4 WO AMENDMENT EFFECTIVE DATE: 10/21/2008 DURATION: This amendment is effective until superseded or removed _60 Page 3 of 3 FSH RENEWABLE RESOURCES HANDBOOK CHAPTER 60 - STEWARDSHIP CONTRACTING Short Project Description: Marco Creek Passage Remediation, FSR 1600 (WRAP Project FC-2) This project would complete the second phase of restoring AOP passage and reducing the risk from road related storm damage to ESA listed fish habitat in the West Fork Hood River. This project is identified as a high priority in the Upper West Fork Hood River Watershed Restoration Action Plan (West Fork WRAP) and builds on work completed on FSR 1800 in Completion of this project is a critical element of meeting the restoration goals of the West Fork WRAP by the due date of Project Description: The road crossing at Marco Creek on FS Road 1600 is both a barrier to aquatic organism passage and is considered to have a high potential for failure during storm events as there are two undersized culverts that do not pass flood flows. The project objective is to install a road crossing structure that provides unimpeded aquatic organism passage and is large enough to pass a 100-year flood, including debris. Marco Creek is not an anadromous fish bearing stream but is a tributary to critical habitat in the West Fork Hood River and road fill from a failure at this site would likely be transported into the West Fork. The existing culvert will be removed and disposed of. The replacement will be a bottomless arch culvert. FSR 1600 is major forest thoroughfare so a temporary bypass travel lane would be built to allow vehicle traffic during construction. All project design criteria outlined in the NMFS Aquatic Restoration Biological Opinion would be adhered to. Engineering design and stream simulation is complete and the DAT team has completed it s review of the project. Culvert replacement cost is estimated at $400,000. The majority of the funding is expected to come from the Legacy Roads Program Fund (CMLG). Prepared by: Kathryn Arendt, Eastside Zone Fish Program Manager, Hood River Ranger District Date: 10/26/16

Retained Receipts Category (see attached list of appropriate and inappropriate use of retained receipt funds): 61.2-Exhibit 02 1(d) Road maintenance in area needed to reduce degradation of water quality.

6 Short Project Description (If the project is off-forest, please identify if the project will be completed using the Wyden Amendment and the benefit to the National Forest Resources. Please also identify whether the project must be funded in total to be viable or whether and how it may be scaled down.): The main objective of the project is to reshape the roadway template using an excavator to inslope or outslope roadway surface to hydrologically connect surface water to the ditch or allowing water to run off roadway. Drain Dips will be placed in areas to encourage water to flow off roadway or to the ditch lines. Culverts will be opened up and cleaned. Ditches will have brush and debris removed to allow free flow of storm water to the culverts or drainage areas. An existing disposal area will need to be re-developed to allow for placement of a large amount of ditch and culvert spoils.

9 Short Project Description (If the project is off-forest, please identify if the project will be completed using the Wyden Amendment and the benefit to the National Forest Resources. Please also identify whether the project must be funded in total to be viable or whether and how it may be scaled down.): The 2630 road is a failing chip seal paved road that encompasses the north and west sides of Clear Lake. The road surface is well past its design life and is showing signs of extreme fatigue cracking with several areas with pot holes and broken erratic surface conditions. The proposal would be to pulverize (grind) the existing pavement surface to a 6 depth and add open graded crushed aggregate in needed areas. The roadway pulverized surface material would be re-shaped and compacted to drain to the existing drainage structures. The existing pavement would be left in place for 100 feet each direction of the outlet channel located at the north end of the lake. Culverts and ditches will be cleaned and sediment control structures will be placed were needed. Excess material from project can be used to close user created roads. The cost of this project has been down scaled to approximately 20% of what it would cost to replace the existing pavement. All the existing pavement for the first 0.7 miles starting at Hwy. 26 will remain in place.
