a) Receive a Presentation “Fishing Community Sustainability Planning for Eureka and Shelter Cove” from Humboldt State University
Summary: The goal of this project is to conduct the socioeconomic data collection, data analysis, and collaborative planning activities necessary to develop Fishing Community Sustainability Plans for the ports of Eureka and Shelter Cove located in Humboldt County on the California North Coast. Project team leaders have been working collaboratively with these fishing communities for several years and the proposed project is a direct response to a need expressed by local fishermen in previous research engagements. Both communities have experienced substantial declines in participation, revenue, and critical physical infrastructure related to their fisheries and both are looking for ways to plan for a better and more resilient future.
b) Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Contract Between the Harbor District and the Shelter Cove
Fishing Preservation Incorporated for Janitorial Services Associated with the Fish Cleaning Station, Sublease the Mario’s Marina Property, and the Transfer of Two Tractors. Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board: authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Contract between the Harbor District and the Shelter Cove Fishing Preservation Incorporated for janitorial services associated with the Fish Cleaning Station and the transfer of two tractors. Summary: Harbor District operations at Shelter Cove, include but are not limited to, maintaining the State tidelands, boat ramp, breakwater, fish cleaning station, boat storage, and boat launching. The Harbor District’s operations are in transition and we are in the process of planning major renovations associated with the fish cleaning operations and discontinuing direct boat launching services. The Harbor District has been working closely with the Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District (SCRID) and a group of local fishermen that are in the process of forming a non-profit organization called “Shelter Cove Fishing Preservation Incorporated” (SCFPI). The Harbor District and SCFPI have tentatively agreed to transfer the janitorial services associated with the fish cleaning station as well as a sublease of the Mario’s Marina property as outlined in the attached Term Sheet. The Harbor District has received grant funds from the State of California to discontinue discharging fish offal directly into the ocean. Current plans are to either pretreat the fish waste and discharge it into the wastewater treatment system operated by SCRID or to implement a fish waste composting operation. The preferred disposal option by both SCRID and Harbor District staff is to implement a pilot composting operation.
c) Award a Contract to the Lowest Responsive and Responsible Bidder for the Brownfield Debris Pile Removal Project at Redwood Marine Terminal II Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board: Award the Debris Pile Removal Contract for Redwood Marine Terminal II to the lowest responsive and responsible qualified bidder. Summary: The District released a Request for Proposals for Debris Pile Removal – Redwood Marine Terminal II (RMTII) on November 9, 2018, with a bid opening at 2:00pm December 7, 2018 in the Woodley Island Marina Conference Room. Work comprises segregation of three (3) debris piles generated from demolition of site structures at RMT II, with a total estimated volume of 2,400 cubic yards (cy). The piles contain building materials that include reinforced and unreinforced concrete rubble, brick, tile, roofing materials, equipment parts (such as, pressure regulators, valves, etc.), and scrap metal. Work includes segregation of the material, stockpiling, crushing for onsite placement, and transportation for offsite disposal and recycling of said materials deemed unsuitable for placement at the RMT II. This work is funded in part by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Brownfield Cleanup Grant.

d) Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the Harbor District and Principle Power Inc., Aker Solutions Inc., EDPR Offshore North America LLC, and Redwood Coast Energy Authority Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board:
1. Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the Harbor District and Principle Power Inc., Aker Solutions Inc., EDPR Offshore North America LLC, and Redwood Coast Energy Authority.
2. Appoint a subcommittee of the Board to work with Staff on developing a renewable energy hub in Humboldt Bay.
3. Authorize the Sub-committee and Executive Director to draft and submit comments to BOEM prior to the January 28th comment period deadline.
Summary: By creating access to economically-priced renewable energy, renewable resource diversification, and enhanced economic activity in coastal areas, floating offshore wind energy development represents tremendous opportunity for the State of California, Humboldt County, and the Port of Humboldt Bay. Wind resource offshore of Humboldt County are particularly strong and the Port of Humboldt Bay is the only deep-water port with substantial port facilities and upland infrastructure to support the assembly and deployment of these large offshore structures. The parties comprising the MOU have made a preliminary assessment of the existing facilities through multiple site visits and recognize that the Port has a high potential to become a hub for offshore wind energy on the West Coast.
e) Approve the 2019 Calendar Year Meeting Schedule for Regular Board Meetings and Consideration of Setting Special Meeting Dates in November and December Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board: Approve the Regular Board Meeting Schedule for calendar year 2019 and approve the recommended dates for Special Board Meetings in November and December to adjust for the holidays. Summary: Harbor District Ordinance 6 sets the date and time for Regular Board Meetings of the Board of Commissioners as the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. The Regular Meeting of November 2019 falls on Thanksgiving Day, and the December 2019 meeting falls the day after Christmas. Ordinance 6 allows the Board to schedule Special Meetings in the instance a Regular Meeting falls on a holiday.
f) Consideration of Acceptance of Permit Application 2018-01 for Filing Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board: accept Permit Application 2018-01 for filing and direct Staff to process the permit application.
Summary: Caltrans has submitted to the District an application for the demolition and replacement of the existing southbound Jacoby Creek Bridge, and replacement of eight (8) tide gates at five (5) locations along the Eureka-Arcata Highway 101 corridor. These two projects are part of the larger Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project to improve safety along the corridor, and are the only locations which require work below the Mean Higher High Water mark within the District’s jurisdiction.
g) Consideration of Employment Contract Renewal with Larry Oetker, Executive Director
13. Administrative and Emergency Permits
a) Administrative Permit A-2018-04 Repair/Replacement of Aids to Navigation in Humboldt Bay Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board: accept notification of the following Administrative Permit issued by the Executive Director. Summary: The U.S. Coast Guard proposes to replace four (4) single-pile aids to navigation (ATON) and replace one (1) buoy with a single-pile ATON in Humboldt Bay. Work will be staged from a barge to be spudded or anchored into place at all four corners of the barge at each work site, and supported by small craft as necessary. The single buoy would be removed by a crane mounted on the barge and a refurbished and/or new ATON will be mounted onto a new supporting unpainted steel pile. Each single steel pile will be removed with a vibrator extractor, and the 18-inch diameter replacement steel piles will be driven approximately 30 feet below the mudline

by a vibratory hammer mounted on the barge. Once in place, the ATON equipment on a 5-foot x 5-foot platform will be mounted on the supporting pile. Piling removal and placement will be conducted using standard Best Management Practices to reduce sediment disturbance and turbidity, and measures will be taken to allow wildlife time to clear the area of work. Peak underwater sound pressure levels will remain below 180 decibels re 1 micropascal squared-second. The work window is July 1 – October 15.
District staff determined that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to a Class 1 categorical exemption (Section 15301(d) for restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures) and a Class 2 categorical exemption (Section 15302 for replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities) which exempt projects where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. A Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The shellfish mariculture industry in Humboldt Bay has been growing in prominence in terms of seafood production in the region. Despite the industry’s importance, there is little reliable data available about its baseline socioeconomic conditions. To gain more accurate information about the economic dimensions of the Humboldt Bay mariculture industry, we conducted a business survey of all six businesses operating in the Bay. The 23-question survey covered topics including employment, tidelands, facilities and equipment, expenditures, production, revenue, marketing, collaboration, and the industry’s future. Surveys were administered in the summer of 2017 and questions focused on operations in the most recent year: 2016. Results indicate that the mariculture industry is an important contributor to the region’s economy. Key economic statistics for the industry in 2016 include:
Businesses 6
Acres Under Cultivation 386
Jobs 101
Payroll $3.01 million
Revenue $9.8 million
Economic Impact (multiplier effect) $19.3 million
Sixty-two percent of the industry revenue comes from the sale of whole Kumamoto oysters, 3% from the sale of whole Pacific oysters, and 34% from the sale of seed and larvae. When looking at the aggregate data, the industry appeared to be running at a slight loss in 2016. Total sales were $9.8 million and total expenditures $10.2 million. This may partly be the result of accounting practices of operations in Humboldt Bay that are part of larger companies that operate in multiple regions and by the fact that a few companies have recently made significant investments in seed and larvae production operations but those facilities were not yet running at capacity. In addition, expenditures can vary depending on where companies are in their permitting cycle. Seed was by far the largest expenditure accounting for 41% of the total. Businesses were also asked to project future change in their businesses five years out (2022). Their responses indicate that they expect acreage under production, number of jobs, expenditures, production, and revenue all to increase in the coming years. Much of this projected increase is linked to the approval of the Humboldt Bay Harbor District’s pre-permitting project, which could open up more grounds for mature shellfish production. These responses highlight the potential economic benefits of that project. Seed and larvae production was also anticipated to increase substantially. Local hatchery, seed-setting, and nursery activities are anticipated to ramp up in coming years. Businesses noted that there have been shortages of shellfish seed and larvae industry-wide. Increased seed and larvae production in Humboldt Bay could offer more security to the local industry, reduce operating expenditures, and be an important source of revenue for businesses going forward. The top ranked concerns for businesses moving forward included tideland availability, permitting costs, water quality, and regulatory changes.

1.0 INTRODUCTION Historically and in the present, the seafood industry has been a central component of Humboldt County’s social, economic, and cultural fabric (Pomeroy et al. 2010). Over the past few decades, the commercial fishing industry in Humboldt County has experienced significant declines related to various regulatory, economic, and demographic factors (Pomeroy et al. 2010). At the same time, the mariculture industry in Humboldt Bay has been growing in prominence in terms of seafood production in the region. In 2009, Humboldt Bay was named the Oyster Capital of California by the state legislature and it was estimated that over 70% of California’s oysters are produced in Humboldt Bay (HBHD 2011). According to data provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), total revenues for the shellfish mariculture industry in California in 2016 amounted $15.8 million. The two largest regions for mariculture production are Humboldt Bay and Tomales Bay, with Humboldt Bay accounting for roughly $10 million of total revenue. Despite the significance of this industry, there has been relatively little research investigating its socioeconomic dimensions and considering what factors or conditions may be essential for its long-term sustainability. In 2013, the Pacific Shellfish Institute released a report on the economic impact of the shellfish industry in California, Washington, and Oregon. The report estimated that in 2010, California accounted for $25.9 million or about 20% of the revenue on the West Coast. However, the report did not break down the findings to a regional or Bay level. Understanding the economic conditions of the mariculture industry in Humboldt Bay, specifically, can be important for long-range planning for the industry in the region. In the early 2010’s members of the mariculture industry and the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation, and Conservation District (Harbor District) worked together to develop their own estimates of the industry’s economics. The Harbor District reported that at the time the industry accounted for $6 million in sales and 56 jobs (Wilson, 2015). These statistics were loose estimates and the industry has undergone substantial changes in recent years; this highlights the importance of obtaining rigorous, accurate, and more current data about the local industry. CDFW has started collecting data on revenue from shellfish mariculture in the state. However, this data collection effort is relatively new and accurate data in this industry is notoriously difficult to acquire for a multitude of reasons. Additionally, the CDFW data does not maintain production and sales data for seed and larvae production in the region, which is a growing component of the industry in Humboldt Bay. To gain more accurate information about the economic dimensions of the Humboldt Bay mariculture industry, we conducted a business survey with all six businesses operating in the Bay. With this data we can better understand this important industry, highlight potential opportunities and also potential threats that the industry may face going forward. 2.0 STUDY SITE AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION Humboldt Bay is located in northern California. With an area of 24.1 square miles at mean high tide, it is the second largest coastal estuary in the state (California Department of Health
4
Services, 2007). Shellfish production has been a part of Humboldt Bay since time immemorial as the Wiyot people were known to harvest and consume shellfish in the bay (Walters, 2012). Commercial shellfish sales in the bay dates back to 1854 when L.K. Wood began selling clams gathered from the bay. The first documented attempt to grow oysters in the bay was in 1897 (Coy, 1975). Currently mariculture production in Humboldt Bay includes four species: Kumamoto oysters (Crassostrea sikamea), Pacific oysters (C. gigas) and to a lesser degree Manila clams (Tapes philippinarum) and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) (HBHD 2015). There are currently six different businesses operating in the Humboldt Bay shellfish mariculture sector. Maps of the locations of leased tidelands for these businesses can be found in Figures 1 and 2.
Figure 1. Map of Humboldt Bay Shellfish production areas as of 2012. The colored areas represent lease blocks and not all colored acres are under cultivation. Kuiper Mariculture Inc. was purchased by other businesses operating in the Bay (Source: Walters 2012).

Figure 2. Recently approved sub-tidal areas that are nursery sites for seed production. Currently Hog Island Oyster Company and Taylor Shellfish utilize these sites (Source: HBHD 2015) The six businesses that operate on Humboldt Bay represent a variety of business models, which are linked to different phases in shellfish production. Generally, the process of shellfish production as it is conducted in Humboldt Bay can be broken down into four broad phases.
(1) First shellfish larvae must be produced in hatcheries. Hatchery staff spawn broodstock to produce larval offspring. The larvae are cared for, with a diet of hatchery-produced phytoplankton, until they reach the “eyed” stage (Merritt and Wilson, N.D.).
(2) Next the free-floating larvae go through a process of setting. A cultch material, generally finely-ground oyster shell, is added to the tank and the larvae begin the process of setting on a piece of substrate. The setting process can happen in a hatchery or in a separate seed-setting facility where larvae are shipped in from other locations to be set. The set seed or spat is generally fed and cared for in the hatchery or seed-setting facility until it reaches about 2,000 microns (2mm) in size.
(3) The set seed (or spat) is then moved outdoors into bay water where it is grown in a nursery system to increase in size and become ready for final production. Typically, the oyster seed is placed in what are called floating upwelling systems (FLUPSYs). These floating bins contain beds of oyster seed and utilize an electric motor to continually draw water through the beds so oyster spat can grow while feeding on naturally occurring phytoplankton. After a period of time on the FLUPSYs, the seed may be moved to additional nursery facilities in the bay to facilitate further growth.
(4) The final stage of the production involves final grow-out or market shellfish production. Here the mature seed is placed in plastic mesh bags or baskets at a very low density and suspended in some manner, either by “rack and bag” or “basket on long line” methods –
6
the grow-out approach can vary by business. Over the course of 1-2 years the seed will grow to full size and the shellfish will be harvested for sale.
The product of each of these phases of production can be an important source of revenue for mariculture businesses (Table 1). Table 1. Broad Sources of Revenue in the Humboldt Bay Shellfish Mariculture Industry
Source: Species in HB: Description:
Larvae None: working on Kumamoto and Pacific oyster
Free-floating larvae produced in a true hatchery by spawning brood stock. Larvae can be sold to other companies or kept in the same facility for setting and grow-out.
Spat (seed that has been set)
Kumamoto oyster (with plans for Pacific oyster)
Spat is produced by setting free-floating larvae onto cultch material – generally finely ground up oyster shell. Recently set seed can be sold or moved to another phase of production when it has reached a size of about 2,000 microns (2mm). Spat is shipped to other oyster producers in California or on the West Coast. Seed shortages have been reported throughout the West Coast so this can be an important source of revenue. Spat can be sold to other companies or used by a business for their own production. Businesses without a hatchery can produce their own spat by obtaining larvae from other facilities and setting it in their own facility.

Seed that has been grown out to at least some degree in a nursey or FLUPSY system. In many cases, the FLUPSY seed is ready to be moved into the final grow-out stage of mariculture production. Businesses that have a hatchery and FLUPSY system can sell larvae, spat, or FLUPSY seed. Businesses without a hatchery or seed-setting facility can still buy spat, grow it out in a FLUPSY, and then sell FLUPSY seed to other businesses as a source of revenue. FLUPSY seed can be sold to other companies or used by the same business for their own production.
Market Shellfish
Kumamoto oyster, Pacific oyster, mussels
The final product typically associated with mariculture production – market shellfish. Currently there is a very small amount of mussel production and no production of market clams in Humboldt Bay. Market shellfish can be sold to local restaurants and markets or to dealers and shipped out of the area.

A broad overview of the industry in the bay based on publicly available information (and not
results from this survey) shows that not all of the businesses in Humboldt Bay participate in all
four phases of shellfish production. Table 2 shows the different parts of the industry that each
business on the bay is involved in. There is only one true hatchery on Humboldt Bay that is
capable of producing larvae, opened by the Hog Island Oyster Company in 2017. This is also the
first hatchery in Northern California. While Hog Island’s facility is currently setting seed, it has
not yet spawned broodstock to produce shellfish larvae. It will likely begin larvae production in
2019. Taylor Shellfish has a seed-setting facility where they produce hatchery seed but their
larvae are shipped in from hatcheries outside of the state so technically their facility is not
considered a hatchery. Five businesses on the bay operate FLUPSYs to produce FLUPSY seed.
Only four of the six businesses are involved in final grow-out or market production of oysters in
the bay. Three of the six operators in Humboldt Bay are connected to larger businesses that are
involved in mariculture production in other areas. The other three businesses are completely
local so all of their production and business operations are in Humboldt Bay. It is possible that
there could be a seventh mariculture entity active on the bay in the near future, as there is
currently one applicant, known as Yeung Oyster Company that is attempting to permit shellfish
culture in Humboldt Bay (HBHD 2017).

3.0 METHODS: The research team developed a 23-question survey instrument to administer to each of the mariculture businesses operating on Humboldt Bay (Appendix I). We used the survey instrument developed by Northern Economics, Inc. (2013) in their assessment of mariculture activities throughout the West coast as a starting point and added questions relevant to mariculture activities in the Humboldt Bay region. Questions covered topics including employment, tidelands, facilities and equipment, expenditures, production, revenue, marketing, collaboration, and the industry’s future. Questions focused on operations for the most recent year: 2016. An early version of the survey instrument was provided to representatives of the mariculture industry for review. We used feedback from the
8
representatives to revise the survey so that questions better reflected the realities of the mariculture industry. The surveys were given to representatives from each of the six businesses operating in the bay. Businesses were able to take their time to fill out the instrument and the research team was available to answer any questions that participants had. All of the six businesses participated in the study and returned completed survey; however not all participants answered every question. In some cases, the research team followed-up with participants where answers were unclear and to ensure the accuracy of the data. Economic data about the realities of a business is very sensitive and several steps were taken to ensure confidentiality in the data that we collected. The data collection and analysis process followed the HSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol 15-052. All results from the survey are presented in aggregate form and we followed the “rule of three” common in analyses with fisheries datasets. Under the rule, we will not present aggregate findings if they include data from fewer than three businesses. This way the results cannot be used to uncover production or sales data from one specific business. In the results section, we denote any questions that fewer than three businesses answered with a dash and do not include an aggregate number. The goal of the study is not to describe individual mariculture businesses but to describe the conditions of the industry as a whole. 4.0 RESULTS: 4.1 Employment According to survey results, in 2016 there were 98 full-time employees and 3 part-time employees working in the mariculture industry in Humboldt Bay area (Table 3). Total expenditure for payroll in 2016 was $3,014,366 (see: Table 8). Table 3. Employment data for the Humboldt Bay mariculture industry in 2016. Based on responses from all six businesses.

The mariculture operations include a variety of employee types (Table 4). In the survey businesses were asked to place each employee into the one role that best describes their position– even if they perform multiple duties. The most common type of employee in the industry is laborers or farm hands, followed by managers and supervisors. The businesses did not indicate any employees who specifically worked in sales or in delivery. This could mean that those functions of the business are conducted by employees who generally do other types of
9
work – or that, in the case of larger businesses, those functions are performed by employees based outside of Humboldt County.

4.2 Tidelands In 2016 participants of the Humboldt Bay shellfish mariculture industry reported that they were collectively in control of 4,045 acres of Humboldt Bay, however only 386 acres of this area is under cultivation (Table 5). When asked to explain the difference between the acres under control and the acres under production, respondents said that many of their acres are not suitable for shellfish production. Additionally, permitting requirements and the presence of eelgrass have limited the number of acres under production in the bay. Keep in mind that Humboldt Bay is about 16,000 acres in size. Table 5. Area of tidelands under control and under cultivation in 2016. Based on responses from all six businesses.

4.3 Facilities and Equipment In 2016 participants of the Humboldt Bay shellfish mariculture industry reported that in relation to their Humboldt Bay operations they owned or leased 15 land-based structures, totaling 77,300 square feet. Businesses indicated substantial investment in equipment related to mariculture operations. Table 6 shows the number of different types of equipment owned across all businesses. The six mariculture entities reported that they collectively have 5,054 square feet of cold storage space. When asked if their operation had sufficient cold storage space, 3 of the 6 companies said no and these three operators cumulatively would prefer an additional 2,200 square feet of cold storage (Table 7).

The businesses were asked about the extent to which they lend and borrow equipment with other mariculture businesses on the bay. Results indicate that lending of equipment does occur to some degree within the industry. Five businesses reported that they lend equipment to other mariculture operators at least once a year. 4.4 Expenditures and Seed Table 8 contains a tally of the expenditures occurred by mariculture businesses in Humboldt Bay in 2016. Overall businesses reported $10.2 million in expenditures in 2016. The largest single source of expenditure for the industry is seed, amounting to 41.9 percent of total expenditure. This was followed by labor expenditures at 29.3 percent. Capital expenditures, which is not necessarily an operating expenditure, appeared to be the second or third highest expense although only five businesses provided a response. Other expenditures included federal and state taxes, licensing fees, leasing facilities and mortgages, and other operating expenses such as ice, gas, utilities, freight, and maintenance. In table 8, capital expenditure is excluded from calculating the percentages of total expenditures because percentages are calculated only according to operating expenses. When asked, five of the six businesses responded that access to seed was a primary challenge
for their business. All respondents indicated that there was limited availability of seed. In 2016,
survey respondents stated that seed and larvae was purchased from Washington, Oregon,
California, Hawaii, and Alaska.

4.5 Production, Revenue, and Markets The Humboldt Bay mariculture industry generates the majority of its revenue through the sales of whole oysters (65%). The largest source of revenue for the industry is whole Kumamoto oysters accounting for 62% of total revenues. Whole Pacific oyster revenue amounted to 3%
13
percent of total revenue for the industry. Sales of seed and larvae are also large revenue sources accounting for 34% of total revenue (Table 9). Table 9. Shellfish production and sales data for the Humboldt Bay mariculture industry in 2016 data based on responses from all six businesses. Cells where fewer than three businesses reported sales or production are marked with a dash.

Based on data reported from all six businesses, in 2016, Humboldt Bay produced nearly 10 million market-sized oysters. Not all businesses responded to questions related to seed production, but statistics from the three or greater businesses who did respond indicate that in 2016 Humboldt Bay produced at least -- and likely much more than -- 180 million units of oyster and clam seed and larvae. When asked what percentage of their business revenue comes from shellfish and seed sales all six companies reported that 95% or more of their revenue is related to shellfish sales. Other sources of revenue included subleasing grounds and offering tours. Three of the companies operating on the bay reported that their business was connected to or operated a restaurant that sold shellfish they produce. Additionally three businesses reported that they sell merchandise related to their business. Operators were asked what percentage of their overall company’s revenue comes from the Humboldt Bay region. Three companies are entirely local and responded that 100% of their revenue comes from the region. The three other businesses all reported that the Humboldt Bay region accounts for a relatively small percentage of their total company income (less than 12% for each business). Businesses were asked how they used or sold the seed and larvae that they produce on Humboldt Bay (Table 10). More than half (53%) of seed produced in Humboldt Bay is used by the same company that produces it. Some companies may account for the use of seed within other parts of their own business as sales, while other companies do not consider the use of
14
seed within their own business as a form of sales or revenue. Therefore, the sales figure for seed and larvae is likely an underestimate of the total value of seed that the bay produces. Table 10. Percentage of Humboldt Bay produced seed and larvae that is allocated to different uses. Based on responses from all six businesses.

Companies were asked several questions about the types of venues and locations where they sell their market shellfish (Tables 11 a,b). Three businesses responded to the question. Their responses show that restaurants and retail outlets are the most common buyers of their shellfish. However, substantial portions of their sales are direct to customers and wholesalers. Four percent of their sales occur at a one-day event: Arcata Oysterfest. The majority of market shellfish produced by these companies is sold within Humboldt County (79%) and none of the businesses sold any oysters outside the United States, or even outside of California. It is important to note that these data come from responses from some of the smaller businesses operating in Humboldt Bay. Anecdotal information indicates that there is at least one business in Humboldt Bay that exports substantial portions of their shellfish out of the area and out of the state. Table 11. (a) The percentage of market shellfish that Humboldt Bay operators sell to various outlet types; (b) The percentage of market shellfish that operators sell to various locations or regions. These percentages are based on responses from three of the four businesses that produce market shellfish in Humboldt Bay.

Some businesses operating on the Bay have third party certification or eco-labeling associated with their shellfish production activities. Certifications possessed by businesses operating in the Bay include Food Alliance, B Corp, and ASC. 4.8 Collaborations/Community Work Responses to the survey indicated that the mariculture industry is active in the community. Based on responses from five of the six businesses, collectively the industry spends 267
15
employee hours a month collaborating or engaging with the community. This includes involvement in permitting processes for businesses other than their own, involvement in graduate student research projects, Humboldt State University activities, water quality studies, eelgrass and black brant studies, shellfish growth and safety studies, high school activities, agriculture extension projects, Adopt a Highway, Adopt a Bay, beach clean-ups, and farm-to-table initiatives in the community. Survey results indicated that, in general, the six businesses on the bay work well together and are supportive of each other. 4.9 Concerns for the Future Each business was asked to rank their top five concerns for the future of the mariculture industry based on a list of 14 possible concerns. They were also given the option to add another possible concern or threat. Cumulatively respondents only marked 11 of the threats (along with other) as being within their top five concerns. Figure 3 shows the number of businesses that selected each concern within their top five. Top concerns included tideland availability (or access to grow-out grounds), permitting costs, water quality, and regulatory changes. Changing ocean conditions, availability of seed, and community perceptions were also ranked as key concerns. None of the respondents marked fuel costs, labor costs, or price/market changes as being within their top five concerns. The respondent who selected other asked that “politics” be added as a concern that the industry faces. Figure 3.

4.10 Projections for 2022 For most of the categories on the survey we asked businesses to project how they believed that category would change for their company over the course of the next five years (in 2022). Table 11 shows a summary of projections for the different categories. Not all businesses replied with precise estimates, some simply stated whether they believed categories would increase or decline. In cases when a business did not reply with a specific number, we kept the same value from 2016. As a result, these are to be considered underestimates of the total change that businesses plan to experience. Businesses also included narrative comments about why they believed certain aspects of their business would change in the next five years. Table 12. Humboldt Bay mariculture business projections of change from 2016 to 2022.
2016 2022 Projections % Change
# responded
# of employees 101 149 + 47.52% 5
Acres Under Cultivation 386 518 + 34.20% 5
Expenditures $10,243,878 $11,643,878 + 13.67% 2
4.10.1 Employment Projections According to company estimates, employment is projected to increase in Humboldt Bay by 48% in 2022. Companies indicated that the potential for additional employment is “closely tied to pre-permitting project completion”. The Harbor District is working on pre-permitting acreage in Humboldt Bay for mature oyster grow-out (HBHD 2015). If this project is approved, several companies operating in the bay will be able to expand their operations and as a result will need more employees. Expansion of seed and larvae production could also lead to an increase in employment. 4.10.2 Acreage Under Cultivation Projections When asked to estimate future acreage of cultivation in Humboldt Bay, participants estimated 518 acres of Humboldt Bay in 2022. Some businesses estimated that the acreage that their business had under cultivation would increase in the next five years while others estimated that it would decrease. Those companies projecting an increase cited the potential pre-permitting project, which would open up acreage for projection. Companies also cited increasing market demand for oysters as a motivation behind possible expansion. Businesses that projected a decrease in acres under cultivation cited concerns over, “eelgrass encroachment on existing grounds.” Encroaching eelgrass could lead to permitting challenges for some of the current oyster grounds. Businesses also mentioned the possibility of setting aside some of the acreage currently under cultivation as mitigation into the future. While projections were mixed business to business, overall respondents predicted at 35% increase in acres under cultivation over the next five years.
17
4.10.3 Expenditures Projections Not all businesses responded to questions related to projected expenditures in 2022. However, the few that did all cited that they believed their expenditures would increase over the course of the next five years. Projected increases in expenditures were linked to the need to purchase or upgrade equipment in the coming years and the possibility of expanding production if the mariculture pre-permitting project was approved. 4.10.4 Production and Revenue Projections We did not ask businesses to project production or revenue into the future. However, survey responses can give some insights into the future potential of the industry on the bay. In terms of mature shellfish production, several companies indicated that if grow-out grounds were to be permitted through the pre-permitting project (HBHD 2015) their mature shellfish production would increase dramatically. Pre-permitting might enable businesses that do not have any mature shellfish production in Humboldt Bay to begin producing shellfish as a part of the Humboldt Bay business model. Coast Seafoods’ permit for operations was recently renewed. While they were directed to reduce their total acreage under production; they were approved to grow shellfish at higher densities which could ultimately end up increasing their shellfish production over the next five years. Four of the six participants in the Humboldt Bay shellfish mariculture industry stated that they have plans to get into or increase shellfish seed and larvae production as a part of their business model. These respondents desired to increase their seed and larvae production because of the need for seed and the ability to stay relevant in the industry. In 2016, the one hatchery on Humboldt Bay was not yet producing larvae and most businesses that produce seed expressed a desire to increase seed production. Therefore, the bay is likely to see a large increase in seed and larvae production in the near future. Seed and larvae production provides tremendous potential for growth in the industry. Several of the businesses responded that they might be interested in pursuing new types of mariculture in the future. Some companies hoped to add shellfish species that are being produced by other entities in the bay (but not by them) to their own business model. Respondents also expressed an interest in exploring seaweed and scallop production in Humboldt Bay. 5.0 ANALYSIS AND ECONOMIC IMPACT 5.1 Economic Impact Data reveal that the mariculture industry is an important contributor to the economy of the Humboldt Bay region (Table 13). In 2016, the industry provided 101 direct jobs in the region and produced $9.8 million in direct value from sales of locally produced shellfish and shellfish
18
seed and larvae. Of the industry revenue for the bay, 62% comes from the sale of Kumamoto whole oysters, 3% from the sale of Pacific whole oysters, and 34% from the sale of seed and larvae. A small amount of additional revenue related to the Humboldt Bay mariculture industry comes from sale of other shellfish products (whole mussels), from sales of branded merchandise, and from hosting mariculture tours. When assessing total economic impacts of any industry the revenue from the industry only accounts for direct economic activity. There are also indirect impacts for the economy of any region. For example, dollars spent by the industry on payroll generate economic activity in the region when these individuals spend their earnings in the local community. Thus, for every dollar of revenue earned, a multiple of that revenue is generated for the surrounding businesses. Typically, economists account for the indirect impacts of any given business through what are called multipliers. Development of a multiplier is beyond the scope of this study. Northern Economics Inc. (2013) conducted an input-output study of the mariculture industries of Washington, Oregon, and California. They were able to generate individual economic multipliers for Washington and California and our study will utilize the California multiplier generated in that study. The economic multiplier developed for California is 1.97 (Northern Economics Inc. 2003, p. 29). Thus, every dollar of economic activity in the industry is estimated to generate a total of $1.97 of total economic activity. The shellfish mariculture industry in Humboldt Bay is a multimillion-dollar industry with revenues of $9.8 million in 2016. We estimated that this in turn generated a total of $19.3 million of economic activity when accounting for the multiplier effect. Table 13. Summary of the Economic Impact of the Mariculture Industry in the Humboldt Bay region
Jobs 101
Payroll $3.01 million
Revenue $9.8 million
Economic Impact (multiplier effect) $19.3 million
When asked to project the state of their businesses five years out (2022), overall respondents expected that employment, acreage under production, expenditures, production, and sales would all increase. Many of these projected increases are connected to the Humboldt Bay Harbor District’s pre-permitting project, which would pre-permit grounds for mature shellfish production and lease it to businesses operating in the bay. The project has not yet been approved, but if it does, the economic impact of the industry is likely to increase. Additionally, production and revenue from seed and larvae production is likely to increase substantially in the near future as hatcheries develop and businesses look to increase production. Seed and larvae production are not as constrained by permitting processes so growth in that sector may be able to proceed at a more rapid pace when compared to mature shellfish production. The final projection for mariculture sales in 2016 – $9.8 million – was generated from our survey responses where all six businesses responded with information. It is important to note
19
that this number differs from the dollar value of shellfish sales provided by California Department of Fish and Wildlife. That data had sales revenues of $10,060,438. While this difference might appear insignificant, the CDFW data does not include seed and larvae sales. From our survey seed and larvae sales accounted for $3,373,271 of revenue in a $9.8 million industry. The CDFW estimated also includes substantial revenue from one company related to a species of shellfish that the company did not sell at all in 2016. When we contacted the company, they said the CDFW data must be incorrect. Interestingly, when looking at the aggregate sales and expenditure data the industry as a whole is running at a slight loss. Total sales were $9.8 million and total expenditures $10.2 million. Two factors may help to explain this finding. First, some of the larger companies operating in Humboldt Bay also operate in other regions. In some cases seed that is produced in Humboldt Bay is exported to other areas for final grow-out. Depending on how each business does their accounting it would be possible for the cost of producing the seed to be reported for in the Humboldt Bay regional expenditures, whereas the final revenue from the sale of the market shellfish product to be recorded in a different region. This result also could be linked to the new and up-and-coming state of seed and larvae production on Humboldt Bay. Several facilities have recently moved into larvae or seed production on Humboldt Bay. This may have led to substantial upfront investment in infrastructure and facilities. At the same time, revenues may not have been that high as the facilities were not yet been producing seed and larvae at capacity. Additionally, revenue related to seed and larvae production on Humboldt Bay is likely to increase substantially in the coming years. Operators also reported that expenditures can vary year to year depending on the permitting cycle. In years when they have to renew permits businesses must pay a large amount in consulting and permit fees which may lead to a loss in that year. However, typically they should be able to make that loss up in non-permitting years. 5.2 Revenue Diversification All of the companies reported that 95% or more of their Humboldt Bay region revenue comes from the sale of market oysters and seed. Companies reported additional revenue from merchandizing and offering farm tours. At least one company operating in the Humboldt Bay region owns restaurants for shellfish, but these restaurants are located outside the region. Tourism and merchandise could be a source of revenue growth and diversification in the future though the growth potential is probably small. None of the survey respondents participate in value added products like shucked and jarred oyster sales out of their Humboldt Bay facilities. Nor do any report sales of frozen oysters. The larger companies may conduct these operations in other regions/states. Lack of participation by smaller producers is possibly due to the lack of processing facilities or because inventory is more profitably allocated to other consumers. Investment in processing facilities could provide potential opportunities for revenue diversification and growth.
20
5.3 Seed Survey results reveal that shellfish seed is a very important component of the mariculture industry in Humboldt Bay. Overall, seed represented the highest expenditure for the industry, amounting to 42% of total expenditures. Seed production is also emerging as an important source of revenue. In 2016, seed and larvae sales accounted for $3.4 million or 34% of total sales for the industry. Given the recent addition of hatchery and seed facilities in the area, that number is likely to increase in the future. Cost and availability of seed was noted as a challenge by most participants in the survey and all respondents indicated that there was limited availability of seed. Therefore, production and access to seed is an important bottleneck for the industry. Investment in seed production to alleviate this bottleneck could provide important efficiency gains and risk/cost reduction for the industry. This fact is recognized by the producers in the region. Five businesses responded that they plan to get into or increase seed production in the next five years. The ability to produce or purchase seed and larvae is vital and potential seed shortages can pose a serious risk to the industry. Seed and larvae production also provides an important potential source of revenue growth for the industry into the future. Seed production is not subject to the same spatial limitations and permitting challenges as mature oyster production, so it may be poised for a more extensive expansion. However, in the survey, oyster operators also expressed a desire for more grow-out grounds. Operators reported that they are able to sell all the mature shellfish that they produce and space for mature grow-out is the most limiting factor in terms of future growth in mature shellfish sales. The approval of the pre-permitting project could also be a means to increase the production and economic output of the industry in the region. 6.0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to think the mariculture businesses and employees who donated their time to participate in this survey.

DATE: December 7, 2018
TITLE: Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Contract Between the Harbor District and the Shelter Cove Fishing Preservation Incorporated for Janitorial Services Associated with the Fish Cleaning Station, Sublease the Mario’s Marina Property and the Transfer of Two Tractors.
_________________________________________________________________________________________ STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board: Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Contract between the Harbor District and the Shelter Cove Fishing Preservation Incorporated for janitorial services associated with the Fish Cleaning Station and the transfer of two tractors.
BACKGROUND: Harbor District operation’s at Shelter Cove, include but are not limited to, maintaining the State tidelands, boat ramp, breakwater, fish cleaning station, boat storage, and boat launching. The Harbor District’s operations are in transition and we are in the process of planning major renovations associated with the fish cleaning operations and discontinuing direct boat launching services. The Harbor District has been working closely with the Shelter Cove Resort Improvement District (SCRID) and a group of local fishermen that are in the process of forming a non-profit organization called “Shelter Cove Fishing Preservation Incorporated” (SCFPI). The Harbor District and SCFPI have tentatively agreed to transfer the janitorial services associated with the fish cleaning station as well as a sublease of the Mario’s Marina property as outlined in the attached Term Sheet.
The Harbor District has received grant funds from the State of California to discontinue discharging fish offal directly into the ocean. Current plans are to either pretreat the fish waste and discharge it into the wastewater treatment system operated by SCRID or to implement a fish waste composting operation. The preferred disposal option by both SCRID and Harbor District staff is to implement a pilot composting operation.
DISCUSSION: The SCFPI has requested that the Harbor District authorize an agreement to compensate SCFPI for the janitorial and routine maintenance services. The agreement will specify that SCFPI will begin implementing the services no later than April 1, 2019. Prior to the implementation date, the Harbor District will need authorization from the property owner to sublease the property to SCFPI. As part of the Agreement, the Harbor District would service the two tractors, as described in the term sheet, and SCFPI relieve the Harbor District of all financial and other responsibilities associated with the Equipment Lease Option and Purchase Agreement dated April 5, 2016.

STAFF REPORT – HARBOR DISTRICT MEETING December 11, 2018
TO: Honorable Board President and Harbor District Board Members
FROM: Larry Oetker, Executive Director
DATE: December 7, 2018
TITLE: Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the Harbor District and Principle Power Inc., Aker Solutions Inc., EDPR Offshore North America LLC, and Redwood Coast Energy Authority
__________________________________________________________________________
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board: 1. Authorize the Executive Director to Execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the
Harbor District and Principle Power Inc., Aker Solutions Inc., EDPR Offshore North America LLC,and Redwood Coast Energy Authority.
2. Appoint a subcommittee of the Board to work with Staff on developing a renewable energy hubin Humboldt Bay.
3. Authorize the Sub-committee and Executive Director to draft and submit comments to BOEMprior to the January 28th comment period deadline.
BACKGROUND: By creating access to economically-priced renewable energy, renewable resource diversification, and enhanced economic activity in coastal areas, floating offshore wind energy development represents tremendous opportunity for the State of California, Humboldt County, and the Port of Humboldt Bay. Wind resource offshore of Humboldt County are particularly strong and the Port of Humboldt Bay is the only deep-water port with substantial port facilities and upland infrastructure to support the assembly and deployment of these large offshore structures. The parties comprising the MOU have made a preliminary assessment of the existing facilities through multiple site visits and recognize that the Port has a high potential to become a hub for offshore wind energy on the West Coast.
DISCUSSION: The MOU Parties intend to collaborate with local community stakeholders to identify and address local infrastructure improvements. These investments are intended to be directed towards the broadest community benefit and will require skilled labor from the immediate and surrounding area. The MOU Parties agree to cooperate and work together in good faith for the purpose of planning port infrastructure improvements at the Port of Humboldt Bay needed to serve the construction, installation, and operations of the Redwood Coast Offshore Wind Project, an approximately 100MW to 150MW floating offshore wind energy project off the coast of Humboldt County. The attached Memorandum of Understanding between the Harbor District and Principle
Agenda Item 12.d
Page 2 of 2
Power Inc., Aker Solutions Inc., EDPR Offshore North America LLC, and Redwood Coast Energy Authority will help to guide our future planning, permitting, financing, and construction activities. BOEM OFFSHORE LEASE STATUS: In September 2018, the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA) submitted an “unsolicited lease application” to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for a prospective offshore wind energy project. The Harbor District along with twenty other governmental, non profit, for profit and private entities submitted letters of support of RCEA’s lease application package. RCEA’s goal was that BOEM would accept their unsolicited lease request enabling them to advance the responsible development of our offshore wind resource in a manner that maximizes benefits to the local community. However, in October BOEM announced that they will be pursuing a “competitive lease process” and will not be reviewing RCEA’s lease application. As a result, RCEA’s locally based project team will be competing against other developers from throughout the world. Some of these will likely have no real stake in our community for the right to develop a wind project off the Humboldt coast. As part of the competitive lease process, BOEM will be accepting public comments from interested stakeholders until January 28, 2019 at https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=BOEM-2018-0045 Staff intends to bring this item back to the full Board several times over the next several months to educate the Board/community and to seek guidance and direction from the Board.

PREAMBLE
By creating access to economically-priced renewable energy, renewable resource diversification,
and enhanced economic activity in coastal areas, floating offshore wind energy development
represents tremendous opportunity for the State of California. This is especially true of Humboldt
County, where the wind resource offshore is particularly strong, and Humboldt Bay is endowed
with characteristics that make it well-suited for investment to support the deployment of offshore
wind systems. The Parties recognize these advantages and seek to identify and support
development of floating offshore wind energy projects off the coast of Humboldt County.
The Port of Humboldt Bay is the only deep-water port in Northern California located in Humboldt
County with substantial port facilities and upland infrastructure. The Parties made a preliminary
assessment of the existing facilities through multiple site visits and recognize that the Port has a
high potential to become a hub for offshore wind energy on the Northern Coast.
While upgrades of existing facilities and/or development of new facilities are required, real
opportunities exist to drive investments and incrementally develop infrastructure capabilities for
offshore wind structures fabrication, assembly, load-out and pre-commissioning activities. These
infrastructure improvements are needed to serve the Redwood Coast Offshore Wind Project, as
well as future offshore wind energy commercial developments in the region and represent a real
opportunity to revitalize the Port of Humboldt Bay.
The Parties intend to collaborate with local community stakeholders to identify and address local
infrastructure improvements. These investments are intended to be directed towards the broadest
community benefit and will require skilled labor from the immediate and surrounding area.
AGREEMENT
The Parties agree to cooperate and work together in good faith for the purpose of planning port
infrastructure improvements at the Port of Humboldt Bay needed to serve the construction,
installation, and operations of the Redwood Coast Offshore Wind Project (“The Project”), an
3
approximately 100MW to 150MW floating offshore wind energy project off the coast of Humboldt
County. As part of this agreement, the Parties agree to work together:
1. To cooperate and work with other stakeholders globally, regionally, locally to identify and
reasonably address local infrastructure improvements needed for the construction,
deployment, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of the Project’s components;
2. To inform the HARBOR DISTRICT’s future business plan, strategic planning effort,
permitting and environmental review for port infrastructure developments required to serve
the Project that will drive investments and spur economic activity in the region;
3. To identify and evaluate any potential needs or impacts to current port users, existing
waterfront businesses, local stakeholders, and the environment associated with the
Project’s development, construction, operations, and decommissioning, and to take
reasonable steps to meet these needs and minimize these impacts;
4. To seek out and cooperate on mutually beneficial grant or public funding opportunities that
are consistent with the goals of this agreement;
5. To work together to negotiate the main elements of a future port facility leasing,
purchasing, and/or other relevant agreements for the Project’s construction and deployment
activities, considering the price and terms that meet the needs of the Parties, their
customers, members, and investors;
6. To coordinate and cooperate with state and other relevant officials in ways that advance
the Project’s interests;
7. To inform all other Parties in a timely fashion of relevant developments that could affect
or impact the goals of this agreement, and;
8. To identify and reasonably address the additional relevant needs of any Party that may arise
during the Project development process.
This Memorandum does not establish a joint venture, partnership, or business unit of any kind
between the Parties, nor does it necessarily create a financial obligation on behalf of either Party.
Further the Memorandum does not grant or create an exclusive right to negotiate between the
Parties; and either party is free to negotiate or explore similar agreements with other persons and
entities.

PRE-PROJECT EELGRASS CHECKLIST
Please complete the Eelgrass Pre-project Checklist below. Note that the checklist questions relate to the Area of Potential Effect (APE) associated with your project, which incorporates a surrounding buffer inclusive of the limits of potential construction and/or maintenance-related activities that could affect eelgrass habitat. Provide a copy of the completed questionnaire along with your permit application and a map depicting the proposed project location, potential eelgrass depth range-10 to +4 feet, and benchmark eelgrass distribution in the vicinity of the proposed project. Maps should be of an appropriate scale to clearly depict the preliminary/proposed APE boundary in relation to both existing and potential eelgrass resources as provided in the Humboldt Bay Eelgrass Comprehensive Management Plan and associated webpage (humboldtbay.org/eelgrass-management-plan). Here you’ll find information and links including eelgrass information for permit applicants, a baseline eelgrass distribution map, and the Humboldt Bay Eelgrass Comprehensive Management Plan. Contact the Harbor District office with questions (443-0801).
For New Projects: YES NO
a) Is the project located within 100 feet of previously mapped (known) eelgrass habitat? x
b) Will any construction or new operational traffic occur within the vicinity of existing eelgrass? x
c) Is any portion of the project located in an area with depths ranging from -10 to +4 feet? x
d) Does the project result in new cover, shading or other form of light reduction of open water areas ranging in depth from -10 to +4 feet?
x
e) Is the project anticipated to affect wind or tidal circulation patterns within the bay? x
f) Could the project affect ambient water temperature or clarity or result in new effluent (including stormwater) discharge point?
x
g) Does the project result in any placement of fill, including shoreline armor? x
h) Is the project anticipated to lead to an increase in boat traffic that could affect nearby eelgrass habitat through grounding, prop scarring, wake, or shading impacts?
x
For Maintenance/Repair Projects and Construction Activities:
YES NO i) Is project construction likely to increase turbidity? To what extent and for what duration? x
j) Will construction require the use of a barge or other vessel that may temporarily impact the bay floor (e.g. spud poles, anchoring, prop scarring, etc.) within known eelgrass habitat or within depths ranging from -10 to +4 feet?
x
k) Will construction require the use of turbidity curtains in proximity to eelgrass habitat? x
l) Will project construction result in temporary shading from moored/anchored working vessel(s)?
x
If you responded yes to any of the questions above, your project may have the potential to affect eelgrass habitat and you’ll need to conduct a preliminary eelgrass survey. Please refer to the District’s Eelgrass Management Plan webpage for further guidance and a list of local agency contacts should you have additional questions.

EELGRASS This project has the potential to effect eelgrass habitat, which was discussed in the 2016 Biological Assessment submitted to National Marine Fisheries Service and their Letter of Concurrence (provided on CD). There is eelgrass present within the 101 Slough near the Eureka Slough tide gate, where work will occur. This project may have construction impacts such as increased turbidity, but will not have long-term impacts such as increased shading or removal of habitat. The tide gates are being replaced with the intention of maintaining the current circulation patterns and potentially allowing more saltwater into the 101 Slough, which would be beneficial to eelgrass. The project includes some shoreline armoring at the Gannon Slough tide gate and weir area, but there is not eelgrass at this location. The project has the potential to increase turbidity during construction, but this was determined to be discountable in the Biological Assessment and Letter of Concurrence:
With implementation of measures that minimize turbidity, potential impacts to eelgrass from construction-related turbidity are discountable given they are extremely unlikely to occur, and would be insignificant if they were to occur because they would be short term (on the order of hours) and likely rinse clean off the leaves within a day or so whereby resulting in inconsequential disturbance to photosynthesis and plant growth. (Page 31, National Marine Fisheries Letter of Concurrence April 29, 2016)
Please refer to the Biological Assessment and Letter of Concurrence for more details on potential impacts to eelgrass. Answer all questions completely on a separate page. If the question does not apply to your project, so indicate by marking N.A. Contact Harbor District Office with questions. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Description
Replacement of The Southbound Jacoby Creek Bridge
The existing southbound (SB) Jacoby Creek Bridge on U.S. Highway 101 (US 101) at post mile (PM) 84.6 was originally constructed in 1920 for a two lane conventional highway. The original bridge was approximately 73 feet long and consisted of reinforced concrete beams resting on four reinforced concrete bents. The bridge was widened by approximately 16 feet in 1956 when the two lane highway was converted for use as the southbound (SB) lanes of a divided highway. Due to age and deterioration, and the need for more frequent and costly maintenance, this bridge needs to be replaced.
The new bridge will be approximately 73 feet long and 43 feet wide (6 feet wider than the current bridge). The additional width is to allow for standard shoulder widths and bridge rails. The new bridge will be two lanes wide and single span with no piers in the channel, unlike the current bridge which is a three-span structure with two rows of piles within the channel. The new bridge will be constructed at a deck elevation approximately two feet higher than the existing bridge elevation to account for anticipated sea-level rise and to keep the new bottom of soffit above existing soffit elevations. The new bridge will have approximately 300 square feet more surface area and will shade an additional 300 square feet area of Jacoby Creek.
Elements of construction of the detour bridge and demolition of the SB Jacoby Creek Bridge are described in further detail below.
Construction of the Detour Bridge
The replacement southbound Jacoby Creek bridge will be constructed adjacent to the existing bridge within the median. A temporary detour of the southbound lanes will be constructed within the median and will utilize the new bridge on the detoured alignment. The temporary realignment onto the new bridge allows the demolition of the existing SB Jacoby Creek Bridge. After the old bridge is removed
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 2
and the new bridge abutments installed, the detour bridge will then be moved to the new bridge location by using a jack-and-slide method.
Construction of the detour will involve the removal of approximately 0.05 acre of riparian vegetation within the highway median, including four large, non-native Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) trees (diameter at breast height [dbh] 30-61 inches). The detour bridge approaches will require approximately two years of temporary paving in approximately 0.4 acre of wetland. Although the approaches will be restored once construction is complete, the 0.4-acre impact to wetland will be considered a permanent impact due to the extended duration of up to two years of loss of wetland function.
In the median on both sides of Jacoby Creek, two areas (each about 50 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet deep) will be excavated east of the existing bridge for the temporary detour bridge abutments. All excavated material will be contained to prevent sediments from entering waterways, or the excavated material will be placed directly into dump trucks and carried to an approved disposal site. These excavations will be above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM), avoiding the water of the active, wetted Jacoby Creek channel and associated emergent vegetation; however, water is expected to enter the excavated areas, therefore dewatering or seepage prevention will be required.
Within the excavated areas on either side of the channel, six or eight 36-inch diameter cast-in-place-steel shell (CISS) piles will be installed by oscillation, vibration or rotation approximately 15 to 20 feet from the wetted channel. Pile installation for the detour bridge is expected to take approximately six hours per day over the course of a week. The piles will be set approximately 100 feet deep. All pile placing equipment will be staged outside the banks of Jacoby Creek. Soil will be removed from inside the upper section of the CISS piles and filled with reinforced concrete. After the piles are installed, abutment footings will be constructed on the piles. A temporary concrete washout facility will be placed on-site for concrete clean up. Construction of the abutments is expected to take approximately one to two months to complete during the summer of the first year of construction.
The detour bridge will be pre-cast box sections transported to the site and lowered into place by a crane. The sections will be bolted together then capped/bonded with a concrete deck surface. Bridge rails will then be installed. Temporary fill will be placed for the detour bridge approaches and paved, then SB traffic will be diverted to the new bridge.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 3
Demolition of the Existing Jacoby Creek Bridge
Once the detour is operational, the old bridge will be demolished. The contractor will be required to submit a demolition plan, to be approved by the Caltrans Resident Engineer, which will describe methods and measures taken to restrict or minimize construction debris from entering the creek channel prior to demolition. The California Coastal Commission (CCC), California Department of fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQB) will also have an opportunity to review the demolition plan.
Prior to demolition, a debris containment system will be installed per the approved demolition plan. Temporary containment could be mounted to either the existing bridge support piles or placed on the banks of the creek outside the wetted channel to allow for removal of the bridge rails, concrete deck, and beams while minimizing the possibility of debris entering the creek channel.
Once the containment system is in place, the bridge rails will be removed with a small hoe-ram, jackhammers and/or concrete saws. Using a crane or excavator, the deck and beams will likely be taken out in pieces from above. The pile caps supporting the existing bridge deck will then be removed, similar to the deck removal. Debris will be removed from the debris containment system as demolition work proceeds. All concrete debris will be moved outside the project limits to be recycled or disposed at an approved disposal site.
Twelve of the existing bridge piers (a row of six piers on either side of the channel) are situated above the water line on the bank of Jacoby Creek and their removal will not impact the creek channel. These piers will be cut off at an elevation sufficiently low enough to accommodate the new bridge’s foundation, which will be approximately four feet below the existing roadway elevation. The twelve remaining piers are in the water even at low tide and their removal will require in-stream work. To ensure all minimization and avoidance measures are implemented, a biological monitor will be present during all in-stream activities associated with removal of the existing SB Jacoby Creek Bridge and piers.
The twelve piers within the channel will be removed above the water line of the creek during low tide to avoid the need for excavation or isolation casing and to minimize turbidity. This will likely be accomplished by tightly wrapping containment material (high density polyethylene [HDPE] sheets to control dust and debris from entering the creek) to the piers below the water line, then using a concrete saw or pneumatic/hydraulic hammer to cut the piers above the water line. The cut piers will be tethered to an excavator or crane operating from outside the channel, then removed and placed outside
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 4
the channel. Pier removal will take approximately two weeks to complete. After demolition and removal of all structural elements of the bridge, the debris containment system will be removed.
Construction of New Bridge Abutments and Final Bridge Alignment
In the excavated areas of the old abutments, new abutments will be extended to the west along both banks of Jacoby Creek. Six to eight CISS piles will be installed on the banks about 15 to 20 feet from the wetted channel for the abutments of the new bridge. The piles will be driven to specified depths, to less than 100 feet deep, using a vibratory or oscillating pile driver. Water is expected to enter the excavated areas, therefore dewatering or seepage prevention will be required. Reinforcing and concrete will be placed within the steel shell. The abutments and pile caps will be formed, reinforcing placed, and concrete poured. A temporary concrete washout facility will be placed on-site for concrete clean up, and all pile driving equipment will be staged outside the banks of Jacoby Creek.
The SB roadway will be closed for one night. Using the jack-and-slide method, the detour bridge deck will be moved approximately 44 feet west to the original alignment with the highway. The bridge will be paved and striped, and traffic will be re-routed.
Once the new bridge is operational, the remaining asphalt surface of the detour bridge will be removed and recycled or properly disposed of outside the project limits. The fill placed for the detour will be removed and contoured to the pre-construction slopes within the median. The finished surface will be seeded with a California native seed mix and non-persistent cereal grain for erosion control. Once the area is stabilized, silt fences or other temporary Best Management Practice (BMP) systems utilized to prevent construction debris or sediment from entering Jacoby Creek will be removed.
The abutments of the detour bridge will remain in place, to be utilized for traffic staging for future replacement of the NB bridge when it reaches the end of its useful life. The abutments will be covered with topsoil and planted until such time when they will be used again.
Bridge Rail Upgrades at Jacoby Creek and Gannon Slough
The existing northbound (NB) Jacoby Creek and NB Gannon Slough bridges were originally constructed in 1955 and are approximately 74.5 feet long and 76.5 feet long, respectively, and 39 feet wide. The bridges consist of reinforced concrete slabs resting on reinforced concrete pile caps on concrete piles. There are four bents in total for the NB Jacoby Creek Bridge and five for the NB Gannon Slough Bridge.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 5
The new bridge rails will be cantilevered from the existing bridges, requiring no piers within the watercourses. A containment system will be placed along the edges of the bridges to keep foreign materials from entering the watercourses during construction. Construction of the bridge rails will be performed from the roadway; however, workers may need to walk on the bed, bank or channel of the watercourses to install and remove the debris containment system.
Both bridges will be widened by approximately 24 inches (12 inches on each side of the bridges) to accommodate the new bridge rails; however, the lane widths of 11 feet and 12 feet, the right shoulder (10 feet), and the left shoulder (4 feet) will match the existing widths. Steel tubular railing will meet standard height requirements for bicycle and pedestrian use. The wider bridge configurations will shade approximately an additional 75 square feet of Gannon Slough and an additional 100 square feet of Jacoby Creek.
Tide Gate Replacement
Eight tide gates at five different locations within the environmental study limit (ESL) will be replaced (Table 1). The tide gates within the ESL were installed in 1954, are aging and in poor condition, and require emergency repair at an increasing rate. Included are the dual tide gates off Airport Road where the 101 Slough outlets at Eureka Slough behind the Farm Store on Jacobs Avenue; the tide gate south of Mid-City Motor World that connects to a roadside ditch at California Redwood Company; a tide gate at Brainard Slough north of Bracut; a tide gate at Old Jacoby Creek; and a triple tide gate at Gannon Slough, north of the NB Gannon Slough Bridge.

Currently, all the tide gates are the standard top-hinged flap gate design, either round or rectangular. At the locations where federally-listed fish such as salmonids and tidewater goby may be present, a fish-friendly design will be installed to facilitate fish passage. The Old Jacoby Creek, 101, Brainard, and Gannon Sloughs are locations where both gobies and salmonids may be present and will receive a fish-friendly tide gate. If there are fish present at a location with more than one tide gate, only one
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 6
fish-friendly gate will be installed. Once installed, the fish-friendly tide gates will be adjusted to maintain existing muted tidal flow conditions to perpetuate current habitat conditions present inland of the tide gates, such as minimum and maximum water level, salinity, and water level fluctuations. There are a number of tide gate configurations available to provide fish passage. These include self-regulating or buoyant gate; a permanent, adjustable guillotine gate that creates a continual passage; a Muted Tide Regulator Gate; and Mitigator Fish Passage Gate. The final tide gate design selection will be determined with technical assistance requested from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). Operation of the tide gates, and subsequent habitat enhancement, will likely be linked to further restoration activities unrelated to the action. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans will work with regulatory agencies and adjacent landowners to ensure the development and implementation of adaptive management strategies for operation of the newly installed fish-friendly tide gates to balance the habitat and fish passage needs of listed salmonids and tidewater goby with suitable land uses.
The California Redwood Company ditch has no upstream fish habitat, so this replacement gate will not have a fish-friendly design. These tide gates will be replaced with a flexible rubber tide gate. The opening of this style of tide gate is a vertical slot in a single molded piece of rubber that is mounted at the outlet of the culvert. The vertical opening is flexible and the default position is closed. When the hydraulic head differential changes, the slot opens and water flows downstream. The hydraulic head differential needed to open this type of gate is quite small, so the water flows out slowly. This design is low maintenance and debris will not prevent the gate from closing. The flexible nature of the opening allows it to close over debris and form a seal. All replacement gates will make use of existing headwall structures and will be installed at the same level as the existing gates. Tide gate work will generally consist of removing the existing tide gates and likely re-drilling and installing new stainless steel anchors epoxied into existing concrete. Minor structural modifications to the headwalls, including concrete placement, may be needed to mount the new gates. The U.S. 101 Slough location is proposed to have a new maintenance access manway installed concurrent with the tide gate installation. The new tide gates will generally be placed by cranes then bolted into place. The existing access road at Airport Avenue will be utilized for the placement of the tide gates at the U.S. 101 Slough. Existing vegetation and shrubs will be mowed prior to the migratory bird nesting period. The remaining locations will utilize the existing shoulder on U.S. 101. Some vegetation removal may be needed to establish access to each site.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 7
Tide gate replacement will coincide with low flow and low tide periods during the summer and/or winter months to minimize turbidity, exposure to fish (Caltrans NMFS 2016 BA, Appendix VII), and to ease construction. Even at low tide or within the dry season there may be a small amount of run-off flow, and one or two workers may have to enter the channel to position and install the new gate, potentially resulting in minor turbidity. If water is present in the channel during tide gate replacement, temporary exclusion devices will be placed in the channel to keep water out of the construction zone. The exclusion devices are anticipated to be in place no longer than 8 hours.
Rock Weir Construction at Gannon Slough
Caltrans proposes to construct a rock weir in the channel of Gannon Slough downstream of the tide gates to form a backwater for the tide gate and to facilitate passage success for all salmonid life stages by providing a staging area for adults migrating upstream during the spawning season. Approximately 200 cubic yards of rock will be installed to provide backwater at the outlet of the triple tide gates (Caltrans 2016 Biological Assessment (BA), diagram in Appendix IV). The weir will be sealed with gravel and fines, creating areas where water can pool below the tide gates during ebb tide. The rock will cover an area 40 feet by 20 feet by about 3 feet deep, and extend up the side banks to prevent scouring from the outpour of the tide gates. To minimize turbidity and exposure to fish, placement of the rock will coincide with low flow and low tide periods during the summer or winter months (Caltrans 2016 BA, Appendix VII). Construction of the weir will likely be completed during low tide events. When the tide re-floods the area, some minor turbidity could be generated.

Vegetation Type
To construct the NB Jacoby Creek Bridge detour, four large (non-native) Monterey pine trees will require removal. Given the riparian position of these trees, this area will be replanted with native, ecologically appropriate small tree and shrub species that meet safety and riparian tree requirements once construction is complete.

Special status animal or plant species or habitats
The proposed project may affect, and is likely to adversely affect, the federally threatened tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi) and designated tidewater goby critical habitat. Potential effects on the species, and avoidance and minimization measures, are covered by the formal consultation issued by USFWS November 2010 (USFWS: 81331-2010_F-0053).
See CD/USFWS BO/E_A Corridor
The proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the federally threatened Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast (SONCC) evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), California Coastal (CC) Chinook salmon ESU (O. tshawytscha), Northern California (NC) Distinct Population Segment (DPS) steelhead (O. mykiss), and Southern DPS of the North American green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), or their individual designated critical habitat. Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for Pacific coast salmon, Pacific groundfish, and coastal pelagic species also occurs in the project area and could be affected by the project. Potential effects to the species, critical habitat and EFH, and avoidance and minimization measures are covered by the formal consultation issued by NMFS on April 29, 2016.
See CD/NMFS 20150429_final LOC_Eureka_Arcata_Corridor.pdf
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 11
Although the project area is within the range of the federally and state threatened northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina); the federally threatened and state endangered marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus); the state endangered bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus); and state fully protected peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), there is no suitable nesting habitat for these birds within 0.25 mile of the project location and these species would not be affected by the project. The state fully protected California brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus), which could potentially roost in or fly over the project area, is not likely to be adversely affected by this work.
A number of special status rare plants have been found in or near the project area. One federally listed plant—western lily (Lilium occidentale)—has historically been found within 0.25 mile, but not within the project area. Based upon record search data, and the limited functions and values of the habitat due to regular disturbance from roadway maintenance, no additional state or federally listed plant species are expected to occur. Replacement of the SB bridge at Jacoby Creek will have minor temporary and permanent impacts to Lyngbye’s sedge (Carex lyngbyei)—a special status plant with a California Rare Plant Rank of 2B.21.
Measures to Protect Fish, Wildlife and Plant Resources
Best Management Practices (BMPs)
The contractor will be required to develop and implement site-specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP will identify appropriate and relevant BMPs that must be implemented to protect water quality throughout the life of the project. Caltrans proposes to apply all applicable BMPs presented in Table C-1 of the Stormwater Project Planning and Design Guide (PPDG). Table C-1 is a matrix of the Construction Site BMPs that have been approved for use during construction. Detailed descriptions and guidance regarding implementation of these BMPs may be found in the 2003 CSBMP. Caltrans will implement the short-term construction site BMPs and long-term design treatment BMPs, as follows:

Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 13
Long-Term Design and Permanent Treatment BMPs
• Cut and fill slopes will receive a hydroseed application formulated by a licensed Landscape Architect to provide final stabilization.
• Use of asphalt dikes and overside drains will be kept to a minimum to maintain stormwater sheet flow drainage patterns.
• Drainage conveyance systems will be designed with consideration of downstream effects.
• Use of a retaining wall structure to minimize impacts to adjacent wetlands and existing drainage patterns.
• Sheet flow stormwater runoff drainage patterns over vegetated fill slopes and swales will be maximized for biofiltration treatment.
Temporary Construction Site BMPs
• Scheduling: construction activities involving soil disturbance adjacent to wetlands and Other Waters will take place during dry weather conditions, generally between June 1 and October 15, to minimize sediment discharges to receiving waters. Furthermore, the SWPPP prepared by the contractor prior to construction will include a scheduling BMP that specifies: 1) the project schedule will sequence construction activities with the installation of both soil stabilization and sediment control measures; 2) BMPs will be deployed in a sequence to follow the progress of grading and construction; 3) the construction schedule will be arranged so that grading and construction will occur during the dry summer months; and 4) proper scheduling will be done to avoid grading, landscaping application, pavement striping, concrete work, and asphalt paving from occurring immediately prior to forecast rain events.
• Preparation of a Rain Event Action Plans 48-hours prior to any forecasted precipitation to ensure adequate stabilization of equipment, materials, and soils will be completed prior to rain.
• Any debris and sediment will be contained within the work site or diverted into a sedimentation basin before being returned to any receiving waters. Excess material excavated from the work site will be disposed off-site at an approved disposal site away from any stream course.
• Soil stabilization measures (mulching, straw wattles) will be implemented during and after construction to reduce sediment discharge from areas of disturbed soil. After construction, areas of bare soil will be seeded or planted with a non-persistent cereal grain and California native seed mix. Straw will be certified weed-free. These measures will provide for immediate soil stabilization and subsequent vegetative cover (i.e., next growing season) until natural processes resume.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 14
• When construction is complete, watercourse banks will be returned to natural contours.
• Silt fences, straw bales, or fiber rolls will be placed to control sediment discharge; minimal sediment will be released into receiving waters. Certified weed-free mulch, silt fences, straw bales, or fiber rolls will be applied to exposed soil areas for over-wintering protection from erosion.
• Measures will be taken to prevent construction equipment discharges from contaminating soil or waters in the construction site. Construction site entrances/exits will be stabilized and street sweeping performed to prevent tracking of sediment.
• Perimeter control for the temporary stockpiling of materials, soil, and debris that may contain potential contaminants (e.g., concrete debris, treated timbers). Excavated spoils will be controlled to prevent sedimentation to the stream.
• Use of geo-synthetic fabric (e.g., plastic, filter fabric) barriers to prevent the discharge of pollutants (e.g., sediment, oil and grease, etc.) when equipment is working adjacent to or over waterways.
• A temporary concrete washout facility will be placed on-site for concrete clean up. No concrete washings or water from concrete will be allowed to flow into waterways. No concrete will be poured within the waterways. Water that has come into contact with setting concrete will be pumped into a tank and disposed at an approved disposal site.
• To control fugitive dust during construction, loose debris will be cleaned up using a vacuum truck (as opposed to a kick broom machine). Also, pavement will be removed by cold planing, using a machine that deposits grindings directly into a truck. The cutting teeth of the grinder are lubricated with water, which is enough to minimize dust production, but not enough to create runoff.
• Preparation and implementation of a sampling and analysis plan for discharges during construction.
• For work at Jacoby Creek, instead of conventional hydraulic fluids, biodegradable vegetable or approved synthetic oil will be used for operating the vibratory hammer needed to install the bridge piles. Confirmation and approval from NMFS will be required before synthetic oil selection and use.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 15
General Avoidance and Minimization Measures
General avoidance and minimization measures will be implemented as part of construction activities to minimize and avoid impacts to sensitive as well as common biological resources. General avoidance and minimization measures are described below.
• Worker Education – A worker education program will be developed and implemented for all construction personnel. Training will be provided at the start of work and within five days of any new worker arrival. The program will consist of a briefing on environmental issues relative to the proposed project. Training will be conducted by a qualified biologist.
• Erosion Control – Erosion control and slope stabilization Best Management Practices (BMP)’s will be implemented. These practices may include installing temporary high visibility fencing (THV fencing), silt fencing, straw wattles, fiber rolls, hay bales, and other protective measures to avoid impacts to non-targeted areas. Temporary erosion control measures will be implemented at all disturbed areas. Permanent erosion control measures will be implemented upon completion of construction. Use of wildlife-friendly BMPs will be utilized.
• Environmentally Sensitive Area Designation – Caltrans will establish and indicate environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) on project plans and specifications to avoid potential construction impacts to sensitive biological resources (such as rare plant populations) located within and adjacent to the construction corridor. Temporary exclusionary fencing will be placed around populations of special status plant species prohibiting construction activities in those areas.
• Biological Monitoring – Caltrans will have a qualified biologist present as needed to monitor construction activities in sensitive biological resource areas to ensure adherence to permit conditions and avoidance and minimization requirements.
• Trash storage and disposal – Trash will be stored in predator-proof containers and transported off-site at the end of each work day.
• Restoration/revegetation – An on-site mitigation and revegetation plan will be developed and submitted with permit applications. All disturbed areas will be revegetated with native, non-invasive species or non-persistent hybrids that will serve to stabilize site conditions. Monitoring and maintenance of native plant reestablishment and non-native colonization will be implemented.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 16
Environmentally Sensitive Areas
Environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) will be identified on project plans and specifications and THV fencing will be installed in appropriate locations to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands, natural communities of special concern, and trees in areas immediately adjacent to construction zones, and no work or equipment storage will be allowed within the ESAs. A Caltrans biologist will work with the survey crew and the Resident Engineer to help delineate work zones to avoid and minimize wetland impacts and tree and other vegetation removal. Additional avoidance and minimization measure will include:
• Soil stabilization and sediment control (e.g., silt fences, fiber rolls, straw bale, temporary sedimentation barriers, hydraulic mulching, hydroseeding, and straw mulch).
• Non-stormwater management (e.g., water conservation practices, clear water diversion, concrete curing, and concrete finishing).
• Waste management and materials pollution control (material delivery and storage, material use, stockpile management, spill prevention and control, solid waste management, hazardous waste management, concrete waste management, and liquid waste management).
• Specific construction site BMPs to address potential discharges of water with a high pH from contact with wet concrete will be specified by the Project Engineer, with concurrence by the Construction Stormwater Coordinator for inclusion in the contract.
• The disturbed areas within the environmental study limit will be restored and revegetated to preconstruction conditions, using regionally-appropriate California native seed mix and seedlings of plant species found on the site, under the guidance of a Revegetation Specialist and Landscape Architect.
Equipment Storage Areas
• Primary staging areas will be on US 101 shoulders with possible additional staging areas on nearby private property. No staging areas will occur within environmentally sensitive areas.
• Any vehicles stored within 150 feet of the OHWL of drainage facilities, watercourses, sloughs, or Humboldt Bay will have spill prevention measures in place for refueling. This includes placement of an absorbent boom around the fuel port (on machine being fueled), as well as a thick absorbent mat that is rolled out on the ground under the equipment to catch a larger spill. When fueling vehicles and other equipment, there will be a person at both the fuel nozzle and the truck valve so that emergency shut-off could be made if there was a nozzle or hose failure.
• Proper and timely maintenance of vehicles and equipment used during construction to reduce the potential for mechanical breakdowns leading to a spill of materials.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 17
• All equipment remaining on the job site will have secondary containment placed beneath the drip zone when left overnight. Leaks will be immediately controlled with absorbent mats and repaired before equipment operates again. Clean-up of petrochemical drips will occur as soon as observed. All equipment will be monitored by the contractor daily for chemical leakage. To offer protection from storm events, Caltrans will require monitoring for storm events and the movement of equipment accordingly.
• For all night road work and paving operations that require the use of artificial light, light shields will be used to direct lighting toward the roadway and away from adjacent water bodies to avoid impacting the aquatic environment.
Conservation of Riparian Habitat
• The width of the construction disturbance zone within riparian areas will be minimized through careful pre-construction planning.
• Exclusionary fencing will be installed along the boundaries of all riparian areas and other environmentally sensitive areas (i.e., wetlands) to avoid impacts to these habitats outside the project footprint.
• Riparian vegetation removal (e.g., tree trimming) will be restricted to the minimum needed for construction access.
• Once the bridge detour is removed, the median at Jacoby Creek will be replanted with native trees and shrubs and seeded with native herbaceous vegetation that are aptly suited to the project region.
Bridge Work
• To avoid barotrauma to fish, no piles will be installed in the active, wetted channel for the new SB Jacoby Creek Bridge. Piles will be vibrated, oscillated, or rotated into place on the bank 15 to 20 feet from the wetted channel. Impact driving will not be used.
• Piers from the old SB Jacoby Creek Bridge will be cut above the low tide water level to avoid impacts to fish and fish habitat. The bridge piers will be removed without excavation or the use of isolation casing to minimize turbidity in the creek.
• To avoid and minimize impacts to the watercourses, all bridge debris will be contained. The demolition debris containment system may be mounted on the existing bridge piers and/or placed on the stream banks outside the wetted channel. Containment will minimize the potential for bridge demolition debris to enter the watercourse.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 18
• No construction equipment will work within the active, wetted creek channel; however, workers will need to walk within the stream to install, maintain, and remove the debris containment system. The contractor will be required to submit a Demolition Plan to the Resident Engineer for approval. The Demolition Plan will describe measures taken to restrict or minimize construction debris from entering the creek channel and to avoid or minimize the amount and extent of workers walking in the stream channel. The Demolition Plan will prohibit the use of any structure placed within the wetted channel of Jacoby Creek and require demolition activities coincide with low flow periods to minimize watercourse impacts.
• The contractor will be required to place temporary barrier fencing, or a similar form of visual barrier, along the entire length of the north and south banks of Jacoby Creek (within the vicinity of the SB and NB Jacoby Creek bridges) to minimize visual disturbance to fish and to prevent workers from crossing the creek during routine movements within the BSA. In addition, the contractor will build or install a temporary footbridge that workers may use to cross the creek without walking in the wetted channel. Both ends of the footbridge will be placed outside the wetted channel.
• Excavations for the temporary detour bridge abutments will be below the mean high tide line; cofferdams will be installed to exclude water in the Jacoby Creek channel.
• To ensure adherence to all permit conditions and all minimization and avoidance measures are implemented, a biological monitor will be present during all in-stream activities associated with removal of the old SB Jacoby Creek Bridge and piers. The biological monitor will also ensure the temporary footbridge and the visual barrier have been properly installed and maintained.
Fish
• In-stream work within a bed, bank, or channel of a watercourse will be restricted to the period between July 1st and October 15th.
• Construction activities restricted to this period include all tide gate replacements, rock weir construction at Gannon Slough, pile installation on the banks of Jacoby Creek for the new bridge and detour bridge, and activities associated with workers potentially walking in Jacoby Creek to install/maintain the debris containment structure and remove the old bridge piers.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 19
• Any work performed within a wetted channel that involves placement of rock or workers walking within the channel (i.e., construction of rock weir at Gannon Slough, possible tide gate replacement, and construction/maintenance of containment systems for bridge demolition and bridge pier removal) will coincide with low flow and low tide events (outside of significant precipitation events and between the latter two hours of outgoing tides and beginning two hours of incoming tides).
• Limit in-stream work to low flow and low tide periods to minimize potential turbidity associated with workers walking in the channel or rock placement, and minimize exposure and avoid injury to fish that might otherwise be present when water levels are higher.
Tide Gate Installation and Monitoring
• Tide gates will be installed during low tide (i.e., when old tide gates are out of the water) to minimize sediment release into waterways and to avoid fish that may occur at the tide gate sites when water is present.
• If water is present in the channel during tide gate replacement, temporary exclusion devices will be placed in the channel to keep water out of the construction zone. The exclusion devices would be in place no longer than 8 hours.
• Pre-project hydrologic conditions will be assessed upstream of the existing tide gates by a qualified consultant (approved by the USFWS and NMFS) prior to construction to document baseline conditions.
• The qualified consultant will make the preliminary settings to the adjustable fish-friendly tide gates. Since the gates are being replaced because they no longer close effectively, the new adjustable gates will be opened enough to mimic the current hydrology. Once the tide gates are installed, upstream water conditions will be monitored daily and the adjustable gate will be opened or closed slightly until average weekly post-construction conditions are within 95 percent of preconstruction conditions.
• Monitoring and adjustment will continue for two years following tide gate installation by a qualified consultant. There will be no monitoring of water conditions at new tide gates that are not adjustable (i.e., tide gates at Jacobs Avenue and California Redwood Company ditches).
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 20
Migratory Birds and Bats
The following avoidance and minimization measures will reduce the potential effects on migratory birds and bats:
• Install exclusion devices on the bridges before February 15 or conduct nest removal every 2-3 days during the nesting season (February 15 through September 1) to deter nesting migratory birds and roosting bats.
o Netting material will not be used as an exclusion device.
o If the nest removal strategy is implemented, a qualified biologist will survey the bridge before nest removal to ensure the nest is not occupied.
• Vegetation will be removed outside the bird breeding season (September 2 through February 14). If vegetation has not been cleared outside the breeding season (if cleared between February 15 and September 1), the following guidelines will be observed:
o No earlier than two weeks prior to construction, a qualified biologist will conduct migratory bird surveys to identify nesting birds within a 300-foot buffer of the project construction area. If active bird nests are found during pre-construction surveys:
A qualified biologist will coordinate with CDFW to establish the appropriate buffer for specific species.
A buffer will be delineated around each active nest, and construction activities within the buffer area will not occur.
A qualified biologist will monitor the active nest for disturbance during construction and nesting chronology. All disturbed areas will be revegetated and restored to pre-construction conditions. Replanting will occur with native plant material indigenous to the area.
Special-Status Plants
Avoidance and minimization measures for special status plant species will include:
• Placement of ½ to 2-inches thick metal/wood/rubber sheets over the top of the Lyngbye’s sedge stands where equipment access is required to prevent the equipment tracks/wheels from rutting and compressing the soil and uprooting or destroying the sedges.
• Install THV fencing so that equipment does not leave protective mats.
• Install THV fencing on the banks of Gannon Slough to protect the occurrences of Humboldt Bay owl’s-clover, western sand-spurrey, and seacoast angelica.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 21
Before construction, the Resident Engineer will work with the Project Biologist and Contract Biologist to locate placement of protective pads and THV fencing.
Invasive Plants
• All equipment used for off-road construction activities will be weed-free prior to entering the project.
• Any seed mixes or other vegetative material used for revegetation of disturbed sites will consist of non-persistent cereal grain, California native seed mix, or locally adapted native plant materials to the extent practicable.
• Any equipment (including boots/waders) and construction equipment shall be properly disinfected or cleaned according to guidance provided by the State of California Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plan (CDFW Revised 2016 protocol) prior to in-water work to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
• Excess excavated soil and plant materials will be disposed at an upland location where it cannot be washed into any watercourse. The disposal will comply with all county and local regulations.
• Caltrans will not allow disposal of soil and plant materials from any areas that support invasive species to areas that support stands dominated by native vegetation.
• Plant species used for erosion control will consist of native, non-invasive species or non-persistent hybrids that will prevent invasive species from colonizing.
• The Project Revegetation Plan will address and implement an invasive weed plan which will target identified invasive species on the California Department of Food and Agriculture or the Cal-IPC lists.
On-Site Mitigation and Revegetation Plan
The draft On-Site Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (On-Site MMP) is still in the editing phase and can be submitted the upon request.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District October 16, 2018 Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project 22
Off-Site Mitigation Plan
Caltrans proposes to utilize permittee-responsible mitigation strategy at an off-site location(s) in the north Humboldt Bay area to mitigate for permanent and temporal loss of wetlands from the proposed action. The current mitigation proposal involves establishing mitigation credits on the Lanphere parcel. The Lanphere parcel is diked former tidelands that are currently in agricultural use. The Lanphere parcel (project site—located approximately 3.5 miles northwest of the city of Arcata) was purchased by Caltrans for the purpose of constructing compensatory wetland mitigation for offsetting impacts to jurisdictional wetlands associated with the Eureka-Arcata Route 101 Corridor Improvement Project. The proposed mitigation project would convert existing upland and seasonal freshwater wetland habitat on the Lanphere parcel to tidal and subtidal habitat, while creating, restoring, and enhancing freshwater and forested wetlands.
Caltrans is currently working with a consultant to refine the design and create a mitigation and monitoring plan (MMP). Agency coordination and consultations are ongoing. The Draft MMP is proposed for Agency review and submittal November 2018. Caltrans is currently investigating other parcels to meet the State of California “No Net Loss” policy.
