Jones and Associates, Inc. 1.0 Project Description The applicant proposes to plat the property. The number of lots and configuration had not been determined at the time of this report. The property tax identification number is 072104-9032. This study was conducted to determine the type and extent of wetlands on and near the site. 2.0 Site Address, Identification and Directions The property is located on the south side of S.W. 312" St., at the end of loth Place S.W., in Federal Way, Washington (see Figure 1). The street address is 31327 loth Place S.W., Federal Way. The property is further described as located at the western half of the NW 1/4 of NE 1/4, of Section 7, Township 21 North, Range 4 East, of the Willamette Meridian. Directions to the site from the intersection of S. 320th St. and Pacific Hwy. S. are as follows: drive north on Pacific Hwy. S. to S. 312`h St., turn left onto S. 3121h St., drive west on S. 312" St. to 10" Ct. S.W., turn left onto 10th Ct. S.W., drive south on 1Oth Ct. S.W. a short distance to loth Pl. S.W., turn right onto loth Pl. S.W., and park at the Noyes residence. 3.0 Methodology The wetland assessment and delineation were performed using the Routine Small Area Methodology as described in Part IV, Section D of the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (COE, 1987) and the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (DOE, 1997). The Routine Small Area Methodology is "used when the project area is small, plant communities are homogeneous, plant community boundaries are abrupt, and the project is not controversial." The wetland determination was based on the presence of the three criteria for jurisdictional wetlands: hydric soils, wetland hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation. All three criteria must be present in order to classify an area as a wetland. Off -site wetlands were located to determine if buffers fall within the subject property. The wetland assessment included a review of the City of Federal Way aerial photos and the USDA Soil Conservation Service's Soil Survey of King County Area, Washington (Snyder, 1973). Wetland boundaries were delineated and marked with consecutively numbered orange flags, based upon an evaluation of soils, vegetation and hydrologic characteristics. The wetland delineation was completed on June 1, 2001. DMP Engineers, Inc., licensed professional land surveyor and civil engineers, surveyed wetland flags. The wetland boundaries and buffers are presented on the attached wetland map. 4.0 General Site Description One single-family residence is present on -site. The northern half of the property is deciduous forest with a dense scrub/shrub understory. A seasonal open water pond is located in the northeastern corner of the site. A small knoll is present on the southeastern portion of the site, with a plant community of sparse big -leaf maple, blackberry and grasses. The southwestern portion of the site is lawn and ornamental landscaping surrounding the existing residence. The site has gently rolling topography, sloping to the southwest 0-3%. J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc. Paul Noyes Property Federal Way, Washington Figure 1.0 Vicinity Map Way J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc. 5.0 Vegetation 5.1 Vegetation Methodology Rules for determining dominant species were established in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (COE, 1987). Dominants are determined using the 50/20 rule. To use this rule, percent cover is added by order of descending cover until 50% cover is reached. These species are considered dominants. The next most common species is also included as a dominant if it has over 20% cover. Species with less than 5% cover are not considered dominant species. Hydrophytic vegetation has adaptations that allow these species to survive in saturated or inundated environments. These environments are classified according to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin, 1979). The probability of species being found in wetland environments has been determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the National List of Vascular Species that Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (U.S. FWS, 1996) (see Table 1). An indicator status was applied to each species according to its probability of occurring in wetlands. Table 1: Plant Indicator Status Indicator Cate or Symbol Obligate Wetland OBL Facultative Wetland FACW Facultative FAC Facultative Upland FACU Upland UPL Occurrence in Wetlands > 99% 67-99% 34-67% 1-33% > 1% Note: FACW, FAC and FACU have + and - values to represent species near the wetter end of the spectrum (+) and the drier end of the spectrum (-). (National List of Vascular Species that Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary, USFWS) 5.2 Vegetation Results At sample location 1 (SL-1), the plant community is dominated by red alder (Alnus rubra, FAC), hardhack (Spirea douglasii, FACW), willow (Salix sp. FAC) and salal (Gaultheria shallon, FACU). The salal is present on logs and mounds. The plant community is hydrophytic because more than 50% of the dominant species are FAC, FACW or OBL. At SL-2, the plant community is dominated big -leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum, FACU), Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia, FACW), red alder, red huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium, FACU), osoberry (Oemleria cerasiformus, FACU), trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus, FACU), western sword fern (Polystichum munitum, FACU) and bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum, FACU. The plant community is non-hydrophytic because less than 50% of the dominant species are FAC, FACW or OBL. At SL-3, the plant community is dominated by salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, FAC+), osoberry, willow, trailing blackberry, western sword fern and bracken fern. A non-hydrophytic plant community is present because less than 50% of dominant species are FAC, FACW or OBL. At SL-4, the plant community is dominated by western red cedar (Thuja plicata, FAC), black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera, FAC), willow, salmonberry, Himalayan blackberry (Rubus procerus, FACU) and unidentified grasses. A hydrophytic plant community is present because more than 50% of dominant species are FAC, FACW or OBL. J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc. At SL-5, the plant community is dominated by big -leaf maple, trailing blackberry, Himalayan blackberry, and unidentified grasses. A non-hydrophytic plant community is present because less than 50% of dominant species are FAC, FACW or OBL.

(National List of Vascular Species that Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary, USFWS) 6.0 Soils 6.1 Soils Methodology Hydric soils are soils that are "saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part" (NTCHS, 1987). They are either organic soils (peats and mucks), or are mineral soils that are saturated long enough to produce soil properties associated with a reducing environment. These soils have low chroma, and have redoximorphic characteristics (characteristics related to an anaerobic environment) such as redox concentrations (mottles), redox depletions (gleying), or a reduced matrix (a matrix that changes color when exposed to air). 6.2 Soils Results USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) mapped the site as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 0 to 6% slopes (AgB) (See Figure 2.0). Alderwood is classified as a "moderately well drained" soil. In a representative profile "the surface layer and subsoil are very dark brown, dark brown and grayish brown gravelly sandy loam about 27 inches thick. The substratum is grayish brown, weakly consolidated to strongly consolidated glacial till that extends to a depth of 60 inches and more" (SCS, 1973). Alderwood gravelly sandy loam is not listed on the state hydric soils list. Field investigation concurs with soils mapping. C! ti 1 J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc. The SCS mapped the seasonal open water area in the northeast corner of the property as Seattle Muck (Sk). Seattle muck is a "very poorly" drained soil. In a representative profile " the surface layer black muck about 11 inches thick. It is underlain by dark reddish brown, black, very dark brown, and dark brown muck and mucky peat that extends to a depth of 60 inches or more" (SCS, 1973). Field investigation concurs with soils mapping. The soil at SL-1 is a hydric Seattle muck. From 0 to 18+ inches, the "A" horizon is a black (IOYR 2/2) muck. The soils are hydric because they are a one chroma matrix, immediately below the "A" horizon or at ten inches, whichever is shallower (COE, 1987) The soils at SL-2 are a non-hydric Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. From 0 to 2 inches, the "Ao" horizon is a very dark brown (IOYR 2/2) gravelly sandy loam. From 2 to 18+ inches, the "A" horizon is a dark brown (IOYR 3/3) gravelly sandy loam. The soils are non-hydric because they are a three chroma matrix, immediately below the "A" horizon or at ten inches, whichever is shallower (COE, 1987). The soils at SL-3 are a non-hydric Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. From 0 to 6 inches, the "A" horizon is a very dark brown (1 OYR 2/2) gravelly sandy loam. From 6 to 14 inches, the "A" Noyes Property USDA Soil Conservation Service, Sheet 15 Soil Survey of King County, Washington Figure 2.0 Soils Map 5 J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc. horizon is a dark brown (IOYR. 3/3) gravelly sandy loam. From 14 to 18+ inches, the "B" horizon is brown (1OYR 5/3) gravelly sandy loam with prominent yellowish brown (IOYR 5/6) mottles. The soils are non-hydric because they are a three chroma matrix without mottles, immediately below the "A" horizon or at ten inches, whichever is shallower (COE, 1987). The soils at SL-4 are a non-hydric Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. From 0 to 18+ inches, the "A" horizon is a very dark grayish brown (IOYR 3/2) gravelly sandy loam. The soils are non- hydric because they are a two chroma matrix without mottles, immediately below the "A" horizon or at ten inches, whichever is shallower (COE, 1987). The soils at SL-5 are a non-hydric Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. From 0 to 14 inches, the "A" horizon is dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) sandy loam. From 14 to 18+ inches, the `B" horizon is a yellowish brown (1 OYR 5/4) gravelly sandy loam. The soils are non-hydric because they are a four chroma matrix, immediately below the "A" horizon or at ten inches, whichever is shallower (COE, 1987). 7.0 Hydrology 7.1 Hydrology Methodology The 1987 manual requires inundation, flooding, or saturation to the surface for at least 5% to 12.5% of the growing season to satisfy the hydrology requirements for jurisdictional wetlands (COE, 1987). The growing season can either be defined by the number of frost -free days (temperatures above 280F), or the period during which the soil temperature at a depth of 19.7 inches is above biological zero (41 OF). Wetland hydrology indicators such as inundation, saturation, water marks, and drainage patterns in wetlands were assessed. 7.2 Hydrology Results Wetland hydrology was present at SL-1. The soil was saturated to the surface. Inundation is present in the open water portion of the wetland. Sample locations SL-2, SL-3, SL-4 and SL-5 were not saturated at the soil surface. Indicators of saturation to the soil surface are not present. The soils profiles were loose and dry. 8.0 Wetland Determination One wetland is present on -site, a Palustrine shrub/scrub and forested wetland system (Cowardin, 1979). All three wetland criteria are clearly present. The wetland is seasonally inundated. Dominant plant species include obligates and facilitative wet indicator species. The soil is a histosol, Seattle muck. The wetland is identified on the City of Federal Way aerial photo (see attached). The wetland may have been enlarged for use as a retention/detention facility. 9.0 Wetland Rating and Buffer Requirement The City of Federal Way Code (FWCC) defines three categories for rating wetlands. The wetland is approximately 47,000 square feet including off -site area. Wetlands larger than one acre meet the definition of a Category II wetlands (see attached). City of Federal Way Code requires a 100- foot buffer for Category II wetlands. 10.0 Wetland Functional Assessment Wetland and buffer functions were assessed using the Wetland and Buffer Functions and Semi- 0 J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc. quantitative Performance Assessment (SAM) (Cooke, 1996). Flood/stormwater functions are high. The wetland is located in the upper third of the drainage basin and is seasonally inundated. The surface capacity is roughly 3-4 acre feet of water. Wildlife habitat functions are moderate. There is vertical structure in the plant community. Some invasive plant species are present. The wetland is surrounded roads and residential development. There is fair connectivity to forested uplands and grassland. The on -site wetland is privately owned and lacks public recreation opportunities. Water quality benefits are high. Pollutants from street surfaces and lawn fertilizer made be removed by or reduced in this wetland. 11.0 Authority This wetland determination is in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the objective of which is to "maintain and restore the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the waters of the United States" (COE, 1987). Wetlands are "areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas" (EPA, 40 CFR 230.3 and CE, 33 CFR 328.3). 12.0 Limitations Wetland determinations and delineations are not final until approved by regulatory agencies and/or local jurisdictions. J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. does not guarantee acceptance or approval by regulatory agencies, or that any intended use will be achieved. 13.0 References COE. 1987.

On July 20, 2000, the City conducted a preapplication conference for a proposed four -lot short plat at the above referenced site.' Your July 9, 2001, letter indicates that due to development costs, you will not proceed with the platting project at this time. You enclosed a copy of a wetland delineation and wetland location survey prepared for your property. The delineation dated June 13, 2001, was prepared by J.S. Jones and Associates, Inc, and the wetland location survey dated June 8, 2001, was prepared by DMP Inc. Typically, the City's wetland consultant reviews wetland delineation for compliance with Federal Way City Code (FWCQ standards and verification at the expense of the applicant. However, you requested that no additional costs be incurred. Therefore, your wetland delineation will not be sent to the wetland consultant and will remain unverified. The delineation and survey will be placed in the above referenced address file. Please be advised that should any clearing, grading, or development activity be proposed within the wetland or wetland buffer, the wetland delineation will be required to be verified by the City's wetland consultant at the expense of the applicant in advance of land use review. If you wish to have the wetland delineation verified in advance of development activity, contact me to arrange for a cost estimate by the City's wetland consultant. Your letter states that you intend to physically demarcate the 100-foot wetland buffer with a continuous fence or barrier, to create a walldng trail, a driveway to the front door of your residence, and remove some dead trees, all outside of the 100-foot wetland buffer. The wetland location survey did not include existing structures or improvements, and staff in unable to verify where the proposed ' Federal Way File Number 00-103511-PC. Doc. I.D. #15550 Mr. Paul Noyes Page 2 July 17, 2001 work will occur. Please be'advisbd that fences over six feet in height require a building permit and that removal of vegetation and trees is regulated under FWCC Section 22-1093 (enclosed). If there are dead, diseased, or dying trees that that you wish to remove, please provide a site plan showing the specific location of these trees requested to be removed. The Building Official will review your request. She will provide a letter of her decision following a site visit and review. Removal of any other vegetation will be subject to Land Surface Modification approval (FWCC Section 22-1093) unless performed in conjunction with a development application. I can be reached at (253) 661-4103 if you have any questions or wish to pursue any options identified in this letter. Sincerely, Deb Barker Enc: Building Permit Application FWCC Section 22-1093 Land Surface Modification c: Mary Kate Gaviglio, Building Official Doc. I.D. #15550 November 26, 1997 Mr. Paul Noyes 31327 10th PI SW Federal Way, WA 98003 Dear Mr. Noyes, Thank you for your written request to remove trees in the wetland buffer area located on your property. I conducted a site visit on November 12, 1997. As a result of that visit I have determined the subject trees do not meet the criteria for removal contained in the Federal Way City Code Section 22-1093 (9). The trees appear healthy and do not show any sign of root instability. There appears to be no imminent blow -down hazard. For these reasons I must deny your request for removal of the trees. If you disagree with this decision you may hire the services of a licensed arborist to inspect the site and prepare a written report to be forwarded to the city for consideration. Furthermore, the decision could be reviewed under process I land use process. If you would like more information about process I please call Principal Planner Greg Fewins at (253) 661-4108. If you have questions regarding this letter or need additional information please call me at (253) 661-4112. Sincerely, M.K. Gaviglio Building Official RECEIVED B COMMUNITY DEVE14PMENI DEPARTMENT 01- 10Z6`37-A6 J U L a 9 2001 City of Federal Way Planning Department Re: 00-103511-00-PC; Noyes Short Plat Preapplication 31327 10a' PL SW, Federal Way, WA Attn: Deb Barker July 9, 2001 A feasibility study has been completed on subject property. Due to the combined effects of current regulations, further development would be cost prohibitive. In accordance with verbal instruction from the Planning Department, a copy of my Wet - Land Assessment and the accompaning survey are provided. My intent is to formalize or otherwise make official, the boundaries of the wetland and the 100 ft buffer. And to physically demarcate those boundaries. I have no plans to use the areas outside the buffer in any way that will require a permit. The extend of my plans are to perhaps make a walking trail, a driveway to the front door of my residence and the removal of a few dead trees, all outside the buffer area. The boundaries of the wetland were flagged incidental to the study and survey. I would request that another costly survey not be required. The extent of the buffer would be staked by measuring a 100 foot offset from the existing flags, at which point I would place a continuous fence or barrier. Enclosed are the Wetland Assessment Report and the survey map. Accompanying the map is a list of bearings and line lengths developed by the surveyors, dPt;„:- wetland and its relationship to property boundaries. Please let me know if you have further c1iiestior Thanks. 5'J 07/02/2001 14:16 2538546663 DMP INC PAGE 01/02 page 3- Project: 01390 Lot Map Check Lot name: BNDY North: 12572.6852 Line Course: N 88-57-09 W North: 12578.7028 Line Course: S 01-01-09 W North: 11951.9872 Line Course: S 89-00-27 E North: 11946.2886 Line Course: N 01-02-08 E North: 12572.6854 Paul Noyes East: 21629.7785 Length: 329.16643488 East: 21300.6671 Length: 626.81474172 East: 21289.5180 Length: 328.98756223 East: 21618.4562 Length: 626.49910296 East: 21629.7789 Fri Jun 08 15:19:44 2001 Perimeter: 1911.46784179 Area: 206,218 sq.ft. 4.73 acres Mapcheck Closure - (Uses listed courses, radii, and deltas) Error Closure: 0.0004 Course: N 56-40-36 E Error North: 0.00022 East: 0.00034 Precision 1: 4,699,840.13687031 Lot name: WET North: 12572.6852 Line Course: N 88-57-09 W North: 12576.8269 Line Course: S 01-02-51 W North: 12572.1085 Line Course: S 07-13-42 E North: 12552.6753 Line Course: S 40-40-48 E North: 12539.5758 Line Course: S 00-36-55 W North: 12510.5531 Line Course: S 08-45-35 E North: 12497.9434 Line Course.: S 18-44-47 W North: 12479,1414 Line Course: S 02-01-55 W North: 12469.6507 Lime Course: S 15-11-51 W North: 12458.3130 Line Course: S 46-55-01 E North: 12450.8516 Line Course: N 72-59-38 E North: 12452.6625 Line Course: N 75-16-51 E North: 12456.8997 Line Course: N 86-29-07 E East: 21629.7785 Length: 226.55331189 East: 21403.2631 Length: 4.71912558 East: 21403.1768 Length: 19.58892594 East: 21405.6415 Length: 17.27336153 East: 21416.9009 Length: 29.02442776 East: 21416.5892 Length: 12.75843980 East: 21418.5322 Length: 19.85530294 East: 21412.1511 Length: 9.49674949 Fast: 21411.8144 Length: 11.74852403 East: 21408.7346 Length: 10.92357831 East: 21416.7128 Length: 6.19180096 East: 21422.6338 Length: 16.67662816 East: 21438.7632 Length: 23.99087413 COMMUNITY RECEIVED BY DEPARTMENT 07/02/2001 14:16 2538546663 DMP INC PAGE 02/02 1 Project: 01390 Lot Map Check North: 12458.3705 Line Course: S 73-43-08 E North: 12455.1548 Line Course: S 76-45-22 E North: 12450,8294 Line Course: S 47-39-11 E North: 12440.9521 Line Course: S 64-53-44 E North; 12435.6323 Line Course: S 70-18-41 E North: 12429.1611 Line Course: N 33-55-04 E North: 12431.3868 Liue Course: S 37-58-11 E North: 12419.9831 Line Course: N 67-18-00 E North: 12425.2508 Line Course: S 58-12-41 E North: 12423.6597 Line Course: S 02-38-38 E North: 12410.6586 Line Course: S 62-13-06 E North: 12407.5113 Line Course: S 83-49-56 E North: 12404.8166 Line Course: N 79-06-25 E North: 12405.7918 Line Course: N 32-23-38 E North: 12415.2591 Line Course: S 59-07-11 E North: 12407.0816 Line Course: S 88-57-52 E North: 12406.8540 Line Course: N 01-02-08 E North: 12572.6853 Perimeter: 774.98561971 page 2 Paul Noyes Fri Jun 08 15:19:44 2001 East: 21462.7089 Length: 11.47046765 East: 21473.7194 Length: 18.88013244 East: 21492.0974 Length: 14.66300549 East: 21502.9345 Length: 12.53865051 East: 21514.2887 Length: 19.20770307 East: 21532.3735 Length: 2.68201782 East: 21533.8700 Length: 14.46550553 East: 21542.7699 Length: 13.65019968 East: 21555.3627 Length: 3.02026370 East: 21557.9299 Length: 13.01498635 East; 21558.5303 Length: 6.75236289 East: 21564.5043 Length: 25.08126882 East: 21589.4404 Length: 5.16037049 East: 21594.5078 Length: 11.21215830 East: 21600.5145 Length: 15.93299641 East: 21614.1889 Length: 12.59407794 East: 21626.7809 Length: 165.85840212 East: 21629.7785 Area: 30,616 sq.ft. 0.70 acres Mapcheck Closure - (Uses listed courses, radii, and deltas) Error Closure: 0.0001 Course: N 22-14-38 W Error North: 0.00013 East:-0.00005 Precision 1: 5,557,130.10694989 r4 -11N�0 Lp e GRAPHIC SCALE 10 0 25 50 100 2( ( IN FEET) 1 inch = 50 ft.
