3.0 REGULATORY SETTING 3.1 CITY OF EVERETT WETLAND AND STREAM CLASSIFICATIONS Pursuant to EMC 19.37.090(C),wetlands are classified according to the Department of Ecology's (DOE)Washington State Wedand Rating System for Western Washington: 2014 Update (Hruby 2014), or as revised. As described in EMC 19.37.160(A), classification of streams shall be established in accordance with the water typing rules contained in WAC 222-16-030. Protective buffers are assigned to wetlands and streams based upon these classifications, as provided in EMC 19.37.110(A) and 19.37.170(A)(3), respectively. The wetlands within the vicinity of the property are classified as follows: Wetland A—Category III:Wetland A is classified as a Category III depressional wetland with a total score of 19 points and habitat score of 6 points. Wetland A receives standard buffer of 130 feet. Silver Lake Creek—Type F: Silver Lake Creek is a Type F stream. The buffer of Silver Lake Creek does not feature intact native vegetation for 100 feet from the stream boundary and therefore the stream receives a standard buffer of 150 feet. Silver Lake—Type S: Silver Lake is a 99.3-acre lake and a Type S water. Silver Lake is regulated by the City of Everett SMP and does not have a listed buffer. The project area is located within 200 feet of the lakeshore and therefore falls within shoreline jurisdiction. 3.2 ADDITIONAL REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION Table 37.1 of the Everett Municipal Code lists required documentation when proposing development in or near protected critical areas.The project area is located within 200 feet of Silver Lake and therefore must comply with the City of Everett SMP. A shoreline narrative is provided below in Section 4 of this report. The project is also sited within 200 feet of Silver Lake Creek, a Type F water, and therefore requires a Biological Assessment for federally listed threatened or endangered species. Additionally, a Habitat Assessment will be provided to discuss potential impacts on regulated threatened or endangered species. The Biological Assessment and Habitat Assessment have been provided in Section 5 of this report. 3.3 SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS FEMA has delineated special flood hazard areas and risk zones, which are identified on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS). Snohomish County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which requires the adoption of floodplain management ordinances to reduce flood damage. No disturbance has or is proposed to occur within a special flood hazard area; therefore, a Flood Hazard Permit is not required.
