consultants, determine what.wetland impacts can be avoided, prepare a preliminary mitigation
plan for those area!) where wetland impacts areunavoidable,~dresubmita new JARPA to the
COE for permitting the long range master plan.
Please note that under the permit described, 0.9 acreS of wetland have already been filled. Under
the new Nationwide permit rules, in general, impacts over 2 acres will rcquirean individual
permit, inclusive of the area already filled. Therefore,. it. is considered highly likely that any
activities that impact wetlands under the Master Plan will require an individual per:rnit rather than
a Nationwide Permit.
WETLAND REGULATIONS
An Qverview of regulations affecting Unpacts to wetlands are provided below for your
information.
Local Regulations: Jefferson County
To qualify as a .reglllated wetlanlJ in Jefferson County, an area must meet criteria defined inthe
1987 Army Corps of Engineers Manual(Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual,
Technical Report Y...87-1) Those criteria require that an area must predominantly support
wetland vegetation, must have hydric soils, and must have wetlandbyclrology characteristics
defined for the on site. soil type -- in this case, evidence or olJservation ofa long-duration water
table at 12 inches or less depth. TheJDinimum regulatory wetland sizeinJeffers()n County is as
follows:
· No minimum size for Class I (highest quality) wetlands
.
2500 square feet(50'x50') for Category II (high quality) wetlands
10,000 square feet (lOO'x1{lO') for Category III and IV (moderate quality, or smaIl, low
quality) wetlands.
.
that means that an area that meets. the three-parameter criteria listed above must also be larger
than the miniInum size to be regulated as a wetland by the County. The wetland edge is located.
lJy evaluating the presence or absence of the three Parameters, then flagged inthe fieldJor a
subsequent survey.
Once identmedasjurisdictional wetland, the wetland is tlrated" using the 1991 edition of the
Western Washington Wetlands Rating SysteIll, . The rating system combines a series ofquestions
and a point system to determine the specific v~ue of the indiVidual wetland; Depending onsite
specific, pre-development wetland vegetation, soils, hydrology and buffer characteristics, the
Page 2
wetland haS greater or lesser value and so is afforded varying levels of protection in the form of
wetland buffers. The higher the rating and the higher the intensity of development, the greater
the buffer, ranging from a minimum of25 feet for low quality, small wetlands adjacent to low
intensity development areas up to a maximum of 150 feet for the highest quality, or tare wetlands
adjacent to high intensity development areas. The area within the wetland and buffers is generally
considered unavailable for development, unless there is no reasonable alternative to the proposed
activity.
Federal Regulations: Army Corps of Engineers
Any direct impacts to the wetiand are regulated by the Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The
COE regulates wetlands of any size, i.e., there is no miniInum size for a fed,eral jurisdictional
wetland. Furthermore, theCOE must be notIfied of impacts to wetlands, even if the mpacts are
less than an acre in size. The COE sometimes chooses not to regulate impacts ofless than 1/3
acre, but prefer to make that decision themselves (i.e., if they arenotnotifie~, they may choose to
check the project for potential violations once construction starts).. If they doreguiate impacts of
less than 1/3 acre, it is usually under one of the many Nationwide Permits -'- pre-defined permits
that describe certain allowed. actions and their related mitigations. Impacts of 1/3 t<r 2 acres must
be reviewed and are typically regulated under one ofthe Nationwide J.>ermits. Impacts greater
than 2 acres require an individual permit, that is, there is no pre..definedallowed impact. A
detailed assessment of the project is required, including but not lirriited toan.alternatives analysis
and detailed justification of the proposed impacts.
Timing on the various levels of notification and permitting described above is varied. . But as a
general rule, Nationwide Permits can take from one to several months; individual permits Can
take from. one to several yeats.
Other Regulatory Agencies
Other potentially involved agencies include the Washington State Department ofFish and Wildlife
(WDFW), and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Natural Heritage
Program. \.
DISCUSSION
Site description
The site is at JeffersonCountylnternational Airport, located about 3.5 miles southofl'ort
Townsendwiththe majority of the inte11$ivelymanaged airport property lying between Highway
20 and Airport Cutoff Road -- a continuation of Beaver Valley Road. Please refer to the attached
maps for details (Appendix IV). The site has been managed as an airport since the early 1900s. It
was property of the Army during World War II, but reverted backto.localownershipafter the
war. The airport site lies on a divide between two'drainagebasinswithapproxitnately the western
Page 3
third of the propettyhistorically draining west and the eastern two-thirds drmningeast. Ditching
and draining associated with the airport runways may have caused some of the water that
historically drained west to drain east The eastern drainage forms the. headw~ters to Chimacum
Creek. . The western drainage runs to Discovery.Bay via offsite wetlands and drainages. The site
receives seasonal storm water drainage and some year-round substlfface seeping from. slopes to the
north and, less so, from slopes to the south. So the divide isitselfinthebase of abroad flat
swale. The current paved airport runway runs more or less east-west along the base oftheswale.
l There is. an old abandoned graSs runway located about 200-350feetupslope fromthepaved
runway.
The areas adjacent to the paved runway areextensiyelyditched, including a central ditch, a
southern ditch and a northern ditch running theentir~ length of the runway anddrainingtoabrrge
detention pond atthe east end of the runway. . Thatpond drains under the Airport CutoffRQadto

intended to be comprehensive. There may be other surface and subsurface drainage structures
that are not shown.. The purpose of this diagram is to show the majordrainagef?atures across_
the airport with special emphasis on those that might affect drainage in proposed constructiqn
areas.

The Hoypus gravelly loamy sand is mapped in the steeper uplands north .of the airport. The
Swantown gravelly loam is mapped along the Hoypus toeslopein the north-central parts ofthe
prQjectarea. The. Swantown gravelly sandy loam is mapped across the sWalebase in the western
majority of the airport and in western portions of the project area. The San Juan gravelly sandy
loam is mapped in the southeastern portions of the project area. The Agnew is mapped east of
the project ar~a, along the toeslope adjacent to the Swantowngravelly.loam. Please refer to the
attached soil map in Appendix IV for more details.
for your information, standard characteristics of the mapped soil series are described in Appendix
II. 'Please note that the SCS soil series maps and descriptions characterizeexvected
characteristics in only the top 60-100 inches of soil. Furthermore, the map units can have
rxtensive inclusions of other soil types, and in some fare cases" can he entirely in error. This
particular Soil Survey is a lower level survey,' so should always be verified with fieldworJ.c.
Wetland Descriptions

additional marginally wet areas was monitored to evaluate duration and depth of saturation. The
data forms for each ofthe wetlands can be found in APPENDIX I. We provide a brief description
of each system below to accompany the data Jorms.

Rosa nutkana(N'utka rose). There. are alsosevel'al clumps ofPopulustremuloides (quaking
aspen) andAlnus rubra (red alder) in the central portions' of the wetland. The drier PEM areas
are dominated by grasses, the wetter areas by Juncus. effusus (soft rush) and occasional areas of
Carex obnupta (slough sedge). The upland islands are dominated by grasses and Scot's broom.
The source of hydrology is storm water runoff that collectsa(;ross the broad valley bottom, some
ofwhiCl1 flows in through a culvettfrom east of Highway 20. This system drains northwest to
off site wetlands, and eventually to Discovery Bay.
The soils are mapped as Swan town . gravelly sandy loam, which in general is what we obs~rve.,
although with much higher water tables than is typical of the Swantownseries as desqribed in the
soil survey.
Wetland A2
This 5.3 acre wetland is 10cated'eastofHighway 20~t the west elld.ofthe airportrunwa)'.
Similar to AI, it also is aJarge PEM wetland with scattered communitiesofPSS (<JO%) and
'.somesmallopen water pockets. There is a ditch running up the middle .from the end of the
runway that may drain both to the west and to the east. The predmninant western drainage
crosses Highway 20 via a culvert. near the northwestentranc.e to drain to Wetland Ai,. so
hydrologically, fotthe most part, it isth~same system as Wetland AI. The east~mdrainage is
collected in the drains that run along the. runway to th~ east, eventually to. Chimacum Creek. . Tl1e
PSS areas are dominated by Spirea douglasii (hardhack), willows.and black cottonwood saplipgs.
The PEM areas are dominated by grasses,' Juncuse:ffUsqs (soft rush) and Carex obnupta (slollgh
sedge). The upland edges are dominated by grasses and, Scot's broom.
The source of hydrology isa. series of ditches along the runway as well as. seasonal doWnslope
seepage from the north. As described above, this wetland drains mostly to the westtbrough a
culvert under Highway 20,. then to Wetland At and eventually Discovery Bay. Some ofthe water
also drains.tothe easttbrough the airport runway drainage system.
As in AI, the soils are mapp~dasSwantO\vngravellysandylmun, which inigeneraliswhat we
observe,. although with higherw~ter tablesthan istypic.al oftheSwantownseri~s.
Wetland A3
This 0.5 acre we.tlandisalmost attached to A2, being locat~d just north of it and across a roadin
a toeslopearea that appears to have been disturbed during construction of ~ powerlineeasement.
!tis a small PEMI PSS system withthe PEMar7as located upslope $ld thePSSdownslopeandin
the adjacent forest in the northwest comer of the wetland. There is a large fill area directly
adjacent to the northeast, but it does not. appear to. have directly impacted the wetland, The PSS
areas are dominated by Spir~a douglasii; the PEMareas by JQncus effusus.andC~exspecies. The
upland edges are dominated by grasses and Scot's broom in cleared areas and Douglas-fir in the
forested areas upslope.
Page 6
The source of hydrology is toeslopecollection of stonnwater runoff . When enough watet
collects, drainage overflows across the road to the south and intoWedand A2.
The soils are mapped as Swantown gravelly sandy loam, which in general is observed, although
with higher water tables than.is typical ofthe Swan town series,
WetlandA4
This 11 acre wetland is located across a broad side slope at the northe,astend oftheairport. Its
lower side slope areas form a large. Palustrine Emergent (PEM) wetland, dominate,d by grasses
and Juncus.effusus. However, along the upper... slope, just below the northeast .access.road, itjs a
complex PSS' and Palustrine .Forested (PFO). system with a wide varletyofspecies,.inc1udmg
western redcedar,red alder~ various willow species,saJmonberry,etce,tera'The. upland edges are
dominated by grasses on the Jower slope areas (where, the water seeps deeper in the. soil), Scot's
broom in higher elevation areas previously cleared to the east, and Douglas-fir in the far northeast
comer.
The source of hydrology istoeslope seepageofstonnwater runoff that .coUectsacross the broad
side slopes to the north. . The majority of the wetland groundwater water seeps into the. deeper
sandy soils lower on the slope, but SOlIle r~ to the southeast to eventually drain d.irectlyinto the
large drainage pond located at the eastendofthe runway.
The soils are mapped as San Juan gravelly sandy loam -- a dark-colored, deep,' well-drained sandy
soil. The observed wetland soils are quite sandy, but. also have a very shallow water tableaIld
surface soils with high organic matter cOntent. The.lower.slopesoils (outside the wetland) are not

Wetland AS
TmsO.14 acre isolated wetland is located south of the runway in the southwest portions of the
airport property in a .smallnatural drainage swale.. . The wetlan<lis a PEM system withjustafew
blackcotton\Voodsaplings. It is very lipear,and seeps back into the ground before itge,tstill the
way. downslope. The w~tlandvegetation isdoIIliru,tted by Juncuseffus;us; the upland with grasses.
The sour.ce of hydrology is storm water runofIthatcollects ofitheshaUowClallmnsolls tothe
south,. draining laterally tOWard the valley bottom. There.is no surface overflow, but grOundwater
will eventually seep downslope. and be c.ollectedin the drainsysterns along the runway and flow to
the east.
The soils are mapped as Swan town gravelly sandyJoam or Clallmn. Bothofthose soils have a
cemented 'substrate, which we observed. in the general area. But.in the wetland swalearea, the
long. duration water table. is much highet.th&h is typical ofthe.Swantown series.
Page 7
Wetland' A6
This 0.53 acre wetland is located at the toeslope across the nortlj. central part oftheairport
properties. It is a stnall PEM/ PSS system associated with an old drain that runs drains west
along the toeslope to divert some of the toeslope seep to the west rather than downslope toward
the hangars and other airport buildings. The PEM areas .are grassed; thePSS areas are dOnUnated
by Spirea douglasii, willows.andhawthome. The uplands to the south are grassed; the uplands to
the north are forested.
The source of hydrology is toeslopeco]Jectionofstormwaterrunoffthat collects across the broad
side slopes above, The drainage ditch, -which extends beyond the end of the -wetland several
hundred feet eventually drains to Wetland A2.
The soils are mapped as Swantowh gravelly loam. We doobserveashallowsoil in this area, but
the sand content is higher,. appearing to be in transition to the San Juan soils mapped farther east.
Wetland A 7
This 0.14 acre wetlandislocatecl inthe far southeast comer of the airport, east pfthe Ai,rport
Cutoff Road. It appears to be a remnant of wetlands that were probably more extensive inthis
area before the large drainage facility about 50-100 feet to the north was installed. It is a . .
PEM/PSSsystemdominated by Juncus effususand Spirea douglasii. The surrounding. uplands
and buffers are dominated by grasses and Scot's broom.
The source of hydrology is stonnwater runoff that collects from the adjacent road surface. The
system appears to periodically surface flow into the dtainage facility that subsequently drains to
ChimacumCreek.
The soils we mapped asSan Juan gravelly sandy loam, which in general is observed<although with
higher water tables than is typical of the San Juan series.
Wetland AS
This O.OS..acreisolated wetlandislocatedjust west of the Airport Cutoff Road, across the.road.
from A7. It appears to be an old. compacted road surface where traffic rutted down to the
underlying glacial till . It has stabilized and developed intoa'sm.aI1PE~dominatedbyJuncl1s
efIususand' Carex obnuptawith occasional shrubby species, Theadjl;lcentuplands .are dominated
by grasses and Scot'sbroom. .
The source of hydrology is stormwater.runofffromthe adjacentfoadsurface'andpossibly some
collectipnofstormwater runoff from the side slopes tothe south. There does not appear to be
any surface drainage out of this system.
The soilS are mapped as San Juan gravelly sandy. loam, but more resembles a poorly drained
version of the Swantown soils.
Page 8
Wetland A9
This O.lS .acte-wetland is located southwest of AS, ill an area that maY receive drainage fronl a
recently c1e.arcutupslopearea, or may receive runofffrom old road surfaces to the West. It is a
disturbed area that doesn't quite meet soils or hydrology criteria, but supports a healthy obligate
and FACW wetland plantconnnunity, fucluding Typhalatifolia (cattails), Carex obnupta,and
Spirea douglasii. The upland edges are dominated by grasses.
The source of hydrology is storm water runoff that collects from upslope to the south and West.
Surface overflow may collect in Wetland AS.
T4e soils are mapped as San Juan gravelly sandy loam, but more resemble the Swan town with a
shallow water table. .
Wetland AlO
ThisO.02acre isolatedwetlandis 10catedeastoftheAirport Cutoff Road, northeast of AS,fu an
area that receives drainage from the adjacent road surface. . The surrounding area looks as if it
was Once wetter, but has been drained to some degree. Thisrenmantwetland has deyeloped in a
low-lying area that collects r.oadrunoff. Vegetationislimited, although the surrounding upland
area supports a nice young stand of quaking aspen.
The source of hydrology is road runoif. There is no apparent surfac.e outlet.
The soils are mapped as San Juan gravelly sandy.1oam, which they resemble, but with a shallow
water table.
Wetland C 1
This 0.27 acre isolated wetland islocated in the uppercentralnotthernsideslopeofthe airport,
directly north ofthe Spruce Qoose Restaurant. It is anisolated pocket of side slope seep entirely
surrounded by dirt roads and parking area. Vegetation is grassy, but includesm.anyobligate
sedges and rushes with a few small red alder saplings at the upslope edge.
The source of hydrology is side slope seep and some roadruno~ There is noapparentsw1:ace
outlet, although water drains down the slope and causes the. soils to saturate in the dirt parking
and roads for about 10-15 feet around the southern edge.
The soils are mapped as San Juan gravelly sandy loam, which they resemble, . but with a shallow
water table. and much higher organic matter content.
Wetland Classmcationand Rating
For this prelitninary report, we.arenot providing any wetland rating .information, sfuce some of
the information may change. after \Ve meet with the involved regulatory agencies. . Butfu. generaL
Page 9
these systems will rate at least as Category III, and some will rate as Category II. None will meet
requirements forratirig as Category I.
In summary, the wetland described above drain awayfrom the center ofthe airport with some
drainingto the west and some to the east. The western systems are more ext~nsive and continue
off site to. the west. The eastern systems all appears to be more or less isolated, wit!). the exceptjon
of Wetland A4 which actually drains directly into a large storm water facility at thee~st ~nd ofthe
runway. The maj~rity of hydrology appearsto'come fromtoeslope seeps at the base of the broad
slopes that run along the north side oHhe airport. That water drains out across the adjacent flats
to either drain deeper into the sandy soils at the east end of the airport, or to surface above the
shallow hardpans found at the western end of the airport.
I hope' this report provides adequate information for you to proceed with project planning. If you
have any questions, please feel free to call and discuss.

APPENDIX II
AGNEW SERIES (1)
The Agnew silt loams are moderately deep, somewhat poorly-drained soils formed in .shallow
glaciolacustrine sediments, overlying laminated gla.cial till. These soils are often associateq. with
wetlands.. Generally, the upper' soils 'are. silt loams grading to silty clay loams WIth depth.
Mottling is expected at 3 inches depth and gleying at 9 inches depth -- evidence of seasonal water
almost to the surface for extended periods. Belowapptox. 30 inches (in the C horizon), gravel
content increases abruptly from <5%' in thesurf{lC~ soilsto between 10 and 50% in the subsoils.
The loweI' horizons are highly lamitiated and very hard g!acialtill.
Average soil percolation rates in the upper 9 inches are expected t()be modemte (0.6-2 inches per
hour), decreasing to moderately slow (0.2-0.6 inches per hour) below 9 inches depth.
The Agnew soils are generally suitable for some crops and pasture with the mainlimitatioIl being
seasonal wetness (a perched water table) at 12 to 24 inches depth.
The main limita.tions for onsite septic and stomiwater treatment are related to both theminilllal
depth to the hardpan and seasonal wetness. Soil water percolatingthtough these soilswilll11ove
laterally in the. soilrather than down.. The. seasonal high water table and/or the sllallow till layer
limits the amount of soil ava.ilable to effectively treatstormwater.orseptic effluent.
HOYPUS SERIES
The Hoypus gravelly loamy sands are deep, somewhatexcessivelydrain:dgtavellysoils formed in
glacial outwash on terraces. They are usually found on llplands~slopesrangingfrom O..30~. The
surface soils are generally dark gray to dark brown gravelly loamy sands. Subsoils are dark
yellowish-brown gravellyJoamy sands overlying dark grayish brown gravelly loamy sands grading
to very gravelly sands \\lith depth. The~e horizons with varying colors and textures are a result of
different depositional events.
Average soilpermeabilityis expected to be. rapid (6.-2() inches per hour).
Most of the H9YPuS soils weI'eonginallywooded, bl,lt a great deal ofthell1appedacrea~ehas
been<cleared andis now used for. li:mi...:t.ed p..asture, gardens, an... dhomesit. es...Thep. r. unary.'<.' . .li:mi..'tations
are related to rapid percolation rates and slope. Storm water will percolate'intothe soilreadilym
undisturbed areaS, but will receive relatiyelyIittle treatment inthe soil due to rapid percolation.
Septic system q.esign will be limited also by rapid percolation, poor treatrnent ofeflluent, and
steep slopes making design difficult.
SAN JUAN SERIES

becomes coarser with depth, grading to gravelly 10arnY coarse sand and gravelly coarse sand.
Page 1
Average soil permeability is expected to be rapid (6-20 inches per hour) throughout.
The. San Juan soils are is used for fannland,hayland, pasture, woodland or homesites with few
limitations. The priII1ary li1nitation for septic dfainfieldsor storinwater facilities are related to
poor filtering <<apacity due to rapid percolation rates and relatively low surface area in sAndy soils.
Ifhousing density is moderate to high, community sewage systems or alternative septic designs
are recommended to reduce potential of water supply contamination by seepage.
SWANTOWNSERlES
The Swan town gravelly sandy lo~are' somewhat poorly-drained soils formed. in glacial till
Ul}der a forest cover. Generally~there is.a very slowlyp~nneable.cementedtilllayer at l8~24
inches depth. The overlying soils are dark grayish brown to brown gravelly sandy 10aI11S with
mottling from 5 inches do\Vn. It is often found on lowland seepltreas along toeslopes of hilly
glaciaJ. terraces.
Average' soil percolation rates in the upper horizons are expected to be moderately rapid (2-6
incht';sper hour) above the cemented layer and very slow (less than 0.06 in<.;hes per hout) in the
cemented layer -"- effectively.impermeable. A perched water table is~xpectedat ~to 1 feet depth
duting the rainy season.
The Swantown soils are generally suitable for woodland, wildlife habitat and recreation. Septic
systems are limited by the seasonal water table. Foundationsundet homes . are . expected to flood
during the rainy season. Storm water systems don't work well due to minimal storage and
treatment potential.

DEFINITIONS
Column Headings:
Horiz = horizon: This word refers to the horizontal bands of soil that form at various depths from the surface as a result of either
accumulation of organic materials or leaching of clays and salts by water. '!A" horizons generally have an accumulation of organic
materials. "B" horiwnsgenerally have an accumulation of clays or salts. "C" horizons are. generally either undifferentiated pareIlt
material or are below the zone of major biological activity. A small letter followingtlie capital letter provides additional information.
"Bw" describes a "cambic" or barely developed B horizon; A "ew", "es" Of' "ci" afteraBor Cdescnbes a horizon with weak
cementation, strong cementation, and ind\lrationrespe()tively. An "r" after a Bor Cindicates that the horiwnis dominated by
saprolyte, which is rotten rock- i.e. rockth.at is. so decomposed that it is ahnostsoil An '!R" after aC indicates tpat theC horizon
is predominantly hard, ~decomposed bedrock. A "2" in front of a BorC horizon indicates that the subsoils have a different parent
material than the overlying soils.
Dpth = depth: gives the distance from the surface for the top and bottom of elll;h horizon.
Col =co1or:gives aMUI).sell Book color chip code. The Munsell color codes (example: 1 QYR 3/4)giveinfonnationonthe hue (lOYR),
value (3), and chroma (4) of the soil. Soil color can be used to infer parent materiaJ. percent organicconte[lt, or soil drainage
characteristics. For example, soils witl). both low chroma and value (example: 1 OYR 2/2) arevery dark<olored and tend to have
hi~ I;)rganicmatter contents; soils with aMunsell chroma code of2 or less (example: IOn 7/2) may be poorly drained.

Gentlemen:
We have evaluated your revised proposal to discharge fill
material in 0.9 acre of wetlands which are above the headwaters
to construct two hangars and a taxiway. This project is shown on
plans provided to the Corps of Engineers by kpff Consulting
Engineers dated September 11, 1996. Department of the Army
regulations dated November 22, 1991, authorize certain activities
under nationwide permits, provided the enclosed conditions are
met. Nationwide Permit 26 (Part 330, Appendix A) authorizes
discharges of dredged or fill material into nontidal rivers,
streams, and their lakes and impoundments, including adjacent
wetlands, that are located above the headwaters where the average
annual flow is less than 5 cubic feet per second. Your project
is authorized by this nationwide permit.
The entire text of Nationwide Permit 26 is enclosed.
Prior to placing fill, you must contact the Washington State
Department of Ecology to determine whether documented habitat for
a state listed species is present. If present, this nationwide
permit is not valid and you must contact us again to determine
permit requirements. Please contact:

This verification will be valid for a period of 2 years from
the date of this letter or until the nationwide permit is
modified, reissued, or revoked. This nationwide permit is
scheduled to expire January 21, 1997, but is expected to be
reissued. The verification will remain valid for the 2 years if
reissuance of this nationwide permit is not modified or your
proposed work complies with any subsequent modification.
If in the future you propose to place additional fill in
waters of the United States, including wetlands, on this site,
you must contact us concerning any additional permit
requirements. While you need no further authorization from us,
you must still comply with other Federal, State, and local
requirements which may pertain to the work. If you have any
questions, please contact Mr. Jack Gossett at the above address
or by telephone at (206) 764-6902.

Reference:
Deal:. Mr'. Miulli:
On August 22, 1996, Mr. Paul Hamidi of my staff met with Ms.
Lisa Palazzi of Pacific Rim Soil & Water to review various
wetland regulatory issues with respect to the proposed
developments at the Jefferson County International ~irport. The
following points were discussed:
1) A drainage swale was created between the east end of the
runway and SR 19 in 1989 or 1990. The work may have be$n done in
wetlands, based on landscape position. However, there are no
records indicating that the area was in fact a wetland. In any
case, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) will not be taking
~llforce(n~nL actiou involving this work bcc~uoe a) excavation in
wetlands did not become a regulated activity until Sept~mDer.
1993; b) the work was completed over five years ago ann is
therefore beyond the statute of limitations for legal aFtions.
2) Ms. Palazzi indicated that ~ small area of wetl~nds
adjacent to the access road off SR 20 (in the northwestl part of
the airport) had been filled in 1992. No evidence of fill in
wetlands was found in this area. '
3) The wetland d~linenr.ion (p.nclns~d) for the proposed
widening of the access road off. SR 20 was confirmed by Mr.
Hamidi. The wetlands are considered to be "above the headwaters I'
(definition enclosed) for the purposes of Nationwide Permit 26
(enclosed). Nationwide pennit 14 (enclosed) may also apply to
the work if the trNotification" condition is met.
4} The site of the proposed tiedown apron expansion as
depict.ed on the enclosed map was inspected for jurisdictional
wetlands. No wetlands were found. A permit from the Corps will
not be. needed for work in this area.

5) The site of the proposed taxiway anq eaxilanes as
depieted on the enclosed map was inspected for jurisdictional
wetlands. wetlands were found to exist on at least part of a
linear flat at mid slope. It appears. this area was leveled in
the pas~ and may have been an old runway. Although wetland
hydrology cannot be confirmed at this time, hydric soills and .',
hydrophytie vegetation are present. These wetlanc!s are; ~< ":~T:
C!onaidered "above the headwaters K for the' purposes of btiat ionwide '. .:~~'.
Permit 26. A complete wetland delineation w1ll be' needled on this ,-'"
site to determine potential impacts to wetlands. Nati wide
Permit 26 applies to impacts of less than utl~ acre (wi- out
notification). wetland impacts on the entire airport operty
(such as the road widening) are counted toward the one ere.
please contact MX'. Paul Hamidi. telephone (206) 164,-5531, if
you have any questions about this let ter .
