Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Adopt a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors authorizing the processing of a Consolidated Coastal Development Permit CDP_2020-0038 (Parker 10 Mile Ranch) by the California Coastal Commission for The Nature Conservancy to increase winter survival and rearing capacity for Coho Salmon on the main stem of the Ten Mile River; and authorize Chair to sign same.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
CDP_2017-0025 (Phase 1A of project) - Resolution No. 17-140 adopted on October 3, 2017 & CDP_2020-0005 (Phase 1B of project) - Resolution No. 20-029 adopted on March 24, 2020.
Summary of Request:
The Nature Conservancy proposes to increase winter survival and rearing capacity for Coho Salmon on the main stem of the Ten Mile River by constructing in-channel and off-channel habitat elements across several sites along an approximately 2500-linear-foot reach of the Ten Mile River. The habitat enhancements include a series of in-stream large wood structures and associated off-channel habitat alcoves intended to increase habitat complexity in a stretch of channel that currently has very little winter habitat value; an off-channel flooded wetland to provide foraging habitat and off-channel refugia for juvenile salmonids during storm events; and bank softening, berm breaching, and tree recruitment to facilitate natural geomorphic processes and increase connectivity between the channel and adjacent floodplains.
Currently, the project is split between the Coastal Commission retained (original) jurisdiction (for in-channel improvements including engineered log jams) and Mendocino County coastal jurisdiction (for off-channel improvements including the alcoves and flooded wetland). The Coastal Act was amended by Senate Bill 1843 effective January 1, 2007, which allows for a consolidated permitting process for projects for which the Coastal Development Permit authority is shared by a local government and the State Coastal Commission. Therefore, the Nature Conservancy is seeking a resolution which would consolidate the permit review under the Coastal Commission for this specific project only, and streamline the permit process. In support of this proposed consolidation request is that consolidation of the Coastal Development Permit would not substantially impair public participation in the review of the Coastal Development Permit, as a public hearing will still be held by the Coastal Commission and may be attended by interested parties or interested parties may submit written comments to the Coastal Commission.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Reject the Resolution and direct staff to process a Coastal Development Permit for that portion of the project located in the County’s jurisdiction.
