. Re: 'Wetland Delineation and. Categorization for Tax Parcel Number 801035005, the
5 acre parcel on Center Cemetery'Road, Chimacum, JeffersonCounty,
Washington. This parcei is situated in the SW ~ of th~ SE % of Section 3. T
28 N, R 1 W. WM.
Dear Kay:
The wetland on this site was delineated on May 22, 2003 using the Department of
Ecology Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual in
accordance with the Jefferson County Unified Development Code (UDC) Section
3.6.9 Wetlands.. The DOE manual requires the use of the thfe(}.wetland parameter
methodology. which includes hydric soil, wetland hydrology , and hydrophytic
vegetation, and there must be positive indicators for aU three p~meters for an area
under normal circumstances to be considered wetland. This wetland was determined
to be under normal circumstances. The category of the wetland w~ detennined using
the Department of Ecology Wetland Rating System ,for Western Washington, Second
Edition to determine the buffer as required by the UDC.
, '
The parcel is located on Center Cemetery R<;>ad just south of the parcel at 13 Center
Cemetery Road in the Center area of Jefferson County. It iscurrenlly undeveloped
but the parcels immediately north and south of this parcel both have single family
residences on the west end with undeveloped pastur~on the east half. This parcel is
composed of a young coiliferous forest on gradual to moderate slopes in the west half,
level~ un-grazed pasture through the'middle and additional young coniferous forest on
the east end. A narrow emergent wetland that appear to originate 011 the parcel to ~e
_ north, ,runs southerly across the level un-grazed pasture and continues off-site across'
the adjacent parcels to the south. A stream flows through ,the wetlan4 and according
to the Jefferson County ESRI, it meets the criteria for :a Type 5 system. The wetland
appears to meet the criteria for a Category III system because it is composed of a
single. emergent vegetative community and is associated with a Type 5 stream.
Category III wetlands require 50 foot buffers according to the Jefferson County
Unifi~d Development Code. A single'family home is proposed near the center where
the terrain is level and vege~tion removal will be' minimal. This letter has been
prepared to describe the delineated wetland with respect to the conditions observed at
1015 S.W; Harper Road, Port Orchard, Washington 98367 (360) 876~2403 Fax (360) 876-2653

the wetland test holes, its category and the required wetland buffers. It also includes
backgiouna information obtained from the Jefferson County Soil Survey, National
Wetlands Inventory and Jefferson County ESRL
The on-site soils are mapped as Ale Alderwood gravelly sandy loam in the upland and
identifi~ wetland areas, according to the Soil Conservation Service (now the National
Resources Conservation Service), Soil Survey of Jefferson County Area, Washington,
Septeml;>er 1980. Alderwood soils are not classified as hydric and does not have
inclusions of hydric soil types. See enclosed map for site located on the soil survey
and enclosed soil description for additional" information on the mapped soils.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Wetlands Inventory (NWI),
Center Wash. Quadrangle, identifies wetland through the middle of the parcel and
classifies it as PaluStrine, Emergent, Seasonally flooded with a Palustrine,
ScrubiShrub, SeasOnally flooded at the south end of the system. The Jefferson County
ESRI mapping obtained on-line maps a wetland system with similar boundaries as
those mapped on the NWI maps. Both maps indicate that the system originates on the
parcel to the immediate north and extends southerly across at least three other 5 acre
parcels. - The NWI indicates that the wetland ends several hundred feet south of this
parcel. A Type 5 stream system is also mapped across this parcel and appears to
originates north of Larson Lake Road but the field visit indicates the stream originates
at the same point as the identified wetland areas.' See enclosed map for site located on.
the NWI and the ESRI.
The identified on-site wetland lies through the lowest portio~ of the site and in some
points lies at the base of the slope down from the west line. The wetland is narrow at
the south end~ curves around the level, pasture upland and then heads across the north
property line (see attached rough wetland delineation map). It is a largely emergent
system with small areas of shrub vegetation (on-site) and continues through narrow.
emergent corridors off-site to the south (visual observation of conditions on parcels to
the north). 'The wetland appears to have a seasonally flooded water regime and is
, .
largely fed by surface water and rainfall.
The wetland is delineated with 18 flags marked WB (Wetland Boundary) and
numbered consecutively beginning at the south property line and ending at the north
property line. Only the western boundary of the system was delineated but the rough
location of the eastern boundary is indicated on the rough delineation .map" Data
supporting the delineation was collected at 6 test holes completed in both upland and
wetland areas. 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
domillaiiCvegetation was recorded in order to determine whether or not the
bydrophytiC vegetation criterion is met. See enclosed data forms Jor data collected at
each of the wetland and upland test holes. '
Test Holes 2 and 5 were completed in the wetland. Test Hole 2 is located at the south
end where the wetland is confined to a narrow area outside the somewhat channelized
stream. The soil test hole revealed a single layer ~ silty clay loam profile with a matrix
chroma of 10 YR 3/1. The vegetation is dominated by unidentified grasses, meadow
buttercup (~nculus acris) FACW-; and soft rush (Juncus effusus) FACW with
lower percentages of creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) FACW; tall fescue
(Festuca arundinacea) FAC-; curly dock (Rumex crispus) FAC+; and Canada thistle
(Cirsium arvense) FACU. Water was present at the bottom of the 16 inch test hole
during the May 22 field visit and evidence indicates the presence of saturation to the
surface and on the surface for ,at least 12.5 % of the growing season.
Test Hole 5 is located'at the north end where the wetland widens out and extends to
the edge of the coniferous forest that dominates the west half. ,The soil test hole
revealed a single layer silty clay loam soil profile with mixed matrix chromas of 10
YR 2/1 arid 10 YR 4/3. The vegetation is dominated by soft rush (I. effusus) FACW
and tall fescue (F. arundinacea) FAC- with lower percentages of Canada thistle (C.
arvense) FACU. Hydrology was present as soil saturation during the May 22 field
visit with water present 8 inches from the soil surface. Scouring on the surface
indicates the presence of standing water for a portion of the winter and early growing
season. The data collected at Test Holes 2 and 5 indicate the presence of wetland
, conditions ,because there are, positive indicators present for each of the tbree wetland
parameters.
Test Holes 3 and 4 ate located in the level pasture just west of.the delineated wetland
boundary and documented the absence'of wetland Conditions. Test Hole 3 revealed a
two layer profile consisting of an 8 inch, gravelly loam surface hotizon(0-8"}with a
matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/2 without mottling. The fme sandy loam subsurface
borizon (8-16~) has a matrix chroma of 2.5 Y 5/2 without mottling. The vegetation in
this area is dominated by tall fescue (F. arundinacea) FAC-; an unidentified sedge
(Carex spp.) FACW; orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) FACU and Scot's broom
(Cytisus scoparius) FACU with lower percentages of soft rush (J. effusus) FACW;
creeping buttercup (R. repens) FACW; Canada thistle (C. arvense) FACU; and vetch
(Viciasativa) FACU. Hydrology was not present in this area and there was no
evidence 'of long term or wetland hydrology.

Test Hole 4 is located west of Test Hole 3. The soil test hole revealed a three layer,
very gtavellysandy loam profile consisting of a 3 inch surface horizon (0-3") with a
matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/3; a 5 inch intermediate horizon (3-8") with a matrix
chroma of 2.5 Y 3/3; and an 8 inch subsurface horizen (8-16") with a matrix chroma
of 2.5 Y 5/2 with faint mottles. The vegetation is dominated by sweet vernal grass
(Anthoxanthum odoratum) F ACU; taU fescue (F. arundinacea) F AC-; ,and orchard
grass (D. glomerata) FACU with lower percentages of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga
menziesiz) FACU; Scot's broom (C. scoparius) FACU; dandelion (Taraxacum
officinale) FACU; sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella) FACU+; and vetch (Vida sativa)
UPL. Hydrology was not present during the May 22 field visit and there was no
evidence of long term or wetland hydrology. The areas sampled at Test Holes 3 and 4
are determined to be non-wetland because they are dominated by plant species that
occur mostly in upland areas. the soil colors are too high to be considered hydric soil
and there is no evidence of wetland hydrology_
Test Hole 6 is located at the north end of the level pasture area and south of where the
wetland curves to the west. ' The soil test hole in this area revealed, a single layer
gravelly sandy loam profile with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/3. The vegetation is
dominated by unidentified grasses; orchard grass (D. glomera/a) FACU and Canada
thistle (C. arvense)' F ACU with lower percentages of trailing blackberry (Rubus
ursinus) FACU; tall fescue (F. ar.undinacea) FAC-; vetch (V. sativa) UPL; soft rush
(J. ejfusus) FACW;.bracken fern (Pte1Jdium aquiIinum) FACU; meadow buttercup
(Ranunculusacris) FACW-; and Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) FAC. Hydrology was
not present in this area and there is no evidence of wetland hydrology. This area is
determined to be non-wetland because there are no positive indicators present for any
of the three wetland parameters.
Test Hole I is located about halfway down the slope dominated by the coniferous
forest west of the delineated wetland. The soil test hole in this area revealed two layer
gravelly sandy loam profile consisting of a 6 inch surface horizon (0-6") with a matrix
chroma of 10 YR 2/2 without mottling and a 10 inch subsurface horizon (6-16") with
a matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/4. The vegetation is dominated by Scouler's willow
(Salix scouleriana) FAC; Indian plum (Oemlaria cerasiformes) FACU; Oregon grape
(Berberis nervosa)UPL; and trailing blackberry (R. ursinus) FACU with lower
percentages of Douglas flf (P. menziesil) FACU; holly (Ilex opaca) NL (assumed
FACtI); red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium) UPL; sword fern (Polystichum
munitum) FACU; and wild strawberry (Pragaria virginiana) FACU. Hydrology was
not present and there was no evidence of long term or wetland hydrology in this area.
This area is determined to be upland because there are no positive indicators present
for any of the three wetland parameters.

The category of the delineated wetland was determined using the Department of
Ecology'Washington State W etl~d 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. This wetland system appears to
meet the criteria for a Category III system because it scored 13 points on the attached
rating f~~ (22 points is the minimum for Category II wetlands). The low point total
can be attributed to the lack of more than one vegetative community, seasonal
association with a Type 5 stream, and the presence of mostly open and/or developed
buffers. The Jefferson County Unified Development Code, Section 3.6.9(2) regulates
all Category I wetlands; all Category II wetlands 2,500 square feet or larger in size;
and Category ill and IV wetlands 10,000 square feet or larger in size. The on-site
wetland is part of a system that appears to be at least 3 acres in size so it meets the
criteria for a regulated wetland and will require a 50 foot buffer established from the
delineated edge of the wetland.
The single family home is proposed at the base of the moderate slope where the terrain
becomes level. Placement of the house in this location will reduce vegetation removal
and grading of soils, which will reduce the overall impact to the wetland. The exact
homesite location will need to be based on the location of the flags and edge of the 50
foot 'buffer. The buffer should be measured from the delineated wetland boundary and
it might be helpful to you to mark the buffer edge with flagging so that your exact
building site can be established. Section 3.6.9 Wetlands c.2.i. oithe Unified
Development Code appears to allow establishment or expansion of lawns, 'landscaping,
orchards9 gardens and fences within the ourer 25% of the buffer where no reasonable
alternative is available. No structure other than fences or any impervious surfaces
shall be included, in the above. This would mean that once the house is constructed,
you will be able to maintain at least the outer 25 feet of the buffer as lawn by mowing
the existing .pasture area. This would also mean that you could remove the invasive
plants., such as Scot's broom and blackberry, and even replace with some nice native
trees and shrubs. There should be minimal impacts to the wetland and buffer from the
proposed home construction particularly if the vegetation on the slopes will not be
removed.
In summary, ,a home is proposed at the base of the western slope where the terrain
becomes'level on this 5 acre parcel situated on the east side of Center Cemetery Road
in the Center area of Jefferson County. The parcel is composed of young coniferous
forest on a moderate slope on the west half; level, historic pasture through the middle
and an additional young forest on gradual slopes up to the east line. A Category III
wetland system begins on the parcel immediately north, crosses through the middle of
this parcel and ends several hundred feet to the south. The wetland is largely an

r ..
emergent system with small patches of scrub/shrub that are no large enough to be
considered separate communities. The house is proposed at the base of the western
slope where the level pasture community begins to avoid excessive removal of conifers
on the west half and to avoid excessive grading activities. There will be no significant-
adverse impacts on the wetland from the proposed single family home as it appears to
be outsi4,e,the required 50 foot buffer. Once the house is constructed, the outer 25%
" of the buffer can be maintained as lawn according to the Unified Development Code.

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 90fthe soil
survey.
The Alderwood series consists of moderately well drained soils that have a very slowly
permeable cem~nted 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, Dicki 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 fine 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.
Ale Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. 0-15 % slopes. This nearly level to rolling soil is on '
glacial terraces. In most places the slope is 5 to 10 percent. This soil is moderately well
drained and permeability above the cemented layer is moderately rapid. Roots penetrate to
the cemented layer and flatten out on top of it. A perched water table is above the cemented
layer during the winter months. This soil holds 2 to 4 inches of water available for plants.
Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of water erosion is slight to moderate. This soil is
used pennanent pasture of mixed grasses and legumes. Both hay and silage are commonly
produced. Small grains, vegetables, berries and fruit trees are also grown.

Consider only changes that may have taken place in the last 5 decades. The
impacts of changes done earlier have probably been stabilized and the wetland
ecosystem will be close to reaching some new equiUbrl~ that may tq)resent
a high quality wetland.
