RE: Default Comments for Archaeological Permits

Greetings Jamie, 8720 Grand Ronde Rd Grand Ronde, OR 97347

The last two years have been chaotic and has presented challenges to the permit review process in many ways.

This has caused a few permits to slip by without comment from our office, particularly those with a shorter review period. Our office would ask that you consider the following conditions as the default for all permit applications where we have not provided comments by the deadline.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you, tj#/?' Christopher Bailey Cultural Protection Specialist Historic Preservation Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon chris.bailey@grandronde.org 503-879-1675
