I CHAPTER 6. SPECIES INFORMATION IWDFW's Priority Habitat and Species (PHS) maps show no protected habitats and species on the subject property. Federally-listed species potentially found within the vicinity of the proposed project I include steelhead trout, Puget Sound DPS (Oncorhynchus mykiss); Chinook salmon, Puget Sound ESU (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha); and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), Puget Sound ESU; and Churn (Oncorhynchus keta), Puget Sound ESU, Orca Southern Resident DPS (Orcinus orca), and Sockeye I (Oncorhynchus nerka). In addition,the Snohomish River contains ESA-listed critical habitat for Chinook salmon, steelhead,and bull trout (NOAA Fisheries,2016) (US Fish and Wildlife Service,2016). Coho (Oncorhynchus kistuch)are also found in the vicinity of the project area,but they are only Federally-listed I in the Oregon and California area,however,they are a Species of Concern in Washington,but are not required to be addressed in this assessment and the proposed project would likely have No Effect on this species (NOAA Fisheries, 2016). 1 In consideration of the Washington State and ESA-listed species with possible presence in Snohomish County, there does exist a Peregrine Falcon and Bald Eagle breeding area and Osprey and Purple Martin occurrence within the vicinity of the project site. The breeding area of the IPeregrine Falcon is approximately 1,500 feet from the project area. The Bald Eagle breeding area is approximately 4,000 feet from the project area. The Osprey is located approximately 5,500 feet from I the project area and the Martin is approximately 3,025 feet from the project area. The terrestrial action area of the project is as defined by WSDOT has been determined to be a diameter of 81 linear feet and the aquatic action area has been determined to be 200 linear feet downstream I (WSDOT, 2015). Refer to Chapter 2. Therefore, these species are outside the action area of the project and the project is determined to have No Effect on these species. Based on data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine I Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and WDFW's PHS and SalmonScape data, a number of species listed under the ESA that may be found in the Snohomish River and/or Possession Sound and were considered when investigating listed species presence for I the proposed project. A list of these species is found in Table 4. Potential for impacts due to the proposed project and potential species presence in the project vicinity are discussed in Chapter 7. IThe following species may be located in the vicinity of the project and may have the potential for project impacts. Species for which there may be possible impacts are covered in Chapter 7.
