Figure 4 depicta the profile c6ange <br />propoaed to e:pand t6e dparian/wedand habitat along the creek. <br />'llre water supply for the wedand areas will be from surfaa runo� Stiver r,ti" <br />Crak, and groundwater. <br />Method of Miti�atioe <br />Mitigadon will include the following �mponents: <br />• identi6cation of apeci8c site topography and groundwater and surface wat• • <br />elevations; <br />• eucavadon of streamside bench areas; and <br />• planting of trees, ahruba, aad emergent vegetadon. <br />Table 1 presents the spccies of vegetadon proposed for planting, and Figure 5 <br />presents a schemade vegetatton plan for creation and enhanamenG <br />Plant apecies selected for plandng are those recosnmended by tbe Was6ington State <br />Depaztment of Wildlife for riparian, open water, and shallow water conditions (Washington <br />State Department of Wildiife 1984). <br />'ibe proposed midgation plan will provide the foUowing beneHts: <br />• improve �ood storsge of Silver Lake CYeek by increasing the floodway width; <br />• improve the divccsity and width of riparian habttat along Silver Lake Geek; and <br />• improve the habttat value of the ezisting pond and adjacent wetlaad area by <br />providing additional wetland plant vegetaUon. <br />1'ime I.ine <br />'Ibe midgation arca will be developed during earth-work (grading) activides for We <br />remainder of t6e site. The approximate schedule will be as followa: <br />• September 1988 - identification of site-speciHc .topography and anrfaa water <br />rnndidons; <br />10 <br />
