The project area is located within one quarter (1/4) mile from either a protected <br />Native American pre-contact site recorded with DAHP, or a protected historic <br />site that is listed or eligible, or potentially eligible and unevaluated , in the <br />DAHP inventory. <br /> <br />ii. DAHP or an affected Native American t ribe timely comments through the <br />above cultural resources review process (or concurrent permitting or <br />environmental review process, if applicable), and requests an archaeological <br />survey be completed due to the presence of one or more of the following risk- <br />factors: <br /> Documented historic feature(s) on the property or located within one <br />quarter (1/4) mile from the project area; <br /> Previous positive archaeological survey results from a survey on the <br />property or within one quarter (1/4) mile from the project area; or <br /> A tribally-recorded site located within one quarter (1/4) mile of the <br />project area. <br /> <br />iii. DAHP and an affected Native American tribe timely comment through the <br />above cultural resources review process (or concurrent permitting or <br />environmental review process, if applicable), and both DAHP and the affected <br />Native American tribe request that an archaeological survey be completed due <br />to a professional archaeologist’s determination that the project area is in an area <br />that is at high-risk for the presence of archaeological resources (e.g. in an area <br />with high-risk soil deposit types such as historic high-energy soil deposits, or <br />soils with multiple depositional contexts). <br /> <br />iv. The County determines that an archaeological survey is otherwise warranted. <br /> <br />d. Archaeological Survey & Reporting Standards. Archaeological surveys shall be <br />completed by a professional archaeologist . Archaeological survey reports shall <br />conform to DAHP’s then-current reporting standards.1 Both DAHP and affected <br />Native American tribes shall receive copies of completed archaeological survey <br />reports, and have a reasonable opportunity (in no case less than fifteen days) to <br />comment on t heir sufficiency before such reports shall be considered final. Final <br />archaeological survey reports shall be filed with DAHP prior to the County’s issuance <br />of a permit, exemption, or other approval where the proposed project is not exempt <br />under Section 5.1(B)(1)(a). <br /> <br /> <br />1 See Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, Washington State Standards for <br />Cultural Resource Reporting (February 2, 2017), available at <br />http://www.dahp.wa.gov/sites/default/files/CR%20Update%20February%202017.pdf (last visited May 23, 2017).
