitor the
magnitude, extent, and rates of bed adjustment over the two spawning/high flow seasons following the
2015 dredging. The City has completed the permitting and contracting, and the scour chains have been
installed within the project reach for the 2014-2015 spawning and winter season.
• Wetland Mitigation Bank Credits (off site). The City plans to mitigate wetland impacts through use of
mitigation bank credits at the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank. The Springbrook
Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank instrument was approved in August 2006. The site was
constructed in 2007-2008 and allows an alternative to onsite mitigation for private and public projects
(City or WSDOT) with wetland impacts that require mitigation per City Code to achieve a no-net loss of
wetland functions and values. This wetland mitigation bank currently has sufficient credits available to
offset wetland impacts of this project.
Project Elements Consistent with Prior Approval
The following proposed project elements are consistent with the original environmental documentation
prepared for the project, including the Final EIS and SEPA approval by way of adoption.
• Maintenance action associated with existing project
• Project location and extent
• Depth of dredging
• Dredging methods and equipment types
• Equipment access locations and material handling areas
• Amount of material to be removed
• Inclusion of bank stabilization elements to prevent erosion
• Repair of existing stormwater outfalls
• Spawning channel maintenance as mitigation for dredge impacts
• Riparian plantings as mitigation for dredge impacts

• In-water work window for protection of aquatic life (June 15 -August 31)
Project Changes from Prior Approval
• Advancements in dredging technologies, which will improve the accuracy of dredging activities, and
promote adherence to the approved dredge design. This will reduce the environmental impact of the
project.
• Disposal and possible reuse of dredge spoils. This will have no net effect on the environmental impact
of the project, except as a beneficial effect where spoils will be reused on site to fill void spaces, reduce
predatory fish habitat, and create habitaVplanting benches.
• Extent and locations of riparian plantings. This will have a beneficial net environmental impact because
more extensive riparian plantings are proposed.
• Listing of Puget Sound steelhead under the federal Endangered Species Act since the time of the
previous dredge. The impact of dredging on this species is generally consistent with the impact to
Chinook salmon, which was evaluated as part of the 1998 project. Therefore, environmental impacts
will be consistent with previously prepared environmental documentation.
• Wetland impacts of 0.062 acres, which are proposed to be mitigated through purchase of Bank Credits.
Mitigation will adequately offset project impacts, resulting in no net environmental impact.
• Additional mitigation elements, including filling void spaces in riprap, removal of a section of existing
gabion basket, and lighting impacts reduction. These mitigation elements will have a beneficial
environmental impact.
SUMMARY AND CLOSURE
The proposed Cedar River maintenance dredge project is proposed as part of the requirements of the 1998
Army Corps of Engineers Lower Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project. The proposed
maintenance activities were identified in the original 1997 NEPA EIS for the project and were addressed in
the regulatory approvals and mitigation planningforthe 1998 dredge. The City has developed the proposed
maintenance project based on the original approved designs of the 1998 project. The scope of the project
remains the same, but the shoreline impacts from the left bank will be significantly reduced.
At this time, the USAGE has not made a decision on how they intend to fulfill NEPA obligations for the
proposed maintenance project. The USAGE has preliminarily indicated that they will not require a new EIS
or supplement to the original EIS. They will likely prepare an addendum or Environmental Assessment (EA)
related to the items that were not covered in the original Section 205 dredge project EIS as outlined in this
letter. The information presented in this letter is intended to assist the City with the SEPA process by re-
affirming the original NEPA/SEPA decision and identifying changes in the project and environment that are
outlined above. These changes are minor and are a result of advancements in technology, necessary
maintenance of flood structures, and additional mitigation voluntarily provided by the City. The changes
are, therefore, not expected to create significant environmental impacts outside of what was analyzed in
the original NEPA/SEPA documentation for the project.

River conditions have been altered as a result of channel construction, levee construction, bank armoring and
other structures. The channel is generally linear without meanders and the bank of the river is defined by
levees, flood walls, and riprap. However, several riverine wetlands (vegetated sand and gravel bars) that have
formed since the last dredge in 1998 have been identified in shallow areas below the OHWM of the Cedar River
within the project reach. One additional depressional wetland has been identified within the floodplain but is
above the OHWM.

51. Briefly describe the vegetation and habitat conditions on the property. ~
Vegetation below the OHWM is generally limited to riverine wetland areas at the channel margin, which are
dominated by reed canarygrass with some yellowflag iris. Riparian vegetation includes Japanese knotweed,
Himalayan blackberry, Scotch broom, tansy, butterfly bush, field bindweed, English ivy, native willows, bigleaf
maple, red alder, and horsetails. Much of the riparian buffer on the east bank (river right) is affected by park
landscaping including mowed grass and the native shrubs including Nootka rose, black twinberry, Oregon grape,
Pacific ninebark and other species. The river within the project reach has levees and floodwalls on both sides
for flood protection. Banks have been armored with a flood wall, riprap, concrete rubble, and/or gabion baskets.
Much of the armoring is currently failing. Riverbed sediment consists primarily of cobbles, gravels and with a
small fraction of finer materials (sand and silt).
Sm. Describe how the property is currently used. ~
Cedar River is a dredged channel that has been actively maintained for the last century as a flood control facility
to reduce the effects of flooding on adjacent properties including the Renton Municipal Airport, The Boeing
Company 737 production facilities, and a public park. The river is frequented by salmon, trout, and a wide
variety of birds and other wildlife. Extensive park facilities, including a paved pedestrian pathway, are present on
the east bank (river right) within the project reach, as well as on the west bank (river left) between the Logan Ave
and Williams St bridges. These facilities provide opportunity for nature enjoyment by the general public. There
is also a boat launch within the project reach for use by non-motorized watercraft only.

Adjacent properties include the Renton Municipal Airport, public park lands, Boeing facilities, two
apartmenUcondominium buildings, Renton Senior Center, retail restaurant, and a small industrial business.
So. Describe the structures (above and below ground) on the property, including their purpose(s) and current
condition. ~
Bank stabilization consisting of riprap, concrete rubble, timber bulkheads, and gabion baskets exists along much
of the shoreline. The property also includes flood control levees and concrete floodwalls on either side of the
river, a total of four bridges over the river, and a public trail. A portion of the public trail composed of concrete
and bricks is located immediately adjacent to the river. The downstream two bridges (North and South Boeing
Bridges) connect Boeing facilities with the airport, are not accessible to the public, and are maintained by
Boeing. The upstream two bridges are public street bridges for Logan Ave and Williams St. Numerous outfalls
discharge from both sides into the river at or near the shoreline. Sewer, water and other utilities (e.g.,
compressed air) are buried under the river bed in multiple locations within the project area. Overhead power
lines cross the river between North and South Boeing Bridges, and at Logan Ave.

less than 200 feet, Logan Ave N crosses the Cedar River near the upstream limit of the project (the upper end of
the project is at the Williams Ave S bridge, approximately 1,000 feet upstream to the southeast). The lower
reach of the project is accessible from E Perimeter Road on the west bank, which branches from Logan Ave S at
the southwest end of the Logan bridge, as well as from Nishiwaki Lane on the east bank, which can be accessed
from N. 5th Street approximately 0.5 miles further north on Logan Ave.
Part 6-Project Description
6a. Briefly summarize the overall project. You can provide more detail in 6b. ~
Maintenance dredging will be performed to maintain the project flood protection benefits, as required in the
Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) Operation & Maintenance Manual between the City of Renton and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE 2004). The threshold for periodic maintenance dredging is based on
ensuring flood protection against the 100-year recurrence interval event, with at least 90 percent reliability. As
the bed approaches the specified allowable elevation (Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile per USAGE
2004), anywhere within the project, provisions are to be made for channel dredging to maintain the design
level of protection. During maintenance dredging actions, the Cedar River channel within the project area will
be excavated to a depth of approximately 4 feet on average below the "Allowable Average Channel Bed
Profile" as defined in the PCA. The transition slope area will extend from Logan Ave. upstream to Williams
Avenue. The maximum transition area slope will be approximately 0.63%. Transition slope will gradually
reduce the dredge cut from the designed dredged channel bottom at Logan Avenue upstream to Williams
Avenue where it will meet the existing river bed level.
The proposed maintenance dredge action is similar in scope (depth and plan extents) to the Corps of
Engineers 205 project that was permitted in 1998, which also included maintenance dredging. The project
extents (width and depth of the dredge cut) along the river (North Boeing Bridge to Williams Avenue, or
Station 0+00 to 64+85) will be slightly smaller than the 205 project proposed and constructed in 1998
(dredging will actually terminate downstream of Williams Avenue, at Station 64+37.65). The dredge depth will
strictly adhere to the average depth of 4 feet (below allowable average channel bed profile) with a 1-ft over-
dredge allowance and will not exceed the depths permitted in the 1998 project. The total volume of dredged
material is estimated to be approximately 125,000 cu yds including contingency for sediment accumulation
between the May 2013 channel survey and the conditions at the time of the proposed dredging in 2015
(average accumulation of 9,700 cy per year in project area).
For discussion purposes, the river is segmented into three reaches:
1. North Boeing Bridge to South Boeing Bridge (Stations 0+00 to 39+00)
2. South Boeing Bridge to Logan Ave. (Stations 39+00 to 56+00)
3. Logan Ave. to W1ll1ams Ave. (Stations 56+00 to 64+85)
Width of the maintenance dredging will vary depending on location within the project area. The channel
bottom cut will be 90 feet wide at the north in Reach 1, narrowing in intervals along the project length to 60
feet channel width at the upstream limit in Reach 3. Dredge widths have been narrowed relative to the 1998
dredge to prevent undermining of existing flood control structures and river banks. Dredged side slopes will
be 3H:1V unless otherwise required for local bank stabilization maintenance work or if required for
geotechnical or structural stability of existing infrastructure (Bridges and I-Walls).
Bank stabilization work is proposed as an element of maintenance of the USAGE 205 Flood Control project.
Bank stabilization is limited to those areas of the flood control project requiring stabilization (levees and
floodwalls) based upon engineering analysis and design standards set forth by USAGE. Bank stabilization for
non-essential flood control project features are not proposed as part of this project. Bank stabilization work is
composed of the following types of work:
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 5 of 20
• Maintenance -Minor restoration of portions of displaced rock on existing bank stabilization features
while access to the areas is provided during the dredging work
• Repair -Replacement and reconstruction of existing deteriorated and failing bank stabilization features
• New Stabilization -Installation of new stabilization measures to ensure protection of flood control I-Walls
and levees
Numerous stormwater outfalls (both active and abandoned) are located within the project area and consist of
various sizes and types including concrete, plastic, and corrugated metal. Of these outfalls, approximately 20
are fitted with backflow prevention devices (tideflex valves) to protect upland areas against river flooding.
As part of the work and in conjunction with dredging and bank stabilization, repair to damaged outfalls will
occur. Because the river has continued to accumulate sediment some existing outfalls are buried and may
require local excavation to uncover, assess, and refit damaged backflow prevention valves and pipes.
Maintenance of existing outfalls will included in-kind replacement of existing damaged or deteriorated systems
including tideflex valves and sections of outfall pipe. Removal of accumulated sediment from active outfalls
may be performed as needed. It is estimated that up to 30 outfalls may require some level of repair and
maintenance, but this number will not be known until during construction.
Where active outfalls pass through bank stabilization (repair, maintenance, or new) modifications of the outfall
location may be required by extending or cutting off outfall pipe to match proposed site conditions. Damaged
pipes that penetrate through the existing floodwalls will require replacement and refitting as necessary.
Abandoned exposed outfalls extending into the river will be cut-off and disposed of offsite, as feasible, when
encountered. Due to the accumulation of sediments along the lower reach of the river, the exact number of
damaged and exposed outfalls will not be known until construction begins.
6b. Describe the purpose of the project and why you want or need to perform it. l!:lml
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Lower Cedar River Section 205 Project (the project) is a Flood
Hazard Reduction Project located in and along the lower 1.23 miles (2000 m) of the Cedar River in Renton,
Washington. The project consists of an actively maintained (dredged) river channel, and system of levees
and floodwalls that provide protection to the lower river and its extensive industrial and commercial
development, including the Renton Municipal Airport and the Boeing Company facility. Following the most
recent dredging operation performed in 1998 by USACE, the river bed has continued to fill with native river
sediment composed primarily of gravel as expected and identified as part of the original 1998 project
permitting and design.
Continued deposition in the river channel is expected to reduce the level of flood protection below the required
100-year flood recurrence event of the project flood protection system in the next two to three years, or
sooner. Therefore, the City has initiated the planning and preliminary design for maintenance dredging of the
river and other necessary maintenance actions to obtain construction permits with sufficient time to maintain
the 100-year flood protection, as required by the Project Cooperative Agreement (PCA) between the City and
USACE. Maintenance dredging will take place within the limits and grades of previous dredging work as
permitted within the original National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS).

• Identify where each element will occur in relation to the nearest waterbody.
• Indicate which activities are within the 100-year floodplain.
The project includes the following three primary elements: (1) Maintenance Dredging; (2) Bank Stabilization;
and (3) Outfall Repairs. These are described in detail below.
Maintenance Dredging
Maintenance dredging work for the flood control project will be conducted utilizing a combination of land-
based (excavator method) and water-based (floating dredge method) mechanical dredging equipment. Land-
based dredging operations will occur from temporary in-channel gravel berms and from floating equipment,
depending on the location of dredging and water levels present at the time of construction. Dredging work will
be conducted to the lines and grades as shown on the plans. The extent of dredging will be monitored by
GPS positioning equipment and visible stakes as necessary to verify that the dredging work stays within the
planned limits. The approach to conducting the work will be to focus the majority of work activities (including
access) along the left bank for the entire project reach. The right bank uplands and riverbank contains
significantly more infrastructure (levee, floodwalls, park, trails, roads and public access) and habitat (native
riparian vegetation) than along the left bank. Access points on the right bank will be limited, but some are
required to construct bank stabilization improvements, mitigation features, and launch water-based
equipment. These access points have been identified in areas of existing or proposed disturbance (including
at the boat ramp [near Sta. 7+60], at the gabion replacement area [Sta. 22+25], at 61h Street [Sta. 31+80), and
on the north side of Logan Avenue [Sta. 56+00]) to reduce impacts to existing riparian vegetation.
Floating Dredge
For water-based dredging, it is expected that the type of equipment utilized will be an excavator or crawler
crane mounted on a portable sectional barge (such as a flexi-float system). The sectional barge will be
mobilized to the site by truck, assembled, and launched either at the existing boat ramp on the right bank or at
another nearby left bank staging area. The barge and excavator system will be moved around the dredging
work area using a small transportable tug boat suitable for use in shallow water environments. The barge will
· be ,;ecured to the riverbed prior to dredging using spuds in the riverbed or anchor lines in the river. Dredged
material will be removed from the river bottom using either an excavator digging bucket or clamshell bucket
The bucket will place the dredged material onto a material barge, which will be fitted with side boards and filter
fabric to contain the dredged material and filter fine materials. Initial dewatering is accomplished while
material is on the barge deck as excess water is filtered and returned to the river. After completion of material
barge loading, the loaded barge will be transported by small tug to the material offload facility which will be at
up to two locations along the left bank of the project site. Offload areas will be located within areas which
allow access from the adjacent uplands and limit impacts to existing riparian habitat and flood control
infrastructure.
Temporary construction of an unloading platform will be required to unload dredged material from the barge,
re-handle the material, and load into trucks or place in a small stockpile located in the adjacent uplands. The
unloading platform will be composed of steel pile (vibratory driven sheetpile, pipe pile) or other similar
temporary shoring method that can be fullv removed after dredaina activities (such as ecolonv blocks, rock,
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 7 of 20
large polypropylene sacks filled with soil/gravel, or similar). Native riverbed material consisting of dredged
gravel and cobbles will be placed between the existing slope and steel pile to maintain a platform suitable for
excavators to unload the barge. The platform will be disassembled after completion of floating dredge
operations and impacted areas (levees, vegetation) restored, which may require minor earthwork. The upland
stockpile will be protected against erosion using standard BMPs as identified in the Temporary Erosion and
Sediment Control {TESC) Plan. The access platforms will be located along the left bank at approximately Sta.
8+50, 14+50, and 17+00.
Excavator Dredge
Dredging work will also be conducted utilizing land-based equipment operated from temporary gravel berms
and removable construction platforms located in the river channel below Ordinary High Water. Excavator
dredge operation will consist of a combination of multiple tracked excavators, crawler cranes, front end
loaders, bulldozers and dump trucks. This approach will require the land-based equipment to access the river
channel from the uplands at designated locations near the bridges (South Boeing Bridge Sta. 39+00, Logan
Avenue Sta. 56+00). A total of 17 access points are anticipated to be required along the left bank of the
project site with each being approximately 50 to 75 ft in length. Four access points along the right bank might
be needed for the dredging and or bank stabilization work. These will include disturbed areas located at the
boat ramp (near Sta. 7+60), at the gab ion replacement area (Sta. 22+25), at 61" Street (Sta. 31 +80), and on
the north side of Logan Avenue (Sta. 56+00). The boat ramp may also be used for launching work boats and
survey vessels. The stadium parking lot access will only be used if absolutely necessary to complete right
bank work between South Boeing and Logan Avenue Bridges. The work will be initiated within the upper
reach between Logan and Williams Avenue Bridges.
The excavator method will require the use of native dredged gravel and cobble material to build a temporary
working platform or berm/bench which has a top elevation above the anticipated river water level. To initiate
the work, a limited amount of imported temporary fill may be needed at the access point and berm at the toe
of the access point. The temporary berm will be stream bed type material similar in size and character to the
existing channel substrate either taken from the floating dredge operation or from an approved offsite sand
and gravel operation. Once excavation equipment is mobilized into the river channel, bed material will be
dredged and placed within the left bank side of the channel to create a temporary berm to serve as a working
platform for construction equipment. Temporary berm will be constructed of material excavated from the bed
material located immediately adjacent to berm area as well as material removed from Reach 1 area if needed
to start the berm feature. The temporary berm will be removed as the dredging work progresses in a
downstream direction. Material removed from the channel and temporary berm will be loaded into trucks and
transported to rehandling areas at access points. Rehandling areas will be constructed using dredge material
to provide a ramp and bench for equipment to transfer materials from the channel side over the flood control
structures (I-Wall and Levee) into trucks located along the adjacent access roads (Airport and Frontage
Road). Rehandling areas will be removed after completion of dredge operations and impacted areas (levees,
vegetation) restored, which may require minor earthwork.
Bank Stabilization
Multiple excavators and trucks will be used to construct the bank stabilization features. Imported rock and soil
materials will be delivered to temporary work platforms by truck, rehandled and then placed using excavators.
Bank stabilization work will be conducted in coordination with and at the same time as the maintenance
dredging work as each reach of channel is completed. Slight differences in construction methods for the three
types of proposed bank stabilization are summarized below.
Maintenance
Minor maintenance of existing bank stabilization features will be performed by removing damaged and
displaced stones, Armorflex blocks, and reconstruction of small affected sections as needed to restore
continuous bank protection, from toe to top of slope, along the project. The work will include importing some
stones to fill gaps of displaced materials (stones and blocks), excavation, and demolition of short portions of
existing bank. To the extent possible, existing slopes and geometries will be maintained and the overall
footprint will not be increased compared to existing conditions. Upon completion of maintenance rock
placement, native gravel/cobble (obtained from maintenance dredging work) will be placed on the slopes to fill
voids in the bank protection where maintenance activities take place.
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 8 of20
,,".,
Repair
In repair areas where the bank stabilization will be reconstructed or replaced, bank stabilization will be
composed of angular rock placed at a 2H:1V slope. The stabilization will be constructed as the temporary
construction berm or platform is removed. The existing bank stabilization will be removed and disposed
offsite. A suitable subgrade will be established using excavators. Geotextile fabric will then be placed on the
excavated slope, and small bedding stone (quarry spalls) will then be placed on the geotextile fabric to secure
it in place. Armor rock will then be placed and compacted to form a tight fitting mass of stone working form
the toe to the top of the slope. A narrow bench at the top of the slope will be constructed where space is
available. Voids in the finished rock slope will be filled with native gravel/cobble dredge materials. A
soil/gravel mixture will also be placed on top of the rock in the vegetation free zone (within 15 feet of the
floodwall and levee prism) for establishment of native herbaceous vegetation. The mixture will be primarily
composed of native riverbed material from dredging operations, mixed with imported topsoil to promote plant
establishment and growth. On the left bank, from Station 37+15 to Station 41+90, a narrow habitat/planting
bench will be retained to provide suitable areas for establishment of inundation tolerant riparian vegetation
such as willows or other appropriate species. Plantings will be located such that they are in conformance with
guidelines for vegetation near federal levees and floodwalls (ETL 1110-2-571, Guidelines for Landscape
:>Planting & Vegetation Management at Levees, Floodwalls, Embankment Dams, and Appurtenant Structures,
· ·.2009; Seattle Variance, PL 84-99 Levee Vegetation Management Information Paper, 1995).
New
<Bank erosion has occurred along the toe of the floodwall that was constructed by the USAGE without any
'·bank stabilization measures. The design team identified one location where the erosion is a risk to the
-~.uctural stability of the floodwall. New bank stabilization will be constructed at this location in a manner
· similar to the Repair areas, except that removal of existing bank stabilization will not occur. The new bank
· Sliabilization will be limited to 240 linear feet along the right bank of the river near station 30+66. For new
stabilization on the right bank, temporary construction platforms may span across the river from the left bank
:tc a How access to the work area for both excavation and construction of the bank stabilization. This will limit
~iparian impacts and protect the existing floodwall (I-wall). Access from uplands at 6'h Street will also be
required. Platforms will be removed upon completion of the bank stabilization and dredging and the area will
be restored to pre-disturbance contours.
Outfall Repairs
.Numerous stormwater outfalls (both active and abandoned) are located within the project area and consist of
~irarious sizes and types including concrete, plastic, and corrugated metal. Of these outfalls, approximately 20
·-are fitted with backflow prevention devices (tideflex valves) to protect upland areas against flooding.
"As part of the work and in conjunction with dredging and bank stabilization, maintenance and repair to
damaged outfalls will occur. Because the river has continued to accumulate sediment some existing outfalls
are buried and may require local excavation to uncover, assess, and refit damaged backflow prevention
valves and pipes.
· Maintenance of existing outfalls will included in-kind replacement of existing damaged or deteriorated systems
including tideflex valves and sections of outfall pipe. Removal of accumulated sediment from active outfalls
may be performed as needed. It is estimated that up to 30 outfalls may require some level of repair and
maintenance.
Where active outfalls pass through bank stabilization (repair, maintenance, or new) modifications of the outfall
location may be required by extending or cutting off outfall pipe to match proposed site conditions. Where
pipe penetrations through the existing floodwalls are damaged, pipe replacement and refitting will occur.
Abandoned exposed outfalls extending into the river will be cut-off and disposed of offsite, as feasible, when
encountered.
BMPs will be implemented to isolate the repair areas prevent pipe repair materials from entering the water
durin construction.

7g. Summarize what the mitigation plan is meant to accomplish, and describe how a watershed approach
was used to design the plan. l!l§]Q]
Wetlands that will be impacted are transient features consisting of seasonally vegetated gravel bars that shift
in extent and location through time. It is anticipated that similar features will develop after dredging. Impact to
wetlands are therefore considered temporary. Nonetheless, mitigation is proposed for impacts to these small
areas at standard ratios. Mitigation for impacts to vegetated gravel bars that have developed within the
channel since the previous dredge will be mitigated through use of wetland and habitat mitigation bank credits
at the Springbrook Creek site. The Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank instrument was
approved in August 2006. The site was constructed in 2007-2008 as an alternative to on-site mitigation for
private and public projects (City or WSDOT) with wetland impacts that require mitigation per City Code to
achieve a no-net loss of wetland functions and values.

Temporary wetland fill in the amount of approximately (510 CY) will result from construction of the temporary
berms for land-based dredging. This fill will include native excavated sandy gravel/cobble material and may
also include a limited amount of imported sandy gravel/cobblefill. Permanent fill in the amount of 2 CY will
result from bank stabilization repair. This fill will include geotextile fabric, small bedding stone (quarry spalls),
and armor rock. Voids in the rock will be filled with native gravel cobble and then a soil/gravel mixture will be
placed at the final grade to provide a substrate for native riparian vegetation plantings. Total fill associated

total estimated volume of dredged material that will be removed from the project area is estimated at less than
125,000 CY. A very small fraction of this will be removed from within the wetlands, as outlined in Table 7h.
Management of dredged material will be based on the results of physical (grain size) and chemical (results of
sediment sampling and analysis plan) characteristics. The proposed dredge material reuse and disposal
locations include the following:
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 11 of20
• Onsite beneficial reuse
• Filling interstitial void space of onsite rock stabilization structures.
• Retention of habitaUplanting bench features
• Offsite Upland reuse -transportation to offsite location for beneficial re-use by others.
• Upland landfill if deemed to not be suitable for beneficial upland reuse.
Characterization of dredged materials proposed for both in-water and upland reuse will be conducted through
a U.S. Army Corps approved sediment sampling and analysis plan (SAP), which will be developed and
executed in accordance with the Dredge Material Management Program (DMMP) protocol. The SAP will
include a description for vibracoring within the lower reach (where feasible) and grab sampling in the
remainder of the project areas for sampling of dredge material taken from identified dredged material
management units, conventional and chemical analysis of samples, and follow-up biological testing if
determined to be required. Physical testing will consist of sieve analysis to determine suitability for beneficial
onsite in-channel reuse and for reuse offsite in upland areas. The results of the material characterization will
be used for evaluation of all proposed reuse and disposal options. Re-handling of dredge material will occur
at the designated re-handling areas for loading and trucking to a City approved upland facility.
Part 8-Waterbodies (other than wetlands): Impacts and Mitigation

JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 12 of 20
Avoidance
• Wetlands. The dredge prism has been designed to avoid impacts to most wetland areas identified in
the project area.
• Native Riparian Vegetation. No new equipment access points are proposed on the right bank, where
native vegetation is present. Equipment will access the river from the left bank, where invasive
vegetation is dominant, or from existing access points on the right bank that do not require vegetation
removal. Bank protection work will be completed without removing mature native trees, if present,
where feasible.
• Bank Conditions. No new steel wire gabion structures are proposed for bank stabilization.
Minimization
• Riparian Vegetation Removal. Impacts associated with equipment access points and proposed bank
work that require removal of invasive vegetation (native vegetation will generally not be removed, except
for a few small native trees that will be removed from the left bank at access points) will be minimized by
re-planting affected areas with native vegetative to the extent allowed by the USACE vegetation
management standards (USACE Technical Letter No. 1110-2-571, April 10, 2009, "Guidelines for
Landscape Planting and Vegetation Management at Levees, Floodwalls, Embankment Dams, and
Appurtenant Structures" applies to left bank vegetation, and USACE Seattle District Information Paper
PL 84-99, February 28, 1995, "Levee Vegetation Management" applies to the right bank vegetation).
• Spawning Habitat. The project has been designed to minimize impacts to spawning areas to the
maximum extent practical within constraints of project objectives. The dredge prism has been designed
to result in similar flow depth and velocity characteristics as the existing pre-project condition in dense
spawning areas, including the sub-reaches between Williams and Logan Avenue bridges and between
Logan Avenue and South Boeing Bridges. The only sub-reach that is anticipated to be affected by
alteration of flow depth and velocity is downstream of the South Boeing Bridge, which will have
increased depth and reduced velocity due to the increased effect of backwater from Lake Washington.
However, spawning in this reach occurs sporadically and in much lower densities than the other two
reaches further upstream, and is generally limited to the channel margins. The dredge prism minimizes
impacts to the channel margins and it is anticipated that some limited spawning may continue to occur in
the lower reach and should increase with time following the dredge.
• Channel Adjustment. Transition slope augmentation (roughened channel/grade control) was
considered with the goal of improving channel stability and minimizing upstream impacts to redds during
the first year after construction as a result of channel adjustment. However, it was determined that
construction and risk associated with grade control outweighed the potential benefits. Allowing the
channel to adjust naturally without grade control in the transition slope has been identified by the design
team and regulatory agencies as the preferred option to minimize adverse impacts to in-stream habitat.
• Predator Habitat. The effects of bank improvements on predator habitat will be minimized by infilling
void spaces with dredged material to reduce predator habitat. Bank improvements include maintenance
of existing rip rap, repair of failing bank protection with new riprap, and installation of new riprap in areas
previously vulnerable to erosion.
• Bank Conditions. The effects of bank improvements on fish habitat conditions will be minimized by
planting native vegetation where allowed by the Corps levee standards.
• Construction BMPs/Sediment and Erosion Control. Equipment used for dredging or on/near water
will be checked regularly to ensure no fluids are leaking. BMP's will be employed to prevent
construction stormwater runoff from the uplands into the river. Work windows (June 15 through August
31) will be enforced to reduce the presence of migrating salmon.

• If you already completed 7g you do not need to restate your answer here. [!m!Q]
Detailed descriptions of proposed mitigation activities are included in the project Mitigation Plan and have
been incorporated into the project design. The following mitigation activities are proposed to compensate for
project impacts:
• Vegetation Plantings. Native vegetation will be installed in riparian and channel fringe habitats where
feasible based upon hydraulic conditions and within guidelines for vegetation along levees and
floodwalls set by USAGE. Vegetation plantings include the following:
• Temporarily Impacted Riparian Areas. Equipment access points and bank stabilization work areas
that lack vegetation after construction is complete will be restored by installing native grass and low
growing herbaceous vegetation within the Vegetation Free Zone (VFZ), and native shrub
vegetation in locations outside the VFZ.
• Left Bank Above OHWM. The project team has identified areas along the left bank, above the
OHWM, that are suitable for additional native riparian plantings based on the applicable VFZ.
These areas will be cleared of invasive species prior to planting as needed.
• Vegetated Benches Below OHWM. The project has been designed to accommodate gradually
sloped benches along/near the left bank in select locations. These benches are located below the
OHWM at the channel fringe and are expected to be subject to water level fluctuations within the
range acceptable for appropriate plantings. The vegetated benches will resemble naturally
occurring vegetated gravel bars similar to those that currently occur in some locations within the
Cedar River.
• Filling Void Space in Riprap. Interstitial spaces in all bank stabilization areas, proposed as part of the
project (new, repair and maintenance), will be filled with native dredge material to reduce voids that may
harbor predatory fish species and to provide suitable substrate for riparian plantings where appropriate.
• Lower Reach Gabion Replacement. Gabions exist along the right bank within Reach 1 (downstream
of South Boeing Bridge). Gabions were initially installed in 1976 to provide protection of the river bank
but their condition has deteriorated. Removal of the gabions and replacement with a soft bank
bioengineered stabilization measure (composed of a rock toe, geogrid reinforced soil lifts and plantings),
is proposed to improve nearshore habitat conditions and restore bank stabilization function. The
proposed improvement work is located near channel Station 22+25.
Spawning Channel Maintenance and Monitoring. The City will continue to maintain the existing
Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel at approximately River Mile 3.5, as required by the original
project 1997 EIS mitigation plan for the initial and future maintenance dredging. This will promote
ongoing functional value and continue to compensate for impacts to spawning from the proposed
maintenance project and future maintenance projects. The City will also continue to maintain the
existing Elliot Spawning Channel at approximately River Mile 4. 7 unless it is frequently damaged, or
significantly damaged in the future by floods resultino in a maier or on-going need to repair or restore the
JARPA Revision 2012.1 Page 14 of 20
channel. The City will consult with the local habitat mangers prior to any decision to discontinue
maintenance or to not to repair/restore the Elliot Spawning Channel due to flood damages.
• Lighting Impacts Reduction. The City will conduct a study to inventory existing City owned lights in
the project area and along the Cedar River up to 1-405. The study will identify City owned lights that can
be modified (direction, bulb type, shielding, removal, etc.) to reduce negative lighting impacts on the
Cedar River habitat without compromising public safety.

INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Lower Cedar River Section 205 Project (the project) is a
Flood Hazard Reduction Project located in and along the lower 1.23 miles (2,000 meters) of the
Cedar River in Renton, Washington (Figure 1). The project consists of an actively maintained (dredged)
river channel, and system of levees and floodwalls that provide protection to the lower river and its
extensive industrial and commercial development, including the Renton Municipal Airport and The Boeing
Company 737 production facility. Following the most recent dredging operation performed in 1998 by
USAGE, the river bed has continued to fill with native river sediment, composed primarily of gravel.
This aggradation was expected and identified during the original 1998 project permitting and design.
Continued deposition in the river channel is expected to compromise the project flood protection system
in the next two to three years, or sooner. Therefore, the City of Renton (the City), as the USAGE Section
205 Project local sponsor, has initiated the planning and preliminary design for maintenance dredging of
the river and other necessary maintenance actions to obtain construction permits with sufficient time to
maintain the 100-year flood protection benefits, as required by the Operation and Maintenance Manual
(O&M Manual) between the City and USAGE. Maintenance dredging will take place within the limits and
grades of previous dredging work as permitted within the original National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (USAGE, 1997).
The proposed maintenance dredging will result in impacts to the project area including; riparian
vegetation removal, bank armoring, altered flow characteristics, channel adjustment and wetland
impacts. These impacts were anticipated during approval of long-term cyclical dredging beginning in
1998, as documented in the EIS and compensatory mitigation plan developed at that time
(USAGE, undated), with the following exception: wetlands were not previously documented within the
project area. This mitigation plan addresses compensatory mitigation that is supplemental to the original
mitigation implemented for the 1998 dredge project, which was approved as long-term mitigation for
cyclical dredging operations, as requested by regulatory agencies during federal and state permitting
processes for the current proposal.
The following mitigation was previously implemented in fulfillment of permit requirements for the
1998 dredge: construction of a groundwater sockeye salmon spawning and rearing channel,
bioengineering of an existing revetment with large woody debris (LWD), riparian plantings, and gravel
supplementation. In addition, the Elliot Spawning/Rearing Side Channel was permitted and constructed
in 2000 to mitigate for unanticipated channel adjustment impacts associated with the Corps over
dredging in 1998 and the potential one-time loss of 1,800 sockeye salmon redds.
Previously implemented mitigation elements are detailed in the Historic and Current Land Use
sub-section of the Baseline Information section in this report.
This mitigation plan also describes avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures proposed to offset
impacts of the current proposal. Proposed project mitigation will include: invasive species management,
native vegetation plantings, filling void space in riprap, lower reach gabion removal, spawning channel
maintenance and monitoring, lighting impacts reduction, a scour monitoring study, and acquisition of
wetland mitigation bank credits.
The format of this document specifically follows regulatory guidance required by the USAGE (2010a).

Project Description
The Project includes the following proposed improvements:
• Maintenance Dredging
• Mobilization and temporary access improvements.
• Dredging to design depths.
• Temporary stockpiling, haul and disposal of dredged materials.
• Protection of the environment and Best Management Practices (BMPs).
• Airport safety and traffic control.
• Parks & Recreational use and safety.
• Bank Stabilization
• Maintenance -minor restoration of portions of displaced rock on existing bank stabilization
features during the dredging work.
• Repair -replacement and reconstruction of existing severely deteriorated and failing bank
stabilization features at flood control I-walls and levees.
• New Stabilization -installation of new stabilization measures to ensure protection and structural
stability of the flood control I-wall at approximate river mile (RM) 0.59 to 0.63 (station
[STA] 31 +16 to 33+00 on the right bank [all stationing presented in this document is relative to
the dredge centerline]).
• Outfall Repairs
• Excavation of buried outfalls as needed for inspection and necessary repairs.
• Maintenance and replacement of existing backflow valves at outfalls.
• Minor repairs to damaged outfall pipes including shortening or lengthening pipe protrusions
without an increase in pipe size or discharge rates as needed in coordination with other project
improvements.
• Mitigation
• Removal and control of invasive plant species.
• Vegetation plantings to improve riparian habitat in the lower river.
• Filling void space in rip rap bank protection to reduce predator habitat.
• Lower reach gabion bank protection removal and replacement with bioengineered bank
protection features.
• Spawning channel maintenance and monitoring.
• Lighting impact reduction on City-owned property within a 200-foot buffer along the lower river.
• Wetland mitigation bank credits for minor wetland impacts.
Project Reaches
Project work is described relative to three reaches (Figure 2), where right bank refers to the east bank
and left bank to the west bank. Improvements proposed in each reach are also summarized below:
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 2

Project Details
The following sections describe the proposed actions in greater detail. Detail sheets prepared for the
Joint Aquatic Resource Permit Application (JAR PA) are included with this report as Appendix A.
MAINTENANCE DREDGING
Maintenance dredging is needed to maintain the project flood protection benefits, as required in the
Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA), executed between the Corps and City in 1998, and the project
O&M Manual between the City of Renton and USACE (USACE, 2004). The threshold for periodic
maintenance dredging is based on ensuring flood protection against the 100-year recurrence interval
event, with at least 90 percent reliability. As the bed elevation approaches the specified allowable
elevation (Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile per USACE, 2004), anywhere within the project,
provisions are to be made for channel maintenance dredging to maintain the design level of protection.
During maintenance dredging actions, the Cedar River channel within the project area will be excavated
to an average depth of 4 feet below the "Allowable Average Channel Bed Profile" as defined in the
O&M Manual. The maximum slope will be 0.63 percent within the transition slope area which extends
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 3
File No. 0693-073-00
from Logan Avenue upstream to Williams Avenue. Transition zone slope will gradually reduce the dredge
cut from the designed dredged channel bottom at Logan Avenue upstream to Williams Avenue where it
will transition into the existing river stream bed level.
The proposed maintenance dredge action is similar in scope (depth and plan extents) to the original
USAGE project that was assessed and permitted in 1998, which also included maintenance dredging.
The planned dredge widths will be slightly smaller than proposed and conducted in 1998. The dredge
depth will strictly adhere to an average depth of 4 feet (below allowable average channel bed profile) with
a 1-foot over-depth allowance and will not exceed the depths permitted in the 1998 project. The total
estimated volume of dredged material is estimated to be approximately 125,000 CY including
contingency for sedimentation accumulation between the May 2013 survey and the conditions at the
time of dredging in 2015 (average accumulation of 9,700 CY per year in project area). Width of the
maintenance dredging will accommodate the variable channel width and will vary depending on location
within the project area. The channel bottom cut will be 90 feet wide in Reach 1, narrowing in intervals
along the project length to a 60-foot channel width at the upstream limit in Reach 3. Dredged width has
been narrowed further in certain locations, relative to the 1998 dredge, to prevent undermining of
structures and river banks and to avoid wetland impacts. Dredged side slopes will be 3H:1V unless
otherwise required for local bank stabilization maintenance work or if required for geotechnical or
structural stability of existing infrastructure (Bridges and I-walls).
Floating Dredge
For water-based dredging in Reach 1, it is expected that the type of equipment utilized will be an
excavator or crawler crane mounted on a portable sectional barge (such as a flexi-float system).
The sectional barge will be mobilized to the site by truck, assembled, and launched at one of the left bank
offloading platforms. The barge and excavator system will be moved around the dredging work area
using a small transportable tug boat suitable for use in shallow water environments. The barge would be
secured to the riverbed prior to dredging using spuds placed in the riverbed or anchor lines. Dredged
material will be removed from the river bottom using either an excavator digging bucket or clamshell
bucket. The bucket will place the dredged material onto a material barge, which will be fitted with side
boards and filter fabric to contain the dredged material and filter fines. Initial dewatering is accomplished
while material is on the barge deck as excess water is filtered and returned to the river. After completion
of material barge loading, the loaded barge would be transported by small tug to material offload facilities
at three locations along the left bank of the project site. Offload areas will be located within areas which
allow access from the adjacent uplands and limit impacts to existing functional riparian habitat and flood
control infrastructure.
Temporary construction platforms will be required to access the river and offload dredged material from
the barge, re-handle the material, and load the dredge material into trucks or place it temporarily in a
small stockpile located in the adjacent uplands. The platforms will be composed of steel pile
(vibratory driven sheet or pipe pile) or other similar temporary shoring method (such as ecology blocks,
rock, large polypropylene sacks filled with gravel, or similar) that can be fully removed after dredging
activities. Natural gravel/cobble fill from dredging will be placed between the existing slope and
temporary shoring system to construct a platform suitable for excavators to unload the barge.
The platform will be dissembled and completely removed after completion of floating dredge operations
and impacted areas (levees, vegetation) restored. The upland stockpile, if necessary, will be protected
against erosion using standard BMPs.
GEOENGINEER~
The offloading platforms will be located approximately at
December 4, 2014 Page4
File No. 0693-073-00
STAs 8+00, 14+00, and 16+50. Floating dredge work will be initiated from one of the offloading
platforms, from which the float will be lowered into the river with a crane, and then an excavator can drive
onto the float.
Excavator
Dredging work will also be conducted utilizing land-based equipment operated from temporary gravel
berms and removable construction platforms located in the river channel below ordinary high water
(OHW). Excavator dredge operations will consist of a combination of multiple tracked excavators, crawler
cranes, front end loaders, bulldozers and dump trucks. This approach will require the land-based
equipment to access the river channel from the uplands at designated locations near the bridges
(South Boeing Bridge at RM 0.74/STA 39+00, Logan Avenue at RM 1.06/STA 56+00). A total of
17 access points are anticipated to be required along the left bank of the project site with each being
approximately 50 to 75 feet in length. Four access points along the right bank might be needed for the
dredging and/or bank stabilization work. These will include the boat ramp at RM 0.14 (near STA 7+60),
the gabion replacement area at RM 0.42 (STA 22+25), adjacent to 6th Avenue at RM 0.6 (STA 31 +80),
and on the north side of Logan Avenue bridge at RM 1.06 (STA 56+00). The boat ramp will also be used
for launching work boats and survey vessels. The stadium parking lot access would only be used if
absolutely necessary to complete right bank work between South Boeing and Logan Avenue Bridges.
The work will be initiated within the upper reach between Logan and Williams Avenue Bridges.
The excavator method will require the use of excavated native gravel material from the dredge operation
to build a temporary working platform or berm/bench which has a top elevation above the water surface
elevation anticipated during construction. To initiate the work, a limited amount of imported temporary
fill may be needed at the access point and berm at the toe of the access point. The temporary berm will
be stream bed-type material either taken from the floating dredge operation or from an approved offsite
sand and gravel operation. Once excavation equipment is mobilized, additional bed material will be
dredged and placed within the left bank side of the channel to create a temporary berm that will serve as
a working platform for construction equipment. The temporary berm will be constructed of material
excavated from the bed material located immediately adjacent to berm area as well as material removed
from Reach 1 area if needed to start the berm feature. The temporary berm will be removed as the
dredging work progresses in a downstream direction. Material removed from the channel and temporary
berm will be loaded into trucks and transported to re-handling areas near the access points. Re-handling
areas will be constructed using dredge material to provide a ramp and bench for equipment to transfer
materials from the channel over the flood control structures (I-wall and Levee) into trucks located along
the adjacent access roads (Airport and Frontage Road).
BANK STABILIZATION
Bank stabilization work is proposed as an element of maintenance of the USAGE 205 Flood Control
project. Bank stabilization is limited to those areas of the flood control project requiring stabilization
(levees and floodwalls) based upon engineering analysis and design standards set forth by USAGE.
The areas identified for bank stabilization are the maximum extents needed to identify the maximum
amount of potential project disturbance. A smaller area may be constructed based on the conditions at
the time of construction and available construction funding, therefore the minimization measures such as
filling void spaces will be commensurate with the amount of bank stabilization. Bank stabilization for
non-essential flood control project features are not proposed as part of this project. Bank stabilization
work is composed of the following types of work:
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 5
File Nu. 0693-073-00
• Maintenance -Minor restoration of portions of displaced rock on existing bank stabilization features
while access to the areas is provided during the dredging work.
• Repair -Replacement and reconstruction of existing deteriorated and failing bank stabilization
features.
• New Stabilization -Installation of new stabilization measures to ensure protection of the right-bank
flood control I-wall at approximate RM 0.59 to 0.63 (STA 31+16 to 33+00). The bank in this reach
has eroded since the 1998 dredge, which presents a risk to the structural stability of the I-wall, if not
stabilized.
Multiple excavators and trucks will be used to construct the bank stabilization features. Imported rock
and soil materials from an approved source will be delivered to temporary work platforms by truck,
re-handled and then placed using excavators. Bank stabilization work will be conducted in coordination
with and at the same time as the maintenance dredging work as each reach of the channel is completed.
Slight differences in construction methods for the three types of proposed bank stabilization are
summarized in the following sections.
The table below summarizes the locations and need for bank stabilization based upon field inspection
and engineering analysis. See also Figure 3 for a plan view illustrating these locations.

2 Maintenance locations represent general areas with spot maintenance as needed. Approximately 10 percent of the total existing
bank armoring was identified as needing maintenance. The total for maintenance therefore represents only a subset of the lineal
length of bank included in the maintenance areas.
Maintenance
Minor maintenance of existing bank stabilization features will be performed by removing damaged and
displaced stones, concrete blocks (Armorflex), and reconstruction of small affected sections as needed to
restore continuous protection from toe to top of slope along the project reach. The work will include
importing some stones to fill gaps of displaced protection (stones and blocks), excavation, and demolition
of short portions of existing bank. To the extent possible, existing slopes and geometries will be
maintained and the footprint will not increase compared to existing conditions. It is estimated that bank
stabilization maintenance work will be required throughout approximately 10 percent of the area
illustrated as 'Maintenance' on Figure 3. Upon completion of maintenance rock placement, native
graveljcobble (obtained from dredging work) will be placed on the slopes to fill voids in the rock where
maintenance activities take place. This will reduce predator habitat and compensate for impacts related
to bank stabilization maintenance.
Repair
In repair areas where the bank stabilization will be reconstructed or replaced, bank stabilization will be
composed of angular rock placed at a 2H:1V slope. The stabilization will be constructed as the temporary
construction berm or platform is removed in conjunction with progression of dredging activities. First, the
existing bank stabilization will be removed, sorted and unusable materials will be disposed offsite.
A suitable subgrade will be established using excavators. Geotextile fabric will then be placed on the
excavated slope, and small bedding stone (quarry spalls) will then be placed on the geotextile fabric to
secure it in place. Armor rock will then be placed and compacted to form a tight fitting mass of stone
working to form the toe to the top of the slope. A narrow planting bench will be constructed where space
is available between the streambank toe and the top of the dredge cut slope. Voids in the finished rock
slope will be filled with native gravel/cobble materials below OHW. A soil/gravel mixture will also be
placed on top of the slope to provide appropriate planting areas for native herbaceous vegetation in the
required vegetation free zone (VFZ) located within 15 feet of the floodwall and levee prism.
The soil/gravel mixture will be primarily composed of native riverbed material from dredging operations,
mixed with imported topsoil to promote plant establishment and growth. On the left bank, from RM 0.70
to 0.79 (STA 37+20 to 41 +90), a narrow habitaVplanting bench will be retained to provide suitable areas
for establishment of inundation-tolerant riparian vegetation, such as willows or other species.
Plantings will be located in conformance with guidelines for vegetation near federal levees and flood walls

as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) vegetation restrictions imposed as a result of proximity to the
airport.
New
Bank erosion has occurred along the toe of the floodwall that was constructed by the USAGE without any
bank stabilization. The design team identified one location where erosion presents a risk to the structural
stability of the floodwall. New bank stabilization will be constructed at this location in a manner similar to
the repair areas, except that removal of existing bank stabilization materials will not occur.
New stabilization will occur on the right bank at the toe of the I-wall located at RM 0.59 to
0.63 (STA 31 +16 to 33+00). The limits of this new work have been minimized to the extent feasible,
which has resulted in avoiding the need to remove any mature trees from the riparian fringe. The work
will occur from temporary construction platforms that span across the river from the left bank to allow
access to the work area for both excavation and construction of the bank stabilization. Access from
uplands at 6th Street will also be required. Temporary access platforms will be removed upon completion
of the bank stabilization and dredging.
OUTFALL REPAIRS
Numerous stormwater outfalls (both active and abandoned) are located within the project area and
consist of various sizes and types including concrete, plastic, and corrugated metal. Of these outfalls,
approximately 20 are fitted with backflow prevention devices (Tideflex® valves) to protect upland areas
against flooding.
As part of the work and in conjunction with dredging and bank stabilization, repair to damaged outfalls
will occur. Because the river has continued to accumulate sediment some existing outfalls are buried
and may require local excavation to uncover, assess, and refit damaged backflow prevention valves and
pipes.
Maintenance of existing outfalls will include in-kind replacement of existing damaged or deteriorated
systems including Tideflex® valves and sections of outfall pipe. Removal of accumulated sediment from
active outfalls will be performed as needed. It is estimated that up to 27 outfalls may require some level
of repair and maintenance.
Where active outfalls pass through bank stabilization (repair, maintenance, or new), minor modifications
of the outfall location may be required by extending or cutting off outfall pipe to match proposed site
conditions. Where damaged pipes penetrate through the existing floodwalls, replacement and refitting
will occur.
Abandoned exposed outfalls extending into the river will be cut off, plugged and disposed of offsite, as
feasible, when encountered. BMPs will be implemented to isolate the repair areas and prevent pipe
repair materials from entering the water during construction. Bank stabilization is not proposed at these
locations except as specifically identified in the project drawings.

BASELINE INFORMATION
Location
The site is located on the Cedar River at the south end of Lake Washington in Renton, Washington within
Township 23 North, Range 5 East, Sections 7, 17 and 18. The project is within Water Resources
Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 (Cedar/Sammamish) and Hydrologic Unit Code (HUCJ 17110012
(Lake Washington). The Williams Avenue South Bridge is the upstream (southern) limit of the site, and
the mouth of the Cedar River at Lake Washington is the downstream (northern) site boundary.
Renton Municipal Airport is located west of the site and The Boeing Company 737 production facility is
located east of the site. A linear park corridor owned and operated by the City is located along the east
bank of the site between the river and Boeing. Several other commercial/industrial developments are
also present adjacent to the project area. The project location is shown on Figure 1 and baseline
conditions within the project reach are shown on Figure 2.
Aquatic Resources
Wetland, stream and riparian habitat features have been documented throughout the project reach
(Cedar River Wetland and Stream Report, GeoEngineers, 2013; included as Appendix 8). In general,
wetland, river and riparian habitats are currently degraded and beneficial functions are compromised.
Within the project reach, the Cedar River is a constructed channel that historically has required
continuous maintenance and dredging of the bed elevation to ensure flood protection. The river is
channelized through the project reach and the banks are armored in numerous areas with riprap,
concrete, and/or wood retaining walls. Vegetation along this stretch of the Cedar River is generally
limited to invasive species including Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), reed canarygrass
(Phalaris arundinacea), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius)
in the understory. Several native tree species are also located within the riparian zone including red alder
(A/nus rubra), Pacific willow (Salix lucida ssp. lasiandra), Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis) and black
cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa). The native vegetation communities are dominant
along the right bank of the river within the park.
GeoEngineers (2013) identified and delineated seven wetlands within the project area (Figure 2), which
directly abut the Cedar River. Wetlands A, 8, C, F and Gare located on the east (right) bank of the river,
while Wetlands D and E are located on a gravel bar along the west (left) bank. These wetlands are
characterized as palustrine seasonally flooded wetlands (Cowardin et al., 1979). Wetlands D and E
contain emergent vegetation, Wetlands A and Care scrub/shrub-dominated and Wetlands 8, F and Gare
forested.
For additional details regarding aquatic resource classification, please refer to the wetland and stream
delineation report (GeoEngineers, 2013).
Historic and Current Land Use
The project reach of the Cedar River is artificially constructed. The following channel history is based on
the description presented in the project EIS (USAGE, 1997). The artificial channel was constructed in
1912 by Commercial Waterway District Number 2. Prior to 1912, the Cedar River flowed into the
Black River and then into the Duwamish River and Elliot Bay. The diversion of the Cedar River into
Lake Washington occurred at approximately the same time that the USAGE constructed the
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 9
File No. 0693-073·00
Lake Washington Ship Canal and lowered the Lake Washington surface water elevation by approximately
9 feet. The river currently flows into the extreme southern end of Lake Washington.
The Cedar River channel has been periodically dredged by the Waterway District (until 1956) and
subsequently by the City of Renton (1956, 1976, 1986, and 1998). The river delta in Lake Washington
(immediately north of the North Boeing Bridge) was dredged in 1993. Prior to 1998, maintenance
dredging typically lowered the channel bottom to approximately 10 feet lower than the current condition.
Dredging has not occurred since 1998.
Sediment is readily deposited in the project reach because the gradient is low and water velocities are
reduced in this area due to the backwater effects of Lake Washington. Rates of bedload yield from the
basin, and subsequent deposition in the project reach, can fluctuate greatly in any given year.
Periodic dredging of gravel and sediment has been employed in the past to maintain flow conveyance
through this reach in order to avert flood damages to the regionally significant economic investments in
the vicinity. Gravel and sediment removal was last performed in 1998, and simultaneously levees and
floodwalls were constructed along both the right and left banks of the river to provide 100-year flood
protection to the area.
1998 Flood Control Project Description
The 1998 gravel and sediment removal and structural improvement project, entitled the Lower Cedar
River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project (known as the Lower Cedar 205 Project), was
constructed and funded through an inter-local agreement among the City of Renton, USAGE, King County,
and the Washington State Legislature. The Cedar River Section 205 Flood Control Project is located
along the lower Cedar River from Williams Avenue (River Mile 1.23) to the mouth of the river at
Lake Washington. The project, as described in the Final EIS (June 1997) included dredging of the existing
channel to a depth of approximately 4 feet below the 1995 bed profile; construction of levees and
floodwalls, to provide minimum protection against the 100-year recurrence interval event with at least
90 percent reliability Gust prior to re-dredging); and periodic maintenance dredging (as frequent as every
three years) to maintain the design level of protection. Periodic maintenance dredging by the City is also
a requirement in the USAGE O&M Manual for the project to maintain the flood protection benefits of the
federally constructed project. Maintenance dredging intervals are to be based on regular bed elevation
surveys to determine the amount of aggradation since the previous dredge cycle. Therefore, ongoing
maintenance dredging was included in the EIS and permit application for an indefinite period (preferably
for the project life of 100 years) and was determined to be a requirement for the project reach.
The dredging work was last conducted during the summer of 1998. Immediately after each dredge cycle,
the project reach was designed to provide up to a 200-year recurrence interval flood protection, which
would decline until the channel aggrades to the maximum allowable bed elevation providing 100-year
recurrence interval flood protection with 90 percent reliability. Analysis and permitting conducted for the
1998 dredging work indicated the channel would require periodic maintenance dredging of approximately
170,000 CY every three years to maintain the project objective of providing 100 year flood control in the
City of Renton.
The 1998 dredging work was planned to excavate to a depth of four feet below the 1995 streambed
profile from the North Boeing Bridge upstream to RM 1.0 (Logan Avenue Bridge). The dredge depth was
then to be tapered up to meet the existing gradient upstream at Williams Avenue Bridge. The total
volume of sediment planned to be dredged was estimated to be 158,000 CY (USAGE, 1997).
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 10
File No. 0693-073-00
Dredging was conducted utilizing excavators and dump trucks operating from within the river channel on
temporary construction berms built from dredge materials. Some over-dredging occurred during the
1998 project and therefore additional compensatory mitigation was required and completed in the form
of the Elliot Spawning/Rearing Channel to mitigate for channel adjustment upstream of the project during
the winter following the dredging activities. Dredge materials were disposed of temporarily at an upland
site owned by City of Renton, approximately two miles upstream of the project near the left bank, west of
the Cedar River Trail south of 1-405 (the NARCO site). The dredged materials were sold from the site over
an approximate three-year duration with a small amount of material reused as gravel supplementation
upstream at Landsburg. The USAGE levee and floodwall project was constructed in 1999 upon
completion of the 1998 dredging work.
The City of Renton, as the local project sponsor, was required to sign a Project Cooperation Agreement
(PCA) committing to ongoing maintenance (including maintenance dredging) to ensure long-term flood
protection of the project. Each year, a detailed sediment study of the lower Cedar River is conducted to
ensure that the allowable bed elevation is not reached, and hydraulic modeling is performed to predict
sediment capacity associated with gravel removal maintenance intervals. The 2012 Annual Sediment
Report (Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, 2013) concluded the 25,800 CY of remaining storage below the
allowable bed level will fill in two to three years, assuming an average annual infill rate of 9,700 CY. If the
river experiences another "above average" flood season like 2007 or 2011, it may be effectively full
sooner.
Previous Mitigation
In addition to the maintenance responsibilities, 1998 project permits required extensive mitigation for the
initial construction impacts and impacts associated with the anticipated future maintenance dredging.
Mitigation for the Lower Cedar River Section 205 Project, including the resulting excessive dredging and
recurring maintenance dredging for the life of the project, has included the following (see Figure 1):
• 1998: Groundwater Side Channel (destroyed by Nisqually earthquake in 2001)
• 1999: Maplewood Large Woody Debris Levee Project
• 2000: Elliot Spawning Side Channel (damaged by floods in 2006 & 2009)
• 1999-2000: Lower Cedar River riparian plantings
• 2001 to 2011: Landsburg mitigation (annual gravel supplementation, except 2008)
• 2010: Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel
• 2012: Elliot Spawning Channel flood damage repaired
The mitigation outlined above has included the following elements:
• Spawning Channels: The Corps in coordination with the City has constructed several sockeye salmon
(Oncorhynchus nerka) spawning channels as mitigation for impacts from the 1998 dredging project
and cyclical maintenance dredging, and provided monitoring of fish utilization within the project reach
and the constructed spawning channels. The original Groundwater Side Channel constructed in
1998 at Ron Regis Park was supplemented with the Elliot Spawning Channel in 2000 to mitigate for
the one-time loss of redds resulting from the unanticipated channel adjustment upstream of the
project possibly exacerbated by the excessive dredging that occurred during project implementation
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2D14 Page 11
File No. 0693-073-00
in 1998. The Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit from the Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) included a provision requiring 10 years of performance monitoring and maintenance
for the Elliot spawning channel. When the Groundwater Side Channel was destroyed in 2001, the
Elliot Spawning Channel had been constructed and was providing mitigation necessary for the
channel adjustment and excessive dredging. The Elliot Spawning Channel fulfilled its necessary
mitigation needs for channel adjustment in the second year following construction and continued to
provide other project mitigation in the absence of the Groundwater Channel as required by the 1997
project EIS, until the Royal Hills channel was constructed in 2010. The Elliot Spawning Channel has
been damaged by floods and natural channel migration that has reduced flows and caused
deposition of fine sediments reducing the porosity of the porous levee resulting in decreased flows
into the channel. The channel was reconstructed in 2012, but has been subject to additional
sedimentation due to insufficient flow problems caused by changes in Cedar River location that
provides flow to the Elliot Channel.
• Large Woody Debris: Large woody debris (LWD) and bioengineered revetment placement along an
existing revetment at the Maplewood Golf Course.
• Riparian Plantings: Riparian plantings, including vegetation monitoring, at the following locations:
• Right bank from South Boeing Bridge to mouth (approximately 4,850 LF).
• Left bank from Logan Ave to small aircraft hangars (approximately 3,800 LF).
• Gravel Supplementation: Stockpiling dredged gravel for future use and placement of up to 1,000 CY
of gravel per year for 10 to 15 years upstream at the Landsburg site as a salmon spawning habitat
enhancement measure.
Mitigation monitoring of the actions has occurred over a 15-year period since the 1998 dredging event.
Monitoring conducted annually during this period includes: documenting sockeye spawning in both the
lower river (the area affected by dredging) and the two spawning channels constructed as mitigation for
project effects. Monitoring activities conducted for shorter durations during the 15-year period includes;
documenting salmon fry outmigration (Elliot Channel); documenting salmon utilization of bank revetment
habitat enhancement at the Maplewood Golf Course; vegetation monitoring for riparian plantings; and
documenting salmon utilization of the gravel enhancement area (Landsburg).
In 2012, the USAGE removed riparian vegetation from the left bank where it threatened the integrity of
the flood wall between Logan Avenue North and South Boeing Bridge (USAGE, 2012). Vegetation that
was removed included 220 trees as well as all shrub vegetation within 15 feet of the I-wall. Most of this
vegetation was installed at the site as part of the left bank mitigation plantings outlined above and/or had
colonized the site naturally, much of the shrub layer consisted of Himalayan blackberry
(Rubus armeniacus), an invasive species. Mitigation for removal of vegetation by the USAGE was
accomplished by planting willow (Sa/ix spp.) stakes in a nearby area on the opposite bank, as well as
planting trees in offsite upstream locations along the banks of the Cedar River and Elliot Spawning
Channel (USAGE, 2012).
The USAGE in coordination with the City is currently developing a levee vegetation variance for the project
right bank levee. The vegetation variance would include the removal of additional trees from the right
bank levee area, within the City Park, where they conflict with current USAGE levee vegetation standards.
Conceptual mitigation proposed by the Corps includes replacement tree plantings in areas where they will
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 12
file No. 0693-073-00
not conflict with vegetation management standards. Vegetation plantings that are part of the mitigation
plan proposed in this document to offset the dredging project have been coordinated with the mitigation
plantings proposed by the USACE to ensure these mitigation actions are complementary. At the time of
preparation of this mitigation plan, neither the permitting, removal of trees, nor the proposed mitigation,
has been completed by the USACE.
The left bank is generally dominated by invasive species throughout the project reach. Vegetation
plantings on the right bank have been generally more successful; however, invasive species have
colonized much of the understory somewhat compromising riparian function and mitigation planting
success.
Monitoring of sockeye spawning conducted by Integrated Aquatics, Golder Associates, and Jones &
Stokes since the previous dredge has demonstrated that utilization of the main channel (including
upstream at Landsburg) and constructed spawning channels has resulted in a net increase in number of
salmon redds and consequent fry production relative to pre-dredge conditions. The main channel and
constructed side channels continue to provide salmon spawning habitat.
Existing Functions
River processes have been historically altered as a result of the initial channel construction in the early
1900s, historic dredging, levee construction, bank armoring and other structures. The lower segment of
the Cedar River is a constructed channel that has been actively maintained for the last century as a flood
control facility to reduce the effects of flooding on adjacent properties including the Renton Municipal
Airport, The Boeing Company 737 production facilities, and a public park. Historically, the Cedar River
flowed into the Black River and drained into Elliot Bay by way of the Duwamish River. The current channel
was originally constructed in 1912 and was periodically dredged to approximately 10 feet below the
current channel grade until the 1980s. The City ceased periodic dredging of the channel in the 1980s
because of difficulties obtaining permits due to new environmental regulations, channel access and cost
issues (USACE, 1997). The channel remained un-dredged from the early 1980s until 1998.
The channel is generally trapezoidal and linear without meanders and the bank of the river is defined by
levees, flood walls, and riprap. There are wooden bulkhead structures along much of the shoreline, as
well as bank armoring consisting of riprap and gabion baskets. The project reach includes flood control
levees and I-walls on either side of the river, a total of four bridges over the river, and an adjacent public
trail. A portion of the public trail is located immediately adjacent to the river with concrete and gabion
baskets defining the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The downstream two bridges (North and South
Boeing Bridges) connect the Boeing facilities with the airport and are not accessible to the public.
The upstream two bridges are public street bridges for Logan Avenue North and Williams Avenue North.
Numerous stormwater outfalls discharge from both sides into the river at or near the shoreline.
The river is utilized by a number of fish species including salmon, and a wide variety of birds and other
wildlife. The lower river is the primary spawning area for longfin smelt in the Lake Washington system
(USACE, 1997). Extensive park facilities, including a paved pedestrian pathway, are present on the right
bank within the project reach, as well as on the left bank between the Logan Avenue North and Williams
Avenue North bridges. These facilities provide opportunity for nature enjoyment by the general public.
There is also a boat launch within the project reach, for use by non-motorized watercraft only, and fishing
is a popular activity.

Vegetation below the OHWM is generally limited to riverine wetland areas that have formed since the
previous dredge at the channel margins, which are dominated by reed canarygrass (Pha/aris
arundinacea) with some yellowflag iris (iris pseudacorus) (GeoEngineers, 2013). Riparian vegetation
present on the streambanks includes Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), Himalayan blackberry,
Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius), tansy (Senecio jacobaea), butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii), field
bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis), English ivy (Hedera helix), native willows, bigleaf maple
(Acer macrophyllum), red alder (A/nus rubra), and horsetails (Equisetum arvense). Much of the riparian
buffer on the right bank is affected by park landscaping including mowed grasses and maintained native
shrubs including Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), Oregon grape
(Mahonia aquifolium), Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus) and other species. The river within the
project reach has levees or floodwalls on both sides. Banks have been armored with a flood wall, wooden
bulkheads, riprap, and/or gabion baskets. Much of the armoring is currently failing. The streambed
within the project reach generally consists of gravel and sand with some cobbles.
Several riverine wetlands (vegetated sand and gravel bars) that have formed since the last dredge have
been identified in shallow areas below the OHWM of the Cedar River within the project reach
(GeoEngineers, 2013). One additional depressional wetland has been identified within the floodplain, but
above the OHWM.
The Cedar River is listed on the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) 303(d) list as Category 5 for
temperature, bacteria and dissolved oxygen within the project reach. Category 5 ratings indicate the
waterbody exceeds pollution standards and is considered impaired. It is listed as Category 2 for pH,
indicating the river is a Water of Concern for this parameter (Ecology, 2013).
MITIGATION GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of the mitigation plan is to provide adequate mitigation to compensate for the cumulative effects
of the project. This may require supplementing mitigation actions previously implemented for the project.
To achieve this goal, the following objectives were developed:
• Accurately characterize impacts of the proposed project based on monitoring data and observations
gathered since the previous dredge, as well as current hydrologic and sediment transport modeling
results.
• Describe impacts of the current proposal in the context of impacts previously anticipated and
mitigated for during the original EIS process.
• Evaluate effectiveness of the previous mitigation and identify appropriate additional mitigation to
compensate for unanticipated impacts and/or impacts demonstrated through monitoring to not have
been fully mitigated through previous actions.
• Propose limited additional mitigation, if necessary, to achieve the above objective and is feasible
with in the scope of the proposed work.
The following section provides a detailed breakdown of impacts that are anticipated to result from the
current proposal.

Impact Site
This section identifies the impacts to habitat functions that will result from the project. Potential impacts
that will be avoided or eliminated through minimization measures are not included here, but are
discussed in the Mitigation Sequencing section of this report.
Impact Site Functions
This section describes the impacts anticipated to result from the project and includes a brief explanation
of the ecological effects that may result and may be subject to mitigation requirements.
The following types of impacts are anticipated to result from the project:
• Riparian Vegetation Removal. Some riparian vegetation will be removed during construction in
association with equipment access locations during dredging and new, maintenance and repair of
existing bank stabilization work. Removal of riparian vegetation can have ecological effects on fish
habitat including a reduction in cover, Joss of allochthonous organic inputs, and alteration of bank
processes.
• Bank Armoring. Banks within the project reach have been armored with timber bulkheads, rock
revetments, concrete slabs, and gabions. Much of the existing bank armoring is failing and the
project design team identified those areas critical to stability of the flood control project and other
critical infrastructure within the project limits. To address areas where bank protection is failing or
never installed and is now needed, the project proposes repair, maintenance and some limited new
bank protection. Bank protection will require placement and/or replacement of rock above and
below the OHWM, which has the potential to reduce habitat quality and favor predatory fish species.
• Channel Adjustment. The project is anticipated to result in channel adjustment ("headcutting") due
to the change in bed profile (lowering) in the first year resulting from the maintenance dredging.
Channel adjustment has the potential to damage spawning salmon redds constructed in the Cedar
River channel area immediately upstream of the project.
• Altered Flow Characteristics. Alterations to water depths and/or flow velocity have the potential to
preclude spawning in the affected reach and result in habitat conditions favoring predatory fish
species.
• Wetland Impacts. Dredging will result in removal of some existing wetland habitat below OHWM
where two vegetated areas occur on a gravel bar near South Boeing Bridge.
Details regarding the ecological effects of each impact are provided in the sections that follow.
These impacts/effects are quantified where feasible.
Riparian Vegetation Removal
Removal of riparian vegetation may be required at equipment access points and where bank stabilization
work is proposed. A general vegetation inventory was completed during the data collection phase of
project design (see Figure 2). Most of the vegetation along the left bank is invasive, consisting of
Himalayan blackberry, Scotch broom, Japanese knotweed and reed canarygrass. There is a larger
component of native vegetation present on the right bank, including willow and alder trees and native
shrub plantings. However, many areas on the right bank also contain an understory of invasive
vegetation, primarily reed canarygrass and Japanese knotweed, with some Himalayan blackberry.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 15
File No. 0693-073-00
With the exception of a short stretch of new bank stabilization proposed adjacent to the right bank I-wall,
most equipment access and bank work will be on the left bank where riparian vegetation is dominated by
invasive species and vegetation on the right bank will be mostly unaffected. Although much of the right
bank is characterized by a thin band of native vegetation, the vegetation adjacent to the proposed right
bank stabilization work is also dominated by invasive species, particularly Japanese knotweed.
Equipment access is proposed at sixteen locations along the left bank and four locations along the right
bank (see Figure 3). In general, more access points are needed in locations that will be dredged using
the temporary berm method than in those areas dredged using the floating clamshell method.
Equipment access points will result in removal of approximately 55,730 square feet (SF) of primarily
invasive riparian vegetation in total.
Bank stabilization activities (including proposed new, repair and maintenance work) will result in the
removal of approximately 9,224 SF of additional vegetation along the left bank and 2,560 SF along the
right bank. Vegetation will be removed immediately above and below the OHWM throughout these areas
in order to stabilize the bank. Existing vegetation is predominantly invasive, with the exception of a few
alder trees below OHWM on the left bank downstream of Logan Avenue, few scattered alder and willows
downstream of South Boeing Bridge on the left bank, and few shrubs that persist within the matrix of
Japanese knotweed at the location of the proposed new right bank stabilization.
Bank Armoring
Nearly the entire left bank has been previously armored and approximately 50 percent of the right bank
contains armoring (see Figure 3). The project design team conducted an assessment of the condition of
the banks throughout the project reach to identify those areas needing maintenance, repair or new bank
stabilization that is critical for the protection of existing flood control project infrastructure. For the
purposes of this assessment, the following terms were defined: "maintenance" is needed in those areas
with existing bank armoring (generally riprap) suitable for the protection of the infrastructure that had
minor deterioration over time since it was installed; "repair" is needed in those areas with existing bank
armoring that is sub-par and not suitable for protection of infrastructure, which would be removed and
replaced; and "new" bank stabilization is needed in those areas where bank armoring had not been
previously installed to our knowledge. The results of this assessment identified approximately 2,510 LF
of existing rock bank protection, of which approximately 10 percent (250 LF) was identified to require
maintenance, approximately 1,275 LF of existing protection needing repair (removal and replacement),
and approximately 184 LF of new protection.
Existing and proposed bank armoring reduces habitat value for native fish species because it reduces
overhanging vegetation and creates a hard surface that eliminates natural bank heterogeneity that can
result in scour and other process that contribute to habitat complexity. Bank protection elements may
also contribute to a predator advantage due to void spaces in riprap where predatory fish species
(for example, sculpins) may hide and ambush prey (for example, juvenile salmonids) as they swim by.
Because most of the bank protection work proposed for the project is maintenance or repair of existing
revetments, impacts of the proposed project associated with bank armoring are generally limited to new
protection on the right bank in the amount of 184 LF.

Channel Adjustment
Channel adjustment following implementation of the proposed dredge cut has the potential to destroy
salmon redds constructed in the river bed between the time of the dredging and the onset of high
seasonal flows the following winter. Channel adjustment was observed in the first winter following the
1998 dredge which was assumed to be the result of overdredging by the USACE. Channel adjustment
manifested as the river bed headcut upstream from Williams Avenue to 1-405 during the late fall and
winter of 1998 -1999. The 1998 dredge cut design anticipated and addressed channel adjustment by
proposing grade control weirs in the transition reach, which was intended to arrest channel adjustment,
and by constructing a gently sloping transition. However, although the 1998 design was approved,
construction did not include installation of the weirs for unknown reasons. Compounding this, the
overdredging by the USACE resulted in a steeper transition reach than what had been designed and
approved, likely increasing the magnitude (depth) and extent of the channel adjustment.
A gradually sloped (0.63 percent) transition reach is proposed as part of the project design to reduce the
magnitude (depth) and extent of this effect. The sloped transition reach design for the proposed
maintenance dredge is the same as was designed for the 1998 dredge. Three alternative designs within
the transition reach were evaluated: Alternative 1 did not include grade control features within the
transition reach in favor of allowing natural channel adjustment; Alternative 2A included installation of a
constructed riffle by augmenting the channel bed with cobble and small boulders; Alternative 2B included
installation of buried weirs. Alternatives 2A and 2B were both intended to reduce the magnitude (depth)
and extent of channel adjustment at increased cost. Both alternatives introduce increased risk and the
displacement of prime sockeye spawning habitat with constructed elements. Hydraulic and bed evolution
models were developed to evaluate the impact of channel adjustment under each alternative.
After pre-consultation between stakeholders, including the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, WDFW, USACE,
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), design consulting team, and City of Renton, Alternative 1
(natural channel adjustment) was selected as the preferred alternative, due to the lower risk of failure
and potential ecological impacts (lost spawning habitat, potential fish passage barrier development and
future maintenance needs) that would be associated with failure of the other alternatives. The natural
channel adjustment alternative will result in an overall reduction in long-term impacts to spawning habitat
(both the constructed riffle and buried weir options would result in long-term displacement of spawning
habitat) in spite of the unrestrained channel adjustment anticipated to occur without grade control.
Based on the model results, natural channel adjustment is anticipated to occur within the transition
reach and extend upstream approximately 2,300 feet, as far as the Houser Way bridge (the "adjustment
reach"). Based on model results, the "pivot point" between upstream degradation and downstream
aggradation occurs within the transition reach at approximate STA 60+00 (Northwest Hydraulic
Consultants, 2014). Degradation averaging up to approximately 1 to 2 feet deep is anticipated within the
adjustment reach, and aggradation averaging up to approximately 1 to 2 feet may extend approximately
2,300 feet downstream, within the dredge reach. Channel adjustment upstream is anticipated to be
limited to the first year following the dredge (short-term temporary effect), as documented through
channel monitoring following the 1998 dredge.
The table below outlines the estimated future one-time loss of redds and salmon fry production as a
result of channel adjustment, based on historical redd count data. This impact is limited to the first
spawning season following the dredge; once the initial channel adjustment occurs, which is anticipated to
initiate during the first seasonal high flows and may continue into winter or spring following the dredge
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 17

depending on hydrological conditions. The channel adjustment is anticipated to occur during average
seasonal high flows (less than 1.01-year recurrence interval; Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, 2014)
based on sediment transport modeling, so there are no ongoing impacts to salmon redds anticipated over
the long-term.

egg-to-fry survival factor within the project reach {based on 1991-2012 data provided by WDFW/MIT).
3. Logan to Williams Ave. is within the project footprint and is identified as the utransition reach~ in which the 4-foot dredge will taper
to meet the existing upstream bed elevation, and represents one of the reaches for which annual monitoring has been conducted by
the City's consultant. The transition reach is included in this summary because the ~pivot point" between bed degradation and
aggradation will occur within it at approximate STA 60+00, and it is conservatively estimated that redds throughout the reach may be
affected by channel adjustment.
4. Williams Ave. to Houser Way/1-405 is upstream of the project footprint and is identified as the ~channel adjustment reach" that
may be subject to bed degradation in the first year following dredging. Model results suggest that channel adjustment will extend up
to Houser Way, which is very close to 1-405. Redd counts were conducted for the reach extending up to 1-405.
Estimated 2012 fry production data forms the basis we propose for estimating the anticipated single-year
impact to sockeye salmon redds that will result from channel adjustment following the proposed
maintenance dredge. Fry production was estimated from observed redd counts conducted by a
monitoring biologist and using Cedar River mainstem production averaged from data provided by
WDFW/MIT (1991-2012). Using the 2012 data provides a reasonably conservative estimate for the
following reasons: (1) loss of redds (and fry production) is not anticipated to be total throughout these
reaches; (2) 2012 is recent data that is relatively representative of current baseline conditions
(2013 redd counts were lower); (3) 2012 was an "average" or "typical" year with regard to run size and
environmental conditions; (4) 2012 redd counts were slightly higher than the long-term average since
data collection began, and were higher than the most recent 2013 data.
Altered Flow Characteristics
Altered flow characteristics, including increased water depth and reduced flow velocity, could affect
native species by favoring predatory fish species and reducing available spawning habitat.
Current hydraulic modeling data suggests that, during typical flow conditions, flow characteristics are
likely to be affected (relative to current conditions) in the reach below South Boeing Bridge as a result of
the lowered bed profile and a consequent increase in the distance up-river from the mouth that a lake
backwater effect extends. This analysis generally confirms what was anticipated to result from the 4-foot
dredge identified in the original planning of the project. During construction in 1998, the river was
dredged deeper than planned, which resulted in a significant increase in the resulting Jake effect.
The current project will include multiple safeguards including utilizing modern survey technologies to
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 18
FUe No. 0693·073·00
prevent over-dredging; therefore, the extent of alteration of flow characteristics will be less than what
occurred in 1998.
PREDATION
Native fish predators, including prickly sculpin (Cotus asper) and torrent sculpin (C. rotheus), as well as
non-native predators, such as largemouth and smallmouth bass, are present in Lake Washington and are
favored in environments characterized by lacustrine rather than riverine conditions. Increased depth and
reduced flow velocity in the reach below South Boeing Bridge may result in an increase in habitat
favorable to these predatory fish, possibly resulting in increased mortality of juvenile salmonids as a
result of predation. The portion of the channel that is anticipated to become more favorable to predatory
fish varies seasonally and annually depending on water levels in both the Cedar River and
Lake Washington. The current up-river extent of lacustrine conditions ranges seasonally depending on
river flow and lake levels. Maximums of up-river extent are typically observed during the spring
outmigration period (March to May) when river flow is declining and lake level rising, and the late summer
period (September) when river flows are at a minimum. Under current conditions, computed maximums
of up-river lacustran extent ranges from STA 10+00 to 25+00, with an average of approximately 17+50.
Computed maximums of up-river lacustrine extent, under proposed dredge conditions, will range from
STA 25+00 to 43+00, with an average of approximately 34+00, which is downstream of South Boeing
Bridge. Therefore, the total amount of existing riverine habitat that may become more favorable to
predatory fish, during maximum (extreme) spring and late summer periods, ranges from 1,500 to
1,800 LF, with an average of approximately 1,650 LF. The 1998 mitigation plan anticipated an increase
by 2,300 LF. The current estimate, which is less than the 1998 estimate, is based on a comprehensive
hydraulic model. The model incorporates recent detailed channel monitoring data since the previous
dredge, the pool elevation of Lake Washington, river hydrology data over the past 27 years, existing
bathymetry and river bed profile data, and comparison between the existing condition and proposed
dredge prism.
SPAWNING HABITAT
Based on spawning data collected since the 1998 dredge, the reach below South Boeing Bridge
(STA 39+00) currently supports limited spawning, which is concentrated along the margins of the channel
upstream of STA 25+00. The dredge prism is centered on the channel; therefore, effects of the dredge
on existing spawning habitat near the channel margin in this reach will be limited. Historical redd count
data from 1994 to 2013 indicate this reach produced an average of 63 redds per year (see Appendix C,
Table C-1). Omitting the 10 spawning seasons immediately following the 1998 dredge (1998-2007),
which WDFW asserts is characterized by lower spawning as a result of dredge effects, raises the average
to 95 redds per year. In contrast, the 10 years immediately following dredging (1998-2007) were
characterized by an average of 30 redds per year. The difference between these two averages represents
an estimated annual loss of redds in this reach resulting from the dredge, which is estimated to be 65
redds. Based on this estimate, an estimated 36,713 fry were lost annually in this reach due to long-term
effects of dredging (assuming 3.444 eggs per redd [based on Cedar River sockeye broodstock data
provided by WDFW; see also Integrated Aquatics, 2013; Foerster, 1968; Hamalainen, 1978; and
Narita, 1978] and an average 16.4 percent egg-to-fry survival factor [average based on 1991-2012 data
provided by WDFW/MIT]), which is the basis we will use for estimating the annual effects of dredging for
this impact.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2D14 Page 19
File No. 0693-073-00
The project is not anticipated to affect availability of spawnable habitat in the reaches between
South Boeing Bridge and Logan Avenue, and between Logan and Williams Avenues, as a result of altered
flow characteristics (however, see Channel Adjustment section below).
Wetland Impacts
A total of seven wetlands have been identified within the project area, of which all but one are located
within the channel below the OHWM. Wetlands below OHWM may be affected by the dredge where
dredging and associated activities result in removal of aquatic vegetation and soil/substrate.
Vegetated gravel bars and channel fringe areas currently provide limited wetland functions. Permanent
wetland impacts are proposed to be mitigated through allocation of bank credits, as discussed in this
document and Appendix D (Bank Use Plan).
Impacts to wetlands that are anticipated to result from the proposed dredge are limited to two small
vegetated gravel bars (Wetlands D and E; Category 4) within the channel, near the left bank, just
upstream of South Boeing Bridge, for a total impact of 2,710 SF, which equals 0.062 acres. All other
wetlands, including channel fringe wetlands along the right bank and one depression al floodplain wetland
above OHWM, will be avoided. Vegetated gravel bars have sparse opportunistic vegetation that becomes
established seasonally as sediments are naturally redistributed and are transient in nature, limiting their
ability to provide water quality and hydrologic functions. The most significant function they may provide is
as aquatic habitat features attractive to ducks, other waterfowl, invertebrates and salmonids.
Although these features are transient, develop seasonally on new river sediment deposits, and vary in
spatial location and extent through time as a function of geomorphic processes, they technically are
considered wetland features based on presence of hydrophytic vegetation, appropriate hydrology, and
soil characteristics that are considered problematic according to the most recent wetland delineation
guidance from the USAGE (2010b).

Mitigation
The same impacts from maintenance dredging were anticipated within the 1998 EIS prepared by the
USAGE and previously mitigated for with a basis of maintenance dredging occurring on a 3-year
recurrence frequency. The actual frequency has exceeded 16 years, indicative that the previous
mitigation implemented was in excess of the impacts identified.
The project will be required to comply with city, county, state and federal land use and environmental
requirements, as applicable. The project will require at a minimum shoreline and wetland approvals from
the City of Renton, an HPA permit from WDFW, SEPA and/or NEPA compliance, a Section 401 water
quality permit from Ecology, a Section 404 permit from the USAGE for dredging, and Endangered Species
Act consultation from NMFS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Other environmental
reviews, permits and/or approvals may also be required. Each of the local, state and federal agencies
issuing permits/approvals, as well as other stakeholders including but not limited to the public, have the
opportunity to request mitigation as conditions of permit approvals and/or as part of the public comment
period during environmental reviews. This plan has been developed to satisfy all local, state and federal
requirements for mitigation related to project impacts.
The project team consulted with the MIT, WDFW, WDOE and USAGE during development of the mitigation
concepts presented below. Responses to formal comments provided by the MIT, WDFW and WDOE are
included in Appendix E. Mitigation has been designed to offset unavoidable impacts caused by the
proposed project. Proposed mitigation will include the following items:
• Native Vegetation Plantings (Onsite). Native vegetation will be installed in riparian and channel
fringe habitats where feasible based upon hydraulic conditions and within guidelines for vegetation
along levees and floodwalls set by USAGE. Native vegetation will be installed in the following
locations: all temporarily impacted riparian areas; along the left bank above Ordinary High Water
Mark (OHWM) in areas outside the VFZ; along vegetated benches along the left bank below OHWM;
and in selected locations along the right bank that have been identified to benefit from additional
plantings.
• Fllllng Vold Space In Rlprap (Onslte). Interstitial spaces in all bank stabilization work areas
proposed as part of the project (new, repair and maintenance) will be filled with native dredge
material to reduce voids that may harbor predatory fish species and to provide suitable substrate for
riparian plantings where appropriate.
• Lower Reach Gabion Removal (Onsite). Gabion bank protection currently exists along the right bank
within Reach 1 (downstream of South Boeing Bridge). Removal of the gabions and replacement with
bioengineered bank stabilization measures (composed of a rock toe, geogrid reinforced soil lifts and
plantings), is proposed to improve nearshore habitat conditions and restore bank stabilization
function. The proposed improvement work is located near channel STA 22+25 and is 100 lineal feet
long.
• Spawning Channel Maintenance and Monitoring (Offsite).
• The City will continue to maintain the existing Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel at
approximately River Mile 3.5, as required by the original project 1997 EIS mitigation plan for the
initial and future maintenance dredging. This will promote ongoing functional value and continue
to compensate for impacts to spawning from the proposed maintenance project and future
maintenance projects.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page22
File No. 0693-073-00
• The City also intends to conduct maintenance of the Elliot Spawning Channel at approximately
River Mile 4.7 to promote continued use by salmon for spawning as well as off-channel spawning
and rearing habitat to mitigate for measured channel adjustment impacts. Continued
maintenance and operation beyond that point is voluntary and will continue unless ongoing
excessive maintenance is required, it is frequently damaged, or significantly damaged in the
future by floods resulting in a major or on-going need to repair or restore the channel.
Specific maintenance actions that have been discussed with WDFW and the MIT are included in
the proposed project action, as described more fully in the Mitigation Work Plan section of this
document.
• Lighting Impacts Reduction (Onslte & Offsite). The City will conduct an inventory of existing
City-owned lights within the project area along the Cedar River including a 200 foot buffer on each
side up to RM 2.1 upstream of 1-405. The inventory will provide data that can be used to develop the
basis for a lighting study. The lighting study will identify City-owned lights that can be modified
(direction, bulb type, shielding, removal, etc.) to reduce negative lighting impacts on the Cedar River
habitat without compromising public safety. Study recommendations will be prioritized and
implemented to the greatest extent feasible.
• Scour Monitoring Study. A scour monitoring study utilizing scour chains with accelerometers is
currently being implemented with the following goals: (1) to evaluate bed material disturbance depths
prior to the 2015 dredging, thus defining baseline sediment transport conditions, and (2) to monitor
the magnitude, extent, and rates of bed adjustment over the two spawning/high flow seasons
following the 2015 dredging. The City has completed the permitting and contracting and the scour
chains have been installed within the project reach for the 2014-2015 spawning and winter season.
• Wetland Mitigation Bank Credits (Offsite). The City plans to mitigate wetland impacts through use
of mitigation bank credits at the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank.
The Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank instrument was approved in
August 2006. The site was constructed in 2007-2008 and allows an alternative to on-site mitigation

Net Functional Effect
The Elliot Channel by itself would replace lost
redds in approximately four years after dredging.
When increased survival of fry in spawning side
channels is accounted for (37.2% versus 16.4%),
the impact is fully mitigated in less than two years.
Adding to this the excess fry production from the
Royal Hills Spawning Channel, mitigation is fully
achieved in just over one year of production.
Therefore, all losses are anticipated to be fully
mitigated before the next subsequent dredge
cycle, and one-time maintenance of the Elliot
Channel per dredge cycle should be sufficient to
mitigate channel adjustment impacts. The scour
monitoring study will assist in documenting actual
impacts of the channel adjustment and will help
evaluate adequacy of mitigation implemented in
regard to actual project impacts.

Net Functlonal Effect
The spawning channel provides rearing and refugia
habitat in excess of the amount affected by
predation. Studies have demonstrated this habitat
results in higher fry survival than occurs in the
mainstem and is utilized by a variety of salmonid
species. The Royal Hills Replacement Spawning
Channel will be maintained for this purpose,
contributing 924 LF of high-quality rearing and
refugia habitat. 1,625 LF of void spaces along
existing shoreline protection will be filled or
removed to minimize predator habitat within and
upstream of the new 1,650 LF of lake effect area.
Additionally, the lighting effects study will be
conducted throughout the entire project reach, and
extend further upstream to RM 2.1 above 1-405, to
identify lights that can be shielded or removed,
which will identify opportunities to further reduce
predation on salmon fry.
1 · Existing riparian vegetation to be removed primarily consists of invasive species (see Riparian Vegetation Removal section for additional details)
2 -Sixty-five redds is the estimated annual loss of redds for this reach based on the difference between historical redd counts omitting the first ten years post-dredging (1998-2007), and
the redd counts observed during the first ten years post-dredging, based on the assumption that spawning numbers were suppressed during those ten years as a result of dredge effects
(Appendix C, Table C-1). Fry production assumes 3,444 eggs per redd [Integrated Aquatics, 2013] and an average 16.4% survival factor from egg to fry within the project reach
(WDFW/MIT data).
3 Estimate is based on average redd count for the Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel that was collected by the City's consultant (Appendix C, Table C-2), and assumes 3,444 eggs
per redd and 37 .2% egg-to-fry survival in the mitigation spawning channels (Integrated Aquatics, 2013). The Channel has outperformed this average over the past two years.
4 · Estimate is based on 2012 data (Appendix C, Table C-1), which was a typical run-size year, and assumes 3,444 eggs per redd [Integrated Aquatics, 2013] and an average 16.4% survival
factor from egg to fry within the project reach {WDFW/MIT data). Other species do not typically use this reach for spawning and are assumed to be functionally absent from the affected
reach.
5 · Estimate is based on average redd count for the Elliot Channel collected by the City's consultant from 2000-2013 (Appendix C, Table C-2), and assumes 3,444 eggs per redd and
37.2% egg-to-fry survival in the mitigation spawning channels (Integrated Aquatics, 2013). Egg-to-fry survival is based on fry outmigration monitoring conducted during the spring over
several years, which was compared to redd counts each year.

Mitigation Strategy
Standard mitigation ratios have been established by state and federal agencies for project impacts to
wetlands, making in-kind compensatory mitigation relatively straightforward. However, the same is not
true for impacts to aquatic resources, riparian zones or terrestrial habitat types. In these cases, in-kind
mitigation is not typically proposed and each mitigation plan must provide supporting rationale for the
amount and type of mitigation proposed.
The proposed project will result in impacts to wetlands, aquatic habitat, and riparian areas.
Quantifying some of the impacts that may result presents challenges due to the uniqueness of this
project, the complex history of the river channel both prior to and since the 205 project was implemented,
the cyclical nature of dredging at this location, and the existing baseline condition which has been
significantly altered.
A project-specific mitigation strategy to address these challenges has been developed. The foundation of
the strategy is to rely on: the impacts and mitigation established as part of the original 205 project
implementation; extensive monitoring data collected before and since the 1998 dredge; and to
incorporate mitigation sequencing into the proposed action. Mitigation sequencing, as described more
fully in the next section, is intended to reduce the ecological impacts of the proposed action to the extent
feasible and to result in a lower overall impact level than what occurred during the 1998 dredging.
The proposed mitigation strategy builds upon this foundation as follows: first, identify anticipated project
impacts in light of the current baseline and project history; then, assess the ecological effects of these
impacts and quantify them to the extent feasible; finally, propose new mitigation with the purpose of
addressing specific ecological effects of the project. It is not the intent to propose new mitigation for past
actions, nor for those ecological impacts that are beyond the scope of the current project.
Mitigation Sequencing
The project is required to consider and document mitigation sequencing in order to satisfy regulatory
requirements for reduction of impacts to natural resources. Mitigation sequencing includes avoidance of
impacts as the first option, minimization of impacts that cannot be avoided, and compensation for those
impacts that remain. The first two elements of mitigation sequencing, avoidance and minimization, are
addressed in the design of the dredge project, as outlined below. The third element, compensation, is
described in the Mitigation Work Plan section of this document.
In general, mitigation sequencing has already occurred within the project reach. The same impacts from
maintenance dredging were anticipated within the 1998 EIS prepared by the USAGE and previously
mitigated for with a basis of maintenance dredging occurring on a 3-year recurrence frequency.
The actual frequency has exceeded 16 years resulting in the avoidance and minimization of the project
impacts previously identified related to the cyclical future maintenance dredging.
AVOIDANCE
• Wetlands. The dredge prism has been designed to avoid impacts to most wetland areas identified in
the project area. Most of the wetlands are along the fringes of the river, so variations in the width of
the dredge prism allow the project to avoid these wetland areas. The unavoidable wetland impacts
are related to wetlands associated with gravel bars that extend into the center of the channel and
have developed subsequent to the 1998 dredging.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 27
Frie No. 0693-073-00
• Native Riparian Vegetation. No new equipment access points are proposed on the right bank, where
established native vegetation is present. Equipment will access the river from the left bank, where
invasive vegetation is dominant, or from existing access points on the right bank that do not require
substantial vegetation removal. Bank protection work will be completed without removing mature
native trees, to the greatest extent feasible.
• Bank Conditions. Maintenance and repair of bank stabilization will occur within the existing footprint
of the 1998 dredging project and will not increase impacts to aquatic habitat relative to baseline
(existing) conditions. No new steel wire gabion structures are proposed for bank stabilization.
MINIMIZATION
• Riparian Vegetation Removal. Impacts associated with equipment access points and proposed
bank work that requires removal of vegetation has been minimized to the greatest extent feasible.
In general, vegetation that will be affected is invasive rather than native. This has included reduction
of the work areas for both the proposed new bank stabilization and the proposed gabion removal
area, both on the right bank, which have resulted in elimination of mature tree removals/impacts in
these areas. Vegetation removal that cannot be avoided will be minimized by re-planting affected
areas with native vegetative to the extent allowed by the USAGE ETL 1110-2-571 vegetation
management standards, as well as FAA regulations for airport operations.
• Spawning Habitat. The project has been designed to minimize impacts to spawning areas to the
maximum extent practical within constraints of project objectives. The dredge prism has been
designed to result in similar flow depth and velocity characteristics as the existing pre-project
condition in dense spawning areas, including the sub-reaches between Williams and Logan Avenue
bridges and between Logan Avenue and South Boeing bridges. The only sub-reach that is anticipated
to be affected by alteration of flow depth and velocity is downstream of the South Boeing Bridge,
which will have increased depth and reduced velocity due to backwater from Lake Washington.
However, spawning in this reach occurs sporadically and in much lower densities than the other two
reaches further upstream, and is generally limited to the channel margins. The dredge prism avoids
the channel margins and it is anticipated that some limited spawning may continue to occur in the
lower reach and should increase with time following the dredge as the stream bed aggrades.
• Channel Adjustment. Transition slope augmentation (roughened channeljgrade control) was
considered with the goal of improving channel stability and minimizing impacts to redds during the
first year after construction as a result of channel adjustment. However, it was decided that the risk
associated with this concept outweighed the potential benefits. Allowing the channel to adjust
naturally without grade control in the transition slope has been identified by the design team and
regulatory agencies as the preferred option to minimize adverse impacts to in-stream habitat.
The impacts of channel adjustment will be reduced by designing a gradual transition slope at the
upstream limit of dredging, and utilizing the latest construction technology to ensure that excessive
dredging does not occur to minimize the magnitude (depth) and extent of channel adjustment.
• Predator Habitat. The effects of bank improvements on predator habitat will be minimized by infilling
void spaces in riprap with dredged material to reduce ambush predator habitat.
• Bank Conditions. The effects of bank improvements on fish habitat conditions will be minimized by
using soft bank treatments and planting native vegetation where allowed by USAGE standards and
FAA guidelines.

City of Renton Bank Stabilization Requirements
In addition to the mitigation sequencing identified above, bank protection that will be installed as part of
this project has been proposed in accordance with the following City of Renton sequencing requirements,
as codified in RMC 4-3-090(F):
• No action (allow the shoreline to retreat naturally), increase building setbacks, and relocate
structures.
• Flexible defense works constructed of natural materials including measures such as soft shore
protection, bioengineering, including beach nourishment, protective berms, or vegetative
stabilization.
• Flexible defense works, as described above, with rigid works, as described below, constructed as a
protective measure at the buffer line.
• A combination of rigid works, as described below, and flexible defense works, as described above.
• Rigid works constructed of artificial materials such as riprap or concrete.
In general, bank stabilization proposed for the project will include "a combination of rigid works ... and
flexible defense works." Rigid works are necessary for the protection of existing flood control
infrastructure due to its critical function at the project location and the limited amount of lateral space
between levees/I-walls and the river bank. Rigid works also reduce the footprint of necessary bank
stabilization towards the riverbed. It is therefore not possible to follow a "no action" alternative or to
install features that are entirely or primarily flexible in nature. However, as a minimization measure for
the impacts of revetments on natural riverine processes and habitat functions, bioengineered flexible
components will be incorporated into the design. The primary flexible component that will be
incorporated into bank stabilization areas is to top dress the armoring with topsoil and then install native
vegetation plantings where allowed by USAGE standards and FAA guidelines or grass within the VFZ.
This will create river banks which are more natural in appearance and provide more beneficial habitat
functions as compared to exposed riprap.
MITIGATION SITE SELECTION AND JUSTIFICATION
Mitigation is proposed within the original footprint of the Section 205 project, including on-site within the
dredge reach (Figure 4), and extending upstream in the Cedar River corridor at the location of previously
established spawning channels and to the upstream limits of the scour study and lighting study
(Figure 1). Off-site wetland mitigation bank credits will be utilized due to spatial limitations within the
project area for on-site wetland mitigation: the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank is
located west of the project (Figure 1).
Existing spawning channels were previously constructed upstream of the project reach within the
Cedar River corridor (see Figure 1 and historical summary in the Historic and Current Land Use
subsection of the Baseline Information section in this report). The purpose of the spawning channels is to
compensate for loss of salmon production due to alteration of riverine habitat resulting from the
1998 dredge and subsequent maintenance dredging. It was not possible to provide this function within
the project reach due to the highly developed conditions surrounding the lower river. Spawning channels
were therefore constructed upstream in a less developed portion of the watershed. Wetland impacts will
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 29
File No. 0693-073-00
also be mitigated offsite through allocation of wetland mitigation bank credits previously established by
the City. On-site wetland mitigation is not practical due to the anticipated recurrent dredging that will take
place within the project reach. All other mitigation elements will be conducted on-site within the project
reach, including: native vegetation plantings, filling void spaces in riprap, gabion removal, lighting impacts
reduction, and scour monitoring. However, the lighting and scour monitoring studies will also extend
upstream of the project reach to RM 2.1 above 1-405.
MITIGATION WORK PLAN
Proposed mitigation elements were described under the Mitigation Goals and Objectives section of this
report. Figures 1 and 4 show the proposed locations of mitigation elements designed to offset project
impacts. Appendices A and F include a JARPA plan set and additional drawings that show these features
in more detail; final construction drawings will be developed upon receipt of environmental perm its. The
following sections provide additional details on the methods that will be employed to implement the
proposed mitigation.
Vegetation Planting
At the request of reviewing agencies and other stakeholders, and in light of the existing degraded riparian
baseline condition, maximizing opportunities for planting riparian vegetation is a primary component of
newly proposed project mitigation. Native vegetation will be installed in riparian and channel fringe
habitats where feasible based upon hydraulic conditions and within guidelines for vegetation along levees
and floodwalls set by USAGE and FAA. It should be noted that vegetation planting in marginal habitats
does present some risk of failure due to inadequate substrates in existing hardened bank areas,
pervasive invasive species problems, and some plantings that will be in locations subject to naturally
dynamic hydrogeomorphic processes, such as migration of the channel thalweg and increased hydraulic
energy along the bank, with the potential to displace planted areas. Some of these risks are addressed
through project design, proposed maintenance and monitoring, and adaptive management, as outlined in
this report. However, not all risks can be controlled. Nevertheless, these plantings are proposed in an
effort to maximize what little potential for native habitat exists in the project reach, and to provide as
much riparian habitat as possible.
Vegetation in riparian and aquatic habitats performs a variety of functions that contribute to habitat
quality for fish and other aquatic organisms. Baseline vegetation conditions throughout much of the
project area are already degraded and project construction activities and levee requirements are
anticipated to result in further degradation of vegetation conditions. The planting plan outlined below has
been designed to offset the losses that will result from the current project proposal, and may also rectify
historic losses to some extent.
A key component of our plan is to ensure that new vegetation plantings are in compliance with applicable
restrictions at the project site so that they will not need to be removed prematurely. All plantings will
comply with current levee requirements, including adherence to applicable VFZs, vegetation height
restrictions associated with airport requirements where applicable, and be appropriate to the anticipated
post dredge hydrologic conditions. We have also specified plantings that will be complementary to
planting actions proposed by others, including the Boeing Company for work at the North Boeing Bridge,
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 30
File No. 0693-073-00
and a future conceptual-level proposal from the USACE for selective tree removal as part of the proposed
levee vegetation variance being developed for the right bank levee.
Plantings proposed to mitigate project impacts will be installed at the following locations:
• Temporarily Impacted Riparian Areas. Equipment access points and bank stabilization work areas
that lack vegetation after construction is complete will be restored by installing native grass and low
growing herbaceous vegetation within the VFZ, and native shrub vegetation in locations outside the
VFZ. A total of 60,823 SF of native grass/herbaceous community and 11,177 SF of native shrub
and/or tree community will be established. These plantings are primarily along the left bank, with
limited areas on the right bank associated with the new bank stabilization and gabion removal
actions.
• Constructed Vegetated Benches Below OHWM. The project has been designed to accommodate
gradually sloped benches along/near the left bank in select locations. These benches are located
below the OHWM at the channel fringe and are expected to be subject to water level and velocity
fluctuations within the range acceptable for appropriate plantings. The vegetated benches will
resemble naturally occurring vegetated gravel bars similar to those that currently occur in some
locations within the Cedar River. These benches may be subject to natural channel migration and are
therefore not anticipated to be permanent, but rather provide a temporal opportunity for riparian
vegetation mitigation for the current dredge cycle. The project area is otherwise extremely limited
with regard to planting opportunities for larger species (trees and shrubs) on the left bank.
Benches were not part of the original 1998 project design. Vegetated gravel benches are proposed
covering approximately 5,395 SF.
• Right Bank Riparian Areas. Additional plantings are proposed in selected riparian areas along the
right bank that have been identified by the project team, in consultation with regulatoiy agencies and
the MIT, and within limitations imposed by current levee and floodwall standards. These plantings
have been designed to be complementaiy to proposed plantings that are anticipated to be installed
by the Boeing Company and USACE on the right bank. The proposed plantings, which will be
comprised of native shrubs and willow stakes primarily, with some trees and meadow seed, will cover
an estimated 34,875 SF.
Conceptual planting areas are shown on the drawings included in Appendix A. A detailed planting plan
will be developed for the project to fulfill this mitigation element. The planting plan will be prepared by a
licensed landscape architect with appropriate experience developing native planting plans for riparian
fringe environments. Plantings will be installed within one year following completion of the dredge
project. All exposed soils and slopes will be temporarily stabilized if planting cannot be completed right
away. Additional details regarding recommended planting methods will be incorporated into the final
design drawings and specifications, as summarized in the following sections.
Timing of Planttngs
Timing of plant installation and construction sequencing will be critical to the success of plant survival.
The planting schedule will be timed around the spring run-off and winter floods to allow the maximum
length of growth period prior to flood events.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page31
file No. 0693-073-00
Plant types and availability will dictate timing of plant installation:
• Live stake and bare root plants typically are readily available and planted during the fall season.
• Container plants can be planted year-round.
• Seed installation will be during the growing season.
Site Preparation
Installation of robust and healthy plants with proper soil preparation and adequate irrigation will be the
first priority. When appropriate, temporary erosion control measures may be required to stabilize areas
prior to plant installation. These BMP measures may include coir logs, compost sock, compost blanket,
erosion control fabric, and temporary erosion control seed, as necessary. An erosion control blanket shall
be considered with seed and planted areas where fluctuation in water levels may require additional
erosion control until the vegetation is established to protect the shoreline.
Soft Bank Bio-engineering, Gabion Removal, and Filling Void Spaces
Interstitial spaces in all bank stabilization work areas proposed as part of the project (new, repair and
maintenance) will be filled with native dredge material to reduce voids that may harbor predatory fish
species and to provide suitable substrate for riparian plantings where appropriate. An existing rock
gabion will also be removed and replaced with a bio-engineered soft bank treatment.
Void spaces in riprap may constitute prime habitat for predatory fish species to hide and ambush prey,
including native fish. Predation may have significant impacts on survival rates of native salmonid fry,
especially in environments with water levels and hydrologic conditions that have been artificially
manipulated by humans, such as occurs in the lower Cedar River and in Lake Washington. Filling and/or
removal of void spaces is proposed to mitigate the impacts of salmon predation by predatory species
below OHWM and provide suitable substrate for native vegetation growth above and below OHWM.
A total of 1,765 LF of newly installed, repaired and maintained bank revetments constructed of riprap will
be treated in this manner. Once filling is complete, these areas will also be planted (see Native
Vegetation Planting section). An additional 100 LF of rock gabion will be removed, replaced with a
bio-engineered soft bank design, and planted. Design details are provided in the JARPA drawings
prepared for the project (Appendix A).
Spawning Channel Maintenance and Monitoring
Dredging results in short-and long-term alterations to spawning habitat and reduces habitat availability in
the lower mainstem of the Cedar River. Spawning channels have been demonstrated through extensive
monitoring to adequately offset these losses.
In accordance with the original USAGE project EIS, the City commits to maintain one spawning channel in
a functional state as designed in order to provide adequate long-term mitigation for cyclical dredging and
associated impacts. The City will continue to maintain the existing Royal Hills Replacement Spawning
Channel at approximately RM 3.5, as required by the original project 1997 EIS mitigation plan for the
initial and future maintenance dredging. This will promote ongoing functional value and continue to
compensate for impacts to spawning from the proposed maintenance project and future maintenance
projects.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 32
File No. 0693-073-00
The City will also maintain the existing Elliot Spawning Channel at approximately RM 4.7 to mitigate the
impacts from channel adjustment until the time the mitigation needs are fulfilled. Specific maintenance
actions were identified for the Elliot Channel during a site visit with WDFW and the MIT, which will be
included as part of the current proposed action. Maintenance actions at the Elliot Channel to be
implemented as part of the proposed action are illustrated in Appendix F and include:
• Reconfigure the boulders at the upstream end of the Elliot Channel porous levee intake structure to
increase the quantity of water from the river into the channel. The feasibility of this concept needs to
be assessed in terms of the hydraulic and geomorphic factors at the site to ensure the stability of the
porous levee (intake structure) will not be structurally compromised by any of the maintenance work
proposed and the desired outcome can be achieved. The feasibility study is currently underway and
will be used to inform the maintenance activities implemented.
• Remove accumulated fine sediments on the river side of the porous levee intake structure.
• Remove the instream vegetation (primarily duck weed and filamentous algae), by hand pulling.
• Retain and maintain the native vegetation while removing invasive species on the channel banks and
adjacent uplands along the entire length of the Elliot Channel.
The City will continue monitoring the two extant spawning channels that were previously constructed for
mitigation of impacts from the 205 project (see Project History). The Royal Hills Replacement Spawning
Channel currently provides spawning and off-channel rearing habitat offsetting losses identified in the
USACE 1998 EIS resulting from original project construction, cyclical maintenance dredging operations
and associated habitat alterations. The Elliot Rearing/Spawning Side Channel currently provides
spawning and off-channel rearing habitat offsetting losses identified in the USACE 2000 EA resulting from
unanticipated channel adjustment possibly exasperated by excessive dredging that occurred in 1998.
Regular monitoring events will be conducted to evaluate current conditions in each spawning channel.
Vegetation and habitat features will be monitored by sampling vegetation cover overhanging the
channels, vegetation cover in the adjacent riparian buffer, and in-stream habitat elements. Hydrology will
also be monitored to ensure appropriate hydrologic conditions for spawning and rearing habitat.
Data collected during each monitoring event will be compared across years to ensure that there is no
degradation of habitat conditions through time. Monitoring will also address potential problems that arise
in the spawning channels as a result of sediment deposition, scour, transport of large woody debris,
flooding, and/or other riverine processes. Maintenance actions will be triggered as a result of the
monitoring data on an as-needed basis. If significant maintenance is required to re-build the channels,
additional permitting may be required.
Lighting Impacts Reduction
The Muckleshoot Tribe has identified artificial lighting as a concern for sockeye salmon fry suNival in the
lower reach. The USFWS and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study on Lake Washington
sockeye fry under varying levels of artificial light and found that predation of sockeye fry in a simulated
stream channel increased from 5 percent under complete darkness to 45 percent at the highest light
level tested (Tabor et al., 1998). Additional studies conducted by USFWS and USGS concluded that
increased light intensity appears to decrease or stop sockeye fry out-migration, increasing susceptibility to
predation (Tabor et al., 2004). The City will conduct a study to inventory existing City-owned lights along
the Cedar River from the mouth at Lake Washington up to RM 2.1 above 1-405. The study will identify
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page33
FileNo 0693-073-00
City-owned lights that can be modified (direction, bulb type, shielding, removal, etc.) to reduce negative
lighting impacts on the Cedar River habitat without compromising public safety.
Scour Monitoring Study
The purpose of the scour monitoring is twofold: (1) to evaluate bed material disturbance depths prior to
the 2015 dredging, thus defining baseline sediment transport conditions (Phase 1); and (2) to monitor
the magnitude, extent, and rates of anticipated bed adjustment over the two spawning/high flow seasons
following the 2015 dredging (Phase 2).
Monitoring would occur during two phases: the first in 2014, before the planned 2015 dredging, and the
second during the following two fall spawning seasons in 2015 and 2016. The timing would primarily
focus on monitoring through spawning and high flow seasons (September to April/May) to document the
depth of bed mobilization and any change in bed morphology. The general extents of monitoring will be
conducted from the upstream limit of the proposed dredge profile near the Williams Avenue Bridge at
River Mile (RM) 1.23 and extend upstream past 1-405 to RM 2.1.
Scour monitoring will be conducted using a combination of HOBO Pendant G accelerometers
(e.g. Gendaszek et al, 2013), standard scour 'chain' monitors (e.g. Schuett-Hames et al, 1999), and
detailed bathymetric surveys of bed surfaces. The accelerometers will be used to measure relative bed
disturbance depths, as well as the temporal patterns of scour and fill. Multiple accelerometers will be
installed on a single chain at varying depths to measure relative depth of disturbance; however, the total
number per chain will depend on how deep the chain can be installed in the bed. The signal from each
accelerometer will provide a continuous record from which the time and extent of scour and fill at that
location can be determined.
Standard scour chains will be used to measure the maximum bed disturbance depths and verify
accelerometer readings. Each scour chain holds a continuous series of neutrally buoyant markers, which
will float to the end of the scour chain upon scour to that depth in the bed. The number of markers that
have been displaced along the scour chain provide a measure of the maximum scour at that location.
Both scour chain and accelerometer apparatuses will be installed using manually driven pipe apparatus
(e.g. Schuett-Hames et al, 1999; Klassen and Northcote, 1986). All of the scour monitoring equipment
will be retrieved at the end of the monitoring season, at which time the accelerometers will be
downloaded and the data analyzed.
Detailed bathymetric surveys of the bed surface in the vicinity of scour monitoring equipment will be
conducted at both the time of installation and retrieval. The detail bathmetric surveys can be compared
to accurately map the localized changes in bedform.
Wetland Mitigation Bank Credits
Wetland mitigation bank credits are proposed to offset 2,710 SF (0.062 acres) of permanent impacts to
category IV wetlands. A Bank Use Plan is included as Appendix D. The City partnered with Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to create the wetland mitigation bank on an approximately
130-acre site adjacent to Springbrook Creek. The mitigation bank includes wetland creation, restoration
and enhancement to provide an alternative to on-site mitigation for public and private projects.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 34
FIie No. 0693-073-00
The mitigation bank improves flood storage capacity and water quality in Springbrook Creek, and
improves fish and wildlife habitat in the creek and adjacent wetland areas (WSDOT, 2014),
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Performance standards for the mitigation are proposed following standards previously established for the
1998 dredge and subsequent mitigation actions. The following criteria have been designed to enable
simple and effective evaluation of the success of the proposed mitigation during the monitoring and
maintenance period (see Monitoring Plan section below). These performance criteria focus on
establishing native riparian vegetation and maintaining effective spawning habitat in the spawning
channels; other mitigation elements, such as filling of void spaces, removal of the rock gabion, the
lighting study, and wetland mitigation bank credits are not subject to performance standards.
The effectiveness of these elements will be demonstrated once construction is complete as part of an
as-built record or, in the case of the wetland mitigation bank credits, are being monitored as part of an
independent process.
Vegetation
Vegetation in planted areas above the OHW line shall conform to the following performance standards
during the monitoring period.
• Minimum 100 percent survival of planted native vegetation after the first year, and 80 percent
thereafter. Survival of 100 percent of vegetation after the first year is unlikely to occur, but this
criterion assures that any first-year mortality will be replaced in-kind as part of the maintenance of the
site, and is consistent with recent guidance documents (Ecology/USACE/USEPA, 2006).
Volunteer recruits of appropriate (native) species may be counted toward the survival rate to offset
some mortality that may occur. Otherwise, if survival falls below this criterion, supplemental plantings
may be required to bring the overall plant community into compliance based on the quantity originally
planted.
• Maximum 20 percent cover of noxious weeds (reed canarygrass, Himalayan blackberry, Japanese
knotweed, and/or Scotch broom). Noxious weeds in excess of this amount should be removed from
the vegetation planting areas promptly.
However, the performance standards listed above will not apply to the right bank willow staking proposed
between STA 1 +50 to STA 3+50 nor left bank planting benches constructed below the OHW. The right
bank willow staking between STA 1 +50 to STA 3+50 is proposed to be planted in response to comments
provided on-site by the MIT and WDFW. However, the project team does not expect high survival in this
area due to difficulty of establishment as a result of substrate conditions on the bank, which is composed
primarily of large rock and riprap. Therefore, maintenance and monitoring of this area will be at the
discretion of the City. Planting benches established below the OHW level are suggested as an interim
temporal mitigation strategy between dredge cycles to maximize opportunities for establishing trees and
shrubs on the left bank (see conceptual drawings and species lists in Appendix A), for which opportunities
are extremely limited in the dredge reach. These areas will be maintained and monitored in accordance
with performance standards to the extent that natural riverine processes, such as channel or thalweg
migration, do not affect the feasibility of doing so.

Spawning Channels
Performance of spawning channels will be evaluated primarily by demonstrating actual utilization by
sockeye salmon as documented through monitoring activities. Spawning in these channels is anticipated
to vary from year to year based on run size, hydrologic conditions, and other factors beyond the City's
control. The City has monitored sockeye spawning within the spawning channels since their construction
and has documented unaccountable variations in spawning use with empirical data (Table C-2). For the
Elliot Channel, historical performance since 2000 has ranged from O to 1,348 redds, with an average of
439 redds. For the Royal Hills Spawning Channel, historical performance since 2010 has ranged from
103 to 478 redds, with an average of 271. Because of the variation in spawning use, realistic values for
future performance are necessary to identify the mitigation provided by each channel and provide a
standard by which performance can be gauged. The number of redds identified for the Elliot Channel is
439, which is the average redd count from 2000-2013, and represents the estimated mitigation credit
proposed in Table 4, above. The number of redds identified for the Royal Hills Spawning Channel is
271 which is the calculated average over the monitoring period. This value is also used in Table 4,
above, to estimate mitigation provided by the spawning channel.
Spawning channel performance is to be evaluated based on these general ranges and the estimated
values for mitigation provided as identified in Table 4. As shown in Table 4, reduction of spawning habitat
is adequately offset by the Royal Hills Replacement Channel's redd and fry production in each year with
excess mitigation produced. Loss of redds resulting from channel adjustment is anticipated to be offset
in one to two years by the Elliot Channel, depending on spawning channel performance.
When accounting for excess production provided by the Royal Hills Replacement Channel towards the
channel adjustment impact, the addition of 115,787 fry produced annually decreases the time necessary
to fully mitigate for the impact to just 1.5 years based on estimated performance and impacts.
Actual mitigation success will be based on empirical monitoring (past and future) data to determine the
numbers and any mitigation excess or deficit will be identified during planning of the next subsequent
dredge event.
In addition, the monitoring biologist will collect general qualitative notes regarding habitat adequacy to
support salmon spawning. Examples of habitat conditions that will be noted, and may need to be
corrected based on the monitoring biologist's expert opinion and/or input by regulatory agencies, include:
• No or minimal areas of erosion or avulsions.
• Adequate depth for fish passage and spawning during the spawning season. Note that historical
monitoring data demonstrate that spawning peaks in the side channels later in the year
(mid-November) than it does in the lower mainstem river, which should be taken into account.
Furthermore, river hydrologic conditions that are outside of the normal range (drought or flood
conditions) should also be considered.
• Adequate depth for rearing year-round. Again, river hydrologic conditions that are outside of the
normal range should be considered before proposing corrective actions.
• Adequate quantity of gravel spawning substrate, limited fine sediments and limited embeddedness in
spawnable portion of the channel, as determined by the monitoring biologist using qualitative
methods (e.g., visual observations).
• No or minimal loss, or adequate natural replacement, of large woody debris as compared to as-built
records for channel construction in accordance with the original design.

SITE PROTECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Site Protection
The areas where mitigation will occur are currently owned and maintained by the City of Renton. The City
monitors activities within the project area and will not allow activities that would damage the mitigation
areas. The City parks department also conducts routine monitoring in the publicly accessible areas which
would identify vandalism or naturally caused damage. Portions of the site are fenced to exclude public
access adjacent to the Renton Municipal Airport and will reduce the possibility of vandalism, although
public access from the river is not limited.
Maintenance
The mitigation spawning channels may require routine maintenance, such as minor repairs to the control
structures, removal of invasive or exotic species, removal of accumulated debris and refuse and
re-planting of missing or dead vegetation. These activities will be conducted annually according to the
findings of the mitigation monitoring or if a specific problem is identified throughout the year.
The Adaptive Management Plan below identifies the contingency measures that may be required if
significant damage occurs to the spawning channels. If contingencies are required in order to re-build or
replace the channels, additional permitting may be required.
Maintenance of mitigation bank wetlands is included in the Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat
Mitigation Bank (WSDOT, 2014) and therefore, is not discussed in this report.
Maintenance of native riparian vegetation installed along the Cedar River will be conducted as needed to
meet the performance standards outlined in this report. This will include comprehensive invasive species
control to be implemented. No maintenance is proposed for the bank stabilization areas.
Bank stabilization areas were designed to address areas that will require maintenance or repair prior to
the next dredging cycle. If maintenance of bank stabilizations areas is required prior to the next dredging
event, these activities are expected to require additional permitting. Additional details regarding
recommended plant maintenance that will be incorporated into the final design specifications are
included in the following sections.
Re,seeding or Re-planting
Plant establishment, and maintenance will be defined in the contract documents and the Contractor is
responsible for the wellbeing of plants. A minimum three-year maintenance period is recommended,
though the USACE permit will ultimately define the maintenance and monitoring period.
Fluctuation in water levels, or other factors, may affect establishment of planned seed and planting
areas. Re-seeding and/or re-planting may be required as necessary during the maintenance period to
provide adequate cover. Replace dead plants utilizing proper installation methods.
Irrigation
Irrigation will not be implemented unless absolutely necessary to meet the survival standards. If
necessary, irrigation can be conducted by manually watering plants.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page37
File No. 0693 073 00
Invasive Species Control
Invasive species including blackberry, knotweed, ivy, reed canary grass, and purple loose strife, among
others, have been identified along the project banks. These and other invasive plants tend to form
monocultures, which threaten wildlife habitat and ecosystem complexity. In addition, invasive species
such as knotweed make it impossible to establish native vegetation due to competition and shade under
and adjacent to the infestations. Efforts should be made to limit the spread of all invasive species along
the shore and in the park. It is important to remember that invasive species can be a problem in upland
as well as lowland/wetland areas. Refer to the King County noxious weeds list for a summary of
potentially noxious species.
Initial clearing and grubbing of planned restoration areas with adequate removal of established invasive
species will be critical to new planting areas becoming established. Once new restoration areas are
planted, it will be critical to control and manage invasive species at the outset. The addition of a 3-inch
bark mulch layer as a weed barrier and moisture retention agent will provide an additional level of weed
control, effective for some species. Other weed barriers may be considered as an alternative if they are
anticipated to provide more effective control of problematic species for the site, such as Himalayan
blackberry and Japanese knotweed.
Continued monitoring through the establishment period and consistent removal of invasive species will
provide new plantings the opportunity to thrive. The use of herbicide and or pesticide may be required to
provide further control of invasive species. Use of approved chemicals will only be at the approval of the
owner.
Fertilizing
Use slow release fertilizer, such as Osmocote™, when fertilizing plants. Avoid the application of
unnecessary nutrients.
MONITORING PLAN
The success of the restoration will be judged against the performance standards using a predefined
monitoring protocol to evaluate conditions at the mitigation sites. Monitoring events will include an
as-built review for riparian vegetation and annual monitoring events for both spawning channels and
riparian vegetation plantings. Monitoring will be conducted by the City for the entire monitoring period, as
required by the USAGE.
Spawning Channels
The City is currently monitoring the Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel and the Elliot Spawning
Side-Channel. The City will continue to maintain the existing Royal Hills Replacement Spawning Channel,
as required by the original project 1997 EIS mitigation plan for the initial and future maintenance
dredging. This will promote ongoing functional value and continue to compensate for impacts to
spawning from the proposed maintenance project and future maintenance projects.
The City will also continue to maintain the existing Elliot Spawning Channel at approximately RM 4.7 to
mitigate the impacts from channel adjustment until that time the mitigation needs are fulfilled. Specific
maintenance actions were identified for the Elliot Channel during a site visit with WDFW and the MIT,
GEoENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page38
File No. 0693-073-00
which are included as part of the current proposed action (Appendix F). Below is a summary of the
monitoring protocol proposed by the City, which will be applied to both spawning channels in the future.
Monitoring Methods and Data Collection
The City proposes to monitor fish utilization and spawning success through direct observation of live fish
and redds. Surveys will be conducted weekly during the spawning season, with flexibility to adjust
monitoring to account for poor visibility (turbidity, high-intensity rainfall, etc.), and depending on run
timing and utilization each year.
Numerical data will be collected during each monitoring event and will be compared to the mitigation
requirements identified in Table 4. Corrective actions, if warranted, will be recommended based on these
data and professional judgment with regard to other environmental variables that may vary from year to
year and could affect spawning numbers, such as run size and flow conditions.
In addition to the numerical data provided by live fish and redd counts, the monitoring biologist will record
general information regarding the following list of physical habitat parameters to assist in identifying
corrective actions that could be undertaken by the City to improve utilization, if warranted:
• Hydrology (flow levels and depths)
• Condition of spawning substrate
• Observations of large woody debris in the channel
• Erosion, avulsions or other physical damage or defects
Reporting
An annual monitoring event a monitoring report will be prepared to document the spawning channel
observations. The monitoring reports will include data as described in the previous Monitoring Methods
section of this report. The data will be compared to the baseline monitoring conditions, previous years
monitoring data and the performance standards set forth in this report. The report will be submitted to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project manager for review and distribution to other stakeholders.
Riparian Plantings
Plant restoration areas will be evaluated annually for plant survival and overall health. Plants showing
poor growth or signs of decline should be evaluated and proper remedies provided. Coppin and Richards
(1990) offer the following advice for evaluating plant performance:
Color is a widely used indicator but must be interpreted with care. Yellowing leaves indicate
nutrient deficiency, particularly of nitrogen, which may be due to infertility in the soil. It can also
be due to impaired functioning of the roots in absorbing nutrients, resulting from low pH,
waterlogging, soil compaction, or disease. Brown and papery leaf edges indicate that the plant is
suffering from drought, either directly through lack of soil moisture or through the inability of the
roots to exploit a sufficiently large volume of soil. Competition from surrounding dense vegetation
is also a frequent cause of drought stress. Dark green or sometimes reddish leaves associated
with poor growth may indicate phosphate deficiency. In cold weather many plants take on a
bluish or reddish tinge, which disappears when normal conditions return.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2D14 Page39
FIie ND 0693-073-00
Data Collection
Data will be collected during each monitoring event to compare the condition of the mitigation areas to
the appropriate success criteria. Data collected during each monitoring event will include:
• Cover of planted species
• Cover of invasive species
• Survival of planted species
• Plant condition
As-Built Documentation
Immediately following plant installation, an as-built inventory of installed plants and documentation of
post-construction conditions of disturbed areas affected by the proposed project will be conducted.
A qualified monitoring biologist will inventory and document the species and quantity of plants installed
within the restored areas of the site. Any pertinent observations regarding the restoration efforts at each
location will be documented.
A description of site conditions following restoration will be presented in an as-built report that will be
submitted to the permitting agencies. The as-built report will include a synopsis of restoration activities,
site photos and describe relevant deviations in the implementation of the Restoration Plan either during
construction or by the monitoring biologist.
Monitoring Methods
To monitor the health and progress of the restored areas at the site, the monitoring biologist will annually
collect quantitative vegetation data at representative monitoring locations through the duration of the
monitoring period as established by the USAGE. Monitoring will be conducted as follows:
• The monitoring biologist will establish belt transects in representative monitoring locations.
The appropriate location, length and number of transects will be determined by the monitoring
biologist during the as-built inventory. The locations of transects will be marked in the field using
relatively permanent markers. Annual monitoring data will be collected at these transects through
the duration of the monitoring period.
• The general condition of installed plants along transects, such as observations of new growth and
signs of stress or disease, will be documented.
• Native and beneficial exotic volunteers will be included in the inventory and will offset losses of
installed native plants. If plant survival falls below the threshold performance standard during the
monitoring period, additional plantings will be recommended to be installed within the restored area.
If noxious species coverage exceeds acceptable levels during the monitoring period, control
measures will be undertaken to comply with project performance standards.
• Wildlife recordings are to be made as general notes by the biologist during the monitoring events.
Observations may include sighting of individual species, nests, burrows or other indicators.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 40
File No. 0693-073-00
• Maintenance requirements such as trash removal and vandalism repair will also be noted.
These observations will be included in the monitoring report.
• Photographs will be taken during each monitoring event to document the progression of the site over
the monitoring period.
Reporting
Upon completion of each monitoring event, a monitoring report will be prepared to document the
vegetation observations. The monitoring reports will include data as described in the previous Monitoring
Methods section of this report. The data will be compared to the baseline monitoring conditions, previous
years monitoring data, and the performance standards set forth in this report. Monitoring results will be
used to identify appropriate maintenance actions over each subsequent year, such as replacement
plantings and invasive species removal, to ensure performance standards continue to be achieved
(see Adaptive Management Plan, below}. The report will be submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers'
project manager for review and distribution to other stakeholders.
ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
In the event that the mitigation areas do not meet the performance standards, adaptive management
contingencies will be implemented by the City of Renton. Since wetland mitigation will be conducted at
an approved wetland mitigation bank, the adaptive management plan developed for the bank will be
applicable to the wetland mitigation credits allocated for this project. The adaptive management plan
focuses on the measurable mitigation components, including riparian vegetation plantings and spawning
channel performance. The riparian plantings have been coordinated with the Corps of Engineers
vegetation standards at levees and unless those standards change, removal of installed vegetation will
not be necessary. If, during monitoring of the installed vegetation, the performance standards are not
met, the City will assess the cause of mortality and develop maintenance options to address the
deficiencies. Maintenance options will include: removal of invasive species within the planting area,
replacing dead individuals with more appropriate species and other potential maintenance activities such
as soil amendments and/or watering.
Maintenance of the spawning channels will be conducted as necessary according to existing conditions
identified during annual monitoring. If the channels are significantly damaged in a flood or earthquake,
the City will assess if re-construction in the same location is feasible or if an alternative option would be
more appropriate. River processes will be assessed to identify potential risks such as channel avulsion,
aggradation and hydraulic isolation related to re-construction or replacement of the spawning channel.
These assessments will identify the appropriate location of a replacement channel, if needed.
The replacement channel would be of similar length, size, and sediment distribution to provide adequate
spawning for the target species.
During the assessment of potential vegetation and spawning channel issues, the City will identify
potential revisions to the performance standards if the planting area and/or the spawning channels are
meeting the mitigation goals in unanticipated ways. The performance standards will be revised within the
annual monitoring report and the City will inform the Corps project manager of the potential revisions.
GEOENGINEER~ December 4, 2014 Page 41
File No. 0693-073-00
FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
Financial assurances are not needed for the wetland mitigation, since credits will be purchased from an
approved wetland mitigation bank. The credits will be purchased by the City prior to completion of the
permit process; therefore, a performance bond for the construction and maintenance of wetland
mitigation is not necessary. The other mitigation features, including riparian plantings, filling of void
spaces, and gabion removal, will be conducted as part of the construction of the project and will be
included in the bid package for the dredging. The dredging is required by the City as part of the Corps of
Engineers agreement outlined in the Operations and Maintenance Manual. The City has encumbered
funds to construct the project which includes necessary mitigation elements from the King County Flood
Control District.
CONCLUSION
The proposed Cedar River Section 205 Maintenance Dredging Project will result in environmental impacts
to the project area, including: riparian vegetation removal, bank armoring, altered flow characteristics,
channel adjustment, and wetland impacts. These impacts related to maintenance dredging were
identified and mitigated for during environmental review and planning for the original 205 project that
occurred in 1998 and are included in the original environmental documents and mitigation plan.
The mitigation for this proposed maintenance dredging will include maintaining the original mitigation
features (two upstream spawning channels) and additional mitigation opportunities to improve habitat in
the lower river. Impacts from riparian vegetation removal will be offset by native vegetation plantings and
seeding. Impacts from bank armoring will be offset through a combination of hard and soft shore
armoring to create more natural banks which function to protect existing flood control structures and
removal of gabions on the right bank downstream of South Boeing Bridge. Impacts from altered flow
characteristics will be offset in part by filling void spaces in the riprap with cobbles, gravel and soil, and in
part through conducting a lighting impacts assessment to reduce predator advantages within and above
the project reach. Impacts to sockeye salmon production resulting from loss of spawning habitat due to
altered flow characteristics (long-term temporary impact) as well as channel adjustment (short-term
temporary impact) will be offset through the maintenance of the constructed mitigation spawning
channels that currently provide substantial sockeye salmon fry production and rearing for other
salmonids. A scour monitoring study will also be conducted to document actual channel adjustment that
occurs before and after the proposed dredge. Wetland impacts will be offset through the acquisition of
wetland mitigation bank credits.
Overall the goal of this mitigation plan is to provide "no net loss" of habitat functions in the lower
Cedar River by maintaining the existing mitigation features that were identified and constructed as part of
the original USAGE 205 flood project (1998), and providing additional mitigation to compensate for
impacts not identified in the original project. Maintenance dredging of this USAGE 205 project was not
needed in the timeline (3 years) that was assessed in the original environmental documents and
mitigation plan. Since it has been more than 16 years since the last dredge cycle, the temporal loss of
habitat functions and cumulative impacts that were identified for the 1998 project have been significantly
reduced. The mitigation features identified in this report will continue to compensate for the loss of
habitat function into the future, as well as subsequent maintenance dredging that will occur in the future.

CEDAR RIVER MAINTENANCE DREDGE PROJECT Renton, Washington
INTRODUCTION
GeoEngineers, Inc. (GeoEngineers) was contracted by Coast and Harbor Engineering to perform a
Wetland Assessment and Stream/Riparian Habitat Assessment at the Cedar River Maintenance
Dredge Project site, located on the lower Cedar River in Renton, Washington. The City of Renton is
proposing to dredge accumulated sediment within the lower 1.23 miles of the Cedar River.
This maintenance project is needed to maintain adequate flood conveyance in the Cedar River to
protect adjacent properties. This section of the river was last dredged in 1998 by the Corps of
Engineers, but recent aggradation of the bed has caused a need to re-dredge the lower reach.
Stream bank improvements may also be proposed as part of the project to manage the effects of
erosion on adjacent structures and facilities. This revised report describes the wetland, stream
and riparian conditions present within the project reach and has been prepared in accordance
with City of Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-3-050 (Critical Areas Regulations), 4-3-090 (Shoreline
Management Program) and 4-8-120 (Permit Submittal Requirements). This baseline report
describes existing conditions and regulations applicable to wetlands and stream/riparian habitats,
and is intended to be used as a basis for mitigation sequencing during project design and
environmental permitting.
Project Location
The project reach is located on the Cedar River at the south end of Lake Washington in
Renton, Washington within Township 23 North, Range 5 West, Sections 7 and 18. The Williams
Avenue Bridge is the upstream (southern) limit of the reach and the mouth of the Cedar River at
Lake Washington is the downstream (northern) reach boundary. This investigation was limited to
the reach where dredging is proposed and did not extend further upstream in Cedar River or
downstream in Lake Washington into adjacent habitats that could be indirectly affected by
dredging. A Vicinity Map is included as Figure 1.
Reach Description
There are four bridges within the project reach, including (from upstream to downstream):
Williams Avenue, Logan Avenue, South Boeing Bridge and North Boeing Bridge. Renton Municipal
Airport is located west of the lower river (below Logan Avenue), Boeing facilities and a public park
are located east of the lower river, and other commercial, industrial and residential developments
are present above Logan Avenue.
Within the project reach between river mile O and 1.23, the Cedar River is a constructed channel
that historically has required continuous maintenance and dredging of the bed elevation to ensure
flood protection. The river is channelized through the project reach and the banks are armored in
numerous areas with riprap, concrete, and/or wood retaining walls. Vegetation along this stretch
of the Cedar River is generally limited to invasive species including Japanese knotweed (Polygonum
cuspidatum), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus)
and Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) in the understory. Several native tree species are also
located within the riparian zone including red alder (A/nus rubra), Pacific willow (Salix /ucida ssp.
/asiandra), Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis) and black cottonwood (Populus ba/samifera ssp.
trichocarpa). The native vegetation communities are dominant along the right bank of the river
within the park.

DATA REVIEW
Environmental maps of the project area were collected and reviewed as part of a paper inventory.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) online
mapper (USFWS, 2013) shows a freshwater riverine wetland mapped within the banks of the
Cedar River itself. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey shows urban land, 0 to 5 percent slopes, in and
adjacent to the project reach (USDA-NRCS, 2013). An NWI map from USFWS is included as
Appendix A and soil survey map from USDA-NRCS as Appendix B.
The project reach is within the jurisdiction of the City's Shoreline Management Program
(SMP; RMC 4-3-090(B)(2)(a)). Critical areas within the shoreline jurisdiction are generally regulated
under the SMP rather than the Critical Areas Regulations, as referenced in the following sections.
The shoreline environment classification throughout the project reach is "high intensity" (City of
Renton, 2011).
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) completed vegetation surveys along both shorelines of
the project reach in 2012 and 2013 (USAGE, 2012, 2013). The purpose of the 2012 survey was to
evaluate the effects of planted vegetation on structural stability of the flood wall and to determine
if a variance to the 15-foot vegetation free zone was appropriate at this location. This report
documents invasive species (Himalayan blackberry and Japanese knotweed) and native
trees/shrubs (willows, red alder and cottonwood) on the riverward side of the I-wall on the left bank
of the Cedar River. A total of 220 trees, the vast majority of which are red alder, were identified
within the vegetation free zone and were recommended for removal. Removal of these trees would
leave 40 trees, all red alders, to provide riparian vegetation functions. The purpose of the
2013 study was to evaluate vegetation on the right bank in the vicinity of the levee, and to
determine suitability of a vegetation variance in this area. Most of the trees in this area are
planted landscape species including shore pine (Pinus contorta) and red maple (Acer rubrum).
The report documented 5 trees recommended for removal, 188 trees that should be retained, and
153 trees warranting further evaluation. Most of the trees recommended to be retained are very
near the river and provide riparian vegetation cover. Although wetland evaluation was not a goal of
either assessment, both reports state there are no wetlands within the project reach.
Additional information was obtained from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) Forest Practices Application Review System (FPARS) and WDFW SalmonScape mapping
application (DNR, 2007; WDFW, 2013). Cedar River is a Shoreline of the State (DNR, 2007:
Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 173-18-210). According to WDFW (2013), Cedar River
supports fall Chinook salmon (Onchorynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (0. kisutch), sockeye
salmon (0. nerka), bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), resident cutthroat trout (0. clarkii) and winter
steelhead trout (0. mykiss) throughout the project reach.

FIELD INVESTIGATION
Two GeoEngineers wetland scientists conducted a field investigation on June 3-5, 2013, to
characterize and delineate wetland, stream and riparian habitat features throughout the project
reach. A photographic record was collected during the field visit to document existing site
conditions.
Wetland Delineation
The City's Critical Areas Regulations do not apply to wetlands within the jurisdiction of the City's
SMP (RMC 4-3-090(D)(2)(d)). Wetland delineation was therefore conducted in accordance with
guidelines presented in RMC 4-3-090(D)(2)(d), which references the use of Washington State
Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Ecology, 1997). In addition, the USAGE Wetlands
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps
of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region
(USAGE, 2010) were used.
Potential wetland areas were evaluated based upon three parameters: (1) hydrophytic vegetation
(USAGE, 2012), (2) hydric soils (USDA-NRCS, 2010), and (3) wetland hydrology (Ecology, 1997).
The presence of all three parameters may result in a jurisdictional wetland. We established three
formal data sample plots to document existing habitat and identify wetland boundaries.
Sample plot data forms are included in Appendix C.
GeoEngineers identified and delineated seven wetlands within the project area (Figures 2-6), which
directly abut the Cedar River. Wetlands A, B, C, F and Gare located on the east (right) bank of the
river, while Wetlands D and E are located on a gravel bar along the west (left) bank.
The wetlands are characterized as a palustrine seasonally flooded wetlands
(Cowardin et al., 1979). Wetlands D and E contain emergent vegetation, Wetlands A and C are
scrub/shrub dominated and Wetlands B, F and G are forested. The delineated wetlands were
rated using the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (Hruby, 2008)
as specified in the RMC. This rating system was used to evaluate and score water quality,
hydrologic and habitat functions of the wetlands and assign the wetlands one of four wetland
categories. Wetlands A, B, C, F and G are rated as Category Ill wetlands requiring 75-foot buffers,
while Wetlands D and E are rated as Category IV wetlands requiring 50-foot buffers.
These classifications and buffer widths are based on their wetland ratings, low scores for wildlife
habitat function, and location within the jurisdiction of the SMP (RMC Table 4-3-090(D)(2)(d)(iv)(c)).
The wetland rating forms are included in Appendix D.
The following Tables (Tables 1 -7) below summarize the classifications, functions and features of
the on-site wetlands observed during the field investigation.

Stream and Riparian Habitat
The Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) is used to define the jurisdictional boundary of streams,
Rivers and Shoreline Areas (RMC 4-3-090(8)(3), WAC 222-16-031), state Shoreline Management
Act regulations (Revised Code of Washington [RCW] 90.58.030(2)(c)), and federal Clean Water Act
(CWA) regulations (USAGE, 2005a). Methods used to delineate the OHWM in the field were
consistent with local, state and federal protocols, including Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 05-05
(USAGE, 2005b) and the Washington State manual "Determining the Ordinary High Water Mark on
Streams in Washington State" (Olson and Stockdale, 2010).
GeoENGINEER~ September 13, 2013 Page 10
File Na. 0693-073-00
CEDAR RIVER MAINTENANCE DREDGE PROJECT Renton, Washington
GeoEngineers placed flagging to mark the OHWM of the Cedar River throughout the project reach.
This flagging was subsequently surveyed by other members of the project team for incorporation
onto a project base map, which was used as the basis for Figures 2-6.
According to RMC 4-3-050(L)(1)(a)(i), the Cedar River is considered a Class 1 stream because it is
classified as a Shoreline of the State. Class 1 streams are not subject to Renton's Critical Areas
Regulations, but are instead regulated under the SMP Regulations (RMC 4-3-050(B)(1)U)(iii);
RMC 4-3-090(0)(2)(c)(iii)). The shoreline jurisdiction extends 200 feet from the OHWM, within
which proposed uses and activities are subject to the SMP (RMC 4-3-090(B)(3)(a)). Within this
jurisdictional area, the standard vegetation conservation buffer width is 100 feet from the OHWM
(RMC 4-3-090(F)(1)(a)), within which vegetation "shall be managed to provide the maximum
ecological functions feasible" (RMC 4-3-090(F)(1)(i)).
The existing riparian buffer on the west (left) bank of the river currently consists of a thin band of
tree, shrub and herbaceous vegetation between the river and the Renton Municipal Airport.
Vegetation on the left bank is generally dominated by invasive species. The east (right) bank of the
riparian buffer includes a similar band of vegetation, but with a higher proportion of native shrubs
and additional maintained lawn and trees, which are managed as a riverside park. Beyond the
park are Boeing's facilities and other commercial/industrial buildings. Vegetation along much of
the shoreline is dominated by opportunistic fast-growing species including red alder, black
cottonwood, Himalayan blackberry, willows, reed canarygrass, and Japanese knotweed. Native
willows and other shrubs have been planted extensively along the east bank. Beyond the narrow
riparian vegetation corridors, the landscape has been impacted by development of the airport and
commercial facilities.

The riparian buffer has been displaced to a large extent by the Renton Municipal
Airport, Boeing facilities, and other industrial, commercial and residential
development. Existing vegetation is generally limited to native and invasive
opportunistic species as well as planted shrubs.
The Cedar River Maintenance Dredge Project is located within a created, channelized reach of the
river with limited riparian habitat. There are seven wetlands identified within the project reach,
located within and adjacent to the Cedar River OHWM. The Cedar River is managed as a
Shoreline of the State in accordance with the City's SMP. Dredging for the purposes of flood
control, when part of a publicly adopted flood control plan, is authorized under RMC 4-3-090(F)(3)
of the SMP. Approval of the dredge project requires the applicant to demonstrate no net loss of
ecological function (including adverse effects on aquatic species or fish migration) and no adverse
impact on recreational areas or public recreation enjoyment. Adjacent bank protection is not
allowed unless absolutely necessary. Bank disturbance to carry out the dredge must be minimized
and restored. Bank protection, if demonstrated to be necessary, must include soft shore
protection and bioengineering techniques as a first priority with rigid structures allowed only as
absolutely necessary (RMC 4-3-090(F)(4)). Shoreline stabilization must not result in a net loss of
shoreline ecological functions or adversely affect natural stream processes.
In general, wetland, river and riparian habitats are currently degraded and beneficial functions are
compromised. While this is the present condition, it is likely these degraded conditions have
persisted since the original construction of this portion of the Cedar River channel and subsequent
ongoing dredging over the past century.

Table 3, below, summarizes the aquatic features present within the project reach.
Project elements proposed landward of these regulated aquatic features (e.g., bank work and/or
construction access points above OHWM and outside of wetland boundaries) but within regulatory
critical area buffers will be required to comply with mitigation sequencing in accordance with the
City's Critical Areas Code (RMC 4-3-050). Project elements proposed within critical area
boundaries (e.g., dredging that will take place below OHWM and/or within wetlands) may require
mitigation to offset project impacts and to demonstrate no net loss of ecological function.

To complete the next part of the data sheet you will need to determine the Hydrogeomorphic Class of the wetland being rated.
The hydrogeornotphic classification groups wetlands in to 1hose 1hat functioo in similar ways. This simplifies the questions needed to answer how well the wetland
functioo;, The Hydrogeomorphic Class of a wetland can be daetmined using the key below. Seep. 24 fur more detailed instructions on classifying wetlands.
Wetland is below the OHWM of Cedar River. Cedar River conlllins threatened and endangered fish species.

Wetland name or number: A
Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
I. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
"------ifyes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the.forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine' wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed ( see p. ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria?
___ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores ofa body of permanent open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size;
___ At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)?
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frin e)
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
---The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual).
---The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may
flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks.
___ The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than I foot deep).
NO -o to 5 YES -The wetland class is Slo e
5. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
river.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding ..
NO -o to 6 YES The wetland class is Riverine
6. ls the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland.
NO -go to 7 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No -go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base of a
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland ha-; a zone of flooding along its sides. GO
BACK AND IDENrnY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use forthe
rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in
the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less
than 10% of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.
HGM Classes within the wetland unit beinfl rated HGM Class to Use in Ratinfl
Slope + Riverine Riverine
Slope + Depressional Depressional
Slope + Lake-fringe Lake-fringe
Depressional + Riverine along stream within boundarv Deoressional
Depressional + Lake-fringe Depressional
Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other class of Treat as ESTUARINE under wetlands with special
freshwater wetland characteristics
If you are unable still to determme which of the above cntena apply to your wetland, or you have more than 2 HGM classes
within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

Does the wetland have the opportunity to improve water quality?
Answer YES if you know or believe there are pollutants in groundwater or surface water coming into
the wetland that would otherwise reduce water quality in streams, lakes or groundwater downgradient
from the wetland. Note which of the following conditions provide the sources of pollutants. A unit may
have pollutants coming from several sources, but any single source would qualify as opportunity.
Grazing in the wetland or within 150 ft
Untreated stormwater discharges to wetland
Tilled fields or orchards within 150 ft. of wetland
A stream or culvert discharges into wetland that drains developed areas, residential areas, farmed
fields, roads, or clear-cut logging
_x_ Residential, urban areas, golf courses are within 150 ft. of wetland
The river or stream linked to the wetland has a contributing basin where human activities have
raised levels of sediment, toxic compounds or nutrients in the river water above standards for
water quality.

" ----R 4 Does the wetland have the opportunity to reduce flooding and erosion? (see p.57)
Answer YES if the wetland is in a location in the watershed where the flood storage, or reduction in water
velocity, it provides helps protect downstream property and aquatic resources from flooding or excessive and/or
erosive flows. Note which of the following conditions apply.
_x_ There are human structures and activities downstream (roads, buildings, bridges, farms) that can
be damaged by flooding.
_x_ There are natural resources downstream (e.g. salmon redds) that can be damaged by flooding Multiplier

or contiguous freshwater wetlands.
Natural Heritage Wetlands (seep. 87)
Natural Heritage wetlands have been identified by the Washington Natural Heritage Program/DNR as
either high quality undisturbed wetlands or wetlands that support state Threatened, Endangered, or
Sensitive plant species.
SC 2.1 Is the wetland being rated in a Section/Township/Range that contains a natural heritage wetland? (This
question is used to screen out most sites before you need to contact WNHPIDNR.)

Bogs (seep. 87)
Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use
the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. If you answer yes you will still need to rate the
wetland based on its function.
1. Does the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either peats or mucks, that
compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to
identify organic soils)? YES ~goto question 3 NO = go to question 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over
bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or
pond? YES = go to question 3 NO = is not a bog for purpose of rating
3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants, if present,
consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more
than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
YES= Is a bog for purpose of rating NO ~ go to question 4
NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that
criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. If the pH is
less than 5.0 and the "bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
4. Is the unit forested(> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western
hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englemann's spruce, or western white pine. WITH any of
the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant

multi-layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare)
that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 inches (81 cm or
more).
NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two-hundred year old trees
in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW
criterion is and "OR" so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter.
__ Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 -200 years old
OR have an average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches (53 cm); crown cover may be less than

Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
'------rfyes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
If your wetland can he classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. !fit is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an fatuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (seep. ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
lfyour wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria?
___ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size;
---At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)?
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frio e
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
___ The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual).
___ The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may
flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks.
___ The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
sha/Iow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than I foot deep).
NO -o to 5 YES -The wetland class is Slo e
5. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
river.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co ressions that are fl/led with water when the river is not flooding..
NO -o to 6 YES -he wetland class is Riverine
6. ls the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present i er than the interior of the wetland.
NO -o to 7 YES -The wetland class is De ressional
7. ls the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No -go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base ofa
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone offloading along its sides. GO

Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use
the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. I/you answer yes you will still need to rate the
wetland based on its function.
I. Does the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either peats or mucks, that
compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to
identify organic soils)? YES ~ go to question 3 NO = go to question 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over
bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or
pond? YES go to question 3 NO= is not a bog for purpose of rating
3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants, if present,
consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more
than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
YES~ Is a bog for purpose of rating NO= go to question 4
NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that
criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. If the pH is
less than 5.0 and the "bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
4. ls the unit forested (> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western
hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englemann's spruce, or western white pine. \VITH any of
the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant

that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 inches (81 cm or
more).
NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two-hundred year old trees
in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW
criterion is and "'OR" so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter.
__ Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 -200 years old
OR have an average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches (53 cm); crown cover may be less than

Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
I. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
"------rryes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
ff your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the.forms for Riverine wetlands. !fit is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (see P· ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria?
___ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores ofa body of permanent open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (Sha) in size;
___ At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)?
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frin e)
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
___ The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual).
___ The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may
flow subsurface, as sheettlow, or in a swale without distinct banks.
___ The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than I foot deep).
NO -o to 5 YES -The wetland class is Slo e
5. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
nver.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co · depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding..
NO -o to 6 YES The wetland class is Riverine
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland.
NO -go to 7 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
7. ls the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No-go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base ofa
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO
HACK AND Jl)EN llFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLUGIC llliUlMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the
rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in
the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less
than IO% of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.

R 4 Does the wetland have the opportunity to reduce flooding and erosion? (see p.57)
Answer YES if the wetland is in a location in the watershed where the flood storage, or reduction in water
velocity, it provides helps protect downstream property and aquatic resources from flooding or excessive and/or
erosive flows. Note which ofthe/01/011,ing conditions apply.

less than 10% cover of non-native plant species. I the non-native Spartina spp,. are only species
that cover more than I 0% of the wetland, then the wetland should be given a dual rating (I/II).
The area of Spartina would be rated a Category II while the relatively undisturbed upper marsh
with native species would be a Category I. Do not, however, exclude the area of Spartina in
determining the size threshold of 1 acre.

Natural Heritage Wetlands (seep. 87)
Natural Heritage wetlands have been identified by the Washington Natural Heritage Program/DNR as
either high quality undisturbed wetlands or wetlands that support state Threatened, Endangered, or
Sensitive plant species.
SC 2.1 ls the wetland being rated in a Section/Township/Range that contains a natural heritage wetland? (This
question is used to screen out most sites before you need to contact WNHPIDNR.)

Bogs (seep. 87)
Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use
the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. I/you answer yes you will still need to rate the
wetland based on Its function.
I. Does the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either peats or mucks, that
compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to
identify organic soils)? YES ~ go to question 3 NO = go to question 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over
bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or
pond? YES ;-, go to question 3 NO = is not a bog for purpose of rating
3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants, if present,
consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more
than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
YES ~ ls a bog for purpose of rating NO = go to question 4
NOTE: lf you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that
criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. If the pH is
less than 5.0 and the "bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
4. Is the unit forested(> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western
hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englemann's spruce, or western white pine. WITH any of
the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant

multi-layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare)
that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 inches (81 cm or
more).
NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two-hundred year old trees
in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW
criterion is and "OR" so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter.
__ Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 -200 years old
OR have an average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches (53 cm); crown cover may be less than

Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydro logic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
'-----tfyes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the tenn "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (seep. ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria?
___ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores ofa body ofpermancnt open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size;
___ At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)?
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frin e)
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
___ The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual).
___ The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may
flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks.
___ The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 Ji diameter and less than 1 foot deep).

X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
river.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co · depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding ..
NO -o to 6 YES The wetland class is Riverine
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland.
NO -go to 7 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No -go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base ofa
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO
BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HY DROLOUIC REUIMES DESCRJBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFc:RENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the
rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in
the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less
than 10% of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.

Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydro logic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
"------r{yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
ff your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the.forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an Erituari11e wetland. Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (seep. ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria?
---The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size;
---At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)?
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frin e)
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
___ The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual).
___ The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may
flow subsurface, as sheetllow, or in a swale \>i1ithout distinct banks.
___ The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Sur.face water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3.fi diameter and less than I foot deep).
NO -o to 5 YES -The wetland class is Slo e
5. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
river.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co · depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding ..
NO -oo to 6 YES The wetland class is Riverine
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland.
NO -go to 7 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
7. ls the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No -go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base ofa
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along it-, sides. GO

rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in
the second column represents 10% or more ofthe total area of the wetland w1it being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less
than I 0% of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.

Bogs (seep. 87)
Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use
the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. If you answer yes you will still need to rate the
wetland based on its Junction.
1. Does the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either peats or mucks, that
compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to
identify organic soils)? YES = go to question 3 NO = go to question 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over
bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or
pond? YES ""' go to question 3 NO ~ is not a bog for purpose ofrating
3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants, if present,
consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more
than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
YES ~ Is a bog for purpose ofrating NO= go to question 4
NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that
criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. If the pH is
Jess than 5.0 and the "bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
4. ls the unit forested(> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western
hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englemann's spruce, or western white pine. WITH any of
the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant

Forested Wetlands (seep. 90)
Does the wetland have at least 1 acre of forest that meet one of these criteria for the Department of Fish
and Wildlife's forests as priority habitats? If you answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland
based on its function.
__ Old-growth forests: (west of Cascade Crest) Stands ofat least two three species forming a
multi-layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare)
that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of32 inches (81 cm or
more).
NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two-hundred year old trees
in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW

Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
"------tfyes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. flit is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the tenn "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (seep. ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria?
_____ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (Sha) in size;
___ At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)"
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frin e)
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
___ The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual).
___ The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may
flow subsurface, as sheet-flow, or in a swale without distinct banks.
___ The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than I foot deep).
NO -o to 5 YES -The wetland class is Slo e
5. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
river.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co · depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding ..
NO -o to 6 YES The wetland class is Riverine
6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland.
NO -go to 7 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No -go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base of a
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO
BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC RLGIMES DbSCRlHbD IN QUESTIONS 1-7 J\PPL Y TO DIFFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the
rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in
the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less
than 10% of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.
HGM Classes within the wetland unit beimz rated HGM Class ta Use in Rat/nr,
Slope + Riverine Riverine

Slope + Lake-fringe Lake-fringe
Depressional + Riverine along stream within boundary Depressional
Deoressional + Lake-fringe Deoressional
Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other class of Treat as ESTUARINE under wetlands with special
freshwater wetland characteristics
If you are unable still to determme which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or you have more than 2 HGM classes
within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

Answer YES if you know or believe there are pollutants in groundwater or surface water coming into
the wetland that would otherwise reduce water quality in streams, lakes or groundwater downgradient
from the wetland. Note which of the following conditions provide the sources of pollutants. A unit may
have pollutants coming from several sources, but any single source would qualify as opportunity.
__ Grazing in the wetland or within 150 ft
Untreated stormwater discharges to wetland
Tilled fields or orchards within 150 ft. of wetland
A stream or culvert discharges into wetland that drains developed areas, residential areas, farmed
fields, roads, or clear-cut logging

Bogs (seep. 87)
Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use
the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. I/you answer yes you will still need to rate the
wetland based on its function.
I. Does the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either peats or mucks, that
compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to
identify organic soils)? YES ~ go to question 3 NO = go to question 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over
bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or
pond? YES ::-:-go to question 3 NO ~ is not a bog for purpose of rating
3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants. if present,
consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more
than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
YES -ls a bog for purpose of rating NO = go to question 4
NOTE: lfyou are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that
criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. lfthe pH is
less than 5.0 and the "bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
4. ls the unit forested (> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western
hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englernann's spruce, or western white pine. WITH any of
the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant
component of the ground cover(> 30% coverage of the total shrub/herbaceous cover)?

Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with
multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8.
I. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
~o to 2 YES -the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
~yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)?
YES -Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
ff your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetland,. If it is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it
is rated as an Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and
this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please
note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (seep. ).
2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water
runoff are NOT sou~ater to the unit.
NO -o to 3 YES -The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can e classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands.
3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria"
___ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size;
___ At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)?
NO -o to 4 YES -The wetland class is Lake-frin e (Lacustrine Frio e
4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
---The wetland is on a slope (.,lope can be very gradual).
The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may ---
flow subsurface, as sheet/low, or in a swale without distinct banks.
---The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and
shallow de ressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than I foot deep).
NO -o to 5 YES -The wetland class is Sia e
5. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria?
X __ The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or
river.
X __ The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years.
NOTE: The riverine unit can co · depressions that arejl//ed with water when the river is not flooding ..
NO -o to 6 YES The wetland class is Riverine
6. ls the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of
the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland.
NO -go to 7 YES -The wetland class is Depression al
7. Is the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not
pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The
wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
No -go to 8 YES -The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base ofa
slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone offloading along its sides. GO
BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRJBED IN (.)UESJIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DllFERENT
AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the
rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in
the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less
than 10% of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.

earth in soils, rock, ice, or other geological formations and is large enough to contain a human.
__ Cliffs: Greater than 7.6 111 (25 ft) high and occurring below 5000 ft.
__ Talus: Homogenous areas of rock rubble ranging in average size 0.15 -2.0 m (0.5 -6.5 ft),
composed of basalt, andesite, and/or sedimentary rock, including riprap slides and mine tailings. May
be associated with cliffs.
__ Snags and Logs: Trees are considered snags if they are dead or dying and exhibit sufficient
decay characteristics to enable cavity excavation/use by wildlife. Priority snags have a diameter at
breast height of> 51 cm (20 in) in western Washington and are> 2 111 (6.5 ft) in height. Priority logs

CATEGORIZATION BASED ON SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Please determine if the wetland meets the attributes described below
and circle the appropriate answers and Category.
Wetland Type -Check off any criteria that apply to the wetland. Circle the Category when the appropriate
criteria are met.
Estuarine wetlands? (seep. 86)
Does the wetland unit meet the following criteria for Estuarine wetlands?
--The dominant water regime is tidal,
--Vegetated, and
--With a salinity greater than 0.5 ppt.
YES ~ Go to SC I.I NO X
SC I.I Is the wetland unit within a National Wildlife Refuge, National Park, National Estuary Reserve, Natural
Area Preserve, State Park or Educational, Environmental, or Scientific Reserve designated under WAC
332-30-151? YES ~ Category I NO ~ go to SC 1.2
SC 1.2 Is the wetland at least 1 acre in size and meets at least two of the following conditions?
YES ~ Category I NO ~ Category II
--The wetland is relatively undisturbed (has no dikinf, ditching, filling, cultivation, grazing, and has
less than 10% cover of non-native plant species. I the non-native Spartina spp,. are only species
that cover more than 10% of the wetland, then the wetland should be given a dual rating (I/JI).
The area of Spartina would be rated a Category II while the relatively undisturbed upper marsh
with native species would be a Category 1. Do not, however, exclude the area of Spartina in
determining the size threshold of 1 acre.
--At least 3/4 of the landward edge of the wetland has a 100 ft. buffer of shrub, forest, or un-grazed
or un-mowed grassland
The wetland has at least 2 of the following features: tidal channels, depressions with open water, --or contiguous freshwater wetlands.
Natural Heritage Wetlands (seep. 87)
Natural Heritage wetlands have been identified by the Washington Natural Heritage Program/DNR as
either high quality undisturbed wetlands or wetlands that support state Threatened, Endangered, or
Sensitive plant species.
SC 2.1 ls the wetland being rated in a Section/Township/Range that contains a natural heritage wetland? (This
question is used to screen out most sites before you need to contact WNHPIDNR.)
S/T/R information from Appendix D or accessed from \VNHP/DNR web site X ___
YES __ Contact WNHP/DNR (see p. 79) and go to SC 2.2 NO X ---
SC 2.2 Has DNR identified the wetland as a high quality undisturbed wetland or as a site with state threatened
or endangered plant species?
YES ~ Category I NO X not a Heritage Wetland
Bogs (seep. 87)
Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use
the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. I/you answer yes you will still need to rate the
wetland based on its Junction.
I. Does the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either peats or mucks, that
compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to
identify organic soils)? YES ~ go to question 3 NO = go to question 2
2. Does the wetland have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over
bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or
pond? YES = go to question 3 NO = is not a bog for purpose of rating
3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants, if present,
consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more
than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)?
YES ~ ls a bog for purpose of rating NO ~ go to question 4
NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that
criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16" deep. If the pH is
less than 5.0 and the "bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog.
4. Is the unit forested(> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western
hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englemann's spruce, or western white pine. WITH any of
the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant
component of the ground cover(> 30% coverage of the total shrub/herbaceous cover)?
YES ~ Category I NO ~ Is not a bog for purpose of rating

Forested Wetlands (seep. 90)
Does the wetland have at least 1 acre of forest that meet one of these criteria for the Department offish
and Wildlife)s forests as priority habitats? !fyou answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland
based on its/unction.
__ Old-growth forests: (west of Cascade Crest) Stands ofat least two three species forming a
multi-layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare)
that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of32 inches (81 cm or
more).
NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two-hundred year old trees
in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW
criterion is and "OR" so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter.
__ Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 -200 years old
OR have an average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches (53 cm); crown cover may be less than
100%; decay, decadence, numbers of snags, and quantity of large downed material is generally
Jess than that found in old-growth.
YES= Category I NO= X not a forested wetland with special characteristics
Wetlands in Coastal Lagoons (seep. 91)
Does the wetland meet all of the following criteria of a wetland in a coastal lagoon?
__ The wetland lies in a depression adjacent to marine waters that is wholly or partially separated
from marine waters by sandbanks, gravel banks, shingle, or, less frequently, rocks.
__ The lagoon in which the wetland is located contains surface water that is saline or brackish (> 0.5
ppt) during most of the year in at least a portion of the lagoon (needs to be measured near the
bottom.)
YES -Go to SC 5.1 NO X __ not a wetland in a coastal lagoon
SC 5.1 Does the wetland meet all of the following three conditions?
__ The wetland is relatively undisturbed (has no diking, ditching, filling, cultivation, grazing) and has
less than 20% cover of invasive plant species (see list of invasive species on p. 74).
__ At least 3/4 of the landward edge of the wetland has a 100 ft. buffer of shrub, forest, or un-grazed
Cat. I
or un-mowed grassland. Cat. I
__ The wetland is larger than 1/10 acre ( 4350 square ft.)
YES -Category I NO ~ Category 11 Cat. II
SC6 lnterdunal Wetlands (seep. 93)
Is the wetland west of the 1889 line (also called the Western Boundary of Upland Ownership or
WBUO)?
YES -Go to SC 6.1 NO X __ not an interdunal wetland for rating
If you answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland based on its Junctions.
In practical terms that means the following geographic areas:
• Long Beach Peninsula·· lands west of SR l 03
• Gray land-Westport --lands west of SR l 05
• Ocean Shores-Copalis -lands west of SR 115 and SR l 09
SC 6. 1 Is the wetland one acre or larger, or is it in a mosaic of wetlands that is one acre or larger?
YES ~ Category 11 NO -go to SC 6.2
SC 6.2 Is the wetland between 0.1 and 1 acre, or is it in a mosaic of wetlands that is between 0.1 and I acre?
YES -Category lll
