It provides a foundation for further planning to ensure that County leadership, agencies, and citizens are aware and prepared to meet the effects of disasters and emergencies. Incident management cannot be event driven. Through increased awareness and preventive measures, the ultimate goal is to help ensure a unified approach that will lesson vulnerability to hazards over time. The HIVA is not a detailed study, but a general overview of known hazards that can affect Jefferson County. Jefferson County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment 2011 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An integrated emergency management approach involves hazard identification, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. This document, the Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment (HIVA) describes the hazard identification and assessment of both natural hazards and technological, or human caused hazards, which exist for the people of Jefferson County.

LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN for the OLYMPIC NATIONAL FOREST PACIFIC NORTHWEST REGION PREFACE Preparation of a Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) for the Olympic National Forest is required by the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act (RPA) as amended by the National Forest Management Act (NFMA). Regulations developed under the RPA establish a process for developing, adopting, and revising land and resource Plans for the National Forest System (36 CFR 219). The Plan has also been developed in accordance with regulations (40 CFR 1500) for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Because this Plan is considered a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment, a detailed statement (environmental impact statement) has been prepared as required by NEPA. The Forest Plan represents the implementation of the Preferred Alternative as identified in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Forest Plan. If any particular provision of this Forest Plan, or application of the action to any person or circumstances is found to be invalid, the remainder of this Forest Plan and the application of that provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected. Information concerning this plan can be obtained

Skokomish Wilderness. Between moss- and fern-laden banks, the Dosewallips and Hamma Hamma Rivers run cold and clear north and south, respectively, of the borders of The Brothers Wilderness. At 6,866 feet, The Brothers is the highest peak in the area, with a distinct double summit that ranks among the most popular climbs in the Olympics. Through the center of the Wilderness the Duckabush River splashes down a wide and lovely glacier-carved valley shadowed by tall hemlock, fir, and cedar. From the Duckabush the terrain rises steeply into a mazelike network of forested ridges that peak on The Brothers to the south and 5,701-foot Mount Jupiter to the north. In the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, the area collects about 80 inches of precipitation each year, and temperatures stay temperate, rarely rising above 80 degrees Fahrenheit and seldom freezing along the river.

Project Goals and Objectives: To improve floodplain and channel migration processes on the Dosewallips River in the largely protected Powerlines Reach by developing a preliminary design for high value restoration actions. These actions will improve floodplain conditions by restoring habitat structure and complexity to modified portions of the reach to benefit spawning and incubating of Hood Canal Summer Chum salmon. The design will be selected in consultation with a technical group convened by the County to include representation from the Lazy C and Brinnon communities. This SRS Title II request is needed to match a portion of RCO Salmon Recovery Funding Board grant #18-1228. The project’s objectives are to: i. Provide for regular communication and open exchange of ideas among project consultants, partners, landowners, and other community members.

  • Mid-Hood Canal Juvenile Salmonid Evaluation Duckabush River 2019
    STATE OF WASHINGTON July 2020 Mid-Hood Canal Juvenile Salmonid Evaluation: Duckabush River 2019 Josh Weinheimer Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Program Science FPA 20-08 Mid-Hood Canal Juvenile Salmonid Evaluation: Duckabush River 2019 Josh Weinheimer Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Program, Science Division July 2020 Acknowledgements Measuring juvenile salmonid production from large systems like the Duckabush River involves a tremendous amount of work. In 2019, the Duckabush River juvenile trap was operated by dedicated scientific technician Eric Kummerow from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Much of the data reported here relied on the conscientious efforts of WDFW technician Phil Aurdal, who operated the trap in previous years. Logistical support was provided by Wild Salmon Production Evaluation Unit biologist Pete Topping. Mo Small (WDFW) conducted genetic analysis of juvenile chum samples. Kris Ryding (WDFW) consulted on the study design and estimator variance for the genetic sampling protocol. A number of other individuals and agencies contributed to these projects. Diane Henry, the adjacent landowner, provided access to the trap site. Mark Downen, WDFW Region 6, provided adult spawner estimates. Between 2011 and 2019, the Duckabush juvenile trap project was funded by Washington State General Funds, the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB) and Long Live the Kings. We thank the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office, in particular Keith Dublanica, for administering the SRFB grant and the SRFB Monitoring Panel for their feedback on Fish In / Fish Out monitoring.
