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. 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) EMC Title 19.37 (Critical Areas) Page 20
