i Introduction The Jay Group, LLC was contracted to perform a wetland deteimination/ delineation on an — one acre parcei, and ma��k the bound2ries of any wetlands found on site. 'fhe property is located adjacent to I �oily Drive, between Rosewood Avenue and 107�h Sireet SW, in the City of Everett, Snohomish County, Washington (Section 23, TownshiEi 28N, Range 4E). The parcel is currently undev�loped, with em�rgent, scrub/shrub and forest vegetation present on the site. Swamp Creek is located between 100 and 150 feet from the southwest boundary �f the subject parcel. �n-site field determination and wetlanc; delineation was performed on Februay 27, 2001. One wetland was found on-site. The east buffer of the on-site wetland was recently impacted by clearing/grading. 4pproximately 2,800-SF of wetiand buffer was cleared. City of Everett Biologist Liz ��reenhagen {per an on-site meeting 7/11/0�) requested that a planting plan and monitoring plan be prepared with regard to the restoration of the impacted wetland buffer area. This repert outlines the planting and monitoring pian. Vegetatiion Composition (pre-impact) The vegetation of the eastern portion of the parcel (prior to clearing) consisted primarily of scrub/shrub and forested plant community types. The upland areas were dominated � in the tree layer by Red alder (Alnus rubra) and D�uglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and Western hemlock (1'suga heterophylla) and Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) were scattered. The shrub layer was dominated by Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Oregon grape (Mahonia nervosa), Salal (Gaultheria shallon), and Vine maple (Acer circinatum), with scattered Red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium), Red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor). Sword fern (Polystichum munitum) and Trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus) dominated the herb layer. Plant Installaiion Timing Planting of the impacted wetland huffer (less than 3,OOC-SF in size) will take place in mid-fall to eariy spring to increa�� plant survival. This is generally the rainy season and during a normal year very little irrigation would be rEquired. Please see the Heather Homes Holiy Drive Wetland Buffer Planting Plan for species, quantity, locaiion, and size of buffer restoration plantings. Performance Standards 1. Invasive, exotic and undesirable species shall be represented by less than 1G% coverage in the wetland buf`er planting area. 2. Wetland buffer planting area acceptable cover standards shali be: 1 0��
