The City of Everett does not identify any wetlands as occurring on the site.The nearest City of Everett-identified wetland is located southeast of the Project area, on the east side of the Marshland Canal(City of Everett 2020).A site visit was conducted on April 9, 2019, and no wetland features were observed within the Project area, although a formal wetland delineation was not completed. Note that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory identifies four potential wetlands that may be present on the Project site,totaling approximately 6 acres(USFWS 2020). Three of these potential wetlands overlap the existing drainage ditches on the property.Wetland features in these areas were not present as confirmed by the April 9,2019 site visit. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to(within 200 feet)the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. The Project previously rerouted several drainage ditches surrounding the property to accommodate blueberry production.This work included filling an existing drainage ditch that ran through the middle of the property and rerouting it around the property through existing and newly excavated drainage ditches that flow to the Marshland Canal. The proposed restoration activitieswill occurwithin and adjacent to the affected drainage ditches as well as in the location of a drainage ditch that was previously filled in. There are no known wetlands documented within or adjacent to the study area. Therefore, no impacts to wetlands are anticipated from the Project. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. Completed Activities The Project previously excavated approximately 1,040 cy at Ditch 1, 500 cy at Ditch 3, and 140 cy at Ditch 4,for a total of approximately 1,680 cy.This material was used to partially fill Ditch 2.An additional 600 cy of on-site material was used to fill Ditch 2.Only on-site material was used to support grading activities;no material was imported to or exported from the property. Proposed Activities The Project includes relocating the previously modified section of the UNT from its current location along the shared property boundary between the Tonnes and Golden Eagle Farms properties. The existing UNT along the shared boundary will be backfilled and compacted as shown in the SEPA plan set included as Attachment 1. Fill and embankment leveling of the existing UNT will include 4 cy of excavation and 3,326 cy of fill. The UNT will be rerouted north approximately 840feet through the Golden Eagle Farms property to the northern property boundary,where it will join an existing drainage ditch that flows east for approximately 1,200 feet before discharging to the Marshland Drainage Canal.The proposed UNT alignment will include 5,300 cy of excavation and 12 cy of fill.A 25-foot stream buffer will be established along each side of the new alignment of the UNT in accordance with City of Everett requirements and as shown in the SEPA plan set(Attachment 1).The bufferwill be seeded with a native seed mix and planted with native trees and shrubs. Ditch 3 is located along the shared property boundary running north to south on the east side of the Tonnes property.Approximately 200 feet of Ditch 3 will be backfilled and 6
