percent of the growing season are non-wetlands." �ield indicators were used to determine whether wetland hydrology parameters were met on this site. BOUNDARY DETERMINATION FINDINGS Wetlands were classified according to the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) system (Cowardin et al., 1979) and rated, by categories, according to the Washington State Department of Ecology Washington State wetland rating system fo�� western Washington-Revised. Buffers are determined by City of Everett Critical Areas Reguiations, Title 19, Chapter 37. Wetland HGM Class: Riverine Cowardin: Palustrine, Forested Wetland, Seasonally Flooded /Saturated. Ecology Rating: Category II City of Everett Rating: Category II, 75' Buffer Located east of the subject property, this riverine wetland is associated with Seahurst Glenhaven Creek and received a total score for functions of 59 with a habitat score of 17 on the DOE Wetland Rating Form for Western Washington (Version 2). Wetlands with scores between 51 and S9 points for all functions are classified as Category II wetlands, per EMC 19.37.11J. In the City of Everett, Category II wetlands with habitat scores of less than 19 points typically receive 75-foot protective buffers from their delineated edge. Adjacent to the sunbject property, vegetation in the wetland is represented by a canopy of red alder (Alnus rubra, Fac) with salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, Fac+), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, FacU), Stink Currant (Ribes bracteosum, Fac+), lady fern (Athyrium (lix-femina, Fac), and skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanum, Obl). Soils in this wetland have a Munsell color of biack (10YR 2/1) with a texture of silt loam from 0 to 18 inches below the surface. Soils were moist duting our September 2011 site visit. The off-site portion of the buffer of this wetland (approximately 2� feet wide) is represented by red alder (Alnus rubra, Fac), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, Fac+), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, FacU), thimbelberry (Rubus parviflorus, Fac), Sitka mountain ash (Sorbus sitchensis, FacU), dewberry (Rubus ursinus, FacU), sword fern (Polystichum munitum, FacU), and large-ieaved avens (Geum macrophyllum. Fac+). The on-site portion of the buffer is comprised of maintained lawn.
