Executive Summary
The project is being assessed regarding the replacement of sanitary sewer lines and the update
of the access road and erosional support along the project area (Figure 2). This project must
comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing
regulations (36 CFR 800). This document reports the results of the Cultural Resources Assessment.
The results of previous field work suggest that there is potential for encountering intact historic or
pre-contact archaeological resources in the project area. Stantec archaeologists conducted
field work in the project area in response to the need for cultural compliance. Survey and testing
was conducted on July 11 and 12, 2017. Field crew consisted of Justin Junge, MS (Stantec) and
Nathan Jereb, BA (Stantec). Junge meets the Secretary of Interior Professional Qualifications
Standards for Archaeology.
No historic or pre-contact cultural material was identified within the project area. Previous
manipulation of the landscape for the construction of the sewer lines in 1965 and erosional
control and stream modification has disturbed or displaced any potential cultural material in the
project area. Based on this information, no further archaeological work is required within the
current project area. Should the project area be adjusted, specifically on the terraces above
the current slope, then further testing is recommended.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Replacement Project includes the segment from
near the intersection of Grant Avenue South and South 18th Street to near I-405 running through
a small canyon created by Thunder Hills Creek (Figure 1). Thunder Hills Creek is located in a
steep, narrow ravine that is incised from stream flows. The Thunder Hills Sanitary Sewer Interceptor
traverses along and crosses under Thunder Hills Creek within this ravine. A maintenance road
and trails for access to the sewer main are also located along the creek alignment.
The existing sewer main was originally constructed in 1965 and consists of 10-inch, 12-inch and
18-inch concrete, asbestos cement, and ductile iron pipe. In 2014 an inspection was conducted
to determine the condition of the existing line. Grease buildup, pipe joints that had separated
over time, broken lip sections, corrosion of cast iron fittings, concrete lining spalling, heavy scale
deposits, minor root intrusion, and a sag in one portion of the line were found as a result of the
line inspection. In addition, the existing line was not constructed with adequate manholes for
maintenance.
Due to the deterioration of the sewer inceptor and impacts to the line and access road from
erosion and slope sloughing, as well as inadequate manhole access, the City has proposed to
make improvements to approximately 2,050 lineal feet of sewer main, approximately 35,000
square feet of access road and path, and stabilize slopes to help alleviate potential, future
erosion issues (Figure 2).
The project must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and its
implementing regulations (36 CFR 800). This document reports the results of the Cultural
Resources Assessment conducted in the project area on July 11 and 12, 2017.

2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL SETTING
The project area is located in the Puget Sound region that was shaped by geomorphic and
climatic processes that has made the region a key location of early Native Americans
approximately 10,000 years ago. Evidence of these changes is visible in the character and
distribution of archaeological sites, artifacts, and other remnants of their occupation. The
distribution of known archaeological resources, however, has been influenced by
geomorphological processes, and the history of archaeological research in the region. The
present-day environmental conditions, and existing knowledge regarding pre-contact and
historic Duwamish people as well as early Euro-American settlers provide a context for and
helped to shape the expectations of the pedestrian survey and the investigations described in
this report.
2.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY
The project area is situated in the Puget Trough physiographic province (Franklin and Dyrness
1988). The local topography surrounding the project area was shaped by glaciers during the
Vashon Stage of the Late Wisconsin glaciation which extended up to 85 miles south of Seattle to
Centralia. Resulting glacial lakes deposited silt and clay which was reworked into glacial till
(Galster and Laprade 1991). As glaciers receded, a thick layer of Pleistocene glacial outwash
underlying Holocene sediments across much of the Puget Sound region remained and shaped
the distinctive north/south trending hills and valleys in the Puget Trough (Dragovich et al. 1994).
The earliest geologic formations in the project area are Eocene-age sandstone, siltstone, and
shale outcrops along with igneous sills in the hills. The Renton Formation consists of Eocene era
sandstones, siltstones, conglomerates and coal deposited in a deltaic environment (Dragovich
et al. 2002). Post-glacial Holocene deposits are colluvium below hillslopes and Green River and
Cedar River alluvium. Other local Holocene deposits are marshes and peat along the local river
bottoms.
Present-day soils recorded within the boundaries of the project area consist of three defined
sediment loads that include: Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam with a 15-30% slope, Alderwood
Gravelly Sandy Loam with an 8-15% slope, and Alderwood and Kitsap Soils (NCRS 2017).
Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam with a 15-30% slope comprises the majority of the project area
with a small section of Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam with an 8-15% slope near the
intersection of South 18 Street and Grant Avenue South. A small section of Alderwood and Kitsap
Soils is located at the north end of the project area next to I-405.
Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam with a 15-30% slope (NCRS 2017) is comprised of glacial drift
and/or glacial outwash over dense glaciomarine deposits. The typical profile includes 0 to 7
inches below surface of gravelly sandy loam, followed by very gravelly sandy loam. Alderwood
Gravelly Sandy Loam with an 8-15% slope (NCRS 2017) is comprised of glacial drift and/or glacial
outwash over dense glaciomarine deposits. The typical profile includes 0 to 7 inches below

surface of gravelly sandy loam, followed by very gravelly sandy loam. Alderwood and Kitsap
Soils (NCRS 2017) are comprised of basalt till with some volcanic ash. The typical profile includes
0 to 12 inches below surface of gravelly ashy sandy loam, followed by very gravelly sandy loam.
2.2 CULTURAL SETTING
In 2017, Stantec archaeologists reviewed ethnographic sources, reviewed hard copies of reports
and records from the Washington State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) that is maintained by
the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) , searched
online databases, including the online Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database called
the Washington Information System for Architectural and Archaeological Records Data
(WISAARD), and other archives, and reviewed previous cultural resource investigation reports,
historical maps, aerial imagery, and other published sources from the region to establish the pre-
contact and historical framework for the Property. The results of these background investigations
are presented in the following sections to provide context for the interpretation and evaluation
of cultural resources identified.
2.2.1 Regional Pre-contact Culture History
Prior to the retreating glaciers in the region, little to no archaeological evidence has been
identified in the Puget Sound region before 12,000 years ago (Ames and Maschner 1999; Carlson
1990). Late Pleistocene and early Holocene occupations indicate four primary cultural traditions
in the Northwest Coast. These include the Fluted Point Tradition, Stemmed Point Tradition, Pebble
Tool Tradition, and Microblade Tradition (for full descriptions see Ames and Maschner 1999;
Carlson 1990). During this period, there is little evidence for semi-permanent village occupation,
but evidence indicates that broad subsistence patterns were present within and between each
tradition and that variations in technology may indicate various migrations or adaptations to
changing environments or other pressures. During the middle to late Holocene, archaeological
data indicate that the patterns of settlement and subsistence practices described by early
ethnographers in the region were well established (Suttles and Lane 1990).
2.2.2 Ethnographic Setting
The project area is located in the traditional territories of the Duwamish people (Suttles and Lane
1990). The Duwamish people spoke a Southern Luchootseed dialect of the Central Salish
Lushootseed group of the Salish Language Family (Thompson and Kinkade 1990). The Duwamish
occupied winter villages comprised of cedar plank houses and seasonally harvested
anadromous fish, shellfish, and upland plants and game (Suttles and Lane 1990).
Euroamerican exploration and settlement of the Puget Sound region began in the 1800s and
increasing tensions between non-native settlers and native peoples led to negotiation of the
Elliot Treaty of 1855 between the US government and the Duwamish. This treaty assigned the
Duwamish people to the Port Madison Reservation on the Kitsap Peninsula which was part of the
Suquamish traditional territory (Ruby and Brown 1986). Between the relocation of the Duwamish

people in 1855 and the winter of 1856, many of the Duwamish people returned to their
traditional territory or moved to the Muckleshoot Reservation (Ruby and Brown 1986).
2.2.3 Previous Archaeological Investigations and Resources
On July 13 2017, a Stantec archaeologist (Justin Junge, MS) conducted a search of the records
held at the Washington State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Descriptions of previous
archaeological investigations and resources recorded within and adjacent to the project area
are summarized in the following section.
2.2.3.1 Recorded Archaeological Resources
A 0. 5-mile search radius around the Property was used to locate sites within survey proximity of
the project area. Table 1 presents a summary of the results and a summary of the recorded
archaeological resources is presented in Appendix A.

Historic Property None 160
Register None None
The SHPO records revealed three archaeological resource 0.5-mile search radius around and
within the project area. The archaeological sites located within 0.5 miles from the project area
are listed as coal mine, structure associated with a dam, and a historic foundation. The coal
mine site, 45KI211, is associated with the Renton Coal Mine which is located along the northern
boundary of the project area and is listed on the Washington Heritage Register. It was not
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (Bowden and Dampf 2005;
Collins 1975; Landau Associates 2007). The historic dam and retaining wall site, 45KI767, is
associated with the Talbot Road Dam which is located 0.375 miles southeast of the project area
and has not been evaluated for listing on the NRHP (DAHP 2007). The historic foundation site,
45KI848, associated with the Renton Glass Factory which is located 0.2 miles north of the project
area and is not eligible for listing in the NRHP (DAHP 2008; Toulouse 1971).
2.2.3.2 Historic Map Review
A review of historical maps of the project area curated by the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM), the US Geological Survey (USGS), and additional historic records were used to
characterize the historic use and development in the project area. The 1865 General Land

Office (GLO) survey map depicts that the northernmost portion of the project area is located in
land claim no. 37 associated with the patents for Diana B. Tobin (Smithers) and Henry Heirs (H.H.)
of Tobin (GLO 1865). No other use of the project area is listed until the initial construction of the
sewer lines in 1965.
2.2.4 Summary of Background Research and Expectations
The results of the background research conducted to date indicate, with the exception of work
conducted along I-405, little archaeological research has been conducted within the project
area. Characteristics of the present-day landscape, stream and stream bank stabilization due to
erosion, suggests that pre-contact and historic cultural material is unlikely to be identified in the
project area.
3.0 FIELD METHODS
Field work involved a pedestrian survey of the project area with no wider than 10 meter
transects. When vegetation or walking access restricted the 10 meter transects, exploration into
the surrounding area was conducted to assess the area until transect access became available.
After the pedestrian survey was completed, shovel test probes (STP) were placed judgmentally
in locations that appeared to be undisturbed and where sewer replacement and repair would
possibly take place. All STPs measured approximately 40-50 centimeters in diameter. All
sediments were screened through 1/4" mesh screens. Upon completion of the STP, all excavated
sediments was backfilled into the STP.
4.0 RESULTS
Survey and testing was conducted on July 11 and July 12, 2017. Field crew consisted of Justin
Junge, MS (Stantec) and Nathan Jereb, BA (Stantec). The project area was surveyed
completely and one STP was excavated to test for subsurface cultural material.
4.1 PEDESTRAIN SURVEY RESULTS
The pedestrian survey of the project area was conducted in two stages. The first stage was
conducted to identify surface cultural material. Starting at the southern end of the project area
(Figure 3), the Stantec archaeologists walked the entire project area. Due to heavy vegetation
and restriction due to terrain, 10 meter transects were only viable in the northern half of the
project area. Exploration into the vegetation and sloped areas above and below the access
path were conducted to assess these areas. No cultural material was identified on the surface of
the project area or in exposed erosional cut banks (Figure 4). In addition, the coal mine site,
45KI211, was not identified at the end of this stage of the pedestrian survey.

The second stage of the pedestrian survey was conducted to identify potential locations for STPs
within the project area. The project area was surveyed again beginning from the northern end
of the project area near I-405. Only one location was identified as a potential location for an
STP. All other cleared or flat areas were locations where buried gas a nd sewer lines are present.
4.2 SUBSURAFCE TESTING RESULTS
One STP was excavated within the project area to identify the potential for subsurface cultural
material. REN-STP-001 is located in the southern half of the project area (Figure 3). The STP was
placed on a raised flat area above and to the east of the access path (Figure 5). A description
of the sediments and other pertinent information is presented in Appendix B. The STP was
terminated at 20 centimeters below surface due to impassable root systems. The area
surrounding the STP also appears to be root system of the present trees or an old tree fall. No
cultural material was found in the STP.

Figure 5. Overview of Shovel Test Probe Facing Northeast (Photo by Justin Junge).
5.0 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The archaeological assessment of the project area did not identify cultural material. The soil
described in the project and active erosion (Figure 4) in the project area provides little
depositional context to the present sediments. Likewise, the previous stabilization work done
within, i.e. placement of rock gabion walls and placing rock rip rap in the stream, along the
stream bank, and where the hillside has slumped, the project area suggests that the stream area
and adjoining access road are no longer original deposits. Other work near the project area,
e.g. powerline construction (Figure 6 and 7), has also led to the modification of the landscape
that does not support intact cultural deposits.

The only potential areas of intact cultural materials, if the construction of the apartment
complexes did not remove or build-up the landscape, would be located on the terraces above
the stream and outside of the project area. Looking at the active erosional faces of the slope
did not identify cultural material or potential buried deposits. No additional archaeological
investigations are recommended in the project area. If the ground disturbance is proposed
outside the currently defined project area, i.e. terraces above the stream and access road, then
archaeologists should investigate these areas to determine if pre -contact or early historic
resources are present and could be affected by the proposed project activities.
