  • Shoreline Analysis Report Describes Existing Conditions and Characterizes Ecological Functions in the Shoreline Jurisdiction
    The Watershed Company May 2015 S HORELINE A NALYSIS R EPORT PACIFIC COUNTY 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background and Purpose Pacific County (County) obtained a grant from the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) in 2014 to complete a comprehensive update of its Shoreline Master Program (SMP). One of the first steps of the update process is to inventory and characterize the County’s shorelines as defined by the state’s Shoreline Management Act (SMA) of 1971 (RCW 90.58). This analysis was conducted in accordance with the SMP Guidelines (Guidelines, Chapter 173- 26 Washington Administrative Code (WAC)) and project Scope of Work promulgated by Ecology, and includes all unincorporated areas within the County. Under these Guidelines, the County must identify and assemble the most current, applicable, accurate and complete scientific and technical information available. This Shoreline Analysis Report describes existing conditions and characterizes ecological functions in the shoreline jurisdiction. This assessment of current conditions will serve as the baseline against which the impacts of future development actions in shoreline jurisdiction will be measured. The Guidelines require that the County demonstrates that its updated SMP yields “no net loss” in shoreline ecological functions relative to the baseline (current condition). The no net loss requirement is a new standard in the Guidelines that is intended to be used by local jurisdictions to test whether the updated SMP will in fact accomplish the SMA objective of protecting ecological functions. 1.2 Shoreline Jurisdiction As defined by the SMA, shorelines include certain waters of the state plus their associated “shorelands.” At a minimum, the waterbodies designated as shorelines of the state are streams whose mean annual flow is 20 cubic feet per second (cfs) or greater, lakes whose area is greater than 20 acres, and all marine waters extending three miles offshore.

  • Scope of Study
    SECTION 905(b) ANALYSIS GENERAL INVESTIGATION RECONNAISSANCE STUDY Chehalis River Basin, Washington EXPEDITED RECONNAISSANCE STUDY Section 905(b) (WRDA 86) Analysis Chehalis River Basin, WA 1. STUDY AUTHORITY: The study of the Chehalis River Basin was initiated as a Corps of Engineers – Civil, Title I general investigation study under Public Law 106-60, dated September 29, 1999. This authority states: “The following appropriations shall be expended under the direction of the Secretary of Army and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers for authorized civil functions of the Department of Army pertaining to rivers and harbors, flood control, beach erosion, and related purposes.” General Investigation funds are used for the collection and study of basic information pertaining to rivers and harbors, flood control, shore protection and related projects, restudy of authorized projects, miscellaneous investigations, and, when authorized by laws, surveys and detailed studies and plans and specifications of projects prior to construction. In fiscal year 2000, $100,000 was provided to complete a 905(b) Report and Project Study Plan. 2. STUDY PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a Federal (Corps) interest in identifying flood problem areas and ecosystem restoration opportunities in the Chehalis River Basin, develop conceptual measures to address the identified problems and opportunities, and work with local governments to determine which measures and/or projects warrant further study effort in the feasibility phase. For those potential projects, a Project Study Plan (PSP) will be developed to conduct further feasibility level studies, and a Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreement (FCSA) will be coordinated with the local sponsor, Grays Harbor County.

  • Flooding in the Chehalis River Basin: Synthesis
    Flooding in the Chehalis River Basin: Synthesis prepared for Nancy Boyd, WSDOT Deputy State Design Engineer Don Nelson, WSDOT Environmental and Engineering Programs Director Don Wagner, WSDOT Southwest Region Administrator prepared by Aaron Poor, TRAC Synthesis Editor with assistance from Kathy Lindquist, WSDOT Research Office Michel Wendt, WSDOT Library February 29, 2008 Transportation Synthesis Reports (TSRs) are brief summaries of currently available information on topics of interest to WSDOT staff. Online and print sources may include newspaper and periodical articles, NCHRP and other TRB programs, AASHTO, the research and practices of other state DOTs and related academic and industry research. Internet hyperlinks in the TSRs are active at the time of publication, but host server changes can make them obsolete. REQUEST FOR SYNTHESIS: Don Nelson, WSDOT Environmental and Engineering Programs Director, and Don Wagner, WSDOT Southwest Region Administrator, initially requested a synthesis of information on Chehalis River flooding and future strategies. Nancy Boyd, WSDOT Deputy State Design Engineer and point of contact on the developing Chehalis Flood committee, submitted a follow-up request for a summary of publications and timeline of events for flooding in the Chehalis River Basin. BACKGROUND AND TIMELINE: The Chehalis River Basin of western Washington is the second largest in the state, second only to the Columbia Basin. In the last two decades, four 100-year floods have occurred there: in January and November 1990, February 1996, and December 2007. Federal Involvement There is a long history of government flood projects, studies, and proposals in the basin, with particular focus on the flood-prone Centralia Reach of the upper river, near the Twin Cities of Lewis County, Centralia and Chehalis.
