Appendix A: Scoping Documents Notice of Scoping Letter Public Notices NOTICE OF SCOPING The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is requesting public input on the scope of environmental issues and alternatives to be addressed in the: Environmental Assessment Mobile Ocean Energy Test Berth Project Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center/OSU Newport, Oregon Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center at Oregon State University is pro- posing to use funding from DOE to construct and operate a wave energy test facility, known as the “Mobile Ocean Test Berth”. An Environmental Assessment (EA) will be prepared by DOE pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The notice of scoping, description of the proposed project is available for review at the DOE Electronic Public Reading Room at http://www.eere.energy.gov/golden/Reading_Room.aspx. A public scoping meeting will be held on May 5, 2010 at Hennings Auditorium at Hatfield Marine Science Center from 6:30pm - 8:30pm located at 2030 SE Marine Science Dr Newport, OR 97365.

Scoping Responses May 28, 2010 Department of Energy Golden Field Office C/o Laura Margason 1617 Cole Boulevard Golden, CO 80401 Re: Comments on Department of Energy’s Scoping of the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center/Oregon State University Proposed “Mobile Ocean Test Berth” Wave Energy Test Facility Dear Ms. Margason, Pursuant to 18 CFR 5.4(d)(2)(iv), the Oregon Chapters of the Surfrider Foundation (Surfrider) submit these comments on the proposed “Mobile Ocean Test Berth” Wave Energy Test Facility (Mobile Ocean Test Berth or MOTB). Surfrider appreciates the interest of the Department of Energy (DoE) and the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center/Oregon State University (NNMREC/OSU) in substantively addressing potential environmental, recreational, and other impacts of the proposed MOTB. Listed below are Surfrider’s comments regarding: 1) the proposed size and location of the MOTB, 2) the MOTB’s environmental impacts, such as electromagnetic field generation, marine mammal entanglement, and habitat disturbance, 3) DoE and NNMREC/OSU’s recognition of Oregon’s coastal recreational community and interests as stakeholders, and 4) its support of incorporating and employing adaptive management and robust in-situ monitoring throughout the process. Comment One: The Proposed Size and Location of the MOTB and its potential affect on wave dynamics: The proposed MOTB will be located in the State’s territorial waters, within the three nautical mile jurisdictional boundary, bordering the federal jurisdictional waters. The project elements sit directly in the Pacific Ocean, adjacent to an area with a number of high quality surf breaks that attract a large number of year-round recreational uses. The area’s characteristics are attributable to the unique coastal topography, prevailing wind direction, currents, and resulting sand accretions. Every effort should be made to anticipate and consider the effects of the MOTB on these characteristics and the environmental factors that create and perpetuate them.

    Evaluating Oregon's Beach Sites and Assessing Twenty-Six Coastal Beach Areas for Recreational Water Quality Standards

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Rae T. Benedict for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Health Management presented on June 10. 2003. Title: Evaluating Oregon's Beach Sites and Assessing Twenty-Six Coastal Beach Areas for Recreational Water quality Standards. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Catherine M. Neumann With congressional passage of the BEACH Act in October of 2000, Coastal and Great Lakes states were mandated to assess coastal recreation waters for the application of ambient water quality standards. This research encompasses two components involved in applying the BEACH Act statues to Oregon. The first component was to select beach sites in Oregon. The second component involves applying bacterial recreational water standards to select Oregon beaches. Using the guidelines provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this study develops a method to appraise Oregon marine recreational waters taking into account the following factors: use, available information, pollution threats, sanitary surveys, monitoring data, exposure considerations, economics, and development. In an effort to protect the public from swimming-associated illness attributable to microbial pollution, 24 beaches were identified in Oregon. Of these, 19 beaches were classified as tier 1, or high priority, and five sites were classifiedas medium priority, or tier 2. Future studies should be directed at ascertaining the beach lengths utilized by Oregon marine recreators since this is an important parameter in targeting bacterial monitoring. Ongoing monitoring of these 24 sites is warranted and new information could be used to update beach tier levels in Oregon. In the second phase of this study, bacterial monitoring data was used for comparison to recreational water quality standards.

Target animals inCluded flatfish (speCkled sanddab), Crustaceans (Dungeness Crab & Crangon shrimp), and mollusCs (Mytilus mussels & olive snails). An additional ColleCtion of subtidal roCk sCallops (Crassadoma gigantean) was made in fall 2013. Animals were ColleCted from stations near the Georgia PacifiC (G-P) outfall pipe adjacent to Nye Beach, OR (mixing zone stations) as well as stations north of Yaquina Head and south of Yaquina Bay. These offshore survey areas and adjacent beaches were stipulated in the RFP as the study sites and Correspond to those sites sampled by CH2M Hill in 2010. Physis Environmental Laboratories, InC. was Contracted to ConduCt the ChemiCal analyses. Organisms were proCessed for trace metals, PCBs & congeners, phenolics, and PBDEs. Of 137 possible Contaminants tested, 38 were deteCted in animals from one or more sites. There was little evidenCe for bioacCumulation of Contaminants of ConCern assoCiated with the G-P outfall pipe. SpeCifiCally, there were no elevated levels of PCBs, phenolic compounds, or PBDEs in any organisms tested. Some deteCted metals were found in ConCentration exceeding the dose found to have no observable effeCts on the organisms itself.

Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development Coastal Management Program This document, pursuant to 15 C.F.R. § 930.53, describes a geographic area in federal waters where certain federal license or permit activities, under 15 C.F.R. Part 930, Subpart D, and Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) authorizations, under 15 C.F.R. Part 930, Subpart E, will be subject to review by the Oregon Coastal Management Program (OCMP) under the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) Federal Consistency Provision. The OCMP is seeking federal consistency review over certain federal actions listed below, taking place in the federal waters within a part of the Oregon Ocean Stewardship Area (OSA), as described in Oregon’s Statewide Planning Goal 19 Ocean Resources. That area will be delineated as the Geographic Location Description and will hereafter be referred to as the GLD. The document consists of the following parts: (I) a description of the specific geographic location within federal waters to which it applies, including a brief description of the types of marine renewable energy uses that are anticipated; (II) a list of federal license or permit activities and OCS authorizations related to marine renewable energy development that will be subject to OCMP review when the federal action or activity that is being proposed is located within the geographic area; and (III) an analysis of the reasonably foreseeable effects the activity may have on specific marine resources and uses within Oregon’s coastal zone.

The landslides were found through the interpretation of aerial photographs. Each landslide was verified in the field and its class (ancient, historic, recent), type (slump, debris slide or flow, planar slide), and status (stable, potential, active) was deteniiined. Each slide was numbered and mapped at scales of 1:4800 and 1:62500. The study area was divided into seven homogeneous reaches based on lithologic and morphologic differences.
