1.0 INTRODUCTION
The property described as Lot 5, Parcel 72404, Records of Jefferson County Auditor,
Volume 2 of Surveys, Page 161, APN # 602-353-023), located in Jefferson County,
Washington is a 7.67 acre parcel of land owned by Dorothy Thale, and being conveyed to
Keith and Tammy Berry. The property is located in the southwest quarter of Section 35
of Township 26 North, Range 2 West (Figures 1,2). The new owners intend to apply to
Jefferson County for a building permit for a single family residence to replace the old single
family home (no longer in livable condition) which is currently on the property.
The property at Parcel # 602-353-023 (hereafter Site) was checked for critical areas by
Westech Company and found to contain a large estuadne wetland adjacent to Hood Canal.
Ms. Berry contracted with Westech Company to delineate those wetlands and determine
wetland type and buffer zones. Section 3.0 of this report contains results of the
delineation.
Parcel Maps of the Site and adjacent properties has been derived from Jefferson County
records. Design studies and maps for septic approval are being prepared by John Fleming
Engineering (JFS Engineering) of Port Angeles, Washington. Field investigation of
wetlands was conducted by Dr. G. Bradford Shea during October and November of 2002.
WT813BRY.REP/112602gbs 1
2.0 METHODS
Wetlands were delineated in the field based on field methods recommended in the
Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (DOE 1997). Wetland
Rating was accomplished according to the Guidelines of the Washington State Wetlands
Rating System (Western Washington] (DOE 1993). Methods were essentially those
recommended by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Routine On-Site Field Method of
delineation of wetlands (U.S. ACOE 1989). Guidelines and requirements of the Jefferson
County Critical Area Code were applied as applicable (Unified Development Code, Section
3, Land Use Districts 2001).
Wetland plants were primarily identified in the field, with subsequent collection and keying
when necessary. Plants were identified using the following sources:
Cooke 1997
Guard 1995
Pojar and Mackinnon 1994
Hitchcock and Cronquist 1973
Lyons 1997
Taylor 1995
Keying of plants using magnifying lenses and dissecting microscope was used as necessary.:
Determination of wetland indicator stares utilized regional keys published by U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (U.S. FWS 1988).
Soils were determined through field examination. Soils were dug or augured to depths of
up to 18 inches using a wetland shovel, a 24" soil probe and a smdard augur. Soil
consistency was determined by feeling for grain size and texture. Soil moisture was
determined at that time. In the event of saturated conditions in the hole, depth to standing
water was noted. Soil color was determined through comparison of field samples with
standard Munsell Color Charts (Munsell 1994). Soil was also examined for presence of
mottles, gley and other indicators of anaerobic soil oxidation.
Hydrologic conditions were determined through examination of topographic relief and
drainage patterns. Soil moistness was determined by hand as indicated above and in the
event of standing water, depth to standing water was noted.
Field surveys were carded out by Dr. Shea on October 31 and November 14, 2002. These
surveys included identification of plants, wetland habitats, soils and hydrology.
WT813BRY. REP/112602gb s 2
Wetlands were determined based on the Routine On-Site Field Method used by Washington
Department of Ecology and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Wetlands were determined
by a combination of vegetation, soil and hydrology indicators. Specific transect and
quadrat points were sampled along apparent wetland edges. Various points were sampled
for vegetation, soil and hydrology in order to determine wetland boundaries. Appendix A
contains data forms for one typical sample point from each of the delineated wetlands.
Wetlands were staked in the field by 24 inch wooden stakes. Wetland boundaries in
forested areas were indicated by use of "Wetland Delineation Boundary" flagging tape
placed at appropriate points in trees and shrubs. All boundaries were staked and/or
flagged every 20-25 feet. Wetland buffer zones were determined based on field
measurements and regulatory requirements and were staked in the field and marked with
orange and black striped flagging every 40-50 feet.

3.0 WETLAND DELINEATION RF~
3.1 Existing Conditions
The property is a relatively flat shoreline parcel which grades from a low upland near the
southern boundary, to a wetland complex adjacent to Hood Canal on three sides, to the
east, north and west (a tidal slough lies to the west of the parcel). At present the property
contains an old building which was previously used as a residence, but is no longer in
livable condition. The property contains a few non-native and native trees and shrubs and
is surrounded by an estuarine wetland in relatively natural condition, adjacent to Hood
Canal (see Figure 2). The upland side of the wetland edge is occupied by shrubs and trees
on the north and west sides.
3.2 Description of Wetlands
Vegetation
Vegetation in the wetland areas is typical of a shoreline marsh with moderate to high
fluctuating salinity. Salinity along this portion of Hood Canal ranges from 15-30 parts per
thousand depending on tidal action and inflow from rivers and streams. Plant species
adapted to this salinity fluctuation are dominant including saltgmss (Distichlis spicam),:
pickleweed (Salicornia pacifica), and spearseale (Atriplex pamla). Other species found in
the wetland areas near the uplands are a mixture of sedges, rushes, grosses and herbs,
some of which are not normally found in highly brackish conditions. The wetland and
upland species found on the Site are listed in Table 1.
Two test plots were taken, one in the wetland in the southeastern portion of the Site and
the other in the upland area. Other plot data were also taken in order to confirm the
location of the wetland/upland delineation boundary. The vegetation, hydrology and soils
from the test plots are found in Appendix A.
The wetland boundary was delineated in the field, staked with 24" wooden stakes and
flagged with pink "Wetland Delineation" tape. The location of the delineated boundary is
shown in Figure 3.
WT813BRY.REP/112602gbs 4
Soils
Soils have been mapped~ in the area by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS 1975).
Soils at and near the Site have been mapped as the Triton-Hoodsport Association. These
are moderately well drained, very gravelly soils underlain by compact glacial till or basalt.
The specific soil types mapped at the Site are Belfast silt loam (Bg) on the eastern portion
of the property and Lummi silt loam (Lu) on the western portion.
Belfast Fine Sandy Loam (BO consists of well drained soils of flood plans. These
soils formed in alluvium, generally in coastal forests. These soils are associated with
Lummi and Swantown soils. The upper 4-8 inches is fine sandy loam. Below this
is a layer of sandy loam with gravels and cobbles throughout. This soil type appears
to be mixed in the field with Belfast Silt Loam (Bg) and the profiles range from fine
sandy loam to silt loam. These soils are somewhat acidic. The soil is well drained
with moderate permeability, slow runoff and little or no erosion hazard.
Lummi Silt Loam (Lu) is a nearly level soil found on river estuaries adjacent to tide-
flats and within 24 feet of the average high tide. The typical profile is 5-10 inches
of dark brown silt loam underlain by 8-17 inches of dark gray silt loam, becoming
very dark grey to olive silt loam to depths of sixty inches. This soil is poorly
drained with moderate permeability. Runoff is slow to ponded and erosion hazard
is slight except along stream channels.
The outer portion of the property is designated as Tidal Marsh (Td). These soils are
nearly level, extremely wet, salty or brackish areas within the overflow limits of the
high tide. Soil materials are deep deposits of heterogeneous river alluvium that are
continually saturated with salt water. The materials are clays and silty clays, gray
or greenish in color and mottled, with little or no upland soil formation.
On-site investigations by Westech Company indicate that the mapped soils correspond well
with soils found on the Site, although there are areas which appear to be characteristic of
Belfast silt loam (Bg) which is also found to the south of the property. Several pert holes
have been dug with a backh°e by a local contractor. JSF Engineering (John Fleming
Engineering of Port Angeles) is performing drainfield design based on results of these
tests).
Soils in the wetland have an organic surface layer, underlain by soils which correspond
well to the Lummi soil description, grading eastward to clay soils typical of tidal marsh.
There are several small channels in the wetland which operate as tidal sloughs, bringing
nutrients to the wetland plants. These channels can be expected to erode and change
location with time as is standard in wetlands of this type.
WT813BRY.REP/112602gbs 5
Hydrology
The Site hydrology in the wetland is controlled by tidal influence from Hood Canal.
Several sloughs enter the Site and one large slough is located at the north and west sides
of the Site. This slough brings brackish and salt water to the saltmarsh at high tides, and
fresher water from upland runoff during low tides. Saturation in the soils is fairly close
to the surface, generally at 12-24 inches depth in the wetlands and roughly 24-36 inches
in the nearby uplands depending on ground elevation and distance from Hood Canal.
Wetland soils were found to be moist at or near the surface, generally wet at depths of 6-
12 inches and sometimes saturated at depths below 12 inches, depending on location.
3.3 Land Uses and Habitat Values
Land uses at the Site include a saltmarsh wetland in nearly natural condition adjacent to
a property containing a former residence. The residential portion of the property has been
cleared and test pits have been dug in the upland area, which contains some shrubs and
native trees near the edge of the wetland and a few non-native trees in the upland.
The wetland extends outward from the upland-wetland transition for roughly 500 feet.
This is a large area which is attached to other natural marsh areas to the north and south.
Tidal sloughs cross these marshes, although some areas have been altered by ditching on
the east side of the property and to the north and south of the property.
These sloughs and the wetland are used by native fish species, and shellfish probably
including juvenile salmon, and several species of clams. The wetlands are utilized by
amphibians, birds and small mammals typical of such saltmarsh areas. Elk are known to
utilize the property during the spring and summer and early fall seasons. The wetland area
probably has a moderate to high habitat value based on the number and type of species
expected to be~present and the general lack of disturbance. ........
The wetland area is mostly undisturbed on the property, however, culverting has occurred
over the tidal slough to the north and ditching occurred near the upper wetland boundary
at some past time.
3.4 Wetland T_vpes and Buffers
The wetland found at the Site is part of a large wetland more than 20 acres in size which
occupies the Hood Canal shoreline near the mouth of the Dosewallips River. The area is
relatively undisturbed except for adjacent residential uses. This wetland therefore fits the
criteria for a Category I wetland according to the Jefferson County Unified Development
Code.
WT813BRY. REP/112602gbs
The wetland buffer for a Category I wetland is 150 feet (JCUDC 2001, Section 3.6.9). This
buffer has been flagged in the field with yellow-black striped flagging tape. Distance from
the wetland edge was measured vertically to determine buffer location. Measurements
were made from wetland delineation stakes, along the wetland edge, extending from the
southern property line of the Site, around three sides of the former residential area. The
buffer location is shown in Figure 3.
WT813BRY. REP/112602gbs 7
4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Conclusions
A Category I wetland exists on the property. The wetland surrounds the property on three
sides and includes a tidal slough to the west as well as estuarine wetlands to the north and
east. The wetland is an estuadne wetland along Hood Canal, near the mouth of the
Dosewallips River.
The boundary of this wetland has been set in the field with surveyor stakes and "wetland
delineation" -flagging. The 150 foot buffer zone for a Category I wetland has been set with
stakes and striped flagging.
There should be no significant impacts from building a new primary residence following
removal of the present non-livable residence, provided that the location is no closer to the
wetland (slough) to the west, and provided no construction work takes place within 75
feet of the esmadne wetlands.
4.2 Recommendations
We recommend that a permit for construction of a new residence be granted by Jefferson
County, subject to County regulations and further recommendations listed below:
No construction activity should occur within a 75 foot buffer zone (except near the
driveway entrance which is within 5 feet of the wetland boundary).. The property
is essentially not buildable with the normal 150 foot buffer zones. The existing
non-livable residence is located within these zones, as is a well and former drainfield
area., We recommend that a variance or other administrative relief-be granted to
reduce the buffer zone to 75 feet, allowing for placement of a residence and
drainfield.
A silt fence should be erected prior to construction both as a physical indicator of
the location of the recommended 75 foot buffer zone edge, and as a protection
measure to prevent siltation of the recommended buffer zone and wetland. The silt
fence should be adequately maintained during the construction period. Graded
areas should not be left as bare ground during the rainy months (October through
April).
WT813BRY.REP/112602gbs 8
Replanting of all areas not covered with impermeable surface (driveway, house,
sidewalk etc.) should be accomplished upon completion of construction. Native
grasses native shrUbs or other native plants should be established in all areas within
150 feet of the wetland immediately upon completion of constrUction. Any bare
areas which must be left for more than a few days during construction should be
covered with an erosion/siltation control barrier such as jute netting, or equivalent.
Implementation of these recommendations will, in our professional judgement result in no
significant environmental impacts to the wetland as a result of the proposed project.
