Non-Wetland Determination Report 1 November 18, 2019 INTRODUCTION Ecological Land Services, Inc. (ELS)was contracted by Zane Testerman to conduct a critical areas reconnaissance to determine presence of streams and/or wetlands for the property located at 9224 Flagler Road,Jefferson County Tax Parcel Number 021204017,in Nordland,Washington. This property is located in a portion of Section 20, Township 30 North, Range 1 East of the Willamette Meridian,in Nordland,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 six test plots in areas where potential hydrophytic vegetation was observed (Figure 2).The data collected onsite revealed no onsite wetlands, however, a long, linear wetland begins just offsite to the north.The southern tip was delineated where it lies within 32 feet of this property.The six test plots and the offsite wetland boundary were located with a handheld GPS unit to provide their locations on the site map (Figure 2). SITE DESCRIPTION This 9.73-acre long rectangular property is located on the east side of Flagler Road near the north end of Marrowstone Island (Figure 1).The property is undeveloped and forested except for an existing dirt road that begins at the southwest corner and winds across the property to the east line (Photoplates 1 and 2).There are two clearings along the road where the trees were removed,and grass is currently growing (Photoplate 3).Historic logging left some areas of dense shrubs that include potential wetland and definitively upland plant species (Photoplate 4, 5, and 6).The terrain is level to undulating with shallow depressions forming in the lower undulations.Adjacent development includes residential on large lots to the north and west, undeveloped land to the east, and a small RV park to the south (Photoplate 1).There is a long, linear wetland offsite to the north Zane Testerman –Flagler Road Property Ecological Land Services,Inc. Non-Wetland Determination Report 2 November 18, 2019 that ends about 32 feet from the property line (Photoplate 7). The wetland is a forested system with a dense understory of slough sedge.It is a depressional system with no outlet, although a stream is mapped from the wetland and across this property. A stream was not identified on the property during the reconnaissance site visit. VEGETATION The forested vegetation on the property is composed of deciduous and coniferous species that include Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii,FACU)and Scouler’s willow (Salix scouleriana, FAC). The shrub layer is sparse in some areas and dense in others having developed in previously logged areas.The shrub species recorded at the test plots include Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana, FAC),Hooker willow (Salix hookeriana, FACW), western crabapple (Malus fusca, FACW), salal (Gaultheria shallon, FACU),salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, FAC),snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus, FACU), red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium, FACU), and holly (Ilex aquifolium, FACU).The herbaceous layer is dominated mostly by sword fern (Polystichum munitum, FACU) and trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus, FACU)but there are several areas where slough sedge (Carex obnupta,OBL)dominates. The clearings are generally dominated by maintained grasses. Despite the dominance by FAC, FACW, and OBL species, the hydrophytic vegetation criterion is not met at any of the test plots conducted on the property. 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 Natural Resources Conservation Service website (NRCS 2019),Whidbey gravelly sandy loam (WhC), 0 to 15 percent slopes is mapped across the entirety of the property (Figure 4).Whidbey soils are well-drained, gravelly soils that have a very slowly permeable cemented layer at 20 to 40 inches on glacial terraces.These soils formed in glacial till under vegetation that consists mainly of Douglas-fir, western red cedar, willow, rhododendron, and salal. Because this soil is well-drained, it is not classified as hydric (NRCS 2016).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 fine sandy loam to sandy silt loams.The subsurface layer of most profiles consisted of compacted sandy loam.The surface layer of the soil profiles had black to grayish brown (10YR 2/1 to 10YR 3/1)matrix chromas with no redoximorphic features observed.One of the six profiles had a surface layer with a reddish Zane Testerman –Flagler Road Property Ecological Land Services,Inc. Non-Wetland Determination Report 3 November 18, 2019 brown (10YR 4/4)matrix chroma in a gravelly sandy loam soil.The subsurface layers were for the most part composed of compacted sandy loam that had depleted to brown (10YR 4/2 to 10YR 5/3) matrix chromas.Non-distinct redoximorphic concentrations were observed in five of the six profiles but they are either within a matrix that is not depleted (10YR 4/3, 2.5Y 4/3 and 10YR 5/3), or the features are not present at the appropriate percentages.None of these profiles have hydric soil indicators and are therefore,determined to be non-hydric.Distinct redoximorphic concentrations were observed in the Test Plot 4 profile with reddish brown (10YR 4/6) chromas. The features were present at appropriate percentages within in a depleted soil,so this profile meets hydric soil indicator A11 (Depleted below dark matrix). HYDROLOGY Hydrology was not present in or around any of the soil holes conducted at the six test plots .There was no evidence of wetland hydrology (surface scouring, water lines, oxidized rhizospheres,or other primary of secondary hydrology indicators) in these areas.Because there was no hydrology or evidence of hydrology, the wetland hydrology criterion is not met. Test Plot 4 was conducted in the mapped stream across the property where no channel or indicators of water flow were observed. NATIONAL WETLAND INVENTORY National Wetlands Inventory (NWI 2019) maps a riverine wetland/stream across east half of the property and begins at the southern tip of the offsite wetland, which is also mapped (Figure 5).A stream was not observed in the mapped location and the wetland is actually located closer to this property than shown.The NWI maps should be used with discretion because they are used to gather general wetland information about a regional area and therefore are limited in accuracy for smaller areas because of their large scale. JEFFERSON COUNTY CRITICAL AREAS INVENTORY The Jefferson County jMAP mapping shows the wetland and stream in the area mapped on the NWI (Figure 6).During the site visit, ELS biologists determined that no onsite riverine wetland or stream system exists in the mapped location. In addition, the wetland mapped offsite is closer to the property than shown (Figure 2).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 property confirm the absence of wetlands as indicated on the critical area maps.All but one of the six test plots lacked hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland hydrology indicators so were determined to be non-wetland.The soil at Test Plot 4 was determined to be hydric because of the depleted matrix and redoximorphic features. However, there were no positive indicators of hydrophytic vegetation and wetland hydrology,and the area was determined to be non-wetland. Additionally,Test Plot 4 was located in the stream mapped across the east half of the property, however, a channel was not observed and there were no indicators of flowing water.The reconnaissance elsewhere on the property including the mapped Zane Testerman –Flagler Road Property Ecological Land Services,Inc. Non-Wetland Determination Report 4 November 18, 2019 stream area,also did not reveal a stream channel or evidence water flow.Therefore,a stream is not present on this property as mapped. OFFSITE WETLAND CATEGORIZATION The offsite wetland comes within 32 feet of the north property line and extends northerly tow ard Fort Flagler State Park (Figure 2).The critical areas maps indicate a stream exiting the south end of the wetland and flowing south across this property,but no stream was observed during the onsite reconnaissance.The wetland is a depressional system that is dominated by forested and scrub/shrub vegetation with no surface water outlet.The wetland was rated according to Washington State Wetlands Rating System for Western Washington-2014 Update (Rating System) (Hruby 2014)based on functions (Appendix B).The offsite wetland meets the criteria for a Category IV system scoring 14 points because it does not have the opportunity to function for water quality and hydrologic functions (both score 4). It scores highest for habitat functions (6 points)because it has the potential, opportunity, and value to provide habitat. CRITICAL AREA BUFFER REQUIREMENTS The JCC Chapter 18.22.330 specifies wetland buffers based on wetland category, proposed land use intensity, and scores for habitat on the rating form.Because the wetland is a Category IV system,the buffers are based on the category and the intensity of the land use.The proposed project is considered a moderate intensity land use because there will be no more than two homes and the property is greater than 1 acre in size.The buffer for the offsite wetland is 40 feet so extends only 8 feet onto the property (Figure 2).The stream mapped across this property was not observed and it assumed to be incorrectly mapped.A stream buffer is therefore not required.

NO –go to 2 YES –the wetland class is Tidal Fringe –go to 1.11.1 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 If your 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.Groundwaterandsurfacewaterrunoffare NOT sources of water to the unit. NO –go to 3 YES –The wetland class is Flats If your 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 anyplants 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 very gradual),The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional)and usually comes fromseeps.It may flow subsurface,as sheetflow,or in a swale without distinct banks,The water leaves the wetland without being impounded. NO –go to 5 YES –The wetland class is Slope NOTE:Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small andshallowdepressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually <3 ft diameter and less than 1 ftdeep).5.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 thatstream or river,The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years. Wetland name or number Wetland Rating System for Western WA:2014 UpdateRatingForm–Effective January 1,2015 4 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 notflooding6.Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to thesurface,at some time 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 Depressional7.Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbankflooding?The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches.The unit seems to bemaintainedbyhighgroundwater in the area.The wetland may be ditched,but has no obvious naturaloutlet.NO –go to 8 YES –The wetland class is Depressional8.Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGMclasses.For example,seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain,or a smallstreamwithin a Depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides.GO BACK AND IDENTIFYWHICHOFTHEHYDROLOGICREGIMESDESCRIBEDINQUESTIONS1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENTAREASINTHEUNIT(make a rough sketch to help you decide).Use the following table to identify theappropriateclass to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within thewetland unit being scored. NOTE:Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% ormore of the total area of the wetland unit being rated.If the area of the HGM class listed in column 2is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of thetotal 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 If you are still unable to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland,or if you have more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.
