Non-Wetland Determination Report 1 January 16, 2019 INTRODUCTION Ecological Land Services, Inc. (ELS)was contracted by Jared Thacker to complete a non-wetland determination for the property located at 10697 Center Road,Jefferson County Tax Parcel Number 801324008,in Quilcene, Washington. This property is located in a portion of Section 32, Township 28 North, Range 1 West of the Willamette Meridian,in Quilcene, Washington (Figure 1).This report summarizes findings of the non-wetland determination according to the Jefferson County Code (JCC), Chapter 18.22 Article VII Wetlands. METHODOLOGY The wetland determination followed the Routine Determination Method in the Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987),and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast Region (Version 2.0)(U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center,2010). The Routine Determination Method examines three parameters—vegetation, soils, and hydrology—to determine if wetlands exist in a given area.Hydrology is critical in determining what is wetland, but is often difficult to assess because hydrologic conditions can change periodically (hourly, daily, or seasonally).Consequently, it is necessary to determine if hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils are present, which would indicate that water is present for long enough duration to support a wetland plant community.By definition, wetlands are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands are regulated as “Waters of the United States” by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE),as “Waters of the State”by the Washington Department of Ecology (DOE), and locally by Jefferson County. To determine the presence or absence of critical areas on this property, ELS biologists collected data on vegetation, soils, and hydrology at seven test plots in an area where hydrophytic vegetation was observed (Figure 2).No wetlands were identified within or immediately adjacent of the study area because the data revealed that positive indicators are not present for all three wetland parameters.The location of the seven test plots were mapped by handheld GPS unit and those locations are shown on the site map (Figure 2). SITE DESCRIPTION This 9.98-acre square shaped property is located in Quilcene, Washington within Jefferson County and is accessed from Center Road, which borders the west side of the property (Photoplate 2).The property is undeveloped, but was logged in 2016. Two dirt roads run through the property,which were created when the property was logged (Photoplates 1 and 2). One road runs from Center Road east across the northern third of the property and the other road runs north to south along the western property boundary.Volunteer species,that often vegetate areas after logging is completed, cover most of the cleared area and forest remains intact along the north, east, and south property boundaries. This property, and the properties immediately adjacent are z oned as RR-10, rural Exhibit 14 - Page 4 of 37 Jared Thacker –Center Road Property Ecological Land Services,Inc. Non-Wetland Determination Report 2 January 16, 2019 residential lots, except for the property on the west side of Center Road which is zoned as CF-80, commercial forest.The properties to the north and east have been developed with single-family homes and other small structures, but are otherwise forested.The topography onsite is fairly level in the western third of the property and slopes down to a terrace that lies near the middle. The east edge of the terrace slopes more steeply down to the east property line. An area of softrush (Juncus effusus),which is a hydrophytic species,has developed across the central terrace and prompted investigation to determine if the area meets the wetland criteria (Photoplates 1, 2, and 3).The shallow ditch alongside this area was also examined to determine if it is a historic feat ure of the property and if it is a regulated stream. VEGETATION Most of the property is dominated by herbaceous species,which have colonized after the property was logged by the previous landowners in 2016. The determination was focused on the central terrace where the vegetation is dominated by wetland plant species. The dominant species in this area includes softrush and velvet grass (Holcus lanatus,FAC). Sawbeak sedge (Carex stipata, OBL), foxglove (Digitalis purpurea,FACU), tapertip rush (Juncus acuminatus,OBL),creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens,FAC), and hairy cat’s ear (Hypochaeris radicata,FACU) were also prevalent across the area but at lower percentages. Other species including Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus,FAC), curly dock (Rumex crispus,FAC), black raspberry (Rubus leucodermis, FACU),daggerleaf rush (Juncus ensifolius,FACW), white clover (Trifolium repens,FAC), common plantain (Plantago major,FAC), English plantain (Plantago lanceolata,FACU), ocean spray (Holodiscus discolor,FACU), and speedwell (Veronica beccabunga,OBL) were also recorded during the field visit but at low percentages or trace amounts. The dominant vegetation found onsite is recorded on the attached wetland determination data forms (Appendix A). The indicator status, following the common and scientific names, indicates how likely a species is to be found in wetlands. Listed from most likely to least likely to be found in wetlands, the indicator status categories are: OBL (obligate wetland)–Almost always occur in wetlands. FACW (facultative wetland)–Usually occur in wetlands, but may occur in non-wetlands. FAC (facultative)–Occur in wetlands and non-wetlands. FACU (facultative upland)–Usually occur in non-wetlands, but may occur in wetlands. UPL (obligate upland)–Almost never occur in wetlands. NI (no indicator)–Status not yet determined. SOILS As referenced on the U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS 2015) website, Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AIC), 0 to 15 percent slopes is mapped across the entirety of the property (Figure 3).Alderwood soils are moderately well drained and are not classified as hydric. Areas mapped as hydric soils do not necessarily mean that an area is or is not a wetland — hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils must all be present to classify an area as a wetland. Exhibit 14 - Page 5 of 37 Jared Thacker –Center Road Property Ecological Land Services,Inc. Non-Wetland Determination Report 3 January 16, 2019 The soil profiles observed in each of the soil holes consisted of a top layer of dark brown (10YR 2/2 to 10YR 3/3)gravelly sandy loam that extended down to 6 to 10 inches depth. These top layers were underlain by medium to light brown (10YR 4/2 to 10YR 5/3) gravel ly sandy loam. Test Plots 6 and 7 also contained an inch of charcoal at 10 inches depth. None of the soil profiles met any of the hydric soil indicators because either they did not meet the requirements for a depleted matrix or no redoximorphic features were present (Photoplates 3 through 7). HYDROLOGY Hydrology was not present at Test Plots 1 and 2 either in the soil or on the surface.There was no evidence of recent or regular water flow or saturation within the soil profiles at these locations. At Test Plots 3 through 7, a high water table was present, but this was likely due to recent heavy rain events. There was no evidence of other wetland hydrology indicators such as oxidized rhizospheres or redoximorphic concentrations,which would indicate that water is present into the growing season NATIONAL WETLAND INVENTORY National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps no wetlands on the property (Figure 4).However, the NWI maps show a Freshwater Pond east of the property. The freshwater pond can be seen from aerial images, but is over 300 feet away from the eastern property boundary. JEFFERSON COUNTY CRITICAL AREAS INVENTORY The Jefferson County GIS website does not map any wetland on this property or the adjacent properties. The nearest mapped wetland is over 500 feet north of this property.During the site visit, ELS biologists confirmed there was no wetland present on this property.Critical area maps are to be used with discretion because they are intended to gather general wetland information about a regional area and therefore are limited in accuracy for smaller areas due to their large scale. CONCLUSIONS NON-WETLAND DETERMINATION Data collected at test plots throughout the area dominated by softrush, confirm that wetland is not present onsite. Though hydrophytic vegetation, and at some test plots wetland hydrology,was present hydric soil matrix chromas were not found at any of the test plots.Soils are often the most conclusive of the three wetland parameters because wetland soils take years to develop whereas hydrology may fluctuate depending on weather and pioneer FACW plants such as softrush may also grow in non-wetland areas. The soil holes revealed dark to medium brown gravelly sandy loam,which did not meet any of the hydric soil indicators due to the absence of any redoximorphic features, organic content, or chromas that qualify as depleted.The soil also indicates that this area is not historically wetland because of the high matrix chroma soils. The high water table a nd surface water within this area is a result of logging operations causing compacted soil conditions. The presence of water is also likely caused by the removal of trees, which take up a lot of water, and now that the tees are gone, the water is present in the soil profile and on the surface. Exhibit 14 - Page 6 of 37 Jared Thacker –Center Road Property Ecological Land Services,Inc. Non-Wetland Determination Report 4 January 16, 2019 There is a shallow ditch along the east side of the soft rush dominated area that provides for drainage water from upslope.The ditch is a man-made channel that does not appear on the 2016 Google Earth image (Figure 6), which shows the property just after the trees were cleared. It appears on the 2017 Google Earth image in its present location. This image shows that the ditch runs along the eastern dirt road and ends abruptly about halfway down the slope. It appears that water discharges into the sloping upland and does not continue southerly into other stream or wetland systems. The ditch is not regulated as a stream because it was a man made feature that was created for drainage of water during the past logging operations.

The dirt road in this photo begins at Center Road and will be the access to the building site. Photo 3 was taken from the same location as Photos 1 and 2 looking south across the property. The dense softrush area ends near the toe of the slope down from the western terrace. Photo 2 is taken from the same location as Photo 1 and looks north along the trail. The area beyond the maple tree on the right is a historic clearing that is now dominated by blackberry thickets. Photo 2 was taken from the same location as Photo 1 looking southeast across the area, which is dominated by softrush. Data was collected throughout this area to determine if it was wetland. The soil data collected in this area indicates that it was historically upland.

This area is densely vegetated by softrush and contains surface water or a high water table but is not wetland because the soil matrix chromas are too high. Photo 9 Test Plot 1 was conducted in the northeast corner of the property. Softrush and other hydrophytic species were growing here but hydric soils and wetland hydrology were absent. Photo 2 is taken from the same location as Photo 1 and looks north along the trail. The area beyond the maple tree on the right is a historic clearing that is now dominated by blackberry thickets. Photo 8 was taken from the same location as Photos 1 through 7 looking northwest across the softrush dominated area.

Soils across the property consisted of gravelly sandy loam and the soil was particularly compacted and rocky in this area. The soil was not depleted and no redoximorphic features were identified so does not meet the hydric soil criteria. Photo 12 was taken at Test Plot 2 showing the soil found there. The soil profile here did not meet the requirements for any of the hydric soil indicators and no wetland hydrology was present. Photo 2 is taken from the same location as Photo 1 and looks north along the trail. The area beyond the maple tree on the right is a historic clearing that is now dominated by blackberry thickets. Photo 11 was taken at Test Plot 2, which is located southeast of Test Plot 1 at the east end of this terrace. Like Test Plot 1, hydrophytic species dominated the vegetation in this area, so a test hole was dug to see if other wetland indicators were present. It is not wetland because it lacks hydric soil and wetland hydrology indicators.

A high water table was present, but the soil was not saturated and the soil was not hydric because it had a high matrix chroma that did not meet the definition of a depleted matrix and no redoximorphic features were present. Photo 18 shows the soil at Test Plot 5, which consisted of gravelly sandy loam with a bright brown soil matrix. The soil was not hydric because of the high chroma and absence of redoximorphic concentrations. Photo 2 is taken from the same location as Photo 1 and looks north along the trail. The area beyond the maple tree on the right is a historic clearing that is now dominated by blackberry thickets. Photo 17 was taken at Test Plot 5 north of Test Plot 4 in the dense softrush area. As with Test Plots 3 and 4, this area is dominated by softrush and a high water table but does not meet the wetland criteria because of the high soil matrix chroma.

Like Test Plots 3, 4, and 5, hydrophytic vegetation was present so a test hole was dug to confirm if wetland hydrology or soils were present. Hydrology was present but the soils have a high matrix chroma that does not meet any of the hydric soil indicators. Photo 21 was taken at Test Plot 7 at the north end of the softrush area. Though not shown the soil profile here was the same as at Test Plot 6 and was not hydric. Photo 2 is taken from the same location as Photo 1 and looks north along the trail. The area beyond the maple tree on the right is a historic clearing that is now dominated by blackberry thickets. Photo 20 shows the soil at Test Plot 6. The soil here was not depleted and did not contain any redoximorphic features. A layer of charcoal was also present in the middle of the profile.

Yes No Hydric Soil Present? Yes No Wetland Hydrology Present? Yes No Remarks: This 9.86 property is located on the east side of Center Road and was logged in 2016. Most of the parcel is cleared and vegetated by pioneer herbaceous and emergent species. A forested area with native vegetation lies along the perimeter of the property. There is a residential property north and undeveloped land to the east and south. The topography is highest in the west then slopes down to the east midway through the property. Test Plot 1 is located in the northeast corner of the cleared area. This area is not under normal circumstances because it was logged recently so lacks natural vegetation and native soil. The area at Test Plot 1 was determined to be upland because hydric soils and wetland hydrology were absent.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS – Attach site map showing sampling point locations, transects, important features, etc. Hydrophytic Vegetation Present? Yes No Is the Sampled Area within a Wetland? Yes No Hydric Soil Present? Yes No Wetland Hydrology Present? Yes No Remarks: This 9.86 property is located on the east side of Center Road and was recently logged in 2016. Most of the parcel is cleared and vegetated by pioneer herbaceous and emergent species. A forested area with native vegetation lies along the perimeter of the property. There is a residential property north and undeveloped land to the east and south. The topography is highest in the west then slopes down to the east midway through the property. Test Plot 5 is located in the middle of the dense softrush area where surface water was present. This area was determined to be upland because hydric soils were absent. This area is not under normal circumstances because it was logged recently so lacks natural vegetation and native soil.
