Critical Area Determ¡nation (CR4201901'37 )
Based on a review and inspection of the subject site, staff has determined that one or more
critical areas are located on or near the site. Critical areas are ecologically sensitive or
hazardous areas that are protected in order to maintain their functions and values.
Site Description
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site contains and is
adjacent to critical areas, specifically Erosion Hazard Areas, pursuant to Chapters 23.80 of the
Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
The site is currently developed with a single-family house with associated landscaping. Soils on
site are identified as Alderwood Urban Land Complex (8-L5% slopes).
The associated LiDAR map indicates that a slope runs adjacent to the southern property
boundary, which drops a vertical distance of approximately 10 feet over a horizontal distance of
50 feet for an average slope of 2O-percent. Slopes of 15- to 4O-percent are considered erosion
hazards.
What does this m ean?
The critical area regulations are only triggered when an alteration is proposed to a critical area
or its buffer. Any development on this site will require an erosion control plan. lf you have a

What is an 'Alteration'?
According to Section 23.40.005 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC)
"Alteration" means any human-induced action which
changes the existing conditions of a critical area or its
buffer. Alterations include, but are not limited to:
grading, filling; dredging; draining; channelizing;
cutting, pruning, limbing or topping, clearing, relocating
or removing vegetation; applying herbicides or
pesticides or any hazardous or toxic substance;
discharging pollutants; paving, construction,
application of gravel; modifying for surface water
management purposes; or any other human activity
that changes the existing landforms, vegetation,
hydrology, wildlife or wildlife habitat value of critical
areas.
