SITE DESCRIPTION The investigation site is undeveloped and forested with native species. Vegetation includes big -leaf maple (Ater macropi gllum), western red cedar (Thuja plicata), red alder (Alms ruhra), vine maple (Ater circinatum), red elderberry (Samhucus racemosa), osobcrry (Oemleria ceracifoamis), salmonbcrry (Rubes S)ectahihs), English ivy (Hedera helix), sword fern (Poly.stichum mmitum), and ladv fern (Athyazum filix- femina). Wetland and 0HW1\1 boundaries were estimated using best professional judgment and are based on visual observation from the edge of legal access, aerial photo interpretation, and GIS analysis. One wetland (Wetland B) and one stream (Stream A) were identified in the investigation area. Wetland B was rated using the Department of Ecology Wetland Rating System for Western Washington 2014 update (per Everett Municipal Code - E1VIG 19.37.090). It is a Category III wetland with a habitat score of 6 and receives a 150-foot standard buffer (EMC 19.37.110). Edgewater Creek is a Type F stream. Per EMC 19.37.170(A)(3), Type F streams with buffer areas consisting of intact native vegetation receive 100-foot protective buffers.

These sources include the following: • USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) NWI depicts a stream flowing through the investigation area that eventually flows to and Estuarine and Marine wetland (Puget Sound) off -site. Another stream is shown off -site, along the northwest investigation boundary. No other wetlands or streams are depicted on the NWI. • City of Everett Map Everett The City of Everett online mapper depicts Edgewater Creek and a large wetland associated with the stream. No other features are shown on or in the vicinity of the investigation area. • WDFW SalmonScapc Salmonscape depicts the same stream (Edgewater Creek) as the NWI mapper and the City of Everett mapper.
