9b. Are any of the wetlands or waterbodies identified in Part 7 or Part 8 on the Washington Department of Ecology’s 303(d) List?

If you know whether the waterbodies you propose to impact are on the current 303d list, indicate that and provide the parameters of the 303(d) list. The 303(d) list is a designation of the current conditions of a waterbody including existing problems and pollutants the waterbody may contain.

You can find out whether the waterbodies are on the 303d list by going to: https://ecology.wa.gov/Water-Shorelines/Water-quality/Water-improvement/Assessment-of-state-waters-303d.

Definition(s):

·         303(d) list: A list of all surface waters in the state where pollutants impair beneficial uses of the water (such as drinking, recreation, aquatic habitat, and industrial use).

·         Wetland: An area that is inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances does support, a prevalence of vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.
