Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed the Department Report Commissioner Hewins noted that staff proposed the modified version of the standard archaeological condition wording for shoreline activities. Assistant Planner Roberds indicated that previous discussion with Carol Brown from the Lower Elwha S , Klallam Tribe indicated that because Daishowa America has a standing contract with Larson Associates, the expanded version of the wording need not be imposed. Chair Schramm opened the public hearing. Paul Per/witz, Environmental Manager for Dais/wwa America, P.O. Box 271, Port Angeles, stated that the project is a maintenance project. Recent specialized electrical testing at the Mill indicated that current capacity ofthe utility line to the wastewater treatment plant is less than adequate. The 25-year old line is intended for replacement underground. Daishowa America is aware that the Mill site is of cultural significance to the Lower Elwha S 'Klallam Tribe and is committed to working with Larson Anthropological Services on Mill construction projects. The Tribe is contacted prior to anyon-site construction activity and is informed as to who from Larson Services will be working with them on-site and when. Commissioner Schramm asked if data cables are also being replaced or are they being added. Mr. Perlwitz responded that data cables and conduit are being replaced. The new conduits will serve data and electrical cables. One main conduit will be dedicated to electrical cable, one for data resources, one for a fire alarm system, and one spare conduit. There being no further comment, Chair Schramm closed the public hearing. Commissioner Hewins moved to approve the shoreline substantial development permit with the addition that the expanded archaeological wording be imposed as a condition of approval, and citing the following findings and conclusions: Condition: 1. If the subject site has not been previously inventoried, evaluated, and reviewed to the satisfaction ofthe Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, the subject site shall be evaluated by a cultural review team which shall include a professional archaeologist, a representative of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, the site owner, and the Port Angeles Department of Community Development. This team shall determine the extent of excavation monitoring for the project during the permit review process. As an alternative, the applicant may volunteer to have an approved archaeologist on site during any excavation in lieu of a review by the aforementioned cultural team. If during an excavation that by decision of the cultural review team occurs without an approved archaeologist on-site, any phenomena of possible archaeological interest are uncovered, the developer shall stop such work and provide for a site inspection and evaluation by a professional archaeologist to ensure that all possible valuable archaeological data is properly salvaged. .
