Port Townsend, WA 98 8 Re: Non -W ,.adand Determination for .22 acre parcel located on the south side of 31" yt" - 972600702)- alofig the Rosecrans Street easement, Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington. This parcel is located in the SW !/4 of the NW '/4 of Section 3, T 30 N, R 1 W, WM. Dear Jackie: This determination was conducted on July 16, 2008 using the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual developed by the Department of Ecology, in accordance with the Port Townsend Critical Areas Ordinance. The manual uses the three- wetland parameter methodology when determining the presence or absence of wetlands and all three parameters of hydric soil, wetland hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation must be present for an area to be considered wetland under normal circumstances_ This site is considered under normal circumstances so the Routine On -site Determination method was used to document the absence of wetlands. This determination was conducted for the construction single family home in the center of the property. The property is currently undeveloped with the exception of an exploratory trail entering at the northwest corner heading to the proposed home site. There are several single family homes to the north with a small forest to the west and southeast and farmland to the southwest. The property is dominated by a mixed forest with moderate to dense shrub and herbaceous layers. The topography consists of roiling hills that slope down gradually to the southwest. The North Dearing Wetland is wetland and s: bout 75 feet, romthe southwest corner and 100 feet from the IIf line. the west. s ...,..., Category II wetlands that have low points for water quality and habitat have a required 100 foot buffer when a high impact land use is proposed_ Single family homes on 1 acre or less are considered a high impact land use. It appears that the proposed home site will be outside the buffer and have no impact to the wetland or its required buffer. It appears that the wetland buffer will extend about 25 feet onto the southwest property corner. 44 s l !. 11 -u 7 1015 SM. Harper Road, Port Orchard, Washington 98367 L(360)876-240 F.'(,360) 876 -2053 0 Jackson July 30, 2008 Page 2 Although both lots were examined for the presence of wetlands, this study focused on the lowest areas of the lots and surrounding areas because they are the most likely location to find seasonal flooding in which wetland indicators are sometimes identified. The. data collected indicates that the low areas lack positive indicators for all three wetland parameters. The soils do not meet the hydric criteria and there is no evidence of wetland hydrology. The vegetation is dominated by both non - wetland and upland plant species that are common in mixed forests. This letter was prepared to describe the absence of wetland conditions on this parcel as verified during the site visit and completion of 3 test holes. Maps from the Jefferson County Soil Survey and National Wetlands Inventory are included to verify the mapped soil units and mapped wetland areas near the parcel. Jefferson County Soil Survey The on -site soils have been mapped as TuC Tukey Gravelly foam 0 -15% slopes, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey and Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey for the Jefferson County Area, August 1975. Tukey soils are not classified as hydric and do not contain hydric inclusions. The field data collected during completion of the delineation confirms the presence of the mapped soils in the areas indicated on the soil survey map. See attachments for site located on the soil survey and for a complete description of on -site soils. National Wetlands Inventory The U.S_ Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) online wetlands mapper, Port Townsend North Quadrangle, does not map any wetlands within 200 feet of the property. The City of Port Townsend Environmentally Sensitive Areas map (ESA) maps the North Dearing Wetland and a separate wetland offsite to the south but both are seasonally connected and should be considered part of the same wetland. This wetland is a Palustrine, Forested, Scrub /Shrub, Emergent, Seasonally flooded PFOSSEMC) system. No other wetland areas appear on the NWI within 300 feet of the property. See attachments for site located on the NWI and the Port Townsend ESA map. Deterrnination Methodology The property is determined to b non - wetland cause there are no positive indicators present for any of the three wetla d parameters Data was collected at 3 test holes to verify the absence of wetland conditzo t Hole 1 is in the center of the property near the proposed home location and Test Hole 2 is located in a small depression at the Jackson July 30, 2008 Page 3 southwest corner documenting typical upland and non- wetland conditions. Test Hole 3 is located roughly 75 feet west of the property in an area that appears to be part of the North Dearing Wetland. The following sections describe the data collected at test holes in the wetland and adjacent upland and used to make the wetland boundary determination. The upland data is described in separate sections and each section included cription of the dominant plant species, the soil profile and whether hydric conditions are present, and the presence /absence of wetland hydrology and/or wetland hydrology indicators. The dominant plant species identified by common and botanical name along with the indicator status (OBL, FACW, FAC, etc. See Appendix D for Definition of Indicator Status) are listed on the back of each data form. The presence of hydric soil conditions is examined in a 16 inch soil holes conducted at each test hole. The hydric soil criteria is met when there is a low soil matrix chroma at 10 inches or just below the A horizon. The chromas are determined using damp soil samples that are compared to a corresponding color chip in the Munsell Soil Color Charts. The chromas were then recorded on the data sheet using Hue (YR) and Value /Chroma. Any Hue and Value with a low Chroma is typical of hydric (wetland) soils that have developed over time due to inundation or saturation by water_ The presence or absence of wetland hydrology and/or wetland hydrology indicators includes the source of hydrology and direction of flow (if evident)_ Data Description Test Hole 1 is located near the center of the property in a small semi cleared area. The vegetation at this test hole consists of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) FACU Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii) UPL and bitter cherry (Prunus emarginata) FACU. The shrub layer is dominated by salal (Gaultheria shallon) FACU; Western trumpet honey suckle (Lonicera ciliosa) NI and ocean spray (Holodiscus discolor) UPL with low percentages of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) FACU. The herbaceous layer is dominated by trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus) FACU and bracken fern (Pteridium aguilinum) FACU. The soil hole revealed a single layer soil profile (0 -16 ") consisting of a gravelly loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 413. There was no hydrology or evidence of wetland hydrology present. Test Hole 2 is located in a small depression near the southwest corner along the Rosecrans Street easement. The forested canopy is dominated by Douglas fir (P. menziesii) FACU and Pacific madrone (A. menziesii) UPL with low percentages of Scouter's willow (Salix scouleriana) FAC_ The shrub layer is dominated by salal (G. Jackson July 30, 2008 Page 4 shallon) FACU; snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) FACU and ocean spray (H. discolor) UPL with low percentages of nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) FAC and serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) FACU. The sparse herbaceous layer consists of orchard grass (Dactylic glomerata) FACU and slough sedge (Carex obnupta) OBL. The soil hole revealed a two layer soil profile consisting of a sandy loam. The surface horizon (0 -2 ") has a matrix chroma of 10 YR 3/2 without mottling. The subsurface horizon (2 -16 ") has a matrix chroma of 10 YR 513. Wetland hydrology is not present however there is evidence of seasonally standing water. Test Hole 3 is located roughly 75 feet west of the southwest property corner near the edge of the North Dearing Wetland. The forested vegetation is dominated by large Scouler's willow (S. scouleriana) FAC. The shrub layer is dominated by nootka rose R. nutkana) FAC and trace amounts of hardhack (Spiraea douglasii) FACW. The herbaceous layer is dominated by false lily of the valley (Maianthemum dilatatum) FAC and trailing blackberry (R. ursinus) FACU with low percentages of velvet grass (Holcus lanatus) FAC; reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinicea) FACW and slough sedge (C. obnupta) OBL" The soil hole revealed a single layer soil profile (0 -16 ") consisting of a sandy loam with a matrix chroma of 10 YR 2i2 without mottling. There is no evidence or indicators of wetland hydrology like algal mats, oxidized root channels, dominance of facultative wetland or obligate vegetation or sediment stained vegetation. Non - Wetland Determination These lots were thoroughly examined and it has been determined that there are no wetlands located on the property because the data collected indicated that there are no wetland indicators present at any of the three test holes completed. During my site visit I dug all three test holes and left them open for approximately 112 hour in order to determine if any soil saturation was present and no hydrology or saturation was identified ay any of the test hole locations. There were no saturated soils, oxidized rhizospheres, oxidized root channels, algal mats, water stained vegetation, adventitious roots or surface scouring present. The soils are mapped as Tukey gravelly loam 0 -15% slopes and the soil holes revealed a gravelly loam consistent with this soil type. The soils did not have hydne indicators such as mottling or streaking nor did they have a sulfidic odor_ It appears that the buffer will extend roughly 25 feet onto the southwest property corner_ The proposed single family home is located outside the required 100 foot buffer. Jackson July 30; 2008 Page 5 Offsite Wetland Categorization The North Dearing Wetland has been categorized using the revised Washington State Wetlands Rating System for Western Washington (Publication # 04 -06 -025), in accordance with City of Port Townsend Critical Areas Ordinance Chapter 19.05. This system utilizes hydrogeomorphic characteristics to determine the potential and opportunity for a particular wetland to perform water quality, hydrologic and habitat functions. It differentiates wetlands into four categories ranging from Category I systems that typically have high potential and opportunity to perform these functions to Category IV systems that have low potential and opportunity to perform the functions. A rating form that asks a series of questions is used to identify the wetland's position in the landscape (Sloping, Depressional, Riverine, etc.) and its specific characteristics that would indicate it has potential to perform the water quality, hydrologic and habitat functions_ When the wetland has opportunity to perform the functions, it receives a multiplier of 2. The scores are then added up and a category is assigned based on the number of points received as follows: Category I wetlands score 70 points or greater, Category II systems score between 51 -69 points, Category III systems score 30 -50 points and Category IV wetlands score less than 30 points. According to the attached rating form the North Dearing Wetland meets the criteria for a Category II depressional system scoring 57 points. It scores 22 points for water quality because it has untreated road runoff and residential development draining into the wetland and it has three well developed vegetative layers that slow and filter toxins and pollutants from the water so it has both potential and opportunity to improve water quality. It scores 16 points for hydrologic functions because it is a depressional system that has the potential to store excess water and has opportunity because protects neighboring properties from flooding. It receives 19 points for habitat because there is a moderate vegetative diversity and it is connected to other wetlands and priority habitat areas. It receives low points because the buffers are bisected by development, roads and trails and it does not have an undisturbed connection to other habitat areas. There are wetlands roughly 75 feet offsite to the south and west that are separated by a low upland hummock_ This hummock was examined and determined to be non wetland because it lacks hydric soils, wetland vegetation and wetland hydrology. The debris lines are presumed to be from seasonal localized flooding: Although the upland hummock is not wetland it is clear that it is seasonally flooded and provides a surface water conneclapn between the two wetlands and as such both wetlands are consx ere — part of the same wetland unit and they were categorized as a single wetland unit. Jackson July 30, 2008 Page 6 In summary thi Aon- wetland deter ination for was completed for a .22 acre parcel located on the solah side of 31" St et along the Rosecrans Street Easement (Tax Parcel 972600702) in Po wns . It is bordered on the west by the Rosecrans Road easement with single family homes to the north and east with forest and farmland to the south. The property is dominated by Douglas fir and madrone with a moderate to dense shrub layer dominated by ocean spray and salal. The property is determined to contain no wetlands because there are no positive indicators present for any of the three wetland parameters. Wetlands were not identified on the site but two portions of the North Dearing wetlands are within 75 feet of the southwest property corner. Both offsite wetlands were categorized as a single wetland because they have a seasonal connection and hydrologic continuity between them. The wetlands meet the criteria for a Category II depressional wetland_ Category II wetlands require a 100 foot buffer from the wetland edge. It does not appear that any development will be located within the equied buffersa as such there s ou e no ampacts to the wetlands from the construction of the proposed single family home. This report has been prepared for Jackie Jackson. It is important to acknowledge that definition of plant community boundaries is not an exact science. Different agencies and individuals may often disagree on exact boundaries and/or plant community classifications. It is the responsibility of the various resource agencies that regulate development activities in wetlands to make the final determination of wetland boundaries. Therefore, the information presented in this report should be reviewed by the appropriate regulatory agencies prior to detailed site planning and/or construction activities.

YES = Category I NO go to SC 1.2 SC 1.2 Is the wetland unit at least 1 acre in size and meets at least two of the following three conditions? YES = Category I NO = Category II Cat. I The wetland is relatively undisturbed (has no diking, ditching, filling, Cat. II cultivation, grazing, and has less than 10% cover of non- native plant species. If the non- native Spartina spp. are the only species that cover more than 10% of the wetland, then the wetland should be given a dual Dual rating (1/11). The area of Spartina would be rated a Category II while the rating relatively undisturbed upper marsh with native species would be a Category I. Do not, however, exclude the area of Spartina in IIII determining the size threshold of I acre. At least 3/4 of the landward edge of the .wetland has a 100 ft buffer of shrub, forest, or un- grazed or un -mowed grassland. The wetland has at least 2 of the following features. tidal channels, depressions with open water, or contiguous freshwater wetlands.

" Natural Heritage wetlands have been identified by the Washington Natural Heritage Program/DNR as either high quality undisturbed wetlands or wetlands that support state Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive plant species. SC 2.1 Is the wetland unit being rated in a Section/Township/Range that contains a Natural Heritage wetland? (this question is used to screen out most sites before you need to contact WNHP/DNR) S/T/R information from Appendix D _ or accessed from WNHP/DNR web site YES — contact WNHP/DNR (see p. 79) and go to SC 2.2 NO SC 2.2 Has DNR identified the wetland as a high quality undisturbed wetland or as or as a site with state threatened or endangered plant species? YES = Category I NO Y not a Heritage Wetland SC 3.0 Bogs (seep. 87) Does the wetland unit (or any part of the unit) meet both the criteria for soils and vegetation in bogs? Use the key below to identify if the wetland is a bog. Ifyou answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland based on itsfunctions I. Does. the unit have organic soil horizons (i.e. layers of organic soil), either pests or mucks, that compose 16 inches or more of the first 32 inches of the soil profile? (See Appendix B for a field key to identify organic soils)? Yes - go to Q_ 3 No -go to Q_ 2 2. Does the unit have organic soils, either peats or mucks that are less than 16 inches deep over bedrock, or an impermeable hardpan such as clay or volcanic ash, or that are floating on a lake or pond? Yes - go to Q. 3 No - Is not a bog for purpose of rating 3. Does the unit have more than 70% cover of mosses at ground level, AND other plants, ifpresent, consist of the "bog" species listed in Table 3 as a significant component of the vegetation (more than 30% of the total shrub and herbaceous cover consists of species in Table 3)? Yes — Is a bog for purpose of rating No - go to Q. 4 NOTE: If you are uncertain about the extent of mosses in the understory you may substitute that criterion by measuring the pH of the water thatseepsintoaholedugatIeast16" .deep. If the pH is less than 5.0 and the bog" plant species in Table 3 are present, the wetland is a bog. Is the unit forested (> 30% cover) with sitka spruce, subalpine fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, Englemann's spruce, or western white pine, WITH any of the species (or combination of species) on the bog species plant list in Table 3 as a significant component of the ground cover (> 30% coverage of the total shrublherbaeeous cover)? 2.

Ifyou answer yes you will still need to rate the wetland based on its functions. Old- growth forests: (west of Cascade crest) Stands of at least two tree species, forming a multi - layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at least 8 trees/acre (20 trees/hectare) that are at least 200 years of age OR have a diameter at breast height (dbh) of 32 inches (81 cm) or more_ NOTE: The criterion for dbh is based on measurements for upland forests. Two - hundred year old trees in wetlands will often have a smaller dbh because their growth rates are often slower. The DFW criterion is and "OR" so old - growth forests do not necessarily have to have trees of this diameter. Mature forests: (west of the Cascade Crest) Stands where the largest trees are 80 – 200 years old OR have average diameters (dbh) exceeding 21 inches 53cm); crown cover may be less that 100 %; decay, decadence, numbers of snags, and quantity of large downed material is generally less than that found in old-growth- YES = Category I NO Xnot a forested wetland with special characteristics Cat.
