Introduction 11. Steelhead Fishability (Creel Census) 111. Sediment Analysis (Textural composition) Study IV. Gravel Quantity Study v. Ramping Rate Study VI . Fish Passage (Powerhouse Berm) Study VII. River Temperature Study VIII. Schedule IX. References Appendix A Agreement on Additional Sediment Sampling I. INTRODUCTION Thls document presents fish mi tigation study plans for agency and tribal review and comment so as to jointly develop studies of the effect of project operation on anadromous fishery resources of the Sultan River. When Snohomish County Public Utility District No. 1 (District) applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for Stage I1 of the Sultan River Project (FERC No. 2157). several state and federal agencies and the Tulalip Tribes intervened over mitigation and enhancement issues concerning Sultan River aquatic resources. Subsequently, several 1icense articles addressed those issues in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Order Amending License dated October 16, 1981. In accordance with Article 60 a document entitled "Uncontested Offer of Settlement - Joint Agencies" was executed in April, 1982. The Commission approved this settlement on February 9, 1983. It included the series of studies mentioned in the Settlement Agreement and are described more fully in the next sections. During subsequent implementing steps in the studies the Joint Agencies have requested participation. Specific activities anticipated include technical review of consultant/contractor study plans, periodic monitoring of work through a study committee, and appropriate participation in field studies as described later.

The project’s authorized capacity is 111.8 megawatts (MW). The project is located on the Sultan River, 20 miles east of the City of Everett, Washington, in Snohomish County. The project occupies 10.9 acres of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest administered by the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service). Downstream of the project’s Culmback dam at Spada Lake, the Sultan River flows through a deep forested gorge for nearly 14 miles. The project powerhouse is located near the downstream end of the gorge. The District (Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County) currently operates the project to satisfy the City of Everett’s municipal water supply needs, protect aquatic resources, maintain Spada lake levels for summer recreation, and generate electricity. The new license requires additional measures to protect and enhance water quality, fish, wildlife, recreation, and cultural resources. The twelve signatories to the Settlement Agreement are the District, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Forest Service; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), U.S. National Park Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (Washington DFW), Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), Tulalip Tribes of Washington (Tulalip Tribes), Snohomish County, Washington; City of Everett; City of Sultan; and American Whitewater.

  • Chapter 5 Natural Environment
    CHAPTER 5: NATURAL ENVIRONMENT 5.1 Introduction Sultan’s natural environment has shaped the city since its very inception with Sultan and Skykomish Rivers providing key transportation routes, accommodating the floating logs from the surrounding forest, to the bluff and plateau shaping the traditional Sultan core. The Natural Environment element combines several environmentally related topics, including critical areas (wetlands, critical aquifer recharge areas, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, and geologically hazardous areas), water and air quality, and shorelines. Sultan has many of these features throughout its 2,304 acre Urban Growth Area. The purpose of this chapter is to identify those natural features, especially those classified as critical areas. Perhaps one of Sultan’s most prominent features is its rivers and creeks. Three major rivers, a creek, and numerous minor streams drain the Sultan urban growth area. The Skykomish River flows west across the southern city draining into Puget Sound at Everett. The Sultan River flows south across the western city limits to its confluence with the Skykomish River. The Wallace River south and east of Sultan joins the Skykomish River in Sultan near Skywall Drive. Winters Creek originates north of Sultan and flows southwest before joining the Sultan River north of Osprey Park. Wagley Creek originates east of the City and flows west and southwest before joining the Skykomish River near Sultan Basin Road. Unnamed streams and water courses flow into the Sultan River and Wagley Creek. The river and tributaries drain the Sultan UGA within 3 principal basins: The Lower Sultan River Basin drains the Sultan River valley into Winters Creek and the Sultan River.

  • Recreation Needs Analysis (RSP 13)
    Recreation Needs Analysis (RSP 13) Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 2157 October 2008 Prepared for: Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County Everett, WA Prepared by: EDAW, Inc Seattle, WA Jackson Hydroelectric Project Executive Summary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines identify the requirement to prepare a Recreation Needs Analysis as part of a hydroelectric project license application. The Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project (Project)(FERC Project No. 2157) Recreation Needs Analysis (RSP 13) informs stakeholders, as well as the Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County (District) and City of Everett (City), by synthesizing recreation- and public use-related information collected during relicensing. The Recreation Needs Analysis also defines recreation needs that may be considered for implementation during a new license term; however, the results should not be interpreted as potential protection, mitigation, and enhancement (PM&E) measures. The Recreation Needs Analysis results will be considered along with the results of other relicensing studies to develop potential PM&E measures that take into account all resource needs, not only recreation and public access. The Recreation Needs Analysis consists of four primary components: Supply, Demand, Capacity, and Needs (including a non-motorized trail assessment). Pertinent summary results from each of these components include the following: Recreation Supply Analysis • District Recreation Opportunities – The existing supply of District-managed developed recreation sites in the Project area (definitions of the Project boundary, Project, and study area are provided in Section 2.1) offer multiple recreation opportunities, including flat-water boating (on Spada Lake), fishing, picnicking, sightseeing, resting and relaxing, walking and hiking (within recreation sites and along Project roads), mountain biking (along Project roads), whitewater boating (on the Sultan River), and photography and wildlife observation, among others.

Now part of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie Na- tional Forest, the Forest Service is proposing to decommission some spur roads such as the ones seen here at midslope. But the worst offender, a ridgetop road system climbing to nearly 5000 feet, will be kept open, supposedly to facilitate a mysterious “collaborative res- toration” project, about which no details have been released. This ridgetop road system provides a highway for ORVs to ride into the Wild Sky Wilderness, which is just on the far side of the ridge as seen here. There would be no need for restoration if these roads were closed back and barricaded. But the Forest Service instead says it can stop ORVs with a gate. If this works it could be the first instance ever of a gate actually succeeding at keeping ORVs out of a place. visit www.northcascades.org • americanalps.blogspot.com/ The Wild CasCades • Winter 2011 1 The North CasCades ConservaTion Council was The Wild CASCades Winter 2011 formed in 1957 “To protect and preserve the North Cascades’ scenic, in This issue scientific, recreational, educational, and wilderness values.” Continuing this mission, NCCC keeps government 3 President’s Report — Marc Bardsley officials, environmental organizations, 4 Updates: and the general public informed about Time runs out for alpine lakes Wilderness Bill issues affecting the Greater North Hydro projects proposal for Hancock and Calligan creeks Cascades Ecosystem.
