  • Chapter 3. Ecosystem Profile
    CHAPTER 3. ECOSYSTEM PROFILE 3.1 Introduction This ecosystem profile has been prepared to provide a basis for understanding how watershed processes affect the form and function of Mason County’s shorelines. This chapter provides an overview of the watershed conditions across the landscape and describes how ecosystem-wide processes affect the function of the County’s shorelines as required under shoreline guidelines outlined in WAC 173-26- 210(3)(d). This watershed-scale overview provides context for the reach-scale discussion provided in Chapters 4 through 9. The landscape analysis approach to understanding and analyzing watershed processes developed by Stanley et al. (2005) has been referenced to complete this section of the report. Terms used in this section are defined in the document entitled Protecting Aquatic Ecosystems: A Guide for Puget Sound Planners to Understand Watershed Processes (Stanley et al., 2005). The maps referenced in this chapter are provided in Appendix A (Map Folio). Mason County is located generally in the southwestern corner of the Puget Sound Basin in western Washington. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Mason County has a total area of 1,051 square miles, of which 961 square miles is land and 90 square miles (8.6 percent) is water. Elevations in the County range from 6,400 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains, to sea level along the coastline of Puget Sound and Hood Canal. The County includes portions of five Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) as outlined below: • WRIA 14a: Kennedy Goldsborough; • WRIA 15: Kitsap; • WRIA 16/14b: Skokomish-Dosewallips and South Shore of Hood Canal; • WRIA 21: Queets-Quinault; and • WRIA 22: Lower Chehalis.

  • Draft Mountain Goat Management Plan / Environmental Impact
    Chapter 3: Affected Environment CHAPTER 3: AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT INTRODUCTION The “Affected Environment” describes existing conditions for those elements of the natural and cultural environments that could be affected by implementing the alternatives considered in this Mountain Goat Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement (plan/EIS). These include (1) areas of Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest on the Olympic Peninsula, from where mountain goats could be removed; and (2) areas in the North Cascades national forests, where mountain goats could be translocated. This Affected Environment chapter is therefore divided into two subsections addressing the affected environment of the Olympic Peninsula in Part One, followed by the North Cascades national forests in Part Two. On the Olympic Peninsula, mountain goat habitat comprises approximately 150,000 acres of high- elevation alpine and subalpine lands that are free of glacial ice and above 4,675 feet in elevation and within approximately 360 feet of steep rocky slopes (Jenkins et al. 2011a, 2016). Therefore, management activities associated with this plan/EIS would take place primarily above 4,000 feet, but some activity could take place in lower elevation areas during winter months. Management activities associated with alternatives B, C, and D would require multiple staging areas (as described in chapter 2) located strategically on both National Park Service (NPS) and National Forest System (NFS) lands. The discussion of the affected environment is limited to only those resources that may be affected by actions taken in identified mountain goat habitat and surrounding the staging areas (see figure 5 in chapter 2). The natural environment components addressed in this plan/EIS for the Olympic Peninsula include mountain goats, wilderness character, wildlife and wildlife habitat, vegetation, threatened or endangered species, acoustic environment, and soils.
