SEP 1 2 2007 Parcel # 802393 012 June 2004 oeD Introduction At the request of Carl Potts a wetland delineation was conducted on June 2, 2004. The subject parcel is located east of Highway 101 approximately 3 miles north of Quilcene. The goal of the wetland delineation was to determine wetland locations and associated buffers that would restrict a building site and septic location, A Level I wetland assessment was conducted on March 9, 2004 that described the wetland and approximate wetland edges. Findings from the Level I assessment indicate a very high quality wetland that lies down gradient and approximately 230 feet from the proposed building location. This large wetland extends to the north and contains a high diversity of plant communities. Description of Site . Legal Description: Parcel #802 363 012, S36T28R2W . Location: 291013 Highway 101, north of Quilcene . Soils: So Snohomish silty clay loam, Que and QuD Quilcene silt loam . Slopes: 0 to 30% slopes The 4-acre site lies within the Lake Leland valley and consists of an open pasture bordered by large spruce, cedar, and maple trees. The wetland is defined by a drop in topography and is adjacent to Highway 101. A map ofthe site location and mapped soils is included in the Appendix (Sheet # 1). Methodology used conducting this delineation is included in the Appendix. The following resources were consulted for this project: . Jefferson County Critical Areas Map Wetlands (1995) . Aerial Photographs (Soil maps pre-1975 and 2000, included in Appendix) . Jefferson County Unified Development Code (January 1,2001) . Soil Survey of Jefferson County (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1975) . Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual . National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) Potts Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2004-7396 1 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 6/04 RECEIVED SEP 1 2 2007 . Findings The Jefferson County Critical Areas Map indicates that the majority ofthe parceli~I'"AAft~;1 rn!UlrrJ nrl1n "~.,..! -f-(~";,,,-_t)'~\t 'J",)~J~~i; i iJ ,LI wetland boundaries. Findings reveal the wetland is actually confined to the low-Iymg western and northern portions of the site and is defined by a distinct plant community. Data collected from the soil test pits, perk holes, and vegetation analysis did not indicate hydric conditions near the proposed home site. In accordance with the DOE rating system, the large high quality wetland qualifies as Class I due to the age of the deciduous and evergreen trees within the forest canopy (Q.2b. Mature forested wetland). This Class I wetland will have associated 150-foot buffers. All buffers are measured perpendicular from the delineated edge (Jefferson County Unified Development Code, Jan, 1, 2001,3-30 Buffers Table 3-4). The wetland's edges were flagged with orange plastic ribbon labeled "Wetland Boundary," at points 20 to 40 feet apart, Flagging is labeled with alphanumeric codes (AI through A7), The data point locations, wetland edges, and buffers are indicated on the Findings Map in the Appendix (Sheet #2). . Soils Jefferson County Soil Survey (page 56) lists soils within the valley as: So Snohomish silty clay loam. Snohomish silty clay loam is listed as a hydric or wetland soil on the Jefferson County Area Hydric Soil list (January 1991). Upslope the soils are classified as Que and QuD Quilcene silt loam. Soils within the perk holes near the potential building location (excavated to 6 feet deep) indicated mottling throughout the soil profile, yet the colors of the main soil matrix did not indicate the regular presence of a rising water table (1 OY /R 3/3). Data points and soil test pits confirmed the presence of hydric soils in the lower portions of the site. The soils were low-chroma the entire depth of the soil test, indicating frequent saturation and a high water table. At Data Point #1, outside the wetland, the soil did not qualify as hydric (10YR 3/4 with mottles and concretions). Data Point #2, within the wetland, has hydric soils, hydrology, and wetland vegetation (10YR 4/2 with mottles 4/6), Data Point #3, within the pasture, also was found to contain positive indicators of wetland conditions. Soil colors were dark brown to black and mottling was abundant (10 Y /R 3/1 and 5/1 with abundant mottles 1 OY /R 5/6). . Vegetation Both the wetland and the upland areas have a high diversity of native plant species. The wetland has a mosaic of plant communities, structural layers, and habitat features. Open water, aquatic vegetation, a healthy shrub and emergent layer, standing snags, and woody debris contribute to this high quality wetland. Also present along the perimeter of the wetland are large trees, both evergreen and deciduous. The site is plagued by reed canarygrass, which is present within the pasture and wetland area. The open pasture is mowed regularly, which helps control this species, Potts Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2004-7396 2 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 6/04 .

This delineation was conducted in early June, well within the growing season. Daytime temperatures were in the 60's during this fieldwork, Hydrology was present throughout the wetland. Surface saturation, open water, and water in the soil test pits within 10 inches of the surface was observed during this delineation. . Potts Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2004-7396 3 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. 6/04 . . . Summary A high quality Class I wetland was delineated on June 2, 2004 for Carl Potts. This wetland will have associated 150- foot buffers. Buffers on the site consist of a mowed pasture with large trees, both evergreen and deciduous. The only problem species on the site is reed canarygrass, which is known to create large monotypic stands which out-compete native species. It is recommended to continuing mowing the site to control this grass. The proposed home site and associated septic design falls outside the delineated buffer, The final authority over this wetland determination rests with the governmental agencies. If there are further questions or planning requirements for this project please do not hesitate to call. Dixie Llewellin Principal Biologist, Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc.

Applied Methodology ii)' COUNlY DCO Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual Fieldwork to determine the actual wetland boundaries was conducted according to the methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual (Department of Ecology #96-94). Chapter 173-22 of the Washington Administrative Code requires that all wetlands within the State of Washington be delineated using this manual. The methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual requires examination of the three parameters for a positive wetland determination: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. For an area to qualifY as a jurisdictional wetland it must have a positive indicator from all three parameters. All wetlands identified using this methodology may be federally regulated, regardless of size. . Soils A hydric soil is a soil that forms under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding lasting long enough during the growing season to result in an anaerobic upper layer. Hydric soils favor the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation, The indicators for this type of soil include low chroma, mottles, gleying, and high organic content within the upper 32 inches of the soil profile. Holes were dug on the site and soil colors (including value and chroma) were recorded in the top 16 inches. Soil colors were analyzed using the Munsell Color Charts (1992). Vegetation Wetland plant species must constitute greater than 51 % of the total vegetation present to meet the qualification as a site dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. Dominance of plant species is determined by calculating actual aerial cover within a 30-foot radius for trees, a 10-foot radius for shrubs, and a 6-foot radius for the herbaceous layer at each data point. Commonly occurring plant species have been rated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) as to their frequency of occurrence in wetlands and non-wetlands, During the fieldwork, each species was recorded and given a rating based on indicator status and percent cover. . Hydrology Wetland hydrology is defined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual as "areas that are periodically inundated or have soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season." Areas must have seasonally inundated or saturated soil at least 12.5% of the growing season (20 days out of258 days). The growing season is described in Jefferson County by the Jefferson County soil survey as March 12 to November 25. The growing season can also be defined by soil temperature at 19.7 inches below the soil surface being higher than biological 0 (50C or 400F). . Indicators of hydrology include visual observation of inundation or soil saturation, water- stained leaves, cracking of the soil surface, and/or sediment deposits. Positive signs of hydrology are often absent during the summer and fall months but can be inferred if there are positive indicators of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation. Classification Wetland categorization was determined using the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) Wetland Rating System (second edition, publication #93-74, August 1993), which assigns a numerical value to any given wetland according to wetland size, quality of surrounding buffers, vegetation diversity, wetland types, and habitat value. Wetlands are rated as entire systems and quite often exceed project boundaries. Ratings range from Class I to Class IV. Class I is the highest quality wetland and is not replaceable and therefore receives the largest buffers and highest protection. Determining Wetland Edges Wetland edges were determined by establishing pairs of data points: one within the wetland which contains positive indicators of all three of the wetland requirements: soils, hydrology, and vegetation, and another data point outside the wetland, where one or all of the requirements were not present. The wetland edge is flagged between the pairs of points at intervals of 20 to 40 feet. . SEP 1 2 2007 EOU,VJY Den . . . .
