Waters of the US including wetlands are regulated under federal, state, county and city laws and regulations. The lead agency is usually the county or city planning departments within which you live in. Nearly all counties and cites have a minimal size wetland that they will not regulate. Even though certain wetlands may not be regulated under local county or city jurisdiction because oftheir size and mayor may not require buffers, DOES NOT make those areas "non-wetland". Federal and state government agencies regulations require approval and permits before discharging fill into or draining waters of the United States including wetlands, even ifthe county or city is the lead agency for you project. In some cases you may be required to obtain local, state and federal permits before development related to waters of the U.S. and wetlands. There are certain cases where the Federal Court or the Supreme Court has determined that Federal agencies, such as the US Army Corp of Engineers, do not have jurisdiction over certain types of wetlands. For example, based on a U.S. 2001 Supreme Court decision, federal agencies no longer have regulatory oversight for wetlands determined to be isolated that are not associated with interstate commerce use. The Court ruling did not change Washington state laws on wetlands and isolated wetlands are considered waters of the state. Even though a local government or federal agencies may not regulate certain waters of the US including wetlands, does not mean the Washington State government does not. Washington State through the Department of Ecology and Department ofFish and Wildlife regulates all wetlands and waters within the state except for those artificial wetlands intentionally created from nonwetland sites, including, but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals detentions facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetland created after July 1 1990, that were unintentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street, or highway. It is prudent to check with appropriate federal, state and local government agencies to secure approval and the proper permits before proceeding to discharge fill into, or drain waters of the United States including wetlands or their buffers.

ZONING: Rural Residential 1 :20 Harader 961400002 1 LSWC 12/8/08 .) ~ .l A. INTRODUCTION The parcel for this study does not have normal circumstances existing on site. The vegetation and soils have been disturbed in the past 5 year by logging and cleaning the area by removing logging slash and grading. The area associated with the impacted uplands and Wetland Area 1 has been seed with a pasture or erosion control seed mixture. The seeded species growing on site indicates that the seed mixture was dominantly F AC to F ACU species. Because of the land management practices applied to the land, upland and wetland vegetation is very patchy in areas that might have been dominantly wetland vegetation especially in the area that has now been delineated as Wetland 1. The parcel is a potential problem area because of the soils and level to gently sloping topography on the parcel. The Jefferson County Soil Survey identifies the soils on the parcel as the Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 0 to 15 percent slopes. The Alderwood series is identified as having enough volcanic ash in its profile to be classified as an Andic subgroup of Inceptisols but not enough to make them Andisols. Field test using IN Sodium Fluoride showed that there is a high component of ash in the soils on the parcel but like the Alderwood series did not have enough ash content to make them Andisols. The ash content found in the soils on the parcel conforms to the ash now identified with the Alderwood Series and documented in the 04/2007 revised Alderwood Series description. The soils have a hue of 7.5YR or IOYR with values 2 to 4 and chromo of 2 to 6 when moist. The high chroma colors in the soils on the parcel especially below the "A" horizon or immediately below 10 inches depending on which come first, appears to be preventing positive determination of hydric field indicators in the soils. The soils recorded at Wetland Plots 1,2, IB, 3B and 4B within the boundary of Wetland 1 have at least one the following: (1) compact till within 16 inches of the soil surface, (2) a mucky mineral subsurface, or (3) observable hydric indicators immediately below 10 inches. Except for Plot IB all of the plots support a dominance of wetland vegetation. Plot IB supports a dominance of planted non-native upland species. Soils on plots that have compacted till at or above 16 inches and support wetland vegetation are assumed to a have perch water tables:S 12 inches from the soil surface during the growing season. Although it is assumed that perch water tables occur, redoximorphic features are not observable because they could be could be inhibited by coatings ofnoncyrstalline Al hydroxides on secondary Fe minerals or masked the high chroma matrix colors in the soils. Hydric soil characteristics and hydrology were not present at the time of the field investigation in the area ofthe shallow swale of due to the lack of precipitation. Additional plots (lB-4B) were established to try to better define the soils and vegetation relationship within the swale. The additional plots just confmned that the swale is a complex of upland and wetland sites and did not produce any additional hydric soils information. During a re-evaluation of the site it was decided not to go through a year of monitoring to determine whether reduction and oxidation or perched water table occur on site to determine the wetland boundary for the swale. Also it was decided to delineate the wetland associated with the swale mainly using vegetation and topography because of the lack of hydric soil indicators and hydrology. The boundary for Wetland 1 is mainly identified by the dominate areas of wetland vegetation, which is for the most part the outward limits of dominant patches of Juncus effuses (common rush) and Juncus bufonius (Toad rush).

These included: a) Review of preliminary site data and, b) On-site investigation to determine the presence of wetlands. a) A review of existing information was conducted to develop background knowledge of physical features, and to identify the potential for wetland occurrence on the subject property. The resource documents available for preliminary review of the site conditions included: USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS), "Soil Survey of Jefferson County Area Washington", (1990) aerial photography, and Jefferson County Planning Department data. b) During the on-site investigation, wetland areas were determined and verified on the basis of three parameters: Hydrophytic Vegetation, Hydric Soils, and Wetland Hydrology, as recommended in the Washineton State Identification and Delineation Manual (Washington State Department of Ecology, Ecology Publication #96-944, March 1997). Wetlands categories and wetland vegetation classes were identified and classified using the Washineton State Wetlands Ratine System of Western Washineton. Second Edition (Washington State Department of Ecology, Ecology Publication #93-74, August 19937). A positive wetland determination is made when all three parameters are present, or in certain situations determined following the guidelines recommended in wetland determination procedures, or for atypical situations or problem areas. HydrODhytic Veeetation Areas where more than 50% of the dominant species present from all strata are hydrophytes (plants adapted to growth and reproduction in saturated soil conditions) are considered to be inside the wetland boundary, unless clear evidence of hydric soils or wetland hydrology cannot be established. A species is considered dominant if it is equal to or greater than 20% areal cover, or exerts a controlling influence on, or defines the character of a community. Hydrophytic vegetation is determined to be present, when under normal circumstances: More than 50% of the dominant plant species in a plant community have an indicator category of Obligate Wetland (OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW), and/or Facultative (FAC) as listed in "National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9)", (Reed, Porter B., Jr., 1988), and the "1993 Supplement to National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9)" dated December 1993 that became effective on March 31, 1994. Indicator categories of FACW+, FACW-, FAC+, are included as FACW status. 'F AC+ species are considered to be wetter (i.e., have a greater estimated probability of occurring in wetlands) than F AC species, while F AC- species are considered to be drier (i.e., have a lesser estimated probability of occurring in wetlands) than F AC species.' Plant indicator status definitions are presented in TABLE 1 below. . ~ Purpose and Approach Continued This Plant Indicator Status Categories system was developed for the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory by Cowardin et al. (1979). The National Plant List Panel, Reed, Porter B., and Jr. modified it in 1988 and 1993. The Wetland Indicator Category (WIG) used in this report refers to the plants Indicator Svmbol as referred to in the table below. National Indicators reflect the range of estimated probabilities (expressed as a frequency of occurrence) of a species occurring in a wetland versus a non-wetland across the entire distribution of the species. ("National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9)", Reed, Porter B., Jr., 1988), and the 1993 Supplement to List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) dated December 1993 that became effective on March 31, 1994. Percentages expressed as estimated probability. TABLE 1 Indicator Cateaory Indicator Svmbol Definition OBUGA TE WETLAND PLANTS OBL Occur almost always, >99% (estimated probability) in wetlands under natural conditions. <1% in non wetlands. FACULTATIVE WETLAND PLANTS FACW Usually occur in wetlands, 67-99% and 1-33% in non-wetlands. F ACUL T A TIVE PLANTS FAC Equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-wetlands 34-66%.

OBUGA TE UPLAND Plants UPL Almost always occur in non-wetlands of Northwest Region 9, >99%. <1 % in wetlands. Hvdric Soils There have been tremendous scientific changes since 1991 in several of the indicators such as the introduction of aquic conditions to cover the requirements for saturation, reduction, and morphological indicators used to define the modified aquic moisture regime, and mottles and low chroma colors being replaced by redoximorphic features. Because of these changes, we consult the US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service 2006. "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 6.0, G. W. Hurt, L.M. Vasilas (eds)., USDA, NRCS, in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils. Additionally, compliance to changes in Hydric Soils of the United States published in Federal RegisterNol. 59, No. 133/July 13, 1994 and Vol. 60, No. 37/February 24, 1995 addressing Criterion 2 of the Criteria for Hydric Soils definition is being observed. The main purpose for the criteria is to create . '" Purpose and Approach Continued Hydric Soil Lists. Criteria 1,3, and 4 can serve as both database criteria and as indicators for identification of hydric soils. When Criteria 1,3, and 4 are used to document the presence of a hydric soil, proof that anaerobiosis exists must also be obtained. Criterion 2 serves only to retrieve hydric soils from the database. Also, the wording for Criteria 1 and 2 were changed in 1999 to incorporate recent changes in Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 1999). Field indicators of hydric soil conditions in this document, (Land Resource Region (LRR) A that includes Western Washington), are presented here in an abbreviated form and include: Field indicators of hydric soil conditions in this document, (Land Resource Region (LRR) A that includes Western Washington), are presented here: (1) ALL SOILS: AI.

Indications of wetland hydrology are those where the presence of water has an overriding influence on characteristics of vegetation and soils due to anaerobic and reducing conditions, respectively. Areas that are seasonally saturated and/or inundated to the surface for a consecutive number of days for more than 12.5% of the growing season are wetlands provided the soil and vegetation parameters are met. Areas wet between 5% and 12% of the growing season in most years mayor may not be wetlands. Areas saturated to the surface for less than 5% of the growing season are non-wetlands. Wetland hydrology exists if field indicators are present. .. )I ..... Purpose and Approach Continued Field indicators of wetland hydrology may include, but are not limited to visual observations of inundation, ponding, soil saturation, oxidized root channels (rhizospheres) associated with living roots and rhizomes, watermarks, drift lines, water-borne sediment deposition, or wetland drainage patterns. The growing season starting and ending dates are required to evaluate hydrologic data. For wetland determinations, the growing season is determined using the local SCS county soils surveys. Generally, the growing season is calculated based on the "28 degrees F or lower" temperature threshold at a frequency of"5 years in 10". For much of western Washington at low elevations, the mesic growing season (March I to October 31) has been considered a good rule. However, in some areas of the Puget Sound Lowlands and coastal areas the growing season occurs all year round because the soil temperature at 19.7 inches below the soil surface is higher than 41 degrees F. Plant Identification and Classification Primary references used for scientific plant names and the endemic and non-native or exotic status of plants to the North Olympic Peninsula were determined as found in Flora of the Pacific Northwest by Hitchcock and Cronquist, Univ. of Washington Press, 1972. Other references referred to included: (I) A Field Guide to the Common Wetland Plants of Western Washington & Northwestern Oregon by Sarah Spear Cooke, editor, Washington Native Plant Society, May 1997; Wetland plants of Oregon & Washington by Jennifer Guard, Lone Pine Publishing, 1995; (2) Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast- Washington, Oregon, British Columbia & Alaska edited by Pojar and Mackinnon, D.C. Forest Service, Research Program, Lone Pine Publishing, 1994 and, D.C. Forest Service, Research Program, Lone Pine Publishing, 1994; and (3) Northwest Weeds by Ronald J.
