Re: Wetland Reconnaissance for Basin 11 Area
Dear Sarn:
This report supersedes all previously issued documents by Polaris depicting wetland boundaries
for this contract. Please discard all of them.
This wetland work was requested by the City of Port Townsend to determine if jurisdictional
wetlands were present within the study area. The study area consisted of seven previously
inventoried wetlands bounded on the east by Thomas Street, on the north by 20h Street, on the
west by Shasta Street, and the south by 1Ofr Street. Areas that were excluded from study at the
request of the land owners were:
1) Columbia Park, Blocks 3, 5, and 6, owned by Charles Gunstone,2) Phillips Addition, Block 17, Lots 3, 5-9, 11, and 12, owned by Bill Eldridge,
"ffJtfL(^v>a'l dkkkr ffil-
3) Eisenbeis Addition, Block G, Lots 1-8, owned by Bill
Misinterpretation of the uired much effort of clarify the intent of this work.
To summarize the Szatlocky of Polaris on July 7, 1997
The wetland boundaries shown on theduring my a
accompanyng map on a limited num of observations, with connecting lines
conforming to available topographic maps. The accuracy of this boundary is no better than the
topographic map upon which it is based. This work is an intermittent step taken to decide whether
a fullwetland delineation is justified.
Previous works did not document hydrology, soils and vegetation to prove existence of wetlands.
This was the primary purpose of this contract: to positively identify the existence of the previously
inventoried wetlands.
The method employed forthis study was an abbreviation of the routine method described in the
March 1997 Washington State Wetlands ldentification and Delineation Manual, which conforms to
the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Technical Manual. Office work consisted of examining all
previous known reports, wetland inventories and maps. Seven wetlands had been inventoried
within the study area by others and were the targets of this investigation. Field work commenced
on April 2 and was finalized on May 8, 1997. Personnel responsible for the reconnaissance were
John Fleming of Polaris, and Dixie Llewellin of Olympic Wetland Resources.

The timing of the field work was at the beginning of the growing season. This is the best time to
directly observe wetland hydrology instead of using indicators to infer its presence. The most effort
was given along the west side of Howard Street to locate the eastern edge of wetlands with
inventory identifications of WL 11-1, WL 11-2, and WL 1 1-3. Every 100 feet from 15n Street north
to 20h Street, a measurement was taken from Howard Street west to the first encounter of
inundation. Pink plastic ribbon was hung on vegetation where this point was observed. The
enclosed map shows the points of observation. The boundary of wetland hydrology extends
beyond this point to a gain in elevation of 1 foot. This is where the boundary was estimated for the
mapping along the west side of Horryard Street.
The source of hydrology appeared to be from stormwaterfrom the uplands to the west of Rainier
Street. The direction of flow through the wetland was observed to be to the south-southeast. lt
was seen flowing over and along Howard Streetfrom 100 feet north of the 16h Street intersection
down to within 30 feet north of Discovery Road. Blocks 5 and 6 of the Columbia Addition were
observed to have hydrophytic vegetation and wetland hydrology from a distance. The boundary
through this area was estimated using perimeter observations, and existing contours from the
base topographic map.
The west side of this drainage corridor was observed at less frequent intervals as shown on the
map, again by the solid dots which denote observation points. No discontinuity in the wetland was
observed from 20fr Street south to Discovery Road. Although a road bed was constructed without
benefit of a culvert near the 12fr Street intersection with Rainier Street, there was hydraulic
continuity over the road, connecting the wetland found on the west to the one on the east.
Observation points west of Rainier Street depict areas of significant inundation
The wetland appears to extend north beyond the basin limits. North of 20h Street, plastic flagging
hung by others along an inundated area suggests prior documentation of its extent. A lot that had
placed flll into an inundated area south of 20h Street west of Rainier Street was observed.
The construction of Discovery Road did not disturb the topography much beyond the road bed.
This allows the observer to visualize a definite historic flow pattern through Lots 2, 3, 4, and 8 of
Block 17 which drained to WL 11-5. Practitioners investigating this area, which was excluded from
our study at the owne/s request, should look near Lot 8 for evidence in the soil of fill placement.
The boundary line through this area was estimated based on historicalflow patterns. A deep soil
test pit is needed to confirm or refute this approximation. Discovery Road acts as an
impoundrnent, increasing the amount of stormwater retained on the northwest side, and
decreasing the amount passing through to the southeast. One shallow culvert was observed near
the 13b Street intersection. lts discharge was confined to a ditch routed around the northeast
corner of Lot 12, Block 17 of Phillips Addition, thereby drying up Lot 12. A drainage problem was
observed on Lot 7 of Block 16 and the 12h Street right of way to the south. This area shows
hydrophytic vegetation. There is a culvert under Howard Street intending to drain the area,
however the inlet is blocked with ditch spoils.
McPherson Street road fill divided WL 11-5 from WL 11-6 but should be viewed as one contiguous
wetland. The outlet to this whole drainage system is under Thomas Street road fill to a ditch along
12s Street that drains east. The wetland boundary in these areas were estimated from field
measurernents and fitting to existing contours on the base map.
Basin 11 Area Wetland Reconnaissance, August 5, 1997, page 2
There is a topographic divide isolating WL 11-7 from the wetland to the west. lt historically drained
south into a closed depression now used as a garden in the area of Block 13 of Phillips Addition
and 13h Street east of Eddy Street, prior to construction of Discovery Road.
Enclosed are nine data point forms documenting five plant communities within wetlands. Their
positions were selected to represent the plant communities found within the inventoried wetlands.
One data point was used to characterize WL 11-1 and WL 11-2 because there was no observable
difference in the plant communities. No data point was established for WL 11-7. lt is being
landscaped on the east, north, and west sides by the current owner. The south side is left in
native rose bushes to Discovery Road.
The wetlands were rated using the Washington State Department of Ecology 1991 rating forms
