1 Purpose of checklist: SEPA ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST UPDATED 2014 Governental agencies use this checklist to help deterine whether the environental ipacts of your proposal are significant. This inforation is also helpful to deterine if available avoidance, iniization or copensatory itigation easures will address the probable significant ipacts or if an environental ipact stateent will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: This environental checklist asks you to describe soe basic inforation about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You ay need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for soe questions. You ay use not applicable or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You ay also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Coplete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decisionaking process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do the over a period of tie or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional inforation that will help describe your proposal or its environental effects. The agency to which you subit this checklist ay ask you to explain your answers or provide additional inforation reasonably related to deterining if there ay be significant adverse ipact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the forat of this teplate as needed. Additional inforation ay be necessary to evaluate the existing environent, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse ipacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of inforation needed to ake an adequate threshold deterination. Once a threshold deterination is ade, the lead agency is responsible for the copleteness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting docuents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and progras), coplete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please copletely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency ay exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environental Eleents that do not contribute eaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. background 1.

3 11. Give brief, coplete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies ay odify this for to include additional specific inforation on project description.) The proposed project will iprove the existing shoreline trail in the City of Bridgeport Marina Park. The Park is owned and operated by the City of Bridgeport and Douglas PUD. The park is located within the Wells Hydroelectric Project FERC boundary. The PUD is required to aintain the facility per the Wells Project FERC license. The proposed project will iprove the shoreline trail by replacing the existing trail with an ADA copliant trail. The proposed project will also result in a new section of trail that will iprove access throughout the park aking access easier to the boat launch parking area and restroos. The proposed project will entail the reoval of the existing trail, cut and fill to flatten out the trail grade, and installation of asphalt trail. The existing asphalt shoreline trail provides access throughout the ajority of the park. The trail is approxiately 5 ft wide and ranges in distance fro the OHWM fro approxiately 15 ft to over 100 ft. Overall, the existing trail is in good condition; however, there are several areas where the asphalt has deteriorated. Additionally, the existing slopes of the trail exceed ADA standards and do not provide access to the entire park and restroo (without leaving the park and utilizing the public roads without sidewalks). The existing trail is approxiately 1,070 lf and covers approxiately 5,643 sq ft, all of which is located within the 200 ft shoreline zone (510 lf and 2,743 sq ft within the 100 ft riparian buffer). The deolition of the existing asphalt trail will result in the coplete reoval of the asphalt along with any existing base. The deolition will result in the reoval of approxiately 41.5 cyds of aterial (asphalt and base) within the shoreline zone, of which 20 cyds will be reoved fro within the 100 ft riparian buffer. The aterial reoved will be loaded into a dup truck and disposed of at an appropriate off-site location, outside of the 200 ft shoreline zone. Prior to the deolition, a silt curtain will be installed around the project area to control stor water and runoff. Following the reoval of the existing trail, the proposed project will result in the cut and fill (placeent of select fill aterial) associated with the preparation of a trail base to ensure the trail eets the required slopes for a fully ADA copliant trail. In order to ensure an appropriate trail base for the ADA copliant trail a total of 307 cyds of aterial will need to be cut fro the site and a total of 591 cyds of fill will be required. This cut a fill will occur both within and outside of the shoreline zone and will occur over approxiately 34,046 sq ft. Of these totals, 294 cyds of cut and 591 cyds of fill will occur within the 200 ft shoreline zone, encopassing approxiately 33,318 sq ft (137 cyds of cut and 294 cyds of fill over 15,902 sq ft within the riparian buffer). The reainder of the cut (13 cyds) will occur over approxiately 782 sq ft landward of the 200 ft shoreline zone. The ajority of the cut aterial will be utilized on site for fill. If cut aterial is not suitable for reuse then it will be loaded into dup trucks and disposed of outside of the shoreline zone. These areas and quantities (listed above) are those required to establish a suitable trail base and do not include those required for the asphalt trail. The cut and fill will occur using an excavator and final grade will be accoplished using a bulldozer. Once the final grade is achieved the aterial will be copacted. The proposed cut and fill will priarily occur landward of the existing shoreline trail. The only exception to this is the new portion of the trail between the existing trail and the boat launch parking area. The cut and fill in this area will occur within the 100 ft riparian buffer. In order to achieve final grade on the upriver portion of the trail (adjacent to 10 th St), a sall block wall will be required on the landward side of the trail. This wall is required in order to keep the entirety of the work on the park property. The proposed block wall will be approxiately 118 lf and will occur entirely within the 100 ft riparian buffer. However, all of the wall will occur landward of the existing trail. The average height of the block wall will be approxiately 1.5 ft and is will consist of the placeent of Keystone type block.

4 Following the establishent of final trail grade, the proposed project will entail the placeent of base aterial (crushed surfacing top course) over the entire trail footprint. The proposed trail will be 1,736 lf encopassing 14,011 sq ft. The proposed trail will be 8 ft wide and will be installed both within and outside of the 200 ft shoreline zone. Approxiately 1,657 lf (13,377 sq ft) of the shoreline trail will be installed within the 200 ft shoreline zone (760 lf and 6,138 sq ft within the 100 ft riparian buffer). The reaining 79 lf will be installed outside of the 200 ft shoreline zone (634 sq ft). The placeent of base aterial will entail the installation of 6 of crushed surfacing top course (CSTC). Once placed, the CSTC will be graded flat and copacted. In total, the proposed project will result in the placeent of 260 cyds of CSTC (248 cyds within the 200 ft shoreline zone and 12 cyds landward of the 200 ft shoreline zone). Once the base aterial is copacted and graded flat, the proposed project will install asphalt for the trail surface. The proposed depth of asphalt will be 2 resulting in a total of 87 cyds of asphalt being installed (83 cyds within the 200 ft shoreline zone and 4 cyds outside of the 200 ft shoreline zone). The asphalt will be installed using standard ethods for asphalt. All access to the site will occur through the uplands and existing lawn grass area. Following the copletion of the installation of the asphalt trail the entire disturbed area will be revegetated with lawn grass. The proposed project would result in no adverse ipacts to the existing aquatic, riparian, or upland habitat. In total, the proposed project will result in the disturbance of approxiately 33,318 sq ft of the shoreline zone (728 sq ft outside of the shoreline zone) and the installation of an approxiately 1,657 lf of trail (13,377 sq ft) within the shoreline zone (79 lf and 634 sq ft outside of the shoreline zone). The proposed iproveents will occur within a portion of the shoreline that consists of owed and aintained lawn grass, which provide little if any habitat functions and values. The proposed project will not result in the reoval or disturbance in native vegetation or habitat. The proposed project will not result in any change in use of the area and will only result in an increase in public use of the park. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient inforation for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity ap, and topographic ap, if reasonably available. While you should subit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate aps or detailed plans subitted with any perit applications related to this checklist.

No Ute ladies -tresses were identified on site, and suitable habitat is not present. d. Proposed landscaping, use of native plants, or other easures to preserve or enhance vegetation on the site, if any: Following the installation of the shoreline trail all of the disturbed areas (cut and fill disturbance) will be revegetated with lawn grass. The proposed project will not result in the reoval of any native vegetation and will not result in any adverse ipacts to the existing aquatic, riparian, and upland habitat. Due to the low level of habitat functions and values provided by the existing conditions the proposed project will not result in a net loss of habitat functions and values. As a result, the proposed project will not result in ipacts that require copensatory itigation. No itigation is being proposed.

9 e. List all noxious weeds and invasive species known to be on or near the site. None known. 5. Anials a. List any birds and other anials which have been observed on or near the site or are known to be on or near the site.

Is the site part of a igration route? If so, explain. Yes. The area is also used as a igration route by waterfowl. d. Proposed easures to preserve or enhance wildlife, if any: The proposed project will have no negative ipact on water quality, water supply, recreation, or aesthetics of the Colubia River. The proposed project will replace the existing deteriorating public shoreline trail. Any potential ipacts to fish, aquatic habitat, riparian habitat, and upland habitat would be sufficiently iniized by the conforance with the proposed Best Manageent Practices (BMP s) and the design considerations. In addition to the design consideration, the project will also confor with the following avoidance and iniization easures: No existing native vegetation or large trees will be reoved or daaged. Extree care would be taken to prevent any petroleu products, cheicals, or other toxic or deleterious aterials fro entering the water. If a spill were to occur, work would be stopped iediately, steps would be taken to contain the aterial, and appropriate agency notifications would be ade. Prior to coenceent of excavation, fill, asphalt reoval a silt curtain will be installed waterward of the project area to iniize turbidity and to ensure that no debris leaves the work area. All equipent operating waterward of the OHWM would be inspected daily for fluid leaks. Leaking equipent would be repaired prior to resuing operation. The Contractor would develop and ipleent a site-specific spill prevention, containent, and control (SPCC) plan, and is responsible for containent and reoval of any toxicants released. All exposed or disturbed areas, including upland staging areas, would be stabilized to prevent erosion. All erosion control devices would be inspected during construction to ensure that they are

10 working adequately. Overall, the proposed project will result in no adverse ipacts the Colubia River. Overall, the proposed project will result in no net loss of ecological habitat functions and values. Copensatory itigation is required when a proposed project will result in a net reduction of habitat functions and values and will reduce habitat conditions for aquatic and upland species. The proposed project will result in work within the riparian buffer; however, the proposed project will not ipact the existing habitat functions and values due to the fact that the entire area where the project will occur consists of owed and aintained lawn grass. The proposed excavation, fill, reoval of existing trail, and installation of the new trail will not disturb any native vegetation (only lawn grass). The existing lawn grass provides little if any habitat functions and values, thus no copensatory itigation is required. The proposed project will iprove the public use of the existing park as it will repair the existing trail and ensure that the trail is ADA copliant. As stated above, the proposed trail iproveents have been designed to significantly avoid and iniize the ipacts to the existing riparian and aquatic environent. The construction ipacts will be eliinated through the incorporation of the proposed BMP s. The existing park is heavily utilized and the proposed trail iproveents will not result in a change in use of the park rather represents an iproveent of the conditions at the park. Based on the existing conditions, project design, and BMP s that will be incorporated, the proposed project will not result in any adverse effects copared to the existing conditions. Thus, no copensatory itigation will be required or proposed. e. List any invasive anial species known to be on or near the site. None. 6. Energy and natural resources a.
