PUBLIC NOTICE for Permit Application Issue Date: May 23, 2014 Expiration Date: June 23, 2014 US Army Corps of Engineers No: NWP-2014-133 30-Day Notice Oregon Department of State Lands No: 56099

Interested parties are hereby notified that an application has been received for a Department of the Army permit for certain work in waters of the United States, as described below and shown on the attached plan.

Comments: Comments on the described work should reference the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers number shown above and reach this office no later than the above expiration date of this Public Notice to become part of the record and be considered in the decision. Comments should be mailed to the following address:

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Steven W. Manlow steven.w.manlow@usace.army.mil P.O. Box 2946 Portland, OR 97208-2946

Applicant: Polygon Northwest Company, Fred Gast, 109 East 13th St., Vancouver, WA 98660

Location: The proposed project is located immediately east of SW Grahams Ferry Road and approximately 900 feet south of SW Boeckman-Tooze Road, in the Villebois Village neighborhood, Section 15, Township 3 South, Range 3 West, Wilsonville, Clackamas County, Oregon.

Waterway: Palustrine emergent wetlands near an unnamed tributary of Mill Creek (tributary of Corral Creek, a tributary of the Willamette River)

Project description: The proposed project would involve development of a residential community on an approximately 2.4-acre site in the Villebois Village neighborhood. The project is the second phase of the larger 28.91-acre Villebois Village Preliminary Development Plan 2 North. Phase 2 of PDP 2 North includes 10 single-family residential dwellings, a portion of Palermo Street, associated infrastructure improvements. These improvements include sidewalks, stormwater management infrastructure (including bioretention cell along SW Grahams Ferry Road), and planting of trees along Palermo Street.

The proposed development will place a total of 1,093 cubic yards of imported soil and gravel fill material, permanently filling 0.90 acres of palustrine emergent wetland on the site.

Mitigation: The applicant has provided a proposed compensatory wetland mitigation plan for this project. The applicant has proposed to compensate for wetland impacts through the purchase of 0.82 acres of wetland mitigation bank credit from the Mud Slough Wetland Mitigation Bank, citing the previous purchase of 0.08 acre of mitigation bank credit for a prior iteration of the development. The project site and mitigation bank are both within the Willamette River watershed (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 17090007).

If a permit is issued, the Corps will determine what is appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation. The amount of compensatory mitigation required shall be commensurate with the anticipated impacts of the project.

Purpose: The overall project purpose is to accommodate residential needs in this community. The basic project purpose is to provide housing.

Drawings: Eight (8) figures are attached and labeled NWP-2014-133 enclosure.

Additional information may be obtained from Steven Manlow, Acting Regulatory Section Chief, Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 503-808-4381 or email steven.w.manlow@usace.army.mil.

Authority: This permit will be issued or denied under the following:

Section 404, Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), for discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States.

Water quality certification: A permit for the described work will not be issued until certification, as required under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (P.L. 95‑217), has been received or is waived from the certifying state. Attached is the state's notice advertising the request for certification.

Section 404(b)(1) evaluation: The impact of the activity on the public interest will be evaluated in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency guidelines pursuant to Section 404(b)(1) of the Clean Water Act.

Public hearing: Any person may request in writing within the comment period specified in this notice that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearings shall state with particularity the reasons for holding a public hearing.

Endangered species: Preliminary determinations indicate that the described activity may affect an endangered or threatened species or its critical habitat. Consultation under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (87 Stat. 844) will be initiated. A permit for the proposed activity will not be issued until the consultation process is completed.

Essential fish habitat: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996, requires all Federal agencies to consult with the NMFS on all actions, or proposed actions, permitted, funded, or undertaken by the agency, that may adversely affect Essential Fish Habitat.

The project area is within the known range of protected species. We are currently gathering information regarding these species and have yet to make a determination of effect. Should we find that the described activity may affect the species listed above, we will follow the appropriate course of action under Section 305(b)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Any comments the National Marine Fisheries Service may have concerning essential fish habitat will be considered in our final assessment of the described work.

Cultural resources: An initial evaluation of the proposed project area indicates to the best of our knowledge, the described activity is not located on property registered or eligible for registration in the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places. At this time the Corps is unaware of any cultural resource surveys of the project area.

This notice has been provided to the State Historic Preservation Office, interested Native American Indian tribes, and other interested parties. If you have information pertaining to cultural resources within the permit area, please provide this information to the Corps project manager (identified above in this notice) to assist in a complete evaluation of potential effects.

Evaluation: The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impact including cumulative impacts of the described activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit, which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the described activity, must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors, which may be relevant to the described activity will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, consideration of property ownership and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.

The Corps is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, state, and local agencies and officials; Indian tribes; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.

Additional requirements: State law requires that leases, easements, or permits be obtained for certain works or activity in the described waters. These state requirements must be met where applicable, and a Department of the Army permit must be obtained before any work within the applicable Statutory Authority previously indicated may be accomplished. Other local governmental agencies may also have ordinances or requirements, which must be satisfied before the work is accomplished.
