DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL:
45 KT 21 Archaeological Site Remediation Project: The 45 KT 21 archaeological site is located in and around a cave adjacent to the mid-Columbia River in Wanapum Reservoir, Kittitas County, in Central Washington. Human disturbance such as looting, vandalism, and animal activities have occurred at the site throughout time. Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County (Grant PUD) purposes to protect the site by armoring the cave floor with several grades of fill material and replacing the basalt rip-rap adjacent to the site to prevent further destruction of archaeological resources and erosion associated with past site access.
The proposed 45 KT 21 archaeological site remediation includes armoring the floor of the cave, the eroded hillside adjacent to the mouth of the cave, and the Columbia River shoreline extending below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The existing cave floor will be covered with sand, 1 inch minimum depth over the entire cave floor. This will serve as a marker horizon for monitoring and long-term management. Following the deposition of the marker horizon, a geosynthetic grid ground cloth will be laid over the sand. The geosynthetic grid cloth will be covered with gravel 6 inches in depth and composed of broken basalt of 2 inch maximum dimension with little to no material smaller than 1/2 inch. The gravel will be covered with 12 inch deep light rip-rap (broken basalt) which will vary in size from 4 to 8 inches. The eroded hillside and near shore area adjacent to the cave will be covered only with rip-rap as described above (approximately 20 linear feet). All deposition of sand, geosynthetic grid ground cloth, gravel, and rip-rap in the cave will be conducted through use of hand labor, and mechanical belt conveyance system. The shoreline rip-rap will be placed through use of hand labor and a mechanical belt conveyance system temporarily assembled at the site to assist laborers moving the rip-rap into the cave and the adjacent hillside and shoreline. The proposed project will require a Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit from the Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) and a Biological Assessment (BA) (Attachment D) from the USCOE. The project will comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the permits received for this project. Other conservation measures proposed include: performing all work during the fisheries-designated work window; minimizing impacts to nearshore, shallow water habitat by utilizing the LCM vessel as much as feasibly possible; placing a silt fence or other appropriate materials above the OHWM at the edge of the construction limits; using a sling tarp whenever any over water work is taking place; and re-vegetating upland disturbed areas with a mix of native grasses, forbs, and sterile erosion-control grasses (as appropriate).
The proposed project includes preparation and staging of equipment and material stockpiles at the north end of the Sunland Estates public boat launch parking lot. Materials will be loaded onto the landing craft mechanized vessel (LCM) above the OHWM using a small wheeled front end loader (Bobcat or similar) and then transported to the project location. The materials will be off-loaded from the LCM vessel and deposited within the cave and adjacent hillside and shoreline through use of hand labor and a mechanical belt conveyance system temporarily assembled at the site to assist laborers.
This project will be constructed in six phases to minimize disturbance and maintain a safe working environment. The estimated project start date is December 1, 2007, with an anticipated completion date of December 21, 2007. Hours of construction will be approximately 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The approximate number of working days shall be 15 days.
Prior to delivery of the materials to the staging/stockpiling location, silt curtains will be erected around the parameter of the area. After the materials and equipment have been positioned, the LCM will be fitted with a sling tarp and loaded with sand, gravel, or basalt using a wheeled loader (Bobcat or similar) from the staging/stockpiling area. Approximately 12 tons of material will be loaded on the LCM each load. Materials will be placed in the LCM well deck against the wood bulkhead and spread across the deck to balance the vessel (heavy on the starboard side to offset the weight of the conveyor and excavator on the port side).
