The applicant is proposing to construct two new single-family residences on the site described below. This report identifies potentially environmentally sensitive areas to ensure that impacts are avoided or minimized to the greatest extent possible. 1.2 SITE LocATtoN The subject consists of two parcels (P58268 and P58272) with a combined acreage of 0.89 acres. For clarity, P58268 is referred to as the North Parcel, and P58272 is referred to as the South Parcel. The site is located southwest of the intersection with Oakes Ave (State Route 20 Spur) and Baltimore Ave in the city of Anacortes, WA (within a portion of Section 23, Township 35N, Range 01E, W.M.). Figure 1: Project Vicinity Map. North and South Parcels are hinhlifrlited. 2.0 METHODS 2.1 REVIEW OF EXISTING INFORMATION The following information was considered as background information before beginning fieldwork: • Google Earth • Skagit County iMap ■ WDFW PHS on the web • WDNR Forest Practices Application Review System (PPARS) water type map ■ USDA MRCS Web Soil Survey (on GoogleEarth) • USFWS National Wetland Inventory Maps 2.2 WETLAND IDENTIFICATION Wetland areas are determined using the routine determination approach described in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands 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 Corps of Engineers 2010). To be considered a wetland, an area must have hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Bachman Environmental collected data on these parameters in areas representative of typical site conditions. 2.3 CLASSIFICATION AND REGULAnoNs The Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington: 2014 Update. (Publication #14-06--029) is used to determine wetland categories. The Anacortes Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.70 is used for determining regulatory measures. 2.4 FIELD INVESTIGATION Bachman Environmental performed a field investigation on February 25, 2019 for the applicant and then conducted another investigation in the un-opened right-of-way of W. 2' Street as part of a feasibility study for the Anacortes Parks Dept. The results from both of those investigations pertain to the proposed project. The study area included the entire property and off -site areas that could be observed on the subject property and from public roads. Bachman Environmental also used aerial photograph interpretation and published inventories to assess off -site conditions. Bachman Environmental did not access or field -verify off -site conditions beyond what could be observed from public roads and across property or fence lines. Critical areas could occur in the areas that could not be physically observed or have not been inventoried. 3.0 RESULTS 3.1 LANDSCAPE SETTING The site is situated in R2A zoning and bordered to the east and west by a single-family residential use. Oakes Avenue (SR 20) borders the property to the north, and the unopened right-of-way of W. 2nd Street borders it to the south. The W. 2n' Street right-of-way is mostly forested and contains a regularly trafficked pedestrian/bike path. The subject site is mostly cleared of native vegetation, comprised of grass and herbaceous species actively grazed by a horse that resides on -site part of the year. The northernmost portion of the North Parcel is vegetated with deciduous trees and scrub -shrub understory. 3.2 ToPOGRAPHYAIVD MAPPED SOILS The MRCS Web Soil Survey maps Bow -Urban land complex (0 to 8 percent slopes). This soil complex comprises 65% Bow soil series, 35% Urban Land, and 5% Bellingham series. It is described as somewhat poorly drained. Both Bow and Bellingham soils are listed as hydric soils in Washington State. 2 3.3 WETLAND 3.3.1 Overview During the site investigation, wetland indicators were identified and delineated near the project area. The wetlands are labeled as Wetlands A, B, C, and D on the attached site plan. Wedand A is in the northwestern corner of the North Parcel. It is a hydrogeomorphically classified as a depressional wetland dominated by a forested vegetation class. The source of hydrology appears to be from seasonal precipitation and high groundwater table. No ponded water was present during the investigation, but is it presumed that any overflow would enter into a roadside ditch on Cakes Ave. It receives a total score of 13 points on the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (2014 Update). This score equates to a Category IV classification. Wetland A is 202 square feet in area and allowed to be developed, per the Anacortes CAR Chapter 17.70.520. Wetland B is in the northeastern corner of the South. Parcel. It is a depressional wetland that outlets into a ditch to the north. It is partially comprised of grazed grasses and scrub -shrub vegetation. It is heavily degraded by horse use. Wetland B receives a total score of 12 points on the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (2014 Update). This score equates to a Category IV classification. Category IV wetlands are dedicated 40-foot buffers. Wetland C is a depressional forested wetland that originates from the forested areas off -site to the south. It drains to the north into the South Parcel's grassed areas and eventually out to the same ditch that drains Wetland B. According to the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington (2014 Update), the wetland receives a total score of 14 points for functions. This score equates to a Category IV classification. Category IV wetlands are dedicated 40-foot buffers. Wetland D is a depressional wetland located off -site to the west. It is dominated by shrub and forested vegetation and outlets into a constructed French drain on the neighboring property. It received 14 points classified as a Category IV wetland and has a 40-foot buffer, which crosses a small segment of the South Parcel's southwestern corner. Table 1. Wetland Wetland Weiland Classification Wetland Size (S.F.) Buffer Width (feet) Cowardin HGM Ecology Anacortes A PF01B Depressional IV IV 202 SF Exempt B PEM2E Depressional IV IV 2,771 SF 40' C PF01E Depressional 1V IV 3,484 SF 40' D PF01E Depressional IV IV 4,770 5F 40' 3.3.2 Wetland A The dominant vegetation within the area identified as Wetland A consists of Sitka willow (Sahx sitchensis, FACW), red alder (Alms rmbra, FAC), Douglas hawthorn (Cratr�egr s daug&,ii, FAC), Himalayan blackberry (Rubes amensacus, FAC), salmonberry (Rubm' spectabalis, FAC), and slough sedge (Cary obnas75ta, OBL). 3 The soil profile within Wetland A is very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) sandy loam with approximately 5% dark yellowish -brown (10YR 3/4) redoximorphic features from 3-16 inches below the surface. These soil characteristics most closely resemble the hydric soil indicator of Redox Dark Surface (F6). Positive indicators for hydrology included Saturation (A3) Conclusion: Based on the presence of positive field indicators for hydrophytic plants, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology, the investigated area labeled as Wetland A meets the criteria of a wetland. 3.3.3 Wetlands B & C Both Wetlands B and C were similar with a dominance of creeping buttercup (RananculAes re�iens, FACW) and Kentucky bluegrass (Para pratensis, FAC) and bird's -foot trefoil (Low cornicarlatus, FACW). The soil profile within Wetlands B and C is very dark brown (10YR 2/2) gravelly sandy loam in the upper 8 inches and then dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) gravelly sandy loam with 150/n dark yellowish - brown (10YR 4/3) redoximorphic features from 8-16 inches below the surface. These soil characteristics most closely resemble the hydric soil indicator of Redox Dark Surface (F6). Positive indicators for hydrology included Surface Water (Al). Conclusion: Based on the presence of positive field indicators for hydrophytic plants, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology, the investigated areas labeled as Wetlands B and C meet the criteria of wetlands. 3.3.4 Wetland D Wetland D is located off -site to the southwest and was documented during the July 6, 2020 investigation. It is and is dominated by red alder (Alnus rubra, FAC), Nootka rose (Rosa nutl;ana, FAC), Creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens, FACW) and fringed willowherb (Epilobsum ciliatarffl, FACW). The soil profile within Wetland D is very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) sandy loam with approximately 20% dark yellowish -brown (10YR 3/6) redoximorphic features throughout the profile. These soil characteristics most closely resemble the hydric soil indicator of Redox Dark Surface (FG). Positive hydrology indicators included secondary indicators of Geomorphic Position (D2) and FAC- Neutral Test (DS). Conclusion: Based on the presence of positive field indicators for hydrophytic plants, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology, the investigated area labeled as Wetland D meets the criteria of wetlands. 3.4 No r-wETLAND AxFAs The upland areas consist of grazed pasture species such as colonial bentgrass (Agrostis capi11 ris, FAC}, and creeping buttercup (Ranuncx�lsss rapers, FACW) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis, FAC}, and English plantain (Plantago laneeolata, FAC}. Where there is a canopy, upland areas are dominated by red alder (,Alnus rubrra, FAC), Douglas hawthorn (Crataegus douglasis, FAC) and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus arnreniracus, FAC). F1 The characteristics of the underlying soils in the site's non -wetland portions are very dark brown (10YR 2/2) sandy loam from the surface to more than 16 inches below the surface. No redoximorphic features were detected in the upland soil profiles. The soils in the upland areas did not meet any of the hydric soil indicator definitions, as described in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. 3.5 WETLAND PUNCTIoNS AND VALUES ASSESSMENT Wetlands A-D are all hydrogeornorphically classified as depressional wetlands that have ditched or other constructed outlet features. These are relatively small, shallow, and degraded wetlands situated in a suburban setting. They provide relatively little value for water quality and flood control functions in the landscape and beyond. Habitat functions are severely limited due to the low habitat diversity, surrounding high -intensity land use, and lack of connection to other valuable habitats. Based on these wetlands' existing conditions, they have been classified as Category IV wetlands. Further details on their functions are reflected in the wetland rating forms attached in this report. 4.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION The applicant proposes to construct two single-family residences with a shared driveway, associated landscaping/yard, and rain garden stormwater system. The project is to be contained entirely within the North Parcel. This development project aims to help meet the demand for more housing in Anacortes. The project is expected to entirely avoid Wetlands B-D and their buffers, as they are located on the South Parcel. However, the project will to develop over Wetland A, as allowed under AMC Chapter 17.70.520 (section on isolated wetlands and small wetland exemptions) Under Chapter 17.70.520, Wetland A is exempt from regulations under AMC Chapter 17.70 because it is a Category IV wetland less than 1,000 SF. It is not associated with a riparian corridor or part of a wetland mosaic, and does not contain priority habitats or species. The project plans will incorporate constructed rain gardens along Oakes Ave and the western property line. The rain gardens will function to manage the stormwater from new impervious surfaces. Such rain gardens are also expected to replace any lost functions offered in Wetland A. Please refer to the applicant's project plans for more details on the rain garden design and locations. Conclusion: This project meets the intent of AMC Chapter 17.70 to assess existing conditions and demonstrate avoidance of regulated critical areas and buffer. Bachman Environmental, therefore, recommends the approval of this project. 5 5.0 USE OF THIS REPQRT This Wetland Site Assessment is supplied to Nate Scott as required by the City of Anacortes during the permitting process.

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? ND - go to -21 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 8.S 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 farms far 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 far 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 Ifyour 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 very gradual), The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually comes from seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct banks, The water leaves the wetland without being impounded. N❑--g tto5 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 hating System for Western WA: 2014 Update Rating Form — Effective January 1, 2015 Wetland name or number A NO - go to 6 1 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 YE5 -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 rverine 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. 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 rnfinn Wetland Rating System for Western WA: 2014 Update 4 Rating Form - Effective January 1, 2015 Wetland name or number A DEPRESSIONAL AND FLATS WETLANDS Water Quality Functions - Indicators that the site functions to improve water quality D 1.0.
