The applicant was able to provide a response to address your initial comments. Please see responses below: Applicant’s Responses: 1. Duwamish Tribe is recommending an archeological review performed on the project. We are in the process of obtaining the archaeological review and will provide it as soon as it is complete. 2. Duwamish Tribe is recommending the vegetation conservation buffer be maintained. Per provided reports, two small areas within the buffer occur on the site, which are currently unvegetated and covered with impermeable surfaces. The proposed design has no impact on the buffer and there will be no loss of ecological function. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or comments moving forward.

Based on the information provided and our understanding of the project and its APE, we would recommend an archeological review performed for this project. This is in an area the Duwamish Tribe considers culturally significant and has a high probability to have unknown archeological deposits. If any archeological work is performed, we request notification. An IDP should not be used in lieu of archeological investigation. Cultural and archeological resources are non-renewable and are best discovered prior to ground disturbance. In addition we strongly recommend that you maintain the vegetation conservation buffer along the southwestern corner of the site which is within the 200 foot shoreline zone for May Creek. Native plant vegetation is vital for aquatic and land based life as well as mitigating seasonal urban flooding.
