The Brown family has used the site as a summer vacation destination since 1972. There are currently two trailers and a recreational summer building on the property. One of the trailers will be removed when the manufactured home is installed. The site was engineered for septic by JSF Engineering, Inc. on 8/12/03. As per a conversation with Kevin Russell, Department of Community Development, Jefferson County a site assessment is required due to wetlands covering the majority ofthe parcel as mapped on the Jefferson County Critical Areas Map. The parcel is also adjacent to Snow Creek, which has been rated as a Type 2 fish-bearing stream with associated 150' buffers (Jefferson County UDC Section 3, Table 3-2). The lot falls entirely within the buffer of Snow Creek. A wetland/stream assessment was conducted on February 17,2004 for Larry Brown. The purpose of the assessment was to locate mapped wetlands and prepare a buffer reduction and habitat management plan to reduce site impacts that may occur during and after the installation of the manufactured home. All wetlands and streams 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 #995400076 S 2, T28N, R2W . Location: Snow Creek Ranch, off 101, Snow Creek Way to Mountain View Drive (Appendix Sheet # 1: Location Map) . Soils: CaC Carlsborg gravelly loamy sand (Appendix Sheet #1: Soil map) . Slopes: 0 to 15% slopes Brown Wetland/ Stream Buffer Reduction Plan Report File Number 2004-6249 1 .U 1t The parcel is within a residential neighborhood consisting of constructed houses across Mountain View Drive and trailers on adjacent parcels. The subject parcel is bound to the west by Mountain View Drive and to the southeast by Snow Creek. There is a gradual drop of approximately 10 feet in topography from Mountain View Drive to the banks of Snow creek. The upper terrace is the location of the proposed home-site, which consists of a mowed lawn. A lower terrace (approximately 55 feet wide) defines the riparian zone bordering Snow Creek. Here mature alders and cedars are thriving with a dense understory of native shrubs. Ground cover was dormant the time of the assessment. Snow Creek is confined within a bank that drops approximately 3 to 4 feet below the lower terrace. 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 . Jefferson County Unified Development Code (January 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 Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) . Site Plan (Base Map Tillman Engineering, Inc.) JSF Engineering Wastewater System Plan Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual Fieldwork to determine the presence of 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 vegetation, 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 saturation, flooding, or ponding lasting long enough during 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). Brown Wetland!

Dominance of plant species is determined by calculating actual aerial cover within a 30-foot radius for trees, a 1 O-foot radius for shrubs, and a 6-foot radius for the herbaceous layer at each data point. Commonly occurring 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 defined in 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 inundated or saturated soil at least 12.5% of the growing season. Indicators of hydrology include visual observation of inundation or soil saturation, water-stained leaves, cracking ofthe 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. Streams and Streamside Wetland Definitions According to the DOE Washington State Wetland Rating System, Western Washington (Second Edition 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." Oftentimes, 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 of larger 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. Findings The Jefferson County Critical Areas Map indicates that the majority ofthe parcel is within wetland boundaries. Findings from soil test pits and vegetation analysis did not indicate hydric conditions. Wetlands were not identified on the subject parcel. The soil test pits were dug on the lower terrace 15 and 30 feet from Snow Creek. Test pits did not indicate the regular presence of water within the top 16 inches of the surface. No mottles were present and soil colors were dark brown to yellowish brown (lOYR 3/3 and 10YR 3,4). The soil test pit locations are indicated on the Findings Map in the Appendix (Sheet #2).

Plants classified according to the Fish and Wildlife Service; 1988,1993 Update Although no wetlands were identified the subject parcel is still within the 150-foot buffer associated with Snow Creek. All standard streamside buffers are measured perpendicular from the creek bank (Jefferson County Unified Development Code, Jan. 1,2001, Section 3 Standard Streamside Buffers Table 3-2). These buffers will encompass the entire parcel. Buffer Reduction In order to accommodate a feasible building site, this project will require the reduction of the standard I 50-foot buffer by more than the allowable 25% (see 3.6.9 (6) below). The distance the manufactured home will be from Snow Creek will be approximately 80 feet according to field measurements. Measurements were taken from the bank of the creek to stakes indicating the location of the manufactured home. Impacts from the installation this structure will be minimal in comparison with standard construction techniques. According to Larry Brown Snow Creek rarely overflows its banks. He is only aware of flooding one time during the 32 years he has owned the property and all water was confined to the lower terrace. Debris blocked a culvert under Highway I 0 I causing the flood. The proposed house site is an additional 4 to 5 feet in elevation above the lower terrace. Snow creek is usually confined to a distinct creek bed that is 3 to 4 feet below the lower terrace.

Buffers provide shading, input of organic debris, and coarse sediment, room for variation in the stream or wetland boundaries, habitat to wildlife, and protection from harmful intrusion necessary to protect the public from losses suffered when the functions and values of aquatic resources are degraded. Standard Buffer Requirements3.6.9 (5 Hi): Buffers shall remain naturally vegetated except where the vegetation has been disturbed, invaded by highly undesirable species, or would substantially benefit for the increased diversity of introduced (native) species. Where buffer disturbance has occurred during construction, replanting with native vegetation shall be required. Minor pruning of vegetation to enhance views and removal of undesirable species (e.g. alders) may be permitted by the Director on a case-by- case basis. Reducing Buffer Widths 3.6.9 (6): The Administrator may reduce the standard wetland buffer width, when the project applicant demonstrates both of the following to the satisfaction of the Administrator: i. Standard wetland buffer width averaging as set forth in this section is unfeasible. ii. The project application includes a buffer enhancement plan using native vegetation, which substantiates that an enhanced buffer will improve the functional attributes of the buffer to provide additional protection for the functions and values. Buffer Reduction Plan Buffer reduction will be applied to allow the applicant to install a single-family manufactured home on the upper terrace of the subject parcel near Mountain View Drive. The buffer will be reduced from 150 feet to 80 feet. A covered trailer, which is in the location of the proposed manufactured home, will be removed. The home-site is outside wetlands as determined by this assessment. There is an elevation gain of approximately 10 feet from the water of Snow Creek to the proposed home site. It is also outside flood plains; historic floods have been confined to the lower terrace of the parcel. The proposed site consists of a mowed lawn; no trees or shrubs will be removed during the installation of the manufactured home. The riparian area along Snow Creek consists of mature native trees and shrubs. Reducing creek buffers should have no additional impact to any part of this riparian corridor.

Sediment or runoff during the installation should be minimized with the use of straw bales or sediment fences. This will be required during the entire building process and will continue to be required until the vegetation becomes established and can act as a natural filter. Habitat Management Plan Erosion and Sediment Control During construction; 1. Land disturbing activities will be minimal. Due to the vegetation density of the riparian corridor and the elevation gain there should be little disturbance to Snow Creek. 2. Areas of exposed soil will be re-vegetated or covered with a minimum of 2 inches of straw within 7 days of disturbance. 3. Stockpiles of soils required when footings are dug will be placed upslope from the building site and as far from Snow Creek as possible. The soils will be covered with plastic sheeting during construction. 4. Straw bales or silt fencing will be placed in the area downslope from the construction to prevent sediment from entering Snow creek during construction. 5. A gravel base will be placed on driveways and parking areas. After construction; ongoing stormwater management; Runoff from house gutters will be directed away from the creek channel and filtered through a grassy swale or sediment trap before entering any of the water channels. 4.2 Buffer Protection 1. During construction, storage and preparation of materials will not encroach upon remaining creek buffers. 2. All vegetation within the buffer between the house and Snow Creek will be retained. Preservation of all existing large trees and shrubs in buffers is critical. 3. Invasive species will be controlled and removed (such as Himalayan blackberry, Ivy). 4. To verify compliance with this plan, the project will be inspected during construction.

A field assessment has shown that the subject parcel is not within a wetland (as mapped by the Jefferson County Critical Areas Map) but it is within the 150- foot buffer of a Type 2 fish-bearing stream. Snow Creek and associated riparian zone (approximately 55 feet wide) have a dense vegetation layer that provides adequate cover for wildlife and bank stabilization. Snow Creek is contained within a bank that drops in elevation approximately 4 feet below the lower terrace. The proposed home site is one level higher, or approximately 10 feet above the water level. According to Larry Brown, flooding is infrequent and is confined to the lower terrace. The site has been a summer destination for the family since 1972. Buffers will need to be reduced from the assigned 150 feet to 80 feet to accommodate the installation of a 50 X26 foot manufactured home. A covered trailer (15X20 feet) will be removed to further accommodate the placement of the single-family home. If Best Management Practices are used during and after the installation, and if no vegetation is removed, and if stormwater from impervious surfaces is directed away from the Snow Creek, few impacts will occur. No additional planting, beyond seeding of bare areas caused by construction impacts and including native trees and shrubs in a simple landscape plan will be required. The main focus of this plan is the preservation of existing conditions with no clearing in the riparian zone. Construction impacts will be kept to a minimum and ongoing invasive weed removal is recommended (Himalayan blackberry or ivy). Compliance with the plan will be verified through inspections during and after construction. The final authority over this buffer reduction and habitat management plan rests with the governmental agencies. Restriction will apply to any development near Snow Creek and within the ISO-foot associated buffers.

Larry and Judy Brown Buffer Enhancement Plan Snow Creek Ranch QuiIcene, W A Parcel # 995 400 076 March 2004 Project Overview The proposed placement of a modular home by Larry and Judy Brown falls within jurisdictional buffers of Snow Creek. A "Reasonable Economic Use Variance Application" is required for all projects within Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA, Jefferson County UDC Section 3.b.4.h.). This report has been prepared as an addendum to the Buffer Reduction and Habitat Management Plan prepared for Larry and Judy Brown (February 2004). Included in the original report are stormwater and construction requirements for this project. This report represents the buffer restoration/revegetation plan to mitigate and minimize buffer impacts. Existing Site Conditions and Building Plan The area to be developed is in a mowed field in an upper terrace above Snow Creek. The remainder of the lot is lower in elevation and is included within the riparian area of Snow Creek. The streamside vegetation is multistoried and consists of mature native trees and shrubs. A map including the approximate location of existing vegetation is included in the Buffer Enhancement Plan (Sheet #3). A modular home (1,300 square feet: 50' X 26") will be placed on the subject property. The new home will be located in the footprint of a recreational structure that will be removed. No ratios are listed in the UDC for streamside buffer replacement ratios; therefore a ratio of2:1 will be implemented for this project. For the 1,300 feet of buffer impacted, 2,600 square feet will be enhanced. This is calculated at 10 square feet per tree and 5 square feet per shrub. Revegetation Approach The primary goal of this revegetation plan is to minimize buffer impacts by planting appropriate native trees and shrubs. Trees and shrubs that are currently found on site should be protected during the revegetation process. Species identified on site include alders, cedars, salmonberry, Indian plum, Douglas fir and huckleberry. Secondary goals include increasing species diversity, thereby increasing habitat value for wildlife. The planting plan includes vine maple, shore pine, hazelnut, twinberry red-flowering currant and dogwood. The revegetation area is mapped and is located between the home-site and the stream to provide extra screening and additional habitat features. The planting plan is included in the Buffer Enhancement Plan (Sheet #3). Brown Buffer Enhancement Plan March 2004 ! ..:"-.".r' fTE'M.,' '.

The species were chosen in accordance to 'Boil typealld water tolerance. tQ04 Construction Plan Installation Specifications All areas of exposed soil will be revegetated with species known to tolerate local soils and wetland conditions. Individual plant species have been selected because they have a high habitat value, are consistent with surrounding vegetation, and are known to thrive in east Jefferson County. Complete landscape specifications are included in Table 1. The Table specifies quantities, sizes, and spacing for each plant. Table 1. includes a directory of local nurseries that supply native plants. Details of species location are included in the planting plan in the Appendix (Sheet #3). Fall Installation Planting should be installed between mid-September and mid-November, unless the new plantings can be watered throughout the summer. Plantings installed in the fall generally outperform those installed in the late winter or spring. Plants put in the ground in the fall have the advantage of an extended period for root growth before rapid top growth in the spring. In the fall, the soil is warmer and more aerated than in the spring and most plants experience active root growth during this time. The cool, cloudy days and frequent precipitation of fall and winter also provide ideal transplanting conditions. Until sufficient root systems develop, newly installed plants will undergo transplanting stress that can be exacerbated by hot sunny days. Fall and winter weather allows for reduced transpiration and provides ample moisture for the roots while the plant recovers from transplant shock. Root Disturbance Immediately before installation plants with broken, damaged, or twisted roots must be pruned. Matted or circling roots of containerized plantings must be pruned or straightened and the sides of the root ball must be roughened from top to bottom to a depth of approximately half an inch in two to four places. If circling roots are left, they may eventually girdle the plant as they grow and thicken in place. If the roots at the edge of the root ball are straightened and extended, they will have access to a greater volume of soil in the planting hole. Also, the roughened edges of the root ball will have better contact with the backfill soil. Disturbing and removing one-fourth to one-half of the roots in the outer inch of the root ball will damage only the most sensitive plants; most often, this treatment actually stimulates increased plant growth. Plant Depth The finished height of each plant's root ball will be slightly higher than that of the surrounding soil. The exception is for sandy soils, in which case the soil heights will be even. The top of the root ball will not be covered with backfill soil. A watering basin will be formed around each planting by building a berm of soil at least 30 inches in diameter. When planting a container-grown plant, the top of the root ball should not ~e covbr~~'''Yith.~riy~uu other soil. Covering the root ball with soil, partiLa~ "~ta finer text~re t:p,an the potting t" Brown Buffer Enhancement Plan March 2004 # -===== " Page _~' or field-growing soil, will generally cause water to flow around the root ball instead of into it; root balls covered in this way may receive water only from below. To allow direct wetting of the root ball from above, install the plant so that the top of the nursery soil is slightly higher than the surrounding soil level. If the soil is sandy, or of a large particle size, then the nursery soil should be level with the surrounding soil. A watering basin made of mounded soil around each planting will further help to catch water from above-the berm should be at least 30 inches in diameter surrounding a plant. Mulch placed within the basin and on the berm will limit moisture loss from the root ball and surrounding soil, but take care that it does not come into contact with the stem of the plant as rodents or pathogens living in the mulch may attack the bark. Staking Staked plants will be attached to two stakes using strapping or webbing tied loosely enough to still allows some movement at that point. The strapping or webbing must be tied as low as possible on the plant's stem while still providing support. Staked plantings will be monitored every six months and the stakes will be removed as soon as their support becomes unnecessary. If the plant can stand alone without staking in a moderate wind, do not use a stake. If the plant does need support, use strapping or webbing as low as possible on the trunk to loosely brace the tree with two stakes. Do not brace the tree tightly or too high on the trunk-if the tree is not able to sway, it will further lose the ability to support itself and its growth will be tall and thin. Do not use wire in a rubber hose for strapping as it exerts too much pressure on the bark. As soon as supporting the plant becomes unnecessary, remove all the stakes. Re-seeding After the completion ofthe construction and planting projects, a seed mix (included in Table 1.) will be evenly spread on all bare areas. An inspection by a wetland biologist or Critical Areas staff of Jefferson County Department of Community Development will be required after all planting is completed. Maintenance: Weeding and Irrigation The use of appropriate native species and careful planting ensures that the need for ongoing maintenance will be minimized. However, some maintenance is required to ensure that the young plants become established. It is recommended that weeding around new plants be conducted once or twice a year during the months of May and September for the first five years, and as often as needed after that. All Scot's broom, Himalayan blackberry, and thistle should be monitored and eliminated from the site. Irrigation may be required for upland species (vine maple, red-flowering currant, and pine) for the first three years or until plants are well established. Hand watering or irrigating with overhead sprinklers once a week should be adequate during the hot summer months. Wetland species that are planted near. the creek corridor may require less watering. .~. Brown Buffer Enhancement Plan March 2004 MAR 3 1 2004 Olympic Wetland Res,ources, Inc. L I' Monitoring Plan A professional wetland biologist will conduct site monitoring. Jefferson County Development Review Division will evaluate success rates after three years. At that point it will be determined whether monitoring will be required after the five-year period. Monitoring will be conducted in July or August during the growing season. Vegetation Monitoring Monitoring data sheets have been developed for recording plant survivorship, density, and general condition of planted species. A sample Monitoring Form is included in the Appendix. Mortality of vegetation will be documented along the newly planted buffer and percent ground cover will be recorded. All volunteer species including the non-native invasive species will be noted. Data gathered using the monitoring form will be used to evaluate overall success rates and to determine whether performance standards are met (see Performance Standards below). Post-construction monitoring will be conducted during the mid-growing season to evaluate the condition ofthe plantings. Monitoring of vegetation will begin one year following plant installation and will continue for five years. All dead or dying plant material will be replaced after the second year with the same species from the original planting plan. Photo-documentation Photographic monitoring provides a visual record of the restoration effort and is an excellent way to qualitatively document plant community changes. Permanent photo-point stations will be established in the restoration area. The stations will be permanently labeled in the field. Photo-point photographs will be taken during the monitoring process by the wetland biologist and included in the annual report. Reporting Schedule Summary reports will be prepared following annual monitoring and submitted to the Jefferson County Development Review Division within one month of fieldwork. A weed control plan to remove invasive plants will be included in the monitoring report. Information will also be available upon request during the year. The installation, maintenance and monitoring schedule is presented below.

This time period will allow for the planted and volunteer species to become established in the planted area. Survivorship will be determined during the monitoring process; the project will be considered successful if, after three years, over 80% of the trees and shrubs are healthy and vigorous. Weedy species should comprise not more than 10% of the ground cover. Contingency Plan The purpose of the contingency plan is to discuss alternatives to the re-vegetation project if environmental goals are not successfully met. Recommendations may include replanting of dead or dying material, or increasing maintenance or watering. Deer browsing may be a problem with young vegetation and some plants may require protective barriers. A contingency plan will be submitted with the first year monitoring report if needed. Summary The proposed placement of a modular home within a buffer of Snow Creek requires a "Reasonable Economic Use Variance". The house covers a footprint of 1,300 square feet. A replacement ratio of 2: 1 will be applied; therefore 2,600 square feet of buffer will be enhanced with 14 trees and 24 shrubs. Native species will be planted to increase habitat value and screen the home from the high quality riparian area. In accordance with the revegetation plan the site will exceed preconstruction conditions. Vegetation layers presently on the upper terrace consist mostly of mowed grasses. After the installation of the home, a layer of trees and shrubs will be installed near the house and in the lower terrace within the riparian zone. The primary goal of this plan is to increase overall functions and values of the buffer to further protect Snow Creek. The success ofthis project will be dependent on ongoing maintenance. Success rates will be evaluated over the next 5 years through the monitoring process. Final approval of this project falls under the jurisdiction of Jefferson County Department of Community Development, Critical Areas Division. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further aspects of this project, please feel free to call. Dixie Llewellin, Principal Biologist Principal Biologist, Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc.
