QUALIFICATIONS This report was prepared by Joni Urbanski, Owner, WaterMark Critical Areas, LLC. The company was formed in September 2005. During my 11 years' work experience as an environmental consultant, I have completed hundreds of projects that require assessment of critical areas and mitigation/restoration design for permitting. Most my projects have been in unincorporated Snohomish, Skagit, and Island counties. I have/had also had projects in Whatcom County, and in the following cities: Brier, Stanwood, Gold Bar, Granite Falls, and Marysville. My projects have included wetland assessment of functions and stream typing to determine buffer widths as required by the local jurisdiction,potential impacts, and compensatory mitigation. Mitigation design for stream, wetland and buffer impacts have included but not limited to wetland and buffer enhancement,wetland and buffer creation, stream restoration, use of mitigation banks, and buffer averaging. My work experience includes shoreline assessments and FEMA floodplain habitat biological assessments. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry(Silvics) from the University of Washington. Prior to forming WaterMark Critical Areas, LLC, I worked approximately 3 years for Tetra Tech,an environmental consulting firm. My job was interdisciplinary member on landscape assessments. My field of expertise included risk assessment and mitigation relating to fire hazard,wetland assessment and protection, and noxious weed management. I worked for the USDA Forest Service for more than a decade with emphasis areas in fire management, silviculture, and habitat assessment. I worked as team leader and interdisciplinary member on numerous environmental assessments associated with timber harvest,wildlife habitat enhancement,road construction, and fire risk reduction. DISCLAIMER For this report and the field work, standard practices for the science of wetland assessment were used. The wetland delineation and stream typing represents readily observable conditions during site visits and research of readily available data such as Soils Inventory, City of Everett Critical Areas Maps, Snohomish County GIS data. No attempt to determine concealed conditions was made. While every effort has been made to ensure that the findings in this report are accurate and reliable within limits of the current knowledge of the science, it should not be considered final until it is approved by the local jurisdiction. 11
