c. Identification of any mitigation measures required to eliminate potentially significant geological hazards both on the proposed development site and any potentially impacted off-site properties. When hazard mitigation is required,the mitigation plan shall specifically address how the proposed activity maintains or reduces the preexisting level of risk to the site and adjacent properties on a long-term basis.The mitigation plan shall include recommendations regarding any long-term maintenance activities that may be required to mitigate potential hazards. d. The geological assessment shall document the field investigations, published data and references, data and conclusions from past geological assessments,or geotechnical investigations of the site, site-specific measurements,tests, investigations, or studies, as well as the methods of data analysis and calculations that support the results,conclusions, and recommendations. e. The geological assessment shall contain a summary of any other information the geologist identifies as relevant to the assessment and mitigation of geological hazards. C. Additional Critical Area Report Content for Wetlands 1. #Wetland shall be rated accordin: to the cate:ories defined b the Washin:ton State De•artment of Ecology Washington State Rating System for Western Washington 2014 Update,or as revised (Ecology Publication No. 14-06-029). 2. H dro!eomor•hic classification• wetland acrea:e and Cowardin classification of ve:etation communities• and to the extent sossible h drolo:ic information such as location and condition of inlet/outlets. Provide acreage estimates,classifications, and ratings based on entire wetland complexes. not only the portion present on the proposed project site.± D. Additional Critical Area Report Content for Biological Assessments(BA) Refer to requirements for Habitat Assessment in the following section. E. Additional Critical Area Report Content for Habitat Assessment and Habitat Management Plans (HMP). 1. Habitat Assessment. All habitat assessments required by this chapter shall include the following elements in addition to the general requirements for all critical area reports listed in this section: a. A detailed description of the vegetation on and adjacent to the site. b. Identification and a detailed description of any critical fish or wildlife species or habitats, including listed threatened or endangered species, as set forth in this chapter,on or adjacent to the site and the distance of such habitats or species in relation to the site. Describe efforts to determine the status of any critical species in the project area, including information on survey methods, timing, and results of surveys for species or suitable habitat identification. c. Include any information received from biologists with special expertise on the species or habitat type, such as WDFW,Tribal, USFS, or other local, regional, federal, and university fish, wildlife and habitat biologists and plant ecologists. Include any such conversations in the habitat assessment and cite as personal communication. d. An assessment of the project's direct and indirect potential impacts and cumulative impacts on the subject habitat, including water quality impacts. e. A discussion of potential mitigation measures that would avoid or minimize temporary and permanent impacts, proposed mitigation measures, contingency measures, and monitoring plans. f. The city may require that the applicant request a separate evaluation of the site by WDFW staff to confirm the findings of the habitat assessment. g. Developments in the floodplain must show the 100-year flood elevation contour,the floodway boundary, and the protected area boundary on the site plan.
