2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes to construct an addition to the existing church building. An existing driveway and shed will be removed and an additional 1,965 square feet of building area will provide classroom space for the church. An ADA ramp will be constructed to provide access to the new building space. 3.0 REVIEW OF EXISTING INFORMATION Prior to conducting the site investigation, public resources were reviewed to gather background information on the subject property and the surrounding area in regards to critical areas. The following information was examined: • United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory: The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) does not show any wetlands on or in near proximity to the subject site. • USDA/Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey: The Web Soil Survey maps the soils on site as Alderwood-Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes. This soil includes a small component of Norma soils,which is a hydric soil type. • WDFW Priority Habitat and Species (PHS) Interactive Map: The PHS map shows two Biodiversity Area/Corridors — one approximately 450 feet east and one approximately 700 feet west of the subject site. These are associated with the riparian corridors of Pigeon Creek and Pigeon Creek#2. • WDNR Forest Practices Application Mapping Tool (FPAMT): The FPAMT map shows Pigeon Creek to the east and Pigeon Creek#2 to the west of the site. • Snohomish County SnoScape Interactive map: The SnoScape map shows steep slopes on the subject site and an unclassified stream just west of the subject property. • WDFW SalmonScape: SalmonScape maps Pigeon Creek and Pigeon Creek #2 as salmonid-bearing streams. • City of Everett Critical Areas Map 1: The City of Everett Critical Areas Map 1 shows the off-site stream as a Type Ns stream and the on-site wetland. 4.0 METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS 4.1 METHODS Wetland conditions are evaluated using routine methodology described in the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0), (referred as 2010 Regional Supplement). The methodology in the 2010 Regional Supplement coincides with the methodology described in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual(Washington State Department of Ecology Publication #96-94, March 1997). In general, wetland delineation consisted of two tasks: (1) assessing vegetation, soil, View Ridge Community Church 2 Critical Area Report and Buffer WRI#16092 Averaging/Enhancement Plan November 21, 2016
