SUMMARY OF ACTION: Rob Thompson is a talented professional with over sixteen years of experience working in the electrical field as a trainee, apprentice, journeyman, and electrical contractor. His years in this field give him a keen insight into the industries intricacies. As the building industry is moving at such a fast pace right now, many jurisdictions are looking for qualified electrical inspectors. In addition, there were a limited number of applicants who met the strict screening needs, and as Rob will bring crucial knowledge and critical skills to our division, we want to ensure we will retain this rare combination of abilities and positive attitude. Throughout his interview process, Rob stood out as a very highly qualified candidate for the Building Inspector/Electri cal position. If hired, he would be an experienced employee who would provide quality service to the City of Renton community. It is our opinion that we will not be able to find an individual more suited by background, skills, and abilities to fill this position than Rob Thompson. The wage being proposed at Step D is supported and in line with current market conditions. EXHIBITS: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize compensation for Robert Thompson at Step D of Grade a21, effective September 16th, 202 1.

Updates to the fee schedule are subject to City Council approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the City Council does not approve the fee schedule proposed by the RRFA, the RRFA may, using the process identified in Section XVI(C) of the Agreement, request discussion of the financial impacts to the RRFA of not having its proposed fee schedule approved. All Fire Department OFM fees, as such fees may be renamed, shall be paid to the RRFA as compensation for the RRFA providing the City the services described in Exhibit 1. To the degree these fees and any associated late fees are collected by the City through its billing, permit or license systems, the City will remit the funds collected to RRFA in a timely manner. The parties agree these fees, along with any other consideration provided by this Agreement, constitute full, fair, and complete compensation for the RRFA’s performance of the Services described in Exhibit 1. 3. OFM Administration Services. The RRFA shall provide the following OFM Administration Services: a. Direct the management and supervision of personnel performing the Services. 1 The description of OFM Services in this Exhibit 1 is intended to provide an overview of the Services that were previously provided by the City’s Fire and Emergency Services Department.

The 2021 WRIA 9 Salmon Plan Update (Plan Update) represents a renewed commitment to salmon recovery efforts in WRIA 9 and provides a science-based framework for identifying, prioritizing and implementing salmon recovery actions over the next 10-15 years. It refines and adds key recovery strategies based on new science and ensures resources will continue to be directed to where they provide the greatest benefit for Chinook salmon. The original 2005 Plan translated science into actions. Plan implementation by multiple WRIA 9 entities in the last 15 years helped leverage over $200 million of local, state and federal funding to realign more than 2 miles of levees to reconnect floodplains, restore over 4,500 feet of marine shoreline and revegetate 500 acres of riparian habitat. While we recognize these achievements, we also acknowledge that salmon recovery is a long-term endeavor that requires continued coordinated action. Chinook salmon numbers remain critically low and human population growth and climate change are only magnifying the challenges we face in salmon recovery. Chinook salmon are an integral part of our regional identity. The Watershed Ecosystem Forum - a regional partnership of 17 local governments, state resource agencies, business interests and non- profit organizations – is collectively committed to implementing actions that will improve watershed conditions for our salmon populations. Plan implementation supports more than just salmon recovery; it supports tribal treaty rights, community flood hazard reduction, water quality improvement, open space protection, and outdoor recreation. While the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed has faced numerous challenges, we are optimistic about the future of our watershed. The downstream fish passage facility at Howard Hansen Dam, clean-up of the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund sites, and a regional commitment to integrated floodplain management reflect a projected investment of hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 10-15 years. As we work towards an improved future, we are reminded of a quote from a historical planning guide for the Green River corridor: ROGER TABORAGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Forward edits In third paragraph, second line, recommend inserting “and” between “business interests” and “non-profit” There are extra spaces in several places between words.

Fourth paragraph, 1st line between “While” and “the” Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 9 As we look at the Green River corridor, we must say, ‘This is the way the people want it to be.’ Therefore, in each locality, someone should steadily be asking, ‘is this the way we want it to be, now and in the future?’ The ultimate condition of the Green River Basin should be the result of informed and far- sighted public decisions. River of Green, 1978 We look forward to collaborating with all our local, state, federal, and tribal partners in realizing our collective vision for this watershed and welcoming back ever stronger runs of salmon.

Population abundance, productivity, diversity and spatial distribution have not improved, and in some cases have continued to decline. A Strategic Assessment Update summarizes new research findings that address important data gaps identified in the 2005 Plan. New information related to habitat use and fish productivity, climate change, temperature, and contaminants supported a reassessment of functional linages between priority stressors, habitat conditions, and VSP parameters. This information serves as the foundation for the other core elements of the Plan Update. Although the Plan Update maintains existing NOAA-approved VSP goals, it introduces new 10-year habitat goals (implementation targets) that represent continued progress towards the long-term necessary future conditions for achieving a viable salmon popu- lation, as outlined in 2005 Plan. The numerical targets for key habitats serve as a benchmark for evaluating plan implementation over time and informing ongo- ing adaptive management. The Plan Update outlines a portfolio of 12 recov- ery strategies – including embedded policies and programs – to address priority pressures; increase salmon abundance, productivity, and diversity; and build long-term population resiliency. Successful This document updates the 2005 Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9), Making Our Watershed Fit for a King, Salmon Habitat Plan. The 2005 Plan served as the blueprint for salmon habitat recovery in WRIA 9 for 15 years. It is fitting that the Puget Sound Regional Council award- ed the original 2005 Plan a Vision 2020 Award. Al- though the Plan Update reflects over a decade of new science regarding salmon conservation and recovery since the award, the core recovery strategies and un- derlying scientific framework remain largely valid to- day and continue to provide an important foundation for salmon recovery. The Plan Update – designed to be a stand-alone document – is intended to update, not replace, the 2005 Plan. The two documents, along with the 2014 Duwamish Blueprint and the 2016 Re- green the Green, provide a science-based framework for identifying, prioritizing and implementing salmon recovery actions. This document provides a status update for Green River Chinook salmon using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-approved viable salmon population (VSP) criteria. Over 20 years have passed since the listing of the Puget Sound Chinook salmon evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Despite significant investments and large-scale restoration projects, Green River Chinook salmon remain listed AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 12 implementation hinges on partner coordination and investment to ensure local land use planning, capi- tal investment programs, and community outreach messaging are consistent with identified watershed priorities. An updated list of capital projects was developed in partnership with interlocal agreement member jurisdictions, non-profit partners, state agencies, and others engaged in salmon recovery. The updat- ed project list identifies 127 capital habitat projects across the five subwatersheds. Individuals projects are ranked within their specific subwatershed – not across subwatersheds. Projects are tiered based on overall benefit towards recovery and to provide con- text for the level of financial need. Tier 1 projects have significant potential to advance recovery and sub- stantively contribute to habitat goals. Tier 2 and Tier 3 have moderate and limited potential, respectively, to advance recovery and contribute to achieving habitat goals. The Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan (MAMP) outlines monitoring priorities intended to help evaluate progress and inform strategic adapta- tion of the recovery strategies. The MAMP establishes a framework for (1) tracking implementation goals, (2) assessing project effectiveness, (3) evaluating habitat status and trends, (4) evaluating the popula- tion status of Green River Chinook salmon, and (4) prioritizing research and monitoring investments. This framework will guide data collection to support regular assessment of progress and allow the WRIA to reassess prioritization and sequencing of recovery actions.

The Plan was a local wa- tershed-based response to the federal government’s 1999 listing of Puget Sound Chinook salmon as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. The 2005 Plan – which received a Puget Sound Regional Council Vision 2020 Award – translated a tremendous wealth of science into discrete policy recommenda- tions and management actions necessary to sup- port recovery of natural origin Green River Chinook salmon. The 2005 Plan provided the blueprint for Chinook salmon recovery in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound for 15 years. It helped watershed part- ners leverage upwards of $200 million dollars of local, state and federal funding for salmon recovery. Plan implementation resulted in nearly 2 miles of levee setbacks, over 4,500 feet of marine shoreline resto- ration, and approximately 500 acres of revegetation. Despite of these accomplishments, the continued decline of Chinook salmon – both locally and region- ally – highlights the urgent need for expanding and accelerating recovery efforts. This Salmon Habitat Plan Update represents the next chapter of salmon recovery efforts in the Green/ Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed. It provides a science-based framework for identify- ing, prioritizing and implementing salmon recovery actions over the next 10-15 years. The integration of over a decade of new science informed important refinements to recovery priorities and investment strategies outlined in the 2005 Plan. These refine- ments reflect the watershed’s commitment to adap- tive management and ensure that limited resources are directed to where they can provide the greatest benefit towards Chinook salmon recovery. Although the focus of this plan is on Chinook salmon recovery, implementation will also provide parallel benefits to other salmon and steelhead. Regional Salmon Recovery Context This addendum updates the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watershed chapter of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-approved 2007 Puget Sound Salmon Recov- ery Plan. The Green River Chinook salmon popula- tion is one of six Chinook salmon populations in the Central/South sub-basin and one of 22 remaining populations in the Puget Sound Chinook salmon evo- AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 14 Why does the data on salmon abundance begin to improve in 1975? The quality of data on annual salmon population runs improves starting in 1975, when the Washington Department of Fisheries (predecessor to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife) initiated data collection in response to the federal court mandate to develop and share annual abun- dance of salmon returning to individual rivers in Puget Sound.

NOAA ESU recovery criteria require status improvement in all populations and two to four viable populations in each of the sub-basins. The Puget Sound Partnership (Partnership), the state agency leading the region’s collective effort to restore and protect Puget Sound, serves as the regional salmon organization for the 15 lead entities within the Puget Sound, advised by the Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Council. The Partnership co-manages the Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund and works in partnership with the Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office and Recreation and Conservation Of- fice (RCO) on statewide salmon recovery issues. The Salmon Recovery Funding Board, facilitated by the RCO, is a Governor-appointed 10-person board with a primary responsibility for making grants and loans for salmon habitat projects and salmon recovery activ- ities. This salmon recovery infrastructure, and the grant and loans for habitat project implementation, is supported through state and federal funds from NOAA’s Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund and the State Salmon Recovery Funding. Additionally, within Puget Sound, salmon recovery is supported by the Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund. WRIA 9 Organizational Structure Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 9 serves as a lead entity for salmon recovery under the State of Washington’s watershed-based framework for salmon recovery established under RCW 77.85. It is a watershed-based organization comprised of local, state and federal partners, non-profit organizations, business interests, and citizens. Per statute, WRIA 9 is mandated to “compile a list of habitat projects, establish priorities for individual projects, define the sequence for project implementation, and submit these activities as the habitat project list. The com- mittee shall also identify potential federal, state, local, and private funding sources.” The 17 local governments within the Green/Duwa- mish and Central Puget Sound Watershed (WRIA 9) formalized a partnership under an interlocal agreement (ILA) (WRIA 9 ILA) in 2000. The initial ILA (2000–2005) funded a strategic, science-based assessment of the watershed and a long-term, com- prehensive recovery plan for the Green River Chinook salmon population. Following approval of the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan, the local government partners forged a 10-year ILA from 2007–2017 intended to guide plan implementation and adaptive manage- ment. The ongoing commitment to watershed-based salmon recovery was renewed in 2017. The current ILA extends through 2025. The WRIA 9 Watershed Ecosystem Forum (WEF) serves as the advisory body for plan implementation and adaptive management. It is comprised of elected officials from the ILA partners and other watershed stakeholders. The Management Committee serves as the executive committee to the WEF. It directs work plan development and manages the ILA budget. The Implementation Technical Committee (ITC) is a technical- and policy-focused subcommittee that supports plan implementation and adaptive manage- ment. The ITC defines monitoring and research prior- ities, interprets new technical information as it relates to salmon recovery, and provides science-based recommendations to WEF. Equity and Social Justice Salmon recovery efforts within the Green/Duwa- mish and Central Puget Sound watershed overlap with numerous communities experiencing deeply entrenched social, economic, and environmental inequities. Race and place influence opportunity and quality of life. People of color, immigrants, and low-income residents experience inequities in access to key determinants of equity – including access to parks and natural resources. Although best available science drives project identification and prioritization, equity and social justice (ESJ) issues should be care- fully considered. Applying an ESJ lens to habitat pro- jects can help ensure salmon recovery efforts align with ESJ initiatives and do not inadvertently reinforce existing inequities. Integrating residents and commu- nity-based organizations into project design can help build community support and achieve multi-benefit outcomes that advance equity in the watershed.

This section provides a high-level over- view of the five subwatersheds (Upper Green, Middle Green, Lower Green, Duwamish, and Nearshore) that serve as an overarching framework for salmon recovery. It also provides context for the strategies and actions outlined in subsequent chapters. For a more comprehensive review, please refer to the Chapter 3 of the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan. The Upper Green Subwatershed extends up- stream of Howard Hanson Dam, river mile 64.5, and represents approximately 45 percent of the Green/ Duwamish River watershed. Historically, the Upper Green provided important spawning and freshwater rearing habitat for Chinook salmon. It encompasses between 78-165 miles of suitable instream habitat, although fish passage has been blocked by a combi- nation of the Tacoma Headworks Diversion Dam and Howard Hanson Dam since 1911. Checkered ownership in the subwatershed compli- cates coordinated land management. Although the primary land use is commercial forestry, the Upper Green also serves at the primary municipal water supply for the City of Tacoma. Additionally, a road and railroad alignment have constrained the river in plac- es, the Upper Green Subwatershed is largely undevel- oped and contains relatively high-quality, yet currently inaccessible, aquatic habitat. Long-term recovery of Chinook salmon depends on providing fish passage to the Upper Watershed. The Middle Green Subwatershed extends between river miles 64.5 and 32. It includes the two largest tributaries to the Green River – Soos and Newaukum Creeks. Low-velocity habitats, including off-channel habitats, sidechannels, floodplain wetlands, and river edge, provide important rearing and refuge habitat for juvenile Chinook. Land use in the Middle Green is characterized pre- dominantly by agricultural lands and rural residential development. Land use development adjacent to river and tributaries has resulted in loss of riparian habitat contributing to elevated instream temperatures. Mod- ified flow regimes have disrupted natural transport of large wood and sediment. In addition, a network of training levees designed to restrict lateral channel migration – as opposed to prevent flooding – have simplified channel complexity along some reaches. Restoring floodplain connectivity and expanding rear- ing habitat capacity are critical to increasing Chinook salmon productivity. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 18 The Lower Green River Subwatershed flows from river mile 32 downstream to river mile 11. It serves as an important migratory corridor for adult upstream migration and juvenile downstream migra- tion. Available rearing and high-flow refuge habitat is limited compared to the Middle Green – many reach- es currently lack large wood, side channels, sloughs, and slow-water edge habitats. The Lower Green River also supports Chinook salmon spawning upstream of approximately river mile 25. The Lower Green River valley is the second largest warehouse and distribution center on the west coast. The floodplain is heavily developed and character- ized by a combination of industrial, commercial, and urban residential development. The 1906 diversion of the White River left the floodplain perched above the mainstem channel and disconnected historic off-channel habitats. An extensive network of flood control facilities (27 miles of levees and revetments) currently restricts floodplain connectivity and limits channel complexity. A corresponding loss of riparian tree canopy contributes to elevated instream temper- atures. An integrated, multi-benefit approach to flood- plain management is needed to balance fish habitat needs with flood risk reduction and other community priorities in this subwatershed. The Duwamish Subwatershed extends from river mile 11 at the Black River Pump Station downstream to the north end of Harbor Island. The extent of salt influence – as depicted by the saltwater wedge – var- ies based on flows and tide, but can extend upstream as far as the Foster Bridge (RM 10.2) during low flows and high tides. Juvenile Chinook rear in the estuarine waters of the Duwamish as they undergo the physio- logical transition from fresh to saltwater habitats. Extensive dredge and fill of the Duwamish has transformed the estuary into an industrial waterway, characterized by straightened channel with armored banks and a lack of riparian tree canopy. More than 98 percent of the historical tidal wetlands have been transformed into commercial and industrial land uses. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency declared the Lower Duwamish Waterway a “Superfund” site in 2001 due to legacy contamination, and clean-up is not expected to be complete for another decade. Sediment cleanup and restoration of estuarine habitat are essential to increasing juvenile Chinook salmon survival. The Nearshore Subwatershed extends 92 line- ar miles from Elliott Bay south to the Pierce County boarder, including Vashon Island. It represents the interface of upland and aquatic habitats; shallow productive zone and deep water habitats; and fresh and marine waters. The nearshore is a dynamic environment – shaped by wave energy and sediment transport that support high species diversity. A variety of habitats, including beaches, eelgrass beds, and pocket estuaries, provide important foraging habitat and a migratory corridor to the Pacific Ocean for juvenile Chinook salmon. Development along the marine shorelines has altered significant stretches of the nearshore ecosystem. Approximately two-thirds of WRIA 9 shoreline is ar- mored, which has disrupted natural sediment delivery and transport. The intensity of shoreline development varies substantially across the watershed. The highest intensity development is located along the industrial and commercial shores of Elliott Bay. The mainland shoreline from Seattle south to Federal Way is pre- dominantly residential. Vashon Island is predominant- ly rural. Improving nearshore habitat is essential to increasing juvenile salmon residence times, growth rates, and overall marine survival.

Spawning primarily occurs within the Lower and Middle Mainstem Green River and Newaukum Creeks. Additional spawning occurs in Soos, Burns and Covington Creeks. Fish passage to the upper watershed has been blocked by a combination of the Tacoma Headworks Diversion Dam (1911) and Howard Hanson Dam (1961). Although fish passage was provided at the Tacoma facility in 2007, a downstream fish passage facility has not been completed at Howard Hanson Dam. The dams also block natural gravel delivery and transport; however, available spawning habitat does not appear to be a limiting factor in Chinook recovery. Egg Incubation/Emergence Egg incubation and alevin emergence generally occurs September through January within the same reaches where spawning occurs. Timing is variable and influenced by water temperatures – warmer temperatures drive an earlier emergence. High- flow events and sedimentation during this critical development period can scour redds and result in high mortality. As a result, flow management at Howard Hanson Dam influences incubation/ emergence success. The Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Chinook salmon life cycle provides a common thread linking together a diverse watershed. Each of the five distinct subwatersheds plays a critical role in the Chi- nook salmon life cycle. Recovery of a viable salmon population hinges on collective action across the watershed to improve aquatic habitat. The concep- tual life cycle model presented in the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan remains an important tool for assess- ing aquatic habitat needs in relationship to priority stressors that adversely impact survival at distinct life history stages and across different life history types. Understanding aquatic habitat needs throughout the life cycle and how they relate observed bottlenecks in survival allows recovery managers to strategically focus limited resources where they are expected to provide the largest benefit to recovery objectives. Figure 5 highlights the relationship between the sub- watersheds and specific life history phases. Adult Upstream Migration/Spawning Chinook salmon enter the Green/Duwamish between July and October. Timing of river entry and upstream migration is impacted by water temperature and flow. Spawning generally occurs mid-September through Chapter 3: The Chinook Salmon Life Cycle – Connecting a Diverse Watershed CHRIS GREGERSON AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) The Salmon Cycle Spawning Incubation and emergence Stream rearing Downstream migration Adult Migration Migration To Puget Sound Maturation (Marine waters) Nearshore Foraging Estuary rearing DUWAMISH ESTUARY SUBWATERSHED DUWAMISH ESTUARY SUBWATERSHED LOWER/MIDDLE GREEN RIVER SUBWATERSHEDS MARINE NEARSHORE SUBWATERSHED/OFFSHORE Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 24 Juvenile Freshwater Rearing/Migration Juvenile Chinook salmon rear in the Lower and Middle Green subwatershed from mid-December to mid-July. The length of the freshwater rearing period varies among life history types (Figure 5) and is influenced by habitat availability and flows. Subyearling Chinook rely on low-velocity habitats, including mainstem river margins, pools, and off- channel habitats. Rearing habitat availability is a limiting factor for Chinook productivity. Extensive flood control facilities and floodplain development have disconnected floodplain habitats, reduced habitat complexity, and eliminated much of the historic freshwater rearing habitat. Instream flows influence accessibility of off-channel rearing habitats. During low-flow periods, off-channel habitats and floodplain wetlands may become disconnected from the mainstem. In contrast, high-flow events may flush juvenile Chinook downstream if they are unable to access suitable refuge habitat. Given the connection to instream flows, flow management at Howard Hanson Dam can impact habitat connectivity/ availability during the rearing period. Juvenile Estuary Rearing Subyearlying Chinook salmon generally migrate downstream into the Duwamish estuary between February and July, with fry-type life histories predom- inantly entering earlier in the year (Feb-Mar) than parr (May-Jun). Residence times in the Duwamish vary considerably, with some fish spending days and others (i.e., estuarine reared fry) spending weeks to months in the estuary. The Duwamish Estuary – specifically the transition zone (RM 1-9) – is critical for juvenile salmon making the physiological transition from fresh to salt water. Juvenile Chinook salmon rely on shallow, low gradient habitats (e.g., marshes, mud- flats, and tidal sloughs) to escape stronger currents and support efficient foraging and growth prior to en- tering Puget Sound. Extensive industrial development along the Duwamish has transformed the estuary to an industrial waterway, resulting in extensive loss of slow water rearing habitats and contamination of sediments. The lack of high-quality habitat may contribute to accelerated downstream migration and reduced survival upon entry into Puget Sound. Figure 4.

Primary Chinook salmon life history types in the Green River (updated and modified from Ruggerone and Weitkamp 2004). The most intense shoreline modifications are located in urbanized Elliott Bay, with more natural shorelines located along the largely rural Vashon Island. Ocean Migration By fall, most Green River Chinook exit the Strait of Juan de Fuca and migrate north along the outer coast of Vancouver Island. While Chinook salmon may spend up to five years in marine waters, most Green River Chinook spend two to three years at sea before returning to spawn. In addition to predators, Chinook salmon are subject to various commercial fisheries during their marine migration. Marine Nearshore Rearing Juvenile Chinook salmon generally rear in the Puget Sound nearshore from later winter through fall. Shal- low nearshore habitats support foraging, growth, and refuge from predators, while also providing a migra- tory corridor to offshore waters. Although considera- ble uncertainty surrounds marine nearshore habitat use by juvenile Chinook salmon, it is widely accepted that the early marine rearing period is a critical period of growth that strongly influences long-term survival. The Central Puget Sound marine nearshore waters not only support Green River Chinook, but also at least eight different stocks of Puget Sound Chinook salmon. Shoreline development has extensively modified nearshore habitat and processes in WRIA 9.

Tracking population metrics and habitat conditions provides important data used to evaluate current population status and overall habitat conditions. This information serves as a key input for informing ongoing adaptive manage- ment. Viable Salmon Population Criteria – Current Status and Goals The Viable Salmon Population1 (VSP) concept – as defined by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) – provides the foundation for all established recovery goals for Chinook salmon within the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed. NMFS defines a viable salmon population as a population that has a negligible risk of extinction due to threats from demographic variation, local en- vironmental variation, and genetic diversity changes over a 100-year timeframe (McElhany et al. 2000). The VSP goals outlined in this section remain unchanged from the 2005 Plan and are presented in Table 1. They 1 NOAA technical Memorandum NMFS-NWSSC-42: Viable salmonid populations and the recovery of evo- lutionarily significant units. are based on recovery planning targets developed by a team of scientists (Puget Sound Technical Recovery Team) appointed by NOAA to support the original 2007 Recovery Plan for Puget Sound Chinook. Four parameters are used to assess the viability of salmon populations: abundance, productivity, spatial structure and diversity. These parameters are rea- sonable predictors of extinction risk, reflect general processes important to all salmon populations, and measurable over time. Abundance Abundance is the number of individuals in the pop- ulation at a given life stage or time. The number of natural origin Green River Chinook spawners is the primary abundance indicator. Chinook abundance indicates an overall decline since before the first plan was adopted in 2005 (Figure 6 and Table 1). In 2009, the number of Natural Origin Spawners (NOS) was the lowest ever recorded, with less than 200 fish. For five of the past 10 years (2010–2019), the number of NOS has been below the planning target range (1,000 -4,200 NOS) for WRIA 9.

If fish are expe- riencing high productivity, fewer adults are needed to reach future targets than if they are experiencing low productivity, which would require more fish returning to reach future targets. 3 No target established because it is not considered a reliable metric of diversity. However, relative abundance of fry and parr does provide important information for projecting future abundance. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 29 Figure 6. Green River Chinook salmon escapement. Data Source: WDFW Salmonid Stock Inventory and NOAA Salmon Population Summary Database. Productivity Productivity or population growth rate is the ratio of abundance in the next generation as compared to current abundance. The WRIA uses WDFW data to track egg-to-migrant survival rates as a primary means of evaluating productivity (WRIA 9 ITC 2012). Egg-to-migrant survival rate is defined as the pro- portion of fertilized eggs that survive to migrate as fry or parr into the Lower Green, as quantified by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) smolt trap at river mile 34. Although, the average rate for wild Chinook populations is 10.4 percent (Quinn 2005), the WRIA set a target of 8 percent because the elevated proportion of hatchery fish on the spawning grounds is assumed to reduce reproductive fitness (see VSP diversity metric below). Between 2006 and 2018, the survival rate has ranged from 0.09 percent to 11 percent, with an average of 5.7 percent (Table 1). While the long-term average is below the target, the egg-to-migrant survival rate has exceeded the 8 percent target in five of the last 10 years of data. VSP-Spatial Structure The WRIA has not directly tracked a specific indicator or metric for spatial structure. However, natural origin adults predominantly spawn in Newaukum Creek and the mainstem Green River. Recent changes to hatchery operations will maintain the area in Soos Creek above the weir as a natural production empha- sis area with only natural-origin adults passed above the weir. Adult Chinook will not be passed upstream of Howard Hanson Dam (HHD) in order to access the upper watershed until downstream fish passage is provided at HHD. A 2019 Biological Opinion (BiOp) issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found that the construction of a downstream fish passage facility at HHD was nec- essary for the recovery of Chinook salmon, steelhead, and Southern resident orcas. It sets a 2030 deadline for construction and operation of a downstream fish passage facility. For the spatial structure of the population to improve, natural origin spawners are needed within both of these areas that were part of their historic range. 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020NUMBER OF SPAWNERSTotal spawners Natural origin 10-Yr. VSP goal (range) AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 30 VSP-Diversity Diversity is the variety of life histories, sizes, and other characteristics expressed by individuals within a population. WRIA 9 has used three metrics to mea- sure diversity: • Percentage of hatchery origin spawners. The target is for fewer than 30 percent hatchery origin Chinook spawners (HSRG 2004). The target has not been met since 2002, and since plan adoption in 2005, the proportion of hatchery fish on the spawn- ing grounds has ranged from 35 percent to 75 per- cent and has appeared to be increasing (Table 1); • Percentage of juvenile Chinook that outmigrate as parr. Based on recent analyses, this indicator is influenced by basic habitat capacity, the number of natural origin spawners, and the streamflows experienced during rearing (Anderson and Topping 2018). As such, tracking the percentage of parr is no longer recommended as a reliable metric for evaluating diversity of the population. However, the metric does continue to provides important popula- tion-level information related to productivity; and • Proportion of natural origin adults that return as five- and six-year old fish, with a simple target of an increasing percentage of older fish returning over time. Since 2005, there have been no six-year old fish, thus monitoring data reflect only five-year old Chinook. Excluding 2009, which was an outlier year with the lowest return of adults on record, the proportion of five-year olds has ranged from a high of 17 percent to a low of 1 percent (Table 1). The average percent return from 2006 to 2015, 14.4 per- cent, is similar to the average over the last 46 years of 15.4 percent. Habitat Goals – Implementation Targets Habitat goals outline both the necessary future ecological conditions to support a viable salmon population and shorter term implementation targets designed to assess plan implementation progress. WRIA 9 developed goals for key ecological indicators that reflect priority habitat needs and environmental stressors that span all life stages of Chinook salmon – adult migration, spawning, incubation and emergence, stream rearing, downstream migration, estuary rearing, and nearshore foraging. The indicators and associated goals presented in Table 2 are organized by subwatershed. This Plan Update does not outline specific goals related to marine migration outside of WRIA 9 boundaries. WRIA 9 developed long-term goals – or necessary future conditions – during the development of the 2005 plan using scientific guidance developed by the Puget Sound Technical Recovery Team. The 2004 WRIA 9 Strategic Assessment and 2005 Salmon Hab- itat Plan summarize the full suite of necessary future conditions to support a viable salmon population in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Wa- tershed. They were not amended as part of this Plan Update. The subset of necessary future conditions outlined in Table 2 represents a strategic subset that can be readily assessed related to project implemen- tation across shorter intervals of time. Table 2 also outlines updated short term – 10 year – habitat targets used to directly track plan imple- mentation. The 10-year targets were developed by the WRIA 9 Implementation Technical Committee based on a review priority stressors, limiting factors, implementation progress under the 2005 Plan, and a review of common indicators proposed for regional tracking by the Puget Sound Partnership. Specific targets are intended to be aspirational and reflect the significant level of investment needed to substantive- ly advance recovery within the watershed. The Mon- itoring and Adaptive Management chapter summa- rizes recommended methodology and timelines for periodic assessments of these and other longer-term status and trends indicators (e.g., water temperature, contamination).

(Continued) AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 33 Chapter 5: Strategic Assessment Update - New Science on Priority Pressures The 2005 Strategic Assessment provided the scien- tific foundation for the Salmon Habitat Plan. Although the majority of science remains relevant today, new research findings have refined our understanding of priority pressures and limiting factors related to Viable Salmon Population (VSP) criteria. The 2005 Strategic Assessment evaluated functional linkages between priority pressures; habitat conditions; and Chinook abundance, diversity, productivity and spatial struc- ture. The functional linkages were used to create a series of conservation hypotheses that outlined how improvements in habitat conditions and natural pro- cesses will drive changes in VSP parameters. From 2017-2018, WRIA 9 produced a series of white papers as addendums to summarize new research and address priority data gaps in the original 2005 Strategic Assessment. White papers included Fish Habitat Use & Productivity (Higgins 2017); Water Temperature (Kubo 2017); Contamination (Colton 2018); and Climate Change (Engel, Higgins and Ostergaard 2017). This chapter provides a summary of the highlights of those papers as they relate to priority pressures impacting Chinook salmon in the Green/ Duwamish Watershed. These refinements in our understanding of priority pressures informed both the recovery strategies presented in Chapter 6 and the prioritization of capital projects in Chapter 7. Priority Pressures (Basin of Focus) Addressing priority habitat stressors is critical to restoring a viable salmon population in the Green/ Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed. The following stressors have clear functional linkages to one or more VSP parameters (abundance, pro- ductivity, diversity, and spatial structure). Applicable research and monitoring information is highlighted to reflect new research and best available science since the 2005 Plan. Altered Instream Flows (Middle Green, Lower Green) Watershed Status Operations at Howard Hanson Dam (HHD) and the Tacoma Headworks diversion dam regulate instream flows within the mainstem Green River below river mile 64.5. Water storage, diversion, and release are jointly managed by the U.S. Army Corps and Taco- ma Water utility. Although flood risk reduction is the primary mission of HHD, water storage also supports Tacoma municipal and industrial uses, and fish con- servation uses. In 2007, Tacoma Water’s Additional Water Storage Project provided capacity to store an addition 20,000 acre-feet (ac-ft) for municipal use. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 34 Figure 7. Howard Hanson Dam spring water storage and allocation. Water capture and storage generally occur between late February and June 1. Figure 7 depicts how a spring water storage target of 49,000 ac-ft is legally allocated between municipal and fish conservation uses. Phase 2 of the Additional Water Storage Project (to be completed at a later date following down- stream fish passage) would raise the conservation pool to 1,177 feet and store an additional 12,000 ac-ft of water. The U.S. Army Corps convenes a bi-weekly Green River Flows Management Coordination Com- mittee to inform water capture and a subsequent flow augmentation period that extends from July 15 to November depending on fall rainfall. Augmentation of flows is intended to support Chinook salmon migra- tion and spawning, maximize summer rearing habitat, and minimize dewatering of steelhead redds. Lim- ited Fish Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration allotments frequently require tradeoffs among these ecological benefits – especially in dry and/or warm years with low snowpack. The Tacoma Water Habitat Conservation Plan establishes a minimum stream flow of 225 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the Auburn Source: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District. gauge. During the summer of 2015, the minimum flow at the Auburn gauge reached 226 cfs. Although flows are not regulated in tributaries, in- streams flows are impacted by stream withdrawals and groundwater wells used to support residential and agricultural uses. In 2018, the Washington Leg- islature passed the Streamflow Restoration Law to offset the impacts of future permit exempt domestic groundwater withdrawals and help restore instream flows. The law was in response to a 2017 Washington State Supreme Court decision (Hirst Decision) that restricted building permits for new residential homes that would be reliant on permit-exempt wells. The legislature appropriated $300 million over 15 years to support implementation of projects to improve stream flows across the state. The Washington State Department of Ecology is developing a Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Plan to identify and prioritize water offset projects in WRIA 9.

As a result, water storage and subsequent release timing not only impacts natural hydraulic processes, but also influences available salmon habitat and produc- tivity. Maintaining minimum instream flows of 250 cfs during dry summer months provides important benefits to available fish habitat. However, associated water capture and storage has reduced the frequency and magnitude of high – habitat forming – flows while prolonging the duration of moderate flows (Higgins 2017). Moderate flows between 5000-8000 cfs are not sufficient to drive process-based habitat formation, but do have the potential to scour redds (R2 Re - source Consultants 2014). Climate Change (Watershed-wide) Watershed Status Climate change science was not incorporated into the 2005 Plan because future climate scenarios were unclear. However, climate change has been the focus of intense research, both global and regional, over the last decades. This research highlights the need to prepare for the current and future impacts of climate change and incorporate what we know about climate change into salmon recovery actions. Climate change will directly impact salmon recov- ery work in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watershed. The UW Climate Impacts Group (Mauger et al. 2015) and others predict that Pacific Northwest precipitation patterns will change, bring- ing warmer, wetter falls, winters, and springs. Floods will be more intense and more frequent, with peak flows expected to increase by 28-34 percent by 2080. As winters become warmer and wetter, the water- shed is projected to shift from mixed rain and snow to a rain-dominated basin with less mountain snow melting earlier in the spring. The decrease in amount and earlier disappearance of the snow pack will exacerbate drought-like summer low flow conditions in currently snow-dominated areas of the watershed. Summertime rain is expected to decrease by ~22% by 2050. A projected 4-5°F increase in air tempera- tures will increase water temperature in both rivers and the ocean. Nearshore and estuary areas will be impacted by sea level rise, food web alteration and ocean acidification. A changing climate will exacer- bate typical climate variability, causing environmental conditions that will negatively impact our salmonids and their habitat. The potential impacts to various life histories of salmonids, including Chinook salmon, as a result of climate change are summarized in Figure 8. Flows above 8,800 cfs are needed to initiate lateral channel migration and support creation of off-channel habitats that are critical for juvenile Chinook rearing (Konrad et al. 2011). Long-term juvenile Chinook outmigration data col- lected by WDFW highlights the function relationship between instream flows and Chinook productivity (Anderson and Topping 2018). High flows (between ~8,000–10,000 cfs) from November through mid-Jan- uary appear to scour eggs, sharply reducing the overall productivity of the number of juveniles per spawner. High flows (~6,000-8,000 cfs) during the typical fry outmigration period (mid-January through the end of March) reduce the number of parr pro- duced in the Middle Green, likely because fish are flushed into habitats downstream of the trap. The frequency of spring flows (April through June) above 1,200 cfs appears to increase the number of parr produced. This is likely due to increased connectivity to off-channel habitats, like side-channels. A separate study (R2 Resource Consultants 2013) showed that, at flows below 1,200 cfs, side channel habitats become less connected to the mainstem and overall habitat complexity decreases.

May also decrease spawning fecundity (e.g. Chinook). Decreased summer low flow may contribute to increased tempera-ture, decrease rearing habitat capacity for juvenile salmonids, and decrease access to or availability of spawning areas. Increased winter floods may increase scour of eggs, or increase mortaility of rearing juveniles where flood refugia are not available, displace juveniles to less desira ble habitats. Loss of spring snowmelt may decrease or eliminate spawning opportunities for steelhead, may alter survival of eggs or emergent fry for other salmonid species, cause early dewatering of o- channel and side channel habitats, and reduce connectivity to the floodplain.

Research/Monitoring A changing climate will exacerbate typical climate variability causing environmental conditions that will negatively impact our salmonids and their habitat. The summer of 2015 likely provided a glimpse of the future ecological conditions in the Green/Duwamish watershed. A warm, wet winter with extreme low snowpack levels, coupled with a dry, hot summer, created dire conditions for salmon. (DeGasperi 2017) The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe reported adult Chinook salmon dying in the stream just below the Soos Creek hatchery (H. Coccoli, pers. comm.), and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) data indi- cated higher than typical numbers of female Chinook mortality with high egg retention (pre-spawn mortal- ity) (Unpublished WDFW data). Other sublethal im- pacts associated with temperatures in excess of 17°C can include developmental abnormalities, altered growth rates, and non-fertilization of eggs; altered migration timing; altered predator/prey relationship; and reduced disease resistance. Sea level in Puget Sound rose 20 centimeters from 1900-2008 and scientists project sea level will rise an additional 0.6 meters by 2100. A 1-foot increase in water surface elevation means an order of magnitude increase in high water events—so a 100-year event turns into a two year event (Mauger et al. 2015). Sea level rise will have myriad effects on the marine nearshore habitats, including increased bank/bluff erosion, landslides, and lost nearshore habitats (e.g., eelgrass, forage fish spawning habitat, estuary mudflats, etc.) due to the “coastal squeeze” adjacent to armored shorelines. In addition, increased risk of erosion could contribute to a growing demand for additional shoreline armoring. Figure 9. Coastal squeeze in nearshore graphic along the Puget Sound Nearshore refers to the shallow areas where forage fish spawn and are being squeezed out of existence by shoreline armoring and sea level rise (Coastal Geologic Services). AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 38 A growing body of research is focusing on the po- tential impacts of ocean acidification on the Puget Sound ecosystem. Ocean acidification is driven by the absorption of carbon dioxide and is expected to impact survival, growth and behavior of marine organisms. In addition to observed impacts to calci- fying organisms (e.g., oysters and crab) there is more recent evidence that ocean acidification may impair sense of smell in salmon, impede growth in herring and other species, and alter plankton populations – which may have a cascading impact on marine food webs. Experiments have shown that coho salmon’s ability to avoid predators declines and risk of being eaten increases in low pH waters (Dunagan 2019). Although considerable uncertainty surrounds the potential impacts of ocean acidification on salmon, there is potential for it to exacerbate the issue of marine survival. Elevated Water Temperatures (Watershed-wide) Watershed Status Water temperature is a key determinant of the bio- logical integrity of a river – especially as it relates to cold-water dependent salmonids. High water temper- atures can act as a limiting factor for the distribution, migration, health and performance of salmon. Wash- ington State’s water quality standards are protective of viable salmonid habitat in the Green River by assigning a numeric criterion of 16°C, above which the water body is considered impaired (WAC 173- 201A-602). A supplemental criterion of 13°C, in effect between September 15 and July 1 further protects sal- monid habitat. The widespread removal of tall, native trees along the riparian corridor – especially in the middle and lower Green River – allows solar-atmos- pheric radiation to rapidly warm water as it moves downstream below HHD. As a result, large stretches of the Green River, Soos Creek and Newaukum Creek regularly exceed established water quality standards for temperature. In 2011, the Washington State Department of Ecology developed total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the Green River and Newaukum Creek that outlined an implementation plan for improving temperatures. Another TMDL for Soos Creek is under development. The Green/Duwamish experienced widespread po- tentially lethal water temperatures in 2015 (DeGasperi 2017). In response, WRIA 9 led the development of the Re-Green the Green: Riparian Revegetation Strategy (2016) to emphasize the critical need for increasing riparian canopy and to prioritize revegetation efforts within the watershed. The strategy was adopted as an addendum to the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan. It incorporated solar aspect shade maps published in 2014 by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe to prioritize areas where increased tree canopy – and thus shade – could provide the largest benefit to preventing ele- vated water temperatures. It also established reveg- etation goals that were directly incorporated into this Plan Update. WRIA 9 developed a Re-green the Green grant program using Cooperative Watershed Management funds from the Flood Control District to accelerate revegetation efforts across the watershed. Research/Monitoring In addition to periodic exceedances of potential lethal water temperatures, a review of 7-DMax water temperatures at Whitney Bridge (RM 41.5) shows that instream temperatures regularly exceed established thresholds for sublethal impacts to salmon. Figure 10 shows 7-DMax temperatures from 2001-2016 in rela- tion to key Chinook salmon life history stages. These data suggest migration, early spawning, egg incuba- tion, yearling and parr rearing all potentially subject to sublethal impacts associated with elevated water temperatures. A literature review completed for WRIA 9 (Kubo 2017) provides a summary of potential temperature-relat- ed impacts to Chinook salmon. Adult fish migrating upstream may be subject to increased metabolic demand, delayed migration, increased disease expo- sure, decreased disease resistance, and even direct mortality. Spawning fish may experience reduced gamete quality and quantity and reduced fertilization success. Chinook eggs may be subject to reduced embryo survival, decreased hatching-emergence condition, increased abnormalities, and altered meta- bolic rates. Juveniles and outmigrants may be subject to reduced feeding and growth rates, increased dis- ease susceptibility, and accelerated onset of smoltifi- cation and desmoltification. Although many impacts may be sublethal, they can contribute to an increase in delayed mortality. Protecting and restoring mature riparian tree canopy, protecting cold water sources, and promoting hy- porheic exchange between the river/floodplain and the alluvial aquifer are essential to build ecological AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 39 Figure 10.

By 2080, it is expected that the number of river miles exceeding salmonid thermal tolerances (>18°C) will increase by 70 miles in the Green/Duwamish watershed (G. Mauger 2016). One study suggests that warming of 2-5.5°C could result in the loss of 5-22 percent of salmon habitat by 2090 (O’Neal 2002). Fish Passage Barriers (Watershed-wide) Watershed Status: Fish passage barriers are a critical obstacle to Chinook salmon recovery in the watershed. The presence of Howard Hanson Dam and the Tacoma Headworks Diversion facility block access to approx- imately 40 percent of the historical Chinook salmon spawning and rearing habitat (NOAA 2019). This barrier alone blocks access to somewhere between 78-165 miles of suitable fish habitat. The 2005 Plan assumed fish passage would be provided by 2015. Ta- coma completed an upstream trap and haul facility at the headworks facility in 2007; however, downstream fish passage at Howard Hanson Dam has not been completed. Predicted temperature increases, lower summer flows and altered precipitation patterns are likely to exacerbate temperature-related stress for Chinook salmon. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 40 In 2019, the NOAA Fisheries released a biological opinion (BiOp) that concluded U.S. Army Corps operations at Howard Hanson Dam would “jeopardize the continued existence of ESA-listed Puget Sound (PS) Chinook salmon, PS steelhead, and Southern Resident killer whales (SRKW), and that the proposed action is likely to result in the adverse modification of these three species’ critical habitat designated under the ESA.” In issuing the jeopardy opinion, NOAA stat- ed that without fish passage the population’s abun- dance, productivity, and spatial diversity could not achieve established viability criteria, thus increasing the risk of extirpating the population. In order to avoid jeopardizing ESA-listed Chinook, the BiOp concluded that the U.S. Army Corps must provide operational downstream fish passage no later than February 2031. The resulting facility would be required to satisfy established performance criteria, including achieving 98 percent survival of all fish passing through the facility. The BiOp states that if established performance standards are satisfied, the Upper Green watershed could support self-sustaining populations of Chinook salmon and steelhead, “dra- matically improving the likelihood that the Chinook salmon population would achieve a highly viable status.” In addition to HHD, an unknown number of smaller fish passage barriers impact Chinook salmon move- ments within the watershed. There is a growing recognition that a number of barriers associated with smaller tributaries adjacent to roads, revetments and flood control structures block juvenile access to critical rearing habitats. One of the larger existing barriers is the Black River Pump Station. The pump station is a flood control facility built in 1970, located near the mouth of the Black River. While the facility was originally constructed with both upstream and downstream fish passage facilities, they are outdat- ed and currently do not meet federal fish passage criteria (Jacobs 2020). In its current state, the facility limits both upstream and downstream fish passage and restricts access to over 50 miles of stream, including Springbrook Creek, Panther Lake Creek, Garrison Creek, and Mill Creek. Although the majority of stream habitat is primarily suitable for coho and steelhead, Chinook salmon have been found in the system, and the area immediately upstream of the facility could provide important rearing and refuge habitat for juvenile Chinook. Research/Monitoring A 2019 study evaluating the use of small non-natal trib- utaries (streams that do not support Chinook spawn- ing) by juvenile Chinook highlighted the importance of these habitats for both juvenile rearing and flood refuge. Juvenile Chinook were identified in eight of the nine tributaries sampled in the Lower Green River basin and were found up to 480 meters above the con- fluence with the Green River. The results demonstrated (1) widespread use of non-natal tributaries for extend- ed lengths of time; (2) heavily urbanized streams with a large amount of impervious surfaces appear capable of supporting non-natal juvenile rearing; (3) juvenile up- stream passage is an important consideration for fish barriers; and (4) variability in flapgate performance for juvenile fish passage (King County 2019). A follow-up study was funded by WRIA 9 in 2019 to assess flapgate performance and identify potential retrofit and replace- ment options to improve juvenile passability. Long-term fish-in fish-out monitoring by WDFW indicates that Chinook salmon population produc- tivity is limited by available rearing habitat and that parr outmigrants disproportionately contribute to the abundance of returning adults (Anderson and Topping 2018). Restoration of non-natal tributaries has the potential to complement ongoing restoration efforts in the Lower Green River mainstem to provide additional capacity to support fry growth into parr prior to outmigration to the Duwamish estuary. Larger (basins >100 acres), low-gradient (<2%) tributaries likely provide a large amount of rearing habitat and support higher densities of juvenile Chinook (King County 2019; Tabor et al. 2011; Tabor and Moore 2018; Tabor, Murray and Rosenau 1989; Scrivener et al. 1994; Bradford et al. 2001). Non-natal tributaries provide important rearing and refuge habitat in the Lower Green subwatershed. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 41 Land Conversion (Watershed-wide) Watershed Status Located within the greater Seattle metropolitan area, population growth and economic development have significantly modified the watershed, its underlying hydrology, and the salmon habitat within it. In ad- dition to legacy impacts (Chapter 3 of 2005 Plan), the watershed experienced tremendous population growth and development in the 15 years since the 2005 Salmon Plan. The population of King County population swelled approximately 25 percent, adding an additional 444,000 residents (U.S. Census Bureau 2019; King County 2006). During the same timeframe, 46,000 new housing units were constructed in the watershed (WA Dept. of Commerce 2017). The extensive development pressures within the watershed – especially in the Nearshore, Duwamish and Lower Green watershed – have degraded large portions of the watershed from natural conditions. In addition to direct habitat loss, land conversion contributes to increased impervious coverage and stormwater runoff. Refer to the Stormwater section in this chapter for additional information on stormwater impacts on salmon. Approximately 32 percent of the watershed is located within established urban growth areas (UGAs). Competition for scarce available land contributes to high restoration/acquisition costs and the loss of restoration priorities to redevelopment pressures.

Only about 3 percent of housing units con- structed in the watershed since the 2005 Plan have occurred outside of UGAs (WA Dept. of Commerce 2017). While this is a positive outcome, a compreo- hensive assessment of changes in forest cover and impervious surfaces has not been completed since 2006. In addition, the basin-wide effectiveness of critical area and shoreline protections has not been assessed. A WRIA 9-funded study of marine shoreline development from 2016-2018 observed a net increase in shoreline armoring and permit compliance rates below 50 percent (King County 2019). Additional information about the status of marine shorelines is presented in the Shoreline Armoring section. Levees and Revetments (Middle and Lower Green) Watershed Status An extensive network of flood containment and train- ing levees and revetments protect economic develop- ment and agricultural land in the Lower and Middle Green River valleys. In total. there are approximately 36 miles of levees and revetments in the watershed. Over 27 miles of facilities provide flood protection for the Lower Green River valley – the second larg- est warehouse and distribution center on the west coast. The valley contains $7.3 billion of structures and associated content, supports over 100,000 jobs, and generates an annual taxable revenue of $8 billion (Reinelt 2014). Flood control facilities degrade floodplain function and reduce habitat complexity. They disconnect large portions of the historical floodplain, off-channel hab- itats, and tributaries – all important juvenile salmon rearing and refuge habitats. Associated vegetation maintenance standards limit riparian revegetation and contribute to elevated instream temperatures. Facilities also disrupt sediment delivery and filtration, water storage and recharge, and large wood input to the river channel. In addition to the direct impacts of the facilities, they also support land use development on historic floodplains habitats. Due to the diversion of the White and Black rivers, much of the “connected” floodplain is perched above the river channel and only connected during very high flows. Current flows with a 100-year flood event equate to an historic two-year event (King County 2010). At these flows, only 18 percent (3,518 of 19,642 acres) of the historic Lower Green River floodplain is connected (Higgins 2017). The loss of juvenile ChiT- nook salmon-rearing habitat reduces juvenile survival and overall population productivity. Restoration of floodplain habitat in the Lower Green River valley not only requires levee setbacks, but also requires ex- tensive fill removal to reconnect perched floodplains across a larger range of flows. Research/Monitoring Since the 2005 Plan, studies have shown higher growth rates for Chinook salmon accessing flood- plains when compared to fish rearing exclusively in the mainstem. Increased growth likely results from increased food availability and foraging efficiency in floodplain habitats (Henning 2004; Sommer et al. 2001; Jeffres, Opperman and Moyle 2008; and Lestelle et al. 2005). This research also suggests that any increased risk of stranding during retreating flows is offset by the potential for increased growth rates. These studies emphasize how important flood- plain habitats are to juvenile Chinook growth and provide an important context for understanding how the magnitude of habitat loss in the Lower Green and to a lesser extent in the Middle Green have impacted juvenile Chinook production locally. Analysis of juvenile life history success in adult Green River Chinook salmon (2015-2017) found parr outmi- grants disproportionately contribute to adult returns relative to their abundance. Although parr comprised 3-56 percent of the out-migrating juveniles, more than 97 percent of returning adults were found to have exhibited the parr life history. In comparison, the parr life history is reflected in 64 and 76 per- cent, respectively, of the adult returns in the Skagit and Nooksack watershed (Campbell and Claiborne 2017; Campbell et al. 2019). These data indicate that Chinook salmon life history success varies between watersheds and that productivity (adult spawner abundance) in the Green is currently driven by parr production, as juveniles exhibiting the fry life history rarely survive to adulthood. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Sediment Contamination (Duwamish) Watershed Status Industrial and commercial development in the Duwamish estuary not only led to dredge and fill of historical estuarine wetlands, but also left a legacy of persistent contaminants within the working water- front. Two Superfund sites require additional clean-up in the Duwamish, the Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW) and Harbor Island/East Waterway (EW). Both sites contain elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic, carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs), as well as dioxins and furans. The EPA’s Record of Decision for the LDW (2014) outlines the cleanup plan for the 412 acre site, which includes 105 acres of dredging or partial dredging, 24 acres of capping, 48 acres of enhanced natural remediation and 235 acres of monitored nat- ural attenuation. Although early action areas (Slip 4, Terminal 117, Boeing Plant 2/Jorgensen Forge, Diag- onal Combined Sewer Overflow [CSO], and Norfork CSO) resulted in cleanup of approximately 50 percent of PCB contamination, cleanup will not be completed until after 2031. Cleanup options for the EW site are under development. Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 43 Figure 12. Spawners-recruit plots showing abundance of fry and parr produced based on estimated adult Chinook salmon escapement (Anderson and Topping 2017). An analysis of long-term juvenile outmigration data collected by WDFW identified a density-dependent relationship between adult spawner abundance and relative parr abundance (Anderson and Topping 2018). Figure 6 shows that adult escapements in excess of 3,000 fish did not generally result in increased parr production. In contrast, fry production was observed to be density independent. Juvenile Chinook require rearing and refuge habitats (e.g., off-channel habitats, side-channels, etc.) to grow into parr prior to outmigration. When considered in con- cert with the Campbell and Claiborne studies, these results highlight the importance of reconnecting floodplains and restoring rearing habitat to increasing Chinook returns. Productivity in the Green/Duwamish is currently constrained by available rearing habitat in the Lower and Middle Green rivers.NUMBER OF FRYNUMBER OF JUVENILESSPAWNERS ABOVE TRAP 0 1,000 2,000 5,0003,000 4,000 6,000 7,000 100,000 0 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 200,000 400,000 600,000 800,000 NUMBER OF FRYSPAWNERS ABOVE TRAP 0 1,000 2,000 5,0003,000 4,000 6,000 7,000NUMBER OF PARR100,000 0 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 44 Transport pathways carry contaminants from sources to surface waters, as well as within surface waters. Contaminants reach the Green/Duwamish receiving waters via point discharges (permitted industrial, stormwater and CSOs discharges), overland flow (stormwater runoff), groundwater, and direct atmo- spheric deposition, as well as by spills/leaks and bank erosion. Fish are exposed to chemicals through multiple routes including water passing through their gills and/or its ingestion, direct sediment contact and/or its ingestion, and/or through consumption of contaminated prey. Chinook experience greater chemical exposure during the juvenile phase than during the adult phase due to the comparatively different lengths of time they spend in the Duwamish during these life stages (Colton 2018). Although the 2005 Salmon Plan hypothesized that sediment cleanup would benefit Chinook salmon, limited scientific data were available on the potential impacts of sediment contamination on productivity at the time. Research/Monitoring A growing body of research findings suggests that contaminant exposure for juvenile Chinook salmon in the Duwamish and Elliott Bay is affecting juvenile Chinook salmon growth, disease resistance, and immunosuppression, and ultimately marine survival. Juvenile Chinook salmon rearing in industrial estuary and nearshore habitats (e.g., Duwamish, Puyallup and Snohomish) contain elevated levels of organic contaminants as compared to those rearing in less developed watersheds (Skagit and Nisqually) (O’Neil et al. 2015; Varanasi et al. 1993). Juvenile Chinook salmon whole body PCB tissue concentrations from the Duwamish and associated nearshore areas have exceeded adverse impact thresholds (O’Neil et al. 2015; Johnson 2007). PCB levels in wild fingerlings have also been shown to have significantly higher PCB levels than their hatchery counterparts, suggest- ing that wild Chinook have a longer residence time within the Duwamish estuary (Nelson, et al. 2013). An examination of 37 years of hatchery data from 20 hatcheries across 14 watersheds found 45 percent lower smolt-to-adult survival rates for hatchery Chi- nook that outmigrate through contaminated estuaries as compared to uncontaminated estuaries (Meador 2014). The study evaluated the findings against the total amount of estuary habitat, length of freshwater habitat between each hatchery and estuary, as well as growth rates and did not find these factors could explain observed variation in survival rates. Because wild Chinook – especially the fry outmigrant life his- tory type – are more dependant on and have longer residence times in estuarine habitat, the observed decline in survial may be more pronounced in wild Chinook salmon. A recent study by scientists at the NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center estimated the potential impact remediation of the Lower Willamette River Su- perfund site would have on Chinook salmon recovery (Lundin et al. 2019). The study used a combination of field and laboratory-collected exposure, growth, and disease resistance data to estimate acute and de- layed mortality rates for juvenile Chinook. These esti- mates were then incorporated into a life cycle model that estimated sediment remediation could improve juvenile survival by 54 percent and increase popula- tion abundance by 20 percent. This study provides a population-scale assessment of the potential impacts of legacy pollutants on Chinook salmon and suggests that remediation in the Duwamish could be a signifi- cant driver for Chinook recovery. Figure 13. Chinook salmon that enter the estuarine waters as fry (< 60 mm) experience very low marine survival rates. In contrast to less developed watersheds, estuarine-reared fry in the Green/Duwamish are not contributing significantly to adult returns. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 45 The research on potential adverse impacts to juvenile Chinook as a result of contaminant exposure is con- sistent with a recent analysis of juvenile life histories expressed by adult Chinook salmon in the Green/Du- wamish River. Analysis of otoliths from returning adult salmon allow resource managers to back-calculate size upon entry in marine waters, allowing differentia- tion between parr and fry migrants. Otolith collection from adult Chinook salmon (2015-2017) indicate that less than 3 percent of fish returning to the water- shed entered marine waters as a fry migrant, despite representing between 44 and 97 of the total juvenile outmigrants (Campbell and Claiborne 2017; Campbell et al. 2019). Additional research is needed to assess the relative importance of contamination in relation to other stressors (i.e., existing estuarine habitat quality and capacity) in contributing to poor marine survival. Stormwater (Nearshore, Duwamish, Lower and Middle Green) Watershed Status Stormwater runoff and associated hydrological modifications resulting from forest conversion and land use development within the Green/Duwamish watershed adversely impact water quality and salmon habitat. Approximately 59 and 24 percent, respectively, of the 165-foot riparian buffer in the Duwamish and Lower Green is characterized by im- pervious surfaces (King Co. unpublished data, 2013). Although watershed-wide data are not available, the impacts associated with the loss of forest cover and increase in impervious surfaces are not confined to riparian areas. At the basin-wide scale, these levels of impervious coverage can contribute to a two-three fold increase in stormwater runoff above natural conditions (Paul and Meyer 2001). Increased runoff contributes to rapid changes in flows, with larger peak flows and lower low flows; increased pollutant transport and degradation of water quality; shifts in benthic macroinvertebrates communities; elevated water temperatures; increased bank erosion and sediment transport capacity; and altered channel morphology and hydraulics. The majority of the development within the water- shed – and across Puget Sound – predates existing critical area ordinances and low-impact development standards designed to mitigate impacts to aquatic ecosystems. As a result, stormwater runoff is recog- nized within the region as one of the more significant challenges facing both salmon and Puget Sound recovery efforts. Research/Monitoring Since the 2005 Plan, a significant body of research has focused on stormwater toxicity impacts to salm- on in urban creeks. Consistently high levels of mor- tality (up to 90 percent) in adult coho salmon have been observed in urban watersheds, with the extent of mortality rate related to an urbanization gradient and, more specifically, density of motor vehicle traffic (Scholz 2011; Feist 2017 ). More recent studies have connected observed mortality events to pollutants associated with highway runoff (Scholz 2016; Peter 2018). Research suggests that juvenile Chinook that enter the Duwamish as fry – as opposed to parr – experience very low survival and do not substantively contribute to population abundance as measured by adult escapement. Chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) are another area of emerging research. The EPA defines CECs as “chemicals and other substances that have no reg- ulatory standard, have been recently ‘discovered’ in natural streams (often because of improved analytical chemistry detection levels), and potentially cause del- eterious effects in aquatic life (e.g., endocrine disrupt- ers) at environmentally relevant concentrations” (EPA 2008). CECs include hormones, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and industrial process chemicals. An analysis of juvenile Chinook whole body tissue in several Puget Sound estuaries detected 37 of 150 surveyed PPCPs (Meador et al. 2016). Metabolic disruption consistent with starvation was also observed in juvenile Chinook collected ad- jacent to waste water treatment plants in Sinclair Inlet and the Puyallup River (Meador 2018). The potential impacts to Chinook salmon growth, reproduction, and behavior are not well understood. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 46 6/2/13 3/5/15 Although Chinook salmon do not appear vulnerable to acute toxicity as a result of roadway runoff exposure (Scholz 2019), more research is needed to evaluate potential sublethal impacts. Figure 14. Shoreline modification identified during Marine Shoreline Monitoring and Compliance Project (Ecology). Although studies have shown treatment of runoff can prevent acute toxicity, the large capital expenditures associated with stormwater retrofits have precluded widespread implementation. A comprehensive needs and cost assessment for stormwater retrofit within the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound wa- tershed was completed in 2014. The study evaluated 278 square miles of the watershed, excluding Seattle and areas upstream of Howard Hanson Dam. An esti- mated $210 million per year would need to be spend over the next 30 years to build necessary regional facilities, retrofit roads and highways, and retrofit non-forested lands not redeveloped within the next 30 years (King County 2014). Shoreline Armoring (Nearshore) Watershed Status The Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound watershed encompasses 92 linear miles of marine shoreline. Associated nearshore habitats provide not only important rearing and migratory habitat for juve- nile salmon, but also spawning habitat for forage fish (e.g., sand lance and surf smelt), which are important prey items for salmon, birds and marine mammals. Delivery of sediment and trees from natural bluffs helps sustain nearshore habitat complexity (beaches, spits, eelgrass beds, etc.) and shoreline resilience to coastal erosion and sea level rise. The degradation of marine shorelines and associated ecological functions has implications not only for Chinook salmon recovery, but also for the ESA-listed southern resident orca population. Shoreline armor – especially along feeder bluffs – disrupts sediment supply and transport, altering nearshore habitat quantity and quality. Shoreline land use ranges from commercial and industrial waterfront in Elliott Bay, urban residential between Seattle and Federal Way, to rural residential and undeveloped shorelines along Vashon Island. Approximately 65 percent of the shoreline is currently armored and only 22 of 52 drift cells have greater than 50 percent of historical feeder bluffs intact (King County 2019; WRIA 9 2012). AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 47 Research/Monitoring Recent research reinforces assumptions in the 2005 Plan about the importance of nearshore habitats to salmon. The range of physical and biological impacts in response to shoreline armoring varies across spa- tial and temporal scales. Shoreline armoring impacts wrack and log accumulation, juvenile fish utilization, forage fish spawning, beach profiles, sediment grain size, and marine riparian vegetation. In particular, drift cells with a high proportion of armoring tend to be characterized by skinnier beaches, coarser sedi- ments, fewer drift logs, fewer prey species (Dethier et al. 2016). Natural shorelines convey important benefits to juvenile Chinook salmon. Small juvenile salmon preferentially use low-gradient, unarmored shorelines (Munsch, Cordell and Toft 2016). Riparian vegetation associated with unarmored beaches provide a source of terrestrial prey items for juvenile Chinook and ben- efit forage fish egg survival by moderating substrate temperatures and maintaining humidity (Rice 2006; Toft, Cordell et al. 2007). Even small-scale beach restoration projects (i.e., Olympic Sculpture Park) have resulted in measurable increases in larval fish abun- dance, juvenile salmon, and invertebrate diversity as compared to adjacent armored shorelines (Toft, Ogston et al. 2013). The magnitude of unpermitted shoreline modifica- tions threatens to negate investments in shoreline restoration and undermine the goal of “no net loss” established within the Shoreline Management Act. From 2013-2018, the watershed saw a net increase of 364 feet of shoreline armor despite armor removal and restoration of 382 feet shoreline during the same timeframe. Only 42 percent of observed shoreline modifications were permitted by local governments prior to construction (King County 2019). Although juvenile Chinook from the Green/Duwamish River have been observed to use the marine shore- lines throughout Central Puget Sound, considerable uncertainty surrounds the relative importance of non-natal coastal streams and pocket estuaries. A study in the Whidbey Basin found abundant use of non-natal coastal streams (32 of 63 streams) by juve- nile Chinook. The presence of juvenile Chinook was influenced by (1) distance to nearest natal Chinook salmon river; (2) stream channel slope; (3) watershed area; and (4) presence and condition of a culvert at the mouth of a stream. The importance of non-natal coastal streams to juvenile Chinook salmon dropped significantly beyond 7 km from the mouth of a Chi- nook bearing river (Beamer, et al. 2013). Additional research is needed to prioritize non-natal coastal streams in WRIA 9 with respect to potential contribu- tion towards Chinook salmon recovery. Despite the recognized importance of natural shorelines and significant regional investment in armor removal, WRIA 9 continues to experience a net increase in shoreline armoring. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 48 AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 49 WRIA 9 developed 11 overarching recovery strategies to organize watershed priorities and guide future investments. These strategies outline priority areas of focus intended to advance salmon recovery over the next 10-20 years. Recovery strategies are not prioritized. Implementation across the portfolio of recovery strategies is necessary to address priority pressures; increase salmon abundance, productivity, and diversity; and build long-term population resil- iency. Successful implementation hinges on partner coordination and investment to ensure local land use planning, capital investment programs, and commu- nity outreach messaging are consistent with identi- fied watershed priorities. WRIA 9 hosted a series of subwatershed workshops to review and update policies and programs from the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan. Revised policies and programs are organized by recovery strategies – as opposed to subwatershed – to reduce redundancy and improve alignment with other Puget Sound salmon plan updates. This structure is intended to provide project sponsors and other recovery part- ners a streamlined communication tool for a shared understanding of what needs to happen, where, and what policy considerations are necessary at the local and regional level to advance Chinook salmon recovery. Strategy: Restore and Improve Fish Passage Location: All Subwatersheds Fish passage barriers block access to important spawning and rearing habitat and can exacerbate localized flooding issues. Legacy transportation and flood control infrastructure were not regularly de- signed for fish passage and/or elevated flood flows associated with climate change. Although address- ing fish passage barriers was a priority in the 2005 Plan, a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affirmed that the State has a treaty-based obligation to address culverts under state-maintained roads in order to preserve tribal harvest rights within their usual and accustomed areas. This ruling has reinforced the need and elevated the urgency for addressing identi- fied barriers in a systematic and strategic manner.

Programs »Fish Passage Barrier Removal WRIA 9 partners should work towards a compre- hensive inventory of fish passage barriers in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Wa- tershed, and prioritize barrier removal across the watershed to maximize the benefit of fish passage investments. Although the majority of existing barriers in the watershed impact coho salmon and steelhead, special consideration should be given to removing barriers to non-natal tributary rearing habitats. Recent fish monitoring studies have demonstrated the importance of non-natal tributaries to juvenile Chinook and remedying these barriers will expand available rearing habitat and increase Chinook productivity. Recent fish moni- toring studies have demonstrated the importance of non-natal tributaries to juvenile Chinook (King County 2019; Tabor and Moore 2018) and reme- dying these barriers will expand available rearing habitat and increase Chinook productivity. Many partner jurisdictions do not have the capacity to implement a programmatic approach to barrier identification and removal; instead, barrier removal is driven by infrastructure repair needs and local capital improvement programs. Some, such as the City of Seattle, have an inventory and prioritized list of fish passage barriers but lack sufficient funding for implementation. To support a more compre- hensive approach to fish passage, WRIA 9 partners should leverage available technical assistance from Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Fish Passage and King County Fish Pas- sage Restoration Programs to assess and prioritize barriers for removal outside of their scheduled capital improvement programs to expedite high- priority barrier removals. Jurisdictions should apply for funding for high-priority projects through the Brian Abbott Fish Barrier Removal Board. Regional coordination among WRIA 9 partners on fish barrier removal priorities should help identify synergies and accelerate barrier removal in priority subwa- tersheds. Programmatic improvements within the County Fish Passage Restoration Program may support increased efficiencies within other jurisdic- tions. Fish passage accomplishments and lessons learned should be shared regularly to expedite bar- rier identification and increase coordination across the watershed. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 51 Policies »Fish Passage (FP) 1: Provide efficient and safe fish passage where built infrastructure (e.g., road cross- ings and flood control facilities) intersects instream habitats. Fish passage design considerations should not only facilitate adult upstream migration, but also ensure juvenile salmonid access to rearing habitat provided in non-natal tributaries. Project sponsors should use WDFW Water Crossing Design Guidelines (2013) to assess feasibility and support alternative development. Strategy: Protect, Restore and Enhance Floodplain Connectivity Location: Lower and Middle Green The process of channel migration within the floodplain creates side channels, back-water sloughs, and other off-channel habitats that are critical for juvenile salm- on rearing and refuge. Floodplains also facilitate an exchange of nutrients and organic material between land and water, and provide important flood storage capacity that can mitigate flood damages to adjacent communities. The historic loss of flood- plain habitat within the Green/Duwamish watershed resulted in a loss of habitat complexity, increased peaks flows and water velocities, and a loss of groundwater storage and important cold water recharge during summer months. Flow regulation at Howard Hanson Dam and the diversion of the White River into the Puyallup River has reduced the frequency and mag- nitude of flood events and left much of the floodplain perched well above the current river channel. Reconnecting floodplains and restor- ing floodplain habitats is essential to increas- ing both the available rearing habitat and corresponding salm- on productivity of the system. Figure 17.

Implementation relies on individual capital projects that will be identified in project list. Policies »Floodplain Connectivity (FC) 1: Support multi-benefit flood risk reduction projects that also enhance salmon habitat by allowing rivers and floodplains to function more naturally. Multi-benefit projects can (1) reduce community flood risk; (2) provide critical salmon habitat; (3) increase floodplain storage; (4) improve water quality; (5) replenish groundwater; (6) expand public rec- reation opportunities; and (7) strengthen commu- nity and ecological resilience to extreme weather events due to climate change. »FC2: Wherever possible, flood protection facilities should be (re)located away from the river edge to reconnect floodplains and re-establish natural riv- erine processes. During conceptual design of alter- natives, project sponsors should evaluate opportu- nities to pursue relocation of existing infrastructure and real estate acquisition to support levee set- backs. A process-based approach to restoration is ideal for species recovery; however, where a levee setback is infeasible due to the constraints of past land use activity, alternative facility designs (e.g., levee laybacks) should strive to incorporate plant- ing benches and wood structures that mimic lost ecosystem services and improve critically needed edge habitat. »FC3: Local government should utilize critical areas and shoreline regulations and associated land use policies to protect creek riparian areas and asso- ciated floodplains to increase the flood storage capacity of these areas. »FC4: Vacating and relocating roads should be evaluated as tools to support salmon restoration priorities where impacts are negligible and/or can be mitigated. Coordinating transportation infra- structure improvements with salmon habitat needs (e.g., floodplain reconnection and fish passage) can improve outcomes and reduce project costs. Road vacation policies should be updated to consider level of use and road standards. Strategy: Protect, Restore, and Enhance Channel Complexity and Edge Habitat Location: Lower, Middle and Upper Green Flood protection facilities (e.g., Howard Hanson Dam, revetments, and levees) and loss of riparian habitat have disrupted sediment transport, simplified hab- itat complexity, contributed to a loss of rearing and refuge habitat, and impeded natural recruitment of spawning gravels. Although process based restora- tion is preferred, ongoing intervention is necessary to replace/mimic natural processes where they cannot be restored. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 53 Programs »Middle Green River Gravel and Wood Supplementation Program The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Tacoma Pub- lic Utilities should continue gravel and wood sup- plementation in the Middle Green River to account for disruption of natural sediment transport and wood recruitment caused by Howard Hanson Dam. Up to 14,000 tons of spawning gravels are deposit- ed annually at two sites located near river mile 60, just downstream of the Tacoma Headworks Facility. High flows during the winter months engage the deposited gravel and naturally distribute it down- stream. Regular monitoring of gravel distribution should inform quantity, size gradation, and timing to maximize benefits for salmonids. The U.S. Army Corps Corps should continue to transport large wood (> 12 in. diameter; > 20 ft. in length; >4 ft. diameter root ball) that is stranded in the reservoir to below the Tacoma Headworks Facility. Large wood increases channel complexi- ty, provides habitat for juvenile fish, and provides nutrients and substrate for aquatic insects. The upper watershed is heavily forested and large wood is transported to the reservoir during high flow events, but is unable to move downstream of the dam without intervention. Existing quantities of large wood downstream of the dam remain signifi- cantly below recommended wood volumes (Fox and Bolton 2007) to support salmon recovery. Peri- odic surveys should be completed to monitor large wood volumes and ensure project success. Policies Channel Complexity (CC) 1: Project designs should incorporate best available science related to climate change predictions and anticipated changes to seasonal instream flow patterns to enhance channel complexity and edge habitat across a range of flows. Lower spring and summer flows could make restored rearing habitat inacces- sible during juvenile Chinook outmigration. Special consideration should be given to project designs that ensure juvenile salmon rearing habitat remains accessible in low flow years. »CC2: For habitat restoration projects calling for the addition of large woody debris, placement of wood should consider risk to river users, such as boaters and swimmers. Strategy: Protect, Restore, and Enhance Riparian Corridors Location: All Subwatersheds Healthy riparian corridors provide a critical role in pro- viding cool and clean water for salmon. Riparian vegeta- tion shades instream habitat and moderates water tem- peratures; reduces erosion by stabilizing streambanks; captures rainwater and filters sediment and stormwater pollutants; provides terrestrial nutrient and food inputs; and is a source of large wood, which is critical to habitat complexity. Restoring riparian corridors is essential to addressing high summertime water temperatures and building long-term resilience to predicted changes as- sociated with climate change. The Washington State De- partment of Ecology (Ecology) developed total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the Green River and Newaukum Creek in 2011 that outlined an implementation plan for improving temperatures. Another TMDL for Soos Creek is under development. Refer to the “Integrate Agricultur - al Protection and Salmon Recovery Initiatives” strategy for a discussion of riparian corridors within agricultural lands. Programs »Re-Green the Green Revegetation Program The 2016 Re-Green the Green Strategy prioritizes riverine, estuarine and marine areas for revegetation, establishes interim goals, and outlines strategies for securing necessary funding. Riparian revegetation priorities are based on the solar aspect shade maps developed by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (2014). This effort identified and prioritized shorelines where shade is critically needed to reduce instream water tempera- tures that frequently exceed water quality standards. WRIA 9 should continue to run an annual grant pro- gram that supports program implementation across priority shoreline areas. As of 2020, approximately $500,000 of annual Cooperative Watershed Manage- ment Funds provided by the King County Flood Con- trol District have been set aside to support Re-Green the Green project implementation by WRIA 9 partners. This funding is intended to provide a baseline level of revegetation funding that can be leveraged to access other sources of funding. Riparian revegetation proj- ects help improve water quality, lower water tempera- tures, stabilize shorelines, contribute insects (prey) for juvenile salmonids, increase stormwater infiltration, and improve aquatic habitat quality when trees fall into the river.

The goal reﬂects a proportion of the total riparian buer (developed and undeveloped) that has less than 50% tree cover. 15 watershed partners have revegetated 414* acres along 75,314 linear feet (14.3 miles) of shoreline in the Green/Duwamish watershed—that’s nearly 5 Foster Golf Courses or 235 Sounders soccer ﬁelds of new revegetated shoreline!

Progress towards the watershed revegetation goals established in the WRIA 9 Re-Green the Green Strategy. »Implement coordinated and comprehensive approach to noxious/invasive weed removal along river and marine shorelines WRIA 9 partners should coordinate with the King County Noxious Weed Removal Program to prior- itize and sequence weed removal efforts through the watershed. Noxious weed control should be conducted in parallel with priority riparian reveg- etation efforts. Ongoing invasive removal on res- toration sites is critical until native plants become established (~ five years). Invasive plants spread quickly, impede growth and establishment of natives, and degrade riparian habitats by destabilizing riverbanks and reducing tree canopy needed to help maintain cool water temperatures. Priority species impacting the ripar- ian community in the Green/Duwamish include knotweed species (Class B), purple loosestrife (Class B), policeman’s helmet (Class B), English ivy (Class C), Himalayan blackberry (Class C), and reed canary-grass (Class C). »Long-term Restoration Site Stewardship and Maintenance WRIA 9 partners should explore potential funding sources for a professional stewardship/mainte- nance crew to provide long-term site maintenance of restoration sites across the watershed. Salmon recovery funding generally does not provide for site maintenance beyond several years, and main- tenance typically falls outside the scope of regular park maintenance operations. A shared mainte- nance crew would provide cost savings to jurisdic- tions for maintenance of the growing portfolio of restoration sites. Priority tasks for a crew would include invasive species removal, planting as needed, and litter cleanup. In addition to these basic functions, this crew could play an important role in helping to manage the growing challenge of encampments within the Green River corridor. This program would ensure a regular staff presence at restoration sites to assist with outreach and public safety in addition to enhancing long-term ecological outcomes. In AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 55 addition, a shared crew would address stewardship and maintenance needs at sites that are not suitable for citizen volunteers. Policies »Riparian Corridor (RC) 1: Protect and enhance ri- parian corridors to help achieve temperature water quality standards established to protect salmon mi- gration, spawning and rearing. Local governments should support implementation of the Green River and Newaukum Creek TMDLs by protecting and re-establishing mature riparian vegetation within established stream buffers. »RC2: Revisit levee vegetation guidelines to im- prove revegetation opportunities along flood facilities. Guidelines must balance the critical need for riparian shade (i.e., Ecology TMDL) with the need to inspect the structural integrity of facilities and maintain public safety. Remote sensing (i.e., ground-penetrating radar, drones, or boat inspec- tions) may provide a viable alternative to traditional visual inspections that require a clear zone. »RC3: Project sponsors who receive WRIA 9 fund- ing should request funding for up to three years post-construction maintenance funding for plant establishment, and should document the ability to maintain habitat restoration and protection projects to ensure long-term objectives are achieved. Main- tenance may include, but is not limited to, noxious weed and invasive plant control, revegetation, and deterrence of undesired uses such as dumping and occupancy that can damage habitat. »RC4: River corridor trails should be compatible with salmon recovery priorities. Trail design standards should balance the need for riparian tree canopy to maintain cooler water temperatures with needs for important recreational view corridors and sight- lines for user safety. Trail design/placement should also not preclude reconnection of critically needed floodplain habitats. Trails offer residents an oppor- tunity to connect with the river; interpretive signage should highlight the presence of salmon and the ecological importance of riparian and floodplain habitat. »RC5: Encourage regional efforts to develop a Bon- neville Power Authority (BPA) mitigation program for power transmission impacts across Puget Sound. The BPA has a significant footprint within the Upper Watershed and the Soos Creek Basin where vegetation management and tree removal under transmission lines precludes adequate ripari- an canopy cover. Although the BPA has established mitigation programs for Columbia basin operations, a comparable program does not exist within Puget Sound. Strategy: Protect, Restore, and Enhance Sediment and Water Quality Location: All Subwatersheds Clean, cold water is essential for salmon growth and survival. A growing body of evidence suggests clean- up of legacy industrial contamination and stormwater pollution control may improve early marine survival and increase Chinook productivity. Recent scientific literature suggests contaminant exposure pathways (e.g., legacy industrial contamination, stormwater run- off, municipal wastewater discharges, etc.) are having sublethal and lethal impacts on juvenile Chinook salmon. Although the acute toxicity of stormwater runoff to coho salmon in urban watersheds is well documented, potential sublethal impacts to juvenile Chinook salmon as a result of contaminate exposure pathways are not well understood. Programs Green/Duwamish Watershed Pollution Loading Assessment (PLA) Ecology should continue to lead development of a pollutant loading assessment (PLA) that will (1) include a watershed-based model to evaluate cumulative effects of pollution; (2) assess relative contribution of toxic pollutants from different sources/pathways in the watershed; and (3) help prioritize source control efforts. The PLA is essential to maximizing effectiveness of Lower Duwamish Waterway cleanup and avoiding subsequent recon- tamination. The PLA is an interim strategy for improving water quality – it is not a TMDL or another regulatory AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 56 instrument. It represents a foundational effort that will inform future actions to address source control issues. Following its completion, WRIA 9 partners should coordinate with Ecology to address priority pollutant sources within their jurisdictions. Implement Pollution Identification and Control (PIC) Programs The Vashon-Maury Pollution Identification and Con- trol (PIC) program provides incentives (technical support and financial) to replace or repair failing septic systems, and address other pollution sources (e.g., animal waste) contributing to water quality degradation in the marine nearshore. Failing or inappropriately sited septic systems have resulted in water quality concerns and closure of beach and shellfish harvest areas – especially within Quarter Master Harbor. While the direct impact on shellfish harvesting is a human health concern, the water quality pollution can negatively affect various parts of the nearshore ecosystem that supports Chinook salmon. Although the 2005 Salmon Plan focused on Quarter Master Harbor, PIC programs should be expanded to other nearshore areas as warranted to identify pollution sources, provide technical support, and offer financial incentives to remedy failing septic systems and other sources of pollution. Over the last decade, investments made by Public Health— Seattle & King County and other partners have resulted in improved water quality and reopening of 493 acres of shellfish harvest areas. Creosote Removal Program WRIA 9 organizations should partner with the Washington Department of Natural Resources Creosote Removal Program to identify and remove creosote-treated debris and derelict structures from marine and estuarine waters. Creosote structures leach chemicals and can create toxic conditions for organisms that live within beach and marine sediments, as well as disrupt the marine foodweb. Studies have found creosote exposure can contrib- ute to mortality of herring eggs and alter growth and immune function of juvenile salmonids. Dere- lict structures can also interrupt sediment transport and displace aquatic vegetation. Since adoption of the 2005 Plan, the program has removed over 21,000 tons of creosote debris and 8.0 acres of overwater structures from Puget Sound. However, thousands of derelict creosote pilings re- main within Puget Sound. WRIA 9 partners should continue efforts to inventory and prioritize focus areas based on concentration of creosote debris and potential impacts to forage fish and juvenile salmon rearing. Policies »Water Quality (WQ) 1: Promote Low-Impact Devel- opment (LID) and green infrastructure (natural and engineered systems) to address stormwater runoff. Given the magnitude of development constructed prior to existing stormwater controls, extensive stormwater retrofits are needed to address legacy sources of water pollution. LID techniques should mimic, where possible, pre-disturbance hydrologi- cal processes of infiltration, filtration, storage, evap- oration and transportation. LID techniques include: • Vegetation conservation: native vegetation and small-scale treatment systems; • Site design: clustering of buildings and narrower and shorter roads; • Retention systems: bioretention, bio-swales, rain gardens, wetlands and vegetated roofs; • Porous or permeable paving materials: sidewalks, trails, residential driveways, streets, and parking lots; and • Rainwater catchment: rain barrels and cisterns. Green Infrastructure: Green infrastructure is an approach to water management that protects, restores, or mimics the natural water cycle. Green infrastructure is effective, economical, and enhances community safety and quality of life. – American Rivers AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 57 Figure 19.

Potential priorities include: • Collaborative source control strategies such as education and outreach, business inspections, pollution prevention, and programmatic mainte- nance; • Regional retrofit programs focused on restoring natural hydrology and the removal of toxics; and • Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) incentive programs that promote the voluntary use of GSI. »WQ3: Source control efforts across multiple sectors (commercial, industrial, and agricultural) should ensure that water and sediment quality support salmon growth and survival. Source control suffi- ciency is a critical milestone that must be achieved to initiate contaminated sediment cleanup. Ensur- ing implementation, maintenance, and enforce- ment, where necessary, of source control best management practices will help reduce pollutant loading into water bodies and ensure pollutants don’t undermine sediment cleanup efforts in the Duwamish. Incentives to promote effective source control include spill prevention and response, technical support, and hazardous waste vouchers to local businesses. »WQ4: Protect and enhance rural and urban for- ests, which provide diverse social, economic and ecological benefits. In Rural Areas of King County, at least 65 percent of each sub-basin should be preserved as natural forest cover and impervious coverage should not exceed 10 percent of a sub- basin. Where forest cover exceeds this threshold, the goal of no net loss in forest cover should be pursued. In Urban Growth Areas, local govern- ments should adopt goals to achieve 30-40 percent ecologically healthy urban tree canopy coverage and reduce impervious surfaces. Adopting goals specific to riparian canopy could help prioritize riparian restoration. Local education, outreach, and incentive programs should be supported to in- crease urban forestry programs and associated tree canopy coverage. »WQ5: Ensure cost-share agreements between the U.S. Forest Service, Washington Department of Natural Resources, Tacoma Water, and private landowners are maintained and that road mainte- nance and abandonment plans achieve sediment reduction goals. Support opportunities to abandon unnecessary forest roads as they are identified to reduce overall road density. »WQ6: Support regional and state legislative efforts to reduce the risk of oil spills in Puget Sound and ensure the state remains a leader in oil spill preven- tion and response. Over 20 billion gallons of oil are transported through Washington each year by ves- sel, pipeline and rail. A catastrophic spill could cost the region over $10 billion and impact over 150,000 jobs. It would also cause significant harm to aquatic ecosystems and disrupt maritime industry, recre- ation, and tourism. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 58 »WQ7: Local governments should adopt the Inter- agency Regional Road Maintenance Endangered Species Act Program Guidelines, as amended, for maintenance of existing infrastructure. Govern- ments should participate in the associated Regional Forum to support ongoing adaptive management to improve outcomes. Strategy: Protect, Restore and Enhance Marine Shorelines Location: Marine Nearshore Marine nearshore habitats, including beaches, pocket estuaries, eelgrass beds, inlets, and deltas, provide important rearing and migration habitat for juvenile Chinook salmon and many other animals in Puget Sound. They are also critical spawning habitat for forage fish – a key prey species for Chinook salmon. Decades of alteration and armoring of the Puget Sound marine shoreline has reduced shoreline length and habitat complexity, disrupted sediment supply and transport, and eliminated forage fish spawning habitat. Restoring natural shorelines will increase nearshore productivity and salmon growth and survival in the marine environment. Figure 20.

Programs »Develop/maintain a “Toolbox” of Shore Friendly Alternatives for Privately-Owned Shorelines (aka Do-it-yourself approach for residential shoreline improvement) WRIA 9 partners should develop a “shoreline toolbox” to provide shoreline owners guidelines for implementing shore friendly alternatives that clearly outline stewardship concepts and best manage- ment practices for private shorelines. It should not only outline the range of alternatives for different shoreline types (e.g., beach and bluffs), but also highlight important design, feasibility, maintenance, and permitting considerations when considering shoreline improvements. Topic areas should include native shoreline vegetation, erosion control, shore- line access, docks, and stormwater management. The toolbox should be designed to supplement shoreline workshops and technical assistance programs and could be made available online to provide guidance to property owners who may elect to take a “do-it-yourself approach” to shoreline management. It should be tailored to reach private landowners and contractors and connect them with available local and regional resources. The toolbox should draw from regional efforts such as WDFW’s Marine Shoreline Design Guidelines, the Shore Friendly King County collaborative, Green Shores for Homes, and Green Shorelines for Lake AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 59 Washington and Lake Sammamish, and highlight local examples of shore-friendly approaches within WRIA 9. »Expand Shore-Friendly Technical Assistance and Cost-Share Programs to Accelerate Armor Removal and Soft Shoreline Protection (aka Supported Approach for Residential Shoreline Improvement) Access to technical information about shoreline erosion and protection alternatives and the finan- cial costs associated with marine shoreline armor removal have been identified as key barriers to motivating shoreline landowners to consider soft shoreline protection. Soft shoreline protection is less preferred than outright removal, but prefera- ble to traditional hard armor in that it helps main- tain and enhance some natural marine shoreline functions (e.g., sediment transport and delivery). Bulkhead removal is expensive and site-specific erosion risk is not conducive to the use of standard models or templates for soft shore protection. In addition, many landowners and consultants are unfamiliar with how to design/implement success- ful soft shoreline protection projects. Technical assistance to help landowners better understand risk, to provide design and permitting support, and to assist with access to cost-share funding should help to overcome existing barriers to armor removal on private property and promote expansion of soft shoreline protection alternatives. The King Conservation District (KCD) has histori- cally provided technical assistance on environmen- tally friendly ways to manage shoreline properties, including shore-friendly alternatives to traditional bulkheads. The KCD also has a cost-share incentive program to encourage revegetation and removal of existing armor and/or soft shore protection designs where site-specific conditions allow. In 2020, KCD established a Shore Friendly King County collabo- rative between multiple partners. This program is seen as part of a local adaptation of the regional Shore Friendly approach to reducing marine shore- line armoring. Although this is an existing program, additional resources are needed to expand ca- pacity. Landowners are identified through parallel marine shoreline landowner workshops. Priority should be given to currently unarmored shorelines and armored properties where site-specific factors (e.g., structure location, fetch, bank/bluff geology, etc.) make armor removal and/or soft shoreline protection alternatives feasible. »Implement Acquisition Strategy to Protect and Restore Functioning Nearshore Habitats Acquisition of priority marine shorelines supports conservation and restoration of critical nearshore processes and rearing habitats used by multiple stocks of juvenile Chinook – including Green/Du- wamish Chinook. A number of planning efforts have identified and prioritized conservation of nearshore habitats within WRIA 9, including the Prioritiza- tion of Marine Shorelines of WRIA 9 for Juvenile Salmon Habitat Protection and Restoration (2006), Vashon-Maury Island Greenprint (2007), and the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project Strategies for Nearshore Protection and Restoration in Puget Sound (2012). Although many of the highest priority sites have been specifically identified as unique projects within the Habitat Plan, WRIA 9 should support opportunistic acquisi- tion of other functioning nearshore habitats if they become available. Although the bulk of the acquisition opportu- nities for functioning habitats are located on Vashon-Maury Islands, additional opportunities exist on the mainland nearshore. Successful im- plementation of a nearshore acquisition strategy requires consistent outreach to landowners and operational flexibility to capitalize on acquisition opportunities before they are lost. The sale of prop- erties previously unavailable for decades frequently can represent a once in a generational opportunity to protect a priority stretch of marine shoreline. In- dividual acquisition opportunities should be evalu- ated based on ecological value/potential of near- shore habitat and risk of development. Available funding sources to support acquisition include King County Conservation Futures, King County Flood Control District Cooperative Watershed Manage- ment Program and Coastal Erosion Program, Wash- ington Department of Fish and Wildlife Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program, and various Washing- ton State Recreation and Conservation Office grant programs. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 60 Policies »Nearshore (NS) 1: Avoid shoreline infrastructure or stabilization except where demonstrated to be nec- essary to support or protect a legally-established primary structure, critical public infrastructure, or shoreline use in danger of loss or substantial damage. Support armor removal and alternative approaches to shoreline stabilization (e.g., setbacks and relocations) where feasible to reduce impacts to existing natural shoreline processes. Protection and restoration of important sediment sources (e.g., feeder bluffs) is needed to restore nearshore processes and sediment transport. Where the need for bank stabilization is supported by analysis of a geotechnical engineer, “soft” shoreline stabiliza- tion techniques (e.g., bioengineering techniques and vegetation enhancement) should be required where feasible. “Soft” stabilization measures should be designed to preserve or restore natural shoreline processes (e.g., sediment transport). “Hard” shore- line stabilization should only be allowed where softalternatives do not provide adequate protection. Refer to WDFW Marine Shoreline Design Guide- lines, Green Shores for Homes, Integrated Stream- bank Guidelines, and Stream Habitat Restoration Guidelines for additional guidance. Primary Structure: Structural improvement that is essential to the primary use of the property. Structures that function as secondary or subordinate to the primary use of a property are considered an accessory use. »NS2: Encourage multiple family/neighborhood use of docks, boat ramps, and beach access stairs. Local jurisdictions should minimize impacts to the nearshore marine environment by encouraging consolidation/joint-use of structures that could serve multiple landowners. Opportunities to pursue joint-use should be evaluated during development and redevelopment. Boat docks, ramps and beach access stairs can shade aquatic vegetation, disrupt juvenile salmon migration and foraging, alter near- shore sediment transport and degrade nearshore habitats (e.g., eelgrass). Possible incentives include permit streamlining, fee reductions, and dimension- al incentives (e.g., increased length, width, etc.). »NS3: Jurisdictions should promote derelict vessel prevention and coordinate with Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) on der- elict vessel removal. Derelict vessels can contribute to contamination of aquatic lands, degrade water quality, and damage sensitive aquatic habitats (e.g., eelgrass). Although the WADNR Derelict Vessel Removal Program has removed more than 580 ves- sels from marine waters, local efforts are critical to ensuring effective prevention and rapid response. »NS4: Support beach nourishment, where appropri- ate, to offset interruption of natural sediment supply and transport caused from extensive shoreline modifications (e.g., bulkheads, etc.). Beach nourish- ment has been used successfully to protect shore- lines, restore natural beach profiles, and enhance nearshore habitats. »NS5: Support regional efforts to identify and test actions to increase juvenile survival during outmi- gration through Puget Sound and increase local ef- forts to stabilize or improve foodweb function such as forage fish habitat protection and restoration. Strategy: Protect, Restore and Enhance Estuarine Habitat Location: Duwamish The Duwamish estuary provides critical rearing habi- tat for juvenile salmon as they make the physiological transition from fresh to saltwater habitats. Industri- al development within the Duwamish valley drove extensive fill of tidal wetlands, armoring of shore- lines, and navigational dredging. The modifications AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 61 straightened the estuary and eliminated 98 percent of the historic wetlands. Despite the magnitude of loss of habitat, the Duwamish continues to play a critical role in supporting juvenile Chinook salmon. Both cleanup of legacy industrial contamination within the Lower Duwamish Superfund Site and restoration of shallow water rearing habitat are needed to increase juvenile salmon survival and overall productivity with- in the watershed. Figure 21. Duwamish Gardens created 1.3 acres of shallow water rearing habitat in a critically important transition zone of the Duwamish Estuary. Subsequent monitoring has documented extensive use of the site by juvenile Chinook salmon. Photo: Mike Perfetti. Program »Implement and Adaptively Manage the Duwa- mish Blueprint The Duwamish Blueprint outlines strategic guid- ance for governments, businesses, non-profit or- ganizations and citizen groups working to improve the estuarine ecosystem and increase juvenile salmonid productivity. It identifies approximately 100 acres of shallow water habitat restoration po- tential within the Duwamish estuary transition zone (RM 1-10). Many of the habitat opportunities are conceptual and have not been prioritized. Periodic evaluation of conceptual opportunities is needed to elevate and refine project ideas as the Duwamish landscape changes (e.g., Superfund cleanup, Natu- ral Resource Damage Assessment [NRDA], and real estate availability). Restoration in the Duwamish is complex, expensive, and will require flexibility, innovation, and extensive coordination and collaboration to be successful. The former Duwamish Blueprint Working Group, which was convened to develop the Blueprint, would provide a framework to facilitate coordina- tion across key partners. WRIA 9 partners should leverage the Blueprint Working Group to identify opportunities to enhance partnerships to (1) pursue larger project footprints; and (2) overcome barriers to implementation. Given limited land availability, WRIA 9 should opportunistically evaluate potential acquisitions and consider elevating conceptual projects as part of adaptive management based on habitat benefit, acquisition feasibility, and readiness. Policies »Duwamish Estuary (DE) 1: Engage in the Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW) Superfund cleanup process to coordinate and sequence potential salmon habitat projects with Superfund activities to maximize benefits to salmon recovery. Strategic acquisition should be prioritized over habitat project construction prior to competition of the LDW clean- up to avoid potential contaminated sediments and minimize potential for re-contamination. »DE2: Engage with NRDA trustees and potentially liable parties to inform project development and design and maximize potential benefit to salmon re- covery. NRDA settlements within the Duwamish will result in large capital investments in habitat resto- ration that should provide a significant lift to salmon recovery. Coordination with the NRDA process will also support identification of potential synergistic opportunities, and help identify and resolve barriers to maximize restoration outcomes. For example, it may be possible to leverage NRDA settlements to expand existing and/or planned restoration projects. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 62 Although NRDA has a broader scope than Chinook salmon recovery, priority NRDA habitats signifi- cantly overlap with salmon recovery needs in the Duwamish (e.g., estuarine marshes, intertidal mudflats, and riparian habitats). Tracking NRDA project implementation will be important to under- standing the status of habitat restoration efforts in the Duwamish. Given the existing uncertainty associated with juvenile Chinook survival in the Duwamish, WRIA 9 should engage with the trust- ees to share emerging research, exchange lessons learned in restoration, inform adaptive manage- ment of restored sites, and identify priority sites for restoration. »DE3: Encourage the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Port of Seattle to identify strategies for dredging that: (1) minimize impacts to salmon hab- itat and (2) improve salmon habitat through use of beneficial re-use where suitable. Soil contamination may limit opportunities for re-use. Strategy: Protect, Restore and Enhance Instream Flows and Cold Water Refugia Location: Lower, Middle and Upper Green Green River flows are regulated to support both flood control and water supply needs. The Tacoma Water Habitat Conservation Plan requires maintenance of minimum instream flows during summer months. Although water capture and storage behind Howard Hanson Dam (HHD) support maintenance of mini- mum instream flows and periodic flow augmentations during summer and early fall, it can also reduce the frequency of high flow events that drive lateral chan- nel migration (i.e., habitat forming flows) and availa- bility of juvenile Chinook rearing habitat throughout spring. Low snowpack and drought conditions ex- acerbate already difficult tradeoffs in timing of water release designated for fish conservation purposes. Water temperatures also regularly exceed established water quality standards for Salmon Core Summer Habitat and Spawning Habitat. Climate change forecasts predict the watershed will experience reduced snowpack, lower summer time flows, and elevated instream temperatures. These changes will impact the already difficult reservoir refill strategies at HHD, potentially putting greater stress on refilling earlier and having a bigger impact on juvenile Chinook habitat. Prolonged low flows can cutoff access to critical rearing habitats and exacerbate high instream temperatures. High water temperatures can delay adult migrations, contribute to increased susceptibility to disease, and even be lethal above 23°C. Protecting instream flows and cold water refugia is essential to strengthening watershed resilience to climate change. Cold-water refugia are characterized as being at least 2°C colder than the daily maximum temperature of adjacent waters. Programs »Develop Watershed Management Plan to Address Permit-Exempt Well Development WRIA 9 partners should coordinate on develop- ment of the Ecology’s Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Plan to assess and offset potential consumptive impacts of new rural, domestic water use on stream flows in the Green/Duwamish water- shed. Maintaining legally established minimum in- stream flows has proven challenging during recent years with below average precipitation. Climate change models indicate that changes in precipita- tion patterns could exacerbate streamflow issues and further stress salmon. Implementation of the plan is required to not only offset permit exempt domestic water use, but also provide for a net ecological benefit. The legislature plans to direct $300 million in funding through 2035 to benefit fish and streamflows. WRIA 9 should position itself to leverage this funding source to support implementation of appropri- ate projects in this plan that meet the flow or net ecological benefit guidance and/or develop addi- tional project elements that do so. If instream flows remain problematic in the future, additional consid- eration should be given to integrating other cate- gories of water use into an expanded Watershed Management Plan and implementation program. »Develop a Strategy to Protect and Restore Habi- tat in the Upper Green River and its Tributaries Conduct a planning effort to develop a long-term, comprehensive approach to protecting and restor- ing ecosystem processes in the Upper Green River subwatershed.

The project protected cool waters from a natural spring. complicates land management and a strategic approach is needed to leverage the relatively intact upper watershed to maximize benefits for salmon and steelhead recovery. Access to the upper water- shed has long been identified as critical to long- term salmon recovery. However, the delay of fish passage and the degraded condition of the lower watersheds have resulted in limited investments in the upper watershed. Projected shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns associated with climate change further emphasize the critical importance of this landscape to long-term salmon recovery. A number of assess- ments should be completed to inform a strategic approach to management of the upper watershed, including: • Visualizing Ecosystem Land Management As- sessments (VELMA): Quantify long-term effects of forest management and climate scenarios on salmon habitat (i.e., hydrological flow regimes and instream temperatures); • Model intrinsic habitat value of stream segments within the upper watershed to inform conserva- tion and restoration priorities; • Beaver Assessment: Assess current activity, mod- el potential benefits, and explore potential reintro- duction if warranted; and • Assess important wildlife migratory corridors and key landscape level linkages to inform acquisition priorities. The results of these assessments should be used to prioritize salmon recovery investments in the upper watershed with respect to potential land consolida- tion, land use management changes, and potential road abandonment. Policies »Stream Flows (SF)1: Support reevaluation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water storage sched- ule and Fish Conservation Guide Curve at HHD to increase benefits for salmonids while maintaining downstream flood control benefits. The current water capture period overlaps the juvenile Chinook rearing period and impacts accessibility and/or amount of important rearing habitats during outmigration. Utilize the existing Green River Flow Management Coordination Committee to assess fish habitat needs based on best-available science and basin-specific climate change projections. »SF2: Protect existing cold water refugia and en- hance water storage and hyporheic exchange by reconnecting historic floodplain habitats to instream habitats. These habitats facilitate heat dissipation and provide an influx of cooler waters to moderate seasonal fluctuations in stream tem- AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 64 peratures and flows, providing physiological and ecological benefits for cold-water salmonids. »SF3: Support forest management and harvest rotation programs that increase hydrologic function and improve base flows to minimize impacts on sal- monid habitat, support climate change resiliency, and maintain viable silviculture. Additional research is necessary to quantify potential benefits. »SF4: Manage groundwater in conjunction with surface water withdrawals to provide instream flows and water temperatures that support adult salmonid spawning and juvenile rearing. Local gov- ernments, water purveyors, and state and federal regulators should: • Protect groundwater resources and critical aqui- fer recharge areas; • Manage groundwater and surface water with- drawals seasonally to maximize the benefits to salmonid habitat; • Develop drought management plans to supply safe and reliable drinking water while minimizing impacts to salmonids during periods of drought; • Ensure rural domestic use does not adversely impact salmonid habitat; • Support water rights acquisition programs that can augment chronic low flows; and • Limit or preclude mining and other significant excavation activities that could adversely impact groundwater hydrology. »SF5: Support expansion of reclaimed/recycled wastewater to reduce demands on stream and ground withdrawals. Reclaimed wastewater can be used safely and effectively for non-drinking water purposes such as landscape and agricultural irrigation, heating and cooling, and industrial pro- cessing. Reclaimed water is available year-round, even during dry summer months or when drought conditions can strain other water resources. See also policies SW4-6 above. Strategy: Expand Public Awareness and Education Location: All subwatersheds Education and outreach are fundamental to protect- ing and restoring salmon. It raises awareness, builds political support, and promotes positive behaviors that benefit salmon. Long-term salmon recovery will not be successful without public support. Broad- based community support provides political leverage to protect and expand local, state and federal invest- ments in habitat restoration. It is also helps promote positive behavior change and minimize behaviors that can negatively impact salmon or undermine recovery investments. For example, ecological gains associat- ed with marine shoreline restoration in WRIA 9 have been predominantly offset by new armor installations. General outreach is not sufficient to drive widespread and long-lasting behavior change. Targeted social marketing strategies must identify and overcome both real and perceived barriers to promote positive behaviors that contribute to salmon recovery. Programs »Implement a Comprehensive Communications Plan to Promote Behavior Change that Expedites Salmon Recovery in WRIA 9 Integrate lessons learned from the regional Shore Friendly programs into a locally adapted commu- nication plan designed to increase implementation of behaviors that support salmon recovery. Key outcomes include: • Increased public recognition of the urgency around salmon recovery and connection to southern resident orcas; • Improved public understanding and stewardship of riverine and nearshore ecosystem processes that support salmon and forage fish; • Technical assistance provided to interested shoreline residents; • Target audiences make informed decisions based on knowledge of Shore Friendly practices, climate resilience, and adaptation; • A suite of tools and incentives developed to address identified barriers to adoption of desired behaviors; AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 65 • Messaging and outreach tailored to contractors and realtors; • The value of riparian vegetation is communicat- ed to the public, including riverside landowners, elected officials, and trail/park users; and • Partners conducting outreach and education receive positive reinforcement and feedback from the salmon recovery community. Additional effort is needed to refine target audi- ences and develop associated social marketing approaches. The intent of the communication plan should be to build awareness, expand stewardship, and promote advocacy. A regional Social Marketing Strategy to Reduce Puget Sound Shoreline Armor- ing was developed for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2015. A Green/Duwamish River Revegetation Outreach and Engagement Plan was developed in 2019. These plans provide an ex- isting framework that can be expanded to integrate other priority salmon recovery issues. »Expand Volunteer Stewardship Increase citizen participation through new steward- ship programs and by expanding and supporting existing stewardship programs that engage vol- unteers in restoring, maintaining, and monitoring habitat protection and restoration projects. These projects not only benefit salmon recovery, but also improve stormwater retention, carbon sequestration and wildlife habitat and include important themes and messages for participants to change behavior at home. Local volunteer programs should: • Foster environmental stewardship and personal connection to salmon recovery; • Educate people about threats to salmon and the role of habitat in salmon recovery; • Leverage additional resources to implement recovery actions; and • Expand the constituency to advocate for salmon recovery. The Green/Duwamish Watershed has a number of volunteer stewardship programs that play an instru- mental role in invasive vegetation removal and na- tive revegetation. Many of these programs provide long-term stewardship of large capital restoration sites. Traditional salmon recovery funding is not available to fund long-term (beyond two to three years) stewardship and maintenance of restoration sites. As a result, local funding or creative partner- ships are essential to ensure restoration projects achieve desired outcomes into the future. »Expand Community Science Monitoring Develop and implement community science pro- grams to address data gaps and foster watershed stewardship among residents. Community science programs can provide capacity to collect important long-term monitoring data while serving as an out- reach tool to educate residents about local natural resource issues. They can also create opportunities to introduce students to scientific research and provide important data for resource managers. Since 2005, citizen science programs include: • Beach Nearshore Ecology Team (BeachNet): The Vashon Nature Center coordinates a forage fish monitoring program that collects data on forage fish presence/absence, spawning timing, beach substrate preferences, and intertidal and upland habitat conditions within the marine reserve. Data are shared with WDFW and is used to inform protection of spawning beaches. BeachNet also contributes to shoreline restoration monitoring in partnership with University of Washington, King County, and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. • Miller-Walker Basin Community Salmon Investi- gation (CSI): The CSI program has conducted 10 years of salmonid spawning surveys to assess long-term trends in salmon abundance and the urban runoff mortality syndrome in coho salm- on. Data are shared with local jurisdictions and resource managers. A partnership with the UW Tacoma Center for Urban Waters has helped identify both the suite of toxic chemicals contrib- uting to coho mortality and priority areas within this watershed to focus future stormwater im- provements.

Promote alternative approaches to shoreline management that provide for the use and enjoyment of property in a manner that benefits fish and wildlife. Priority focus areas include: • Shoreline processes and salmon habitat; • Erosion control; • Noxious/invasive weed control; • Revegetation guidance; • Natural yard care; and • Stormwater management. Workshops should connect target audiences with local and regional resources (e.g., technical assis- tance) designed to overcome barriers to improving shoreline stewardship. Materials and messaging should be tailored to specific subwatersheds and groups of landowners to increase effectiveness. The Green Shores for Homes program developed in 2015 is an available tool to guide the design of improved shoreline conditions for Puget Sound properties. Policies »Education and Stewardship (ES)1: Support edu- cational programs that integrate watershed science and salmon into problem-based learning exercises for school children. These programs instill a sense of place, encourage appreciation of natural resourc- es, and promote environmental literacy among the next generation of future decision makers. »ES2: Support diverse outreach and education pro- grams that promote awareness of salmon recovery and positive behavior change. Programs should employ community-based social marketing to iden- tify and overcome barriers to targeted behaviors. Priority focus areas include shoreline stewardship, riparian revegetation, and stormwater manage- ment. Strategy: Integrate Agricultural Protection and Salmon Recovery Initiatives Location: Lower and Middle Green Salmon recovery and the preservation of viable agriculture are two regional priorities that intersect in the Middle and Lower Green floodplain and along Newaukum Creek. King County designated over 16,295 acres of land within the Green River watershed for agriculture within three Agricultural Production Districts (APD). Some additional, but relatively small amounts of agricultural activities occur within the cities of Kent and Auburn. Over 5,763 acres of land within the APD have been enrolled within the Farm- AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 67 land Preservation Program (FPP). Restrictive cove- nants on FPP properties are designed to permanently protect agricultural use and open space. The 2005 Plan acknowledged that salmon recovery and agricultural production operate within a shared landscape along the Green River valley. It prioritized sequencing of restoration projects over the first 10 years of plan implementation to focus first on existing public lands, then on lands within the rural and urban growth areas, and finally on lands within the APD, but not enrolled in the FPP. The plan acknowledged that projects that negatively impact tillable surface may need to be reconsidered at a later date. This Plan Update acknowledges that the implementa- tion of high-priority salmon projects critically needed to advance salmon recovery will result in localized loss of existing farmland. Research indicates that rearing habitat availability in the Lower and Middle Green River is the primary limiting factor for Chinook productivity within the watershed. Collaboration be- tween agricultural and salmon recovery interests will be necessary to identify and advance shared prior- ities and ensure salmon and agriculture can coexist productively within a shared landscape. Lessons learned from other watersheds should be reviewed for applicability within the Green River watershed. Programs »Farm Conservation Planning Farm conservation plans can help landowners protect natural resources while achieving their land use goals. They can also help access and leverage agricultural incentives to improve conservation practices on agricultural lands. Priorities include stream and wetland buffer revegetation and live- stock management. Agriculture is widespread throughout the Middle and Lower Green and farm- land preservation is a regional priority. Expanding riparian buffer revegetation on Green River valley farms has the potential to greatly benefit salmon recovery, especially where agricultural lands over- lap with high priority areas identified by the Muck- leshoot solar aspect shade maps (2014). Limiting livestock access to stream buffers can also greatly improve water quality and riparian conditions. Available incentive programs include: • King Conservation District rural services pro- grams (e.g., Land Owner Incentive Program, Farm Conservation Technical Assistance, and Agricul- tural Drainage Program) • King County Small Habitat Restoration Program • USDA Farm Service Agency Conservation Re- serve Enhancement Program • King County Livestock Program (i.e., BMP cost share) Landowner recruitment is essential to program success. Additional resources and strategies are needed to expand participation. Policies »AG1: Protect, enhance, and restore high quali- ty salmon habitat in the Agricultural Production Districts in a manner that strives to reduce loss of viable agricultural land and ensure the long-term viability of agriculture. Projects that displace tillable farmland should strive to provide benefits to adja- cent farm lands in attempt to offset impacts. Local governments, state and federal agencies, non-profits, and special purpose districts should work with agricultural landowners in the Agricultur- al Production Districts to: • Correct water quality problems resulting from agricultural practices; • Implement best management practices for live- stock and horticulture; • Prevent additional degradation or clearing of forested riparian buffers; • Encourage landowners to pursue voluntary sus- tainable actions for fish, farms, and soils; • Conduct compliance monitoring and regulatory enforcement where necessary to protect critical habitats; • Identify opportunities where salmon recovery projects can provide parallel benefits (e.g., flood risk reduction and drainage improvements) to adjacent agricultural lands; and • Limit the extent of actively farmed lands dis- placed by priority salmon restoration projects. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 68 »AG2: Evaluate the effectiveness of the regulatory flexibility given to agricultural landowners that obtain a farm plan from the KCD. If the flexibility leads to better habitat and water quality outcomes, other opportunities should be explored to provide additional flexibility. If the flexibility has not led to better outcomes, the County should evaluate if there are improvements to the regulatory structure (e.g. require some amount of the farm plan be im- plemented versus implementation being voluntary) that would improve the outcomes of the flexible approach. Strategy: Integrate Salmon Recovery into Land Use Planning Location: All Subwatersheds Historical population growth and development within the watershed displaced habitat, altered natural hydrology, and polluted local waters. Local land use plans should provide a blueprint for future growth and development that is consistent with salmon recovery. Land use decisions should reinforce the importance of preservation of intact, functional hab- itats and provide a pathway for restoration of priority habitats. While the Salmon Habitat Plan is not a reg- ulatory document, integration of identified recovery strategies and habitat priorities within local land use plans, policy and decision-making can accelerate implementation and ultimately dictate success of recovery efforts within the Green/Duwamish. Programs »Incentivize Voluntary Restoration Practices Local governments and state agencies should pro- mote landowner adoption of voluntary conserva- tion and restoration actions through implementing associated incentive programs. Regulatory com- plexity, fees, access to technical assistance, and project costs have all been identified as barriers to expanding adoptions of voluntary best manage- ment practices on private property. Priority areas to address include invasive removal and native reveg- etation along shorelines, soft shoreline stabilization, and green stormwater infrastructure. Jurisdictions should review existing barriers and evaluate incen- tive opportunities, including: • Streamlined permitting process; • Reduced fees for restoration projects; • Free technical assistance (e.g., engineering, plant- ing plans, etc.); • Cost share/financing programs; and • Regulatory flexibility. Voluntary adoption of best management practices by private landowners has been sporadic. Addi- tional targeted investments are needed to expand implementation beyond early adopters. Improving coordination and consistency across regulatory jurisdictions (i.e., local, state and federal govern- ments) is also needed to improve consistency and reliability of the permitting process and increase adoption of best management practices. A coordi- nated effort across the watershed to identify target- ed practices and assess best practices related to available incentives could reduce costs and im- prove efficiency. Using the Green Shores for Homes or similar programs as an incentive-based program to increase the number of properties that voluntari- ly improve shoreline conditions on their property should be explored. »Regulatory Compliance Monitoring and Associ- ated Enforcement Jurisdictions should assess regulatory compli- ance with shoreline master programs, critical area protections, floodplain regulations, and agricultural regulations (e.g., Livestock Management Ordi- nance) to assess and improve protection of salmon habitats. Regulatory compliance is fundamental to achieving no net loss of ecological function along marine and freshwater shorelines and to ensuring that ongoing impacts to salmon habitat do not undermine salmon recovery investments. Periodic compliance monitoring should be used to assess the status of jurisdictions and the status of local regulatory implementation and to inform a strategic approach to address shortcomings. If a regulatory framework is not achieving intended outcomes, local jurisdictions should assess changes to staffing levels, outreach and education, technical training for staff, interagency coordination, and enforcement to improve compliance rates. A WRIA 9 Marine Shoreline Monitoring and Com- pliance Project (2018) found that only 42 percent of shoreline modifications between 2013-2018 AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 69 obtained local permits. Even fewer shoreline modifications obtained a WDFW Hydraulic Project Approval. Furthermore, more new shoreline armor (mostly unpermitted) was constructed than re- moved through restoration projects. These results indicate that unpermitted shoreline modifications are undermining salmon recovery investments and overall efforts to achieve “no net loss of ecosystem function” as required through the Shoreline Man- agement Act. Jurisdictions should take a program- matic approach to identify and address barriers (e.g., permit fees, regulatory uncertainty/confusion) to improve shoreline compliance rates and achieve outcomes that protect salmon habitat. Coordination and sharing of lessons learned across jurisdictions and the larger Puget Sound are recommended to improve efficiency. Policies »Land Use (LU)1: Ensure salmon recovery priorities are integrated into long-range planning efforts, including Shoreline Master Programs, Compre- hensive Plans, and Open Space and Parks Plans. Planning documents should be consistent with the Salmon Habitat Plan and support implementation of habitat protection and restoration priorities. WRIA 9 should provide technical assistance to pro- mote compatibility. »LU2: Land use development, annexation, and cap- ital improvement programs within the watershed should be consistent with the salmon recovery plan and promote progress towards achieving the necessary future conditions (and associated imple- mentation targets) for a viable salmon population. Development proposals should be evaluated with respect to impacts on key habitat indicators and identified habitat projects for the respective subwa- tershed. »LU3: Local governments should use compre- hensive plans and associated land use policies to direct growth and development within existing Urban Growth Areas (UGAs) to protect ecologically important landscapes in rural areas. Specifically, avoid future expansions to existing UGAs that could result in additional land conversion and landscape degradation. »LU4: Strictly apply and improve compliance with critical area, shoreline, vegetation conservation, floodplain, and agricultural regulations designed to protect important ecological habitats. Avoid use of variances in priority areas identified for protection and restoration in the salmon habitat plan. »LU5: Local governments should support flexible development tools that encourage protection and/ or restoration of ecologically important salmon habitat. Possible tools include, but are not limited to, transferable development rights, mitigation banking/ reserve programs, incentive zoning, Green Shores for Homes, and Public Benefit Rating System tax programs. »LU6: WRIA 9 partners should incorporate sea level rise projections into long-range planning docu- ments, habitat project designs, and development standards to promote long-term ecosystem resil- iency. Nearshore habitats adjacent to armored shorelines could be lost as water levels rise (i.e., coastal squeeze) if shorelines remain fixed. Low- lying shoreline areas should be identified to support landward migration of nearshore habitat as sea levels rise where appropriate. »LU7: Encourage certified development standards (e.g., Built Green, Salmon-Safe Certification, and Green Shores for Homes) that minimize the impacts of urban development on the natural environment. Incentives could include reductions in flexible development standards, expedited permitting, and reduced or waived permit costs. »LU8: Incorporate Salmon-Safe Certification stan- dards into best management practices for park and grounds maintenance procedures. Certification is available for parks system, golf courses, and urban development. Salmon-Safe Certification is a peer-re- viewed certification and accreditation program that promotes practices that protect water quality, improve watershed health and restore habitat. »LU9: Local governments should evaluate shorelines and critical areas, open space (e.g., parks and golf courses), and public lands with respect to identified salmon habitat priorities and notify WRIA 9 staff prior to approving significant land use conversion, or pursuing sale/exchange of public lands. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 70 »LU10: Incorporate Green Shores for Homes Certifi- cation standards into best management practices for residential shoreline development. The WRIA should support municipal efforts to establish a Green Shores for Homes certification process during permit review to help expedite permitting. Green Shores for Homes is an EPA-funded certifica- tion and accreditation program that was developed by technical Shore Friendly design of shoreline properties. Plan Implementation and Funding Location: All Subwatersheds The WRIA 9 2016-2025 Interlocal Agreement provides a framework for managing and coordinating imple- mentation of the Salmon Habitat Plan. It recognizes that salmon recovery transcends political bound- aries and calls for strong collaboration between local, state, and federal partners. Success hinges on strong relationships, strategic coordination, and collective action. Working effectively across such a diverse landscape as the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound requires creative partnerships with non-traditional partners. Leveraging shared resources to implement multi-benefit projects will help overcome land availability constraints and high restoration costs. Programs »Basin Stewardship Support and expand existing basin stewardship programs across the Green/Duwamish subwater- sheds. Basin stewards are instrumental to imple- mentation of the salmon habitat plan. They advo- cate for salmon recovery, coordinate across diverse stakeholders, and build on-the-ground relationships that facilitate large capital restoration projects. Key tasks for basin stewardship include: • Coordinating and implementing restoration proj- ects; • Coordination and collaboration across jurisdic- tions; • Securing grant funding (including grant writing) for restoration and acquisition projects; • Promoting voluntary stewardship on private property; • Responding to citizen inquiries concerning water- shed issues; and • Expanding public education and outreach oppor- tunities Basin stewardship covers the Middle and Lower Green River sub-basins, Miller and Walker Creek basins, and Vashon Island. Priorities for expan- sion include mainland nearshore and Duwamish sub-basins. »Land Conservation Initiative (LCI) The LCI represents a coordinated effort to preserve river corridors, urban open space, trails, natural lands, farmland and forestlands. It is a regional collaboration between King County, cities, business people, farmers, environmental partners, and others to strategically preserve our last, most important places. The initiative sets forth the goal of conserv- ing and preserving 65,000 acres of high conser- vation value lands throughout King County within the next 30 years. The primary funding source is the Conservation Futures Tax (CFT) fund, which is a property tax on all parcels in the county. The LCI is an important funding source for pursuing open space acquisitions throughout the Green/ Duwamish watershed. WRIA 9 partners should leverage the LCI to execute high-priority land acquisitions within the Green River Corridor to improve hydrological integrity, support salmon recovery, and expand recreational opportunity. Much of WRIA 9 is mapped as an “opportunity area” where households lack access to open space. Implementation of the LCI has the potential to align salmon recovery investments with needed invest- ments to address equitable access to open space throughout the watershed. »U.S. Army Corps Green/Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Program (ERP) WRIA 9 partners should continue to engage U.S. Army Corps leadership to advocate for appropri- ation of funding to implement ERP projects. The original collaborative effort resulted in identification of 45 projects, 29 of which were carried forward in the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan. U.S. Congress autho- rized $113 million in 2000 to be cost shared be- tween the federal (65%) and local partners (35%). Since the 2005 Plan, 13 of the original projects have AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 Update PAGE 71 been completed, with seven completed under the ERP authorization (e.g., North Winds Weir, Codiga Farms, Riverview Side Channel) and six completed by local sponsors (e.g., Porter Levee Setback, Fen- ster levee Setback, and Gale Creek). The Congressionally authorized ERP represents an important federal resource to support critically needed and underfunded salmon restoration work in the watershed. As of 2016, the ERP has only been allocated 8.25 percent of the authorized amount. A 2018 Green/Duwamish ERP Comprehensive Cost Update removed 12 projects based on the ratio of perceived habitat value to cost and the presence of hazardous materials. However, the recommend- ed “de-scoped” plan still includes a number of high-priority projects including NE Auburn Creek and the Hamakami, Turley, and Lones levee setback projects. The cost update for the modified ERP scope is $260 million and the congressionally au- thorized cost adjusted for inflation is $269 million. Figure 24. The Riverview Park Project created approximately 800 ft of side channel to increasing juvenile Chinook rearing and refuge habitat in the Lower Green River. The project, sponsored by the City of Kent, was constructed in 2012 in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Green/Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Project. Photo: City of Kent. Policies »Implementation (I)1: The WRIA 9 2016-2025 Inter- local Agreement outlines the governance, funding, and decision-making structure for coordination and implementation of the Salmon Habitat Plan. »I2: Process-based habitat restoration – where feasible – is preferable to other approaches that rely on more intensive human intervention. However, the magnitude of alteration within portions of the watershed render true restoration of degraded pro- cesses infeasible in some locations. Rehabilitation and substitution projects require additional moni- toring and maintenance to ensure desired functions are achieved. WRIA 9 should support periodic investments in adaptive management of completed projects to ensure maximize long-term ecological benefits. »I3: Support use of mitigation funds to implement priority salmon habitat enhancement projects. Off- site mitigation programs (e.g., in-lieu fee and mitiga- tion banking) can help improve ecological function in critical locations (e.g., Chinook Wind in the Duwamish Transition Zone) as a means of offsetting unavoidable impacts in less sensitive areas of the watershed. Development of mitigation opportuni- ties should be coordinated with the WRIA to ensure proposals are consistent with and do not preclude identified salmon recovery priorities. The WRIA should explore the potential for innovative partner- ships that could combine mitigation and restoration funding to expand the overall ecosystem benefit of habitat projects. However, habitat improvements AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan 2021 UpdatePAGE 72 associated with mitigation funds must be tracked as separate and discrete from those achieved with restoration-based grant funding. »I4: Salmon recovery planning and habitat project development should integrate social justice and equity considerations. Public access and recre- ational improvements should be considered where demonstrated need exists and when compatible with salmon recovery goals. WRIA 9 should seek multiple benefit solutions that consider displace- ment and social justice issues. »I5: Coordinate Salmon Habitat Plan implementation with other watershed-wide and regional initiatives to identify synergies, leverage available funding, avoid conflicts, and improve salmon recovery out- comes. Existing watershed-wide and regional initia- tives include the King County Flood Hazard Man- agement Plan, King County Flood Control District Lower Green River Corridor Plan, Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund Cleanup, Puget Sound Action Agenda, Our Green Duwamish, WRIA 9 Watershed Restoration Enhancement Committee, and the Puget Sound South Central Action Area Local Inte- grating Organization. »I6: Support examining new funding sources and fi- nancing strategies for implementing priority habitat projects and programs throughout Puget Sound. The WRIA 9 Watershed Forum will seek representa- tion on regional committees tasked with the exam- ination of public and private funding strategies at the local and regional level. »I7: Salmon recovery funding should support adaptive management of previously constructed projects where monitoring data shows design changes are necessary to improve habitat function. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 73 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update Chapter 7: Capital Projects Salmon recovery capital projects preserve, enhance, create or restore the habitats and physical processes that support salmon. Projects include acquisition, restoration, and/or enhancement approaches. Although significant progress has been made im- plementing projects identified in the 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan, many projects remain unfunded and under-resourced. Since 2005, 165 projects have been completed or are in progress, totalling over $160 million of investments. While many of the remain- ing projects identified within the 2005 Plan are still viable, other opportunities have been lost to develop- ment and/or a change in ownership. This update provides a current, comprehensive list of potential capital projects that align with established goals for Chinook salmon recovery in WRIA 9. A couple of plan amendments added new projects to the 2005 Plan, including: a 2007 plan amendment; and the 2014 Duwamish Blueprint. As part of the 2020 update, all projects described in the plan (and its amendments) or the appendices of the plan were evaluated for inclusion in updated project list. WRIA 9 staff developed an updated list of capital projects in partnership with ILA member jurisdic- tions, non-profit partners, state agencies, and others engaged in salmon recovery. Partners were asked to submit projects and provide specific project infor- mation including a project sponsor, location, scope, goals, alignment with recovery strategies, and pro- jected habitat gains. In some cases, an identified project did not have a clear sponsor, but was includ- ed due to the perceived importance of the project. The request for projects primarily targeted Chinook salmon-focused projects, but several coho salmon projects were accepted. A few additional project guidelines were developed in refining the project list: •Policies and Programs – Project submittals were not required for actions that fell within the scope of larger programmatic actions (e.g., fish barrier removal). •Discrete footprint – Projects were required to articulate a specific project footprint to support evaluation of feasibility and magnitude of ecologi- cal benefit. •Implementable within 10–15 years – Project spon- sors were directed to submit projects that could be implemented within a 10–15-year timeframe, provid- ed adequate funding and landowner willingness. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 74 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update Project Prioritization A team of subject matter experts was recruited to review, evaluate and tier projects for inclusion in the Plan. This four-person prioritization team brought expertise in restoration ecology, fish biology, and habitat project management, and over 50 years of knowledge from working in the Green/Duwamish River and Central Puget Sound. A balance of inter- ests was represented to eliminate bias for specific projects. The review process evaluated all concep- tual projects based on their full potential to provide habitat lift. Future constraints identified during design and feasibility could impact overall project scope and associated benefits. Project prioritization was based on subject matter expert evaluation of: • Habitat Quality (lift): the relative importance and value of a specific proposed habitat; and • Habitat Quantity (size): the potential amount (acreage and shoreline length) of habitat created or enhanced based on the entire project footprint. The scoring process was weighted so that habitat quality comprised 75 percent of the score and habitat quantity comprised 25 percent of the score. The tier- ing process assumes habitat benefits are positively correlated with size. Larger projects not only provide more habitat, they allow increased habitat heteroge- neity. Smaller, more homogeneous habitats, are less resilient to perturbations, and site constraints can be problematic for optimizing habitat. A small modifier was added to allow consideration of high-value geo- graphic locations (e.g., proximity to existing restora- tion sites, feeder bluff, etc.). Potential lift reflects the projected immediate and long-term habitat benefits to addressing limiting factors for Chinook salmon re- covery. Processed-based restoration was considered to provide more certainty of long-term benefits. A total of 118 projects were submitted and ranked as part of the project solicitation process. Projects were ranked within a specific subwatershed – not across subwatersheds. Given the large number of projects, projects were tiered based on overall benefit and to provide an indication of priority for financial support from the WRIA. Tiers were defined as follows: • Tier 1 - high potential; substantially contribute to recovery goals in each subwatershed. • Tier 2 - moderate potential; clear alignment with Chinook salmon recovery goals. • Tier 3 - limited potential; associated with Chinook recovery (or not primary species impacted); com- pliments broader recovery efforts in the subwater- shed. A simplified scoring methodology based on habitat quantity and quality provides a foundation for long- term planning by setting high-level implementation priorities within each subwatershed. Tiers were as- signed to projects by identifying natural breakpoints in the full list of projects within a subwatershed. These established breakpoints serve as a scoring baseline for projects received through future biennial calls for projects. Future proposed projects will be scored under the same criteria and assigned a tier. The proposed project will be added to the tiered list for future funding, with near-term funding priority giv- en to those projects previously identified as in need of funding. The final list of projects was approved unanimously by the Implementation Technical Committee and Wa- tershed Ecosystem Forum in 2019 and will serve as the comprehensive list of recovery actions that help achieve recovery goals, and ultimately toward the delisting of Chinook salmon in Puget Sound. 19Duwamish(DUW) Middle Green (MG) Lower Green (LG) 1 Upper Green (UG) Number of WRIA 9 Projects by Subwatershed 39 Nearshore (NS) 14 45 Figure 25.

The WRIA also supports project sponsors in seeking funding from various other local, state and federal sources. Annual Funding Package WRIA 9 develops an annual funding package of pro- jects based on anticipated allocations. The proposed funding package is reviewed and approved by the WRIA 9 Implementation and Technical Committee (ITC) and Watershed Ecosystem Forum (WEF). This funding package serves as the WRIA 9 Lead Entity’s habitat project list, as defined in RCW 77.85.050. Several factors are considered when building the annual project list for funding. Primarily, the WRIA supports projects from the list that demonstrate readiness to proceed and have a high likelihood of success, and where WRIA funding is critical to mov- ing the project forward. Project tiering (Chapter VII) will assist the ITC and WEF in making tough fund- ing choices when there are more projects in need than funding available. Project planning efforts with partners have allowed the WRIA to project out-year project funding needs which provides time to antic- ipate funding shortfalls and seek outside support. This long-term planning effort also allows sponsors to align salmon projects with other jurisdictional priorities, like those within their jurisdiction’s Capital Improvement Plans and Transportation Improvement Plans, as well as realistically phase large projects that span multiple years. Yearly, project sponsors assess the status of their projects and funding needs and notify the WRIA 9 Habitat Project Coordinator of their intent to apply for WRIA funding, and for how much. Projects undergo a technical review by WRIA staff and the ITC. For those projects competing for SRFB funding, projects undergo an additional rigorous technical review by the SRFB review panel. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 164 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update Salmon Recovery Funding Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) funding is administered through the Recreation and Conser- vation Office (RCO). It is a fund source of combined state salmon funds and federal Pacific Coast Salm- on Recovery Funding (PCSRF). This annual fund is allocated by a SRFB approved interim allocation formula based in NOAA’s Chinook delisting criteria. For several years, the Green/Duwamish watershed has received $295,895 annually to support implemen- tation of the Plan. Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration Fund (PSAR) is co-managed by the Puget Sound Partner- ship and the RCO. This is a Puget Sound specific fund source appropriated through the State budget pro- cess, within RCO’s budget request. In 2007, Governor Christine Gregoire formed PSAR in direct response to the growing need to restore habitat for salmon and other wildlife within Puget Sound. The Green/Duwa- mish has received just over $1.1 million biennially to support implementation of the Plan. RCO serves as the fiduciary for both PSAR and SRFB funding, so all projects funded through SRFB and PSAR are re- viewed and approved through the SRFB process. King County Flood Control District Cooperative Watershed Management Funds (CWM) are provid- ed by the King County Flood Control district (KCFCD). The KCFCD is a special purpose government creat- ed to provide funding and policy oversight for flood protection projects and programs in King County. Funding for CWM is a small portion of the tax assess- ment to support salmon recovery projects within the four WRIAs in King County. In 2020, CWM funding was doubled, and WRIA 9 now receives $3.63 million annually to support high priority projects and pro- grams. The FCD approves project lists annually. Other Local, State and Federal Funding Sources – In addition to these funding programs, sponsors are encouraged to compete for other local, state and fed- eral funds. It typically takes multiple funding sources to implement projects due to project complexity and cost. Many projects are initiated with and sustained by local funding provided by the sponsoring juris- diction. Other state and regional grant programs that support salmon recovery include, but are not limited to, the Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program (ESRP), Floodplains by Design (FbD), Brian Abbott Fish Barrier Removal Board (FBRB), Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA), and Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP). Addition- ally, many of the projects within King County are supported through the County’s Conservation Futures Tax (CFT), a program passed by the Washington State Legislature in the 1970s to ensure citizens have are afforded the right to a healthy and pleasant environ- ment. This fund specifically protects urban parks and greenways, watersheds, working forests, and salmon habitat as well as critical links connecting regional trails and urban greenbelts. WRIA 9 CWM Funding Allocation High-Priority Capital Projects – CWM funding (> 65%) and all SRFB/PSAR capital funding. The WRIA invests the majority of annual funding on high priority capital projects that protect and restore critical hab- itats. These projects are identified through planning efforts like the Duwamish Blueprint, Middle Green Blueprint, and the Lower Green River Corridor plan- ning process. More recently, projects incorporated in this Plan Update were solicited from partner organi- zations. Regreen the Green small grant program - Up to $500,000 of CWM funding. This grant program orig- inated in 2016 after the completion of the “Re-Green the Green Revegetation Strategy” to support imple- mentation of the priority sites identified in the plan. It has served as a primary source of funding to those focusing on revegetation efforts along critical areas in the Green/Duwamish. Additionally, this program has supported successful coalition building, landowner outreach campaigns, and network development that helps achieve broader Plan engagement goals. Monitoring, Research and Adaptive Management – Up to 10% of CWM funding. This funding is essential to informing adaptive management and maximizing return on investment with respect to salmon recovery. This funding allocation also supports the Green River smolt trap managed by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Stewardship, Engagement and Learning – Up to 5% of CWM funding. This funding supports Stew- ardship, Engagement and Outreach efforts designed to increase awareness around salmon recovery and promote positive behavior change. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 165 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update Outyear Project Planning (6-year HCPIP) WRIA 9 maintains a Habitat Capital Project Imple- mentation Plan (HCPIP) that identifies all projects with expected funding needs for three biennium (6 years). While these numbers are estimates they pro- vide a sense of the magnitude of funding needed per year. This implementation plan supports staff in work- ing with partners to properly sequence and support projects throughout the project life cycle, and to seek out additional funding to compliment WRIA directed funds. In many cases, WRIA directed funding sources are inadequate to support the full scope of a project but enable project sponsors to leverage other local, state and federal funds. The HCPIP will be updated annually based on evolving project needs, and will be published beinnially along with a call for projects. To ensure projects acquire, restore, rehabilitate, or create the type and amount of habitat that they was described in the original project description for the 2020 Salmon Habitat Plan capital project solicitation (or subsequent calls for projects), project sponsors will be required present to the ITC or project work- group (below) for at least one of the significant mile- stones of the project design process. This team will support ranking and tiering of any new proposed large capital restoration projects and pro- vide input on design for WRIA funded projects. Performance Management Projects receiving funding through grants directed by WRIA 9 are often subject to various pressures from other local, state, and regional funders, stakeholders, and interested parties during project development. In order to make sure projects acquire, restore, rehabil- itate, or create the type and amount of habitat that they described in the projects original description for the Salmon Habitat Plan, project sponsors will be required to present to the ITC or project workgroup (below) for at least one of the significant milestones of the project design process. For very large projects that will likely seek PSAR Large Capital funding, or large-scale complex projects with multiple objectives, the WRIA may request sponsor design teams include a WRIA technical representative to support WRIA 9 salmon recovery project priorities. An ad hoc project workgroup will be established to support elements of project development, made up of three to five members of the ITC. This team will rank and tier newly proposed large capital restoration projects and provide input on design for WRIA-fund- ed projects. The goal of this workgroup would be to provide feedback that will maximize salmon benefits, incorporate lessons learned from previous projects, ensure projects meet the highest possible outcomes for salmon, and help reduce project costs by address- ing issues early in design. It is anticipated that project sponsors will work with the Habitat Project Coordinator to present to the project workgroup or the ITC as follows, or if major changes/updates were made to the design: 1. Alternatives analysis - Project Workgroup 2. 30% design - Full ITC 3. 90% design - Full ITC Project sponsors are expected to maintain fidelity to the original habitat deliverables. Naturally projects will evolve as more is learned about project design and feasibility. The project sponsor is responsible for alerting the WRIA if substantive modifications to the original scope are required. Modifications to the scope of the project may invoke a full project team review to affirm the project tier and may require subsequent approval from the ITC or WEF. Failure to notify the WRIA of these changes, or use of funding outside of the approved scope, could result in the withholding of future funding or constitute a breach of contract. AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 166 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 167 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update Chapter 9: Monitoring and Adaptive Management Adaptive Management Framework The 2005 Salmon Habitat Plan outlined a sci- ence-based blueprint for prioritizing Chinook salmon recovery efforts in the Green/Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed. This Plan Update reflects an ongoing commitment to adaptive management to ensure prioritization and sequencing of investments reflect best available science and maximize benefits to Chinook salmon, in terms of established viable salmon population criteria. WRIA 9 convenes a regu- lar Implementation and Technical Committee (ITC) to oversee monitoring and adaptive management of the Salmon Habitat Plan. The ITC informs monitoring pri- orities, evaluates plan implementation and recovery progress, and makes formal policy and funding rec- ommendations to the Watershed Ecosystem Forum. In 2020, WRIA 9 developed a Monitoring and Adap- tive Management Plan (Appendix F) that outlines a framework to: • Prioritize research and monitoring investments to address important data and knowledge gaps; • Support status and trends monitoring to assess es- tablished habitat-related recovery goals and viable salmon population metrics; • Promote collaboration among partners engaged in research and monitoring within the watershed; and • Guide adaptive management of the Salmon Habitat Plan. The WRIA 9 Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan (MAMP) outlines three categories of monitoring intended to help evaluate and inform strategic adaptation of recovery efforts (Figure 31). Each category of monitoring is intended to answer under- lying questions related to implementation progress, effectiveness of actions, and overall impact on Chinook recovery. • Implementation Monitoring: Is the plan being implemented as intended? Are we on track to meet established habitat targets? • Effectiveness Monitoring: Are habitat projects functioning as expected? Are habitat status and trends improving throughout the watershed? • Validation Monitoring: Are salmon recovery efforts benefiting the Green River Chinook salmon population (i.e., VSP criteria)? Are the underlying scientific assumptions of the plan accurate? AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) Figure 31. Types of monitoring used to evaluate management strategies and adapt them as necessary. Periodic assessment of these questions allows wa- tershed partners to reassess plan implementation, underlying recovery strategies, and/or reallocate resources to maximize outcomes. Implementation Monitoring The Plan Update outlines numeric targets for key habitats (Table 2, Chapter IV) linked to Chinook salmon productivity and recovery. The targets are intended to inform tracking and assessment of plan implementation (i.e., projects constructed, specific habitat gains, funding secured) in relation to estab- lished long-term goals. Regular evaluation of imple- mentation progress feeds into an adaptive manage- ment decision framework (Figure 32). This framework connects decision makers (i.e., Watershed Ecosystem Forum) with important monitoring and research find- ings, informing corrective actions to recovery strate- gies when necessary. Effectiveness Monitoring Effectiveness monitoring is designed to assess if hab- itat restoration projects are functioning as intended and achieving physical and biological performance standards. It includes both project-level and cumula- tive habitat conditions. Capital habitat project imple- mentation can take over a decade from conceptual design to construction and costs millions of dollars. Effectiveness monitoring is essential to ensure large capital investments maximize benefits to salmon and help identify potential design improvements and cost efficiencies that can be adapted into future projects.

Adaptive management decision framework. Routine Monitoring Routine project effectiveness monitoring evaluates whether restored habitat is functioning the way it was intended 3-10 years after the project is built. Project specific monitoring plans should be designed to assess project-specific goals and objectives. Project sponsors are encouraged to begin development of a monitoring plan at the project’s 30 percent design milestone to allow for pre-project monitoring that can be essential for verifying if future changes are due to the project’s actions or natural variability. The MAMP (Appendix F, Table 2) outlines routine physical and biological monitoring recommendations based on project type and subtype. The highlighted indicators and metrics are designed to be relatively affordable and consistent with regulatory permit monitoring requirements. Project sponsors are generally expect- ed to undertake routine monitoring for WRIA-funded projects and report monitoring results to the ITC. Enhanced Fish Monitoring Enhanced monitoring is focused on understanding how fish use a restoration project type. Unlike routine project monitoring, which asks whether a certain type of habitat was created and sustained, enhanced monitoring is meant to evaluate how fish utilize the habitat, and which restoration techniques convey the most benefit. Projects should be evaluated with a combination of Before-After Control-Impact or reference/control sites research designs. Enhanced fish monitoring is outside the scope of monitoring for many project sponsors, nor is it frequently required by regulatory agencies. Due to the costs associated with enhanced monitoring, WRIA 9 intends to contin- ue to financially support enhanced fish monitoring of select projects. The MAMP (Appendix F, Table 3) also outlines a prioritization framework (certainty of bene- fit, process-based vs. engineered design, project type frequency, and project cost) for WRIA-directed invest- Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 WRIA 9 Adaptive Management Decision Framework YES NO YES NO DON’TKNOW YES NO YES NO FACTORS LIMITING IMPLEMENTATION ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS · regulations· enforcement · incentives HABITAT LOSSES OFFSET GAINS · increase funding FUNDING INSUFFICIENT · education/outreach · incentives· acquisition LACK OF OPPORTUNITIES OR WILLINGNESS · permitting· stang · funding strategy INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES OR CAPACITY · new metric· funding for monitoring · Monitoring Plan adjustment INFORMATION GAPS 2010_10102L_w9_AM_ﬂowchart.ai Was the target achieved?

Monitoring results should be reported to the ITC and inform necessary maintenance and/or design modifications. Cumulative Habitat Conditions The Salmon Habitat Plan outlines a suite of projects, programs, and policies intended to improve cumula- tive habitat conditions across the watershed. Monitor- ing status and trends in cumulative habitat conditions allows us to assess the overall effectiveness of plan implementation. It provides data on the net change (improving, no change, degrading) in specific habitat conditions over time that supports evaluation of hab- itat restoration in relation to ongoing impacts to, and loss of, habitat. This information will help identity any gaps in the watershed’s approach to salmon recov- ery and help (re)direct partner resources to potential areas of concern. The MAMP (Appendix F, Table 4) outlines priority habitat metrics recommended for inclusion as part of a periodic cumulative habitat as- sessment that are consistent with the WRIA 9 Status and Trends Report 2005-2011 (ITC 2012). The WRIA 9 ITC should complete a cumulative habitat conditions every five years. Validation Monitoring Viable Salmon Population Criteria The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra- tion (NOAA) developed the viable salmon population (VSP) concept as a tool to assess the conservation status of a population. NOAA defines a viable sal- monid population as “an independent population of any Pacific salmonid (genus Oncorhynchus) that has a negligible risk of extinction due to threats from demographic variation, local environmental varia- tion, and genetic diversity changes over a 100- year time frame” (McElhany, et al. 2000). Four parameters are used to assess population status: abundance, productivity; spatial structure, and diversity. These measures of population status indicate whether the cumulative recovery actions in our watershed are improving the population’s overall viability and long- term resilience. The MAMP (Appendix F, Table 5) outlines recom- mended metrics to evaluate VSP criteria that should be monitored to assess the population status of the Green River Chinook salmon population. Additional NOAA-approved VSP targets are presented in Chap- ter IV, Table 1. Although VSP parameters are not a direct measurement of habitat conditions, habitat availability, distribution and quality are inherently reflected in VSP criteria. Tracking trends in the rec- ommended VSP parameters allows resource man- agers to evaluate how the population is responding overtime to the net impact of conservation actions and ongoing land use development activity in the watershed. Over a long enough timeframe, results can also inform recalibration of recovery strategies if the conservation status of the population does not improve or continues to decline. The VSP concept – and conservation status of Green River Chinook salmon – is influenced by a variety of factors outside the scope of this plan (i.e., habitat). The Puget Sound Salmon Recovery Plan emphasiz- es that the conservation status of the Puget Sound Chinook salmon Evolutionary Significant Unit is ultimately linked to the “Four H’s” – habitat, hydro- power, hatcheries and harvest. “Each of these factors independently affects the (Shared Strategy Develop- ment Committee 2007) status of salmon populations, but they also have cumulative and synergistic effects throughout the salmon life cycle. The achievement of viability at the population and ESU level depends on the concerted effort of all three factors working together, not canceling each other out, and adjusting over time as population conditions change” (Shared Strategy Development Committee 2007). Research and Data Gaps The Salmon Habitat Plan Update reflects an update to the scientific framework (i.e., Strategic Assessment) of the original 2005 Plan. New scientific data improved our understanding of the functional linkages between environmental stressors, habitat, and population productivity, abundance, diversity and spatial distri- bution. This information is reflected in updates to the WRIA 9 recovery strategies and embedded projects, policies, and programs. Best avilable science is used to recalibrate the magnitude and sequencing of our strategic investments, maximizing the effectiveness of our investments. Numerous data gaps and uncertainties remain. Ongoing investments in research and monitoring will be essential to informing adaptive management of recovery strategies and ensuring that plan imple- AGENDA ITEM # 7. a) PAGE 171 Green-Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat 2021 Update mentation and associated funding decisions remain science driven. Additional information on research priorities and data gaps can be found in the Habitat Use and Productivity, Temperature, Climate Change, and Contaminant white papers in Appendices A-D. These papers build on the existing 2004 WRIA 9 Chi- nook Salmon Research Framework which utilized a conceptual life-cycle model to organize and prioritize research efforts to inform recovery planning.
