Introduction This statement of finding discusses the effects of the proposed Hood River – White Salmon Interstate Bridge Replacement Project (Project) on the Hood River—White Salmon Interstate Bridge (Hood River Bridge) that spans the Columbia River between Hood River, Hood River County, Oregon, and White Salmon, Klickitat County, Washington. The Hood River Bridge was previously determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In 2004, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in conjunction with the Washington Department of Transportation (WsDOT), determined the Hood River Bridge as NRHP-eligible under Criteria A, B, and C (Chapman and O’Brien 2004). The Determination of Eligibility (DOE) received concurrence from the Washington and Oregon State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs). On April 23, 2019, the Oregon SHPO confirmed to FHWA and ODOT that the Hood River Bridge had previously been determined eligible for listing in the NRHP. In April 2020, the information relating to the description, history, and application of the NRHP criteria pertaining to the Hood River Bridge was updated (Opp-Beckman and Jones 2020). Using this updated information, an updated DOE was submitted by FHWA, in conjunction with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and WsDOT, to the Oregon and Washington SHPOs for review and concurrence. It is the finding of the FHWA, in concurrence with ODOT and WSDOT, that the Project will result in adverse effects to the characteristics that make the Hood River Bridge eligible for the NRHP and thus a finding of Historic Properties Adversely Affected pursuant to 36 CFR 800.5(d)(2) is appropriate and requires that the agency official consult further to resolve the adverse effect pursuant to § 800.6. This statement of finding is made pursuant to the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (36 CFR Part 800), Executive Order 11593, and the National Environmental Policy Act. Project Description The Port of Hood River (the Port) plans to replace the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge, which connects Hood River County, Oregon and Bingen/White Salmon, Klickitat County, Washington. The Project, funded in part by the FHWA, ODOT, WsDOT, and the Port is located between Hood River, Oregon, and Bingen/White Salmon, Washington. Logical termini for the Project are at the highway connections to the north at Washington State Route (SR) 14 and Exit 64 on Interstate 84 (I 84) to the south in Oregon. The Hood River Bridge approaches tie into the federal, state, and local transportation facilities within the city limits of White Salmon and within the urban growth boundary of the City of Hood River. The existing bridge is owned and maintained by the Port and provides a critical connection for residents and visitors to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (CRGNSA). The Project’s purpose is to rectify current and future transportation inadequacies and deficiencies associated with the existing bridge. Once the replacement bridge is constructed and open for use, the existing Hood River Bridge would be removed.

The 4,418-foot-long steel truss toll bridge was completed in 1924 and substantially modified in 1938. The bridge’s center span is a 262-foot riveted steel Pennsylvania-Petit through-truss vertical lift main span, which is a historic modification of the bridge’s original center fixed-span to address higher water elevations in the Bonneville Pool (Burrow et al. 2013:94). The center span is flanked by 18 206-foot steel Pratt deck truss spans, 10 south of the main span and eight north of the main span. The bridge is supported by 20 reinforced concrete “dumbbell” piers and the lift span is located near the center of the bridge between piers 8 and 9, over the river’s main shipping channel. The horizontal clearance at the lift span is 246 feet. The bridge has vertical clearances of 148 feet in the fully open position and 67 feet in the closed position relative to 73.0 feet Mean Sea Level, which is the typical elevation of the Bonneville Pool (Parsons Brinckerhoff 2001:9). The steel grate bridge deck provides two narrow travel lanes but no sidewalks or bikeways. The tollbooth, completed in 1965, is located at the bridge’s Oregon entrance. The tollbooth is a single-story, utilitarian building with a parapet roof and sheet metal siding that rests atop a poured concrete foundation. The tollbooth and adjacent roadway sections are sheltered by a front-gabled sheet metal canopy. The present building replaced the bridge’s original tollbooth. The Hood River bridge is eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A and C. Under Criterion A, the bridge has statewide significance in the area of Transportation as the second oldest Columbia River vehicle crossing between Oregon and Washington and for its association with private bridge development and operation during the early twentieth century. The bridge also has local significance under Criterion C in the area of Engineering for the design of its central span, which embodies the distinctive characteristics of the vertical-lift Pennsylvania-Petit steel through-truss. The period of significance for Criterion A begins in 1924, when the bridge opened, and ends in 1950, when the Oregon Washington Bridge Company, a private entity, transferred ownership and operations of the bridge to the Port, a public entity. This period of significance encompasses the bridge modification project associated with the historic construction of Bonneville Dam. Although the Hood River Bridge dates from 1924, the period of significance under Criterion C is 1938, when the bridge was substantially modified by incorporation of the distinctive vertical-lift span. The bridge retains all aspects of historic integrity: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Although the original bridge was substantially modified in 1938, the purpose of the design modifications was to accommodate higher river levels caused by the pool behind the new Bonneville Dam and the proliferation of larger vessels. The modifications do not diminish the integrity of design but contribute to its significance under Criterion A by conveying the evolution of the bridge in response to historic events. The standard for integrity of design tied to Criterion C significance relates back to that criterion’s period of significance, which is 1938. That year, the bridge’s main span was converted from a fixed span to its present design: a vertical-lift Pennsylvania-Petit steel through-truss. The distinctive vertical-lift

    3. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES, AND MITIGATION Chapter 3 looks at the beneficial and adverse impacts of the Project on transportation operations, environmental resources, and the community. Each section begins with a description of the existing conditions for a specific resource and then compares how the resource would be positively or negatively affected by the No Action Alternative, the Preferred Alternative EC-2, and Alternative EC-3. The study area for each resource is illustrated in the respective appendices. Mitigation measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse impacts that could result from the build alternatives are also identified for each resource. 3.1. TRAFFIC OPERATIONS The Hood River Bridge provides an essential interstate connection between Oregon and Washington. The existing bridge connects White Salmon, Washington, and Hood River, Oregon, and was used by over 4.5 million vehicles in a 1-year period spanning July 2017 to June 2018. A substantial majority of the total vehicles crossing the Hood River Bridge per year are passenger automobiles or light-duty pickups. These vehicles make up over 97 percent total vehicles on the bridge, while larger vehicles (trucks and other heavy vehicles) make up approximately 2 percent to 3 percent of total traffic. Traffic analysis for the Project included eight study intersections (Exhibit 3-1) and examined for two peak hours when traffic volumes were Large vehicles crossing the existing bridge are advised to highest during the morning (7:30 am to 8:30 am) and afternoon (4:00 pm turn in mirrors due to narrow lanes. to 5:00 pm).

    3.9. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE POPULATIONS EXISTING CONDITIONS The environmental justice populations in the API include low-income households, minorities, and Hispanic/Latino populations that reside within the API and the Native Americans who travel to and use the White Salmon TFAS and East White Salmon Fish Processing Facility. The proportion of low-income households, minorities, and Hispanic/Latino populations within the API are higher than county averages; and, these populations are more highly concentrated in the cities near the bridge: Bingen and White Salmon, Washington, and Hood River, Oregon. The 2010 U.S. Current tolls are collected at both a toll booth and Census data and American Community Survey estimates (2013-2017) electronically. Tolls are $2.00 cash or $1.00 electronically indicate a greater proportion of racial minorities living south and east of for passenger vehicles. the bridge in the City of Hood River (Exhibit 3-26). As shown in Exhibit 3-27, Hispanic/Latino populations reside on both sides of the Columbia River, with concentrations in the City of Bingen, downtown White Salmon, and areas west and east of the bridge connection in the City of Hood River. There are no permanent residences within 0.38 miles from the bridge touchdown in the City of Hood River or 0.25 miles of the bridge touchdown in Washington; however, seasonal and temporary camping by tribal members commonly occurs at the White Salmon TFAS. The average proportion of low-income households in Klickitat County is 13.4 percent, whereas the proportion of low-income households in Bingen is 18.8 percent.
