1889 GOVERNMENT MEANDER LINE. The western limit of privately-owned beach property, the approximate location of mean high tide (MHT), at the time Washington achieved statehood in 1889. Also termed The 1889 Line or the Western Upland Boundary, or simply the 1889 Line. DEFLATION PLAIN: The low area between the foredune and old dune ridge, where the foredune blocks the deposition of new sand and wind scours and erodes the surface, often down to the water table. FOREDUNE: The large, currently developing primary dune, closest to the ocean. INTERDUNAL WETLAND: Wetlands located in small interdunal depressions to extensive deflation plains behind stabilized foredunes. Interdunal wetlands are primarily fresh water; they have mineral soil; and they are groundwater dependent with seasonal fluctuations. MEAN HIGH WATER: The average of all the high water heights observed over a specific 19- year period (currently 1983 through 2001) called the National Tidal Datum Epoch. Also termed Mean High Tide.
