SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of
marine mammals, with certain
exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and
(D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.) direct the Secretary of Commerce
(as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon
request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
proposed or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, a notice of a proposed IHA
is provided to the public for review.
Authorization for incidental takings
shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
taking will have a negligible impact on
the species or stock(s) and will not have
an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
taking for subsistence uses (where
relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe
the permissible methods of taking and
other ‘‘means of effecting the least
practicable adverse impact’’ on the
affected species or stocks and their
habitat, paying particular attention to
rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of
similar significance, and on the
availability of the species or stocks for
taking for certain subsistence uses
(referred to in shorthand as
‘‘mitigation’’); and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of the takings are set forth.
The definitions of all applicable MMPA
statutory terms cited above are included
in the relevant sections below.
Summary of Request
On February 15, 2022, NMFS received
a request from WSDOT for an IHA to
take marine mammals incidental to the
Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal
Overhead Loading Replacement Project
(the Bainbridge Project) and Eagle
Harbor Maintenance Facility Slip F
Improvement Projects (the Eagle Harbor
Project) in Bainbridge Island,
Washington. The application was
deemed adequate and complete on July
25, 2022. WSDOT’s request is for take of
12 species of marine mammal by Level
B harassment and, for a subset of these
species (harbor seal (Phoca vitulina),
harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena),
and Dall’s porpoise (Phocoenoides
dalli)), Level A harassment. Neither
WSDOT nor NMFS expect serious
injury or mortality to result from this
activity and, therefore, an IHA is
appropriate.

Description of Proposed Activity
Overview
The WSDOT Ferries Division (WSF)
operates and maintains 19 ferry
terminals and 1 maintenance facility, all
of which are located in either Puget
Sound or the San Juan Islands. Two
projects are planned to be conducted:
replacement of the Bainbridge Island
Ferry Terminal overhead loading
structure and improvement of the Eagle
Harbor Maintenance Facility Slip F.
Both of the projects are located within
Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island,
Washington, would be completed
within the same in-water work season,
would have overlapping ensonified
areas, and use the same information to
estimate marine mammal takes.
Therefore, WSDOT submitted one
application for a single IHA to cover
both projects.
The purpose of the Bainbridge Project
is to replace the seismically vulnerable
timber trestle and fixed steel portions of
the overhead loading structure at the
Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. The
purpose of the Eagle Harbor Project is to
improve the maintenance efficiency of
the facility. The facility has six vessel
slips whose purpose is to maintain the
WSF system’s vessels.
Dates and Duration
Due to in-water work timing
restrictions established by NMFS and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
construction in the projects area is
limited each year from August 1 through
February 15. Both the Bainbridge Project
and the Eagle Harbor Project would be
constructed during the 2022 to 2023 inwater work season. For the Bainbridge
Project, in-water construction is
expected to occur on up to 57 days
(Table 1). For the Eagle Harbor Project,
in-water construction is expected to
occur on up to 31 days (Table 2).
Specific Geographic Region
Both projects are located within Eagle
Harbor on Bainbridge Island,
Washington, approximately 9 miles (mi;
14.5 kilometers (km)) west of Seattle,
Washington. The Eagle Harbor
Maintenance Facility is approximately
0.25 mi (0.4 km) southwest of the
Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. Eagle
Harbor contains a mix of commercial
docks, public marinas, private docks,
and undeveloped waterfront properties.
The harbor extends 2 mi (1.2 km) west
from the mouth of the harbor, which is
approximately 900 feet (ft; 274.3 meters
(m)) wide and is bounded by Wing Point
to the north and Bill Point to the south.
A large underwater sand bar extends to
the southeast from Wing Point. Water
