6" <br />`• IIdTRODUCTION <br />� A development is proposed in the southem porHon of the gravel pit of Hardeson Road <br />I y and Merrill Creek Parkway in Everett. The project site is travers�.i by a small cree�C, Merrill <br />�y and Ring Creek, which has been relocated hom its original channel. As part of the proposed <br />� g development pmject, a stream corridcr restoration project is pro?osed by the landowner. <br />� <br />{a <br />� <br />� <br />kq <br />Ij <br />, 1�� � <br />' i „ <br />cA <br />��. <br />�� � <br />t: <br />ro <br />Ib <br />� <br />1 <br />M <br />The proposed developmei�: project and stream restoration project have been evaluated <br />relative to env'vonmentally sensitive characteristics as uutlined in Section 37 of the Everett <br />Zoning Code. Wilsey & Ham Pacific staff have addressed engineering aspects and Pentec <br />Environmental (Pentec) staff have addressed biologi�:al issues. <br />Flood Hazard <br />With the proposed stream corridor and the existing detention pond, whic5 was designed <br />to include the project site's runoff, no signiiicant �ncrease in flood hazard is anticipated from <br />the proposed projects. <br />Wetlends <br />No weUands are present along the stream course. Riparian vegetation along the channel <br />is dominatEd by several plant types including the following: willow, cottonwood, blackberry, <br />scotts broom, reed canary, and other grasses (Figure 1). <br />Slope Stabllity, �rosfon and Landslide Hazard <br />The strnam is not adjacent to significant slopes, and slope stability and landslide hazards <br />are not considered issues. <br />Selsmic Hazards <br />No seismic hazards are known to exist on the site relative t� � the stmam corridor. The <br />development will have no significant impact on seismic hazards relative to the stream. <br />1 <br />
