Des Moines Shoreline Master Program removal or treatment of toxic materials. Restoration does not imply a requirement for returning the shoreline area to aboriginal or pre-European settlement conditions. Revetment 4 . A sloped wall constructed of riprap or other suitable material placed on stream banks or other shorelines to retard bank erosion and minimize lateral stream movement. Riprap 2 . A layer, facing or protective mound of stones randomly placed to prevent erosion, scour or sloughing of a structure or embankment; also, the stone so used. SMP 1 . Shoreline Master Program. The comprehensive use plan for shorelines of the state, and the use regulations together with maps, diagrams, charts, or other descriptive material and text, a statement of desired goals, and standards developed in accordance with the policies enunciated in RCW 90.58.020. SMA 1 . Shoreline Management Act. Seismic hazard area 3 . Those areas subject to severe risk of earthquake damage as a result of seismically induced settlement or soil liquefaction. These conditions occur in areas underlain by cohesionless soils of low density usually in association with a shallow ground water table. Known seismic hazard areas are mapped in the “King County Sensitive Areas Map Folio.” Shall 1 . A mandate; the action must be done. Shor elands 1 . Also referred to as “shoreland areas,” meaning those lands extending landward for two hundred feet in all directions as measured on a horizontal plane from the ordinary high water mark; floodways and contiguous floodplain areas landward two hundred feet from such floodways; and all wetlands and river deltas associated with the streams, lakes, and tidal waters which are subject to the provisions of this chapter; the same to be designated as to location by the department of ecology. Shoreline administrator 1 . The shoreline administrator shall be the City Manager or his or her designee and is responsible for administering the Des Moines SMP. Shoreline jurisdiction 1 . All “shorelines of the state” and “shorelands” as defined in the Des Moines SMP and RCW 90.58.030. Shoreline master program 1 (SMP). The comprehensive use plan for a described area, and the use regulations together with maps, diagrams, charts, or other descriptive material and text, a statement of desired goals, and standards developed in accordance with the policies enunciated in RCW 90.58.020. Shoreline modifications 1 . Those actions that modify the physical configuration or qualities of the shoreline area, usually through the construction of a physical element such as a dike, breakwater, pier, weir, dredged basin, fill, bulkhead, or other shoreline structure. They can include other actions, such as clearing, grading, or application of chemicals. KEY: 1. RCW or WAC 2. 1988 SMP Glossary 3. City Zoning Code 4.

Des Moines Shoreline Master Program Shorelines 1 . All of the water areas of the state, including reservoirs, and their associated shorelands, together with the lands underlying them; except (i) shorelines of statewide significance; (ii) shorelines on segments of streams upstream of a point where the mean annual flow is twenty cubic feet per second or less and the wetlands associated with such upstream segments; and (iii) shorelines on lakes less than twenty acres in size and wetlands associated with such small lakes. Shorelines of Statewide Significance 2 . Those areas of Puget Sound in the City of Des Moines lying seaward from the line of extreme low tide. Shor elines of the state 1 . The total of all “shorelines” and “shorelines of statewide significance” within the City of Des Moines. Should 1 . Indicates the particular action is required unless there is a demonstrated, compelling reason, based on policy of the SMA and the Des Moines SMP, against taking the action. Significant vegetation removal 1 . The removal or alteration of trees, shrubs, and/or ground cover by clearing, grading, cutting, burning, chemical means, or other activity that causes significant ecological impacts to functions provided by such vegetation. The removal of invasive or noxious weeds does not constitute significant vegetation removal. Tree pruning, not including tree topping where it does not affect ecological functions, does not constitute significant vegetation removal. Special environmental study 3 . A technical report prepared by a qualified professional. Special environmental studies are intended to evaluate past and present environmental conditions of certain properties, potential environmental impacts associated with certain development proposals, and as appropriate, recommend mitigation measures that can be expected to lessen the severity of identified adverse environmental impacts. The content and scope of required special environmental studies shall be as specified by the community development director. Stream corridor 3 . A perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral stream including its channel bottom, lower and upper banks, area beyond the top of the upper bank which influences the stream and is influenced by the presence of water, and the vegetation inhabiting this area. This area is known as the “riparian zone” which is an area transitional between aquatic and terrestrial (upland) ecosystems having distinct vegetation and soil characteristics. Riparian zones are most commonly recognized by bottomland, flood plain, and streambank vegetation. In developed watersheds, portions of the stream corridor may currently be in a partially culverted or channelized condition by artificial conveyance systems. Streambed 2 . The channel of a river or other watercourse and adjacent land areas that are inundated with flood waters during a 100-year flood. Structure 1 . A permanent or temporary edifice or building, or any piece of work artificially built or composed of parts joined together in some definite manner, whether installed on, above, or below the surface of the ground or water, except for vessels.
