Buffer Averaging Plan INTRODUCTION This report presents a plan to restore an area of disturbed buffer of a Category III wetland impacted by earthwork associated with site preparation for construction of a single-family home. Buffering averaging will be applied to the site, replacing most of the disturbed buffer with adjacent, undisturbed ground. An existing slash pile of pushed over shrubs and trees will be removed, leaving a few chosen logs with rootwads as "woody debris" along the wetland edge. Native forest conditions of Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees with an understory of salal (Gaultheria shallon) similar to what occurred prior to the disturbance will be replanted in the remaining small area of disturbed buffer(3,350 square feet) defined by the buffer averaging plan. In addition, cuttings of wetland shrubs [willow(salix lasiandra)/dogwood (Cornus stolonifera)] will be installed along the disturbed wetland margins. Maintenance of the installations will include any necessary watering and control of Himalayan blackberry(Rubus discolor)or Scot's broom(Cytisus scoparius). A contingency plan calls for replanting of any species that has greater than a cumulative 20%mortality for any monitoring year. HABITAT CONDITIONS Category III Wetland Habitat(Appendix I) The wetland boundary of the subject system was delineated and rated in the fall of 2005. The wetland condition adjacent to the buffer disturbance qualifies as a Category III habitat if the rating area is limited to everything west of the culvert beneath Simpson Road. Separating the wetlands on the east and west sides of Simpson road is justified by the perched culvert that creates a hydrologic disconnect for a significant portion of the growing season. Furthermore,habitat conditions east of the road enter into a large, shallow marsh system with high structural diversity,permanent surface water conditions and minimal human disturbance while conditions west of the culvert are completely opposite consisting of low diversity, seasonal surface water and significant human disturbances to both the wetland and buffer(excluding the buffer violation of this project). Category III wetlands require a 50-foot buffer plus an additional 15-foot building setback. NEBERT HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN THE COOT COMPANY _ _ VIOLATION ACTIVITIES Buffer Clearing/Grading Site clearing occurred in late summer of 2005 for preparation of building a home that infringed on a portion of the 50-foot wetland buffer and pushed some woody debris into the wetland edges. Grading was stopped before the site work was finished, and the site has set untouched through the winter and spring. IMPACT ASSESSMENT Minimal Erosion Concern Although significant disturbance occurred to the ground surface from the earthwork activity that exposed bare soil, erosion concerns are minimal given the adjacent wetland condition. As mentioned,the subject wetland is separated by a perched culvert from a much larger, mostly undisturbed marsh system. This roadway separation essentially creates an impoundment with no significant surface flow(no streams connecting to the impoundment area) where any eroded silts would easily drop out before reaching the culvert and possibly entering the larger,more sensitive marsh habitat east of the roadway. Buffer Vegetation Loss (photographs#1 and#2) Clearing activities removed existing wetland buffer vegetation consisting of young fir trees, with a moderate cover of salal and some scattered deciduous shrubs [evergreen huckleberry(Vaccinium ovatum); service berry(Amelanchier alnifolia). However, because the ground surface was not completely scraped and grubbed,many roots of the salal and shrubs will likely resprout.

T C CO Wel" a Wrlmao st lsV APPENDIX II — Restoration Plan TO HABITAT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE NEBERT PROPERTY Mason County Tax Parcel No. 5200177 00150 JUNE 2006 RESTORATION PLAN Buffer Averaging Buffer averaging will be applied to the site to create a more useable property. The wetland buffer will be reduced to 25 feet adjacent to the proposed home site, and will be increased by slightly more than 18 feet along two edges away from the home. The buffer area reduced equals 4,382 square feet, equivalent to the combined areas where the buffer will be increased(1,715 + 2,668=4,382 square feet). Both areas where the buffer will be increased remain intact and are outside of the recent footprint of property clearing. Earthwork All earthwork will be directed in the field by a qualified wetland scientist. Special care will be taken to minimize destruction of any native shrubs or trees that may be colonizing the site. Primary earthwork activity will focus on removing the existing slash pile pushed to the wetland edge. However, several, larger logs with rootwads still attached will be selected for placement as "woody debris"along the wetland perimeter. Planting Plan When the buffer averaging plan is applied to this site, wetland buffer disturbance will be limited to only 3,350 square feet(0.08 acres). This whole area will be replanted to Douglas fir(Pseudotsuga menziesii)trees with an understory of salal (Gaultheria shallon) plus a few scattered shrubs, similar to what occurred prior to the disturbance. All planting locations will be marked in the field with species-specific, colored, wire flags by the wetland scientist following completion of earthwork activities. NEBERT 1 RESTORATION PLAN THE COOT COMPANY Plant Schedule Numbers of plant specimens required to replant the disturbed area were computed on the basis of planting the entire area with fir trees on 10-foot centers plus salal shrubs on 4- foot centers. In addition, 200 cuttings of willow(Salix lasiandra)and dogwood(Corpus stolonifera) will be placed along the disturbed wetland edge. Table 1. Plant Schedule Common Name Species Size Type *Density Number Shrubs Pacific willow Salix lasiandra 36" Cutting 2' centers 100 Red-osier dogwood Corpus stolonifera 36" Cutting 2' centers 100 Salal Gaultheria shallon 4"-6" pots 4' centers 210 Trees Dou las'fir Pseudotsu a menziesii 24" 1 Bareroot 10' Centers 34 *Planting area=3,350 sqft Installation/Maintenance Installation of woody vegetation will be performed by a qualified landscaper. Slow release fertilizer may be used within individual planting holes, but broadcast fertilizer is specifically prohibited. The installer must guarantee survival of all plantings for a minimum of one year. The installer will also be responsible for maintenance of the site to prevent establishment of Himalayan blackberry or Scot's broom. If the installer determines that supplemental irrigation is necessary during the first summer following installation, a pressurized water supply for this irrigation will be made available by hose from the home site. Following installation,the wetland scientist will review the site to confirm that the installation was properly performed, and to mark all installations with flagging for monitoring purposes. In addition, permanent photo points will be staked in the field, and initial monitoring photographs taken of the as-built condition. Performance Standards Each species of installed woody vegetation must have a minimum survival rate of 80%at the end of the monitoring period. In addition, there may be no colonization of the planting area by Himalayan blackberry(Rubus discolor) or Scot's broom (Cytisus scoparius). NEBERT 2 RESTORATION PLAN THE COOT COMPANY Monitoring Monitoring of the plantings will be performed in late summer for three years following installation. Monitoring will entail checking the health and vigor of each planted specimen, and taking of photographs from the designated points. A brief letter report describing the monitoring results will be provided to Mason County Planning no later than 1 October of each monitoring year. Contingency If during any monitoring review,mortality of any one species exceeds a cumulative total of 20%, replanting of this species will be performed. If mortality is suspected from poor species selection to site conditions, other native species may be supplemented,pending approval from Mason County Planning. Implementation Schedule Earthwork to restore the disturbed buffer will be performed as soon as authorization to proceed is granted. Installation of woody vegetation will be performed in the next non- growing season (November to March). Monitoring will begin in the subsequent growing season.

Gregory R Nebert 350 W Simpson Rd Shelton,WA 98584 Dear Mr.Nebert, On July 10, 2006, I inspected your property located at 401 W.-Simpson Rd, in Mason County, WA. The inspection was requested by Planner Tammi Clark due to clearing and grading activity within a jurisdictional wetland system that was noted during the inspection for permit BLD2005- 01313. I have received and reviewed the Habitat Management Plan and Restoration Plan that was submitted in June 2006. Some supplemental information must be provided to Mason County before the Restoration Plan will be approved. The buffer averaging scenario that is suggested in the restoration plan is not acceptable for this site. This 5.04-acre parcel has adequate space to accommodate the home and a standard buffer restoration. There has been no justification provided for why the buffer averaging is absolutely necessary. The Restoration Plan will therefore need to be adjusted accordingly for the quantities of plants and trees to replant the standard 50' buffer. A cost estimate should then be included with the Restoration Plan to include the materials and labor for the restoration project and monitoring. The Mason County Resource Ordinance section 17.01.210 numbers 1-3 outline the specific requirements for restoration of a disturbed site with critical areas such as wetlands. You have completed number 1, which is the restoration plan requirement. You will still need to submit a restoration bond in the amount of the estimate for the restoration materials and labor, including monitoring. Once I have received the modified information to the Restoration Plan and the Bond, a monitoring case file will be started so that the restoration work can be tracked for three years. Once per year, you must have a qualified professional submit an annual update that addresses the progress of the restored area. I anticipate receiving the restoration plan supplemental information and bond by September 8, 2006. Upon receipt of the plan and bond form I will close the enforcement case and create a tracking case file. Once per year, for a period of three years from completion of restoration activities, a qualified professional shall submit an annual report to the County (see Mason County Resource Ordinance section 17.01.210(2) — copy enclosed). The bond will be released following the three-year monitoring period, if the requirements of section 17.01.210(3) are satisfied. If you have questions regarding the compliance requirements, please contact me at (360)427-9670 ext. 602. Thank you for anticipated cooperation. Sincerely, 4a,A_-� -7 Stephanie Pawlawski Planner,Code Enforcement (360)427-9670 ext. 602 stephap@co.mason.wa.us
