Mr. Elmer Johnston March 26, 1990 Page Four A sketch map showing the appr-ximate location and size of the wetland has been included. This map is for orientation purposes only and is not intended for jurisdictional or site planning uses. An accurate map can b_ obtained by having the wetland boundaries delineat%.d and flagged, and having the flagging surveyed by a qualified surveyor. SUMMARY The field reconnaissance conducted on the Farrar property located on the west side of Mukilteo Boulevard and south of 27th Avenue located one emergent marsh wetland. The wetland appears to be seep associated. The City of Everett classifies wetl':ds into three categories. Category I wetlands are those ten or more acres in : .a and having three or more wetland classes, one of which is open water; wetlands with a 40-60% open water vegetation ratio with tw or more subclasses of vegetation; wetlands containing species listed as sensit)ve, threatened, or endangered by state or federal agencies; or wetlands containing plant associations of infrequent occurrence such as bogs or saltmarshes. Category II wetlands are those wetlands other than Category I wetlands that meet any of thefollowing criteria: wetlands larger than one acre, wetlands containing three or more vegetation classes and equal to or less than one acre in size, wetlands equal to or less than one acre that have a forested wetland vegetation class, or wetlands that contain a species recognized as important by the State or Washington. Category III wetlands are those which are equal to or less than one acre in size and have two or fewer wetland vegetation classes. According to the city's classification system, the wetland would likely be considered a category III wetland and would probably require 35-foot buffers.
