The Jefferson County Critical Area map and National Wetland Inventory indicates the
presence of a Non -Fish Bearing Perennial Stream (Type "Np") and fish bearing pond outside
of the project site (Figure 1 and Figure 2). A potential wetland along the eastern portion of the
project site was also mapped (Figure 1). Wetland Biologist Paul Ruben, with Marine Surveys
& Assessments (MSA), was contacted by Garrett Larsen to conduct a wetland determination
on Cameron Drive, Port Ludlow Washington (Parcel # 995600003). A site visit of the project
site was conducted on August 6th and August 15, 2018 to substantiate the buffer extent from
Ordinary High -Water Mark (OHWM) of a nearby pond, stream, and absence or presence of a
wetland. A site visit was also conducted to demonstrate the presence of fish in the stream
offsite of the parcel. The pond buffer extended 50 feet, entering the project site on the western
border (Figure 4.). Multiple juvenile cutthroat trout were identified within the offsite stream,
which designates this stream as Fish Bearing (Type "F"). The Type "F" stream buffer was
considered physically separated and functionally isolated due to an existing structure and
driveway between the stream and project site (Chapter 18.22.095 Physical separation —
Functional isolation). The absence of hydric vegetation and hydrology determined that no
wetland was present on the project site.
Parcel # 995600003 is located approximately 0.5 miles west of Paradise Bay Rd in Port
Ludlow at Section 21, Township 28N, Range IE. The parcel predominantly consisted of
upland tree stands and horticultural grass. The parcel gradually slopes east from 175 feet
elevation along the western border to 185 feet along the eastern border. The soils listed on the
project site include AIC (Alderwood gravelly sandy loam) and Bk (Belfast silt loam, wet
variant). AIC (Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 0 to 15% slopes), accounts for 87% of the
project site. Alderwood gravelly sandy loam soil is moderately well -drained, has a very low
to moderately low capacity to transit water to the most limiting layer (0.00 to 0.06 in/hr),
depth to water table between 18 to 36 inches, no frequency of flooding or ponding, and is not
listed as a hydric soil (Figure 3). Bk (Belfast silt loam, wet variant), accounts for nearly 13%
of the project site. Belfast silt loam soil is poorly drained, has a moderately high capacity to
transmit water to the most limiting layer (0.20 to 0.57 in/hr), and is listed as a hydric soil
(Figure 3). Without associated hydric vegetation or hydric indicators, it was determined that
the eastern portion of the project site was not wetland.
The dominant species throughout the project site consisted of Western Red Cedar (Thuja
plicata), Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), Red Huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium),
Sword Fern (Polystichum munitum), and English Ivy (Hedera helix). The canopy included
Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock. The shrub layer included Red Huckleberry and
Beaked Hazelnut (Corylus cornuta). The herbaceous layer included Sword Fern, English Ivy,
and Trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus).
The County Critical Area map indicates a Fish Bearing pond west of the project site, within
the Port Ludlow Golf Course. MSA was informed by the Port Ludlow Golf Course that this
specific pond was not stalked with recreational fish. The pond buffer extended 50 feet,
entering the project site on the western border (Figure 4). The pond is directly connected to
the outflow of a Fish Bearing Stream (Type "17"). This designation was given following a site
visit that confirmed presence of multiple cutthroat trout in the stream on August 15, 2018. A
juvenile cutthroat trout (55mm in length) was retrieved as evidence (Appendix A). The Type
"I"' 150 -foot stream buffer was determined to be physically separated and functionally
isolated due to a structure and associated driveway between the stream and project site.
According to Chapter 18.22 Jefferson County Critical Areas code:
18.22.095 Physical separation — Functional isolation
Buffer areas which are both physically separated and functionally isolated from a critical area
and do not protect the critical area from adverse impacts shall be excluded from buffers
otherwise required by this chapter. Functional isolation can occur due to existing public roads,
structures, vertical separating, or any other relevant physical characteristic. The administrator
may require a biological site assessment to determine whether the buffer is functionally
isolated. [Ord. 3-08 § 1 ]
Considering the presence of an existing structure and other impervious surface within the
buffer, any activity directly or associated with development should have no impact to the
Type "I"' Fish -Bearing stream or it's buffer. GPS points of the pond and stream boundary
were recorded in the field. Buffers were created using post processing mapping tools. No
stakes or flags were placed within or outside of the project site. The County Critical Area map
has a wetland mapped throughout the central and eastern portion of the parcel, however,
without indicators of hydric vegetation, soil, and hydrology, it was determined that no
wetland was present on the project site. The final authority over wetland determinations and
associated buffers rests with Jefferson County Community Development. If you find that this
project needs any further work, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Paul Ruben
