RE:Proposal for On-Call Environmental Permitting Support Services
Dear Carla:
Environmental permitting is a critical step in the delivery of capital improvement projects.By
understanding permit timelines and specific agency concerns we can efficiently obtain permits,
keeping projects on schedule and budget.Further,water quality and wildlife habitat in an urban
context is increasingly challenging to maintain;environmental permitting aims to protect these
elements.
Wolf Water Resources, Inc.(W2r)works primarily at the interface of infrastructure and natural
systems.This means that we provide environmental permitting services for every project that we
design and have developed trusted relationships with regulatory agencies.As a testament to our
relationships,W2r was asked to develop mitigation tools to assist regulators with function and
values assessment and mitigation options.These recently completed tools include the Stream
Function Assessment Method(SFAM)and Oregon Floodplain Attenuation Impact Mitigation
(FAIM)tool.In developing these tools we worked closely with DSL,EPA,USACE,ODFW, USFW,
NMFS,and local communities.
Through decades of designing and permitting projects W2r leadership recognized that many
restoration solutions are not entirely technical,but also require engaging with people.W2r's
founding principle of working with nature and partnering with people means recognizing the local
communities that live with capital projects on a daily basis,and from that,creating project work
products. This means that when we permit your projects,we are not only providing technical
services, but also upholding your reputation with regulatory agencies and the local community.
W2r understands that work through this on-call contract will likely be to support smaller,short-
term projects of within Tigard's CIP.W2r is experienced providing the environmental permitting
support services as identified for Category 3.1 and we commit to providing:
■ Concise and thorough permit documents in a timely manner that help expedite agency
review times.
• Mitigation plans that are feasible and successful in meeting long-term ecosystem functions.
• Efficient data collection and mapping processes for permitting and monitoring needs.
Through W2r's science-forward philosophy,we offer a team of engineers and scientists whose
expertise spans water resources engineering,landscape ecology,fish biology,wetland science,and
geomorphology.This blended expertise means our entire team will understand in-water work
windows and how permitting schedules can be impacted by various project design and construction

elements.This team-wide understanding is important toward anticipating regulatory
requirements/permitting timelines,field work needs,and creating mitigation designs that meet
resource agency requirements.
I, Marjorie Wolfe,will be the contract manager,while Darlene Siegel or Joe Rudolph will work
closely with Tigard in leading project tasks with the support of the staff shown in the proposal.
Sincerely,
Marjorie Wolfe,PE,CFM,

contracted by the City of Tigard to develop a design using bio-engineering

complex at the Palensky site Rowyn developed an innovative modeling technique to add
functionality to HEC-RAS such that infiltration and evapotranspiration could be simulated
in a zD modeling area.The technique is unprecedented and unproven so Rowyn
undertook extensive model calibration with water surface elevation data for the site and
performed validation with an additional season of data.The model informed the effect of
beaver dams and beaver dam analogues across the floodplain and was used for No Rise
analyses for the project.
Wilsonville Outfalls,AKS,Portland,OR.Engineering Support.The City of Wilsonville
seeks to stabilize three eroding stormwater outfalls to the Willamette River.Rowyn
worked to develop a water quality swale design that would be stable and functional within
stringent permitting constraints.He also assessed the stability of large wood placements
required for mitigation over a range of suitable alternatives to identify the most cost-
effective way to meet the requirement.
Pringle Creek Enhancement,City of Salem,Salem,OR.Engineering Support.The City of
Salem seeks to enhance storm water treatment and habitat in Pringle Creek.The section
of creek assessed is in a popular public park and will serve as both a practical
enhancement and a public outreach/demonstration project.Rowyn worked closely with
city personnel and a diverse technical team to develop alternatives that will provide
robust functional habitat and water quality improvement,and improve the user
experience of the park.
Steigerwald Floodplain Restoration, LCEP,Washougal,WA.Engineering Support.
Rowyn assisted with this multifaceted floodplain restoration in a variety of ways.He
performed rock size analysis for habitat riffles,floodplain substrate,and gravel
augmentation such that critical elements ofthe design are robust but the landscape can
still adjust and evolve dynamically.Time spent at the site performing supplemental survey
and water level data collection helped familiarize him with the refuge which streamlined
his involvement with all aspects of the design plan development.Experience with
construction oversight for large wood placement and channel excavation helped him
refine specifications for those work items such that they are more constructible without
compromising design performance.
Oxbow Park Stream Restoration, Metro, Portland Water Bureau,Troutdale,OR.
Engineering Support.This multi-faceted project involved both park facility and habitat
improvements.The restoration goals included increased side channel and floodplain
connectivity,large wood jams,and riparian enhancements.Rowyn produced the plans for
this project;having helped with the topographic survey he was able to work through the
design process efficiently.He performed volume estimates for earthworks and tailored
grading to minimize cut,fill,and ground disturbance.His familiarity with the project
allowed him to make field adjustments to the construction stakeout to accommodate
important design alterations.Throughout construction he worked closely with the client
and contractors to ensure the project timelines were met inside the in water work window
and with restricted work hours due to fire danger.

reducing streampower and maximizing floodplain connectivity.W2rworked effectively
with both the City's Conveyance and Science divisions to take a different approach,giving
the creek more room by relocating overlooks and paths and incorporating log structures
that redirected flows instead of armoring the banks.Consensus was achieved on this
alternative approach because it reduced risks to the pipeline.The project is currently in
the go%Design phase.
Evaluating Beaver Activity and Effectiveness of Dam Analogue Structures in Recently
Restored Floodplains of the Lower Columbia River(Research presentations:2o16
CREC Conference;2017 WA RCO Conference).Lead Investigator. Curtis was the lead
investigator on this study to document beaver activity in floodplains of the Lower
Columbia River Estuary(LCRE).They study was intended to inform the suitability,general
efficacy,guide the design,and characterize utilization of beaver dam analogues(BDAs)
constructed to encourage beaver use and improve habitat.Reconnaissance data were
collected and analyzed at over a dozen restoration sites throughout the LCRE and
involved over30 total natural dams and constructed BDAs locations. Findings of this
investigation include low overall use of constructed BDAs,minimum water depths of 2.0
to 2.5 feet for burrowing into banks and dam construction,common use of tiered dams,
preference for mud overwoody dam materials,among others.Information and
observations from this study cam be used to understanding key animal-behavior erosions
mechanism and potential infrastructure measures to address them elsewhere.

Trustee—Papplewick Trust Experience
and Water Education Trust
(since 2008) Red Rock Creek Stabilization,Site Evaluations and Scoping,City of Tigard,Tigard,
Member of Editorial Panel OR.Senior Geomorphologist. Colin was one of the staff members to review Red Rock
forthe Geographical Journal Creek in Tigard for bank erosion and incision issues.The project site is a reach of Red Rock
(since 2999) Creek that runs between two commercial properties near the intersection of SW 72nd
Avenue and SW Pacific Highway. A 20-inch diameter sanitary sewer runs parallel to Red
Rock Creek along this reach,and part of it has become exposed due to bank erosion.Colin
provided insight and leadership in reviewing field conditions and developing an approach
for addressing this situation.The project team proposed to repair and manage incision,
cover,and protect the exposed sewer line,using bioengineering techniques that enhance
the natural aesthetic and ecological functions of the creek.Colin's role was to provide
expertise to City-wide efforts on the project.
A Stream Evolution Model Integrating Habitat and Ecosystem Benefits, B.Cluer and
C.Thorne,2013:The hydrologic,hydraulic,morphological and vegetative attributes of
the stream during each evolutionary stage provide varying ranges and qualities of habitat
and ecosystem benefits.Colin has helped to construct a fluvial-habitat scoring scheme
that distinguishes the relative,and substantial differences in,ecological values of different
evolutionary stages. Consideration of the links between stream evolution and ecosystem
services leads to improved understanding of the ecological status of contemporary,
managed rivers compared with their historical,unmanaged counterparts.The potential
utility of the Stream Evolution Model,with its interpretation of habitat and ecosystem
benefits,includes improved river management decision making with respect to future
capital investment not only in aquatic, riparian,and floodplain conservation and
restoration,but also in interventions intended to promote species recovery.
EPSRC-NSF Blue-Green Cities Consortium—Newcastle Uk and Portland USA.Colin

uses a GIS based approach to address:uncertainty and decision making,hydrology,
hydraulics,sediment,pollutant and debris dynamics,stakeholder preferences,and
community engagement in assessing the multiple benefits of optimising the mix of grey
and green infrastructure.The aim is to demonstrate how integrated infrastructure
systems can provide treatment trains for stormwater that are acceptable to residents,
communities and land owners,while being environmentally sustainable and cost-
effective.Findings to date illustrate that integrated systems of grey and green
instrastructure not only deliver effective stormwater management but are also resilient
and adaptable to future changes in climate,land-use and societal preferences for urban
built and natural environments.The work in Johnson Creek demonstrates direct
applicability of Blue-Green approaches and spatially coordinated systems to Portland and
surrounding cities.
NOAA Risk Screening Matrix for Species and Habitats for River Restoration Projects In
2oo8,Colin was engaged by NOAA-NMFS and the USFWS to develop a risk screening
matrix with which to make rapid assessments of risks to listed species/habitats posed by
proposed river restoration projects.Extension of the method's applicability
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/3.0.1002/rra.2753/abstract)means that it could be
useful to rapidly assess risks to people, property and habitat associated with grey and
green infrastructure alternatives for urban flood management.
Steigerwald NWR Floodplain Reconnection,LCEP,Washougal,WA:Colin's input to
this project was important toward gaining USACE support for process-based designs that
integrate stream and wetland restoration across 1,000 acres of floodplain.He also helped

technical expertise forthe implementation of the Watershed Baseline Study and Fluvial
Audit approach that put each tributary in its watershed context as the first step to
investigate the sediment transfer characteristics of each stream.Following these steps,
the project team implemented a more quantitative sediment transport assessment to
develop sediment budgets for each of the five tributaries.
Johnson Creek Oxbow Enhancement Project,City of Portland Bureau of
Environmental Services,Portland,OR.Project Director. Colin was the project director for
this project which included a geomorphic assessment that focused on informing eight
potential future project elements including: fish passage improvements at an existing fish
