Habitat Manaqement Plan
Lot 7 Bishop's Subdivision
NE :[/4 Section :[4, Township 27N, Range 2W
25% Buffer Reduction Request ·
This Habitat Management Plan project has been requested by the Jefferson
County Department of Community Development as specified in the Unified
Development Code Ordinance, Section 3,, Land Use Districts, as adopted in
January 16, 2001. Because the planned construction of a single-family
residence is along the Little Quilcene River and is within a designated
Washington State Fish and Wildlife Priority Riparian Habitat Area,. a buffer
restriction is in place at the site. For a Type I & 2 stream type (the Little
Quilcene River falls in this category), the standard streamside buffer width is
150 feet, as determined using the criteria set forth in Chapter 222--16-030
WAC. To afford some distance from Highway 101, the proponents of the
project are requesting a reduced buffer width of 25% as set forth within the
Unified Development Code Section 3. Land Use Districts. Section 3.6.8.g (5) &
(6).
This project site is located on a portion of Lot 7 in Bishop's subdMsion, per
volume 2 of Plats page 116, records of 3efl"erson County. In addition, it is
located in the Norris Bartley Short Plat in a portion of East 1/2 of the NE 1/4,
Section 14, Township 27North, and Range 2West (W. lVl.), in .lefferson County,
Washington (Figures 1,2,3, & 4).
The intent of this Habitat Management Plan is to identify how the
development of this single family residence will impact the Washington State
Department of Fish and Wildlife priority habitats and species listed in the
area, and if found, how those impacts will be mitigated.
(1) Qualifications of the Preparer: Please see Attachment 1.
(2) Site Map.s.: The property is located just north of Quilcene aloncj Highway
10.t and just north of the Little Quilcene River Bridge (Figure 1). The
project location is bordered on the west by Highway 101, by the Little
Quilcene River to the east, and by Lot 2 of the Norris Bartley Short Plat to
the south. It is a triangular property that has a total of 1.6 acres (Figures
2 & 3). The base of the triangle (the southern boundary) is approximately
LOG ITEM
Page_ of
200 feet from Highway 101 to the approximate floodplain mark along the
Little Quilcene River. The western boundary along Highway 10:1 is +450
feet in length, and the eastern boundary along the river billows toward
the east reaching a total of +550 feet inside of the approximate 100 year
floodplain meander line (Figure 2).
The property is bounded on the east side by the riparian habitat
associated with the Little Quilcene River. There is designated commercial
forestland across the river to the east, but is not associated with this
project. The closest wetland habitat is south of Wildwood Road and across
Highway 101 to the west of the project site (Figure 4). This project does
not fall within the Corridor Migration :Zone for the Little Quilcene !River.
The proposed 30 foot x 40 foot house envelope, driveway location, and 40
foot x 40 foot garage envelope is included as Figure 5. Figure 5 also
shows the existing shelter, and the associated systems.
(3.) Habitat Management Plan Report
(A.) At present, there is an old log shelter (Attachment 2) in extreme
disrepair on the proposed construction site. The roof of the shelter
has caved in, the walls are no longer standing and no foundation was
ever built for the structure. Tn additional to this skeletal building, in
1973 a well was drilled to a depth of 34 feet that supplies 20.1
gallons/minute and is on the northwestern corner of the property. ]:n
1973, a 75 feet x 3 feet drainfield was dug 28" deep approximately 75
feet west of the Little Quilcene River in the southeast corner of the
property. Associated with the drainfield is a :~,000-gallon septic tank,
both of which were approved by the Olympic Health l)istrict in
September of 1973, permit number 2266.
(B.) As mentioned above, the site is bounded by the Little Quilcene River
on the east, Highway 101 on the west, and Lot 2 of the Norris
Bartley Short Plat to the south. No cultural features are noted within
the .lefferson County database. However, across the river to tile east,
there is designated commercial forestland and across the highway to
the west there is a small designated wetland area.
(C.) The proposed development is that of a single-family residence With a
detached garage (Figure 5). There is currently a shelter on the
property, which, in accordance with its state of disrepair,, is at least
five decades old. ]:n addition to this structure, there is currently a
LOG ITEM
Page_ ~,, of~
septic tank, a drain field, and a permitted well already on the
premises. These systems have been on the property since it was first
proposed to be developed into a single family residence, back in
1973.
(D.) The proposed building locations and arrangement <:an be seen in
Figure 5.
(E.) Please see Figure 3 to see the boundaries of designated forestland.
(iii.)A description of the nature, density and intensity of the proposed
development in sufficient detail to a~low anaysis of such land use change
upon identified fish and wildlife habitat.
(A.) The Washington State Fish and Wildlife Priority Species and Habitat
database was searched for all priority habitats within the vicinity of
the proposed project site. One designated wetland habitat just west
and isolated from the project site across Hicjhway 101 off Wildwood
Way was identified. The other habitat that was identified by the
query was the important riparian habitat that runs along the Little
Quilcene River. The building project is not proposed to be located
within or near the Channel IVligration Zone.
This report reflects the application for a single-family residenc:e to be
constructed on a wooded lot between the Little Qui~cene River and
Highway 101. Because of the limited distance between the highway
and the river (approximately 200'), the proponents of tl'Je project
would like to reduce the required riparian buffer distance of 1!50 feet,
to 116 feet, (a 25% percent buffer reduction including an additional
5 feet building set-back buffer). The reduced buffer (a distance of
1:1.6 feet from the ordinary high water mark on the stream bank) will
be retained in its natural condition.
At the site, exist two large cedar stumps left over from logging of old
growth timber. These two stumps have an approximate diameter of
12 feet. As well, several large firs, big-leaf maple, and western red
cedar trees exist, all at least 50 years of age (Attachment 2). Tn
addition to these large trees, dozens of understory cascara, vine
maple, holly, devil's club, and snowberry shrubs are found on the
property. The introduced species of English i~/covers a large portion
LOG ITEM
Pa g e~of ~._.(..~_-
of all trees and is the most predominant ground cover on the site.
The area closest to the Little Quilcene River is a well developed
riparian area with well established firs, big-leaf maples, cedars,
willows, and natural windfall that has provided and created large
woody debris. There is also a dense herbaceous layer ot: skunk
cabbage, coltsfoot, lady-fern, sedges, thimbleberry, and trillium. All
of these vegetative communities {except for the English Ivy~ are
typically associated with western Washington forested riparian areas.
Because an anadromous fish-bearing stream borders this property, it
is designated as a priority habitat area within the management
recommendations of the Washington State Department of Fish and
Wildlife. This said, it is important to identify the biological, chemical
and physical changes that might occur doring tile construction and
the long-term existence of a single-family residence at the site. It is
also important to determine if the implementation of this proposed
project will significantly influence this important habitat.
No filling or dredging will be required and the land is extremely level,
requiring only minimal amounts of land reshaping with heavy
equipment. The construction of this pr~ect will be a typical stick
frame single-family residence with a detached garage and will take
place over a 6-month period. Heavy equipment will be used to level
the areas where the house and the garage will be constructed
(Attachment 2). During this process, four large trees (! fir, .~L cedar,
and 2 big leaf maples) will be removed. Although these trees are
healthy and create shade for the site, these trees fall well outside of
the reduced buffer area and are at least 123 feet from the ordinary
high water mark on the Little Quilcene River. In addition to these
large trees, several understory shrubs and trees will also need to be
removed to allow for construction. The proponents wish to keep the
landscaping as natural as possible and will leave the existing
vegetation as is, in all areas except where the house and garage will
be constructed. The only exception to this statement is the intention
by the proponents to remove the English Ivy that has inundated the
area and replant it with native ground cover and shrubs, such as
huckleberry, elderberry, salmonberry, clubmosses, and true mosses.
The footprint of the house and detached garage will create
approximately 3200 square feet of impermeable sud:ace. The
proposed driveway from the main highway will be constructed of
LOG ITEM
gravel and/or crushed rock and allow surface waters to be absorbed,
without adding additional impermeable surface area.
The immediate impact of site clearing wall be kept to a minimum. The
number of native trees, understory and ground cover that will remain
in its natural state will far exceed the small area that will be cleared
for the proposed construction (3,200 square feet is approximately 4.6
% of the total 1.6 acre area). No chemicals will be used in the area
during the construction period and all heavy machinery witl be used
well outside of the buffer area for no more than 2 weeks, limiting the
potential of fuel spills and increased sedimentation.
(B.) Analysis of the effect of the proposed development, activity or land use
change upon the fish or wildlife species identified by the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife within the identified priority habitat,
utilizing management guidelines.
The Washington State Fish and Wildlife Priority Species and Habitat
database was searched for all state listed species within the vicinity of the
proposed project site. There were very few state-listed species. The
anadromous cutthroat trout (On£orhyn£hus darki dar/¢J), winter steelhead
(On¢orhynchus mykiss), rainbow trout (On¢orhynchus myki$'s), fall
chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytschzO and chum salmon (Oncorhynchu$
keta) are identified as important species within the area. No other avian,
terrestrial, or aquatic species were identified within the vicinity.
Management recommendations for Washington's priority species and
habitats are developed to meet the goal of maintaining or enhancing the
structural and functional integrity of riparian habitat and associated
aquatic system needed to perpetually support fish and wildlife populations
on both site and landscape levels. The following parameters influence the
specialized habitat requirements of anadromous fish: adequate stream
flow, cool well-oxygenated water, sediment free gravel for spawning,
adequate food supply, unpolluted water, and in-stream structural diversity.
By maintaining the riparian buffer area (reduced to Z:L6') in its natural
state, it is likely that the species associated with this habitat will not be
significantly altered.
The above parameters are not likely to be significantly influenced by
short-term and long-term effects, both during construction and after the
new home has been completed. Stream flow and the existing clean gravel
LOG ITE
will not likely be altered because 95% or so of the habitat structure will
remain as it is without disturbing much of the ground cover, understory
canopy or forested areas. The distance of the construction site to the
riverbed will also preclude surplus sediments from entering the stream
because the forest floor will likely absorb them before they enter tile river.
Tn addition, the shading of the river, which keeps the river coo~ and well
oxygenated, by the multiple canopy of trees and shrubs will not be
altered. Only four trees, and some understory brush, from well over 120'
from the riverbank, will be removed to make room for the new
construction. These trees and shrubs do not shade the river now and will
not increase the temperatures once they are removed. However, to
maintain the potential for these four trees to provide stream diversity, they
will be placed close to the river, within the riparian area. The structural
complexity within the river and food supply will not likely be changed,
except for the potential enhancement by the four felled trees as
mentioned above. Other trees are still available within the riparian area for
windfalls that create large woody debris and increase complexity of the
river channel. Leaves and needles from the surrounding canopy will
continue to fall on the forest and river floor and be available to be
decomposed and provide the basis for the food chain that will support the
anadromous fish in the stream. The construction of ttle single-family
residence and detached garage may reduce the available foliage slightly,
but it is unlikely that this would have any significant impact on the listed
fish species and they prey.
The land use of the site will not only differ in the fact that two new
structures (in place of the one existing structure) will be built aRd used at
the site, but the existing systems (water well, and the septic) will also be
used. This should not constitute any addition influence over the riparian
area, because these systems are already in place, and have been used in
the past. The only potential problem is with the existing septic system if it
malfunctions. If it is inspected on an annual basis however, there are will
not likely be any short or long-term effects on the listed species.
(C.) A plan that shall explain how any adverse impacts created by the
development will be mitigated.
No significant long-term and short-term adverse impacts are anticipated to
occur on the riparian area or the designated anadromous fish species. Tn
addition, the proponents have made it clear that they do not intend to ever
armor the stream bank to provide protection of their home. However, it is
important to make sure that all potential impacts are minimized. Listed
LOG ITEM
#
below are habitat management recommendations to minimize irnpacts on
the riparian habitat and associated species.
1. Gutters, roof flashings and downspouts should not be constructed of
copper or galvanized metal. Plastic or aluminum gutters and
downspouts are recommended. This should help alleviate any potential
chemical contaminants into the stream corridor.
2. No chemicals and /or fertilizers should be used at any t!ime on
vegetation outside of the home and detached garage. This should help
keep the stream clear of added nutrients and pollutants.
3. All areas outside of the home disturbed during construction will be put
back to its preexisting grade and revegetated with natiw~ riparian
ground cover and trees. Introduced English Ivy will be replaced with
native vegetation. This should help the forest floor to maintain its
absorptive quality.
4. During construction, if heavy rains occur, sediment fences will be
placed near cleared areas if the likelihood of sediments reaching the
riparian buffer area is increased. This should help keep the river free of
excess sediments.
5. Construction of this project should take place outside of the
anadromous migratory period between March 15 and June 15 of any
year.
6. A periodic inspection schedule of the septic tank and clrainfield should
be established. This should he~p maintain the integrity of the septic
system and avoid any human waste from entering l:he river.
7. The proposed reduced riparian buffer area should be unaltered and left
in its natural state. This should help maintain the riparian habitat
functions.
8. All trees required to be felled for the construction of the single family
residence should be placed within the riparian area to provide
additional river complexity.

P~ge ~ of___(_~
9. At no time shall the proponents of this project request a permit for
armoring the river bank for protection of their home and detached
garage.
10. No work shall take place within or near the Channel Migration Zone.
In summary, the riparian habitat and its associated anadmmous fish
species are well defined. The reduced riparian buffer proposed for this
project does not significantly alter the function of the existing riparian
habitat. If the management guidelines are followed for this construction
project, and the riparian buffer is left in its natural state, the designated
species and priority habitat are not likely to be adversely impacted.
