Close, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the project to retrofit residential streets by installing porous concrete sidewalks, new stormwater pipes and structures, and water quality treatment facilities located along SE 172nd St from 122nd Ave SE to 127th Ave SE; along 122nd Ave SE, 123rd Ave SE, 124th Ave SE and 125th Ave SE from SE 172nd St to SE 169th Pl. Based on the information provided and our understanding of the project and its APE, the Duwamish Tribe recommends an inadvertent discovery plan (IDP). The DAHP WISAARD predictive model indicates that a survey is contingent upon project parameters with a moderately low risk for encountering cultural resources. In addition, the Tribe strongly recommends that only native vegetation be used for any proposed landscaping to enhance and maintain fish habitat, native avian life and native pollinators as well as to mitigate seasonal urban flooding. The Duwamish Tribe wishes you success in the project to help restore water quality to the City and to Soos Creek, the Green River and the Sound, all culturally important to the Duwamish Tribe and other tribes within the area. Thank you, Nancy A Sackman Duwamish Tribe Cultural Preservation Mobile – 206 856 2564 Email – preservationdept@duwamishtribe.org DocuSign Envelope ID: 01C814B1-0BBA-4C1D-A80D-C3E897DA2B57
