Field work was conducted on January 31,2018 to determine the wetland boundary. This assessment was after several rain storms and before the beginning of the growing season as determined by dormant vegetation and soil and air temperatures below 40" (biological zero).1 The wetland boundaries are accurate within 5 feet as determined by topography, soils, and vegetation. The delineated wetland boundary corresponds with Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of the shoreline of Kah tai Lagoon. The OHWM has associated 200 foot buffer of a FWHA; the majority of the subject parcel falls within that buffer.2 This project will require a Shoreline Exemption. Rick Mraz, Wetland Specialist for the Department of Ecology has defined Kah Tai Lagoon as a Category II Coastal Lagoon (merno DOE July A6,2006). The wetland has been categotizedbased on Special Characteristics of a Wetland (DOE, Section 2, Rating S_ummary for Weston Washington2}l4 update) and will have associated 150 footbuffer. i LdqfiX Ca* U" rsb' b4"Fr ) Project Proposal The proposed single-family residence is still in the design process and will includes a-1,200 sqft home and if possible an-ADU. Currently there are two sewer hookups to the parcel and all the remaining utilities (water and electricity) would be brought in along Haines Street and outside wetland buffers. The parcel consists of two lots. Other impervious surfaces (driveways, off street parking for two cars, decks, ioof overhang) will be addressed in a stormwaterplan when the final plan is submitted.

It is at the bottom of a critical drainage basin for Port Townsend and has been identified as a significant habitat feature. Over 100 different species of birds and over 60 species of plants have been identified within Kah Tai Lagoon and associated wetlands. The parcel is located south of 19th street on Haines Street that is currently a nflrow dirt road. This dirt road is used as an access road to the City of Port Townsend Maintenance Shop and work areas. The City currently mows the street directly south of the subject parcel (undeveloped 18th Street) and the area in near their building to work on projects. These are all within the wetland and shoreline buffer. Methodology Methodology used for this delineation and buffer categoization include the Port Townsend Municipal Code (PTMC and as updated on the internet) and curent protocol. The characteristics of an area that result in its classification as o'wetland" have been formally defined by federal and state agencies. All wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region, Version 2.0 (May 2010) Additional methods to determine buflers and shoreline requirements is inciuded in the Appendix.

The wetland is defined by a drop in topography, vegetation, and presence of hydroiogy. Once the wetiand edge was estabiished between the wetlandiupiand piot it was marked with Orange Wetland flagging at20'to 30' intervals. Measurements from the wetland edge to the nearest known southeast property corners (survey stake) was 88' as indicated on Figure 2. The buffer between the subject parcel and Kah Tai Lagoon is significantly impacted with buildings, the City of Port Townsend maintenance shop, a dirt access road, and mowed streets and fields. The buffer functions and values have been significantly compromised and the plant communities consist mostly of non-native species. The dominant vegetation identified is Himalayan blackberry. Buffer impacts can be clearly observed on the Findings aerialmap in Figure 2. The Findings Map includes the delineated wetland edge, associated buffers, and data point locations overlaid on an aerial photograph (Google). Malcolm Dorn Wetland Delineation Report File #2018-0110 2 January 2018 Soils NRCS Soil Survey (internet) lists the soils as Sm Semiahmoo muck (hydric soil), and SaB San Juan gravelly sandy loam. Soils in all test pits appear to consist of fiI1 with the same consistency and color the entire depth. This could be from the construction of the adjacent dirt road and the historic impacts to Kah Tai Lagoon3. The soil matrix was recorded when possible; the water table is at a high level this time of year after multiple rain storms. The Soil matrix color in Data Point 1 (DP 1) was black to dark brown (Munsell soil color 12YR 2ll) vithno redoximorphic features. There were several large rocks and gravel within the soil profile. The soil pit filled- ln ai o.ri ."with water to the surface within 10 minutes. Data Point 2 (DP 2) was slightly upslope (about 15 feet to the north) and consisted of dry soils that also appeared to be backfill with rocks and gravel. The main color matrix was very dark gray (Munsell 10YR 312) no redoximorphic features. This data point is clearly outside wetland boundary. Soils in Data Point 3 (DP 3) were very dark brown (Munsell 10YR 212) andwere dry. Larye tree roots were observed at 12' belowthe surface. There were no signs of redoximorphic features that indicate regular inundation. This data point is outside the wetland boundary and approximately 18 feet north of the OHWM of Kah Tai Lagoon. Plant community, elevations, and water levels along the edge of Kah Tai Lagoon were all similar confirming the wetland edge. No additional wetland data points were required for this determination since several core holes confirmed findings. Vegetation This wetland delineation was conducted during the dormant season in January; most herbaceous vegetation was identified by last year's growth or growth structure. Trees and shrubs werb identified by famitiarity of branching, bud formation, and residual leaves on the ground. The dominant vegetation and percent cover is recorded on the Data Forms at the end of this report. In summary, the site has a higher percentage of non-native species. Some of the native species listed below were only observed as two or ihree plants and therefore consisted of a minor part of the plant community. The exceptions were Nootka Rose and snowberry 3 Kah Tai Lagoon was once alarge tidal marsh (recorded by George Vancouver in his 1792 joumal) but populations of Port Townsend gr'ew and in 1891 u t.ii"r of trestle bridges were built crossing the oowaste land". New development in 1930s frIther altered the l-andscape for development and n 1963 the Pofi Commission dumped 231,000 cubic yards of dredged sand into Kah Tai Lagoon. fne City approved additional development 1976 andfwelve more acres of the southern portion of the lagoon were lo=st. In 1990 rin rai Lagoon was recognized for its importance as a wildlife habitat and refuge and the city was able to obtain various grants for the development ofPort Townsend's newest park; volunteers have dedicated thousands ofhours revegetating and maintainine the park.

Data Points 2 and 3 were slightly upslope and were left open for over 30 minutes arrd never had soil saturation or standing water in the bottom of the 16" deep pit. The wetland was flagged between the upland/wetland Data Points. All upslope stormwater from Basin 9 drains towards Kah Tai Lagoon. The Lagoon is at a seasonal high- water level since the field work was conducted at the peak of the wet season. There is a known underground outlet at the southern end of the lagoon (as reported by the City) that eventually flows into Port Townsend Bay. Wetland Analysis and Critical Areas Review Catego ri zztion and Buffers The standard buffer width for a delineated Category II Coastal Wetland Lagoon is 150 feet as highlighted in the table below. The wetland was categorized using both the Special Feature Section and according to a standard wetland analysis that examines Water Qualrty, Hydrologic Function, and Habitat features. Both methods had the same results. The Wetland Rating Form is included in the Appendix at the end of this report. This proposed single-family residence is considered 'high impact land- use" since it is on a parcel smaller than one acre. All buffers are measured perpendicular from the delineated edge. Malcolm Dorn Wetland Delineation Report File #2018-0110 4 January 2018 Category II Wetlands High level of function for habitat (score for habitat 29-36 points) Low- 150 Moderate -225 High - 300 Maintain connectivity to other natural afeas.

Not meeting above criteria Low- 50 Moderate - 75 High - 100 Reserved. The OHWM corresponds directly with the delineated wetland edge and the 200 foot Shoreline Buffer would also be measured from that boundary. The entire site is within Shoreline Buffer and will require an exemption. Habitat and Species Assessment The following section describes historic information associated with this parcel. Information was gathered from Intemet search, existing critical areas maps, and communication with Judy Surber, City of Fort Townsend. During the site assessment in January, information was verified for accuracy when possible. Habitats of local importance were evaluated within one third of a mile of this parcel. All threatened or endangered plant or animal species were recorded and, if possible, surveyed during the January 31,2018 delineation. There are no spotted owls, eagle nests, or marbled murrelets near this parcel. Eagles are known to frequent Kah Tai Lagoon, but no nests are within one third of a mile of the proposed development. There are no sensitive plant species listed within the parcel or adjacent landscape. The only Priority Habitat Species listed on the Washington Department Fish and Wildlife are waterfowl concentrations. Maleolm Dorn Wetland Delineation Report File #2018-0110 5 January 2018 Watershed and Hydrologic Assessment This parcel drains toward Kah Tai Lagoon and is near the bottom of Basin 9. It is in the WRA Quimper Peninsula Sub Basin 2014 WRIA #17. The subject parcel rises slightly upslope to an elevation of 15 feet above the Kah Tai Lagoon as indicated in Figure 3. The building envelope will be located on the highest elevation of the site outside wetland buffers. Potential Impacts of Proposed Development Short-term impacts during the building process will be minimized by carcful construction practices. Quantities of excavated soils for the foundation and construction of the single-family residence will be discussed in detail in the stormwater plan. All other impacts and impervious surfaces will be addressed when the final plan is submitted. The proposed building envelope consists of non-nativc grass, herbs, with a sparse shrub layer of native and non-native species. No trees will be impacted or removed. Due to the gently sloping landscape there will be no potential for erosion or siltation entering Kah Tail Lagoon. Best Management Practices (BMPs) shouid be followed during and after construction. There will be no alteration of surface water flows since the site is well drained and final contours should follow the original landscape. During voluntary landscape planning, only native species will be planted in the buffer. This re-vegetation effort will not require monitoring. Limitations The final authority over approval of this Wetland Delineation and Categorizationwill be the City of Port Townsend Development Services Department. Final jurisdictional authority over wetland, shoreline, and buffer determinations rests with the local, state and federal agencies. If there are further questions or planning requirements for this project, please do not hesitate to call. Summary Olympic Wetland Resources, LLC conducted a Wetland Delineation and Categoization for Malcolm Dom (parcel 948300602) 1803 Haines Street, Port Townsend, Washington on January 31,2018. Kah Tai Lagoon is Category II Coastal Lagoon and will have associated 150'. The OHWM corresponds directly with the delineated wetland edge. Findings confirm that the parcel is within the 200-foot Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of Kah Tai Lagoon and will require a Shoreline Exemption. Only a portion the subject parcel is within the 150 foot wetland boundary. It should be noted that the current buffer _ :6conditions are highly impacted by City streets and have low habitat values or functions. !-v "S*'t The final design for the development (single family residence and ADU) will include a voluntary "Y"i1 revegetation of the remaining buffer on the parcel. The City of Port Townsend can issue waivers for'{ ----)buffer reduction and possibly partner in implementing a plan to upgrade and restore current buffer impacts.

The characteristics of an area that result in its classification as oowetland" have been formally defined by federal and state agencies. All wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region, Version 2.0 (May 2010). The wetland delineation report will include how the wetland boundary was determined and include a map of the delineated wetland, data sheets, and descriptions of site characteristics in both upland and wetland. The methodology outlined in the Corps Manual is based upon three essential characteristics of wetlands: (1) hydrophyic vegetation; (2) hydric soils; and (3) wetland hydrology. Field indicators of these three characteristics must all be present in order to determine that an area is a wetland (unless problem areas or atypical situations are encountered). All wetlands identified using this methodology may be regulated regardless of size. Determining Wetland Edges Wetland edges were determined by establishing pairs of,data points. In general, the wetland edge falls between the sampling plot with all three positive wetland requirements and where one or all of the requirements were not present. Other difficult situations encountered in identifying wetlands are described in greater detail in the Corps Regional Supplement Hy dr op hytic Veg etatio n Hydrophytic vegetation decisions are based on communities of species that tolerate prolonged inundation or soil saturation during the growing season. Vegetation sampling will follow the guidance outlined in the Corps Manual. Several methods can be applied; however one method includes recording vegetation of a sampling point to determine if more than 50o/o of the dominant species have a wetland indicator status of OBL, FACW, or FAC. Dominance of plant species is determined by calculating actual aerial cover within an appropriate radius for trees, shrubs, and herbaceous species at each data point. Commonly occurring plant species have been rated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Wetland Plant List NWPD, 2014 COE Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast. During the fieldwork, each species was recorded and given arutingbased on indicator status and percent cover. The2014 NWPL will be used in any wetland delineations or determinations performed after May 1, 2014. Key to Wetland Indicator Status codes - Northwest Region (Source: USFWS, 1988, 1993): OBL Obligate: species that almost always occur in wetlands under natural conditions (est. probability >99%). FACW Facultative wetland: species that usually occur in wetlands (est. probability 67 to 99o/o), but are occasionally found in non-wetlands. FAC Facultative: species that are equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (est. probability 34 to 66%). FACU Facultative upland: species that usually occur in non-wetlands (est. probability 6'7 to 99Yo), but are occasionally found in wetlands. UPL Upland: species that almost always occur in non-wetlands under normal conditions (est. probability >99%). Hydrophytic Soil 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 (IJSDA-NRCS 1995). Hydric soils favor the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation. The Natural Resources Conservation Service OIRCS), in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils, has compiled lists of hydric soils. It is common, however, for a map unit of non-wetland (non-hydric) soil to have inclusions of hydric soil, and vice versa. Therefore, field examination of soil conditions is important to determine if hydric soil conditions exist. In general, anaerobic conditions create certain characteristics in hydric soils, collectively known as "redoximorphic features" and include low chrom4 depletions, gleying, sulfidic material (rotten egg odor) andlor high organic content within the soil immediately below the A-horizon. Holes were dug on the site and soil colors were described by texture, color name, value, and chroma (Munsell Color 2000). Soils were categorized in accordance with NRCS Field Indicators of Hy:dric Soils of the lJnited States (Version 7 .0,2010 with updates). This manuai firther defines organic soiis, sandy soils, ioamy and clayey soils with a numeric value. Wetland Hydrologlt Water must be present in order for wetlands to exist; however, it need not be present throughout the entire year. The standard requires 14 or more consecutive days of flooding, or ponding or a water table 12- or less below the soil surface during the growing season. The growing season has begun when two or more different non- evergreen vascular plants are identified. Indicators of hydrology may include, but are not necessarily limited to, ponded water, drainage patterns, drift lines, sediment deposition, historic records, water-stained leaves, cracking of the soil surface, oxidiied root channels, and/at sediment denn"ifc The Reoinnol Srrnnlamenfa nrnrrir{a matLnz{o f^- ^,,-1.,^+i-- -i*,^+i^-- :.^ --,Grwu'i Jv'\:tiiviil .rlvPriDrrD. .riiv i'\'vBiriiicii vuy1lrvruvrrrr yrvvrsv iiis;liiv\is ivi VVAiLlqrur6 JllucllullJ rrr WgtlandS that periodically lack indicators of wetland hydrology but where hydric soils and hydrophytic vegetaiion are present. Categorizaiion Wetland categorization is determined using the Washington State Department of Ecologt (DOE) lptetland Rating System Revised (Ecologt Publication #14-06-029, Effective January 2015 and as amended), according to type and category of wetland. The wetland is assigned a score of High, Medium, or Low for wetland values; including water quality function, hydrologic fi.mction, and habitat function. The total rating determines the category of wetland. Wetlands are rated as entire systems and quite often exceed project boundaries. Ratings range from Category I to Category IV. Buffers are assigned according to intensity of land use for specific parcel size using final numeric scores' Category I indicates wetlands with the highest quahty of function for improving water quality, preventing flooding problems, and providing habitat. These are not replaceable and therefore receive the largest buffer and highest protection. Classification Two classification systems are commonly used to describe wetlands. The hydrogeomorphic (HGM) system describes wetlands in terms of their position in the landscape and the movement of water in the wetland (Brinson. 1993). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service classification system (Cowardin et a|.,1979) describes wetlands in terms of their vegetation communities; for example, emergent (PEM), scrub-(PSS) shrub, and forested (PFO) community types.
