From: Helena Smith <> Sent: Tuesday, August 9, 2022 4:17 PM To: 'ume.inc@aol.com' <ume.inc@aol.com> Subject: Stream Buffer and Stormwater Permit Good morning Mr. Huff, I am emailing about your stormwater management permit to remove trees on your property at 203 Tala Shore Drive. Your case number is ZON2022-00034. I reviewed your case with my supervisor, who determined that there is a mapped stream on your property. Is the stream present? If the stream is not present, we can schedule an inspection to confirm that it does not run on your property. If the stream is on your property, Jefferson County Code Chapter 18.22.630(5)(b) requires a 50 ft protective buffer from the stream’s ordinary high watermark. There are two options for continuing the permit with the buffer. First, you could choose not to remove trees that are within 50 feet of the of the stream. Not removing those particular trees would be the quickest option. The second option would be hiring a wildlife biologist to create a Habitat Management Plan that meets all the criteria listed in Jefferson County Code 18.22.950(3), available online at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/JeffersonCounty/#!/JeffersonCounty18/JeffersonCounty1822.html#18.22.950 Please let me know if the stream is present, and if it is, which option you would like to pursue for this permit. Thank you for your time.
