3 Scope of Work Year One Shoreline Inventory, Analysis, and Characterization Report The Consultant will: A. Conduct Shoreline Inventory In conducting the Shoreline inventory, the consultant will compile all pertinent and reasonably available data, plans, previous studies, inventories, maps, and other applicable information. The consultant will be provided with existing information relevant to this task listed in the addendum. The inventory will include a use analysis with descriptions of recorded public access easements, their prescribed use, maintenance and terms unique to or dependent upon use of the shorelines. To the extent that additional information is relevant and reasonably obtainable, the Consultant will collect the following information: Maps of Shorelines of the QIN (all marine shorelines, streams >20 cfs mean annual flow, lakes >20 acres, and shorelands) Location of channel migration zones, floodplains and floodway. Maps of Critical areas, including wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, fish and wildlife conservation areas, geologically hazardous areas, and frequently flooded areas Maps of Shoreline and adjacent land use patterns/density and transportation and utility facilities, including the extent of existing structures, impervious surfaces, vegetation, shoreline modifications, and platted lots including undeveloped lots (except those not developable under local subdivision ordinance). Degraded areas and sites with potential for ecological restoration. Areas of special interest, such as priority habitats, rapidly developing waterfronts (particularly along the marine coastline and along the Raft and Quinault Rivers), previously identified toxic or hazardous material clean-up sites, and eroding shorelines. Maps and other information on existing and potential shoreline public access sites, including public rights-of-way and utility corridors. Historical aerial photographs documenting past conditions to assist in preparing an analysis of cumulative impacts of development. B. Conduct Shoreline Characterization and Analysis The shoreline characterization and analysis, in addition to the inventory, will consist of the shoreline characterization and analysis report (Hereafter referred to as the Report ). The Report will define the ecological functions of the shorelines of QIN, identify shoreline management challenges, and present recommendations for policies and regulations that would protect and restore shoreline functions in terms of each inventory item. This Report, along with accompanying maps, will provide a foundation for establishing environment designations, policies, and implementing regulations. The Report should identify data gaps, focusing on information that

4 would be useful to support shoreline program development and implementation. The information in the Report will provide the scientific basis for the completion of Year 2 deliverables. The following components shall be addressed in the Report: Characterization of ecosystem-wide processes Part of the shoreline analysis will be a characterization of ecosystem wide processes. This section will include a coarse-scale analysis of the broader area that influences the shoreline ecological processes. It will include a narrative with reference to maps that describes and illustrates the processes in the larger drainage area that are linked to the shoreline through hydrologic flows. These processes include the uptake, transport and deposition of sediment, nutrients, woody debris, and pollutants. Specifically, this characterization will: o Present the geographic context for shoreline ecological functions with geology, soils, topography, vegetation, and drainage patterns of the watersheds. Describe how these large scale upland areas relate to and affect the shoreline. Review existing regional watershed or natural resource related plans and maps for inclusion of relevant information. o Identify areas throughout the watersheds within and beyond shorelines, that are important to maintaining shoreline ecological functions (e.g. wetlands, forest cover, floodplains, higher permeability deposits, discharge, organic/clay soils, etc.). o Identify areas that are key impairments e.g. forest clearing, impervious cover, channelized streams, altered wetlands, roads and ditches, dams/diversions, groundwater withdrawals, and listed impairments such as water bodies on EPA s 303(d) list of impaired water bodies. o Identify opportunities for protection/restoration of upland and adjacent areas essential for maintaining shoreline processes and function. Characterize shoreline functions The characterization of shoreline ecological functions will be a more detailed analysis of the shoreline area that includes a narrative with reference to maps and GIS data. The characterization shall delineate shoreline reaches based on land use and ecological processes (such as man-made physical features, stream confluences, or littoral drift cell boundaries) in order to determine appropriate shoreline environmental designations and management recommendations. Functions that are associated with each shoreline reach will be described. Specifically, this characterization will: o Detail the physical, biological, and land-use components within the shorelines of the reservation. o Evaluate and assess shoreline ecological function using best available scientific understanding of the relationship between the conditions of ecosystem-wide processes and functions within the reservation. o Identify functions that are healthy(i.e. have not been significantly impacted by development), functions that are adversely impacted and functions that may have existed and are now missing.

5 o Identify current patterns of land uses in shoreline areas. o Identify likely shorelines uses and estimate future demand for shoreline use. o Identify opportunities for SMA preferred uses and potential use conflicts. o Identify current public access sites and opportunities for future access sites. o Identify the cumulative impacts of existing shoreline development as well as full shoreline development that would be allowed under the proposed SMP provisions C. Prepare Shoreline Inventory and Characterization maps The report shall also include maps of shoreline boundaries and synthesis maps at appropriate viewing scales that will inform the report and illustrate findings that correspond with the narrative. An area map with coarser resolution shall indicate the location within the state. Subsequent finer resolution maps shall delineate reservation and watershed boundaries. Maps at the shoreline reach scale will clearly differentiate the land and water contained within QIN Shoreline Management Code of 1993 jurisdiction from adjacent lands and contributing drainages. Maps at this scale will present the geologic, hydrologic, and ecologic features most essential to maintaining shoreline form and function and those land uses that may have altered upland processes influencing shoreline function. The reach scale maps also will indicate applicable inventory features such as known presence of listed species, riparian or aquatic vegetation, existing land uses, designated management areas, and shoreline modifications/development. Potential areas for shoreline uses, public access, restoration, and/or protection will be indicated. The map portfolio will include a comprehensive list of mapped features. Task Goal Statement: To identify the ecological functions of the shorelines on the reservation so that appropriate shoreline management challenges can be identified, and recommendations for protection and restoration of shoreline functions can be presented. Task Expected Outcomes: A comprehensive shoreline inventory and characterization report. Scope of Work Year 2 The Consultant will: Complete a Shoreline Master Program The completed SMP shall incorporate all the components in the Year 1 deliverables and shall be consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of Title 45. Where applicable, Titles 48, 52 and 61 of the QIN tribal code (as revised) shall be referenced. The consultant shall communicate with all other appropriate state, federal, and tribal departments which may have useful scientific, technical, or cultural information. The Consultant will identify the preliminary scope for the comprehensive SMP project consistent with Titles 45, 48, 52, and 61 (as revised), and

6 use available information to map required and optional Shorelines of QIN as defined by Title 45 in order to identify the initial area under QIN Shoreline Management Code of 1993 jurisdiction including: Rivers and streams with mean annual flow >20 cubic feet per second as measured based on basin size. Lakes and reservoirs exceeding 20 acres. Marine shorelines, including the eroding bluffs Lands extending landward 300 feet (minimum) from the ordinary high water mark of QIN shorelines Floodplains: All or part of the floodplain landward 300 feet (minimum) from the upland edge of the floodway Associated wetlands of these areas, including floodways and floodplains landward 300 feet from the ordinary high water mark. In addition, the SMP shall include: General shoreline goals and policies that are applicable throughout the area within the reservation. Shoreline Environmental designations that are appropriate to current waterfront conditions per the findings of the shoreline inventory and characterization, with description of the justification and rationale for the proposed designations. A narrative rationale describing reasons for maintaining or changing the designations shall be included. Maps illustrating the land and water area contained within shoreline environmental designation boundaries. Environment-specific shoreline use and modification regulations and policies, and standards appropriate for each shoreline environmental designation Shoreline use and modification activity regulations, goals, and policies including: o Shoreline use and modification activities that require a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit or Conditional Use Permit. o Shoreline uses and modifications that are prohibited and allowed under the Shoreline Substantial Development Permit or Conditional Use Permit. o Dimensional standards (buffers, setback, density, etc.). o Shoreline modification activity standards. o Any local policies or regulations adopted by reference, if relied upon to satisfy SMA or guidelines requirements. o Shoreline use and dimensional standards in relation to existing Sensative areas and Fish Sensitive Areas requirements in Title 48. Provisions for SMP administration and update, including necessary elements and timelines for permit administration, compliance, and enforcement based on existing tribal code (Titles 45, 48, 52, 61).

7 Task Goal Statement: To identify all Shorelines of the QIN within the jurisdiction so that supporting documents such as the inventory and characterization report are adequate to support final decisions regarding shoreline use AND to produce a draft SMP.
