STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS TO CONDUCT THIS CRITICAL AREAS EVALUATION City of Everett Municipal Code section 19.37.073.A.1 requires Critical Areas reports to be prepared by a qualified professional as defined per the EMC. Therefore, the following provides a brief overview of my experience and credentials to conduct the detailed evaluations on the subject property. I am the Founder, Owner, and Principal Wetland and Wildlife Ecologist of Wetlands & Wildlife, Inc. I attended the University of Montana where I graduated cum laude with a degree in Wildlife Biology. As of 2020, I have 19 years of direct experience as a professional Biologist/Ecologist in western Washington and 23 years of overall experience completing natural resource assessments among many different ecosystems across the western United States. I have worked as a professional Biologist/Ecologist for federal, state, and county environmental agencies, as well as several private environmental consulting firms with specialties in wetlands, streams, rivers, lakes, and wildlife habitat. In my 23 years of experience, I have specialized in review of proposed land use and building development permit applications as they pertain to Critical Areas (wetlands, rivers, streams, lakes, and habitats of protected fish and wildlife species). Much of that experience came as a Senior Reviewing Ecologist for King County DDES and a Regulatory Biologist for Snohomish County PDS. I am listed on several Preferred/Qualified Consultant Rosters throughout western Washington. I am highly experienced with the required U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Washington State wetland delineation methods. In addition to the wetland delineation certification, I am trained by the Washington Department of Ecology and have 15 years of experience in the use of the required Wetland Rating Form for western Washington (since its inception). I am trained by the Washington Department of Ecology to determine Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) locations for rivers, streams, and lakes. In addition to my expertise related to wetlands and streams, I have many years of experience conducting surveys of special-status Wetlands& Wildlife, Inc.
