Deliverables <br />1. Three copies of a draft SPIF for review by County with accompanying draft special provisions if <br />required. <br />2. Three copies of a draft SPIF, incorporating the County's comments, for submittal to Corp of <br />Engineers. <br />3. Three copies of a revised draft SPIF, incorporating comments by Corp of Engineers. <br />Permits (optional) <br />Widener will assemble and organizing all necessary environmental permit applications to a standard <br />acceptable by the permitting agencies if the WDFW and the Corp assume jurisdiction over the canal. <br />Anticipated permits include the following. <br />1. JARPA <br />2. USACE Section 404 Permit <br />3. WDFW Hydraulic Project Approval <br />Permit applications shall include all requested information, such as application forms, all necessary permit <br />drawings, an attachment describing project location, project purpose and need, alternatives considered, <br />and a summary of project impacts. Widener shall also provide a draft transmittal letter for submittal of the <br />application by the County. Draft applications, including supporting information, shall be submitted to the <br />County for review and comment. Revised permit applications shall be provided to the County for signature <br />and submittal to permitting agencies. The Consultant shall perform the necessary coordination to obtain <br />the permits. <br />Section 106 Report (Cultural and Historic Resources) <br />This work would include the preparation of the Section 106 Report in accordance with the State Historic <br />Preservation Office standards and guidelines. The work will include the following subtasks. <br />1. Pertinent literature on the archaeology, ethnography, and history of the project area will be <br />reviewed to determine the existence of archaeological sites and to refine the probability of <br />archaeological resources and traditional cultural places in the project areas. <br />2. The Consultant will maintain contact with the local tribes for any information on historic Indian use <br />of the project area. <br />3. A systematic field reconnaissance will be conducted to identify previously recorded and/or <br />unrecorded archaeological sites for the proposed project where ground -disturbing activities are <br />expected to take place. Field reconnaissance will consist of the traverse of pedestrian transects at <br />varying intervals, depending on terrain throughout the proposed project area. Shovel probes <br />(digging a hole with a shovel) will be excavated, as deep as feasible, and in areas expected to <br />have a high probability for cultural resources. Shovel probes will be augmented through auger <br />probes to explore the deepest possible deposits. Shovel probes will be screened in highly <br />probable areas and in soil matrixes too dense to identify small chipping debris. <br />4. All new sites will be mapped, photographed, and recorded on Washington State Archeological <br />Inventory forms and submitted to the state Office of Archeological and Historic Preservation <br />(OAHP) for Smithsonian numbers. Every effort will be made to include Tribal cultural resources <br />personnel in assisting the field effort. Rights -of -entry will be provided by the County. <br />Page 3 <br />
