17060 P a g e | 24 Proposal for Storm Drain Pump Station Improvements Projects BRADFORD PUMP STATION If requested by USACE, the environmental specialist subconsultant will organize and attend one (1) field visit with USACE to review the wetland delineation. Based on feedback received from USACE, the environmental specialist subconsultant will revise the wetland delineation, and if necessary, submit the revised version to USACE. This scope of work, includes minor refinements to the wetland delineation and minor text edits related to adjustments to report mapping, following USACE field visit or other feedback from the USACE. Deliverables: Draft and Final Wetland Delineation Report (electronic) Revised Wetland Delineation Report following comments USACE, if necessary (electronic) Task 8.2.4 Cultural Resources Report Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) is a condition for receiving a discretionary federal approval, such as a CWA Section 404 permit. The environmental specialist subconsultant will establish the Area of Potential Effect (APE) to evaluate the Project area. The environmental specialist subconsultant will conduct a records search at Northwest Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) for the APE. The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) will be contacted to determine whether Native American sacred sites are known to be located in or near the Project and to request a list of contacts for Native American tribes who may have an interest in the Project. Request for information letters will subsequently be sent to all those identified by the NAHC who might have additional information about the Project area. Follow up phone calls will be made to letter recipients about two weeks after the initial contact to verify that the letter has been received. An attempt will be made to solicit information from those contacted during the telephone exchange, if possible. Local historical societies may also be solicited for any information they may have regarding the Project area. The environmental specialist subconsultant’s archaeologists will conduct a cultural resources inventory of the APE. Archaeologists will exam the ground surface within the APE by walking appropriately spaced transects. Trowels or hoes may be used to clear vegetation to increase ground surface visibility, when needed. Any archaeological resources will be recorded on the standard California Department of Parks and Recreation Form 523. These will include photographs and a site map, and global positioning system data will be collected to accurately delineate the locations of all resources. The environmental specialist subconsultant will prepare a cultural resources report, which will include the methods and findings of the records search, contacts with Native Americans, the APE figures, and results of field studies, as appropriate. The report will be prepared according to the inventory requirements of California Office of Historic Preservation. Copies of the report will be submitted to the Northwest Information Center. The cultural resources report will be suitable for compliance with National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106, as required by USACE CWA Section 404 permitting. Resources identified will not be evaluated for eligibility for inclusion to the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) or the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). We assume that if potentially significant archaeological resources are identified on the Project property, then measures will be taken to avoid impacts so that there is no need to formally evaluate their significance. This scope of work does not include work effort should archaeological resources be identified, and it is determined that the site(s) cannot be avoided by Project construction, and the resource(s) will need to be evaluated for the CRHR and NRHP. Such a situation is outside of this scope of work. Deliverables: Draft and Revised Cultural Resources Report (electronic) ATTY/AGR.2021.257/Wood Rodgers, Inc.
