The subject parcel is located off Egg and I Road and east of Center Valley Road in the Bishop Hill Subdivision. The goal of the wetland delineation was to determine wetland locations and associated buffers that would restrict a building site location. A Level I wetland assessment was conducted on March 5, 2004 prior to the purchase of the parcel. All wetlands within Jefferson County 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 #901 355 009, S35 T29N, Rl W, 5 acre parcel, · Location: East of Center Valley Road (#408) east on Egg and I Road, and north on Bishop Hill Road. (Appendix Sheet #1: Location Map) · Soils: SnC Sinclar gravelly sandy loam (Appendix Sheet #1: Soil map) . Slopes: 0 to 15% slopes The subject parcel was recently logged removing second growth timber. A drainage corridor on the parcel connects with a large high quality wetland that is off site and to the northwest. In lieu of the recent logging activity vegetation on the site is diverse. There area large number of tree and shrub sp~cies present. The wetland is confined to a drainage corridor that drops approximately 4-feet in elevation from the surrounding terrain. Several perk holes have been excavated on the parcel to locate a septic site. The proposed septic site location is outside the wetland buffer. Applied Methodology The following resources were consulted for this project: · Jefferson County Critical Areas Map Wetlands (1995) and ESA Maps (Stream and Wetlands) · Aerial Photographs (Soil maps pre-1975, and 2000, included inAppendix) · Jefferson County Unified Development Code (January 1,2001) · Soil Survey of Jefferson County (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1975) · National Wetland Inventory Map Zorrah Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2004-8488 1 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 3/04 i~~_~~H~ ~ 1m [u!

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 dete~on: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. For an area to qualify as a jurisdictional 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 saturation, flooding, or ponding lasting long enough during the growing season to result in an anaerobic upper layer. Hydric soils favor the growth and regenemtion 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 domin~ted by hydrophytic vegetation. Dominance of plant species is -- 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 occwring 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 occurrence in wetlands and non-wetlands. During the fieldwork, each species was recorded and given a rating based on indicator status and percent cover. Hydrology Wetland hydrology is definoo ~ the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual as- "areas that are periodically inundated or have soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season." Areas must have seasonally inWldated or saturated soil at least 12.5% of the growing season. Indicators of hydrology include visual observation of inWldation or soil saturation, water-stained leaves, cracking of the soil surface, and/or sediment deposits. Positive signs of hydrology are often absent during the summer and fall months but can be inferred if there are positive indicators of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation.

Wetlands are rated as entire systems and quite often exceed project boundaries. Ratings range from Class I to Class IV; Class I is the highest quality wetland and is not replaceable and therefore receives the largest buffers and highest protection. Determining Wetland Edges Wetland edges were determined by establishing two data points: one within the wetland which contains 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 present. Measurements were taken with a Chainman II hip chain. Findings The Jefferson County Critical Areas Map indicates a large wetland that falls only on the northwest comer of the parcel. Findings indicate that the wetland actually extends on site and is an extension of a drainage ditch along the northern property boUndary. The wetland is confmed to the ditch by a distinct drop in topography. Surface saturation and ponded water exist throughout this wetland matrix. Wetland vegetation requiring year-round water was prevalent throughout the wetland. Only the south edge of the wetland was delineated, the northern edge falls on the property to the north. Wetlands are rated as whole systems. The wetland consists of a variety of plant communities and structural layers and has high habitat value. Several downed trees and snags proved nesting and feeding sites for birds and mammals. When the wetland is rated as a whole system, it is a Class II wetland (29 points). All wetlands and drainage corridors were flagged with orange plastic ribbon labeled "Wetland Boundary," tied to vegetation along the drainage ditch at points 20 to 40 feet apart. The wetland edge is contiguous with the drop in topography and distinct vegetation change. Flagging is labeled with alpham~eric codes (AI through AlO). The data point locations, wetland edges, and buffers are indicated on the Findings Map in the Appendix (Sheet #2). - Soils Jefferson County Soil Survey (page 51) lists soils on site as SnC Sinclar gravelly sandy loam. This soil is not classified as a hydric soil on the Jefferson County Area Hydric Soil list (January 1991 ). Wetlands often occur when there is soil disturbance in soil types where the clay layer is near the surface. Even though the soils are not classified as hydric, data points and soil test pits confirmed the presence of hydric soils. The soils were low-chroma the entire depth of the soil test indicating frequent saturation and a rising water table. At Data Point # 1 the soil layer was black (10YR2/1 Zorrah Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2004-8488 3 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 3/04 and IOYR 3/2 with mottles). At Data Point #2, upslope and to the south of Data Point # I, soils were not hydric, and were dark brown (IOYR 2/2 and lOYR 3/3 with mottles). The perk holes were dug to 6 feet, and the soils within the holes indicate the presence of a rising water table. Bright orange mottles were observed in the soil layer at 24''below the surface. Standing water was present in all perk holes from 3 to 5 feet below the surface. Vegetation The site contained a high diversity of species even though recent logging has impacted the site.

Plants classified according to the Fish and Wildlife Service; 1988,1993 Update ZoiTah Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2004-8488 4 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 3/04 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 (SOC or 400P). Daytime temperatures were in the 50's during this fieldwork; therefore this delineation was conducted during the growing season. Soil temperature was recorded at 480P at 20" during the March 22, 2004 site assessment. Hydrology was present throughout the wetland. Surface saturation and ponding up to 10 inches deep was observed during the delineation. Classification of Wetland All wetlands have been rated according to the DOE rating system. This wetland classifies as a Class II wetland with 100-foot buffers. All buffers are measured perpendicular from the' delineated edge (Jefferson County Unified Development Code, Jan. 1,2001,3.30 Buffers Table 3-4). Summary A Class II wetland was identified during the March 2004 delineation. The wetland is confined to a drainage corridor and roughly parallels the northern boundary of the parcel. The on-site wetland is from 10 to 30 feet wide and contains areas of ponded water and sedge meadows. This wetland is part of a much larger wetland complex to the north that is indicated on the Jefferson County Critical Areas Maps. The wetland is rated as a whole system and receives a higher rating due to the complexity and high structural value and habitat layers of the wetland. This wetland will have associated 1 DO-foot buffers measured perpendicular from all wetland edges. - Due to the recent impacts of logging throughout most of the buffer, it is feasible to locate a building envelope closer to the wetland by implementing both buffer averaging and a revegetation plan between the home site and the wetland. The final authority over this wetland determination rests with the governmental agencies; restrictions will apply to any development near the wetlands or buffers associated with this parce~.
