Task Order 02 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 5 Task 5 — National Historic Ptwation Act: Section 106 Coordination: ESA will prepare eonwpondenoe for County signature to define the Area of Potential Effects (APE) and initiate Section 106 consultation for the project. The C my will finalize the correspondence and submit it to WSDOT; WSDOT will send the cormsponde nce to Consulting Parties which will begin a 30 -day comment period. ESA will conduct background research using Washington State Depattnu tt of Historic Preservation (DAHP) database, other online sources, and our own archives to identify recorded and potential archaeological and historic resources in and around the project APE_ ESA will also review available environmental and geological backgFnund infarmation. A preliminary review ofthe DAHP database indicates that cultural resources (a historic irrigation canal) may he present within the project APE. Once the 30 -day comment period has elapsed, ESA will conduct a surface and subsurface survey of the APE, outside of the paved road. area. Subsurface survey will be conducted using up to 16 band -dug shovel probes (4 probes at each culvert kmuon) advanced to a range of depths; depth of pmW will be relative to the soil type and the expected disturbance. Spoils will be screened through V44ch mesh. Pnnbc locations will be ro =ded using GPS. Prehistario and historic artifacts (if encountered) will be described andpi otographed in the field, and returned to the find location; no artifacts will be collected. ESA will summarize the findings of our wotic in a Technical Report thd meets WSDOT and Stage historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) standards. The report will also mdhAc a Historic Property -Inventory for the irrigation canal including a National Register eligibility recommendation. ESA will prepare a draft Cultural Resources Technical Report for review by the County. After County review ESA will subnut a draft for review by WSDOT. After WSDOT review, ESA will incorporate comments and submct a revised draft for Consulting Party review; this will be a 30 day comment period Following receiptof comments from Consulting Parties, ESA will prepare a final draft and submit hard copm to the County. The County will be responsible for sending the hard copies to WSDOT for t1wir distribution. lam: C=Ity Draft (electronic), WSDOT Draft (electronic), Consulting Patty Draft (electronic), and final Cdtival Resources Technical Report (hard copies and CD). WSDOT will lead all Section 106 consultuton. • Field schedule ie depmdemon the Cmmty's submittal ofAPE cmupandco to WSDOT; no field work can be conducted yn til the 30 -tiny comment period has elapsed. � The County will provide coptes of any geotechnical report or logs for review, if available. A utility locate twist be performed prior to subsurface survey. ESA will coordinate with utility Notiftcattou Center to schedule the utility locate. ESA assumes that the project area can be readily accessed by the utility locators, and will not require meeting locators on-tte. If cultural resources besides the historic irrigation canal are identified, documentation of flee resources may require a task order amendment The County will provide a single set of consolidated review comments on the draft Technical Report.
