Note: If an endangered plant nr wildlife species is found on a site prior to or during <br />development, the developer must comply with all applicable lederal, state, and local reg�zlations, <br />including preparation of habitat ma�iageinent plans. (The Sul�area Plaz� preserves priority <br />habitats as defined by the Department of Fish and Wildlife - urban n,ttur.�l open space, riparian <br />corridors, and wetlands.) <br />4.3 Mitigation Measures <br />4.3.1 General Mitigation Measures <br />The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be followed for all construction <br />work through and immediately adjacent to enviroiunentally sensitive azeas and their buffers, <br />unless othenvise required by a permit issued by a federal or state agency. <br />•Work should be done in the dry season whenever possible (June 15 to September 15). <br />• The width of the corridor through the wetland or stream should be minimized. <br />Construction staging areas must be located outside of environmentally sensitive areas and <br />their buffers, unless determined by the Planning Director to be infeasible. Streams, <br />wetlands, buffers, staging azeas and construction limits shall be clearly shown on <br />construction plans. Construction limits shall be clearly mazked in the field with orante <br />construction fencing. <br />• Work shall be done so as to minimize turbidity, erosion, and other water qua;ity impacts. <br />Proper erosion and sediment control measures shall be followed to prevent sediments <br />from entering creeks or wetlands. Erosion control measures shall be approved by the <br />Department of Engineering and Public Services and/or agencies with jurisdiction. <br />Measures may include, but not be limited to, placing plywood across the azea where <br />equipment will operate; mulching the �vetland areas where equipment will operate; <br />placing �vood chips atop a flexible mat to help prevent compaction (the wood chips and <br />mat must be removed following construction); placing silt fences and hay bales between <br />construction areas and all adjacent �vetlands and streams; and placing ecology blocks <br />between construction azeas and streams ur wetlands when a temporary fill is used for <br />roads, etc. <br />• Erosion control measures shall be in place and inspected prior to commencement of work. <br />All erosion control structures shall be inspected regularly to ensure they aze maintained in <br />working ordcr. <br />If the corridor needs to be de�vatcred to do the work, the water should be pumped to a <br />sedimentation pond wliere all solids can settle or an area where it can sheet flow before <br />being discharged back to the stream or �vetland. Turbidity levels in associated wetlands <br />and streams shall not exceed the standards in WAC 173-201A. <br />
