APPENDIX C WRIA 8 Pressures Assessment During the Plan update process, the WRIA 8 Technical Committee (TC) estimated the intensity of the most important known sources of human-caused stress to Chinook salmon and salmon habitat in the WRIA 8 watershed. This “pressures assessment” was based on current scientific research and local knowledge of conditions in each habitat used by Chinook salmon. The pressures assessment rated the scope, severity and irreversibility of each important stressor to Chinook salmon at each life stage and habitat component for both WRIA 8 Chinook populations. These ratings were entered into a regional conservation planning tool (Miradi) to create a summary that constitutes the judgement of the TC on the relative impacts of each stressor to Chinook salmon in the watershed. The WRIA 8 pressures assessment began with the list of 47 stressors developed by the Puget Sound Partnership as part of the effort to create a common regional ‘language’ for Chinook and Puget Sound Recovery (PSP, 2014). As part of what was known as “Phase 1” of a PSP-led Monitoring & Adaptive Management process, the TC first classified each stressor on a scale of 1-5 (5 denoting the highest negative impact). With a few exceptions, stressors that were classified below 2.5 in the 2014 assessment were not carried forward for further prioritization. A few others, noted below, were combined to simplify the assessment. This initial filtering and combining process reduced the total number of stressors subsequently assessed to 35. The TC concurrently developed a life-cycle based conceptual model, and incorporated that knowledge into the pressures assessment by considering each stressor in relation to each life stage of both populations. This approach is somewhat aligned with WDFW’s approach to managing species based on life stages and life-cycle modeling in the Columbia Basin and elsewhere. With this approach, estimates of impacts were focused on the specific locations used by Chinook salmon in WRIA 8 during the specific times and life stages Chinook occupy them. Next, the TC reviewed the links between stressors and components (Chinook habitats and life stages for each population), and rated the impact of each stressor on each component. The pressures assessment rated each stressor/component pair low, medium, high, or very high in terms of scope, severity and irreversibility according to regional definitions (see below). (If a stressor was hypothesized to have no impact on a particular life stage, the component pair was not rated.) Note that a score of low or medium is not meant to convey that the pressure is unimportant, but rather that relative to other pressures, it is not the most widespread or severe for that life stage.

    APPENDIX CWRIA 8 Pressures Assessment During the Plan update process, the WRIA 8 Technical Committee (TC) estimated the intensity of the most important known sources of human-caused stress to Chinook salmon and salmon habitat in the WRIA 8 watershed. This “pressures assessment” was based on current scientific research and local knowledge of conditions in each habitat used by Chinook salmon. The pressures assessment rated the scope, severity and irreversibility of each important stressor to Chinook salmon at each life stage and habitat component for both WRIA 8 Chinook populations. These ratings were entered into a regional conservation planning tool (Miradi) to create a summary that constitutes the judgement of the TC on the relative impacts of each stressor to Chinook salmon in the watershed.

    The WRIA 8 pressures assessment began with the list of 47 stressors developed by the Puget Sound Partnership as part of the effort to create a common regional ‘language’ for Chinook and Puget Sound Recovery (PSP, 2014). As part of what was known as “Phase 1” of a PSP-led Monitoring & Adaptive Management process, the TC first classified each stressor on a scale of 1-5 (5 denoting the highest negative impact). With a few exceptions, stressors that were classified below 2.5 in the 2014 assessment were not carried forward for further prioritization. A few others, noted below, were combined to simplify the assessment. This initial filtering and combining process reduced the total number of stressors subsequently assessed to 35.

    The TC concurrently developed a life-cycle based conceptual model, and incorporated that knowledge into the pressures assessment by considering each stressor in relation to each life stage of both populations. This approach is somewhat aligned with WDFW’s approach to managing species based on life stages and life-cycle modeling in the Columbia Basin and elsewhere. With this approach, estimates of impacts were focused on the specific locations used by Chinook salmon in WRIA 8 during the specific times and life stages Chinook occupy them.

    Next, the TC reviewed the links between stressors and components (Chinook habitats and life stages for each population), and rated the impact of each stressor on each component. The pressures assessment rated each stressor/component pair low, medium, high, or very high in terms of scope, severity and irreversibility according to regional definitions (see below). (If a stressor was hypothesized to have no impact on a particular life stage, the component pair was not rated.) Note that a score of low or medium is not meant to convey that the pressure is unimportant, but rather that relative to other pressures, it is not the most widespread or severe for that life stage.

    Life Stage Components Used for RankingsThe following life stages match those identified in the conceptual model, which represents the basis of TC assumptions and working knowledge of Chinook in WRIA 8. The two WRIA 8 Chinook populations were rated separately due to their different experiences in the watershed.

    Migration - Cedar population (returning adults)

    Pressure Rating DefinitionsSCOPE: Most commonly defined spatially as the proportion of the habitat component (life stage + geography) that can reasonably be expected to be affected by the pressure within ten years given the continuation of current circumstances and trends. For ecosystem and ecological communities, measured as the proportion of the component’s occurrence.

    Low: The pressure is likely to be very narrow in its scope, affecting the component across a small (1-10%) proportion of the area/population.

    Medium: The pressure is likely to be restricted in its scope, affecting the component across some (~11-30%) of the area/population.

    High: The pressure is likely to be widespread in its scope, affecting the component across much (~31-70%) of the area/population.

    Very High: The pressure is likely to be pervasive in its scope, affecting the component across all or most (~71-100%) of the area/population.

    SEVERITY: Within the scope, the level of damage to the component from the pressure that can reasonably be expected given the continuation of current circumstances and trends.

    Low: Within the scope, the pressure is likely to slightly degree/reduce the component or reduce its population by ~1-10% within ten years or three generations.

    Medium: Within the scope, the pressure is likely to moderately degrade/reduce the component or reduce its population by ~11-30% within ten years or three generations.

    High: Within the scope, the pressure is likely to seriously degrade/reduce the component or reduce its population by ~31-70% within ten years or three generations.

    Very High: Within the scope, the pressure is likely to destroy or eliminate the component or reduce its population by ~71-100% within ten years or three generations.

  • 3IRREVERSIBILITY (PERMANENCE): The degree to which the effects of a pressure can be reversed and the component affected by the pressure restored

    Low: The effects of the pressure are easily reversible and the component can be easily restored at a relatively low cost and/or within 0-5 years.

    Medium: The effects of the pressure can be reversed and the component can be restored with a reasonable commitment of resources and/or within 6-20 years.

    High: The effects of the pressure can technically be reversed and the component restored, but it is not practically affordable and/or within 21-100 years.

    Very High: The effects of the pressure cannot be reversed and it is very unlikely the component can be restored, and/or it would take more than 100 years to achieve this.

    Results:The summary results are shown in Table 1. The rating for each pressure to component pair is performed in Miradi using an algorithm to weigh scope, severity and irreversibility. A rating of Low, Medium, High or Very High is assigned to all relevant relationships (a blank cell indicates no significant relationship is hypothesized between the pressure and life stage). The TC highlighted high or very high pressures for the most important life stages to address first.

    Climate impacts are reflected in the results. By considering altered peak flows, temperatures and predation, which are predicted to be exacerbated in WRIA 8 by continued climate change, the ratings reflect current and predicted worsening through the severity and irreversibility ratings.

    The life stages identified for the WRIA 8 Chinook Recovery Plan update process as the highest priority are lake rearing, stream rearing, and migration (both downstream migrants and returning adults). The high and very high pressures for each priority life stage were summarized and were presented to a workshop of WRIA 8 TC and Implementation Committee (IC) members in August of 2016. The joint workshop analyzed the current recovery strategies in relation to the pressures and developed new strategies where needed. Some pressures were only relevant or highly rated for one of the populations; therefore, strategies have a geographic specificity reflected in the recovery strategies and associated actions.

    At a high level, the pressures assessment process and workshops confirmed the following pressures as most important to address in WRIA 8 for Chinook salmon recovery:

    • Land conversion

    • Levees

    • Shoreline armoring

    • Altered peak flows

    • Increased water temperatures

    • Predation (native and non-native species)

    • Ballard Locks (fish passage)
