October 10, 1995
9)q
Legal DescriPtion:OOl-094003 Tax g (E 300' N. of Hwy, Ls Tax 28)
3.01 acres, Sims WaY,City Of Port Townsend Washington '
TNTRODI]CTTON
On a preliminary walk-through of Wolcott property October 3' and
Octoblr G, 1995 I did not see any areas that qualify as
jurisdictional wetlands. The site consists mostly of dry uplands
ivnicft rise east of Howard street and north of the Hilltop Tavern'
Drainage ditches and perk holes were found on the site.
WETI,ANDS
Although there were no regulated wetLands found, wetland
vegetaiion exists in a drainage ditch on the south eastern edge
of the 3 acres. In patches hydrophytic vegetatign wa-s 'identified
throughout the proplrty but ias consistently under -the 519 of
dominant cover requit"O to indicate the presence of a wetland'
The Wolcott property and the adjacent wetland do not appear on
National Wetland Inventory Uaps, or City of Port Townsend Wetland
Maps.. ,Jefferson county soil slrvey classifies the soil as clallam
Crivelly Sandy Loam urilicn is not on thd Hydric Soil List of
Jefferson County.
ADJACENT WETI"ANDS
South of the Wolcott property there is a small, isolated class IV
wetland which catches drainage from both the Hilltop Tavern
parking lot and the Wolcott property. Ca|tails and canary reed,grur" iere the main vegetatibn type but sedges, splrea and
Pacific WlLlow were also observed-. The cattail wetland is well
under the 10,000 square feet required to qualify as a regulated
or jurisdictional wetland by the Environmentally Sensitive Areas
ordinance (city of port Towisend LL/L6/92) . This wetland was
4ryt which is to be expected this time of year'
