Re: Files #21-100016-UP; 21-100017-UP; 20-104505-UP; TECHNICAL COMMENT LETTER 2
Henry Reasonable Use – Parcels #142103 9069, 9087, & 9043, Off SW 333rd Street, Federal Way
Dear Michelle Henry:
This letter is a follow-up to the March 10, 2021, technical comment letter. In that letter, it was noted that the
critical areas peer review does not address the proposed utility stream crossing. The Wetland and Drainage
Corridors Evaluation & Delineation Report & Conceptual Wetland Mitigation Plan for Reasonable Use
Exception submitted April 2, 2021, was peer-reviewed by the city’s wetland consultant, Landau Associates.
Notable comments are listed below.
- Submit a complete mitigation plan per Federal Way Revised Code (FWRC) 19.145.140.
- Confirm delineation of the ordinary high-water mark (OHWM) of Stream B.
- Update the Stream B classification from Type F to Type N.
- Satisfy all of the evaluation criteria provided in FWRC 19.145.080(2).
- Update the project evaluation for the stream crossing criteria per FWRC 19.145.320(2).
Please address all of the technical comments in the enclosed June 7, 2021, letter from Landau.
The environmentally critical areas code is accessible here:
