Wetland Mitigation Monitoring
Boeing Company
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. conducted a five-year monitoring program for the wetland mitigation associated with the Boeing Everett Expansion/Extension. The project involved collection of data relating to function of the wetland mitigation, maintenance of the wetland and buffer mitigation areas, and preparation of annual reports. We assisted Boeing in complying with approved mitigation plans for the City of Everett and Snohomish County, providing environmental consulting regarding wetland functions, construction and engineering of wetlands, and environmental protection.

Wetland and Wildlife Assessment
2003 Street of Dreams
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. provided the wetland delineation for the 2003 Street of Dreams in Issaquah. The wetlands were assessed by plant community type, hydrology, and functional value. The wetlands were classified and wetland buffers were established according to King County regulations. We conducted wildlife studies in which we evaluated wildlife use, identified significant habitat areas, and determined potential effects of the development on species of concern. The development was designed to minimize impact to the ecosystem by building outside of sensitive areas and sensitive area buffers.

Community Water System
Pierce County, Department of Community & Economic Development
The community surrounding Lake Kapowsin was in need of a centralized water system, due to high levels of arsenic in the well water. J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. assisted in the planning of a water system to draw water from the creek-fed lake and distribute it to the local residences. Wetland delineation and assessment was needed to identify and minimize the impacts to the lake, and we provided Pierce County with a wetland mitigation design and monitoring. Mitigation for wetland and buffer impacts associated with construction included restoration of the original soil grade and installation of native wetland plant species.

Stream Study
Skyway Development
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. provided technical information and classification for an unnamed tributary to Lake Washington. A King County Level I stream study was conducted, with portions of a Level III stream study included. The project involved a general survey of fish habitat and utilization, wildlife habitat and utilization, invertebrates, riparian zone vegetation and land uses, riparian soils, channel morphology, bank stability, and adjacent wetlands. A habitat map was prepared, which indicated habitat types, spawning areas by species, and locations of habitat features such as large woody debris in the stream channel or riparian zone.

Environmental Management
US Navy
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. provided environmental consulting to the US Navy, assisting in environmental protection and environmental safety for excavation of a contaminated site at the Everett Base. We prepared the required plans for the excavation work, including a Site Work Plan, Soils Management Plan, Treatment & Disposal Plan, Health & Safety Plan, Environmental Protection Plan, and Sampling and Analysis Plan. We performed onsite environmental monitoring during excavation activities.

Biological Assessment
National Benevolent Association
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. prepared a Biological Assessment to determine if the proposed project would affect endangered or listed species. The level of use by bald eagles, marbled murrelets, and bull trout in the project area was evaluated, as were the potential effects on the primary food stocks, prey species, and foraging areas for these species. Possible impacts to these species from project construction, increased human activity, and increased noise levels were determined, in compliance with Section 7(a) of the Endangered Species Act.

Hydrology Study
Bristol Properties, LLC
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. conducted a two-year hydrology study for Bristol Properties, LLC, to determine the extent of wetlands that might affect potential development. The property had been farmed for many years, and has historically been subject to repeated flooding by the Green River. The presence of hydric soil indicators did not reflect the current hydrologic conditions. These factors made a hydrologic investigation necessary. On-site wells were installed and monitored, and water table fluctuations were recorded. Based on the data collected, we were able to accurately delineate the wetland boundaries and obtain Corps of Engineers approval for the final wetland delineation.

Wetland Assessment, Delineation, and Mitigation, Stream and Wildlife Studies
Native American Tribes in Washington and Alaska
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. has worked with Native American tribes on numerous occasions in association tribal housing programs and an oil spill response facility. These projects have involved delineation and assessment of wetlands on properties considered for purchase or development, preparation of stream and wildlife studies, and design of wetland mitigation when necessary. We have provided expertise and assistance with Corps of Engineers and NEPA permitting.

Roadside Restoration
City of Mill Creek
J. S. Jones and Associates, Inc. provided roadside restoration for the City of Mill Creek. Native plant species were installed to minimize erosion, prevent the spread of invasive plant species along the road system, and provide an attractive setting. We obtained and installed the plant materials, providing great savings to the city, and performed traffic management during installation.
