SCOPE OF WORK FOR CULTURAL RESOURCES A33E3SRAENT
The cultural resowrces survey and resulting technical documentation proposed in this scope of
work will satisfy guidelines established by the 1Nashington :Sfate Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation (DAHR) and Governor's Executive Order 05-05. There are no federal
monies and/or permits:reguired to complete this work, therefore complianoe with 8ection 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, is not requiretl.
Jason Cooper, AMEC, will be the lead Principal Investigator (PI) onthis project. Mr. Cooper's
qualfications meet the Secretary of the Interior's and State of Washington's Standardsfor
' Professional Archaeologist.
For this cultural resource. assessment AMEC is proposing to conduct the following tasks:
• Literature review and record search of the DAHP records;
• Identification and evaluation of historic buildings/sfrvctures ofder than 50 years located
within the project's impact area;
• Reconnaissance level pedesfrian survey of the project area; and
• Development of a draft and final version of technical shortreport.
• Review Background Data: AMEC will review ethnographic and historical literature on
Native American and early'~E.u_ roamerican uses of the projecf area, hisforic maps, and the
records on file at the DAHP to detecmine if any known archaeological, historic, or culfural
sites occurwithin 2 miles of the study acea. Information obtained in the record search will
afso refine our knowledge of the types and conditions of sites to be anticipated during field
investigations. Preliminary site record information on file with DAHP indicates that the
project area is located within a high probability area far unknown and significant'
archaeological resoutces. There are no known sites documerifed within the proposed
30-acre Property.
. Archaeological Reconnalssance Survey: AMEC archaeologists will systematically
inspect the project area for surface artifacts and assess.the Property's geomorphic setting
for its pqtential to contain unknown and significant archaeological resources. Surface
inspection will entail walking ove"r the en*e project area inspecting all exposed gcound.
Pedestrian transects will be spaced at 20-meter (66 feet) intervals.

Any archaeological materialsfound during survey will be recocded in the notes and
photographed: Any temporally or functionally diagnostic artifact will be mapped using a
global positioning system (GPS) and will be left where it was found. There will be no
collection of acchaeological rnaterial during this survey. Any site or isolate discovered during
survey will be documerrted' on Washington State DAHP Archaeological Site/Isvlated Find
record forms:
AMEC will idenfifq and evaluate historic: bu'tldingslstructures located within the project area
for listing `nrithin the Nafronal Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Washington State
Historic Property Inventory Form database will be utilized to record the identified historic.
resources. The year of 1960 was used as a cut-off date for year built on a specific building
and/or structure to determine if it should or should not be inventoried.
Specific activities of the field survey include:
o Documenting and assessing any previously recorded cultural resoarces and/or historic
properties within the project area;
• Iderrtifying, documenting and mapping with GPS, as appropriate, and describing any newly
discovered cultural resaurces in the proposed project area;
• Prepacing up to one (1) archaeological site form is included;
. Identifying and evaluating one (1) historic building, if applicable.
The City will be noti.fied at least 5 days in advance of the project survey. The PI will provide the
City with an out-of :field memo, senf electronically, upon completion of the fieldwork: This one-
paragraph email will provide the Gity'with an insfant synopsis of any archaeological discoveries
made during the fieldwork.
~ Draft Summary LefterReport: Results of the record searcti, literafure review; and field
investigations will be presented in a short, con¢ise draft summary reportof their findings that
will include relevant.supporting evidence forfindings. The report will assess whether stable
surfaces #hat may corifain unknown archaeological materials exist in the projed area; and
describe recommendations for further. work, if any.
The report will be submitted to the City in completed draft form for review and comment. If
any signficant cultural resources are identified, AMEC will provide an eligibility
recommendation within the.draft report. Jf site testing or fuFther evaluation is required, this
additional work will need to be completed under a separafe task order.
.
e Final Summary Let6er Reporti AMEC staff will address :any commenfs pravided by the
City on the dcaff.report. The final report will be submitted with all appropriate changes in

materiaf sucveys, lead-containing:paint surveys, mold surveys, soil or gr.oundwafer sampling, or,
wetlands determinations and delineations. AMEG can provitle these senrices, if requested,
under separate cover: A Phase I ESA does not guarantee an environmentally "clean" Property;
. but rather gives a preliminary indication of whettier furtherenvironmental work may be needed
by utilizing available data from the area. If further work is recommended, a Pha"se II ESA will be
proposed under separate oontract.
The Phase I will be. limited to accessible areas of the. Property. AMEC will be unable, to assess
environmental risks in areas where access is prahibitetl due to excessive vegetation or physical
bamers.

reconnaissance of the project area was complimented by a robust shovel probing regime
across the proposed 20-acre wetland mitigation site near Fennell Creek. A low density lithic
scatter was located in the shovel probes extending between 10 to 35 centimeters below
ground surface. A nearby plowed field, which was located adjacent to the projecYs APE,
provided excellent visual access to the lateral extent of the lithic scatter. Based on the field
results, WSDOT abandoned use of this proposed mitigation site in favor of an alternative
location within the watershed.
SR 167 HOT Lane Pilot Project, Stage 4, King County, Washington. Perteet As Project
Manager, Mr. Cooper managed the first phase of the archaeological survey for the Stage 4 SR
167 HOT Lane Pilot Project. WorR performed for this job included elient meetings with WSDOT
Urban Corridors project managers, mobilization of field crew, monthly invoicing and pedestrian

their Delta Yard required the removal of a large upland terrace. For the archaeological survey
and subsurface testing, a mechanical auger was deployed to excavate a large number of
probes in heavily vegetated areas and in other parts of the BNSF yard that consisted of
impenetrable crushed fill rock. No significant archaeological resources were identified during
this survey. One historic period bottle was found eroding from the upland terrace dating to the
1920s and recorded as an isolated find. Several historic buildings and structures were
documented and evaluated for listing in the NRHP. ,

Environmental Condition of Property, U.S. Navy Southwest Division, Tacoma, WA. Ms. Inouye
performed an environmental condition of property (EGP) assessment for the Tacoma Naval and
Marine Corps Reserve Center in Tacoma, Washington. The purpose of the ECP assessment was to
provide the Navy with a summary of the site's historical, cultural, and environmental information. Data
report ed in the ECP will be used to evaluate future development options for the site. During the ECP
assessment, Ms. Inouye visited the facility to identify potential source areas for contaminants,
performed a historical records review, interviewed facility personnel, and summarized findings in a
report.
Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) Barking Sands Site Inspection, U.S. Navy, PACDIV,
Waimea, HI. Performed a site inspection and assessment at twb of twelve sites to evaluate the
impact of historic facility operations to potential hUman and ecological receptors. During the site
assessmenf, Ms. Inouye performed a historical records search, conducted personnel interviews, and
collected verification samples from the project area. At one of the sites, discrete soil vapor samples
were collected and a geophysical survey was conducted to determine the location of potentially
leaking buried drums in a landfill. At the other site, surface soil and wipe samples were collected from
several transformer pad locations to determine if there were polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs)
releases. Site Investigation
Kenyon Street Bus Yard, City of Seattle Public Utility, Seattle, WA. Oversaw the remedial
investigation and feasibility study of a property with former site operations which include a wrecking
, yard, motor coach repair and storage facility, and a foundry. During the investigation; cement kiln dust
(CKD) was discovered to be buried below a portion of the Site. The CKD contains high levels of
arsenic, lead, and cadmium, as well as, elevated pH levels. In addition to the CKD, petroleum
compounds were detected in the site soil and groundwater.
Ms. Inouye also oversaw the development of the remediation design and contract specifications to
implement a soil removal action on the Site. Dig and Haul was the selected remedy for the Site. •
Project-specific issues addressed in the remediation design include: building demolition; installation of
' vertical shoring walls; Ecology-approved pre-construction confirmation soil borings; wet soil
excavation with saturated, contaminated soil management; and disposal of an estimated 27,000 cubic
yards of contaminated soil.

Pouisbo Emergency Spill Response, Anderson Environmental Contractors, Pouisbo, WA.
Participated in a Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) emergency spill response effort
to evaluate the origination of gasoline free product discovered at a stormwater outfall. The gasoline
release appeared to be associated with a leaking underground storage tank at a service station, and
Ms. Inouye assisted with the delineation of the release to the site soil and groundwater. AMEC is
currently evaluating surface water remediatiori systems to address the gasoline-impacted water
discharging at the outfall.
Pioneer Middle 5chool, Hill International, DuPont, WA. Oversaw the environmental assessment
. and remediation of surface soil impacted by arsenic at a site to be developed as a public school. Ms.
Inouye performed a historical records search, designed a site-specific sampling program, and
prepared planning documents (Work Plan and Corrective Action Plan) and summary reports. To
minimize remediation costs and meet the school construction schedule, Ms. Inouye worked with the
Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) to approve of implementation of site remediation
during construction of the new school., Site remediation involved soil stripping and mixing. Following
site remediation, the arsenic concentrations were below Ecology's MTCA cleanup levels, and no
contaminated soil was disposed of offsite.
Dock Street Right of Way, Active Construction, Tacoma, WA. Provided consultation to earthwork
contractor, Active Construction, to assist them with managing environmental issues encountered
during their street improvement project on the Thea Foss waterfront. During installation of subsurface
utilities, AMEC documented the progress of the work activities on daily log forms, characterized
excavated soil to evaluate disposal options, provided recommendations for the removal of
underground storage tanks (USTs), and assisted with delineation of a gasoline release from the _
USTs.
IVlarginal Way Groundwater Investigation, Confidential Client, Tukwila, WA. Prepared a
groundwater sampling and analysis plan (SAP) and the summary report for groundwater
characterization of a former truck manufacturing site. The site is situated adjacent to the Duwamish
River, a Superfund Site, and site groundwater is impacted by chlorinated solvents, petroleum
compounds, and metals. Due to the site's location, the analytical results were evaluated using
. ecological and sediment standard screening criteria.
Capitol Way Site Investigation, Washington State General Accounting, Olympia, WA. Project
Manager for site investigation of a property under a Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) agreement
with Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology). Site soil is impacted by petroleum contamination. Ms. Inouye prepared the Work Plan and was responsible for overseeing the
installation and development of groundwater monitoring wells and also ths collection of soil and
groundwater samples. The site investigation also included a preliminary human health risk
assessment. On the basis of the results of AMEC's investigation, administrative controls will be
placed on the property.
Burien Town Center and Town Square, City of Burien, WA. Previous investigations at the
proposed town center site have indicated that PCE; a chlorinated solvent, is present in site soil. Ms.
Inouye performed a limited investigation to evaluate if.the source of PCE originated from current
and/or historic operations on site or if the PCE originated from the fill blanketing the native soil. During
the investigation, Ms. Inouye collected soil and groundwater samples, evaluated the data, and
prepared a summary report.
Point Roberts Sediment Assessment, Point Roberts, PR Marina Limited Partnership, Point
Roberts, WA. Oversaw the field investigation to collect sediment samples in accordance with
Washington State guidelines [Dredged Material Evaluation and Disposal Procedures (PSDDA)
(February 2000 with 2003 updates), Sediment Management Standards (SMS) Chapter 173-204
WAC, (1995); and Puget Sound Estuary Pcogram (PSEP) Guidelines (1986-1997)]. Data collected
during the- investigation was used to evaluate disposal options of dredged material originating from
