result in long-term improvements to the overall level of critical areas functions and values within <br /> the larger City of Mukilteo watershed. <br /> Mitigation Site M2 has not yet been utilized for any compensatory mitigation work in the City of <br /> Mukilteo. In an effort to ensure the success of the proposed and future mitigation, a full site <br /> assessment was performed to identify all the areas of potential mitigation opportunities (See <br /> Attached Figure, Conceptual Mitigation Plan - Mundorf- 8th St). <br /> Table 4. Summary of Mitigation Opportunities <br /> Action Area <br /> Wetland Creation —14,849 square feet <br /> Buffer Enhancement 40,075 square feet <br /> Buffer Enhancement, -2.7 acres <br /> Conifer Under-plantings <br /> In an effort to provide continued access to Japanese Gulch and its broader connections to the <br /> 76th Street Trailhead (immediately west of the Mitigation Site M2), the City of Mukilteo will <br /> require the replacement of any trail connections to be constructed through boardwalks to <br /> minimize disturbance of the existing trail network. Final trail configuration is subject to change, <br /> and the applicant will work with the City and the consulting biologist on exact boardwalk <br /> location prior to construction, and implementation of the mitigation planting plan. <br /> It is recommended that future applicants coordinate with the consulting biologist of the previous <br /> mitigation phases in order to maintain consistency and mitigation function throughout the <br /> process. This will allow for a more complete strategy for implementing future mitigation at the <br /> M2 site, and would help facilitate future applicants who wish to use CAMP. <br /> Table 1.
