Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update City of Forks June, 2011 Rebekah Gentry Olympic Natural Resources Center

Introduction ► Progress to date ► Today: Review proposed changes relevant to Forks ► We want your input  Corrections to ICR information  Views regarding potential changes  Website access to ICR, Preliminary Elements Reports, & maps

Input Needed ► Focus on Certain Reaches  Bogachiel (Mainstem, Mill Creek) ► Presentation includes all new mainstem breaks although most outside FUGA  Calawah/Sitkum (Mainstem in UGA, Elk 10) ► Presentation includes ELK 20 & Sitkum changes although outside FUGA

Bogachiel System ► Gentle grades, wide meanders, wide floodplain, active channel migration ► 86.2% Closed canopy; 10.1% other vegetation; 3.6% non-forest ► FUGA portion ~1 mile; rural light residential in places, but most lands zoned in timberlands ► Problems: High temperatures, poor LWD, channel incision ► Healthy salmon stocks, good public access

Bogachiel Reaches: Changes to Consider ► Mainstem ► MILL

BOGACHIEL 10: Proposed New Reach ► Active channel migration and erosion zone ► Key spawning habitat ► Riparian cover:  83.6% closed canopy  13.8% other veg  2.7% non-forest ► Current: rural ► Proposed: conservancy

BOGACHIEL 20: Proposed New Reach ► Light residential & forestry ► Riparian cover:  85.9% Closed canopy  10.3% other veg  3.9% non-forest ► Current: rural ► Retain Rural

BOGACHIEL 30: Proposed New Reach ► Current: rural ► Proposed: conservancy ► FUGA segment part of new reach ► Active channel migration and wide floodplain ► Forestry, light residential in UGA

 Does “Conservancy” designation in UGA make sense?  Growth directed in UGA  Consider a new category— ”Scenic Residential” for east shoreline?

BOGACHIEL 30: Proposed New Reach– Upstream portion Meander hazard FEMA Flood zone

BOGACHIEL 30: Proposed New Reach– Upstream portion ► Residential on side of meander & flood zone ► Forestlands on other

BOGACHIEL 40: Proposed New Reach ► Light residential & forestry ► Riparian cover:  92.5% closed canopy  4.2% other veg  3.3% non-forest ► Current: Rural ► Retain Rural

Meander hazard FEMA Flood zone BOGACHIEL 40: Proposed New Reach (Closeup on next slide)

Meander hazard FEMA Flood zone BOGACHIEL 40: Proposed New Reach (Closeup on next slide)

► Residential on west shoreline – meander & flood zone ► Residential & forestlands on east shoreline – larger meander & flood zone

MILL Creek ► Wide floodplain ► Potential wetlands ► 91.8% closed canopy; 8.2% non-forest ► Coho, fall chinook, chum winter steelhead spawning ► Private lands throughout ► 2 segments in Forks UGA: [~0 -- RM.1] & [~RM ] ► Zoning: URL & RW5 -- Low density residential ► Land use outside FUGA: commercial timber ► Proposed: New category– use & protection-- “scenic residential”

Calawah/Sitkum

Calawah/Sitkum ► Most of system flows through ONF lands no longer intensively logged ► 1 mile flows through FUGA: currently rural designation for most ► Salmon runs are healthy ► Elk Creek, Sitkum, & North Fork sub-basins studied by WSC ► Key spawning and rearing habitat ► Riparian: 83.4% closed canopy; 15.2% other natural vegetation, and 4.5% non-forest

Calawah/Sitkum Key Reaches ► CALAWAH 20– Oxbow area inside FUGA focus ► ELK 10 – Boundary change & Conservancy proposed ► ELK 20 – Boundary change & Natural Designation Proposed ► Sitkum, NF Sitkum, Rainbow & Lost– Natural Designation proposed

CALAWAH 20 ► Oxbow-- wide floodplain, meander zone ► Rural designation ► Landowner questions data, provides study ► No change, but protection if needed

ELK 10 & 20– closeups next slides

ELK 10 Closeup CA ► Landslide and FEMA flood zone ► Current- Rural ► WSC proposal– Conservancy  Based on recent studies of value to coho & trout ► Move upstream boundary to UGA boundary ► Locals oppose & question data ► New designation category?  “Scenic residential?”

ELK 20 ► FEMA flood zone ► Owned by Land Trust ► WSC proposed- Break change & natural designation ► Based recent studies of value to coho & trout ► Move upstream boundary to UGA boundary ► No opposition voiced by locals

ELK 10 & 20 Zoning

Sitkum, NF Sitkum, Rainbow & Lost ► Riparian:  92.7% closed canopy;  7.1% other natural vegetation, and  0.1% non-forest ► Federal ownership ► Much of landscape in old growth– late successional reserve status ► WSC proposed Natural designation ► No local opposition voiced ► May offset some loosening of restrictions
