PERMIT NO.: NWW-2009-489-BOJ

ISSUING OFFICE: Walla Walla Regulatory District Office

NOTE: The term 'you" and its derivatives, as used in this permit, means the permiltee or any futuretransferee. The term "this office" refers to the appropriate district or division office ofthe u.s. ArmyCorps ofEngineers (Corps) having jurisdiction over the permitted activity or the appropriate officialofthai office, acting under the authority a/the commanding officer.

You are authorized to perform work in accordance with the terms and conditions, as specified below:

WORK DESCRIPTION: Discharge an average of 1000 cubic yards of woody debris along the bankfull channel annually. This amount may vary year to year depending upon the spring high flow. Atracked excavator will walk the river channel picking up downed trees and other woody debris withinthe bank full channel and re-depositing this material along the river bank. Cottonwood trees standingon the river bank and leaning 30 degrees or more over the river channel; willow trees standing on theriver bank and leaning 45 degrees or more over the river channel; and beaver damaged trees standingon the river bank may be cut and re-deposited along the bank. Standing trees that are removed wouldbe cut down within a few feet of the ground with the root balls left to maintain bank stability. Woodydebris removed from the river will be placed onto existing woody debris piles, placed into areaspreviously impacted or piled to create new waste piles. Single trees encountered in the channel will becut into tcn foot lengths and left in place where appropriate. An additional 0.5 acres of riparian forestmay be temporarily filled over the five year period as a result of the disposal method.

Implementation of the woody pile reduction mitigation plan consists of a tracked excavator workingfrom the river bed, removing woody material previously placed along the river channel and relocatingthis material to exposed dry river bed locations to be burnt in place. Wood ash would not be recoveredfrom the river bed. This work would occur at the same time as the above described channel cleaningactivities.

THE PROJECT SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED ACCORDING TO THE ENCLOSED PLANS ANDORAWINGS titled "Boise River Flood Control District, drawings I and 2, dated July 2012.

the active channel of the River to areas outside of the active channel. Some of theseareas outside of the active channel may be jurisdK:oonal wetlands adjacent to the river.

Where feasible. trees cut or otherwise removed as described above will be removedfrom the riparian forest and wetlands areas adjacent to the river. In the event that thetrees cannot be removed outside of the riparian forest due to equipment accesslimitations. the material will be utilized to add onto existing habitat enhancementstructures for the upland game and non-game wildlife species that inhabit the area.

In locations where an isolated tree is removed from the channel and removal from theadjacent riparian forest is not feasible, the stem will be cut into lengths of 10 feet or lessand the pieces may be scattered on lands above the OHWM.

Block 258. Mealure. Taken to Avoid, Minimize, Compen.ate for Impacts to Waters of theU.S., Including Wetlands

The river maintenance project is proposed to be completed during the low water periodof the water year (350 cfs or less at Glenwood). By working during this period, activitiesthat may have an effect on turbidity or other water pollution probfems are anticipated tobe minimal. Further, the maintenance is anticipated to help stabilize the banks of theBoise River, improve channel stability and decrease the risk during high water forturbidity or other problems associated with high water flows.

Where practical. wetlands will be avoided by equipment and for placement ofconcentrations of woody debris removed from the river channel.

Where practical, work will be conduded from the banks of the river or on dry gravel bars.Operating equipment in the active channel will be minimiZed to the extent feasible.

Existing routes will serve as accesses to conduct maintenance activities. No newaccess routes or new gravel roads are anticipated to be constructed.

Block 25b. Proposed Mttlgatlon PlanThe centerpiece of the mitigation plan under this application will be a net 20-percentoverall reduction in the existing inventory of Class A and B piles within FCD10.According to FCD10 records. at the date of application there are approximately 215Class A and B piles wfthin the District. A detailed description of each HES is included inthe attached "Boise River Flood Control District #10 Habitat Piles" document.

A 2G-percent reduction over 5 years equates to the removal of 43 piles. Where feasible.FCD10 emphasize the removal of the largest Class A piles over Class B piles.

As mitigation fO( the relocation of material from within the active river channel to adjacentregulated areas along the river corridor. FCD10 will remove a commensurate volume ofmaterial by buming, chipping. hauling Of otherwise removing existing HES from withinthe riparian COrridOf. The net 2G-perc:ent reduction (43 piles) over 5 years serves as acommensurate volume reduction over the term of the permit. Removal activities on landmay occur throughout the year.

Where allowed, during the winter operations. FCD10 anticipates moving a number ofexisting debris piles from the riparian forest and burning the material on exposed gravelbars atong the river. This activity will be conducted in accordance with applicable IDEO

FC01G-404_SCAP·2012RIVERMAlHlENANCEAPPuCAnOHSuPP-'/ER5.00cx

FC010, Joint Application for Permits, Supplemental InformationJuly 2. 2012Page 5 of 5

regulations. Annually, ash remaining after burning operations will be buried with localriver cobble, prior to the annual runoff season. Unburned material will be hauled fromthe exposed gravel bars prior to the annual runoff season.

A number of piles presently exist that can only be reached either by constructing anaccess road through the existing riparian forest or directly from the river channel, belowthe OHWM. Provided that an approval from IDEa is received to allow burning of thesepiles in place, piles'Nith poor access woukt also be subject to removal under thisapplication. Only piles that are readily accessible through minimal resource disturbanceare contemplated to be removed as mitigation under this application.

The proposed activity is anticipated to improve the safety along the Boise River forrecreational users, as ·strainers· and the number other river risks can be reduced.Removal of trees in the river channel and those that appear to be in imminent danger offalling into the channel will eliminate obstacles that could pose a threat to recreationalusers (i.e. fishermen, hunters, etc.) and wi"U eliminate potential ·strainers- from the waterthat can continue to coilect more trees and other floating objects. Overall, the generalsafety for recreational users should be improved as mitigation activities are com~ted.

FC010 may need to revisit HES sites, following removal of piles and may need to utilizethese same sites for Mure temporary storage of river debris. FC010 will maintain aninventory of these sites for future temporary storage and mitigation use. Piles that havebeen previously burned are inventoried in the attached "Boise River Flood ControlDistrict #10 Habitat Piles" document.

Prior to commencing maintenance activities, FCD10 wilt also submit Flood PlainDevelopment Permit applications to the various jurisdictions that will be affected by thispermit. FC010 INiIl only operate within those jurisdtctions that provide approved FloodPlain Development Permits. The approval entities include: Ada and Canyon Counties,Boise City, Garden City, Eagle. Star, Middleton and Caldwell.

On an annual basis, FCD10 will summarize maintenance activities of the prior yearaccomplished under the permit and wilt provide the information to the various affectedjurisdictions.
