Hello,
On Wednesday, October 12, 2022, Ecology Wetland Specialist Neil Molstad met at the site referenced in
the subject line of this email with Natalie Kamieniecki (City of Federal Way), Evan Mann (SoundBuilt
Homes), and Curtis Wambach (EnviroVector). The purpose of this site visit was to resolve conflicting
information regarding the presence of regulated wetlands on the property.
During the site visit the entire property was visually inspected. Soil profiles in three locations were
informally examined for the presence of hydric soil field indicators, and none were found.
Since no portion of the property was found to meet all three wetland criteria (vegetation, hydrology,
and soils) during the October 12 site visit, Ecology concurs with the conclusion reached in EnviroVector’s
September 21, 2021 304th Street Property Critical Areas Report that no regulated wetlands or other
waters of the state are present at this site.
Please feel free to call or email me with any questions regarding the above.
Sincerely,
Neil Molstad
