Wetland classification Sample Clauses

Wetland classification. ‌ (1) Wetland classification shall use the Department of Ecology’s Washington State Wetland Rating System for Eastern Washington (Ecology Publication #00-00-000, or as revised and approved by Ecology), which contains the definitions and methods for determining if the criteria below are met. Rating categories shall be applied as the wetland exists at the time of an associated permit application. Wetland rating categories shall not change due to illegal modifications. A. Category I wetlands are: 1) alkali wetlands; 2) wetlands with high conservation value that are identified by scientists of the Washington Natural Heritage Program/DNR; 3) bogs and calcareous fens; 4) mature and old-growth forested wetlands over ¼ acre with slow-growing trees; 5) forests with stands of aspen; and 6) wetlands that perform many functions very well (scores between 22-27 points). These wetlands are those that 1) represent a unique or rare wetland type; or 2) are more sensitive to disturbance than most wetlands; or 3) are relatively undisturbed and contain ecological attributes that are impossible to replace within a human lifetime; or 4) provide a high level of function. B. Category II wetlands are: 1) forested wetlands in the floodplains of rivers; 2) mature and old-growth forested wetlands over ¼ acre with fast-growing trees; 3) vernal pools; and 4) wetlands that perform functions well (scores between 19-21 points). These wetlands are difficult, though not impossible, to replace, and provide high levels of some functions. These wetlands occur more commonly than Category I wetlands, but still need a relatively high level of protection. C. Category III wetlands are wetlands with a moderate level of functions (scores between 16-18 points). Wetlands scoring between 16-18 points generally have been disturbed in some ways and are often less diverse or more isolated from other natural resources in the landscape than Category II wetlands. D. Category IV wetlands have the lowest levels of functions (scores fewer than 16 points) and are often heavily disturbed. These are wetlands that should be replaceable, and in some cases may be improved. However, experience has shown that replacement cannot be guaranteed in any specific case. These wetlands may provide some important functions and also need to be protected (2) If a proposal is located within three hundred feet of a wetland, the applicant shall provide the following reports prior to development authorization: A.
