Hello Alex,
Given the proximity of the Saleh Foundation Center (SEPA#202504481) development to the tributary of May Creek, which is known for salmonids utilizing
this area, and our initial review of the plans, the Department is concerned that the impacts on this regulated wetland may adversely impact fish and their
aquatic habitat (WAC 220-660-100).
To ensure no net loss (WAC 220-660-080) of ecological functions and values occurs, WDFW recommends a buffer width of 105 feet for the regulated
wetland. We request to see the wetland buffer enhancement plan, and we recommend utilizing removed hazard trees on site, as Large Woody Material
(LWM) in the wetland system if possible.
Additionally, we request confirmation if an outfall associated with regulated waters (WAC 220-660-260) will be constructed and whether the dissipation
will affect the overall function of the nearby watercourses. A WDFW-issued Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) may be required.
Finally, we encourage people planning hydraulic projects to submit a general concept (pre-application) for review through the Aquatic Protection
Permitting System (APPS). At any stage of the planning process, you may contact your local habitat biologist, Maria McNaughton
(maria.mcnaughton@dfw.wa.gov), to ask questions and get feedback on project design and compliance with the Hydraulic Code.
Thank you for taking the time to consider our comments on this proposal. I’m happy to send you a formal letter if you prefer. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions or if you require resources during this process.
Best,
Beck Sessa (she/her)
Biologist, Habitat Division
