Re: Archaeology – Monitoring Requested
Dear Ian Harris:
Thank you for contacting the Washington State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and providing documentation
regarding the above referenced project. As a result of our review, our professional opinion is
that the project area has the potential to contain archaeological resources. The project area is
located in close proximity to archaeological sites 45KI1009 and 45KI1010. Therefore, we
recommend professional archaeological monitoring of all ground disturbing activities.
We also recommend consultation with the affected tribes and would appreciate receiving any
correspondence or comments from the tribes or other parties concerning cultural resource
issues that you receive.
These comments are based on the information available at the time of this review. Should
additional information become available, our assessment may be revised.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project and we look forward to receiving the
monitoring report. Please ensure that the DAHP Project Number (a.k.a. Project Tracking Code)
is shared with any hired cultural resource consultants and is attached to any communications or
submitted reports. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Tamela Smart, M.A.
Local Government Archaeologist
