During the SEP A comment period for this project, you raised concerns about the beach anchors,
I've enclosed a CD containing .pdf files of drawings from the 90 percent construction
specifications that reflect changes made to the design in response to comments from you and
the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. I hope this helps to address your concerns.

Aquatic land that was historically converted to
upland during the operation of the Barbee Mill,
which ceased operations in the late 1990's, is
proposed to be restored to a sand and gravel
beach. The restoration plan would be
accomplished with the following steps: demolition
and removal of upland lumber mill facilities;
removal of in-water structures (pilings and pier);
excavation of fill soils to achieve subgrade
elevations; installation of toe rock and quarry spall
berm; and the importation of sand, gravel, and rock
materials for beach construction. The project area
is located within the Urban Shoreline Designation.

sponsor of a watershed restoration plan that implements the plan or a part of the plan
and consists of one or more of the following activities:
(A) A project that involves less than ten miles of streamreach, in which less than
twenty-five cubic yards of sand, gravel, or soil is removed, imported, disturbed or
discharged, and in which no existing vegetation is removed except as minimally
necessary to facilitate additional plantings;
(8) A project for the restoration of an eroded or unstable stream bank that employs
the principles of bioengineering, including limited use of rock as a stbilization only
at the toe of the bank, and with primary emphasis on using native vegetation to
control the erosive forces of flowing water; or
(C) A project primarily design to improve fish and wildlife habitat, remove or reduce
impediments to migration of fish, or enhance the fishery resource available for
use by all of the citizens of the state, provided that any structure, other than a
bridge or culver or instream habitat enhancement structure associated with the
project, is less than two hundred square feet in floor area and is located above
the ordinary high water mark of the stream.
(ii) "Watershed restoration plan" means a plan, developed or sponsored by the
department of fish and wildlife, the department of ecology, the department of natural
resources, the department of transportation, a federally recognized Indian tribe acting
within and pursuant to its authority, a city, a county, or a conservation district that
provides a general program and implementation measures or actions for the
preservation, restoration, re-creation, or enhancement of the natural resources,
character, and ecology of a stream, stream segment, drainage area, or watershed for
which agency and public review has been conducted pursuant to chapter 43.21 C

REPORT AND DECISION OF (OCTOBER 11,2005)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND (CONTINUED)
EnViemtal Review Commiuee Staff Report
LUAOS-I04, SME, ECF
Page2 of2
A lumber mill, previously operated by the Barbee Mill Co., is currently located on the subject site. The mill ceased
operations in the late 1990s. Between approximately 1944 and 1957, approximately 550 linear feet of uplands were
created on the waterward side of the Inner Harbor Line. Most of this area is paved, and two former lumber mill
buildings are located within the lease area footprint.
A timber bulkhead protects the southern 300 linear feet of shoreline fill. A 135-foot long by 25-foot wide timber pier
separates this area from the northern 225 feet of shoreline. Approximately 28 non-creosote timber pilings (former
boomsticks) on the south side of the pier delineate a former dock that has recently been removed.
The northern shoreline is steeply sloping and does not currently have a bulkhead, although a row of pilings near the
ordinary high water mark (OHWM) delineates a bulkhead that may have existed there historically. The subject site is
currently used on an occasional basis for log rafting.
B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on analYSis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommend that the Responsible Officials
make the following Environmental Determination:
DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE
Issue DNS with 14 day Appeal Period.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
DETERMINATION OF
NON -SIGNIFICANCE -MITIGA TED.
XX Issue DNS-M with 14 day Appeal Period.
Issue DNS-M with 15 day Comment Period
followed by a 14 day Appeal Period.
In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only those
project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and
environmental regulations.
1. Earth
Impacts: According to the information submitted by the applicant, the existing topography of the upland portion of the
subject site is flat, however the proposal is to excavate the fill placed on the subject site and restore the site to a
graded beach, which will mimic natural conditions. The soil located behind the bulkhead is clean fill. The substrate
waterward of the bulkhead consists of silty sand. The Barbee Mill Company in the summer/fall of 2002 completed
sediment dredging and cleanup activities.
Approximately 28,140 sq. ft. of impervious surfaces will be removed before soil excavation begins. Pavement will be
broken using a tracked excavator with a jackhammer, and the asphalt fragments will be loaded onto trucks and
disposed of at an appropriate upland facility.
Fill soils will be excavated from behind the bulkhead. Excavation of fill soils will occur either from a barge-mounted
clamshell crane, or from the uplands using a track-mounted excavator. All fill will be removed prior to bulkhead
removal to control erosion and turbidity. All excavated soils will be placed on-site in the upland private property.
Following completion of soil excavation, the bulkhead will be dismantled and untreated timbers will be reused on the
upland parcel. A relatively small number of creosote-treated pilings associated with the former de-barking facility at
the mill will be disposed at a facility authorized to receive such material.

BARBEE MILL SHORELINE RESTORATION
REPORT AND DECISION OF (OCTOBER 11.2005)
EnVi_nlat Review Committee Staff Reporr
LUAOS-I04, SME, ECF
Page30f3
A permanent line of toe rock will be installed on the landward side of the Inner Harbor Line/property line as a method of
erosion control. Approximately 700 cubic yards of rock will be placed as toe rock, which will consist of 900-1,200 Ib
individual stones, which will be half buried. Toe rock will be bedded in a 6-inch minimum layer of 2 to 4-inch crushed
rock. Approximately 12 inches of toe rock will be exposed above the OHWM.
Temporary measures to control erosion above and on the landward side of the toe rock will employ Construction Best
Management Practices (Construction BMPs) and will consist of a combination of geotextiles and a graded quarry rock
(quarry spall) forming a protective berm. The temporary quarry spall berm will extend 2 feet vertically above the toe
rock and have a maximum slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (2H:1 V). The width of the berm will be a minimum of 4
feet, with an additional 2 feet of width for the toe rock, for a total width of approximately 6 feet. The total height of the
toe rock and berm will be approximately 3 feet above the OHWM.
The underlying soil will be graded to the appropriate slope before beach materials are overlaid. Finished beach slopes
will range from up to 20H:1 Von the south beach segment, to 7.5H:1 Von the north segment. These grades would vary
in response to existing bathymetry and represent a range of slopes that are suitable and desirable for nearshore
habitat and recreational use on Lake Washington.
The proposed excavation and grading could result in erosion. Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure
requiring the applicant to comply with the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Plan outlined in Vol.
11 of the 2001 Stormwater Management Manual during construction.
Mitigation Measures:
The project will be required to comply with the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Plan outlined in
Vol. 11 of the 2001 Stormwater Management Manual during construction.
Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations, DOE Stormwater Management Manual
2. Air
Impacts: During project construction, on-site emissions will consist of fugitive dust and emissions from construction
equipment. There impacts are anticipated to be minor and largely confined near the site.
Short-term noise from construction equipment would occur between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The equipment and
construction of this project will meet federal, state, and local emissions and noise requirements; therefore no further
mitigation is recommended.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended
Nexus: N/A
3. Water
Impacts: The subject site abuts Lake Washington, which is a Shoreline of Statewide Significance. A Biological
Evaluation prepared by Anchor Environmental, LLC, dated May 2005 was submitted with the application. The
Biological Evaluation provides recommendations for the removal of in-water structures, temporary and permanent
erosion control measures, and beach construction.
The in-water pilings will be removed using a vibratory hammer mounted on a barge. A collar will be fastened around
the pile and the pile will be removed by vibrating it out of the sediments. When the pile is released from the sediment,
the vibratory hammer will be disengaged and the pile pulled from the water and placed on a barge until the piles are
transferred upland. Pilings that break during removal will be directly pulled with a clamshell bucket. The pilings will
either be reused or disposed of off-site in accordance with WAC 173-304.
A permanent line of toe rock will be installed on the landward side of the Inner Harbor line/property line and will
establish the new shoreline edge at OHWM. The toe rock line will also provide a permanent method of erosion control
for the subject site. Temporary measures to control erosion will consist of a combination of geotextiles and a graded
quarry rock (see section above under earth).
Approximately 3,500 cubic yards of sand and gravel will be imported for the construction of the beach. Imported beach
materials will include a relatively fine-grained sand/gravel mix (coarse sand up to 1-1/2 inch minus gravel) in the more

gently sloping south beach segment, and a coarser pea gravel to 1-1/2 inch minus gravel blend in the steeper north
beach segment.
At the north and south ends of the beach, rock "beach anchors" are proposed to contain the imported beach materials
and prevent longshore transport processes from moving beach materials into much steeper and deeper adjacent
areas, The beach anchors will be constructed of imported basalt quarry rock of varying size gradations, The rock will
be installed in two to three layers of different gradations to build a stable mass, The beach anchors will extend
approximately 20 feet out into the water. The proposal may result in some increased siltation and vibrations within
Lake Washington, Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure requiring the applicant to comply with the
recommendations found in the Biological Evaluation prepared by Anchor Environmental, LLC, dated May 2005.
Mitigation Measures:
The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the Biological Evaluation prepared by Anchor
Environmental, LLC, dated May 2005,
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations.
4. Noise
Impacts: The proposed project will result in some additional short-term noise impacts during demolition and
construction. The demolition of the existing structures will be accomplished by dismantling and carrying off the pieces
rather than by using wrecking eqUipment. The existing pavement will need to be broken apart before it can be hauled
away. Generally, noise impacts will come from the operation of the heavy construction equipment. Louder noises
from the jackhammers to be used to beak up the concrete will be temporary and of short duration.
The applicant indicates that all the construction noise impacts are anticipated to occur during daylight hours, No
unusual noise impacts are proposed, which would require further levels of mitigation.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended.
Nexus: N/A
5. Archeological and Cultural Resources
Impacts: The subject site was identified by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe as a high potential for archeological
discovery. However, until the early 1900s when Lake Washington was lowered by 9 feet, the subject site was under
water. In the event any potential cultural resources are found during excavation/construction, the contractor will be
instructed to stop work and contact the appropriate local and state officials and follow established protocol for culturally
significant resource finds.
Mitigation Measures:
In the event that archaeological deposits are found during construction, work shall stop and the contractor(s) shall
contact the State Archaeologist at the State of Washington Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, phone
(360) 586-3065; and the Muckleshoot Cultural Resources Program, phone (253) 939-3311.
Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations
D. MITIGATION MEASURES
1. The project will be required to comply with the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
outlined in Vol. 11 of the 2001 Stormwater Management Manual during construction,
2. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the Biological Evaluation prepared by Anchor
Environmental, LLC, dated May 2005.
3. In the event that archaeological deposits are found during construction, work shall stop and the contractor(s)

Dear Ms. Murphy:
Thank you for your letter dated September 29,2004 regarding the above-referenced
project. This particular project site was historically underwater until the early 1900s
when. the level of Lake Washington wasloweredby~pproximately nine feet. .
Additionally, the proposed fill tobe removed was originally plabed'on the subject site
betwe~n ~pproximately 1944 and 1957 for the operation of the Barbee Mill. Therefore,
we will not be reqUiring a study to be conducted in this particular instance.
However, the will apply a standard mitigation measure to the SEPA Determination that
should any archaeological deposits or human remains be encountered during the
project, construction will immediately cease and he will notify your office as·well as the
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. . .
Please feel free to contact me at 425-430-7219 should you have al")y questions
. regarding this letter. Thank you for your comments regarding the Barbee Mill
Restoration project.
Sincerely,

RE: Barbee Mill Shoreline Restoration Project
Dear Ms. Ding:
On behalf of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe's Cultural Resources Committee, I have reviewed the
infQrmation sent on September 15, 2005 regarding the proposed Barbee Mill Shoreline Restoration
Project and have the following comments. The Barbee Mill property is an area the Tribe has flagged as
high potential for archaeological discovery. There is a known village site at the mouth of May Creek
that was occupied at Treaty times. There has been a previous archaeological investigation at the Barbee
Mill, but the document and its recommendations are not mentioned in the SEP A checklist. In my
opinion, the SEP A checklist has not been adequately filled out.
The SEPAchecklist also lists an ACOE Section 404 permit that will be required for the project.
In the case offederal funds or permits, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and its
implementing regulations, 36CFR800, are triggered, and will need to be followed to determine if the
project will impact any historic properties. The Tribe's Cultural Program will expect to be contacted by
the Project Manager for the US Army Corps of Engineers for this project. If the Army Corps of
Engineers becomes the lead federal agency, the Tribe will consult with them directly for the project.
The Cultural Resources Program does not represent the Wildlife Program and the Fisheries
Program which are separate departments under the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe. Please contact these
departments for their input on this project.
We appreciate the effort to coordinate with the Muckleshoot Tribe prior to site preparation. The
destructive nature of construction excavation can often destroy a site and cause delays and unnecessary
expense for the contractor. If you have any questions, please contact me at 253-876-3272, or
laura.murphy@muckleshoot.nsn.us. Thank you for keeping the Tribe informed.

I've enclosed the submittal packages for a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SSDP)
exemption and for State Environmental Policy Act (SEP A) environmental review. As you
know, the Barbee Mill Company wishes to vacate an aquatic land lease that they have held with
the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) since the 1940s. Between
approximately 1944 and 1957, approximately 550 linear feet of uplands were created on the
waterward side of the Inner Harbor Line by filling behind a bulkhead. Lumber mill facilities
were built on this created upland. Overwater dock structures and associated piling were also
installed.
The Barbee Mill Company proposes to remove the mill and dock structures and restore the
created upland to aquatic habitat up to the Inner Harbor Line. A letter of support for this
project by the DNR is attached. We believe the SSDP exemption is appropriate because the
project meets two of the City of Renton's criteria for exemption:
• It is a watershed restoration project, consistent with the Watershed Restoration Plan for
WRIA 8, and endorsed by one of the WRIA 8 Steering Committee agencies.
• It is intended to improve fish habitat and fish passage.
While the project did not fall under a categorical exemption for SEPA, we hope that the nature
of the project and the support from DNR will allow for expedited review and approval. The
applicant wishes to begin work in November of this year.

Subject: Barbee Mill Restoration Plan for State-Owned Aquatic Lands
Dear Ms. Manolopoulos:
I am writing to express my support for the proposed Barbee Mill Restoration Project on
state-owned aquatic land (SOAL). The Barbee Forest Products, Inc. has operated
pursuant to an Aquatics Lands Lease from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
number 22-090004. According to the terms of the lease, DNR is requiring the removal
and disposal of all Lessee owned improvements located on the 17.17 acres of SOAL.
DNR has reviewed the proposed Barbee Mill Restoration Project, and offers the
following comments in support of the project.
The Department encourages moving forward with the objective to restore and enhance
fish and wildlife habitat on SOAL. The proposed project is consistent with the
termination requirements of the lease. Components of the project include:
1) Removing any and all structures, improvements, fixtures and refuse including,
but not limited to, the buildings, a timber bulkhead, fill materials (including
contaminated fill/media, if any) including soils, a pile supported timber pier,
tImber pilings, the log boom, and shoreline armoring;
2) Re-grading the shoreline to accommodate a gentler slope; and
3) Providing a stable beach substrate including a sand/gravel mix in the more
gently sloping areas, and a range of gravel sizes in more steeply sloping areas.
The restoration will provide components that create functional salmon habitat conditions,
such as a reduction of over water structures, naturally sloped shoreline, native vegetation,
large woody debris, and appropriate sized substrates. DNR strongly supports the Barbee
Mill Restoration Project, as it will restore significant habitat on SOAL along the
nearshore of Lake Washington.

11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of
the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe
certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead
agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project
description.)
The project site is on the southeastern shore of Lake Washington, just north of the mouth of May Creek
(Figure 1). The Barbee Mill is located on two parcels. One upland parcel is operated by the Barbee Mill Co.;
the other is aquatic land leased from the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources. This application
concerns only the aquatic parcel (photos 1 and 2).
The property is currently developed as a lumber mill. The mill ceased operations in the late 1990s. Between
approximately 1944 and 1957, approximately 550 linear feet of uplands were created on the waterward side of
the Inner Harbor Line. Most of this area is currently paved, and two fonner lumber mill buildings are located
within the lease area footprint (Figure 2, Photos 3 and 4).
The southern 300 linear feet of shoreline fIll is protected by a timber bulkhead. A 135-foot-Iong by 25-foot-
wide timber pier separates this area from the northern 225 feet of shoreline. Approximately 28 non-creosote
timber pilings (fonner boomsticks) on the south side of the pier delineate a former dock that has recently been
removed (photo 5).
The northern shoreline is steeply sloping and does not currently have a bulkhead, although a row of pilings
near the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) delineates a bulkhead that may have existed there historically
(photo 6). The leased area is currently used on an occasional basis for log rafting (photo 7).
Aquatic land that was historically converted to upland is proposed to be restored to a sand and gravel beach.
Restoration will be accomplished with the following steps:
• Demolition and removal of upland lumber mill facilities
• Removal of in-water structures (pilings and pier)
• Excavation of fIll soils to achieve sub grade elevations
• Installation of toe rock and quarry spall berm
• Importation of sand, gravel and rock materials for beach construction
Demolition of Upland Lumber Mill Facilities
The features to be removed are two fonner lumber mill buildings and asphalt paving. All demolition debris
will be loaded onto trucks and disposed of at appropriate upland facilities.
Removal of In-Water Structures'
The in-water structures to be removed include a wooden bulkhead, a timber piling-supported pier,
approximately 40 other stand-alone piling no longer associated with structures, log boom and associated
SEPA Checklist 2 June 15, 2005
piling, a log raft, and concrete and other debris along the shoreline. (The existing dolphin line on adjacent
aquatic lands owned by Barbee Mill will be retained.) Timber decking will be removed from the existing
wooden pier. Piling will be extracted using a vibratory hanuner mounted on a barge. A collar will be fastened
around the piling, and will pull up on. the piling while vibrating it out of the sediments. When the pile is
released from the sediment, the vibratory hanuner will be disengaged and the pile pulled from the water and
placed on a barge until it is transferred upland. Piling that break during removal will be directly pulled with a
clamshell bucket. Some of the untreated piling will be reused to provide large woody debris along the
shoreline. The remaining piling will be loaded on to the barge and disposed off-site in accordance with WAC
173-304.
Sediments attached to the outside of the pile will be allowed to fall back onto the lake bed. Resuspended
sediments (if any) are anticipated to settle back onto the lake bottom within a short period of time (from
several minutes to a few hours, depending on the specific sediment type, currents, and weather conditions).
Excavation of Fill Soils and Bulkhead Removal
Paved surfaces will be removed before soil excavation begins. Pavement will be broken using a tracked
excavator with a jackhanuner, and the asphalt fragments will be loaded onto trucks and disposed of at an
appropriate upland facility .
Fill soils will be excavated from behind tlle bulkhead. Excavation of fill soils will occur either from a barge-
mounted clamshell crane, or from the uplands using a track mounted excavator. All fill will be removed prior
to bulkhead removal to control erosion and turbidity. All excavated soils will be placed on-site in the upland
private property. Following completion of soil excavation, the bulkhead will be dismantled and untreated
timbers will be reused on the upland parcel. A relatively small number of creosote-treated piling associated
with the former de-barking facility at the mill will be disposed at a facility authorized to receive such
materials.
Installation of Toe Rock and Quarry Spall Berm
A permanent line of toe rock will be installed on the landward side of the Inner Harbor line/ property line.
The toe rock will consist of 900-1,200 pound individual stones which will be half buried. Toe rock will be
bedded in a 6-inch-mininlum layer of2-to-4-inch crushed rock. Approxllnately 12 inches of toe rock will be
exposed above the OHWM.
Temporary measures to control erosion above and on the landward side of tlle toe rock will employ
Construction Best Management Practices (Construction BMPs) and will consist of a combination of
geotextiles and a graded quarry rock (quarry spall) forming a protective berm. The temporary quarry spall
berm will extend 2 feet vertically above the toe rock and have a maximum slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
(2H: 1 V). The widtll of the berm will be a minimum of 4 feet, with an additional 2 feet of widtll for the toe
rock, for a total widtll of approximately 6 feet. The total height of tlle toe rock and berm will be
approximately 3 feet above tlle OHWM.
Importation of Sand. Gravel and Rock Materials for Beach Construction
The underlying soil will be graded to the appropriate slope before beach materials are overlaid. Finished
beach slopes will range from up to 20H:IV on the SOUtll beach segment, to 7.5H:IV on tlle norili segment.
These grades would vary in response to existing batllymetry and represent a range of slopes that are suitable
and desirable for nearshore habitat and recreational use on Lake Washington.
Imported beach materials will include a relatively fme-grained sand/gravel mix (coarse sand up to 1-1/2 inch
minus gravel) in tlle more gently sloping south beach segment, and a coarser pea gravel to 1-1/2 inch minus
gravel blend in the steeper norili beach segment.
SEP A Checklist 3 June 15, 2005
I
At the north and south ends of the beach, rock "beach anchors" are proposed to contain the imported beach
materials and prevent longshore transport processes from moVing beach materials into much steeper and
deeper adjacent areas. The beach anchors will be constructed of imported basalt quarry rock of varying size
gradations. The rock will be installed in two to three layers of different gradations to build a stable mass. The
beach anchors will extend approximately 20 ft out into the water (see Figure 3).
12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise
location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township,
range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or
boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity may, and topographic
map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you
are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications
related to this checklist.
The Barbee Mill site is on the southeastern shore of Lake Washington, just north of the mouth of May Creek
(Figure 1). The site is in Section 32, Township 24N, Range 5E~ Latitude 47.50 NlLongitude 1220 W.
The Barbee Mill is located on two parcels. One upland parcel is operated by the Barbee Mill Co.; the other
presently comprises upland and aquatic areas currently leased from the Washington State Dept. of Natural
Resources (DNR). This application concerns only tlle portion of the Barbee Mill site within the DNR lease
parcel (photos 1 and 2), with the exception of the quarry spall erosion control berm, which will be placed
upland of the leased parcel boundary.
TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT
B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of t~e site (circle one): ~, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
North of the bulkhead, the shoreline grade declines within Lake Washington at up to an approximate 10
percent slope.
c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)?
If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland.
The soil behind the bulkhead is clean fill. The substrate waterward of the bulkhead consists of silty sand.
Sediment dredging and cleanup activities were completed by the Barbee Mill Company in summer/fall 2002
under the Voluntary Cleanup Program, with input from Ecology, and in accordance with applicable local,
state, and federal permits. Soils and sediments in the area meet State Model Toxics Control Act cleanup
standards. Contaminants in the area prior to cleanup were related to accumulated wood debris from the
lumber mill.
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
There is no known history of unstable soils, nor are there surface indications of any problem. The site does is
SEPA Checklist 4 June 15, 2005
not designated as a landslide hazard area on the King County Sensitive Areas Ordinance map.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
The site will be graded to fonn a beach habitat that mimics natural conditions. Clean soil excavated during
grading will be reused upland.
f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe.
Erosion could occur during grading and pavement removal, and after construction from wave action.
Measures to prevent erosion are described in (h) below.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)?
None of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces. Approximately 28,140 ft2 of paved suiface will be
removed as a result of construction.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth if any:
For long-tenn erosion control, a pennanent line of toe rock will be installed on the landward side of the Inner
Harbor line/ property line. The toe rock will consist of 900-1,200 pound individual stones which will be half
buried. Toe rock will be bedded in a 6-inch-minimum layer of 2-to-4-inch crushed rock. Approximately 12
inches of toe rock will be exposed above the OHWM.
Temponuy measures to control erosion above and on the landward side of the toe rock will employ
Construction Best Management Practices (Construction BMPs) and will consist of a combination of
geotextiles and a graded quarry rock (quarry spall) forming a protective benn. The temponuy quarry spall
berm will extend 2 feet vertically above the toe rock and have a maximum slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
(2H: 1 V). The width of the benn will be a minimum of 4 feet, with an additional 2 feet of width for the toe
rock, for a total width of approximately 6 feet. The total height of the toe rock and benn will be
approximately 3 feet above the OHWM.
2. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors,
industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any,
generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Emissions to the air would be temporary and would come from heavy equipment such as the excavator, and
possibly dust from soil removal. The soil is expected to be moist due to its proximity to the lake, and
therefore soil dust is not anticipated to be a concern.
b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so,
generally describe.
There are no off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect this proposal.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
SEPA Checklist 5 June 15, 2005
I
Equipment used at the site will meet King County emission requirements. Equipment will be inspected
regularly to ensure that uncontrolled emissions do not occur.
3. Water
a. Surface
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round
and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide
names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
Work will be done in-water in Lake Washington. The project site includes an upland area of state-owned
land that is part of Lake Washington. The site will be restored to aquatic land, and existing in-water structures
extending beyond the created upland area will also be removed.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described
waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
The entire project will occur over, in, and adjacent to Lake Was!lington (see Section A.ll for a complete
description ofa11 project elements).
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from
surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the
source of fill material.
Approximately 8,500 cubic yards will be removed from behind the bulkhead before the bulkhead is
demolished. The area affected is approximately 0.55 acre. Approximately 3,500 cubic yards of sand and
gravel will be placed during beach construction, and approximately 700 cubic yards of rock will be placed as
toe rock. '
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description,
purpose, and approximate quantities if known. .
The proposal will not require surface water withdrawals or diversions.
5) Does the proposal lie within a Un-year floodplain? If so, note location on the site plan.
The site does not lie within a 100-year floodplain. While it is on a lakeshore, the water level is regulated by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe
the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge.
The proposal does not involve the discharge of any waste materials to surface waters.
b. Ground:
1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
No groundwater will be withdrawn, and no water will be discharged to groundwater.
SEPA Checklist 6 June 15, 2005
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other
sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the foUowing chemicals .•
. ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the
number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the
system(s) are expected to serve.
No waste material will be discharged into the ground.
c. Water Runoff (including storm water):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if
any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other
waters? If so, describe.
The fmished project will be a beach and stormwater will infIltrate or sheet flow into Lake Washington.
During construction, silt curtains will be used to prevent any turbid runoff from entering the lake.
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe.
Debris could fall into the lake during demolition. A containment boom and silt curtains will prevent debris
from floating out of the immediate area, and debris that sinks to the bottom will be picked up and properly
disposed of before the beach substrate is graded.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any:
Conservation measures to control temporary turbidity include:
• All work will be conducted within the approved timing windows for listed species in this area of Lake
Washington, which extends from July 16 to December 31.
• If a barge is used, it will remain in adequate water depths to prevent grounding.
• An emergency spill containment kit will be located on-site and promptly used for cleanup of
accidental spills.
• A silt curtain and floating boom will be deployed during all demolition activities. All floating debris
will be removed at the end of every work day. Fallen debris will be retrieved prior to grading the
beach slopes.
4. Plants
a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site:

wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bullrush, skunk cabbage, ~the~ (Iris pseudocaris, a
non-native iris)
water plants: water lily, eelgrass, Wlfoiij, other (the presence of milfoil has not been
confmned but it is likely to be there.)
7 June 15, 2005
other types of vegetation
b. What kind and amount of vegetation will be removed or altered?
A small amount of grass and Iris pseudocaris will be removed. Some Eurasian milfoil may be removed
wateIWard of the bulkhead as well. Eurasian milfoil is an invasive, non-native species and removal is
desirable.
c. List threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site.
No threatened or endangered vegetation species are known to exist on or near the site.
d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other measures to preserve or enhance
vegetation on the site, if any:
None proposed, the OHWM delineates the extent of the proposed project area so upland vegetation is not
included.
5. Animals
a. Circle any birds and animals which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be
on or near the site:
birds: aw ero, ~ ~ongbird~, other: osprey, connorant, domestic quail
mammals: dee ,bear, elk, beaver, other:
fish: ~, aImo, ~routj, herring, shellfish, other: black crappie, bluegill,
pumpkinseed sunfish, tench, and yellow perch
b. List any threatened or endangered species known to be on or near the site.
Puget Sound chinook salmon, bull trout, and bald eagles (two nests approximately 0.65 mile from the site on
the opposite shore).
c. Is the site part of a migration route? If so, explain.
The site is part of the Pacific Flyway, a major north-south seasonal migration route for many bird species.
d. Proposed measures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any:
The applicant has coordinated with WDFW regarding an osprey nest near the site. To avoid impacts, the nest
will be relocated to an area nearby, but not as close to the activity, before construction begins.
The proposed restoration was designed to be consistent with Water Resource Inventory Area (WRlA) 8
Conservation Plim recommendations. It provides nearshore habitat that is scarce in the project vicinity due to
extensive shoreline modifications. This habitat is especially valuable to salmon fry (up to 40 mm length) for
winter rearing.
Where upland will be converted to aquatic land, the bottom substrate will consist of the gravels favorable to
nearshore rearing habitat. The new gravel substrate will provide habitat for benthic invertebrates, which will
likely attract juvenile salmonids. The shallower water will provide protection for juveniles from larger
predators. The gently sloping bottom mimics natural conditions in the littoral (nearshore) zone, distinguishing
SEPA Checklist 8 June 15, 2005
it from the more sharply dropping limnetic (water column) zone, both of which are used by salmonids for
different life history stages.
According to the WRIA 8 Steering Committee, this section of Lake Washington is a high priority for
restoration projects, ranking second out of the five lake sections defined ill their Proposed Lake
Washington/Cedar River/Sammamish Watershed Conservation Plan released in February 2005.
6. Energy and Natural Resources
a. What kinds of energy (electric, natural gas, oil, wood stove, solar) will be used to meet the
completed project's energy needs? Describe whether it will be used for heating, manufacturing,
etc.

b. Would your project affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties? H so,
generally describe.
The project will not affect the potential use of solar energy by adjacent properties.
c. What kinds of energy conservation features are included in the plans of this proposal? List
other proposed measures to reduce or control energy impacts, if any:
Equipment used in construction will meet applicable efficiency and emissions standards.
7. Environmental Health
a. . Are there any environmental health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, risk of fire
and explosion, spill, or hazardous waste, that could occur as a result of this proposal? H so,
describe.
Both soils and sediments in the project area have been characterized through environmental sanlpling
programs, and have been determined to be composed of clean (below State Model Toxics Control Act cleanup
standards) silt and sand materials. Sediment dredging/cleanup actions in the area were completed by the
Barbee Mill Company in summer/fall 2002 under the Voluntary Cleanup Program, with input from the
Washington Department of Ecology, and in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal permits.
1) Describe special emergency services that might be required.
There are no unusual risks associated with this proposal. The construction foreman will have emergency
medical contact numbers and directions to the nearest hospital.
2) Proposed measures to reduce or control environmental health hazards, if any:
Voluntary cleanup has already taken place as described in 7(a) above.
b. Noise
1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: traffic
equipment, operation, other)?
SEP A Checklist 9 June 15, 2005
The project area is a former saw mill. Limited industrial operations continue to occur at the adjacent Quendall
Terminals parcel to the north. There are no known sources of noise in the area that will affect the proposed
project.
2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a short-
term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? Indicate what
hours noise would come from the site.
There will be some noise during construction, more so during the demolition phase. The demolition will be
accomplished by dismantling and carrying off the pieces rather than by wrecking equipment. Pavement will
need to be broken apart before it is hauled away. Generally, noise will come from heavy equipment operation.
Louder noises such as jackhammers will be temporary and of short duration.
3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any:
Construction will take place during daylight hours. No unusual noise impacts are anticipated that would
require further measures of control.

Re: Barbee Mill Shoreline Restoration Project Environmental Review
Lake Washington Ordinary High Water Mark Reconnaissance Report
The City of Renton Municipal Code 4-8-120D requires that shoreline data are needed for
environmental review of the Barbee Mill Shoreline Restoration project. The Barbee Mill parcel
(No. 3224056666) is located on the east shoreline of Lake Washington in the City of Renton, east
of Seattle, Washington (Figure 1). In this study, the lake shore was evaluated and the location
of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) was recorded. Because the proposed project is self-
mitigating, mitigation performance standards, monitoring, and plans are not discussed here.
A site visit was conducted by biologists on August 22, 2005 to evaluate the substrate, plant, and
animal communities present in the parceL In most places on the north end of the parcel, asphalt
is present and extends waterward to approximately the OHWM. Waterward of the asphalt,
rip rap and quarry spall rock substrate dominate, extending into the water. On the south end of
the parcel, either treated wood or concrete bulkheads form the shoreline, with some riprap and
quarry spall present in places. A top view and typical cross-section of the lake bed are provided
in Attachment A.
Vegetative cover on the lake banks is sparse and disturbed due to the presence of the asphalt
and rock substrate, and is composed chiefly of pioneer and weedy species. Dominant bank
vegetation includes reed canary grass (Phalaris arul1dil1acea), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus
discolor), and common rush UUI1CUS effusus); also present are birds foot trefoil (Lotus comiculatus)
and dock (Rumex spp)., among others. There were no fish or wildlife observed on the site visit;

prep.ared for the site (Anchor 2005). The location of the OHWM was marked along the shoreline
',~, of the parcel using yellow numbered pin flags and was recorded using a Trimble Differential
=.,(
'GIgpaJPbsitioning System (DGPS). The OHWM and vegetated areas are illustrated on Figure 2.
For this figure, the locations of the five southern-most DGPS points were determined relative to
building location because these DGPS precision is limited in close proximity to buildings and
overhead structures.
This memorandum is intended to provide shoreline data necessary to support environmental
review, under the requirements given in Renton Municipal Code 4-8-1200. If needed,
additional details can be obtained from Kristin Noreen at (206)287-9130 or

• Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION
The Barbee Mill Company has operated a lumber mill on the shore of Lake Washington for 40
years (Figure 1). The Barbee Mill facilities are built partially on leased aquatic land owned by
the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The leased aquatic land was
converted to upland by filling the area behind a constructed bulkhead approximately 45 years
ago.
In the late 1990s, the lumber mill closed and the Barbee Mill Company now wishes to vacate the
DNR aquatic land lease by removing all structures within the leased area. The Barbee Mill
Company proposes to remove the fill behind the bulkhead, then remove the bulkhead and
piling, and construct a beach habitat conducive to use by salmon and other native fish. Figure 2
shows proposed conditions with an overlay of existing conditions.
This Biological Evaluation (BE) examines the effects of the Barbee Mill Beach Restoration project
on listed, proposed, and candidate anadromous fish and wildlife species that may occur in the
project area, pursuant to Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Species
addressed are listed below in Table 1.

Project Description
2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of removing existing structures and fill, and constructing a beach to mimic
natural conditions. The project will be accomplished in the following steps, detailed in Section
2.3.1-Construction Methods:
• Demolition and removal of upland lumber mill facilities
• Removal of in-water structures (piling and pier)
• Excavation of fill soils to achieve subgrade elevations
• Installation of toe rock and quarry spall berm
• Importation of sand, gravel, and rock materials for beach construction
The following structures will be removed:
• Two lumber mill buildings
• Approximately 28,000 square feet (ft2) of asphalt paving
• 3,375 ft2 wooden pier
• Log boom and associated piling
• Approximately 40 other timber piling
• Approximately 8,500 cubic yards of fill soil
• 300 linear feet of timber bulkhead
• Concrete rubble and other shoreline debris
The following features will be placed at the site:
• Permanent toe rock at the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM)
• Temporary quarry spall erosion control berm
• Approximately 525 linear feet of sand and gravel beach
• Approximately 0.6 acre of shallow-water aquatic habitat
2.1 Project Setting
The project site is on the southeastern end of Lake Washington, just north of the mouth of
May Creek (see Figure 1). The shoreline in the area is generally armored with bulkheads
from just north of the site down to the southern end of the lake. The Quendall Terminal lies
north of the mill site, and residential development extends to the south, including
houseboats along most of the shoreline.

Project Description
The project site is adjacent to and contiguous with upland property operated by the Barbee
Mill Company, which is also part of the lumber mill site. This BE mainly addresses
activities on the aquatic land parcel. The only activities that will take place landward of the
DNR property line are placement of excavated fill, placement of a single line of permanent
toe rock, and placement and removal of the temporary quarry spall berm for erosion
protection.
On the waterward side of the Inner Harbor Line, 550 linear feet of uplands have been
created. Most of this area is paved, and two former lumber mill buildings are located within
the lease area footprint (see Figure 2).
The southern 300 linear feet of shoreline fill is protected by a timber bulkhead. A 135-foot-
long by 25-foot-wide timber pier separates this area from the northern 225 feet of shoreline.
Approximately 28 timber piling on the south side of the pier delineate a former dock that
has recently been removed.
The northern shoreline is steeply sloping and does not currently have a bulkhead, although
a row of piling near the OHWM indicates that a bulkhead may have existed there
historically.
2.2 Project History
The Barbee Mill Company lumber mill operated on the shoreline of Lake Washington from
the 1950s to the 1990s. To accommodate water-dependent activities such as docking and log
rafting, piers were built over the water in the aquatic land area leased from DNR. A
bulkhead was placed in the water at approximately elevation 15 feet (NA VD 88 Datum),
and fill was placed behind the bulkhead to create additional upland area.
The mill closed in 1998 and the Barbee Mill Company plans to vacate their DNR aquatic
land lease. Barbee has planned a restoration project that provides high-quality shoreline
habitat and a setting compatible with redevelopment of the adjacent uplands.
Sediment dredging/cleanup actions in the area were completed by the Barbee Mill Company
in summer/fall 2002 under the Voluntary Cleanup Program in coordination with the

Project Description
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), and in accordance with applicable local,
state, and federal permits.
The proposed Barbee Mill Beach Restoration project is adjacent to the May Creek restoration
area (Mouth of May Creek) included in the Proposed Lake Washington/Cedar River/Sammamish
Watershed Conservation Plan, by the WRlA 8 Steering Committee, King County Department
of Natural Resources (KCDNR 2005a). The mouth of May Creek restoration is listed as a
recommended restoration action in Volume 2 of the Conservation Plan. General plan
recommendations include:
• Reduce bank hardening by replacing bulkheads and riprap with sandy beaches with
gentle slopes designed to maximize littoral areas with a depth of less than 1 meter.
• Reconnect and enhance small creek mouths as juvenile rearing areas. Historically
these small creeks had sandy deltas at the creek mouth and were associated with
wetland complexes.
• Begin restoration efforts with lake segments at the southern end of the lake, near the
mouth of the Cedar River, along with other high priority reaches along the southern
shore of Mercer Island and in Union Bay at the entrance to the Ship Canal.
The Barbee Mill Beach Restoration is consistent with the objectives of the Proposed Lake
Washington/Cedar River/Sammamish Watershed Conservation Plan.
2.3 Construction
Restoration will be accomplished with the following steps:
• Demolition and removal of upland lumber mill facilities
• Removal of in-water structures (piling and pier)
• Excavation of fill soils to achieve subgrade elevations
• Installation of toe rock and quarry spall berm
• Importation of sand, gravel and rock materials for beach construction

associated piling, a log raft, and concrete and other debris along the shoreline.
Bulkhead, pavement, and piling removal are described in detail below. All
demolition debris will be loaded onto barges or trucks and disposed of at
appropriate upland waste handling facilities.,
2.3.1.2 In-Water Structure and Piling Removal
Timber decking will be removed from the existing wooden pier. Piling will be
extracted using a vibratory hammer mounted on a barge. A collar will be fastened
around the pile and the pile will be removed by vibrating it out of the sediments.
When the pile is released from the sediment, the vibratory hammer will be
disengaged and the pile pulled from the water and placed on a barge until the piles
are transferred upland. Piling that break during removal will be directly pulled with
a clamshell bucket. The piling will either be reused or disposed of off-site in
accordance with WAC 173-304.
2.3.1.3 Excavation of Fill Soils and Bulkhead Removal
Paved surfaces will be removed before excavation begins. Pavement will be broken
using a track-mounted excavator with a jackhammer, and the asphalt fragments will
be loaded onto trucks for disposal at an appropriate upland facility.
Fill soils will be excavated from behind the bulkhead, then the bulkhead will be
dismantled and hauled away to an appropriate upland facility. Excavation of fill
soils will occur either from a barge-mounted clamshell crane, or from the uplands
using a track mounted excavator. All fill will be removed prior to bulkhead removal
to control erosion and turbidity. All excavated soils will be placed on the adjacent
upland private property.
2.3.1.4 Installation of Toe Rock and Quarry Spall Berm
A permanent line of toe rock will be installed on the landward side of the Inner
Harbor line/property line and will establish the new shoreline edge at OHW. The
toe rock will consist of 900 -1,200 pound individual stones which will be half buried.
Toe rock will be bedded in a 6-inch-minimum layer of 2-to-4-inch crushed rock.
Approximately 12 inches of toe rock will be exposed above the OHWM.

Project Description
Temporary measures to control erosion above and on the landward side of the toe
rock will employ Construction Best Management Practices (Construction BMPs) and
will consist of a combination of geotextiles and a graded quarry rock (quarry spall)
forming a protective berm. The temporary quarry spall berm will extend 2 feet
vertically above the toe rock and have a maximum slope of 2H:1V. The width of the
berm will be a minimum of 4 feet, with an additional 2 feet of width for the toe rock,
for a total width of approximately 6 feet. The total height of the toe rock and berm
will be approximately 3 feet above the OHWM.
2.3.1.5 Importation of Sand, Gravel and Rock Materials for Beach Construction
The underlying soil will be graded to the appropriate slope before beach materials
are overlaid. Finished beach slopes will range from 20H:1V on the south beach
segment, to 7.5H:1V on the north segment. These grades would vary in response to
existing bathymetry and represent a range of slopes that is suitable and desirable for
nearshore habitat and recreational use on Lake Washington.
Imported beach materials will include a finer-grained sand/gravel mix (coarse sand
up to 1-1/2 inch minus gravel) in the more gently sloping south beach segment, and a
coarser pea gravel to 1-1/2 inch minus gravel blend in the steeper north beach
segment.
At the north and south ends of the beach, rock "beach anchors" are proposed to
contain the imported beach materials and prevent longshore transport from moving
imported beach materials into much steeper and deeper adjacent areas. The beach
anchors will be constructed of imported basalt quarry rock of varying size
gradations. The rock will be installed in two to three layers of different gradations to
build a stable mass. The beach anchors will extend approximately 20 feet out into
the water (see Figure 2).

Project Description
2.3.1.6 Future Revegetation
No planting is proposed below the OHWM. Shoreline revegetation landward of this
line would be performed as part of a separate upland redevelopment action and
permit.
2.3.2 Conservation Measures
Conservation measures that will be used to avoid environmental impacts during fill
excavation, bulkhead removal, and piling removal include:
• All work will be conducted within the approved timing windows for listed
species in this area of Lake Washington, which extends from July 16 to December
31 annually.
• A silt curtain and/or debris boom will be deployed where possible to contain silt
or debris that may enter the lake during demolition activities. The silt curtain
and/or debris boom will be checked prior to and during construction to ensure
that it is functioning properly.
• All debris that is removed from the project area will be disposed of offsite in an
approved upland disposal area.
• If a barge is used, it will remain in adequate water depths to avoid grounding.
• An emergency spill containment kit will be located on site and promptly used for
clean up of accidental spills.
• Any creosote-treated material, pile stubs, and associated sediments will be
disposed of by the contractor in a landfill that meets the liner and leachate
standards of the Minimum Functional Standards, Chapter 173-304 WAC.
• Creosote-treated piling, stubs, and associated sediments (if any) will be
contained on a barge. The storage area will consist of a row of hay or straw
bales, or filter fabric, placed around the perimeter of the barge. (Only a small
number of piling to be removed are treated.)
• Timber piling that break or are already broken below the waterline will be
removed with a clamshell bucket. To minimize disturbance to bottom sediments
and splintering of piling, the contractor will use the minimum size bucket
required to pull out piling based on pile depth and substrate. The clamshell
bucket will be emptied of piling and debris on a contained barge before it is
lowered into the water. If the bucket contains only sediment, the bucket will

remain closed and be lowered to the mudline and opened to redeposit the
sediment.
• A containment boom surrounding the work area will be used during creosote-
treated timber pile removal. The boom will collect any floating debris. Oil-
absorbent materials will be employed if a visible sheen is observed. The boom
will remain in place until all oily material and floating debris have been collected
and sheens have dissipated. Used oil-absorbent materials will be disposed of in
a landfill that meets the liner and leachate standards of the Minimum Functional
Standards, Chapter 173-304 WAC.
• Any floating debris in ~e containment boom shall be removed by the end of the
work day or when the boom is removed, whichever comes first. Captured
material shall be disposed of in an upland disposal site.
• The Barbee Mill Company will comply with water quality restrictions imposed
by Ecology (Chapter 173-201A WAC), which specifies a mixing zone beyond
which water quality standards cannot be exceeded. Compliance with Ecology's
standards is intended to ensure that fish and aquatic life are being protected to
the extent feasible and practical.
• The Barbee Mill Company will obtain Hydraulic Project Approval (HP A) from
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and adhere to all
conditions of the HP A.
Additional conservation measures that will be used during gravel beach construction
include:
• Gravel to be placed along the beach will be washed off site prior to placement to
eliminate the potential for increased temporary turbidity.
• Any stockpiled material in the upland will be covered to minimize the potential
for material to enter the water.
2.4 Project Schedule
The project is planned to begin in autumn 2005 or summer 2006 and will be completed
during the approved in-water work window. The work will take about 6 weeks to
complete.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE
3.1 Action Area
The action area is the area directly and indirectly affected by the project and includes the
project area plus the aquatic area extending from the existing bulkhead out to the edge of
the 150-foot water quality mixing zone determined by Ecology to comply with state water
quality standards (WAC 173-201A-llO).
3.2 Physical Indicators
3.2.1 Substrate, Slope, and Depth
Subst~ates in the project area consist of clean silt and sand. Currently the shoreline
drops abruptly from the bulkhead to approximately 5 feet of water depth. This
shoreline is altered from its natural condition. Water depth in Lake Washington is
regulated by the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. The water depth fluctuates no more than
2 feet throughout the year. During the winter months, the lake level is lowered 2 feet
from OHW of 18.67 feet to Ordinary Low Water (OLW) of 16.67 feet (NGVD). Draw-
down is very gradual beginning in July and reaches the low between October and
December. OLW is maintained through the wet season and potential flood periods.
Water levels in Lake Washington are increased in mid-February, reaching OHW by June
(USACE 2001).
3.2.2 Salt/Freshwater Mixing
Lake Washington is a freshwater lake. Saltwater intrusion through the Lake
Washington Ship Canal is limited by the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, which restrict
saltwater backflow.
3.3 Chemical Indicators
3.3.1 Water Quality
Lake Washington water quality varies depending on location and is monitored by King
County at various locations around the lake. The closest monitoring station to the
project area is located at Newcastle Beach to the north, and is part of the county's
swimming beach monitoring program. Monitoring data from 2004 shows slightly
elevated levels of fecal coliform and e. coli bacteria in the summer months, with one very

high reading in July (KCDNR 2005b). Lake Washington is listed on Ecology's 303(d) List
of Impaired and Threatened Waterbodies for fecal coliform exceedances (Ecology 1998).
3.3.2 Sediment Quality
Sediment dredging and cleanup activities were completed by the Barbee Mill Company
in summer/fall 2002 under the Voluntary Cleanup Program, with input from Ecology,
and in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal permits. Soils and sediments
in the area meet State Model Toxics Control Act cleanup standards. Contaminants in the
area prior to cleanup were related to accumulated wood debris from the lumber mill.
3.4 Biological Indicators
3.4.1 Riparian Vegetation
Riparian vegetation is generally absent in the project area. The shoreline behind the
bulkhead is paved. Where the shoreline is not paved, there is vegetation including soft
rush Uuncus effusus) and Iris pseudocaris, a non-native iris.
3.4.2 Prey Species
Studies in 1999 to 2000 investigating juvenile chinook salmon rearing in the littoral zone
of Lake Washington found that fish primarily consumed insects from the family
Chironomidae (Dipterans -flies), but switch to the planktonic crustacean Daphnia spp. in
late spring (Koehler 2002). Other prey resources include various benthic and epibenthic
invertebrates that are consumed frequently but in lesser quantities than chironomids
and Daphnia. In comparisons of various shoreline developments, prey abundances were
highly variable in the presence of shoreline modifications, but specific effects of those
modifications were difficult to quantify. In addition, fine organic (mud) substrates along
the shoreline (outside of the project and action area) produced significantly higher
abundances of chironomid larvae than sand substrates. Koehler (2002) concluded that
quality habitat for important chinook prey resources included fine organic (mud)
substrates in undisturbed littoral zones. In the proposed project area, chinook salmon
prey abundance is expected to be low due to the presence of the bulkhead and
corresponding lack of shoreline vegetation, and the recent sediment cleanup activities in
which wood debris was removed from the bottom.

3.4.3 Aquatic Vegetation
Growth of aquatic vegetation was discouraged in the past by wood debris on the
bottom. The wood debris was cleaned up in 2002. It is not known whether vegetation
has colonized the area since the 2002 dredging, however, if vegetation is present, it is
likely to be Eurasian milfoil, a non-native invasive species that has choked out much of
the native aquatic vegetation in Lake Washington (KCDNR 2003).

Species Occurrence, Effects Antis, and Effects Determination
4 SPECIES OCCURRENCE, EFFECTS ANALYSIS, AND EFFECTS
DETERMINATION
Resident and anadromous juvenile and adult salmonids use Lake Washington. Specific species
using the lake include chinook, coho, sockeye, cutthroat and rainbow/steelhead trout. Pink and
chum salmon were historically abundant in the lake system, but now are considered extinct in
the watershed (GLWTC 2001). Other fish species found in Lake Washington include black
crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, tench, and yellow
perch (KCDNR 2003).
The listed species under National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) jurisdiction that potentially
occurs in the project vicinity is chinook salmon (Appendix A). The identified Evolutionary
Significant Unit (ESU) for chinook salmon includes all naturally spawned populations from
rivers and streams flowing into Puget Sound. Species under U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) jurisdiction potentially occurring in the project area include bald eagles, bull trout,
and marbled murrelet.
4.1 Puget Sound Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
4.1.1 Status
Puget Sound chinook are listed as threatened by the NMFS. The status of each stock of
chinook salmon that are present in the Lake Washington watershed has been
determined by WDFW et al. (1993), based on at least one of the following parameters:
escapement, run size, survival, or fitness levels. The Cedar River stock status is
unknown; however, the Muckleshoot Tribe believes that this stock is depressed (WDFW
et al. 1993). The Issaquah Creek stock was classified as healthy based on post-spawning
carcass counts (WDFW et al. 1993). The stock status for the North Lake Washington
tributaries is unknown due to a lack of consistent spawning ground data. However, all
the tributaries used by this stock have been intensely urbanized, which masks the
natural population limiting factors of low summer stream flow and poor spawning
gravel quality. The Lake Washington chinook stock is now considered depressed (City
of Seattle 1998). Based on the 1987 to 1996 adult returns, each of the three Lake
Washington stocks has shown a steep downward trend (Paron and Nelson 2001).

4.1.2 Critical Habitat
On December 14, 2004, NMFS published proposed rules for designating critical habitat
for 13 ESUs of Pacific salmon and steelhead in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho (NMFS
2004). This designation includes the Puget Sound ESU of chinook salmon, which is
currently listed as threatened under the ESA. Critical habitat is designated for areas
containing the physical and biological habitat features, or primary constituent elements
(PCEs) essential for the conservation of the species or that require special management
considerations. PCEs include sites that are essential to supporting one or more life
stages of the ESU and that contain physical or biological features essential to the
conservation of the ESU. Specific sites and features designated for Puget Sound chinook
include the following:
1. Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity and quality conditions and
substrate supporting spawning incubation and larval development.
2. Freshwater rearing sites with water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form
and maintain physical habitat conditions and support juvenile growth, and
mobility; water quality and forage supporting juvenile development; and natural
cover such as shade, submerged and overhanging large wood, log jams and
beaver dams, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels, and
undercut banks.
3. Freshwater migration corridors free of obstruction with water quantity and
quality conditions and natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large
wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels, and undercut
banks supporting juvenile and adult mobility and survival.
4. Estuarine areas free of obstruction with water quality, water quantity, and
salinity conditions supporting juvenile and adult physiological transitions
between fresh-and saltwater; natural cover such as submerged and overhanging
large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, and side channels; and
juvenile and adult forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting
growth and maturation.
5. 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 boulders, and side channels.

Species Occurrence, Effects Ana., and Effects Determination
The critical habitat proposal for Puget Sound chinook includes 61 occupied watersheds
in 18 associated subbasins, as well as 19 nearshore marine zones. In setting this
designation, the conservation value of each habitat area was considered in the context of
the productivity, spatial distribution, and diversity of habitats across the range of five
geographical regions of correlated risk. In estuarine areas, the in-shore extent is defined
by the line of extreme high water. The proposed offshore extends to the depth of 30
meters (98 feet) relative to mean lower low water (MLL W).
The project area falls within Unit 10, the Lake Washington Subbasin. Two historically
independent chinook populations exist in this subbasin: North Lake Washington and
Cedar River (69 Fed Reg. 74587). Lake Washington provides rearing and migration
PCEs for salmon spawned in tributary streams.
4.1.3 Biology and Distribution
Monitoring conducted by the WDFW on the Cedar River discovered two groups of
naturally produced chinook enter the lake: fry and smolts (Seiler 1999, as cited in
GLWTC 2001). Chinook fry (40 millimeter [mm] average) enter Lake Washington from
mid-January through mid-April where they reside and rear. The most important area
used by the fry while rearing in the lake is the littoral zone (less than 27 feet deep).
Surveys of both the limnetic and littoral zones of Lake Washington have indicated that
chinook (0 to 12 months old) occupy the littoral zone from early February through late
May (Tabor et al. 2002). Chinook fry typically prefer areas that are gently sloping with
small-grained substrates as well as areas around creek mouths and undeveloped
shorelines (Tabor as cited in GLWTC 2001). In 2002, Tabor et al. also observed a higher
abundance of juvenile chinook at a boat ramp than at nearby gravel/silt/mud sites at
Beer Sheva Park in south Lake Washington. Chinook smolts (60 to 100 mm) typically
enter the lake from May through June and migrate rapidly through the lake en route to
the marine environment. Therefore, chinook fry are more dependent on littoral habitats
in the lake for growth and refuge than smolts.
In the project area, juvenile chinook are expected to use the shallow water for migrating
and rearing. Juvenile salmonids are heavily reliant on shallow water habitats during

their periods of residence (20 days to several months) in the lake (Fresh 2000; Koehler
2002). Areas most heavily utilized by juvenile chinook salmon exhibited shallow
gradients, overhanging vegetation, and small substrates, and were not highly developed
(Tabor et al. 2002). In addition, juvenile chinook salmon abundance was correlated with
proximity to the mouth of the Cedar River (Tabor et al. 2002). All of this information
indicates that the proposed restoration site at Rainier Beach Park is well positioned
within the landscape to provide needed juvenile salmonid habitat in an area where
favorable habitat attributes can be restored (Anchor 2003).
Adult chinook return to Lake Washington between mid-June and October, with
spawning in their natal river or tributary occurring between mid-September and mid-
December (Paron and Nelson 2001). Spawning has been documented along the
shoreline of other lake systems (Healey 1991); however, no confirmed spawning events
have been documented in the littoral zone of Lake Washington.
4.1.4 Direct and Indirect Effects
Potential direct and indirect effects to Puget Sound chinook salmon from the proposed
beach restoration project are related to the physical, chemical, and biological indicators
described in Section 3.
4. 1.4. 1 Physical Indicators
Substrate, Slope, and Depth
The existing substrate will not change. Where upland will be converted to aquatic
land, the bottom substrate will consist of the gravels favorable to nearshore rearing
habitat. The new gravel substrate will provide habitat for benthic invertebrates,
which will likely attract juvenile salmonids. The shallower water will provide
protection for juveniles from larger predators. The gently sloping bottom mimics
natural conditions in the littoral (nearshore) zone, distinguishing it from the more
sharply dropping limnetic (water column) zone, both of which are used by
salmonids for different life history stages (KCDNR 2003).

Salt/Freshwater Mixing
Saltwater intrusion is limited by the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, miles away from
the project area. This project will not affect the salt/freshwater interface.
4.1.4.2 Chemical Indicators
Water Quality
Temporary turbidity could occur during construction. Conservation measures
described in Section 2.3.2 will be implemented to minimize turbidity. This effect is
short-lived, and the silt curtain will prevent fish from entering the turbid area.
Sediments attached to the outside of the piling fall back to the lake bed in a short
period of time (from several minutes to a few hours, depending on the sediment
type, currents, and weather conditions).
Removal of creosote-treated piling will improve long-term water quality at the site.
Only a small number of piling associated with the former debarking facility are
treated.
Sediment Quality
Sediments in the area are already clean, as described in Section 3.3.2. This project
will add the gravel substrate needed by juvenile salmonids that has largely been
eliminated from the area by shoreline alterations, resulting in an improvement to
sediment quality.
Removal of creosote-treated piling will improve the sediment quality of the areas
surrounding the piling. Only a small number of piling associated with the former
debarking facility are treated.
4.1.4.3 Biological Indicators
Riparian Vegetation
Riparian vegetation is currently absent from the site due to the paved shoreline. The
project plans for a gently sloping gravel beach up to the OHWM. Upland planting is
planned as part of the adjacent, subsequent development project, but is not part of
the scope of the Beach Restoration project.

Prey Species
Benthic invertebrates are expected to colonize the gravel substrate below the OL WM.
While it is difficult quantify an increase in prey availability, the continuity of beach
to nearshore habitat will be restored, so some benefit is expected. Prey availability
will not be decreased by this project, and is likely to increase.
Aquatic Vegetation
Native aquatic vegetation in Lake Washington has been choked out by explosive
growth of Eurasian milfoil (KCDNR 2003). Until milfoil is controlled throughout the
lake, a change in the composition of aquatic vegetation at the project site is unlikely.
4.1.5 Effects Determination
The activities described for this proposed project will not result in long-term adverse
impacts to Puget Sound chinook salmon. The long-term effects will be beneficial by
providing improved habitat conditions for chinook salmon. The short-term and
temporary impacts associated with this proposed project would be offset by the
previously described conservation measures that would be used during construction,
and by the long-term beneficial effects of the beach restoration. Thus, it is determined
that this project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect Puget Sound chinook
salmon.
4.1.6 Critical Habitat Effects Determination
Impacts to critical habitat will be temporary and short-lived. Long-term benefits to
existing critical habitat are anticipated, and scarce beach habitat will be restored where
there is currently upland intrusion. This project will not destroy or adversely modify
proposed critical habitat for Puget Sound chinook ESU, and will in fact realize a long-
term benefit. If critical habitat for this ESU becomes designated prior to completion of
the project, the project may affect, but would not be likely to adversely affect critical
habitat for the Puget Sound chinook ESU.

4.2.2 Critical Habitat
On June 25, 2004, USFWS published proposed rules for designating critical habitat for
the Coastal-Puget Sound population of bull trout, which was listed as a threatened
species in 1999. Critical habitat designates areas that contain PCEs essential for the
conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special
management considerations.
For an area to be included as critical habitat it has to provide one or more of the
following functions for bull trout:
1. Spawning, rearing, foraging, or over wintering habitat to support essential
existing local populations.
2. Movement corridors necessary for maintaining essential migratory life history
forms.
3. Suitable habitat that is considered essential for recovering existing local
populations that have declined or that need to be re-established to achieve
recovery.
Areas providing one or more of these functions and at least one of the following nine
PCEs are designated as critical habitat:
1. Water temperatures ranging from 36 to 59°F (2 to 15°C), with adequate thermal
refugia available for temperatures at the upper end of this range. Specific
temperatures within this range will vary depending on bull trout life history
stage and form, geography, elevation, diurnal and seasonal variation, shade,
such as that provided by riparian habitat, and local groundwater influence.
2. Complex stream channels with features such as woody debris, side channels,
pools, and undercut banks to provide a variety of depths, velocities, and
instream structures.
3. Substrates of sufficient amount, size, and composition to ensure success of egg
and embryo overwinter survival, fry emergence, and young-of-the-year and
juvenile survival. A minimal amount of fine substrate less than 0.25 inch (0.63
centimeter [cm]) in diameter and minimal substrate embeddedness are
characteristic of these conditions.

4. A natural hydrograph, including peak, high, low, and base flows within historic
ranges or, if regulated, a hydro graph 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.
5. Springs, seeps, groundwater sources, and subsurface water connectivity to
contribute to water quality and quantity.
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.
7. An abundant food base including terrestrial organisms of riparian origin, aquatic
macroinvertebrates, and forage fish.
8. Few or no nonnative predatory, interbreeding, or competitive species present.
9. Permanent water of sufficient quantity and quality such that normal
reproduction, growth, and survival are not inhibited.
The critical habitat proposal calls for a total of 2,290 miles of streams in western
Washington to be designated as bull trout critical habitat, along with 52,540 acres of
lakes and reservoirs and marine habitat paralleling 985 miles of shoreline. All areas
proposed as critical habitat for bull trout are within the historic geographic range of the
species and already contain features and habitat characteristics that are necessary to
sustain the species. However, not all areas that are currently occupied are designated as
critical habitat because the USFWS determined that some small scattered areas with bull
trout are not essential to the conservation of the species based on current scientific and
commercial information. In marine nearshore areas, the inshore extent of critical habitat
is the mean higher high water (MHHW) mark, including tidally influenced freshwater
heads of estuaries. Adjacent shoreline riparian areas, bluffs, and uplands are not
proposed as critical habitat. The proposed offshore extent of critical habitat for marine
nearshore areas is to the depth of 33 feet (10 meters) relative to MLLW (average of all the
lower low water heights of the two daily tidal levels), which is the average depth of the
photic zone.

Species Occurrence, Effects An.s, and Effects Determination
The project area lies within Unit 28, Puget Sound, and Critical Habitat Subunit (CHSU) x
(lowercase Roman numeral 10), Lake Washington. This CHSU provides foraging,
migration, and overwintering habitat for bull trout from Lake Washington tributary
streams (69 Fed Reg 35795). Water temperatures are slightly higher than ideal in the
summer months (GLWTC 2001), but food supply and water quality and quantity are
sufficient for migration and overwintering.
4.2.3 Biology and Distribution
Bull trout and Dolly Varden (5. malma) are the only char in the family Salmonidae that
are native to Washington. Until recently, bull trout were classified with Dolly Varden
under one scientific name. In 1991 the American Fisheries Society supported the
decision to split them into two distinct species. Information on the distribution and life
history of each species is not yet distinct because the species are biologically similar and
methods to separate them are new and not widely applied (Bonar et aI1997). There is
no survey protocol currently endorsed by the USFWS for establishing absence of bull
trout, so its presence is assumed where there is suitable habitat (USFWS 1999).
Four life history strategies are known to be used by bull trout, but only two could be
used by individuals in Lake Washington: adfluvial and anadromous. Bull trout using
the ad fluvial life history strategy spend their entire lives in freshwater. Adfluvial bull
trout grow and mature in lakes, then move into tributary streams to spawn.
Anadromous bull trout spawn in freshwater, but have some period of growth and
development in the marine environment.
Reproducing populations of bull troutlDolly Varden occur in the upper Cedar River
basin in Chester Morse Lake, but have not been confirmed in the lower Cedar River,
Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, or other tributaries. Cedar Falls is a complete
barrier to anadromous fish, and is located just below Chester Morse Lake (WDFW 1998).
Reports of Dolly Varden in Lake Washington are rare; however, one was identified
during a 2-year creel survey conducted in 1981 to 1982. Two bull troutlDolly Varden
were reported holding below a culvert in the headwaters of Issaquah Creek in the fall of
1993 (WDFW 1998). Water temperatures in the lower Cedar River and Issaquah Creek
may be too high to support these fish. Water temperature is probably the most

important habitat feature limiting the distribution and abundance of bull trout. Bull
trout are uncommon in waters where the temperature exceeds 15°C for extended
periods (KCDNR 2000). During the last decade, the mean temperature of Lake
Washington in August at 15 feet has ranged from 19.8°C to 22.4°C (GLWTC 2001).
Therefore, a self-sustaining population of bull trout is unlikely in Lake Washington.
4.2.4 Direct and Indirect Effects
If bull trout are present in Lake Washington, the potential direct and indirect effects to
bull trout from the proposed beach restoration project are the same as those discussed
for Puget Sound chinook salmon in Section 4.1.4.
4.2.5 Effects Determination
The activities described for this proposed project will not result in long-term adverse
impacts to Puget Sound bull trout. The short-term and temporary impacts associated
with this proposed project would be offset by the previously described conservation
measures that would be used during construction, and by the long-term beneficial
effects of the beach restoration. Thus, it is determined that this project may affect, but is
not likely to adversely affect bull trout.
4.2.6 Critical Habitat Effects Determination
Impacts to critical habitat will be temporary and short-lived. Long-term benefits to
existing critical habitat are anticipated, and scarce beach habitat will be restored where
there is currently upland intrusion. This project will not destroy or adversely modify
proposed critical habitat for Puget Sound bull trout, and will in fact realize a long-term
benefit. If critical habitat for this ESU becomes designated prior to completion of the
project, the project may affect, but would not be likely to adversely affect critical
habitat for the Puget Sound bull trout ESU.

4.3.2 Critical Habitat
No critical habitat has been designated for bald eagles.
4.3.3 Biology and Distribution
4.3.3.1 Nesting and Wintering
Nesting occurs from January 1 to August 15. Bald eagles commonly nest in wild
settings, but will nest close to urban areas if there is an abundant food source nearby.
Bald eagle nests are frequently associated with water, such as Lake Washington and
the Puget Sound, and most often occur close to shorelines.
Wintering activities for bald eagles occur from October 31 through March 31.
Habitat used by bald eagles in winter is similar to that used during breeding season.
In winter, eagles prefer to use perch sites close to water and with a panoramic view.
During the winter months, bald eagles forage, construct nests, and engage in
courtship activities. There may also be eagles from outside the region that forage
along the coastline of Puget Sound in winter. Winter is a high-stress period for
eagles because food is scarce and adverse weather requires the birds to expend more
energy. Wintering bald eagles concentrate near food sources, and where there is
minimal disturbance.
The Pacific States Bald Eagle Recovery Plan recommends limiting construction
activities near bald eagle nests during critical wintering and nesting periods. The
plan recommends construction and disturbance setbacks of 400 meters (1,313 feet) if
the nest does not have a line of sight to the proposed construction activity, or 800
meters (2,625 feet) if the nest is within line of sight of construction. In addition, the
USFWS may place restrictions on timing of in-water activities during bald eagle
nesting if a nest is within 1 mile of a construction site where pile driving is to occur.
Any actions that do not meet these criteria must be conducted outside the nesting
period for bald eagles, which is from January 1 through August 15 (USFWS 1986).
The closest bald eagle nests to the project area are located on Mercer Island,
approximately 3,500 feet (0.65 mile) away. A pair of nests exists near the shoreline.
These nests probably have a line of sight to the project site on the opposite shoreline.

Bald eagle territory is delineated about 3,000 feet north of the project site and all
along the opposite shoreline (more than 3,000 feet away) (WDFW 2005).
4.3.3.2 Foraging
Foraging habitat for bald eagles is typically associated with water features such as
rivers, lakes, and coastal shorelines where fish, waterfowl, and seabirds are preyed
upon. They are usually seen foraging in open areas with wide views (Stalmaster and
Newman 1979). Bald eagles typically forage at or near the surface of any body of
water, close (less than 500 meters) to shoreline perching habitat and often in
proximity to large numbers of congregating waterfowl or spawning salmon.
4.3.3.3 Perching
Perch sites may be used for activities that include hunting, prey consumption,
signaling territory occupation, and resting. Perches are most often associated with
food sources near water and will have visual access to adjacent habitats (Stalmaster
and Newman 1979). The upland areas immediately landward and north and south
of the project site are developed and paved. Stands of trees exist east of the project
site and across Lake Washington Boulevard, close to residential development. Given
their distance from the shoreline and the lack of adjacent forage habitat, these trees
are probably not used by eagles as perch trees.
4.3.4 Direct and Indirect Effects
Potential direct and indirect effects of the proposed project are related to noise
disturbance from the construction equipment.
There are no bald eagle nests within the project site and the closest ones are
approximately 3,475 feet away, across the water from the project site. There are no
nesting areas in the immediate project area. The only trees are medium-sized deciduous
trees located several hundred feet back from the shoreline. In addition, construction is
expected to occur beginning in October, which is outside of the bald eagle nesting
period Oanuary 1 to August 15).

Species Occurrence, Effects An.s, and Effects Determination
Wintering bald eagles prefer perch sites close to water and with a panoramic view. The
only potential perch sites in the project area are the deciduous trees set back from the
shoreline, which do not contain suitable perching habitat. Wintering bald eagles could,
however, be foraging in the project area and may avoid it during construction due to the
noise. This avoidance is considered a minimal impact due to bald eagles large foraging
territories and the short term timing of construction.
4.3.5 Effects Determination
The activities proposed for this project would not result in long-term, permanent
adverse impacts to bald eagles. Construction noise would only be expected to
minimally impact wintering, foraging bald eagles.
Given the biology and life history characteristics of bald eagles and the proposed
construction elements, this project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect bald
eagles.
4.3.6 Critical Habitat Effects Determination
Not Applicable.
4.4 Interrelated/Interdependent Actions
This project is taking place in order for the Barbee Mill Company to vacate aquatic lands
leased from DNR. The proposed use of the upland property is development for residential
use. That project will result in removal of impervious surface from the shoreline, and the
residential use is compatible with the creation of beach habitat. The upland development
has been evaluated under a separate environmental review process.
4.5 Incidental Take Analysis
The potential for incidental take is minimal because of the absence of ESA-listed species in
the project area at the time of construction, and the use of the specified conservation
measures during construction activities. The activities have a very low likelihood of
disturbing any listed species to an extent that would significantly disrupt normal behavior
patterns. There will be no significant habitat degradation, and habitat modification will be

ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT CONSULTATION
Essential Fish Habitat Background
Pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA)
and the 1996 Sustainable Fisheries Act (SFA) an Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) evaluation of
impacts is necessary for activities that may adversely affect EFH. EFH is defined by the
MSFCMA in 50 CFR 600.905-930 as "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for
spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity." Further definitions include:
Waters
Aquatic areas and associated physical, chemical, and biological properties that are used
by fish.
Substrate
Sediment, hard bottom, structures underlying the waters, and associated biological
communities.
Necessary
The habitat required to support a sustainable fishery and managed species' contribution
to a healthy ecosystem.
This document was also prepared as a resource document for concurrent consultation with
NMFS for compliance with the MSFCMA. EFH consultations are required for federally
managed fishery species. The federally managed species with EFH in Lake Washington are
Pacific salmon, including chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon, and coastal cutthroat trout.
EFH for Pacific salmon includes all those streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and other
currently viable water bodies and most of the habitat historically accessible to salmon in
Washington (PFMC 1999; full citation for references in Appendix A are found in the BE
Section 5 -References).
Other anadromous salmonids, such as chum salmon and steelhead trout are rarely captured
in the Pacific Fishery Management Council's ocean fisheries and are therefore not addressed
with regards to EFH. However, the EFH evaluation for Pacific salmon species considers
similar habitat needs and uses to those of these additional species.

Chinook Salmon
Freshwater EFH for chinook salmon consists of four major components (PFMC 1999):
• Spawning and incubation
• Juvenile rearing
• Juvenile migration corridors
• Adult migration corridors and adult holding habitat
Within these areas, essential features of critical habitat include adequate:
• Substrate composition
• Water quality (e.g., dissolved oxygen, nutrients, temperature, etc.)
• Water quantity, depth, and velocity
• Channel gradient and stability
• Food
• Cover and habitat complexity
• Space
• Access and passage
• Floodplain and habitat connectivity
Lake Washington habitats are important for all chinook essential habitat types except
spawning. Essential features of chinook habitat that may be affected by the proposed
project include substrate composition, water quality, food, cover/habitat complexity,
access/passage, and habitat connectivity.
Analysis of Effects on EFH
Substrate Composition
The existing substrate will not change (waterward of the project area). Where
upland will be converted to aquatic land, the bottom substrate will consist of the
gravels favorable to nearshore rearing habitat. The new gravel substrate will
provide habitat for benthic invertebrates, which will likely attract juvenile
salmonids.

Water Quality
Temporary turbidity could occur during construction. Conservation measures
described in Section 2.3.2 will be implemented to minimize turbidity. This effect is
short-lived, and the silt curtain will prevent fish from entering the turbid area.
Water temperatures in Lake Washington are warmer than optimal for salmon during
the summer months. This project is of a small scale and will not affect water
temperatures in the area.
Food
The gravel substrate in the constructed beach environment will encourage
colonization by benthic invertebrates, which are a lesser component of the salmonid
diet.
Cover and habitat complexity
The project will improve habitat complexity by providing nearshore habitat that is
generally lacking in the area. The nearshore habitat is shallow, giving juvenile
chinook salmon cover from larger predators.
Access and passage
The project will improve fish passage during juvenile migration by allowing fish to
remain in shallow water as they move down the shoreline. Currently, fish have to
venture into deeper water in order to bypass the bulkhead.
Floodplain and habitat connectivity
The project will benefit habitat connectivity because it adjoins the Mouth of May
Creek restoration project, allowing for smooth transition between complimentary
habitat types.
EFH Assessment and Determination
The activities described for this proposed project would not result in long-term, permanent
adverse impacts to chinook salmon EFH. The short-term and temporary impacts associated
with this proposed project are insignificant given the long-term benefits of the project and
the conservation measures (described in the project BE Section 2.3.2) that would be used

during construction. A silt curtain would be maintained at adequate depths to prevent silt
from washing into the lake.
The long-term effects of the proposed project are expected to improve baseline substrate
conditions and be beneficial to Pacific salmon EFH.
Given the reasons mentioned previously, this project would have no adverse effects on
chinook salmon EFH.
Coho Salmon
The important elements of coho salmon freshwater EFH are (PFMC 1999):
• Spawning and incubation
• Juvenile rearing
• Juvenile migration corridors
• Adult migration corridors
Important features of essential habitat include adequate:
• Substrate composition
• Water quality
• Water quantity, depth, and velocity
• Channel gradient and stability
• Food
• Cover and habitat complexity
• Space
• Access and passage
• Habitat and flood plain connectivity
Lake Washington habitats are important for all coho essential habitat types except
spawning. EFH in the project action area that may be affected include substrate
composition, water quality, food, cover/habitat complexity, access/passage, and habitat
connectivity. In the project area, substrate is degraded due to the presence of overwater
structures and concrete rubble and debris.

Analysis of Effects on EFH
Effects on EFH for coho are similar to those for chinook salmon. See discussion above
for chinook salmon EFH.
EFH Assessment and Determination
See discussion above for chinook salmon EFH. Given the reasons mentioned for
chinook salmon, this project would have no adverse effects on coho salmon EFH.
Sockeye Salmon and Coastal Cutthroat Trout
Essential habitat elements for sockeye salmon and coastal cutthroat trout are not included in
the PFMC guidance document because incidental catches of these species in PFMC-
managed fisheries are rare (PFMC 1999). However, habitat requirements are similar to
those for other salmonids and the discussion of effects on chinook salmon is relevant to
these species.
EFH Conclusion
Pursuant to the MSFCMA and the SF A, an EFH Assessment has been completed and
concludes that the proposed action may affect EFH. Consultation on EFH is requested in
conjunction with the ESA consultation.

The project site is on the southeastern shore of Lake Washington, just north of the mouth of May Creek (Figure 1), The
Barbee Mill is located on two parcels. One upland parcel is operated by the Barbee Mill Co.; the other is aquatic land
leased from the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources. This application concerns only the aquatic parcel (Photos
1 and 2), .
The property is currently developed as a lumber mill. The mill ceased operations in the late 1990s .. Between
approximately 1944 and 1957, approximately 550 linear feet of uplands were created on the waterward side of the Inner
Harbor Line. Most of this area is currently paved, and two former lumber mill buildings are located within the lease area
footprint (Figure 2, Photos 3 and 4).
The southern 300 linear feet of shoreline fill is protected by a timber bulkhead, A 135-foot-long by 25-foot-wide timber
pier separates this area from the northern 225 feet of shoreline. Approximately 28 non-creosote timber pilings (former
boomsticks) on the south side of the pier delineate a former dock that has recently been removed (Photo 5).
The northern shoreline is steeply sloping and does not currently have a bulkhead, although a row of pilings near th.e
ordinary high water mark (OHWM) delineates a bulkhead .that may have existed there historically (Photo 6). The leased
area is currently used on an occasional basis for log rafting (Photo 7).
Both·soils and sediments in the project area have been characterized through environmental sampling programs, and
have been determined to be composed of clean (below State Model Toxics Control Act cleanup standards) silt and sand
mat~rials. Sediment dredging/cleanup actions in th'e area were completed by the Barbee Mill Company in summer/fall
2002 under the Voluntary Cleanup Program, with input from the Washington Department of Ecology, and in accordance
with applicable local, state, arid federal permits. .

Aquatic land that was historically converted to upland is proposed to be restored to a sand and gravel beach ..
Restoration will be accomplished with the following steps:
• Demolition and removal of upland lumber mill facilities
• Removal of in-water structures (pilings and pier)
• Excavation of fill soils to achieve subgrade elevations
• Installation of toe rock and quarry spall berm
• Importation of sand, gravel and rock materials for beach construction
Demolition of Upland Lumber Mill Facilities
The features to be removed are two former lumber mill buildings and asphalt paving. All demolition debris will be loaded
onto trucks and disposed of at appropriate upland faCilities.
.IAR~A, Revised 7/02 Contact the State of Washington Office of Permit Assistance for latest version, 360/407-7037 or 800/917-0043 2
Removal of In-Water Structures •
The in-water structures to be removed .de a wooden bulkhead, a timber piling-s ported pier, approximately 40 other
piling, log boom and associated piling, a log raft, and concrete and other debris along the shoreline. (The existing dolphin
line on adjacent aquatic lands owned by Barbee Mill will be retained.) Timber decking will be removed from the existing
wooden pier. Piling will be extracted using a vibratory hammer mounted on a barge. A collar will be fastened around the
piling, and will pull up on the piling while vibrating it out of the sediments. When the pile is released from the sediment,
the vibratory hammer will be disengaged and the pile pulled from the water and placed on a barge until it is transferred
upland. Piling that break during removal will be directly pulled with a clamshell bucket. The piling will be loaded on to the
barge and disposed off-site in accordance with WAC 173-304.
Sediments attached to the outside of the pile will be allowed to fall back onto the lake bed. Resuspended sediments (if
any) are anticipated to settle back onto the lake bottom within a short period of time (from several minutes to a few hours,
depending on the specific sediment type, currents, and weather conditions).
Excavation of Fill Soils and Bulkhead Removal
Paved surfaces will be removed before soil excavation begins. Pavement will be broken using a tracked excavator with a
jackhammer, and the asphalt fragments will be loaded onto trucks and disposed of at an appropriate upland facility.
Fill soils will be excavated from behind the bulkhead. Excavation of fill soils will occur either from a barge-mounted
clamshell crane, or from the uplands using a track mounted excavator. All fill will be removed prior to bulkhead removal
to control erosion and turbidity. All excavated soils will be placed on-site in the upland private property. Following
completion of soil excavation, the bulkhead will be dismantled and hauled away to an appropriate upland facility. A
relatively small number of creosote-treated piling associated with the former de-barking facility at the mill will be disposed
at a facility authorized to receive such materials.
Installation of Toe Rock and Quarry Spall Berm
A permanent line of toe rock will be installed on the landward side of the Inner Harbor line/ property line. The toe rock will
consist of 900-1 ,200 pound individual stones which will be half buried. Toe rock will be bedded in a 6-inch-minimum layer
of 2-to-4-inch crushed rock. Approximately 12 inches of toe rock will be exposed above the OHWM.
Temporary measures to control erosion above and on the landward side of the toe rock will employ Construction Best
Management Practices (Construction BMPs) and will consist of a combination of geotextiles and a graded quarry rock
(quarry spall) forming a protective berm. The temporary quarry spall berm will extend 2 feet vertically above the toe rock
and have a maximum slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (2H: 1V). The width of the berm will be a minimum of 4 feet, with
an additional 2 feet of width for the toe rock, for a total width of approximately 6 feet. The total height of the toe rock and
berm will be approximately 3 feet above the OHWM.
Importation of Sand, Gravel. and Rock Materials for Beach Construction
The underlying soil will be graded to the appropriate slope before beach materials are overlaid. Finished beach slopes
will range from up to 20H:1V on the south beach segment, to 7.5H:1V on the north segment. These grades would vary in
response to existing bathymetry and represent a range of slopes that are suitable and desirable for nearshore habitat and
recreational use on Lake Washington.
Imported beach materials will include a relatively fine-grained sand/gravel mix (coarse sand up to 1-1/2 inch minus gravel)
in the more gently sloping south beach segment, and a coarser pea gravel to 1-1/2 inch minus gravel blend in the steeper
north beach segment.
At the north and south ends of the beach, rock "beach anchors" are proposed to contain the imported beach materials
and prevent longshore transport processes from moving beach materials into much steeper and deeper adjacent areas.
The beach anchors will be constructed of imported basalt quarry rock of varying size gradations. The rock will be
installed in two to three layers of different gradations to build a stable mass. The beach anchors will extend
approximately 20 ft out into the water (see Figure 3).

Barbee Mill proposes to remove the mill structures, vacate its leased aquatic land, and sell its adjacent upland property
for redevelopment. The lessee also proposes restore the created land to aquatic habitat up to the Inner Harbor Line.
The proposed restoration was designed to be consistent with Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 8 Conservation
Plan recommendations. It provides nearshore habitat that is scarce in the project vicinity due to extensive shoreline
modifications. This habitat is especially valuable to salmon fry (up to 40 mm length) for winter rearing. The gravel
substrate and gently sloping beaches were planned for maximum benefit to juvenile salmon. According to the WRIA 8
Steering Committee, this section of Lake Washington is a high priority for restoration projects, ranking second out of the

AQUATIC LIFE. IDENTIFY WHICH GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS YOU HAVE USED. ATTACH A SEPARATE SHEET IF ADDITIONAL SPACE IS NEEDED.
Lake Washington is used primarily for recreational boating. The shoreline is currently used for a wide range of upland
waterfront park, retail, and residential development uses. Lake water quality has been historically degraded largely
because of untreated sewage discharges, but since the 1960s water quality has been steadily restored by the diversion of
sewage outfalls away from the lake for treatment. Due to the 1916 construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal and
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (prior to initial construction of the Barbee Mill), lake waters are currently approximately 9 feet
lower than historical (pre-1916) levels.
Lake Washington is part of the salmon migration corridor for the Cedar River and Sammamish River systems, and the
Lake Washington Ship Canal is the only outlet for these systems to the Puget Sound. The lake is used by chinook, coho,
and sockeye salmon, rainbow trout, and some bull trout. Other fish species found in Lake Washington include black
crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkifJseed sunfish, tench, and yellow perch. Nearshore habitats
are productive sources of the benthic invertebrate prey for salmonlds, and the shallow water provides protection for
migrating juveniles. Consequently, altered shorelines and degraded beaches are viewed as fisheries enhancement
opportunities (King County DNR 2005).
The proposed project will result in significant long-term environmental benefits. Relatively minor, short-term water quality
impacts are also expected during construction, as described below.
Potential Erosion During Construction
Conservation measures will be followed to minimize to the extent practicable construction-related erosion:
• Fill soils will be excavated from behind the bulkhead before the bulkhead is removed to prevent sloughing of soil
into Lake Washington.
• A silt curtain and/or debris boom will be installed waterward of the bulkhead to prevent silt or debris from entering
the lake during demolition activities. The silt curtain and/or debris boom '!ViII be checked prior to and during
construction to make sure it functions properly. . .
Temporary measures to control erosion above and on the landward side of the toe rock will employ Construction Best
Management Practices (Construction BMPs) and will consist of a combination of geotextiles and a graded quarry rock
(quarry spall) forming a protective berm. The temporary quarry spall berm will extend 2 feet vertically above the toe rock
and have a maximum slope of 2H:1V. The width of the berm will be a minimum of 4 feet, with an additional 2 feet of width
for the toe rock, for a total width of approximately 6 feet. The total height of the toe rock and berm will be approximately 3
feet above the 0MWM. This height is greater than the existing grades bordering the proposed beach which range from 1
to 2.3 feet above the OHWM. The 3 feet of vertical height and 6 feet of width of the toe rock and temporary berm will
prevent lake-generated waves from causing erosion on the landward side of the project. The geotextile and gradation of
rock size in the quarry spall temporary berm will protect soils adjacent to the beach from erosion due to upland sheet flow.
Temporary Turbidity From Piling Removal
Conservation measures to control temporary turbidity include those for erosion prevention, listed above, plus:
• Allwork will be conducted within the approved timing windows for listed species in this area of Lake Washington,
which extends from July 16 to December 31.
• If a barge is used, it will remain in adequate water depths to prevent grounding.
• An emergency spill containment kit will be located on-site and promptly used for cleanup of accidental spills.
Noise Disturbance to Osprey Nest
An osprey nest is located on the upland portion of the Barbee Mill site, about 150 ft from the inland edge of the work area.
The nest is on top of the sawdust collector, which emits some dust and a great deal of noise during operation. The
osprey pair has nested at the site since 1986 and has remained there even during operation ofthe sawdust collector. To
prevent disturbance to the nest during construction, the osprey nest will be moved in the fall (before construction) to
another location on the upland site.
Return of Created Upland to Aquatic State
This project removes a barrier to nearshore movement. Presently, fish must venture into deeper water to pass by the
bulkhead. This project will restore the natural beach configuration and allow juvenile salmonids to stay in shallower
water. The shallower water provides protection for juveniles from larger predators. The gently sloping bottom mimics
natural conditions in the littoral (nearshore) zone, distinguishing it from the more sharply dropping limnetic (water column)
JARPA, Revised 7/02 Contact the State of Washington Office of Permit Assistance for latest version, 360/407-7037 or 800/917-0043 4
zone, both of which are used by sal mo. for different life history stages. _
Removal of Impervious Surface .,
Approximately 28,140 fe of paved surface (0.65 acre) will be removed as a result of this project. This surface will be
replaced by permeable gravel beach material and open water. This will reduce the level of runoff from the area and will
improve long-term water quality at the site.
Removal of Over-Water Coverage
Approximately 3,375 fe of over-water coverage will be removed with the demolition of the wooden pier. Over-water
coverage blocks light that would normally reach the bottom, reducing productivity in the shaded area. Predators are also
known to use piling for cover while hunting juvenile salmon.
Removal of Creosote-Treated Timber from the Aquatic Environment
Approximately 40 non-treated piling, plus 300 linear feet of timber bulkhead will be removed from the lake. These
components will not be replaced. A relatively small number of creosote-treated piling associated with the former de-
barking facility at the mill will be removed and transported to a facility authorized to receive such materials. Creosote-
treated timber is designated as a potential sediment contaminant source by the Washington Hydraulic Code (WAC 173-
303-9904).
Creation of High-Qualitv Aquatic Habitat
The beach and nearshore habitat that will be created as a result of this project are immediately north of the mouth of May
Creek. Restoration in this area has been recommended in the Proposed King County DNR Lake Washington/Cedar
River/Sammamish Watershed Conservation Plan, released in February 2005. Other complementary restoration projects
have been and are continuing in the May Creek delta area (e.g., the voluntary sediment cleanup project implemented by
Barbee Mill in 2002), and the Barbee Mill beach will adjoin that habitat, increasing the habitat value of the integrated
restoration effort.
