Additionally, wetland plant species exist on the site and therefore wetlands may be present. Based on the above findings, it is determined that there is potential for critical areas on or adjacent to the site. A Critical Areas Study is required to delineate the boundaries of the potential critical area, its buffers and setbacks. A wetlands biologist must examine the site and determine if wetlands are present. If wetlands exist the biologist must delineate the wetlands and associated buffers. A licensed surveyor must create a topographic map of the site which indicates all areas which slope 30% or more and have a vertical gain of 20 feet or more within the 30% slopes. The map must also show the location of the steep slope and any wetlands along with their associated buffers and setbacks. All critical area studies shall be performed as three party agreements with the city selecting the consultant and the property owner or applicant paying the fees. If the property owner wishes to apply for a specific development permit which they feel would not impact the Critical Areas located on the site, they may submit their proposal to the Planning Department for review. If the Planning Department finds that the proposed development permit will not adversely impact a Critical Areas or its buffers, a conditional waiver may be issued on a project by project basis.

His letter is attached and he is not in a position to visit the site again. He also clearly states that the City's determination to require a wetlands analysis by a qualified biologist is appropriate. Please let me know if you wish to proceed with this project and therefore will be needing studies for both the wetlands and steep slopes.

Thank you for requesting my assistance in evaluating the Dr. Park Project. We visited the property on the afternoon of November 3rd. The subject property appears to be significantly constrained by steep slopes. The area you asked me to evaluate is a relatively small depressional feature located within a ravine/gully drainage corridor, bordered with steep slopes. The dominant plant community is a young stand of red alder, with an understory of horsetail, salmonberry, cascara and blackberry. The steep slopes are covered with a mixed stand of conifers and deciduous trees. The plant community within the depressional area is a typical facultative scrub-shrub/forested community that we find growing in wet areas. We dug several soil pits. The soils were very moist. There was no standing water at the time of our visit. You mentioned observing standing water over much of the depressional area during a visit on October 15th. It was too dark to study the color of the soil profile, look in the pit, or observe other hydric soil and hydrologic field indicators. The soil was very sandy. It was difficult to dig the pits. There is a hard glacial till layer at about 10 to 12 inches below the soil surface. The till layer is likely acting as an aquitard for the shallow unconfined aquifer. Subsurface water flow appears to daylight along the base of the steep slopes in the depressional feature, across the floor, then downgradient along the ravine. I recommend that the City require a qualified wetland consultant be hired to evaluate the presence of wetlands in the subject area. It was too dark to make a positive wetland determination during our site visit. I am particularly concerned about the influence that water has in the area, given its geomorphologic location. Water has obvious slope stability ramifications should building activity be considered. If residential structures are proposed in the area, a qualified engineer should be consulted to evaluate the potential for slope failure. These concerns overshadow other wetland functions the area may be providing. r Mr. Kirk Vinish City of Edmonds Page 2 Please feel free to call on me for further assistance once the area is evaluated for the presence of wetlands by a qualified consultant. 1 am sorry I was unable to make a positive wetland determination for you.

The project site is located south of Olympic View Drive, just west of the Olympic View Drive and 760 Avenue West intersection (Figure 1). Our study included four parcels located in Edmonds, Washington (Parcels #00370800101100, 00370800101000, 03434600010601, and 00370800100900). The purpose of this letter report is to briefly describe sensitive areas identified on or near the project site for the purpose of peer -review wetland boundary and wetland category verification. A Critical Areas Report will be prepared and submitted at a later data. The project site is partially developed and presently contains three houses, two of which are not occupied. Ornamental plantings are present in the vicinity of these houses; the remainder of the protect site is forested. Vegetation included species found predominantly In upland areas such as sword fem. big leaf maple, and Douglas fir. Topography on the project site Is Irregular. In general, the land slopes down to the east, although there are also several ravines or closed depressions present. A small wetland was identified and delineated in one of the depressions on the property. Wetlands or streams were not believed to be present off -site of the subject property within 200 feet of the property lines. This area was studied to the extend possible through the review of background materials and from visual assessments from the property boundaries. Wetlands on the site were delineated according to the 1907 Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual. Wetland ratings have been applied according to the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 23.50.010.

Even small areas of wetland habitat are important within an upland forest, providing seasonal water for birds and small mammals, and potential habitat for amphibians. We also disagree with the assessment of condition 4. Filling the wetland will not maintain equivalent or greater habitat functions and values over existing site conditions. In fact, filling the wetland will eliminate the only existing wetland on this property and, thus, will eliminate the habitat functions it provides. The wetland likely does not meet the exemption conditions and therefore does not qualify for exemption of filling under the ECDC.

The purpose of the reconnaissance was to observe and compare current site conditions to two previous wetland delineations that were conducted on the property. The previous reports were prepared for this site by Pentec (1997) and Talasaea (2005) and show discrepancies in the size of the onsite wetland. The 1997 reconnaissance claims the wetland is composed of approximately 1,700 square feet, whereas the 2005 delineation shows the wetland is approximately 400 square feet. At the time of our field visit, the flags from the 2005 delineation were still on the site. Based on our January 5, 2006 field observations, it appears that the 2005 delineation is approximately correct. We agree with the dominant plant species and soil colors documented in the 2005 delineation report. We also agree that precipitation contributes to the hydrology of the wetland; however, shallow groundwater from the surrounding hillsides is likely the main source of wetland hydrology. While we generally agree with the boundaries of the 2005 delineation, a portion of the depression southeast of the wetland (Near TP-2 in the 2005 delineation report) was inundated. However, we cannot definitively conclude that the wetland is larger than the 2005 delineation report because there has been an abundance of recent precipitation (more than 2 weeks of moderate to heavy rain) and January is not considered the growing season in western Washington. During the growing season (starting in March), the area may or may not exhibit wetland hydrology for 2 consecutive weeks. In addition to conducting a field review of the wetland delineation, you also requested that we review the four conditions for exemption of wetland fill under the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 23.50.040 described in the 2005 delineation report. We agree with conditions 1 and 2: the wetland is less than 500 square feet in area and is a Category 3 or 4 wetland.
