2. Habitat Management Plan. The director may require that all or a portion of the following be included in a habitat management plan: a. A map drawn to scale or survey showing the following information: i. All lakes, ponds, streams, wetlands and tidal waters on or adjacent to the subject property, including the name (if named), and ordinary high water mark of each, and the stream or wetland category consistent with the requirements of this chapter; ii. The location and description of the fish and wildlife habitat conservation area on the subject property, as well as any potential fish and wildlife habitat conservation area within a distance of the subject property that may impact an affected species or habitat; and iii. The location of any observed evidence of use by a species regulated by the provisions of the fish and wildlife habitat sections of this chapter. b. An analysis of how the proposed development activities will affect the fish and wildlife habitat conservation area and any affected species including the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of the proposed action on the regulated species and its habitat within the project area. c. Provisions to reduce or eliminate the impacts of the proposed development activities on any fish and wildlife habitat conservation area and affected species.The HMP should describe components of the project that may benefit or promote the recovery of listed species and are included as an integral part of the proposed project.These conservation (or mitigation) measures serve to minimize or compensate for project effects on the species under review.The following items should be addressed: i. Provide specific recommendations, as appropriate, to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of the proposed activity. Potential measures include: timing restrictions for all or some of the activities; clearing limitations; avoidance of specific areas; special construction techniques; HMP conditions; replanting with native vegetation; potential of habitat enhancement (i.e.,fish passage barrier removal); best management practices, etc.; ii. Include a description of proposed monitoring of the species, its habitat, and mitigation effectiveness. d. The HMP shall identify the specific habitat objectives the HMP is designed to achieve and include recommendations regarding all actions taken which are necessary to avoid reducing the likelihood that the species will maintain and reproduce over the long term, and/or actions to maintain or enhance the significant features present. 19.37.075 Wetlands,streams and lakes - mitigation plans—required content A. Wetland and buffer impact mitigation plans. 1. Include a baseline study that quantifies the existing wetland and buffer functions, functions that will be lost, and the functions after mitigation.This could involve assessing functions using Calculating Credits and Debits for Compensatory Mitigation in Wetlands of Western Washington:Final Report, March 2012. Washington State Department of Ecology Publication No. 10-06-011, or as amended; 2. Specify how functions will be preserved or replaced; 3. Specify how impacts will be avoided, minimized or compensated for; 4. Assess the potential changes in wetland hydroperiod from the proposed project and identify how the project design will mitigate adverse impacts to the wetland hydroperiod; 5. Describe the future vegetation community types for monitoring years, including dominant vegetation expected. Plants shall be native species, commercially available or available from local sources, high in food and cover value for fish and wildlife,and mostly perennial; Planning Commission Resolution 19-04 Page 23 Critical Areas March 19, 2019
