Suite 106 Everett, Washington 98208 (425) 337-3174 Fax (425) 337-3045 Wetland Resources, Inc. completed a site investigation on June 5, 2006, to locate and evaluate jurisdictional wetlands and streams on and in the vicinity of the 0.49-acre site located at 8125 Frederick Place in the city of Edmonds, WA. The Washington State Department of Ecology Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual March 1997, was used to determine wettand conditions. Site Description Access to this property is from the south via Frederick Place. This property is occupied by a single-family residence with existing amenities. The northern portion of the property is comprised of a deep ravine with Perrinvitte Creek located off -site at the bottom of this ravine. The existing house is located immediately adjacent to the top of slope of the ravine. Perrinville Creek is know habitat for anadromous fish in the city of Edmonds, and as such is a Type F stream. Type F steams in the city of Edmonds typically receive 100-foot protective buffers. The ravine appears to be comprised of steep slopes. Please refer to the Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation Heath Residence prepared by Nelson Geotechnical Assocites, Inc. and dated November 16, 2005 for a discussion of these slopes and management recommendations. Proiect Description The applicant is proposing to replace an existing deck and retaining wait located adjacent to the slope ofthe ravine. The new deck and retaining watt are proposed to be located in the same location as the old structures, resulting in no impacts to steep slopes or the stream buffer. It appears that if BMP erosion controU measures and all recommendations provided by the geotechnicat study are implemented, there will be no adverse impacts to functions and values of the site or to the adjacent stream. Use of this Report This Wetland Determination Report is supplied to Master Decks as a means of determining on -site wettand and stream conditions. This report is based largely on readily observable conditions and, to a lesser extent, on readily ascertainable conditions. No attempt has been made to determine hidden or concealed conditions. Reports may be adversely affected due to the physical condition of the site and the difficulty of access, which may lead to observation or probing difficulties. The laws applicable to wetlands are subject to varying interpretations and may be changed at any time by the courts or legislative bodies. This report is intended to provide information deemed relevant in the applicant's attempt to comply with the taws now in effect.
