Conservation measures will be employed during dredging to avoid or minimize potential adverse impacts on the aquatic <br /> environment.The following conservation measures and best management practices will be implemented: <br /> • The sediment removal footprint is within the existing boat launch and therefore already disturbed. Sediment removal <br /> will not occur within the main Snohomish River channel <br /> • All in-water work will be limited to periods determined by state and federal agencies to avoid potential adverse effects <br /> on listed salmonids. <br /> • All equipment will be inspected daily to ensure that it is in proper working condition. <br /> • A silt curtain will be deployed at the end of the existing boat launch floats during all sediment removal periods to <br /> minimize turbidity within the main river channel. <br /> • The contractor will be responsible for the preparation and implementation of a Spill Prevention,Control,and <br /> Countermeasures(SPCC) Plan.The SPCC Plan will be submitted to the project engineer prior to the commencement of <br /> any construction activities.A copy of the plan with any updates will be maintained at the work site by the contractor. <br /> The contractor will also maintain at the job site the applicable equipment and materials designated in the SPCC Plan. <br /> • Excess or waste materials, petroleum products,chemicals,or other toxic or deleterious materials will not be allowed to <br /> enter waters of the state. <br /> 8b. Will your project impact a waterbody or the area around a waterbody? [helpl <br /> l Yes, minimal and temporary impacts to the Snohomish River El No <br /> 8c. Have you prepared a mitigation plan to compensate for the project's adverse impacts to non-wetland <br /> waterbodies? [helpi <br /> • If Yes,submit the plan with the JARPA package and answer 8d. <br /> • If No,or Not applicable,explain below why a mitigation plan should not be required. <br /> ❑ Yes Ii No ❑ Don't know <br /> Minimal amounts of shoaled sediments(875 CY)will be removed from an existing boat launch down to the existing <br /> mudline. No removal will occur outside of the existing boat launch within the main channel of the Snohomish River.The <br /> area is an active boat launch where propeller scour and other boating activities provides marginal intertidal habitat for <br /> fish. Upper intertidal habitat is composed of concrete launch ramp(Sheets 1 and 2). Upland areas are impervious,used <br /> for parking and vessel dry storage. Conservation measures and best management practices will be sufficient and <br /> protective of the river and aquatic resources present. <br /> No mitigation is needed. <br /> 8d. Summarize what the mitigation plan is meant to accomplish. Describe how a watershed approach was <br /> used to design the plan. <br /> • If you already completed 7g you do not need to restate your answer here. [help] <br /> ORIA-16-011 Page 8 of 15 <br />
