SITE DESCRIPTION On November 18, 2021 Acre Environmental Consulting, LLC visited the approximate 2.43-acre property located at 2924 100th Street SE in the City of Everett, Washington. The site is further located as a portion of Section 20, Township 28N, Range 05E, W.M. The parcel number for this property is 28052000101600. This purpose of this site visit was to assess regulated critical areas on and adjacent to the subject site and to assess existing site conditions to aid in preparing a mitigation plan for unauthorized critical areas impacts which occurred on the property. Access to this site is from the north via 100th Street SE which extends along the northern border of the property. A single family-home and with associated parking and yard areas are located in the northeastern corner of this site. The remainder of this property is forested and contains a Type Ns stream that drains south through the center of the site. In the City of Everett, streams with buffers that are sparsely vegetated, un-vegetated, or are vegetated with invasive species receive larger buffers than are provided with buffers that are comprised of a relatively intact native vegetative community. In this case, the applicant is proposing to restore / enhance portions of the buffer with native trees and shrubs which will provide a relatively intact native plant community. In the City of Everett, Type Ns streams with buffers that contain a relatively intact native plant community receive a standard buffer of 50 feet. This report was prepared by Louis Emenhiser who also conducted the field-work. Louis is a certified Professional Wetland Scientist who holds a Masters Degree in Soil Science with a minor in botany, and has over twenty years of professional experience. PROJECT DESCRIPTION On November 13, 2020 the City of Everett issued the owners of this property a Notice of Violation (CE20-0055) for violations of EMC 19.37.040 (D) & (E) resultant from driving in the stream buffer and using this area for parking vehicles and storage. Based on our site assessment, no impacts to the stream occurred. However, it appears that a total of 3,040 square feet of buffer was impacted through the aforementioned activities. At the time of our November 18, 2021 site visit, the land disturbing activities have ceased and vegetation in the disturbed area has regenerated to invasive Himalayan blackberry (Rubus ormeniacus, Fac) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea, FacW) under a canopy of black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera, Fac). The cottonwood are healthy and do not appear to have been impacted. As mitigation for the unauthorized impacts to 3,040 square feet of stream buffer on the subject site, the applicant is proposing to restore the disturbed area to a better than existing condition by removing invasive species and planting native trees and shrubs.
