The goal of the wetland delineation was to define the wetland edges, analyze wetland categories, and determine associated buffers that would restrict a single family residence or access driveways. The Land Use Application includes clearing 6,000 square feet for a homesite and harvesting mature alder trees. Jefferson County Critical Area Maps do not indicate a wetland on this parcel, however there is a mapped Type 5 stream along the southern boundary of the parcel. DNR has evaluated this ravine and determined that the stream does not exist. The initial analysis of the property was on October 2,2007; the delineation was conducted on October 9,2007. Description of Site . Legal Description: Parcel #901 114024, Section 11 Township 29N Range 1 W . Location: 564 Totem Ridge Road, Port Hadlock, Jefferson County WA (extension of Redeemer Way off of Chimacum Road) . Soils: CmD Clallam gravelly sandy loam (not listed as a hydric soil, Jefferson County Hydric Soil List, 1/91) . Slopes: 0 to 15 percent The subject parcel, owned by Harvey Windle is approximately 2 miles south of the Oak Bay and Chimacum Road intersection. A map of the site location and mapped soils is included in the Appendix (Sheet # 1). This 10.5 acre parcel is roughly square with a cleared area at the northern end that now contains a modular home. The remainder of the land is forested with second growth timber. Physically the site is near the top of Totem Ridge and is within a development that has several nearby homes on 10 acre parcels. Windle Wetland Delineation and Analysis Report Report File: #2007-1002 1 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. October 2007 OCT 1 6 2007 A distinct landscape feature on this gently sloping parcel is a flat low lying swale that can be seen on both the hill shade maps and the topography maps (internet Jefferson County Parcel Maps). This corresponds with the locljltion of the wetland identified. i I I Methodology 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 March 1997). 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. A comprehensive description of methodology used to conduct this report is included in the Appendix. Background Information The following resources were consulted prior to field work for this project: . Jefferson County Critical Areas Map (1995) . National Wetland Inventory Map . Aerial Photographs (Soil maps pre-1975 and Jefferson County parcel maps 1994,2000 and 2006 internet, including hill shade and topography) . Jefferson County Unified Development Code (January 1,2001) . Soil Survey of Jefferson County (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1975) Internet . Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual . National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) Downslope and approximately ~ mile away are the extensive wetlands within the valley associated with Chimacwn Creek. Wetland Delineation Findings General Wetland Conditions The wetland lies within a distinct swale associated with a drop in topography of up to 3 feet. Soils in the low lying areas are clearly hydric and the majority of vegetation either requires year-round ground water or can withstand regular inundation and rising water tables. The wetland measures 205' by 72' (approximately 14,000 square feet) and is therefore regulated by Jefferson County. The habitat value of this wetland is high due to the associated undisturbed forest buffers and proximity to Chimacwn Valley. No populations of invasive species in or near the wetland were identified. Although this wetland is isolated it functions as a stormwater catchment basin. The exact outlet for water flow from this wetland was not clear but a 3 foot ditch adjacent to the access driveway contaiped wetland vegetation. There were two culverts to Windle Wetland Delineation and Analysis Report Report File: #2007-1002 2 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. October 2007 11 t...t: OCT 1 6 2007 DEPf direct water under the driveway and across Totem Ridge Road. Although the ditch was dry during this assessment the obviously dlirect water away from the site during high storm periods. , The wetland's edges were flagged with orange plastic ribbon labeled "Wetland Boundary," at points 20 to 30 feet apart labeled with alphanwneric codes (AI through AI2). The data point locations, wetland edges, buffers, and location of culverts are indicated on the Wetland Boundary Map in the Appendix (Sheet #2). Soils Soils are the historic evidence of a long term presence of wetlands and therefore the most reliable indicator in establishing the wetland edge. Vegetation can change dramatically over a 30 year period. Jefferson County Soil Survey lists the soils as: CmD, Clallam gravelly sandy loam. Although this soil is not listed on the hydric soils list, inclusions of hydric soils are common within the Clallam Series. Many wetlands within the City of Port Townsend within in this Series contain wetlands. This soil has a glacial till layer is near the surface and whenever there is either a natural or man-made drop in the topography water will collect and over time create wet areas. Several old logging roads contained wetland sedges upslope from the wetland. Within the wetland, (Data Points # 1, #3, and #5) soils were clearly hydric with a very dark brown chroma (MunselllOYR 2/1). This mineral soil was moist throughout all soil test pits with a high level of organic material. These soils were also very silty with little sand content. Within the upland (Data Point #2, #4, #6), soils were in distinctly contrast to the wetland pits. Soils were dusty, contained rocks and were not hydric in color (Munselll0YR 5/3 with mottles lOYR 6/6). Mottles were observed near the bottom of the soil test pits indicating an occasionally rising water table, but not at frequent enough intervals to support a wetland. Vegetation Not only was the wetland clearly defined by a distinct drop in topography and hydric soils but the vegetation clearly changed at the wetland/upland edge. Wetland vegetation was dominated by an emergent layer of water parsley and slough sedge. The shrub layer of salmonberry had an over story of cedar and alders. At all wetland Data Points, water parsley was present which is a species that requires year-round water. All trees and shrubs are known to tolerate a rising water table. The upland vegetation was represented by big-leaf maple, Douglas' firs with an understory of Indian plwn, huckleberry, salal, and sword fern.

Plants classified according to the Fish and Wildlife Service; 1988,1993 Update Hydrology Hydrology was present in one of the three wetland soil test pits at 9 inches below the surface. The other wetland pits had saturated soils or high soil moisture content. This delineation was conducted at the end of a typically dry summer season with 3 months with little to no rainfall. Hydrology can be assumed when both the soils and vegetation so clearly define wetland characteristics. Another factor that defines the presence of hydrology during the dry months is oxidized root channels which were present in the soil test pits.

UJ oJ As reported by Harvey Windle, the southern portion of the wetland contained ponded water through June this year. At this location cedar trees have distinctive raised and distorted roots confirming a previous high water tables. Origins of the water appear to be overland stormwater flow from upslope areas. The Clallam soils have an impervious clay layer that is near the surface causing water to flow laterally towards low areas within a landscape. Wetland Analysis Results Wetland Categorization The onsite wetland was categorized using the Washington State Wetland Rating Field Data Form (Department of Ecology #96-94). Based on the number of points (22) this wetland rates as a Category II wetland. The rationale behind this categorization is that even though the wetland is isolated it has very high habitat value and large forested buffers. There are multiple structural layers (trees taller than 50 feet and downed and standing dead trees) and the dense shrub layer within the wetland. Species diversity is moderate. Enclosed in the Appendix is the Department of Ecology Wetland Rating Form. Buffer Requirements In Jefferson County, the standard buffer width for a delineated Category II wetland is 100 feet. All buffers are measured perpendicular from the delineated edge (Jefferson County Unified Development Code, Jan. 1,2001,3-30 Buffers Table 3-4). The proposed building envelope is well outside this buffer. OCT 1 6 2007 Windle Wetland Delineation and Analysis Report Report File: #2007-1002 5 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. October 2007 Summary A Category II wetland was delineated on the subject parcel on October 9, 2007. The required 100-foot buffers from the wetland edge will not restrict a proposed building envelope as described by Harvey Windle. It may be possible that the access driveways will pass through the wetland buffer to access the building site. The 14,000 sq. ft. wetland lies in a swale associated with a distinct drop in topography, very black hydric soils, and wetland tolerant vegetation. The habitat value of the wetland is high due to the complex structural layers, $1disturbed buffers and associated forests. These small wetlands are important as catchments areas, especially when their location is at the top of ridges and basins since they have the potential to prevent downslope flooding. Limitations Wetland status depicted in this report has not been confirmed by a government official, final authority over this wetland determination rests with the governmental agencies. Jurisdictional authority over wetlands: rests with the local, state and federal agencies. All information in this report should be reviewed by the appropriate regulatory agencies prior to approval.

Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual Fieldwork to determine the actual wetland bOlll1daries was conducted according to the methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual (Department of Ecology March 1997). Chapter 173-22 of the Washington Administrative Code requires that all wetlands within the State of Washington be delineated using this manual. All wetlands within Jefferson COlll1ty are regulated according to the Jefferson COlll1ty 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 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. The subject parcel was initially examined to identify plant commlll1ities, potential wetlands, topographic features, hydrology sources, and drainage patterns. It was determined whether human impacts to the site would significantly alter the wetland. Hydrophytic Vegetation Criterion: Wetland plant species must, lll1der normal circumstances, constitute greater than 50% 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. Hydrophytic Soil Criterion: A hydric soil is a soil that forms lll1der conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding lasting long enough during the growing season to result in an anaerobic upper layer (USDA Soil Conservation Service, 1987). 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). Wetland Hydrology Criterion: Wetland hydrology is defmed in the WasJirington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual as "areas that are periodically inlll1dated or Have soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season." Areas must have seasonally inlll1dated or saturated soil at least 12.5% of the growing season (20 days out of258 days). The growing season is described in Jefferson COlll1ty 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, oxidized root channels, 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. Categorization Wetland categorization was determined using the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) Wetland Rating System, Western Washington (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 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 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 of20 to 40 feet. Wetland Delineation Methodology Plant Community Assessment: At each Data Point the dominant plant species within the tree, shrub, and herb stratum were identified according to Flora of the Pacific Northwest (Hitchcock and Cronquist 1973) and recorded. The estimated percent aerial cover and the indicator status were also recorded. It was then determined whether the hydrophytic vegetation criteria was met. When 50% or greater of the dominant species have an indicator status ofOBL (Obligate wetland species), FACW (Facultative wet wetland species), FAC (Facultative wetland species), the vegetation is considered hydrophytic. Outside the wetland, upland species have an indicator status ofFACU (Facultative upland species), UPL (Obligate upland species), and NI (No Indicator Status). Characterization of Soils: At each Data Point, a hole 16 to 18 inches in depth was dug. Existing perk holes were examined when present. Soil characteristics (matrix color, presence of mottles, etc.) were examined and recorded. It was then determined whether the hydric soil criterion was met. Determination of Hydrology Criterion: At each Data Point the presence ponding, depth of water within the soil pits, soil saturation, or other hydrological field indicators was recorded. It was then determined whether the wetland hydrology criterion was met. Seasonal wetlands that are dry during the summer months were, analyzed using historical maps and evaluating the soils and plant communities.
