Subject: Addendum to Geotechnical Report dated March 12, 2001 for the Property Described
as Tax # 002133007, Section 13, T30N, R2W, W.M. Jefferson County, WA
Dear Mr. Langjahr:
At your request, Bill Payton, Engineering Geologist with NT! Engineering and Surveying (NTI)
conducted an update inspection of the subject property for the purpose of possibly reducing the
150' building setback from the bluff that was recommended in the above mentioned
geotechnical report completed by this office. Due to the many site constraints, the property
would likely be an unbuildable lot without a minor reduction in the previously recommended 150'
setback. Based on the enclosed site plan, a reduction of 25' to 30' is needed.
The update inspection consisted of a review of the geotechnical report and a site visit to confirm
the current conditions at the property. The condition of the bluff appeared to be unchanged
since the last site visit in 2001. No recent slide activity was noticed on the bluff. The old slide
scar mentioned in the previous report has mature vegetation growing in it. Also, there is mature
vegetation growing elsewhere on the bluff face, suggesting a slow average rate of bluff
recession.
Based upon our inspection ofthe subject property, we recommend that the previously
recommended 150' building setback be reduced to 120'.
If you have any questions regarding this matter or need further assistance, please feel free to
contact this office.
Sincerely,
NTI ENGINEERING & SURVEYING, INC.

LO INTRODUCI'ION
The property described as Parcel # 002133007, (Parcel 3 as recorded in Volume 1 of
Surveys, Page 194) located on Goss Road extension in Jefferson County, Washington is a
6.63 acre parcel of land owned by Mr. Joseph Langjahr. The property is located in the SW
quarter of Section 13 of Township 30 North, Range 2 West (Figures 1,2) and consists of
, - ~"."-'
one tax parcel roughly 6.63 acres in size. The owner is in the process ofapprying to
Jefferson County for a septic permit for a three bedroom sin8le family residence.
-..;;;~-;;:- ."
The property at Parcel 3, Goss Road was checked for critical areas by Westech Company
and found to contain one forested wetland area. Mr. Langjahr contracted with Westech
Company to delineate that wetland and determine wetland type and buffer zones. Section
3.0 of this report contains results of the delineation.
Preparation of Parcel Maps has been previously conducted by Creative Design Solutions.
CDS has also conducted design studies and maps for septic approval. Field investigation of
wetlands was conducted by Dr. G. Bradford Shea during January and February, 2003.

2.0 METHODS
?'/~ AY '~-' 6 2003
: ~
i. . .---_~ '--.
Wetlands were delineated in the field based on field methods ~~eh4~(~':~j]i{:ilieL',-:.<..:.,.'
Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (OOET997): ,...'\V~tland. ..' . ,
Rating was accomplished accor(ling 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. ACOEI989). Guidelines and requirements oftl1e Tifferson
County Critical Area Code were applied as applicable (Unified Development Code, Section
3, Land Use Districts 2O(H).
~;:-..
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 status utilized regional keys published by U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (U.S. FWS 1988).
Soils weredetermiI1ed through field examination to confirm area-wide mapping by the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service (SCS 1975). Soils were dug or augured to depths of up to 18
inches using a wetland shovel, a 24" soil probe and a standard 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, gIeyand
other indicators of anaerobic soil oxidation.
Hydrologic conditions were determined through examination of topographic relief and
drainage patterns. Soil moistness was determined from dug soil samples as indicated above
and in the event of standing water, depth to standing water was noted.
Initial field surveys were carried out by Dr. Shea on January 7. 16 and 23. 2003. These
surveys included identification of plants, wetland habitats, soils and hydrology. Due to the
presence of older trees in this forested wetland. studies also included measurement of tree
diameters and selected collection of tree cores to determine age in order to comply with
Department of Ecology criteria on rating forested wetlands.
WT815GRW.RPf/033003m.s

Wetlands were determined based on the Routine On-Site Field Method used by Washington
Department of Ecology and the U.S. Army COlpS 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.
c~. ~4'::'::
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. Wetland rating was determined as per the DOE Wetland Rating
Manual. For forested wetlands. ratings require determination of age for differentiation of
Class II and Class I wetlands. Ages of mature trees (over 3" diameter at breast height
(dbh)) were determined through measurement with a calibrated "dbh metal tape" combined
with "growth ring measurements" determined by selected coring with a 16" auger-bit tree
corer.

3.1 Existing Conditions . i.. . . .,c ~
. . '. - _' ! .(.c' :~:Jiff:~!i.s,9'iIJ;cl.Qidy-j ,
The SIte IS located on moderately steeply sloped temun with lower areasLlnclildin~'a~:tly!~~;;}~,.opr/ENT !
located in the northeast comer and a wetland located in the central area near a steep-sided' '~-~-"-,_.,>
shoreline . bluff. The western portion of the property is shoreline and aqlla~.)ands
(Discovery Bay). Elevation ranges on the upland portions of the property range from 190
- 250 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Site vegetation is composed of forest and
forested wetland. The forest areas cover most of the property with the exception of the
western shoreline portion below the bluff.
3.0 WETLAND DELINEATION RESULTS
~~.
There is one wetland area on the Site (Figure 3). The wetland is categorized as a forested
wetland. This wetland is long and relatively narrow in shape, having apparently formed
as an extension of a drainage channel which drains the ravine (rough dimensions of the
wetland are 50'x150' at its largest extent). The wetland appears to extend about 100 feet
up the drainage channel, at which point it diminishes to a riparian zone associated with
an intermittent drainage channel. The drainage channel contained a small amount of
trickling water during the study period, following several intense rainstorms, and it appears
to be an intermittent drainage (likely dry during summer months) which carries stormwater
runoff to Discovery Bay during the winter months.
Soils on the Site are of the Clallam-Hoypus-Dick soil series (SCS 1975). These are
generally shallow, well drained soils underlain by glacial till~ loamy sand and gravel or
gravelly sand. The specific soil types at the Site are:
1) Clallam gravelly sandy loam (Crne) - this is a grayish-brown, well drained
soil which formed on terraces. Permeability is moderate above the cemented
layer which usually occurs below the root zone at a soil depth of 20-40
inches.
2) Cassolary sandy loam (CfD) - This soil type is a hilly soil occurring on
terraces at the breaks of ravines aitd marine bluffs. It occurs on 15 - 30
percent slopes. The soil is moderately well drained, with moderate
permeability above the till layer (or gravelly sand). This soil has medium
runoff characteristics and moderate erosion hazard in unvegetated areas.
Analysis of on-site soils and comparison to SCS mapping seems to indicate areas of
included silt and clay looms within the lower portions of the ravine and underlying the
wetland area near the bluff. Most of the forested upland portion of the Site appears to be
underlain by Clallam gravelly sandy loam. The wetland soils appear to be somewhat
shallow above glacial till (6--12 inches), with horizons of less than six inches in some areas.
Wf815GRW.RPT/033003ms

Hydrology of the Site is that of a typical lowland forest on a moderately shallow slope.
Wherever topography is lower or undulates slightly, wetlands tend to form. The wetland
extends from a point halfway down the drainage (from where it crosses Goss Road) to the
edge of the bluff, widening as it intercepts the terrace above the edge of the bluff. The
wetland is adjacent to the drainage channel at the base of the ravine: for about baIf of its
total length.
~"';',:
3.2 Description of Wetlands
~.
There is one wetland located on the property. The wetland occurs within a forested area
and is therefore classified as a forested wetland. 'However, most of the large mature trees
lie outside of the wetland.
Wetland Vegetatjon
The vegetation of this wetland is dominated by trees including western red cedar (l]m,ja
Plicata), alder (Alnus rubra) (see Table 1). Shrubs and herbaceous plants including
salmonberry (Rubus ~utbilis), western coltsfoot (l>et3Site~ frigidus) with stinging nettle
(Uritica dioica), trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus) and sedge (Carex hendedrsonii) are
also present, mainly in the lower wetland, below the ravine.
The riparian portion of the wetland lies in the ravine. This area is well shaded by the
nearby forest canopy and has little ground vegetation in the wetland. Large cedar trees
flank this portion of the wetland. Groundcover is mostly leaves and needles. Wetland soils
in this portion of the wetland are shallow dark brown to black organic soils above a
hardpan layer of gravelly till. A few wetland plants including salmonberry (Rubus
~tabilis) are the main shrub-herb layer plants in this portion of the wetland with a few
sedges (Carex hendersoniL).
3.3 Land Use$ and Habi~t Values
The Site is currently an undeveloped rural property zoned for residential development. The
Site contains a forested area which includes the wetland. An old road meanders through
the Site, including an area adjacent to the wetland.
The wetlands on the site appear to provide good habitat for deer and small mammals. Bird
habitat is probably limited to songbirds which utilize forest habitat., The wetlands appear
to be fairly seasonal in terms of saturation and generally do not contain standing water
except during winter months.

3.4 Wetland Types and Buffers
The Site wetland is moderately diverse and contains mostly native species. Wetland size
and location is shown in Figures 2 and 3. The wetland is above the regulatOry threshold
in size.
The wetland on the Site appears to fall within the category of Type II wetlands (see
Appendix A). A Washington Department of Ecology Rating form was filled ~ fqt-",t!\e on-
site wetland. Due to criteria of tree age in forested wetlands, a more detailed survey was
made of tree diameters and tree age (by growth ring analysis). Results of that study are
shown in Table 3.
~.
For a Category II wetland, a 100 foot buffer zone is required for development of a single
family residence. Black and orange striped flagging indicating that size buffer zone has
been staked in the field at a distance of 100 feet from the wetland.
A Type 4 or 5 stream traverses the property along the bottom of the ravine. This drainage
channel is a few inches deep (less than 6") in all locations observed( during the wet winter
season following rains) and less than two feet in width. Most of the channel is plugged
by mud or leaf litter, leaving little or no direct flow. There was no evidence of any usage
of the channel by fish, nor is there any passable connection with Discovery Bay as the
creek discharges over a bluff more than 50 feet in height. The channel appears likely to
be intennittent in flow, drying up in the summer months. We have tentatively classified
this as a Type 4 stream, requiring a 100 foot buffer according to the Jefferson County
Code.
The Jefferson County Uniform Development Code contains provisions for buffer averaging,
and in certain cases, reduction of the standard buffer zone, provided certain conditions are
met. Such reduction, (beyond buffer averaging, which will probably not be possible on this
property due to its configuration) requires preparation of a Habitat Management Plan.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Conclusions
One Type II wetland was found on the property. This was a forested wetland with an
adjacent forest area containing a well developed second growth association of Douglas fir,
alder and western red cedar. The wetland was found to be greater than 2,5oo~ ~~ feet
in size and the wetland continues a short distance up the ravine that supplies its water
supply. Buffer zones of 100 feet have been mapped around this wetland. The site of the
proposed residence should be placed outside of this buffer zone as per Jefferson County
regulations (Jefferson County 2(01). If a Habitat Management Plan is prepared, it may
be possible to reduce this buffer zone.
~~.
4.2 Recommendations
Figure 3 shows mapped locations of the regu~atoty wetland and stream corridor found on
the Site. A recommended 100 foot buffer zone adjacent to the wetland has also been
flagged in the field as shown on Figure 3. No structures, grading, excavating, filling,
draining or other activities which may adversely affect the wetland may be carried out in
the wetland or in the buffer zone as per Section 3.6.9 of the Unified Development Code.

markers and intermediate flagging tape where necessary. All trees greater than 3" diameter
at breast height within each quadrat were recorded.
** DBH indicates tree diameter in inches measured at breast height (approximately 4 feet)
measured with a DBH tape.
*** Age was determined by sample tree cores, and counting growth rings on those cores.
Two sample cores were taken for cedar, two for alder and one for maple. Average rings
per inch of radius was determined to be 5.3 for alder, 6.7 for cedar and 4.9 for maple.
