The goal of the wetland delineation was to determine wetland edge locations, wetland categorization, and associated buffers near or on the parcel. A Level I Wetland Assessment was conducted on October 4,2005. At that time the exact edges of the parcel were not located; since that assessment property boundaries have been surveyed and flagged. Wetland analysis was conducted using the methodology outlined in the Washington State Rating Systems for Western Washington (2004) and City of Port Townsend's Municipal Code (PTMC), Critical Areas Ordinance (NO. 2899, July 2005). All wetlands within the City of Port Townsend are subject to requirements outlined in the Code. Land use restrictions will apply to all future developments associated with this parcel as determined by Development Services Department (DSD) of Port Townsend. Description of Site o Legal Description: Parcel #951 900 003 o Location: Southeast of Cook Avenue, Between Peary Avenue and Michigan Place (both undeveloped) o Zone: R-l Low Density Residential- 10,000 sq. ft.minimum lot size o Soils: Wa Wapato Silty clay loam (listed on the hydric soils list of Jefferson County) surrounded by CmC Clallam gravelly sandy loam (not hydric) . Slopes: Wapato is nearly flat 0 to 3% HYDRIC SOIL, Clallam has slopes from 0 Io l5o/o o Wetlands: Winona Wetland to the southeast and a listed wetland on the National Wetland Inventory and unnamed wetland on the parcel both shown as (PSSA) Palustrine Scrub/Shrub Temporary Flooded), nearby wetlands include Levinski Wetland (WL 4-10), Tepee Wetland (WL -7),Tibbals Lake, and several unnamed wetlands upslope and along the Quimper Wildlife Corridor. Rozanski Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2005-1204 1 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. December 2005 A site location map, soils map (Soil survey of Jefferson County), and National Wetland Inventory are included in the Appendix (Sheet #l and Sheet #2)' The 70,000+ square foot triangular shaped lot is primarily flat rising with steep slopes along the southwest corner to Cook Avenue. The central portion of the parcel contains a dense rose and spirea layer surrounded by a mature evergreen and deciduous forest. Much of the shrub layer has been cleared to examine soils for stability. Within the forest, the understory consists of ferns and oversized elderberry creating a park like setting. Methodology Complete methodology used conducting this delineation is included in the Appendix. The following resources were consulted for this project: o Port Townsend Critical Areas Map Wetlands (1995) o Pre-Application Conference Report (Pre 05, Rozanski PUD Proposal) . Aerial Photographs (May 1972,July,l976,Jvne 1985, July 1990) . City of Port Townsend's Municipal Code (July 2005) o Soil Survey of Jefferson County (U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1975) o Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual o National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) o National Wetland Inventory Maps (US Department of the Interior) o COE and DOE Hydrology Assessment For Port Townsend Area7ll2l05 Findings Winona Wetland (Portion Adjacent to Parcel #951900 003) Winona Wetland has been examined, categorized, and partially delineated in the early to mid 90's (Polaris Engineering,Palazzi and Klein 1992 and Olympic Wetland Resources, lnc 1997). A map from Polaris Engineering (1993) indicates a wetland edge. At that time a formal wetland report was not required. During the initial wetland assessment in1992 Winona was rated as a Category II Wetland (41 points). Wetlands are dynamic systems and water pattems fluctuate over time. During the 1997 delineation water levels were documented along Peary Street and recorded to depths of 22 inches (Wetland Delineation Report, Olynpic Wetland Resources, Ilc., May1997). Rising water tables caused large trees to die. Port Townsend is currently in the 5th year of below normal rainfall and Winona Wetland has not had ponded water for many years' The South Reserve of Fowler's park is adjacent to Winona Wetland. Findings from data collected during the delineation reveal Winona Wetland to be 25 feet southeast of the triangular corner of the subject parcel and continues off site to the south. Only associated buffers of Winona Wetland will fall on the parcel. Rozanski Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2005-1204 2 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. December 2005 The wetland's edges were flagged with orange plastic ribbon labeled "Wetland Boundary," at points 20 to 40 feet apart. Flagging is labeled with alphanumeric codes (Al through A5). The data point locations and wetland edges are indicated on the Findings Map in the Appendix (Sheet #3). All Data Forms for soil test pits and DOE Classifications forms are included in the Appendix. Categorizution Using the new DOE rating form Winona receives 28 points for Water Quality Functions, 8 points for Hydrologic Functions, and 30 points for Habitat Functions. The total score of 66 te- estabiishes Winona as Category II wetland. Buffer sizes are then established using the new city of Port Townsend Municipal Code Ordin ance 2899 (July 2005). Buffers for this wetland are assigned according to points for habitat value, land use impacts, and intensity levels (19.05.110 Critical Area 5-Wetlands E. Buffers and Setbacks 3b, buffer sizes 3b). The proposed project of 8 dwelling units and acommons house on 70,000 sq. ft. will qualiff as high intensity development. According to Code all residential development with more than I dwelling unit per acre is high intensity development. Buffers for this project according to the Code are 300 feet measured perpendicular to the wetland edge. Soils Jefferson County Soil Survey (page 40) lists soils within the valley as: CmC Clallam sandy loam and Wa Wapato Silty clay loam (Hydric Soil). Wapato is listed as a hydric or wetland soil on the Jefferson County Hydric Soil list (January 1991)' Mottling was observed in both the upland and wetland Data Points; all soils indicate a historic and variable water table. Data Point #1 had hydric soils (1OYR 312 and 1OYR 512 with mottles 10 YR 414) andmoist soils yet this site is outside of the wetland boundary due to the dominance of upland vegetation. Data Point #3 is also outside the wetland boundary, soils here were in distinct contrast; the hardpan layer was at 4" andvery dry. These hard soils still had mottling and soil colors that qualified as hydric (l0YR 512 and lOYR 6/l with mottles 7.5YR 5/8). Vegetation at this Data Point #3 was dominated by upland species. The soil test pit atDataPoint #2 confirmed the presence of hydric soils (1OYR 612 with abundant mottles 10YR 516). DataPoint#2, within the wetland,had a dominance of facultative and obligate wetland vegetation to confirming the location of the wetland edge. Vegetation Both the wetland and the upland areas have a high diversity of native plant species. The wetland has a mosaic of plant communities, structural layers, and habitat features. Wetland dependant vegetation, a healthy shrub and emergent layer, standing snags, and large woody debris contribute to this high quality wetland. Also present along the perimeter of the wetland are large trees, both evergreen and deciduous. The central portion of Winona is plagued by reed canarygrass since the wetland became dry.

Plants classified according to the Fish and Wildlife Service; 1988,1993 Update Rozanski Wetland Delineation Report File Number 20Q5-1204 4 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. December 2005 Hydrology Water only needs to be present 20 days of the growing season for an area to qualifr as a wetland. This delineation was conducted at the end of another very dry year in Port Townsend and after 5 years of below normal rainfall. Hydrology can be assumed when there are strong indicators in the soil and plant layers. Hydrology can be proved over many years due to historic records: aerial photographs, National Wetland Inventories, mapped hydric soils, and previous delineations. Wetland B (On Parcel #951900 003) Wetland B, located within the low-lying portions of the subject parcel, was identified during the Level I Assessment in October 2005. The presence of willows, both alive and dead, and facultative vegetation indicated the potential presence of a regular water source. A test pit was dug and soil moisture and hydric soils, were identified. A corresponding upland pit was also dug; it was dry and hydric soils were not present. Wetland B was NOT delineated during the Winona Wetland delineation; however four Data Points were dug and the site was categorized to determine potential buffers. The presence of hydric soils, a majority of facultative plants (FAC and FACW) and moisture in the top layers was identified in three of the four Data Points. Data Point information and the DOE Rating Forms are included in the Appendix. Estimated boundaries are shown on the Findings Map (Sheet #3). Documentation supporting the presence of a wetland on the subject parcel includes the Jefferson County Soil Survey indicating hydric soil (Wa Wapato). The Department of the Interior National Wetland Inventory Map has also mapped the parcel as wetland (PSSA Wetland) Palustrine Scrub-Shrub Temporally Flooded Wetland. These maps are included in the Appendix (Sheet #2). Categorization Using the new DOE rating form Wetland B receives 12 points for Water Quality Functions,4 points for Hydrologic Functions, and 24 points for Habitat Functions. The total score of 40 points establishes Wetland B as a Category III wetland. Buffer sizes are then established using the new city of Port Townsend Municipal Code Ordinance 2899 (July 2005). Buffers for this wetland (after a the edges are formally established) are 150 feet due to moderate scores for habitat function and high intensity land use levels. Soils The subject parcel has been mapped with hydric soils (Wa Wapato) covering over 213 of the parcel. The remaining soils are upland (CmC Clallam) and correspond with the rise in elevation from the flat basin. Soil mapping can often be off by a hundred feet but field findings indicate the soils in the low-lying areas match the hydric soil classification. Soil test pits at Data point #lF.,#28, and#48 confirmed the presence of hydric soils; soils were low-chroma the entire depth of the soil test, indicating frequent saturation and a high water table (wetland soil colors 10YR 312 and2.5 YR 3l2withmottles 10YR 4/4). Rozanski Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2005-1204 5 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. December 2005 Data Point # 38 along Peary Street is slightly up gradient and outside the wetland. Soils did not contain soil moisture or colors (1OYR 512 no mottles). According to the recent survey Data Point #3 is slightly higher in elevation than the other three data points. Vegetation Wetland B does not contain the diversity of vegetation of Winona Wetland. Wetland B is dominated by a vigorous shrub layer surrounded by several standing snags; the open areas consist of mono-typic stands of Nootka rose and spirea with swamp gooseberry and wetland grasses and rushes. The area was recently cleared and the new vegetation returning is mostly rose and gooseberry. The surrounding forest consists of willow (both alive and dead), alder, and amature forest consisting cherry and grand fir and a few Douglas' fir. Hydrology It is diffrcult to document the historic presence of hydrology by aerial photographs at this location due to the dense shrub layer (over 5 feet tall). During the October Level I Assessment moist soils were identified atData Point #1B and was compared to an upland data point that was bone dry. At this time Winona had less soil moisture. The subject parcel has not been studied as extensively as Winona. During the 1997 Winona Wetland Delineation for Karno, ponded water was documented to 22 inches in depth across Peary Avenue. This was an exceptionally high water year. According to survey results from November 30, 2005 the subject parcel is only 2.57 feethigher than Winona Wetland (64.59' development site, 62.02' Winona). It is most likely that during the high water years hydrology would be within the top 16 inches of the soil layer and hydrology could be established. Summary The edge of Winona Wetland was delineated and re-categorized on November 28, 2005. The delineated edge falls off the subject parcel to the southeast. Winona Wetland still rates as a Category II wetland (66 points) using the updated DOE rating system. The City Ordinance adopted in July of 2005 (19.05.110 Critical areas 5- Wetlands E.3a. Buffers and Setbacks) assigns wetland buffers according to the habitat value scores. High intensity developments near Category II wetlands, with a habitat value score of 30 points, are assigned 300' buffers. Identified during the Level I Assessment in October 2005 was a wetland on the subject parcel (Wetland B). Wetland B was not delineated during field work on November 28,2005 but hydric vegetation and hydric soils were positively identified; hydrology was not identified within the top 16 inches of the soil surface although the soil was moist. Port Townsend has been experiencing unusually dry weather patterns since the year 2000. During these drought years wetlands can be verified when the other indicators within the vegetation and soil layers are confirmed. It is highly is recommended that a wet season evaluation be conducted to re-examine hydrology and that a delineation be conducted to define the exact wetland edges. This report includes the approximate location of Wetland B (Finding Map Sheet #3). Rozanski Wetland Delineation Report File Number 2005-1204 6 Olympic Wetland Resources, Inc. December 2005 Wetland B rates as a Category III wetland (40 points) using the updated DOE rating system; it has a moderate level for habitat value (24 points). This wetland will be assigned 150' foot buffers after a delineation has been conducted. Although Wetland B is not shown on the Port Townsend Wetland Maps it has been previously mapped on the National Wetland Inventory as a Palustrine Scrub/Shrub Temporarily Flooded wetland (PSSA). The site is mapped containing the Wapato Series soils (Wa), which are classified as hydric soils. Wetlands are dynamic systems and change over time. To predict if Winona Wetland or Wetland B are disappearing or actually becoming more critical for stormwater retention and control when the rain levels are normal or above normal is beyond the scope of this report. These wetlands are within a drainage basin and the Quimper Wildlife Corridor. Both Winona and Wetland B have a high to moderate functional value for habitat due to undisturbed and continuous forest buffers, and proximity to many nearby wetlands and priority habitats' The final authority over all wetland determination or buffer reductions rests with the governmental agencies and the Development Services Department, City of Port Townsend.

Chapter 173-22 of the Washinglon Administrative Code requires that all wetlands withinthe State of Washington be delineated using this manual. All critical areas within the City of Port Townsend are regulated according to the Port Townsend Municipal Code Critical Codes Ordinance (NO. 2899, July 200s PTMC). The methodology outlined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual requires examination of the thnee parameters for a positive wetland determination: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. For an area to quali$ as a jurisdictional wetland it must have a positive indicator from all three parameters. All wetlands identified using this methodology may be federally regulated, regardless of size. Soils A hydric soil is a soil that forms under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding lasting long enough during the growing season to result in an anaerobic upper layer. Hydric soils favor the growth and regeneration of hydrophytrc vegetation. The indicators for this ffi of soil include low chroma" mottles, gleyrng, and high organic content within the upper 32 inches of the soil prpfile. Holes were dug on the site and soil colors (including value and chroma) were recorded in the top 16 inches. Soil colors were analyzed using the Munsell Color Charts (1992). Vegetation Wetland plant species must constitute greater than5IVo of the total vegetation present to meet the qualification as a site dominated by hydrophytic vegetation. Dominance of plant species is determined by calculating actual aerial cover within a 30-foot radius for trees, a l0-foot radius for shrubs, and a 6-foot radius for the herbaceous layer at each data point. Commonly occurring plant species have been rated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: Northwest (Region 9) as to their frequency of occurrence in wetlands and non-wetlands. During the fieldwork, each species was recorded and given a rating based on indicator status and percent cover. Hydrologt Wetland hydrology is defined in the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual as "areas that are periodically inundated or have soils saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season." Areas must have seasonally inundated or saturated soil at leastl2.5Yo of the growing season (20 days out of 258 days). The growing season is described in Jefferson County by the Jefferson County soil survey as March l2 to November 25. The growing season can also be defined by soil temperature at 19.7 inches below the soil surface being higher than biological 0 (5oC or 40"F). Indicators of hydrology include visual observation of inundation or soil saturation, water- stained leaves, cracking ofthe soil surface, and/or sediment deposits. Positive signs of hydrology are often absent during the summer and fall months but can be inferred if there are positive indicators of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation. Classification Wetland categoization was determined using the Washington State Department of Ecolory @OE) Wetland Rating System Revised @cology Publication #04-06-025, August 2004), according to type and class of wetland. The wetland is assigned a numerical value for water quallty function, hydrologic function, and habitat function. The total score determines the category of wetland. Wetlands are rated as entire systems and quite often exceed project boundaries. Ratings mnge from Category I to Category [V; Category I is the highest quallty wetland. Buffers are assigned according to land use and numeric scores. Category I wetlands are not replaceable and therefore-receives the largest buffers and highest protection. Determining Wetland Edges Wetland edges were determined by establishing pairs of data points: one within the wetland which contains positive indicators of all three of the wetland requirements: soils, hydrology, and vegetation, and another data point outside the wetland, where one or all of the requirements were not present. The wetland edge is flagged between the pairs of points at intervals of 20 to 40 feet.
