The following buffer widths listed in Tables 37.2 and 37.3 apply to all wetlands within the City of Everett. Buffer widths have been established in accordance with the best available science. Buffers are based on the category of wetland and the habitat score as determined by a qualified wetland professional using the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington: 2014 Update (Ecology Publication#14-06029, or as revised and approved by Ecology). 1. Bogs shall have a minimum buffer width of one hundred ninety feet.The following minimum buffers of native vegetation shall apply to all other wetlands based upon the wetland category and score for habitat functions from the Wetland Rating Form—Western Washington. Buffers shall be measured from the wetland boundary delineated as required by Section 37.090.A. a. Category I, II and III wetlands scoring three points for habitat function shall have the following buffers: Category Category 11 and ll 1-14 wetlands wetlands Buffer Width 75 60 Planning Commission Resolution 19-04 Page 31 Critical Areas March 19, 2019
