Task Order 02 Attachment I Page 4 of 5 • Archaeological construction monitoring is not included in this task if requested, ESA will provide a task order supplement for construction monitoring. Task 6— Wetland & Stream Report ESA will prepare a wetland and stream report which satisfies requirements for submittal to the USACE and 1{ittitas County Community Development Services. The report will include a detailed project description; description of the site; wetland size, classification and ratings (if wetlands are present); stream classification and ratings, regulatory implications, and an assessment of impacts to both streams and wetlands (if applicable). ESA will prepare a draft wetland and stream report for review by the County. After County review, ESA will provide a final report. Deliverables: County draft (electronic) and final wetland and stream report (hard copy)_ Assumptions: As the project involves replacement of fes -barrier culverts and that impacts to regulated wetlands are unlikely, it is assumed that no compensatory wetland or stream mitigation will be required. if mitigation work is required, ESA would be happy to provide a task order supplement if project design assistance is requested. • The County will provide a single set of consolidated review comments on the draft Wetland and Stream Report. Task 7 —NEPA Based upon our understanding of the proposed project, ESA assumes that the project will require an Environmental Classification Summary (ECS) Form. The ECS is the NEPA document that WSDOT uses for projects that are categorized as Documented Categorical Exclusions (DCEs)_ ESA shall prepare a WSDOT ECS Form, which will be completed per the guidance and requirements in WSDOT Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) Manual in effect at the time a notice to proceed is received by the project. ESA will complete the ECS form using information from the County and other supporting information. The BA, cultural resources technical memorandum, and wetland and stream reportwill be appended to the ECS form, as necessary. ESA will prepare a draft ECS form for review by the County. After County review, ESA will prepare a revised draft form for submittal to WSDOT. After WSDOTIFHWA review, ESA will prepare a final ECS form Deliverables: County draft (electronic), revised draft (electronic), and final ECS form (hard copy). Assumptions: • We assume that the project will qualify for a categorical exclusion under NEPA. If, during the preliminary design process it is determined that the environmental impacts are such that the project would not qualify for a categorical exclusion, an amendment to the scope of work may be required. • Based on the understanding and initial evaluation of the project area, it is assumed that separate technical memoranda will not be required for environmental justice, hazardous materials, Section 4(f)16(f) lands, visual resources, air quality, noise, air quality, or traffic. These topics will be covered within the WSDOT ECS forth, without separate documentation. If, during completion of the project design, it becomes apparent that
