A <br />constructed ditch drains Wetland A to WeUand B. Il was cleared and now <br />has urban runoN and encroachment. Wetland B contains a beaver dam <br />and storm water, and much of the wetland and its buffer o��-site has <br />exporlenced disturbance from development. <br />Wetland C is Isolated, wfth part of its buffer encroached upon �+v <br />development. Watland C is a small watershed that has likely been <br />impacted by stoim water dumping or dralning. This is important, as an <br />uutlet will be installed to cantroi the high level of water from Wetland C, <br />(5) METHODOLOGY <br />The 1987 Federal Methodology was used to delineate the wetlands, along <br />with the 1997 Department of Ecology methodology. <br />(6) CLASSIFICATION OF STREAMS AND WETLANDS <br />All the wotlands are Category III wetlands. The buffers are 25 feet from the <br />wetlands. <br />(7) MITIGATION <br />Mitigation is provided for impacts to tho wetlands. Im�acts to the wetlands <br />include filling in areas A, B, and C, and a paper flll fn area D. Area G in <br />tract 996 will be designated as addltional buf(er. Area H wlll be enhanced. <br />Table 4 shows mitigation ratios with the total of buffer gained and lost <br />coming up with an excess buffer of 12,973 squere feet, Totaling wetland flll <br />and the paper fill, multiplying times 2 at a 2:1 ratlo, we errive af 12,200 <br />square feet. Subtr��cting this from the excess buffer gain we end up with <br />an excess buHer gain of 771 square feot to account for the actual wetland <br />and paper wetland fill. Add this to wetland enhancement of 7,897 square <br />feet; we can mitlgate for the loss of buffer along lot 15, and tract 999, tho <br />storm water tract. <br />In summary, Innovative design is explained in greater detail. The main <br />Intent of Innovative dosign is to maintain aroa G as added buffer, which is a <br />somewhat mature stand of forost. <br />30A7 BAA, inc. 1/11IOS <br />U <br />
