Dear Mr. Lagers:
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Construction Monitoring
• Environmental Sciences
In accordance with your request, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this revised
letter providing additional pavement loading and recommendations for the subject project as it
relates to the existing coal mine hazard and buffer area. We understand as part of the
referenced final conditional approval (item #18), further analysis that pavement designs near
the proposed trash collection area can withstan'd heavy traffic loading from commercial and
emergency vehicles. We understand the trash enclosure area has been relocated out of the
Coal Mine Hazard buffer area.

In our opinion, the following pavement section recommendations will provide adequate support
for occasional HS-20 traffic loading associated with trash collection and loading from
commercial/emergency vehicles including, but not limited to, parking of fully-loaded emergency
vehicles. The design recommendations were evaluated using a maximum gross vehicle weight
of 50,000 pounds and outrigger pressure of 75 pounds per square inch {psi) for emergency
vehicles. This section is also provided in the referenced geotechnical engineering study which
requires the subgrade be proof-rolled using a loaded dump truck, which would mimic the weight
imposed by loaded trash and emergency vehicle loads. In our opinion, the occasional heavy
traffic loading and parking is considered transient and is not likely to cause subsidence with.in
the existing coal mine hazard area. "The proposed parking/trash facility would be an
appropriate use located within the hazard area".
Heavy Pavements
The performance of site pavements is largely related to the condition of the underlying
subgrade. To provide adequate pavement performance, the subgrade should be in a firm and
unyielding condition when subjected to proofrolling with a loaded three-axle (100,000 pound
gross vehicle weight) dump truck. Structural fill in pavement areas should be compacted as
recommended in the "Site Preparation and Earthwork" section of the referenced geotechnical
engineering study. It is possible that soft, wet, or otherwise unsuitable subgrade areas may still
exist after base grading activities. Areas of unsuitable or yielding subgrade conditions will
require remedial measures such as overexcavation, placement of a geotextile and thicker
crushed rock or structural fill sections prior to pavement.
For relatively high volume, heavily loaded pavements subjected to moderate to high, loaded
truck traffic, the following preliminary pavement sections can be considered:
• Three inches of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) placed over six inches of crushed rock base
(CRB), or;
• Three inches of HMA placed over four and one half inches of asphalt treated base
(ATB).
The HMA, ATB and CRB materials should conform to WSDOT specifications. All soil base
material should be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density.

MITIGATION PLAN 3-13-2014
NWS-2012-1281
Phare 253-859-(615
Fax: 253-852-4732
This report describes the proposed wetland mitigation for the Fieldbrook Commons PUD
project, located on the east side of Benson Road South, and north of Cedar Avenue South
(SE I 72"d Street) in the City of Renton, Washington (the "site").
2.0 PROPOSED PROJECT & MITIGATION SEQUENCING
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a multi-family apartment complex as
the property has been zoned for, as well as planned for in the City of Renton
Comprehensive plan. The need for apartment units within Renton is high and this project
has been proposed to meet that need.
The proposed project is the construction of a 161 PUD project with associated
infrastructure. The location of Wetlands D, E and F result in most of the developable
property on the site being encumbered by wetland or buffer. Since these wetlands,
particularly Wetlands E and Fare of low value, and Wetland Dis small in size but
because of its linear shape impacts the sites usable space so greatly, we are proposing
filling these three wetlands.
As a result, it is our intention to fill these wetlands and provide adequate mitigation for
their lost functions by creating wetland on the eastern side of the site in and around
Wetlands A, Band C. Impacts to wetlands must be justified through a mitigation
sequence as detailed in City of Renton Code. Ideally we would be able to use the King
County fee mitigation banking process as is preferred by the Corps and W ADOE. We
are in agreement that using the fee-in-lieu mitigation option would be ideal and the
easiest/fastest way to mitigate the proposed impacts. However, the City of Renton has
refused to let us use this as a mitigation option as it moves the mitigation area outside the
City limits and in their opinion is a net loss of critical areas to the City. It appears the
City looks at the mitigation, and trail through the buffer as part of the "public benefit"
aspect of this project. The construction of the mitigation onsite, as well as the placement
of a trail through the buffer are being required by the City to allow us to construct this
, ' " ..

project. It is our opinion that the trail does increase the amount of human intrusion into
the wetland, and would be best left off the plan. However, the City of Renton will not
accept this and are forcing us to bring a trail through the buffer regardless of the logic.
The next best option is on-site replacement of the wetland area and functions as proposed
in our mitigation plan.
The attached mitigation plan has been prepared with the recommended documents
elements as requested by Suzanne Anderson of the US Army Corps of Engineers in
previous comments. This plan is prepared in the exact same manner and with the same
information as numerous mitigation plans we have submitted and had approved by the
Corps for various Nationwide as well as Individual Permits. As requested the monitoring
has been modified to include I Oyears of monitoring.
( c) Per the Federal Mitigation Rule, you must provide additional infonnation to
document that a watershed approach to compensatory mitigation was used for the mitigation plan
[33 CFR 332.3(c)]. A link to Wetland Mitigation Situ Using a Watershed Approach, Ecology
Publication #09-06-032 is available from our wcbpage at www.nws.usace.army.mil, select
"Regulatory Branch, Permit lnfonnation", then "Mitigation Resources", then "Mitigation Tools".
We recommend that you demonstrate that the chosen mitigation site satisfies criteria in Charts 2
and 3 of the site selection guidance (i.e., identified as a site with potential and that is
sustainable); and that it satisfies criteria in Charts 4 through 11 for the appropriate functions.
Using Chart 2 from the Watershed approach which is an analysis utilized to pick a
mitigation site is not really applicable, as the City of Renton is requiring we conduct the
mitigation on the site where the impact is occurring. In addition, there is no other
available mitigation sites within this drainage basin that is owned by either the City or the
client for use as a mitigation receiving site. Therefore, mitigating on-site is the only
feasible alternative given these constraints.
In regards to Chart 3;
Question 3A: Identify /1,e walersl,ed processes //,a/ have been alteretl willlin Ille llydrologic
unit wllere Ille mitigation site is located.
Human activities can cllange waterslled processes by changing water flows; introducing
nutrients, pollutants, non-native species, and sediment; and by fragmenting habitats.
Changes in these processes often create problems that can be improved through mitigation
activities. To begin you need to identify the major landscape-scale problems (i.e., alterations
lo processes, not structure) that exist in the hydrologic unit where your site is found This will
help you identify which restoration or enhancement actions will be the most effective in that
hydrologic uni/. Clleck the appropriate column in the following table to identify problems
tllat might exist. The last column notes if the altered process has already been identified in an
existing watershed plan as a problem that needs lo be addressed.

The current flooding events within the Soos Creek drainage are generally not increasing due
to the current use of modern storm water facilities within the basin. However, there still is
some increase as there is more water getting to the basin faster in storm events.
There is less eutrophication in rivers and streams in the basin primarily from removals of
livestock and old septic systems.
Water quality has been reduced in the basin to a degree.
Some stream and bank erosion does occur within the basin.
Habitat has become more fragmented as the area's population grows and more development
occurs.
Question 3B: Will the mitigution result in a wetland of the appropriate hydrogeomorphic
(HGM) class for the landscape setting?
Wetland mitigation sites are sustainable only if the type of wetland being proposed is
appropriate for its position in the landscape. The HGM classification of wetlands is based on
characteristics of water movement and position in a landscape. Therefore, it can be used to
identify appropriate wetland types for d!fferenl locations in a hydrologic unit.
Yes, we will be mitigating for depressional wetlands with a depressional wetland
mitigation area.
Question JC: Will the primary source of water to the mitigation site be appropriate for the
HGMclass?
Groundwater and direct precipitation will be the source of hydrology for the wetland
mitigation site as was the source for the impacted wetlands. Hydro logic monitoring of the
mitigation site has shown that surficial groundwater elevations in the mitigation area will
sufficiently hydrate the creation area with soils saturated to the surface and some standing
water in the growing season.
Question 3D: Will the site have an adequate .rnpply of water to maintain a wetland without
engineering the delivery of water that would require long term control or maintenance?
The surficial groundwater monitoring and proposed grades should create a wetland area that
will require no additional or artificial source of water to maintain its viability. It is thought
that Wetland A which is located within the area of an old mine is discharging water from
historic mining and as such there is an abundant supply of water in this area.
Question 3E: Will the mitigation activities maintain hydric soils, if they exist, at the site?
Removing hydric soils can decrease the potential for success of wetland restoration. Hydric
soils often contain a seedbank of wetland plants that supplement any planting you may
propose.

Hydric soils from the filled wetlands will be mixed with topsoil and utilized in the newly
created wetland maintaining viable seedbanks.
Question 3F: Can the mitigation be designed lo control aggressive plant species?
There is currently not a predominance of aggressive invasive or weedy species in the area
of the proposed mitigation or the two wetlands that wi II be connected together with the
creation. Standard invasive species control will be utilized in the mitigation area which
has proven successful in other mitigation sites.

The site contains three small wetlands which the developer proposes to fill and mitigate
for through the creation of a new wetland area and enhanced buffer areas for the existing
and remaining wetlands A, B & C in the eastern third of the site. Wetland F located on
the western side of the site is Category llI wetland measuring l 595sf. Due to the
requirement to provide a secondary fire access directly out to I 08 1h Ave S.E. the
developer is unable to avoid direct impact to this wetland. Wetland E, located in the
center of the site and adjacent to S.E. l 72"d St. measures 68sf and is rated as a Category
IV wetland. Due to the requirement to dedicate and construct the other half of the S.E.
172nd St. ROW the developer is unable to avoid direct impacts to this wetland. Wetland D
is located generally in the center of the project and is rated as a Category Ill wetland
measuring 7671 sf.
b. Minimize any wetland or buffer impacts;
The developer previously attempted to plan roadways and improvements around Wetland
D, however the location and shape of the wetland impacted the vehicular circulation and

building locations to such an extent that the project would not be financially feasible to
construct.
c. Restore any wetlands or buffer impacted or lost temporarily; and
Restoration of Wetland Din this location would not be feasible due to the location of the
impacts and configuartion of the parcel and remaining wetland.
d. Compensate for any permanent wetland or buffer impacts by one of the following
methods:
i. Restoring a former wetland and provide buffers at a site once exhibiting
wetland characteristics to compensate for wetlands lost;
This is not applicable to this site as no historic wetlands are located on the property.
ii. Creating new wetlands and buffers for those lost; and
A total of9,334sfofwetland will be filled.

The proposed mitigation will create 25,430sf of wetland, which exceeds the required
USA COE ratios by 6, 796sf. The extra wetland being created over the W ADOE
recommended ratios is a result of the City of Renton having a higher mitigation ratio
requirement than the Corps.
As seen in Table 2 below, using the three main functions from the W ADOE Rating
System recognized by the Corps, a substantial functional lift will be attained from the
connection of Wetlands A and C with 25,430sfofadditional wetland over the existing
functions of the proposed fill wetlands.

The newly created wetland will connect to existing Category lil wetlands (Wetlands A
and C) and provide enough lift that this wetland will now be considered a Category II
wetland under the W ADOE rating system. This is a substantial lift in function, surface
water storage and species richness over the fill of Wetlands D, E & F, which are
generally low value Category Ill and IV wetlands.
Hydrologic monitoring of mitigation site and general construction overview
To compensate for the impact to 9,334sf of Category Ill & IV wetland, we will create
25,430sf of wetland between Wetlands A and C. This results in an overall wetland
mitigation ratio of2.72:l (createdwetland:impactedwetland). This mitigation will
create Category II wetland for a combination of Category Ill and IV wetland impacts. As
depicted on the attached Final Mitigation Plan, 25,430sf of area will be excavated out to a
similar depth to the existing wetland in two areas to intercept the surficial groundwater
table and create conditions favorable to create wetland hydrology.
A series of 6 monitoring pits/wells were located within the proposed wetland mitigation
area. These were monitored with weekly site visits from April of 2012-August 2012 as
well as March and early April of 2013. At each of these points soil saturation and water
table levels were measured to determine what surficial groundwater elevations are, to
facilitate designing grades for the new wetland creation area. What we found was that
within the proposed creation area, groundwater levels in the early growing season area

between 14" -30" below the existing surface (see table below). It is assumed in the very
early growing season (February and March) the groundwater elevations are shallower
than the measurements we took, meaning the groundwater elevations are closer to the soil
surface.
As shown on the attached Final Mitigation Plan Sheets WI-W3, we utilized these
existing groundwater contours to create the new grades for our mitigation site. As can be
seen by the grades and associated cross-sections, the grades will remove soil down to the
existing groundwater elevations to create wetland areas with soils saturated to the surface
for the early growing seasons, to also include flat areas that will hold some shallow I" -3"
of surface water to provide a variety of wetland hydro logic regimes from saturated, to
seasonally flooded. The fact that the excavation is being brought to the higher levels of
groundwater within the growing season, and will not cut into the surficial groundwater
table, should alleviate the concern of intercepting and draining off this water. All we are
doing is removing the surface soil above the existing sloping groundwater table to make
those saturated soils closer to the surface. Soil disturbance of the groundwater retaining
portion of the soil column will not occur.
Although creation of a slope type wetland is not the most conventional or common
mitigation method, it is a feasible method of wetland creation when conditions warrant its
use. Our company has been involved in two larger wetland creations using this type of
concept, most recently a 3 acre wetland creation with over IO' of vertical drop across the
landscape in sloping of the creation area (see Snohomish County Parks Centennial Trail
II mitigation plan reviewed and approved by Jonathan Smith of the Corps). By using the
same method of removing soil down to the level of the highest groundwater elevations as
is proposed in the Fieldbrook project, we successfully created a 3 acre sloping wetland in
the previously described project.

A small berm will be placed between the wetland creation area and Wetland B. This will
prevent (in the unlikely case of surface water overtopping the edge of the wetland) the
wetland creation area between Wetlands A and C from draining into Wetland B.
Hydrologic monitoring will be conducted using peizometers in the proposed mitigation
area through the winter and spring to verify groundwater elevations. This area will then
be graded back at a slope no steeper than 3: l (horizontal :vertical). The area will then be
planted with a mix of native trees, shrubs and herbaceous species and will also include
several habitat features (logs and snags) to increase its habitat function.
As depicted on the attached Field brook Commons Mitigation & Grading Plan ( dated 9-
23-13), a split rail fence will be placed at the edge of the wetland buffer. There are no
living spaces or recreational space next to the wetland or its buffer limiting use of this
area. However, the City of Renton is requiring that the applicant provide a trail through
the wetland buffer as depicted on the plan. We have moved this trail to the north,
splitting the buffer area between the wetland creation area and Wetland B to the north to
maximize distance of the trail from the wetland as best possible.
Signage and a split rail fence along the trail indicates the character of the critical area and
will discourage intrusion into the wetland or buffer.
All lighting will be located outside the wetland and buffer. All lighting in the developed
portion of the site will be directed away from the wetland and its associated buffer.

The goal will be to create at least 25,430sf of area meeting all three wetland criteria
(hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology) as specified in the
Washington State Wetlands Identification Manual (W ADOE, March 1997) and the
Western Mountains, Valleys and Coast region Supplement (Version 2.0) dated June 24,
2010. All disturbed buffer areas will be restored with a dense planting of native trees and
shrubs. The resulting wetland creation area will be monitored for IO years. The creation
area will be delineated at Years 5 and IO to determine if 25,430sf of area meeting
wetland criteria has been created. If there is not at least 25,430sfofwetland created, the
shortage will be made up with either;
I. Fixing any small grading or hydrology issue which may be impacting the overall
size of the creation area, or;
2. Purchase of mitigation credits from the King County Fee program or other similar
program at that time.
Site Protection Instrument
The entire mitigation site as well as the buffer and undisturbed wetlands will be placed
within a Native Growth Protection Easement (NOPE) and recorded on title prior to
occupancy of the project.
Long Term Maintenance
The mitigation area will be monitored and maintained over the IO year monitoring
period. This will include trash removal, weed and invasive species removal, repair of
fencing and signage. After the required IO years maintenance and monitoring period, the
facility operating manual will include a description of the NOPE are and what type of
maintenance can and should occur within this area. Management of the facility will be
responsible for this work following the IO year monitoring and maintenance period.

PROPOSED MITIGATION
1.0 MITIGATION PROJECT OVERVIEW
March 13, 2014
Page 13
To compensate for the fill of a 9,334sf Category III & IV wetlands, it is proposed to
create 25,430sfofwetland between Wetlands A and C. Wetlands to be filled include
Wetland D (7,671 sf Category III wetland), Wetland E ( 68sf Category IV wetland) &
Wetland F (1,595sf category III wetland).
2.0 MITIGATION GOALS
2.1 Mitigation Goals
The mitigation proposal is to connect Wetlands A and C with an area of25,430sfof
wetland. The wetland creation areas will be densely planted with native vegetation. The
use of diverse native plantings are expected to significantly improve the overall function
of the wetland and buffer as it will remove dense thickets of exotic blackberry as well as
add emergent and shrub plant communities into what is now, a single class forested
wetland.
2.2 Mitigation Goals
2.2.1 Create 25,430sf of emergent, scrub shrub and forested wetland.
3.0 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
The construction sequence of this project will be implemented as follows:
3. I Pre-construction meeting
3'.2 Construction staking
3.3 Construction fencing and erosion control
3.4 Clearing and grading
3.5 Stabilization of mitigation area
3.6 Plant material installation
3. 7 Construction inspection
3.8 Agency approval
3.9 IO year Monitoring inspection and reporting
3.10 Silt fence removal
3.11 Project completion
3.1 Pre-construction Meeting
A pre-construction meeting will be held on-site prior to commencement of construction,
to include the biologist, the City, and the contractor. The approved plans and
specifications will be reviewed to ensure that all parties involved understand the intent of
the construction documents, specifications, site environmental constraints, sequences, and
inspection requirements.
3.2 Construction Staking
Fieldbrook/# 11-121
Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
March 13, 2014
Page 14
The limits of clearing and grading near the critical areas will be marked in the field by a
licensed professional land surveyor prior to commencement of construction activities.
3.3 Construction Fencing & Erosion Control
All erosion control measures adjacent to the critical areas, including silt fencing and
orange construction fencing, will be installed. Erosion control fencing will remain
around the mitigation area until clearing, grading and mulch placement are complete in
upland areas outside the critical areas.
3.4 Clearing & Grading
Clearing and grading in and near the existing sensitive area will be per the approved Final
Mitigation Plans.
3.5 Stabilization of Mitigation Area
All graded areas in the wetland or buffer will be stabilized with mulch upon completion
of grading. Orange construction fencing and erosion control fences will be restored (if
necessary) and placed around the critical areas.
3.6 Plant Material Installation
All plant material will be planted by hand per detail and Construction and Planting Notes.
The Mitigation Plan specifies the required size, species, quantity, and location of plant
materials to be installed. The contractor will mulch areas disturbed during the planting
process. Upon completion of the planting, the erosion control fencing will be restored
and repaired. Plant substitutions or modifications to locations shall be approved in
writing by the Owner's biologist prior to installation.
3. 7 Construction Inspection
Upon completion of installation, the biologist will conduct an inspection to confirm
proper implementation of the Mitigation Plan. Any corrections, substitutions or missing
items will be identified in a "punch list" for the landscape contractor. Items of particular
importance will be soils in pits, pit size, plant species, plant size, mulch around pits, and
tree staking.
Upon completion of planting, if installation or materials vary significantly from the
Mitigation Plan, the contractor will submit a reproducible "as-built" drawing to the
Owner. The As-built and installation sign-off report will be submitted to the Corps at
that time.
3.8 Agency Approval
Following acceptance of the installation by the City, the City biologist should prepare a
letter granting approval of the installation.
3.9 Monitoring
Fieldbrook/#11-121
Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
March 13, 2014
Page 15
The site (wetland creation, buffer enhancement, buffer restoration and areas of temporary
disturbance) will be monitored for IO years to insure the success of the mitigation project.
If additional years of monitoring are required by the Corps, the plan will be revised to
reflect this change. Any areas of temporary impacts that require restoration will be also
monitored for the full IO year monitoring period.
3.10 Silt Fence Removal
Erosion control fencing adjacent to the mitigation area will remain in place for at least
one year, and/or until all areas adjacent to the mitigation area have been stabilized. The
City's Biologist may recommend that the fencing remain in place for a longer duration.
4.0 CONSTRUCTION AND PLANTING NOTES
4. 1 Site Preparation & Grading
4.1.1 The Landscape Contractor will approve existing conditions of subgrade prior to
initiation of any mitigation installation work.
The Landscape Contractor will inform the Owner of any discrepancies between the
approved construction document and existing conditions.
4.1.2 The General Contractor will flag the limits of clearing with orange construction
fencing and will observe these limits during construction. No natural features or
vegetation will be disturbed beyond the designated "limits of clearing".
4.1.3 The Landscape Contractor will hand grub all non-native invasive plant species
including the removal of root crowns. These species may include, but are not limited to
Himalayan blackberry, evergreen blackberry, English ivy, and English holly. Weed
debris will be disposed of off-site.
4.1.4 The wetland area will be excavated to the depths shown on the Final Mitigation
Grading Plan and brought to final grade with 8" of topsoil. The biologist will be on-site
to confirm the grading is acceptable for planting. A total of 4" -6" of compost will be
incorporated into the upper 12" of all graded areas in the wetland creation area.
4.2 Plant Materials
4.2.1 All plant materials will be as specified in the plant schedule. Only vigorous
plants free of defects, diseases and infestation are acceptable for installation.
4.2.2 All plant materials will conform to the standards and size requirements of ANSI
Z60. I "American Standard for Nursery Stock". All plant materials will be native to the
northwest, and preferably the Puget Sound Region. Plant materials will be propagated
•
Fieldbrook/#11-121
Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
March 13, 2014
Page 16
from native stock; no cultivars or horticultural varieties will be allowed. All plant
materials wi II be grown from nursery stock unless otherwise approved.
4.2.3 No balled and burlapped, or bare root plantings will be used. Only container
stock to be used.
4.2.4 All plant materials stored on-site longer than two (2) weeks will be organized in
rows and maintained by the contractor at no additional cost to the owner. Plant materials
temporarily stored will be subject to inspection and approval prior to installation.
4.2.5 Substitution requests must be submitted in writing to the Owner and approved by
the Owner's biologist in writing prior to delivery to site.
4.2.6 All plant materials will be dug, packed, transported and handled with care to
ensure protection from injury. All plant materials to be stored on site more than 24 hours
will be heeled into topsoil or sawdust. Precautionary measures shall be taken to ensure
plant materials do not dry out before planting. Wetland plants will be shaded and
saturated until time of installation. Immediately after installation the mitigation planting
area will be saturated to avoid capillary stress.
4.2.7 The contractor will verify all plant materials, the quantities shown on the planting
plan, and the plant schedule. The quantity of plant materials shown on the plan takes
precedent over the quantity on the plant list.
4.3 Plant Installation
4.3.1 All plant materials must be inspected prior to installation to verify conformance of
the materials with the plant schedule including size, quality and quantity. Any plant or
habitat materials deemed unsatisfactory will be rejected.
4.3.2 All plant materials delivered and accepted should be planted immediately as
depicted on the mitigation plan. Plant materials not planted within 24 hours will be
heeled-in. Plant materials stored under temporary conditions will be the sole
responsibility of the contractor. Plants will be protected at all times to prevent the root
ball from drying out before, during, or after planting.
4.3.3 All planting pits will be circular with vertical sides, and will be sized per detail on
the mitigation plan and filled with pit soils approved by the Owner's biologist. Planting
pits shall not be deeper than the root ball. If native soils are determined to be
unacceptable by the Owner's biologist, pit soils will be amended with Cedar Grove
mulch or equivalent.
4.3.4 No fertilizers will be used within the wetland. In buffer areas only, install
"Agriform", or equal plant fertilizer to all planting pits as specified by manufacturer.
..
Fieldbrook/#11-121
Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
March 13, 2014
Page 17
Fertilizers are allowed only below grade in the planting pits in the buffer areas. No
sewage sludge fertilizer ("SteerCo" or "Growco") is allowed in the mitigation area.
4.3.5 All containerized plant materials will be removed from their containers carefully
to prevent damage to the plant and its roots. Plants removed from their containers will be
planted immediately.
4.3.6 All plant materials will be placed as shown on the approved mitigation plan. If
the final installation varies from the approved mitigation plan, the contractor will provide
a reproducible mylar as-built of the installed conditions. All plant material will be
flagged by the contractor.
4.4 Planting Schedule and Warranty
4.4. I A fall-winter installation schedule (October I st -March I 5th ) is preferred for
lower mortality rates of new plantings. If plant installation occurs during the spring or
summer (March I 5th -Oct. I st) a temporary irrigation system will be required, unless
the area can be sufficiently hand-watered.
4.4.2 All disturbed areas will be protected with an arborists mulch to a minimum depth
of six inches.
4.4.3 The installer will warrant all plant materials to remain healthy and alive for a
period of one year after final acceptance. The installer will replace all dead or unhealthy
plant materials per the approved plans and specifications.
4.5 Site Conditions
4.5.1 The installer will coordinate with the Owner and the Owner's biologist for
construction scheduling.
4.5.2 Landscape installation will begin after the City acceptance of grading and
construction. The Owner will notify the Owner's biologist of acceptance of final
grading.
4.5.3 Silt fences will be installed as shown on the approved mitigation grading plans.
The installer is responsible for repair and replacement of silt fences disturbed during
plant installation. No equipment or soils will be stored inside the silt fences.
4.5.4 After clearing and grading is complete in the mitigation area, exposed soils will
be seeded or mulched. Orange construction fence will be placed around the mitigation
area to prohibit equipment and personnel in the mitigation area.

4.5.5 Final grading will be based upon soil conditions found during excavation of the
mitigation area.
4.5.6 All plant material will be planted with suitable soils per planting details. Soils
from planting holes will be spread and smoothed across the mitigation area.
5.0 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
This maintenance program outlines the program, procedures and goals for mitigation of
the stream and buffer impacts at the mitigation site. This maintenance program will be
the responsibility of the project owner through the duration of its ownership of the
mitigation area, or throughout the duration of the monitoring period, whichever is longer.
The maintenance contractor will complete the work as outlined below.
5.1 Maintenance Work Scope
5.1.1 To accomplish the mitigation goals, normal landscaping methods must be
modified to include:
a.No mowing or trimming of ground cover or vegetation in the mitigation
area.
b. No placement of fertilizers in the mitigation area.
c. No placement of bark mulch or equivalent in the mitigation area,
except as noted in the planting details.
d. No placement of grass clippings, landscape debris, fill or ornamental
plant materials in the mitigation area.
5.1.2 Work to be included in each site visit:
a. Remove all litter including paper, plastic, bottles, construction
debris, yard debris, etc.
b. Remove all non-native and invasive species identified in Table 3-1 of
Sheet W-3 of the Final Mitigation Plan within the mitigation area. All debris is to be
removed from site and disposed in an approved landfill.
c. Repair silt and/or permanent fencing and signage as needed.
5.1.3 Work to be completed on an annual basis includes:
a. Areas containing non-native/invasive species identified in Table
3-1 of Sheet W-3 of the Final Mitigation Plan should be controlled by hand cutting and
removing the root crowns for species such as Himalayan blackberry. Following hand
removal, treating re-sprouting invasive/non-native species with a glyphosphate herbicide
such as Roundup or Rodeo by a licensed applicator can be utilized.
b. Replace dead or failed plant materials. Replacement plantings are to be
of same species, size and location as original plantings. Plantings are to be installed
during the dormant period.
... . ,,.,
5.2 Maintenance Schedule
Fieldbrook/# 11-121
Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
March 13, 2014
Page 19
The Owner will conduct all items listed in the Maintenance Work Scope on an annual
basis. Additional work may be required per the Monitoring Report and as approved by
the Corps. Additional work may include removal of the grasses around each shrub and
tree, installation of wood chips at each shrub and tree base and erosion control protection.
5.3 Watering Requirements
5.3.1 Watering with a temporary irrigation system will be required during the first
spring and summer after the installation. The temporary irrigation system may be
removed after the first year providing the plantings are established and acclimated to on-
site conditions.
5.4 Close-out of Ten-Year Monitoring Program
Upon completion of the monitoring program and acceptance of the wetland mitigation by
the Corps, the maintenance of the project will be reduced to include removal oflitter and
debris, repair of perimeter fencing and signage, removal of noxious weeds and
undesirable vegetation, and repair of vandalized areas.
6.0 WETLAND AND BUFFER 10 YEAR MONITORING PROGRAM
6.1 Sampling Methodology
The created wetlands and their associated enhanced and restored buffers as well as areas
of temporary disturbance will be monitored once per year over a ten-year period, starting
with the first year after the plants have been installed, and as required by the Corps.
Monitoring will be conducted using the techniques and procedures described below to
quantify the survival and relative health and growth of plant material. A monitoring
report submitted following each monitoring visit will describe and quantify the status of
the mitigation at that time. Vegetation monitoring will be conducted in August or
September during monitoring years. Year l monitoring will occur at least one calendar
year after installation sign-off.
6.1. l Hydrology
Wetland hydrology will be monitored using seven (7) piezometers per USACOE
specifications. These will be located within the restoration area to be placed at the time
of the installation sign-off by the biologist. Surface water level or ground water
saturation depths will be measured at these stations to determine if wetland hydrology has
been successfully attained. As is noted in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation

Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987) and the Western Mountains, Valleys and
Coast region Supplement (Version 2.0) dated June 24, 2010, wetland hydrology is
defined as inundation or soil saturation (usually within 12" of the surface) during the
growing season. The growing season for this area is generally defined as the period
between the middle of March and the middle of November. However, plant growth often
occurs earlier in the year and sound professional judgment will be needed to determine
when the growing season is taking place at the site. Hydrology will be monitored twice a
month from March I st through May 30th of each year.
Wetland hydrology will be considered successfully created if wetland hydrology is
observed inundating or saturating the soil within 12 inches of the surface during the
growing season
6.1.2 Vegetation
The vegetation monitoring consists of inspection of the planted material in late summer
or early fall (August-September) to determine the health and vigor of the installation, as
well as coverage estimates. All the planted material in the wetland and buffer will be
inspected during each monitoring visit to determine the level of survival of the
installation.
All plants will be inspected and recorded as to whether they are alive or dead based upon
the "as-built" in Years I & 2. In Years 3-5, coverage estimates will be used to determine
success of the vegetation component.
A total of27 permanent 3.0m rectangular monitoring plots will be located within the
mitigation area as depicted on Sheet W-3 to monitor shrub and tree species coverages.
Within each of these 3.0m plots, the emergent plant community coverage of vegetation
will be measured with 0.25m rectangular plots. Estimates of coverage percentages will
be made within these plots.
Photographs of the mitigation area will be taken from 6 photo points to be located during
the installation sign off as well as at each permanent monitoring plot. Photographs will
be taken at each of the monitoring and included with the monitoring report for each year
from these points.
During years I & 2 of the monitoring, replacement plants as well as dead plants will be
flagged with distinctive flagging to distinguish what plants these are.

RE: Third Site Visit, Fieldbrook Commons
A third visit was conducted on June 18, 2014 to inspect the plantings
installed in the created wetland, wetland buffer areas, Wetland C and the
utility corridor. I was met on site by Ed Sewall of Sewall Wetland
Consulting, Inc.
Findings
All of the created wetland, most of its buffer, and Wetland C have been
planted according to the revised mitigation plan by Ed Sewall, dated June
9, 2014. Areas that have not been planted are as follows:
The eastern buffer area adjacent to the area of vault construction.
A section of the buffer of the existing northern wetland.
The center of the utility corridor (Photo 1).
The irrigation system and monitoring wells have been installed as required
in the mitigation plan (Photo 2). Wood chips have been placed on the trail
and the split rail fence installed (Photo 3).
A number of shrubs that were to be planted in the buffer were planted in the
wetland, and some shrubs to be planted in the wetland were planted in the
buffer. Twinberry, a shrub that needs wetland conditions, was planted in
the buffer and snowberry and hazel nut, two upland species, were planted in
the wetland (Photo 4).
The contractor installed the species of plants, numbers and sizes as required
in the mitigation plan. Two exceptions were made: big leaf maples were
switched out for similarly sized aspen, and most of the Sitka spruce were
switched out for similarly sized Western red cedar. This was due to the lack
of availability of big leaf maple at this time of year in the requested size
and the lack of quality of the Sitka spruce stock.
Conclusions
According to Justin Lagers of American Classic Homes, the buffer area
adjacent to the vault construction area has not been planted due to the need
to move heavy machinery in the area to complete the vault installation and
the connection of the drainage pipe. The buffer area associated with the
existing northern wetland has not been replanted because it must be filled
and regraded to match the adjacent developed elevations. Mr. Lagers has
said that these areas will be planted as soon as the vault is completed and
the cleared buffer area has been graded. He estimates replanting will occur
within a month.
The utility corridor needs additional plantings through the middle of the
corridor. It appears that this area was not planted because the contractor
who installed the plantings may have thought access was required to the
clean-out pipe at the end of the corridor.
The incorrectly located shrubs will need to be planted in the correct
locations. Ed Sewall has said he will flag the ones to be moved and contact
the contractor to do so.
The replacement of big leaf maple with aspen and Sitka spruce with
Western red cedar is acceptable. However, cedar are sensitive to
transplanting especially at the larger size of 4-5 feet. Irrigation throughout
the summer will help.
Overall, the installed plantings look good. If the incorrectly located shrubs
are relocated, additional plants are planted in the utility corridor, the buffer
area adjacent to the vault is planted after the vault is completed, and the
northern portion of buffer is replanted after it is graded, the installation will
closely match what is required in the mitigation plan .

RE: Second Site Visit, Fieldbrook Commons
A second site visit was conducted on June 9, 2014 to inspect final grading.
I was met on site by Ed Sewall of Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
Findings
The wetland was graded as shown in the compensatory mitigation plan by
Ed Sewall. Surveyed elevation markers matched the planned elevations of
the created wetland plan closely for the most part (See Figures 1-2). A small
berm was incorrectly created around Wetland C, which had previously been
cleared contrary to plan (See Figure 3).
Other requirements of the mitigation plan that have been completed
include placing large woody debris in the created wetland and the southern
portion of the trail with the looped end has been cleared and graded
correctly to approximately 4 feet in width.
Due to the accidental clearing of Wetland C, the clearing of the northern
portion of buffer between the wetland and silt fence, and the planned
clearing of the western portion of the buffer between the wetland and the
underground vault, a revised mitigation plan is needed to reflect additional
replanting requirements.
Silt fencing has been placed along the northern clearing limits of the site
only, but not the eastern portion.
Conclusions
The mitigation plan was revised on June 9, 2014, by Ed Sewall to reflect
required repainting in all the additionally cleared areas (see enclosed). In
addition Ed Sewall confirmed on the afternoon of June 9, 2014 that the
berm around Wetland Chad been corrected (See Figure 4).
The third and final site visit is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18 when all
plantings except those adjacent to the vault will have been completed.

RE: Initial Site Visit, Fieldbrook Commons
City of Renton
Planning Division
JUN O 1 2014
An initial site visit was conducted on May 29, 2014 to inspect marked clearing
limits. I was met on site by Ed Sewall of Sewall Wetland Consulting, Inc.
Findings
Clearing had already occurred and was well under way at the time of the
initial site visit. Wetland C, adjacent buffer north of Wetland C, and buffer to
the west of the proposed created wetland was cleared. Specific trees and tree
groupings have been protected by fencing in the buffer area. See enclosed site
map indicating already cleared areas.
Silt fencing has been partially placed along the northern clearing limits of the
site. See enclosed site map indicating placed silt fencing.
Wetland A is clearly marked with flagging. The edge of the proposed created
wetland is flagged. The southern edge of the trail, north of Wetland C is
flagged.
Conclusions
The areas that were accidentally cleared will need to be replanted and
temporary erosion control applied. Currently there is no replanting plan for
these areas. The silt fencing should be completed before grading occurs.

Per RMC 1-3-2P we are enclosing a check in the amount of $1200.00 (12 x $100.00 per tree).
We will also replace 18" caliper inches per tree removed (12) for a total of 216 replacement
caliper inches with the 2" minimum caliper noted. I have Ed Sewell making up a plan for the
replacement planting locations in the wetlands/ buffers and I will have that submitted shortly.
Also noted in your email was the need to post a performance security for the balance of the
buffer plantings. Please find enclosed the estimates to finish the plantings and fencing. The
total of which was $16,455.12 x (150%) = $24,682.68. A check for that cash bond is

Re: Response/ Clarification -June 18th letter from Nikolina Yonkow.
Mrs. Dolbee,
I was copied on the letter from Nikolina Yonkow to yourself regarding her third site visit to the
Fieldbrook Commons wetland mitigation area on June 18th, 2014. I wanted to provide an
update as to the punch list items and provide a clarification to a statement she included in her
conclusion section.
Ed Sewell flagged approximately 32 twinberry, dogwood and willow plants that need to be
moved from the buffer area to the wetland creation area. He also flagged 28 hazelnut and
snowberry plants that need to be moved from the wetland creation area out to the buffer area.
That work is scheduled for Friday the 20th along with the addition of 14 shrubs consisting of a
mix of indian plum, snowberry and hazelnut shrubs. These shrubs are in addition to the plants
called out on the planting schedule and are being placed over the top of the storm outfall pipe
run from CB 31 to CB 32. The landscaper thought perhaps the trial might be extended down this
area in the future for maintenance of the outfall clean out. Please note we have also installed
silt fence and temporary chain link fencing to protect the new creation area.
Lastly, the balance of the plant material which is to be installed in the remaining buffer areas is
already on site and is being stored and watered until such time as it can be installed. The
remaining buffer areas cannot be planted at this time due the future installation of the
dispersal trenches to the south and north of the vault which convey clean runoff from buildings
Land K & H. These dispersal trenches can only be installed after the vault is complete, the
backfill to the north and south of the vault which supports the roadway is complete and the
conveyance system into and out of the vault is also completed as the dispersal trenches

conveyance lines cross over the top of the storm, water and other utilities. In short these
trenches and the buffer plantings cannot be completed until the majority of the eastern half of
the site's infrastructure is complete. This work will likely take longer than the month I quoted
Mrs. Yonkow in our meeting.
Due the large fills the need to bring the balance of the site to its finished grades, the bulk of
which fill material is generated from the Wetland D area and its buffer, and the need to
continue with infrastructure installation, we respectfully ask for the City's approval to
commence the final clearing of balance of the wetland areas. 1. believe after Friday's punch list
items are complete we will be in full compliance with the condition to finish the wetland
creation area before commencing any additional fills.
We would expect to have Mrs. Yonkow back to perform a final site inspection once the balance
of the temporary buffer impact plantings are complete.

Approval of wetland filling/clearing
Justin,
Thank you for the documents you submitted to the City on June 25, 2014. These included the following:
1. An estimate for the remaining wetland buffer plantings and fencing and a surety device for 150% the cost of the
installation of these required items for $24,682.68.
2. An updated wetland mitigation planting plat (including a tree replacement plan).
3. A tree retention plan identifying the "over cleared" trees and the replacement calculations for 18 caliper inches
and the associated $1,200.00 fee.
I have reviewed the submitted items and have determined these are approvable and the three wetlands identified to be
filled, Wetlands D, E and F may be cleared at this time.
However, prior to finalizing the construction for the subject project the following items remain to be completed
(additional items may be required as a part of the FPUD the list below is limited to the over clearing and wetland
monitoring for the site):
1. A final inspection shall be completed by Niki Vonkow verifying the buffer plantings have been corrected as
stated in the Third Site Visit letter dated June 18, 2014 along with the replacement tree plantings and all other
plantings shown in the updated mitigation plan. A scope change may be needed to Niki's Vonkow's contract
which would add additional cost to the original estimate.
2. An estimate identifying the cost of the required maintenance and monitoring for the site and the associated
surety device for maintenance and monitoring for the wetland impacts based on the approved final wetland
mitigation plan.
3. Potently additional wetland mitigation based on coordination with the CORPS.
Thank you for quickly complying with the request for additional information and I look forward to the final approved
wetland planting letter from Niki Vonkow.

Justin,
At this time I am working out the necessary mitigation requirements for the over clearing and grading of wetland C. I
have not yet herd back from Suzanne at the CORPS. It is my goal for the City and the CORPS to be on the same page
when it come to the required mitigating for the additional impacts to the critical areas on the subject site. With that said,
in order to move forward at this time I will at minimum need the following items:
1) A surety device for the portion of the buffer that is not yet planted to ensure the work is accomplished following the
filling of the three wetlands. This should be 150% the cost of the plantings and the installation (labor). This can be
provided in the following formats:
a. Cash;
b. Letter of credit;
c. Set aside letter; provided, that the funds cannot be withdrawn, spent, or committed to any third party; or
d. Savings account assigned to the City and blocked as to withdrawal by the secured party without the City's approval.
2) A final updated mitigation plan from Ed. (which I believe he is working on sending over).
3) An updated tree retention calculation worksheet identifying replacement trees for the additional cleared trees beyond
the original approval. The tree retention worksheet shall reflect the "over cleared area" and shall included a replacement
ratio of 18 caliper inches per tree instead of the typical 12 in the worksheet (See RMC 4-4-130J Violations and
Penalties). All replacement trees shall be a minimum of 2" in caliper. Please identify if the wetland mitigation plan is
intended to be used for the tree replacement plan. If not, please provide a separate tree replacement planting plan. In
addition, pursuant to RMC 1-3-2P the minimum penalty for removal of trees is $100 per tree. Please identify the number
of trees removed over the approved tree retention plan and pay the associated fee (I will be reviewing the plan for a final
number of trees but have not completed this as of the date of this e-mail).
Once I have received and approved the above items 1 -3: the wetlands on site may be cleared and filled.
Prior to finalizing the construction permit we will need a final letter from Niki approving the fully completed wetland
creation and buffer plantings. In addition to a maintenance and monitoring surety device for the 10 year maintenance
and monitoring requirement. And potently additional wetland mitigation based on coordination with the CORPS.
Please let me know if you have questions about the above requirements.

RE: Replacement tree's
John,
Thank you for increasing the spacing. Based on my original e-mail, the requirement was for 25 caliper inches of
replacement. The proposed 5 trees would equal 10 caliper inches of replanted trees, resulting in a fee for 15 caliper
inches. Therefore the.fee would be $3,225 ($215 x 15 caliper inches= $3,225). I will inspect the replanting with Phase Ill

Hi Vanessa. I changed it to 5 tree's because of the spacing. It's possible to get in a 6th tree but it would be down
where the sidewalks meet and I don't think a large tree that close would look very nice.

RE: Woodpecker holes @ save trees
Follow up
Completed
The trees in question are trees that appear to have existed on the site prior to development. They appear to have
suffered construction damage, possibly due to a lack of tree protection.
The trees are declining to the point where the Douglas fir is 100% dead and the western redcedar is in severe decline.
When trees are under stress from construction damage, they become more susceptible to insect and disease than
healthy trees. The bird pecking is a symptom of a weakened condition in the trees due to the presence of insects
making a tasty lunch for the birds that drill into the tree to extract the bugs. Both trees should now be removed.
Because of an over-abundance of trees in this planting, I recommend the trees be replaced in either a different site
location. If other tree planting on the is as adequate as observed, a fee-in-lieu payment can offset the replacement
requirements.
I also observed over-planting of street trees at this site and planting street trees too close to other improvements such
as street lights. The street trees planted are those that develop into large trees and should have been spaced a
minimum distance of 50 feet on-center (per City Code), 30 feet from street lights and perhaps other spacing issues at
this site that I did not specifically look for such as blocking stop signs or proximity to fire hydrants, etc.

RE: Dead save tree's @ Avana
RE: Woodpecker holes @ save trees
-------------------------------,
The City Forester, Terry Flatley, and I had an opportunity to go out and look at the two retained trees. Based on Terry's
assessment, these trees are dyeing due to construction damage and not due to natural causes because of the
woodpeckers. You can see in Terry's analysis in the attached e-mail that when trees are under stress from construction
damage they become more susceptible to insect and disease. The bird pecking is a symptom of a weakened condition of
the trees due to the presence of insets, which is a result of construction. The area of the park had three trees identified
to be saved: 1) tree #1815, 14.10 inches, 2) tree #1787, 10.8 inches, and 3) tree#? (the plan sheet is difficult to read
here), 17.89 inches. Based on the field conclusions, that the trees death is due to construction impacts as these trees
were to be protected tree as approved part of the PUD, the removal will need to be assessed as a violation. It is my
assumption the same would have applied to the first tree removed #1815 as well, however this was not confirmed by
Terry prior to removal.
Replacement of trees removed under the violation standards require replacement at a one-to-one ratio for caliper
inches. Based on the two remaining trees there is a total of 25 caliper inches of replacement required. You will also
note in the attached e-mail Terry believe the area is already over planted with trees and does not recommend
replacement in the same location. Considering a number of the evergreen trees that were planted have died; it seems
reasonable to replant the area with more spacing and the same number of tree already planted. Due to the lack of
space for new trees on the project site, the replacement caliper inches would need to be made up using the City's fee-in-
lieu option. We charge $215.00 per caliper inch for a total of $5,375.00 ($215 x 25 caliper inches= $5,375) fee-in-lieu.
Please feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss the above comments.

Subject: Dead save tree's @ Avana
Hi Vanessa. I met with the landscaper and dug holes to verify that the drip lines are providing adequate
irrigation which they are. The save tree's are dying because they have hundreds of tiny holes from woodpeckers.
The last save tree will die too because it also has hundreds of holes. The little tree's that died have no real
explanation except maybe shock or drowning in the winter. I was planted too deep. I'll text some pictures of
the woodpecker holes to your email.

So I would like to get this over with and cut down both tree's and replace them. Once the woodpeckers start this
process it's just a matter of time. So we would like to plant 6 fur tree's that are 10-12'. I'll have the landscapers
cut down the tree's, clean up the mess and re-plant. What do you think?

The three areas listed above are now well planted with appropriate upland plants (See
photo nos. 3). Although the utility corridor has been replanted with appropriate
shrubs, the eastern portion of the utility corridor, east of the pipe access structure has
standing and flowing water (See photo no. 4). It is unknown what the origin of the
water is. but it is possible it could be an overflow or leak from the pipe. If it remains
inundated through the spring and summer it may be too wet for the plants installed in
the eastern portion of the utility corridor.
Ed Sewall informed me that an over abundance of water in the wetland was a
problem during heavy rain events through the winter. As a result some plants were
switched out for more appropriate species. During the site visit most of the
plantings looked like they were doing fairly well, particularly the sedges and the ash.
Overall the trees and shrubs look good, however, it will become more clear in the
spring when they leaf out as to how they are doing. The exception were 4-5 of the
larger cedars that looked stressed.
Conclusions
Overall the plantings in the wetland and the buffer and utility corridor look good.
However, the following should be noted:
• The stressed cedars in the wetland should be monitored through out the summer as they
may still recover. Cedar are sensitive to transplanting especially at the larger size
of 4-5 feet and their stress may be due to this solely.
• The success of deciduous shrubs and trees in the wetland can be better monitored
during the growing season as their ability to survive a wetter environment will be
more obvious when they leaf out.
• The eastern portion of the utility corridor should be checked for a pipe leak or other
reason why there is standing and flowing water present. Likely the inundation is
a temporary condition.and if corrected the shrubs that were planted will survive.

RE: Fieldbrook Commons/ Avana Trails Parking Revision -LUA-12-001/ U13003818
Ms. Dolbee,
Please find enclosed two copies of the proposed parking and open space revision for our
Fieldbrook Commons/ Avana Trails project. As discussed, the Fire Marshall asked us to stipe out
a previously approved parking stall in Phase 2 of our project during his walk-though inspection
of the Phase 3 improvements due to the proximity of a fire hydrant. We have identified an area
which could be converted from lawn to a parking space with relative ease with no.net loss in
landscape area. To minimize the disturbance to the established landscaped area we would also
need to convert some adjacent stalls to compact width and restripe them however they would
still have normal depth and leave us far under the normal/ compact stall ratio for the project.
For the stall which was removed by the hydrant we would propose removing the existing curb
and re-pouring a new curb to form a continuous planter island as shown in our exhibit and then
plant lawn and approximately 10 other low growing shrubs, in keeping with the plant palate in
that part of the project, since I don't believe we can place a street tree in that area due to a
possible obstruction to the hydrant.
Thank you for your consideration of our request and I look forward to your feedback.
