Describe the use planned for the site, any development plans after acquisition (including passive development), characteristics of the site which demonstrate that it is well-suited to the proposed use, and plans for any structures currently on the site. If applicable, describe how the site relates to the larger project, and whether the project has a plan, schedule and funding dedicated to its completion. Please also list any important milestones for the project or critical dates, e.g. grant deadlines. List the dates and explain their importance. Please attach a spreadsheet of the budget. The Big Quilcene - Moon Valley Reach Project represents the initial phase of a multi-phase effort to restore floodplain connectivity as well as salmon spawning and rearing habitat to a nearly 0.8-mile segment of the Big Quilcene River below the Hwy 101 Bridge. Recently, two adjacent landowners (about 107 acres) have expressed an interest in selling their properties for the purpose of restoration and 3
4 conservation, presenting a tremendous opportunity to address underlying causes of major sediment, flooding, and habitat issues within this reach and further downstream. Funds from this application to the Jefferson County Conservation Futures Fund will contribute to the purchase price of four parcels, or the purchase price of the Whittaker parcel and an (expanded) conservation easement on the three Baclawski parcels, and will serve to make the project area eligible to apply for O & M funds in the future. The topography in this area is essentially level, extensive floodplain with steep banks to the south side of the river and at the northern extent of the properties. The surrounding land use is forestry and rural residential. The Hwy 101 bridge over the Quilcene River and the Quilcene National Fish Hatchery are located upstream of the project area. A 25 DFW access easement and trail, used largely during the fishing season, runs through three of the four subject parcels along the north bank of the river and ultimately to the community of Quilcene in the vicinity of the county s Riverside Park. A parking area to serve this access route is located just upstream of the Hwy 101 bridge. Lawn and pasture grasses occupy a large proportion of the project area. The riparian zone is native conifer forest along the south bank, where steep slopes have prevented development of the land. Along the north bank, where the historical land use is agriculture, the riparian buffer is a mix of native trees of different stages of maturity and areas dominated by noxious weeds. In the Moon Valley Reach, the Big Quilcene River was moved, straightened and diked to support agricultural use of the floodplain. As a result of the altered stream hydraulics and extensive diking along the north bank, the channel is now incised to a depth of up to ten feet. The artificially steep stream gradient, and scouring force of higher flood velocities, has resulted in a coarse cobble/boulder streambed lacking spawning gravels suitable for ESA-listed summer chum salmon and contributed to sediment aggradation problems downstream in Quilcene and beyond the river mouth where an extensive delta cone of sediment has formed. Off-channel rearing habitat is largely absent despite the addition of engineered logjams. These provide some habitat benefits but not at the scale needed. Loss of channel complexity and loss of riparian forests are major limiting factors for ESA-listed summer chum salmon in this reach. The restoration phase will be designed to address the underlying causes of habitat loss and will natural geomorphic and hydrologic processes such as channel migration and floodplain sediment deposition and storage. The Whittaker parcel is a small farm and residential property with three houses and an additional fourth partly-developed homesite. The property contains fenced pasture, a small tree farm, and several outbuildings as well as a Group B water supply. The Baclawski property was formally pasture and forestland. It now includes protected open space, a young fruit and nut orchard, and forest available for silviculture. A conservation easement held by the Jefferson Land Trust on approximately 18 acres of land spanning the river includes 1,750 of frontage on the north bank and 575 on the south bank. The overarching goal of the Moon Valley Reach Project is to acquire the subject properties (or property rights) necessary to enable restoration of natural floodplain processes. The sponsor and applicant will collaborate with WDFW, Jefferson Land Trust, Skokomish Tribe, The Nature Conservancy and community stakeholders and trustees who are already actively engaged in planning the restoration of the lower mile of the Big Quilcene River. This section of the Big Quilcene River has been identified as a target for restoration in the Summer Chum Recovery Plan and in the Hood Canal Coordinating Council's Sum 3-Year Work Program Specifically, restoration and protection of freshwater reaches in the lower watershed is identified as the highest priority action for summer chum recovery in the Big Quilcene River, with habitat diversity, channel stability, flow moderation, and 4
5 sediment load identified as key features for restoration The project will allow for improved salmon habitat in the lower watershed and estuary and contribute to restoration efforts already underway there by attenuating floods, reducing downstream sediment transport, and contributing to temperature and flow regulation. Restoration and protection of the Moon Valley floodplain will contribute to improved water quality, better rearing conditions for juvenile salmon, and expanded habitat for other wildlife (including birds and beavers), and an enhanced trail system and outdoor experiences for students, recreationists and visitors in Quilcene. Matching funds were recently sought by HCSEG from the Department of Ecology s National Estuary Program (NEP) Watershed Protection and Restoration Grants (response is pending). HCSEG and Jefferson County are also pursuing salmon recovery grants through the Hood Canal Coordinating Council Lead Entity for Salmon Recovery. A Letter of Intent in partnership with HCSEG has been submitted and the next application deadline is March 25, Estimate costs below, including the estimated or appraised value of the propert(ies) or property right(s) to be acquired, even if Conservation Futures funds will only cover a portion of the total project cost. In the case of projects involving multiple acquisitions, please break out appraisals and estimated acquisition costs by parcel. a. Estimated or Appraised Value of Propert(ies) to be Acquired: $524,791 b. Total Estimated Acquisition-related Cost (see Conservation Futures Manual for eligible costs): $78,000 c.

7 NOTE: Matching funds are strongly recommended and a higher rating will be assigned to those projects that guarantee additional resources for acquisition. Donation of property or a property right will be considered as a matching resource. Donation of resources for on-going maintenance or stewardship ( in-kind contributions) are not eligible as a match. 2 a. Sponsoring agency is Xis not prepared to provide long-term stewardship (maintenance, up-keep, etc.) for the proposed project site. b. Describe any existing programs or future plans for stewardship of the property, including the nature and extent of the commitment of resources to carry out the stewardship plan. Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group will hold the properties and steward them, in partnership with Jefferson County, utilizing grant funds until all phases of restoration are completed. The Skokomish Tribe has expressed interest in taking title post-restoration and in providing long-term stewardship consistent with existing conservation and public access easements and state grant requirements (Deed of Right). The opportunity to apply for conservation futures operations and maintenance funds in the future, in partnership with an eligible sponsor, may become important in the event of unavoidable impacts to the site from public use or act of nature. Jefferson Land Trust stewards the existing conservation easement on the Baclawski parcels (and in partnership with the landowner through an approved management plan) and would be closely involved if the conservation easement on the Baclawski property is expanded or, otherwise, requires amendment. 3 a. Describe the sponsoring agency s previous or on-going stewardship experience. Jefferson County has acquired, restored and/or stewards floodplain properties on the Dosewallips, Duckabush and Big Quilcene River (for the purpose of salmon recovery) in coordination with partner agencies and organizations. The Skokomish Tribe owns property to the south of the river located adjacent to the project area. The tribe has acquired, restored and stewards numerous additional properties in the Skokomish Watershed and elsewhere along the Big Quilcene River. b. Has the sponsor and/or applicant of this project been involved in other projects previously approved for Conservation Futures funding? No, neither the sponsor nor applicant has been involved in a project previously approved for Conservation Futures funds. X Yes, the sponsor and/or applicant for this project has been involved in a project previously approved for Conservation Futures funds. Please provide details: Jefferson County acquired parcels in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor through a conservation futures application sponsored by JLT and was a partner in acquiring a forested parcel at the entrance to Port Townsend. In 2013, the County partnered with Jefferson Land Trust on a successful application to acquire property and property rights on the Duckabush floodplain. This is the first time that the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group has been in the role of applicant. 4 a. Property _X_can cannot feasibly be acquired in a timely fashion with available resources. b. Necessary commitments and agreements are _X_are not in place. c. All parties are X are not in agreement on the cost of acquisition. If not to any of the above, please explain below. Landowner acknowledgement forms are signed but grant funds are needed prior to ordering appraisals and beginning the negotiation process. 7

Please describe below, including the site s importance to the plan. Please reference the website of the plan if available or include the plan with this application. X complements an adopted open space or conservation plan, but is not specifically identified. Please describe below, and describe how the proposed acquisition is consistent with the plan. The lower river is identified in local salmon recovery chapter Guidance for Prioritization (see This specific project has also been submitted for inclusion the 2016 HCCCLE 4-year Work Plan. The lower river is identified in Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) implementation plan (or through consultation with TMDL lead for Ecology) as a high priority for protection and/or restoration of riparian cover. The lower river is identified in Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) planning process (or through consultation with PIC leads) as a high priority for protection and/or restoration and protection and/or restoration of riparian cover can contribute to stated goals for shellfish beds. is a stand-alone project. 6. Conservation Opportunity or Threat: a. The proposed acquisition site _X_does does not provide a conservation or preservation opportunity which would otherwise be lost or threatened. b. If applicable, please carefully describe the nature and immediacy of the opportunity or threat, and any unique qualities about the site. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a highly significant stretch of the Big Quilcene River for comprehensive conservation and restoration. The acquisition phase is the first phase of a project that will result in multiple positive benefits and contribute significantly to the productivity of the Big Quilcene River over all. Opportunities to work with adjacent willing sellers of such high-potential properties to help reverse mistakes of the past on a large scale are very rare. 7. The proposed acquisition: X provides habitat for State of Washington Priority Habitat and/or State or Federal Threatened, Endangered or Sensitive species. X provides habitat for a variety of native flora or fauna species. X contributes to an existing or future wildlife corridor or migration route. If affirmative in any of the above, please describe and list the Priority Habitat(s) and Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive species below, and cite or provide documentation of species use. 1 ESA-listed species utilizing the Big Quilcene River include: Hood Canal Summer Chum Hood Canal Fall Chum Puget Sound Summer and Winter Steelhead Documentation of species use documented at: ESA-listed spotted owls as well as bald eagles, harlequin ducks and cutthroat trout occur in the area. These acquisitions will enhance the riparian corridor linking Quilcene and the Whittaker property. 1 See, for example,
9 8 a. Describe the extent and nature of current and planned agricultural use of the proposed acquisition, including any anticipated changes to that use once the property, or property right, is acquired with Conservation Futures funds. No agricultural uses are planned for either property as part of this project. Topsoil was removed from portions of the Baclawski parcels by a previous owner, and efforts to establish a fruit and nut orchard on that property have met challenges due to the drought-prone, rocky character of the remaining soil. Agriculture is largely incompatible with a naturally-functioning Big Quilcene River floodplain as evidenced by efforts of the past to move, straighten and dike the river channel and especially in light of the changing hydrologic regime of higher flood flows predicted by climate models.this project is the first step in recreating the historic floodway of the Big Quilcene River. It will benefit habitat for ESA-listed salmon while lessening flood impacts in Quilcene, improving forest health and water quality, restoring native soils, improving hydrologic and geomorphic function, promoting carbon sequestration, and enhancing aquifer recharge and summertime flows. b. Describe any participation by the current property owner in any other agricultural land conservation programs that enhance wildlife habitat including the program and nature of the involvement N/A c. Is the owner implementing an approved farm plan, or equivalent system of management practices, that is sufficient to meet federal and state standards for soils and water quality on the farm? No 9. a. Describe how the proposed acquisition benefits primarily a local area X broad county area including the area served, the nature of the benefit, the jurisdictions involved, and the populations served. This project, as a high priority restoration goal for the Big Quilcene River, will support the productivity of the lower river with benefits cascading into the estuary and Hood Canal. It is hoped that this project, in conjunction with a separate on-going floodplain restoration program in the lower mile of the river including the community of Quilcene (in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, HCSEG, the County, the Skokomish and Jamestown S Klallam Tribes and benefitting from the input of multiple other stakeholders and trustees) will lead to additional intervening acquisitions and/or conservation easements to ultimately lead to the best possible restoration outcomes ecologically, for salmon, and also to meet the needs of the community for recreation, educational opportunities and economic vitality. b. Is the project located in an area that is under-represented by CF funded Projects? Areas that Conservation Futures has not been able to support to date include Marrowstone Island, Toandos Peninsula, Dosewallips Valley, Bolton Peninsula, and the West End. No 10. Describe the educational or interpretive opportunities that exist for providing public access, educational or interpretive displays (signage, kiosks, etc.) on the proposed site, including any plans to provide those improvements and any plans for public accessibility. 2 New trails are planned for the vicinity of Quilcene that could potentially connect with the established WDFW pedestrian corridor or, as the restoration progresses, a new trail or trail network designed for the enjoyment and protection of the restored Moon Valley Reach. 11. The proposed acquisition includes historic or culturally significant resources 3 and 2 The words education and interpretation are interpreted broadly by the CF Committee. 3 Cultural resources means archeological and historic sites and artifacts, and traditional religious ceremonial and social uses and activities of affected Indian Tribes and mandatory protections of resources under chapters and RCW. 9
