HomeMy WebLinkAboutSWP272000(11) (2) MOSQUITO MONITORING AND CONTROL IN THE PANTHER CREEK MARSH 1993 BY TERRY WHITWORTH, PhD Entomologist The 1993 mosquito season was a difficult one with frequent rainfall, cool temperatures and reduced evaporation rates which resulted in large mosquito populations all summer long. Compared to 1992 , dominant species were significantly different. Aedes species populations were very high through May and June, while Culex species and Coquillettidia populations were much lower. Culiseta species populations averaged slightly higher than last year. Aedes species are aggressive biters and create almost all the serious complaints. They are poorly attracted to light traps so their total populations tend to be underestimated relative to other mosquito populations. Tests with dry ice, which emits carbon dioxide gas, attracted Aedes no better than light traps. The most effective way to sample Aedes that I have found is for people to stand in the sample area and collect all mosquitoes that are attracted to them. This technique is time consuming and probably not needed for our purposes. Mosquito breeding was heavy this year and being limited to the use of only Scourge for fogging was frustrating. Scourge is so short- lived (4 hours or less) , that populations recovered within 1 to 3 days when breeding conditions were optimum. We have been using Permethrin for other customers and, even with heavy mosquito population, we get significant population reductions for 4 to 7 days. I would encourage approval of the option to use Permethrin, at least when problems are severe. I think the timing and coordination of this years program was very good. Despite all the homeowner complaints, I think it could have been much worse. For 1994, I would recommend timing similar to this year. Table 1. Female mosquitoes collected in 1993, by date.

Warren MEMORANDUM To: Lynn Guttmann, Public Works Administrator From: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Staff Contact: ✓/Ron Straka Date: September 14, 1993 Subject: Mosquito Abatement Special Assessment District You have asked me whether or not the City can legally form a special assessment district to fund the Panther Creek Wetland Mosquito Abatement Program. The answer appears to be no. The logic used for the special assessment districts is that the district is a discrete area benefiting from the development of a water or sewer improvement. That improvement results in an extra portion of the charge of the SUCC fee. That logic does not apply to mosquito abatement. Furthermore, the legal basis for the SUCC fee is statutory and there is no similar basis for charging for mosquito abatement. There is a statutory section authorizing a mosquito control district. See Chapter 17.28 RCW. However, the county must form the district and the City could elect to become part of the district. The district has the ability to charge an excess levy for its funding to handle mosquito control. I have also found a statutory reference to mosquito control at the state level, but there is no mechanism available to the City to further its goal of mosquito eradication in the Panther Creek Wetlands. I hope this memo adequately answers your inquiry. Should you need further information please let me know. � Lawrence J. arren LJW:as. cc: Mayor Earl Clymer A8:100:64.

The SAD would assess a fee against the City property owners within an identified area which benefits from the mosquito abatement program. The City of Renton has historically managed a Mosquito Abatement Program in the Talbot Hill area to control mosquitos from the Panther Creek Wetlands. The program was originally initiated by the Parks Department as a result of numerous citizen complaints. In 1990 the Surface Water Utility was directed to manage the program due to program cost and permit requirements. The Surface Water Utility has managed and funded the Panther Creek Wetlands Mosquito Abatement Program since 1990. The funding for the program is budgeted annually in the Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget. The revenue generated to fund the Mosquito Abatement Program is from the Surface Water Utility rates and utility bonds. The administration has proposed several budget cuts for consideration by the Council to reduce the City's General Fund deficit. The Mosquito Abatement Program is a Capital Improvement Program which has been proposed to be eliminated in order to balance the City's budget. The 1993 Adjusted Budget for the Mosquito Abatement Program is $40,817. The Surface Water Utility can form a SAD (a City participation Latecomers Agreement) as specified in Section 9-5-4 of the City code. This type of assessment is typically used to pay for new storm pipe systems in streets. Please determine if a Special Assessment District can legally be formed to fund the Panther Creek Wetland Mosquito Abatement program.

Under those circumstances, there is no need for legal review. The Task Orders themselves are technical in nature and have little or no legal implication.

At our request the City of Renton Surface Water Utility (SWU), which is responsible for the funding and management of the current program, has investigated the options for increased mosquito control. The SWU looked at several options, such as increasing the existing frequency, method, and type of treatment. The Committee has decided not to increase the frequency of Scourge treatments because of citizen concerns that the current Scourge treatment program is ineffective. The option of performing treatment on individual private property in residential areas near the Panther Creek Wetland was also considered. Due to legal liability concerns relating to public health and the legalities relating to the use of the Utility's enterprise funds to benefit private property, the Committee has decided that an additional Altosid treatment to the water in the Panther Creek Wetland is the best option currently available for increased mosquito control. Attached is an information sheet prepared by the Washington State University Cooperative Extension describing mosquito control options for citizens to use on their property.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that a second application of Altosid be applied to the waters of the wetland for the purpose of preventing mosquito larvae from maturing into adults. BACKGROUND: As a result of the citizen concerns expressed in the July 13, 1993 Community Services Committee meeting, the Surface Water Utility (SWU) was requested to study the options for increase mosquito control in the Talbot Hill areas near the Panther Creek Wetland. This memo and the following information submitted for your review and approval summarize SWU findings: • Draft cover letter to residents • Informational bulletin "Pest Management for Prevention and Control of Mosquitos" • Copy of July 14, 1993 memo to Larry Warren • Copy of July 15, 1993 memo from Larry Warren • Draft contract cost summary Exhibit B • List of citizens in attendance at the July 13 Community Services Committee meeting The option that was the primary focus of the SWU study was treatment on private property. As correspondence with Larry Warren's office indicates, we cannot extend the abatement program onto private property using the Surface Water Utility's enterprise fund. Since it is not likely that the July 16, 1993 Page 2 general fund has the resources available this year, we will not be able to treat private property this year. Treatment of private property can be considered in any future program, but legally the funds must come from the general fund. The additional expenditure required for the second Altosid treatment is summarized on the attached draft contract cost summary, Exhibit B. The 1993 approved Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement project budget for the 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program is $40,817.55, which includes $12,217.55 carry forward funds from 1992. Therefore, there currently exists sufficient budget to perform an additional Altosid treatment. The budget is divided into the following expenditure categories: Entomologist/Pest Control Consultant Services CAG-92-046 Addendum No. 1 $21,308.00 Proposed contract Addendum No. 2 (additional Altosid treatment) 5,594.00 - Wildlife Census- CAG-93-033 $6,863.00 Staff project management $ 7,335.55 $40,817.55 We hope that the Altosid will provide the additional relief that residents are seeking. An informational letter has been prepared notifying the citizens of the proposed additional Altosid treatment, along with information regarding measures that citizens can take to protect themselves from mosquitos. Upon your approval and signature the informational letter will be sent to the citizens on the attached list. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please call Scott Woodbury at 277-5547.

A EB 1066 CITY OF RENTON Office of the City Attorney Earl Clymer, Mayor Lawrence J. Warren MEMORANDUM 6 To: Lynn Guttmann, Public Works Administrator 1993 CITY From: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Erigineerling C,�p-t. Staff Contact: Scott Woodbury Date: July 15, 1993 Subject: 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Treatment on Private Property By memo dated July 14, 1993, received by my office the following date, you make various inquiries about the city, using city funds, going upon private property to further the Mosquito Abatement Program. Your inquiries fall within two principal areas- 1. What are the legal requirements for the city to go onto private property? This question poses two lines of inquiry. The first is whether or not such a program would result in the lending of the city's credit in violation of the state constitution. I believe a legitimate argument could be made that mosquito eradication is of general societal benefit and that the program cannot be accomplished, adequately, if the city does not cross property boundaries and go outside public property. The second question involves the means by which the city could go on private property. Without a specific authorization, going on private property constitutes a trespass. Furthermore, the application of insecticides or other chemicals to control mosquitoes involves an application of a potentially hazardous substance. The city must obtain an authorization to go upon private property and a release from liability. The faxed copy of your memorandum does not contain a copy of the city's prior form that we used, but I anticipate that the hard copy will contain that form and that I can review it at a later date. Your memo noted some urgency, and so I have chosen to respond before reviewing that form in order to answer the urgency of this inquiry. 2. How should the program be funded? Presently, the funding is from the surface water utility enterprise fund. The inquiry must be made whether or not the program benefits the surface water utility. When the Mosquito Eradication Program was targeted at the property controlled by the public, a good argument could be made that the surface water utility was performing a maintenance program because the waters being treated were public waters, and if not properly handled the public waters could create a nuisance. If there is any danger that the private properties would further Post Office Box 626 - 100 S 2nd Street - Renton, Washington 98057 - (206)255-8678 T'HN PAP FR CO XNTA[NC'4)�PT7C-VC'1 FF)U A TrPT AT I l �11-1-1. 07/15/93 Page 2 contribute to the mosquito problem on public properties, then an argument could be made that the surface water utility could fund the eradication. I expect that we cannot reach that conclusion since it would presume a flow of waters from the private property to the public property, and mosquitoes usually breed in stagnant waters. However, I do not claim any particular expertise in mosquito habitat. If the problem is not one for the surface water utility, then I think our bond covenants and the fact that we have established a utility enterprise fund would prevent the surface water utility from expending its funds on mosquito eradication. At that point the only source of funds would be the general fund of the city. This response is prepared quickly to respond to an urgent request for an opinion. There is little detailed analysis in it, and if we proceed further with this issue a more detailed analysis may be necessary. Lawrence J.

CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: July 14, 1993 Larry Warren FROM: Lyt nn STAFF CONTACT: Scott W dbury SUBJECT: 1993 MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROGRAM TREATMENT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY In response to citizen complaints claiming that the current Panther Creek Wetland Mosquito Abatement Program is ineffective, the Community Services Committee requested on July 13 that the Surface Water Utility investigate the options for increase control. These include increasing the existing frequency of treatment or extending the City program to perform treatment on private property in the area of the Panther Creek Wetland. At the request of Councilwoman Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, we need to respond %� before the end of this week because she will be leaving on vacation. Please respond to �j the following issues by early tomorrow so that we can meet this deadline: s � What are the legal requirements and responsibilities for performing treatment on private property? Attached is a copy of the authorization and release form and �1\ cover letter distributed in March 1993 to property owners in the Talbot Hill area Qa near the Panther Creek Wetland. Treatment to-date has been conducted on the uninhabited portions of private property bordering the wetland, away from homes, and only on the property of those who returned a signed authorization and release. NS If the treatment area is expanded to include areas near to homes, would the authorization and release form be sufficient to legally protect the City? If not what is needed? The current program is funded by the Surface Water Utility enterprise fund. Should these funds be expended for treatment specifically on private property? The current treatment program is targeted to the Panther Creek Wetland area as a whole, not at specific residences. If individual private property is directly treated, is it appropriate to use the enterprise fund? What about money from the general fund? Another source of funding could be through the formation of a Mosquito Abatement District. Although it is too late to be of any benefit this year, the formation of a Mosquito Abatement District as provided by RCW 17.28 will be investigated for next year's program and beyond. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please call Scott Woodbury at 277-5547.

RECOMMENDATION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that a second application of Altosid be applied to the waters of the wetland for the purpose of preventing mosquito larvae from maturing into adults. BACKGROUND: As a result of the citizen concerns expressed in the July 13, 1993 Community Services Committee meeting, the Surface Water Utility (SWU) was requested to study the options for increase mosquito control in the Talbot Hill areas near the Panther Creek Wetland. This memo and the following information submitted for your review and approval summarize SWU findings: • Draft cover letter to residents • Informational bulletin "Pest Management for Prevention and Control of Mosquitos" • Copy of July 14, 1993 memo to Larry Warren • Copy of July 15, 1993 memo from Larry Warren • Draft contract cost summary Exhibit B • List of citizens in attendance at the July 13 Community Services Committee meeting The option that was the primary focus of the SWU study was treatment on private property. As correspondence with Larry Warren's office indicates, we cannot extend the abatement program onto private property using the Surface Water Utility's enterprise fund. Since it is not likely that the July 16, 1993 Page 2 general fund has the resources available this year, we will not be able to treat private property this year. Treatment of private property can be considered in any future program, but legally the funds must come from the general fund. The additional expenditure required for the second Altosid treatment is summarized on the attached draft contract cost summary, Exhibit B. The 1993 approved Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement project budget for the 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program is $40,817.55, which includes $12,217.55 carry forward funds from 1992. Therefore, there currently exists sufficient budget to perform an additional Altosid treatment. The budget is divided into the following expenditure categories: Entomologist/Pest Control Consultant Services CAG-92-046 Addendum No. 1 $21,308.00 Proposed contract Addendum No. 2 (additional Altosid treatment) 5,594.00 Wildlife Census- CAG-93-033 $6,863.00 Staff project management $ 7,335.55 $40,817.55 We hope that the Altosid will provide the additional relief that residents are seeking. An informational letter has been prepared notifying the citizens of the proposed additional Altosid treatment, along with information regarding measures that citizens can take to protect themselves from mosquitos. Upon your approval and signature the informational letter will be sent to the citizens on the attached list. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please call Scott Woodbury at 277-5547. H:SWU/IP-MOSQ/SSW:If July 19, 1993 SUBJECT: PANTHER CREEK WETLAND MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROGRAM Dear Resident: This letter is in response to citizen concerns about the mosquito abatement program expressed at the July 13, 1993 Community Services Committee meeting. At our request the City of Renton Surface Water Utility (SWU), which is responsible for the funding and management of the current program, has investigated the options for increased mosquito control. The SWU looked at several options, such as increasing the existing frequency, method, and type of treatment. The Committee has decided not to increase the frequency of Scourge treatments because of citizen concerns that the current Scourge treatment program is ineffective. The option of performing treatment on individual private property in residential areas near the Panther Creek Wetland was also considered. Due to legal liability concerns relating to public health and the legalities relating to the use of the Utility's enterprise funds to benefit private property, the Committee has decided that an additional Altosid treatment to the water in the Panther Creek Wetland is the best option currently available for increased mosquito control. Attached is an information sheet prepared by the Washington State University Cooperative Extension describing mosquito control options for citizens to use on their property. If you use any of these methods please be sure to follow the label directions, precautions, and limitations of private application. If you have any questions, please call Scott Woodbury, SWU project manager, at (206) 277-5547.

Warren MEMORANDUM 2�� To: Lynn Guttmann, Public Works Administrator JUL 1 6 1993 From: Lawrence J. Warren,,City Attorney CITY OF RENTON Engineering Dept, Staff Contact: Scott Woodbury Date: July 15, 1993 Subject: 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Treatment on Private Property By memo dated July 14, 1993, received by my office the following date, you make various inquiries about the city, using city funds, going upon private property to further the Mosquito Abatement Program. Your inquiries fall within two principal areas: 1. What are the legal requirements for the city to go onto private property? This question poses two lines of inquiry. The first is whether or not such a program would result in the lending of the city's credit in violation of the state constitution. I believe a legitimate argument could be made that mosquito eradication is of general societal benefit and that the program cannot be accomplished, adequately, if the city does not cross property boundaries and go outside public property. The second question involves the means by which the city could go on private property. Without a specific authorization, going on private property constitutes a trespass. Furthermore, the application of insecticides or other chemicals to control mosquitoes involves an application of a potentially hazardous substance. The city must obtain an authorization to go upon private property and a release from liability. The faxed copy of your memorandum does not contain a copy of the city's prior form that we used, but I anticipate that the hard copy will contain that form and that I can review it at a later date. Your memo noted some urgency, and so I have chosen to respond before reviewing that form in order to answer the urgency of this inquiry. 2. How should the program be funded? Presently, the funding is from the surface water utility enterprise fund. The inquiry must be made whether or not the program benefits the surface water utility. When the Mosquito Eradication Program was targeted at the property controlled by the public, a good argument could be made that the surface water utility was performing a maintenance program because the waters being treated were public waters, and if not properly handled the public waters could create a nuisance. If there is any danger that the private properties would further Post Office Box 626 - 100 S 2nd Street - Renton, Washington 98057 - (206)255-8678 THIS PAPER CONTAINS SO%RECYCLED MATERIAL,ID%POST CONSUMER 07/15/93 Page 2 contribute to the mosquito problem on public properties, then an argument could be made that the surface water utility could fund the eradication. I expect that we cannot reach that conclusion since it would presume a flow of waters from the private property to the public property, and mosquitoes usually breed in stagnant waters. However, I do not claim any particular expertise in mosquito habitat. If the problem is not one for the surface water utility, then I think our bond covenants and the fact that we have established a utility enterprise fund would prevent the surface water utility from expending its funds on mosquito eradication. At that point the only source of funds would be the general fund of the city. This response is prepared quickly to respond to an urgent request for an opinion. There is little detailed analysis in it, and if we proceed further with this issue a more detailed analysis may be necessary. Lawrence J.

The area to be treated is the wetlands located just east of SR- 167 between 1-405 and SW 43rd Street (see enclosed maps). To allow access for treatment, we are requesting you to sign the enclosed Authorization I ai Fu Release form. This will allow the program entomologist to access the wetland area through your property and apply treatment if required. Prior to treatment the entomologist will monitor the area and be collecting mosquito samples from light traps to determine the need for treatment. The monitoring will allow the entomologist to determine the approximate time to apply treatment if it is needed. Additional mosquito trapping sites may be needed closer to the treatment area. If your property is selected for a mosquito trapping site, the entomologist will contact you for permission. This will allow us to collect more accurate mosquito trapping results which will better enable the program entomologist to determine the need for treatment. The program entomologist has been working with this problem for several years and has determined the principal mosquito species causing the concern is the Coauillettida Preturbans. The research has shown that this area is the primary source of the mosquito problem in the residential properties located east of the site. This years treatment will be the same as last years which consisted of the application of Altosid (methoprene), a briquet placed in the water which releases a biological hormone and prevents the emergence of adult mosquitos. The Altosid regulates the mosquito larva growth which results in the larvae not maturing into adult mosquitos. We plan to use -n adultic;de chem:ca! spray called Scourge (SBP 1382' kn: , ras pp F d t 9 1, h'ch r.�� a,�rl:e.. to he brush upland areas to contro! adult mosquitos. This will help control adult mosquitos which were not controlled by the Altosid treatment or which originate for other mosquito breeding sources. The Altosid treatment is the most effective if applied when the majority of the mosquitos are in the larval stage. Prior to treatment, we will comply with all conditions specified in the City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program Declaration of Non-significance mitigated as confirmed by the Renton Hearing Examiner (copies of which are available upon request). In that regard, we are working with the Department of Ecology (DOE) as part of the programs temporary water quality modification permit requirement. Treatment will be performed after the necessary permits have been obtained. All treatment will be monitored by the professional entomologist specializing in pest control to assure conformance to the chemical producer's requirements, the DOE regulations, and other governmental laws. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 THIS PAPFR CO'�'P.AI NS W RFCYCI.FD MAIERIAL.I POST CONS[IMFR 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Authorization and Release Request Page 2 We request that the Authorization and Release forms be returned to the attention of Scott Woodbury, 4th floor by April 16, 1993.

I have reviewed the document and provide the following review comments for your use, some of which are repeated from our June 21 st telephone conversation. i Page 1 , Introduction - Revise to say, "This report presents results of the final year of wildlife studies conducted at the Panther Creek wetland complex for the 1989-1993 City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program. The wildlife census was a condition of the Hearing Examiner decision to uphold the 1989 SEPA determination of non- significance mitigated issued by the City of Renton for a five year program.

One issue I want to bring to your attention is that Shapiro deviated slightly from the contract scope of work, as noted in the redline copy. It is too late to correct the deviations with supplemental field work because of the lapse of time since the census was conducted. I will note the deviations in a comment letter to Shapiro and request that they address, prior to submittal of the final report, what effects the changes in scope had on the results. This way I will have on file justification from the consultant for the changes. Other than the preceeding note the report is acceptable, provided the redline comments are addressed. With your concurrence I will compile the comments into an itemized letter response for transmittal to Shapiro. Let me know how you would like to proceed. Thanks.

STUDY AREA The study area is located in the City of Renton in King County,Washington,east of State Route 167 (East Valley Highway), west of Talbot Road,north of S.W.43rd Street, and south of Interstate 405 (I- 405). (Figure 1). The southern end of the wetland is dominated by dense stands of reed canarygrass (Phalaris orrundinacea) with small patches of cattails(Typha latifolia), and willow (Solix sp.). Additionally* a forested, approximately 5-acre stand dominated by willow,black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and red alder (Alnus rubra)occurs at the southern end of the wetland on alluvial soils surrounding the inlet where Panther Creek enters the wetland. The main body of the wetland extends from the reed canarygrass habitat at the southern end to the Puget Power transmission line crossing in the north. It is dominated by dense cattail stands with isolated willow patches. North of the transmission line crossing, the wetland is primarily forested with dense shrub and tree vegetation layers present. The shrub layer is dominated by salmonberry(Rubus spectabilis), and the overstory is dominated by willow, black cotton- wood,and red alder. The entire eastern border of the wetland abuts steep,mixed—forest upland slopes with diverse understory vegetation. The interface between the wetland and upland habitats creates a vegetatively and structur- ally diverse zone with high value to wildlife. The western border lies adjacent to SR-167. A steep, narrow (approximately 20 feet wide) slope provides a buffer between the wetland and the highway. METHODS Methods used in this final annual survey were similar to those used in previous years. Survey protocols are discussed in this section and are expanded upon if they were altered for this year's survey.

FIGURE 1 SITE LOCATIONS 0 11h 3 MAP Scale in Miles SFIAPIRO& PANTHER CREEK WETLANDS 5/93 Mosquito Abatement Program 1993 Survey and Final Report 3 Bird Surveys To assess bird species and relative abundance at the Panther Creek wetland complex, observations were conducted from six stations (first established in 1990). Two stations with unobstructed views of the wetland were located in representative sections in each of the three distinct habitat types (Figure 2). Three 15-minute timed observations of bird species present within visual and auditory detectability were conducted from each station from April 27-29, 1993. Bird species, number, direction and distance from observer, and behavior were recorded. Additional variables recorded included date, time,weather, and temperature. Reptiles, Amphibians, and Small Mammals ,Jftg�te pitfall traps (9 inches deep x 8 inches in diameter) were re-established (several had rusted tfir-o-ugh and were unusable) along three transects around the eastern perimeter of the wetland complex (Figure 2). The western perimeter of the wetland lies adjacent to SR-167 and was not sampled. Trap- ping was conducted within the ecotonal area adjacent to each major habitat type in the wetland, with traps placed in the following manner: (a) traps 1 through 5 were located within the reed canarygrass- dominated habitat; N traps 6 through 13 were located along the cattail-upland interface;and (c) traps X-I G -Z 14 through 18 were located in the northern forested wetland (Figure 2). To minimize the adverse effects of soil water on the pitfall traps, (i.e. flooding and ejection of the cans due to hydrostatic water pressure), the traps were located immediately above the wet season high water level. Traps were baited with millet 8.4n, seed, and cotton balls were added for bedding material to help prevent trap deaths. The traps were opened on April 26, 1993, and checked each morning between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. Traps were closed onF April 29, 1993, and removed from the site. Species, sex, reproductive condition, and weight were - recorded for each animal captured. Additional variables recorded included date, weather, time and ID Art location of capture. All captured animals were marked to distinguish recaptured individuals from ne (�Ae WIY4. 64wim. caught animals, and all animals were released after data were recorded. In addition to pitfall trapping, Sherman live-traps were used to capture rodents within the wetland complex (this procedure was not used in any of the previous annual surveys). Twenty live-traps were -t placed in representative sections of the wetland (corresponding to pitfall trap locations) and operated ''`from April 27-29, 1993. Traps were baited with millet seed,and cotton balls were added for bedding-re , F�pt i'material.to help prevent trap deaths. ,G q Four"active"searches also were conducted to assess additional species that may occur at the wetland PfA complex but were not observed during the bird surveys or captured with traps. Active searches were conducted around the perimeter of the emergent wetland area, in forested sections, and in areas where patches of willow and cottonwood extend into the monotypic stands of cattail and reed canarygrass. Searches included looking under debris, under stumps, in submerged vegetation near open water, and in other suitable habitat. Data recorded included species, location of observation,time, and date. Indirect methods of inventorying mammal species also were employed to assess their use of the wetland complex. Tracks, burrows, runways, scat, and incidental observations of mammal species were recorded while inventories of other wildlife species were conducted. r/ ,t atr .9,N-t 5�ftc*K fifAF00*603 '6C4. v ri 5fAILZO -5,;"Pf A 155 11V6 Shapiro and Associates, Inc.May 1993 10 0 Cn� (n Cn Cn (n N -A 3 N CULVERT i E VALLEY RD (D'm ?

The first area, located at the far southern end of the wetland, concentrated on Panther Creek and its associated tribu- taries. Approximately 500 feet of the stream was surveyed down to and including the drainage ditch running along the eastern perimeter of the wetland (adjacent to SR-167). Shallow water habitat to a depth of 0.5 feet was searched visually using polarized glasses. Deeper areas and water underneath �. streamside vegetation were swept with a fine mesh fishnet. The second area surveyed extended south from the Puget Power transmission line crossing through areas of open water. Open water areas (up to 3 feet in depth) within the wetland were traversed several times and examined for the presence of fish and other aquatic species. Visibility was poor, and all sampling was conducted using a fine-meshed fishnet. The third survey area extended north from the transmission line crossing into the forested wetland area; similar survey methods were used in this area. Minnow traps also were used to assess aquatic species present within the wetland. The traps were placed in open water areas around the perimeter of the wetland (Figure 2). The traps were unbaited for the first day and then baited with commercial marshmallow fish bait to attract aquatic species. RESULTS All surveys for wildlife within the Panther Creek wetland complex were completed by April 29,1993. Common and scientific names of all species observed during the five annual surveys from 1989 through 1993 are presented in Table 1. Birds Results of bird surveys indicate a similar number of bird species recorded for the wetland complex during all five annual surveys (Table 2). A low of 21 species were detected in 1992, and a high of 29 species were detected in 1991. Fluctuation in bird species richness (i.e., number of species) throughout all surveys is not an unusual variation and is expected to occur because of a number of random factors, including time of year, time of day, observer, weather conditions,seasonal variation, and road noise. (Bird surveys at the Panther Creek wetlands were greatly affected by road noise, making it difficult to detect bird calls and interfering with the observer's ability to distinguish species.) During the 1993 survey, 26 bird species were detected during timed observations within the Panther Creek wetland complex (Table 3). The highest number of species (18) were recorded in the willow— cattail dominated habitat at the southern end of the wetland. The reed canarygrass (17) and forested (15) habitat types yielded similar numbers of species. Red-winged blackbird,house finch, song sparrow, and bushtit were the most abundant species detected in the reed canarygrass habitat type. Red-winged blackbird and marsh wren were most common in the willow-cattail area, and song sparrow, black-capped chickadee, and bushtit were most abundant in the forested habitats (Table 2)_? As in previous surveys (Beak, 1990 and 1991;Jones and Stokes, 1992), red-tailed hawks were frequently heard and observed at the wetland. An apparently active nest was observed during this survey (an adult was seen sitting on the nest while another circled overhead). The nest is located about 200 feet north of bird station 6 at the north end of the northern forested wetland area. Most of the other bird species observed during the surveys were infrequently encountered or were inci- dental observations during surveys for other wildlife.

Three amphibian, one reptile, and six mammal species were observed and/or captured at the wetland (Tables 4 and 5). A single western—redback salamander was captured in a pitfall trap in the northern forested wetland. Vagrant and masked shrews,and shrew moles also were captured in pitfall traps (Table .......... 4). Twenty-nine deer mice were captured with the Sher-man live-traps and several were captured more than once (43 total captures). Raccoon and skunk sign were observed during"active"searches or incidental observations during other aspects of the wildlife surveys. Raccoon and skunk tracks were found in several locations, and two striped skunks were observed (Table 5). Aquatic Species As in previous years, three—spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were the only fish species ob- �Jw served within the Panther Creek wetland complex. Eight sticklebacks were captured with a fishnet in a� approximately 100-meter reach of the unnamed creek upstream of the culvert under SR-167 at the AQU PM northwest edge of the northern forested wetland (Table 6; Figure 2). This also was the only location that sticklebacks were observed in the 1992 surveys (Jones and Stokes, 1992). No fish were observed in any other portion of the wetland, however,nor were any captured in minnow traps. Several water beetles were captured with the minnow traps (Family Dytiscidae) and were the only other aquatic species captured. No amphibians were captured in the minnow traps. DISCUSSION The Panther Creek wetland complex continues to possess a diverse array of wildlife species. All species observed during the 1993 survey are common in western Washington and are consistent with wildlife species observed at the Panther Creek wetlands during annual surveys from 1989 through 1992, and in numerous wetlands throughout King County as part of the Puget Sound Wetlands and Stormwater Management and Research Program (West and Rector, 1989). No state or federally listed threatened or endangered species were observed during the survey, and none are reported for the immediate vicinity of the study area(Young, 1993). The results of this year's study, in conjunction with all previous studies, indicate a relatively stable wildlife community, but with a reduced number o(#sh and amphibians captured from previous years. Ap..h( ---,/ (� -S?#ACJ The five-year trend in bird species richness and abundance at the wetland indicates a stable community with no significant change in species composition. As mentioned previously,species number ranged from 21 to 29 species and is within an expected range of variation for natural populations (Southwood, 1978),given survey conditions (see above). Amphibian and f1sK populations Zvere infrequently observed in the 1993 survey, compared with the 1991 survey (Beak, 1991). Although several frogs were observed,only one salamander was captured (Table 4). A similarly low number of*and amphibians were captured during the 1992 survey (Jones and Stokes, 1992).

Most open water areas in the wetland dry up each year, and fish ...... populations apparently seek refuge in remaining pools until seasonal rains restore water levels that enable the fish to recolonize the wetland. If no,or few, water pools remained at the end of the summer in 1992 (because of the drought), most fish in the wetland would have perished, preventing their successful recolonization of the wetland in 1993, following winter and spring rains. Additional variables that may b.e,a factor in the apparent decline in fish populations within the wetland are discussed in the 1992 (7n�a eport (Jones and Stokes, 1992). A4—f'4-' 50� The Panther Creek wetland continues to be inhabited by a diverse and abundant assemblage of species. Although some fluctuations in species abundance has occurred (reduced number of observed adult amphibians and stickleback fish), the surveys reveal a wildlife community that remains typical for a wetland of this size,degree of isolation from undisturbed habitat, weather conditions, and time of year the surveys were conducted throughout the five-year period.

Subject: Mosquito Abatement The purpose of this letter is to demand that the City of Renton officials start doing their jobs by monitoring the activities of the "so-called" contractor that is supposed to be conducting the extermination work ! His work force is conducting the spraying activity as if they were on a Sunday Stroll using the same path and basically just hitting the high spots ! I also assumed that his primary responsibility was to eliminate the majority of the mosquito problems from the "so-called" Panther Creek Wetlands--Not peddle his merchandise by trying to sell my neighbors on spraying their yards for ($25) a piece ! I can actually understand why the City of Renton has their "so-called" financial difficulties with their present hiring tactics of contractors of this caliber ! It makes the average citizen actually wonder if the majority of the contracts awarded by the City of Renton aren 't to one of our City Officials Relatives or very close friends ! There have been a few cases where the question of "Conflict of Interest has arisen among our "so-called" elected officials ! To save the City of Renton money every year for a mosquito abatement program provision should be made to drain all the water out of the swamp that you are proclaiming to be a wet land and let this area dry out ! It doesn 't take a rocket scientist to see the only reason this swamp exist is because of Highway 167 causing a dike effect , holding back all of the rain and drain water from the Talbott Hill area ! I can only pray to God the citizens of Renton demand the immediate termination of each and every city official if the people find out that they are being taken advantage of !

Previous studies were conducted by Shapiro and Associates, Inc. (SHAPIRO) and the Coot Company (1989), Beak Consultants, Inc. (1990 and 1991), and Jones and Stokes Associates(1992). Standardized survey protocols were established in 1990 by Beak Consultants, Inc. (by Mark Rector,currently with SHAPIRO),and were followed closely with minor improvements and/or changes during the following three annual surveys (1991 through 1993). Wetland habitats have been described previously for the approximately 65-acre site (The Coot Company, 1989), and in all other annual reports (Beak, 1990, 1991;Jones and Stokes, 1992). Portions of the wetlands are owned by the City of Renton;the remainder are owned by private landown- ers, including homeowners residing on uplands located east of the wetlands. The Mosquito Abatement Program was initiated in 1989, and the City of Renton is required to conduct an annual wildlife census, for a period of five years,prior to treatments for mosquito control. The surveys are intended to assess whether the applications of Altosid (TM) and Scourge have an adverse effect on wildlife species within the Panther Creek wetland complex. STUDY AREA The study area is located in the City of Renton in King County,Washington, east of State Route 167 (East Valley Highway),west of Talbot Road,north of S.W.43rd Street, and south of Interstate 405 (1- 405). (Figure 1). The southern end of the wetland is dominated by dense stands of reed canarygrass (P"ris arundinacea) with small patches of cattails(Typha laafolia), and willow (Solix sp.). Additionally, a forested, approximately 5-acre stand dominated by willow,black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) and red alder (Alnus rubra)occurs at the southern end of the wetland on alluvial soils surrounding the inlet where Panther Creek enters the wetland. The main body of the wetland extends from the reed canarygrass habitat at the southern end to the Puget Power transmission line crossing in the north. It is dominated by dense cattail stands with isolated willow patches. North of the transmission line crossing, the wetland is primarily forested with dense shrub and tree vegetation layers present. The shrub layer is dominated by salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis),and the overstory is dominated by willow,black cotton- wood,and red alder. The entire eastern border of the wetland abuts steep,mixed—forest upland slopes with diverse understory vegetation. The interface between the wetland and upland habitats creates a vegetatively and structur- ally diverse zone with high value to wildlife. The western border lies adjacent to SR-167. A steep, narrow (approximately 20 feet wide) slope provides a buffer between the wetland and the highway. METHODS Methods used in this final annual survey were similar to those used in previous years. Survey protocols are discussed in this section and are expanded upon if they were altered for this year's survey.

Two stations with unobstructed views of the wetland were located in representative sections in each of the three distinct habitat types (Figure 2). Three 15—minute timed observations of bird species present within visual and auditory detectability were conducted from each station from April 27-29, 1993. Bird species,number,direction and distance from observer, and behavior were recorded. Additional variables recorded included date,time,weather, and temperature. Reptiles, Amphibians, and Small Mammals Eighteen pitfall traps(9 inches deep x 8 inches in diameter) were re-established (several had rusted through and were unusable) along three transects around the eastern perimeter of the wetland complex (Figure 2). The western perimeter of the wetland lies adjacent to SR-167 and was not sampled. Trap- ping was conducted within the ecotonal area adjacent to each major habitat type in the wetland,with traps placed in the following manner: (a) traps 1 through 5 were located within the reed canarygrass- dominated habitat; (b) traps 6 through 13 were located along the cattail—upland interface;and (c) traps 14 through 18 were located in the northern forested wetland (Figure 2). To minimize the adverse effects of soil water on the pitfall traps, (i.e.flooding and ejection of the cans due to hydrostatic water pressure), the traps were located immediately above the wet season high water level. Traps were baited with millet seed,and cotton balls were added for bedding material to help prevent trap deaths. The traps were opened on April 26, 1993, and checked each morning between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. Traps were closed on April 29, 1993, and removed from the site. Species, sex,reproductive condition, and weight were recorded for each animal captured. Additional variables recorded included date,weather, time and location of capture. All captured animals were marked to distinguish recaptured individuals from newly caught animals, and all animals were released after data were recorded. In addition to pitfall trapping,Sherman live-traps were used to capture rodents within the wetland complex (this procedure was not used in any of the previous annual surveys). Twenty live-traps were placed in representative sections of the wetland (corresponding to pitfall trap locations) and operated from April 27-29, 1993. Traps were baited with millet seed,and cotton balls were added for bedding material to help prevent trap deaths. Four"active" searches also were conducted to assess additional species that may occur at the wetland complex but were not observed during the bird surveys or captured with traps. Active searches were conducted around the perimeter of the emergent wetland area, in forested sections, and in areas where patches of willow and cottonwood extend into the monotypic stands of cattail and reed canarygrass. Searches included looking under debris,under stumps, in submerged vegetation near open water,and in other suitable habitat. Data recorded included species,location of observation,time,and date. Indirect methods of inventorying mammal species also were employed to assess their use of the wetland complex. Tracks,burrows,runways,scat, and incidental observations of mammal species were recorded while inventories of other wildlife species were conducted.

The first area, located at the far southern end of the wetland,concentrated on Panther Creek and its associated tribu- taries. Approximately 500 feet of the stream was surveyed down to and including the drainage ditch running along the eastern perimeter of the wetland(adjacent to SR467). Shallow water habitat to a depth of 0.5 feet was searched visually using polarized glasses. Deeper areas and water underneath streamside vegetation were swept with a fine mesh fishnet. The second area surveyed extended south from the Puget Power transmission line crossing through areas of open water. Open water areas (up to 3 feet in depth) within the wetland were traversed several times and examined for the presence of fish and other aquatic species. Visibility was poor,and all sampling was conducted using a fine-meshed fishnet. The third survey area extended north from the transmission line crossing into the forested wetland area; similar survey methods were used in this area. Minnow traps also were used to assess aquatic species present within the wetland.The traps were placed in open water areas around the perimeter of the wetland (Figure 2). The traps were unbaited for the first day and then baited with commercial marshmallow fish bait to attract aquatic species. RESULTS All surveys for wildlife within the Panther Creek wetland complex were completed by April 29,1993. Common and scientific names of all species observed during the five annual surveys from 1989 through 1993 are presented in Table 1. Birds Results of bird surveys indicate a similar number of bird species recorded for the wetland complex during all five annual surveys (Table 2). A low of 21 species were detected in 1992,and a high of 29 species were detected in 1991. Fluctuation in bird species richness (i.e.,number of species) throughout all surveys is not an unusual variation and is expected to occur because of a number of random factors, including time of year,time of day,observer,weather conditions, seasonal variation, and road noise. (Bird surveys at the Panther Creek wetlands were greatly affected by road noise,making it difficult to detect bird calls and interfering with the observer's ability to distinguish species.) During the 1993 survey, 26 bird species were detected during timed observations within the Panther Creek wetland complex (Table 3). The highest number of species(18) were recorded in the willow— cattail dominated habitat at the southern end of the wetland. The reed canarygrass (17) and forested (15)habitat types yielded similar numbers of species. Red-winged blackbird,house finch,song sparrow,and bushtit were the most abundant species detected in the reed canarygrass habitat type.Red-winged blackbird and marsh wren were most common in the willow-cattail area, and song sparrow,black-capped chickadee, and bushtit were most abundant in the forested habitats (Table 2). As in previous surveys (Beak, 1990 and 1991;Jones and Stokes, 1992),red-tailed hawks were frequently heard and observed at the wetland. An apparently active nest was observed during this survey (an adult was seen sitting on the nest while another circled overhead). The nest is located about 200 feet north of bird station 6 at the north end of the northern forested wetland area. Most of the other bird species observed during the surveys were infrequently encountered or were inci- dental observations during surveys for other wildlife.

A single western—redback salamander was captured in a pitfall trap in the northern forested wetland. Vagrant and masked shrews,and shrew motes also were captured in pitfall traps (Table 4). Twenty-nine deer mice were captured with the Sherman live-traps and several were captured more than once (43 total captures). Raccoon and skunk sign were observed during"active"searches or incidental observations during other aspects of the wildlife surveys. Raccoon and skunk tracks were found in several locations, and two striped skunks were observed (Table 5). Aquatic Species As in previous years,three—spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were the only fish species ob- served within the Panther Creek wetland complex.Eight sticklebacks were captured with a fishnet in an approximately 100-meter reach of the unnamed creek upstream of the culvert under SR-167 at the northwest edge of the northern forested wetland (Table 6;Figure 2). This also was the only location that sticklebacks;were observed in the 1992 surveys (Jones and Stokes, 1992). No fish were observed in any other portion of the wetland,however,nor were any captured in minnow traps. Several water beetles were captured with the minnow traps (Family Dytiscidae) and were the only other aquatic species captured. No amphibians were captured in the minnow traps. DISCUSSION The Panther Creek wetland complex continues to possess a diverse array of wildlife species. All species observed during the 1993 survey are common in western Washington and are consistent with wildlife species observed at the Panther Creek wetlands during annual surveys from 1989 through 1992, and in numerous wetlands throughout King County as part of the Puget Sound Wetlands and Stormwater Management and Research Program (West and Rector, 1989). No state or federally listed threatened or endangered species were observed during the survey,and none are reported for the immediate vicinity of the study area(Young, 1993). The results of this year's study, in conjunction with all previous studies, indicate a relatively stable wildlife community, but with a reduced number of fish and amphibians captured from previous years. The five-year trend in bird species richness and abundance at the wetland indicates a stable community with no significant change in species composition. As mentioned previously,species number ranged from 21 to 29 species and is within an expected range of variation for natural populations (Southwood, 1978),given survey conditions (see above). Amphibian and fish populations were infrequently observed in the 1993 survey, compared with the 1991 survey (Beak, 1991). Although several frogs were observed,only one salamander was captured (Table 4). A similarly low number of fish and amphibians were captured during the 1992 survey (Jones and Stokes, 1992).

The regional drought that occurred during 1992 may have played a large role in the apparent reduction in populations of these species groups. Most open water areas in the wetland dry up each year, and fish populations apparently seek refuge in remaining pools until seasonal rains restore water levels that enable the fish to recolonize the wetland. If no,or few,water pools remained at the end of the summer in 1992 ........... (because of the drought), most fish in the wetland would have perished, preventing their successful recolonization of the wetland in 1993,following winter and spring rains. Additional variables that may be a factor in the apparent decline in fish populations within the wetland are discussed in the 1992 annunal report (Jones and Stokes, 1992). The Panther Creek wetland continues to be inhabited by a diverse and abundant assemblage of species. Although some fluctuations in species abundance has occurred (reduced number of observed adult amphibians and stickleback fish), the surveys reveal a wildlife community that remains typical for a wetland of this size,degree of isolation from undisturbed habitat, weather conditions, and time of year the surveys were conducted throughout the five-year period.

G-2 The applicator shall comply with all insecticide label instructions. If application conditions in Administrative Orders issued by the Department of Ecology differ from those on insecticide labels, the more stringent of the two requirements must be complied with. Otherwise, no condition in this Administrative Order, any amended Order, or any specific Order shall override insecticide label instructions. G-3 The applicator shall determine and use the lowest dosage that will effectuate treatment. G-4 The applicator shall apply insecticides in a manner that shall not damage crops, landscapes, or livestock watered with treated water. The applicator shall comply with all requirements promulgated in WSDA's WAC 16-228-185(2). G-5 In addition to any other agencies which require notification, the applicator shall notify the person who is responsible for this Order at the appropriate regional office of Ecology (not including Saturday, Sunday or legal state holidays) following receipt of any citizen complaint regarding issues of public health, environmental safety, or any condition in this Administrative Order, any amended Order, or any specific Order. G-6 The applicator shall immediately notify the appropriate regional office of Ecology if any fish or other animal species are killed in association with insecticide treatment (refer to the telephone numbers under G- 10). Should this occur, there shall be a general prohibition of the insecticide being used at the time that the species are killed. In addition, there shall be a site-specific prohibition of insecticide treatment of any kind in the area where species are killed. Neither of these prohibitions can be lifted without written permission from Ecology. G-7 In the event of an unauthorized discharge of insecticide into state waters, or onto land with a potential for entry into state waters, containment and cleanup efforts shall begin immediately and be completed as soon as possible, taking precedence over normal work. Cleanup shall include legal disposal of any spilled material and used cleanup material. The 24-hour reporting numbers for each regional office are: Northwest Region 206-649-7000 Southwest Region 206-753-2353 Eastern Region 509-456-2926 Central Region 509-575-2490 G-8 The applicator shall obtain written permission from the regional Lands Agent of the Department of Wildlife prior to using any of its access areas or other Department of Wildlife lands.

G-10 All persons applying mosquito control insecticides under this order shall possess an up-to-date Operators/Applicators license in the category of aquatic or vector control, issued by the WSDA. G-1 1 The applicator shall not cause water-use restrictions (i.e., restrictions on swimming, fish consumption, or domestic use) to occur during Memorial Day weekend, July 4th weekend, Labor Day weekend, or the opening day of any applicable fishing season. The applicator shall also minimize the occurrence of water use restrictions during non- holiday weekends. G-12 The applicator shall not use wind or water currents to distribute insecticides, except when such methods are an integral part of the application process. In such cases the applicator shall comply with the conditions specified in RCW 17.21 . 2 G-13 The results of monitoring plans, when they exist, shall be available to Ecology upon request. If a meaningful monitoring program is not already in place, Ecology will work with applicators and the Department of Health to establish a program. G-14 1 . The applicator shall keep application records in accordance with regulations and procedures promulgated by the WSDA (RCW 17.21 .100 and WAC 16-228-190). 2. Application records shall be complete and available to Ecology within 24 hours following insecticide applications. G-15 During all insecticide applications, the applicator or persons applying insecticides shall possess, on site of the mosquito control application, a copy of this Administrative Order. G-16 This approval does not relieve the applicant from the responsibility of meeting the applicable regulations of other agencies. Public Notice Procedures P-1 Notification of adjacent landowners and the public will be required at least 24 hours, but not more than 7 days, prior to the commencement of initial mosquito control activities. After the season begins, continuing notification is required until all mosquito control activities are completed. This can include notification in newspapers, posting of property, radio/television public service announcements, handbills, mailings to adjacent landowners, or all of the above notification procedures. When appropriate, notification shall be given in English and Spanish. The information shall include the name of the material(s) used, where it is to be applied, any restrictions needed to protect human health and livestock, and the name and phone number of the applicator and of Ecology's regional office. P-2 Notification shall be posted when pesticides with water-use restrictions are applied to waterbodies which are used for water supply (i.e. domestic, industrial, agricultural), stock watering, fish and shellfish harvesting, or water contact recreation (i.e. swimming, boating). Information in the notice shall include the name of the chemical used, when and where it was applied, label restrictions, and contact numbers of the applicator and the appropriate Department of Ecology regional office. The applicator shall post signs no more than 24 hours prior to application. Signs shall remain in place until the end 3 of the period of water-use restrictions. The applicator shall remove signs within 48 hours following the end of the period of water-use restrictions. 1 ) Posting Public and Private Shoreline Areas: These areas may include, but are not limited to: beaches, docks, boat launches at resorts, privately-owned community access areas, and public access areas. Signs shall be a minimum of 8 1/2 by 11 inches in size and be made of a durable weather resistant material. Lettering shall be in bold black type with the word "WARNING" or "CAUTION" at least 1 inch high and all other words at least 1/4 inch high. The sign board shall be white. Signs must be placed at all reasonable points of ingress and egress to the treatment area. Signs shall be posted so they are secure from the normal effects of weather and water currents but cause no damage to private or public property. Pesticide Restrictions C-1 To determine whether threatened or endangered species may be affected by their use, coordination with the Department of Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources' Natural Heritage Program is required before using any form of chemical pesticide treatment. In addition, those biological treatments which involve the introduction of a new species which is expected to remain in the ecosystem (such as the "mosquito fish," gambusia affinis) also require permission from the Department of Wildlife. EPA restrictions on registered pesticides may be made more stringent by the state. C-2 Bacillus thuringiensis israe/insis (BTI) and methoprene in liquid form may be applied to surface waters of the state. C-3 Methoprene in the form of briquets or pellets may be used only in isolated, non-fish bearing waters. C-4 Chemical control methods, such as Golden Bear Oil, methoxychlor and organophosphates, will be considered by the regional offices on a case-by-case basis. Chemical controls will be approved only in those cases where habitat and biological controls have already proven ineffective, or when there is a clear threat to public health, as when a mosquito population has been positively identified as a carrier of a health-threatening disease. 4 CERTIFIED gT^TEo� DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY -- F 6 - Northwest Regional Office 3190- 160th Ave. S.E.

CONSULTANT CITY OF RENTON BY BY Signature Date Signature Date Lynn Guttmann,Adminsitrator Planning/Building/Public Works Department Type or print name Title C:DOCS:93-323:SS W:ps Page 9 • a EXHIBIT "A" CITY OF RENTON PROJECT DESCRIPTION, SCOPE OF WORK, METHODS, AND SCHEDULE 1993 MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROGRAM WILDLIFE CENSUS DESCRIPTION: The City of Renton will be conducting the Panther Creek Wetlands Mosquito Abatement Program this year. The Hearing Examiner conditions (File No. AAD-035-89) for the program requires that a wildlife census be conducted prior to treatment of the wetland each year. A wildlife census of birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals shall be performed prior to treatment of the wetland. The census shall be conducted in a formal, professional manner and shall include the normal methodologies utilized to conduct field observations of species in their native environment. The observations shall also include those wildlife species which reside in the wetland and those which utilize it as a source of food. The wildlife census shall be completed before May 1, 1993. The 1993 wildlife census shall be conducted in a fashion similar to previous annual wildlife census methodologies to allow comparison with the previous reports. Copies of previous wildlife census reports for the program will be provided by the City. SCOPE OF WORK The wildlife census tasks to be performed are summarized below: 1) Preliminary site visit to establish observation stations and trap locations. 2) Bird surveys: Three (3) site visits at each of a total of six (6) observation stations. 3) Reptile and amphibian surveys: Four (4) pitfall trap nights per a minimum of twenty (20) traps for a total of 80 trap nights. Four (4) "active" searches at four (4) hours each. Pitfall traps will also remain open during the day and checked at night. 4) Fish surveys: Active searches for fish species with the use of polarized sun glasses, dip nets, minnow traps, and flashlights at night. The survey is to be conducted in three separate sections of the wetland with a minimum of one day per section. 5) Mammal surveys: Four (4) Sherman live trap nights per a minimum of twenty (20) traps for a total of eighty (80) trap nights. Traps will also remain open during the day and checked at night. . s Scope of Work 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Wildlife Census Page 2 6) Upon completion of field work, the City of Renton will be provided with a final report including the following: • Census methodology • List of all species observed and their relative abundance per unit effort • Map and description of the survey area with locations of traps, observation points, and important observations. • Census findings and conclusions, with comparison of results of 1993 census and all previous studies to determine what, if any, impact the treatment has on the existing fauna. • Tabular comparison of all previous surveys. All necessary permits required to conduct the census shall be the responsibility of the selected consultant. A Washington State Department of Wildlife trapping permit will be required prior to the trapping of any animals. Coordination with the City will be required for right-of-entry on private properties. METHODS A wildlife collection permit will be obtained in order to commence trapping procedures designed to assess small mammal and amphibian species at the wetland. These permits generally require up to 30 days to process and are required by the Washington Department of Wildlife (WDW). Shapiro will initiate the permit process and submit an application for wildlife collections to WDW. Surveys for birds and fish will not be affected by permit requirements and will be conducted using standard field methodologies described below. Trap locations and survey points established in 1990 by Beak Consultants, Inc. will be verified during a preliminary site visit and updated or replaced if necessary. Bird Surveys: On three separate occasions, 15-minute timed observations of bird species present within visual and auditory detectability will be conducted from each of six stations located within the Panther Creek Wetland. Bird species, number, and , if possible, sex will be recorded. Additional variables recorded will include date, time, weather, and temperature. Scope of Work 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Wildlife Census Page 3 .Reptiles Amphibians and Small Mammals: Pitfall traps used in previous surveys will be used to maximize capture of amphibians and insectivores and will be baited with whole oats and hamburger. Polyfil fiber will be added for bedding material to help prevent trap deaths. Traps will be opened and checked each morning and evening for a period of four days. Species, sex, reproductive condition, and weight will be recorded for each animal captured. Additional variables recorded will include date, weather, time, and location of capture. All captured animals will be marked and released after data have been recorded. Marking animals will distinguish recaptured individuals from newly caught animals during the trapping period. In addition to pitfall trapping, 20 Sherman live traps will be located around the perimeter of the wetland to facilitate capture of rodents. Four "active" searches also will be performed in representative habitats to inventory herptiles and small mammals. Active searches will be conducted around the perimeter of the emergent wetland area and in areas where patches of willow (Salix spp.) and cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) project into monotypic stands of cattail (Typha latifolia) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). Two morning and two night searches will be conducted and will include looking under debris, under stumps, in submerged vegetation near open water, and in other suitable habitat. Night searches will be conducted using spotlights for increased visibility of active amphibians. Additionally, searches for amphibian egg masses will be conducted in areas of open water to assess species and relative abundance of amphibians reproducing in the wetlands. Data recorded will include species, location of observation, time, and date. Indirect methods of inventorying mammal species also will be employed to assess mammal use of the wetland complex. Tracks, burrows, runways, scat, and incidental observations of mammal species will be recorded while inventories of other wildlife species are being conducted. Fish: Areas of open water in the wetland complex will be searched for the presence of fish species by using dip nets, polarized glasses, and flashlights at night. Minnow traps also will be used at points established in the 1991 census. SCHEDULE DATE ACTIVITY March 31, 1993 Submit proposal April 9, 1993 Sign contract April 22, 1993 Preliminary site visit.

The mosquito control area is located along the east side of SR-167 between 1-405 and SW 43rd St. Treatment will only be performed in the mosquito control area on property where treatment has been authorized by the owners. The methods of control will consist of a water treatment with Altosid briquette (Methoprene) and an upland treatment with mosquito adulticide spray called Scourge. The water treatment consists of Altosid briquettes being placed in the isolated open water bodies in the mosquito control area which prevents mosquito larvae from maturing into adult mosquitoes by inhibiting their growth. The upland treatment with Scourge spray will begin in late May and last through the mosquito season. Upland sprayings will be performed on an as-needed basis determined by the program's mosquito trapping and monitoring results. The spraying will be done in the upland areas east of the wetland away from any open water bodies. The Scourge spray is applied by a person with the use of a backpack sprayer and controls adult mosquitoes that have already emerged from the treatment area or other sources. Treatment will be performed in accordance with the conditions of the program's Environmental Determination of Non-Significance (Mitigated) issued for the program for the period of 1989 through 1993. Treatment will be performed by a licensed commercial pesticide applicator and monitored by a professional entomologist. Application of Altosid and Scourge shall comply with the EPA approved label requirements. Altosid treatment shall comply with the Washington State Department of Ecology's Temporary Modification of Water Quality Standards Order (Permit for Application of Pesticides for Mosquito Control). Scourge treatment will comply with the Washington State Department of Agriculture pesticide application requirements. Any questions regarding this program can be directed to Scott Woodbury at (206) 277- 5547 in the Surface Water Utility Section of the City of Renton's Department of Planning/Building/Public Works, 4th floor, Municipal Building, 200 Mill Avenue South, Renton, WA 98055. The program's entomologist and licensed applicator is Terry Whitworth of Whitworth Pest Control, Inc., (206) 248-2222.

We are excited and challenged by the work and by your short time frame for its completion. Our submittal includes the specific items requested in your Request for Proposal(RFP),including brief resumes for key individuals working on the project; selected project experience; our estimated budget based on the City's scope of work and previous census reports; and our proposed schedule. We understand that completion of the field work by May 1 is absolutely mandatory. Supplemental information is provided separately, including full resumes, samples of typical data sheets used for censuring wildlife, and a certificate of insurance meeting the City's requirements. Several important points are reflected in our schedule and budget. As we discussed, the difference in times between this census year(in early spring) and previous censuses(in early to mid summer)will require particular attention during the data analysis. Because nights are still cool in April, amphibians will be less active and reduced population numbers may be indicated. In addition, April is early for many of the bird species typical to this area. Our report will include an analysis of factors potentially affecting any differences in species composition or numbers of observed individuals. Because of the influence of seasonal weather patterns,we will push our field effort to the last two weeks of the month. We feel that this will provide the highest possible degree of comparability between this census year and previous studies. The last two weeks of April are also the most desirable for the fish surveys,since it is important to confirm the clearance of salmonids out of the wetland prior to chemical treatment. Typically, most salmonids would have exited the wetland by late April. We will utilize the methodologies employed in previous years, with the exception of the identified method for reptile and amphibian sampling. We believe that Sherman live traps are not an appropriate method for sampling amphibians and reptiles. Our review of the Jones and Stokes report leads us to believe that their recommendation for Sherman live traps only applied to small mammals. We propose to use pit fall traps made from five-gallon buckets, similar to the Jones and Stokes study. Our experience is that this method provides the best information on a maximum number of species and population numbers. However,we will use Sherman live traps for the small mammal surveys as outlined in the scope of work. I hope the information we have included answers your questions. Please call if you need additional information. We look forward to hearing from you and are excited about conducting the 1993 census.

SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE Roadside Vegetation Management Natural Resource Reports Parametrix was part of a consultant team that prepared chapters for a programmatic EIS evaluating alternative methods of roadside vegetation management in each of the eight physiographic provinces of Washington State. Our natural resource scientists assessed impacts of alternative chemical and nonchemical control methods on plant communities, wildlife habitats, threatened and endangered species, and surface water/groundwater quality. North Creek Regional Storm Water Detention Facility Parametric biologists are assisting Snohomish County staff in the evaluation of environmental impacts of a regional storm water detention facility on wetlands, fish and wildlife. We have conducted wetland delineations,wildlife surveys,and fisheries evaluations. We are also examining how the proposed hydrologic changes will alter wetland function and change wildlife habitat. A conceptual mitigation plan will be designed to mitigate any adverse impacts to wetland functions. Biological Inventory for Proposed Parallel Pipelines Parametrix was selected to conduct a biological inventory and assess impacts of a proposed storm drain system and parallel water supply pipeline. The planned construction passed through sensitive urban wildlife habitats including a creek, freshwater wetlands, and associated riparian communities. Parametrix surveyed and mapped fish and wildlife habitats,censused breeding songbirds and waterfowl,and analyzed impacts on riparian habitats and species. We recommended mitigation measures to reduce impacts and improve habitat quality, and made presentations to the public and a technical review committee. Cross Base Highway Environmental Studies and Documentation Parametrix conducted environmental studies along the proposed Cross Base Highway Corridor that runs between the Fort Lewis and McChord military bases and would connect 1-5 to the Spanaway area. A series of discipline reports were prepared, as well as a map of environmental constraints, so that a highway alignment avoiding major sensitive areas could be selected. Studies were conducted in the following areas: natural resources,land use, socioeconomics,visual quality,and cultural and historic resources. The natural resources report included wetlands, groundwater, surface water quality, wildlife habitat, and fisheries. Sockeye Salmon Spawning Project Terrestrial Habitat Evaluation Parametrix evaluated existing wildlife habitat values and assessed project impacts on a 70-acre riparian forest community adjacent to the Cedar River. The purpose of the study was to determine impacts of constructing and operating a sockeye salmon production facility needed to replace natural spawning habitat removed by municipal water diversion. Quantitative data on vegetative structure/composition and breeding bird use were collected and utilized to determine habitat suitability and predict project effects. The basis of the analysis was the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP). Environmental Impact Statement for Water Supply Pipeline Parametrix prepared an EIS on the construction impacts and environmental permits for the City of Tacoma's Pipeline No. 5 project. The EIS addressed existing conditions, impacts, and mitigation for fisheries and wildlife along the 33-mile pipeline route,including 17 stream and river crossing and two wetland crossings. Work included documentation of fish species use; mapping of stream and wetland crossings; identification of endangered, threatened, and sensitive plants and animals; recommendations for route changes; and development of a revegetation plan for environmentally-sensitive areas. Permit applications were prepared for Shoreline Management Substantial Development actions,U.S.COE Section 10 and 404 compliance,and Washington State Hydraulics Project Approval. This project was developed to meet a strict completion date. Bald Eagle and Peregrine Falcon Biological Assessment for Everett Homeport Parametrix was selected by the U.S. Navy in 1989 to prepare a biological assessment on bald eagles and peregrine falcons in the area of the proposed Everett homeport. Our staff performed field evaluations to document habitat characteristics and potential use of the area by eagles and falcons. The assessment described current use of the area by nesting,migration,and wintering bald eagles and peregrine falcons,and evaluated the effects of project construction and operation on both species. Potential impacts on food supplies and foraging areas were specifically addressed, including the effects of accidental oil spills and dredging activity. Possible effects of noise and other disturbances were also discussed.

Her graduate studies focused on natural resource regulatory policy, wetland mitigation banking, and herpetology and physiological ecology. She has conducted numerous wildlife inventories for preparation of EISs and as a consultant to a non-profit organization in Oregon. Her graduate research in herpetolgoy focused on feeding ecology and temporal resource partitioning in a population of Western fence lizards. She was a teaching assistant at Oregon State and Western Washington Universities for undergraduate-level mammalogy and herpetology field biology courses. As head of the Wetlands Group at Parametrix, she manages project staff and coordinates with other discipline groups on complex, multidisciplinary projects. Ms. Ford is responsible for designing and implementing data collection and analysis for the firm's wetlands and natural resource policy-related work, as well as coordinating with federal, state, and local resource agencies, and providing expert testimony on wetland issues. Project Experience Vegetation Management Manual—Seattle City Light Ms. Ford assisted with development of a vegetation management manual for transmis- sion line rights-of-way, including protocols for herbicide use and feasibility of developing wetlands for vegetation control. Villages at North Bend EIS—Wetland Reconnaissance Ms. Ford conducted a sensitive areas reconnaissance of a 970-acre site near the City of North Bend proposed for development of 3,000 residential units and a golf course. She identified wetlands using black and white aerial photos, delineated wetland boundaries and stream corridors, and evaluated wetland functional values. As part of the recon- naissance, she coordinated with fisheries biologists to assess site development impacts in on-site streams and the Snoqualmie River. City of Mukilteo On-Call Wetland Services Ms. Ford served as Project Manager for review of wetlands, wildlife and stream corridor impacts associated with public and private development proposals with the City. Mukilteo recently annexed a large residential/commercial planned community (Harbour Pointe); Ms. Ford assisted the City to develop guidelines for project review. She Kittie Ellen Ford identified wetlands, analyzed functional values, and recommended mitigation conditions for permit approvals. Pierce County Wetland Mitigation Standards Ms. Ford prepared a research analysis and draft ordinance for Pierce County to imple- ment wetland mitigation standards. Project tasks included a comparison of the wetlands mitigation programs and standards of jurisdictions across the United States; drafting of a comprehensive program for wetland regulation and mitigation; research of potential incentive programs, including transfer of development rights, and drafting of an on-site density transfer program; and conducting a workshop and field training session for Pierce County planners on wetland identification. Soos Creek, Northshore and Snoqualmie Community Plan Update EISs As part of the King County land use planning process, Ms. Ford co-managed preparation of programmatic EISs for updates of the Soos Creek, Northshore and Snoqualmie community planning areas. The three planning areas encompass approximately 500 square miles, including large forested tracts managed for timber production by the National Forest Service and Washington Department of Natural Resources. The community plan updates identify land use policies to guide future development for a period of 10 years. The environmental analyses focused on a full range of natural and built environment issues, including compatibility of urban/suburban land uses adjacent to resource lands and the long-term impacts of resource land management strategies on environmental quality. Some specific issues addressed included water quality and runoff quantity, flooding potential, erosion and sedimentation, and wildlife habitat. Colville Municipal Airport Ms. Ford is managing preparation of special studies to support a Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit application for the proposed Colville Municipal Airport. Parametrix is conducting a detailed wetland study of "farmed" and "prior converted" wetlands in eastern Washington. Ms. Ford has coordinated extensively with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District to negotiate acceptance of the delineation methodology and mitigation requirements for waterfowl using the airport site. Parametrix collected field data to substantiate the northeastern Washington growing season based on soil temperature, a methodology identified in the Federal manual but not commonly applied. As a result, the Corps concurred on an approximately 10-acre reduction in jurisdictional wetland on the project site. Ms. Ford is working with Jim Kelley and Federal agency staff to finalize a detailed mitigation and monitoring plan for the project. She is also working with the City of Colville attorney on acquisition of a 120-acre mitigation site for creation of the migratory waterfowl habitat mitigation program. An Individual Permit decision is forthcoming in Spring 1993 for fill of approximately 10 acres of "farmed" wetland. City of Camas Planning Study Ms. Ford participated in a planning study of a 1,500-acre area recently annexed by the City of Camas. Her responsibilities included preparing a physical inventory of the area including wetlands, plants and animals, soils, and topography; identifying and assessing planning and regulatory alternatives for the site (consistent with HB 2929); and drafting appropriate regulations, including an impact fee program. Kittie Ellen Ford City of Camas Wetland Mitigation Bank Ms. Ford is currently assisting the city of Camas to obtain state and federal funding for development of a comprehensive wetland and stormwater management plan. The planning area encompasses approximately 1,500 acres of undeveloped light industrial land in the Lacamas Lake watershed. Significant concerns for water quality, and the City's desire to maintain the open space character of the area and enhance wetland values, will be addressed as the comprehensive mitigation program is developed. Ms. Ford conducted a preliminary inventory of wetlands and wildlife habitat in the area. As part of the first phase, a conceptual mitigation strategy will be presented to state and federal agencies for discussion. Subsequent phases include detailed mitigation design, negotiating permit conditions with reviewing agencies, and mitigation construction. PSWQA Wetlands Protection Guidebook This is one of approximately 30 projects selected statewide by the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority for funding in Round 4 of the Public Involvement and Education (PIE) program. Ms. Ford is working with state and federal agencies to develop a guidebook, slide show, and series of workshops on non-regulatory mechanisms for protecting wetlands and administrative approaches to mitigation planning. The guidebook will review transfer of development rights, on-site density transfers, purchase of development rights and mitigation banking, and will provide model agreements for the establishment of these programs. Kirk A. Lakey Bachelor of Science, Range Management/Wildlife Habitat Management Kirk Lakey is an ecologist at Parametrix. His responsibilities include conducting soils delineations, wetland inventories and delineations, wildlife habitat studies, and preparing reports pertaining to permits, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and environmen- tal impact statements (EISs). He has four years of professional experience as a range and soil conservationist with the federal government where he prepared farm and resource management plans in a Federal Watershed Project for compliance with the Federal Food Security Act of 1985. He also conducted wetland determinations and delineations for an inventory of wetlands in Whitman County. Mr. Lakey also has additional experience in color infrared and true color photo analysis from employment with the Soil Conservation Service. Mr. Lakey has successfully completed two wetland inventories that were funded by the Washington Department of Ecology Coastal Zone Management (CZM) program. These inventories included extensive aerial photo interpretations and 100 percent field checking of potential wetland sites. Wetlands were classified and mapped on photo overlays for transfer to final map products. Project Experience Tansy Ragwort Biological Control Study Assisting in a long-term study assessing the feasibility of using insects to control tansy ragwort (a noxious weed) in Seattle's Skagit transmission right-of-way.

As you are aware,Jones & Stokes Associates has extensive knowledge of the Panther Creek Wetland and the monitoring requirements for the mosquito abatement program. Our staff members assigned to this project conducted last year's survey and know the locations of all traps and observation points. In addition,Jones &Stokes Associates has been involved with the East Side Green River Watershed Plan,adding to our knowledge base. We are prepared to begin work immediately on the wildlife census and can easily meet the May 1, 1993, deadline for completion of the fieldwork. We have all field equipment, past census data, and background information necessary to perform the Scope of Work. In addition to the information requested in your Request for Proposals(RFP),we have enclosed a Scope of Work that could serve as an attachment to the contract for services in the event Jones & Stokes Associates is awarded the contract. The Scope of Work includes a modification to Census Task 3 of the Project Description/Scope of Work provided in the RFP. That task requires the use of Sherman live traps to census reptiles and amphibians. Sherman live traps are not designed to trap reptiles or amphibians. In our 1992 report, we recommended that pitfall traps be dropped as a census technique for small mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. We recommended the continued use of Sherman live traps for small mammal censusing, but that amphibians and reptiles should instead be censused by observation, minnow trapping, and dipnetting. Jones& Stokes Associates proposes to conduct the census and prepare a report for an amount not to exceed $6,676 without prior approval from the City of Renton. P58/PB93021 03/31/93e Mr. Ronald Straka March 31, 1993 Page 2 We look forward to continuing our service for the city.

Scope of Work 1993 WILDLIFE CENSUS CITY OF RENTON PANTHER CREEK WETLAND MOSQUITO ABATEMENT PROGRAM Introduction The City of Renton has requested a proposal to conduct 1993 wildlife and fish surveys as part of the city's mosquito abatement program in the Panther Creek Wetland located east of State Route 167. This Scope of Work has been prepared to provide a description of the tasks outlined in the proposal schedule and budget. The study tasks for this Scope of Work are as defined in the city's March 25, 1993,Request for Proposals(RFP). The study approach and methods presented herein are as previously established by Beak Consultants Incorporated(Beak)for the 1990 and 1991 surveys,with slight modifications per the recommendations of Jones & Stokes Associates in the 1992 report. Wildlife surveys were previously conducted during 1989 by The Coot Company and Shapiro and Associates, Inc.; during 1990 and 1991 by Beak; and in 1992 by Jones & Stokes Associates. Jones&Stokes Associates will be responsible for acquiring the Scientific Permit and will coordinate with the city for right-of-entry to private property. Study Tasks Task 1 - Establish Observation Stations and Trap Locations Jones & Stokes Associates will conduct an initial visit to the study area to establish trap locations and bird observation stations. To facilitate comparison with previous data, the locations (by habitat type) and numbers of wildlife sampling stations will duplicate the methods previously used by Beak and Jones & Stokes Associates during the 1990, 1991, and 1992 surveys. Minnow trap sites will include those used during the 1990 through 1992 surveys; however, additional sites on the west side of the wetland and in Panther Creek will be trapped to better assess the entire wetland. Task 2 - Conduct Bird Surveys Jones & Stokes Associates biologists will conduct three site visits to six observation stations located in habitats previously defined in the 1990, 1991, and 1992 reports. Task 3 - Conduct Herptile Surveys Herptile surveys using minnow traps will be conducted for four nights. In addition, four 4-hour active searches will be conducted using dipnets and by turning over small logs and other debris. The minnow traps will be checked during the early morning. P58/PB93-021 03/31/93e 1 Task 4 - Conduct Fish Surveys The survey team will search for fish in open water portions of the wetland and at Panther Creek immediately south of Panther Creek Wetland. Sampling methods will include minnow trapping, dipnetting, electroshocking,and visual assessment using polarized glasses. A night survey will be performed with flashlights. Trap placement will include locations along the east side of the wetland used during the 1990 through 1992 study, as well as additional sites along the west side of the wetland and in Panther Creek. Task 5 - Conduct Mammal Surveys Mammal surveys will be conducted using a series of 30 Sherman live traps positioned in arrays located at previously established pitfall trap sites. Task 6 - Submit Report Jones & Stokes Associates will prepare and submit a report describing the study area, methodology, results, and conclusions. The report will compare the results of the previous wildlife surveys conducted by The Coot Company and Shapiro and Associates, Inc. (1989), Beak (1990 and 1991),and Jones & Stokes Associates (1992).

Sincerely, SHAPIRO AND ASSOCIATES, INC. Mark Rector Wildlife Ecologist enclosure PROPOSAL FOR WILDLIFE SURVEYS AT THE PANTHER CREEK WETLAND COMPLEX Prepared for: The City of Renton Public Works Department 200 Mill Avenue South Renton,WA 98055 Prepared by: Shapiro and Associates, Inc. 1201 Third Avenue, Suite 1700 Seattle, WA 98101 March 31, 1993 I. INTRODUCTION The 1993 wildlife census for the Panther Creek Wetlands Mosquito Abatement Program will be conducted following methods established in 1990. This will ensure that the best possible means for comparing previous surveys and the upcoming 1993 census will be used to assess effects of the Mosquito Abatement Program on wildlife within the Panther Creek Wetlands. II. OBJECTIVES Objectives of the wildlife census and inventory are the following: 1. Describe the reptile, amphibian, mammal, bird, and fish species using the Panther Creek wetland complex prior to the 1993 application of insecticides. 2. Compare 1993 survey results with data obtained in 1989 by the Coot Company and Shapiro and Associates Inc., and in 1990 and 1991 by Beak Consultants Inc., and in 1992 by Jones and Stokes, Inc. to determine effects (if any) of the Mosquito Abatement Program on wildlife populations using the Panther Creek Wetlands. III. SCOPE OF WORK Tasks to be performed are listed as items 1 through 6 in the City of Renton Project Description and Scope of Work (see attached). IV. METHODS A wildlife collection permit will be obtained in order to commence trapping procedures designed to assess small mammal and amphibian species at the wetland. These permits generally require up to 30 days to process and are required by the Washington Department of Wildlife (WDW). Shapiro will initiate the permit process and submit an application for wildlife collections to WDW. Surveys for birds and fish will not be affected by permit requirements and will be conducted using standard field methodologies described below. Trap locations and survey points established in 1990 by Beak Consultants, Inc. will be verified during a preliminary site visit and updated or replaced if necessary. Shapiro and Associates, Inc. 1 March 31, 1993 Bird Survey On three separate occasions, 15-minute timed observations of bird species present within visual and auditory detectability will be conducted from each of six stations located within the Panther Creek Wetland. Bird species, number, and, if possible, sex will be recorded. Additional variables recorded will include date, time, weather, and temperature. .Reptiles. Amphibians, and Small Mammals Pitfall traps used in previous surveys will be used to maximize capture of amphibians and insectivores and will be baited with whole oats and hamburger. Polyfil fiber will be added for bedding material to help prevent trap deaths. Traps will be opened and checked each morning and evening for a period of four days. Species, sex, reproductive condition, and weight will be recorded for each animal captured. Additional variables recorded will include date, weather, time, and location of capture. All captured animals will be marked and released after data have been recorded. Marking animals will distinguish recaptured individuals from newly caught animals during the trapping period. In addition to pitfall trapping, 20 Sherman live traps will be located around the perimeter of the wetland to facilitate capture of rodents. Four "active" searches also will be performed in representative habitats to inventory herptiles and small mammals. Active searches will be conducted around the perimeter of the emergent wetland area and in areas where patches of willow (Salix spp.) and cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) project into monotypic stands of cattail (Typha latifolia) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). Two morning and two night searches will be conducted and will include looking under debris, under stumps, in submerged vegetation near open water, and in other suitable habitat. Night searches will be conducted using spotlights for increased visibility of active amphibians. Additionally, searches for amphibian egg masses will be conducted in areas of open water to assess species and relative abundance of amphibians reproducing in the wetlands. Data recorded will include species, location of observation, time, and date. Indirect methods of inventorying mammal species also will be employed to assess mammal use of the wetland complex. Tracks, burrows, runways, scat, and incidental observations of mammal species will be recorded while inventories of other wildlife species are being conducted. Shapiro and Associates, Inc. 2 March 31, 1993 Fish Areas of open water in the wetland complex will be searched for the presence of fish species by using dip nets, polarized glasses, and flashlights at night. Minnow traps also will be used at points established in the 1991 census. Because only four three-spine sticklebacks were captured by electroshocking in the 1992 census, we feel that this technique is not necessary for this year's census. V. DATA ANALYSIS AND REPORTING Upon completion of field work, the City of Renton will be provided with a final report including the following: • Census methodology. • List of all species observed and their relative abundance per unit effort. • Map of survey area with locations of traps, observation points, and important observations. • Census findings and conclusions, with comparison of results of 1993 census and all previous studies to determine what, if any, impact the treatment has on the existing fauna. • Tabular comparison of all previous surveys.

Renton, WA 98055 Dear Mr. Straka: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again this year for allowing us the chance to review your mosquito abatement program for 1993. The selectivity and relative non-toxicity of the two compounds selected for your abatement program assure us that there will be no problems in proceeding with your program as planned. We will, of course, request that the scourge spray be applied only during windless conditions in the upland sections so as to minimize drift and the possibility of water contamination. Again, we foresee no problems with this program provided the proper precautions are taken. We look forward to working with you in the future. Should you have questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 296-4666. Sincerely, Gary D. Irvine, R.S.

BACKGROUND: The City of Renton Surface Water Utility has conducted a Mosquito Abatement Program for the Panther Creek Wetland since 1990. The program resulted from numerous citizen complaints received from residents living adjacent to the Panther Creek Wetland. A Determination of Non-Significance Mitigated was issued for a five- year Mosquito Abatement Program (1989-1993) by the City of Renton and upheld the Hearing Examiner following an appeal of the Determination. The purpose of the program is to control the mosquito populations that originate from the Panther Creek Wetland and are a nuisance to the residents living in the vicinity. The program consists of two types of mosquito control treatment methods and a mosquito monitoring program. The control methods consist of water treatment with a biological insecticide called Altosid (methoprene) for the control of mosquito larva and land treatment of brush in the upland areas with an insecticide spray called Scourge for the control of adult mosquitoes. The project Environmental Determination requires that treatment services be performed by a licensed entomologist/pest control agent. On May 21, 1992 Contract CAG-92- 046 was executed with Whitworth Pest Control, Inc. to provide entomologist/pest •' Bob Edwards 03/29/93 Panther Creek Wetland (CAG-92-046) Page 2 control agent services for the 1992 and 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program. The original contract scope included only the 1992 program with the approved budgeted contract amount of $18,000, which was paid to the consultant for services performed in 1992. The approved 1992-1993 contract termination date is December 31, 1993. The Addendum to the original contract to increase the scope and budget will allow for the implementation of the 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program as allowed under Section Vill - Extra Work of the contract. The expenditure required for the 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program entomologist/pest control service is $21,308. The $3,308 cost increase above the 1992 program budget is due to increased material cost and the addition of sales tax that the out-of-state suppliers had not charged in previous purchases. Some increase in cost is also due to the expansion of treatment into the north end of the Panther Creek Wetland to provide better mosquito control. The combined contract total for the 1992 and 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program costs for entomologist/pest control services is $39,308. The 1993 approved Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement project budget for the 1993 Mosquito Abatement Project is $40,817.55 which includes $12,217.55 carried over from 1992. The remaining 1993 budget for the project will be used to fund the required 1993 Wildlife Census and Project Management costs. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the CAG-92-046 Addendum No. 1 for the 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Entomologist/Pest Control consultant services.

The Hearing Examiner conditions (File No. AAD-035- 89) for the program requires that a wildlife census be conducted prior to treatment of the wetland each year. A wildlife census of birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals shall be performed prior to treatment of the wetland. The census shall be conducted in a formal, professional manner and shall include the normal methodologies utilized to conduct field observations of species in their native environment. The observations shall also include those wildlife species which reside in the wetland and those which utilize it as a source of food. The wildlife census shall be completed before May 1, 1993. The 1993 wildlife census shall be conducted in a fashion similar to previous annual wildlife census methodologies to allow comparison with the previous reports. Copies of previous wildlife census reports for the program will be provided by the City. The wildlife census tasks to be performed are summarized below: 1) Preliminary site visit to establish observation stations and trap locations. 2) Bird surveys: Three (3) site visits at each of a total of six (6) observation stations. 3) Reptile and amphibian surveys: Four (4) Sherman live trap nights per a minimum of twenty (20) traps for a total of 80 trap nights. Four (4) "active" searches at four (4) hours each. Sherman live traps will also remain open during the day and checked at night. 4) Fish surveys: Active searches for fish species with the use of polarized sun glasses, dip nets, minnow traps, electroshocking, and flashlights at night. The survey is to be conducted in three separate sections of the wetland with a minimum of one day per section. 5) Mammal surveys: Four (4) Sherman live trap nights per a minimum of twenty (20) traps for a total of eighty (80) trap nights. Scope of Work 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Wildlife Census Page 2 Traps will also remain open during the day and checked at night. 6) Preparation of a report which describes the wildlife census study area, methodology, census findings and conclusions. The report must also provide comparison of the results of the 1993 wildlife census with the findings of the previous wildlife census reports to determine what, if any, impact the treatment has on the existing fauna. All necessary permits required to conduct the census shall be the responsibility of the selected consultant. A Washington State Department of Wildlife trapping permit will be required prior to the trapping of any animals. Coordination with the City will be required for right-of-entry on private properties.

The 1993 wildlife census shall be conducted in a fashion similar to previous annual wildlife census methodologies to allow comparison with the previous reports. Copies of previous wildlife census reports for the program will be provided by the City. The wildlife census tasks to be performed are summarized below: 1) Preliminary site visit to establish observation stations and trap locations. 2) Bird surveys: Three (3) site visits at each of a total of six (6) observation stations. 3) Reptile and amphibian surveys: Four (4) Sherman live trap nights per a minimum of twenty (20) traps for a total of 80 trap nights. Four (4) "active" searches at four (4) hours each. Sherman live traps will also remain open during the day and checked at night. 4) Fish surveys: Active searches for fish species with the use of polarized sun glasses, dip nets, minnow traps, electroshoc king, and flashlights at night. The survey is to be conducted in three separate sections of the wetland with a minimum of one day per section. 5) Mammal surveys: Four (4) Sherman live trap nights per a minimum of twenty (20) traps for a total of eighty (80) trap nights. Scope of Work 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Wildlife Census Page 2 Traps will also remain open during the day and checked at night. 6) Preparation of a report which describes the wildlife census study area, methodology, census findings and conclusions. The report must also provide comparison of the results of the 1993 wildlife census with the findings of the previous wildlife census reports to determine what, if any, impact the treatment has on the existing fauna. All necessary permits required to conduct the census shall be the responsibility of the selected consultant. A Washington State Department of Wildlife trapping permit will be required prior to the trapping of any animals. Coordination with the City will be required for right-of-entry on private properties.

The area to be treated is the wetlands located just east of SR- 167 between 1-405 and SW 43rd Street (see enclosed maps). To allow access for treatment, we are requesting you to sign the enclosed Authorization and Release form. This will allow the program entomologist to access the wetland area through your property and apply treatment if required. Prior to treatment the entomologist will monitor the area and be collecting mosquito samples from light traps to determine the need for treatment. The monitoring will allow the entomologist to determine the approximate time to apply treatment if it is needed. Additional mosquito trapping sites may be needed closer to the treatment area. If your property is selected for a mosquito trapping site, the entomologist will contact you for permission. This will allow us to collect more accurate mosquito trapping results which will better enable the program entomologist to determine the need for treatment. The program entomologist has been working with this problem for several years and has determined the principal mosquito species causing the concern is the Coquillettida Preturbans. The research has shown that this area is the primary source of the mosquito problem in the residential properties located east of the site. This years treatment will be the same as last years which consisted of the application of Altosid (methoprene), a briquet placed in the water which releases a biological hormone and prevents the emergence of adult mosquitos. The Altosid regulates the mosquito larva growth which results in the larvae not maturing into adult mosquitos. We plan to use ;-n adulticide chemica! spray caller? Scourge (SBP 1382), k':hich was applied to the brush upland areas to contra! adult mosquitos. This will help control adult mosquitos which were not controlled by the Altosid treatment or which originate for other mosquito breeding sources. The Altosid treatment is the most effective if applied when the majority of the mosquitos are in the larval stage. Prior to treatment, we will comply with all conditions specified in the City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program Declaration of Non-significance mitigated as confirmed by the Renton Hearing Examiner (copies of which are available upon request). In that regard, we are working with the Department of Ecology (DOE) as part of the programs temporary water quality modification permit requirement. Treatment will be performed after the necessary permits have been obtained. All treatment will be monitored by the professional entomologist specializing in pest control to assure conformance to the chemical producer's requirements, the DOE regulations, and other governmental laws. 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 THIS PAPER CONTAINS 50%RECYCLED MATERIAL,10%POST CONSUMER 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Authorization and Release Request Page 2 We request that the Authorization and Release forms be returned to the attention cf Scott Woodbury, 4th floor by April 16, 1993.

The primary species of mosquito targeted for the temporary water treatment is the coquilletidia species. The methoprene briquet will be applied to the isolated pockets of water in the Panther Creek Wetland. The methoprene agent (Altosid) is a growth regulator which prevents mosquito larva from developing into mature adult mosquitos. The Altosid briquets can release a growth regulator for a period of up to 30 days. The United States Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers methoprene technically to be a biological chemical. The treatment will be done by a licensed pest control agent/entomologist in accordance with the EPA approved manufacturers label application instructions as specified in an application plan prepared by the project entomologist and in accordance with the Washington State Department of Ecology Mosquito Abatement Temporary Water Quality Modification permit requirements. The rate and frequency of application specified in this plan will not exceed the manufacturer's recommendations nor the limits of rate of application set by regulatory agencies of this State or the Federal government. The application of insecticide will be personally supervised by a licensed entomologist in accordance with the adopted application plan. A trapping study will be conducted to monitor the efficiency of the mosquito abatement program. A report of all monitoring results will be prepared by the licensed entomologist. If the application of insecticide fails to abate the mosquito or results in a faunal kill treatment will cease and the Department of Ecology will be notified. No insecticide shall be stored on the site. The 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program will comply with all conditions specified in the City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program Declaration of Non-Significance mitigated as confirmed by the Renton Hearing Examiner dated May 31, 1989 (see enclosed City of Renton DNS-M dated 2/27/89 and the Renton Hearing Examiner report dated 5/31/89). These conditions include public notification, invitation of comments from other agencies, reconfirmation of the selected insecticide, and a wildlife census of the treatment area. 2) NATURE OF EXPECTED WATER QUALITY PROBLEMS: The temporary modification of water quality with the application of Altosid (methoprene) briquets which can last for up to 30 days under typical environmental conditions. The application of methoprene will be performed on the Panther Creek Wetland water body which is not hydrologically connected to other water bodies during the dry season. There are no regulated fisheries resource contained in the water bodies. This is due primarily to the wetland periodically drying up during warm summers. According to a comparison of annual wildlife census reports for 1990 through 1992, no environmental impacts attributable to treatment of the wetland could be identified. The wildlife census is a condition of the Hearing Examiner's decision ordered May 31, 1989. 3) SCHEDULE AND DURATION OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES: The application of the insecticide is most effective if done during the pre-pupal mosquito stage, since the briquets release a growth regulator which prevents the larva from maturing into adult mosquitoes. The application of Altosid is scheduled for May 1, 1993, but the ideal application time will be determined by the entomologist as part of the programs monitoring requirements. The Altosid briquet to be used this year is designed to last up to 30 days under typical environmental conditions. The 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program will be competed September 1, 1993. 4) PROPOSED ACTIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION TO REDUCE SEVERITY OR DURATION OF WATER QUALITY IMPACTS: The application of Altosid will be done in accordance with the EPA approved manufactures label application instructions and the application plan developed by a licensed entomologist. Mosquito trapping monitoring study will be conducted to monitor the efficiency of the Mosquito Abatement Program. The treatment area will be posted, public notices will be published in a local newspaper and surrounding property owners will be notified prior to treatment. The treatment area will be monitored by an entomologist and a monitoring report will be prepared summarizing the results of the 1993 program. All conditions specified in the City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program DNS-M will be satisfied.

The area to be treated is the wetlands located just east of SR- 167 between 1-405 and SW 43rd Street (see enclosed maps). To allow access for treatment, we are requesting you to sign the enclosed Authorization and Release form. This will allow the program entomologist to access the wetland area through your property and apply treatment if required. Prior to treatment the entomologist will monitor the area and be collecting mosquito samples from light traps to determine the need for treatment. The monitoring will allow the entomologist to determine the approximate time to apply treatment if it is needed. Additional mosquito trapping sites may be needed closer to the treatment area. If your property is selected for a mosquito trapping site, the entomologist will contact you for permission. This will allow us to collect more accurate mosquito trapping results which will better enable the program entomologist to determine the need for treatment. The program entomologist has been working with this problem for several years and has determined the principal mosquito species causing the concern is the Coquillettida Preturbans. The research has shown that this area is the primary source of the mosquito problem in the residential properties located east of the site. This years treatment will be the same as last years which consisted of the application of Altosid (methoprene), a briquet placed in the water which releases a biological hormone and prevents the emergence of adult mosquitos. The Altosid regulates the mosquito larva growth which results in the larvae not maturing into adult mosquitos. We plan to use an adulticide chemical spray called Scourge (SBP 1382), which was applied to the brush upland areas to control adult mosquitos. This will help control adult mosquitos which were not controlled by the Altosid treatment or which originate for other mosquito breeding sources. The Altosid treatment is the most effective if applied when the majority of the mosquitos are in the larval stage. Prior to treatment, we will comply with all conditions specified in the City of Renton Mosquito Abatement Program Declaration of Non-significance mitigated as confirmed by the Renton Hearing Examiner (copies of which are available upon request). In that regard, we are working with the Department of Ecology (DOE) as part of the programs temporary water quality modification permit requirement. Treatment will be performed after the necessary permits have been obtained. All treatment will be monitored by the professional entomologist specializing in pest control to assure conformance to the chemical producer's requirements, the DOE regulations, and other governmental laws. 1993 Mosquito Abatement Program Authorization and Release Request Page 2 We request that the Authorization and Release forms be returned to the attention of Scott Woodbury, 4th floor by April 16, 1993.
