Performance Work Statement:

Pasco Pump Lateral 5.8 Wasteway Post-Construction Monitoring

1) BACKGROUND

Pasco Pump Lateral 5.8 Wasteway (PPL 5.8 WW) drains excess water from the Pasco Pump

Lateral (PPL). The wasteway is located on a Reclamation owned right-of-way with the wasteway outlet passing through a strip of Federal land owned by the United States and managed by the Walla District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Below the ordinary high-water mark of Lake Wallula (340 feet), the lands are under the management of the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.

As a part of the wasteway post-construction modification to halt excessive erosion (PPL 5.8

WW Post-Construction Project), Reclamation acquired additional fee land, a USACE perpetual permit area, and a temporary construction permit area. These areas near the mouth of the outlet along Lake Wallula were acquired for staging and construction of the permanent erosion fix.

During the archaeological testing project conducted in September 2017, Reclamation archaeologists encountered a light scatter of artifacts and other cultural materials on a low terrace adjacent to the Columbia River in the area where the PPL 5.8 WW is to be built.

Cultural materials were not found in other parts of the wasteway route. These materials appear to be on the periphery of 45FR19, a pre-Contact village site first recorded by archaeologists in 1947 (Hess et al. 2018). This site location coincides with the traditional village site known as Tamántawla (Hunn et al. 2015).

The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requires that Federal agencies take action to assess and resolve adverse effects to historic properties caused by Federal actions. Under contract to Reclamation, Historical Research Associates, Inc. (HRA) monitored the new wasteway construction from October 31, 2019, to June 9, 2020. Tribal monitors from

Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CTCR), the Confederated Tribes of the

Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR), and the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama

Nation (YN) were present at various times throughout this period.

2) INTRODUCTION

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for archaeological monitoring during modification of the PPL 5.8 WW outlet. PPL 5.8 WW is in Franklin County, Washington, P a g e 2 | 17 directly across the Columbia River from Richland, Washington. The legal location of the project is T9N, R28E Section 1, T9N, R29E Section 6, T10N, R28E Section 36, and T10N, R29E, Section 31. Reclamation will designate an individual to be the Lead Archaeological

Monitor (Lead Monitor). This individual will meet or exceed the Secretary of the Interior standards for a professional archaeologist as expressed in 36 CFR 61, Appendix A, as well as the definition of “professional archaeologist” provided in RCW 27.53.030 (11). USACE does not require an ARPA permit for construction monitoring tasks conducted alongside

Reclamation designated Lead Monitor. During construction there will be a Reclamation designated Lead Monitor present to work with the archaeological monitor provided by the

Tribe (Tribal Monitor).

a) Task 1 – Approximately 30, 10-hour days of archaeological monitoring during three (3) sessions of construction (1st and 10th day of the session include drive time to and from the

Area of Potential Effect (APE)).

b) Task 2 – Applicable session summaries, draft report, and a final monitoring report provided to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). The COR will be a

Reclamation Archaeologist.

c) Task 3 – Meetings with Reclamation.

Reclamation proposes post-construction modification to the existing wasteway outlet to halt excessive erosion at this location. After the wasteway was put into use, excessive erosion occurred due to the consistent volume of water coming out of the wasteway and downstream operations of McNary Dam. Normal operations within the McNary Dam forebay range from

337 to 340 feet. However, river levels have been documented to be higher in late summer while the wasteway is in full operations, leading to erosion that exposed the foundation of the wasteway.

Reclamation’s PPL 5.8 WW Post Construction Project was initiated after completion of the original outlet due to this excessive erosion occurring during the wasteway’s use. Measures to address the erosion were conducted in FY21 and FY22 under the provisions of the 2019

MOA (R19MA13755) and archaeological monitoring reports were submitted (Luxton 2021a

2021b). Ultimately, these efforts were unsuccessful. Excessive erosion continued, and the installed riprap continued to be washed away due to the consistent volume of water coming out of the wasteway and operations of McNary Dam.

All the post-construction modification work will occur within the previously disturbed prism of the original wasteway construction. However, given the possibility that other cultural materials may be found during construction and post-construction modification, Reclamation considers it important to have archaeologists on-site during construction to monitor the activities and to evaluate cultural materials that may be exposed.

P a g e 3 | 17

Reclamation estimates that 30 days of lead archaeological monitoring services (which include drive time to and from the APE) shall be required.

3) LOCATION OF WORK

The PPL 5.8 WW lies within an acquired Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) right-of-way, owned in fee. Pasco, Washington, lies about 5 miles to the southeast of the project area. The wasteway outlet is located at approximately Columbia River Mile 339.5 on the left bank of the river.

4) TASKS

a) TASK 1 – MONITORING

Historical Research Associates, Inc. shall provide a Lead Archaeological Monitor (Lead

Monitor) as Reclamation’s representative to observe construction at PPL 5.8 WW, investigate possible cultural materials and features, and be present to assist in addressing human remains or NAGPRA cultural items. After initial identification, any work to address features or recover or treat human remains or burials shall be handled as defined and described in the Post-Review Discovery section (4.a.i.1) under contract option Task

4.

Historical Research Associates, Inc.’s Lead Monitor shall observe activities for post-review discoveries at PPL 5.8 WW. This may include, but is not limited to, the following activities:

• Placement of survey markers and stakes that involves removal of vegetation, especially in the strip of riparian vegetation along the river and to delineate the staging area within the APE.

• Clearing and grubbing, especially of the vegetation along the river’s edge.

• Installation of booms and other structures at the water’s edge designed to control run-off.

• Placement of forms for the concrete outlet structure at the discharge end of the wasteway.

• Construction activities at the wasteway outlet.

• Placement of rip-rap along river’s edge around the outlet structure.

• Other minor ground disturbing activities such as may be necessary for project completion on the low terrace.

• Post-construction cleanup activities.

P a g e 4 | 17

The Lead Monitor shall be present whenever there is construction-related activity occurring at PPL 5.8 WW according to the agreed upon Lead Monitor Work Schedule

(Schedule). It is critical that Historical Research Associates, Inc. work with the COR to schedule days on site during construction. The project will be split into three (3) 10-day construction sessions. Each construction session will have up to 10-hour workdays with travel days on the 1st and 10th days. For budget and planning purposes, Historical

Research Associates, Inc. shall plan to have the Lead Monitor on-site for approximately

8, 10-hour days for each of the three (3) 10-day sessions unless agreed to in writing otherwise and documented in the Schedule. See “Schedule” below for the planned duration of the work.

i) WORK STOPPAGES

The authority to order a work stoppage rests with the Reclamation Contracting

Officer (CO). The CO will be delegating this authority, on a limited basis, to the

Reclamation Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or Construction Control

Representative (CCR), who will be the representative of the Contracting Officer in the field during construction. The Lead Monitor will work closely with the COR or

CCR when making decisions regarding work stoppages.

Should the Lead Monitor want construction activities to stop to assess a possible find, the following procedures shall be followed:

• To avert disturbance of archaeological items or possible features within the construction site, the Tribal Monitor(s) shall notify the Lead Monitor and CCR that a temporary halt of up to 30 minutes is needed. The Tribal Monitor and

Lead Monitor shall work together to assess the activity or find.

• After initial assessment, if it appears more than 30 minutes is needed to conduct an assessment, the Lead Monitor will inform the CCR and COR regarding the need for a longer work stoppage.

• The CO and COR are the only persons with authority to stop and restart construction activity.

• The Lead Monitor shall coordinate the flow of information between the Tribal

Monitors and the COR.

• The Lead Monitor shall document the time and duration of each work stoppage, regardless of length.

• Work shall resume after the Lead Monitor’s assessment and appropriate consultations with the CO or COR are complete.

P a g e 5 | 17

It will be the responsibility of Reclamation’s CCR to ensure that no construction activities take place until such time as the Lead Monitor, and the Tribal Monitor are available to observe the work. The CCR, the construction contractor’s supervisor, foreman, and other on-site authorities will be informed of the Lead Monitor’s and

Tribal Monitor’s presence and authority to halt construction work for up to 30 minutes to conduct an initial assessment. If it appears that it will take longer than this to conduct an assessment, the Lead Monitor will inform Reclamation’s CCR and

COR regarding the need for a longer work stoppage. The Lead Monitor will follow construction as closely as conditions allow, making all reasonable efforts to follow on-site safety protocols and not interfere with normal construction activities. See

“Safety” below for the required safety precaution required for the duration of the work.

(1) POST-REVIEW DISCOVERY

While Reclamation does not anticipate recovering artifacts during the PPL 5.8

WW Post-Construction Project. In the unlikely event that suspected cultural materials or features are identified during the post-construction modification project, Reclamation will follow the procedure outlined below.

Should suspected cultural materials or features be found, the Lead Monitor shall determine if the artifacts are part of an intact cultural feature or an isolated archaeological find. The steps that will be taken to evaluate archaeological resources identified during construction will be as follows:

(a) In the case of an isolated archaeological find, construction excavation will halt in the vicinity of the find. The Lead Monitor will photograph the isolated find and the surrounding area, recording details regarding the depth below surface, stratigraphic context, GPS position, etc. Construction excavation may resume as soon as the Lead Monitor has informed the CCR and COR that the assessment is complete. Small aggregations of riverine mussel extending over an area measuring no more than 50 centimeters (1.7 ft.) will be treated as isolated archaeological finds.

(b) In the case of the following discoveries, the Lead Monitor and Tribal Monitor will conduct more extensive work under contract option Task 4 to evaluate the finds:

(i) Exposures of riverine mussel extending over 50 cm (1.7 ft.) in length.

(ii) Concentrations of fire-modified rock (as opposed to isolated pieces of fire-modified rock).

P a g e 6 | 17

(iii)Hearths, which may include distinct charcoal-stained bands, areas of bisque soils, or pits.

(iv) Evidence of a habitation feature like post molds, housepit floors, and aggregations of “furniture” rocks.

(v) Other concentrations of cultural materials, especially debitage, bones, or other potentially significant features.

In the case of these kinds of cultural materials or features, the Lead Monitor will inform the CCR, the COR, and other on-site construction authorities that a longer work stoppage will be necessary to assess the finds. The Lead

Monitor will contact the COR and Reclamation Archaeologist, who will (in turn) contact Reclamation’s Project Manager and the NHPA Section 106

Consulting Parties (i.e., Washington SHPO, Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, and

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation). Notification will also be provided to the appropriate land-owner depending on the location of the find (Debra Kohler, Warm Springs Properties LLC, or the designated representative of the USACE Northwestern Division, Walla Walla District).

Reclamation will then consult with these NHPA Section 106 Consulting

Parties regarding the steps to be taken to evaluate the finds. This may include, but is not limited to, photography, mapping, and other kinds of opportunistic sampling in the side of the excavated construction area. Cultural features, horizons and artifacts detected in buried sediments may require further evaluation using hand-dug test units which would require exercising contract option Task 4. Consultation will take place in an expedited manner through the use of conference calls and other immediate forms of communication. The outcomes of verbal consultation will be documented in e-mails or letters for later reference.

The results of activities undertaken as a result of this monitoring will be included in the Monitoring Summary Report. Exercising of contract option

Task 4 will require a separate excavation report. See “Reporting” task below for the required reporting to complete the task.

The Reclamation CO or COR will not allow work to resume after a longer work stoppage until consultation with the SHPO and affected Tribes under

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has been completed.

This will also require permission from the appropriate land-owner to resume construction.

(2) DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS

P a g e 7 | 17

While Reclamation does not anticipate identify human remains or NAGPRA cultural items during the PPL 5.8 WW Post-Construction Project. In the unlikely event that suspected human remains or NAGPRA cultural items are identified during the post-construction modification project, Reclamation will follow the procedure outlined below.

Should the Lead or Tribal Monitor identify human remains or NAGPRA cultural items during construction, the Lead Monitor shall work with Reclamation’s CO or

COR to stop construction-related activity within the area of the discovery. As used here, “discovery” refers only to the discovery of human remains or cultural items during the conduct of other activities as defined in 43 CFR § 10.5 or RCW

27.44.040.

(a) Federal Lands: On Federal lands, the procedures specified in 43 CFR 10.5 will be followed in the event that human remains or NAGPRA cultural items are found:

(i) The Lead Monitor will inform the CCR, other on-site construction authorities, and the COR that the Lead or Tribal Monitor has found something that they think is a human remain or a NAGPRA cultural item.

Work will stop immediately within 100 ft. of the find.

(ii) The Lead Monitor will take reasonable steps to protect the find.

(iii)The Lead Monitor will immediately contact the COR and Reclamation

Archaeologist who will (in turn) immediately contact the following people in the following order by phone, text, or e-mail:

1. The designated representative of the Federal agency managing the lands.

a. In the case of the USACE lands along the river, this will be an individual designated by the USACE Walla Walla District.

b. In the case of Reclamation lands along the wasteway route, this will be the Columbia-Cascades Area Office Manager.

2. The designated representative of each of the three (3) Consulting

Tribes (i.e., Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, and Confederated

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation).

(iv) Written notification (in the form of an e-mail) will be sent to the designated individual at the Federal agency within 24 hours of the find.

Because the USACE is responsible for NAGPRA compliance on the Federal lands that it manages, Reclamation’s actions and timelines will be heavily

P a g e 8 | 17 dependent on USACE NAGPRA compliance procedures. The Reclamation

Archaeologist will be available to assist USACE in whatever means necessary to complete the NAGPRA consultation process. The Reclamation CO or COR will not allow work to resume on USACE lands until the USACE provides permission.

As per the request of the SHPO, the Reclamation Archaeologist will notify the

Franklin County Coroner, the Franklin County Sheriff, and the Washington

State Physical Anthropologist regarding discoveries of human remains on

Reclamation lands. At the request of the USACE, the Reclamation

Archaeologist would be willing to notify these same parties about discoveries of human remains on USACE lands, as well.

(b) Private Lands: On private lands, the procedures found in RCW 27.44 will be followed in the event that skeletal human remains are found.

(i) The Lead Monitor will inform the CCR, other on-site construction authorities, COR, and Reclamation Archaeologist that they have found something that they think is a skeletal human remain or an Indian burial.

(ii) Work will stop immediately within 100 ft. of the find.

(iii)The Lead Monitor will take reasonable steps to protect the find.

(iv)

(v) The Lead Monitor will immediately contact the COR and Reclamation

Archaeologist who will (in turn) immediately contact the following people in the following order by phone, text, or e-mail:

1. The private property owner

2. The Franklin County Coroner

3. The Franklin County Sheriff

4. The Washington State Physical Anthropologist

5. The designated representative of each of the three (3) Consulting

Tribes (i.e., Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, and Confederated

Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation).

(vi) The Reclamation Archaeologist will request that the Coroner determine whether the skeletal human remains are forensic or non-forensic in the most expeditious manner possible, and The Lead Monitor and

Reclamation Archaeologist will provide information as needed by the

Coroner to support this effort.

1. If the remains are determined to be non-forensic, Reclamation will support the respectful transfer the remains to the Washington State

Physical Anthropologist.

P a g e 9 | 17

2. If the remains are determined to be forensic, Reclamation will support the respectful transfer the remains to the Coroner.

(vii) Reclamation will not resume work within 100 ft. of the find until the process of consulting with affected Tribes regarding the treatment of the skeletal human remains has been completed in keeping with RCW

27.44 and 36 CFR § 800.

Because the Washington State Physical Anthropologist at the Department of

Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is heavily involved in the process of addressing Native American human remains found on private lands, Reclamation’s actions and timelines will be dependent on DAHP compliance procedures. The Reclamation Archaeologist will be available to assist DAHP in whatever means necessary to complete the process of addressing RCW 27.44.

Reclamation will not resume work within 100 ft. of the find until the process of complying with RCW 27.44 and 36 CFR § 800 are completed and private land-owners (Warm Springs and Kohler) provide permission for the resumption of work.

b) TASK 2 – REPORTING

Historical Research Associates, Inc. shall prepare the following reports and documents and deliver them electronically. No hard copies are necessary. See “Deliverables” below for document descriptions.

i) Session Monitoring Report

At the end of each session, the Lead Monitor will provide the Reclamation

Archaeologist, who will (in turn), provide the Consulting Parties with a report regarding the progress of construction, the number of work stoppages and their duration, and a brief description of cultural materials, if any are found. This report may be provided by phone or in a written form by e-mail.

ii) Draft, Monitoring Summary Report

The Monitoring Summary Report will provide details about the dates and periods of time that the Lead Monitor was on-site during construction and what kinds of construction activities were monitored. Any artifacts, samples, human remains and

NAGPRA cultural items that were identified and/or collected, if any, would be addressed under contract option Task 4 and not within the Monitoring Report. The report will include maps showing the findspots of the collected items based on GPS data collected in the field. If excavations were conducted to assess the significance of identified cultural features, the report will include appropriate photographs and drawings of the stratigraphic position of the feature, as well as a written description of the feature and its contents. The report will also discuss the implications of the finds for our understanding of the ability of the identified archeological resources to provide important information about our understanding of prehistory or history. If

P a g e 10 | 17 there are no significant discoveries during monitoring, the draft report may be provided as an electronic letter report sent via email in an attached Microsoft (MS)

Word document. The Draft Monitoring Summary Report shall be provided to

Reclamation within 45 calendar days of the completion of PPL 5.8 WW post-construction modification.

iii) Final, Monitoring Summary Report

The Monitoring Summary Report will provide details about the dates and periods of time that the Lead Monitor was on-site during construction and what kinds of construction activities were monitored. Any artifacts, samples, human remains and

NAGPRA cultural items that were identified and/or collected, if any, would be addressed under contract option Task 4 and not within the Monitoring Report. The report will include maps showing the findspots of the collected items based on GPS data collected in the field. If excavations were conducted to assess the significance of identified cultural features, the report will include appropriate photographs and drawings of the stratigraphic position of the feature, as well as a written description of the feature and its contents. The report will also discuss the implications of the finds for our understanding of the ability of the identified archeological resources to provide important information about our understanding of prehistory or history. If there are no significant discoveries during monitoring, the final report may be provided as an electronic letter report sent via email in an attached Microsoft (MS)

Word document. The Final Monitoring Summary Report shall be provided to

Reclamation within 45 calendar days of the receipt of Reclamation’s comments on the

Draft Monitoring Summary Report.

iv) Field Records (including digital camera photos)

The Lead Monitor will collect on a form and transmit data electronically whenever possible to reduce hard copy documents. The Lead Monitor will provide an electronic copy of digital camera photographs via email, a file sharing system, or on a CD. The digital camera photographs will be provided as TIF or JPEG files in keeping with

National Archives and Records Administration standards.

v) GPS data and GIS layers

The Lead Monitor will provide electronic copies of all GPS data generated as a part of construction monitoring activities. The data will be provided in the “UTM Zone 11

North NAD83 meters” projection, and the supplied data will include a “PRJ” file. The data will be submitted as shapefiles or a geodatabase and will include attribute data.

(1) Location of collected diagnostic artifacts.

(2) Location of identified cultural features.

(3) Location of identified human remains and other NAGPRA “cultural items.”

(4) Location of excavation units.

P a g e 11 | 17

(2) Concentrations of fire-modified rock (as opposed to isolated pieces of fire-modified rock).

(3) Hearths, which may include distinct charcoal-stained bands, areas of bisque soils, or pits.

(4) Evidence of a habitation feature like post molds, housepit floors, and aggregations of “furniture” rocks.

(5) Other concentrations of cultural materials, especially debitage, bones, or other potentially significant features.

In the case of these kinds of cultural materials or features, the Lead Monitor will inform the CCR, the COR, and other on-site construction authorities that a longer work stoppage will be necessary to assess the finds. The Lead Monitor will contact the COR and Reclamation Archaeologist, who will (in turn) contact Reclamation’s

Project Manager and the NHPA Section 106 Consulting Parties (i.e., Washington

SHPO, Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, and Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian

Reservation). Notification will also be provided to the appropriate land-owner depending on the location of the find (Debra Kohler, Warm Springs Properties LLC, or the designated representative of the USACE Northwestern Division, Walla Walla

District). Reclamation will then consult with these NHPA Section 106 Consulting

Parties regarding the steps to be taken to evaluate the finds. This may include, but is not limited to, photography, mapping, and other kinds of opportunistic sampling in the side of the excavated construction area. Cultural features, horizons and artifacts detected in buried sediments may require further evaluation using hand-dug test units.

Units may be dug in controlled fashion to expose features, collect samples from undisturbed contexts, or interpret complex stratigraphy. A test excavation unit or small trench may also be used to determine if an intact occupation surface is present.

Test units would be implemented only when necessary to gather information on the nature, extent, and integrity of subsurface cultural deposits to evaluate the site’s significance. Consultation will take place in an expedited manner through the use of conference calls and other immediate forms of communication. The outcomes of verbal consultation will be documented in e-mails or letters for later reference.

Pre-Contact and historic-period artifacts that are not human remains or cultural items collected from the surface, construction excavations, and/or archaeological testing will be analyzed, catalogued, and temporarily curated by the Lead Archaeological

Monitor. Ultimate disposition of cultural materials will be determined by the appropriate property owner provided that these items are not covered by either

NAGPRA or RCW 27.44. Items to be curated will be housed in a Federally approved

P a g e 14 | 17 repository following the standards in 36 CFR § 79 and the Department of Interior

Museum Property Handbook.

The results of excavations and other investigations undertaken as a result of this monitoring will be included in the Excavation Report. See “Reporting” task below for the required reporting to complete the task.

The Reclamation CO or COR will not allow work to resume after a longer work stoppage until consultation with the SHPO and affected Tribes under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act has been completed. This will also require permission from the appropriate land-owner to resume construction.
