Re: Wetland Delineation and Categorization for the 5 acre parcel (Tax Parcel #601-105-

This Pllrcel is located in the NE \4 of the SE \4 of Section 10, Township 26 N,

Dear Ken:
This wetland delineation was conducted on January 18, 2006 to confirm findings of an
earlier delineation (April 2(02) and to identify the western boundary of the wetland on the
above referenced parcel. The delineation was conducted using the Department of Ecology,
Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Publication 1196-74), as
required by the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance, This manual utilizes the three
parameter methodology to determine the presence or absence of wetlands. The parameters
are wetland hydrology, hydric soil, and hydrophytic vegetation and positive indicators of all
three wetland parameters must be present for an area under normal circumstances to be
considered a wetland. The use of this manual and the three wetland parameter methodology
on this parcel revealed that the site and wetland is under normal circumstances,
This parcel is Lot I of the Blueberry Hill Large Lot Subdivision, which is northwest lot
accessed via the cul-de-sac at the end of Blueberry Hill Road. It is currently undeveloped
and there is additional undeveloped land to the east. The lot immediately south is partially
developed with a garage near the shared property line and a cleared utility path running
along the property line. The parcels appear to have been clear cut at some time in the past
20 years and the vegetation community is re,developing with scattered young conifers and
heavy low shrub cover. The east end of this parcel was cleared in preparation for
construction of the proposed pole barn at the northeast comer of the lot.

The January 2006 delineation was conducted as a follow up to the delineation conducted by
Olympic Wetland Resources in April 2002 and to provide new information concerning the
category and required wetland buffers. The 2002 delineation identified the eastern
boundary of the wetland and the 2006 delineation identified the northern point and west
boundary. The eastern boundary of the wetland was checked during the Wiltermood
Associates January 2006 visit and we found that the 2002 delineation accurately identified
the wetland boundary, The wetland lies across the east half of the property and is confined
to a narrow swale at the base of moderate and gradual slopes down from the east and west.
The slopes form a shallow trough in which the wetland is situated and outside the trough,
the terrain is fairly level particularly on the east side, The wetland meets the criteria for a
Category II system because it is composed of three vegetation communities and is
associated with a seasonal stream,
The proposed pole barn has been positioned so that it adheres to the minimum side and rear
yard setbacks, which places it 15 feet from the north and east property boundaries,
Constructing the pole barn in the proposed location also allows it to be as far from the
wetland as possible to meet the required buffers and permit easy access from the driveway,
This letter includes a delineation map, description of wetland and upland conditions with
respect to the data collected in the field, the wetland category and required buffers. It
includes background information obtained from the National Wetlands Inventory, Jefferson
County Soil Survey and Jefferson County Wetland Inventory,
The on-site soils are mapped as Sne Sinclair gravelly sandy loam, 0-15% slopes, according
to the Soil Conservation Service (now the National Resources Conservation Service), Soil
Survey of Jefferson County Area, Washington, August 1975. Sinclair soils are not
classified as hydric and do not contain inclusions of hydric soil. A perched water

table is common above a cemented layer during the rainy season in Sinclair soils. See
enclosed map for site located on the soil survey and see enclosed soil descriptions for
additional information on the mapped soils.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), Quilcene
Quadrangle, does not map wetlands on this site. There are Palustrine, Scrub/Shrub,
Seasonally flooded wetlands off-site to the north and east, which are greater than 150 feet
from the parceL See enclosed map for site located on the NWI.
The Jefferson County Wetland Inventory available at htlP://maps.co.iefferson.wa,us
indicates the presence of a wetland beginning at the south edge of this property, extending
south across the adjacent lot and ending abruptly two lots to the south, The wetland
mapping does not correspond to the delineated on-site wetland as it has been identified
across the east half of the property beginning at the north line and extending off-site to the
south. See attached map for location of the mapped wetland.
The west edge of the wetland is delineated with 17 labeled orange survey ribbons beginning
at about the north property line and ending at the south property line, To confirm the
wetland delineation, two test holes were conducted in the wetland and two in the upland
areas, The 2002 delineation showed the wetland extending off-site to the north but the 2006
delineation revealed that the wetland actually ends near the north property line and does not
extend off-site. A test hole was conducted in the off-site area to confirm the absence of
wetlands off,site to the north. Test Holes 3 and 5 are located in the wetland while Test
Holes 1,2 and 6 are located in the surrounding upland, At each test hole, a 16 inch soil pit
was completed to document the absence of hydric (wetland) soil conditions and the absence
of wetland hydrology indicators. In a 30-foot diameter circle around the test holes, the
dominant vegetation was recorded in order to determine whether or not the hydrophytic
vegetation criterion is met. Areas having positive indicators for all three wetland
parameters meet the wetland criteria whereas, areas lacking positive indicators for one or
Shock

more of the three wetland parameters do not meet the wetland criteria, Following is a
description of th.e data collected at each of the nine test holes. See attached drawing for
approximate location of the wetland and upland test holes.
The delineation revealed that the wetland begins just off"site to the north and extends across
the property to the driveway on the adjacent south property. Water continues to flow
southerly through the system via a culvert under the driveway leading to the garage just off-
site to the south. The wetland on this parcel is composed of a narrow forested community
along the west edge with scrub/shrub patches and emergent community throughout the
remainder of the system, The dominant shrub species is hardhack (Spiraea douglasiz)
FACW and the dominant emergent species is slough sedge (Carex obnupta) OBL, which
occurs in all three wetland communities, Slough sedge is the dominant understory species
in the hardhack dominated areas and hardhack is present at lower percentages in the slough
sedge dominated areas, There are lower percentages of other species in both communities
that include western red cedar (Thuja pUcata) FAC; red alder (Alnus rubra) FAC; Pacific
crabapple (Malusfusca) FACW; salal (Gaultheria shallon) FACU; sword fern (Polystichum
munitum) FACU; and bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) FACU. The plant communities
within the wetland indicate the system was likely a forested mosaic system prior to clearing
of trees with upland species (salal, sword fern and bracken fern) growing on hummocks
above the wetter areas containing dominant species (slough sedge, hardhack, western red
cedar, red alder and Pacific crabapple), The predominance of vegetation within the wetland
is composed of plants having indicator statuses of F ACW and OBL so the hydrophytic
vegetation criterion is met.
The soil at Test Holes 3 and 5 was not examined during the January 2006 delineation
because standing water to a depth of 12 inches was present throughout the wetland, The
soils are assumed hydric based on the presence of standing water throughout. Data
collected during the 2002 Olympic Wetland Resources delineation indicate the soils are

composed of a clay loam revealed within about 10 inches of the soil surface having a low
matrix chroma of 2.5 Y 4/2 with mottles of 10 YR 5/6 lying beneath a slightly darker
surface horizon having a matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/1. The hydric soil colors and presence
of mottling as well as the presence of standing water throughout the wetland indicates that
the soil in the wetland meets the hydric soil criteria.
Standing water was present throughout the wetland to a depth of 12 inches and the debris
lines above the January 18,2006 water level indicate water can be up to 18 inches deep in
some areas. It is assumed that the soils are saturated to the surface causing the water to
stand throughout the wetland. The source of hydrology appears mainly to be a perched
water table because of the wetland's depressional position in the landscape. Water also
appears to enter the wetland from swale to the north and from overland flow originating at
the wetland off-site to the north and mainly during the winter months, During a visit to the
site on March 21,2006, water was observed flowing from this off-site source, Water
appears to be flowing south through the wetland but not through a defmed swale or stream
channeL Water exits the on-site wetland at the south property line where it immediately
enters a culvert under a gravel driveway just off, site to the south. It appears that wetland
continues southerly to Coyle Road and it is possible the wetland flows into the ditch during
the winter. No formal stream channel or wetland conditions were observed along either
Blueberry Hill or Coyle Roads to indicate a continuation of water flow into another body of
water or wetland system. The wetland hydrology criterion is met in the delineated wetland
because water was present as standing water and there was evidence of slightly higher water
levels,
Test Hole I is located just off-site to the north within the swale leading into the northern
point of the delineated wetland, This area is dominated by low growing species that are re-
vegetating after the site was clear cut. The dominant species in this area include western
rhododendron (Rhododendron macrophyllum) UPL; salal (Gaultheria shallon) FACU and

sword fern (Polystichum munitum) F ACU. Lower percentages of wild cherry (Prunus
emarginata) FACU; Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesil) FACU; evergreen huckleberry
(Vaccinium ovatum) FACU; hardhack (Spiraea douglasil) FACW; velvet grass (Holcus
lanatus) FAC; bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) FACU; and foxglove (Digitalis
purpurea) FACU are also present in this upland area, The soil test hole revealed a single
layer gravelly sandy loam profile that has a non-hydric matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/3.
Standing water was present in this area due to heavy rainfall that had occurred prior to the
delineation site visit but was not present in the soil profile. The hole began filling up with
water as the hole was dug indicating that the soils are not saturated with ground or surface
water for a significant duration of the growing season. There was no evidence of wetland
hydrology in this area,
Test Hole 2 is located west of the wetland in an area of water sheet flowing apparently
through the upland from the off-site wetland due to copious amounts of rainfall occurring
within the weeks prior to the delineation site visit. This area has a forest canopy that has
60 % closure and is dominated by western red cedar (Thuja plicata) F AC and red alder
(Alnus rubra) FAC. The understory is dominated by nearly 100% cover by sword fern (P.
munitum) FACU with lesser percentages of evergreen huckleberry (V. ovatum) FACU;
salal (G, shallon) FACU and slough sedge (C obnupta) OBL. The soil test hole revealed a
single layer sandy loam profile that has a non-hydric matrix chroma of 2.5 Y 4/3, without
mottling, Water was sheet flowing through this area during the delineation site visit due to
the tremendous amount of rainfall occurring in the weeks prior to the site visit. Water was
about 4 inches deep and was observed flowing downslope to the wetland over the ground
instead of through a defined channel. It was determined to not be wetland hydrology
because of the soils lacking hydric soil matrix chroma and other hydric soil characteristics
and the vegetation is dominated by non,wetland plant species,

Test Hole 6 is located in upland west of the delineated wetland toward the south end of the
property. The vegetation in this area was logged along with the rest of the site and the
community is currently recovering. The young trees in this area include red alder (A.
rubra) FAC; western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) FACU; Douglas fir (P. menziesil)
FACU; and madrona (Arbutus menziesii) UPL. The thick understory is dominated by a
mixture of salal (G. shallon) FACU and sword fern (P. munitum) FACU with lower
percentages of evergreen huckleberry (V, ovatum) FACU and slough sedge (G. obnupta)
OBL. The soil test hole revealed the presence of a single layer gravelly sandy loam that has
a non-hydric matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/3, Hydrology was not present in this area and
there was no evidence of wetland hydrology,
The upland data was mainly collected to verify the delineation of the western boundary but
because there are similar conditions on the east side, the data collected for this delineation
also represent the eastern boundary delineation, The areas sampled at the upland test holes
are determined to be non-wetland because there are no positive indicators for any of the
wetland parameters. The vegetation community is composed predominantly of upland plant
species with only low percentages of FAC or OBL species. The soils have non-hydric
profile conditions (high matrix chroma, no mottles and no organic soils) and while there is
hydrology in some locations, it is not considered wetland hydrology because it is occurring
on the surface and is not saturating the soil profile, There are no indicators of long term or
wetland hydrology either on the surface of the soil or within the soil profile.
The wetland has been categorized using the Washington State Wetlands Rating System,
Second Edition (1993 edition) in accordance with the Jefferson County Critical Areas
Ordinance, This system utilizes a rating form that differentiates wetlands according to
specific characteristics and assigns points on how well individual wetlands fit the listed
characteristics, It meets the criteria for a Category III system using this rating system
because it is 2-3 acre system that is composed of three vegetation communities and is

associated with a seasonal stream. The buffers are wider than 100 feet around for more
than 'h the wetland circumference and there are somewhat disturbed corridors to other
habitat areas. See attached wetland rating form for additional rating information.
Section 3.6.9 - WETLANDS of the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance states that
100 foot buffers are required from the delineated boundaries of Category II wetland
systems. Buffers are to remain in a natural vegetated condition except where the vegetation
has been disturbed by highly undesirable noxious weeds such as Himalayan blackberry,
These noxious weeds can be eradicated and the buffers can be replanted with approved
native species, Any mechanized activity in the buffers such as logging, ground moving or
native vegetation removal must first be authorized by Jefferson County. The current
project proposes to construct a pole barn at the very northeast corner of the property within
15 feet of both the north and east property lines, Placing the barn in this location allows
compliance with the 100 foot buffer requirement. The pole barn is well outside the
required buffer and will not have a negative impact on the wetland or buffer area.
In summary, this delineation was conducted on the 5 acre parcel at 345 Blueberry Hill
Drive in the Coyle area of Jefferson County, Washington, A pole barn is proposed at the
northeast corner of the property where it can be as far from the delineated wetland as
possible. The wetland lies in a narrow, shallow trough across the east half of the property
and is composed of three vegetation communities, it is associated with a seasonal stream
and has buffers of 100 feet for at least '/2 of the wetland circumference. Because of its
characteristics, the wetland meets the criteria for a Category II wetland for which a 100 foot
buffer is required, according to the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance, The pole
barn is located well outside the required buffer from the eastern boundary of the wetland,
which was delineated by Olympic Wetland Resources in April 2002 and confirmed during
Shock

the Wiltermood Associates western boundary delineation conducted in January 2006.
Construction of the pole barn will not have an adverse impact on the Category II wetland
system.

Notes:
1. These buffers are one part of the complete requirements necessary to qualify for a waiver. See subsection (2) of
this section.
2. These are not standard wetland buffers: they are optional buffers for cases when a delineation is not made. These
minimum waiver buffers, shown in Table 3-3, are 1.5 times the standard buffer widths identified in this article. If a
single-family residence, building envelope, or setback line in a subdivision is proposed to be closer to the wetland
than the distance identified in the table, a wetland delineation report must he performed.
3. The same opportunities for exemption from delineation shall apply to uncategorized wetlands. The department of
community development shall be responsible for determining the wetland category.
4. The following shall not be located within the distances identified in the table: (a) single-family residences and all
accessory structures and uses; (b) subdivision building envelopes and setback lines.
(3) Drainage and Erosion Control. An applicant submitting a project application shall also submit, and have approved, a
drainage and erosion control plan as specified in this chapter. The plan shall discuss, evaluate and recommend methods to
minimize sedimentation of designated wetlands during and after construction.
(4) Buffer Marking. Upon approval of the delineation report the location of the outer extent of the wetland buffer shall
be marked in the field as follows:
(a) A permanent physical separation along the upland boundary of the wetland buffer area shall be installed and
permanently maintained. Such separation may consist of logs, a tree or hedge row, or other prominent physical
marking approved by the administrator.
(b) Buffer perimeters shall he marked with temporary signs at an interval of one per parcel or every 100 feet,
whichever is less. Signs shall remain in place prior to and during approved construction activities. The signs shall
contain the following statement: "Wetland & Buffer - Do Not Remove or Alter Existing Native Vegetation."
(c) In the case of short plat, long plat, binding site plan, and site plan approvals under this code, the applicant
shall include on the face of any such instrument the boundary of the wetland and its buffer.
(d) The applicant may also choose to dedicate the buffer through a conservation easement or deed restriction
that shall be recorded with the Jefferson County auditor. Such easements or restrictions shall, however, use the
forms approved by the prosecuting attorney.
(5) Buffers - Standard Requirements. The following buffer provisions shall apply:
(a) Buffer areas shall be required to provide sufficient separation hetween the designated wetland and the
adjacent proposed project.
(b) The appropriate width oflhe wetland buffer shall be determined by either: application of the standard buffer
widths set forth below in Table 3-4; or by variations to the standard buffers as allowed in subsections (6), (7) and (8)
of this section.
( c) Buffers shall remain naturally vegetated except where the vegetation has been disturbed, invaded by highly
undesirable species (e.g., noxious weeds), or would substantially benefit from the increased diversity of introduced
species. Where buffer disturbance has occurred during construction, replanting with native vegetation shall be
required. Minor pruning of vegetation to enhance views and removal of undesirable species (e.g., alders) may be
permitted by the administrator on a case-by-case basis.

(6) Reducing Buffer Widths. The administrator may reduce the standard wetland buffer widths, when the project
applicant demonstrates both of the following to the satisfaction of the administrator:
(a) Standard wetland buffer width averaging as set forth in this article is unfeasible.
(b) The project application includes a buffer enhancement plan using native vegetation which substantiates that
an enhanced buffer will improve the functional attributes of the buffer to provide additional protection for functions
and values.
(7) Increasing Buffer Widths. The administrator may increase the standard wetland buffer widths when a larger buffer is
necessary to protect wetland functions and values based on local conditions. This determination shall be made only when the
department demonstrates anyone of the following through appropriate documentation:
(a) A larger buffer is necessary to maintain viable populations of existing species.
(b) The wetland is used by species listed by the Washington State Department of Wildlife as endangered,
threatened, or sensitive, or has documented priority species or habitats or essential or outstanding potential habitat
for those species, or has unusual nesting or resting sites (e.g., heron rookeries and raptor nesting trees).
(c) The adjacent land is susceptible to severe landslide or erosion, and erosion control measures will not
effectively prevent adverse wetland impacts.
(d) The adjacent land has minimal vegetative cover or slopes greater than 45 percent.
(8) Averaging Buffer Widths. The administrator may modify the standard wetland buffer widths set forth in this section
by averaging. Buffer width averaging shall be allowed only when an individual or firm meeting the criteria of JCC IS. 15 .400
(2) demonstrates all of the following to the satisfaction of the administrator:
(a) Width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland functional values;
(b) The total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is not less than that contained within the
standard buffer prior to .averaging;
(c) The standard buffer width has not been reduced by more than 25 percent. lOrd. 11-00 ~ 3.6.9(d)]

18.15.345 Noncompensatory enhancement.
Noncompensatory enhancement are those wetland enhancement projects which are conducted solely to increase the
functions and values of an existing wetland and which are not required to be conducted pursuant to the mitigation
requirements of lee 18.15.350. There are two types of noncompensatory enhancement:
(I) Type I Noncompensatory Enhancement Type I noncompensatory enhancement projects involve the filling,
draining, or excavating of a regulated wetland. All applications for Type I noncompensatory enhancement projects shall be
accompanied by an enhancement plan prepared in accordance with subsections (I)(a) and (I)(b) of this section, which
demonstrates that the proposed activities 'will result in an increase in wetland functions and values.
(a) The enhancement plan must be submitted for review and approval by the administrator:
(b) The enhancement plan must either be prepared by a qualified wetlands consultant or accepted in writing by
the u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife, or the Washington Department
of Ecology.
(2) Type 2 Noncompensatory Enhancement. Type 2 noncompensatory enhancement projects involve wetland alterations
that do not include the filling, draining, or excavating of a regulated wetland. Such projects might involve the removal of
non-native plant species or the planting of native plant species, All applications for Type 2 noncompensatory enhancement
projects shall be accompanied by an enhancement plan prepared in accordance with subsections (2)(a) through (2)(c) of this
section, which demonstrates that the proposed activities will result in an increase in wetland functions and values.
(a) The enhancement plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the administrator;

(iii) How the activity will be conducted, including the type(s) of tools or machinery to be used: and
(iv) The qualifications of the individual who will be conducting the enhancement activity.
(c) The enhancement plan must either be prepared by a qualified wetlands consultant or accepted in writing by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, or the Washington Department
of Ecology. [Ord. ] 1-00 ~ 3.6.9(e)]
18.15.350 . Mitigation,
The overall goal of mitigation shall be no net loss of wetland function, value, and acreage.
(1) Mitigation Sequence. Mitigation includes avoiding, minimizing, or compensating for adverse impacts to regulated
wetlands or their buffers. When a proposed use or development activity poses potentially significant adverse impacts to a
regulated wetland or its buffer, the preferred sequence of mitigation as defined below shall be followed unless the applicant
demonstrates that an overriding public benefit would warrant an exception to this preferred sequence.
(a) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of actions on that portion of the site
which contains the regulated wetland or its buffer;
(b) Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation;
(c) Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment;
(d) Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of
the action; or
(e) Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments.
(2) Compensatory Mitigation - General Requirements. As a condition of any penn it or other approval allowing
alteration which results in the loss or degradation of regulated wetlands, or as an enforcement action pursuant to Chapter
18.50 lCC, compensatory mitigation shall be required to offset impacts resulting from the actions of the applicant or any
code violator.
(a) Except persons exempt under this article, any person who alters or proposes to alter regulated wetlands shall
restore or create areas of wetland equivalent to or larger than those altered in order to compensate for wetland losses.
The following Table 3-5 specifies the ratios that apply to creation or restoration which is in-kind, on-site, and is
accomplished prior to or concurrently with alteration:

Notes:
I. The first number in the ratio specifies the acreage of wetlands to be created, and the second number specifies the acreage
of wetlands proposed to be altered or lost. The replacement ratios are derived from Department of Ecology Publication No.
97-112 (1998): "How Ecology Regulates Wetlands."
2. Enhancement of existing wetlands may be considered as compensation, but above ratios must then be doubled.
(b) Compensation must be completed prior to wetland destruction, where possible.
