Part One provides background information and describes existing conditions on the site. Part Two proposes measures to enhance wetland habitat in a portion of a wetland located partially on a parcel owned by Michael Oppelt(parcel number 520264100030) located at 3061 W Highland Rd, Shelton, Mason County, Washington. Part Three proposes measures to restore ecological functions to previously disturbed portions of the same wetland. 1.2 BACKGROUND In 2008, property owner Michael Oppelt performed clearing and earthmoving work in a jurisdictional wetland, in order to increase open water and reduce incursion of shrubby vegetation into open water areas of the wetland (Oppelt, personal communication, 2009). In February 2009, Mr. Oppelt received oral notification from Mason County Planning Department staff that the work was done without required permits, and remedial measures would be needed. Mr. Oppelt contacted Sound Native Plants for assistance, and subsequently Ben Alexander of Sound Native Plants met on-site multiple times with Mr. Oppelt and personnel from the Mason County Planning Department, Washington Department of Ecology, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine the appropriate course of action. During the course of those discussions, it was agreed that most of the disturbed area would need to be restored to native wetland vegetation but a portion of the site could be retained for open water habitat, so long as the total area of disturbance, comprised of minor fill and vegetation removal, was less than 1/10 acre. Mason County Planning Department was identified as the lead agency for permit review. 1.3 LIMITATIONS This plan was developed according to the best available science on environmental restoration, and the professional expertise of the consultant. The consultant examined the soils, vegetation and hydrology on the site, and performed a wetland delineation and rating(described in a separate report). The maps and drawings contained in this plan were drawn from field measurements taken with compass, measuring tape, and rangefinder, and have not been professionally surveyed. 1.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Oppelt property is 6.43 acres and is roughly triangular, bordered by Highland Road on the northwest side and adjacent parcels owned by Green Diamond on the other two sides. The southern property line bisects a shallow depressional wetland of approximately seven acres, described in 1 +Oppelt Property Wetland Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Plan greater detail in the Oppelt Property Wetland Delineation Report (Sound Native Plants, March 10, 2009). The property contains a single-family residence and appurtenant structures, located on a rise several hundred feet north of the wetland. In the northeast corner of the wetland, existing wetland soil was pushed up to create a curved berm about 15' wide and 100' long, which encompasses a shallow open water area. Two 3' culverts provide hydrologic connection to the rest of the wetland. Areas of minor fill from the wetland soils were also pushed up around the landward perimeter of the open water area. Vegetation was removed from the surrounding upper elevations, leaving exposed bare soil. A swath of vegetation roughly 20' wide by 500' long was removed along the northwest wetland edge, from near the bermed area to the southwest property corner. The surface soil in that area was somewhat disturbed, but no significant dredging or filling occurred there. 1.4.1 Vegetation The disturbed area is mostly bare ground with little vegetation. In upper elevations with minimal disturbance, soft rush (Juncus ffusus), spirea(Spiraea douglasii) and grasses are sprouting. Aquatic vegetation has started growing in the disturbed open water areas, but it is too early in the season to determine the species. The vegetated portions of the adjacent wetland include spirea(Spiraea douglasii), willow(Salix sp.), emergent species (Carex obnupta,Juncus ensifolius,Juncus acuminatus, Typha latifolia) and a few aquatic individuals (Nuphar sp.). Other probable species include shore sedge (Carex lenticularis) and short-awn foxtail (Alopecurus aequahs var. aequahs), but these species could not be confirmed this early in the season. The buffer is dominated by Douglas-fir(Pseudotsuga menziesii) with an understory of salal(Gaultheria shallon) and a diverse shrub layer that includes snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and sword fern(Polystichum munitum). 1.4.2 Soil Soils are described in greater detail in the wetland delineation report. Soils at the site are mapped as Shelton gravelly loam and Mukilteo peat. Mukilteo peat is listed as a hydric soil (NRCS 2008). The upland soils observed in soil pits were found to be gravelly loam with very little profile development, dark reddish brown to strong brown color, and no reducing conditions or redoxomorphic features. Wetland soils are dark reddish brown to dark grayish brown, with distinct, yellowish brown mottling. The wetland soils within the disturbed areas show little to no organic layer on top and are highly compacted. 1.4.3 Hydrology Groundwater appears to be the major source of wetland hydrology, supplemented by direct rainfall. No streams or surface water channels feed into the wetland, and the single, constricted outlet flows into an adjacent wetland. The berm has not restricted the wetland hydrology because the two large 2 Oppelt Property Wetland Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Plan ! culverts have the bottoms at or below the bottom of the wetland and the top at or above ordinary high water, providing unrestricted flows. PART 2: HABITAT ENHANCEMENT PLAN 2.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal of the habitat enhancement plan is to enhance waterfowl and wildlife habitat by increasing interspersion of open water and scrub-shrub habitats in the wetland. The specific objectives are to remove shrubby vegetation in standing water areas and increase overhanging native vegetation in the shoreline areas. 2.2 ENHANCEMENT MEASURES 2.2.1 Vegetation Removal and Recontouring Shrubby vegetation will be removed from the designated open water areas by hand, scraping or other mechanical means. Minor spoils from scraping operations may be deposited along the shoreline to create a riparian planting zone. Open water area depth will not exceed 2 feet, the approximate average depth of open water in adjacent undisturbed areas. Vegetation removal area will be limited to 4,350 square feet(see drawing sheet 2). 2.2.2 Erosion Control In order to prevent surface erosion, all bare ground will be covered with mulch by September 1, 2009. Mulch may consist of any of the following materials: a. Medium ground fir bark spread 3"thick b. Clean hog fuel or arborist's wood chips spread 3"thick c. Yard waste compost(Cedar Grove compost or Silver Springs Organics compost or equivalent) d. Coir or jute erosion control netting 2.2.3 Planting Native shrubs and emergents will be planted around the perimeter of the open water area. Shrubs will be planted around the outer areas, spaced roughly 5 feet apart, and emergents will be planted along the water's edge in clumps of 3-4 plants, with clumps spaced roughly 2 —4 feet apart (see drawing sheet 3).

Plants will be nursery-grown from western Washington genetic stock. b. Plant species substitutions must be native to western Washington lowlands and must be approved by the consultant. C. The consultant must approve plant size substitutions. d. For bareroot stock, increase quantities by 20%. 2.2.5 Maintenance For the first three summers after planting, the installed plants will be watered every two weeks during dry, hot periods from May through September, if possible. At a minimum, the plantings should be watered deeply once per month through the summer. At a maximum, the plants should be watered deeply no more than once per week. Mulch will be rejuvenated as needed to prevent surface erosion and suppress weed growth until native vegetation has colonized all bare areas. Weeds will be removed by hand pulling. No chemical herbicides will be applied in the wetland. PART 3: WETLAND RESTORATION PLAN 3.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The goal of the wetland restoration plan is to restore native wetland vegetation to disturbed portions of the wetland and buffer. The specific objectives are to restore native muck soils to the 4 Oppelt Property Wetland Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Plan emergent zone and northwest wetland edge, re-establish emergent wetland vegetation in the emergent zone and northwest wetland edge, mulch all bare mineral soil in the shrub zones, and re- establish native shrubs in the shrub zones. Performance standards for the mitigation project will be: 3.1.1. Minimum 2"muck soil in emergent zone and northwest wetland edge by September 1, 2009. 3.1.2. All bare ground in shrub zones will be mulched by September 1, 2009. 3.1.3. 90%of installed plants will be alive at the end of the Vt growing season after planting (75%if using increased quantities of bareroot stock per specifications). 3.1.4. Native plants will comprise 75% cover in non open-water areas by the end of year 3. 3.1.5. Invasive non-native plants will comprise less than 5%cover at the end of each growing season. 3.2 RESTORATION MEASURES 3.2.1 Restore Muck Soil in Emergent Zone and Northwest Wetland Edge In the emergent zone restoration area, the berm level needs to be lowered to provide adequate soil moisture for emergent vegetation. To accomplish this, mineral soil from the upper berm will be removed to an elevation 2"below the top of the southwest culvert (see drawing sheet 4). Excavated material will be removed from the site. Excavation should occur during the summer months when the water level is low. After the berm is lowered, muck soil from the existing disturbed portion of the wetland will be spread 2-3"deep over the top of the berm. The existing soil will provide a native seed bank to encourage natural revegetation. In the northwest wetland edge area, muck soil was pushed into the wetland along a long swath when the vegetation was cleared. The muck soil in that area will be pulled back and spread 2"deep over the bare mineral soil (see drawing sheet 6), to provide a native seed bank and encourage natural revegetation. The soil work should occur during the summer months when the water level is low. The pile of fill material at the edge of the wetland near wetland flag#11 will be removed (see drawing sheet 4). Excavated material will be removed from the site. Excavation should occur during the summer months when the water level is low. 3.2.2 Control Erosion In order to prevent surface erosion, all bare mineral soil will be covered with mulch by September 1, 2009. Mulch may consist of any of the following materials: a. Medium ground fir bark spread 3"thick b. Clean hog fuel or arborist's wood chips spread 3"thick C. Yard waste compost(Cedar Grove compost or Silver Springs Organics compost or equivalent) 5 t Oppelt Property Wetland Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Plan d. Coir or jute erosion control netting 3.2.3 Seed With Native Emergents The berm emergent zone will be seeded with the following native seed mix (Sunmark Seeds Marsh mix) applied at the rate of 0.5 lbs. per 1000 square feet (see drawing sheet 5): Slough sedge (Carex obnupta) 35% Small fruited.bulrush(Scirpus microcarpus) 25% Sawbeak sedge (Carex stipata) 20% Slender rush(Juncus tennis) 10% Creeping spikerush(Eleocharis palustris) 10% The restored muck soil along the northwest wetland edge will be seeded with the following native seed mix(Sunmark Seeds Water Quality mix) applied at the rate of 1 lb. per 1000 square feet (see drawing sheet 6): Blue wildrye (Elymus glaucus) 46% Red fescue (Festuca rubra var. rubra) 38% Tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa) 12% Western mannagrass (Glyceria occidentahs) 2% American sloughgrass (Beckmannia syzigachne) 2% The seed will be broadcast by hand using a shoulder-harness broadcaster or rolling seed spreader. The seed may be thoroughly mixed at a 1:1 ratio with fine peat moss to aid with broadcasting. After broadcasting, the seed will be likely raked to incorporate it into the upper inch of soil. The seeding should be done in September, after daytime and evening temperatures have started to cool. 3.2.4 Plant Native Species Trees, shrubs and emergent species will be planted to restore native vegetation to all disturbed areas. Trees will be planted 15 feet on center, shrubs will be planted 5 feet on center, and emergents will be planted in clumps of 3-4 plants, with clumps spaced 2-4' apart(see drawing sheets 5 and 6).

All species listed are native to western Washington. 3.2.5 Plant Specifications a. Plants will be nursery-grown from western Washington genetic stock. b. Plant species substitutions must be native to western Washington lowlands and must be approved by the consultant. C. The consultant must approve plant size substitutions. d. For bareroot stock, increase quantities by 20%. 3.2.6 Maintenance For the first three summers after planting, the installed plants will be watered every two weeks during dry, hot periods from May through September, if possible. At a minimum, the plantings should be watered deeply once per month through the summer. At a maximum, the plants should be watered deeply no more than once per week. Mulch will be rejuvenated as needed to prevent surface erosion and suppress weed growth until native vegetation has colonized all bare areas. Weeds will be removed by hand pulling. No chemical herbicides will be applied in the wetland. 7 t Oppelt Property Wetland Habitat Enhancement and Restoration Plan 3.2.7 Monitoring Monitoring will consist of checking the plants' survival and health once per year in summer or early fall, for three years following installation. A brief report summarizing the monitoring results will be submitted to the Mason County Planning Department, with accompanying photographs if needed. The report will describe any additional measures needed to insure success, and may make further recommendations to improve the overall project. For purposes of meeting the performance standards, volunteer native plants that occur naturally on the site may be included in the survival counts, if they contribute to the project goals. The monitoring report will clearly identify and justify when volunteer plants have been included in the survival counts. 3.2.8 Contingencies If the plant mortality exceeds the performance standards, the dead plants will be replaced with nursery-grown plants of the same species, in sufficient quantities for the site to meet the performance standards after replanting. Replanting will occur in the fall after monitoring is completed. Other contingency measures may be implemented as needed, according to the monitoring report recommendations. Contingency measures may include, but are not limited to, replanting different species, installing browse protectors, and additional weed controls.

Prepared for: Michael Oppelt 3061 W Highland Rd Shelton, WA 98584 SOUND NATIVE PLANTS PO BOX 7505 OLYMPIA, WA 98507 (360) 352-4122 Prepared by: Adrienne Basey March 10, 2009 OPPELT PROPERTY WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT This report describes the wetland found on a parcel owned by Michael Oppelt(parcel number 520264100030) located at 3061 W Highland Rd, Shelton, Mason County, Washington. PURPOSE This report is intended to determine the boundaries of the jurisdictional wetlands on the Oppelt property per Mason County Resource Ordinance (Mason County, 2006) requirements. The Oppelt property contains a single-family home and associated structures, located in a rural area of Mason County. METHODS Adrienne Basey and Amee Bahr of Sound Native Plants visited the site on March 6, 2009 for the purpose of delineating, flagging, and rating the wetland. The wetland delineation was made using the methodology of the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Washington Department of Ecology 1997), which is a modification of the US Army Corps of Engineers Interagency Wetland Delineation Manual (1987). The wetlands were classified using the US Fish and Wildlife Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (1979). The wetlands were rated using the Washington State Rating System for Western Washington(Washington Department of Ecology 2004). SITE DESCRIPTION The Oppelt property is 6.43 acres and is roughly triangular, bordered by Highland Road on the northwest side and adjacent parcels owned by Green Diamond on the other two sides (see figure 1). The southern property line bisects a shallow depressional wetland of approximately seven acres. The southern half of the wetland is located on the Green Diamond parcel, and has a narrow forested buffer surrounded by a clearcut that was harvested after the date of the 2006 Mason County aerial photographs used in this report. The wetland drains through a narrow surface channel to another wetland about 150 feet to the east. An abandoned beaver dam controls the outflow, and the water level drops about two feet from the top of the dam to the bottom. The outlet channel is approximately two feet wide and water flows in one direction. RESULTS The Oppelt wetland is a depressional wetland with no surface inlets and a single outlet. Due to the clearing of vegetation and scraping of soil from portions of the wetland perimeter on the Oppelt property, hydrology and topography were the primary determinant for the wetland boundary. A clearly defined bank separates the wetland from the upland, and this is supported by changes in soil chroma, water.table levels, and vegetation in adjacent,undisturbed areas. The wetland rates as a class 2 wetland with a total function score of 61 points. The wetland boundary is flagged with pink "wetland delineation"flagging. The flags are labeled"SNP09"and sequentially numbered F 1 through F 16. Flag F 1 is located where the southern property line meets the wetland near Highland road. Flag F 16 is located near the western property line within the forested section of the wetland (see figure 2). Vegetation --o The wetland is dominated by shrub/scrub vegetation composed primarily of spirea (Spiraea douglasii). There are also populations of willow (Salix sp.), emergent species (Carex obnupta,Juncus ensifolius,Juncus acuminatus) and a few aquatic individuals (Nuphar sp.). The diversity and composition of the vegetation at the wetland edge has been compromised with scraping and clearing the land. The northeast corner contains a small section of forested wetland. Here, western red-cedar(Thuja plicata) dominates the canopy with salmonberry (Rubes spectabihs) and emergents as the shrub and herb layers. Most of the forested wetland area lies on Green Diamond property. H:drol�r Groundwater appears to be the major source of wetland hydrology, supplemented by direct rainfall. No streams or surface water channels feed into the wetland, and the single, constricted outlet flows into an adjacent wetland. Soils Soils at the site are mapped as Shelton gravelly loam and Mukilteo peat(see figure 5). Mukilteo peat is listed as a hydric soil (NRCS 2008). Many of the accessible wetland soils have been compromised through scraping and compaction, which probably affected the profiles observed in the soil test pits. The soil pits within the upland areas were found to be gravelly loam with very little profile development. They are dark reddish brown to strong brown (5YR 3/3, 5YR 4/4). No reducing conditions or redoxomorphic features were observed. Wetland soils showed slightly more profile development. They are also dark reddish brown (5YR 2.5/2) and moved to dark grayish brown(1OYR 4/2). They have distinct, yellowish brown mottling(10YR 4/8). The wetland soils within the disturbed areas show little to no organic layer on top and are highly compacted. Outside of the disturbed area, the soils show three inches of very dark brown soil (7.5YR 2.5/2) high in organic matter and met the F3 hydric soil indicator for depleted matrix. Delineation Determining Factors Hydrology acts as the main factor in delineating this wetland. Standing water, saturated soils and drainage patterns provide visual indicators of the wetland boundary, which is supported by the change in soil characteristics. Adjacent undisturbed portions of the wetland contain hydrophytic vegetation that meets the wetland vegetation criteria. Wetland Classification The wetland is classified as a Palustrine Scrub-Shrub Wetland according to the USFWS Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States. Wetland Ratinu The wetland was rated according to the Washington State Wetlands Rating System, Western Washington (Washington Department of Ecology 2004). The wetland rates as a Category II with a total function score of 61. Significant wetland functions include amphibian breeding and rearing habitat, passerine bird and waterfowl habitat, and floodwater storage. References Cowardin, L.M., V. Carter, F.C. Golet, and E.T.

Has the wetland unit been documented as a habitat for any Federally listed Threatened or Endangered animal or plant species (TIE species)? For the purposes of this rating system,"documented"means the wetland is on the appropriate state or federal database. SP2. Has the wetland unit been documented as habitat for any State listed Threatened or Endangered animal species? For the purposes of this rating system, "documented" means the wetland is on the appropriate state database. Note: Wetlands with State listed plant species X are categorized as Category 1 Natural Heritage Wetlands(see p. 19 of data form). SP3. Does the wetland unit contain individuals of Priority species listed by the WDFW or the state? u SP4. Does the wetland unit have a local significance in addition to its functions? For example, the wetland has been identified in the Shoreline Master Program, the Critical Areas Ordinance,or in a local management plan as having special significance. To complete the next part of the data sheet you will need to determine the Hydro eomorphic Class of the wetland beingrated. The hydrogeomorplik classification groups wetlands in to those that fimction in similar ways. This simplifies the questions needed to answer how well the we]and fiuxtions. The Hydrogeomotphic Class of a wetland can be determined using the key below. See p.24 for more detailed instructions on classifying wetlands.

In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply, and go to Question 8 I. the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)? �—go to 2 YES—the wetland class is Tidal Fringe If yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt(parts per thousand)? YES—Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO—Saltwater Tidal Fringe(Estuarine) #'your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. #it is a Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is rated as an Estuarine wetland Wetlands that were call estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were categorized separately in the earlier editions,and this separation is being kept in this revision. To maintain consistency between editions,the term"Estuarine"wetland is kept. Please note,however,that the characteristics that define Category I and II estuarine wetlands have changed(see p ) 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is only source(>90%)of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sourggskeif water to the unit. O go to 3 YES—The wetland class is Flats If your wetland c e classified as a"Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland meet both of the following criteria? The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water(without any vegetation on the surface)where at least 20 acres (8ha) in size; At least of the open water area is deeper than 6.6(2 m)? O o to 4 YES—The wetland class is Lake-fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 4. Does the entire wetlan meet all of the following criteria? The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual). The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional)and usually comes from seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks. The water leaves the wetland without being impounded? NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these types of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow essions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually<3 ft diameter and less than 1 foot deep). NO o to 5 YES—The wetland class is Slope 5. Does the entire wetlaNnd4eet all of the following criteria? The unit is in a valley or stream channel where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or river. The overbank flooding occurs at least once every two years. NOTE:` riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not_flooding.. (NOY go to 6 YES—The wetland class is Riverine 6. Is the entire wetland u in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at some time of the year. This means that any outlet, if present i than the interior of the wetland. NO—go to 7 r YES Jrhe wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland located in a very flat area no obvious depression and no overbank flooding. The unit does not pond surface water more than a few inches. The unit seems to be maintained by high groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet. No—go to 8 YES—The wetland class is Depressional 8. Your wetland unit seems to be difficult to classify and probably contains several different HGM classes. For example,seeps at the base of a slope may grade into a riverine floodplain,or a small stream within a depn,ssional wetland has a zone of flooding along its sides. GO BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF THE HYDROLOGIC REGIMES DESCRIBED IN QUESTIONS 1-7 APPLY TO DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE UNIT(make a rough sketch to help you decide). Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to use for the rating system ifyou have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE: Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 10%or more of the total area of the wetland unit being rated. If the area of the class listed in column 2 is less than 10%of the unit,classify the wetland using the class that represents more than 90%of the total area.
