RE: Stream Type Report
Parcel: 12329-13-00040
Mason County, WA
1.0 Introduction
At the request of Earl Lincoln a reconnaissance of the above referenced property has been conducted to
determine the typing classification of two unnamed streams located partially within the western portion
of the property. All field work has been completed by Lee Boad. The following is a summary of
methodology and findings.
2.0 Methods
For the purpose of this work,determination of absence or presence of jurisdictional streams has been
applied according to the definition provided in Chapter 17.01.240 of the Mason County Resource
Ordinance.
Streams: Those areas where surface waters flow sufficiently to produce a defined channel or bed.
A defined channel or bed is an area which demonstrates clear evidence of the passage of water and
includes,but is not limited to,bedrock channels,gravel beds,sand and silt beds and defined
channel swales.The channel or bed need not contain water year round.This definition is not
meant to include irrigation ditches,canals,storm or surface water runoff devices or other entirely
artificial watercourses, unless they are used by salmon or used to convey streams naturally
occurring prior to construction.For regulatory purposes under this Chapter once streams are
identified, the streams are typed following DNR Water Types 1-5(WAC 222-16-030).
2.1 Background Review
The Department of Natural Resources Water Resources Stream Type Activity Map doe not identify any
streams within or in proximity to the subject property(Appendix A). The nearest stream identified is the
Union River, which is a type 1 stream identified as Water Resource Inventory Area 15-0503.
2.2 Field Review
A field review of the property was completed on May 2, 2006. Two streams were identified within the
far western portion of the study site. For the purpose of this report they will be identified as Stream A
and Stream B. The segments of both streams were assessed for channel width, gradient, and fish and
wildlife habitat potential. Stream A is located just west of the property. The stream flows southwesterly
towards the Union River. Stream B is a smaller system flowing northwesterly across the southwestern
comer of the property. Strearn B is a tributary to Stream A. Within the study site, no features were
identified in either system that would represent a barrier to fish migration.

3.0 Results
3.1 Stream A
The portion of Stream A in proximity to the study site has a mean bankfull channel width of
approximately 10 feet and appears to maintain year round flow. Sorted gravels and pool/riffle
complexes are prominent throughout the system which represent both spawning and rearing habitat for
fall chum salmon, coho salmon, and cutthroat trout. Stream gradient ranges from 1-3 percent within the
study site. Large Woody Debris is present in moderate abundances providing important cover and
channel complexity. Cutthroat trout were observed in the stream on the day of the field review. The
nparian area surrounding the stream is relatively intact and likely supports moderate wildlife use.

Figure 1. The portion or Stream A adjacent to the subject property.
Stream A qualifies as a Type 3 Stream. Key factors influencing this typing include the presence of fish
habitat, observed use of the system by fish, the channel width is greater than two feet but less than
twenty feet,and the associated riparian area has the potential to support moderate wildlife use.
3.2 Stream B
The portion of Stream B flowing through the study site maintains a channel width of approximately 3
feet and a gradient that ranges from 0 to 3 percent. Stream S exhibits much less surface water flow in
comparison to Stream A. The channel is characterized by a mostly mud bottom with some scattered
gravels. Portions of the channel appear to have been modified by artificial ditching while other areas
appear to maintain more natural stream characteristics. It is likely that this channel goes dry during

drought periods. Fish habitat potential for this system is limited to rearing. On the day of the field
review one cutthroat trout was observed in a pool area just west of the property line.

Stream B qualifies as a Type 3 Stream. Key factors influencing this typing include the presence of
habitat and observed use of the system by fish, the channel width is greater than two feet but less than
twentyfeet and the associated riparian area has the potential t parr p o support moderate wildlife use.

3.3'Wetlanids
Palustrine emergent wetlands are located adjacent to both streams. These wetlands are supported
hydrologically by high water tables and seasonal flooding. They are of jurisdictional size(> 2,500 sq ft)
and would likely rate as category H wetlands which require a vegetative buffer of 85 feet with an
additional 15-foot building setback. It is evident that these setbacks would occur entirely within portions
of the property already regulated by setbacks associated with the streams and/or the previously identified
wetland to the east(Shanewise,2002). This being the case,formal delineation was not completed.
4.0 Conclusion
Both streams support characteristics that meet criteria for type 3 streams in Mason County. A 150-foot
vegetative buffer with an additional 15-foot building setback is required for type 3 streams according to
Chapter 17.01.110 of the Mason County Resource Ordinance.
I trust this information is sufficient for your needs at this time. Thank you for choosing me as your
environmental consultant. If you have any questions,please feel free to call.
