11-2-3: CONTENTS OF SPECIAL STUDY:
   A.   Wetlands Special Study: Required wetland studies shall be conducted by a qualified wetlands biologist.
      1.   A map, of a scale no smaller than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200'), of the surveyed wetland boundary as determined by following the methods described in the approved federal "Wetland Delineation Manual" and applicable regional supplements.
      2.   The site plan for the proposed activity at the same scale as the wetland map, showing the extent of the proposed activity in relationship to the surveyed wetland.
      3.   A written analysis of the existing wetland type/classification including existing vegetation, soils, and hydrology (source of water in the system, relative water quality, seasonality of presence of water, if applicable). The existing wetland shall be classified according to section 11-3-2 of this title. The written analysis must also classify wetlands according to the "Washington State Wetland Rating System For Western Washington" (ecology publication #14-06-029, or as revised).
   B.   Landslide Hazard Special Study: Required landslide hazard studies shall be prepared by a professional engineer licensed by the state of Washington with expertise in geotechnical engineering.
      1.   A contour map of the proposed site, at a scale no smaller than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200'). The site and the extent of the critical landslide hazard area as determined by the city's landslide hazard map and the criteria in section 11-3-3 of this title shall be clearly delineated.
      2.   A discussion of surface and subsurface geologic conditions of the site.
      3.   Review of site history regarding landslides.
      4.   A description of how the proposed development will or will not impact each of the following on the subject area and adjoining property:
         a.   Slope stability;
         b.   Drainage;
         c.   Springs or seeps or any other surface water;
         d.   Existing vegetation.
      5.   Recommended surface water management controls during construction.
   C.   Critical Erosion Hazard Area Special Studies: Required critical erosion hazard studies shall be prepared by a professional engineer licensed by the state of Washington.
      1.   A map, of a scale no smaller than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200'), of the site and the extent of the critical erosion hazard area as determined by the city's erosion hazard map and the criteria in section 11-3-3 of this title.
      2.   Review site history regarding erosion.
      3.   Identification of surface water management, erosion, and sediment controls appropriate to the site and proposal.
   D.   Seismic Hazard Area Special Studies: Required critical seismic hazard studies shall be prepared by a professional engineer licensed by the state of Washington.
      1.   A map, of a scale no smaller than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200'), of the site and the extent of the seismic hazard area as determined by the city's seismic hazard map and the criteria in section 11-3-3 of this title.
      2.   Discussion of the potential impacts from the proposed development, and specific measures designed to mitigate any potential adverse impacts of the proposal.
   E.   Fish And Wildlife Habitat Conservation Area Special Studies:
      1.   Required fish and wildlife habitat conservation area studies shall be prepared by a qualified biologist with expertise in fish and wildlife habitats.
      2.   A map of a scale no smaller than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200'), of the site and the extent of the fish and wildlife habitat conservation area as determined by the city's priority habitat map and the criteria in section 11-3-4 of this title.
   F.   Aquifer Recharge Area Special Studies:
      1.   Required critical aquifer recharge area studies shall be prepared by a geologist or individual with experience preparing hydrogeologic assessments.
      2.   A map of a scale no smaller than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200'), of the site and the extent of the high significance aquifer recharge area as determined by the city's aquifer recharge map and the criteria in section 11-3-5 of this title. (Ord. 2016-985, 7-13-2016)
