Wetland Delineation Report June, 2015 <br /> South Everett Forest Preserve ©2015 Perteet Inc. <br /> Executive Summary <br /> PROJECT NAME: South Everett Forest Preserve (Previously named "Bruskrud Site") Wetland <br /> Delineation <br /> LOCATION: The South Everett Forest Preserve is located northwest of Silver Lake in Everett, <br /> Snohomish County, Washington. This 3.57-acre property is located between 1-5 to the east and 77th <br /> Avenue SE to the west. The project site is an undeveloped lot belonging to the City of Everett. The <br /> Public Land Survey System location of the project area is Section 19, Township 28N, Range 05E, W.M. <br /> The Snohomish County parcel identification number is 28051900400900. <br /> CLIENT: City of Everett Parks and Recreation Department <br /> PERTEET STAFF:Jason Walker, PLA, PWS, Environmental Manager; Doug Gresham, PWS, wetland <br /> scientist <br /> FIELD SURVEY: A wetland delineation and GPS mapping was performed by Perteet staff on February <br /> 25, 2014. <br /> DETERMINATION: One stream (Silver Lake Creek) and one wetland (The wetland) was identified. <br /> The wetland is part of a larger riverine wetland that extends off-site to the north. Silver Lake Creek <br /> flows through the wetland in a north-to-south direction. It flows off-site to the south via a culvert <br /> beneath a driveway to the Snohomish County District 1 Public Utility Facility. <br /> HYDROLOGY: Wetland hydrology is supported by Silver Lake Creek, a high groundwater table, and <br /> direct precipitation. <br /> SOILS: Soils mapped by the NRCS are Alderwood Urban land complex on 2-8% slopes. <br /> VEGETATION: The South Everett Forest Preserve is predominantly covered with forested vegetation <br /> (e.g. red alder, Douglas fir, western hemlock, western red cedar, etc.). The eastern fringe of property <br /> abuts the Interurban Trail so periodic maintenance clearing has created an invasive shrub thicket <br /> dominated by Himalayan blackberry. Vegetation in the wetland is dominated by red alder, Pacific <br /> willow, hardhack, and salmonberry. <br /> PROPOSED PROJECT: The Everett Parks and Recreation Department proposes to construct <br /> pedestrian trails and park amenities on the subject property. <br /> Page iii <br />
