Exhibit B <br />ORDINANCE Exhibit A - Page 51 of 66 <br />5. Naturally occurring ponds under 20 acres and their submerged aquatic beds that provide fish <br />or wildlife habitat; <br />a. Naturally occurring ponds do not include ponds deliberately designed and created <br />from dry sites, such as canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm <br />ponds, temporary construction ponds (of less than three years duration) and landscape <br />amenities. However, naturally occurring ponds may include artificial ponds intentionally <br />created from dry areas in order to mitigate conversion of ponds, if permitted by a <br />regulatory authority. <br />6. Waters of the state; <br />a. Waters of the state include lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, inland waters, underground <br />waters, and all other surface waters and watercourses within the jurisdiction of the <br />state of Washington, as classified in WAC 222-16-030. <br />7. Lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers planted with game fish by a governmental or tribal entity; <br />8. State natural area preserves, natural resource conservation areas, and state wildlife areas. <br />Natural area preserves and natural resource conservation areas are defined, established, and <br />managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. <br />9. Significant biological areas listed by the city. <br />B. Fish and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Areas Mapping. The approximate location and extent of fish <br />and wildlife habitat conservation areas within the city of Everett’s planning area are shown on maps <br />compiled and maintained by the city planning department. These maps shall be used as a general guide <br />only for the assistance of property owners, project applicants, and other interested parties; boundaries <br />are generalized. The actual type, extent and boundaries of fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas <br />shall be determined by a qualified professional according to the definitions and criteria established by <br />this chapter. In the event of any conflict between the habitat location or type shown on the city’s fish <br />and wildlife habitat conservation areas maps and the criteria or standards of this chapter, the criteria <br />and standards resulting from the field investigation shall control. <br />C. Other mapping sources include the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife priority habitat <br />and species maps. <br />D. Streams and waters shall be classified based upon an amended version of the water classification <br />system established under WAC 222-16-030 as follows: <br />1. Type S Water. Those streams and waters, within their bankfull width, as inventoried as <br />“shorelines of the state” under Chapter 90.58 RCW and the rules promulgated pursuant to <br />chapter 90.58 RCW, including periodically inundated areas of associated wetlands. <br />2. Type F Water. Those segments of natural waters including periodically inundated areas of <br />their associated wetlands, not classified as Type S Waters, which have a fish, wildlife, or human <br />use; which in any case contain fish habitat or are described by one of the following seven <br />categories:
