A wetland assessment was conducted in August of 2005 to determine wetland conditions and feasibility of a building envelope on these two parcels. These parcels are part of a larger I.08-acre site that includes a total of 7 parcels. The open field near intersection of South Point Road and South Beach Drive is the most feasible location for a single-family residence. Single-family waterfront homes are located directly across South Beach Drive within the development known as Trail End Estates in Bridgehaven. All parcels are serviced by off-site water and septic systems. It was apparent during the Level I Assessment that future development would impact a large portion of the buffer associated with the wetland. The goal of this wetland report is to define the exact wetland edges, categorize the wetland, and evaluate existing buffers. Since a buffer reduction is necessary for development a mitigation and enhancement/revegetation plan has been included to address potential impacts. 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). All wetlands within Jefferson County are subject to requirements outlined in the Jefferson County Unified Development Code (UDC) dated January 1,2001. Land use restrictions will apply to all future developments associated with this parcel. In 1997 Lots 5 and the northern half of Lot 6 were filled to create additional upland areas. This was cited as a wetland violation: Through a mitigation projecHhe parcel was returned to original elevations and revegetated with native species. Monitoring for 5 years showed this revegetation project was succes~ful ~d met all performance standar~s (Monitoring Report, SmrelEX\VED' Wetland RevegetatIOn, Fmal Report June 2002, OlympIC Wetland Resources, Inc.):" . , " L Buckmann Wetland Delineation and Mitigation Plan Report File Number 2006-0605 1 c.1UL (j B ,nil) Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc.

Section 7 Township 29 Range IE Jefferson County, WA . Location: The subject parcel is located at the Comer of South Point Road and South Beach Drive, Jefferson County, Washington. . Soils:Co Coastal Beaches and fill, site flat A map of the site location and mapped soils is included in the Appendix (Sheet #1). The majority of the 1.08 acres falls within a mapped wetland as indicated by Jefferson County wetland maps. This wetland extends along the Hood Canal waterfront and has been highly altered. Wetland impacts include a parking lot across South Point Road, roadways, and residential development along Hood Canal. The area was once the location of the South Point Ferry terminal when the Hood Canal Bridge was not in service. The potential building parcels consists of a flat open field surrounded by ditches and roads. The remainder ofthe subject parcel is a low lying swamp of willows or a forested wetland hillside of spruce and cedar. The majority of the 1.08 acres consists of wetland tolerant vegetation. Methodology Complete 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) 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 A5). The data point locations, wetland edges, and buffers are indicated on the Findings Map in the Appendix (Sheet #2). Findings The proposed building envelope (southeastern comer of Lot 6 and 7) is outside the wetland however it falls within the buffers associated with this wetland. In accordance with the DOE rating system, the wetland is a Category III due to development impacts, lack of species diversity, and minimal habitat layers. It should be noted that this wetland has additional values in filtering upslope stormwater prior to entering Hood Canal. This Class III wetland would ordinarily receive 50-foot buffers measured perpendicular to the delineated edge. According to the Jefferson County UDC buffers can be reduced when there are no feaft!ECEIl'J"'JOt alternatives for a building site (Reducing Buffer Widths 3.6.9 (6).

The soils, vegetation, and hydrology have been examined near the wetland associated with the potential building site (Lots 6 and 7). Soils All soil test pits excavated consisted of rock, gravel, and sand, much of this has been imported pit run material (conversation with Wally Pederson co-owner). The soils are mapped as Coastal Beaches Co (Jefferson Soil Survey Page 62). This soil type is listed on the Jefferson County Hydric Soils List (January 1991). This wetland conditions is considered "atypical" since soils are imported and disturbed; the presence of hydric soils are difficult to interpret under these circumstances. All soils were wet during the wetland delineation. Existing vegetation and hydrology were the main determining factors defining the delineated edge. Vegetation In general the majority of plants identified were water tolerant or dependant. The cattail and water parsley were confined to the wide ditches, whereas the horsetail and rush were common in most portions in many places on the site. Small alders are sprouting throughout the site. Below is the list of vegetation identified on Lot 6 and 7 and the indicator status of each species.

Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures include combining Lots 4,5,6 (two parcels), 7 and Lots 13 and 14 to create one building site within the total area of 1.08 acres. The area outside the specified building envelope and mitigation area will remain in open space. This will retain the original function and values of the wetland. Presently parcels outside the potential building location consist of matrix of native wetland trees and shrubs. This mitigation includes an enhancement/revegetation plan to be implemented after the building project, and final grading is complete. The plan includes a list of native species that would be appropriate for this coastal wet site. Soils will need to be amended with imported soils and compost for the success of planted species. Species in the plan are mostly water tolerant and are chosen to withstand the shallow water table. A plant list with installation specification and recommendations is included in the Appendix. . Species recommended within the wetland herbaceous layer are Lyngby's sedge, wild rye, and seacoast bulrush. For the tree layer both shore pine and quaking aspen have had high success rates on shoreline restorations. Within the shrub layer hazelnut, twinberry, willow, and red-osier dogwood are included and are hardy when established in this type of wetland condition. Red- flowering currant will need to be planted upland and closer to the building site. A total of 300 grasses and sedges, 20 trees, and over 70 shrubs are included in this enhancement plan. Final locations of recommended plant species will need to be determined during the building site plan and should be included prior to an approval of a building permit. To minimize any impacts to the wetland Best Management Practices (BMP's) Conservation Practices, will be implanted at all times during and after construction. 1. Avoid or control soil loss and protect water quality from degradation caused by nutrients, animal waste, toxins, and sediment; and 2. Avoid or minimize adverse impacts to surface water and ground water flow, and circulation patterns; and 3. Avoid or control the movement of sediment and erosion control caused by land alteration activities; and 4. A void or minimize adverse impacts to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of critical areas. BMP's are those practices as defined by the Jefferson County, State of Washington Department of Agriculture, State of Washington Department of Ecology, State of Washington Department ofFish and Wildlife, conservation district, and other professional organizations.

A potential building site was located at the comer of South Point Road and South Beach Drive; however this falls within the buffer of the wetland. Since there are no feasible alternatives, buffers on this site will need to be reduced to accommodate a single- family residence within this planned residential development. Both water and sewer are provided off site. Mitigation measure to compensate for buffer reduction include: combining 7 lots (1.08 acres) to create one feasible building site with the remainder of area retained as open space. Additional mitigation measures include practicing BMP's, and using low impact development concepts and techniques, and replanting native trees, shrubs, and wetland tolerant herbaceous species after the final construction and grading are complete. A mitigation plan including fmal planting designs should be submitted prior to the approval of a building permit and construction should be monitored. If this mitigation plan is implemented as outlined wetland impacts should be minimal and over time overall functions and values of the wetland buffer will be increased. The final authority over this wetland determination and mitigation plan rests with the Jefferson County and other governmental agencies.

' ",:J ',"'TY Jefferson County c: cC'!.':\,;L(,;, Y DEVELOPMENT 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. All wetland within Jefferson County are regulated according to the Jefferson County Development Code, January 2001 (ODC). The methodology outlined in the Washington 'State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual requires examination of the three parameters for a positive wetland detennination: 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 ofhydrophytic 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 t6 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 to-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 inWl<lated or have soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season." Areas must have seasOIially inundated or saturated soil at least 12.5% of the growing season (20 days out of258 days). ~e~o~.1 season is described in Jefferson County by the Jefferson County soil survey ~ElVED JUl 0 8 2006 JfFHBSO. COOllY OW w ,"', "'I"'r, .. ",1\ " ' II "",.5"., r~ ~'.Ul-;..a. 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 detennined using the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) Wetland Rating System (publication #91-57 October 1991), 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 Category I, (pristine and rare critical areas, to Category N, degraded or isolated wetlands. Buffers assigned are based on the degree of protection the wetlands require. . Determining Wetland Edges Wet1and edges were determined by establishIDg 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 of20 to 40 feet. r [~ \PJr-' \ SEP 2 5 2006 :'';..; \ ,~ rv ,.. r-"', i n ~n t "\\ " Vi ,"" II 1 ' ~ ; R]E(~IEKVED ~JUl 0 6 2DOO JEffERSON COUNff m;n - t{~r. ~~.

Plantings installed in the fall generally outperform those installed in the late winter or spring. Plants put in the ground in the fall have the advantage of an extended period for root growth before rapid top growth in the spring. In the fall, the soil is warmer and more aerated than in the spring and most plants experience active root growth during this time. The cool, cloudy days and frequent precipitation of fall and winter also provide ideal transplanting conditions. Until sufficient root systems develop, newly installed plants will undergo transplanting stress that can be exacerbated by hot sunny days. Fall and winter weather allows for reduced transpiration and provides ample moisture for the roots while the plant recovers from transplant shock. Root Disturbance Immediately before installation plants with broken, damaged, or twisted roots must be pruned. Matted or circling roots of containerized plantings must be pruned or straightened and the sides of the root ball must be roughened from top to bottom to a depth of approximately half an inch in two to four places. If circling roots are left, they may eventually girdle the plant as they grow and thicken in place. If the roots at the edge of the root ball are straightened and extended, they will have access to a greater volume of soil in the planting hole. Also, the roughened edges of the root ball will have better contact with the backfill soil. Disturbing and removing one-fourth to one-half of the roots in the outer inch of the root ball will damage only the most sensitive plants; most often, this treatment actually stimulates increased plant growth. ,-- ,- ..._-~----~ > n W 12 ", 2 5 2006 . Plant Depth The finished height of each plant's root ball will be slightly higher than that of the surrounding soil. The exception is for sandy soils, in which case the soil heights will be even. The top of the root ball will not be covered with backfill soil. A watering basin will be formed around each planting by building a berm of soil at least 30 inches in diameter. :,:EVtLO: When planting a container-grown plant, the top of the root ball should not be covered with any other soil. Covering the root ball with soil, particularly if it has a finer texture than the potting or field-growing soil, will generally cause water to , " " flo~ around the root ball instead of into it; ~oot balls .covered in this way may R It~ (~EIV1E l[) receive water only from below. To allow direct wettmg of the root ball from .' above, install the plant so that the top of the nursery soil is slightly higher than the ~JUL 0 6 2006 1 JHHRSON tOlINTV Den t ... e e .~ . surrounding soil level. If the soil is sandy, or of a large particle size, then the nursery soil should be level with the surrounding soil. ~...' I, ;...~. ",: ~ ..,-5p-" . of ,~ " ,""1 /.. E'J I co ... 'M---L4--"" ~, A watering basin made of mounded soil around each planting will further help to catch water from above-the berm should be at least 30 inches in diameter surrounding a plant. Mulch placed within the basin and on the berm will limit moisture loss from the root ball and surrounding soil, but take care that it does not come into contact with the stem of the plant as rodents or pathogens living in the mulch may attack the bark. Re-$eeding After the completion of the construction and planting projects, a seed mix will be evenly spread on all bare areas. Please find a recommended seed mix below. Table 2.

However, some maintenance is required to ensure that the young plants become established. It is recommended that weeding around new plants be conducted once or twice a year during the months of May and September for the first five years, and as often as needed after that. All Scot's broom, Himalayan blackberry, and thistle should be monitored and eliminated from the site. Irrigation may be required for upland species (vine maple, red-flowering currant, and pine) for the first three years or until plants are, well established. Hand watering or irrigating with overhead sprinklers once a week should be adequate during the hot summer months. Wetland species that are planted near the creek corridor may require less watering.
