Project Location: 4151 Williams Ave N (Parcel #0518500350)
Project Summary: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review and a Shoreline
Substantial Development Permit for the installation of fifty (50) urethane foam
bumpers on the Barbee Mill Community Organization dock located at 4151 Williams
Ave N (Parcel #0518500350). Each bumper is approximately 4.5" x 30" and will be
installed above the water in order to prevent injuries to dock users. The proposed
bumpers would be located along the perimeter of the dock within the DNR-owned
parcel #051850HYDR. The subject parcel is located in the Aquatic Shoreline Overlay
District. The dock was constructed in 2010 under a separate Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit and Environmental (SEPA) Review (LUA10-006). The upland
portion of the site is zoned Residential 10 du/ac (R-10) and is designated Residential
High Density in the Comprehensive Plan. The waterward portion of the site is
located in the Lake Washington Reach C and is designated Aquatic Shoreline Overlay
District. The applicant submitted a Biological Assessment and Habitat Data Report
with the application.

Report of April 4, 2019 Page 2 of 3
SR_ERC Report_Barbee Mill Dock Bumpers_190404
PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The project site is located at the former Barbee Mill lumber mill site which is now the Barbee Mill residential
subdivision. The proposed bumpers would be installed on a community dock located within Lake Washington along
the subdivision’s shoreline, which is a Shoreline of the State and falls under the City’s regulated Shoreline Jurisdiction.
The proposed location of the bumpers is within a DNR lease parcel (#0518500350). The applicant submitted an
approved Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA) with the application (Exhibit 7).
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts
that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
None

Exhibit 9 Plan Review Comments to Applicant
The proposal was circulated and reviewed by various city departments and divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with
the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable
impacts:
1. Water (Streams/Lakes)
Impacts: The applicant submitted a Biological Assessment and Lake Study prepared by Marine Surveys and
Assessments (Exhibits 5 and 6) for the original Barbee Mill Community Dock Project (LUA10-006). According
to RMC 4-3-090, docks and piers are required to use materials that do not adversely affect water quality or
aquatic plants and animals over the long term. The applicant has proposed the installation of 30” tall
polyurethane bumpers, which would be installed vertically along the perimeter of the dock in order to prevent
boats from drifting under the deck when loading or unloading passengers. Polyurethane is a plastic material
which is extremely durable and is commonly used in dock applications due to its resistance to degradation
from light, temperature extremes, and salt. The bumpers would be located above the OHWM and would not
require in-water work to install. The original Lake Study for the community dock concluded that the dock and
boatlift would not create any significant new impacts to the shoreline and state.
Mitigation Measures: None

Report of October 18, 2018 Page 3 of 3
SR_ERC Report_Barbee Mill Dock Bumpers_190404
2. Plants and Wildlife
Impacts: The proposed project would take place over the water and above the ordinary high water mark. No
disturbance of the restored upland vegetation would occur. Existing riparian vegetation and additional
plantings installed during construction of the Community Dock project are now adequately established and
now provide a source of food, shelter, and shade for aquatic invertebrates and fish. The Biological
Evaluation/Habitat Data Report (Exhibit 5) submitted as part of the original Community Dock project identified
the following bird species observed on or near the project site: hawks, herons, eagles, quail, osprey,
cormorants, and songbirds. In addition, the study indicates that salmonids observed at the site includes
salmon and trout. Salmonids known to be present in southern Lake Washington include Puget Sound Chinook
salmon, Coho salmon, sockeye salmon, steelhead trout, bull trout and cutthroat trout. Puget Sound Chinook,
Puget Sound steelhead and bull trout are all listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
As a result of previous remediation completed during construction of the Community Dock, shoreline that was
previously unsuitable habitat for fish and other aquatic life due to extensive shoreline modifications and
industrial use of the site has been restored. The restored gravel substrate and gently sloping bottom should
provide favorable habitat for winter rearing of salmon fry. The new gravel substrate to the north and the
existing cobble on the subject site should be suitable habitat for benthic invertebrates which would likely
attract juvenile salmonids. Due to both the location of the bumpers on an existing structure and the previously
implemented mitigation efforts included as part of the Community Dock project, impacts to both wildlife and
plants created by bumper installation are expected to be minimal. Conditions that would help mitigate project
impacts may be added to the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit expected to be issued for the
proposed bumpers.
Mitigation Measures: None
The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their comments
have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or listed under Exhibit 9 “Plan Review Comments to
Applicant”.
Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
The Environmental Determination decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within the 14-day
appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680).
Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing
together with the required fee to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057, on
or before 5:00 p.m. on April 26, 2019. RMC 4-8-110 governs appeals to the Hearing Examiner and additional
information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the City Clerk’s Office, Renton City Hall – 7th Floor,
(425) 430-6510.

least one (1) year prior to Termination Date. State will notify Tenant within ninety (90) days of
its intent to approve or deny a new Lease.
3.3 End of Term.
(a) Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove
Improvements in accordance with Section 7, Improvements, and surrender the
Property to State in the same or better condition as on the Commencement Date,
reasonable wear and tear excepted.
(b) Definition of Reasonable Wear and Tear.
(1) Reasonable wear and tear is deterioration resulting from the Permitted Use
that has occurred without neglect, negligence, carelessness, accident, or
abuse of the Property by Tenant or any other person on the premises with
the permission of Tenant.
(2) Reasonable wear and tear does not include unauthorized deposit of
material prohibited under Paragraph 2.2 regardless of whether the deposit
is incidental to or the byproduct of the Permitted Use.
(c) If Property is in worse condition, excepting for reasonable wear and tear, on the
surrender date than on the Commencement Date, the following provisions apply.
(1) State shall provide Tenant a reasonable time to take all steps necessary to
remedy the condition of the Property. State may require Tenant to enter
into a right-of-entry or other use authorization prior to the Tenant entering
the Property if the Lease has terminated.
(2) If Tenant fails to remedy the condition of the Property in a timely manner,
State may take steps reasonably necessary to remedy Tenant's failure.
Upon demand by State, Tenant shall pay all costs of State's remedy,
including but not limited to the costs of removing and disposing of
material deposited improperly on the Property, lost revenue resulting from
the condition of the Property, and administrative costs associated with the
State's remedy.
3.4 Holdover.
(a) If Tenant remains in possession of the Property after the Termination Date, the
occupancy will not be an extension or renewal of the Term. The occupancy will
be a month-to-month tenancy, on terms identical to the terms of this Lease, which
either Party may terminate on thirty (30) days' written notice.
(1) The monthly rent during the holdover will be the same rent that would be
due if the Lease were still in effect and all adjustments in rent were made
in accordance with its terms.
(2) Payment of more than the monthly rent will not be construed to create a
periodic tenancy longer than month-to-month. If Tenant pays more than
the monthly rent and State provides notice to vacate the property, State
shall refund the amount of excess payment remaining after the Tenant
ceases occupation ofthe Property.

time set forth in the notice, Tenant will be a trespasser and shall owe the State all
amounts due under RCW 79.02.300 or other applicable law.
3.5 Adjustment of Term Resulting from Tenant's Possession.
(a) If, for any reason whatsoever, State cannot deliver possession of the Property to
Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease will not be void or voidable, nor
will State be liable to Tenant for loss or damage resulting from the delay in
delivery of possession. In such event, the date of delivery of possession will be
the Commencement Date for all purposes, including the payment of rent.
(b) If Tenant takes possession before the Commencement Date, the date of possession
will be the Commencement Date for all purposes, including the payment of rent.
If the Lease Term commences earlier or later than the scheduled Commencement
Date, the Termination Date adjusts accordingly.

(a) Until adjusted as set forth below, Tenant shall pay to State an annual rent of Sixteen
Thousand One Hundred Fourteen Dollars and Ten Cents ($16, 114.1 0).
(b) The annual rent, as it currently exists or as adjusted or modified (the "Annual Rent"),
is paid in monthly installments, each of which is equal to one-twelfth (1/12) ofthe
then-current Annual Rent. The first installment, in the amount of One Thousand
Three Hundred Forty-two Dollars and Eighty-four Cents ($1,342.84), is due and
payable on or before the Commencement Date, and subsequent installments are due
and payable on or before the same day of each month thereafter. Any payment not
paid by State's close of business on the date due is past due.
4.2 Payment Place. Tenant shall make payment to Financial Management Division, 1111
Washington St SE, PO Box 47041, Olympia, WA 98504-7041.

Barbee Mill Community Dock Project
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Project Location: '
'l4 Section NW32, Township 24N, Range OSE.
4151 and 4125 Williams Avenue N.
Renton, W A 98056
Latitude: 47.515745°N/Longitude: 122.206114°W
See Figure 1 for project location.
B. Project Description:
The proposed project is the construction of a community use dock intended to facilitate access to Lake Washington
for Barbee Mill community residents (Figures 1, 3 and 4). The Barbee Mill community is being developed by
Conner Homes at Barbee Mill LLC on the approximately 22 acre site of the fonner Barbee Mill Company lumber
mill. To restore the former industrial site to a parcel suitable for a residential waterfront subdivision, the mill
buildings were demolished; fill soils were removed from behind the bulkhead; asphalt paving, a pier, the wooden
bulkhead and piling associated with the mill operation were removed; and extensive shoreline restoration was
completed pursuant to sale of the site to Conner Homes. The shoreline restoration was completed by the Barbee
Mill Company in conjunction with vacation of the land.
The proposed community dock is adjacent to one vacant lot (36) ( 4125) scheduled for residential development and
located at the vacant lot (Lot 35) (4151) recently reallocated to the Barbee Mill Community as a result of DNR
disallowing the Community Dock to be constructed over a withdrawal area (Figure 2). This north property (Lot 35)
has been reallocated to the community to provide lake access for all upland owners and those waterfront owners
located north of the site adjacent to the DNR withdrawal area. In addition to a landing and day moorage facility for
watercraft, the proposed community dock would be a suitable place for launching canoes and kayaks, for sun-
bathing, for swimming, fishing, water skiing and any number of other water sports and activities. Both properties
are currently vacant but Lot 36 is planned for a single-family residence.
The shoreline consists of a sheet pile/concrete. Additional native riparian plantings on both parcels will be offered
as part of this project. The substrate consists of small angular rock and cobble.
C. Habitat Data:
As mentioned above, the general project area is located at the former Barbee Mill Company lumber mill site. As a
former industrial site, the general development area, including the subject property, was subject to decades of
disturbance and degradation by human activity. The Lake Washington shoreline was heavily bulkheaded, back-
filled and covered with impervious asphalt paving. Numerous piling and substantial quantities of concrete rubble
and other shoreline debris were on site. To restore this former industrial site to a parcel suitable for a residential
waterfront subdivision, upland and in-water structures including the mill buildings, timber bulkhead and piling were
removed, shoreline rubble was removed, fill soil was excavated to subgrade. elevations, and toe rock and a
temporary quarry spall erosion control berm were installed. In addition, extensive shoreline restoration was
completed which included using sand, gravel ·and rock materials to construct a beach to mimic natural conditions
MS&A Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 3
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
and installing coir rolls along the Lake Washington ordinary high water line. No additional excavation, grading,
clearing or fill material will be required for the proposed pier project.
The subject property is located south of, and was not included in, the area requiring the most extensive remediation.
The study area includes no wetland or flood hazard areas but it does include Lake Washington riparian areas. Prior
to the site restoration, riparian vegetation was found to be generally absent in the Barbee Mill community
development area due to extensive paving. In unpaved areas, vegetation noted included Juncus e.ffusus (soft tush)
and Iris pseudocaris (a non-native iris). In accordance with the general development mitigation planting plan, native
plants were installed along the entire Barbee Mill community Lake Washington shoreline, including the subject
property shoreline. In conjunction with construction of the proposed community dock, additional native plants,
shrubs and/or trees will be planted as specified in applications to, and as approved by, the Washington State
Department ofFish and Wildlife and the U.S. Anny Corps ofEngineers (Figures 7-9).
Until the extensive site restoration was completed, the industrial use of the property limited the ecological functions
that would otherwise have been provided by Lake Washington and its adjacent riparian area. As a result of the
extensive remediation, beach reconstruction and plantings, the ecological functions of the Lake Washington
shoreline within the study area should be greatly enhanced. The addition of riparian vegetation to this formerly
near-barren site should help water quality by filtering pollutants, removing nutrients and reducing sediments in any
runoff from the adjacent upland development while helping to stabilize and protect the shoreline from erosion. The
riparian vegetation planted and to be planted should increase the habitat available for aquatic invertebrates and fish;
the addition of organic matter to the lake substrate from fallen and washed in leaves and woody debris will provide
them with food, shelter and shade. Increased overhanging vegetation will also provide shade and predator protection
for fish and aquatic invertebrates and may facilitate the migration of juvenile salmon. Terrestrial insects will benefit
from the food and shelter provided by newly planted vegetation, which in turn will provide' an additional food
source for the birds and animals that feed upon them.
The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Priority Habitat and Species database
(http://wdfw.wa.gov/hab/phslist.htm) identifies habitats and species considered to be priorities for conservation and
management. Listed species observed in the general Barbee Mill community development area include bull trout,
Puget Sound chinook salmon, Puget Sound steelhead, and marbled murrelet, all of which are discussed below.
Protected wildlife in Washington State shall not be hunted or fished (WAC 232-12-011). Protected wildlife noted
from time to time within the general Barbee Mill community development area include the marbled murrelet and
the bald eagle. The marbled murre let is classified as a "threatened species," a species likely to become endangered
within the foreseeable future throughout a significant portion of their range within the state without cooperative
management or removal of threats. The bald eagle is no longer on the list of threatened or endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) but continues to be protected by the Bald and Golden Eagles Protection
Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and is protected as a "sensitive species" in Washington. Sensitive species are
vulnerable or declining and likely to become endangered or threatened in a significant portion of their range within
the state without cooperative management or removal of threats. The only eagle nests observed near the subject
property are two nests approximately 0.65 mile from the site on the opposite shore.
D. Project Description:
MS&A
The proposed community dock will consist of a fully grated 1,592 ft2 Community Dock with a 5'-10" x 172'
(1,003 ft?) main walkway, a 7'-10" x 56' (437 ft2) "T" and a 5'-10" x 26' (152 ft2) fmger pier (Figures 3-6). The
dock will have a 100% grated surface with 46% open space. The dock will be supported by (14) 6" And (14) 8"
diameter steel battered piles. Piles will be driven using a vibratory pile driver to practical refusal. A native
planting plan will be installed (Figures 7-9). A 6' wide walkway is needed to safely serve the anticipated number
of users.

2. Install silt containment curtain around work area to contain any debris that may fall into lake waters. In the event
any materials enter lake waters they will be retrieved inunediately and placed in debris containers on the barge.
3. Using the barge-based crane and vibratory insertion/extraction system, install (14) 6", (14) 8" diameter steel
batter piles practical refusal.
4. Cut steel piling as necessary at the appropriate elevation.
5. Install pre-fabricated dock, "ELL" and fmger sections onto pipe collar assemblies and secure to piling.
6. Demobilize and dispose of all debris at approved upland disposal site.
General Notes:
1. All treatments will be applied and fully cured prior to delivery to the site.
2. Ramp and pier section will be prefabricated at contractor's Lake Union Facility and delivered to the site via
construction barge.
3. Native riparian planting plan will be installed by others following construction.
A TIENTION: Fisheries alert! If at any time, as a result of project activities, fish are observed in distress, a fish kill
occurs, or water quality problems develop (including equipment leaks or spills), operations shall cease and the
WDFW at (360) 534-8233 and Washington Department of Ecology at ( 425) 649-7000 shall be contacted
immediately. Work shall not resume until further approval is given by the WDFW.
F. Action Area:
The action area should include the area within a one-mile radius of the project location. This area includes potential
turbidity and noise impacts from the construction process.
II. SPECIES AND HABITAT INFORMATION
A. Species Information:
In the project area, the Puget Sound chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is listed under the Endangered Species
Act as a threatened species according to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)(Federal Register, Vol. 64,
No. 56). On May 11, 2007, NMFS also listed the Puget Sound steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as a threatened
species under the ESA (Federal Register I Vol. 72, No. 91 I Friday, May 11,2007 I Rules and Regulations). Bull
trout (Salvelinus confluentus) were listed as threatened by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in
October of 1999.
On September 2, 2005, NMFS issued the final rule designating critical habitat for 12 Evolutionarily Significant
Units (ESU s) of West Coast salmon, including the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon ESU and the Hood Canal
Summer-run Chum ESU. The project site is in an area designated as critical habitat for the Puget Sound Chinook
ESU (Federal Register /.Vol 70, No.l70 I Friday, September 2, 2005 Rules and Regulations). USFWS has
MS&A Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 5
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
designated critical habitat in Lake Washington for Coastal-Puget Sound bull trout (Federal Register I Vol. 70, No.
185 I September 26, 2005 I Rules and Regulations).
Puget Sound Chinook: Puget Sound chinook, also called the king salmon, are distinguished from all other Pacific
salmon by their large size. Most chinook in the Puget Sound are "ocean-type" and migrate to the marine
environment during their first year (Myers et al. 1998). They may enter estuaries immediately after emergence
as fry from March to May at a length of 40 mm., or they may enter the estuaries as fingerling smolts during May
and June of their first year at a length of 60-80 nun. (Healey 1982). Chinook fry in Washington estuaries feed
on emergent insects and epibenthic crustaceans (gammarid amphipods, mysids, and cumaceans). As they grow
and move into neritic habitats, they feed on decapod larvae, larval and juvenile fish, drift insects, and
euphausiids (Simenstad et al. 1982). These ocean-type chinook use estuaries as rearing areas and are the most
dependent of all salmon species on estuaries for survival.
In the Lake Washington system, adult chinook salmon usually arrive at the Chittenden Locks in July, although
there are some arrivals before and after July (Synthesis of Salmon Research and Monitoring. 2008). According
to Freshet al. (2000), the total time for salmon migration from the Locks to arrival at their tributary spawning
grounds "can take up to 55 days, but averages less than 30." During much of this time, salmon hold in the
upstream area from the Locks before moving through the Ship Canal and Lake Union. Fresh et al. (2000) found
the average holding time to be from 17 to 19 days. After reach their spawning streams between September and
November, spawning occurs from October to December.
According to Taboret al. (2006), "Fry emerge from their redds from January to March. Juvenile Chinook
salmon appear to have two rearing strategies: rear in the river and then emigrate in May or June as pre-smolts,
or emigrate as fry in January, February, or March and rear in the south end of Lake Washington or Lake
Sammamish for three to five months." In the project area vicinity, juvenile chinook salmon from the Cedar
River enter Lake Washington and rear in the south end of the lake primarily from January to May.
Taboret al. (2006) also reported that:
Similar to results of 2002, juvenile Chinook salmon were concentrated in the south end of Lake Washington
from February to May ..... Therefore, it appears that the lake shore area near the natal stream is an important
nursery area for juvenile Chinook salmon. In Lake Washington, the major part of this nursery area appears
to be roughly from Pritchard Beach on the west shoreline and the mouth of May Creek on the east shore and
the south part of Mercer Island. The distance from the mouth of the Cedar River to the edge of the nursery
area is around 6 krn. North ofthis area, the number of Chinook salmon would be expected to be relatively
low until mid-May or June.
In the same study cited above, it was found that marked chinook did not move far from their release' site at Gene
Coulon Park (approximately 1.5 miles south of the current project site). Marked juveniles were observed 1, 7,
15, and 21 days after release at Gene Coulon Park. All of the marked salmon that the investigators observed had
moved less than 150 m from their release site at the park.
After moving slowly away from the Green River and south Lake Washington, juveniles reach the Chittenden
Locks during the period between May and August, with peak migration through the Locks taking place in June.
According to Kerwin (2001) chinook, coho, sockeye and winter steelhead use May Creek near the project site
for spawning, rearing and migration. However, volunteers from the Volunteer Salmon Watchers Program have
been observing salmon in May Creek since 2000. They have reported that only sockeye are seen consistently,
while chinook, coho, cutthroat trout and kokanee salmon are less commonly seen.
Bull Trout: Coastal-Puget Sound bull trout have ranged geographically from northern California (at present they
are extinct in California) to the Bering Sea coast of Alaska, and northwest along the Pacific Rim to northern
Japan and Korea. Bull trout are members of the char subgroup of the salmon family. Spawning occurs typically
from August to November in streams and migration to the open sea (for anadromous populatiops) takes place in
the spring. Eggs and juveniles require extremely cold water for survival. Temperatures in excess of about 15
MS&A Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 6
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
degrees Care thought to limit bull trout distribution (Rieman and Mcintyre 1993). They live both in fresh and
marine waters. Some migrate to larger rivers (fluvial), lakes (adfluvial), or saltwater (anadromous) before
returning to smaller streams to spawn. Others (resident bull trout) complete all of their life in the streams where
they were reared. Habitat degradation, dams and diversions, and predation by non-native fish threaten the
Coastal-Puget Sound population. The Coastal-Puget Sound bull trout population is thought to contain the only
anadromous forms ofbull trout in the contiguous United States (Federal Register, Vol. 6( No. 210, 1999).
Two subpopulations of bull trout (also known as "native char") are considered within the Lake Washington
area: the Chester Morse Reservoir population and the Issaquah Creek-Sammamish River population (Federal
Register, Vol. 64, No. 210, 1999). "Only two 'native char' have been observed during the past 10 years in the
Issaquah Creek drainage and none have been observed in the Sanunamish River system. It is questionable
whether a viable subpopulation remains." (Federal Register, Vol. 64, No. 210, 1999).
Puget Sound Steelhead: Wild winter steelhead enter the Lake Washington system in mid-December with peak
spawning taking place in May. There have been high rates of predation by California sea lions at the Ballard
Locks, which is one of the leading factors in the declining steelhead production in the Lake Washington system
(1992 Washington State Salmon and Steelhead Stock Inventory. Appendix One -Puget Sound Stocks.
Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife, Olympia, WA.).
According to Kerwin (2001):
The Lake Washington system supports one native winter steelhead stock but not a summer steelhead stock
(SASSI 1994). The winter steelhead stock was listed in SASSI as "Depressed" but has recently shown some
evidence of rebounding. A limited hatchery program utilizing the native winter steelhead stock was initiated
in 1997 as a supplementation type program to assist in recovery of winter steelhead populations in the north
Lake Washington tributaries. The sharp decline in Lake Washington winter steelhead was noted as a reason
for concern by NMFS in their stock status review (Busby 1996).
However, in a more recent analysis, between 1986 and 2004 escapement for the Lake Washington winter-run
steelhead ranged from 1,816 (1986) to 44 (2004) (WDFW 2004). Based on the chronically low escapement and
short-term severe decline in escapements, the stock status has decreased from its 1992 "depressed" status to
"critical" in 2002.
Marbled Murrelets: Marbled murrelets are small marine birds in the alcidae family. They spend most of their time
at sea and only use old growth areas for nesting. In the critical nesting areas, fragmentation and loss of old
growth forest has a significant impact on the survival and conservation of the species (WDW, 1993). Adult
birds are found within or adjacent to the marine environment where they dive for sand lance, sea perch, Pacific
herring, surf smelt and other small schooling fish, and feed on invertebrates.
The project site is located in an urban environment adjacent to a major highway. There is a high level of
ambient noise in the project vicinity. There is no nesting habitat near the site. Therefore it is unlikely that
murrelets will be present in the project vicinity.
Ill. EFFECTS OF THE ACTION
The status of each of the listed species in the action area has been provided. The proposed project has been
described and the action area defined. When reviewing all the data, the potential direct and indirect effects of the
proposed action on the listed species and their critical habitat should be considered.
A. Direct Effects:
When considering the direct effects of the proposed project, one must determine if the proposed project will
MS&A Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 7
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
immediately reduce or destroy the listed species and/or their habitat. The potential, direct impacts caused by the
construction process include increased noise and turbidity.
Pile driving noise: A vibratory pile driver will be used to drive the piles to practical refusal. Feist eta!. (1992)
reported that salmonids could be expected to hear pile driving noise approximately 2,000' from the source.
Based on the studies at the Everett Homeport, these researchers concluded that pile driving diq alter the
distribution and behavior of juvenile pink and chum salmon. However, the Everett Homeport results may not be
entirely applicable to the proposed project, because a diesel powered compression hammer was used in that
study. As stated in the Feist report, "It would be reasonable to say that juvenile salmonids might respond
differently to the sounds of a vibratory hammer, compared to that of a diesel compression hammer."
As noted above, It is unlikely that murrelets will be present in the action area. Therefore, the construction
process should have little or no impact on marbled murrelets.
Turbidity: Increased turbidity caused by pile driving could, under certain circumstances, have adverse effects on
salmon and bull trout. The effects depend on duration of exposure, concentration of turbidity and the life stage
of the salmon during the increased exposure. The effects can be discussed in terms of lethal, sublethal or
behavioral (Nightingale and Simenstad 200 Ia and Simenstad, editor, 1988). A silt containment curtain will be
installed in the project area to contain and minimize turbidity impacts.
To minimize the adverse effects of increased turbidity and noise on migrating salmonids and bull trout, inwater
construction work will take place during the approved work window from July 16 to December 31. Overwater
work can proceed outside of the inwater work window.
B. Indirect Effects:
Indirect effects are effects of the project that occur later in time. For this project, indirect effects might include
alteration of juvenile salmon migratory pathways, increase in salmonid predation and reduction in prey resources
andrefugia due to shading of the epibenthic substrate by the structure.
Migratory pathway alteration:
MS&A
Freshwater: There were no studies specifically investigating the effects of piers on salmonid migration in lakes
cited by Kahler et al. (2000) in their review of pier-related impacts in lakes. Concerning the lake environment,
Kahler et al. (2000) state, "The question remains whether juvenile salmonids in lakes migrate under, or
otherwise utilize, piers, or if they avoid them and/or traverse their perimeter."
However, more recent reports have provided additional information concerning salmon responses to overwater
structures.
Tabor and Piaskowski (2002) noted that, "In February and March, chinook salmon were found using overhead
structures (piers, docks, and overhanging vegetation) during the day but in April and May, no chinook salmon
were ever observed using overhead structures. At night, chinook salmon rarely used overhead structures." The
authors hypothesized that the overhead structures were being used as a substitute for natural overhead cover
during the days in February and March.
In a later study, Tabor et al. (2006) noted slightly different results. They state that, "When migrating Chinook
salmon approach a pier they appeared to move to slightly deeper water and either pass directly under the
structure or swim around the pier. Most likely they move to deeper water as a way of reducing their predation
risk." The pier where these findings we made is approximately 7.8' wide, 138' long and had solid decking. The
dimensions of the piers in the earlier study are not known. The results from the later study were noted in May
and July, whereas the 2002 study results were for the earlier months of February and March.

DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
The results of Celedonia et al. (2008) were similar to those of Tabor et al. (2000). Celedonia et al. stated,
"Juvenile Chinook salmon generally avoided areas directly beneath overwater structures. However, areas along
the edges of structures (within about 2m horizontal distance) were sometimes used for prolonged periods (up to
2 hours in one case)." However, these authors offered the following qualifying statement:
These observations may be representative of holding fish near structures in general, but may not be an
accurate indication of how untagged Chinook salmon would generally behave upon volitionally entering
these specific areas. Actively migrating fish (i.e., most fish released off-site and observed at the Seattle
Tennis Club site) often appeared to change course as they approached a structure. Structure width and water
depth appeared to influence degree of avoidance. Fish appeared less hesitant to pass beneath narrow
structures. Fish also appeared to move into deeper water to travel beneath or around structures.
These authors also observed:
Behavior at structures differed (i.e., swim beneath or travel around perimeter), and may have been related to
such interrelated factors as: fish size, light levels beneath the structure, degree of contrast at the light-dark
edge, width of the structure, height of the structure above the water surface, and water column depth
beneath the structure. Further study is needed to conclusively determine how these and other factors interact
to influence Chinook salmon behavior.
Marine Waters: In the marine environment, it is generally accepted that overwater structures can alter
migration behavior of juvenile salmon (though the effects may vary depending on the design and orientation of
the structure, degree of shading, and the presence of artificial light), and reduce salmon prey resources and
refugia by shading aquatic plant life (Simenstad et al. 1999; Nightingale and Simenstad 2001 b). However, the
significance of these effects is not clear. As Simenstad et al. state, "We found no studies that described
empirical evidence supporting or refuting that modification of juvenile salmon behavior in shoreline habitats
was reflected in changes in survival." Nightingale and Simenstad (200 1 b) state, "Presently, although we know
that under some conditions small juvenile salmon will delay or otherwise alter their shoreline movements when
encountering an overwater structure, the conditions under which this behavioral modification is significant to
the fishes' fitness and survival is relatively unknown."
A study by Williams et al. (2003) at the Mukilteo ferry terminal, found that, "Salmon fry were observed in all
nearshore habitats during each transect sampling period (day and night). The fry were observed under a wide
range of PAR values (0.0 p.mol m-2 s-1 to 2370 p.mol m-2 s-1 ). Fry were observed both outside the terminal
and underneath the terminal at all times, and shadows produced by the 1O-m-wide terminal structure did not
appear to act as barriers to fry movement at this location."
There is no question that underwater structures may alter migration patterns-that is not in dispute. As seen in
the study by Williams and in many other studies (see the literature review by Weitkamp-2003), there are
studies that indicate that salmon migration is not affected by the presence of overwater structures. Of course,
there are other studies indicating migration patterns are altered by overwater structures.
The issue is that no one has shown that these migration changes lead to increased mortality or decreased fitness.
None of the studies that report changes in salmonid migration patterns caused by overwater structures in the
marine environment have reported that these changes have a negative impact on salmonids.
Increased predation: An additional concern about the impacts of overwater structures on migrating salmon is that
they will be forced to move out into deeper water, where they will be consumed by predatory fish speCies.
However, in a study conducted in the marine environment, Williams et al. (2003) noted:
MS&A
We found no evidence that avian, marine mammal, or fish predators consumed more juvenile salmon
near WSF terminals than along shorelines without overwater structures. Few species appeared to be
targeting abundant fry in nearshore habitats, and we observed only two occasions in which predators
(one tern sp., one staghorn sculpin) had consumed juvenile salmon.
Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 9
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
The authors also state,
Our analysis of fish diets at the Mukilt~o ferry terminal provides one piece of conclusive evidence that
juvenile salmon were not a major dietary component of predatory fish species during our study.
It should be noted that the Williams study was conducted in the marine, not lake, environment.
In Lake Washington, smallmouth bass migration into the littoral zone corresponds with the peak occurrence of
migrating salmonids in this zone (Freshet al. 2001). Because of these similar migration patterns, salmonids are
most at risk of predation from smallmouth bass in Lake Washington. Bass prefer complex, natural cover for
their foraging environment. When there is a scarcity of natural cover for foraging, as is the situation in Lake
Washington, they tend to use the dominant structures in the environment, such as pilings and piers, for foraging
cover (Kahler et al. 2000). There is concern that increasing the number of overwater structures will increase the
predation success of smallmouth bass on migrating salmonids.
Taboret al. (2004) investigated predation of juvenile chinook salmon in three areas of the Lake Washington
Basin. One of the areas they looked at was the south end of Lake Washington, an important rearing area. The
investigators found that:
The only predators observed to consume Chinook salmon were cutthroat trout, prickly sculpin (C. asper),
smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui), and largemouth bass (M salmoides). Consumption of Chinook
salmon by cutthroat trout was observed in February, March and early April. Predation by prickly sculpin
was only observed in February. Smallmouth bass consumed Chinook salmon in May and June. Few
largemouth bass were collected; however, we did document a largemouth bass that had consumed a
Chinook salmon in June. We estimated a total of 1,400 Chinook salmon fry were consumed by littoral
predators from February to mid May ..... Based on consumption estimates and expected abundance of
juvenile Chinook salmon, predatory fishes probably consumed less than 10% of the fry that entered the lake
from the Cedar River.
The investigators in this study did not comment on the impacts of overwater structures on the predation rate found
in south Lake Washington.
The following design components will reduce foraging cover and allow more light penetration under the proposed
pier.
1.The dock will have a fully grated surface with 46% open space to allow light to reach the lake waters below.
2. The bottom of the dock will be 18" above the OHWL.
3. The smallest number and diameter steel piles will be used to minimize the amount of structure in the water
and disturbance to the substrate.
4. Glu-lam stringers will be used to allow the longest spans possible between piles.
C. Interrelated/Interdependent Effects:
Completion of this project will not promote future construction or other activities that would not otherwise occur
without its completion. Therefore, no additional interrelated or interdependent actions that could affect species
regulated under ESA will occur because of this project.
D. Take Analysis:
"Take" is defmed as, "to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, trap, capture, collect or attempt to engage in any
such conduct." The USFWS further defines "harm" as "significant habitat modification or degradation that results
in death or injury to listed species by significantly impairing behavioral patterns such as breeding, feeding, or

sheltering." It is likely that no "take" will result from this project.
E. Conservation Measures:
In order to minimize any direct effects on the listed species caused by this project, inwater work should take place
between July 16 and December 31. It is requested that overwater work be allowed to take place outside of this work
window. Additional impact reduction and mitigation measures will reduce adverse impacts of the project. They
include:
l .The dock will have a fully grated surface with 46% open space to allow light to reach the lake waters below.
2. The bottom of the dock will be 18" above the OHWL.
3. The smallest number and diameter steel piles will be used to minimize the amount of structure in the water and
disturbance to the substrate.
4. Glu-lam stringers will be used to allow the longest spans possible between piles.
5. The con.struction barge will not be allowed to ground out on the lake bottom at anytime.
6. Piles will be driven using a vibratory pile driver to practical refusal.
7. Construction will take place during authorized inwater work windows design to protect listed species and/or
critical habitat.
8. All dock sections will be prefabricated at the contractor's lake union facility and delivered to the site via
construction barge.
9. A native planting plan will be installed.
F. Determination of Effect:
After reviewing the appropriate data and surveys, the effect determinations for the impacts of the project, as
designed, are:
1. Puget Sound chinook-''May affect, not likely to adversely affect"
2. Bull trout -"May affect, not likely to adversely affecf'
3. Puget Sound steelhead-"May affect, not likely to adversely affect"
4. Marbled murrelet-''No effect"
This is the appropriate conclusion when effects on the species and their critical habitat are expected to be beneficial,
discountable or insignificant. Limiting construction work to the approved work window will reduce direct impacts
on the listed species. Shading impacts on the benthic environment will be minimized by the conservation measures
discussed above.

Attachment 3. Essential Fish Habitat Assessment
A. Background
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), as amended by the Sustainable
Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public law 104-267), requires Federal agencies to consult with NMFS on activities that may
adversely affect designated Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for the relevant species. According to the MSA, EFH
means "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity." For the
Pacific West Coast, the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (Council) has designated EFH for federally managed
groundfish (PFMC 1998a), coastal pelagic (PFMC 1998b) and Pacific salmon fisheries (PFMC 1999).
The purpose ofthe EFH Assessment is to determine the effects of the proposed project on the EFH for the relevant
species and to recommend conservation measures to avoid, minimize or otherwise offset adverse effects on EFH.
B. Identification of EFH
The designated EFH for groundfish and coastal pelagic species encompasses all waters from the me~ high water
line, and upriver extent of saltwater intrusion in river mouths, along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and
California, seaward to the boundary of the U.S. exclusive economic zone (370.4 km) (PFMC 1998a, 1998b). The
designated EFH in estuarine and marine areas for Pacific salmon species extends from the nearshore and tidal
submerged environments within state territorial water out to the full extent of the exclusive economic zone (3 70 .4
km) offshore of Washington, Oregon and California north of Point Conception to the Canadian border PFMC,
1999).
Freshwater EFH for Pacific salmon includes all those streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands and other water bodies
currently, or historically accessible to salmon in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California, except areas upstream
of certain impassable man-made barriers, and longstanding, naturally~ impassable barriers.
Chinook salmon and coho salmon are the species with designated EFH that are found in Lake Washington
C. Proposed Action
The details of the proposed project are presented in Project Description section of the attached BE/Habitat Data
Report. ·
D. Effects of the Proposed Action
The effects of this project on designated EFH are likely to be similar to the effects described in detail in the Effects
Analysis section of the attached BE/Habitat Data Report. The project is likely to have no permanent, long-term
effects EFH designated for chinook and coho salmon.
E. EFH Conservation Measures
The conservation measures and BMP's mentioned in the attached BE/Habitat Data Report will be implemented to
minimize possible adverse effects to EFH. ·
MS&A Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 28
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
F. Conclusion
The project may have temporary adverse effects on EFH the salmon species, but will not produce long-term adverse
effects on EFH for the above species. The conservation measures and HMP's mentioned in the attached BE/Habitat
Data Report will be implemented to minimize any possible the temporary adverse effects on EFH.

Attachment 4. Assessment of Impacts to Critical Habitat for Puget Sound Chinook
Project description: Construction of a new community-use dock on Lake Washington in Renton,
This assessment covers the primary constituent elements (50 CFR Part 226, page 74581-2) determined essential to
the conservation ofPuget Sound Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha):
(1) Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity and quality conditions and substrate supporting spawning,
incubation, and larval development.
Existing Conditions: There are no suitable freshwater spawning sites at the project location.
(2) Freshwater rearing sites with water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form and maintain physi~al habitat
conditions and support juvenile growth and mobility; water quality and forage supporting juvenile development;
and natural cover such as shade, submerged and overhanging large wood, log jams and beaver dams, aquatic
vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels, and undercut banks.
Existing Conditions: Native vegetation has been planted immediately landward of the bulkhead in conjunction
with the upland development. There is a concrete/sheet pile bulkhead along the shoreline of both properties. No side
channels or undercut banks were noted.
(3) Freshwater migration corridors free of obstruction with water quantity and quality conditions and natural cover
such as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels, and
undercut banks supporting juvenile and adult mobility and survival.
Existing Conditions: See (2) above.
(4) Estuarine areas free of obstruction with water quality, water quantity and salinity conditions supporting juvenile
and adult physiological transitions between fresh-and saltwater; natural cover such as submerged and overhanging
large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, and side channels, and juvenile and adult forage, including
aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation.
Existing Conditions: See (2) above.
(5) Nearshore marine areas free of obstruction with water quality and quantity conditions and forage, including
aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation; and natural cover such as submerged and
overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulder and side channels.
Existing Conditions: The site is in a freshwater area.
(6) Offshore marine areas with water quality conditions and forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes,
supporting growth and maturation.
Existing Conditions: The site is in a freshwater lake area.

Effects Analysis: A complete discussion of the effects of this project is seen in the BE/Habitat Data Report.
Construction will produce brief and localized increased turbidity, which will be contained by a silt curtain. The
project will have no long-term impacts on water quantity, salinity conditions or water temperature. Construction
during work windows will prevent impacts to the listed fish species.
Shading impacts on the benthic environment will be reduced by design components of the proposed project. The
entire dock will be fully grated. The smallest number and diameter steel piles will be used to minimize the amount
of structure in the water and disturbance to the substrate. Glu-lam stringers will be used to allow the longest spans
possible between piles. The construction barge will not be allowed to ground out on the lake bottom at anytime. A
native planting plan will be installed.
Determination of Effect: "May affect, not likely to adversely affect"

Attachment 5.
Assessment of Impacts to Critical Habitat for Coastal-Puget Sound Bull Trout
COE reference: Unknown at this time
Applicant: Conner Homes at Barbee Mill LLC (Attn: Charlie Conner).
The primary constituent elements determined essential to the conservation of bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) are:
(1) Water temperatures that support bull trout use. Bull trout have been documented in streams with temperatures
from 32 to 72 °F (0 to 22 °C) but are found more frequently in temperatures ranging from 36 to 59 °F (2 to 15 °C).
These temperature ranges may vary depending on bull trout life history stage and form, geography, elevation,
diurnal and seasonal variation, shade, such as that provided by riparian habitat, and local groundwater influence.
Stream reaches that preclude bull trout use are specifically excluded from designation.
Existing Conditions: The project will take place in Lake Washington, a large body of fresh water.
Effects to PCE: The project is not expected to have any influence on the water temperature of Lake Washington.
(2) Complex stream channels with features such as woody debris, side channels, pools, and undercut banks to
provide a variety of depths, velocities, and in stream structures.
Existing Conditions: Project will take place in Lake Washington-not in a stream environment
Effects to PCE: No effect
(3) Substrates of sufficient amount, size and composition tci ensure success of egg and embryo overwinter survival,
fry emergence, and young-of-the year and juvenile survival. This should include a minimal amount of fme substrate
less than 0.25 in (0.63 em) in diameter.
Existing Conditions: No spawning activity at the site
Effects to PCE: No effect
( 4) A natural hydrograph, including peak, high, low, and base flows within historic ranges or, if regulated, currently
operate under a biological opinion that addresses bull trout, or a hydrograph that demonstrates the ability to support
bull trout populations by minimizing daily and· day-to-day fluctuations and minimizing departures from the natural
cycle of flow levels corresponding with seasonal variation: This rule finds that reservoirs currently oper;:tting under
a biological opinion that addresses bull trout provides management for PCEs as currently operated.
Existing Conditions: Project will take place in Lake Washington
Effects to PCE: The project does not involve any alteration in the lake level; therefore it will have no impact on
this PCE.
MS&A Barbee Mill Community Dock Project • 32
DocuSign Envelope ID: DB3A1C54-A75A-41B8-A6B5-E1F1F8433564
(5) Springs, seeps, groundwater sources, and subsurface water to contribute to water quality and quantity as a cold-
water source.
Existing Conditions: See 4 above
Effects to PCE: This project will have no impact on springs, seeps, groundwater sources or subsurface water
(6) Migratory corridors with minimal physical, biological, or water quality impediments between spawning, rearing,
overwintering, and foraging habitats, including intermittent or seasonal barriers induced by high water temperatures
or low flows.
Existing Conditions: Native vegetation has been planted along the site shoreline.
Effects to PCE: The proposed dock will incorporate design components that will decrease negative impacts on
foraging habitat and migratory corridors. The proposed dock will be fully grated and supported by the smallest
number and diameter steel pilings, which will cause minimal physical, biological or water quality impediments.
(See the BE/Habitat Data Report for details).
(7) An abundant food base including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and forage
fish.
Existing Conditions: Native vegetation has been planted along the site shoreline.
Effects to PCE: See 6 above
(8) Permanent water of sufficient quantity and quality such that normal reproduction, growth and survival are not
inhibited.
Existing Conditions: See 4 above.
Effects to PCE: Pile driving may produce temporary turbidity impacts. These are expected to be short term and are
not expected to have a significant impact on critical habitat. Any debris associated with the project construction
phase will be contained by a silt containment curtain.
Determination of Effect: ''No destruction or adverse modification"
Conservation Measures: Conservation measures for this project are seen in the BE/Habitat Data Report.
