If the non-native Spartina spp. are the only species that cover <br />more than 10% of the wctland, then the wetland should be given a dual <br />❑ Dual <br />rating (I/II). The area of Spartina would be ratod a Category 11 while the <br />rating <br />relatively undisturbed upper marsh with native species would be a <br />1/1i <br />Category 1. Do not, however, exclude the area of Spartina in <br />determining the size threshold of 1 acre. <br />=At leash/4 of the landward edge of the wetland has a 100 ft buffer of <br />shrub, forest, or un-grazed or un-mowed grassland. <br />=The wetland has at least 2 of the following features: tidal channels, <br />depressions with open water, or contiguous freshwater wetlands. <br />Wetland RatingFonn— westernWashington 17 August2004 Wetland Rating Form — westemWashington 18 August2004 <br />version 2 version 2 <br />
