Introduction and History of Site
At the request of Harriette Buckffiann. a wetland delineation was conducted on June 5, 2006 on
Lot 6 and 7. 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 1.08-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 project-the 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, S~~~1E:XVJED'

Drive, Jefferson County, Washington.

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 of the 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 AS). 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 corner 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 feaR!ECEI'~
alternatives for a building site (Reducing Buffer Widths 3.6.9 (6). A mitigation and " lCtD
enhancement/revegetation plan included with this report addresses site specific solutions to

buffer and wetland impacts. The soils, vegetation, and hydrology have been examined near the
wetland associated with the potential building site (Lots 6 and 7).
."..z.l '
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.

Hydrology
Water only needs to be present 20 days of the growing season for an area to qualify as a wetland.
This wetland near the building site is at the base of a slope and receives regular stormwater.
Another potentially source of hydrology could be year-round springs. Hydrology was present
throughout the wetland and several plant species identified require year-round saturation.

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. A void 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. Avoid 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.

Summary
A highly impacted Category III wetland has been delineated for Harriette Buckmann within the
Bridgehaven Development. A potential building site was located at the corner 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 final 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. If there are further questions or planning requirements
for this project please do not hesitate to call.

Applied Methodology . .--.J
Jefferson County y DE~nOPMENT
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 (UDC).
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 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 16 inches. Soil colors were analyzed using the
Munsell Color Charts (1992).
Vegetation
Wet1and 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 WildlifesService (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 inWldated or have soils saturated to the
surface at some time during the growing season." Areas must have seasotially 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 ~EIVE.D

&I>~.._~"~\. .~
to November 2S. The growing season can also be defined by soil temperature at 19.7
inches below the soil surface being higher than biological 0 (SOC 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 (publication #91-S7 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 IV, degraded or isolated wetlands. Buffers assigned are
based on the degree of protection the wetlands require.
. Determining Wetland Edges
Wetland 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.

Fall Installation
Planting should be installed between mid-September and mid-November, unless the new
plantings can be watered throughout the summer. 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.

. 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; root balls covered in this way may lR.lf~ C EliV1E J[)
receive water only from below. To allow direct wetting of the root ball from .~ .. '
above, install the plant so that the top of the nursery soil is slightly higher than the

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.

,
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-seeding
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. Re-seeding Recommendations and Quantities
Scientific Name Common Name Percent
estuca rubra var. commutata ed fescue 400,10
echampsia cespitosa ufted hairgrass .300,10
lium multiflorum ual ryegrass 200,10
Trifolium hybridum ike clover 100,10
Planting recommendations: 25 lb. per acre
Maintenance: Weeding and Irrigation
The use of appropriate native species and careful planting ensures that the need for
ongoing maintenance will be minimized. 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.
