Joanne Bartlett, SPWS Professional Biologist Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan iii Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 INTRODUCTION Ecological Land Services, Inc. (ELS) was contracted by Kings Homes to complete a wetland delineation and ordinary high water determination for the property on Old Belfair Highway, Mason County Parcel Number 123174300070, within a portion of Section 17, Township 23 North, Range I West of the Willamette Meridian, in Belfair, Washington (figure 1). The property is within 200 feet of the Union River,which is a shoreline of the state. This report summarizes the findings of the wetland delineation according to the Mason County Code (MCC) Section 8.52.110 - Wetlands for delineation methodology,wetland categorization,and required buffer widths,which is incorporated into Chapter 17.50 Shoreline Master Program. METHODOLOGY WETLAND DELINEATION The wetland delineation followed the Routine Determination Method according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wetland Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast Region, Version 2.0 (U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center 2010). The Routine Determination Method examines three parameters—vegetation,soils,and hydrology— to determine if wetlands exist in a given area. Hydrology is critical in determining what is a wetland but is often difficult to assess because hydrologic conditions can change periodically(hourly, daily, or seasonally). Consequently,it is necessary to determine if hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils are present, which would indicate that water is present for a long enough duration to support a wetland plant community. By definition,wetlands are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands are regulated as "Waters of the United States" by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers(USACE),as"Waters of the State"by the Washington Department of Ecology(Ecology), and locally by Mason County. To verify the wetland boundary onsite,ELS biologists collected data at six test plots on vegetation, hydrology,and soils(Appendix A). The site visit was conducted on January 28,2022,during which one onsite wetland(Wetland A)and two offsite wetlands(Offsite Wetlands 1 and 2)were identified. The boundary of the wetlands was delineated using consecutively numbered fluorescent flags labeled"WETLAND DELINEATION." The offsite wetlands were not flagged but their boundaries were determined using offsite delineation methodology to show them on the project figures. Wetland boundaries were determined through breaks in topography, changes in vegetation, and evidence of surface hydrology. OHWM DETERMINATION The ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of the two onsite streams was determined according to guidance from the Washington State Department of Ecology document,Determining the Ordinary High Water Mark for Shoreline Management Act Compliance in Washington State(Anderson et.al. 2016). The OHWM is defined as a mark "on all lakes, streams, and tidal waters . . .found by examining the bed and banks and ascertaining where the presence and action of waters are so Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan I Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 common and usual, and so long continued in all ordinary years, as to mark upon the soil a character distinct from that of the abutting upland, in respect to vegetation" (Anderson et. al. 2016). In essence,the OHWM is determined by assessing three main criteria: 1) the presence or evidence of hydrology, 2) the soil, substrate, and/or geomorphological changes, and 3) changes in vegetation. Indicators for each criterion differ depending on the environment (lake, stream, tidal). The main indicators used to discern the OHWM onsite were change in vegetation from salt tolerant vegetation to salt sensitive species,tidal channels,breaks in topography,and changes in soil and substrate. The OHWM of the Union River was estimated based on aerial photo review because it is located offsite. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The 4.05-acre irregularly shaped property is located in Belfair,Mason County, Washington, east of Old Belfair Highway (Figure 1). Topography generally slopes down from north to south and west to east. The access to the property is located near the southwest corner and extends east from Old Belfair Highway (Figure 2). A garage is located near the mid-way point of the south property boundary and is the only development onsite (Photoplate 1). The rest of the property is vegetated with a mix of deciduous trees in the canopy and shrubs in the understory (Photoplates 1 and 2). Trash is scattered throughout the shrubs(Photoplate 1). Historically, the property was cleared of vegetation to what is currently delineated as the southern boundary of Wetland A. The clearing is visible starting in March 2005 when it appears that most of the west half was clear of vegetation, and a cross property ditch can be seen near the southern boundary of Wetland A (Photoplate 3). The clearing is also extensive and visible in the July 2006 photo and encompasses most of the proposed building site. The clearing remains evident up through 2021 although it had become smaller because of recovery of invasive species and young alder trees (Photoplates 4 and 5). The clearing was apparently conducted for development of the property and in or about 2006,the garage was constructed(Photoplate 3). Wetland A was identified onsite and makes up the north end of the property(Figure 2). Wetland A is a depressional wetland with a Type Ns stream that serves as an outlet (Photoplate 2). The Type Ns stream runs west to east along the southern wetland boundary and connects to the Type F stream that runs north to south near the east property boundary (Photoplate 2). The Type F stream flows offsite to the southeast and is a tributary of the Union River. The Union River is located offsite to the east (Figure 2). Two offsite wetlands, Offsite Wetland 1 and 2, were identified during the site visit. Offsite Wetland 1 is a depressional wetland located south of the property and outlets to the Union River. Offsite Wetland 2 is a slope wetland located west of Old Belfair Highway and outlets through a culvert onto the property(Figure 2). DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL The property is zoned Rural Residential 5(RR5),allowing for one single-family home per five acres. The surrounding properties are zoned similarly and developed with single family homes.The project proposes to develop the property with a single-family residence and associated septic drainfield in the area of clearing that was created in 2004-2005 in preparation of home construction. The garage was constructed first in its present location in 2006 (Photoplate 3). The residence is proposed in a portion of the clearing near Old Belfair Highway and north of the existing garage in the only feasible location onsite given the buffer and yard setback constraints (Figure 3) (Photoplate 1). In addition to developing a single-family home the project proposes to clean up the property by removing Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 2 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 invasive Himalayan blackberry and the trash scattered around the property (Photoplate 1). The blackberry and trash were removed during site planning and to open up the proposed building site. Mitigation in the form of plant installation and natural vegetation restoration is proposed to compensate for the critical area buffer impacts. VEGETATION WETLAND VEGETATION Wetland A is a forested system with a canopy dominated by red alder (Alnus rubra, FAC). The shrub layer was dominated by salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, FAC), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, FAC). Cover by emergent species was dense in some portions of the wetland and sparse in others; this stratum was dominated by slough sedge (Carex obnupta, OBL), water parsley(Oenanthe sarmentosa,OBL)horsetail(Equisetum arvense, FAC). Offsite Wetlands 1 and 2 were dominated by multi-layer forested communities including red alder, western red cedar in the canopy; salmonberry and Himalayan blackberry in the shrub layer and a sparse herbaceous layer that could not be identified through observations from the subject property. UPLAND VEGETATION The upland vegetation onsite consisted of mixed deciduous and coniferous forest dominated by red alder and western red cedar in the canopy; Himalayan blackberry dominating the shrub layer; and scattered sword fern(Polystichum munitum,FACU)and creeping buttercup in the herbaceous layer. The dominant vegetation found onsite is recorded on the attached wetland determination data forms (Appendix A).The indicator status,following the common and scientific names,indicates how likely a species is to be found in wetlands. Listed from most likely to least likely to be found in wetlands, the indicator status categories are: ■ OBL(obligate wetland)—Ahnost always occur in wetlands. ■ FACW(facultative wetland)—Usually occur in wetlands but may occur in non-wetlands. ■ FAC (facultative)—Occur in wetlands and non-wetlands. ■ FACU(facultative upland)—Usually occur in non-wetlands but may occur in wetlands. ■ UPL (obligate upland)—Almost never occur in wetlands. ■ NI(no indicator)—Status not yet determined. SOILS As referenced on the Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS 2022b)website,Belfast sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes(BA),Norma silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes (Ne), and Saxon silt loam, 5 to 15 percent slopes(Sa),are mapped on the property(Figure 4). Belfast soils are deep,moderately well drained soils formed in alluvium with seasonally high water tables between November and March. Norma soils are deep, poorly drained soils formed in old alluvium with a high water table year round,particularly high between November and April. Norma soils are hydric. Saxon soils are deep, moderately well drained soils formed in glacio-lacustrine sediments and do not have a high water table. Neither Belfast nor Saxon soils are classified as hydric (MRCS 2022a)1. t Areas mapped as hydric soils do not necessarily mean that an area is or is not a wetland—hydrology,hydrophytic vegetation,and hydric soils must all be present to classify an area as a wetland. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 3 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 WETLAND SOILS Soil data in Wetland A could not be collected because of the standing water throughout the wetland. When the shovel was placed into the soil below the standing water a hydrogen sulfide smell released meeting hydric soil indicator Hydrogen Sulfide (A4). Soil profiles were not observed in either of the offsite wetlands. UPLAND SOILS Test Plots 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 were conducted in the upland. Test Plots 1 and 2 consisted of single- layer, 16 inch deep,profiles of very dark grayish brown(1 OYR 3/2)sandy loam. Test Plot 3 revealed a multilayer soil profile with dark brown(I OYR 3/3)silt loam to 8 inches depth and dark yellowish brown(1 OYR 3/4) silt loam subsurface layer to 16 inches of depth with charcoal throughout. Test Plot 5 revealed a multilayer and mixed matrix soil profile. The surface layer was to 10 inches of depth and consisted of dark brown(I OYR 3/3)silt loam. The subsurface layer consisted of a mixed matrix of 80 percent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/3) silt loam, 15 percent gray (10YR 5/1) silt loam, and 5 percent yellow(I OYR 5/6) silt loam. Test Plot 6 revealed a multilayer soil profile with dark grayish brown(I OYR 3/2)gravelly sandy loam to 6 inches of depth. The first subsurface layer to 14 inches of depth was dark brown (I OYR 3/3) gravelly sandy loam and the second subsurface layer was grey (10YR 5/1) silty clay with 2 percent yellowish brown (7.5YR 5/6) redoximorphic concentrations. Test Plots 1, 2, 3, and 5 did not meet hydric soil indicators because their matrix chromas were too high. Test Plot 6 did not meet hydric soil indicators because the depleted layer began too deep in the soil profile. HYDROLOGY Wetland A is a depressional system with seasonally flooded, saturated only,and seasonally flowing stream hydroperiods. Hydrology was observed in Wetland A as standing water, saturation to the soil surface, and a high water table. The primary source of water for Wetland A is a seasonally high water table but it also receives water from direct precipitation and discharge from the culvert on the west side (Figure 2). Water leaves Wetland A at southeast corner where it discharges through a Type Ns stream and then into the Type F stream. The wetland may also lose some water via evapotranspiration. Offsite Wetland 1 is a depressional system with a seasonally flooded hydroperiod and receives its water primarily through a seasonally high water table and direct precipitation. Water leaves the wetland through an intermittently flowing outlet to the southeast and into the Union River. Offsite Wetland 2 is a slope system with a saturated only hydroperiod. The primary source of hydrology to Offsite Wetland 2 is groundwater discharge and direct precipitation. Water leaves Offsite Wetland 2 through a culvert at the east end and flows under Old Belfair Highway and into Wetland A. Water also leaves through evapotranspiration. Two streams were identified onsite. A Type Ns stream flows west to east along the south boundary of Wetland A and serves as an outlet for Wetland A. The stream flows east into the Type F stream which flows north to south across the property. The Type F stream flows offsite to the southeast and empties into the Union River. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 4 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 CRITICAL AREAS INVENTORY2 NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps a riverine wetland (R3UBH) offsite to the east and crossing the property at the southeast corner and a freshwater forested/shrub(PSSC)wetland offsite to the west(Figure 5)(USFWS 2022). The NWI does not map Wetland A. ELS biologists identified a Type F stream onsite in a similar orientation to the NWI mapped riverine wetland. The NWI does not map Offsite Wetland 1, but ELS biologists identified Offsite Wetland 2 where the freshwater forested/shrub wetland was mapped. MASON COUNTY CRITICAL AREAS MAP The Mason County Critical Areas map (MC 2022) is based on the NRCS hydric soils map and the NWI map. The MC map identifies FEMA floodplain, the NWI mapped wetlands, and the Union River,offsite to the east(Figure 6). MC does not map Wetland A. ELS did not directly observe the Union River east of the property,but it appears to be present based on contour mapping. CONCLUSIONS WETLAND CATEGORIZATION Wetland A and Offsite Wetlands 1 and 2 were rated by functions according to Washington State Wetlands Rating System for Western Washington-2014 Update (Rating System) (Hruby 2014, Appendix B). Wetland A is Category I1 forested with three layers depressional system with seasonally flooded, saturated only, and seasonally flowing stream hydroperiods. Offsite Wetland 1 is a Category H forested with three layers, depressional system with a seasonally flooded hydroperiod. Offsite Wetland 2 is a Category III forested, forested with three layers slope system with a saturated only hydroperiod. The ratings are shown in Table 1. Table 1.

Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 5 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 WETLAND AND SHORELINE BUFFER REGULATIONS The MCC Chapter 8.52.110(E)(2) specifies wetland buffers based on wetland category, the scores for habitat functions, and proposed land-use intensity. Wetland A and Offsite Wetland 1 are Category II wetlands, and the proposed land use is moderate, resulting in 110-foot buffers (Table 8.52.110(D)) for each. Offsite Wetland 2 is a Category III wetland with a I I0-foot buffer. The buffer for Offsite Wetland 2 is functionally isolated at Old Belfair Highway and does not extend onsite(Figure 2). The property is within 200 feet of the floodway from the Union River, which is a shoreline of the state. The shoreline designation for this area is Shoreline Residential(Figure 6),which requires 150- foot buffer from the OHWM per MCC Table 17.50.110-A (Figure 2). The buffer for the Type F stream is 150 feet and the buffer for the Type Ns stream is 75 feet(Figure 2). A structural setback line of 15 feet is required from the edge of the wetland, stream, and shoreline buffers.

BUFFER REDUCTIONS Wetlands The project proposes the single-family home in the only feasible location due to buffer and yard setback constraints. Should buffer reductions be required to construct the proposed residence, the MCC Chapter 8.52.1 10(E)(2)(c)allows for wetland buffer averaging,whereby the buffer is reduced in one location and the same area added in another location. Buffer averaging is allowed if there are no other feasible alternatives for reasonable use of the properties and if the proposed buffer modification will not degrade the wetlands' functions. Additionally, the total buffer areas must be equal to the area of the standard buffer before averaging. The narrowest point of the buffer cannot be below three-fourths of the required standard buffer width. A Mason Environmental Permit Application is required to utilize buffer averaging. If buffer averaging does not provide buildable area, a variance or RUE will be required. Streams There are two streams flowing across portions of this property. Stream 1 enters the east property line in north half and flows southerly across the eastern half. It exits the property near the southeast corner and appears to eventually flow into the Union River further to the south. Stream 2 is a smaller stream that exits the southeast corner of Wetland A and flows into Stream 1. The project is within the buffer of Stream 1 and outside the buffer of Stream 2. Construction of the home within the stream buffer is being proposed through the formal variance process along with the wetland buffer reduction. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 6 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 Shoreline and Floodplain The property is within 200 feet of the Union River, which is a shoreline of the state, as measured from the mapped floodway (Figure 2). The shoreline designation for this area is Shoreline Residential (Figure 6),which requires a 150-foot buffer from the OHWM, plus a 15-foot structural setback for freshwater streams (Figures 2 and 3). Shoreline jurisdiction as measured from the floodway extends across the entire southern three quarters of the property(Figure 2). The floodplain of the Union River lies across the southeast corner and extends into the east edge of the proposed building site. The project is outside the buffers from the Union River and outside the floodway,but the mapped floodplain extends into the proposed homesite. Shoreline Variance There is not enough buildable area for a single-family home on the property outside of the shoreline jurisdiction, stream, and wetland buffers, so this project will proceed through the variance or reasonable use exception (RUE)process. The applicant must demonstrate that the variance criteria in MCC 15.09.057 are met,and mitigation will be required to ensure no net loss of functions for the wetland. The RUE process typically requires a public hearing and comment period, however, depending on the proposal some applications may be reviewed administratively. It is highly recommended that early communication is established with the county if it does not appear there is a buildable area outside of the buffers and setbacks. The county will also require a habitat management plan for stream or wetland buffer reductions. LISTED SPECIES AND HABITATS IN THE PROJECT VICINITY The potential presence of listed species, including fish, bird, and mammals that have a primary association with the habitat of the western stream was evaluated by a site visit, aerial photographs, the WDFW Priority Habitats and Species website(WDFW 2022),the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS 2022) Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) website, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-NOAA Protected Resources App (NOAA Fisheries 2022).

Hood Canal Summer-run chum and steelhead are found within the Union River, which more than 150 feet from the proposed project. The USFWS Information for Planning and Conservation(1PaC) website report indicates that bull trout may be within the proximity of the property but there is no confirmed use by this species within the Union River as indicated by the WDFW websites(WDFW 2002a and 2022b). BIRDS Research conducted for this project shows that the property does not have habitat for marbled murrelet and yellow-billed cuckoo(WDFW-PHS 2022). There does not appear to be suitable habitat for either species on this property. PLANTS The Washington Department of Natural Resources, Natural Heritage Program website (WANHP 2020) lists 20 rare plant species that occur within Mason County. None of the listed species are found on this property. Overall,the plant species listed require specialized habitats such as alpine areas, along lakes and ponds, and along slow flowing streams, that do not occur on or within 200 feet of the property. CRITICAL HABITAT The Union River is listed as critical habitat for Puget Sound DPS of steelhead and the Hood Canal Summer-rum ESU for chum salmon (NOAA 2022). There is no critical habitat in the proximity of the property for bull trout, the listed birds, or butterfly species(USFWS 2022). MITIGATION SEQUENCING 1. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action. This property is significantly constrained by a series of critical areas and buffers. The project has avoided impacts to the onsite buffers to the extent possible but cannot avoid the 150-foot buffer from the Type F stream across the east half of the property. It also cannot avoid the 110-foot buffer from Offsite Wetland 1, which lies on the property immediately south and Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 8 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 blocked by the existing garage. The project has been designed to avoid the buffer of Wetland A,which is onsite and north of the homesite,and to avoid impacts to the buffer from the Union River. 2. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation by using appropriate technology or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce impacts. The project has been designed to minimize impacts to the on and offsite critical areas buffers by proposing the home in the historic clearing in the southwest corner. The clearing was created in the early 2000's most likely in preparation of development of a single-family home. It appears that the garage was constructed at that time, but the home was not. There is an existing driveway access from Old Belfair Highway that leads to the existing garage. The homesite is proposed in the cleared area and just north of the garage where it can minimize vegetation impacts within the buffer. This location also minimizes the impacts to the 110-foot buffer of Offsite Wetland 1 because the garage is located between this wetland and the homesite. The garage represents a break in the onsite buffer function. The project further minimizes impacts by utilizing the existing driveway and placing the drainfield in the southwest corner, which is the portion of the property furthest from all critical areas. 3. Rectifying the impact by repairing,rehabilitating,or restoring the affected environment. The project proposes a permanent structure in addition to the existing garage so there is no opportunity to rectify the impact. Instead, the project will be enhancing the buffers of the streams and wetlands to compensate for the proposed impacts. 4. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations. The project proposes a permanent structure, and the impacts cannot be reduced or eliminated through preservation or maintenance activities. 5. Compensating for the impact by replacing,enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments. This project proposes to enhance historically cleared buffers by removing invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry and planting native trees and shrubs. Additionally, areas of existing native plants, which include red alder, salmonberry, and red elderberry, will be allowed to undergo continued natural restoration through maintenance of invasive plant species. A total area of 8,592 square feet of impact is proposed,which includes the new house, drainfield, and a small yard area (excludes a portion of the existing driveway and the existing garage). The yard area is necessary to connect the future home with the existing garage. The area is already cleared so will not result in loss of buffer function. Plant installation is proposed within 6,000 square feet of the historically cleared area just north of the proposed home and 20,485 square feet of natural vegetation restoration throughout the remainder of the Wetland A and Stream 1 buffers. The ratio of mitigation for this project when combining the planted and naturally restored areas is 3.08:1 for wetland and stream buffer impacts. 6. Monitoring the impact and the compensation projects and taking appropriate corrective measures. The mitigation plan includes specifications for monitoring over a period of 5 years following implementation. The monitoring will track the development of the desired forested buffer in Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 9 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 the enhancement and restoration areas as well as tracking the coverage by invasive species. A maintenance plan is also included to ensure that the cover by invasive species is kept low. IMPACT ANALYSIS Buffer Impacts The proposed home is located in the south half of the property, which currently contains a garage that was sited within the clearing at the southwest corner(Photoplates 3, 4, and 5). It appears that the garage was constructed sometime between August of 2006 and May of 2009 and remains in the same location. The home is proposed directly north of the garage so that it can also be sited within the historic clearing and has direct access from Old Belfair Highway (Figure 3). The proposed homesite has been selected because it utilizes the historic clearing and has the least amount of impact to shorelines of the state, critical areas, and buffers. Further, the building site selection puts the home mostly outside the buffer of Wetland A and locates it so that the garage lies between the offsite wetland and the home. Placing the home in a different location would result in additional impacts to the buffers from all the onsite critical areas. Clearing limits have been established along the edge of the 15-foot building setback,which has been around the home footprint. It includes a small area of yard between the future home and garage. The impact areas including the homesite and the proposed yard,totals 0.28 acres and 7 percent of this 4.05 acre property. Critical Area Impacts This project is proposed outside of all critical areas so has avoided all direct impacts. The project will also have few indirect impacts to the on and offsite critical areas as outlined below: • Union River The Union River is a water of the state and is located almost 300 feet from the proposed homesite and most of that area is composed of forest that provides high quality buffer. Additionally,there is a ditch and Stream 1 between the homesite, and the 150-foot buffer established from the OHWM of the river. The project will have no adverse direct or indirect impacts to the Union River because the project is almost 300 feet from the river, the vegetation within most of the stream buffer will remain composed of conifer forest,and there is a ditch plus Stream 1 between the homesite and river. The buffer of Stream 1 will be allowed to undergo natural vegetation restoration to improve the functions for both the stream and the Union River. • Stream 1 This Type F enters the property from the northeast and crosses the southeast corner. It comes closest to the northeast corner of the proposed home then curves to the southeast away from the home and there is a manmade ditch between the home and Stream 1. This project will have no direct or indirect impacts to Stream 1 because the ditch between the homesite and stream will prevent stormwater from entering the stream. It will instead convey it southerly and into Offsite Wetland 1,which then appears to flow toward the Union River offsite to the south. The proposed mitigation will facilitate improvement of the existing buffer, which will increase the function and further avoid indirect impacts to the stream. • Offsite Wetland I This wetland is a small depressional area that lies just south of the property. It is a Category II because it is situated in a depression and the 110-foot buffer extends across the southwest corner of the property. The project will have no indirect impacts on this offsite wetland because there is a manmade ditch just south of the existing garage that will prevent direct discharge of runoff Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 10 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 into the wetland. Additionally, the existing garage physically interrupts the function of the wetland buffer and eliminates the potential impact of construction within this wetland buffer. Wetland A Wetland A will not be indirectly impacted by the homesite despite the home being partially in the I I0-foot buffer because it will be in an existing clearing downslope of the wetland. Natural vegetation restoration and installation of native plants is also proposed within the southern buffer of Wetland A to improve functions and further reduce indirect impacts of noise and light. BUFFER MITIGATION PLAN The project proposes to facilitate natural vegetation restoration and install native plants within the historically cleared areas. Natural vegetation restoration will take place east of the proposed home on both sides of the ditch and just south of the southern tip of Wetland A for a total area of 20,485 square feet (Figure 4). Native plant installation is proposed north and south of the proposed home and totals 6,000 square feet. Buffer Mitigation Proposal Native Plant Installation Plant installation is proposed just north of the homesite and extends easterly to Stream 1. This area had the highest density of Himalayan blackberry thickets and the lowest cover by native plants, so plant installation was deemed the best way to improve the buffer function. About 275 native trees, shrubs, and ferns will be installed in this area following thorough removal of invasive plant species. Native volunteers are expected as well and will contribute to the improvement of the buffer functions. Natural Vegetation Restoration Natural vegetation restoration is proposed in areas where native plants are actively growing and providing cover and function with the buffer. These areas have lower coverage by invasive plants and higher coverage by native volunteers that include red alder,salmonberry, red elderberry, Indian plum, and sword fern in addition to other native species. Specifications for Site Preparation The tasks listed below will achieve the buffer mitigation goals and objectives. These tasks are listed in the order they are anticipated to occur; however, some tasks may occur concurrently or may precede other tasks due to site and procedural constraints. Buffer Mitigation Area 1. Identify the extent of the 6,000 square foot planting area and the 20,485 square feet of natural vegetation restorations. 2. Mark the clearing limits with orange construction fencing to identify the extent of the project and the start of the mitigation areas. 3. Install the plants per the mitigation plant list and spread woody mulch as needed to support the health and growth of the plants. 4. Conduct as built to identify extent of mitigation areas and installation of native plants as well as to identify species within the natural vegetation restoration areas. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 1 l Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 Goals, Objectives, and Performance Standards Project Goal: Improve buffer function to compensate for proposed buffer impacts. Objective 1: Increase native plant cover and buffer function. Performance Standard 1(a): The installed plants will maintain 90 percent survival during the first year of monitoring. During subsequent years,the project will maintain 80 percent survival until plant cover becomes too dense to distinguish individuals. Plant numbers will be recorded annually and compared to as-built conditions for inclusion in monitoring reports. Per Standard 1(b): Native installed and volunteer species in the planted areas will provide a minimum of 10 percent cover in Year 1, 10 to 15 percent cover in Year 2, 15 to 20 percent cover in Year 3, 25 to 35 percent in Year 4, and 40 to 50 percent cover in Year 5. Plant species and percent cover will be recorded annually and included in monitoring reports. Performance Standard 1(c): The natural vegetation restoration areas will be monitored by identifying and estimating the cover of each species in each monitoring unit. The coverages will be determined following collection of baseline data because there is a high percentage of red alder and the monitoring will track the presence of additional plant species as observed during the as built and each yearly monitoring visit. Objective 2: Control invasive species Per Standard 2(a): Invasive plant cover in the restoration area will not be greater than 15 percent cover during the entire 5-year monitoring period. Invasive species including but not limited to Himalayan blackberry, Scotch broom, morning glory, English ivy, and reed canarygrass will be removed as often as necessary to meet this standard. Planting Specifications Planting will begin in the fall or winter following approval from Mason County and construction of the home. Plants will be installed per the attached buffer mitigation plan (Figure 4). Table 4 provides a list of plants proposed for installation within the wetland and buffer. Planting will be focused in areas that are bare or sparsely vegetated. Plants indicated on the planting plan are subject to availability and may be substituted with similarly performing native plants. The final location of plants may differ from the planting plan as site conditions dictate, and any changes will be documented on the as-built drawing prepared after completion of plant installation. Plant Installation Specifications 1. Plant the specified species in the fall or winter following approval as listed in Table 4. Space the plants somewhat irregularly and in groups to create eventual dense heterogeneity in the planting area, leaving enough space between each group to allow for maintenance. Plant potted stock with a tree shovel or comparable too. 2. Place the plants in the planting holes and position the root crowns so that they are at, or slightly below the level of surrounding soil. Planting just below the surrounding soil will create a shallow depression for the retention of water. 3. Firmly compact the soil around the planted species to eliminate air spaces. 4. Irrigate newly installed plants as site and weather conditions warrant. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 12 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 Table 4.

Monitoring reports will be submitted to the Mason County Department of Community Development (MCDCD) by December 31 of each monitored year. The goal of monitoring is to determine if the previously stated performance standards are being met. The buffer mitigation areas will be monitored once during the growing season, preferably during the same two-week period each year to better compare the data. Monitoring units will be established within the mitigation area to record data regarding survival rate, native plant cover, and invasive plant cover. These units will represent the entire mitigation area. Photo stations will be established from several locations within the mitigation area to visually document the changes that occur in the buffer during the 5-year monitoring period. The goal of monitoring is to determine if the previously stated performance standards are being met. The restoration area will be monitored once during the growing season,preferably during the same two-week period each year to better compare the data. Monitoring reports will be submitted to Mason County Department of Community Development by December 3 1"of each monitored year. At a minimum,the following items will be included in the report: As built An as built report shall be prepared upon completion of the plant installation to verify that the mitigation plan was implemented as approved.A series of site visits may be needed to document the before and after conditions and to establish monitoring units and photo stations. Baseline data will be collected in the monitoring units and photos taken during the final as built visit that will be used to track the success of the mitigation plan. The as built report will also document whether any plant substitutions were needed due to lack of availability of one or more of the specified plants. Six to eight monitoring units will be established in the mitigation areas and eight to twelve photo stations will be set up around the mitigation area to track the progress of the vegetation. Monitoring Report Contents The annual monitoring reports will contain at least the following: ■ Location map and representation drawing ■ Historic description of project, including dates of plant installed,current year of monitoring, and restatement of goals,objectives, and performance standards. ■ Description of monitoring methods. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 13 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 ■ Documentation of plant cover and overall development of plant communities. ■ Assessment of non-native,invasive plan species and recommendations for management. ■ Photographs from permanent photo points. ■ Summary of maintenance and contingency measures completed for the past season and proposed for the next season. Fencing Two to three rail split cedar fencing will be installed around the homesite once construction is completed. The fence will protect the mitigation areas from human intrusion and allow the vegetation to grow unhindered. Buffer boundary signs may also be required by Mason County as part of the permit conditions. Maintenance Plan Maintenance of the planted and natural vegetation restoration areas will occur for five years and will involve controlling invasive plant species, irrigating planted species, and reinstalling failed plantings,as necessary. The maintenance methods will include the following activities as necessary. 1. Remove and control non-native vegetation including but not limited to Japanese knotweed and Himalayan blackberry around the newly installed plants a minimum of two times during the growing season or as conditions warrant to achieve performance standards. 2. Irrigate planted species as necessary during the dry season, approximately July 1 through October 15. ELS recommends that watering occur at least once every two weeks during the dry season for the first three years. A temporary irrigation system is recommended, but watering may also be conducted by hand using a hose with a sprayer or a common household sprinkler. 3. Fertilize planted species as necessary. Contingency Plan If the performance standards are not met at any point during the monitoring or by the fifth year following project completion, a contingency plan will be developed and implemented. All contingency actions will be undertaken only after consulting and gaining approval from the Mason County Department of Community Development. The applicant will be required to complete a contingency plan that describes (1) the cause of failure, (2) proposed corrective actions, (3) a schedule for completing corrective actions, and(4)whether additional maintenance and monitoring are necessary. Should monitoring reveal that few if any native plants are volunteering in the natural vegetation restoration areas, plant installation may be needed in these areas and will include coniferous species in order to create a trend toward a conifer forest buffer. NO NET LOSS ASSESSMENT This project has avoided and minimized the buffer impacts to the extent possible and through mitigation in the form of buffer enhancement, is compensating for the impacts and achieving no net loss of buffer functions. There will be no direct impacts to any of the critical areas that occur on or within 300 feet of the property. The indirect impacts are minimal because there are features including ditches that prevent the discharge of storlmwater directly into the streams and wetlands. The mitigation in the form of plant installation and natural vegetation restoration is proposed to improve the function of the buffers that have been disturbed by clearing and maintenance over the past 15 to 20 years. The goal is the buffer functions increase over the current functions through the Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. Habitat Management Plan 14 Revised April 6,2023,April 4,2022 establishment of native vegetation and natural recruitment. The mitigation will allow the project to achieve no net loss of buffer functions. LONG TERM MANAGEMENT PLAN The buffer mitigation area will be maintained over the 5-year monitoring period to keep the invasive cover low in order to establish the forested conditions in the mitigation area. Management of the mitigation area should continue to ensure that the plants remain healthy and actively growing and keep the invasive plant coverage low. SITE PROTECTION A split rail fence will be established around the mitigation area to denote the limits of the actively used areas of the property. Buffer boundary signs shall be installed along the fence 25 and 50 feet apart. LIMITATIONS ELS bases this report's determinations on standard scientific methodology and best professional judgment.

If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated,you probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case, identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply,and go to Question 8. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods? NO go to 2 YES-the wetland class is Tidal Fringe-go to 1.1 1.1 Is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt(parts per thousand)? NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) YES-Freshwater Tidal Fringe Ifyour wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to score functions for estuarine wetlands. 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. Pyolur go to 3 YES-The wetland class is Flats wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? _The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any plants on the surface at any time of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size; _At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m). NO go to 4 YES-The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? The wetland is on a slope (slope can be verygradual), 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. NO go to 5 YES-The wetland class is Slope NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually<3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft deep). S. Does the entire wetland unit meet 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 2 years. Wetland Rating System for Western WA:2014 Update 3 Rating Form-Effective January 1,2015 Wetland name or number: A Qgo to 6 YES-The wetland class is Riverine NOTE: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding 6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface,at sometime during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior of the wetland. NO -go to 7 YES The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with 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 Depressional 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 if you have several HGM classes present within the wetland unit being scored. 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 HGM 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. HGM classes within the wetland unit HGM class to being rated use in rating Slope+ Riverine Riverine Slope + Depressional Depressional Slope + Lake Fringe Lake Fringe Depressional + Riverine along stream Depressional within boundary of depression Depressional+ Lake Fringe Depressional Riverine+ Lake Fringe Riverine Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other Treat as class of freshwater wetland ESTUARINE If you are still unable to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or if you have more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated,you probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case,identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply,and go to Question 8. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods? NO go to 2 YES-the wetland class is Tidal Fringe-go to 1.1 1.1 s the to of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt(parts per thousand)? NO -Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) YES-Freshwater Tidal Fringe If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to score functions for estuarine wetlands. 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. NO go to 3 YES-The wetland class is Flats our wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? _The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any plants on the surface at any time of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size; _At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m). NO go to 4 YES-The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? The wetland is on a slope (slope can be verygradual), 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. NO go to 5 YES-The wetland class is Slope TE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually<3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft deep). S. Does the entire wetland unit meet 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 2 years. Wetland Rating System for Western WA:2014 Update 3 Rating Form-Effective January 1,2015 Wetland name or number: Offsite Wetland 1 iTEgo to 6 YES-The wetland class is Riverine: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding 6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface,at sometime during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior of the wetland. NO -go to 7 YE -The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with 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 Depressional 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 if you have several HGM classes present within the wetland unit being scored. 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 HGM 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. HGM classes within the wetland unit HGM class to being rated use in rating Slope+ Riverine Riverine Slope + Depressional Depressional Slope + Lake Fringe Lake Fringe Depressional + Riverine along stream Depressional within boundary of depression Depressional+ Lake Fringe Depressional Riverine+ Lake Fringe Riverine Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other Treat as class of freshwater wetland ESTUARINE If you are still unable to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or if you have more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

If the hydrologic criteria listed in each question do not apply to the entire unit being rated,you probably have a unit with multiple HGM classes. In this case,identify which hydrologic criteria in questions 1-7 apply,and go to Question 8. 1. Are the water levels in the entire unit usually controlled by tides except during floods? ago to 2 YES-the wetland class is Tidal Fringe-go to 1.1 1.1 Is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per thousand)? NO-Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine) YES- Freshwater Tidal Fringe Ifyour wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is an Estuarine wetland and is not scored. This method cannot be used to score functions for estuarine wetlands. 2. The entire wetland unit is flat and precipitation is the only source (>90%) of water to it. Groundwater and surface water runoff are NOT sources of water to the unit. P go to 3 YES-The wetland class is Flats ur wetland can be classified as a Flats wetland, use the form for Depressional wetlands. 3. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? _The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any plants on the surface at any time of the year) at least 20 ac (8 ha) in size; _At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m). DNO go to 4 YES-The wetland class is Lake Fringe (Lacustrine Fringe) 4. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? X The wetland is on a slope (slope can be verygradual), X 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, XThe water leaves the wetland without being impound d. NO -go to 5 YES The wetland class is Slope NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually<3 ft diameter and less than 1 ft deep). S. Does the entire wetland unit meet 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 2 years. Wetland Rating System for Western WA:2014 Update 3 Rating Form-Effective January 1,2015 Wetland name or number: Offsite Wetland 2 NO-go to 6 YES-The wetland class is Riverine NOTE: The Riverine unit can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is not flooding 6. Is the entire wetland unit in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface,at sometime during the year? This means that any outlet, if present, is higher than the interior of the wetland. NO -go to 7 YES-The wetland class is Depressional 7. Is the entire wetland unit located in a very flat area with 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 Depressional 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 if you have several HGM classes present within the wetland unit being scored. 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 HGM 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. HGM classes within the wetland unit HGM class to being rated use in rating Slope+ Riverine Riverine Slope + Depressional Depressional Slope + Lake Fringe Lake Fringe Depressional + Riverine along stream Depressional within boundary of depression Depressional+ Lake Fringe Depressional Riverine +Lake Fringe Riverine Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other Treat as class of freshwater wetland ESTUARINE Ifyou are still unable to determine which of the above criteria apply to your wetland, or ifyou have more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as Depressional for the rating.

NOTE: Do not send your completed form to this address. Privacy Act Statement Authority:Title 44 CFR§61.7 and 61.8. Principal Purpose(s):This information is being collected for the primary purpose of estimating the risk premium rates necessary to provide flood insurance for new or substantially improved structures in designated Special Flood Hazard Areas. Routine Use(s):The information on this form may be disclosed as generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. §552a(b)of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This includes using this information as necessary and authorized by the routine uses published in DHS/ FEMA-003—National Flood Insurance Program Files System or Records Notice 73 Fed. Reg. 77747 (December 19, 2008); DHS/ FEMA/NFIP/LOMA-1 —National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)Letter of Map Amendment(LOMA)System of Records Notice 71 Fed.Reg. 7990(February 15,2006);and upon written request,written consent, by agreement,or as required by law. Disclosure: The disclosure of information on this form is voluntary; however, failure to provide the information requested may result in the inability to obtain flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or the applicant may be subject to higher premium rates for flood insurance. Information will only be released as permitted by law. Purpose of the Elevation Certificate The Elevation Certificate is an important administrative tool of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is to be used to provide elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with community floodplain management ordinances, to determine the proper insurance premium rate, and to support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letter of Map Revision based on fill(LOMR-F). The Elevation Certificate is required in order to properly rate Post-FIRM buildings,which are buildings constructed after publication of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), located in flood insurance Zones Al—A30,AE, AH, A(with BFE), VE, V1—V30, V (with BFE), AR,AR/A,AR/AE,AR/A1—A30,AR/AH, and AR/AO. The Elevation Certificate is not required for Pre-FIRM buildings unless the building is being rated under the optional Post-FIRM flood insurance rules. As part of the agreement for making flood insurance available in a community,the NFIP requires the community to adopt floodplain management regulations that specify minimum requirements for reducing flood losses. One such requirement is for the community to obtain the elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new and substantially improved buildings, and maintain a record of such information.The Elevation Certificate provides a way for a community to document compliance with the community's floodplain management ordinance. Use of this certificate does not provide a waiver of the flood insurance purchase requirement. Only a LOMA or LOMR-F from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)can amend the FIRM and remove the Federal mandate for a lending institution to require the purchase of flood insurance. However, the lending institution has the option of requiring flood insurance even if a LOMA/LOMR-F has been issued by FEMA.The Elevation Certificate may be used to support a LOMA or LOMR-F request. Lowest floor and lowest adjacent grade elevations certified by a surveyor or engineer will be required if the certificate is used to support a LOMA or LOMR-F request. A LOMA or LOMR-F request must be submitted with either a completed FEMA MT-EZ or MT-1 package,whichever is appropriate. This certificate is used only to certify building elevations.A separate certificate is required for floodproofing. Under the NFIP, non- residential buildings can be floodproofed up to or above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).A floodproofed building is a building that has been designed and constructed to be watertight (substantially impermeable to floodwaters) below the BFE. Floodproofing of residential buildings is not permitted under the NFIP unless FEMA has granted the community an exception for residential floodproofed basements. The community must adopt standards for design and construction of floodproofed basements before FEMA will grant a basement exception. For both floodproofed non-residential buildings and residential floodproofed basements in communities that have been granted an exception by FEMA,a floodproofing certificate is required. Additional guidance can be found in FEMA Publication 467-1, Floodplain Management Bulletin: Elevation Certificate, available on FEMA's website at https://www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/3539?id=l 727.

Community officials who are authorized by law or ordinance to provide floodplain management information may also complete this form. For Zones AO and A (without BFE), a community official, a property owner, or an owner's representative may provide information on this certificate, unless the elevations are intended for use in supporting a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F. Certified elevations must be included if the purpose of completing the Elevation Certificate is to obtain a LOMA or LOMR-F. The property owner, the owner's representative, or local official who is authorized by law to administer the community floodplain ordinance can complete Section A and Section B. The partially completed form can then be given to the land surveyor, engineer, or architect to complete Section C. The land surveyor, engineer, or architect should verify the information provided by the property owner or owner's representative to ensure that this certificate is complete. In Puerto Rico only, elevations for building information and flood hazard information may be entered in meters. SECTION A-PROPERTY INFORMATION Items Al-A4.This section identifies the building, its location, and its owner. Enter the name(s)of the building owner(s), the building's complete street address, and the lot and block numbers. If the building's address is different from the owner's address, enter the address of the building being certified. If the address is a rural route or a Post Office box number, enter the lot and block numbers, the tax parcel number, the legal description, or an abbreviated location description based on distance and direction from a fixed point of reference. For the purposes of this certificate, "building" means both a building and a manufactured(mobile)home. A map may be attached to this certificate to show the location of the building on the property. A tax map, FIRM, or detailed community map is appropriate. If no map is available, provide a sketch of the property location, and the location of the building on the property. Include appropriate landmarks such as nearby roads, intersections, and bodies of water. For building use, indicate whether the building is residential, non-residential, an addition to an existing residential or non- residential building, an accessory building (e.g., garage), or other type of structure. Use the Comments area of the appropriate section if needed,or attach additional comments. Item A5. Provide latitude and longitude coordinates for the center of the front of the building. Use either decimal degrees (e.g., 39.5043°, -110.7585°) or degrees, minutes, seconds (e.g., 39' 30' 15.5", -110' 45' 30.7") format. If decimal degrees are used, provide coordinates to at least 5 decimal places or better. When using degrees, minutes, seconds, provide seconds to at least 1 decimal place or better. The latitude and longitude coordinates must be accurate within 66 feet. When the latitude and longitude are provided by a surveyor, check the "Yes" box in Section D and indicate the method used to determine the latitude and longitude in the Comments area of Section D. If the Elevation Certificate is being certified by other than a licensed surveyor, engineer, or architect, this information is not required. Provide the type of datum used to obtain the latitude and longitude. FEMA prefers the use of NAD 1983. Item A6. If the Elevation Certificate is being used to obtain flood insurance through the NFIP, the certifier must provide at least 2 photographs showing the front and rear of the building taken within 90 days from the date of certification. The photographs must be taken with views confirming the building description and diagram number provided in Section A. To the extent possible, these photographs should show the entire building including foundation. If the building has split-level or multi-level areas, provide at least 2 additional photographs showing side views of the building. In addition, when applicable, provide a photograph of the foundation showing a representative example of the flood openings or vents.All photographs must be in color and measure at least 3" x 3". Digital photographs are acceptable. Item A7. Select the diagram on pages 7-9 that best represents the building. Then enter the diagram number and use the diagram to identify and determine the appropriate elevations requested in Items C2.a-h. If you are unsure of the correct diagram, select the diagram that most closely resembles the building being certified. Item A8.a. Provide the square footage of the crawlspace or enclosure(s) below the lowest elevated floor of an elevated building with or without permanent flood openings. Take the measurement from the outside of the crawlspace or enclosure(s). Examples of elevated buildings constructed with crawlspace and enclosure(s)are shown in Diagrams 6-9 FEMA Form 086-0-33(12/19) NFIP Elevation Certificate Instructions— Page 1 of 9 Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate(continued) on pages 8-9. Diagrams 2A, 213,4, and 9 should be used for a building constructed with a crawlspace floor that is below the exterior grade on all sides. Items A8.b—d. Enter in Item A8.b the number of permanent flood openings in the crawlspace or enclosure(s)that are no higher than 1.0 foot above the higher of the exterior or interior grade or floor immediately below the opening. (A permanent flood opening is a flood vent or other opening that allows the free passage of water automatically in both directions without human intervention.) If the interior grade elevation is used, note this in the Comments area of Section D. Estimate the total net area of all such permanent flood openings in square inches, excluding any bars, louvers, or other covers of the permanent flood openings, and enter the total in Item A8.c. If the net area cannot be reasonably estimated, provide the size of the flood openings without consideration of any covers and indicate in the Comments area the type of cover that exists in the flood openings. Indicate in Item A8.d whether the flood openings are engineered. If applicable, attach a copy of the Individual Engineered Flood Openings Certification or an Evaluation Report issued by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC ES), if you have it. If the crawlspace or enclosure(s) have no permanent flood openings, or if the openings are not within 1.0 foot above adjacent grade, enter"N/A"for not applicable in Items A8.b—c. Item A9.a. Provide the square footage of the attached garage with or without permanent flood openings. Take the measurement from the outside of the garage. Items A9.b—d. Enter in Item A9.b the number of permanent flood openings in the attached garage that are no higher than 1.0 foot above the higher of the exterior or interior grade or floor immediately below the opening. (A permanent flood opening is a flood vent or other opening that allows the free passage of water automatically in both directions without human intervention.) If the interior grade elevation is used, note this in the Comments area of Section D. This includes any openings that are in the garage door that are no higher than 1.0 foot above the adjacent grade. Estimate the total net area of all such permanent flood openings in square inches and enter the total in Item A9.c. If the net area cannot be reasonably estimated, provide the size of the flood openings without consideration of any covers and indicate in the Comments area the type of cover that exists in the flood openings. Indicate in Item A9.d whether the flood openings are engineered. If applicable, attach a copy of the Individual Engineered Flood Openings Certification or an Evaluation Report issued by the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC ES), if you have it. If the garage has no permanent flood openings, or if the openings are not within 1.0 foot above adjacent grade, enter"N/A" for not applicable in Items A9.b—c. SECTION B—FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP(FIRM) INFORMATION Complete the Elevation Certificate on the basis of the FIRM in effect at the time of the certification. The information for Section B is obtained by reviewing the FIRM panel that includes the building's location. Information about the current FIRM is available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by calling 1-800-358-9616. If a Letter of Map Amendment(LOMA)or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR-F)has been issued by FEMA, please provide the letter date and case number in the Comments area of Section D or Section G, as appropriate. For a building in an area that has been annexed by one community but is shown on another community's FIRM, enter the community name and 6-digit number of the annexing community in Item 131,the name of the county or new county, if necessary, in Item 132, and the FIRM index date for the annexing community in Item 136. Enter information from the actual FIRM panel that shows the building location, even if it is the FIRM for the previous jurisdiction, in Items 64, 135, 67, B8, and B9. If the map in effect at the time of the building's construction was other than the current FIRM, and you have the past map information pertaining to the building, provide the information in the Comments area of Section D. Item 61. NFIP Community Name & Community Number. Enter the complete name of the community in which the building is located and the associated 6-digit community number.

Item B7. FIRM Panel Effective/Revised Date. Enter the map effective date or the map revised date shown on the FIRM panel. This will be the latest of all dates shown on the map. The current FIRM panel effective date can be determined by calling 1-800-358-9616. Item B8. Flood Zone(s). Enter the flood zone, or flood zones, in which the building is located. All flood zones containing the letter "A" or "V" are considered Special Flood Hazard Areas. The flood zones are A, AE, Al—A30, V, VE, V1—V30, AH, AO,AR, AR/A,AR/AE,AR/A1—A30, AR/AH, and AR/AO. Each flood zone is defined in the legend of the FIRM panel on which it appears. Item B9. Base Flood Elevation(s). Using the appropriate Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Profile, Floodway Data Table, or FIRM panel, locate the property and enter the BFE (or base flood depth) of the building site. If the building is located in more than 1 flood zone in Item B8, list all appropriate BFEs in Item B9. BFEs are shown on a FIRM or FIS Profile for Zones Al—A30,AE,AH, V1—V30, VE,AR,AR/A,AR/AE,AR/A1—A30,AR/AH, and AR/AO; flood depth numbers are shown for Zone AO. Use the AR BFE if the building is located in any of Zones AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1—A30, AR/AH, or AR/AO. In A or V zones where BFEs are not provided on the FIRM, BFEs may be available from another source. For example, the community may have established BFEs or obtained BFE data from other sources for the building site. For subdivisions and other developments of more than 50 lots or 5 acres, establishment of BFEs is required by the community's floodplain management ordinance. If a BFE is obtained from another source, enter the BFE in Item B9. In an A Zone where BFEs are not available, complete Section E and enter N/A for Section B, Item B9. Enter the BFE to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico). Item B10. Indicate the source of the BFE that you entered in Item B9. If the BFE is from a source other than FIS Profile, FIRM, or community, describe the source of the BFE. Item B11. Indicate the elevation datum to which the elevations on the applicable FIRM are referenced as shown on the map legend. The vertical datum is shown in the Map Legend and/or the Notes to Users on the FIRM. Item B12. Indicate whether the building is located in a Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) area or Otherwise Protected Area (OPA). (OPAs are portions of coastal barriers that are owned by Federal, State, or local governments or by certain non-profit organizations and used primarily for natural resources protection.) Federal flood insurance is prohibited in designated CBRS areas or OPAs for buildings or manufactured (mobile) homes built or substantially improved after the date of the CBRS or OPA designation. For the first CBRS designations, that date is October 1, 1983. Information about CBRS areas and OPAs may be obtained on the FEMA web site at http-s_//www fema.gov_/ nation al-flood-i nsurance-proclram/coastal-barrier-resources-system. SECTION C—BUILDING ELEVATION INFORMATION (SURVEY REQUIRED) Complete Section C if the building is located in any of Zones Al—A30, AE, AH, A (with BFE), VE, V1—V30, V (with BFE), AR, AR/A, AR/AE, AR/A1—A30, AR/AH, or AR/AO, or if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F. If the building is located in Zone AO or Zone A (without BFE), complete Section E instead. To ensure that all required elevations are obtained, it may be necessary to enter the building (for instance, if the building has a basement or sunken living room, split-level construction, or machinery and equipment). Surveyors may not be able to gain access to some crawlspaces to shoot the elevation of the crawlspace floor. If access to the crawlspace is limited or cannot be gained, follow one of these procedures. • Use a yardstick or tape measure to measure the height from the floor of the crawlspace to the "next higher floor," and then subtract the crawlspace height from the elevation of the "next higher floor." If there is no access to the FEMA Form 086-0-33 (12/19) NFIP Elevation Certificate Instructions— Page 3 of 9 Instructions for Completing the Elevation Certificate(continued) crawlspace, use the exterior grade next to the structure to measure the height of the crawlspace to the "next higher floor." • Contact the local floodplain administrator of the community in which the building is located.The community may have documentation of the elevation of the crawlspace floor as part of the permit issued for the building. • If the property owner has documentation or knows the height of the crawlspace floor to the next higher floor, try to verify this by looking inside the crawlspace through any openings or vents. In all 3 cases, use the Comments area of Section D to provide the elevation and a brief description of how the elevation was obtained. Item C1. Indicate whether the elevations to be entered in this section are based on construction drawings, a building under construction, or finished construction. For either of the first 2 choices, a post-construction Elevation Certificate will be required when construction is complete. If the building is under construction, include only those elevations that can be surveyed in Items C2.a—h. Use the Comments area of Section D to provide elevations obtained from the construction plans or drawings. Select"Finished Construction" only when all machinery and/or equipment such as furnaces, hot water heaters, heat pumps, air conditioners, and elevators and their associated equipment have been installed and the grading around the building is completed. Item C2. A field survey is required for Items C2.a—h. Most control networks will assign a unique identifier for each benchmark. For example, the National Geodetic Survey uses the Permanent Identifier (PID). For the benchmark utilized, provide the PID or other unique identifier assigned by the maintainer of the benchmark. For GPS survey, indicate the benchmark used for the base station, the Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) sites used for an On-line Positioning User Service (OPUS)solution (also attach the OPUS report), or the name of the Real Time Network used. Also provide the vertical datum for the benchmark elevation. All elevations for the certificate, including the elevations for Items C2.a—h, must use the same datum on which the BFE is based. Show the conversion from the field survey datum used if it differs from the datum used for the BFE entered in Item B9 and indicate the conversion software used. Show the datum conversion, if applicable, in the Comments area of Section D. For property experiencing ground subsidence, the most recent reference mark elevations must be used for determining building elevations. However, when subsidence is involved, the BFE should not be adjusted. Enter elevations in Items C2.a—h to the nearest tenth of a foot(nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico). Items C2.a—d. Enter the building elevations (excluding the attached garage) indicated by the selected building diagram (Item A7) in Items C2.a—c. If there is an attached garage, enter the elevation for top of attached garage slab in Item C2.d. (Because elevation for top of attached garage slab is self-explanatory, attached garages are not illustrated in the diagrams.) If the building is located in a V zone on the FIRM, complete Item C2.c. If the flood zone cannot be determined, enter elevations for all of Items C2.a—h. For buildings in A zones, elevations a, b, d, and e should be measured at the top of the floor. For buildings in V zones, elevation c must be measured at the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the floor(see drawing below). For buildings elevated on a crawlspace, Diagrams 8 and 9, enter the elevation BUILDING ON BUILDING WITH BUILDING ON PILES, SLAB BASEMENT PIERS,OR COLUMNS C2.a A ZONES V ZONES C2.a A ZONES V ZONES A ZONES C2.a C2.c BASE FLOOD ELEVATION C2 c BASE FLOOD`.

If any item does not apply to the building, enter"N/A"for not applicable. Item C2.e. Enter the lowest platform elevation of at least 1 of the following machinery and equipment items: elevators and their associated equipment, furnaces, hot water heaters, heat pumps, and air conditioners in an attached garage or enclosure or on an open utility platform that provides utility services for the building. Note that elevations for these specific machinery and equipment items are required in order to rate the building for flood insurance. Local floodplain management officials are required to ensure that all machinery and equipment servicing the building are protected from flooding. Thus, local officials may require that elevation information for all machinery and equipment, including ductwork, be documented on the Elevation Certificate. If the machinery and/or equipment is mounted to a wall, pile, etc., enter the platform elevation of the machinery and/or equipment. Indicate machinery/equipment type and its general location, e.g., on floor inside garage or on platform affixed to exterior wall, in the Comments area of Section D or Section G, as appropriate. If this item does not apply to the building, enter"N/A"for not applicable. Items C2.f—g. Enter the elevation of the ground, sidewalk, or patio slab immediately next to the building. For Zone AO, use the natural grade elevation, if available.This measurement must be to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico)if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F. Item C2.h. Enter the lowest grade elevation at the deck support or stairs. For Zone AO, use the natural grade elevation, if available. This measurement must be to the nearest tenth of a foot (nearest tenth of a meter, in Puerto Rico) if this certificate is being used to support a request for a LOMA or LOMR-F. SECTION D—SURVEYOR, ENGINEER,OR ARCHITECT CERTIFICATION Complete as indicated. This section of the Elevation Certificate may be signed by only a land surveyor, engineer, or architect who is authorized by law to certify elevation information. Place your license number, your seal (as allowed by the State licensing board), your signature, and the date in the box in Section D.You are certifying that the information on this certificate represents your best efforts to interpret the data available and that you understand that any false statement may be punishable by fine or imprisonment under 18 U.S. Code, Section 1001. Use the Comments area of Section D to provide datum, elevation, openings, or other relevant information not specified elsewhere on the certificate. SECTION E—BUILDING ELEVATION INFORMATION (SURVEY NOT REQUIRED) FOR ZONE AO AND ZONE A(WITHOUT BFE) Complete Section E if the building is located in Zone AO or Zone A(without BFE). Otherwise, complete Section C instead. Explain in the Section F Comments area if the measurement provided under Items El—E4 is based on the"natural grade." Items E1.a and b. Enter in Item E1.a the height to the nearest tenth of a foot(tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico)of the top of the bottom floor (as indicated in the applicable diagram) above or below the highest adjacent grade (HAG). Enter in Item E1.b the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the top of the bottom floor (as indicated in the applicable diagram) above or below the lowest adjacent grade (LAG). For buildings in Zone AO, the community's floodplain management ordinance requires the lowest floor of the building be elevated above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number on the FIRM. Buildings in Zone A(without BFE) may qualify for a lower insurance rate if an engineered BFE is developed at the site. Item E2. For Building Diagrams 6-9 with permanent flood openings (see pages 8-9), enter the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico) of the next higher floor or elevated floor (as indicated in the applicable diagram)above or below the highest adjacent grade(HAG). Item E3. Enter the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico), in relation to the highest adjacent grade next to the building, for the top of attached garage slab. (Because elevation for top of attached garage slab is self-explanatory, attached garages are not illustrated in the diagrams.) If this item does not apply to the building, enter'N/A"for not applicable. Item E4. Enter the height to the nearest tenth of a foot (tenth of a meter in Puerto Rico), in relation to the highest adjacent grade next to the building, of the platform elevation that supports the machinery and/or equipment servicing the building.

The PCEs include those associated with fish and mammal species utilizing the Union River as part of their life cycle as they would be the most likely species found in floodplain areas of large riverine systems. Primary Constituent Elements The primary constituent elements for the critical habitat of Hood Canal/Puget Sound salmon and steelhead in the Union River include: • Freshwater spawning sites with water quantity and quality conditions and substrate supporting spawning incubation and larval development. • Freshwater rearing sites with: o Water quantity and floodplain connectivity to form and maintain physical habitat conditions and support juvenile growth and mobility, o Water quality and forage supporting juvenile development, o Natural cover such as shade,submerged and overhanging large wood,logjams,and beaver dams, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, side channels, and undercut banks. • Estuarine areas free of obstruction and excessive predation with o Water quality,water quantity,and salinity conditions supporting juvenile and adult physiological transitions between fresh-and saltwater, o Natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks,and boulders, side channels, o Juvenile and adult forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation. • Nearshore marine areas free of obstruction and excessive predation: o Water quality and quantity conditions and forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes, supporting growth and maturation, o Natural cover such as submerged and overhanging large wood, aquatic vegetation, large rocks and boulders, and side channels. • Offshore marine areas with water quality conditions and forage, including aquatic invertebrates and fishes supporting growth and maturation. The onsite portion of the Union River floodplain is composed of flat to undulating upland that was historically cleared and is currently supporting a mixture of young alder trees and dense blackberry thickets. The floodplain at the homesite is just about 5 feet above the elevation of the Union River so represents a potential floodplain based on the slight change in elevation. The homesite itself, which is proposed about 300 feet from the Union River, lacks dense forested vegetation because this upland area has been cleared and regularly maintained to keep the cover by invasives low. Because of the clearing and maintenance,there is little downed woody debris within the homesite portion of the mapped floodplain and there are no snags or other features important to salmonid floodplain habitat. There will be no impact to the floodplain within 200 feet of the river and the vegetation within this area will remain to provide primary constituent elements for the river where the greatest benefit is realized. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. FEMA Floodplain Habitat Assessment 1 November 22,2022 Water Quality The immediate downstream segment of the Union River appears on the 303(d)list for impairments of the water because of dissolved oxygen (DOE 2018a). This project will not further impair the waters of the Union River because the proposed homesite will not produce additional nutrients that would increase algal growth within the water. There is sufficient area within the retained and restored buffer to capture nitrogen and phosphorous and prevent them from directly entering the water. Water Quantity The floodplain is mapped within the proposed homesite and much of the buffer that will be allowed to restore naturally. Furthermore,the homesite is on historically cleared and possibly filled land that is already contributing runoff to the roadside and onsite ditches. The proposed homesite will not result in significant increases in the amount of runoff generated on this property particularly because a drainage plan is required as part of the proposed development to capture and properly discharge it after storage and treatment. Vegetation Communities and Habitat Structures The vegetation community within the onsite mapped floodplain is composed of red alders and blackberry that has recovered once again following maintenance activities. There are no older or mature trees nor are there snags or downed logs to provide habitat for fishes and wildlife using the floodplain area. The interior of the floodplain (within 250 feet of the Union River) is composed of well-developed forest with trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation that provide significantly greater habitat structure for the species utilizing the Union River. It provides shade and more diverse forest habitat for a wider variety of species than the floodplain mapped within the homesite. This project proposes construction within the cleared area, which will result in less native vegetation removal, and once construction is completed, the buffer areas will be allowed to undergo natural vegetation restoration and, in some areas, will be planted with native species to increase the function of the buffer and to provide increased vegetation and habitat structure. Floodplain Refugia Refugia is lacking in the floodplain where the home is proposed because there is an overall lack of large wood in the form of snags and downed logs to contribute to the health of the Union River. The interior portion of the floodplain provides greater amounts of refugia because it is composed of tall trees that often fall and provide sources of woody material to the river. This project will not alter the sources of floodplain refugia because the homesite is within the cleared area and will not require removal of significant native or forested vegetation. Floodplain Habitat Effects Determination The mapped floodplain area is composed of an historic clearing that has been maintained over the years. The homesite is proposed within the historic clearing where it will avoid impacts to the higher quality floodplain and stream buffer for the Union River. The homesite area lacks most of the primary constituent elements because of the historic clearing and the distance from the river. Overall, the proposed project will have no direct, indirect, or interrelated/interdependent effects on the floodplain habitat. Ultimately, the function of the floodplain will increase because the clearing activities will cease within the buffer areas,which overlap with the floodplain,and natural restoration as well as installation of new plants is proposed. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc. FEMA Floodplain Habitat Assessment 2 November 22,2022 Hood Canal Summer-run ESU Chum salmon, Puget Sound Steelhead DPS, and bull trout are designated as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and the critical habitat is designated, which includes the Union River. These species utilize the Union River but the floodplain within the homesite provides few of the primary constituent elements needed for these species. The homesite is at least 300 feet from the OHWM of the river and there is a stream and ditch between the two,which will reduce the potential water quality and quantity issues. Therefore,this project will have no effect on the floodplain habitat of listed species or critical habitat. Kings Homes—Old Belfair HWY Ecological Land Services,Inc.
