Background Summary: The Washington Department of Ecology recently advised Museum staff of the award of $23,610 in grant funds to assist with the Phase III restoration at the Mary Olson Farm. Several key natural areas are planned to be restored at the Farm, a site listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, designated a City of Auburn Landmark, and listed in the Washington State Inventory of Archaeological Resources. Located on the Green River, the Olson Creek bisects it and is home to Coho and Chum salmon. We are now at Phase III of the three-phase-restoration and enhancement of this conservation property. We have accomplished the removal of invasive plants from the south meadow, improvements to drainage and storm water management, and design for stream restoration work; and also completed in Phase II was substantial in-stream habitat improvement, riparian restoration and stream bank stabilization. Phase III includes clearing pasture and hillsides, restoring the "wagon road" to serve as a primary pedestrian route connecting the north meadow with Olson Creek and the historic Mary Olson Farm barn, farmhouse and out buildings. Additionally, outdoor interpretive signage will be installed. The money anticipated from Grant No. G0900243 will finance Task 3, the pasture and hillside restoration: allowing removal of invasive species from the north meadow and hillside areas of Olson Creek; replant appropriate native species; stabilize and improve the pedestrian route (wagon road) to provide visitor access; and monitor required ground-disturbing activity by a professional archaeologist. Staff respectfully asks that Council agrees to accept the money, and direct the execution of the grant document.

DATA STANDARDS AND DATA SHARING Data sharing and access is an important consideration for grant recipients. Data collected under grants should be available to secondary users and for future comparative analyses. It is a requirement that grant recipients submit monitoring data to Ecology's Environmental Information Management (EIM) database at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/eim/ to store and access their data on the Internet. Data is submitted to EIM using online data submittal tools available at: http://www.ecv.wa.gov/eim/. Additionally, grant recipients may choose to develop their own databases, and these tools also provide a good model for data standards. Having many stand-alone databases can make data sharing difficult, but steps are being taken at the national level to improve data sharing. Since 1998 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the States have been working in partnership to improve access to environmental data. This has lead to the concept of the "Network Node," a place in cyberspace where environmental data can be uploaded and shared using common data exchange templates. Washington State has, along with Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska, successfully developed a prototype Website where environmental data from all four states can be searched and downloaded. Page 7 of 14 Coastal Protection Grant No. G0900243 Between Ecology and City of Auburn It is known as the Pacific Northwest Water Quality Data Exchange and is available at: http://deq 12.deq, state.or.us/pnwwqx/ 2. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROJECT PLAN (QAPP) IF this project involves the collection of environmental measurement data, the Recipient will prepare a QAPP plan to ensure the consistent application of quality assurance principles to the planning and execution of all activities involved in generating this data. It is highly recommended that projects involving the use of existing environmental data adhere to these requirements. The plan shall be conducted in accordance with the DEPARTMENT's Guidelines and Specifications for Preparing Quality Assurance Project Plans for Environmental Studies, current edition, (Ecology Publication No.04-03-030). The plan must describe the monitoring and data quality objectives, procedures, and methodologies which will be used to ensure that all environmental data generated will meet these requirements. The size and complexity of the plan should be cost effective and in proportion to the magnitude of the sampling effort. The QA/QC report shall contain all fourteen elements discussed in the QAPP guidance document. Ecology's Project Officer shall review and approve this plan prior to initiation of work. The QAPP will cover the following elements: • Title Page with approvals • Table of contents and distribution list • Back r~nd • Project Description • Organization and Schedule • Quality Objectives • Sampling Process Design • Sampling Procedures • Measurement Procedures • Quality Control • Data Mana eg ment • Audits and reports • Data verification • Data Usability Assessment On-line guidance far these topics is available at: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/biblio/0403030.html A QAPP template available for use by grantees can be found at: http•//www ecy wa.gov/pro rag ms/ea_p/qa/docs/QAPPtool/Mod2%20Template/module2.pdf For additional information og to htlp•//www.ecv.wa. o~v/programs/eap/qa Water samples requiring bench testing shall be analyzed by an environmental laboratory accredited by the DEPARTMENT. A list of DEPARTMENT accredited laboratories and Page 8 of 14 Coastal Protection Grant No. G0900243 Between Ecology and City of Auburn information on laboratory accreditation is provided on the Environmental Assessment Program website, currently available at: Http://www ecy wa o~programs/eap/labs/labs main html <http://www.ecy.wa.jzov/programs/eqp/labs/labs main.html 3. COORDINATION WITH ECOLOGY'S GEOGRAPffiCAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) IF this project involves developing GIS data, the Recipient shall coordinate with Ecology's GIS office in an effort to promote compatibility and to encourage sharing of geospatial data. To facilitate data sharing, the Department utilizes the following standards: Whenever possible, the Recipient is encouraged to utilize the standards listed above when compiling data. To discuss the usage of other standards, please contact Jerry Franklin at 360 407-7470; Fax: 360 407-6902; E-Mail: jfra461gecv.wa.gov or John Tooley at 360-407-6418; E-Mail: jtoo461 rx,ecv.wa. o~v for further data sharing and compatibility information. The Recipient shall submit copies to Ecology's Project Officer with complete documentation as it relates to all digital data, GIS coverages, shape files, related tables and map products. 4. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) Grant recipients are expected to consider the necessity of a SEPA process in the early stages of planning or scope development. Please contact your project officer for assistance. 5.
