Snohomish Conservation District 2/14/2024

2 1.2 CULTURAL RESOURCE REVIEW Prior to ground disturbing work or alteration of a potentially historic or culturally significant structure, or release of final payments on an acquisition, the City with assistance from the District must provide HSIL documentation from the state or federal land managing agency’s cultural resources responsible official demonstrating compliance with all applicable cultural resource laws and regulations. The District shall follow HSIL guidance and directives to assist it with such review as may apply. Both the City and the District will work with the HSIL subaward manager to fulfill cultural resource review requirements. Task 5 may not begin until the required consultation and review processes and documentation have been approved by the HSIL in coordination with the WDFW Cultural Resources Division. No work shall commence in the project area until the HSIL has provided a notice of cultural resources completion. The HSIL may require on-site monitoring for impacts to cultural resources during any demolition, construction, land clearing, restoration, or repair work, and may direct that work stop to minimize, mitigate, or avoid impacts to cultural resource impacts or concerns. All cultural resources requirements for non-ground disturbing projects (such as acquisition or planning projects) must be met prior to final reimbursement. At all times, the District shall take reasonable action to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to cultural resources in the project area, and comply with any HSIL direction to manage adverse effects such as project re- design, relocation, or mitigation. All federal or state cultural resources requirements under Governor’s Executive Order 21-02 and the National Historic Preservation Act, and the State Environmental Policy Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, and any local laws that may apply, must be completed prior to the start of any work on the project site. The District must agree to indemnify and hold harmless the State of Washington in relation to any claim related to historical or cultural artifacts discovered, disturbed, or damaged due to the project funded under this Agreement. The District shall comply with RCW 27.53, RCW 27.44.055, and RCW 68.50.645, and all other applicable local, state, and federal laws protecting cultural resources and human remains. HSIL retains the right to terminate a project due to anticipated or actual impacts to cultural resources. INADVERTENT DISCOVERY PLAN Using the WDFW-provided template or a modified template for non-ground disturbing work, the City will adopt an Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP), similar to the one Snohomish Conservation District will be using in their WD1-9 Forestry HSI. If the District uses a template approved for their organization, they will work with the City to ensure the template contains all information required by WDFW Cultural Resources Division. The District is required to keep a copy of the IDP at all the project sites at all times. If any archaeological or historic resources are found while conducting work under this Agreement, the District shall immediately stop work and notify the City who will then contact: HSIL/WDFW: HSIL subaward manager DAHP: Dr. Lance Wollwage - 360-586-3064 HSIL/WDFW will contact any affected Tribe. Immediately stop any activity that may cause further disturbance to the archeological or historic resources. If ground disturbing activities encounter human skeletal remains during construction, then all activity will cease that may cause further disturbance to those remains. The area of the find will be secured and protected from further disturbance until the State provides notice to proceed. The finding of human skeletal remains will
