Seismic Hazard Areas: Yes ❑ Fish & Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas (ECDC 23.90) ❑ Mapped Fish & Wildlife Habitat: NA ❑ Streams: NA Site DescriDtion The subject property is located along the west side of Sunset Ave. N. and is currently developed with a single-family residence. Soils on the site are unknown due to years of modification, including fill associated with BNSF railway. Unknown soils are categorized as Urban Land in the Soil Survey of Snohomish County Area (1983). The site is within a known Seismic Hazard Area. Seismic hazard areas are areas subject to severe risk of damage as a result of earthquake -induced ground shaking, slope failure, settlement, soil liquefaction, lateral spreading, or surface faulting. These areas are designated as having a "high" and "moderate to high" risk of liquefaction as mapped on the Liquefaction Susceptibility Map of Snohomish County by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources or areas located within landslide hazard areas. Additionally, the city LiDAR map shows an erosion hazard area along the eastern portion of the site which is currently developed with a residence. The site is level along the eastern portion of the property and steps down towards the west, but slopes appeared to be less than a 10-foot change in elevation. The map also shows some potential landslide hazards on the adjacent properties to the south however the slopes appeared to be less than 10 feet in height. No other critical areas observed on or adjacent to the subject site. What does this mean? The critical area regulations are only triggered when an alteration is proposed to a critical area or its buffer. However, once an alteration in or near critical area is proposed, critical area studies and City review and approval may be required. 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.
