NEP FUNDING BACKGROUND In October 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) solicited a Request for Proposals to implement priority work consistent with the 2009 Action Agenda for the protection and restoration of Puget Sound. EPA solicited proposals from applicants that would serve as a Lead Organization (LO) for one of four areas of emphasis. In January 2011, Washington State agencies were selected as LOs, to coordinate six-year efforts to develop and implement strategies in four areas of emphasis: Watershed protection and restoration (LOs — Departments of Ecology and Commerce) • Marine and nearshore protection and restoration (LOs — Departments of Fish & Wildlife and Natural Resources) • Toxics and nutrients prevention, reduction and control (LO — Department of Ecology) • Pathogen prevention, reduction, and control (LOs — Departments of Health and Ecology). Page 4 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHED PROTECTION AND RESTORATION GRANT #G1400022 PERRINVILLE CREEK STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT For the Watershed grant, EPA allocated just over $14 million for the first three years of the grant. Subsequent funding is in part dependent on demonstration by the selected LOs to EPA and Congress that funds can be expeditiously and appropriately expended with significant measureable results. The LO work is being coordinated with EPA and PSP and is an important part of the Action Agenda update process. PART III. PROJECT OVERVIEW The primary goal of this project is to reduce flows in Perrinville Creek, a tributary to Puget Sound, by reducing stormwater runoff. The RECIPIENT will develop a plan to accomplish this goal through implementation of low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs) to the extent feasible, other stormwater BMPs, and stream stabilization in Perrinville Creek. A hydrologic model will be developed to characterize existing conditions and assess performance of alternative future scenarios. Future scenarios will include feasible and readily implementable infiltration and other flow control stormwater BMPs and water quality treatment BMPs. Geotechnical investigations in the basin will be completed to improve model simulation of existing and proposed stormwater BMPs. A high priority project or set of projects identified through the basin analysis will be selected for preliminary design. PART IV. SCOPE OF WORIC TASK 1- PROJECT ADMINiSTRATiON/MANAGEMENT A.

Define the Current Watershed Hydrology The RECIPIENT will utilize the Western Washington Hydrologic Model or other Hydrologic Simulation Program (HSPF)-based model to support the analyses and decision-making involved in this study, to support the eventual design of the fish -passable Talbot Road culvert, and to update the selected retrofit strategy as it progresses. Model selection will consider the types of analyses required (peak discharge rates, flow durations), target conditions selected (see Task 213, below), supporting data available or readily generated, and incorporation of considered LID flow reduction techniques. The model will use precipitation characteristics derived for the watershed location and reviewed against precipitation data from King County's Bragger's Bog station. The model will utilize and update existing available data from the cities of Edmonds and Lynnwood, including model input files, storm drainage system mapping, construction plans for detention/treatment/infiltration facilities, GIS data describing topography, land use, aerial imagery, sensitive/critical areas, and geology. The RECIPIENT will consolidate geologic mapping data from multiple sources and add to the project database. The RECIPIENT will confirm the delineation of the Perrinville Creek watershed and subbasins within the watershed. The subbasins will be characterized for input to the hydrologic model, and the model will be constructed using the selected software. The RECIPIENT will compile available information on the configuration and condition of existing flow control facilities (e.g., detention and infiltration facilities) within the watershed; information on historic sediment removal from traps, the creek, and from the stormwater system (catch basins, detention facilities); flow monitoring; and groundwater/piezometric data at infiltration facilities. The RECIPIENT will review the information on existing detention and infiltration facilities in the watershed, select those facilities having significant effect on subbasin discharges or the overall watershed hydrology, define the selected facilities' performance characteristics, and incorporate those facilities into the hydrologic model. The model will be rein to simulate existing conditions hydrology in the watershed, and will produce data at the discharge from each subbasin and at key locations along Perrinville Creek. Data available for the 2012/2013 wet season collected at the City of Edmonds' (City's) flow gauge installed above the Talbot Road crossing will be used to provide a reasonability check of the hydrologic model results. Deliverables: 1. Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for hydrologic model, including review of flow data. 2. Hydrologic model of existing conditions in the Perrinville Creek watershed. 3. Technical memorandum summarizing data used in the model, model construction, and results. Page 6 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHED PROTECTION AND RESTORATION URANT #G1400022 PERRINVILLE CREED STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT B. Define the Target Conditions in Perrinville Creek The RECIPIENT will quantify the target flow conditions in Perrinville Creek using the following metrics: a) Discharges that enable fish passage at the proposed Talbot Road crossing b) Large storm peak discharges below Talbot Road that are not increased over current conditions with the proposed fish passage crossing installed c) Flow regime metrics (peak discharges, specific flow durations) that limit erosion in the stream channel, and sediment deposition downstream, to acceptable levels The RECIPIENT will use information developed for the Talbot Road crossing project and prior investigations into downstream conditions. To define target flow regime conditions in the stream reaches, RECIPIENT will conduct a geomorphology assessment of conditions along the stream channel from Talbot Road to 76th Avenue West. This assessment will update and expand on prior geomorphic assessments used to characterize channel pavements, locate failures, and determine flow thresholds at various locations where destabilizing scour occurs. RECIPIENT will estimate sediment mobilization through the creek. The RECIPIENT will define target flow regimes assuming the channel is left in its current state, and for an alternative condition whereby the weakest segments of the channel would be stabilized to resist scour. Deliverables: 1. QAPP for collection and review of pebble count data. 2. Technical memorandum of the geomorphic analysis results, presenting findings and recommending target flow conditions in Perrinville Creek. C. Identify Flow Reduction Opportunities Analyzing data obtained through Edmonds' and Lynnwood's GIS, the RECIPIENT will identify areas presenting opportunities to significantly reduce the peak discharge and/or volume of runoff entering Perrinville Creels. Candidate areas will be considered from throughout the watershed, including areas in both Edmonds and Lynnwood. The RECIPIENT will conduct field review of the candidate areas to confirm site characteristics for potential retrofit projects. The following characteristics will be used to identify subdrainages within the basin having potential for significant flow reduction within Perrinville Creek: a) Tributary drainage area b) Subsurface geology c) Location within the basin d) Surficial soils e) Suitable site characteristics (space/grades) Page 7 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHL_ PROTECTION AND RESTORATION, .RANT #G1400022. PERRINVILLE CREEK STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT Categories of flow reduction improvements may include: a) Public right-of-way LID/BMF retrofit b) Modify existing detention facility storage volume or outlet structure c) Surface storage (i.e., parking, street, open space) d) New detention facility e) Facilitate private property LIDBMP retrofit including rain gardens in specific neighborhoods (This grant does not cover pre -design of projects on private properties outside of the jurisdiction's control. f) Modify existing detention facility to infiltrate g) New surface infiltration or UIC facility The RECIPIENT will identify locations and alternative methods to stabilize mainstem and tributary stream channels to better resist mobilization of sediment. Deliverables: 1. Technical memorandum prioritizing subbasins and identifying opportunities for significant flow interception and reduction, and identifying stream channel stabilization locations. D. Geologic/Geotechnical Characterization The RECIPIENT will conduct records research and geologic field investigations at selected locations to assess the infiltration potential of surficiai soils, subsurface formations, and depth to groundwater. Investigations will specifically assess site suitability for infiltration and will be performed in both outwash and till soil areas. Piezometers will be installed in borings to monitor groundwater conditions. At each location site, the RECIPIENT will complete geotechnical characterizations of the subsurface conditions for purposes of informing the preliminary design of retrofit projects under Task 2C. Deliverables: 1. QAPP for geologic/soils data collection and interpretation 2. Technical memorandum summarizing results of records research, geologic/geotechnical investigations, interpretations of infiltrative capacities, and geotechnical design recommendations. E. Evaluate Candidate Flow Reduction Performance The RECIPIENT will conduct a screening workshop with the cities of Edmonds and Lynnwood of the flow reduction opportunities (projects) identified in Task 2C. Prospects having fatal flaws or judged to provide limited flow reduction benefit will be removed from consideration. Utilizing the geologic information developed under Task 2D, the RECIPIENT will apply the BMP Assessment Module in the EPA's System for Urban Stormwater Treatment and Analysis Integration Model (SUSTAIN) to generate BMP performance curves for the various retrofit Page 8 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHED PROTECTION AND RESTORATION GRANT #G1400022 PERRINVILLE CREEK STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT techniques being considered. The BMP performance curves will be used to quantify the potential flow reduction capability for each of the remaining active projects. The BMP performance curves will be applied to the active projects and incorporated into the watershed model, and the model will be run to assess their combined effects at three locations: (1) the head of the Perrinville Creek ravine, (2) a selected mainstem location along the ravine, and (3) below the Talbot Road crossing. The hydrology will also be assessed at the discharge points to the steeper tributaries that enter the Perrinville Creels mainstem below the head of the ravine. Based on the outcomes of this model simulation, the RECIPIENT will perform up to two (2) additional simulations employing different combinations of projects. For each combination of projects simulated, the RECIPIENT will evaluate the resulting hydrologic conditions at the above -noted locations. The RECIPIENT will also document the estimated reduction in duration of discharges exceeding sediment mobilization thresholds. Deliverables: 1. QAPP for use of BMP Assessment Module. 2. Technical memorandum summarizing individual project analyses and estimated hydrologic/sediment mobilization/peak discharge performance of alternative combinations of projects. F. Public Information and Engagement The RECIPIENT will conduct: a) Three (3) briefings to City Council/committee at appropriate stages of the study's completion b) Two (2) meetings with interest groups to discuss the study c) Two (2) neighborhood meetings to discuss the study Deliverable: 1. Presentation materials of the project analyses for Edmonds City Council meetings and neighborhood meetings G. Recommended Flow Reduction Plan The RECIPIENT will compile a report documenting the recommended plan of flow reduction/stabilization projects and detailing the collective hydrologic performance, stream system benefits, costs, risks, and other key features. The technical memoranda developed under prior tasks will be incorporated into either the body of the report or as referenced appendices. The final model simulation will be completed incorporating the recommended projects, both with the existing Talbot Road culvert and the proposed replacement culvert. The flow reduction plan description will include: a) Hydrologic benefits to stream channel stability and discharge conditions b) Anticipated BMP performance of the recommended projects c) Channel stabilization in addition to flow reductions to control sediment mobilization d) Planning level capital design, real estate, and construction costs Page 9 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHE_ 2 ROTECTION AND RESTORATIO1 BRANT #G1400022 PERRINVILLE CREEK STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT e) Maintenance requirements/life cycle costs f) Permitting requirements and implementation timelines g) Potential liabilities such as nuisance, flooding, groundwater surcharge, slope instability The RECIPIENT will develop an implementation plan that prioritizes the projects based on established criteria. The plan may include non-structural recommendations such as a basin -wide flow control standard at lower thresholds and/or with more restrictive discharge requirements than those in the Ecology manual. The plan will include, as appropriate, "early actions" that the RECIPIENT can implement within a relatively short period of time to demonstrate benefits to the creek. The plan will also identify the threshold hydrologic conditions for advancing the Talbot Road culvert construction. Deliverables: 1. Draft Perrinville Creek Stormwater Flow Reduction Retrofit Study report 2. Final Perrinville Creels Stormwater Flow Reduction Retrofit Study report H. Expanded Stream Flow Monitoring The flow monitoring effort above the Talbot Road culvert that was established at the onset of the 2012/2013 wet season will be extended through the 2013/2014 wet season. Two additional flow monitoring stations will be established prior to the 2013/2014 wet season in the watershed to enhance the calibration of the hydrologic model. The two new stations will be situated at the top of the ravine and within one of the tributary drainages. The resulting flow monitoring data will be reviewed for quality and analyzed to identify where any adjustments to the hydrologic model should be made. Where indicated, the hydrologic model will be updated and re -run prior to finalizing the study report under Task 2G. Deliverables: 1. QAPP for flow monitoring data collection and review 2. Technical memorandum summarizing flow monitoring results TASK 3 --- PRE -DESIGN AND REPORT The RECIPIENT will complete the preliminary design of one or more priority retrofit projects selected from the projects identified in the recommended Flow Reduction Retrofit Study report.

Page 30 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHED PROTECTION AND RESTORATION URANT #G1400022 PERRINVILLE CREEK STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT K. TERMINATION 1. For Cause. The obligation of ECOLOGY to the RECIPIENT is contingent upon satisfactory performance by the RECIPIENT of all of its obligations under this agreement. In the event the RECIPIENT unjustifiably fails, in the opinion of ECOLOGY, to perform any obligation required of it by this agreement, ECOLOGY may refuse to pay any further funds there under and/or terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination. A written notice of termination shall be given at least five working days prior to the effective date of termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents, data studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports or other materials prepared by the RECIPIENT under this agreement, at the option of ECOLOGY, shall become ECOLOGY property and the RECIPIENT shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work completed on such documents and other materials. Despite the above, the RECIPIENT shall not be relieved of any liability to ECOLOGY for damages sustained by ECOLOGY and/or the State of Washington because of any breach of agreement by the RECIPIENT. ECOLOGY may withhold payments for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due ECOLOGY from the RECIPIENT is determined. 2. Insufficient Funds. The obligation of ECOLOGY to make payments is contingent on the availability of state and federal funds through legislative appropriation and state allotment. When this agreement crosses over state fiscal years the obligation of ECOLOGY is contingent upon the appropriation of funds during the next fiscal year. The failure to appropriate or allot such funds shall be good cause to terminate this agreement as provided in paragraph K.1 above. When this agreement crosses the RECIPIENT's fiscal year, the obligation of the RECIPIENT to continue or complete the project described herein shall be contingent upon appropriation of funds by the RECIPIENT's governing body; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude ECOLOGY from demanding repayment of ALL funds paid to the RECIPIENT in accordance with Section O herein. 3. Failure to Commence Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails to commence work on the project funded herein within four months after the effective date of this agreement, or by any date agreed upon in writing for commencement of work, ECOLOGY reserves the right to terminate this agreement. L. WAIVER Waiver of any RECIPIENT -default isnot-a-waiver-of any subsequent -default. -Waiver of a breach of any provision of this agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent breach and will not be construed as a modification of the terms of this agreement unless stated as such in writing by the authorized representative of ECOLOGY. M. PROPERTY RIGHTS 1. Copyrights and Patents. When the RECIPIENT creates any copyrightable materials or invents any patentable property, the RECIPIENT may copyright or patent the same but Page 31 of 34 ECOLOGY WATERSHED PROTECTION AND RESTORATION GRANT #G1400022 PERRINVILLE CREEK STORMWATER FLOW REDUCTION RETROFIT STUDY AND PRE -DESIGN REPORT ECOLOGY retains a royalty -free, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, recover or otherwise use the material(s) or property and to authorize others to use the same for federal, state or local government purposes. Where federal funding is involved, the federal government may have a proprietary interest in patent rights to any inventions that are developed by the RECIPIENT as provided in 35 U.S.C. 200-212. 2. Publications. When the RECIPIENT or persons employed by the RECIPIENT use or publish information of ECOLOGY; present papers, lectures, or seminars involving information supplied by ECOLOGY; use logos, reports, maps or other data, in printed reports, signs, brochures, pamphlets, etc., appropriate credit shall be given to ECOLOGY. 3. Tangible Property Rights. ECOLOGY's current edition of "Administrative Requirements for Ecology Grants and Loans", Part V, shall control the use and disposition of all real and personal property purchased wholly or in part with funds furnished by ECOLOGY in the absence of state, federal statute(s), regulation(s), or policy(s) to the contrary or upon specific instructions with respect thereto in the Scope of Work. 4. Personal Property Furnished by ECOLOGY. When ECOLOGY provides personal property directly to the RECIPIENT for use in performance of the project, it shall be returned to ECOLOGY prior to final payment by ECOLOGY. If said property is lost, stolen or damaged while in the RECIPIENT's possession, ECOLOGY shall be reimbursed in cash or by setoff by the RECIPIENT for the fair market value of such property. 5. Acquisition Projects. The following provisions shall apply if the project covered by this agreement includes funds for the acquisition of land or facilities: a. Prior to disbursement of funds provided for in this agreement, the RECIPIENT shall establish that the cost of land/or facilities is fair and reasonable. b. The RECIPIENT shall provide satisfactory evidence of title or ability to acquire title for each parcel prior to disbursement of funds provided by this agreement. Such evidence may include title insurance policies, Torrens certificates, or abstracts, and attorney's opinions establishing that the land is free from any impediment, lien, or claim which would impair the uses contemplated by this agreement. 6. Conversions. Regardless of the contract termination date shown on the cover sheet, the RECIPIENT shall not at any time convert any equipment, property or facility acquired or developed pursuant to this agreement to uses other than those for which assistance was originally approved without prior written approval of ECOLOGY. Such approval may be conditioned upon payment to ECOLOGY of that portion of the proceeds of the sale, lease or other conversion or encumbrance which monies granted pursuant to this agreement bear to the total acquisition, purchase or construction costs of such property. N. SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS In order to sustain Washington's natural resources and ecosystems, the RECIPIENT is encouraged to implement sustainable practices where and when possible. These practices include use of clean energy, and purchase and use of sustainably produced products (e.g., recycled paper). For more information, see http://www.ecy.wa.gov/sustainability/.

RECOVERY OF PAYMENTS TO RECIPIENT The right of the RECIPIENT to retain monies paid to it as reimbursement payments is contingent upon satisfactory performance of this agreement including the satisfactory completion of the project described in the Scope of Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails, for any reason, to perform obligations required of it by this agreement, the RECIPIENT may, at ECOLOGY's sole discretion, be required to repay to ECOLOGY all grant/loan funds disbursed to the RECIPIENT for those parts of the project that are rendered worthless in the opinion of ECOLOGY by such failure to perform. Interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per year from the time ECOLOGY demands repayment of funds. If payments have been discontinued by ECOLOGY due to insufficient funds as in Section K.2 above, the RECIPIENT shall not be obligated to repay monies which had been paid to the RECIPIENT prior to such termination. Any property acquired under this agreement, at the option of ECOLOGY, may become ECOLOGY'S property and the RECIPIENT'S liability to repay monies shall be reduced by an amount reflecting the fair value of such property. P. PROJECT APPROVAL The extent and character of all work and services to be performed under this agreement by the RECIPIENT shall be subject to the review and approval of ECOLOGY through the Project Officer or other designated official to whom the RECIPIENT shall report and be responsible. In the event there is a dispute with regard to the extent and character of the work to be done, the determination of the Project Officer or other designated official as to the extent and character of the work to be done shall govern. The RECIPIENT shall have the right to appeal decisions as provided for below. Q. DISPUTES Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this agreement which is not disposed of in writing shall be decided by the Project Officer or other designated official who shall provide a written statement of decision to the RECIPIENT. The decision of the Project Officer or other designated official shall be final and conclusive unless, within thirty days from the date of receipt of such statement, the RECIPIENT mails or otherwise furnishes to the Director of ECOLOGY a written appeal. In connection with appeal of any proceeding under this clause, the RECIPIENT shall have the opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of this appeal. The decision of the Director or duly authorized representative for the determination of such appeals shall be final and eonclusive: Appeals from the Director's determination shall be brought in the Superior Court of Thurston County.
