A two phased approach is anticipated: Phase One verifies the source and identifies the <br />limitations of wetland mapping data uploaded onto COMPAS and Phase Two identifies <br />existing technologies available to vet or refine wetlands appearing in COMPAS. <br />PW had originally been optimistic following the recent supreme court ruling regarding <br />wetland identification and federal regulatory nexus. Upon further evaluation, the federal <br />jurisdictional issue will likely not assist the county managing wetland identification in <br />Washington State (DOE jurisdiction). Our approach has now shifted to improved <br />accuracy screening potential wetland impact on county tax parcels. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />The initial investigation phase is anticipated to cost approximately $3,000. Phase Two is <br />likely to cost $3,000 - $5,000. <br />Refining our current wetland layer is expected to save rate payers thousands of dollars in <br />wetland delineation costs. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />EXHIBIT 1: EXECUTIVE ORDER 89-10 EMPOWERING WA DOE <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Public Works "Work Session Staff Report", 2023 <br />
