Aa e�dsdag driveway paralleling the east side of Silver Lake Creek will be removed and benchea aeated for plandng shrubs and uees. Figure 4 depicts the pro5le c6ange proposed to enpand the dparian/wetland habitat along the creek. The water supply for the wedand areas will be from surfacx runof� Silver I�ke Creek, and groundwater. Method of Mitigation Mitigadon will include the following components: • identification of specitic site topography and groundwater and surfaa water elevations; • excavadon of streamside bench areas; and • plandng of trees, shruh�s, and emergent vegetation. Table 1 presents the sp�:cies of vegetadon proposed for plandng, and Figuro 5 presents a achemade vegetadon plan for creation and enhanameat Plant species se(ected for planting are those reoommended by the Waahtngton State Department of Wildlife for riparian, �pen water, and shallow water condidons (Washington State Department of Wildlif.e 1984). 'Ihe proposed mitip,adon plan will provide the following bene6ts: • improve flood atorage of Silver Lake Creek by increastnR the floodway width; • impmve the diversity and width of riparian habitat along Silver Iake Creek; and • improve the habitat value of the e�tisdng pond and adjaaat wedand area by provldiag Pdditional wetland plant vegetadon. Time I.ine 'Ibe micigadon area will be developed during earth-work (gtading) actividea for the remainder of the site. The approximate schedule will be as followa: • Sr.ptember 1988 - identificatiun of sitaspecific topography and aurfaoe water condidoas; l0
