Appendix B: Inadvertent Discovery Protocol for Construction Contractors/ Archaeological Resources Monitoring Plan The Everett Riverfront Redevelopment: North Wetland Complex Enhancement Project (Project) is subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act ("Section 106") due to a ' federal 404 permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). USACE is the lead federal agency for Section 106. USACE has required development of an Archaeological Resources Monitoring Plan/Inadvertent Discovery Plan (ARMP/IDP) as a condition of the 404 permit. This document summarizes the contractor's responsibility, and is based on the larger ARMP/IDP document. Additional laws that apply to archaeological projects conducted within the State of Washington ' include: Archaeological Sites and Resources Law (RCW 27.53), Indian Graves and Records Law (RCW 27.44), Human Remains Law (RCW 68.50), and Abandoned and Historic Cemeteries and Historic Graves Law (RCW 68.60). ' Prior to ground disturbing excavations, the Contractor or Subcontractor shall be responsible for having the entire work crew attend a tailgate orientation. This 10-minute orientation with the ' Project Archaeologist will explain the protocols outlined in the ARMP/IDP and describe procedures. It is also an opportunity to exchange contact information and introduce personnel. ' The Project Archaeologist and/or City Project Manager will be responsible for performing most of the tasks outlined in the ARMP/IDP. However, there may be times that the Contractor is immediately accountable. These are described below. ' 1. In the even that a suspected archaeological resource is encountered: In the event that a suspected significant archaeological resource is encountered, a temporary halt to the ground disturbing activities shall be required near the find (buffered by at least 30 feet in every direction). The Contractor or Subcontractor shall immediately halt work within the area of discovery, mark and secure the area of discovery, and notify the City Project Manager. The ' suspected archaeological resources shall not be handled, removed, reburied, or covered. The area of work stoppage shall be adequate to provide for the security, protection, and integrity of the suspected cultural resources. Vehicles, equipment, and unauthorized personnel shall not be ' permitted to traverse the discovery area. Spoils piles or vehicles (such as dump trucks) with the potential to contain archaeological resources shall remain on site. ' If an Archaeological Monitor is not on site, the City Project Manager (or Contractor or Subcontractor, if the City Project Manager is not onsite) will be responsible for immediately collecting basic information regarding the discovery, including names of construction personnel, ' location, time and date, field conditions, equipment, and nature and extent of the discovery (see form attached to this document). During the investigation of a potential archaeological discovery, construction may proceed elsewhere on site, provided it will not cause further disturbance at the discovery location. ' The City Project Manager will notify the Project Archaeologist of the discovery. ' The types of materials that would require a temporary halt for further investigation include: • Suspected human remains • Layers of charcoal and/or concentrated shell • Animal bones, stone tools, or other Native American artifacts Page 1 I
