5.4.2 Post-Restoration Functions and Values <br /> The proposed restoration plantings and removal of invasives and debris material will restore <br /> functions of disturbed portions of the wetland and buffer to a state equal or superior than pre- <br /> clearing. Over time, areas that were formerly cleared and graded will progress to a dense scrub- <br /> shrub and forested condition, recreating structurally diverse areas that will provide higher values <br /> for slowing surface flows,decreasing erosion potential,performing water quality improvement,and <br /> providing higher quality wildlife habitat. The restoration of trees and shrubs in areas that are <br /> currently bare will increase the opportunity for foraging, thermal cover, nesting, or hiding for <br /> wildlife that historically utilized the site. Overall, the proposed restoration measures are expected <br /> to lift the functions and values currently provided by the on-site wetland and buffer. <br /> 5.5 WETLAND AND BUFFER RESTORATION PLANTINGS <br /> Plant quantities and spacings have been adjusted to accommodate site conditions for areas of <br /> existing native vegetation remaining and/or emerging. The following planting plans are expected <br /> to restore the impacted wetland and buffer areas to equal or superior functions than pre- <br /> disturbance conditions. <br /> 5.5.1 WETLAND RESTORATION AREA A PLANTINGS (11,204 SQUARE FEET) <br /> Common Name Latin Name Size Spacing Quantity <br /> Western red cedar Thuja plicata 1 gallon 10, 25 <br /> Sitka spruce Picea sitchensis 1 gallon 10, 25 <br /> Red alder Alnus rubra 1 gallon 10, 25 <br /> Pacific willow Salix lasiandra 1 gallon 53 50 <br /> Sitka willow Salix sitchensis 1 gallon 53 50 <br /> Vine maple Acer circinatum 1 gallon 53 50 <br /> Salmonberry Rubus spectabilis 1 gallon 53 50 <br /> Twinberry Lonicera inaolucrate 1 gallon 5 50 <br /> Red-osier Dogwood Cornus sericea 1 gallon 53 50 <br /> 5.5.2 BUFFER RESTORATION AREA B1 PLANTINGS (10,667 SQUARE FEET) <br /> Common Name Latin Name Size SjRacin Quantity <br /> Douglas fir Pseudotsuga menziesii 1 gallon 10, 18 <br /> Western hemlock Tsuga heterophylla 1 gallon 10, 18 <br /> Western red cedar Thuja plicata 1 gallon 10 18 <br /> Big-leaf maple Acer macrophyllum 1 gallon 10, 18 <br /> Nootka rose Rosa nutkana 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> Osoberry Oemleria cerasiformis 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> Snowberry Symphoricarpos albus 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> Thimbleberry Rubus para Porus 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> Salmonberry Rubus spectabilis 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> Salal Gaultheria Shallon 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> Sword fern Polystichum munitum 1 gallon 53 40 <br /> 2127100th Street SE 12 WRI#23188 <br /> Critical Area Study and Mitigation Plan October 9, 2023 <br />
