1 Cedar River Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan Briefing for the WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Council November 21, 2013 Cyndy Holtz Seattle Public Utilities cyndy.holtz@seattle.gov
2 What is an HCP? Habitat Conservation Plan Section 10 of Endangered Species Act Allows for the landowner to conduct activities that would otherwise result in the unlawful take of a listed species in exchange for fulfilling commitments in plan 2
3 Why did Seattle develop its HCP? In anticipation of listing of Puget Sound Chinook under the Endangered Species Act
4 Comprehensive scope of HCP City decision to commit to no commercial timber harvest due to public review of Draft HCP 83 species covered in plan, with a focus on: All anadromous fish in Cedar River and resident fish in watershed Species dependent on old-growth forests in Cascades Comprehensive, ecosystem based
5 Ecosystem-based plan
6 What is Seattle s HCP? 50-year agreement with federal & state agencies (through 2050) $105 million commitment Over 80 projects/activities in 3 areas (incl. research & monitoring): Instream flow management Watershed management Mitigation for the Landsburg Dam (including downstream habitat protection and restoration)
7 Instream Flow Management
8 Geographic Context Flows governed by Instream Flow Agmt. and MIT Agmt. Multiple objectives for river and reservoir mgmt: Water supply Instream resources Flood protection Hydropower Reservoir receives run-off from the upper 43% of the basin 20% of avg. annual flow diverted for drinking water
9 Cedar River Instream Flow Management: Key Elements Guaranteed flow regime with base and supplemental flows Limits on annual water diversions Flexibility in management of unallocated water dedicated to river Continued research and monitoring to guide management practices Funding for facility improvements and downstream habitat Collaborative implementation with interagency Cedar River Instream Flow Commission
10 Aligning Certainty and Flexibility Cedar River Water Allocation Cedar River Watershed HCP/ Muckleshoot Tribe-Seattle Agreement Annual average flows in million gallons per day (mgd) 124 mgd 22% allocated to region s firm yield water supply 176 mgd This water varies by year and season and remains in river when present. Can be partially shaped by river and reservoir operations. Provides basis for flexibility to adapt and improve instream flow management practices. 549 mgd = Cedar average annual flow 249 mgd 44% allocated to guaranteed flow regime for instream resource protection
