The USFWS Wetland Inventory (WTI) did not identify wetlands on the parcel. The Jefferson County Map Data Base does not indicate any wetland s on the parcel. METHOD AND APPROACH The first level of assessment included review of existing information to develop background knowledge of physical features, and to identify the potential for wetland occurrence on the parcel. The resource documents available for preliminary review of the site conditions included: USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS), "Soil Survey of Jefferson County Area Washington", 2013 and 1994, Jefferson County aerial photography, and Jefferson County Planning Department data. The next level of assessment included on-site investigation to determine the presence of wetlands and upland sites. On-site investigation determined and verified the wetlands and their location based on the three -factor approach involving indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology as presented in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys and VANDERBERG 962700033 LSWC MAY 2017 i� r4 Coast Region (Version 2.0), May 2010. Hydric soils are classified using Filed Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 2.0, 2010. The wetlands are classified as to category using the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington -October -2014, Effective January 2015, Washington State Department of Ecology's Publication No. 03-06-029 and applicable Rating Forms Effective January 1, 2015. WETLAND Wetland Boundary Three wetlands have been identified on the Parcel 962700033. Delineations: All three wetlands were delineated on the ground and identified as Wetland 962700033 — A, Wetland 962700033 - B and Wetland 962700033 — C. The Wetlands will be referred respectively in this document as Wetland A, Wetland B and Wetland C and their location on the property are shown Exhibit II (Appendix A). Wetland A and B are completely delineated and only the east side of Wetland C was delineated. Wetland C boundary goes from the south property line to the north property line. Since Wetland C goes the whole width of the parcel there is no usable land between the west property line and the east wetland boundary of Wetland C so there is no need to delineate a west boundary for Wetland C. A compass traverse and chain measurement was conducted to determine their location and size of the wetlands on the parcel. The shape, size and location can be viewed in Exhibit III (Appendix A). Part of Wetland A is on Parcel 962700032 south of Parcel 962700033 and extends north onto Parcel 962700034... The wetland boundaries are marked with orange whips and flagging identifying stations identify the wetland boundaries. Wetland Landform - The wetlands were identified as separate wetlands as the total of their Criteria area is less than 50 percent of the parcel'. Wetland A and Wetland B are both isolated enclosed depressional basin wetlands. All the wetlands have their own separate contributing basins. Each wetland is larger than the areas that occur on the parcel. Wetland A is 0.23 acre in size and Wetland B is 0.19 acres. Both wetlands are situated in what are essentially glacial depressional landforms much like glacial kettles. Wetland C extends north and south from the parcel being a long narrow depressional wetland. The extent of Wetland C is only estimated for Parcel 962700033. Exhibit II on Page 5 show another perspective of the wetland areas for the year 2008 and 2016. There is one small area along the southeast side of the buffer of Wetland B. The area first appeared to be a wetland because of the amount of Carex obnupta but a plot sample taken showed the area lacked all thee wetland criteria (Plot D, Appendix B). Vegetation — A timber sale occurred sometime between 2007 and 2008. Parts of non -inundated areas of all three (3) wetlands were harvested and in some upland ' Wetland ranting System for Western WA: 2014 Update Effective January 1, 2015, Page 21. VANDERBERG 962700033 LSWC MAY 2017 Page 15 areas right up to the inundated wetland boundary. The wetlands are considered forested by Cowardin (1979)2 Forest cover consist Alnus rubra (red alder), Salix Scouleriana (Scouler's Willow) and Acer macrophyllum (big -leaf maple). The main emergent plants, although they do not meet the '/4 acre or more than 10% EXHIBIT II The 2008 photo on the right show a clear cut on the parcel and the location of the wetland. In several areas the clear cut occurred on non -inundated wetlands abutting inundated areas and uplands up to the edge of inundated wetlands. The forest between the wetlands is mainly Alnus rubra (red alder) and Acer macrophyllum (big -leaf maple). The 2016 photo on the left shows the contrast in vegetation type and composition. cover requirement consists of Carex obnupta (slough sedge) and Oenanthe sarmentosa (water parsley). Shrubs are dominantly Rubus procerus (Himalayan blackberry), Rubus spectabilis (salmonberry), Salix scouleriana (Scouler willow), and Spiraea douglasii (Douglas spirea) and Crataegus douglasii (black hawthorn). While most Pacific, and Scouler's willows and black hawthorn are considered shrubs, the willows and black hawthorn within the wetland boundary meets the definition of trees because they are 3 inches or greater in diameter at breast height (DBH), regardless of height3. Site specific plot data for Wetland A, B and C is located in Appendix II. The dominant measureable trees in the wetlands are red alders. In February 2006 nine red alder selected were measured within the boundary of the Wetland on Parcel 962700031. These red alders averaged 9.2 inch DBH (range from 5.9 to 12.5 inch) with an average of age of 42.8 years (range from 29 to 62 years). These trees do not meet the requirements of being one contiguous (1) acre of mature forest as defined in the paragraph above. 2 1979, Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States, Fish and Wildlife Service U.S. Department of the interior, Cowardin 3 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 2010.

VANDERBERG 962700033 LSWC MAY 2017 Page 16 Soils — Although the soil maps show that the soils on Parcel 962700032 are the Clallam Series in actuality the Sinclair Series (Sinclair gravelly sandy loams) are on the upland areas of the Parcel. The Sinclair soils are moderately deep moderately well drained soil with fine sandy loam mineral surfaces with gravelly and very gravelly sandy loam subsurface and subsoils. The soils have a compact and weakly cemented horizon (soil layer) starting at or below 25 inches. The wetlands have a Sinclair wet phase gravelly sandy loam surface and subsurface horizons with either gravelly sandy loam or gravelly loamy sand subsoils. These soils ranged from very dark brown to very dark grayish brown surfaces over laying grayish brown to very dark gray to very dark brown or greenish gray subsoils. Common prominent and distinct redoximorphic features in all the soils start within the upper 12 inches of the soil surfaces. The soils on the wetland on Parcel 962700033 meet the hydric soil field indicator Al 1 (Depleted Below Dark Surface) or F3 (Depleted Matrix).4 Hydrolo - The wetlands are depressional wetlands as defined by the HGM Classification of Wetlands in Western Washington. The three wetlands have very small contributing drainage basins (Figure 2, for each wetland classification) (Appendix C. The wetlands have very narrow non -inundated areas to do plot sample as they were inundated to maximum at the time of field investigation. The boundary between wetland and non -wetland is very abrupt along the largest percentage of the wetland boundary. Because of the amount of inundation in the wetlands at the time of the field investigation it is expected that during any given year some portion of each wetland is permanently inundated as are parts seasonally inundated. The hydroperiods exhibited on aerial photos are only approximate since dense vegetative tree cover prevents being able to distinguish and delineate the different hydroperiods actually on the photos. Wetland Rating The wetlands were rated using the updated 2014 Washington Wetland Rating System'. The classification rating sheets and accompanying figures for the three wetlands can be reviewed in Appendix C.

If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question B. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods?

NO - Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) Ifyour wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to score functions for estuarine wetlands. 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. NO - go to 3 *I.Ti*I-'r;e eii it1Ml ss M-.4 Flais Ifyour wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? _The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open. water (without any plants on the surface at anytime of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size; .At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m). NO-goto4 4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? The wetland is on a slope (slope can be verygradual), The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks, ^The water leaves the wetland without being impounded. NO-goto5 NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft deep). S. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? —The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or river, _The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years.

This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior of the wetland. P4; gs YES - The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding? The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet. NO - go to 8 YES - The wetland class is Depressional 8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small, stream within a Depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT AREAS 1N THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within the wetland unit being scored. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the HGM class listed in column 2 is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area.

If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods? NO-goto2 YES 1.1 Is the salinity of the water during periods of annual. low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)? NO - Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) VES - Freshwater Tidal Fringe Ifyour wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to score functions -for estuarine wetlands. 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. NO - go to 3 Ygg The welkvwlel Alts is 1FlRIs Ifyour wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? _The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any plants on the surface at any time ofthe year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size; —At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m).

It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks, —The water leaves the wetland without being impounded. NO -gotoS NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft deep). S. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? _The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or river, _The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years. Wetland Rating System for Western WA: 2014 Update Rating Form - Effective January 1, 2015 Wetland name or number Vanderberg 962700033 C NO - go to 6 WES NOTE: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding 6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at sometime during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior of the wetland. YES - The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding? The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet. NO - go to 8 YES - The wetland class is Depressional 8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small, stream within a Depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within the wetland unit being scored. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the HGM class listed in column 2 is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area. HGM classes within the wetland unit being rated HGM class to use in rating Slope + Riverine Riverine Slope + Depressional Depressional Slope + Lake Fringe Lake Fringe Depressional + Riverine along stream within boundary of depression Depressional Depressional + Lake Fringe Depressional Riverine + Lake Fringe Riverine Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other class of freshwater wetland Treat as ESTUARINE Ifyou are still unable to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or ifyou have more than 2 HGH classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

Bogs Does the wetland (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use the key below. If you answer YES you will still need to rate the wetland based on its junctions. SC 3.1. Does an area within the wetland unit have organic soil horizons, either peats or mucks, that compose 16 in or more of the first 32 in of the soil profile? No – Go to SC 3.2 SC 3.2. Does an area within the wetland unit have organic soils, either peats or mucks, that are less than 16 in deep over bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on top of a lake or pond? No = Is not a bog SC 3.3. Does an area with peats or mucks have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND at least a 30% cover of plant species listed in Table 4? Yes = Is a Category I bog No – Go to SC 3.4 NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory, you may substitute that criterion by measuring the pH of the water that seeps into a hole dug at least 16 in deep. If the pH is less than 5.0 and the plant species in Table 4 are present, the wetland is a bog. Cat. 1 SC 3.4.
