SW 34`h Street Culvert Replacement Project
The City of Renton, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA, is seeking coverage under the
Washington Department of Ecology's NPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges
Associated with Construction Activities.
The proposed 1.45-acre project, known as the SW 34[� Street Culvert Replacement Project is
located at SW 34th Street and Springbrook Creek in the City of Renton. Approximately 1.45
acres will be disturbed for construction of a box culvert to replace 4 undersized CMP culverts.
Construction activities include installation of bypass pipe for stream diversion, dewatering,
excavation of roadway berth for installation of foundation material and box culvert, relocation

Stormwater originating from the excavated area will be discharged from a settling tank prior to
discharge to the north into a stream bypass pipe for approximately 200 feet to Springbrook
Creek. Offsite stormwater runoff originating from the undisturbed roadway will be diverted to
the existing storm system in SW 34th Street.
Any persons desiring to present their views to the Department of Ecology concerning this
application may notify Ecology in writing within 30 days from the last date of publication of
this notice.

SW 34Tx STREET CULVERT REPL.,,,EMENT LUA-06-032, SME, CAR, ECF
REPORT OF MA Y 9, 2006 Page 2 of 6
Project description: The applicant is proposing to replace four 110-ft. long, 72-inch diameter culvert pipes
under SW 34th St. with one 80-ft. long, 30-ft. wide and 10-ft. high concrete box culvert. The culverts provide a
crossing for Springbrook Creek under SW 34`h St.. Replacement of the culverts is part of the East Side Green River
Watershed Plan, would aid in alleviating flooding in the Renton Valley area, and improve conditions for fish.
Springbrook Creek in the vicinity of S 34th St. is a modified straight channel. Vegetation along the stream is primarily
reed canary grass, with several small willows growing just to the north of S 34th St.. The streambed here is made up of
a mixture of gravel and sand with some finer sediment. In places, reed canary grass has invaded the active channel.
There is very little woody debris or other habitat supporting structures in the site area or vicinity. Animals present near
the site include salmon, trout, heron and beaver.
The project would include removal of the existing culverts. Temporary coffer dams would be placed in the stream bed
at both ends of the site and the water would be removed from an approximately 325-ft. long section of the stream.
Two 48-inch diameter temporary diversion pipes would be installed along the west bank of the stream to carry the
water across the site while the culverts are being replaced. Dewatering would be undertaken to keep the area of work
dry. The new culvert would be installed in the same location as the existing pipe culverts. it would be a 30-ft. wide, by
80-ft. long, by 10 ft_ high concrete four-sided box culvert. It would be placed approximately two feet below the grade of
the stream and infilled with cobble and gravel. It would raise the surface of the street above by 2.3 ft.
An existing 8-inch diameter sewer line would be relocated and routed approximately 900 ft. east to Lind Ave. SW. An
existing water supply line would be routed along the downstream face of the culvert in a carrier pipe. This water line
would be housed inside of a protective 22-inch diameter pipe. Existing gas, electric, and communications lines would
be routedunder the culvert.
The street will either be removed in part or completely for the duration of the project. Temporary removal of the full
width of the street would prohibit all traffic to pass, but would expedite the project.
The culvert replacement project would require disturbance of approximately 18,650 sq. ft. of stream, wetland and
buffer area. 5,041 sq. ft. of this area is below the ordinary high water mark.
Springbrook Creek is designated a Class 1 waterway, a Shoreline of the State, and is regulated by the City of Renton
Shoreline Master Program Regulations. As such, the project requires either a Shoreline Substantial Development
Permit or an exemption there from. The applicant has applied for an exemption for normal maintenance and repair per
RMC 4-9-190C3_ Because of the presence of Category 2 wetlands on the site, a Critical Areas Exemption, per RMC
4-3-05005g, is also required.
The site is zoned Light Industrial (IL) and designated Employment Area Valley (EAV) in the Comprehensive Plan.
B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials
make the following Environmental Determination:

D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only those
project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental
regulations.
1. Earth
Impacts: The area of work consists of a flat riverbed, embankments with slopes of up to 30%, and flat areas along
SW 34t St. The soil consists of approximately 4.5 feet of fill underlain by soft organic silt/peat over alluvium
composed of unconsolidated sand, silt, and clay. Very soft estuarine deposits were noted below the alluvium to the
full depth of the exploration borings (61.5 feet). Liquifiable layers of soil ranging in thickness from 6 feet to 24 feet
were found in the site area. These soils are unstable, and have very low strength. They are compressible under the
placement of fill or heavy structures. In a seismic event, 1 inch to 10 inches of settlement of the soils could be
expected. This could lead to damage of the new culvert and stream bed, and disturb the flow of the stream.
The possible impacts due to placement of the culvert onto unstable soils is mitigated by the design of the project. A
cement box culvert, as opposed to pilings, would disperse the weight of the structure over more area and minimize
the potential amount of differential settlement. Crushed rock or a controlled density fill mat would be used for
foundation support thus protecting the structure from damage and sufficiently mitigating any impacts to the streambed
or water flow.
The project would require the trenching and excavation of 5,947 cy of soil and the subsequent placement of 3,268 cy
of fill in order to remove the existing culverts and install the new culvert and replace the roadway. The 3,268 cy of fill
would include on -site excavated material, imported material, and subgrade crushed rock, additional fill to grade, and
277 cy of streambed gravels.
Risk of erosion would arise because of the clearing and excavation of the site to temporarily divert the stream and
install the culvert. Isolating the segment of the creek where the work would take place, is a measure that would
mitigate erosion impacts to the stream. To further minimize the impacts, the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan
proposes clearly demarcating the area of work from the no -work areas on and around the site. The submitted plans
did not clearly indicate the area -of -work, but staff consulted with the applicant and added to the existing plans the
delineation of the area -of -work. A Construction Mitigation Plan was submitted by the applicant that outlines how
impacts would be minimized during the project construction phase. The applicant states that the project would
implement best management practices and also the recommendations in the Wet Weather Earthwork section of the
submitted geotechnical report. An Erosion Control Plan and Spill Prevention, Control, and Containment Plan would
also be implemented for the project. As a condition of granting the Shoreline Exemption for the project, the applicant
is required to submit a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) designed pursuant to the State
Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements, outlined in Volume Ii of the 2001 Stormwater
Management Manual.

REPORT OF MAY 9, 2006 Page 4 of 6
After the culvert is replaced the applicant proposes in the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan to replant the
disturbed areas with native herbaceous, shrub, and tree species in the wetland and stream buffer areas. Disturbed
areas in the roadway vicinity would be hydroseeded. These measures would provide stability of the slopes. A
condition of approval of the Wetlands Critical Areas Exemption requires the applicant to submit a revised planting plan
showing more vegetation. A Monitoring and Maintenance Plan is also required. This will assure that adequate
vegetation is replaced and avoid long term impacts to soils at the site.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended_
Policy Nexus: NIA
2. Air
Impacts: During construction, dust and exhaust from construction equipment would occur. Trucks needed to haul
fill would cause dust and emit exhaust. After construction no impacts to the air would be expected. Short-term
noise from construction equipment would occur during the duration of construction of the culvert replacement
project, and be limited to the hours of 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The equipment and construction of this project would
be required to meet federal, state, and local emissions and noise regulations; therefore no further mitigation is
recommended.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended.
Policy Nexus: NIA
3. Water
impacts: Temporary impacts to Springbrook Creek and the two wetlands on site would be substantial, with an
approximately 325 feet length of the stream being laid dry while the culvert is being replaced. These impacts would
be mitigated though if the applicant follows the Wetlands Mitigation Report submitted to the City and the conditions of
approval of the Shoreline Exemption and Wetlands Critical Areas Exemption. The applicant's consultants estimate
the area under the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) that would be disturbed to be 5,331 sq. ft., with another 290 sq,
ft. of wetland above the OHWM being disturbed by the project. Staff estimates the total area of work to be 18,650 sq.
ft., which is made up of stream, wetland and buffer areas. Springbrook Creek would be diverted through two 48-inch
pipes that would runt along the stream bank, which would allow the stream to flow at full capacity, while isolating that
part of the site where the culvert is being replaced. The diversion would be limited to a time period of up to 14 weeks,
depending on whether SW 34�h St. is completely closed, or part of the street remains open to traffic. Water that would
be pumped from the construction area while the stream is diverted, would be treated before being released into
Springbrook Creek, or be discharged into the sanitary sewer system, if it does not meet State water quality standards.
Permanent impacts to water would be expected to be positive. The replacement culvert would offer more capacity for
water flow. Replacing four cylindrical pipes with one box culvert that rests within the streambed and has airspace
above the water would offer conditions that more closely emulate natural stream conditions.
The new culvert would increase the slope of SW 34`h St., so the applicant has proposed necessary new storm drains,
so that surface water runoff is adequately contained and does not enter the Springbrook Creek system.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall follow the submitted Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan, The applicant
shall implement conservation measures as recommended by the consultants in the Biological Assessment.
Policy Nexus: NIA
4. Plants
Impacts: An area of approximately 14,000 sq. ft. would be cleared for the project. The submitted Conceptual Wetland
Mitigation Plan proposes removal of invasive species and replanting with native herbaceous, shrub, and tree species.
The plan proposes widening the stream channel to form alcove pools on the west bank in two places, one to the south
and one to the north of SW 34'h St.. Root wads would be installed and willow, dogwood and black cottonwood would
be planted to enhance the area as fish habitat. The Planting Plan submitted with the application only depicts
plantings at the two new pools, with the remaining disturbed wetland and stream buffer area being seeded with a mix
of grass and sedges. As a condition of the Critical Areas Exemption granted for the project, the applicant is required
to provide the City with a revised planting plan depicting more extensive vegetation. The applicant is required to

REPORT OF MAY 9, 2006 Page 5 of 6
increase the number of willows and add additional trees in the buffer areas. A Monitoring and Maintenance Plan is
also required. With the additional vegetation, the impacts to plants by the project would be sufficiently mitigated.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended.
Policy Nexus: NIA
S. Animals
Impacts: Diverting Springbrook Creek and replacing the culvert could have a negative impact on fish for a limited
period of time. A Biological Assessment conducted by Jones & Stokes for R.W. Beck Associates lists an increase
of sediment transport and deposition downstream as a possible negative effect of the temporary diversion,
grading, dewatering and excavation at the site. They note that the relocation of fish may cause stress to the fish.
The consultants recommend limiting work to a period between June 15th and September 301h because it would
limit the number of fish in the stream at the time of diversion. Use of approved fish removal methods would
decrease the likelihood of injuring fish. Isolation of the in -channel work area, use of a Baker Tank for treating
dewatering discharge and adhering to erosion and sediment control measures would also avoid impacts to fish,
according to the report.
The applicant is working with the local Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) representative on
minimizing impacts to animals during the culvert replacement project. He has also submitted a Joint Aquatic
Resources Permit Application.
In addition to the measures addressed above, the applicant is proposing mitigating for possible impacts to fish by
creating two permanent alcove pools along the shoreline, one north and one south of SW 34th St.. Root wads
would be placed in the alcoves and vegetation would be planted to provide habitat for fish. Both the WDFW
representative and a representative of the Muckleshoot tribe have indicated that replanting a larger stretch of the
disturbed stream area in a way similar to the planned vegetation around the alcoves would be advisable to
mitigate the impacts of the project. As conditions of approval of the Critical Areas Exemption from the wetlands
regulations, a planting plan showing an increased number of plants in the wetland and buffer areas, and a
Monitoring and Maintenance Plan are required.
Positive impacts of the culvert replacement would be the decrease of water velocity as it passes under SW 34th
St. during high -flow events in the future. The submitted Biological Assessment furthermore predicts that by
replacing the existing four pipes with a wide concrete box culvert could also be beneficial to animals in and
around Springbrook Creek because it would reduce roadway overtopping events upstream, which would reduce
pollutant exposure to stream water and the potential for fish stranding.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall follow the submitted Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan. The applicant
shall implement conservation measures as recommended by the consultants in the Biological Assessment.
Policy Nexus: SEPA
6. Recreation
Impacts: The culvert replacement project, as presented in the submitted application, would not impact the public trail
along Springbrook Creek. Work at all phases of the project would be limited to the west bank of the stream and the
area directly along the shoreline on the east side of the stream.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is recommended.
Policy Nexus: NIA
7. Transportation
Impacts: The culvert replacement project would require partial or complete closure of SW 341h St. directly at the site
location. The impact to traffic in the vicinity would be mitigated with rerouting or phased construction.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended.
Policy Nexus: NIA

Project Narrative ICA �8
The City's SW 34th Street Culvert Replacement Project proposes to replace four side -by -
side and undersized 72-inch-diameter culverts with one 30- by 10-foot four-sided box
culvert at the intersection of Springbrook Creek and the SW 34th Street crossing in the
Renton valley. The project will include removal of existing culverts, dewatering and
diversion of water, and installation of a new culvert below the existing streambed,
rerouting an existing 8" sewer and relocation of gas, power and communications utilities
and reconstruction of SW 34".
Required permits include Environmental Review and Shoreline Exemption. The project
is located in the City designated land use area of Employment -Valley with a zoning
designation of Industrial -Light.
The estimated project construction cost is one million dollars.
Temporary diversion of creek flow will be required during construction. It is anticipated
that two 48-inch-diameter pipes would be sufficient to carry the flow. The Project will
require the excavation of 5,947 CY of soil and the subsequent placement of 3,268 CY of
fill in order to remove the existing culverts and install the new culvert and replace the
roadway. The 3,268 of fill includes on -site excavated material, imported material,
subgrade crushed rock, additional fill to subgrade and 277 CY of streambed gravel. The
excavation of the four existing 72-inch-diameter culverts will temporarily impact up to
5,331 square feet (0.12 acre) of wetland and associated streambed and 6,387 square feet
(0.15 acre) of wetland and stream buffer.
Construction equipment will include the following: excavator, dump truck, flatbed truck,
mobile crane, dewatering pumps, generator, vibratory sheet pile installation equipment,
vibratory compactor, and paver. All access will be via SW 34`h Street_ No off -road access
will be required. SW 34th Street or other impervious surfaces will be used as a staging
area.
Because this project falls under normal maintenance or repair of an existing structure and
will improvement fish passage and habitat, it is requested that a Certificate of Exemption
from Shoreline Substantial Development Permit Exemption be issued.

ENVIRONWNTAL CHECKLIST i?1ECE, ED
Purpose gfchecklist:• T✓
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), chapter 43.21C: RC:W, requires all governmental agencies to consider the
environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for all
proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide
information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if
it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required.
Instructions for applicants:
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies
use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an
EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can.
You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be
able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. if you really do not
know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal. write "do not know" or "does not apply." Complete answers to
the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later.
Some questions ask about governmental regulations. such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer
these questions if you can. If you have problems, the t(3overnmcntal agencies can assist you.
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on
different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects.
The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably
related to deLermining if there may be significant adverse impact.
Use of checklist for nonproject proposals. -
Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals. even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN
ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SI tEET FOR NONl'It[].II:C"I ACTIONS (part D),

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
a. General description of the site (circle one): flat, rolliiiL_ hill%, steep slopes, mountainous,
other.
The Project site is located in a generally flat area (valley bottomland [Renton Valley]). SW 34"' Street is a
four -lane arterial (asphalt) with concrete curbs. nutters. and sidewalks on each side. Springbrook Creek flows
in a linear channel under SW 34"' Street via four side-h\-side 72-inch-diameter corrugated metal pipe (CMP)
culverts. The area immediately adjacent to Springbrook Creek and the culverts is undeveloped palustrine
emerbent wetland (vegetation composed of grasses. `needs, with some shrubs adjacent to the outlet end of the
crossing).
b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope)?
The Project site is in a flat area. with the steepest slope being the embankment adjacent to the creek, at
approximately 30% slope.
c. What general types of soils are lound on the site (fir example, clay, sand, gravel, peat,
muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils. specify them and note any prime
farmland.
NRCS Soil Survey (King County) shows Snohomish Loam at the proposed Project site. A ,Coteclinica[ investigation
(HWA 2005) indicated approximately 4.5 icet of'fill is underlain by soft organic siltlpeat (lacustrine peat deposits) over
alluvium composed of unconsolidated sand, silt, and clay. Very soft estuarine deposits were noted below the alluvium to
the full depth of the exploration borings (G 1.5 beet).
d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so,
describe.
There is no surface indication or history of unstable soils. However, geotechnical investigation (HWA 2005) found
liquefiable layers of soil ranging from a total of 6 Ieet thick to 24 feet thick. Unstable soils were identified by subsurface
investigations of two exploratory borings to depths of 61.5 feet. Soils are considered to have very low strength and be
compressible under placement of fill or heavy struchrr'es. It is estimated that from l to 10 inches of settlement is
possible during a seismic event.
e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed.
Indicate source of fill.
The Project will require the trenc.hincy and excavation of 5,947 cubic yards (cy) of soil (see I c, above) and the
subsequent placement of 3,265 cy of fill in order to remove the existing culverts and install the new culvert and replace
the roadway. The 3,268 cy of fill includes on -.site excavated material, imported material, subgrade crushed rock,
additional fill to grade, and 277 cy of streambed c=ravels (clean, rounded gravel with a medium diameter of less than or
equal to 2 inches) and improvements.
f, Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use'? If so, generally describe.
As with any ground clearing and excavation. the erosion hazard will be increased. Excavation erosion may occur when
Springbrook Creek flow is diverted around the Project site and again when flows are returned to the channel to flow
though the new box culvert. Temporary diversion and culvert installation increase the risk of erosion. The temporary
diversion culvert may also increase the risk of.streambed erosion at the culvert.
g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project
construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)''
No change. SW 34111 Street will be reconstructed within its existing footprint.
h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any:
Cofferdams installed to isolate the Project From 5pringbrook Creek will prevent sediment disturbed during culvert
installation from affecting Springbrook Creek. Measures to reduce or control erosion include implementation of
construction best management practices (13MPs) (e.`g.. careful grading practices, isolating 4vork area from streamflow,
silt fences and/straw bales, storrn drain sediment filters) and implementation of the recommendations in the Wet
Weather Earthwork section of the HWA geotechnical report. f3MPs specific to in -water work will be used to minimise
erosion and sediments that could potentially- cause harm to fish. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Spill
Prevention, Control, and Containment (SPCC) Plan «il I be prepared for the project.
The roadway will be used for Project staging. Excavated soil may be temporarily stockpiled on the roadway or at an
upland site away from the construction area during_= culvert installation. All soil stockpiles and vehicle fueling and
equipment staging areas will be located at least 150 feet From surface waters.
a. Air
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile,
odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed'? If
any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Potential emissions include dust associated �%ith movinc= soil on the site during the earthwork phase (e.g., land clearing,
excavation), The extent of dust emitted to the air at any given time is dependent on level of activity. soil content and
moisture, wind speed, and type of equipment.
Emissions also include equipment exhaust and short-term odors associated with some construction activities (e.g.,
asphalt paving) in close proximity to the site.
b, Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that maN affect your proposal`? If so,
generally describe.
None known.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
Possible BMPs to reduce or control emissions include:
' cover, wet, or lower freeboard on materials transported by truck;
• clear roadways of mud and particulate matter (street sweeping);
■ route and schedule construction truck activity to avoid traffic delays and congestion to abate
concentrations of exhaust emissions; and
■ revegetate exposed soils as quickly as possible aller grading activities;
• stabilized construction entrance with wheel w ashiri

3. Water
a. Surface:
1) Is there any surface water body on or in the inmmediate vicinity of the site (including
year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater. lakes. ponds. wetlands)? if yes, describe type
and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into.
Wetlands and other waters of the U.S. have been delineated on the Project site by Jones & Stokes (2005).
Springbrook Creek flows through the Project site and is designated a Shoreline of the State. As such,
Springbrook Creek is a Class l stream by Renton code. having a I00-foot buffer.
Two narrow, riverine, flow -through wetlands exist along Springbrook Creek at the site. Both wetlands are
classified as palustrine emergent (Cowardin ct al 1979) and meet Washington State Department of Ecology's
(Fcology's) definition of a Category 3 wetland and the City of Renton's definition of a Category 2 wetland
(Renton Code 4-3-050). Renton Code assigns a 5046ut buffer to Category 2 wetlands in the City of Renton.
These wetlands are hydrologically supported by the hit}Ir groundwater table and high flows associated with the
creek.
2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (%%ithin 200 feet) the described
waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans.
Yes, the majority of work will occur over and within Springbrook Creek and its associated wetlands at the intersection
with SW 34''' Street. A total of 5.331 square feet (0. 12 acre) of wetland area (5,041 below the ordinary high-water mark
(OHWM) and 290 above the OHWM) would be temporarily affected. A total of 6,387 square feet (0.15 acre) of wetland
and stream buffer would be temporarily affected.
All in -stream work will be completed within the approved in -water construction window. Prior to beginning any in -
stream work, National Marine Fisheries Service (NC)AA Fisheries) fish exclusion protocols will be implemented to
remove and exclude fish from the work area. 1=ollowino fish removal and exclusion, cofferdams will be installed to
isolate the construction area.
Springbrook Creek will be diverted around the existing and future culvert location through two 48-inch-diameter CMPs.
The construction area will need to be dewatered prior- to culvert replacement. The dewatering discharge will be treated in
a Baker Tank prior to discharge back to Springbrook Creek. if necessary, to meet state water quality standards. If
dewatering water exceeds state water quality standards, the discharge will be relocated to an authorized discharge location
for water quality treatment (e.g., sanitary sewer).
3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed
from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of'thc site that would be affected.
Indicate the source of till material.
The project will require the trenching and excavation of S,947 cy of soil (see l c. above) and the subsequent placement of
3,268 cy of fill in order to remove the existing culxer'ts and install the new culvert and replace the roadway. Of this,
100 cy will be excavated from Wetland 1, and 160 cv will be excavated from Wetland 2. No till will be placed in either
Wetland 1 or in Wetland 2. Fill includes 277 cv of streambed gravels and improvements.
Fill material will be on -site excavated materials. imported backfill, subgrade crushed rock backfill, and streambed gravel
(clean, rounded gravel with a medium diameter of less than or equal to 2 inches) and improvements.
4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general
description, purpose, and approximate quantities ii'knm%ii.
Stream diversion and dewatering will be required. See response to 3.a.2 above.
5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year Iloodplain? I f'so, note location on the site. plan.
Yes.
6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so.
describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge,
The Project will not discharge any waste materials to surface waters. As noted above in B.1.h, all vehicle fueling, soil
stockpiling, and equipment staging areas will be located at least 150 feet from surface waters.
b. Ground:
1} Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give
general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known.
Groundwater will be withdrawn for excavation dewatcrim,. See 3.a.2 above.
Water withdrawn to dewater the Project site %will be discharged to Springbrook Creek downstream of the construction
area, The turbidity of the dewatering discharge N01 be checked periodically. It' turbidity would cause a water quality
violation, the discharge will be routed to a Bakes- "Tank for filtration or disposal through the sanitary sewer system. In the
event that dewatering causes undesirable ground subsidence, dewatering discharge may be reinjected into groundwater at
selected locations in the Project vicinity to prevem excessive settling.
2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the around from septic tanks or
other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage: industrial, containing the
following chernicals... ; agricultural; etc.). Describe the f_,eneral size of the system, the
number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans
the system(s) are expected to serve.
NIA
c. Water runoff (including stormwater):
1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm �i ater) and method of collection
and disposal, if any (include quantities, if kno4%,O, Where will this water flow'!
Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe.
The Project will not expand the existing roadway : however, the changes in topography created by culvert
installation will require installation of four new storm drains. Runoff from the roadway will be collected at the
new storm drains to be located at the low points in the new roadway. Storm drains will be connected to the
existing stormwater system, draining to Springhrook Creek,
2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? 1 f so, generally describe.
During construction, there is the potential tier- waste material to enter the surface water system, primarily petroleum
hydrocarbons from construction equipment.
d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, gromid, and runoff water impacts, if any:
The contractor will be required to isolate the work area from strearntlow during construction and provide a Spill
Prevention, Control, and Containment (SPCC) Plan. flte plan would include specific notification procedures, cleanup
and disposal instructions for different products, and quick -response control, containment, and cleanup measures that will
be available on -site prior to the start of construction. As noted above in B.1.It, all vehicle fueling and equipment staging
areas will be located at least 150 feet from surface waxers: erosion and sediment control BMPs would be used to reduce
and control sediment impacts.

Construction Mitigation Description MAR 2 3 2006
� EI VLZIi
Project Construction Dates
The SW 34`h Street Culvert Replacement Project is scheduled for construction in the summer of
2006. Project construction will most likely begin in June with project completion in September.
However, the conditions specified in the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife
HPA permit will restrict the in -stream construction work between June 15 and September 30.
Hours of Operation
It is anticipated that the contractor will work from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday.
If the Contractor requests to work outside of these hours, the Contractor will need to obtain
written approval from the City.
Propose Hauling/Transportation Routes
Since the project is located on SW 341h Street, truck traffic to and from the site will be routed to
either Lind Ave. SW or Oakesdale Ave. SW for access to 1-405 or SR-167. Based on the City's
haul route map, there are no route restrictions for trucks traveling sorthbound. For northbound
travel, trucks will be required to use Grady Way when accessing from Lind Ave. SW or
Oakesdale Ave. SW.
Construction Mitigation Measures
Dust:
To minimize dust, the following best management practices (BMPs) will be implemented:
1. Cover, wet or lower freeboard of materials transported by truck.
2. Conduct street sweeping at the end of the workday.
3. InstalI and utilize stabilized construction entrance with wheel wash -down for trucks
exiting the site.
4. Re -vegetate exposed soils as quickly as possible after grading activities.
Traffic:
Prior to construction, the Contractor will be required to submit a traffic control plan to the City
for review and approval. The traffic control plan may require the Contractor to haul during
hours when traffic flow is minimized, such as during off-peak hours.
Road Closure:
In order to reduce the number of working days and thus the construction costs and impacts to
businesses, one option that is being considered is to close off SW 34`h Street to through traffic at
the culvert crossing. Traffic would still have access to SW 34a` Street from Oakesdale Ave. SW
and Lind Ave. SW but would not have eastbound or westbound access across Springbrook Creek
within the project construction limits. The Contractor will need to maintain local access to
businesses along SW 34`h Street at all times during construction. Any road closure; however,
will require approval from the City Council and the Fire Marshall.
Construction Mitigation
March 14, 2006
Page 2 of 2
Erosion:
To minimize the amount of erosion during construction, the Contractor will be required to isolate
the work area from the stream and install erosion and sediment control BMPs, such as silt fence
and temporary catch basin inserts, to prevent silt and turbid water from entering Springbrook
Creek.
Toxic Chemicals:
The Contractor will prepare a Spill Prevention Control Plan (SPCC), which must be approved by
the City prior to beginning construction. The SPCC must explain how the Contractor will
prevent, control and contain an accidental spill of hazardous material. The SPCC must include
the following elements:
1. All hazardous materials will be stored on land in containers clearly labeled with the
contents and appropriate for the specific material. Containers will be stored in areas with
appropriate safeguards (under cover, on an impervious surface).
2. No fueling or maintenance of construction equipment shall occur within 150 feet of
surface waters.
3. Personnel who transfer, or otherwise handle hazardous materials, will be trained in the
safe handling of the materials. They will have knowledge of the SPCC Plan as well as
the procedures and equipment necessary to initiate control and containment of a spill.
4. There will be daily inspections of equipment and hazardous materials storage areas.
5. If an accidental spill occurs, on -site personnel will immediately initiate measures to
control the source of the spill and contain the spilled material.
6. Materials necessary for the control and containment of a spill of hazardous materials will
include, but may not be limited to, oil -absorbent booms, oil -absorbent rags, and other
appropriate absorbent materials.
7. All materials necessary for the control and containment of hazardous materials will be
kept within the Project corridor, and personnel will be knowledgeable of their locations
and their manner of use.
8. If an accidental spill of hazardous materials occurs, the appropriate agencies will be
notified.
9. Control and containment efforts will take precedence over all other Project -related work.
Work will not resume until a spill has been contained and cleaned up; the cause of the
spill identified, and measures are taken to rectify the problem.
10. Materials used in control and containment efforts will be collected and disposed of at an
approved facility designed for the safe handling of hazardous materials.
Noise:
Increased short-term noise levels will occur from construction equipment such as dump trucks,
dewatering pumps, generators, vibratory compactor, and excavator. The project is located in a
light industrial area where background noise levels are expected to be of similar anticipated
levels from construction equipment. Since the use of trucks and other equipment will be
restricted to working hours, noise mitigation measures are not proposed at this time. If noise
becomes a problem during construction, the Contractor may be required to use dump trucks with
lined beds, or backup lights in lieu of backup beepers to reduce excessive noise.

City of Renton —ED
Chapter 1. Introduction
This technical memorandum describes a wetland delineation conducted for the City
of Renton, along Springbrook Creek where it crosses 34th Street. The project area is
located in Section 30, Township 23N, Range 5E; and Section 25, Township 23N,
Range 4E (Figure 1). The purpose of this work is to provide baseline information for
environmental permits required for replacement of the culverts at 34th Street.
Two wetlands were identified and delineated along each side of Springbrook Creek,
upstream and downstream of 34th Street_ Springbrook Creek was straightened in this
area, and the wetlands run along both sides of the stream. Both wetlands meet the
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) definition of a Category III wetland,
for which the City Code (4-3-050) requires 50-foot buffers.
The ordinary high water mark (OHWM) was delineated along the banks of
Springbrook Creek 100 feet upstream and downstream of 34th Street.
The delineation methods and both wetlands are described in detail below.
Chapter 2. Methods
2.1. Waters and Wetlands
On April 19, 2005, Jones & Stokes biologists conducted a wetland delineation along
Springbrook Creek, 100 feet upstream and downstream of 34th Street. The biologists
used delineation methods from the Corps' Wetland Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory 1987) and the 1997 Washington State Wetlands
Identification and Delineation Manual (Washington Department of Ecology 1997).
Both manuals require the presence of wetland indicators for vegetation, hydrology,
and soils before an area is considered a wetland.
Orange flagging was hung to indicate the edge of the wetland area. Red and white
striped flagging was hung to indicate the location of sample plots. Flags were
numbered in sequence on each side of the stream,

Stream Reconnaissance Technical Memorandum
Wetland habitat types are based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
wetland classification system (Cowardin et al. 1979), which categorizes wetlands
according to plant community types and hydrologic regime. This system is
commonly used by local jurisdictions to help determine wetland functions and
values.
Wetlands ratings were based on Ecology's Washington State Wetlands Rating
System — Western Washington (Ecology 2004) and the City of Renton's wetland
classification system (Renton Code 4-3-050).
The OHWM along Springbrook Creek was delineated based on evidence of frequent
inundation, including: scour, water -stained vegetation, water staining of culverts, and
deposition of drifting vegetative debris. The regulatory definition of ordinary high
water, is found in RMC 4-11-150:
"On lakes and streams, that mark found by examining the bed and banks and
ascertaining where the presence and action of waters are so common and
usual, and so long continued in all ordinary years, as to mark upon the soil a
character distinct from that of the abutting upland..."
Chapter 3. Results
Jones & Stokes biologist identified and delineated two wetlands within the project
area. Both wetlands are narrow, straight riparian wetlands along Springbrook Creek.
The biological and physical features associated with both wetlands are described
below. OHWM followed very closely to the wetland boundaries. Wetlands and
OHWM are shown graphically in Figure 2.
3.1. Wetland 'I
Wetland 1 is a narrow riparian wetland that runs along both sides of Springbrook
Creek upstream of 34th. Wetlands on both sides of a narrow stream (less than 50
feet) can be considered one unit, with the creek a characteristic of the wetland (Hruby
2004). In the project area, the wetland is dominated by palustrine emergent (PEM)
habitat. Wetland hydrology is supported by high flows of Springbrook Creek and
groundwater.
Wetland 1 meets Ecology's definition of a Category III wetland and the City of
Renton's definition of a Category 2 wetland because it is greater than 2200 square
feet and is not isolated (associated with Springbrook Creek). Wetland 1 is not

severely disturbed (Category 3 wetland), and does not possess the high quality
attributes of a Category 1 wetland. The City of Renton requires that Type 2 wetlands
are given a 50-foot buffer.
3.1.1. Vegetation
The wetland is completely dominated by reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea)
with occasional stinging nettles (Urtica dioica). In two field sample plots, over 50%
of the dominant vegetation had a wetland indicator status of "FAC" or wetter. This
field indicator meets the Corps requirements for evidence of wetland hydrophytic
vegetation.
Hydrology
The hydrology of Wetland I is associated with a high groundwater table and high
flows of Springbrook Creek. One sample plot was saturated to the surface while
another was saturated to the surface with standing water 8 inches below the surface.
Standing water and saturation in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile meet the
Corps requirements for evidence of wetland hydrology.
Solis
Two soil samples were taken along the wetland delineation boundary. One sample
had a low chroma value of I in the upper 10 inches of the soil horizon. The other
sample had a chroma value of 1 in the top 10 inches with mottles. Chroma values of
I with or without mottling in the upper 10 inches meet the Corps requirement for
hydric soils.
Upland Conditions
Upland conditions around Wetland I begin with a change in vegetation that coincides
with the topographic break at the toe of the hiilslope that runs the entire length of
Springbrook Creek. Upland habitat is dominated by Himalayan blackberry (Rubus
discolor) on the west side, and various invasive herbs and shrubs on the east side.
Vegetation observed includes Himalayan blackberry, stinging nettle, reed
canarygrass, catchweed (Galium aparine), bitter nightshade (Solanum dulcamara),
poison -hemlock (Conium maculatum), and silver cottonwood (Populus alba).
3.2. Wetland 2
Wetland 2, similar to Wetland 1, is a narrow, riverine, flowthrough wetland that runs
along both sides of Springbrook Creek downstream of 34s' Street. Like Wetland 1,
Wetland 2 is considered one unit. In the project area, the wetland is dominated by
palustrine emergent (PEM) habitat. Wetland hydrology is supported by high flows of
Springbrook Creek and groundwater.
s - May 24, 2005
34th Street Culvert Replacement Wetland Delineation and
Stream Reconnaissance Technical Memorandum
Wetland 2 meets Ecology's definition of a Category III wetland and the City of
Renton's definition of a Category 2 wetland because it is greater than 2200 square
feet, is not isolated (associated with Springbrook Creek), is not severely disturbed
(Category 3 wetland), and does not possess the high quality attributes of a Category 1
wetland. Type 2 wetlands in the City of Renton are given a 50-foot buffer.
3.2.1. Vegetation
Wetland 2 is completely dominated by reed canarygrass. Therefore, in the two field
sample plots, over 50% of the dominant vegetation had a wetland indicator status of
"FAC" or wetter. This field indicator meets the Corps requirements for evidence of
wetland hydrophytic vegetation.
Hydrology
The hydrology of Wetland 2 is associated with a high groundwater table and high
flows of Springbrook Creek. One sample plot was saturated to the surface while
another was saturated to the surface with standing water 4 inches below the surface.
Standing water and saturation in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile meet the
Corps requirements for evidence of wetland hydrology.
Soils
Two soil samples were taken along the wetland delineation boundary. One sample i
had a Iow chroma value of I in the upper 10 inches of the soil horizon. The other
sample had a chroma value of 2 in the top 10 inches with mottles. Chroma values of
1 and chroma values of 2 with mottling in the upper 10 inches meet the Corps
requirement for hydric soils.
Upland Conditions
Upland conditions around Wetland 2 begin with a change in vegetation that coincides
with the topographic break at the toe of the hillslope that runs the entire length of
Springbrook Creek. Upland habitat is dominated by Himalayan blackberry on the
west side, and mostly mowed/bare ground on the east side. Vegetation observed
includes Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass.
3.3. Stream Reconnaissance
Washington State has designated Springbrook Creek a Shoreline of the State (WAC
173-18-210). As a Shoreline of the State, Renton classifies Springbrook Creek as a
Class I stream with a standard buffer width of 100 feet. In the vicinity of 34"' Street,
Springbrook Creek is a modified straight, trapezoidal, channel. Riparian vegetation
is limited, dominated by reed canarygrass. Several small (1- to 5-inch diameter)
willows grow to the north of 341h Street, between 30 Street and the outlet of the
City of Renton `4 --—�
34th Street Culvert Replacement Wetland Delineation and
Stream Reconnaissance Technical Memorandum
existing Sprinbrook Creek culverts. Stream gradient is low, and habitat is essentially
one long glide. In places, reed canarygrass has invaded the active channel. Stream
substrate is primarily a mixture of gravel and sand with some finer sediment.
The existing culverts at 34'h Street are low gradient and do not appear to impair fish
passage under normal flows. Salmon and trout are known to spawn upstream of the
site. Kerwin & Nelson (2000) report chinook salmon, coho salmon, cutthroat trout,
and steelhead trout all use Springbrook Creek and its tributary Mill Creek, located
well upstream of 34th Street.
Although velocity through the existing 34th Street culverts would be highest during
peak flows, it is likely that even at peak flows, the culverts do not prevent fish
passage. However, no velocity measurements have been taken to confirm this
supposition.
As is typical of modified urban streams, Springbrook Creek contains little woody
debris or other habitat forming structure. No large woody debris was found in the
stream or along its banks for at least 200 feet upstream or downstream of 34`h Street,
on April 19, 2005.
Chapter 4. Regulatory Issues
Several federal, state, and local regulations affect activities in wetland areas and their
buffers. Agencies that have jurisdiction over activities in wetlands include, but may
not be limited to:
• Corps
■ Ecology; and
• City of Renton.
The Corps administers Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which regulates the
discharge of dredged or fill materials into Waters of the United States, including
wetlands. For projects requiring Section 404 Permits, the Corps makes the final
determination as to whether the area meets the definition of a jurisdictional wetland.
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires applicants for Section 404 permits to
obtain 401 water quality certification from the appropriate certifying agency. In
Washington, that agency is the Ecology. Section 401 certification ensures that
projects discharging to Waters of the United States, including wetlands, fall within
specific water quality standards. Conditions of the 401 Certification become
May 24, 2005
Im
34th Street Culvert Replacement Wetland Delineation and
Stream Reconnaissance Technical Memorandum
conditions of the Corps 404 Permit. Project information should be submitted to
Ecology for approval.
Applicable City of Renton regulations include RMC Title IV - Development
Regulations: Chapter 3 (Environmental Regulations) and Chapter 4 (Property
Development Standards).
Section 404 and 401 Permits require the submittal of a Joint Aquatic Resources
Permit Application (DARPA) to the above -mentioned agencies for approval before
initiating any activities within the wetland identified on -site. Depending on the
proposed activity that occurs in the wetland, a wetland report and wetland mitigation
plan are typically requested by the Corps, Ecology, and the local jurisdiction, as part
of the JARPA submittal.

Wetland Rating Form— western Washington l August 2004
Does the wetland being rated meet any of the criteria below?
If you answer YES to any of the questions below you will need to protect the wetland
according to the regulations regarding the special characteristics found in the wetland.
SP 1. Has the wetland been documented as a habitat for any Federally listed
Threatened or Endangered plant or animal species (TIE species)?
For the purposes of this rating system, "documented" means the wetland is on the
appropriate state or federal database.
SP2. Has the wetland been documented as habitat for any State listed Threatened or
Endangered plant or animal species?i'
For the purposes of this rating system, "documented" means the wetland is on the
a roriate state database.
SP3. Does the wetland contain individuals of Priority species listed by the WDFW
for the state?
SP4. Does the wetland have a local significance in addition to its functions? For
example, the wetland has been identified in the Shoreline Master Program,
Ll
the Critical Areas Ordinance, or in a local management plan as having
special significance.
To complete the next part o the data sheet you will need to determine the
H dro geomorphic Class of the wetland being rated.
The hydrogeomorphic classification groups wetlands into those that function in similar ways. This
simplifies the questions needed to answer how well the wetland functions. The Hydrogeomorphic
Glass of a wetland can be determined using the key below. See p. 24 for more detailed instructions
on classifying wetlands.
Wetland hating Form -- western Washington 2 August 2004
Classification of Vegetated Wetlands for Western Washington
Wetland Name:
Date:
L Alethe. water levels in the wetland usually controlled by tides (i.e. except during floods)?
NO go to 2 YES -- the wetland class is Tidal Fringe
If yes, is the salinity of the water during periods of annual low flow below 0.5 ppt (parts per
thousand)? YES — Freshwater Tidal Fringe NO — Saltwater Tidal Fringe (Estuarine)
If your wetland can be classified as a Freshwater Tidal Fringe use the forms for Riverine
wetlands. If it is Saltwater Tidal Fringe it is rated as an Estuarine wetland. Wetlands that
were called estuarine in the first and second editions of the rating system are called Salt
Water Tidal Fringe in the Hydrogeomorphic Classification. Estuarine wetlands were
categorized separately in the earlier editions, and this separation is being kept in this
revision. To maintain consistency between editions, the term "Estuarine" wetland is kept.
Please note, however, that the characteristics that define Category I and H estuarine
wetlands have changed (see p. ).
2. Is a topography within the wetland flat and precipitation is only source (>90%) of water to it.
NO go to 3 YES — The wetland class is Flats
If your wetland can be classified as a "Flats" wetland, use the form for Depressional
wetlands.
3. Does the wetland meet both of the following criteria?
The vegetated part of the wetland is on the shores of a body of open water (without any
vegetation on the surface) where at least 20 acres (S ha) are permanently inundated
(ponded or flooded);
_At least 30% of the open water area is deeper than 6.6 ft (2 m)?
NQ� go to 4 YES — The wetland class is Lake -fringe (Laeustrine Fringe)
4. Does the wetland meet all of the following criteria?
The wetland is on a slope (slope can be very gradual),
_ .The water flows through the wetland in one direction (unidirectional) and usually
comes from seeps. It may flow subsurface, as sheetflow, or in a swale without distinct
banks.
The water leaves the wetland without being impounded?
NOTE: Surface water does not pond in these type of wetlands except occasionally in
very small and shallow depressions or behind hummocks (depressions are usually
<3ft diameter and less than 1 foot deep).
NQ� go to 5 YES — The wetland class is Slope
5. Is the wetland in a valley, or stream channel, where it gets inundated by overbank flooding from
that stream or river? The flooding should occur at least once every two years, on the average, to
answer "yes. " The wetland can contain depressions that are filled with water when the river is
not flooding.
NO - go to 6 YES 71 The wetland class is Riveriue
Wetland Rating Form — western Washington 3 August 2004
6. Is the wetland in a topographic depression in which water ponds, or is saturated to the surface, at
some time of the year. This means that any outlet, fpresent, is higher than the interior of the
wetland.
NO —go to 7 YES — The wetland class is Depressional
7. Is the wetland located in, a very flat area with no obvious depression and no stream or river
running through it and providing water. The wetland seems to be maintained by high
groundwater in the area. The wetland may be ditched, but has no obvious natural outlet.
NO —go to 8 YES — The wetland class is Depressional
8. Your wetland seems to be difficult to classify. For example, seeps at the base of a slope may
grade into a riverine floodplain, or a small stream within a depressional wetland has a zone of
flooding along its sides. Sometimes we find characteristics of several different hydrogeomorphic
classes within one wetland boundary. Use the following table to identify the appropriate class to
use for the rating system if you have several HGM classes present within your wetland. NOTE:
Use this table only if the class that is recommended in the second column represents 101/o or more
of the total area of the wetland being rated. If the area of the second class is less than 10% classify
the wetland using the first class.
Slope + Riverine Riverine
Slope + Depressional Depressional
Slone + Lake -fringe Lake-frinee
I Depressional + Riverine along stream within boundary I Depressional _
Denressional + Lake -fringe Denressional
Salt Water Tidal Fringe and any other class of freshwater Treat as ESTUARINE under
wetland wetlands with special
characteristics
If you are unable still to determine which of the above criteria apply to you' _W- etland, or you have
more than 2 HGM classes within a wetland boundary, classify the wetland as,Depressional for
the rating.
Wetland Rating Form — western Washington 4 August 2004

Wetland hating Form — western Washington. 15 August 2004
H 2.3 Near or adjacent to other 13rionty habitats listed by WDFW (seep. 82)
Which of the following priority habitats are within 330ft (100m) of the wetland?
(s text for a more detailed description of these priority habitats)
Riparian: The area adjacent to aquatic systems with flowing water that contains
elements of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems which mutually influence each other.
Aspen Stands: Pure or mixed stands of aspen greater than 0.8 ha (2 acres).
Cliffs: Greater than 7.6 m (25 ft) high and occurring below 5000 fL
Old -growth forests: (Old -growth west of Cascade crest) Stands of at least 2 tree
species, forming a multi -layered canopy with occasional small openings; with at
least 20 trees/ha (S treeslacre) > 81 cm (32 in) dbh or > 200 years of age.
Mature forests: Stands with average diameters exceeding 53 cm (21 in) dbh; crown
cover may be less that 100%; crown cover may be less that 100%; decay,
decadence, numbers of snags, and quantity of large downed material is generally
less than that found in old -growth; 80 - 200 years old west of the Cascade crest.
Prairies: Relatively undisturbed areas (as indicated by dominance of native plants)
where grasses and/or forbs form the natural climax plant community.
Talus: Homogenous areas of rock rubble ranging in average size 0.15 - 2.0 m (0.5 -
6.5 ft), composed of basalt, andesite, and/or sedimentary rock, including riprap
slides and mine tailings. May be associated with cliffs.
Caves: A naturally occurring cavity, recess, void, or system of interconnected
passages
Oregon white Oak: Woodlands Stands of pure oak or oak/conifer associations
where canopy coverage of the oak component of the stand is 25%.
Urban Natural Open Space: A priority species resides within or is adjacent to the
open space and uses it for breeding and/or regular feeding; and/or the open space
functions as a corridor connecting other priority habitats, especially those that
would otherwise be isolated; and/or the open space is an isolated remnant of natural
habitat larger than 4 ha (10 acres) and is surrounded by urban development.
EstuarylEs#uary-like: Deepwater tidal habitats and adjacent tidal wetlands, usually
semi -enclosed by land but with open, partly obstructed or sporadic access to the
open ocean, and in which ocean water is at least occasionally diluted by freshwater
runoff from the land. The salinity may be periodically increased above that of the
open ocean by evaporation. Along some low -energy coastlines there is appreciable
dilution of sea water. Estuarine habitat extends upstream and landward to where
ocean -derived salts measure less than 0.5ppt during the period of average annual
low flow. Includes both estuaries and lagoons.
Marine/Estuarine Shorelines: Shorelines include the intertidal and subtidal zones
of beaches, and may also include the backshore and adjacent components of the
terrestrial landscape (e.g., cliffs, snags, mature trees, dunes, meadows) that are
important to shoreline associated fish and wildlife and that contribute to shoreline
function (e.g., sand/rock/log recruitment, nutrient contribution, erosion control).
If wetland has 3 or more priority habitats = 4 points
If wetland has 2 priority habitats = 3 points
If wetland has 1 priority habitat =1 point No habitats = 0points
