Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the project LUA23-000300, ECF located at 1404 SW

area the Duwamish Tribe considers culturally significant and has a high probability to have
unknown archaeological deposits. The project location is within about a half mile of one of our
ancestral village sites and as well as a previous survey. The DAHP WISAARD predictive model
indicates that a survey is highly advised with a very high risk for encountering cultural resources.
The borelogs from the PanGEO geotechnical report indicates alluvium with organic layers and shell
fragments below fill. Alluvium and organic layers are sediments that have potential for precontact
cultural materials. We request that if any archaeological work or monitoring is performed, we
would like notification. Cultural and archaeological resources are non-renewable and are best
discovered prior to ground disturbance. The Tribe would also like the opportunity to be present if
or when an archaeologist is on site in the event that an artifact or cultural resource is
encountered. In addition, the Tribe strongly recommends that only native vegetation be used for
any proposed landscaping and that wetland and stream buffers are maintained to enhance native
avian life and native pollinators as well as to mitigate seasonal urban flooding.
