1. LOCATION: The field work portions of this study shall be conducted on the islands of Johnston Atoll (JA) including Johnston, Sand, Akau, and Hikina Islands.

2. AUTHORITY: National Environmental Policy Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and the National Wildlife Refuge Administration Act.

3. REFERENCE DOCUMENT: Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System (JACADS), 1 November 1983, prepared by the U.S. Army Engineer Division, Pacific Ocean.

4. GENERAL OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE OF THE WORK: The purpose of the proposed study will be to provide a baseline of information for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on seabird populations, reproductive parameters and food habits that will provide a basis for protecting, maintaining and enhancing seabird resources of the Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Data collected will be interpreted in light of the potential effects associated with the JACADS project. The proposed study would be used to establish baseline conditions, monitoring programs and safeguards to insure adequate protection of seabirds of the atoll. The specific objectives of the study are to:

a. determine seabird population levels and nesting phenology,

b. determine baseline reproductive success estimates,

c. establish a baseline on reproductive parameters that may be used for annual, seasonal and geographic comparisons. These include egg size data, adult weight data, and growth rate estimates of nestlings,

d. determine the diet of the seabirds of Johnston Atoll,


e. identify mandgement measures to protect and conserve seabird resources

~hat may be affected by the JACADS project, particularly on Johnston Island, and

f. provide information of use in developing educational programs on

seabirds and their habitats directed at visitors and resident personnel at JA.

5. MAJOR WORK TASKS:

a. Submission and approval of research design.

b. Literature Review. '

c. Field survey.

d. Analysis of data collected.

e. Preparation and submission of field trip and-annual reports.

6. WORK TASK DETAILS:

a. Research Design: The research design will consist of a written document which outlines the objectives, methods, scope and schedules of field

and office work to accomplish the study. The research design will be submitted by FWS to the Corps for review and approval prior to the initiation

of field work. The research design will cover but will not be limited to the following: field equipment, field procedures including forms to code data,

personnel to be utilized in conducting field work, laboratory analyses, if any, data analysis techniques, and schedules.

b. Literature Review: Appropriate available information on seabirds of

Johnston Atoll and other similar island groups in the Central Pacific should be reviewed. Information available in Fish and Wildlife Service Trip Reports

and reports on techniques to monitor seabirds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands should be reviewed. These literature should provide information on

the abundance and distribution of seabirds, phenology, location of previous study sites and methods for data collection and analysis.

2

0,


c. Field Survey: Field surveys will include at least 4 visits per year

for a.stay on the island of 5-7 nights per visit. Visits will be scheduled during January, March, June and September.

(1) Populations and Phenology Data: During each visit data on

numbers of birds present and phenology will be gathered by counting birds and nests in permanently marked plots and through handling birds for banding and

recaptures of birds banded in previous years. Data will be recorded on standard forms used by the Fish and Wildlife Service.

(2) Baseline Reproductive Success Estimates: Nests will be marked

permanently and visited at intervals appropriate for determining status of nest. These data will be recorded on standard forms.

(3) Baseline Reproductive Parameter Measurements: A sufficient sample of eggs, chicks, and adults will be measured to establish a baseline for comparison with other years and locations in order to determine the health of the population. These d~ta will be recorded on standard forms.' .

d. Analysis of Data: The data analyzed from the field surveys will be analyzed annually to determine populations (location pf colonies, roosts and

estimate of the number of breeding birds and non-breeding birds, phenology, baseline reproductive success rates, baseline egg sizes, chick growth rates,

adult weights, and baseline data on the food habits of JA seabirds. Appropriate maps, tables, graphs and charts should be prepared to display the

data and be included in the written results and discussion of conclusions. Data will be compared seasonally and annually and potential causes of observed

changes discussed.

Recommendations on protecting/enhancing seabirds and their habitat from direct or indirect effects of the JACADS project or other associated activities will be made, based on an evaluation of the data collected. Emphasis will be placed on Johnston Island Seabirds since most of the JACADS project impacts on birds will be confined to JI.

e. Reporting: Field trip reports will be provided within 30 days of each visit to the Corps and FWS. These will include estimates of populations, phenology and reproductive success and include maps detailing the locations of

3

--


colonies and data recorded on standard forms including banding schedules, recovery reports, food habits samples, egg size, reproductive success, adult weight and chick growth. Annual reports will include results of data analysis during the year including populations, phenology, reproductive success, food habits, egg size, adult weight and chick growth. The annual report shall be submitted to the Corps and FWS by 1 December.

7. PERIOD OF STUDY: This SOW is for a one year period. (See paragraph 14.)

8. EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES: The principal investigator will provid~ all equipment and supplies, except the following:

all on-i~land support, directly related to this contract work air transportation by Military Airlift Command (MAC) from Honolulu to

Johnston Atoll and return to Honolulu base maps for field work working copies of aerial photographs for field use

9. REPORT FORMAT: The annual report covered by this SOW shall be complete and include the following subjects:

a. bibliography of reference consulted and cited;

b. "discussion of objectives and purpose of study;

c. discussion of research methodology;

d. presentation of results including raw data, tables, graphs, charts,

maps, diagrapms and photographs;

e. discussion of study results;

f. conclusions and recommendations for further study, if any, and for conservation of seabiros of Johnston Atoll.

10. PAYMENTS: The contractor will submit his billings for services rendered under the contract by the 15th of the month. The billing will be accompanied

Scope of Work for Aquatic Resource Inventory of Johnston Atoll

1. location: Field work shall be conducted in the lagoon and shallow waters of the reef platform constituting Johnston Atoll. Water depth for ground truth and mapping of aquatic resources will vary from 0-15 meters depending upon the depth of imagery detection on the aerial photographs. Sites for inventory and mapping studies will be located throughout the shallow reef platform. Long-term monitoring studies will be performed at the appropriate reef platform locations, which will give the best information on status of important resources and their responses to recreational/consumptive uses. Specific locations will be selected after preliminary reconnaissance in the early part of the project. The assessment of harvest activity will be

concentrated on exploitation of resources within the lagoon.

2. Authority: The National Environment~ Policy Act of 1969.

3. Reference Document: Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System (JACADS), June 1983, prepared by the U.S. Army Engineer Division, Pacific Ocean.

4. General Objectives and Purpose of the Work: The overall purpose of the work will be to provide the basis for protecting and conserving the aquatic resources within the Johnston Atoll National Wi.ldlife Refuge that may be affected, directly or indirectly, by activities associated with the design, construction, operation, and/or decommissioning of the JACADS facility. The proposed research would be used to establish environmental base-line

conditions, monitoring programs, and safeguards to insure adequate protection of the living resources in the refuge. The specific objectives of the study are to:

a. gather meaningful baseline data on shallow-water resources having recreational, ecological, or aesthetic significance,

b. assess the nature and level of harvest occurring,


c. assist the Refuge Manager to identify management measures to protect . and ~onserve resource~ that may b~ affected by the project, and

d. provide information of use in developing natural resource educational/recreational programs directed at visitors and resident personnel at JA.

The reference document predicts that the JACADS project implementation will double the human residential population on the atoll for a period of a decade or more. This in turn will cause a proportional increase in the discharge of sewage effluent, cooling water effluent, desalination effluent, and garbage. It may cause increased incidence of spills and accidents. It will cause increased contact, use and/or consumption of reef resources. In particular, increased recreational activity will likely result in increased shell and coral collecting, fishing, other consumptive uses, and contact with important species residing in the refuge, including finfish, shellfish, corals, seabirds, and marine turtles. The arbitrary enactment of more stringent . . . regulations during JACADS as a preventive precaution to protect fish and wildlife would be very unpopular to island residents who presently have limited outdoor recreational opportunities. However, changes in management measures, including regulations, based upon valid scientific studies would be more acceptable and justified. As a consequence of the above, an adequate resource evaluation program sho~ld be established for recreationally, ecologically, and aesthetically important species prior to the implementation

of the JACADS program.

6. Work Task Details:

a. Research Design. The investigator shall prepare and submit a written . '.

i

report which details the procedures and schedules for fieldwork, analysis and reporting of results. This research design will be submitted to POD and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Pacific Islands Refuge Manager) for their review and approval. Field work should not be initiated until approval of the research design is obtained from POD and FWS. The research design should include the following subjects: major field equipment, basic field procedares, professional qualifications of investigator personnel, laboratory analyses (if any), and schedules. The research design should discuss separately the following components of the work: 1) procedures to obtain the resource inventory and support the resource mapping effort of POD, 2) harvest assessment studies, 3) resource monitoring studies to assess changes in resources resulting from human activities. The research design should be prepared at a level of detail comparable to that provided below for the remaining work tasks.

b. Literature Review. The reference document contains a fairly complete listing of previous environmental and ecological studies conducted at Johnston

Atoll. The literature should be reviewed for background information on the taxonomy, abundance and distribution of reef biota, locations of previous

study sites, informat h""1 on the sites and extent of p' c::vious use and distur-

• .

. banc~ of living resources, and possible guidance for selecting candidate sites for long-term monitoring studies.

c. Field Survey: Resource Inventory. The purpose of the initial field work will be to obtain an extensive, atoll-wide survey of aquatic resources of ecologicalt~recreational, aesthetic and scientific importance at a level of detail that is logistically feasible, and suitable for characterizing these resources "for management purposes. Estimates of abundance or relative abundance of species of interest will be accomplished by rapid, standardized field census techniques. For many species that are sufficiently conspicuous and not excessively mobile, the community can be surveyed as a whole (e.g.,

visually) within a manageable sample area. More wide-ranging or cryptic species probably cannot be censused as effectively, and different, specific methods may be required to obtain some rough estimate. The data from the field inventories should be such that they will permit POD to map the distribution of major concentrations of conspicuous species that can be . . associated with particular substrates and to serve as a baseline for detecting gross changes over time in the abundance or distribution of these species.

The level of detail will vary among species, partly as a result of practical constraints in detection and census and partly in response to the level of management interest or probable need. For example, more detailed information is desirable for the threatened turtle species (largely monitored by National Marine Fisheries Service) and their known habitat such as algal feeding grounds (inves"tigator survey) and for species with known recreational/harvest value such as Distichopora (red coral), some large gastropods, lobsters, and

some reef fishes.

POD will prepare a base map based on the results of an existing aerial photographic survey and supply the map and correspondingly labeled photographs to the investigator. Based on his field survey, the investigator will identify samples of the major features depicted on the map. The aquatic biotopes that appear to be identifiable include: the seaward barrier reef slope, barrier reef rim, lagoon side of barrier reef, lagoon patch reefs (crests and slopes),

4


~ ~ lagoon sand bottom~» .lagoon rubble and consolidatc~ -hard bottoms, natural and

" dredged channnels and passes, beds of fleshy algae and the edges of man-made islands. The survey stations will be distributed among these biotopes so as to adequately characterize them all. The total number of stations required is probably of the order of 100. Their specific locations and distribution among the biotopes will be determined based on initial field information obtained in". the study.

The results of the field inventory and survey will also be used to describe the major reef features at each station and provide some quantitative or semiquantitative estimate of abundance of major species having recreational, ecological or aesthetic value. The basic product will be a compact narrative summary of each station that will serve as the basis for the map products and final resource inventory report, provide distributional information for species of interest, and give guidance for the selection of monitoring sites.

d. Mapping of Field Data. Based upon the results of the field work described above and any other relevant information available, the Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army will prepare resource overlay maps for major living resource groups and major known impacts, such as:_

Corals (including Distichopora),

Finfish (especially reef fish),

Shellfish (likely based mainly on known collecting grounds), zones of high physical/chemical stress such as pollution and/or sedimentation and dredging (includes sewage eutrophication and pathogen pollution, and turbidity which may affect corals). Other information that may appe~r in the overlays includes physical descriptive material from the investigator's survey and inventory such as bathymetric spot checks and bottom types. Locations of past and present study sites, known disposal areas, etc. will be added from

available records. POD will also prepare an overlay map which identifies special features of the area and existing and potential uses of reef resources

-that would appropriately be subject to conservation management by the Refuge

Manager, e.g.:

The results of the harvest assessment in Section e (below) will contribute to mapping some of these uses. The resource use information and other features will be presented and displayed in a manner that will assist in the development of plans, measures and regulations ~o manage living resources in the Refuge.

i •

e. Assessment of Harvest. The investigator shall make an assessment of the nature and scope of the harvest of aquatic plants and animals and develop some quantitative estimates of the amounts taken for major components of this fishery. This study shall include identification of the species or groups harvested and appraisal of the locations, seasons, collection methods, and level of effort. These estimates, together with estimates of standing stocks that may be derived from the resource inventory work, will aid in deciding whether there is a possibility of overharvest •. If so, the standard methods of fishery biology that are applicable to the data obtainable can be used to more fully quantify the effects of harvest relative to the productive capacity of the system. The product will be a portion of the resource and harvest status

report. It will include a summary of the status of harvest in the JA.lagoon and an individual description and assessment of each major species or group in the fishery. The amount of information and quality of estimates such as catch and available yield will vary among groups, depending upon availability of data. These results will be presented in a form most useful to the Refuge Manager for planning management measures.

f. Selection of Stations for Detailed Studies. A small number of

• i

. stations shall be selected and established as long-term study sites to provide more thorough quantification of resources in certain areas of interest and to demonstrate, if possible, differences in the biological community resulting from different levels of harvest or other influences of JACADS development. These monitoring stations will be situated in locations where they can best indicate how the removal of the harvested species at present or predictable levels will affect the population characteristics of the community.

Until the nature, locations and extent of harvest are better known, .it is not clear what study strategies will be feasible or most effective. The most likely approaches seem to be studies of (1) areas presently exploited at a level representative of the general harvest occurring in the lagoon, and (2) relatively pristine areas (if available) that provide habitat similar to the exploited areas. Both type (1) and type (2) would require a set of sample stations large enough to accommodate the natural spatial variability and

. provide statistically valid results. Where the various major harvested resources occur only in different habitats, it may be necessary to·establish more than one set of stations of type (1) and type (2). Information sources used to select sites will include the existing literature, local interviews,

catch reports, the resource inventory, and additional detailed reconnaissance.

g. Detailed Resource Measurement and Status Monitoring. Appropriate field methods for each major species involved shall. be use~ to obtain more complete and quantitative abundance, distribution, and population characteristic data for the resources within the stations selected in f (above). The intent is to include most of the non-cryptic macroanimals in the survey and to quantify the major animals well enough for statistical comparisons by a combination of appropriate techniques (tailored to the various species) an~ repeated measurements, including any required seasonal comparisons. This will provide a reliable baseline for the representative sample stations before development of JACADS proceeds. After the initial detailed measurement of resources on these stations is completed, they will be monitored periodically using the same standardized methods so that differences in the resource populations may be detected. Differences over time in the pristine stations will reflect changes unrelated to harvest--either natural variability or

7


..

changes r~~_,!).~.i~~ fro.m _t~~ .. _J~CA~S_ ~~vel.op.me!lt that affect the entire system. The pristine stations will serve as a continuing control for stations where harvest occurs at any level. Comparison of these type (2) stations with type (1) stations will help assess the effects of the present level of harvest. As , the JACADS development (and presumably the harvest) increases. monitoring; of type (1) stations subjected to increased harvest will allow tracking of the effects of:this increase. The results of these observations would be integrated with harvest assessment information (section e) from the immediate areas of the stations. so that independent estimates of standing stock and harvest can be compared directly. For pristine (type 2) areas, there is of course no harvest to provide fishery population characteristics such as size

frequency data. For these areas, it may be appropriate for the investigator

to collect an adequate sample of specimens of the major species from the area surrounding the stations. The investigator will analyze these results and provide any conclusions, observations. or information on resource populations that might be useful to the Refuge Manager for developing management measures to improve" the ~tatus of the populations.

h. Report on Resource Inventory. The results of the investigator's work on the inventory portions of the study shall be used by the investigator to comp~le a narrative report and by POD to prepare the accompanying atlas. The investigator's narrative report shall provide information that is not appropriate or is too detailed to be displayed on maps. This report shall also contain whatever analyses have been developed to help characterize the community relationships. The report shall point out any possible cause-andeffect relationships that the data suggest between the observed patterns and natural or human causes. It shall also attempt to identify areas of the atoll that require particular management attention. The narrative report will include an appendix tabulation of the basic data obtained from the fi~ld survey in a format that allows easy reference to both report data and mapped information. The report should be written in scientific format and should contain an executive summary or abstract. Its conclusions and recommendations shall make the best use of available data to provide the basis for the Refuge Manager to devise appropriate management measures to conserve aquatic resources. The report shall be submitted both to the Refuge Manager (Fish and Wildlife Service) and to POD for comment and possible revision before final approval.

Within the time frame in the Period of Study (section 7 below), there will not likely be monitoring results reflecting JACADS .. development. but such results would be included in subseq~ent reporting!or any additional monitoring segments that might be mutually contracted. The report shall provide a detailed, quantitative description of resources as inferred from sample stations and a similar description of the harvest pressure on the resource as inferred from samples of catch. The relationship between the resources and the harvest and the implications for the effects of JACADS development shall be discussed. Any identified effects of JACADS activities (if JACADS is already active) shall be included. The report should be written in scientific format and should contain an executive summary or abstract.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR FISH & WILDLIFE INVESTIGATIONS AT JOHNSTON ATOLL

A. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Coordination of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal Systems (JACADS) indicated that the JACADS project construction and operation could lead indirectly to greater impacts to fish and wildlife resources within the Johnston Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (.uSFWS) indicated in their letters of commentand at scoping meetings and briefings that JACADS will double the on-island human population and will proportionately increase interaction and impacts to fish, corals, shellfish, turtles, and seabirds due to increased diving, collecting (corals, shells), fishing, and other recreational activities.

Rather than to unilaterally strengthen existing base regulations on fish and wildlife conservation at this time, the USFWS felt it more prudent to assemble baseline information on refuge biological resources, to serve as the basis for predicting the effects of past recreational activities on the resources as well as predicting future impacts after a doubling of the population. This in turn would form the basis for changes in the base fish and wildlife regulations as well as the implementation of other management measures to conserve refuge resources. In a letter dated-S July 1983, the USFWS identified the type and scope of studies it felt were necessary to lead to changes in refuge resource management. At subsequent meetings between the USFWS, Army (USATHAMA & POD) and DNA, clarification and agreement was reached among all parties on the scope and direction of future fish and wildlife investigations. Generally, POD will be responsible, on behalf of USATHAMA and DNA for the technical management of the studies and FWS will scope out and implement the studies subject to Army review and approval. DNA will facilitate base support and assistance at JA on a reimbursable basis. The Army will reimburse DNA for airline tickets, per diem, equipment maintenance, and other expenses incurred for the fish and wildlife investigations at JA.

B. STUDY COMPONENTS & RESPONSIBILITIES. The specific components identified for future study are identified as follows:

:. ;C:,:-. " •• " University of Hawaii School of Law Library - Jon Van Dyke Archives Collection

·~ J

I Preparation of Base Maps. Based upon existing aerial photos, POD will prepare a large scale base map and provide working copies of base maps and aerial photographs to the Refuge Manager and for use in the field by FWS.

II Inventory of Reef Resources Within the Refuge. The Army will support a FWS inventory of important resources within the shallow waters of the refuge to serve as a semi-quantitative baseline by which to base future gross changes in the abundance and distribution of important refuge resources including: fish, turtles, corals, shellfish, and seabirds. The inventory will also assist in the establishment of more quantitative fish monitoring sites. POD will be responsible for preparation and publication of a reef atlas of refuge resources based on the data collected from the inventory.

III Monitoring of' Reef and Fishery Sites. The Army will support the FWS monitoring of a number of specific sites on the refuge that may be the subject of harvesting, fishing or other consumptive recreational uses. The monitoring studies will also include the monitoring of baseline or reference sites to differentiate changes in fishery abundance and distribution attributed to human population pressure from changes attributed to other factors.

IV Assessment of Recreational Use of Reef Resources. The Army will support a FWS assessment of recreational use including harvesting and fishing activities. Based upon the results of this effort and II and III above, FWS will alter refuge resource management programs and, in coordination with DNA modify base regulations as needed prior to the implementation of JACADS.

V Sea Turtle Populations. The Army will support an NMFS baseline study of turtle populations and activity at Johnston Atoll. The results of the study are nearly completed and will form the basis for future refuge management regulations related to sea turtles. FWS will monitor sea turtle populations throughout the life of the JACADS project.

VI Seabird Populations. The Army will support baseline study of seabird populations to be conducted on a seasonal basis by Dr. Ralph Shreiber in coordination with FWS at Johnston Atoll. FWS will monitor seabird populations for the life of the JACADS project.

VII Water Quality Monitoring. The Army has agreed to insure that water

quality characteristics near the sewer outfall and other selected shoreline locations around JI are monitored on a quarterly basis after implementation of JACADS and until the completion of JACADS and/or the establishment of an adequate sewage treatment system to insure that human health pathogens are minimized. FWS will comment on the water quality monitorjng protocol prior to finalization and implementation ••

VIII Interpretative and Educational Programs. The Army agreed to support FWS sponsored development of interpretative programs and displays to educate residents and visitors to JA on the importance and conservation of fish and ~

wildlife resources. DNA has agreed to facilitate the implementation of these programs once they are developed.

IX Fish and Wildlife Conservation Program. The Army and DNA have agreed to sponsor their share of support to implement new programs for the conservation of refuge fish and wildlife resources including additional monitoring activities and enforcement of modified regulations protecting fish and wildlife. This will include support (salary and living/travel expenses) of a half-time refuge manager on-site at JA beginning in FY86 and lasting the duration of the JACADS construction and operation. This will also include travel/per diem costs for FWS Refuge staff during JACADS beyond that necessary for normal refuge programs.

X Base Fish and Wildlife Regulations. The FWS and DNA have agreed to revise and execute new base regulations on fish and wildlife based upon and supported by the findings of I through IX above.

XI Nerve Agent Contamination Monitoring. The Army agrees to

investigate and monitor any contamination attributed to JACADS that results in a potential impact to refuge fish and wildlife resources.

XII Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The conduct and products of this program will be consistent with the terms of the MOA between the USFWS and DNA in effect for JA (see attached). DNA and FWS have agreed to revise this MOA as needed.
