I . � , FILE COPY 1EtL'APt?D RESOURCES ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING PROJECT NARRATIVE FOR ROBIN AND LANCE TALLEY- 9307 18TH AVE W, EVERETT, WA (CASE No. CE19-0561) The applicants, Robin and Lance Talley, are responding to a violation citation (Case No. CE19- 0561) issued by the City of Everett regarding the unpermitted removal of a beaver dam and streambank vegetation on their property. Applicable Everett Municipal Code (EMC) violations include violations of EMC 19.37.030(A) and (B), and EMC 19.37.040(B), (D), and (E). A City of Everett REVII Critical Area Application to correct the unpermitted alterations to the stream/wetland area is required. Additionally, a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) application is required due to the in-water work that occurred during beaver dam removal. The City of Everett also requested the applicant to obtain a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA), if required by WDFW. A representative of WDFW, Miles Penk, met with Wetland Resources, Inc. on the subject property on October 3, 2019. WDFW does not accept retroactive HPAs for work that has already occurred, so an HPA for the subject unpermitted dam removal is not required of the applicant. However, if future dam removal is pursued, an HPA would be required. During the meeting, Mr. Penk made suggestions for how to appropriately mitigate for the unpermitted dam removal, which were incorporated into the proposed mitigation plan. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the unpermitted dam removal and associated vegetation impact by restoring vegetation along the impacted segment of stream. This restoration plan is provided within the Critical Area Study and Buffer Restoration Plan for Talky - 18th Ave W, dated 11/06/19, and prepared by Wetland Resources, Inc. (WRI). The restoration plan follows the requirements of EMC 19.37.260 and EMC 19.37.075. 9505 19th Avenue SE, Suite 106, Everett, WA 98208 425.337.3174 www.wetlandresources.com
