CFTY OF EDMONDS RE: Wetland Determination Report for 24025 74th Ave W Edmonds, WA (Snohomish County Tax Parcel No. 00488800701000) Wetland Resources, Inc. (WRI) performed a site visit on October 16, 2014, to locate and delineate the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) and jurisdictional wetlands on and in the vicinity of the above referenced address. The subject property is located north of state route 104, east of 7611' Avenue `V, and is on the western shore of Lake Ballinger in Edmonds, IVA. The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) locator for the subject site is Section 33, Township 27N, Range 04E, W.M. The subject property is located within the Cedar/Sammamish Watershed, Water Resources Inventory Area (WRIA) 8. The 0.53 -acres subject site is developed as a suburban single-family residence. While the majority of the on-site property is maintained as lawn, other vegetation consists of a few trees and a variety of emergent and shrub vegetation adjacent to the lakeshore. The dominant lakeside vegetation present consists of cultivated pine (Pinus spp.), Oregon crabapple (Malus fusca), Douglas' meadowsweet (Spiraea douglasn), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), swamp rose (Rosa pisocarpa), yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), skunk cabbage (Lysitchiton americanus), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), and Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica). The invasive Himalayan black berry and Japanese knotweed occur along the northern portion of the shoreline, and extend landward onto the property approximately 40 -feet. The subject site is bordered on the east by Lake Ballinger, and on all other side by single-family homes. The topography of the subject site slopes, from west to east, down to the lake. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS Prior to conducting the site investigation, public resource information was reviewed to gather background information on the subject properties and the surrounding area in regards to wetlands, streams, and other critical areas. These sources included the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), USDA/NRCS Web Soil Survey, Snohomish County SnoScape interactive mapping tool, WDFW SalmonScape online mapping application, and WDFW Priority Habitat and Species (PHS) Interactive Map. According to NRCS Web Soil Survey, the soil map units Alder -wood -Urban Land Complex, 8 to 15 percent slopes and 2 to 8 percent Wetland Resources, Inc. 7411, Avenue W — Lin Property October 22, 2014 WRI #14264 slopes, are predicted to occur on the subject site. Wetland conditions were evaluated using routine methodology described in the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of'Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0), (referred as 2010 Regional Supplement), The methodology in the 2010 Regional Supplement coincides with the methodology described in the Washington State Wetlands Identi zcation and Delineation Manual (Washington State Department of` Ecology Publication 96-94, March 1997). In general, wetland delineation consisted of two tasks: (1) assessing vegetation, soil, and hydrologic characteristics to identify areas meeting the wetland identification criteria, and (2) mapping wetland boundaries using aerial photography and existing survey information. The following criteria descriptions were used in the boundary determination: 1.) Examination of the site f'or hydrophytic vegetation (species present and percent cover); 2.) Examination of the site for hydric soils; 3.) Determining the presence of°wetland hydrology Based on the results of the site reconnaissance, one wetland was identified on the subject property. The wetland was rated pursuant to the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (ruby 2004). The on-site wetland is an emergent/scrub-shrub, lake -fringe wetland located along the shoreline of Lake Ballinger in the eastern portion of the site. At the time of the delineation, soils within the wetland were saturated at 8 inches below the surface, and the water table was observed at 11 inches below the surface. Dominant vegetation within the wetland consists of: Oregon crabapple ( alus fusca; FACW), sal onberry (Rebus spectabiliss FACW), Douglas' meadowsweet (Spiraea douglasii; FAC), and skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanurn; OBL). The wetland is dominated by dense scrub -shrub vegetation along the landward side of the OHWM, and by emergent vegetation and open water in the water -ward side. A large snag is adjacent to the wetland, located on the abutting property to the north. All of the dominant species within the wetland area have an indicator status of facultative (FAC) or wetter°, which meets the hydrophytic vegetation criteria per the 2010 Regional Supplement. The soil is a black (10YR 2/1) histic material to a depth of at least 16 inches. This meets hydric soil indicator A3 (Black Histic). The on-site wetland received an overall score of 31 points, and a habitat score of 15 points, on the Washington State wetland rating system, which equates to a Category III wetland rating. Per section 23.50.040(F)(1) of' the Edmonds City Code (ECC), a Category III wetland receives a protective buffer width of 50 -feet. Adjacent noxi -wetland soils are dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) gravelly sandy loam to a depth of at least 12 inches. No saturation or presence of a high water table was observed, the soils do not meet hydric indicators, and vegetation co iriunities (primarily lawn) are not hydrophytic. Lake Ballinger is a shoreline of' the state, and is subject to the Edmonds Shoreline Master Program regulations (ECC 23.10). The majority of subject parcel is within 200 -feet of OWM, and is classified as Suburban Residential IV Shoreline environment. The protective 35 -foot Wetland Resources, Inc. 2 7411, Avenue W — Lin Property October 22, 2014 WPI #14264 setback (from the rear parcel border) provided by this section of code is waterward of the 5Q -foot buffer associated with the ori -site lake -fringe wetland. In situations where buffers overlap, the more restrictive shall be applied.

If you answer YES to any of the questions below you will need to protect the wetland according to the regulations regarding the special characteristics found in the wetland. Check List for Wetlands That May Need Additional Protection YES NO (inmm addition to the protection recommended for its category) SP1. Has the wetland unit been documented as a habitatfor any Federally listed Threatened or Endangered animal or plant species (TIE species)? For the purposes of this rating system, "documented" means the wetland is on the appropriate state or federal database. SP2. Has the wetland unit been documented as habitat for any State listed Threatened or Endangered animal species? For the purposes of this rating system, "documented" means the wetland is on the appropriate state database. Note: Wetlands with State listed plant species are categorized as Category I Natural Heritage Wetlands (see p. 19 of data form). SP3. Does the wetland unit contain individuals of Priority species listed by the WDFW for the state? SP4. Does the wetland unit have a local significance in addition to its functions? For example, the wetland has been identified in the Shoreline Master Program, the Critical Areas Ordinance, or in a local management plan as having special significance. To c.°oin plele the to?xI art o "the data sheet you will need to determine the Hvdrogeomornhic Class r "the wetland beim rated. The hydrogeomorphic classification groups wetlands into those that function in similar ways. This simplifies the questions needed to answer how well the wetland functions. The Hydrogeomorphic Class of a wetland can be determined using the key below. See p. 24 for more detailed instructions on classifying wetlands. Wetland Rating Form — western Washington 2 August 2004 version 2 Updated with new WDFW definitions Oct. 2008 Wetland name or number Wetland A Classification of Wetland Units in Western Washington If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated, you probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question S. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)? ❑✓ NO — go to 2 L-] YES — the wetland class is Tidal Fringe If yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)? YES — Freshwater Tidal fringe NO — Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) If your it,ellalPe can be classified as a Freshwateidal M4nge use the,fiwons for Riverine wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is rated as an Estuarine wetland. Wetlands that were called estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions, and this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept. Please note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed (see p. ). 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. ❑✓ NO — go to 3 ❑ YES — The wetland class is Flats If your wetland can be classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the fonn for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland unit meet both of the following criteria? ✓ The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any vegetation on the surface) at least 20 acres (8 ha) in size; ✓ At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m)? ONO— g......... oto 4 ✓YES —The wetland class is Lake -fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual), The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks. The water leaves the wetland without being impounded? NOTE; Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually _'311 diameter and less than I foot deep). ❑ NO - go to 5 ❑YES — The wetland class is Slope Wetland Rating Form — western Washington 3 August 2004 version 2 Updated with new WDFW definitions Oct. 2008 Wetland name or number Wetland A 5. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or river The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years. NOTE: The riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding. 7NO - go to 6 F]YES — The wetland class is Riverine 6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time during the year. This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior of the wetland. [:]NO — go to 7 ❑ YES — The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet. F--INO — go to 8 7YES — The wetland class is Depressional 8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM clases. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE UNIT (make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10% or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less than 10% of the unit; classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90% of the total area. If you are unable still to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or if you have more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

[ Old-growth forests: (west of Cascade crest) Stands of at least two tree species, forming a multi -layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare) that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 inches (81 cm) or more. NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two -hundred year old trees in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW criterion is and "OR" so old-growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter. Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 — 200 years old OR have average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches (53cm); crown cover may be less that 100%; decay, decadence, numbers of snags, and quantity of large downed material is generally less than that found in old-growth, Cat.
