Western Washington (Version 2). Category III wetlands with habitat scores of less than 19 typically receive 60-foot protective buffers. Wetland D (Category III): This forested, depressional wetland received a total score for functions of 41 points with a habitat score of 15 on the DOE Wetland Rating Form for Western Washington (Version 2). Category III wetlands with habitat scores of less than 19 typically receive 60-foot protective buffers. Wetland E (Category II): This forested, depressional wetland received a total score for functions of 65 points with a habitat score of 16 on the DOE Wetland Rating Form for Western Washington (Version 2). Category II wetlands with habitat scores of less than 19 typically receive 75-foot protective buffers. Wetland F (Category III): This forested, slope wetland received a total score for functions of 33 points with a habitat score of 15 on the DOE Wetland Rating Form for Western Washington (Version 2). Category III wetlands with habitat scores of less than 19 typically receive 60-foot protective buffers. Streams A and B (Type Ns): Streams A and B are tributaries to Powder Mill Gulch. These seasonal streams are not Type S, F, or Type Np waters because they are intermittent and are not used by fish due to steep gradients (>16%). The streams are not located downstream of Type Np waters and do not have surface water in them for at least some portion of a year of normal rainfall. Type Ns streams receive 50-foot buffers when the buffer is comprised of intact native vegetation, as is the case on this property. Stream C - Powder MITI Gulch (Type F): Power Mill Gulch is located east of the subject property near the toe of a steep east aspect slope. City of Everett Critical Areas Map 1 classifies Powder Mill Gulch as a Type F stream. Type F streams receive 100-foot buffers when the buffer is comprised of intact native vegetation, as is the case in this instance. When the minimum buffer for a stream extends into an area with a slope of greater than twenty-five percent, the stream buffer shall extend 25-feet beyond the point where the slope becomes twenty-five percent or less. A 25-foot buffer from the top of the steep slope is shown on the attached map. WETLAND DETERMINATION REPORT Methodology: On -site, routine methodology as described in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, 1997 edition, was used for this determination, as required by the City of Everett. Under this method, the process for making a wetland determination is based on three sequential steps: 1) Examination of the site for hydrophytic vegetation (species presence and coverage); 2) If hydrophytic vegetation is found, then the presence of hydric soils is determined; 3) Determination of the presence of wetland hydrology in the area examined under the first two steps.
