Non -Wetland Determination Report i June 5, 2019 SIGNATURE PAGE The information and data in this report were compiled and prepared under the supervision and direction of the undersigned. Joanne Bartlett, PWS Senior Biologist I Keelin Lacey v' Biologist Jared Thacker — Center Road Property Non -Wetland Determination Report Ecological Land Services, Inc. June S, 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 defmition, 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 north of 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 zoned as RR -10, rural residential lots, except for the property on the west side of Center Road which is zoned as CF - Jared Thacker — Center Road Property Non -Wetland Determination Report Ecological Land Services, Inc. June 5, 2019 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 feature of the property and if it is a regulated stream. There are wetlands offsite to the east and south that lie within 250 feet of the property boundaries. The wetland offsite to the south (Offsite Wetland 1) is a small, slope wetland that is within a forested community. It meets the criteria for a Category IV slope wetland and requires a 40 -foot buffer. The wetland offsite to the east (Offsite Wetland 2) is a depressional system with the closest boundary about 20 feet from the property line. This wetland meets the criteria for a Category III depressional wetland that requires an 80 -foot buffer. It appears that all activities will be located outside the buffers of the offsite wetlands. 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. Jared Thacker — Center Road Property Non -Wetland Determination Report `a Ecological Land Services, Inc. June 5, 2019 SOILS As referenced on the U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS 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. The soil profiles observed in each of the soil holes consisted of a top layer of dark brown (IOYR 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 lOYR 5/3) gravelly 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 UREAS 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 Jared Thacker — Center Road Property Non -Wetland Determination Report 3 Ecological Land Services, Inc. June 5, 2019 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 and 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. 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. OFFSITE WETLAND CATEGORIZATION AND BUFFER REQUIREMENTS There are wetlands located offsite to the east and south. These wetlands were rated according to Washington State Wetlands Rating System for Western Washington -2014 Update (Rating System) (Hruby 2014). Offsite Wetland 1 is located south of the property and is positioned on sloping terrain. It meets the criteria for a Category IV, slope wetland. Offsite Wetland 2 is located east of the property where it positioned within a depression meets the criteria for a Category III depressional wetland (Table 1; Appendix B). The JCC, Chapter 18.22, specifies buffer based on the wetland category, scores for habitat functions, and the intensity of the land use. Category IV wetlands are the exception in that the buffers are based on category and intensity of the land use. Offsite Wetland 1 meets the criteria for a Category N wetland and requires a 40 -foot buffer because the proposed activities are classified as moderate intensity land use (less than 1 unit/acre). Offsite Wetland 2 meets the criteria for a Category III wetland that scores 7 points for habitat function, which is considered a moderate value. Because the wetland has a moderate score for habitat function and the proposed activities are considered moderate intensity land use, the required buffer is 80 feet. The project involves construction of a single-family home and as indicated on the site plan, all activities are outside the buffer of both offsite wetlands. Table 1.

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 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. 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. 1157 3' Ave., Suite 220A DATE:1/10/2019 Longview, WA 98632 DWN: KL (360) 578-1371 PRJ.

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 7 is located northwest of Test Plot 6 within the dense softrush area where a high water table 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.

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 - go to 2 YES - the wetland class is Tidal Fringe - go to 1.1 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) YES - 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 YES - The wetland class is Flats 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 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 - go to 4 YES - The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 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 YES - The wetland class is Slope 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: Offsite Wetland -1 NO - go to 6 YES - The wetland class is Riverine 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. NO - go to 7 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 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

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 - go to 2 YES - the wetland class is Tidal Fringe - go to 1.1 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) YES - 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 YES - The wetland class is Flats 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 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 - go to 4 YES - The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 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. NQ-goto5 YES - The wetland class is Slope 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: Offsite Wetland -2 NO - go to 6 YES - The wetland class is Riverine 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. NO-goto7 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-goto8 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 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.
