The wetland fill area is not in a shore land, but the deminimis exemption has already been used for the original subdivision of the Clearwater Creek development, thus the deminimis does not apply. Compensatory mitigation/replacement is proposed by purchasing 0.04 acres of new wetland credit and 0.04 acres of public value credit from an active wetland bank in an adjacent major watershed. INITIAL COMMENTS/CONCERNS: WCA rules require the applicant to consider replacement (in order) first onsite or in the same minor watershed, then in the same major watershed, then in the same County, and then in an adjacent watershed or County. The applicant should provide justification for purchasing credits in an adjacent watershed. There are 3 private wetland banks in the same major watershed (20) according to the BWSR website. The current proposed mitigation is "out-of-kind" replacement because it is not of the same wetland type (wetland banking site has Type 3 wetland versus Type6/7 being impacted), is not in the same County, and is not in the same major watershed. The out-of-kind replacement ratio is 2.25: I.
