Environmental Permitting. JACOBS will perform a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) for Section 404 waters of the U.S. (including wetlands) for the project and prepare and coordinate a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit (NWP) 31 Preconstruction Notification (PCN) document. This proposal is valid for a period of 30 days. 1. Identify potential Section 404 jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (WOUS), including wetlands that may be present within the project area. JACOBS shall provide a report to the Client with a map of the identified potential Section 404 jurisdictional WOUS and an evaluation of the WOUS. The report shall also address the extent of observed WOUS. The report shall provide sufficient detail for submittal to the USACE as a request for an official determination of the limits of the potential Section 404 jurisdictional WOUS. Only the USACE can determine final jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Coordination with the USACE in obtaining a final determination of Section 404 jurisdiction for the property would be performed in association with the PCN. 2. Delineation (Fieldwork) A delineation of the boundaries of potential WOUS (including wetlands) that are subject to Section 404 will be conducted for the project area. The following activities will be performed in conducting the WOUS delineation. • Perform a desktop review of pertinent documents prior to conducting fieldwork. This will include a review of recent aerial photographs, the county soil survey, national hydric soils list, USGS topographic maps, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory maps, Federal Emergency Management Agency floodplain maps of the property vicinity, and prior environmental studies/reports conducted for the project area (if available and to be provided by the Client). 020336001.P08 5 • Perform and document (field observations) a field investigation of the project area to determine the extent of observed potential WOUS (including wetlands) that are subject to Section 404 of the CWA. JACOBS will follow the USACE Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Great Plains Region (Version 2.0 – March 2010) in performing the PJD for potential wetland areas. Other pertinent regulations and definitions will be followed for delineation of non-wetland waters (i.e., ordinary high water ▇▇▇▇ [OHWM]). Up to six (6) wetland determination data forms will be prepared. • WOUS (including wetlands) will be surveyed using a ...

Environmental Permitting. Activities Pacific Habitat Services, Inc. (PHS) will perform the wetland consulting services for the project. PHS is currently under contract to perform wetland delineation and have the delineation report approved by the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL). PHS will also assist in applying for permits and approvals for anticipated impacts to wetlands or waterways and negotiating instream work outside the typical work window. Anticipated activities may include the following:  Site visit.  Wetland delineation and characterization. Deliverables The deliverables for this phase are summarized below:  Joint permit application for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and DSL. Assumptions The assumptions included in this phase are summarized below:  Impacts to wetlands or waterways are temporary; the project should therefore meet the criteria of the State Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES). A biological assessment is therefore not required.  The City will be responsible for all permit fees.  The following reports and permit applications will be prepared by PHS.  Joint Permit Application

Environmental Permitting. Activities The firm of Pacific Habitat Services, Inc., (PHS) will perform the permitting consulting services for the Project. PHS has already performed a wetland delineation report which has been submitted to the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) for approval. PHS will also assist in obtaining permits and approvals for anticipated impacts to wetlands or waterways, as required by the DSL and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Deliverable Joint Permit Application for proposed impacts to the tributary to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Creek Assumptions Task 2.2 assumptions are listed below: • Impacts to wetlands or waterways are temporary and will result in a net enhancement of existing conditions in the tributary; the project should therefore meet the criteria of the State Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES). A biological assessment is therefore not required. No net loss of resource area or function means that no additional wetland or waterway mitigation will be required (proposed actions will be self-mitigating). • The City will handle all permit fees. • Enhancement projects in stream, wetland, riparian, and/or upland areas are allowed within Oregon City’s Natural Resources Overlay District (NROD) and will not require the issuance of an NROD permit; the proposed action is exempted from the NROD regulations. No project elements requiring NROD permitting are part of proposed actions. • A Joint Permit Application (to be submitted for review to both the DSL and Corps) will be prepared by PHS. • Prior to application submittal, the project team will attend one, on-site pre-application meeting with State and Federal regulatory agencies. Attendees should include representatives from the DSL, Corps, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. • The Stream Function Assessment Method for Oregon will be completed and submitted as part of the Joint Permit Application. • JPA does not ensure permit

Environmental Permitting. Strategy Consultant shall prepare a natural resources permitting strategy document to identify natural resource permitting requirements for the Project. The natural resource permitting strategy shall incorporate available natural resource information to inform the permitting process, propose a schedule for permit application submittal and approval, and identify critical path elements and risks associated with permitting the proposed Project. The strategy will be based on the current project description, current permitting requirements and conversations with the relevant resource agencies to confirm permit requirements and approach. The natural resource permitting strategy shall include the following elements, as necessary: a. List of required permits. b. Design considerations and implications for each permit. c. Permitting schedule, including critical path permit tasks. d. General mitigation requirements and opportunities. As part of this task, the Consultant shall attend up to four hours of meetings and advise the City on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) general requirements for different funding agencies. Because each funding agency requires different documentation, a full NEPA scope is not possible at this time. If federal funding is acquired, a contract amendment will be required to develop the necessary documentation.
