13 Exhibit 1 I. Highway 2 to South End of Simpson Site 1. Public Property Summary of Restoration Opportunities/Goal a. Simpson site - Tidal Restoration (Salmon Overlay Restoration Site 11). Restoration action would be to maximize tidal range in the Category 1 wetland, with a potential increase of 2,591 IVA acre-points. b. Simpson Site - Stream, Wetland, and Buffer Enhancement. Bigelow Creek, riparian wetlands, and other wetlands occur on this site. A Habitat Enhancement Plan will be completed to determine the feasibility of restoration opportunities on the site, and the increase in functions that can be obtained. Description of Individual Restoration/Goals a. Simpson Site - (Salmon Overlay Restoration Site 11). (1) Description of Proposal, Schedule, and Costs/Funding Sources: The City has Settlement Agreements with the Tulalip Tribes (dated February 19, 2004) and Pilchuck Audubon Society and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (dated April 21, 2004). These agreements provide the strategy, timing and approach to funding restoration activities in this area. Copies of these documents are available from the Planning and Community Development Department upon request. (2) Mechanisms to Insure Implementation and to Measure Effectiveness: See the Final Agreement between the Tulalip Tribes of Washington and the City of Everett, February 19, 2004, and the Final Agreement with Pilchuck Audubon Society and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility dated April 21, 2004. 2. Private Property Summary of Restoration Opportunities: a. Buffer restoration. This area has historically been used for heavy industry, and little buffer exists along the river. As properties redevelop, buffers will be enhanced consistent with SMP requirements summarized in Section C. This should result in a net increase in a number of functions. 146 Section 3 General Goals, Objectives,Policies and Regulations Page 3-76
