Alder Strut Field Wetland Determination Reconnaissance INTRODUCTION At the request of Mathew and Krista VanDijk, The Wetland Corps performed a wetland reconnaissance of the above referenced property located off of Ridgetop Court in Belfair, Washington. The work has been requested in conjunction with single family development of the ownership. The property occupies approximately five acres as recorded by the Mason County Assessor. No portion of the site is identified on the Mason County GIS database, as"potential wetland". The focus of this work was to produce a field determination of any wetlands that may be present on site that would require a Wetland Delineation Report. METHODOLOGY Consistent with procedures detailed in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2011) (2011 Manual), preliminary information was gathered on the project site prior to the field review and delineation. General information sources included: The preliminary site plan prepared by arrow Septic Designs, 1974 United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps, the Soil Survey of Mason County Area, Washington (USDA, 1960), the Washington Department of Natural Resources Water Resource Map, and Mason County's critical areas regulations. Field Review The methodology used for this review was to determine if additional work consistent with the technical approaches articulated in the 2011 manual were necessary. This document is the wetland delineation manual that is used in determining wetland areas when applying state and local government regulations under the Shoreline Management Act and the Growth Management Act in Washington State. The time of year and recent precipitation history were considered in assessing the potential presence of wetlands presumed to exist on site. Methodology used for this field review include: • As part of the initial project site reconnaissance, the site was walked to determine the general extent and location of potential areas with the most probability of supporting wetlands; • Areas of investigation were by based on topography and vegetation patterns observed throughout the site. 30 E Lakeland Way,Allyn Wa,98524 :Phone 360-801-0732•wetlandcorps@hotmail.com Wetland Reconnaissance TWC No.17E31 June 13,2020 Page No.2 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS The property is accessed off of NE Ridgetop CT. The parcel is bordered to the north, east, and west by other residential parcels of similar size and shape. The ownership generally consists of two vegetative communities. A forested upland vegetative community occupies the property, and is comprised of a mature overstory consisting of Douglas fir and western red cedar with an understory dominated by swordfem, salal, and evergreen huckleberry. There is a remnant logging road grade dominated by Baltic rush(Juncus Balticus). Although Baltic rush is documented as facultative wetland vegetation, neither soil nor hydrological indicators are present that warrant further review of this area. The Baltic rush community is present due to anaerobic conditions associated with soil compaction from use of the road grade. The property has been recently logged under a DNR forest practice permit. A portion of the property has been cleared and graded. There are no indications of critical or environmentally sensitive areas being altercated. WETLAND DETERMINATION SUMMARY Our findings in the field conclude that there are no wetlands on site and that there is no need for a comprehensive wetland delineation report. The site plan prepared by Arrow Septic Designs shows all proposed development of the property to be a sufficient distance within the property boundaries to avoid any potential wetland buffers that could be associated with adjacent properties. We trust this information is sufficient for your needs at this time. Thank you for choosing The Wetland Corps as your environmental consultant. If you have any questions, feel free to call.

Alder Street Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: hl elpl This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use"not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision- making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. A. BACKGROUND h,V] 1.

The Department of Ecology(Ecology)reviewed the environmental checklist and has the following comment(s): SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: Derek Rockett(360) 407-6287 All grading and filling of land must utilize only clean fill. All other materials may be considered solid waste and permit approval may be required from the local jurisdictional health department prior to filling. All removed debris resulting from this project must be disposed of at an approved site. Contact the local jurisdictional health department for proper management of these materials. WATER QUALITY/WATERSHED RESOURCES UNIT: Morgan Maupin (360)407-7320 Erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading, or construction. These control measures must be effective to prevent stormwater runoff from carrying soil and other pollutants into surface water or stormdrains that lead to waters of the state. Sand, silt, clay particles, and soil will damage aquatic habitat and are considered to be pollutants. Any discharge of sediment-laden runoff or other pollutants to waters of the state is in violation of Chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution Control, and WAC 173-201A, Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, and is subject to enforcement action. Michael MacSems � July 22, 2020 Page 2 The Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSWGP) is not listed under required permits in question A.10 of the SEPA checklist. Information in the SEPA checklist and/or supporting documents suggest that this project meets the coverage requirements, as described below. Also, answers to questisons B.Lf and B.Lh in the SEPA checklist suggest that no erosion could occur as a result of project, and that no erosion control measures will be taken. Construction Stormwater General Permit: The following construction activities require coverage under the Construction Stormwater General Permit: 1. Clearing, grading and/or excavation that results in the disturbance of one or more acres and discharges stormwater to surface waters of the State; and 2. Clearing, grading and/or excavation on sites smaller than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, if the common plan of development or sale will ultimately disturb one acre or more and discharge stormwater to surface waters of the State. a) This includes forest practices(including, but not limited to, class IV conversions) that are part of a construction activity that will result in the disturbance of one or more acres, and discharge to surface waters of the State; and 3. Any size construction activity discharging stormwater to waters of the State that Ecology: a) Determines to be a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the State of Washington, b) Reasonably expects to cause a violation of any water quality standard. If there are known soil/ground water contaminants present on-site, additional information (including, but not limited to:temporary erosion and sediment control plans; stormwater pollution prevention plan; list of known contaminants with concentrations and depths found; a site map depicting the sample location(s); and additional studies/reports regarding contaminant(s))will be required to be submitted. For additional information on contaminated construction sites, please contact Carol Serdar at Carol.Serdar@ecy.wa.gov, or by phone at (360) 742-9751. Additionally, sites that discharge to segments of waterbodies listed as impaired by the State of Washington under Section 303(d)of the Clean Water Act for turbidity, fine sediment, high pH, or phosphorous,or to waterbodies covered by a TMDL may need to meet additional sampling and record keeping requirements. See condition S8 of the Construction Stormwater General Permit for a description of these requirements. To see if your site discharges to a TMDL or 303(d)-listed waterbody, use Ecology's Water Quality Atlas at: https:Hfortress.wa.gov/ecy/watergualityatlas/StartPage.asl2 . The applicant may apply online or obtain an application from Ecology's website at: httl2://www..ecy.wa.goy/pro2rams/wg/stormwater/construction/- Application. Construction site operators must apply for a permit at least 60 days prior to discharging stormwater from construction activities and must submit it on or before the date of the first public notice.
