Wetlands present within the project area of potential impact will be flagged during the delineation and subsequently surveyed to incorporate in the project base map. A field investigation of the Snohomish River and any nearby streams/ditches will be conducted to assess existing conditions within the project area,and upstream and downstream sufficiently to establish baseline conditions.
