Deliverables 1. Three copies of a draft Section 106 Report will be prepared to describe cultural resources identified in the project area to meet state and federal standards for reporting as outlined in the guidelines provided by the OAHP. The report will include summary background information appropriate to a cultural resources assessment of the project area, including environment, previous cultural resources studies, ethnography/ethno history, and history. A discussion of agency and Tribal consultation, methodology, the results of the investigation, and a map of located archaeological sites will be provided. Recommendations will also be extended to any cultural resources that may be significant. Monitoring of construction excavation recommendations may also be included. The historic structures inventory form and/or archaeological site inventory form will be attached to the report as an appendix. 2. Three copies of a revised draft Section 106 report incorporating County comments. 3. Three copies of a final Section 106 report incorporating Corp comments. Task SEPA Checklist: This project is assumed to be SEPA exempt under the repair and maintenance provisions of the WAC. Assumptions: • The project will not require ROW acquisition or impact wetlands. Deliverables: • SEPA exemption letter GEOTECHNICAL STUDY PanGEO will perform the geotechnical study. Existing Information Review — Review existing, readily available geologic and geotechnical information in general vicinity of the project area. Field Exploration & Lab Testing — Perform a visual site reconnaissance and mark locations for two test borings and arrange one -call utility locating. Subcontract drill rig and crew and perform two test borings not to exceed 60 feet deep each. Perform index lab testing on select samples collected from the test borings for sample description and material property identification. Engineering & Reporting — Based on the information obtained from the field explorations and lab testing, prepare geotechnical engineering recommendations for new structure support including driven piles and spread footing options. Provide estimates of nominal strength and service bearing resistance for new or replacement foundations in general accordance with AASHTO LRFD methodology. Provide wall backfill design parameters for lateral earth pressures. Provide construction considerations. Prepare draft and final reports containing results and conclusions of the reconnaissance and engineering analyses. Assumptions: Traffic control and flagging for drilling of test borings to be provided by Kittitas County. Page 4
