Re: Wetland Delineation on a 21.5 acre lot (Tax Parcel No. 9012540(2) located on SR
19, Chimacum, Jefferson County, Washington. This parcel is located in the NW 1/4
of the SE 1/4 of Sec 25, T 29 N, R 1 W. WM.
Dear Adam:
This delineation was completed on April 4,2006 using the Department of Ecology
Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, in accordance with the
Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance. This manual requires the use of the three-wetland
parameter methodology when determining the presence or absence of wetlands. All three
parameters of-wetland hydrology, hydric soils and hydrophytic vegetation must be present for
an area under normal circumstances to meet the wetland criteria. The site and wetland appear
to be under normal circumstances so the Routine On-Site Determination method was used to
delineate the wetlands and document the absence of wetlands on the rest of the property.
This rectangular 21.5 acre parcel is located in east Chimacum Valley on the west side of State
Route 19 in, Chimacum, Jefferson County, Washington. The parcel currently contains a barn
and grazed pasture (-to Buffalo) with an existing gravel drive off State Route 19 to the
barn. The parcel stretches across nearly the entire valley with the East Fork of Chimacum
Creek (Type 3) flowing north through the center. Peat Plank Road runs along the north
property line and a few -5 acre lots containing a homes sits to the west of the property. A
(historically ditched) Type 4 stream enters the site on the south side of the driveway, from a
culvert under SR 19. The stream runs along the eastern property line south until it hits the
southeast property comer, where it then flows along the south property line and into the
east fork of Chimacum Creek about 300 feet downstream. (See attached drawing). At the
SE property comer, the Type 4 stream has been ditched though an emergent wetland that
covers a large

percentage of the low areas in eastern Chimacum Valley. The emergent portion of this
wetland covers nearly the entire 21.5 acres with a swath of upland running along SR 19,
where the barn currently sits. A three bedroom home and septic system is proposed in the
very eastern side of the parcel outof the wetland and wetland bufferjust south and adjacent
to the barn.
The wetland is a Category I system that will require 150 foot buffers with a 5 foot
building/impervious setback because the water exiting the wetland feeds into a stream that
hosts a threatened species, Hood Canal summer chum populations (Oncorhynchus ketal.
The Type 3 and Type 4 streams will requite 100 foot buffers with an additional 5 foot
building and impervious surface setback where there are no associated wetlands. Where
there is associated wetland the wetland buffer will be used because it offers the greatest
protection for the stream. The stream buffer will extend onto the parcel from the south and
southeast comer of the parcel. Althoughthe usable space on the entire 21.5 acres is
extremely limited by the wetland and stream buffers, both the single family home footprint
and septic can will be accommodated without infringing on the critical areas buffers. The
existing butTers consist of pastureland grazed by about 10 head of Buffalo. Because single
family development is proposed in close proximity to a wetland and buffer, a wetland
boundary delineation is required to comply with Jefferson County Critical Areas
Ordinances. This letter has been prepared to document the conditions within the delineated
wetland, the wetland category, and the required buffers. It includes a description of the
wetland and upland data collected in the field, on-site soils as mapped by the Jefferson
.
County soil survey and wetlands mapping (NWI), and regulatory issues associated with the
wetland areas.
The on-site soils are mapped as Se Semiahmoo muck over nearly the entire parcel, with a
narrow mixed strip of CdB Casey fine sandy loam, 0 to 8 % slopes, InC Indianola loamy
sand, 0 to 15% slopes, AID Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 15 to 30 % slopes and cm
Cassolary sandy loam, 15 to 30% slopes soils according to the Soil Conservation Service

Washington, September 1975. Semiahmoo muck soils are classified as hydric soils. None of
the other soils on site are listed as hydric. See enclosed map for site locatedon the soil
survey and enclosed soil descriptions for additional information on the mapped soils.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), Center
Wash. Quadrangle, indicates the parcel sits on part of a large Palustrine Emergent system that
is Temporarily flooded and has been ditched, which is abbreviated PEMAd. See enclosed
map for site located on the NWI
Wetland A is delineated with 21 wetland boundary flags labeled WB-A (1- 21). The
delineation begins on the south property line near the southeast property corner and heads
slightly northwesterly until reaching the northern property line. Eight test holes were
conducted on the parcel to determine the wetland boundary and to record the wetland and
upland conditions. Two test holes (1 and 4) are located in the wetland and six test holes (2,
3 and 5-8) are located in the uplands. At each test hole, a 16- inch soil pit was dug to
document the presence or absence of hydric (wetland) soil conditions and the presence or
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. See attached drawing for approximate location of the test holes.
See data forms 1-8.
Test Holes 1 and 4 are located in the wetland. Test Hole 1 is located near wetland boundary
flag A-I and Test Hole 4 is located near wetland boundary flag A-IS. The emergent
vegetation is dominated by velvet grass (Holcus lanatus) FAC; soft rush (Juncus effuses)
FACW; white clover (Trifolium repens) FAC- and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea)
FACW with lower percentages of creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) FACW. The soil
hole at Test Hole 1 revealed a single layer of sandy loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/1.

revealed a single layer of peat with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 2/1. Wetland hydrology was
present in both areas as soil saturation to the surface. Water from the wetland flows into East
Fork Chimacum Creek approximately 300 feet to the west, but since the soils are composed
of peat this process is slowed and some water will escape through evaporation over the dry
season. Test Holes I and 4 are considered to be wetland because there are positive indicators
present for all three of the wetland parameters.
Test Holes 2,3 and 5 are locatedin the uplands. Test HoleZ is located out of the wetland just
east of Test Hole 1. Test Hole 3 is located east of Wetland Boundary flag A-6 and Test Hole
5 is located east of Wetland Boundary flag A-15. The grazed upland areas are heavily
dominated by white clover (T. repens) FAC- with lower percentages of reed canarygrass (P.
arundinacea) FACW, Canadian thistle (Cirsium arvense)FAC- and traces of soft rush (J.
effuses) FACW; creeping buttercup (R. repens) FACW and Kentucky blue grass (Poa
pratensis) F AC. The soil hole at Test Hole 2 revealed a three layer profile with a 6 inch
surface horizon (0-6") of sandy loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 2/2 with no mottles, a
middle layer (6-14") of gravelly sandy loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/3 and a third
layer (14-16") of sandy loam that has a matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/1. The soil hole at Test
Hole 3 revealed a single layer profile of sandy loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/3. The
soil hole at Test Hole 5 revealed a single layer profile of sandy loam with a matrix chroma of
10 YR 2/1.
At Test Holes 2 and 3 there was no hydrology at the time ofthe site visit or evidence of
wetland hydrology. At Test Hole 5 hydrology was present as soil saturation with water in the
soil hole at 10 inches. Test Holes 2 and 3 are considered to be non wetland because while
there are positive indicators present for hydrophytic vegetation there are no indicators for
hydric soil or wetland hydrology. Test Hole 5 is considered to be non wetland because while
there were positive indicators for wetland hydrology and hydric soil it did not have a
dominance of hydrophytic vegetation. The area is in a high spot in the topography that is
elevated above the typical wetland areas on this site.

Test Hole 6 is located in an upland area near the northeast comer of the property. The
vegetation community is dominated by velvet grass (H. lanatus) F AC; white ciover(T.
repens) FAC- and Canadian thistle (c. arvense) FAC-with a lower percentage of common
burdock (Ardium minus) NI. The soil hole revealed a single layer profile of sandy loam with
a matrix chroma of 1 0 YR 3/3. There was no hydrology at the time of the field visit or
evidence of wetland hydrology. This test hole is considered to be upland because there are no
positive indicators for any of the wetland parameters.
Test Holes 7 and 8 are located in the northeast comer of the parcel behind the bam in ahighly
compacted soil area that appears to collect roof runoff from the bam creating a puddle. The
herbaceous layer is dominated by unidentified heavily grazed grasses with lower
percentages of Canadian thistle (c. arvense) PAC- and Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum
vulgare) FACU. The shrub layer consists of Himalayan blackberry (Rubusarmeniacus)
PACU and Scot's broom (Cytisusscoparius) PACU. The soil hole at Test Hole 7 revealed
a single layer profile of gravelly sandy loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/3. The soil
hole at Test Hole 8 revealed a double layer profIle with a 5 inch surface horizon (0-5") of
silt loam having a matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/2 and a subsurface horizon (5-16") of sand
with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 4/2 with mottles that have a chroma of 10 YR 4/6. There
was no hydrology or evidence of wetland hydrology at Test Hole 7, although there was 2 to
3 inches of standing water at Test Hole 8. This puddle has been created by the compacted
soils behind the barn that collects roof runoff during heavy rains and is not considered
wetland hydrology. Test Hole 7 is considered upland because there are no positive
indicators for any of the three wetland parameters. Test Hole 8 is considered non-wetland
because while there are positive indicators for hydric soil' there' ate' no positive indicators
for wetland hydrology or hydrophytic vegetation.

The wetland is determined to be a Category I system according to the Department of
Ecology's Wetland Rating System for Western Washington, Second Edition. It meets the
criteria for a Category I wetland because it is directly connected to numerous streams that
flow into summer chum habitat., Hood Canal Summer Chum (Oncorhynchus ketal is listed
by the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife as a threatened species. See
attached criteria,for Category I wetlands in the rating form. 'Category I wetlands require 150
foot buffers according to the Jefferson County Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO), with a 5 foot
building/impervious ' surface setback required from the buffer edge. The offsite Type 3 stream
will require 100 foot buffers that will extend onto the property from the south and southeast.
The 150 foot required wetland buffers will be used in areas where the wetland buffers overlap
the 100 foot buffers of the Type 4 stream in the southeast property comer, as required by
Jefferson County. In areas where the buffers do not overlap the respective buffer will be
applied.
Two priority species, Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and winter Steelhead (0. mykiss)
are known to use the onsite portion of east, fork Chimacum Creek, according the
Department of Fish and Wildlife. These species are listed on the Washington State
Priority 1 vertebrate species. (Washington Natural Heritage Program, 1993/95
update). No other Washington State priority 1, 2 or 3 species are known to inhabit
the site, nor were any identified during our field survey. The presence of priority
species was determined using the printed edition and a data base search was not
completed' at this time.
The proposed activities include construction of a three bedroom single family home and
septic system on the eastern edge of the parcel, outside of the required stream and wetland
buffers. The existing barn on the parcel will be retained and the existing gravel driveway will
be used to access the home and barn. There should be no adverse impacts to any wetlands or
streams from the propos~d actively because the building and drainfield sites are

outside the required buffers and building setbacks. It is recommended. that siltation fencing
be placed along the edges of the wetland buffers to avoid increased sedimentation to the
wetland caused by runoff from the constrUction processes. Since the buffers are currently
grazed and devoid of protective vegetation, native trees and plants can be used to improve the
buffer between the home andthe wetland. Jefferson County must be notified before any
native planting or removal of vegetation takes place in a regulated wetland buffer to ensure
that such activities will not cause adverse affects to the wetland and that the plants being
proposed are native and appropriate.
In summary, this delineation was completed on a 21.5 acre parcel located on State Route 19
in Chimacum, Jefferson County, Washington. Currently an existing gravel driveway leads
from State Route 19 to an existing bam located in the northeast comer of the property. One
wetland was identified and delineated on this parcel. It is part of a large Category I palustrine
depressional emergent/scrub shrub/forested wetland system that covers a large portion of the
east Chimacumvalley. The east fork of Chima cum Creek flows north through the center of.
the property and a small Type 4 tributary that was historically ditched along the southeastern
and the southern property lines flows into the east fork of Chimacum Creek, through a culvert
under SR 19. Jefferson County requires 150 foot buffers from Category I wetlands and Type
4 streams require 100 foot buffers. The Type 3 stream that flows through the center of the
property requires a 100 foot buffer, however the wetland encompasses the entire stream
buffer on both sides of the stream.
All wetland and stream buffers have additional 5 foot building setbacks to be measured from
the edge of the critical area buffers. The entire on site wetland is currently grazed by buffalo
and the vegetation is dominated by an emergent layer of velvet grass; soft rush; white Glover
and reed canarygrass.
A single family home and septic system is proposed outside of the wetland and stream
buffers. The proposed activity should not have any adverse affects on the wetland as they are
outside of the required wetland buffers. The existing buffers will continue to provide

protection to the wetland, and stream but (l-re currently grazed and consist of grasses. If the
future homeowner would like to plant native trees or other plants in the buffer, they must first
be approved by Jefferson County. The Jefferson County Conservation District has worked
with .other landowners in the area to help design, locate and install native plants for
improvements to fish habitat. The local branch of the Conservation District can be contacted

development, taken from the Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of Jefferson
County Area, Washington, August, 1975.
Sh Semiahmoo muck. moderately shallow variant. This soil has a surface layer
of black muck 10 to 15 inches thick and in most places two to four layer of muck
and mucky peat are above the mineral soil materiaL A layer of diatomaceous
earth, 2 to 5 inches thick, ,is generally 10'to 18 inches below the surface. In
many places the mucky peat layer near the bottom is 25 to 40 percent silt and
clay. The depth to the underlying mineral soil material, which includes loamy
sand, sandy loam, sandy clay loam, sandy clay, and clay ranges from 24 to 48
inches. This soil is used mainly for growing grasses and legumes for livestock
and for garden truck and field crops.
InC Indianola loamy sand. 0-15% slopes. This nearly level to strongly rolling
soil is on glacial outwash plains. In most places slopes range ftom 4-10 percent.
Included in this soil mapping are small area s of Alderwood, Kitsap, and
Qui1cene soils. This soil is somewhat excessively drained. Permeability is
rapid. This soil holds about 3-5 inches of water available" for plants. Runoff is
slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight to moderate. This soil is used
mainly for producing trees and for wildlife habitat and recreation areas. About
20 percent of the acreage has been cleared and is used for growing permanent
pasture, hay and home garden crops.
CdB Casey fine sandy loam, 0-8 % slopes. The upper part of this soil is fine
sandy loam. Included with this soil in mapping, and making up and 20 percent
of the mapped areas, are soils and have layers of stratified sandy loam and loamy
sand and that are gravelly in various parts of the profile. Most area of this soil
are used for pasture, hay, and silage crops.

Criteria for Wetland Categories
Category I Wetlands
Note: A wetland is considered Category I if it meets anyone of the following five criteria.
Criterion 1
Wetlands that have documented occurrences recognized by federal or state agencies of TIlreatened or
Endangered species of plant, wildlife, or fish species.
Criterion 1a: Plant Species
The wetland contains individuals of Federal or State-listed Threatened or Endangered plant species.
Source of Infonnation
Contact the Washington Natural Heritage Program by mail to determine if any plant species of concern
have been located in or near the study area. A sample letter is included in Appendix 1. Send a map of the

The Washipgton Natural Heritage Program maintains a comprehensive database of site-specific informa-
, tion on reported occurrences of Sensitive, TIlreatened. Endangered and known historic occurrences of
Possibly Extinct or Extirpated plant species in Washington. At the time of writing most wetlands in
Washington have not been surveyed for the occurrence of State Sensitive, lbreatened, Endangered plant
species.
Note: Unidentified plant species collected during site visits should he idcntilied only by qualilictl
botanists familiar with the Pacific Northwest nora. If the study site is an historic collection site
for a Possibly Extinct or Extirpated plant species or is within 1/2 mile of such a sile. then a rare
plant survey by a qualifit..'{) botanist familiar with the Pacific Northwest 110ra should he con-
ducted to determine the presence of the species of concern.

Source
Wetlands Rating Field Data Form.
Justification
Bogs and fens are distinct wetland types which are very sensitive to disturbance. Bogs and fens form
when organic material accumulates faster than it decomposes. Bog/fen systems, however,form ex-
tremely slowly, with organic soils forming at rates apprmtimating one inch per 40 years in western
Washington.
Bogs are hydrologically closed systems without flowing water. They are extremely acidic and low in
nutrients and the plants which grow in them are specifically adapted to such conditions. Fens normally
support a greater diversity of plant species and have greater amounts of available nutrients.and a higher
pH than bogs. A variety of specialized plants live in bogs and fens. Thus. minor changes in the hydrol-
ogy or nutrient levels in these systems can have major adverse impacts on the plant communities. Peat
systems also provide significant habitat for a variety of wildlife species and perform important hydrologic
functions including groundwater and stream recharge.
The majority of the bogs/fens observed in we.~tern Washington have been degraded through hydrologic
modification and reduction in species diversity and integrity. All remaining relatively undisturbed ones
need a high level of protection. In addition, there is no known technology for replicating or creating a
bog/fen.
Criterion 4b: Mature Forested Wetlands
Forested wetlands qualify as mature forested wetlands when atleasl50% of the t(lfe.~'canopy contains
evergreen trees that are more than 80 year old, or deciduous trees that are older than 50 years;
OR
50% of the forest canopy consist of trees taller than 50', and the structural diversity is high as character-
ized by a multi-layer community of trees> 50' tall and trees 20' -49' tall and shrubs and herbaceous
groundcover;
AND
< 25 % of the cover in the herbaceous/ground cover or shrub class are invasive exotic plant species listed
in Table 3.
JEFFERSON COUNTY
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Forested wetlands have exceptionally high functional.values for wildlife habitat due to the multiple layers
of vegetation which provide a variety of food, breeding and nesting sites, and thermal and hiding cover.
Some forested wetlands are associated with standing' water during all or part of the year which makes
them extremely valuable, especially when the surrounding area is ar:idor semi-arid. Birds, mammals, and
amphibians often reach their greatest densities 'and diversity within forested wetlands.
1be tree canopy moderates the temperature within the wetland so that it is cooler in summer and warmer
in winter than surrounding open areas and this reduces energy needs for wildlife. Trees may shade open
water providing cover for fish, and downed trees provide large organic debris essential for fish habitat,
structure in streams. Leaves and insects which arc important in the aquatic f(xxl-chain drop into the water
trOD} overhanging trees.
Riparian forested wetlands are those forested wetlands along streams and rivers. Riparian forests may
contain both wetland and non-wetland forest components. Non-wetland riparian forests are extremely
important as a transition between wetland and upland. Aood waters are slowed and diminished as they
spread out in riparian forested wetlands and the trees and other vegetation trap sediments from the flood'
waters. Sediments, shorelines and streamsides are stabilized by the extensive root systems and protected
from erosion by vegetative cover.
Criterion 4c: Estuarine Wetlands
1. Wetlands listed as National Wildlife Refuge, National Park, National Estuary Reserve, Natural Area
Preserve, State Park, or Educational, Environmental or Scientific Reserves designated under WAC 332-
30-151.
2. Estuarinewetlands > 5 acres;
3. Estuarine wetlands 1-5 acres that meet any 3 of the following 4 criteria:
- at least two estuarine wetland habitat classes (Dethier, 1990);
- minimum existing evidence of human related physical alteration such as diking, ditching, tilling,
cultivation, gra7Jng or the presence of non-native plant species;
- surface water connection with tidal saltwater or tidal freshwater;
- at least 75% of the wetland has a 100' buffer of un grazed pasture, open water. shrub or forest.

Estuaries are among the most highly productive and complex ecosystems where tremendous quantities of
sediments. nutrients and organic matter are exchangl.'d hctwcen terrestrial, freshwater and marine commu-

and birds arc thc most visible along with cmergent plants. However. there is also a high variety of other
life-forms. for example; diatoms. algae and invertehrates.
Estuarine systems have substantial economic value as well as environmental value. All Washington State
estuaries have heen modit1ed to some degree. bearing the brunt ()f development pressures through filling,

drainage, port development and disposal of urban and industrial wastes. The over -harvest of certain
selected economic species has also modified the natural functioning of estuarine systems. ManyPuget
Sound estuaries such as the Duwamish, Puyallup. Snohomish and Skagit have been extensively modified.
Up to 99% of some estuarine wetland areas have been lost.

, ,
adhere to the requirements set forth
below.
(2) Delineation. An applicant submitting a
project application. shaH also submit,
and have approved, a wetland
delineation report as specified in
Section 3.6.10(j). Additionally, the
foUowing provisions shaH apply:
i. The location of the wetland and
its boundary shaH be. determined
through the performance of a
field investigation utilizing the
methodology contained in the
Washington State Wetlands
Identification and Delineation
Manual, March 1997, or as
amended hereafter.
If the wetland is located off of the
property involved in the project
application and is inaccessible,.
the best available infonnation
shall be used to determine the
wetland boundary and class.
iii. After approval of the delineation
report, the. wetland boundary
shan be staked and flagged in
the field.
iv. This requirement may be waived
under the following circum-
stances:
A. Single-Family Residences.
The requirement for a
wetland delineation and
special report may be
waived for construction of a
single-family residence on
an existing lot of record if
field investigation by County
staff indicates the following:
1. Sufficient infonnation
exists for staff to
estimate the boun-
daries of a wetland
without a delineation;
and
The single-family resi-
dence and all acces-
sory structures and
uses are not proposed

Notes:
1.
These buffers are one part of the complete
requirements necessary to qualify for a waiver. See
Section 3.6.9.d.2 above.
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 section. 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 be
perfonned.
The same opporltlnities for exemption from delineation
shall apply to uncategorized wetlands. The Department
of Community Development shall be responsible for
determinil'lg the wetland category.
The following shall not be located withil'l the distances
identified in the table: 1) single-family residences and
all accessory structures and uses; 2) subdivision
buHding 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
Section. 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:
i. A permanent physical separation
along the upland boundary of the
wetland buffer area shall be
installed and permanenUy main-
tained. Such separation may
consist of logs, a tree or hedge
row, or other prominent physical
marking approved by the
Administrator.
ii. Buffer perimeters shall be
marked with temporary signs at
an interval of one per parcel or
every one hundred (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."
iii. 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.
iv. The applicant may also choose
to dedicate the buffer through a
conservation easement Dr 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:
i. Buffer areas shall be required to
provide sufficient separation
between the designated wetland
~
~!i
\3~ \
Table 3-4,
and the adjacent proposed
project.
ii. The appropriate width of the
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
Sections 3.6.9(d)(6), 3.6.9(d)(7),
or 3.6.9(d)(8), below.
iii. Buffers shall remain naturally
vegetated except where the
vegetation has been disturbed,
invaded by highly undesirable
species (e.g., noxious weeds), or
would substantiaUy 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.
iv. All buffers shall . be measured
perpendicularly from the wetland
boundary as surveyed in the
field
v. Standard wetland buffer widths
shall be as established in Table
3-4.

(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:
i. Standard wetland buffer width
averaging as. set forth in this
section is unfeasible.
ii. The project application includes
a buffer enhancement plan using

'" .,
native vegetation which sub-
stantiates that an enhanced
buffer wiD 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 .wettand 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 any. one of
the following through appropriate
documentation:
i. A larger buffer is necessary to
maintain vi8b1e populations of
existing species.
ii. 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 potentiat
habitat for those species, or has
unusual nesting or resting sites
(e.g., heron rookeries and raptor
nesting trees).
iiL The adjacent land is susceptible
to severe landslide Or erosion,
and erosion control measures
will not effectively prevent
adverse wetland impacts.
iv. The adjacent land has minimal
vegetative cover or slopes
greater than forty-five (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 shan be allowed only when
an individual or firm meeting the
criteria of Subsection 3.6.10(j)(2)
demonstrates all of the following to the
satisfaction of the Administrator:
i. ' Width averaging will not

conducted solely to increase the functions.
and values of an existing weUand and which
are not required to be conducted pursuant to
the mitigation requirements of Section
3.6.9.1, below. There are two types of non-
compensatory enhancement:
(1) Type 1 Non-Compensatory
Enhancement. Type 1 non-
compensatory enhancement projects
involve the filling, draining, or
excavating of a regulated wetland. All
applications for Type 1 non-
compensatory enhancement projects
shan be accompanied by an
enhancement plan prepared in
accordance with subsections (1 )i-.ii,
below, which demonstrates that the
proposed activities WIll result in an
increase in' wetland functions and
values.
i. The enhancement plan must be
submitted for review and
approval. by the Administrator:
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.
(2) Type 2 Non-Compensatory
Enhancement. Type 2 non-
compensatory 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 non-
compensatory enhancement projects
shall be accompanied by an
enhancement plan prepared in
accordance with subsections (2)i-.iii,
below, which demonstrates that the
proposed activities will result in an
increase in wetland functions and
values.

Hi Linda,
Donna and I went out on site this morning, met with Denver and Roger Short. Upon site verification, Donna suggested it is more
appropriate to name this a category II wetland. She will write a memo to document the change. While we were on site, Denver
asked us about the possibility of relocating the proposed septic area further south. Given there is a Type 4 stream along Beaver
Valley Rd, what is the minimum setback from the septic area to this stream?
Can we meet briefly sometime this week on this project?
Thanks.
