Abstracts The Skokomish River will contain flows only as large as 4,650 cubic feet per second downstream from U.S. Highway 101, and the flood plain in this reach is subject to inundation on an average of about 10 days each year. From the highway upstream to the junction of the North and South Forks Skokomish River the river will contain flows as large as 8,900 cubic feet per second; such flows occur nearly every year and have occurred at least six times during one flood season.

Puget Sound Energy’s Avian Protection Program promotes a consistent avian-safe system across our eight-county electric service area. While it is not possible to prevent all injurious contact between birds and electric equipment, PSE makes significant investments to reduce the number of incidents. For over 45 years Mel Walters has helped keep birds safe from man-made structures and electrical facilities. As an environmental biologist and consultant he provides expertise in wildlife and wetland The Kingfisher is printed on recycled mitigation, endangered species, paper by Blue Sky Printing and osprey habitat, erosion control mailed by Olympic Presort, both and avian protection. family-owned local businesses.

  • Independent Populations of Chinook Salmon in Puget Sound
    NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-NWFSC-78 Independent Populations of Chinook Salmon in Puget Sound July 2006 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS Series The Northwest Fisheries Science Center of the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, uses the NOAA Techni- cal Memorandum NMFS series to issue informal scientific and technical publications when complete formal review and editorial processing are not appropriate or feasible due to time constraints. Documents published in this series may be referenced in the scientific and technical literature. The NMFS-NWFSC Technical Memorandum series of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center continues the NMFS- F/NWC series established in 1970 by the Northwest & Alaska Fisheries Science Center, which has since been split into the Northwest Fisheries Science Center and the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The NMFS-AFSC Techni- cal Memorandum series is now being used by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center.

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.

  • Some Dam – Hydro News
    SSoommee DDaamm –– HHyyddrroo NNeewwss and Other Stuff i 8/03/2007 Quote of Note: “It is pleasant to have been to a place the way a river went.” - - Henry David Thoreau Other Stuff: (Here’s a novel approach to a subject (See blog below). This is a nuclear advocate justifying his view of our energy future. He conveniently forgets that nukes are NOT green. If anyone thinks dealing with nuclear waste and mining uranium is environmentally friendly or ever can be, they are smoking some really strong stuff. Even more dishonest is the Hydro Reform Coalition picking up this story and running with it with the blinders on. See their web site on the subject: http://www.hydroreform.org/news/2007/07/25/hydropower-most-damaging-power- source-per-square-meter (Hint: Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the link.) The following is a letter sent to the Hydro Reform Coalition: “As an organization, your anti-hydro and anti-dam rhetoric has reached a new low. The use of the Ausubel so-called study which is a blatant justification for nuclear power is a distortion of the facts taken out of context to justify your opposition to hydropower. Your mention of wind power is also misleading and dishonest. Wind power is notoriously undependable and could never be relied upon to offset hydropower which has the ability to respond to power demands because its storage reservoirs have potential energy ready to be called upon on demand. If we are so foolish as to not develop our hydropower potential, we would inevitably have more coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants, all of which have serious environmental and safety issues.

  • Queets Vegetation Management Environmental Assessment
    Queets Vegetation Management United States Environmental Assessment Department of Agriculture Olympic National Forest Forest Service Jefferson County, Washington Pacific Northwest Region June 2015 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual’s income is derived from any public assistance program. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410, or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. Abstract: This Environmental Assessment documents the proposed action, two alternatives to the proposed action, and the no action alternative considered for commercially thinning timber; conducting road construction, reconstruction, and maintenance; treating activity-generated slash (fuels); and implementing connected actions within the Late-Successional Reserve, Adaptive Management Area, and Riparian Reserve land allocations of the Queets River watershed on the Olympic National Forest, Pacific Ranger District. The Queets Vegetation Management project proposed treatment units are located within the Late-Successional Reserve and Adaptive Management Area land allocations, and also include Riparian Reserves which overlay these other land allocations.
