Go to First Page <br />Wetland name or number A <br />SLOPE WETLANDS <br />Hydrologic Functions - Indicators that the site functions to reduce flooding and stream erosion <br />S 4.0. Does the site have the potential to reduce flooding and stream erosion? <br />S 4.1. Characteristics of plants that reduce the velocity of surface flows during storms: Choose the points appropriate <br />for the description that best fits conditions in the wetland. Stems of plants should be thick enough (usually> 1/8 <br />in), or dense enough, to remain erect during surface flows. <br />0 <br />❑Dense, uncut, rigid plants cover > 90% of the area of the wetland points = 1 <br />❑All other conditions points = 0 <br />Rating of Site Potential If score is:_1 = M ✓ 0 = L <br />Record the rating on the first page <br />S 5.0. Does the landscape have the potential to support the hydrologic functions of the site? <br />S 5.1. Is more than 25% of the area within 150 ft upslope of wetland in land uses or cover that generate excess <br />1 <br />surface runoff? Yes = 1 No = 0 <br />Rating of Landscape Potential If score is: ✓ 1 = M _0 = L <br />Record the rating on the first page <br />S 6.0. Are the hydrologic functions provided by the site valuable to society? <br />S 6.1. Distance to the nearest areas downstream that have flooding problems: <br />❑The sub -basin immediately down -gradient of site has flooding problems that result in damage to human or <br />natural resources (e.g., houses or salmon redds) points = 2 <br />0 <br />®Surface flooding problems are in a sub -basin farther down -gradient points = 1 <br />No flooding problems anywhere downstream points = 0 <br />S 6.2. Has the site been identified as important for flood storage or flood conveyance in a regional flood control Ian? <br />0 <br />Yes=2 No=O <br />Total for S 6 Add the points in the boxes above <br />0 <br />Rating of Value If score is:-2-4 = H _1 = M ✓ 0 = L <br />NOTES and FIELD OBSERVATIONS: <br />Record the rating on the first page <br />Wetland Rating System for Western WA: 2014 Update 12 <br />Rating Form - Effective January 1, 2015 <br />
