• WDFW PHS does not have any features depicted on or near the subject property. • WDFW SalmonScape displays a stream west of the property, but does not display it as habitat for salmonid species. • The DNR-FPAMT displays a stream feature west of the property. This stream segment is displayed as having fish presence by DNR. • The City of Everett Critical Areas Map depicts a tributary of Swamp Creek west of the subject property. This feature is depicted as a Type F stream. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS Wetland conditions were evaluated and delineated using routine methodology described in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual(Final Report;January 1987), except where superseded by the 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0, referred to as 2010 Regional Supplement). Our findings are consistent with these manuals. The following criteria descriptions were used in the wetland boundary determination: 1.) Examination of the site for hydrophytic vegetation (species present and percent cover); 2.) Examination of the site for hydric soils; 3.)Determining the presence of wetland hydrology Stream conditions were evaluated and delineated using the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) methodology, as described in the Washington State Department of Ecology document Determining the Ordinary High Water Mark on Streams in Washington State (Second Review Draft) (Olson and Stockdale 2010). BOUNDARY DETERMINATION FINDINGS/RESULTS No wetlands or streams were observed on the subject property. A tributary of Swamp Creek is located approximately 60 feet west of the subject property. Though this stream was dry during WRI's July 2017 site visit, it satisfies the criteria of Everett Municipal Code (EMC) 19.37.160 to be considered a Type-F Stream and is depicted as such in several publicly accessible information sources. In the City of Everett, when the buffer of a Type F stream contains intact native vegetation, the standard buffer is 100 feet (EMC 19.37.170 (A) 3). The area between the off-site stream and the subject property includes native vegetation with an overstory of black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera, FAC) and red alder (Alnus rubra, FAC), as well as a City of Everett stormwater pond vegetated with herbaceous and emergent vegetation. The stream is separated from the site by a solid board fence, as well as native vegetation on the property. Wetland Resources,Inc. 2 / Gray—19th P1 W August 18,2017 WRI#17212
