review process, if applicable), and requests an archaeological survey be completed due to the presence of one or more of the following risk-factors: ▪ Documented historic feature(s) on the property or located within one quarter (1/4) mile from the project area; ▪ Previous positive archaeological survey results from a survey on the property or within one quarter (1/4) mile from the project area; or ▪ A tribally-recorded site located within one quarter (1/4) mile of the project area. iii. DAHP and an affected Native American tribe timely comment through the above cultural resources review process (or concurrent permitting or environmental review process, if applicable), and both DAHP and the affected Native American tribe request that an archaeological survey be completed due to a professional archaeologist’s determination that the project area is in an area that is at high- risk for the presence of archaeological resources (e.g. in an area with high-risk soil deposit types such as historic high-energy soil deposits, or soils with multiple depositional contexts). iv. The County determines that an archaeological survey is otherwise warranted. d. Archaeological Survey & Reporting Standards. Archaeological surveys shall be completed by a professional archaeologist. Archaeological survey reports shall conform to DAHP’s then-current reporting standards. Both DAHP and affected Native American tribes shall receive copies of completed archaeological survey reports, and have a reasonable opportunity (in no case less than fifteen days) to comment on their sufficiency before such reports shall be considered final. Final archaeological survey reports shall be filed with DAHP prior to the County’s issuance of a permit, exemption, or other approval where the proposed project is not exempt under KCC 17B.05.010(B)(1)(a)*. e. Monitoring Alternative. Despite the requirements of KCC 17B.05.010(B)(1)(c)*, above, an archaeological survey shall not be required where the project proponent, the County, DAHP, and any affected Native American tribes, all approve a written plan for on-site project monitoring by a professional archaeologist throughout all project phases that include ground-disturbing work. This monitoring plan shall be drafted by a professional archaeologist at the applicant’s expense. f. Project Modification Alternative. Despite the requirements of KCC 17B.05.010(B)(1)(c)*, above, an archaeological survey shall not be required where the project is modified so that it no longer triggers the risk factor(s) under KCC 17B.05.010(B)(1)(c)* that would have resulted in the need for an archeological survey under these regulations. 2. Inadvertent Discoveries. Developers and property owners shall immediately stop work and notify the local government, DAHP, and affected Native American tribes if archaeological resources are discovered. Construction may recommence pursuant to RCW 27.44.040, RCW 27.53.040 and WAC 25-48-030. A notification stating this requirement shall be included on County shoreline permits, exemptions, and other project approval documents. 3. Resource Management. If signicant significant cultural, archaeological, or historic resources, are identified in the project area, the project proponent shall engage a professional archaeologist (or a historic preservation professional, where appropriate) to prepare a resource management plan.
