MAPLEWOOD CREEK FLOODING AND HABITAT
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
1 1.0 Introduction
The Maplewood Creek Flooding and Habitat Improvement Projects includes three
separate projects: 1) diversion of Maplewood Creek flows into a new, low-flow fish passage
channel that will be constructed through the golf course; 2) reconstruction and improvement of
the existing sedimentation basin; 3) high-flow capacity improvements in the existing Maplewood
Creek channel as it traverses Maplewood Golf Course. Project features are shown on Figure 1.
Engineering design and more detailed information about each of these components is provided in
separate reports (Maplewood Creek Sedimentation Basin Reconstruction and Improvement
Project Phase 1 Design Report, November 1994; and Maplewood Creek Fish Passage Channel
Riparian and Instream Habitat Report, July, 1995).
This wetland delineation report addresses the effects of the project on approximately 0.42
acres of open water, perennial stream, and palustrine emergent wetlands associated with two
man-made sedimentation ponds and a channelized reach of Maplewood Creek. (Photos of these
areas are included at the end of this report.) The proposed low-flow channel would not affect
wetlands, but would convert approximately 1 acre of uplands that are now maintained as
fairways, tees, greens and cart paths to 0.34 acres of perennial stream and 0.68 acres of palustrine
shrub wetland. Together with the expanded sediment pond and riparian plantings adjacent to the
ponds, a total of 1.45 acres of wetland would be created or enhanced.
The sediment basins and their associated wetlands do not meet the City of Renton
definition for regulated wetlands because they are maintained as stormwater management
I facilities. Wetlandq along the existing Maplewood Creek channel meet the City's definition of
Category 3 wetlands because they have been disturbed by channelization, grading, excavation,
and mowing. According to the City's Wetland Management Ordinance, buffer areas for a
Category 3 wetland within the urban area designation would usually include 25 feet on either
side of a wetland. At this site the proposed construction and maintenance activities are similar to
current existing activities, and no impacts are expected.

Wetland Delineation Report
i Under the City,s Ordinance a ratio of 1.5: 1 is typically required for Category 3 wetlands.
The proposed low flow channel is designed to provide on-site mitigation at a ratio of 3:1 for all
wetland impacts, including those associated with the sedimentation basins. Although some of
the mitigation will be out-of-kind (i.e. palustrine scrub shrub instead of palustrine emergent
vegetation), wetland functions and values are expected to be much higher than the existing
wetlands that will be affected. All wetlands in the Project area will fall under Corps of Engineer
jurisdiction, and it is anticipated that the proposed mitigation will be adequate to meet Corps
requirements.
A summary of existing conditions and proposed actions is provided in Table 1. Tables 2,
3 and 4 summarize existing and future wetland functions and values. Mitigation plans at the
conceptual level are included in the reports mentioned above.
1 2.0 Methods
' The following maps and documents were reviewed prior to conducting site visits in April
of 1994 and in March, April and November of 1995:
1:12,000 aerial photograph (1989)
• Soil Conservation Service maps (1973)
• National Wetland Inventory (NWI) map, Renton quad (1973)
• Critical Areas Inventory (City of Renton, June 1991)
• King County Sensitive Areas Map Folio (1990)
• Maplewood Creek Basin Plan (1989)
• Cedar River Current and Future Conditions Report (1993)
Neither the sedimentation ponds nor the creek channel are mapped as wetland on the
NWI maps or on Renton's Critical Areas Inventory. Based on the initial site visit in April, 1994.
tthe occurrence of wetlands was observed to follow topographic contours, with no wetlands
appearing outside the ordinary high water mark of the sediment ponds or Maplewood Creek.
1 Office delineation was selected as an appropriate methodology, but site visits conducted in
March, April and November of 1995 were used to obtain soils, hydrology and vegetation data to
support office delineation of wetland boundaries.
Soils, hydrology and vegetation data for each soil pit were recorded on routine site field
data sheets taken from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Manual for Delineation of
Jurisdictional Wetlands. These data sheets are appended to this report (Appendix 1).

Wetland Delineation Report
1 The King County Soil Conservation Service was contacted to determine whether mapped
soils are listed as hydric. In the field, soil pits were dug at certain locations to determine the
presence or absence of hydric soil indicators, such as gleying, mottling, low chroma, streaking,
rhizospheres or organic pans. Colors were determined using Munsell Soil Color Charts (1990).
' Hydrologic data was obtained through continuous HSPF simulations (King County Department
of Public Works, Surface Water Management Division, 1993) and field observations.
' All plants encountered in the field are listed in Table 5. Plants that could not be
identified in the field were keyed in the office according to Hitchcock and Cronquist (1973).
Their status as wetland indicators was determined according to Reed (1988) and Reed (1993) as
NL (not listed); FACU, FACU-, or FACU+ (facultative upland); FAC, FAC-, or FAC+
(facultative); FACW, FACW-, or FACW+ (facultative wetland); or OBL (obligate).
Wetland functions were evaluated for the upper sediment pond, lower sediment pond and
high-flow channel separately, according to a rating system developed by King County (Surface
Water Management Division, Ruth Schaefer, 1993). Existing and future values (summarized in
Tables 3, 4 and 5) were estimated in the ability of these wetlands to improve water quality,
moderate flood flows and store flood water, recharge groundwater, provide wildlife habitat
(including primary productivity, species diversity, structural diversity for forage and cover),
reduce erosion, and support aquatic resources (including fish and aquatic macro invertebrates).
The wetlands' function in socioeconomics and aesthetics was also evaluated. Cultural and
education functions were not evaluated, since they are essentially absent at this site.
3.0 Results
I3.1 Sedimentation Ponds
' Two existing sedimentation ponds will be affected by this project. The upper pond
consists of a small concrete dam that was built in the 1930's to provide irrigation for an orchard
1 that was later converted to the present-day golf course. The lower pond was built for sediment
control. However, the two ponds together have proven inadequate for this purpose, are filled
with sediments, and have been damaged by floods. Both ponds are maintained by the City of
Renton Department of Parks and Recreation through excavation of accumulated sediment,
usually on an annual basis.

Wetland Delineation Report
3.1.1 Soils
In April, 1994, the upper pond was approximately 0.07 acres in size, with water depths of
1 to 2 feet. Since that time, the pond has filled with silts, sands and gravels, covering an area
approximately 0.05 acres in size, with 0.02 acres of stream running through it.
The lower sediment pond is similar in character to the upper basin. Much of the area that
' was defined as open water in 1994 has been replaced with a vegetated sand/gravel bar that is now
approximately 0.12 acres in size. The area of open water is approximately 0.06 acres in size.
Soils at both the upper and lower sediment ponds are mapped as Alderwood gravelly
sandy loam-Kitsap silt loam (SCS 1973). This soil type is listed by the County as having hydric
soil inclusions. Soil pit#1 (see Figure 1) contained gravelly, silty sand, without hydric soil
indicators. This material has been recently deposited, and likely originated on adjacent unstable
banks or from upstream erosion. No organic component was present. Soil pit#2 contained dark
brown sandy loam (10 YR 3/3). No hydric soil indicators were observed.
1 Soil pit#3 contained gravelly sand, without hydric soil indicators, and is also of recent
origin. Soil pit#4 contained gravelly sand with large cobbles and appeared to be native material,
trather than imported fill. No hydric soil indicators were observed.
t3.1.2 Hydrology
Water depths observed on April 26, 1994, March 4, 1995, April 11, 1995, and November
4, 1995 were variable in the stream and ponds. Although groundwater seeps were noted along
both sideslopes of the ravine, the primary source of hydrology is surface flow from Maplewood
' Creek. Based on continuous HSPF simulation of over 42 years (October 1948-June 1991),
annual average flow is 3.2 cfs, with highest flows occurring from December through March, and
lowest flows occurring between July and October. Modeled daily flows indicate that flows
exceed 20 cfs from 5 to 7 days per year, primarily during the winter. The peak flow for the 2-
year, 24-hour storm was 118 cfs.
Soil on the bars in both the upper and lower sediment ponds were saturated at the surface.
Soil in the pits on the east bank of the upper pond and the southwest dike of the lower basin were
not saturated at 24 inches.

Wetland Delineation Report
' 3.1.3 Vegetation
The west bank of the upper pond is rip-rapped and appears stable. It is sparsely vegetated
with grasses, such as annual bluegrass (Poa annua, FAC, and Agrostis tenuis, FAC ) and forbs,
' predominantly Robert's geranium (Geranium robertianum, not listed).
The east bank of the pond is steep and unstable; slumps and slides are evident. Riparian
' vegetation on the east bank consists of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii, FACU), alder (Alnus
rubra, FAC), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla, FACU-) and western redcedar (Thuja
plicata, FAC). Swordfern (Polytichum munitum, FACU) predominates in the understory, and
very little herbaceous vegetation is present. Red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa, FACU),
salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, FAC+) and maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum, FAC) are
present in a small seep near the head of the pond.
Within the pond, the dominant species were few-seeded bittercress (Cardamine
oligosperma, FAC), fountain miner's lettuce (Montia fontana, OBL) and creeping bentgrass
(Agrostis alba, FAC).
Vegetation on the east bank of the lower sediment pond is similar to that described for the
upper sediment pond, and does not meet wetland vegetation criteria. A fringe of palustrine
emergent vegetation is present on the dike south and west of the pond, and adjacent to the dam
abutment on the east side of the pond. Species include common horsetail (Equisetum arvense,
FAC), giant horsetail (Equisetum telmateia, FACW) and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens,
FACW). Wetland vegetation criteria are met. Higher on the bank, the dominant species are
FACU, including hairy cat's ear (Hypochaeris radicata), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), white
clover (Trifolium repens), creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) and FAC to FAC-, including annual
bluegrass, colonial bentgrass (Agrostis tenuis), and velvet grass (Holcus lanatus).
' 3.1.4 Functions and Values
Current values are low in all areas evaluated. Values are low due primarily to small size
and the effects of flooding, sediment deposition, erosion, and excavation. It is anticipated that
the proposed project will increase wetland values in the areas of water quality improvement,
erosion protection, aquatic resources (primarily fisheries), socioeconomics and aesthetics. No
significant adverse impacts are anticipated, and no net loss of wetlands would occur. An area
1 that currently supports annual herbaceous wetland vegetation would be removed, but palustrine
scrub-shrub habitat, and a more stable riparian environment, would be created.

Creek
3.2 MaplewoodHigh-Flow Channel
The project reach of Maplewood Creek has been channelized to run in a straight course
from the lower sediment pond through the Maplewood Golf Course to State Route 169, where it
enters a 72-inch RCP culvert buried adjacent to the railroad bed, before emptying into the Cedar
River. Until the spring of 1995, vegetation along the channel was mowed regularly so that it
would not interfere with golf course play. Mowing has been temporarily discontinued while
grading and landscaping activities for the golf course are underway. One large-diameter (34
inches) cottonwood is present on the west bank. Several Douglas fir saplings were recently
planted along the east bank.
3.2.1 Soils
1 The existing creek channel is narrow and confined as it traverses approximately 300 feet
from the existing dam at the lower sediment pond to the bridge leading to the abandoned
clubhouse. Soils are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam-Kitsap silt loam. In the reach
crossing the golf course, soils are mapped as Puyallup fine sandy loam, also with hydric
inclusions. Length of the open channel as the stream crosses the golf course is approximately
950 feet, with a shallower gradient, i.e., 2 to 4 percent. The wetted width varies, with short
stretches 2 feet wide, increasing to as much as 12 feet where gravel deposition has occurred. The
1 average wetted width is 3 feet, and the bank angle varies from almost vertical to 3:1.
Four soil pits (pits 5, 6, 7 and 8) were dug along the channel (Figure 1). Pit #5, located 1
foot from the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) contained very dark grayish brown sandy loam
(IOYR 3/2), with inclusions of coarse gray sand at 18 inches. Soils were saturated and the pit
filled rapidly. Pit 46, located 4 feet from the OHWM contained dark brown gravelly, sandy
loam, (10YR 3/3). Soil was not saturated at 24 inches.
Pit 47 was located 4 feet above the OHMW approximately 120 feet downstream from the
Pits 45 and 46. It contained dark brown (10 YR 3/3) gravelly, sandy loam with many cobbles.
' Pit 98 was located 3 feet from the OHWM approximately 400 feet downstream from Pit
#7. It contained very dark grayish brown sandy loam, with a low chroma(1 OYR 3/2) and bright
mottles (IOYR 4/6 and 5YR 4/6). Inclusions of coarse gray sand and gray clay were noted at 18
inches. Soil was saturated at 18 inches.

3.2.2 Hydrology
In addition to surface flows from Maplewood Creek(described above), hydrology is
contributed by regular golf course irrigation. The depth to seasonal water table is listed as 4 to 5
' feet for this soil type, but is probably higher in this particular vicinity, representing an additional
source of hydrology.
' 3.2.3 Vegetation
From the dam at the lower sediment pond, the banks of Maplewood Creek are vertical
and overgrown with dense Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor, FACU), with young western
redcedar and alder growing along the east side beyond the blackberry thicket. Some snowberry
(Symphoricarpus albus, FACU) is also present.
As the creek crosses the golf course, vegetation along the channel is mixed, and
predominantly herbaceous. Vegetation in the channel is no longer being mowed, and patches of
1 Himalayan blackberry and scattered locust(Robinia pseudo-acacia, FACU), butterfly bush
(Buddleja davidii, not listed), alder, cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa, FAC), Scouler willow
(Salix scouleriana, FAC) and Pacific willow(Salix lasiandra, FACW) seedlings and saplings
have appeared since the spring of 1994.
Herbaceous species within the channel are predominantly grasses, and include annual
bluegrass, velvet grass, reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea, FACW) and turf grasses
(colonial bentgrass, perennial rye, and fescue varieties). Non-wetland forbs include a mix of
weedy species, such as dandelion, hairy cat's ear, common and lance-leaved plantain (Plantago
major, P. lanceolata), white clover and red clover(Trifolium pratense).
In addition to patches of reed canarygrass, scattered wetland plants include soft rush
' (Juncus effusus, FACW), creeping buttercup, smartweed (Polygonum spp., FACW), brooklime
(Veronica americana, OBL), large-leaved avens (Geum macrophyllum, FACW+), and Watson's
1 willow-herb (Epilobium watsonii, FACW-).
3.2.4 Functions and Values
Current low values in all areas are due primarily to the creation and maintenance of this
channel as a drainage ditch to convey water across the golf course, disturbance due to
maintenance, the presence of blocks to fish passage, and the absence of high-quality riparian
1 habitat. The proposed low flow channel is expected to have moderate to high values in all
Maplewood Creek Flooding and Habitat Improvement Projects Page 7
WPC195PROA716JG\WEfLAND.DOC\ul/21/v6\111:27 AM\SDC
Wetland Delineation Report
' wetland functions except flood flow alteration and groundwater exchange. No significant
adverse impacts are expected, and no net loss of wetlands would occur. Approximately 0.17
acres of weedy herbaceous wetland and 0.09 acres of perennial stream would be replaced by 0.34
acres of perennial stream and 0.68 acres of palustrine scrub-shrub.
4.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
' Wetland soil indicators were found in only I of 8 soil pits, presumably due to natural
events, i.e., sediment deposition, or human activities, such as excavation, diking, damming and
channelizing, which have created an "atypical situation". Therefore, where both hydrology and
wetland vegetation criteria were met, hydric soils were presumed and the area was defined as
wetland. Where hydrology indicators were also missing, and wetland vegetation was FAC only,
the area was defined as upland.
At the upper sediment pond, wetland areas were defined as the area filled in within the
ordinary high water mark, including approximately 0.02 acres of perennial stream and 0.05 acres
of herbaceous emergent wetland.
The objectives of the project are to notch the existing upper concrete dam to allow fish
passage, excavate sediments from behind the dam, and return the upper sediment pond to natural
stream flows. The east bank will be stabilized using rip-rap and/or geotextiles and willow and
dogwood cuttings will be planted to provide palustrine shrub cover. It is expected that native
vegetation also will re-establish along the new shoreline of the stream.
At the lower sediment pond, wetlands were delineated as the filled in area of the pond
' within the ordinary high water mark, and a narrow fringe of weedy herbaceous wetland along the
lower portion of the dike. Approximately 0.06 acres of the pond's substrate and 0.03 acres of
' herbaceous wetland vegetation will be excavated.
The objectives for the lower sediment pond are to remove the existing dike, expand the
1 sediment pond into an existing paved parking area, and install a fish passage facility and high-
flow spillway. All disturbed soils would then be revegetated, using primarily hydrophytic
shrubs. In order to maintain access into the pond for regular excavation of sediments, only a
small portion of the new shoreline will be planted with emergent vegetation.
Wetlands along the creek were delineated as the perennial stream itself and a band of
palustrine emergent wetland following the contours along the creek, with an average width of 3
' horizontal feet on either side of the ordinary high water mark.

Wetland Delineation Report
Water will be diverted from the existing Maplewood Creek high-flow channel to the
proposed low-flow channel. It is anticipated that the high-flow channel will carry surface water
only when flows from the sediment ponds are 20 cfs or greater. However, due to the high water
table in the reach through the golf course, many of the same FAC and FACW plant species will
continue to grow in the dewatered channel, unless it is graded and revegetated with turf grasses,
consistent with adjacent fairways.
' The objectives for the new low-flow channel are to excavate a meandering stream course,
' installing log weirs, boulders and a gravel substrate that will create high-quality fish habitat. The
banks of the channel cross-sections, depending on elevation, will be planted with palustrine
scrub-shrub species, including a mix of native and native hybrid willows, dogwoods, spiraeas,
and Pacific ninebark closest to the water. Vine maple, salal, Oregon grape and honeysuckle will
be planted at higher elevations.
The proposed projects are not expected to have significant adverse effects. The area of
existing wetland that will be affected is small (less than 0.5 acres), and wetland functions are
low. It is anticipated that slope stabilization at the upper sediment pond, expansion of the lower
pond, and creation of a low-flow channel, together with revegetation focusing on native species
' and provision of high-quality riparian habitat, will adequately compensate for the effects of the
projects on wetlands.
