Enhancement actions include, but <br />are not limited to, increasing plant diversity and cover; increasing wildlife habitat and <br />structural complexity (snags, woody debris); installing environmentally compatible <br />erosion controls; removing non-indigenous plant or animal species; or removing <br />human-made structures or fill that are degrading ecological functions or values. <br />33. "Environmental designation" means a categorical classification of a land parcel <br />that reflects the biological and physical character of the shoreline, as well as the type <br />of development that has or should take place in a given area. <br />34. "Exempt" developments are those set forth in WAC 173-27-040 and RCW <br />90.58.030(3)(e), 90.58.140(9), and 90.58.515 which are not required to obtain a <br />substantial development permit but which must otherwise comply with applicable <br />provisions of the act and the local master program. <br />35. "Fair market value" of a development is the open market bid price for conducting <br />the work, using the equipment and facilities, and purchase of the goods, services <br />and materials necessary to accomplish the development. This would normally <br />equate to the cost of hiring a contractor to undertake the development from start to <br />finish, including the cost of labor, materials, equipment and facility usage, <br />transportation and contractor overhead and profit. The fair market value of the <br />development shall include the fair market value of any donated, contributed or found <br />labor, equipment or materials. <br />36. "Feasible" means, for the purpose of this chapter, that an action, such as a <br />development project, mitigation, or preservation requirement, meets all of the <br />following conditions: <br />1. The action can be accomplished with technologies and methods that have been <br />used in the past in similar circumstances, or studies or tests have demonstrated <br />in similar circumstances that such approaches are currently available and likely <br />to achieve the intended results; <br />2. The action provides a reasonable likelihood of achieving its intended purpose; <br />3. The action does not physically preclude achieving the project's primary intended <br />legal use; and <br />4. In cases where these guidelines require certain actions unless they are <br />infeasible, the burden of proving infeasibility is on the applicant. In determining <br />an action's infeasibility, the reviewing agency may weigh the action's relative <br />public costs and public benefits, considered in the short- and long-term time <br />frames. <br /> <br />37. "Feedlot" means the use of structures or pens for the concentrated feeding or <br />holding of animals or poultry including, but not limited to, horses, cattle, sheep or <br />swine. This definition includes dairy confinement areas, slaughterhouses, shipping <br />terminal holding pens, poultry and/or egg production facilities and fur farms, but does <br />not include animal husbandry and normal farming practices.
