Re: Wetland Delineation and Categorization for Tax Parcel Number 701061013,
which,is a 5 acre parcel on Nickelbush Lane, Quilcene, Jefferson County,
Washitlgton. This parcel is situated in the NW IA of the NE v.i of Section 6,
T27N, R 1 W. WM.
Dear Jess and Suzanne:
Th~ wetland on this site was delineated on March 10, 2003 using the Department of
Ecology Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual in
accordance with the Jefferson County Unified Development Code Section 3.6.9
Wetlands. The DOE manual requires the use of the three-wetland parameter
methodology, which inc1udeshydric soil, wetland hydrology, and' hydrophytic
vegetation, and there must be positive indicators for all three parameters for an area
under normal circumstances to be considered wetland. This wetland was determined
. .
to be under normal ,circumstances. The category of the wetland was determined.
using. the Department of Ecology Wetland. Rating System for Western Washington,
Second Edition to determine the buffer as required by the CAO.
This parcel is located off a dirt driveway west of Nickelbush Lane in Jefferson
. County. It is composed of a mowed level pasture with a moderate slope down to the
south that begins about halfway through the parcel. At the base of the slope, the
parcel is composed of a mixed deciduous/coniferous forest with a small area of
mowed pasture. The parcel is largely composed of upland with a small forested
wetland and man made pond lying at the base of the moderate slope. The wetland
. was delineated to establish the approximate size and the subsequent rough location
survey revealed the wetland is about 4,000 square feet in size. This wetland meets
the criteria for a Category III system because of its small size and lack of vegetative
diversity and according to the Unified Developm.ent Code, Category III wetlands
less than 10,000 square feet are not regulated. Based on my interpretation of the
code, the identified 'and delineated wetland is not regulated and a buffer should not
be required. The man made pond lies about 75 feet east of the delineated wetland
and appears to have been excavated historically possibly for watering of livestock

and/or irrigation purposes. It has no surface water connection to the delineated
wetland and has excavated banks that have upland soil conditions so it appears to
have been created in an upland area and was not historically wetland. The pond
should not be regulated by the Unified Development Code because it is man made
from upland and is less than 10,000 square feet in size. Neither the pond nor the
wetland. will be directly impacted by the proposed construction of a single family
home on the upland pasture (nortll end) and both will be enh.anced with plantings and
. removal of invasives. There is a larger ~ategory III wetland system off-site to the
east and cuts across the extreDle southeast comer of the property.. It was not .
delineated.for the.proposed single family home because the home will be situated
greater than 125 feet from the wetland. This letter has been prepared to describe. the
delineated wetland with respect to the conditi9DS observed at the wetland test holes,
its category and why it appears to be an unregulated system. The letter also
describes the conditions of the pond and provides data that indicates it was created
from upland. The letter also includes bac~ground inforination obtained from the
Jefferson County Soil S,urvey ~d National Wetlands Iilventory.
The on~site soils are mapped as Ante Alderwopd gravelly loam, 0-15 % slopes
according to the Soil Consel:'Vation Service (now the Natiomil Resources
ConserVation SerV~ce), Soil Survey of JeffersQnCounty Area, Washington, August
197.5. This soil map'uriit is not classified as hydric does not have hydric soil .

The identified on-site wetland liesarthe base of the moderate slope that begins
roughly.halfway across the parcel. The wetland is a small forested community with
sparsely vege~ted shrub and herbaceous layers and appears. to be fed by a. seasonal .
seep that enters the northwest corner of the wetland. The-pond l~es about.75 feet
east of the wetland and is currently open water with a narrow '~and C?f small red
alder and willow trees around it that are in the.upland.- It may receive subsurface
hydrology from the pond but appears. to be almost entirely fed by rainfall as it
appears to. contain standing water mainly during the winter and spring. The wetland
. is delineated with flags marked WB (Wetland Boundary) and numbered
consecutively around this small system. Data supporting the delineation was
Godsalve/Martin

collected at 2 test holes completed in both upland and wetland areas. A single test
hole is present on the upland bank of the pond and provides data concerning the
historic upland condition of the area in which the pond was excavated. At each test
hole, a 16-inch soil pit was completed to document the presence or absence of hydric
(wetland) soil conditions and the presence or absence of wetland hydrology
indicators. In a 30-foot diameter circle around the test holes, the dominant
vegetation was recorded in order to determine whether or not the hydrophytic
vegetation criterion is met. See enclosed data forms for data collected at each of the
wetland. and upland test holes.
Test Hole 1 is located on the north bank of the small pond, which is situated in the
level area that begins at the base of the moderate slope. The pasture and forested
areas are composed of upland and there are no. apparent current or historic wetland
indicators. The bank on the east side appears somewhat higher than the other banks
and it appears that the spoils (material removed from.the pond) were probably
placed In this area. The soil hole revealed a single layer gravelly loam with a matrix
chroma of 2.5 Y 3/3frolIi the surface to the bottom of the 16 inch test hole. The
vegetation around this area is do~itiatedby orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata)
F ACU and a f~w unidentified grasses with lower percentages of creeping buttercup
(Ranunculus repens) FACW; soft rush (Juncus effusus) FACW; andcutly dock
(Rumex. crispus) FAC +. There was standing water present in the pond during the
March lOth site yisit. but it is clear that the water level relies on rainfall. as the level
was significantly lower than the high water mark. There is a pipe exiting the
southeast corner of the pond, .which appears to provide' seasonal overflow and
. prevents the pond froill flooding or overtopping its banks. There is no .surface
connection to the delineated wetland nor is there an indication that the pond is
connected to the larger wetland system off-site to the east. Based on the soil
conditions and the apparent lack of connection to other wetland areas, this pond is
man made and according to the Unified Development Code, Section 2-Definitions,
artificial wetlands intentionally created from non~wetland sites for use as farm ponds
are not regUlated wetlands. Therefore,. the pond will norbe regUlated as a wetland
. and a buffer will not be required. The pond will not be directly impacted and will
be used as an amenity to the site with enhancement proposed to improve its
appearance and habitat for localwildlife species.
Test Holes 2-4 are located in and adjacent to the wetland to verify the delineated
boundary and the absence ofa surface connection or contiguous wetlands between
the wetland and the pond~ Test Hole 3 is located in this small forested system, which
is sparsely dominated and contains fairly low percentages of Sitka willow (Salix

having a-matrix chroiDa of.10 YR 2/1 with a small patch of non-hydric soil having a
.. matrix chroma of 10YR 4/4. Hydrology was present to the surface of the test hole
and there was patchy standing water present during the March 10th site visit. The
SOlJrce of hydrology appears to be a seasonal seep at the northwest comer and
additional se~sonal inputs from direct rainfall. There is no apparent surface outlet
and water appears to leave this small system via evapotranspiration and subsurface
flpw possibly toward the man made pond but only on a seasonal.basis.-
Test Hole 2 is located in the upland south of the delineated wetland where the
vegetati<?n is dominated by western red cedar (Thuja.plicata) PAC and sword fern
.(Polystichum munitum) FACU with lower percentages of salmonberry. (R.

consisting of a 6 inch surface horizon (0-6") with a matrix chroma of 1ClYR3/2,
without mottlirig and a sub~urface horizon (6-16") with a.matrix chroma of 10 YR
4/2, without mottling. Hydrology was not present in this upland. area and there was
no evidence of wetland hydrology.

wetlands, respectively). The data collected at Test Holes 2 and.4 indicate the

absence of wetlands because there are no positive indicators present for any of the.
three wetland parameters . The hydric soil criterion is not met because the soil
profiles have high matrix chromas and lack mottling, which indicates the presence of
a fluctuating water table that is affecting the chemical reactions in the soil. The
. wetland hydrology criterion is not met because there was no water present in the soil
proftle or on the surface and there is no evidence of wetland hydrology. The
hydrophytic vegetation criterion is not met because the vegetation is dominated by a
mixture of non-wetland plant species. At Test Hole 1, the onJy parameter with
positive indicators is wetland hydrology (water present in the pond) but the soils
along the pond banks indicate the absence of historic wetland soils and the
surrounding vegetation is dominated by uphmd species. Therefore, a non-wetland
determination is made for the area in which the pond is situated. .
The category of the delineated wetland has been determined using the Department of
Ecology Washington State Wetland Rating System,. Second Edition, which utilizes a
data form that lists common characteristics of different wetland categories and
assigns points based on the presence of these characteristics. The on-site wetland
meets the criteria for a Category III system because it scored 15 points on the
attached rating form (22 points is the minimum for Category IT wetlands). The
wetland received the most pomts for the presence of undeveloped buffers and an.
undeveloped corridor to another habitat (off-site wetlarnf to the.east). It received a
lower number of points for the absence of a stream collilection and presenCe of only
a single vegetative community (forested). The wetlandoff-.site to the east appears to
also meet the Category TIIcriteria because it is 'a forested system containing only
. .
two canopy layers-forest and emergent-with the emergent layer dominated.by reed
canary grass.. This off-site wetland is also bordered .by two dirt roads and has a
connection to a larger stream system under two roads but does not appear to have
fish usage. The Jefferson County UnifledDevelopment Code, Section 3.6.9(2)
regulatesalf Category I wetlands; all Category IT wetlands 2,500 square feet or .
larger in size ; and Category IiI and IV wetland~ 10, 000 squ~re feet or larger in size.
It also does not regulate man made ponds created from upland for livestock purposes
or as landscape. amenities. Buffers should therefore l?e required only for the off-site
wetland and not for the pond or delineat~d, on-sIte wetland. .
The single family home is proposed in the pasture at the north end of the parcel,
which is greater than 100 feet from the regulated off-site wetland. There will be no
significant adverse impact to the on-site delineated or off~site wetland systems as a

result of upslope development because the development will be greater than 50 feet
from the wetlands and pond. Enhancement will be conducted around the on-site
delineated wetland and will entail removal of invasives from the. wetland and buffer.
The pon4.will be enlarged and enhanced by planting vegetation in and around it.
In summary, a home is proposed at the north end of this 5 acre parcel on Nickelbush
Lane near Quilce~e in Jeffer-so~ County. Tbe parcel is composed of mowed pasture
through the north half with a moderate slope down to the south beginning about
halfway thro.ugh the parcel. .A man made pond and a forested wetland lie at the base
of the slope, which is dominated by mowed pasture and patches of deciduous and
coniferous forested communities. The pond appears to be excavated from upland as
a livestock pond and therefore does not meet the criteria for a :regulated wetland.
The delineated wetland is a forested community with no hydrologic connection to
other wetlands, stre~ or the nearby pond.and meets the criteria for a Category III
system. The wetland. is less than 10,000 square feet and according to the Unified
Development Code, . is. not regulated so a buffer is not required. The wetiandand
pond will be .maintained and enhanced through removal of invasives and possible
expansion of the pond into adjacent upland. New vegetation may also be planted jn
and around . both the wetland and man made pond. A larger Category ill wetland
. lies mostly off-site but crosses the southeast comer of this parcel and the proposed
activities will be. conducted well outside the required buffers.

JEFFERSON COUNTY SOIL SURVEY
DESCRIPTION OF SOIL TYPES
The soils described in this appendix are excerpts, considered applicable to urban
development, taken from the Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Jefferson County
Area, Washington, August, 1975. For further information, see pages 8 and 9 of the soil
survey.
The Alderwood series consists of moderately well drained soils that have a very slowly
permeable cemented layer at a depth of 20-40 inches. Slopes range from 0-50% and
elevation ranges from 100 to 800 feet. These soils formed in glacial till under a forest of
mixed coniferous and broadleaved vegetation. These soils are mainly associated with
Beausite, Casey, Clallam, Dick, Everett, Hoypus Indianola, Sinclair and Whidbey soils. In
a representative profile, a thin layer of organic litter covers the surface. The top 1 inch of
the soil is very dark grayish-brown gravelly fme sandy loam. Below this, to a depth of 12
inches, is dark yellowish-brown gravelly sandy loam. Beneath this layer, and continuing to a
depth of 30 inches, is gravelly sandy loam that is brown in the upper part and dark grayish
brown and prominently mottled in the lower part. The next layer is a dark grayish-brown
cemented layer that formed in very compact glacial till. Rounded pebbles, cobblestones, and
stones are on the surface throughout the profile. Alderwood soils are mainly used for tree
production and for wildlife habitat and recreation areas. Less than 30 percent of the acreage
is used for growing pasture plants, hay plants and diversified farm crops.
ArnC Alderwood gravelly loam. 0-15% slopes. This nearly level to rolling soil is on glacial
terraces. The surface layer and subsoil are gravelly loam. Included within this soil in
mapping are small tracts having shale or sandstone at a depth of 20-36 inches. Permeability
is moderate and this soil holes 3 to 6 inches of water available for plants. This soil is mainly
used for tree production, wildlife habitat and recreation areas.

Q.4. Significant habitat value.
Answer all questions and enter data requested.
4a. Total wetland area
Estimate area., select from choices in the near-right column, and score in the
far column: rJ ~ 000 ~ -f.}-.
Enter acreage of wetland here:~acrcs, and source: W ttt f1 V1d,
d -eli \t1tcGtrOV1
ct 0/7 \jVLR..
4b. Wetland classes: Circle the wetland classes below that qualify:
Open Water: if the area of open water is > 1/4 acre
Aquatic Beds: if the area of aquatic beds> 1/4 acre,
Emergent: if the area of emergent class is > 114 acre,
Scrub-Shrub: if the area of scrub-shrub class is > 1/4 acre,
Forested: if area of forested class is > 114 acre,
Add the number of wetland classes. above, that qualify, and then
score according to th,e columns at right. .. .
e.g. If there are 4 classes (aquatic bed'), open water. emergent &
scrub- shrub), you would circle 8 points in the far right column.
4c. Plant species diversity.
For each wetland class (at right) that qualifies in
4b above, colint . the Dumber of different plant ~pecies
you can find that cOver more than 5% of the ground.
You do not have to name them.

Score in column at far right:
e.g, If a wetland has an aquatic bed class with 3 species:
an emergent class with 4 species arid a scrub-shrub'
class with 2 species you would. circle 2,2, and 1 in the
far column.
Note: Any plant species with a cover of> 5%
qualifies for points within a class. even those
that are not of that class.

4d. Structural diversity.
If the wetland has a forested class, add J point if each of lhe following
classes is present within. the forested class and is larger than 114 acre:
-trees> 50' tall. . . . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . .

-herbaceous ground cover. . . . . .. . . . . . . .
.fJso add 1 point if there is any "open water" or "aquatic bed" class
immediately next to the forested area (ie. there is no scrub/shrub or
emergent vegetation between thern).
4e.. Decide from the-diagrams below whether interspersion betwccn
wetland classes is high. moderate; low or none? If you think the
amount of interspersion falls in between the diagrams score accordingly
(i.e. a modcrdtely high amount of insterspcrsion would score a 4,
while a moderately low amount would score a 2)

4f. Habitat features.
Ans~er questions below, circle features that apply, .and score to right:
Is there evidence that the open or standing water was caused by beavers
Is a heron rookery located within 300'?
Are raptor nest/s located within 3oo'?
Are there at lca~t 3 standing dead trees (snags) per acre greater than
10" in diameter at "breast height" (DBH)'!.
Arc there at least 3 downed togs per acre with a diameter
> 6" for atlcast 10' in length'!
Are there areas (vegetated or unvegctated) within the we~and that are
ponded for at least 4 months out of the year, and the wetland has not
qualified as having an open water class in Question 4b. .,
