Gur examination included review of pertinent documents relating to the area and a site inspection restric[ed to the proposed buildiag site in the extreme southwest corner of [he property and an area within 100 feet of the building si[e. Our investigation found insuffi;ient evidence to conclude that a wedand presently ex;sts within the study area. To p;.r�'orm a wefland analysis acceptable to the City of Everett, criteria contained in the 1989 1'ederal Manual for ldentification qnd Detineation ef Jurisdictional Wetlands must be folluwed.

Within the methodology, it is necessary to evaluate the indicators in Ute field to determine satisfaction of each of tlie Uvee parameters. Generally a positive wetland indicator must be found for each of the tluee parameters in order to make a positive wetland deterntination.

IIydrophytic (wetland) plant species are those plants that grow in water or a substrate diat is periodically or permanently sa[urated.

The rating system expresses the tange that plants may occur in wetlands and non-wetlands (uplands) from obligate wetland to obliga[e uplar.,i as outlined: • Obligate Wedand (OBL) - plznts that occur in wetlands grcater than 99 percent o� the time, under natural conditions.
