Critical Area(s) Present ❑ Wetlands (ECDC 23.50)
❑ Frequently Flooded Areas (ECDC 23.70)

Site Description,
During review and inspection of the subject site, it was found that the site may contain or be
adjacent to critical areas, including Geologically Hazardous Areas (Erosion Hazard Area or
Landslide Hazard Area), pursuant to Chapter 23.80 of the Edmonds Community Development
Code (ECDC).
The associated LiDAR map indicates that the subject site declines gently from west to east with
a slope of approximately 11%. Just beyond the northern edge of the subject site, the slope falls
away steeply to the adjacent parcel at a grade of approximately 42%. Soils throughout the site
are identified as Alderwood Urban Land Complex (8% - 15% slope). As a result, slopes that
exceed 15% are considered erosion hazard areas and the northern slope that exceeds 40% is a
potential landslide hazard area.
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.
