<br /> <br />Exhibit D SMP Update | Comment Matrix Page 2 of 15 <br />through consultation with affected Tribes and DAHP. Nation, and Department of <br />Ecology. As such, staff <br />recommends no change to this <br />section. <br />17.B.05.010(B)(1)(c)(iii) Aren Orsen, <br />Confederated Tribes of <br />the Colville <br />Reservation <br />1/5/2021 Section 17.B.05.010(B)(1)(c)(iii) states that a survey <br />will be required if “…both DAHP and the affected <br />Native American tribe request that an archaeological <br />survey be completed due to a professional <br />archaeologist’s determination that the project area <br />is in an area that is at high-risk for the presence of <br />archaeological resources…” We object to the <br />requirement that the completion of a survey is <br />requisite on the concurrence of DAHP and affected <br />Tribes regarding the potential risk to cultural <br />resources in a project area. The CCT does not require <br />DAHP’s concurrence to establish the validity of its <br />knowledge regarding a project area’s potential to <br />contain cultural resources. <br />Section 17B.05.010 Cultural, <br />Archaeological and historical <br />resources was part of a 2018 <br />settlement agreement between <br />Kittitas County, Confederated <br />Tribes and Bands of the Yakama <br />Nation, and Department of <br />Ecology. As such, staff <br />recommends no change to this <br />section. <br />17B.01.050 Elizabeth Torrey, <br />WDFW <br />1/5/2021 WDFW would like to emphasize our interest in <br />continued involvement regarding SMP and CAO <br />updates. We have technical expertise and <br />jurisdiction over certain Critical Areas, as well as <br />jurisdiction over hydraulic projects within Shoreline <br />environments which require a Hydraulic Projects <br />Approval (HPA) permit. Early coordination is <br />requested such that discussions may be held prior to <br />updates being released for SEPA review. <br />Staff acknowledges WDFW’s <br />interest in the SMP and CAO <br />updates, and will continue to <br />coordinate with the agency on <br />future updates. <br />17B.02 Definitions Elizabeth Torrey, <br />WDFW <br />1/5/2021 Add to section: <br />Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA): A construction <br />permit issued by the Washington Department of Fish <br />and Wildlife for work that will use, divert, obstruct, <br />HPA is referenced several times <br />through the SMP, but the existing <br />SMP does not define what an <br />HPA is. Therefore, staff
