The Wetland Delineation identifies the wetland as Wetland A, and indicates a 40-foot buffer. All development must maintain the regulated wetland buffers and they must be maintained in natural, unaltered condition. The wetland report is valid until May 25, 2027 per Jefferson County Code (JCC) 18.22.905. If development is proposed after this date, an updated or amended report will be required. Required Reports: None Stormwater permitting: Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) 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 manual produced by Washington State Department of Ecology. • A Stormwater Management Permit is required for grading of 500 cubic yards or more, land-disturbing activities of 7,000 square feet or more, or creation of 2,000 square feet or more of impervious surface. This approval may be obtained through a building permit or, if you wish to clear the property prior to building, you must obtain a separate stormwater management permit. This is required prior to clearing and grading for related development, such as septic system installation or road/driveway construction. • Stormwater Management Permits or Vegetation Removal Permits are required for any tree removal within a critical area or its buffer regardless of square footage cleared. • Impervious surface includes gravel surfaces. • Building permits must address stormwater. o A small project is any impervious surface under 2,000 square feet. You must meet minimum requirement #2 from the manual. o A medium project is any impervious surface from 2,000 to 4,999 square feet or 7,000 or more square feet of clearing. You must meet minimum requirements #1-#5, including on-site stormwater management. The building permit application should include a designed stormwater management system to address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces. o A large project is any impervious surface from 5,000 square feet or greater. You must meet all minimum requirements. The building permit application should include a designed stormwater management system to address runoff from the roof and other hard surfaces. If your project meets the large project threshold, your parcel is five acres or larger, and you are not within an Urban Growth Area, an engineered stormwater plan is required to ensure low-impact design standards are met. 3 • If you plan on clearing the property and would be required by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to submit a Forest Practices Application (FPA), you must work with our department first to obtain a Stormwater Management Permit with State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, in association with a Class IV-General FPA, in order to avoid a 6-year Development Moratorium per the state Forest Practices Act. Jefferson County recommends you contact DNR for FPA requirements. Next Steps: Apply for building permits.
