References Reviewed for Development of 2014 Proposed HPA Rule Changes
References Reviewed for Development of 2014 Proposed HPA Rule Changes Table A presents the 1,865 references that are cited in the Compiled White Papers For Hydraulic Project 1 Approval Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and reviewed by WDFW staff during development of the WDFW -proposed changes to the Hydraulic Code Rules, Chapter 220-110 Washington Administrative Code. Table B presents forty-two ancillary references that were recently brought to our attention and considered in rulemaking but not yet incorporated into the Compiled White Paper literature review. Each reference is categorized for its level of peer review pursuant to section 34.05.271 RCW, which is the codificatio n of Substitute House Bill 2661 that passed the Washington Legislature in 2014. A key to the review categories under section 34.05.271 RCW is provided in Table C. References assembled by Carol Piening, 2008, and Randall Thurston, 2014; categorized by Dr. Timothy Quinn, 2014. Individual papers that comprise the Compiled White Papers for Hydraulic Project Approval Habitat Conservation Plan were originally created to support the development of a Habitat Conservation Plan for the HPA program. They were intended to: 1) Synthesize the best available scientific information related to the potential human impacts on species, their habitats, and associated ecological processes resulting from the construction, maintenance, repair, replacement, modification, and removal of HPA-permitted projects; 2) Estimate the circumstances, mechanisms, and risks to some species likely to result from the construction and repair of HPA-permitted projects; 3) Address the impacts of current (i.e., 2008) HPA rules for some fish species, their habitats, and ecological processes; and 4) Identify appropriate and practicable measures, including policy directives, conservation measures, and best management practices (BMPs), to avoid, minimize, or mitigate negative effects of construction activities that affect fish life.
