ORDINANCE Page 15 of 19 <br />“Stream, Type F” means those streams defined in WAC 122-16-030, Water Typing System, as <br />Type F water. <br />“Stream, Type Np” means those streams defined in WAC 122-16-030, Water Typing System, as <br />Type Np water. <br />“Stream, Type Ns” means those streams defined in WAC 122-16-030, Water Typing System, as <br />Type Ns water. <br />“Stream, Type S” means those streams defined in WAC 122-16-030, Water Typing System, as <br />Type S water. <br />“Swamp” means an area permanently saturated or inundated by water, and occupied <br />predominantly by either a scrub-shrub or forested wetland vegetation community. <br />“Temporal loss” means the time lag between the loss of wetland functions caused by the <br />permitted or unpermitted impacts and the replacement of wetland functions at the <br />compensatory mitigation site the time lag between the loss of aquatic resource functions <br />caused by the permitted or unpermitted impacts and the replacement of aquatic resource <br />functions at the compensatory mitigation site, as defined in the 2008 Federal Mitigation Rule. <br />Higher compensation ratios may be required to compensate for temporal loss. When the <br />compensatory mitigation project is initiated prior to, or concurrent with, the permitted impacts, <br />the permitting agencies may determine that compensation for temporal loss is not necessary, <br />unless the resource has a long development time. <br />“Thermal refugia” means sites within a landscape that are relatively protected from <br />temperature extremes and warming trends. <br />“Unavoidable and necessary impacts” means impacts to regulated critical areas after the <br />applicant proposing to alter a regulated critical area has demonstrated that no reasonable <br />alternative exists for the proposed project. <br />“Unavoidable impacts” mean adverse impacts that remain after all appropriate and practicable <br />avoidance and minimization has been achieved. <br />“Undevelopable area” means: <br />1. Regulated wetlands; <br />2. Geologically hazardous areas which are determined by supporting studies to be unsuitable <br />for development; <br />3. Streams; <br />4. Habitats of primary association; <br />5. Plant associations of infrequent occurrence.
