Specifically, this report provides an analysis of the proposed work relative to the requirements of FWRC Chapter 19.145 (Environmentally Critical Areas), and an analysis evaluating the effects of the proposed project on wetland and stream functions. The site is highly encumbered by critical areas that would deny all reasonable use of the site, therefore, a reasonable use exception pursuant to FWC 19.145.090 is sought. 2 Existing Conditions 2.1 Location The subject parcel, parcel #7202500080, is located at 1XX S 293rd Street and is located off of S 293rd Street within the City of Federal Way jurisdiction (Figure 1). It is situated within Section 05 of Township 21 North, Range 04 East of the Public Land Survey System. a J a t � S 27S1h N .. sc r u Redondo � a aZc ='• ;J° a s • - r L K - _ 4 •r S17"ImiEk ti[dIT, Lake �3 1 t If ..,, 1 $?92nd St 3 284th 51 I� S 2E! v ' 4 v Ap ��$ f1.4 ' r ; _�tlelaidi' t �I. 2 w Elayc= o° _ b Rill Park d'.-.e 9 &iirror Lake SW 312th St SW Mirror 3i.2th St z� 1 Lakota Lake French Park L,k�v Figure 1. Vicinity and study area map, subject parcel in purple outline. 2.2 Site Description The subject parcel is 0.43 acres in size and topography is characterized by a ravine that runs northwest from the southeast corner of the of the property, sloping steeply downhill generally towards Puget Sound. The property is entirely undeveloped and abuts a section of road frontage at S 293td Street in the southwest. The site contains a mixed deciduous conifer overstory with a robust native shrub understory for a majority of the site. A terrace area in the southeast corner of the site is an exception; this area is primarily vegetated by reed canarygrass and Himalayan blackberry. Native species dominating the site consist of a red alder canopy with an Osoberry, salmonberry, and sword fern understory. One small stream, Stream A, runs along the center of the subject property in the ravine. One wetland unit, Wetland A, follows Stream A, stretching up the ravine walls in seep areas in some places. 0 2.3 Environmental Setting The subject parcel is located in the within the Lower Puget Sound - DM/Federal Way sub basin of the Duwamish - Green Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA 9). It is situated in City of Federal Way. Surrounding land use is primarily single-family residential, although much of the land southeast of the subject property is undeveloped. Parcels immediately north, south, and west of the subject property are developed. The parcel immediately east of the subject area is the Crown Point Open Area and is owned by the City of Federal Way as a protected greenspace. The area is more broadly characterized as Puget Sound Douglas -Fir Vegetation Zone, within the Puget Trough Ecoregion. At a landscape scale, the region is heavily developed by high -density residential; however, some habitat connectivity is provided through Crown Point Open Area and other adjoining greenspace. Wetland A, Stream A and the undeveloped subject property are part of this larger wildlife corridor. 2.4 Critical Areas Wetlands and streams were delineated in by The Watershed Company in the separate report Afichuk Property, Stream Delineation Report (2020) (Appendix B). A summary of findings is provided below. 2.4.1 Stream One Stream, Stream A, was identified within the subject property. Stream A is a small stream fed primarily through groundwater seeps, averaging three to four feet in width and flowing along a steep gradient. Stream substrate is dominated by muck with intermittent sections of cobble. A portion of the stream flow is conveyed in a black 12-inch HDPE pipe that extends to the northern property line. This pipe does not carry all flow, and an active stream channel persists adjacent to and beneath the piped section. Stream flow enters a catch basin and drain at the northern property line. Stream A is seasonally flowing and originates just south of the subject property and ends in the northern section of the subject property. The stream flows along a slope of greater than twenty percent. Stream A is not documented as a fish bearing stream, and due to its steep flow gradient and seasonal nature, it does not contain suitable fish habitat. 7 Figure 2. End of Stream A. 2.4.2 Wetland Wetland A runs along the margins of Stream A and extends upslope of Stream A in some places. Wetland A is associated with Stream A, but greater than ninety percent of the wetland area is classified as a slope hydrogeomorphic class. Groundwater seeps throughout the wetland are Wetland A's main source of hydrology. Overbank flooding from Stream A is a secondary source of hydrology for this wetland. Figure 3. Wetland A, looking to the eastern slope. Wetland A is characterized by scrub -shrub and emergent plant communities. Vegetation within the wetland is generally dense and robust, with moderate diversity and complexity. Scrub - shrub areas are dominated by salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), with a lady fern understory (Athyrium filix femina). Emergent areas are dominated by lady fern and piggy -back plant (Tolmiea menziesii). Minimal invasive species were present within in the wetland area; only a few small patches of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus arundinacea) were identified during site visits. A summary of the Wetland A is included in Table 1, below. Table 1. Wetland A summary. Wetland Name I HGM Classification Category Wetland A j Slope, riverine I Category III Habitat Score A Buffer (ft) 150 0 2.4.3 Wetland and Stream Buffer According to the code, Wetland A is rated as a Category III wetland with a habitat score of 6 points, and therefore requires a 150-foot buffer (FWRC 19.145.420[2]). Stream buffers are determined based on the stream type classification. Stream A meets the criteria of a Type Ns water. Type Ns streams require a buffer of 35 feet (FWRC 19.145.270[1]). Federal Way requires a 5-foot building setback from the edges of all critical area buffers (FWRC 19.145.160). Building setbacks may contain landscaping, building overhangs, and fences or railings six feet or less in height. Wetland and stream buffers encompass the entirety of the buildable area of the property, in the areas west of the ravine. The buffer is primarily vegetated by a healthy native plant community and provides generally well -functioning habitat areas. These areas are dominated by a canopy of red alder and big leaf maple, with an understory of Osoberry, salmonberry, and sword fern. There are some pockets of degraded buffer that are dominated by invasive species such as reed canarygrass, Himalayan blackberry and English holly. The primary degraded area has been cited as the location for site development. 2.4.4 Erosion Hazard Areas The entire property has been identified as an erosion hazard area (King County iMap). As discussed in the Geologic Hazard Assessment (GeoResources, 2020) (Appendix D), site soils are mapped as AkF, which have a severe erosion hazard when exposed. 2.4.5 Landslide Hazard Areas As discussed in the Geologic Hazard Assessment (GeoResources, 2020), the site meets some, but not all Landslide Hazard Area criteria outlined in FWRC 19.05.070.G(2), including containing slopes that are steeper than 15 percent. Based on field observations and literature review, GeoResources maintains that the site does not meet technical criteria of a landslide hazard area. Additionally, in their opinion, the proposed site development will mitigate the risk associated with a steep slope site through grading of surficial disturbed/weathered soils and drainage and erosion control, therefore, no additional buffer other than the stream buffer is necessary to protect the on -site slope and adjacent development. 10 Proposed Project 3.1 Overview The parcel was acquired by the applicant in 2019 and is currently undeveloped and vacant. The proposed project includes the construction of a single-family residence on the undeveloped parcel, along with associated underground utilities, and an access driveway from 293rd Street S. The new two-story residence will total approximately 2,369 square feet in total building footprint, including the garage and eaves. The combined wetland/stream buffer encumbers the entirety of the property. Therefore, a critical areas reasonable use exception is sought because a reasonably sized, single-family house with associated access and utilities will not be possible with strict adherence to the City's environmentally critical area regulations, even when utilizing the maximum 25 percent reduced wetland and stream buffers currently allowed under FWRC 19.145. The proposed residence will be located in the southwest corner of the property, within the wetland buffer. Compensation for impacts to the wetland buffer will include enhancement of portions of Wetland A's buffer. Mitigation planting areas (Appendix A) will focus on the portion of the lot nearest the development to provide the greatest amount of functional lift. Proposed enhancement includes the removal of invasive species throughout the mitigation area and installation of native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation. Some portions of the proposed mitigation area have limited opportunity for enhancement through invasive species removal and planting a new native plant community; these areas will be planted with a later successional plant community to replace the alder canopy that currently exists onsite. The mitigation area totals 13,465 square feet total, with 2,230 square feet of buffer restoration and 11,235 square feet of understory infill of a later successional plant community. Overall permanent impacts will be mitigated at a greater than 3:1 ratio, with a less than 1:1 ratio for mitigation enhancement and a 2.5:1 ratio for those areas being planted with later successional species. 3.2 Local Regulations 3.2.1 SEPA Categorical Exemption The project proposal is categorically exempt from a threshold determination per FWRC 14.15 and WAC 197-11, as it proposes one dwelling unit and does not propose direct impacts to lands covered by water. 11 3.2.2 Wetland and Stream Buffer All buffer alterations are subject to the avoidance, minimization, and mitigation requirements of FWRC 19.145.130. A mitigation sequencing narrative is provided in Section 3.2.5 below. The buffer alterations must also comply with the specific development standards for each critical area (FWRC 19.145.440; wetlands and FWRC 19.145.330; streams). Further, additional mitigation requirements specific to wetlands and aquatic areas also apply, including the requirement to provide equivalent or greater critical area functions, an adequate mitigation ratio to compensate for adverse impacts, and adherence to a comprehensive mitigation monitoring program. 3.2.3 Erosion Hazard Areas Due to this project's presence within an erosion hazard area, FWRC 16.145.250 requires that a report that demonstrates that the improvement will not increase surface water discharge, decrease slope stability on adjacent properties, and that the improvement will not adversely impact other critical areas is required. See the attached Geologic Hazard Assessment (GeoResources, 2020) report for more details. 3.2.4 Development Standards - Trees As discussed in the Arborist Report prepared by The Watershed Company in August 2020 (Appendix C), the subject property contains 23 significant trees. Of these trees, two will be removed and six trees are expected to receive impacts to their critical root zones (Table 2). Per FWRC 19.120.130, Trees #1308 and #1309, which are to be removed, are exempt due to their poor condition. Therefore, no trees designated for removal are subject to tree protection standards. Due to high overall tree count on the forested parcel, the existing tree unit credits currently far exceed the minimum standard of 11 tree units, with 72.5 tree credits available. All trees and vegetation proposed for retention shall be protected during construction according to standards outlined in FWRC 19.120.160. Table 2. Tree impact and removal summary.

The development area boundary is proposed at least 37 feet away from all critical areas. The site plan has been developed in order to retain the maximum number of trees of significance. Minimize: The project minimizes impacts to critical area buffers by limiting the number of trees impacted and locating the residence in the most disturbed area of the property near the access road, minimizing impacts to native vegetation and driveway size. Mitigate: The impacts will be mitigated on site by installation of dense, native vegetation in areas suitable for buffer restoration, and understory infill of later successional plants in those areas already vegetated with a dense native plant community. The proposed mitigation area currently provides a generally high level of ecological function overall, and the proposed plan aims to maintain, and improve upon, that high level of function. Monitor: The mitigation site will be maintained and monitored for a minimum of five years to ensure that it meets the designated performance standards. 3.3 Impact Analysis & Local Regulations The project proposes two impact types: impervious area and yard/setback area. These impacts are discussed below. In addition, tree removal and replacement discussion are also provided. House Construction The house's 2,369 square foot footprint is situated in order to reduce overall impacts to critical areas. The proposed location of the house is in the most disturbed area of the property, on the terrace located in the southwest corner of the subject property that is currently dominated by 13 reed canarygrass and Himalayan blackberry. A majority of the impacts from the house will be confined to this area; however, areas of dense native vegetation will be impacted through the construction of the proposed single-family home. The proposed plan will result in the loss of wetland buffer functions, such as loss of habitat and water quality function. The proposed mitigation plan looks to mitigate some of these impacts through adding habitat structure and dense native vegetation, that will offset some of the functions lost through house construction. Additionally, house construction will follow best management practices outlined in the attached arborist and geotechnical report in order to minimize impacts during and after construction. These include, but are not limited to, identifying no -disturbance zones for trees, installing a silt fence along the downslope and side slopes of the active construction area, and utilizing drainage and other erosion controls. Driveway The driveway is oriented to meet those requirements outlined in FWRC 19.120.110, while reducing the distance of the house to the critical areas. FWRC 19.120.110 requires a minimum twenty -foot length parking area; the planned driveway offers 26 feet in parking length in order to gain access to the odd -shaped lot. Front Yard The front yard is oriented to the southwest of the proposed residence, away from critical areas in order to reduce impacts. 3.4 Functional Lift Analysis Through the mitigation plan, function lift will be provided site wide. Areas along the southwestern edge of the subject parcel and directly north of Wetland A will be provided with the most functional lift: these areas are currently either vegetated with invasive species which will be removed during mitigation, or sparsely vegetated. Through planting of dense native vegetation in 2,230 square feet of disturbed area, a functional lift to the site will be provided through the addition of dense native vegetation, which will add value for water quality functions by increasing filtration, hydrological function through slowing water flow, and habitat function by increasing habitat structure. In areas that already have a dense native vegetation community, 11,235 square feet of additional plantings will increase habitat structure and diversity and create a more robust later successional plant community (see Sheet W3 of Appendix A: Mitigation Plan for locations). Removing remaining patches of invasive plants and installing a dense, native plant community, including trees, shrubs, and groundcovers will mitigate for some project impacts and significantly improve the ecological function of the area by providing increased forage and cover opportunities for wildlife, increased stormwater infiltration, reduction in peak 14 stormwater flows, and increased ability to trap and filter sediments that could otherwise enter the wetland and stream. Much of best available science on buffer widths supports larger buffer/core habitat for wetland and riparian wildlife (Hruby, 2014). The location of the proposed development supports this, by preserving the overall core habitat of the adjacent greenspace through locating the development on the outside edge. Through the implementation of the provided mitigation plan, impacts to buffer functions are expected to be mitigated from the construction of the new residence. 4 Reasonable Use Exception The strict application of the wetland and stream regulations under FWRC 19.145 would deny all reasonable economic use of the property. The maximum allowed buffer reduction of 25 percent, or a 112.5-foot buffer, would still result in an entirely encumbered buildable area of the site. Additionally, the standard wetland buffer width of 150 feet for Wetland A results in complete encumbrance of the parcel. Thus, neither buffer reduction through enhancement nor buffer averaging are feasible, as there is no unencumbered area with buffer reduction and no unencumbered area available for buffer expansion. No other allowed uses or exemptions exist within the FWRC to allow the proposed development. Therefore, a reasonable use provision is sought. Section 4.1 below addresses the requirements of FWRC 19.145.090 in relation to the proposed development. 4.1 Addressing FWRC 19.145.090: Reasonable Use Provision FWRC 19.145.090 A) The provisions of this section establish a mechanism whereby the provisions of this chapter may be modified or waived on a case -by -case basis if their implementation would deprive an applicant of all reasonable use of the subject property. Response: As discussed above, the strict implementation of FWRC 19.145 would deprive the applicant of all reasonable use of the subject property. The parcel is zoned for single-family residential development and contains an encumbering 150-foot wetland buffer. The site is entirely encumbered by wetland buffer; therefore, buffer averaging is not a feasible option for site development. Additionally, when reduced to the minimum width allowable under FWRC, a 25 percent reduction or a 112.5-foot buffer, the parcel would still be entirely encumbered. Therefore, no possible application of FWRC 19.145 would allow for development of a single- family residence. 15 B) An applicant may apply for a modification or waiver of the provisions of this chapter using process IV; except, that applications for projects on single-family residential lots may use process III. Response: A reasonable use exception for the development of a single-family residential home on a lot zoned for single-family residential development is sought; therefore, the applicant recognizes that the reasonable use exception will be processed as a Process III application and is providing materials necessary to begin the process. C) The city may approve a modification or waiver of the requirements of this chapter on a case -by - case basis based on the following criteria: 1. The application of the provisions of this chapter eliminates all reasonable use of the subject property. Response: As discussed above, the application of FWRC 19.145 eliminates all reasonable use of the subject property. A single-family home would not be allowed under direct implementation of that chapter, despite the parcel being zoned as single-family residential. 2. No feasible and reasonable on -site alternatives to the proposal are possible, such as changes to site layout andlor reduction of impervious improvements. Response: The current layout of the development with the given footprint is oriented as close to the access road and as far away from critical areas as possible. This orientation leads to an overall reduction of impervious improvements as compared to other options considered. The footprint of the residence utilizes a two-story layout to limit size, with the overall footprint the minimum necessary to fulfill the applicant's needs. Additionally, the size of the footprint is compatible with existing adjacent residences in the vicinity. 3. It is solely the implementation of this chapter, and not other factors, that preclude all reasonable use of the subject property. Response: The only factor that precludes the reasonable use of the subject property is the encumbering wetland buffer as implemented by FWRC 19.145.090. 4. The applicant has in no way created or exacerbated the condition that forms the limitation on the use of the subject property, nor in any way contributed to such limitation. Response: The applicant obtained the subject property in October of 2019. The applicant has made no changes to the subject property that would have created or exacerbated Wetland A or Stream A, nor in any way contributed to the site limitation. 16 5. The waiver or modification will not lead to, create nor significantly increase the risk of injury or death to any person or damage to improvements on or off the subject property. Response: As outlined in the arborist and geotechnical reports (Appendices C and D), modification to the site will be made in accordance to best management practices that will insure that there is no risk of injury, or death to any person or damage to improvements on or off the subject property. 6. Any alteration of a critical area approved under this section shall be subject to appropriate conditions and will require mitigation under an approved mitigation plan. Response: No direct impacts to critical areas are proposed. All impacts to wetland and stream buffers will be mitigated as outlined in response to 3.4 above. The mitigation plan for the site is outlined in Appendix D, Federal Way Afichuk RUE Mitigation Plan, and will be submitted to the City for approval. D) If the city grants a request under this section, it shall grant the minimum necessary to provide the applicant with some reasonable use of the subject property, considering the factors described in subsections (3)(a) through (e) of this section. Any approval or waiver of requirements shall result in the minimum possible impacts to the function and values and/or risks associated with proposed improvements on affected critical areas. The city may impose limitations, mitigation under an approved mitigation plan, conditions and/or restrictions it considers appropriate to reduce or eliminate any undesirable effects or adverse impacts of granting a request under this section. Response: The applicant recognizes that this process is dictated by the City and is aware that they will need to work with the City in order to receive approval. 5 Conclusion The applicant proposes construction of a single-family house, driveway access, and a small yard on parcel 7202500080. The parcel is encumbered by one wetland, one stream, and their associated buffers. A reasonable use exception is sought to allow for reduction of the wetland buffer beyond the maximum allowed by code, in conjunction with a wetland buffer enhancement plan. The proposed buffer enhancement will result in a functional lift of ecological functions. 17 References GeoResoources. 2020. Afichuk, Geologic Hazard Assessment. Fife, WA. Hruby, T. 2014.

On February 24, 2020, Grace Brennan met on -site with the client and Landeau Associates to review the findings of the original letter. This letter summarizes the findings of the studies and details applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The following documents are enclosed: • Delineation Sketch • Wetland Determination Data Forms • Wetland Rating Form and Figures Findings Summary One stream (Stream A) is located in the study area. Stream A is classified as a non -fish bearing, seasonal stream (Type Ns). The City of Federal Way requires a standard 35-foot buffer for Stream A. One Wetland (Wetland A) is located adjacent to Stream A. Wetland A is a Category III wetland with a 150-foot buffer. Study Area The study area for this project is defined as King County parcel 7202500080, totaling 0.43 acres. 750 Sixth Street South I Kirkland, WA 98033 P 425.822.5242 If 425.827.8136 1 watershedco.com Delineation Report Afichuk January 2020 Revised October 2020 Page 2 Methods Public -domain information on the subject properties was reviewed for this delineation study. Resources and review findings are presented in Table 1 of the "Findings" section of this letter. The study area was evaluated for streams based on the presence or absence of an ordinary high water mark (OHWM) as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 220-660-030, and the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 90.58.030. Characterization of climatic conditions for precipitation in the Wetland Determination Data Forms were determined using the WETS table methodology (USDA, NRCS 2015). The "Seattle Tacoma Intl AP" station from 1981-2010 was used as a source for precipitation data (http://agacis.rcc-acis.org/). The WETS table methodology uses climate data from the three months prior to the site visit month to determine if normal conditions are present in the study area region. Findings The study area is within in the "Lower Puget Sound - DM/Fed Way" sub -basin of the Duwamish - Green Watershed (WRIA 9); Section 05 of Township 21 North, Range 04 East of the Public Land Survey System. A ravine extends northwest from the southeast corner of the study area, exiting the study area at its northern boundary. Stream A and Wetland A are located within this ravine. The study area totals 0.43 acres in size. Parcel 7202500070 (south) has been recently developed with a single-family home. Both the east and the west sides of the parcel slope downward toward Stream A and the ravine. The west side contains a small terrace with reed canarygrass and additional steep slopes that slope north towards Puget Sound. Reviewed public -domain information for the site is summarized below (Table 1). Public -domain information was reviewed within a 500-foot vicinity to the study area.

Wetland A sits in the narrow ravine Stream A runs through. A majority of the wetland is fed through visible groundwater seeps. Areas of the wetland extend upslope from Stream A on both the east and west side of Stream A. Delineation Report Afichuk January 2020 Revised October 2020 Page 5 Streams Stream A flows along a steep gradient through Wetland A, averaging three to four feet in width. The substrate is dominated by muck with intermittent sections of cobble. A portion of the stream flow, beginning at WMA-4L and WMA-4R, is carried in a black 12" diameter HDPE pipe that extends to the property line. This pipe appears some type of erosion control device whose origins are unknown but may be related to the downstream mobile home park property. The pipe a portion of the stream flow from the daylighted stream segment above; however, there is still evidence of water flow beneath the pipe. Stream flow enters a catch basin and drain (Photo 1) at the northern property line. Both the stream and wetland are supplemented by groundwater seeps, and at the time of the site visit water was flowing through the entirety of Stream A. Stream A is likely seasonally flowing and flows along a slope greater than twenty percent; therefore, Stream A does not contain suitable fish habitat. Non -wetlands Non -wetland areas are generally upslope (east and west) of Wetland A and do not meet all criteria for hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, or wetland hydrology. The east slope portion of the parcel is dominated by western hemlock and sword fern. The western portion of the parcel is dominated by reed canarygrass and Himalayan blackberry in the upper terrace and red alder, Osoberry, salmonberry, sword fern, and trailing blackberry in the lower slope area (Photos 2 and 3). Local Regulations Critical areas in Federal Way are regulated by Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) Chapter 19.145, Environmentally Critical Areas. According to the code, wetlands are rated as one of four categories based on the Rating System. Under the Rating System, Wetland A was rated as Category III wetland with a habitat score of 6 points, and therefore requires a 150-foot buffer (FWRC 19.145.420[2]). Stream buffers are determined based on the stream type classification. The Stream A/Wetland A system meets the criteria of a Type Ns water. Type Ns streams require a buffer of 35 feet (FWRC 19.145.270[1]). Federal Way requires a 5-foot building setback from the edges of all critical area buffers (FWRC 19.145.160). Building setbacks may contain landscaping, building overhangs, and fences or railings six feet or less in height. Delineation Report Afichuk January 2020 Revised October 2020 Page 6 Critical Area Buffer Reduction Federal Way allows for buffers of all categories of wetlands to be reduced by 25% if buffer enhancement is provided, resulting in no loss of buffer function (FWRC 19.45.445[6]). Wetland A's buffer could therefore be reduced to 112.5 feet and Stream A's buffer to 26.25 feet. Typically, this entails the removal of invasive species, dense planting of native plants, and a 5-year monitoring period. Based on the location of the wetland boundaries, it does not appear that a 25% reduction will be adequate to allow for development on the subject property. Wetland and aquatic area buffers may also be modified through buffer averaging, in accordance with FWRC 19.145.440(5). Buffer averaging may be allowed if the total buffer area is equivalent to the area before averaging, the averaged buffer is contiguous with the standard buffer, and "the ecological structure and function of the buffer after averaging is equivalent to or greater than the structure and function before averaging. In some circumstances, buffer averaging may be accompanied by buffer enhancement in order to balance ecological functions. Averaged buffers cannot be reduced to less than 75% of the standard buffer width in any location. Due to the extent of buffers on the property, buffer averaging does not appear to be a feasible option to allow for development. Reasonable Use Exception If the strict implementation of the critical area regulations would deprive a landowner all reasonable use of their parcel, the provisions may be modified or waived on a case -by -case basis (FWRC 19.145.090). An applicant must demonstrate that impacts to the critical area have been minimized to the greatest extent possible and that no feasible on -site alternatives to their proposal are possible. This provision typically allows for the development of one single-family residence per parcel. Pursuing a reasonable use exception appears to be the only feasible option for development for this site based on buffer encumbrance. State and Federal Regulations Federal Agencies Most wetlands and streams are regulated by the Corps under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Any proposed filling or other direct impacts to Waters of the U.S., including wetlands (except isolated wetlands), would require notification and permits from the Corps. Wetland A would not be considered isolated. Unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are typically required to be compensated through implementation of an approved mitigation plan. If activities requiring a Corps permits are proposed, a Joint Aquatic Resource Permit Application (DARPA) could be submitted to obtain authorization. Delineation Report Afichuk January 2020 Revised October 2020 Page 7 Federally permitted actions that could affect endangered species may also require a biological assessment study and consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the National Marine Fisheries Service. Compliance with the Endangered Species Act must be demonstrated for activities within jurisdictional wetlands and the 100-year floodplain. Application for Corps permits may also require an individual 401 Water Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Consistency determination from Ecology and a cultural resource study in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) Similar to the Corps, Ecology, under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, is charged with reviewing, conditioning, and approving or denying certain federally permitted actions that result in discharges to state waters. However, Ecology review under the Clean Water Act would only become necessary if a Section 404 permit from the Corps was issued. However, Ecology also regulates wetlands, including isolated wetlands, under the Washington Pollution Prevention and Control Act, but only if direct wetland impacts are proposed. Therefore, if filling activities are avoided, authorization from Ecology would not be needed. If filling is proposed, a JARPA may be also be submitted to Ecology in order to obtain a Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Consistency Determination. Ecology permits are either issued concurrently with the Corps permit or within 90 days following the Corps permit. In general, neither the Corps nor Ecology regulates wetland and stream buffers, unless direct impacts are proposed. When direct impacts are proposed, mitigated wetlands and streams may be required to employ buffers based on Corps and Ecology joint regulatory guidance. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Chapter 77.55 of the RCW (the Hydraulic Code) gives WDFW the authority to review, condition, and approve or deny "any construction activity that will use, divert, obstruct, or change the bed or flow of state waters." This provision includes any in -water work, installation of bridges, docks and other overwater structures and can sometimes include stormwater discharge to state waters. If a project meets regulatory requirements, WDFW will issue a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA). Through issuance of an HPA, WDFW can also restrict activities to a particular timeframe. Work is typically restricted to late summer and early fall. However, WDFW has in the past allowed crossings that don't involve in -stream work to occur at any time during the year.

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? ONO - go to 2 El 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. ONO -goto3 ❑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? El The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of permanent open water (without any plants on the surface at anytime 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). ONO - go to 4 El 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 very gradual), ❑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, ❑X The water leaves the wetland without being impounded. ❑NO-goto5 DYES - 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). 5. Does the entire wetland unit meet all of the following criteria? El The unit is in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from that stream or river, El The overbank flooding occurs at least once every 2 years. Wetland Rating System for Western WA: 2014 Update Rating Form - Effective January 1, 2015 Wetland name or number: Wetland A LINO - 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. SLOPE RATING USED.

This report summarizes the findings of the study and details applicable regulations. The following documents are enclosed: • Tree Inventory Table • Off -Parcel Tree Inventory Table • Tree Retention Plan Findings Summary A total of 37 significant trees were inventoried on the subject property, with an additional 23 non -significant trees tallied on -site, totaling 72.5 tree credits. Twenty-one off -parcel significant trees were included in the inventory. Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) requires 11 tree units to meet density requirements on this 0.43-acre parcel. Study Area The subject property totals approximately 0.43 acres in size and is currently undeveloped. The site is slopes steeply down to the north, with a ravine and small stream extending north from the southeast area of the parcel. The site is generally forested with native deciduous trees; a disturbed area is located in the southwest portion of the property. 750 Sixth Street South I Kirkland, WA 98033 P 425.822.5242 f 425.827.8136 1 watershedco.com Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 2 Proposed Project The subject property is proposed to be developed with a single-family residence, associated site access and landscape improvements. To achieve this, trees located in proximity to the proposed development may be impacted. Elements of proposed improvements that may impact trees include clearing, grading, trenching for utilities, and altered environmental factors on -site including wind direction, sun exposure, and decreased water infiltration from impervious surfaces. Methods The study area for the tree inventory includes parcel #7202500080 and significant trees rooted within approximately 50 feet of the parcel boundary. Per Federal Way Revised Code, a significant tree is 'any self-supporting perennial woody plant characterized by one main stem or trunk of at least six inches in diameter measured four and one-half feet above ground, or a multi -stemmed trunk system with a definite crown, maturing at a height of a least 20 feet above ground level' (FWRC 19.05.200). Inventory methods were developed to meet the City of Federal Way tree retention requirements. A round one -and -one -quarter inch -wide, numbered aluminum tag was affixed to the side of the trunk of significant trees presumed to be located on -site (tree tag #1301-1340). Off -site trees were not tagged nor measured; rather physical attributes were estimated from the subject property. The attributes collected during the field survey are described in Table 1, below. The database (Tree Inventory Table) contains the data collected for each tree inventoried. General attributes documented for all inventoried trees include the unique identification number and name of plant species. Physical attributes include number of stems, diameter at breast height (DBH), height, canopy radius, condition, and assessment notes. Non -significant trees (one- to six -inches DBH) located within the driplines of significant trees also were tallied during the assessment of significant trees. Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 3 Table 1. Attributes recorded for all inventoried vegetation and that are presented in the spreadsheet database. Attribute Description of Attribute ID NUMBER Unique number assigned to an assessed tree. This number corresponds to the tag number in the field. SCIENTIFIC NAME I Formal scientific name conforming to the International Code of Nomenclature. COMMON NAME I Name that is based on normal or common language of the Pacific Northwest. STEMS Number of trunks or shoots that contribute significantly to the canopy. DBH Diameter at Breast Height; or 4.5 feet from the ground surface. HEIGHT Approximate distance from the ground surface at the trunk to the highest point of the subject tree as visually estimated. CANOPY RADIUS Measurement from the stem to the limits of the drip line, or end of branches. Critical root zone. Health rating of an assessed tree using a 5-tier system as follows: 1— Excellent: No apparent problems with the tree. Form is exemplary for the species. 2 — Good: Few minor defects such as crossed branches, minor foliage die -back, minor trunk damage, or unbalance canopy. CONDITION 3 — Fair: Several minor problems exist. 4 — Poor: Major defects visible such as significant trunk decay, codominant leaders with included bark, significant canopy die -back, major cracks in a stem or major limbs, and/or other structural problems. Topped trees are generally considered poor. 5 — Dying: Tree is in a state of significant decline. 6 — Dead: Tree is dead. In general, tree diameter was measured at four feet above the ground surface (diameter at breast height, or "DBH") using a graduated metal logger's DBH tape. Trees with multiple trunks arising from the ground were measured using methodology from Guide for Plant Appraisal (Gooding, et al. 2000). The cross -sectional areas of stems contributing to the canopy were summed and used to generate a singular combined DBH for the tree. The singular DBH number allows for comparison to other single -stemmed trees and for more accurate permitting and tree retention calculations. Methods for measuring diameter of trees with major leans, on steep slopes, and with multiple trunks or stems generally followed those outlined in the Guide for Plant Appraisal (Gooding, et Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 4 al. 2000). Visual estimates of trunk diameter were used where direct access to the tree was not allowed or not feasible. Tree data and geospatial locations were collected in the field using an iPad with ArcGIS Collector application. Data collected in the field are summarized in the Tree Inventory Sketch and Tree Inventory Table, attached. Findings Tree Inventory Results A total of 37 significant trees are located on the subject parcel. 23 non -significant trees (one to six inches in diameter) were tallied on -site. A total of 21 off -site trees were assessed from the parcel boundary. Significant tree species on the subject parcel were limited to Acer macrophyllum (bigleaf maple), Alnus rubra (red alder), and Tsuga heterophylla (western hemlock), all native to the Pacific northwest. The most common tree species on the subject parcel is red alder, followed by bigleaf maple with 23 and 11 individuals, respectively. Overall, the average DBH of significant trees located on the parcel is 16.7-inches, with 13 trees measuring greater than 18-inches DBH. The largest tree is a bigleaf maple (#1328) with a DBH of 55.1 inches. Fourteen trees, or 38-percent of the total, were given a health rating of 4 (poor) or worse; many of these trees have been previously topped. A summary of attributes for significant tree species identified on -site is provided in Table 2 below. Table 2. Summary of tree species and DBH size.

The average DBH of these trees is approximately 19- inches. 10 trees were estimated to have a DBH greater than 18-inches. The three largest trees, all Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 5 bigleaf maples, were each estimated to have a DBH of 36 inches. Five trees were given a health rating of 4 (poor) or worse. Tree Retention and Removal With the proposed site plan (provided by Urban Design Group, May 22, 2020) trees located in proximity to the development area will be impacted to varying degrees. Table 3 summarizes trees that are anticipated to be impacted by the proposed development as a result of disturbance with the critical root zone (CRZ), defined as 12 inches radius for every one inch of tree diameter measured at four and one-half feet above ground. Table 3. Tree Impact and Removal Summary. Combined Height Radius Tree Proposed Tag # Tree Name Condition DBH (In) 11.5 (Ft) (Ft) Units for Removal 1301 Anus rubra (Red Alder) 10.8 60 15 2 1.5 NO NO 1302 Alnus rubra (Red Alder) 60 12 2 1.5 1303 Alnus rubra 13.6 NO (Red Alder) 60 15 2 2.0 1305 Alnus rubra 9.8 NO (Red Alder) 60 10 4 n/a 1306 Alnus rubra 11.6 NO (Red Alder) 60 15 3 1.5 1307 Alnus rubra 11.8 NO (Red Alder) 65 15 2 1.5 1308 Alnus rubra 10.7 (Red Alder) 25 5 4 n/a YES 1309 Alnus rubra 8.9 (Red Alder) 50 12 4 n/a YES The proposed development area has been cited in a previously disturbed area in order to minimize impacts to significant trees. However, implementation of the site plan will require the removal of two trees, #1308 and #1309. Tree #1308 and #1308 are both red alders in poor (4) condition with DBHs of 10.7-inches and 8.9-inches, respectively. These trees will be directly impacted by construction of the single-family residence and related grading. Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 6 Additionally, six trees (#1301, 1302, 1303, 1305, 1306, and 1307) are expected to receive impacts to their critical root zones. These trees are all red alders with DBHs ranging from 9.8-inches to 13.6-inches. The trees are generally in fair to good condition, with the exception of #1305 which has a poor (4) condition rating. It is not expected that the extent of impacts proposed within the critical root zones of these six trees will cause their conditions to decline to a point that would require their removal when tree protection measures are followed. No off -parcel tree impacts or removals are anticipated. Local Regulations The City of Federal Way's tree and vegetation retention standards are outlined in the Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC), Chapter 19.120 - Clearing, Grading, and Tree and Vegetation Retention. The subject parcel is zoned RS9.6 - Residential and therefore requires a tree unit density of 25 tree units per acre (FWRC 19.120.130-2). To calculate the total number of tree units required, the gross site acreage is multiplied by 25 (the required tree unit density based on land use designation). As such, the 0.43-acre parcel requires a total of 11 tree units to meet density requirements. Tree units must be maintained during and after development. Site development shall consider the location of existing healthy tree stands both on -site and on adjacent properties. Trees that are damaged, diseased, are a hazard, nuisance or invasive species shall not count towards tree retention requirements. Tree density requirements should be met primarily with the conservation of existing trees, however in situations where a development design would preclude the retention requirement, replacement trees may be authorized (FWRC 19.120.130-1). Table 4 summarizes tree unit credits for retention and replacement trees as required by Federal Way Revised Code. Due to the high overall tree count on the forested parcel, the existing tree unit credits currently far exceed minimum standards with 72.5 credits available (Table 5). Both trees proposed for removal are in poor (4) condition, and therefore do not contribute tree unit credits. As a result, the subject parcel is anticipated to maintain 72.2 tree credits during and after construction. Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 7 Table 4.

Trees that were given a health rating of 4 (poor) or 5 (dying) are not included in the tree unit credit calculations table. All trees and vegetation proposed for retention shall be protected during construction according to the standards as outlined below in FWRC 19.120.160 Tree and vegetation protection during construction: Tree Inventory Report Afichuk Project October 2020 Page 8 (1) No clearing shall be allowed on a proposed development site until the tree retention and landscape plans have been approved by the city of Federal Way. (2) A no disturbance area shall be established for each tree to be protected. The no disturbance zone shall be equal to the critical root zone which is defined as 12 inches radius for every one inch of tree diameter measured at four and one-half feet above ground. Any other no disturbance area proposed by the applicant shall be determined by a qualified arborist and subject to review and approval by the director. (3) The no disturbance zone shall be identified during the construction stage with: (a) A temporary five-foot chain -link fence; and (b) Tree protection signage attached to the fence which reads "TREE PROTECTION FENCE — No soil disturbance, parking, storage, dumping, or burning of materials is allowed within the Tree Protection Fence." (4) No soil disturbance, parking, storage, dumping, burning of materials, impervious surfaces, fill, excavation, or storage of construction materials shall be permitted within the no disturbance area. (5) If the grade level around the tree is to be raised by more than one foot, a rock well shall be constructed. The inside diameter of the rock well shall be equal to the diameter of the tree trunk plus 10 feet. Proper drainage, and irrigation if necessary, shall be provided in all rock wells. (6) The grade level shall not be lowered within the larger of the drip line of the tree(s) or the critical root zone of the tree(s). (7) No trenching is allowed in any critical tree root zone areas. (8) No installation of any impervious surfaces is allowed in critical root zones. Where road or sidewalk surfaces are needed within critical root zones, unmortared porous pavers or flagstone (rather than concrete or asphalt) may be used. Boardwalks or bridging may span root zones without harming the tree roots. (9) Tree protection areas (i.e., critical root zone) must be prepared to better withstand the stresses of the construction phase by, if necessary, fertilizing, pruning, and mulching around them well in advance of beginning any construction activities. (10) Alternative protection methods may be used if accepted by the director to provide equal or greater tree protection. (11) Encroachment into the no disturbance area may be allowed where the director determines encroachment would not be detrimental to the health of the tree.

We understand that you purchased the property from the previous owner but our November 2017 Geologic Hazard Assessment had not been submitted to the City. The 2017 report addressed potential geologic hazards for the proposed single-family residence to be constructed on the above referenced vacant parcel. The location of the site is shown on the attached Site Vicinity Map, Figure 1. Our understanding of the project is based on our discussions with you; our previous work on the adjacent parcel; our previous October 13, 2017 and November 28, 2017 site visits and our more recent August 14, 2020 site visit; and our understanding of the City of Federal Way critical areas ordinance (FWRC Chapters 19.05.070.G and 19.145). We understand that you propose to construct a new single-family residence in the upper portion of the subject parcel as shown on the attached Site Plan, Figure 2. According to the provided architectural elevation drawings, the garage floor elevation will generally be about the same elevation as S 293rd Street. The main floor will be half a story below the garage, while the upper floor will be half a story above the garage. There will be a daylight basement level below the main floor. We understand that the residence will be a three-story, wood -framed structure supported on conventional spread footings. However, because of the site slopes, deep foundations such as small diameter pin or needle piles, or drill piers, may be required in order to meet building setback requirements. The daylight basement retaining wall will be a cast -in -place concrete wall. A sewer lines is located in the central portion of the site and extends from a man -hole on the neighboring parcel to the south down to the mobile park on the north. The sanitary sewer easement is not shown on the site plan, but we understand that the easement is located entirely within the buffer. East of the sewer is a stream channel that also flows down to the north. We understand from our previous involvement on the adjacent parcel (including a Critical Areas Assessment and Stream Corridor Buffer report prepared by Habitat Technologies dated April 5, 2016). The Habitat Technologies report described the stream as an intermittent surface water drainage. The attached Afi c h u kS. 5293 rd St. G HA September 14, 2020 page 12 site plan indicates that there is a 50-foot stream buffer associated with the drainage. The buffer is shown on the attached Site & Exploration Plan, Figure 2. SCOPE The purpose of our services was to update our November 2017 report. Specifically, our scope of services for the project included the following: 1. Visiting the site and conducting a geologic reconnaissance to assess the site's soil, groundwater and slope conditions; and 2. Preparing this Updated Geologic Hazard Assessment per the City of Federal Way Critical Areas Ordinance for the proposed site development. We were verbally authorized by you to begin this update during our August 14, 2020 site visit. No new subsurface explorations were completed as part of this update. Since our initial site visits, the existing conditions appears relatively unchanged, with the vegetation becoming more established. Additionally, the house on the adjacent parcel to the south and east has been completed, whereas it was under construction during our last site visits. We previously prepared a similar Geologic Hazard Assessment for the adjacent residence (parcel 7202500070) to the south. The City had GeoDesign, Inc perform a third party review on the assessment and a revised assessment addressing the third party review was prepared on May 4, 2014. We understand that the revised assessment adequately addressed the review comments and was ultimately approved by the City. SITE CONDITIONS The subject parcel is located in the Redondo area of Federal Way, Washington. According to the provided site plan (included as our Site & Exploration Plan, Figure 2), the parcel is irregular in shape, generally measures about 167 to 140 wide (east to west) by about 130 to 216 feet long (north to south) and encompasses approximately 18,791 square feet. The parcel is bounded by South 293rd Street and an older residence on the west, by the aforementioned new residence on the south by a wooded, undeveloped area to the east, and by a mobile -home residential development on the north. The upland portion of the parcel, near the existing 293rd Street right of way, is flat to gently sloping. Approximately 6 to 8 feet north of the curb line, the site slopes steeply down (about 50 to 100 percent) over a vertical height of about 6 to 8 feet. We interpret this upper slope to be fill placed as part of the S 293rd Street road prism. The site flattens across a bench that slopes down at about 20 to 33 percent. Below the proposed house footprint, the site slopes steepen down to both the north and east to about 50 to 75 percent. The lower steep slope section extends down to an intermittent stream channel on the east and towards the mobile home park on the north. The slopes end in the stream channel and then slope back up to the east across a wooded slope. Total vertical relief across the site is on the order of 66 feet. The proposed location of the residence and site topography are shown on the attached Site & Exploration Plan, Figure 2. An aerial photograph of the site with topography obtained from the King County iMap website is included as the Site Vicinity Map, Figure 3. C,�0RrtsoL ROES Afi c h u kS. S293 rd St. G HA September 14, 2020 page 13 Vegetation on the site consists of tall grasses, blackberries, and both native and invasive brush. Some scattered young deciduous trees and occasional older fir trees are located along the north and east sides of the parcel. As discussed, shallow seasonal drainage course is located along the eastern property line. No springs or seepage was observed at the time of our site visit. No evidence of erosion, soil movement, landslide activity or deep-seated slope instability was observed at the site or the adjacent areas at the time of our site visit. During our previous site visits, we observed what was described by others to be tension cracks in the lower portion of the site. We had interpreted these cracks to be desiccation cracking that would be mitigated by the site development excavation. These tension cracks were not observed during our recent visit. Site Soils The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey maps the soils as Alderwood and Kitsap soils (AkF). The Alderwood and Kitsap soils are derived from glacial till, that form on 25 to 70 percent slopes. These soils are listed as having a "moderate to severe" erosion hazard a severe building limitation for slopes. These soils are listed in hydrologic soils group B/C. A copy of the SCS map for the site vicinity is attached as Figure 4. Site Geology The Geologic Map of the Poverty Bay 7.5-minute Quadrangle, Washington, Derek B. Booth, Howard H. Waldron, and Kathy G. Troost (2003) indicates the site underlain by coarse -grained older glacial deposits (Qpogc). These soils were generally deposited before the Vashon stade of the Fraser Glaciation, some 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. The glacial deposits typically consist of a heterogeneous mixture of clay, silt, sand and gravel that has been over ridden by the continental ice mass associated with the Vashon stade of Fraser glaciation. The glacial deposits are considered over -consolidated, are typically in a very dense condition, and exhibit high strength and low compressibility characteristics where undisturbed. Surficial soils are typically weathered to a loose to medium dense condition. No areas of landslides or mass wasting or noted on the map within the immediate vicinity of the site, however, a mass wasting deposit is shown on the map south and east of the parcel by about 500 to 600 feet. The mapped mass wasting deposit is on the east side of the stream channel valley from the site and immediately below an area of existing residential development. An excerpt of the above referenced map is included as Figure 5. The Washington State Department of Ecology Coastal Atlas for the site area indicates the flatter upland area to be "stable", while the slopes on the east side of the stream channel are mapped as "unstable". The unstable designation is likely attributed to the height and inclination of the slopes east of the streams. No areas of unstable recent or unstable historic landslides are shown on the Coastal Atlas within the site area. A copy of the Coastal Atlas map for the site area is attached as Figure 6. A series of oblique aerial shoreline photos obtained from the Coastal Atlas website are attached as Figures 7a through 7e. The photographs, taken between 1977 and 2016 show the site and adjacent areas. The three more recent photographs (1996, 2000, 2006) show the existing residential developments and site to be well vegetated. The 1977 shows the residential development below the site to be existing and the neighborhood that the site is located in to be under construction. G�C)R�sr�u��Es Afi c h u kS. S293 rd St. G HA September 14, 2020 page 14 Subsurface Conditions Two hand augers were excavated on the slope on the parcel to the south. We were also able to observed subsurface conditions as exposed on the active construction site to the south and as exposed in a root -ball hole from a large fallen tree on the south side of the subject property. In our opinion, the observed subsurface conditions generally confirmed the mapped stratigraphy. Similar to the soils encountered in the upper hand auger on the adjacent parcel, we anticipate that upper portion of the site soils has fill associated with construction of South 293rd Street and the sanitary sewer that cross the parcel. The soils encountered in our hand augers were characterized in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System, a copy of which is attached as Figure 8. Logs of the test pits are attached as Figure 9. During construction of the house on the parcel to the south, old fill was encountered down about 4 to 6 feet below grade in the upper portion of the site. This was also observed with the fill encountered in the upper hand auger. Given the site grades, we anticipate the fill extends into the south portion of the subject site. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS The City of Federal Way Critical Areas Ordinance for Geologically Hazardous Areas state "geologically hazardous areas shall mean areas that, because of their susceptibility to erosion, landsliding, seismic or other geological events, are not suited to siting commercial, residential or industrial development consistent with public health or safety concerns." The Revised Code of Federal Way is copied in italics, while our comments to the code are immediately following the code. Erosion Hazard Areas per Federal Way Revised Code The FWRC, Chapter 19.05.070.G(1) defines erosion hazard areas as "those areas identified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as having a moderate to severe or severe to very severe rill and inter -rill erosion hazard due to natural agents such as wind, rain, splash, frost action or stream flow; those areas containing the following group of soils when they occur on slopes of 15 percent or greater: Alderwood-Kitsap ('AkF'), Alderwood gravelly sandy loam ('AgD'9, Kitsap silt loam ("KpD'), Everett ("EvD'), and Indianola ("InD'9, and those areas impacted by shore land and/or stream bank erosion" The site soils are mapped as AkF, which have a severe erosion hazard when exposed. Conventional construction BMP's should be installed prior to beginning construction. This will provide adequate erosion control for the disturbed areas of the site. It is critical that the installed erosion control measures be monitored and maintained, and if necessary modified based on changing site conditions. In the event that the site is not worked for 7 days or more, the disturbed areas should be adequately erosion protected and maintained in the event of a significant storm event. This may include the use of plastic sheeting or mulch. Erosion control should specifically include the installation of silt fencing along the downslope and side slopes of the active construction area. Straw waddles and berms may also be necessary. We have not been provided with a copy of the proposed Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) plan at this time. However, provided standard BMP's are installed prior to beginning construction, the potential for erosion or sediment leaving the site should be minimal. G, ORE'-�Cl4JRCE5 Afi c h u kS. 5293 rd St. G HA September 14, 2020 page 1 5 Landslide Hazard Areas per Federal Way Revised Code The FWRC, Chapter 19.05.070.G(2) defines landslide hazard areas as "those areas potentially subject to episodic downslope movement of a mass of soil or rock including but not limited to the following areas."These are typically characterized as having the following indicators: a. Any area with a combination of.• i. Slopes greater than 15 percent, ii. Permeable sediment overlying a relatively impermeable sediment or bedrock,• iii. Springs orgroundwaterseeps. b. Any area which has shown movement during the Holocene epoch, from 10,000 years ago to the present, or which is underlain by mass wastage debris of that epoch. c. Any area potentially unstable as a result of rapid stream incision, stream bank erosion or undercutting by wave action. d. Any area located in a ravine or on an active alluvial fan, presently or potentially subject to inundation by debris flows or flooding. e. Those areas mapped as Class U (unstable), UOS (unstable old slides), and URS (unstable recent slides) by the Department of Ecology's Coastal Zone Atlas. f. Areas designated as quaternary slumps, earthflows, mudflows, lahars, or landslides on maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey or Washington State Department of Natural Resources. g. Slopes having gradients greater than 80 percent subject to rockfall during seismic shaking h. Any area with a slope of 40 percent or steeper and with a vertical relief of 10 or more feet except areas composed of consolidated rock. A slope is delineated by establishing its toe and top and is measured by averaging the inclination over at least 10 feet of vertical relief. The site has slopes steeper than 15 percent, but no adverse or intersecting contacts are mapped on the site, nor were any seeps or springs noted on the slope or along the seasonal stream channel. No areas of mapped landslide debris or activity were noted on the published geologic map or Coastal Atlas. The stream channel is not deeply incised, and we anticipate that runoff from the developments along the west side of the stream channel have greatly decreased the amount of season flow, thereby reducing the potential for rapid stream incision or stream bank erosion. No areas of alluvial fans are mapped nor were any alluvial fans noted in the vicinity of the site at the time of our past site visits. The site is listed as being stable by the Department of Ecology Coastal Atlas, however the slopes on the east side of the stream are mapped as unstable because of their height and inclination. No areas of historic or recent landslide activity were identified on the Coastal Atlas. The site slopes are not steeper than 80 percent with and subject to rock fall during seismic shaking. Based on our observations and literature review, the site has one of the above indicators. The area is mapped as unstable on the east side of the stream channel, about 50 feet away from the proposed building site. While the site has one of the above indicators, it is our opinion that the proposed site development will mitigate the typical risks associated with steep slope site; grading of surficial disturbed/weathered soils, drainage and erosion control, therefore no additional buffer other than the stream buffer should be imposed by the City of Federal Way. As stated above, the steep slope below South 293rd Street appears to be part of the roadway prism. The lower bench and steep slope appears partially attributed to construction and installation of the adjacent sewer line installation. The flatter slope between these two steep slope areas does G�C)R�sr�u��Es Afi c h u kS. S293 rd St. G HA September 14, 2020 page 16 appear to be natural. As shown on the site plan, the house will be setback more than 7 feet from the north property and the steep slope that extends down to the adjacent mobile home park. This area will ultimately be retained by the daylight basement wall. Seismic Hazards per Federal Way Revised Code Earthquake -induced geologic hazards per City of Federal Way Revised Code (2016 FWRC), Chapter 19.05.070.G(3) may include liquefaction, lateral spreading, slope instability, and ground surface fault rupture. In our opinion, the potential for liquefaction and lateral spreading is not significant because of the dense nature of the on -site soils and the groundwater depth. Given the mapped stratigraphy of Pre -Olympia age gravel, which was overridden by the more recent Vashon stade of the Fraser Glaciation, it is our opinion that the potential for liquefaction is minimal. We interpret the structural site conditions to correspond to a seismic Site Class "D" in accordance with Chapter 20 of ASCE 20. This is based on the likely range of equivalent SPT (Standard Penetration Test) blow counts for the soil types observed in the site area. These conditions were assumed to be representative for the conditions based on our experience in the vicinity of the site. These soils are typically not prone to liquefaction and do not constitute a seismic hazard area. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on our observations and site evaluations, it is our opinion as stated above, that the site meets technical criteria of an erosion hazard areas, but not that of a landslide or seismic hazard area. None -the -less, given the height and steepness of the site slopes, the Federal Way building department will require building setbacks from slopes steeper than 3H:1V (Horizontal:Vertical) per the International Building Code (IBC) section 1805. Recommended Setback The IBC requires a building setback from slopes that are steeper than 3H:1V (Horizontal: Vertical) unless evaluated and reduced, and/or a structural setback is provided, by a licensed geotechnical engineer. The setback distance is calculated based on the vertical height of the slope. The typical IBC setback from the top of the slope equals one third the height of the slope. Using the IBC Setback criteria and given the vertical height of the slope below the proposed daylight basement residence has a vertical height of about 40 feet. This would require a setback from the steep slope area of about 17 feet. As currently proposed, the residence will be setback about 5 feet from the top of the steep slope area. Where the setback cannot be met, the IBC allows for a "structural setback' where foundation elements are extended vertically and the setback distance is measured from the base of the deepened foundation element to the face of the slope at the corresponding elevation. Given the slope below the house, we estimate foundation elements will need to be extended a minimum of about 7 feet along the east side of the residence. A detail showing the structural setback configuration is attached as Figure 10. Storm Drainage Based on the results of our shallow subsurface explorations and sloping nature of the site, infiltration of collected stormwater runoff is not feasible. Based on our discussions, we understand G�C)R�sr�u��Es Afi c h u kS. S293 rd St. G HA September 14, 2020 page 1 7 that roof and driveway runoff will be directed back to South 293rd Street, while the footing and basement wall drains should be tightlined to discharge into the stream corridor below the proposed residence. Since no seepage was noted on the upper of the site slopes, the amount of water discharging from the footing and wall drains should be minimal. LIMITATIONS We have prepared this report for Mr. Stan Afichuk and other members of the permitting and design team for use in evaluating a portion of this project. Subsurface conditions described herein are based on our observations of exposed soils on the parcel. This report may be made available to regulatory agencies or others, but this report and conclusions should not be construed as a warranty of subsurface conditions. Subsurface conditions can vary over short distances and can change with time. Variations in subsurface conditions are possible between the explorations and may also occur with time. A contingency for unanticipated conditions should be included in the budget and schedule. Sufficient monitoring, testing and consultation should be provided by our firm during construction to confirm that the conditions encountered are consistent with those indicated by the explorations, to provide recommendations for design changes should the conditions revealed during the work differ from those anticipated, and to evaluate whether earthwork and foundation installation activities comply with contract plans and specifications. The scope of our services does not include services related to environmental remediation and construction safety precautions. Our recommendations are not intended to direct the contractor's methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, except as specifically described in our report for consideration in design. If there are any changes in the loads, grades, locations, configurations or type of facilities to be constructed, the conclusions and recommendations presented in this report may not be fully applicable. If such changes are made, we should be given the opportunity to review our recommendations and provide written modifications or verifications, as appropriate.
