Environmental, Engineering and Land Use Issues:

Runoff: Runoff from the disposal site shall not be allowed to enter the sensitive tidal flats north of Rice Island.

 

Bald Eagles: This site is within the home range of a nesting pair of bald eagles.  The project sponsor will be required to consult with USF&W and WA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife prior to undertaking disposal to determine methods of reducing potential impacts to bald eagles. Possible methods of reducing impacts may include, but are not limited to, timing the project to avoid the nesting season and leaving a buffer between the eagle use area and the disposal site.

 

Nesting Geese, Gulls, and Terns: Geese, gulls, and Caspian terns nest on Rice Island. The project sponsor will be required to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine timing and disposal methods to reduce impacts to the nesting birds.

 

 

Special Conditions on Use (include but not limited to):

1.      The northern boundary of the site shall be leveed to prevent dredged materials from entering the intertidal area north of the island.

2.      The site is within the known home range of a nesting pair of bald eagles and is used by nesting geese, gulls, and terns. Prior to undertaking disposal, the project sponsor shall consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine methods of reducing potential impacts to bald eagles and nesting geese, gulls and terns.

Environmental, Engineering and Land Use Issues:

 

Wetlands: The site may contain non-tidal wetlands that fall within Federal Section 404 or Washington State Removal-Fill permit jurisdictions. Prior to undertaking disposal, the Corps and WA Dept. of Ecology must be consulted to determine if the site contains wetlands within their respective regulatory jurisdictions.  If regulated wetlands are present at the site, the project sponsor will be required to either adjust the disposal site boundaries to avoid the wetlands and provide an adequate buffer or obtain Federal and State approval to fill the wetlands.  The federal and state agencies may require the project sponsor to mitigate for the lost wetland as part of the approval for the fill.

 

Runoff: Runoff from the disposal site will flow through potentially sensitive wetlands prior to entering the main body of the estuary.  For hydraulic dredging operations the disposal site must be prepared with settling ponds and drainage weir systems adequate to ensure that the disposal effluent will have minimal impacts on the wetland.

 

Bald Eagles: This site is within the home range of a nesting pair of bald eagles.  The project sponsor will be required to consult with USF&W and WA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife prior to undertaking disposal to determine methods of reducing potential impacts to bald eagles. Possible methods of reducing impacts may include, but are not limited to, timing the project to avoid the nesting season and leaving a buffer between the eagle use area and the disposal site.

 

Special Conditions on Use (include but not limited to):

1.       Prior to undertaking disposal, the project sponsor shall consult with the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if the disposal site contains wetlands that are regulated under Corps permit programs.  If the site contains regulated wetlands, the project sponsor shall either alter the disposal site boundaries to avoid the wetlands and leave an acceptable protective buffer, or obtain the necessary Corps permits to fill the wetlands.

2.       The site is within the known home range of a nesting pair of bald eagles. Prior to undertaking disposal, the project sponsor shall consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington Dept. of Fish & Wildlife to determine methods of reducing potential impacts to bald eagles.
