• Civil3D base map of the project area TASK 3 — Agency Coordination Related to JARPA Submittal 1. Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (DARPA) preparation and submittal is included as part of a separate AIP grant for Advanced Engineering for NEPA Analysis (ELN 3-53-0026-015-2020), however this task is related to coordination of and attending a site visit (either in person or virtual, if necessary) in which the consultant will meet permitting agencies (US Army Corps of Engineers, Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife, and Kittitas County Planning Dept) on-site to discuss the mitigation concept, if the agencies are able and willing to do so. DELIVERABLES: • One site visit/meeting, at the Airport, to meet permitting agencies and walk the proposed area of mitigation, in conjunction with the JARPA submittal. • Site visit meeting agenda and meeting minutes. TASK 4 — Critical Area Report Update 1. A Critical Areas Report (CAR) was assembled as part of the EA project under a separate AIP grant (ELN 3-53- 0026-013-2018). The CAR was assembled with reference to Kittitas County Critical Areas Ordinance, which was updated during the later stages of the EA project. This task involves the updating of the CAR to reflect the current version of the Kittitas County Critical Areas Ordinance, for use in permitting related to the wetland and stream mitigation project. 2. This task will also address Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife's comments on the CAR and proposed mitigation that was received during the EA phase. 3. It is anticipated that there will be two rounds of review of the CAR, one by the Airport and one by Kittitas County Community Development. DELIVERABLES: • An updated Critical Areas Report, based on current Kittitas County Critical Areas Ordinance. TASK 5— Mitigation Plan o This task includes the production of a Compensatory Mitigation Plan that reflects the current version of the Kittitas County Critical Areas Ordinance, to address impacts to regulated ecological critical areas by the project. o An initial assessment of the viability and justification for on-site wetland mitigation was conducted as part of the EA. This information was described in a memo titled Justification for Wetland Mitigation at Bowers Field (ELN) dated December 9, 2021 written by Jacobs Engineering for Kittitas County. and the information and mitigation concept presented in this memo will be utilized and advanced for this Mitigation Plan. o It is anticipated that there will be two rounds of review of the Mitigation Plan, one by the Airport and one by Kittitas County Community Development. o It is anticipated that there will be a virtual meeting with Kittitas County Community Development Services to confirm the proposed mitigation ratios and buffer mitigation requirements.
