Below <br />you will find responses to each of the commenters. Please let us know if you have any questions. <br /> <br />Colville Confederated Tribes – Aren Orsen <br />Response: The Suncadia resort property was extensively surveyed for cultural and historic sites during <br />the environmental impact process culminating in the identification of sites as well as adoption of <br />appropriate mitigation measures as set forth in Conditions of Approval C-21 – C-23 of Exhibit F to the <br />Development Agreement with Kittitas County. Central Washington Anthropological Survey (CWAS) has <br />been retained by Suncadia to perform archaeological subsurface testing within the 150-foot buffer of <br />site 45KT1363. Subsurface testing will be completed by CWAS and recorded with the Department of <br />Archaeology and Historic Preservation prior to any disturbance to the site buffer. Anticipated date of <br />report completion is by November 30, 2021. There are no development plans within the defined border <br />of site 45KT1363. Suncadia is very sensitive to cultural resources and intend to preserve, protect, and <br />follow all applicable rules and regulations. <br /> <br />Washington State Department of Health Office of Drinking Water – Russell Mau <br />Response: The applicant will adhere to all applicable regulations as outlined in the Development <br />Agreement. Suncadia Water Company LLC has recently updated their Water Facilities Inventory (June <br />2021) showing 992 active connections of the 1,501 allowed connections. Suncadia resort holds enough <br />water rights that are sufficient for full build-out of the resort. Work is ongoing to calculate what a <br />present infrastructure capacity is for current and future development. <br /> <br />Table W-1 on the following page reflects the number of platted lots within the last three years at <br />Suncadia that were not part of the 992 WFI calculation. <br /> <br />Index #29
