Buffer enhancement plan for creek setback

A buffer enhancement plan must meet the goals and standards of the City’s Environmentally Critical Areas code (TMC 18.45). Enhancement would include "actions performed to improve the condition of an existing degraded critical area or its buffer so that the functions it provides are of higher quality." That plan must be developed by a qualified professional, defined by TMC 18.45.040(A)(1)(D) as: “A qualified professional for watercourses and frequently flooded areas means a hydrologist, fisheries biologist, engineer or other scientist with experience in preparing watercourse assessments.” A qualified professional must have obtained a B.S. or B.A. or equivalent degree in ecology or related science, environmental studies, fisheries, geotechnical or related field, and two years of related work experience.

TMC refers to the City of Tukwila WA. An example of such a plan is enclosed.
