<br />Management Implications <br />Based on the finding above, the wetland area adjacent to the Vantage Bay Development would likely be <br />rated Class III, however, this was not confirmed by EAS during 2017 because the site was not officially <br />rated or delineated during 2017 using the Washington State Wetland Rating System for Eastern <br />Washington 2014 Update. The presence of shining flat sedge (if present in the adjacent wetland) should <br />not affect the wetland rating because this species no longer has a special state listing status. Per the <br />KCSMP, which was updated on March 7, 2016, the wetland category and intensity of use and <br />development determines the wetland buffer for the Vantage Bay Development. <br /> <br />LITERATURE CITED <br />GCPUD (Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County, Washington) and Alliance Consulting Group. <br />2010.
