Exhibit B <br />ORDINANCE Exhibit A - Page 20 of 55 <br />3. A geological assessment shall include the following minimum information and analysis: <br />a. An evaluation of any areas on the site or within two hundred feet of the site that are <br />geologically hazardous as set forth in EMC 19.37.080(A), Designation. <br />b. An analysis of the potential impacts of the proposed development activity on any <br />geologically hazardous area. The analysis shall include information regarding any <br />potential geological hazard that could result from the proposed development either on <br />site or off site. For landslide hazard areas, the analysis shall consider the run-out hazard <br />of landslide debris to the proposed development that starts upslope, whether the slope <br />is part of the subject property or starts off site. <br />c. Identification of any mitigation measures required to eliminate potentially significant <br />geological hazards both on the proposed development site and any potentially impacted <br />off-site properties. When hazard mitigation is required, the mitigation plan shall <br />specifically address how the proposed activity maintains or reduces the preexisting level <br />of risk to the site and adjacent properties on a long-term basis. The mitigation plan shall <br />include recommendations regarding any long-term maintenance activities that may be <br />required to mitigate potential hazards. <br />d. The geological assessment shall document the field investigations, published data <br />and references, data and conclusions from past geological assessments or geotechnical <br />investigations of the site, site-specific measurements, tests, investigations, or studies, as <br />well as the methods of data analysis and calculations that support the results, <br />conclusions, and recommendations. <br />e. The geological assessment shall contain a summary of any other information the <br />geologist identifies as relevant to the assessment and mitigation of geological hazards. <br />C. Additional Critical Area Report Content for Wetlands. A critical area report for wetlands shall be <br />prepared by a qualified professional who is a certified professional wetland scientist, a noncertified <br />professional wetland scientist with a minimum of five years of experience in the field of wetland science, <br />including experience preparing wetland and stream reports, or a professional who demonstrates <br />expertise in wetland science, stream ecology, or fish and wildlife biology to the satisfaction of the <br />planning director. <br />1. Wetland shall be rated according to the categories defined by the Washington State <br />Department of Ecology Washington State Rating System for Western Washington 2014 Update, <br />or as revised (Ecology Publication No. 14-06-029). <br />2. Hydrogeomorphic classification; wetland acreage, and Cowardin classification of vegetation <br />communities; and, to the extent possible, hydrologic information such as location and condition <br />of inlet/outlets. Provide acreage estimates, classifications, and ratings based on entire wetland <br />complexes, not only the portion present on the proposed project site. <br />D. Additional Critical Area Report Content for Biological Assessments (BA). Refer to requirements for <br />habitat assessment in subsection E of this section.
