Under Washington State Shoreline Management Act Guidelines [WAC 173 -26- 186(8) & 201(2)(c)], all new development, activities and uses must meet the standard of no net loss of ecological functions and shoreline processes. To ensure the standard of no net loss is met, any adverse impacts from new, repaired, or replaced development must be mitigated in accordance with the Mitigation Sequence (see Page 2) described in WAC 173- 26- 201((2)(e). When there are permanent impacts not addressed in sequence number 2, 3, or 4 the applicant must provide mitigation for the remaining adverse impacts to meet the no net loss standard. The City's Shoreline Management Program (SMP) regulations require an applicant submit a site - specific analysis to demonstrate that the no net loss standard has been met. A site- specific analysis is a technical report that identifies existing conditions and ecological functions, impacts from the project, and proposed mitigation. To give homeowners a low cost alternative for meeting the no net loss standard, this manual was developed and provides mitigation for common types of SFR development as an alternative to submitting a site - specific analysis. This manual provides City requirements for single family residences when mitigating construction, repair or replacement of SFR primary and accessory structures. Subdivisions, including short plats and other development, and uses or activities not associated with SFR development, are required to provide a site- specific analysis in accordance with the SMP Section 4.1.2 Environmental Impacts. Single Family- Residence Shoreline Mitigation 1vIMIL al A homeowner can use this shoreline mitigation manual if: the SFR is not part of a new subdivision application; and • the proposed project is located within a qualifying site (see below); and the proposed project is listed among the development and structure types and maximum size constraints covered by this guidance (shown in Table 1). What sites qualify for this approach? Sites which qualify for this manual are SFR shoreline parcels that are not adjacent to a marsh or a lagoon. Marshes and lagoons are a critical habitat feature for many protected species and therefore development proposals affecting these sites require a higher level of examination. Proposed development on SFR sites with an adjacent marsh or lagoon must complete a site specific analysis that complies with the requirements of SMP Section 4.1.2, Environmental Impacts, and /or Appendix B, Critical Areas. Washington State Shoreline Management Act Guidelines: lhttp: / /www.ecy.wa.gov /programs /sea /sma/ guide] ines /downloads /Draft_2002_SMP_Rule. pdf What is mitigation? Mitigation is the process of avoiding, limiting, reducing, or eliminating the adverse 1 environmental impacts of a project over time, and ultimately compensating for impacts that remain. Mitigation for impacts follows a specific sequence described in WAC 173- 26- 201((2)(e) as follows: 1. Avoid the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; 2. Minimize impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; 3. Rectify the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; 4. Reduce or eliminate the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; 5. Compensate for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and 6. Mon Ito r the impact and the mitigation activities and take appropriate corrective measures as needed. New in -water or overwater structures (such as shoreline stabilization construction or docks) are not covered by this guidance. Applications for new in- water or overwater development must submit a site - specific analysis in accordance with the City's SMP. An applicant must also obtain a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) for any new in -water or overwater structure as well as for a repair or replacement of an existing structure. Mitigation is typically required by those agencies as well, however the City may determine that mitigation and permit conditions required by federal and state agencies are sufficient to meet City requirements according to provisions in the SMP. Note that the SMP prohibits new overwater covered moorage in the marine environment. shoreline with native vegetation. 4-15 Mitigation activities prescribed for the qualifying 'Ihe mitigation strategies identified in this types of construction in this document are selected manual are for environmental impacts that to directly compensate for environmental impacts cannot reasonably be avoided (steps 2 through 6 of this sequence). that are not prevented through careful site design, structure design or use of best practices. Examples of best practices are low impact development methods for managing stormwater, retractable docks or beach nourishment for shoreline stabilization. For example, permanent clearing of vegetation is mitigated by replanting vegetation, and any permitted fill placed below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) is mitigated by removing fill already located below the OHWM. Single Family Residence shoreline Mitigation Manua] Mitigation is first required to be conducted on the same parcel (on site) as the proposed construction unless impractical. In most cases, more mitigation is required when it will occur on a different parcel (of} site). These measures ensure that mitigation is clearly linked to the type and location of impact the development would have on the shoreline. This approach also supports the City's responsibility to ensure there is no net loss of shoreline functions. In some cases, onsite mitigation may not be feasible or offsite mitigation may be preferred based on shoreline physical processes. In either case, check with City of Bainbridge Island Planning and Community Development Department for preferred locations recommended by the City's Shoreline Restoration Plan or for other guidance related to acceptable offsite mitigation. In limited cases, a reduction in mitigation requirements for offsite compensatory mitigation may be allowed if the Administrator determines a greater ecological benefit is achieved at the proposed location. Bainbridge Island shoreline and dock, Single Family Residence Shoreline Mitigation Manual s. •, >. Homes near this marsh would not quality for the mitigation approach in this manual. What kinds of SFR development qualify for this guidance? SFR development that qualify for this guidance includes: a new home, accessory structure (to existing SFR), and expansion, replacement, and repair of a SFR or accessory structure. Within these SFR development categories, structures that qualify must be within specific size constraints. The types of structures and size constraints for use of this manual are provided in Table 1. Examples include construction of a new home no larger than 4000 ft'-; an accessory structure to an existing home, such as a detached garage no larger than 580 ft'-, a patio no larger than 120 ft'; stairs to the beach between 50 ft2 and 300 ft2 (mitigation is not required for stairs less than 50 ft'-) ; remodel of an existing structure; and replacement or repair of shoreline structures such as a bulkhead, stairs or a dock. Note that the listed size constraints are not the maximum permitted by City regulations, but are the maximum for which this manual can be used to determine appropriate mitigation without a site- specific study. Development of each of these structures typically results in one or more of the following shoreline and nearshore disturbances that require mitigation: 1) vegetation is cleared, 2) new impervious surface is created, 3) fill is placed below the OHWM or 4) aquatic habitat is permanently disturbed. Table 1 identifies of these disturbances may apply based on your proposed development. To use Table 1: 1 Select the category of development (new, accessory etc.) that applies to your project fi-om the first column. 2 Select the type of structure from the second column. 3 Check to make sure your proposed development is within the maximum size constraints for that structure. If they are not, you will need a site- specific analysis. 4 Review the impacts requiring mitigation and identify those that apply to your project. 5 For each impact requiring mitigation, go to the corresponding section under Mitigation Requirements for a description of what is required.

Specific requirements for footprint and impact reduction are explained in the section called Mitigation Exemption for Repair or Replacement of Overivater Sh,uctures. Single Family Residence Shoreline Mitigation Manual Mitigation Requirements Review each section that follows as it pertains to your project's environmental impacts. Vegetation is Cleared Shoreline vegetation is considered important to supporting the ecological functions found in the nearshore. Vegetation along the shoreline at minimum infiltrates stormwater, and can provide large woody debris, bank stability, food sources such as detritus and insects for aquatic species, and temperature moderation of the beach and nearshore substrate. Multistoried vegetation can provide an overhanging, complex network of branches, trunks, stems and roots that also moderate nearshore wave energy. Native vegetation is preferred for shorelines because native species are better adapted to local physical conditions such as soil, geology, and climate and therefore require less maintenance, are resistant to most pests and diseases, and require little or no irrigation or fertilizers, once established. Thus maintaining native plant species along the shoreline can also have consequent benefits on maintaining water quality. Native vegetation also provides more food sources for native wildlife. Mitigation for vegetation cleared in the shoreline jurisdiction requires replacement with an equivalent or larger area of native multistoried vegetation (includes groundcovers, shrubs) and trees). Areas planted for mitigation are subject to final approval by the Administrator and must be recorded with the County Auditor on a Notice on Title, or other similar document, prior to approval of the project. Areas planted for mitigation are intended to be protected in perpetuity, although future alterations may be allowed with an approved mitigation plan. What best describes the character of the vegetation in the area you will be clearing? Is it predominantly: Mowed grass or lawn? Non- native landscaping? • Native Vegetation? Based on the dominant character of the vegetation that will be cleared and where you intend to plant, different ratios of native vegetation planted area to cleared area are required. These ratios are provided in Mitigation Requirements for Vegetation Clearing. If you intend to plant native vegetation within 30 feet landward of the OHWM (called Zone 1 of the Shoreline Buffer —see Figure 1) the ratios for planting in Zone 1 are lower than if you plant outside of Zone 1. The lower ratio is intended to encourage homeowners to plant in Zone 1 where native vegetation has the greatest effect on nearshore habitat and processes. Ratios are also higher if you are clearing native vegetation, as compared with removing mowed grass or lawn, for the same reason.

Zones related to the shoreline buffer area. What is Native Vegetation? Native vegetation is an assemblage of plants native to Bainbridge Island, which are species that occur or historically occurred on the island based upon the best available scientific and historical documentation. Native vegetation includes a selection of multistoried species (ground covers, shrubs and trees). Acceptable species are listed in Appendix A. Other species may be planted if it can be demonstrated they are native and appropriate to the site conditions. When planting native vegetation for mitigation, you must provide a plan view of the project area showing where clearing will occur and where native vegetation will be planted for mitigation (including species, spacing and plant sizes). Species are to be planted with spacing designed to achieve a minimum 65 percent native vegetation coverage within 10 years within the replanted area. To assist you, a list of native species suitable for the City's shorelines is provided in Appendix A along with planting details showing typical tree, shrub and groundcover spacing and recommended plant sizes. Note that your planting plan may be designed to protect views from your primary SFR. Single Family Residence Shoreline Mitigation Manual 7 Figure 2.

The use of a rain garden for mitigating impervious surface is based on the understanding that rain gardens can help provide the water collection, retention, and infiltration capacity that are lost when vegetated areas are made impervious. The Rain Garden Handbook for Western Washington Homeowners describes how rain- gardens mimic a native forest by collecting, absorbing, and filtering stormwater runoff from rooftops, driveways, patios, and other areas that don't allow water to soak in. To install a rain garden, follow the methods available at www.raingarden.wsu.edu /index.html. There you will find instructions for calculating your drainage area, and locating, designing (sizing), planting and maintaining your rain garden. Local landscape architects, Kitsap County WSU Extension office, Kitsap Count), Conservation District, and the City's Planning and Community Development Department are other resources available for assistance.

If you need to place your rain- garden on or near a landslide hazard area (any slope greater than 15 percent), a letter or report from a qualified licensed geologist orgeotechnical engineer that evaluates the site and your rain garden design must be submitted with your application for review and approval by the Administrator. Figure 3. Rain gardens can help mitigate stormwater runoff from new impervious surfaces. Single Family Residence Shoreline Mitigation Manual Permitted Fill Material is Placed below OHWM Fill placed below the OHWM permanently eliminates aquatic habitat and can interrupt nearshore sediment flow. These factors both eliminate and reduce ecological functions within the area of fill and may adversely affect adjacent shorelines through reduced sediment supply and increased fragmentation of habitat. All shoreline structures or modifications that include placing fill below the OHWM will require an equivalent volume of fill removal from below the OHWM elsewhere for mitigation (Table 2). Typical shoreline structures and modifications that include fill placed below the OHWM include stairs, boathouses, docks and bulkheads. If mitigation for fill removal will occur within the same parcel, the volume removed must be at minimum equal to the volume of fill material placed. If the fill removal occurs on a different parcel, than the volume removed must be two times the volume of fill material placed. See Table 2. This is to encourage mitigation for fill placement at the same location as the environmental impact. Examples of types of fill that may be removed for mitigation include construction debris such as concrete pieces, riprap, creosote logs, pilings, and failing bulkheads. In addition to fill removal, bulkhead repair or replacement will require beach nourishment in addition to fill removal as part of mitigation (Table 2). Beach nourishment differs from fill because it is mobile and permeable, unlike piers, concrete, riprap, or other immobile elements typically associated with nearshore structures. Beach nourishment provides spawning habitat for forage fish species, which are food sources for salmon and other fish species, birds, and marine mammals. While nearshore structures can provide a type of nearshore habitat (for example docks provide holdfasts for barnacles and mussels), these habitats do not improve impaired features of the nearshore ecosystem or support natural geomorphic processes in the way that mobile beach sand can. Removing unused piers can provide shoreline mitigation. Retractable Structures it In many instances structures can be constructed that can be retracted when not in use (for example retractable access stairs or docks). Retractable structures associated with a SFR are exempt from the City's requirement for mitigation for impacts occurring waterward of the OHWM. In addition, ii- the footprint of 1111 below the OHWM is smaller than 10 square feet, the structure is exempt from providing mitigation as the area is considered too small to significantly impact aquatic resources. 10 Single Family Residence Shoreline Mitigation Manual Table 2. Mitigation requirements for fill material placed below the OHWM. A reduced ratio for offsite fill removal may be used In limited instances when the Administrator determines that a greater ecological benefit is obtained at on offsite location than would occur on site. What is beach nourishment? Beach nourishment is where sediment (usually sand) is placed to protect an eroding beach. Leach sediment lost through alongshore drift or erosion is replaced from sources outside of the eroding beach (often an upland source). Nourishment creates "soft" (non - permanent) protection by creating a larger sand reservoir, pushing the shoreline seaward. Beach nourishment can protect beaches and your property, and avoid or minimize the negative effects of bulkheads. How do I provide beach nourishment? A shoreline that has recently undergone beach nourishment. Generally, beach nourishment should be located onsite, waterward of the bulkhead; however nourishment may be located off site if the Administrator determines that a greater ecological benefit is obtained at an offsite location than would occur on site. For example, nourishment will be more effective if it is placed in the up -drift area of a drift cell. Its benefit will be longer lasting and spread over a greater portion of the drift cell. The City can help you determine the best location for beach nourishment. Beach nourishment should cover an area, at minimum, equivalent to the length of the repaired or replaced bulkhead. It should be comprised of mobile sediments suitable for rnearshore forage fish spawning habitat. Beach nourishment material should be comprised of 100 percent WDFW Fish Mix or other material approved by the Administrator.

Aquatic Habitat is Disturbed In -water or overwater structures have the potential to interrupt or negatively affect ecological functions and processes such as shading or eliminating aquatic habitat, increasing predator opportunities, and interrupting nearshore sediment flow and beach formation. Mitigation is required for repair or replacement because impacts continue to occur for the life of the structure. Construction activities related to repair or replacement may also temporarily affect fish and wildlife, water quality, or shoreline processes. New in -water or overwater structures are not covered by this manual. Only repair or replacement of in -water or overwater structures are covered by this manual and they must fall within the size constraints identified in Table 1. Qualifying projects must satisfy the SMP requirements for a repair or replacement and must mitigate for the loss of ecological functions. In -water and overwater repairs and replacements covered by this guidance include bulkheads, boathouses, stairs to the beach, and docks (the components of a dock include ramps, piers and floats, and requirements apply to all components), Note that in -water and overwater repairs and replacements of any structure may require permits from USACE and WDFW, as well as the City. Upon project completion all areas of shoreline disturbed for the repair or replacement should be restored to as near pre - project configuration as possible and replanted with native vegetation appropriate to the site and approved by the City. Exemption from mitigation is provided for repair or replacement of structures which meet certain structure impact reduction provisions (such as narrowing a dock or using grating to increase sunlight penetration). "these are detailed in the section called Mitigation Excinptiort forRepair or Replacement of Overwater Structures. When there is no reduction of the structure, you are required to remove an equivalent or greater area of overwater structure elsewhere within the City; contact the Planning and Community Development Department for more details and appropriate locations. 12 Single Family Residence Shoreline Mitigation MMILKIl Mitigation Exemption for Repair or Replacement of Overwater Structures Replacement of docks or stairs with retractable systems are exempt from City required mitigation for impacts to ecological functions and processes occurring waterward of OHWM. Repairs or replacements that reduce the shading footprint of an existing dock are also exempt. To qualify, any two of the following measures may be used, in accordance with provisions in the SMP: . Replace dock surface with grating or gridding • Reduce dock width, to meet current SMP and USACE requirements Some considerations when planning to repair or replace your dock to avoid mitigation: • Use a mooring buoy instead of repairing or replacing your dock. Replace your fixed dock with a dock that can be retracted when not in use to minimize disturbance to aquatic habitat. • Share a neighbor's dock instead of repairing or replacing yours. • Increase dock height, to meet current SMP, WDFW or USACE recommendations. To avoid mitigation for repairs These alterations must conform to the most or replacements of both fixed or recent design guidance provided by the USACE floating docks, the city requires found in its current Regional General Permit for that both of the following be met: Residential Inland Marine Overwater Structures (Permit Number CENWS- OD- RG- RGP -6) or meet City requirements, whichever standard provides a smaller footprint and greater light penetration. • The dock is no wider than 4 feet for a single 'Ihe Department of Planning and Community use dock and 6 feet for a joint use dock. Development is available to assist with making this determination. Please contact the department if you . Grating or gridding and replacement floats have any questions: must be installed that result in a total open area of a minimum of 30 percent.

A site - specific analysis is a technical report that identifies existing conditions and ecological functions, impacts from the project, and proposed mitigation (if needed). The site - specific analysis must be completed by a qualified professional and submitted with the shoreline application. We encourage you to contact planning staff about the scope and content of the site - specific analysis prior to submitting your application. 1. Project description Describe the what, where, when, who and how of the project, including: • What the project or action is; • Where the project is (refer to attached maps and site plan, include location within shoreline jurisdiction; (e.g.; Zone 1, Zone 2); • When the project is going to take place, time line /implementation schedules; • Who is going to do the project; and How the project will be accomplished, e.g.; bulldozer, pile driver, chain saw, steam roller, etc. If it is multi - phased, describe the what, when, where and how of each phased separately. Identify any best management practices (BMPs) that will be implemented to avoid, reduce, or eliminate adverse effects or that would benefit the shoreline environment. 2. Baseline environmental conditions Describe the physical and biological attributes of the project site (e.g., topography, vegetation, condition and trends, if applicable). Include an inventory of the existing shoreline environment including the physical, chemical and biological elements and an assessment of their condition. Include species and habitat information for fish and wildlife. Provide references to pertinent scientific and technical studies, including but not limited to the Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Report, the Shoreline Restoration Plan and other background studies prepared in support of the SMP. Include an assessment and description of any federal, state, or local special management recommendations which have been developed for wetlands, streams, nearshore species, or habitats located on or within close proximity to the site and their applicability to the project. 3. Impact avoidance and mitigation measures The use of mitigation sequencing is required and essential to determining how the proposal contributes to the no net loss standard and how the proposed intensity of development is necessary for reasonable use of the property. Mitigation sequencing includes the steps taken during project planning and implementation that are meant to find the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative to achieve a project need. Demonstrate the application of required mitigation sequencing with a table or bulleted list of each mitigation action and how the proposal addresses it: 1. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; 2. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts; 3. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment; 4. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; 5. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and 6. Monitoring the impact and the compensation project and taking appropriate corrective measures. Include a description and evaluation of anticipated effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures, which mitigate the impacts of the project to ensure no net loss of shoreline ecological functions, values, and proposed success criteria. 4. Impacts of Site Development Provide an analysis documenting the project's unavoidable impacts and their effect on shoreline ecological functions and processes (including lost time when functions are not being performed) including, but not limited to: noise, dust, vegetation removal and /or disturbance, new impervious surface area, placement of fill below the ordinary high water mark, aquatic habitat disturbance (shading or eliminating, increasing predator opportunities, interrupting nearshore sediment flow and beach formation). 5. Mitigation Plan When compensatory mitigation is required because of identified unavoidable impacts, the site - specific analysis must include a mitigation plan. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: • A summary of mitigation goals and objectives; • A planting plan including plant species, quantities and sizes; planting season or timing; • Other drawings (e.g.; cross - sections) to illustrate mitigation measures (e.g.; rain garden, removal of fill, etc.); • Performance standards — identify success criteria; compare functions lost and gained; describe anticipated parameter changes; • Use of and reference to pertinent scientific and technical studies, including but not limited to the Shoreline Inventory and Characterization Report, the Shoreline Restoration Plan and other background studies prepared in support of the SMP; • A monitoring plan (including maintenance plan and schedule) for a minimum duration of five years. Monitoring performance standards must be sufficient to estimate the project's impact on identified ecological functions. The monitoring plan must also include a contingency measures and maintenance surety; • A performance bond or other security to assure that mitigation work is completed (unless mitigation work is completed prior to final occupancy); A maintenance bond to ensure mitigation meets performance objectives. Once implemented, you will need to provide a maintenance bond for the duration of the monitoring period (a minimum duration of 5 years); and An assurance (through a permanent easement and /or notice to title) that the mitigation area will be protected in perpetuity.
