Dear Thomas and Naomi: Ecological Land Services, Inc. (ELS) was contracted to verify the boundary of Wetland B, which was delineated by Westech Company of Port Angeles, Washington, and the results were reported in the Wetland Delineation 345 Casselary Road, Discovery Bay, Washington, Assessor’s Parcel # 902-233-004, prepared September 2017.ELS biologists visited the property on January 11, 2019 to document the conditions of the wetland and determine if the wetland boundaries were accurately identified in the report. Data was collected and compiled onto the attached data forms to document the conditions observed during the ELS site visit.The wetland category and buffer requirements were not re-examined as part of the verification as this information appeared accurate within the report. Westech Delineation-July/August 2017 The Westech Company delineation was conducted in July and August of 2017 and two wetlands were identified, Wetlands A and B. Wetland A is located near the existing homesite where it is situated between the main entrance road and driveway to the homesite. Wetland B is located west of Wetland A where it is mostly situated north of the main farm road (continuation of the main entrance road to property). Both wetlands were identified as slope, emergent, saturated only/occasionally flooded systems that met the Category IV wetland rating criteria.The delineation of Wetland A was not verified because of its position between the two roads and the data collected by Westech during the August 4,2017 delineation provided a sufficient measure of confidence that the boundaries were accurate without additional field verification or data collection. Wetland B as identified in the Westech report is located on sloping terrain that becomes steeper as it approaches the main farm road.The delineation extended east and west along the farm road and was confined to the ditch (Figure 2).It also included an area on the south side of the farm road. The report prepared by Westech documents the conditions observed during the 2017 delineation and states that the vegetation was un-grazed and composed of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, FAC),timothy grass (Phleum pratense, FAC),and soft rush (Juncus effusus, FACW). Data was collected in the wetland and upland at the northeast corner of Wetland B.The 2017 delineation report states that the boundary around the remainder of Wetland B was determined Thomas and Naomi Horner Misty Clover Farm June 5, 2019 Ecological Land Services, Inc. Page 2 of 3 based on vegetation and soils but no additional data plots were obtained which would verify the boundary around the remainder of the wetland. Precipitation data was collected from the NOAA Online Weather Data (NOWdata- https://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=sew)at the Quilcene 2 SW station indicated that there had been only 0.06 inches of precipitation between July 4, 2017 and August 4,2017. Prior to July 4th, there was 1.30 inches of precipitation that occurred in June. Normal precipitation for the months of July and August was 0.63 inches and 0.94 inches, respectively.While it is not known if a drought declaration was made for this area during this time period, there was below normal precipitation in the month preceding the August 4th delineation visit. Therefore, the delineation relying on vegetation alone (outside the single pair of wetland and upland test plots) would likely result in false positive data which resulted in a larger area of wetland being identified. ELS Delineation-January 2019 As a result of the onsite observations by ELS in January of 2019, the Wetland B boundaries examined and the data that was collected indicated that the wetland w as much smaller than delineated in August 2017.Because the delineation was done during the dry period of 2017 and was based mostly on wetland vegetation dominance,it appears that areas not meeting the wetland criteria were included in the recorded wetland boundaries for Wetland B. The delineation by ELS biologists was conducted in the winter months, which facilitated a more accurate delineation based on observations of all three wetland parameters (vegetation, hydrology, and hydric soils).The wetland was re-delineated based on data collected in nine test plots in and around Wetland B,and the findings within these test plots led to the delineation of a much smaller wetland area than had previously been identified (Figure 2).The data was compiled within the data forms in Attachment #1 and photos of the test plots and wetland area are included on the photoplates in Attachment #2. In comparison to the original Westech delineation, the new Wetland B boundary was reduced slightly at the north end while the entire southern half, including the ditch area south of the farm road,did not meet wetland criteria. Data was collected in the upland around the north half of the wetland at Test Plots 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 with Test Plot 8 located downslope of the wetland and Test Plot 9 located in the ditch south of the farm road. The data collected in these upland areas revealed the absence of hydric soil conditions despite presence of depleted matrix chromas in some of the profiles and redoximorphic concentrations in others (Attachment #1).Hydrology was present in many of the upland soil holes but generally below 9 inches in the profile. The presence of water in these holes can be attributed to the precipitation and snow occurring in the region in late 2018 and early 2019.Overall, water depth in the upland test plots was below that observed in the wetland plots.There was no water present either in the soil hole or on the surface where Test Plot 9 was conducted.Several exploratory soil holes were conducted outside of the sampled areas to document the conditions,but this data was not recorded. Both the wetland and upland areas were dominated by similar vegetation communities that are frequently grazed. The wetland area was observed to have greater dominance by hydrophytic plant species whereas, the upland areas contained hydrophytic and non-hydrophytic plant species. The pasture grasses observed within the wetland and upland include orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata, FACU), tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus, FAC), timothy (Phleum pratense, FAC), velvet grass (Holcus lanatus, FAC), and an unidentified species of bentgrass (Agrostis sp.,FAC). In addition, Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, FAC), trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus, Thomas and Naomi Horner Misty Clover Farm June 5, 2019 Ecological Land Services, Inc. Page 3 of 3 FACU), evergreen blackberry (Rubus laciniatus, FACU), horsetail (Equisetum arvense, FAC), hazelnut (Corylus cornuta, FACU), sword fern (Polystichum munitum, FACU), bedstraw (Galium aparine, FACU),and Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense, FAC) were also observed in both upland and wetland areas.The wetland vegetation criterion was met at three of the seven upland test plots because of the dominance by FAC species and despite the amount of cover provided by some FACU species. Conclusions The ELS 2019 delineation was conducted during a time of year that allowed a more accurate observation of all three wetland parameters which resulted in the reduction in the size of Wetland B.The data collected indicates that the soils and vegetation criterion we re not met within areas identified as wetland during the 2017 delineation by Westech. The categorization of the wetland was not revisited as part of this delineation because it was completed using the current methodology and appears to accurately reflect the wetland category of Wetland B. Wetland B requires a 40-foot buffer because it is a Category IV and future activities proposed on the property qualifies as moderate-intensity land use.

This area was delineated as wetland by the previous consultant. During the January 11, 2019 site visit, this area was determined to be non-wetland due to the high matrix chroma soils and lack of hydrology. Photo 18 was taken along the main farm road looking east. The slope to the left, where a hole was being dug to observe the soil conditions. The area did not contain hydric soil characteristics even though it was dominated by soft rush. 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 of the vegetation observed at Test Plot 9. This area is heavily grazed so the grasses could not be identified.The vegetation includes hairy cat’s ear and western red cedar/Douglas fir seedlings.
