Washington is the Franklin County seat on the Missouri River west of St. Louis, a significant German-heritage river community where land clearing demand centers on county seat commercial development, residential growth on the rolling Missouri River bluff terrain, and the agricultural land management of this productive Missouri River valley farming county. Franklin County's terrain at Washington has the rolling Missouri River bluff loess soils and upland Ozark character, and Missouri DNR NPDES permit coverage is required for disturbances exceeding one acre.
Bush honeysuckle has invaded the woodland understory extensively in the Washington area's Missouri River bluff landscape, and the Missouri River bottomland has cottonwood, silver maple, and native riparian vegetation with Chinese privet in some bottomland margins. Multiflora rose and Japanese honeysuckle are established in fence lines and woodland edges throughout Franklin County.
Forestry mulching is appropriate for Washington's Franklin County Missouri River terrain, handling bottomland brush management and upland residential and agricultural clearing. The Missouri River corridor benefits from mulching's compatibility with Army Corps of Engineers and Missouri DNR riparian buffer guidelines.
Washington lot clearing in Franklin County requires Missouri DNR NPDES permit coverage for disturbances over one acre, with Missouri River floodplain requiring Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 and Missouri DNR review for fill and grading. Franklin County secondary roads require access permits for rural parcels.
Washington's established residential areas and Franklin County farms have mature bur oaks, American elms, cottonwoods, and shagbark hickories that periodically require professional removal when Missouri River flooding or storm damage creates safety hazards in this historic Missouri River valley community.
