Critical Areas: Shoreline Conservancy for Chimacum Creek, Fish Habitat Stream, Wetlands, FEMA Flood Zone A – High Risk 100-year, Seismic Hazard, and Susceptible (SUSC) Critical Aquifer Recharge Area. Shoreline Regulations/Wetlands: The parcel contains shoreline jurisdiction for Chimacum Creek, mapped as Shoreline Conservancy, any new proposed development within this area, must comply with shoreline permitting requirements. It is unlikely development will occur in the shoreline, as the shoreline is surrounded by wetlands and wetland buffers. FEMA Flood Zone A: Any development occurring within the flood zone must comply with FEMA regulations and Jefferson County Code 15.15. Required Reports: All critical areas are either outside of project area or have been addressed under the zoning approval ZON15-00008 which allows for this phased development. No additional critical area reviews required, unless proposal changes to extend into critical areas, in which case a revision to the zoning approval would likely be required with additional special reports. Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices shall be implemented as conditioned on any permit approvals and as required in the current edition of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington. Jefferson County has adopted the most current edition of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington produced by Washington State Department of Ecology. • Stormwater Clearing Permits are required for ALL property clearing of 7000 square feet or greater. This can be obtained through a building permit or if you wish to clear the property prior to developing you must obtain a separate stormwater permit. This is required prior to clearing for septic installation • Stormwater Clearing Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any tree removal if within a critical area regardless of square feet being cleared. • Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces. • Building permits must address stormwater. o A small project is any impervious surface under 2000 square feet. You must meet minimum requirement #2. o A medium project is any impervious surface from 2000 to 4999 square feet or 7000 or more square feet of clearing. You must meet Minimum requirements #1-#5. Including on site stormwater management. Jefferson County will request you to design a stormwater management system as part of your building permit to address roof and other hard 3 surfaces. o A large project is any impervious surface from 5000 square feet or greater. You must meet all minimum requirements. Jefferson County will request you to design a stormwater management system as part of your building permit to address roof and other hard surfaces. If you reach a large project and your parcel is 5 acres or larger and you are not within an Urban Growth Area, an engineered stormwater plan is required to ensure low impact design standard is met. • If you plan on clearing the property and qualify under Department of Natural Resources (DNR) classification of needing a Forest Practices Application (FPA) you must work with our department first to obtain a Class IV General Stormwater Permit with SEPA to avoid a Development Moratorium. Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR to determine if your project meets their standard Next Steps: Apply for Development Permits.
