AQUATIC RESOURCES Sample Clauses

AQUATIC RESOURCES. ‌ Applicant has approximately 60,802 acres of Forests & Fish Buffers comprising RMZs, WMZs, and CMZs delineated or modeled on the Enrolled Lands. The locations of these Buffers are shown on Applicant’s Enrolled Lands maps where delineated and modeled (see the SHA). These stands are shown on the Enrolled Lands maps interspersed with unstable slope buffers, but the majority of the lands identified as Forests & Fish Buffers are RMZs, WMZs, and CMZs. Location of streams and rivers are also shown, which indicate the location of typed waters when viewed in conjunction with locations of Forests & Fish Buffers. Western Washington RMZs (WAC 222-30-021): Type S and F and F RMZ widths depend on two factors; Bank Full Width (BFW) and Site Class. Table 3-2 identifies buffer widths for the five Site Classes and the BFW. Table 3-2. Western Washington Riparian Management Zone buffer widths for Site Classes I through V and Bank Full Width (BFW).

AQUATIC RESOURCES. ‌ Under all alternatives, timber harvest and management activities are expected to occur throughout the Enrolled Lands, resulting in potential effects to aquatic resources. Timber harvest and management activities may vary between certain alternatives, but such variations are not expected to be highly significant. Under all alternatives, Applicant will continue to follow the Forest Practices Program and its elaborate prescriptions to protect riparian health, stream temperatures, and water quality for federally-listed fish species. Specifically, all activities would follow applicable rules and regulations (i.e., Forest Practices Rules and FPHCP) regarding RMZs, CMZs, and Unstable Slopes; therefore, impacts to aquatic resources would be the same under all alternatives, as analyzed in sections 4.5 and 4.7 of the FPHCP FEIS (USFWS and NMFS 2006). Following the criteria for implementation of buffers around RMZs, WMZs, Equipment Limitation Zones, CMZs, sensitive sites, and unstable slopes outlined in the Forest Practices Rules and FPHCP results in increased shade protection, reduced sediment delivery to streams, greater protection from pesticide contamination, reduced effects of timber-harvest induced peak flows, reduced likelihood of contaminated surface water reaching and contaminating groundwater, and lower likelihood for adverse hyporheic zone impacts. There may be marginal differences in impacts to aquatic resources under each of the three alternatives relating to the lands set aside for conservation purposes. For example, Alternative 3 would result in additional set-asides near wetland areas and the Proposed Alternative would set aside Presumed Habitat or Occupied Sites as no-harvest areas that are also near aquatic resources, which could positively impact riparian forest, stream temperatures, and/or water quality at a site- specific scale. However, none of these differences in impacts to aquatic resources are expected to be measurable given the fact that the same Forest Practices Program regarding aquatic resources will apply under all alternatives. Impacts to Federally-listed Fish Species and Designated Critical Habitat Under the No Action Alternative, Proposed Action Alternative and Alternative 3, continued operations are not expected to alter existing fish habitat conditions or otherwise result in effects to ESA-listed fish species other than as already described in the FPHCP (WDNR 2005), the FPHCP EIS (USFWS and NMFS 2006), and the Biological Opinions...

AQUATIC RESOURCES. PRESENCE IMPACTS2 STREAMS, RIVERS & WATERCOURSES1 Not Present Present Intermittent (streams only) Not Present Present No Yes Perennial Not Present Present No Yes Wild trout streams Not Present Present No Yes Stocked trout streams Not Present Present No Yes Identify all streams and their classifications per Chapter 93 of 25 PA Code (e.g. CWF, WWF, HQ, EV) Field investigations conducted September 24 and 26, 2019 identified nineteen jurisdictional watercourses within the project study area. These streams included Canoe Creek and eighteen unnamed tributaries to Canoe Creek. The Pennsylvania Code Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards, identifies the management designation for Canoe Creek is High Quality Cold Water Fishes (HQ-CWF). All unnamed tributaries to Canoe Creek will also carry the same management designation as Canoe Creek (HQ-CWF). Linear feet of Streams permanently impacted: 405 Describe Any Permanent Impacts Approximately 405 linear feet of permanent impacts to streams is anticipated including linear feet of bridge deck over Canoe Creek and UNT 5 (ephemeral stream). Of this total, approximately 60 linear feet of stream will require relocation due to cut/fill slopes and one small area for pier placement. Describe Any Temporary Impacts Approximately 2,840 linear feet of temporary impacts to streams is anticipated including work associated with the arch culvert carrying UNT 2 under I-80 and other drainage pipes carrying jurisdictional watercourses. Is mitigation incorporated? No Yes Project Specific Restoration/Enhancement: 60 linear feet Advanced Compensation/Banking: linear feet Other: Mitigation Remarks Stream mitigation and/or restoration plans will be included in the waterway permit application for the project. The details of mitigation will be determined through consultation with permitting agencies. Based on preliminary impact estimates, approximately 60 linear feet of stream relocation is anticipated. Canoe Creek is identified by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) as both a "Stocked Trout Water" and a "Wild Trout Water" (naturally reproducing) within the project area. As a result, no work will be permitted in the stream from March 1st to June 15th (for stocked trout) and October 1st to December 31st (for wild trout).

Linear feet of Streams permanently impacted: 1,537 Describe Any Permanent Impacts Approximately 1,537 lineal feet of permanent stream impacts are anticipated to nine (9) identified streams in the PSA. Approximately 911 lineal feet of perennial stream and 626 lineal feet of intermittent stream will be permanently impacted due to the project fill slopes and culvert extensions. Therefore, mitigation in the form of riparian plantings is proposed. Describe Any Temporary Impacts Minor temporary stream impacts to eight (8) of the identified streams in the PSA are expected to result from construction activities (approximately 385 linear feet). Approximately 248 lineal feet of perennial stream and 137 lineal feet of intermittent stream will be temporarily impacted by construction access and the removal of the existing structures as well as placement of the proposed structures. All impacts will be minimized to the extent possible by the implementation of an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan. Is mitigation incorporated? No Yes Project Specific Restoration/Enhancement: linear feet Advanced Compensation/Banking: linear feet Other: Mitigation Remarks Mitigation in the form of riparian plantings proposed. Remarks Seven (7) perennial streams: S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4, S-5, S-6, and S-7; and seven (7) intermittent streams UNT-1, UNT-2, UNT-3, UNT-4, UNT-5, UNT-6, and UNT-7; are located within the project study area (PSA). The streams within the PSA are Chapter 93 designated Warm Water Fishes (WWF), and are either tributaries to Breakneck Creek or Glade Run. None of the streams are Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Approved Trout Waters, Class A Wild Trout Streams, listed with Naturally Reproducing Trout, US Army Corps of Engineers Designated Navigable Waterways, PFBC Designated Water Trails, nor are they State or Federal Wild & Scenic Rivers.
