Exhibit D SMP Update | Comment Matrix Page 10 of 15 SMP in accordance with these publications. 17B.05.050 Elizabeth Torrey, WDFW 1/5/2021 We request that you amend the following section as indicated: 17B.05.050 4d: ...Where the hazard is not immediately apparent to the Administrator, the Administrator may require the applicant to submit a hazard tree determination report prepared by a qualified arborist or forester. The Administrator may require the applicant to provide mitigation for loss of ecosystem function caused by tree removal. Mitigation could include dropping the tree in the shoreline area or by "topping" the tree to provide wildlife value as a standing snag. The proposed amendment is not required under the SMA, therefore staff is not recommending approval of this proposed change. 17B.06.180 Elizabeth Torrey, WDFW 1/5/2021 We request that you add the following language as indicated: 17B.06.l80 b.l3: All water crossing structures in the shoreline environment are required to obtain a hydraulic project approval (HPA) from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and follow the 2013 Water Crossing Design Guidelines or other similar approved guidance. An HPA permit is a WDFW permit for hydraulic projects in or near state waters. It is not a requirement under the SMA. Additionally, the scope of this periodic review does not allow staff the resources to investigate the 2013 Water Crossing Design Guidelines. Staff does not recommend approval of this proposed change. 17B.07.030 Elizabeth Torrey, WDFW 1/5/2021 We request that you strike the following sections as indicated: 17B.07.030 lq iv: This section should be deleted, as Kittitas County does not have any saltwater waterbodies which possess kelp or eelgrass beds.
