Roth a critical areas analysis was conducted on the 150-acre parcel (#001-192-002) between Blue Sky Drive and Cape George Highlands in Jefferson COlIDty Washington. Plans for the site include the division of the parcel into 15 building sites, installing utilities, and developing access roads. All long plat division applications in Jefferson COlIDty require the delineation and classification of all wetlands, streams, and streamside wetlands (Section 7.4.2.E and 7.4.3). Findings from this report will satisfy all requirements for the critical ~eas assessment for this application. Work was conducted by Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. during January and February 2003. Previously mapped wetlands, streams, and streamside wetlands were identified and delineated at that time. Transects across the site and along drainages identified wetlands that were previously unmapped. All wetlands within Jefferson Connty are subject to requirements outlined in the Jefferson County Unified Development Code (UDC) dated January 1, 2001. Land use restrictions will apply to all future developments associated with this parcel. Description of Site . Legal Description: Parcel #001 192002 T28N R1E . Location: West of Blue Sky Drive off Cape George Road and South of Bridle Way Cape George Highlands (Appendix Sheet # 1: Location and Soils Map) . Soils: Mu Mukilteo Peat, SuB Swantown gravelly sandy loam., and TuC Tukey gravelly loam (Appendix Sheet #1: Location and Soils) . Slopes: 0 to 15% slopes The majority of the subject parcel consists of flat second growth forestland.. Much of the parcel was logged in 1982. Slopes of 12% are located on the easterly portion of the site and are associated with a mapped stream channel. The central feature is a linear 6-acre bog. Ibis area supports v~getation, which can tolerate the acidic soil fonnd within a bog environment. Additional wetlands were identified adjacent to the bog in low-lying depressions and along the stream that is indicated on the Jefferson Critical Areas Map. Ibis stream, as mapped, empties into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Open sedge meadows, cedar bogs, and alder and willow forests Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 1003-000844 I Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 1103 were identified and delineated. The forest outside of the wetlands consists of madrona, grand fir, and Douglas fir with a dense understory of salal and sword fem. All wetlands and drainage areas will be mapped dming a legal survey conducted by Northwest Territories, Inc., Port Angeles Washington (NTI). Applied Methodology The following resources were consulted for this project: . Jefferson County Critical Areas Map Wetlands (1995) and ESA Maps (Stream and Wetlands) . AerialPhotographs (Soil maps pre-1975, and 2000 fly over map) . Jefferson County Unified Development Code (Janumy 1, 2001) . Soil Survey of Jefferson County (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1975) . National Wetland Inventory Map . Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual . National List of Plant Species that occm in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) . Site Maps Provided by Northwest Territories Inc. Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual Fieldwork to determine the actual wetland boundaries was conducted according to the methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual (Department of Ecology #96-94). Chapter 173-22 of the Washington Administrative Code requires that all wetlands within the State of Washington be delineated using this manual. The methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual requires examination of the three parameters for a positive wetland determination: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetatio~ and hydrology. For an area to qualify as ajurisdictional wetland it must have a positive indicator from all three parameters. All wetlands identified using this methodology may be federally regulated, regardless of size. Soils A hydric soil is a soil that forms under conditions of saturatio~ flooding, or ponding lasting long enough dming the growing season to result in an anaerobic upper layer. Hydric soils favor the growth and regeneration ofhydrophytic vegetation. The indicators for this type of soil include low chroma, mottles, gleying, and high organic content within the upper 32 inches of the soil profile. Holes were dug on the site and soil colors (including value and chroma) were recorded in the top 16 inches. Soil colors were analyzed using the Munsell Color Charts (1992). Vegetation Wetland plant species must constitute greater than 51 % of the total vegetation present to meet the qualification as a site domin3ted by hydrophytic vegetation. Dominance of plant species is Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 2 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2.'03 determined by calculating actual aerial cover within a 30-foot radius for trees, a 100foot radius for shrubs, and a 6-foot radius for the herbaceous layer at each data point. Commonly occmring plant species have been rated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) National List of . Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) as to their frequency of occwrence in wetlands and non-wetlands. During the fieldwork, each species was recorded and given~ rating based on indicator status and percent cover. Hydrology Wetland hydrology is defined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual as "areas that are periodically inundated or have soils saturated to the smface at some time during the growing season". Areas must have seasonally inundated or saturated soil at least 12.5% of the growing season. Indicators of hydrology include visual observation of inmulation or soil saturation, water-stained leaves, cracking of the soil surface, and/or sediment deposits. Positive signs of hydrology are often absent during the smnmer and fall months but can be inferred if there are positive indicators of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation. Classification Wetland categorization was determined using the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) Wetland Rating System (publication #91-57 October 1991), which assigns a numerical value to any given wetland according to wetland size, quality of smT01.mding buffers, vegetation diversity, wetland types, and habitat value. Wetlands are rated as entire systems and quite often exceed project boundaries; ratings range from Class I to Class N. Class I is the highest quality wetland and is not replaceable. It therefore receives the largest buffers and highest protection. Streams and Streamside Wetland Definitions According to the DOE Washington State Wetland Rating System, Western Washington (Second Addition DOE Manual) a stream channel is defined as '''a seasonal flow of water that is predominately in one direction and there is a defined bank or series of banks containing the water". Often times, stream and streamside wetlands are intermingled. If a stream has wetland characteristics, no matter how small, then the entire system is rated as a wetland. Both streams and wetlands have associated buffers as defined by the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance. The larger buffer is the one that is applied. Streams types in Jefferson County are determined using the criteria set forth in the Chapter 222- 16-030 WAC. This system categorizes streams according to connectivity oflarger bodies of water, fish bearing potential, use by humans, and whether the stream flow is seasonal or perennial. The ratings range from Type 1, the highest quality to Type 5, a seasonal non fish- bearing stream. Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 1003-000844 3 Olympic Wetland Resources. me.li03 Any vegetated wetland that is contiguous with a stream may be rated separately when it is separated from any other vegetated wetland by a wetland corridor that is less than 50' wide (including the stream channel) for at least 200' (page 59 DOE Manual). Determining Wetland Edges Wetland edges were determined by establishing two data points: one within the wetland which contained positive indicators of all three of the wetland requirements: soils, hydrology, and vegetation, and another data point outside the wetland, where one or all of the requirements were not p~t. Measurements were taken with a Ch31nman IT hip chain. Due to dense brush, measurements indicated on the Findings map in the Appendix are approximate. All delineated wetlands will be outlined by a legal survey conducted by NTI. Findings The Jefferson County Critical Areas Map showed three wetlands and one stream with an associated wetland on the property. NT! maps showed two additional small wetlands. All mapped wetlands were delineated. Transects across the site revealed several additional unmapped wetlands. A total of sixteen wetlands were delineated and flagged at Discovery Ridge Ranch and are described below. Many large sedge/alder wetlands were identified along the Type 5 stream corridor; these have been described as one wetland. All wetlands and drainage corridors were flagged with orange plastic ribbon labeled '''Wetland Bounclari', tied to vegetation at eye level at points 20 to 40 feet apart along the wetland edge. Points are labeled with alpha-numeric codes (AI, A2, A3, etc). A summary of all wetlands including field measurements, classification, and buffer sizes is included the Appendix (Table 1). All data point locations, wetland edges, and buffers are indicated on the Findings Map in the Appendix (Sheet #2). Photographs, Wetland Rating Data Forms, and soil test pit information for each individual wetland is included for each wetland in the Appendix. Soils Jefferson County Soil Survey (page 41) lists soils on site as Mu Mukilteo Peat, SuB Swantown gravelly sandy loam and TuC Tukey gravelly loam. Mukilteo Peat is classified as a hydric soil on the Jefferson County Area Hydric Soil list ( January 1991) and has been mapped only in the central peat wetland (Wetland A). Mukilteo soil series consist of very poorly drained organic soils, within glacial basins. The soil consists of peat formed by the decomposition of the plant remains. This peat bog has no apparent outlet and contain soils low in pH, supporting mosses and plant communities that can adapt to acid soils. Surrounding the central peat wetland is a band of soil mapped as Swantown gravelly sandy loam. lbis soil consists of somewhat poorly drained gravelly soils that have a very slowly permeable cemented layer at 18 to 24 inches. These soils are also formed in glacial till but support trees and Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 4 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2'03 shrubs. The remainder of the parcel has been mapped as Tukey gravelly loam. These soils also have been compacted by glaciers, and have a very slowly permeable cemented layer at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. Soil variations are often identified within areas mapped with non-hydric soils in depressions or disturbed areas. A lateral flow of seasonal stormwater water accumulates in low-lying areas and soils are altered and wetlands develop. This is common in level sites when the cement layer is within 20 inches of the surface; even a slight depression will accumulate ponded water. In addition to the data points recorded, numerous soil test pits were dug with a soil auger to determine the exact edge of the wetlands. The extra soils tests were conducted if the vegetation did not constitute a cover of 100% wetland tolerant species. Soils will indicate the historical presence of water whereas plants can vary over a 20 to 30 year time span when there is a change in hydrology. In all cases the plant cover must consist of at least 51 % hydrophytic species for the area to qualify as a wetland. Vegetation Vegetation diversity is very high throughout the site. This environmental assessment took place during the winter months and some of the herbaceous species were dormant and therefore not recorded. Species identified on site include 9 trees species, 12 shrub species and 18 herbaceous species. Of the 39 species identified, 23 species are water dependant or water tolerant. The presence of invasive non-native species on the ISO-acres is minimal and identified only along old logging roads. A summary of plants located at each individual wetland during the January and February assessment is included in the Appendix (Table 2). Hydrology Water only needs to be present 20 days of the growing season for an area to qualify as a wetland. The growing season is defined by the Jefferson County soil survey as March 12 to November 25-:- Hydrology must be present for 12.5% (20 days) of these 258 days. The growing season is also defined by soil temperature at 19.7 inches below the soil surface being higher than biological 0 (50C or 400F). During this survey (conducted in January and February), soil temperatures were taken daily they were always above biological 0 (410 F). Therefore this fieldwork was conducted during the growing season. Hydrology was present in all of the delineated wetlands in the form of ponded water, surface saturation, and saturated soils within the top 16 inches of tests pits. Water dependant plants confirm the regular presence of water. The source of hydrology appears to be the lateral flow of stormwater runoff. Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 5 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2.'03 Port Townsend and Jefferson Connty have been experiencing drought conditions; rainfall has been below normal for the past 3 years as shown in Table 3 included in the Appendix. Never the less all wetlands examined still contained some form of water. These wetlands have the capacity to retain greater quantities of water during average and above average rainfall years. Classification All wetlands have been rated according to the DOE rating system. Of the sixteen wetlands identified one is a Class I wetlands, twelve are Class II wetlands, and fom are Class III wetlands. Buffers are assigned to each wetland and are 150', 100' and 50' for Class I, II and III, respectively. All vegetation should remain intact within associated wetland and stream buffers. All buffers are measmed perpendicular from the delineated edge (Jefferson Connty Unified Development Code Jan 1,2001 3-30 Buffers Table 3-4). Wetland A Wetland A is a Class I wetland due to its large size, mapped hydric peat soils, high quality, and the presence of a bog system. This wetland is indicated on the Jefferson Connty Critical Areas Maps. Protective buffers assigned to Class I wetlands are 150 feet. Wetland A is the central feature on the parcel and is approximately 6 acres (120' X 200'). The wetland/upland edge is distinct; the open area of the bog is defined by the dry forested upland. There does not appear to be any outlet for this wetland and this wetland does not extend into the forested areas. The area has been flagged Al through A85. Data points and soil test pits confirmed the presence of hydric soils; soils were low-chroma the entire depth of the soil test. At Data Point #1 the soil layer was black (10YR 211). This hydric soil was also saturated at the surface; the depth to free water in the pit was 6". At Data Point #2, upslope from Data Point #1, soils were dry; colors changed to a higher chroma of dark brown and a strong brown (10YR 2/2 and 10YR 3/2 no mottles). Several upland islands exist within the wetland near the southern bonndary. Ponded water up to 10" deep was observed in the eastern portion of Wetland A. Saturated soils were identified in all test pits. Few trees are able to survive the acidic bog conditions; several cedars were observed struggling to grow in the open area of the bog. The main shrub layer is spirea, with an nnderstory of sedges and cattails. Plants identified, which are unique to a bog environment, include Labrador tea and bog cranberry. Cotton-grass has been observed in this bog by Jerry Gorsline (past president of the Washington Native Plant Society) but was not observed during the dormant winter season. A summary of all vegetation fonnd in Wetland A is included in the Appendix (Table 2). Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 1003-000&44 6 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2/03 Class I wetlands are considered "the cream of the crop" due to their complexity, biological diversity and relative pristine condition. Bogs are not replaceable, they are rare in Washington; all Oass I wetlands and buffers should receive the highest protection. Wetland B Wetland B qualifies as a Class IT wetland (30 points) with associated 100' buffers. It lies approximately 80' west of Wetland A and possibly drains into Wetland A. The forested area between the wetlands appears to be an unvegetated drainage corridor, which was dry during this survey. The size of Wetland B is approximately 1,4 acre (field measurements 150' X 80') and was flagged B 1 though B 13 around the perimeter. Data points and soil test pits confirmed the presence of hydric soils. At Data Point # 1 the soil colors are black to dusky red (10YR 2/1 and 2.5YR 4/2 with mottles). This hydric soil was also saturated throughout the test pit. At Data Point #2 outside the wetland, soils were dry; colors changed to a higher chroma of strong brown (7.5YR 4/6 with no mottles). Wetland B consists of obligate wetland vegetation with a distinct upland edge. Wetland vegetation consists of pacific willow and salmonberry, with an understory of sedges and water parsley. No standing water was observed in Wetland B but the soil was damp and saturated within the test pits. Wetland BX Wetland BX is a Class IT (31 points) wetland located 100 feet north of Wetland B. The wetlands are separated by second growth forest. This open sedge meadow is bordered by pacific willows and cedars and is approximately 'l1 acre in size (field measurements 296' X 80'). This wetland is not shown on the Jefferson County Critical Areas Maps but is indicated on the maps provided by NTI. Wetland BX extends to the west via a corridor 10 to 20 feet wide by 254 feet long, which _ connects to Wetland CX. Vegetation identified includes water parsley and sedges that require a constant source of water. The wetland and corridor were flagged and marked BXl through BX25. Surface ponding was observed to a depth of 3 inches and soil saturation existed throughout the site. Wetland soil colors were consistent with surrounding wetlands and were black in color (10YR 2/1). Wetland C Wetland C, a Yz acre (90' X 256') wetland, parallels the old logging road that accesses the southern portion of the site. This wetland is visible from the road and lies directly north it. Wetland C is a Class IT wetland (31 points), consists of an open sedge meadow within a depression surrounded by an upland forest of evergreen trees. Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 7 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2/03 No standing water was observed in the test pits but soils were moist and 100% of the vegetation was wetland tolerant. Soils were hydric revealing the long-term presence of standing water (lOYR 2/1 and 10YR 3/2 with mottles). This wetland was flagged C1 through C14. Wetland ex Wetland CX is a Class IT wetland (30 points) and parallels Wetland C. This linear wetland is separated by 140 feet of second growth forest north of Wetland C. Wetland CX is connected to Wetland BX via a drainage corridor. Ponded water to 4 inches in depth was measmed dming the assessment. Dominant vegetation consists of spirea and sedges amongst numerous standing and downed snags. It eventually tapers to a drainage channel, leaving the property on the western b01mdary and flows onto adjacent DNR property. The neighboring property has been recently clear-cut. This wetland is approximately 1/3 acre and measmes 14' to 90' wide and 350' long. Soil colors were dark brown in the wetland (lOYR 3/1). This wetland was labeled CXl through CXI7. Wetland D Wetland D is a Class IT wetland (34 points) that is bisected by the old logging road that accesses the site to the south. This wetland is mostly within a forest cover of alder and willow containing a complex understory of salmonberry, spirea, and sedge. Wetland tolerant vegetation is intermingled with standing and downed snags. The surrounding upland consists of sparse grand firs and cedar with a sword fern understory. Along the logging road and within Wetland D the invasive non-native species of reed canarygrass was observed. This is the only location were this grass was observed growing on the subject property. The wetland continues to the north towards Wetland A with a varied irregular edge. A small drainage channel without wetland vegetation possibly directs overflow from Wetland D to Wetland A dming high water periods. The overall size of this wetland is approximately 2 acres (300' X 400'); it has been labeled D1 through 040. No standing or ponded water existed within this wetland but surface saturation was observed. Wetland soils changed from black to a dark grayish brown with abundant orange mottles (1 OYR 2/1 and 10YR 4/2 with mottles). Wetland E Wetland E is a linear Class IT wetland (33 points) running from south to north. This wetland is mapped on the Jefferson Critical Areas Maps. It is located in the northeast comer of the parcel and is bisected by the access path 280' west of the intersection of Blue Hill Court and Blue Sky Drive. This wetland is approximately 1.5 acres in size (130' to 20 · wide and 940'long) and is Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 1003-000844 8 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 1/03 labeled El through E50. The wetland terminates to the south near a horse pasture on neighboring property. Ponded water to depths of 6 inches, surface saturation, and water in the test pits was recorded during the delineation. The soils were black the entire depth of the test pits in the wetland and had inclusions of peat pockets (10YR 2/1, peat like soils lOYR 3/6). The vegetation layers are diverse and include cedar, alder, willow, hawthorn, gooseberry, spirea, salmonberry, sedges, and water parsley. Open meadows, decaying standing and downed logs, and a tangled forest are present in Wetland E. Wetland F Wetland F is a Class IT wetland (38 points) that is large (over 5 acres) and extends off the subject parcel to the north. It is at the northern most section of the property and is accessed off Bridle Way in Cape George Highlands (offSaddle Drive). It is approximately 356 feet wide when measured along the northern property boundary and at least 230 feet south on subject property. The wetland consists of a mature alder forest with a wide-open sedge meadow. At the southern edge this wetland changes to a swampy overgrown tangle of willows. Obligate wetland vegetation was dominant in all the low-lying areas. A distinct up gradient defined the wetland edge as the understory vegetation changed from a sedge meadow to a thick sword fern layer. The edge was flagged Fl through F36: it was not delineated beyond property boundaries. Black soils were recorded in the soil test pits (lOYR 2/1). Wetland G Wetland G is a Class IT wetland (23 points) that was mapped on the Jefferson County Critical Areas Map. This wetland is an open scrub/shrub wetland with no trees and sparse understory. The vegetation consists mainly of spirea, salmonberry, and young willows. This wetland is nearly circular and lies between Wetland F and Wetland A. It falls within a distinct depression with a 2 to 3 foot rise to the surrounding forested grand fir edge upland. This wetland is approximately one acre (200' X 225') and consists of 100% obligate or water dependant wetland vegetation. Surface saturation was observed within all soil test pits and soils within the wetland were black (lOYR 2/1). This wetland was labeled Gl through G15. Wetland H Wetland H is a small Class III wetland (14 points), less than 1/8 of an acre (136' X 30') in size. This wetland is 140' south of the northern logging road near the western boundary and could be part of a drainage channel. Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 9 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2103 Soils were damp and saturated with coloration from black to very dark gray (10YR 2/1 and 10YR 3/1). Wetland vegetation is present; willows, salmonbeny, and sedges dominate the swale. This site was flagged HI through. H7. Wetland I Wetland I was identified 270 feet south of the northern access road dming a transect of the western portion of the site. This wetland is a complex, unusual tangle of cedars tn.m.ks that could be described as an old cedar bog. It is a Class IT wetland (34 points). Along the edges of this wetland there are sedge meadows but within the thick overlapping logs there is little vegetation growing on the dark forest floor. Large tn.m.ks are growing out of cedar logs that are horizontal and elevated. The photograph in the Appendix shows an example of a downed tree that is 4 feet above the ground with vigorous tn.m.ks growing straight up out of it. The soils were saturated throughout the site and the only way to cross the wetland was to crawl through the tangles under and over the mossy logs. As observed in many of the other wetlands, ferns were able to survive on hummocks or on rotten logs elevated above the wetland floor. This wetland is approximately 50 feet wide and continues to the west, off site onto the neighboring DNR land. Soils were black to very dark gray (10YR 2/1 and 10YR 3/1). This wetland was flagged 11 through 114. Wetland J Wetland J was identified 1,000 feet south of the northern access road dming a transect of the western portion of the site. This Class IT wetland (34 points) consists of an alder forest with a dense ooderstory of salmonbeny and sedges. This wetland is approximately 45 feet north and west of wetland ex. The soils were saturated throughout the flat open wetland and ponded 6" to 8"deep in several locations. The wetland is approximately 260 feet wide and continues off site to the west, onto the neighboring DNR land. Soils were black to very dark gray (lOYR 2/1 and 10YR 3/1). This wetland was flagged J1 through 130. Wetland K Wetland K is a small Class ill roadside wetland (16 points) in the southern portion of the site. It is less than 'l4 acre, measuring 105 feet parallel to the road and continuing downslope for 50 feet. Soils were saturated throughout and water was measured at 10" in the soil test pit. This wetland is approximately 50 feet wide and lies within a depression. Sedges and willows were identified in this wetland. Soils were black (10YR 2/1). This wetland was flagged Kl through K12. Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 10 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2/03 Wetland L Wetland L is a small Class ill wetland (14 points) 153 feet south of the northern logging road. It lies in a distinct swale that could be a drainage channel and logging roads. It is less than 'l4 acre and measures 150 feet long and from 20 to 30 feet wide. Soils were damp throughout the swale; no water was measured in the soil test pits. Soils were hydric and contained abnndant.mottles (2.5 Y 4/2 with mottles). This wetland consists of a sedge/ alder plant community. lbis wetland was flagged Ll through L12. Wetland P and PX (connected wetlands) Wetland P is indicated as a small wetland on the maps provided by NT! and is located along the eastern bonndary in the southern portion of the parcel. During the fieldwork, Wetland P was fonnd to be much larger, extending through the forested areas and connecting to the Type 5 stream mapped on the Jefferson Critical Areas Map. The stream and associated wetland are labeled PX. The Type 5 stream has a series oflarge associated forested wetlands. Collectively, the wetland system qualifies as a Class II wetland with 100' buffers. Once the final surveying is complete the narrow sections may qualify as a stream channel rather than wetlands and receive a 50-foot buffer. Surface saturation and a distinct upland edge were observed within the channeled and open wetlands. Wetland soils colors were consistent with adjacent wetlands (1 OYR and 10YR 2/1 with peat inclusions) and supported a matrix ofhydrophytic vegetation including gooseberry, sedges, salmonberry, willow, alder, and cedar. Water was not flowing in the Type 5 stream during this field assessment. The mapped wetland is labeled PI through P25; the connecting stream and associated wetlands are labeled PXl to PX85. lbis stream channel continues off site to the north and eventually empties into the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Wetland RSW Wetland RSW is a small (40' X 55') Class ill wetland (15 points) downslope and to the north of the logging road in the southern section of the parcel. Alders, willows, and salmonberry are the dominant vegetation. As the topography flattens, sedges and water parsley are the dominant vegetation. Soils were hydric in the test pits (10YR 3/1 and 10YR 4/2 with mottles 10YR 4/4) and the edges were flagged RSW1 through RSW8. Discovery Ridge Ranch Report File Number 2003-000844 11 Olympic Wetland Resources. Inc. 2!03 Summary This report presents findings from the environmental assessment of all critical areas on parcel #001 192002 know as Discovery Ridge Ranch owned by Thomas E. Roth. Sixteen wetlands were delineated and flagged on the subject parcel. One wetland is a Class I wetland with ISO-foot buffers, twelve are Class II wetlands with 1 00- foot buffers, and four are Class III wetlands with 50-foot buffers. All Type 5 stream channels receive a 50-foot buffer. Several of the wetlands were connected by drainage corridors or previously mapped stream channels. All wetlands will be surveyed by NTI to indicate the exact location on the parcel. This large densely vegetated site has a complex matrix of wetlands. The central feature is a 6- acre peat bog. Other wetland types represented are open sedge meadows, forested alder wetlands, scrubl shrub wetlands, and cedar bogs. The mapped Type 5 stream opens to several wetlands as it crosses the property and eventually drains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Many of the wetlands on property boundaries extend off site. All wetlands contained positive indicators of hydric soils, hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation. The final authority over this wetland determination rests with the governmental agencies; restriction will apply to developments associated with this parcel. If there are finther questions or planning requirements for this project please do not hesitate to call. Dixie Llewellin Principal Biologist, Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc.
