☒ Yes ☐ No ☐ Don’t know
7g. Summarize what the mitigation plan is meant to accomplish, and describe how a watershed approach was
used to design the plan. [help]
Wetland impacts will be mitigated through a multi-part mitigation plan that includes elements of wetland
creation, wetland enhancement, wetland and stream buffer restoration and enhancement, and stream buffer
replacement. Temporary construction impacts resulting from site grading will be restored post -construction.
Wetland creation is currently proposed at an approximately 2:1 ratio – accounting for some of the wetlands
only requiring a 1.5:1 ratio for compensation.
Selecting a mitigation site using a watershed approach is a step-wise process of determining both the
suitability and sustainability of a potential mitigation site within the landscape. The process aims to guide
potential mitigation to those areas within the landscape where success is most likely to occur. The process is
outlined in “Selecting Wetland Mitigation Sites Using a Watershed Approach” (Hruby, et al., 2009). A
watershed plan does not exist for this area. This mitigation site was chosen based on its availability (under
same ownership) as well as its connectivity to other critical areas, consistent with the watershed approach.
7h. Use the table below to list the type and rating of each wetland impacted, the extent and duration of the
impact, and the type and amount of mitigation proposed. Or if you are submitting a mitigation plan with a

9l. Name each species listed under the federal Endangered Species Act that occurs in the vicinity of the
project area or might be affected by the proposed work. [help]
No listed species are noted as occurring on the site. Bald eagles are likely to use North Lake for foraging, and
salmonids may occur within North Lake and surrounding waters. Man-made obstructions appear to restrict
movement of salmonids upstream from Hylebos Creek, which has known populations of salmonids. Stream
AC on-site, North Lake, and nearby off-site streams have the potential for salmonids. Stormwater discharges
from the site have the potential to affect salmonids downstream, though extensive on-site treatment will
minimize the potential, thus justifying a “may affect but likely to adversely effect” determination for listed
species.
