ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 411 108th AVENUE NE, SUITE 1800 BELLEVUE, WA 98004-SS71 T. 42S.458.6200 F. 425.458.6363 WWW.p2rametrix.com TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM ' Date: July 20, 2011 To: Steve Lee, City of Renton ' From: Matthew Maynard, Colin Worsley, PWS Subject: Wetland Impacts cc: Jenna Friebel, Parametrix Project Number: 558-1779-038 Project Name: Elliot Spawning Channel Reconstruction PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide impacts to wetlands and their buffers caused by the Elliot Spawning Channel Reconstruction Project to satisfy the modified requirements of the Waiver of Submittal Requirements for Land Use Applications (dated May 13, 2011). ' PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a spawning channel maintenance project. The channel was originally built in 2001 as part of a mitigation project to offset the loss of sockeye salmon spawning habitat as a result of over -dredging in the lower river. The overdredging resulted during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's (Corps) dredging of the lower 1.25 miles of the Cedar River as part of the lower Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard ' Reduction Project. The channel successfully provided additional habitat for various life history stages of salmonids present in the Cedar River until the 2009 flood event when the Cedar River overtopped its banks and scoured and deposited silt and woody debris in the upper 900 feet of the spawning channel. Woody debris, erosion control structures, and habitat plantings were either washed away or damaged ' during these flood events. In addition, spawning gravels were displaced and silt was deposited on the channel bottom. The original design also included a permeable segment of levee. This segment of levee was also damaged in the floods and the hydrologic connection to the Cedar River was altered due to ' sediment deposition on the waterside of the levee. The project will include removing silt, restoring spawning gravel with smooth river rock along the channel bottom, and replacing large woody debris. In addition, any riparian areas disturbed during the work will be restored with topsoil refinishing, reseeding, mulching, and replanting native plants on the channel banks. Until riparian planting matures, erosion control measures are required. Materials such as straw bales, filter fabric, and sand bags will be incorporated. The City of Renton has received funding approval from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reconstruct, restore, and rehabilitate the spawning habitat within the ' channel to pre -flood conditions with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurrence already. 1 1 1 1 1 t 1 1 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM (CONTINUED) METHODS Parametrix biologists conducted a site visit on April 13, 2011 to delineate wetlands within the project area. The project area is located north of Ron Regis Park and the Maplewood Golf Course (Attachment A). Biologists delineated an on-site wetland using methods specified in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0) (Corps 2010). These methods comply with current state requirements (WAC 173-22-035). Sample plots were investigated in areas that potentially met wetland criteria throughout the site and data were documented on wetland determination data forms (Attachment B). The delineated wetland was classified according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et at. 1979) and A Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Classification for Wetlands (Brinson 1993). The wetland was rated according to City of Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-3-050 M.1 and the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington — Revised (Hruby 2004) (Attachment Q. The buffer width assigned to the wetland in the project area reflect requirements of the City of Renton (RMC 4-3-050 M.6). Photographs of the wetland are included in Attachment D. WETLANDS Parametrix identified and delineated one wetland (Wetland 1) in the project area (Attachment A). The wetland boundary and sample plots were marked in the field with flags and instrument -surveyed with a handheld GPS unit (Trimble(I GeoXHTM). Wetland 1 is approximately 0.03 acre (1,508 square feet), located north of the Maplewood Golf Course and southwest of the Elliot Spawning Channel, near the west end of the channel. This wetland is in a depression in the floodplain of the Cedar River, frequently flooded by the ' Elliot Spawning Channel and Cedar River. No inlet or outlet is present, except during flood events. Standing water was observed over approximately 75 percent of the wetland during the field investigation with depths up to 12 inches. Wetland 1 has seasonally inundated water regime. Wetland I has a shrub community dominated by Pacific willow (Salix lucida) and an understory dominated by reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). Other species observed include red alder saplings (Alnus rubra), red -osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), creeping buttercup ' (Ranunculus repens), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), and bitter dock (Rumex oblusifolius). Soils examined in Wetland 1 consisted of a dark grayish brown (10YR 412) fine sandy loam with dark yellowish brown (IOYR 416) redoximorphic concentrations over a dark gray (5Y 411) sand with dark yellowish brown (10YR 416) redoximorphic concentrations. Inclusions of a dark grayish brown (1 OYR 4/2) silt loam with dark brown (7.5YR 314) redoximorphic concentrations were also present in the ' lower layer. The wetland and contiguous riparian buffer associated with Wetland 1 is vegetated primarily with deciduous trees, shrubs, and invasive weeds. Dominant species include black cottonwood ' (Populus balsamifera), red alder (Alnus rubra), salmonberry (Rubus speclabilis), Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), willows (Salix spp.) common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), and Himalayan blackberry ' (Rubus armeniacus). The greater riparian corridor is also used for passive recreation. The surrounding environment includes a city park, regional trail, and golf course. City of Renton Welland Impacts 558-1779-038 July 20, 2011 1 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM (CONTINUED) ' Wetland I is classified as a palustrine scrub -shrub (PSS) wetland under the USFWS (Cowardin et al. 1979) system and a riverine wetland under the HGM system (Brinson 1993; Hruby 2004). Wetland 1 is rated a Category 2 according to the City of Renton and a Category III according to Ecology. The wetland scored 41 points on the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington rating form (Attachment Q. The required standard buffer width is 50 feet for Category 2 wetlands in the City of Renton (RMC 4-3-050 M.6). ' WETLAND IMPACTS AND MITIGATION No impacts will occur to Wetland las a result of the Elliot Spawning Channel Reconstruction Project. In addition, there will be no permanent impacts to wetland buffers. Best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented to avoid or reduce adverse impacts to critical areas during construction. BMPs will be implemented for spill control and erosion and sediment control. ' Measures used may include mulching, matting, and netting; filter fabric fencing; and surface water interceptor swales and ditches. Significant long-term water quality impacts are not expected if erosion control BMPs, and spill containment measures are properly implemented, monitored, and maintained ' during construction. A temporary erosion and sediment control plan will be implemented to minimize and control pollution and erosion from stormwater. There will be approximately 0.04 acre (1,644 square feet) of temporary impact to the buffer of Wetland 1 ' (Attachment A). The buffers of Wetland 1 overlap with the riparian buffer of the Cedar River and Elliot Spawning Channel and will be planted as part of the channel access restoration and side channel riparian planting (Attachment E). iREFERENCES 1 1 Brinson, M.M. 1993.

Has the wetland unit been documented as habitat for any State listed Threatened or X Endangered animal species? For the purposes of this rating system, "documented" means the wetland is on the appropriate state database.

Does the wetland unit contain individuals of Priority species listed by the H'DFfV or the state? X SP4. Does the welland unit have a local significance in addition to its functions? For example, the X wetland has been identified in the Shoreline Master Program, the Critical Areas Ordinance, or in a local management plan as having special significance. To complete the next art of the, ,d{ata sheet you will need to determine the Hydroe�rphic Class of the wetland beim rated. The tic classification ems%wdarxis in to those that function in sirnilar ways. This simplifies the questions needed to answer how well the wetland functions. The Hydrogeornotphic Class of a wetland can be determined using the key below. Seep. 24 for mote detailed instructions on classifying wetlands. Wetland Rating Form — Western Washington, Version 2 (7/06), updated with new WDFW definitions Oct. 2008 Page I of 12 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Wetland name or number Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington Itt the hydrologic criteria listed to each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with multiale HGM classes. In this case. identifv which hvdroloeic criteria in auestions 1-7 anoly. and ao to Ouestion 8. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)? NO — go to 2 YES — the wetland class is Tidal Fringe If yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)? YES — Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO — Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater 771dal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is rated as on Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (see p. _ ). 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. NO o otg 3' YES — The wetland class is Flats If your wetland can be classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria? The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size; At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 (2 m)? NO — go to 4 YES — The wetland class is Lake -fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 4. Does the entire wetland meet all of the following criteria? The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual). The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks. The water leaves the wetland without being impounded? NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 foot deep). NO — go to 5 YES — The wetland class is Slope 5. Does the entire wetland meet all of the following criteria? The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or river. The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years. NOTE: The riverine unit can contain depressions that are f lied with water when the river is notllooding.. NO -- go to 6 YES — The wetland class is Riverine 6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of the year. This means that any outlet, if present is higher than the interior of the wetland. NO -- go to 7 YES — The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet. No — go to 8 YES -- The wetland class is Depressional 8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a dverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depression] wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less than 10%of the unit, classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area. IIGAI Classes within the wetland unit being rated HGh1 Class to Use in Rating— Slo e + Riverine Riverine Slope + Depressional Depressional Slope + Lake -fringe Lake -fringe Depressional + Riverine along stream within boundary De ressional Depressional + Lake -fringe Depressional Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other class of freshwater wetland Treat as ESTUARINE under wetlands with special characteristics If you are unable still to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or you have more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

If you answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland based on its function. Old-growth forests: (west of Cascade Crest) Stands of at least two three species forming a multi -layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare) that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 inches (81 cm or more). NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two -hundred year old trees in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW criterion is and "OR" so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter. Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 — 200 years old OR have an average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches (53 cm); crown cover may be less than 100%; decay, decadence, numbers of snags, and quantity of large downed material is generally less than that found in old-growth. Cat.

The wetland lies in a depression adjacent to marine waters that is wholly or partially separated from marine waters by sandbanks, gravel banks, shingle, or, less frequently, rocks. The lagoon in which the wetland is located contains surface water that is saline or brackish (> 0.5 ppt) during most of the year in at least a portion of the lagoon (needs to be measured near the bottom.) YES = Go to SC 5.1 NO X not a wetland in a coastal lagoon SC 5.1 Does the wetland meet all of the following three conditions? The wetland is relatively undisturbed (has no diking, ditching, filling, cultivation, grazing) and has less than 20% cover of invasive plant species (see list of invasive species on p. 74).

' PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a spawning channel maintenance project. The channel was originally built in 2001 as part of a mitigation project to offset the loss of sockeye salmon spawning habitat as a result of over -dredging in the lower river. The overdredging resulted during the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's dredging of the lower 1.25 miles of the Cedar River as part of the lower Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project. The channel successfully provided additional habitat for various life history stages of salmonids ' present in the Cedar River until the 2009 flood event when the Cedar River overtopped its banks and scoured and deposited silt and woody debris in upper 900 feet of the spawning channel. Woody debris, erosion control structures, and habitat plantings were either washed away or damaged during these flood events. In addition, spawning gravels were displaced and silt was deposited on the channel bottom. The original design also included a permeable segment of levee. This segment of levee was also damaged in the floods and the hydrologic connection to the Cedar River was altered due to sediment deposition on the ' waterside of the levee. The project will include removing silt, restoring spawning gravel with smooth river rock along the channel bottom, and replacing large woody debris. In addition, any riparian areas disturbed during the work will be restored with topsoil refinishing, reseeding, mulching, and replanting native plants on the channel banks. Until riparian planting matures, erosion control measures are required. ' Materials such as straw bales, filter fabric, and sand bags will be incorporated. The City of Renton has received funding approval from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to reconstruct, restore, and rehabilitate the spawning habitat within the channel to pre -flood conditions with National ' Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurrence already. 1 1 1 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM (CONTINUED) STREAMS The project site is located within Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 08, the Cedar-Sammamish Watershed. The Cedar River originates in relatively high mountain country of the Cascade Range near ' Stampede Pass. It flows generally west-northwest for nearly 50 miles to its confluence with the southern end of Lake Washington at Renton (Williams et al. 1975). Salmonid species in the Cedar River and its tributaries include Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), ' sockeye salmon (O. nerka), steelhead (O. mykiss), and cutthroat trout (Oncorhynehus clarki elarki), and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) (in the upper watershed) (Kerwin 2001). In the vicinity of the project site, the wetted width of the Cedar River is approximately 60 feet and the river is flowing to the ' northwest. The Cedar River adjacent to the proposed project is heavily utilized for spawning by adult sockeye, Chinook and coho salmon. The existing natural side channels downstream of the Elliot levee are utilized for rearing by sockeye fry, Chinook fry and juveniles, coho and steelhead smolts (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2000). These streams are classified as Class I according to the ' City of Renton system because the Cedar River is a Shoreline of the State (RMC 4-3-050 L.1) and a Type 1 Water according to the Washington State system (WAC 222-16-031). ' The project is in a spawning channel along the left bank of the Cedar River (Elliot Spawning Channel). This channel is separated from the mainstem Cedar River by a small levee, receiving flow from groundwater and the Cedar River. The channel was originally constructed in 2001 to provide additional habitat for various life history stages of salmonids present in the Cedar River. It achieved this purpose until the 2006 and 2009 floods when the Cedar River overtopped the levee and scoured and deposited debris in the spawning channel. There are currently several large woody debris piles/jams and much of the site has silt and sand deposition from these flooding events. iAnother associated side channel is located at the west end of the project, and connects the Cedar River with the Elliot Spawning Channel during high flows. ' The riparian buffer associated with these streams is vegetated primarily with deciduous trees, shrubs, and invasive weeds. Dominant species include black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), red alder (Alnus rubra), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), willows ' (Salix spp.) common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus). The riparian corridor is also used for passive recreation. The surrounding environment includes a city park, regional trail, and golf course. STREAM IMPACTS AND MITIGATION ' All activities will occur within the 100 -year floodplain of the Cedar River, and within the footprint of the existing/original Elliot Spawning Channel project limits. See Attachment A for specific locations of the project elements. The project includes the repair/reconstruction of approximately 900 feet of the Elliot Spawning Channel, and replacement of spawning channel gravel. Since the permeable levee was first constructed, sand and gravel bars have built up against the levee, disconnecting the mainstem Cedar River from the permeable levee. To re-establish the hydrologic connection, a 10 -foot -wide backwater channel will be constructed from the edge of the Cedar River to the levee to allow a pathway for water to reach the permeable levee. Approximately 310 cubic yards of sand and gravel will be removed from the Cedar River to create the ' backwater channel. ' CiAl of Renlnn Stream Impacts 1 558-1779-038 July 20, 2011 1 1 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM (CONTINUED) ' Approximately 1,130 cubic yards of mostly fine sediment will be removed from the spawning channel to re-establish the original channel grade to a free-flowing channel during spawning periods. Additionally, approximately 340 cubic yards of the dredged material will be replaced with streambed gravels to ' reestablish spawning habitat. A small amount of fill (46 cubic yards) will also be placed in the existing channel to form the sides of the new channel. The fill will likely be the material excavated from elsewhere in the channel. The project includes repair of a 100 -foot -long section of the levee located at the head of the spawning channel. The repair will entail replacement of approximately 185 cubic yards of heavy loose riprap at the base of the levee. This permeable material will allow water from the Cedar River to flow through the base of the levee to provide a source of hydrology to the spawning channel in accordance with the original design. The permeable levee rock will be sized to allow flow through it and will be heavy enough to reduce the risk of damage during future flood events. Approximately 70 cubic yards of 2"-8" minus ' quarry rock and 30 cubic yards of quarry spalls will be placed on top of the permeable layer of the levee to re-establish the gravel road. All placement of these materials will occur outside of the Cedar River ordinary high water tine (see Attachment A). There are two locations along the existing spawning channel where log debris from floods has blocked the spawning channel. A portion of these jams will be removed to ensure fish passage once the channel has been restored. Logs that are removed will be placed outside the channel and used for riparian habitat to ' the extent possible. Best management practices will be used during construction to ensure that impacts to the aquatic ' environment are avoided and/or minimized. The Integrated Strcambank Protection Guidelines will be followed, work will occur during the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife work window to the extent possible, and water control structures for the spawning channel will minimize the potential for sediment flushing when the spawning channel is reactivated. Sandbag dams (or other equivalent methods) and fish exclusion nets will temporarily be placed within the spawning channel, the side channel connecting the spawning channel to the Cedar River, and the Cedar River. The dams will be used to prevent water from the Cedar River from entering the work zone during summer storm events. The dams ' will also contain any groundwater that upwells during the channel excavation process within the limits of construction. The dams will be removed once the channel has been stabilized and is ready to be reconnected with the Cedar River. In addition, any riparian areas (stream buffers) disturbed during the work will be restored with topsoil refinishing, reseeding, mulching, and replanting native plants on the channel banks (Attachment B). Until riparian plantings mature, erosion control measures are required. Materials such as straw bales, filter ' fabric, and sand bags will be incorporated. REFERENCES ' Kerwin, J. 2001.
