REPORT
SUMMARY
Clark Land Office located in Port Angeles did a wetland inventory of the land in August
of 2000 owned by Mrs. Odessa Berggren. The biologist for Clark Land Office delineated two
forested wetlands and mentioned an emergent wetland occurring on the property in the report.
One forested wetland was delineated as a strip of lands across the north half of the parcel and
connecting into an emergent pasture wetland. The northern boundary of the wetland was
estimated but was not critical for buffer establishment for any type of development. The southern
boundary of this wetland was delineated until it reached the west edge of a dense stand of
Himalayan blackberry. The boundary location was estimated across the blackberry to the pasture
area. The second forested wetland was located in the southwest quarter of the parcel. The
biologist classified the wetland areas as Class n W~ since the wetland areas are part of a
larger wetland area. In the year 2000 Jefferson County Unified Development Code required a 50-
foot buffer for Class H Wetland with the development of single-family residences and associated
appurtenances (minor-new-developments). When the Unified Development Code was amended
by, Ordinance (06-0600-03) in 2003 wetland buffer requirements were changed to have one
buffer width regardless of type of development. Due to the amendment of the buffer width for
wetlands, Mr. Vandike is now required to apply a l00-foot buffer to the wetlands.
Because the time for the first permits issued for development bad expired and there bas
been 3.5 years since the last wetland inventory, it was decided. to re-inventory the wetland areas.
A few of the wetland stations established by Clark Land Office were still present but many areas
had to be re-flagged to re- establish the wetland boundaries and additional wetland boundaries
stations were placed to better reflect the actual wetland boundaries. This report documents. the
findings and determination of the wetlands and buffers on this parcel.
Three wetlands exist on the parcel. Two of the wetlands are an extension of a larger
wetland area that extends to the south and slightly to the east of the parcel. There are two areas of
forested wetlands on the parcel and one area of wetland emergent pasture. The northern-forested
wetland is hydrologically connected to the emergent pasture wetland by a small man made
drainage. The first forested wetland located in the southwest quarter of the parcel is a red alder
forest wetland with an understory that is dominated with Facultative (F AC) and Facultative Wet
(F ACW) grasses and forbs and (F ACW) salmonberry. The northern wetland is also a red alder
forested wetland with an understory dominated by salmonberry with lesser amounts of skunk
cabbage and creeping buttercup. The northern wetland boundary turns north about 3/4s of the
way cross the parcel and goes across the northern property boundary of the parcel. What appears
to be a very small man made drainage ditch exits this wetland where the eastern boundary turns to
the north. This dminage ditch continues in a northeastern direction crossing the north property
line and when in use it empties into a livestock-watering trough on the adjacent parcel. If the
water trough is not is being used the water is piped underground back to the parcel at the southern
edge of the right away where it then flows east to the north-south irrigation ditch. An upland
ridge containing second growth forest of Douglas fir, Western red cedar and red alder separates
the two-forested wetlands. The understory of the uplands is dominantly salmonberry with
batches of red elder berry, Indian plum, swordfern and salal. A wide strip of dense Himalayan
blackberry starts.oo the East End of the southern-forested wetland and continues along the East
"
End of the parcel between the forested upland rid e and forested wetlands. The strip of
Himalayan blackberry separates the wetlands and plands from the upland and wetland pasture
areas. A narrow strip of upland pasture separates e strip of Himalayan blackberry from the
wetland pasture area. The wetland pasture area dominant vegetation consisting of Reed
canarygrass, soft rush and Agrostis sp. . Soils on e parcel are identified by the soil survey as
Alderwood gravelly ashy looms and Sehliahmoo uck Alderwood gravelly ashy loam soils are
located on the uplands. The forested w~lands ba e a mucky ashy loam soil and the Semiahmoo
muck occurs on the northeast and souttiest ends 0 the pasture wetland. An irriSation ditch is
present along side and just within th$Pf . boundary. The irrigation ditch drains to the

WETLAND AND BUFFER AREA DELINEATIONS
One transect line was run to ~Iish two mpass stations :from the right away survey
marker located 30 feet south of the northeast prope corner. These two compass stations are
marked on the ground with 2x2 wood stakes. The '0 compass stations were used to document th~
location of Wetland #3-Pasture and the associated tions (Sta.P 1-11) used to mark the boundary i
which occurs on the East End of the parcel. Comp s Station 1 was used to document the location!
of Wetland #I-Forested (StaF5-StaF39 and the s I stream StaFI-StaF4. Station F5 was the
turning station for measuring the boundary and lod;ttion of Wetland #4 Shrub Arpa. The location
and distances of the stations locating Wetland #2-FPrested (StaF 1-17) were meaSured from the :
right away survey marker located near the southw comer of the parcel. The bjearings and !

WETLAND ANDBUFPER AREA DELINEATIONS CONTINUED
In the field, the wetland boundaries and associated stations are identified with orange
ribbon with the words "wetland boundary" stenciled on it. Several stations still have the pink and
blue and white stripped ribbon used by ClaIk Land Office. The pink n1>bon is stenciled with the
words "wetland boundary". The ribbon is tied to shrub or tree branches except in the pasture
where the ribbon is tied to wooden lath stakes. The other wetlands have a 2x4x24 inch stakes at
the start and ends of the wetland boundary lines and generally at every fourth statiQn. These stakes
have the wetland boundary stenciled orange nobon tied to them. Those stations with stakes are
identified in the Bearing and Distance Table in Appendix C.
WETLAND BUFFER REQUIREMENTS:
Buffer Requirement and Markina - In Jefferson County Unified Development Code
(JCUOC) Section 3 .6.9d(5) V (Table 3-4) a Category n Wetland requires a IOO-foot standard
buffer between the desigNttoo wetland and the adjacent proposed project. The buffer area not
bounded by the wetlands are presently marked by wooden lath stakes with pink and white ribbons
with statioo DUmber that read StaB I-StaB? The areas of buffer are identified on the Wetland
Classifieation/Desigoaton Area Drawing in Appeodix C. Once the wetland delineation report is
approved the buffer perimeter associated with the project area will be temporaJy signed with signs
which sbaJ) read "Wetland & Buffer - Do Not Remove or Alter Existing Native Vegetation
(JCUDC Section 3.6.9d4ii). The characteristics of the buflin are present in Table 4 on Page 6.
WETLAND BUFFER REDUCTION INCLUDING
REDUCING BUFFER wmms AND BUFFER AVERAGING
Dwellina Development Area
The owner is planning to construct a round 34-foot diameter single story single family
dwelling. Due to the shape of the 2,184.8 square foot (ft2) non-buffer ~ it is necessary to buffer
average because the non-buffer is not wide enough to accommodate the size oftbe dwelling. h was
decided to have a circular area to represent the area to locate the dwelling on. This allows

Approximately 1700 ft2 of the eastern end f the non-buffer and the average allowable
buffering area is situated on Alderwood ~ils that e from 10 to 15 percent slOpes. This
includes the non-buffer area between thd Stations 2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7. Alderwood soils on
these slopes are rated as having a hazar4 ohvater ion of moderate. Placing the area of
development to the very northwest end prevents co iderable excavation from occurring in a
moderate erosion hazard area to put in ai concrete s ab for the dwelling. It also prevents additional
construction for drainage around the dwelling and I s excavation for the driveway and parking
area at the dwelling site. It requires an area to sit the excavated soils, as there will not be
enough area within the dwelling development area t deposit and stabilize the soils.
The development area site (2,122 f{z) was be just outside the moderate erosion hazard
area buffer area and would be placed partially in ad old orchard containing apple, pear and cherry
trees. The orchard has been taken over 1j)y Himala)ian blackberry because the orchard has not been:
kept up for many years. At least two 014 apple tret$ (estimated to be near 100 ytiars old) are still
viable trees and at the request of the owners the de~lopment area site has been rrtoved further
northwest to save the two trees. One to two pear tJ'i s will have to be removed to acconunodate
construction of the dwelling and probably could no be saved anyway due to past neglect of the
orchard.

WETLAND BUFFER REDUcnoN CONTINUED
Placiaatbe dwelling development area further to the northwest requires buffer
averaging ad an additional reduction in wetland buffer. In addition, the existing driveway into
the property will require additional buffer reduction. As documented below the buffer averaged
area meets only two of the three criteria requirements in Section 3.6.100)(2) (JCUOC) do to the
requiremaJt to have additional buffer reduction beyond the 25 percent buffer reduction allowed
under buffer averaging.
The provisions for meeting the above requirements for requesting and obtaining buffer
averaging and additional buffer reduction for the dwelling development site are addressed below
1. Width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland functional values.
· The dwelling development area will occur on a relative :flat area with slopes that
range from 1 to 3 percent.
· This dwelling development area will require less soil excavation and consequently
less potential for soil erosion. The minor amount of excavated material can be
spread out over the dwelling development area to make it completely level.
· It will require Jess soiJ excavatioo to bring the driveway to the site.
2. The total area contained witbio the wetland buffer after averagina is not less
than that contained within the standard buffer prior to avenging.
· The area of buffer used for averaging will be replaced by using an equal amount
of the non-buffer area on moderate soil hazard area. The replacement buffer area
will be a mitigation site to replace the Himalayan blackberry that dominates that
portion of the non-buffer. The non-buffer area replacement will be planted with
natural shrubs and forbs in support of any red alder that is present.
3. The standard buffer width has not been reduced by more than twenty-five
(25) percent.
· Due to the request to save the two old apple trees, the dwelling development area
extend into the buffer area beyond the limitations allow for buffer averaging. The
buffer averaged area in the dwelling development area is more than half of the
buffer area need for the development. TabJe 5 below gives the square feet and the
percent of area oftbe dwelling development area that occurs in the non-buffer
area, buffer averaging area and tbe buffer reduction area.
· The buffer reduction area required beyond buffer averaging for the dwelling
development area is slightly less than 75 feet from the wetlands on the south and
north sides of the circle. The minimwn distances to the two forest wetlands are
shown in Table 5 and are shown in the Wetland ClassificatioolDesignation Area
Including Development Site and General Enhancement Areas Drawings.
Appendix C
· The buffer area used by both buffer averaging and buffer reduction do not equal
the total amount of the remaining area of the non-buffer area (Table 5). This

WETLAND B1JIl'l1'ER REDUcnON CONTINUED
This additional turn around is planned because oft.be limited turn around area at the dwelling
development area. The base area for the driveway will be approximately 14 foot wide. A 14-foot
wide clearing for the driveway will result in a buffer reduction of 3,046.4 square feet.
1. This is the 0DIy logical place to locate the road. Buffer reduction will not
adversely impact the wetland functional values for the following reasons.
· The first 168.9 feet of the extension will be placed on slope gradients less than 10
percent.
· The 48.8-foot part of the extension will be on slopes that range from I to 3 percent
and is on the same topographic position as the dwelling development area.
· There is sufficient large size residual conifers boarding the South Edge of Wetland
# I and well established. second growth red alder. Native shrubs and ferns are well
established and supply sufficient vegetative ground cover for soil and wetland
protection between the road and Wetland # 1.
· The extension driveway location requires no removal of conifer trees and will
minimize the removal of red alder for driveway placement.
· This location will allow for the minimum amount of soils and vegetation
disturbance to take place. This location should only require the minimum of soil
excavation for clearing vegetation with minimal slope cutting if any.
· The only excavation to occur will be for the power and telephone cables, which
should be placed on the South Edge of the driveway.
2. The placement of the driveway and small turn around will reduce the total
wetland buffer by approrim.ueJy 3,384.4 square feet.
· The area of buffer reduction will be offset by enhancing an equal amount of the
non-wetland shrub buffer area on the moderate soil hazard area. The eobancement
of the non-buffer area wiD be to replace the dense Himalayan blackberry with
native shrubs and forbs in support of any red alder and salmonberry that is
present.
· A buffer enbancement plan is include in a separate document from this wetland
sensitive delineation and classification report.
Wetland and Buffer Measurements:
The bearings and distances of the wetland stations for the wetland boundary in the drawing
of this report were established using a Surveyor's model jake staff compass and Suunto band held
compass and a engineering metal hip chain. The drawing in this report is not a legal survey but
the property boundaries of the parcel were transferred from a legal survey and
measurements are established from the established JO..foot right away markers near the
northeast and southwest corners of the property.

Two levels of infonnation were gathered for this analysis. 1hese included:
a) Review of preliminary site data and,
b) On-site investigation to determine the presence ofwetJan.ds.
a) A review of existing information was conducted to develop badcground knowledge of
physical features, and to identify the potential for wetland occurrence on the subject
property. The resource documents available for preliminary review of the site conditions
included: USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS), "Soil Survey of Jefferson County
Area Washington", (1990) aerial photography, and Jefferson County Planning
Department data.
b) During the on-site investigation, wetland areas were determined and verified on the basis
of~ parameters: Hydrophytic Vegetation, Hydric Soils, and WetlaDd Hydrology, as
recommended in the Was.nirton State Identification and Delineation Muu" (Was'inaton
State Department of Ecology, Ecology Publication ##96-944, March 1997). Wetlands
categories and wetland vegetation classes were identified and classified using the W..hilwton
sate Wed.... RatiD2 SYStem of Western WasIain2ton. Second EditioB (Washington State
Department of Ecology, Ecology Publication #93-74, August 1993).
A positive wetJand determination is made when aU three parameters are present, or in certain
situations determined following the guidelines recommended in wetland determination procedures, or for
atypical situations or problem areas.
HvdroDbvtic Ve,etation
Areas where more than 50% of the dominant species present from all strata are hydrophytes
(plants adapted to growth and reproduction in saturated soil conditions) are considered to be inside the
wetland boundary, unless clear evidence of hydric soils or wetland hydrology cannot be established. A
species is considered dominant if it is equal to or greater than 20010 areal cover, or exerts a controlling
influence on, or defines the character of a community. Hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be
present, when under nonnal circumstances:
More than 50% of the dominant plant species in a plant community have an indicator
category ofObJigate Wetland (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), and/or Facultative (FAC) as listed in
"National List ofPlant Species that Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9)", (Reed, Porter B., Jr.,
1988), and the "1993 Supplement to National ListofPlant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest
(Region 9)" dated December 1993 that became effective on March 31, 1994. Indicator categories of
F ACW+, F ACW-, FAC+, are included as F ACW status,
'F AC+ species are considered to be wetter (i.e., have a greater estimated probability of occurring
in wetlands) than FAC species, while FAC- species are considered to be drier (i.e., have a lesser estimated
probability of occurring in wetlands) than F AC species.' Plant indicator status definitions are presented in
TABLE 1 below.
"
This Plant Indicator Status Categories systemlwas developed for the USFWS National Wetla ds
Inventory by Cowarclin et al. (1979). The National PlaOt List Panel, Reed, Porter B., and Jr. modified it in
1988 and 1993. The Wetland Indicator Category (WIC) used in this report refers to the plants lndicat r
Svmbol as referred to in the tabfe below.
Purpose ud Approach Continued
! I
National Indicators reflect the ra e of esti~ated probabilities (expressed as a frequen~y of
occurrence) of a species occurring in a wet and versu a non-wetland across the e~., ire distribution q,f the
species. ("National List of Plant Species th t Occur i Wetlands: Northwest (RegioI19)", Reed, Porter B.,
Jr., 1988), and the 1993 Suppfement to Li of Plant pecies That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region
9) dated December 1993 that became effe 've on Match 31, 1994. Percentages expressed as estimated

Hydric Soils
There have been tremendous scientific chan8es since 1 91 in several of the indicators such as the
introduction of aquic conditions to cover th~ requirem s for saturation, reduction. and morphological
indicators used to define the modified aquicmoisture f ime, and mottles and low chroma colors being
replaced by redoximorphic features. Because of these hanges, we consult the US Department of
Agriculture, Natural Resource ConservationiService. 998. "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the
United States, Reversion 5.1". G. W. Hurt, Whited, P. M., and Pringle, R. F. (eds.), ,uSDA, NRCS, Ft.
Worth, TX for guidance and decision in mal{ing finaJ hydric soils determinations. I .
Re~~~~ ;;J;~~~~=::~~cl~~~;~~~~~~: j~ ~~~j of
the Criteria for Hydric Soils definition is being observ~. The main purpose for the ~teria is to creat<:
I I
...
.'
Hydric Soil Lists. Criteria 1, 3, and 4 can serve as both database criteria and as indicators for
identification of hydric soils. When Criteria 1,3, and 4 are used to document the presence of a hydric soil,
proof that anaerobiosis exists must also be obtained. Criterion 2 serves only to retrieve hydric soils :from
the database. Also, the wording for Criteria 1 and 2 were changed in 1999 to incorporate recent changes
in Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Start: 1999).
Purpose and Approach CODtbauecl
Field indicators ofhydric soil conditions in this document, (Land Resource Region (LRR) A that
includes Western Washington), are presented here in an abbreviated form and include:
(1) ALL SOILS:
AI. Histosols - (organic soils having 16 inches or more of the upper 32 inches as organic
peat or muck soil material); Al. Histic EpipedODS - (normally a peat or muck surface horizon or
layer 8 inches or more thick); and A4. Hydrogen sulfide - (sulfidic odor in soil material within 12
inches of the soil surface).
(2) SANDY SOILS:
SI - a nmcky modified mineral layer; S4 - a gleyed matrix; ss - sandy redox concentrations;
and S6 - a matrix stripped of iron/manganese oxides and/or organic matter.
(3) LOAMY AND CLAYEY SOILS:
Fl - a mucky modified mineral layer; F2 - a gleyed matrix; F3; - a depleted matrix without a
dark surfiace and F4 and F5 - a depleted matrix with dark or thick dark surfilces; F6 - a dark
surface and a redox 4 inch thick layer $12 inches deep with a matrix value $3 with a chroma $1 or
2 or less with ~% and ~5% distinct or prominent redox concentrations respectively; F7 - a dark
surlace layer with redox depletions 4 inch thick with value ~5 and chroma ~ and $ 12 :from the
surface of the soil that has a matrix value S3 and chroma $1 or ~ and ~l 0% and ~OOIO redox
depletions respectively; and F8 - redox concentration within 6 inches of a soil surface in
depressions subject to panding.
Wetland HvdrolO2V
Water is the driving force for wetlands. Indications ofwetJand hydrology are those where the
presence of water has an overriding influence on characteristics of vegetation and soils due to anaerobic
and reducing conditions, respectively.
Areas that are seasonally saturated and/or inundated to the surface for a consecutive number of
days for more than 12.5% oftbe growing season are wetlands provided the soil and vegetation pammeters
are met. Areas wet between 5% and 12% of the growing season in most years mayor may not be
wetlands. Areas saturated to the surface for less than 5% of the growing season are non-wetlands.
Wetland hydrology exists if field indicators are present.
Field indicators of wetland hydrology may include, but are not limited to visual observations of
inundation, ponding, soil saturation, oxidized root channels (rhizospheres) associated with living roots
and rhizomes, watennarks, drift lines, water-borne sediment deposition, or wetland drainage patterns.
The growing season starting and ending dates are required to evaluate hydrologic data. For
"
i
Purpose and Approach Continued I J~
wetland determinations, the growing season is detekined using the local SCS. county soils eys.
Generally, the growing season is calculated based on ~ "28 degrees F or lower" te~perature thresh Id at
a frequency of "5 years in 10", For muchofwesterQ. Washington at low elevatio/lS, the mesic gro~ng
season (March 1 to October 31) has been considered a;good rule. However, in somt areas of the Pugtt
Sound Lowlands and coastal areas the growing season occurs all year round because the soil temperature
at 19.7 inches below the soil surfuce is highFr than 41 grees F.
