SCJ Contract Amendment #2 Public Works Director Jim Kelly reviewed contract amendment #2 with SCJ Alliance for the design of the 211th Place Corridor Restoration project.

The Utilities Department uses Teledyne Isco flow meters for open channel flow metering for the sewer and storm departments, staying with a common based flow meter greatly facilitates maintenance and data programming. City Council previously issued a Sole Source Resolution for Teledyne Isco flow metering equipment and services, but this resolution has expired. The City’s Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) uses an Aquionics Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system to treat effluent prior to discharge in the Stillaguamish River. A sister company to Aquionics, Berson Ultraviolet Systems, produces the ultraviolet bulbs specified and warrantied to meet the NPDES permit required level of disinfection. To be fully compliant with the WRF’s NPDES permit, the only bulbs the City can procure for the UV system are Berson UV bulbs sold exclusively by Aquionics. City Council previously issued a Sole Source Resolution for Berson Ultraviolet Systems, but this resolution has expired. Staff is requesting that Council reissue Teledyne Isco a sole source resolution for open channel flow metering equipment and services and reissue a sole source resolution to Aquionics. ALTERNATIVES: Remand to staff for additional information.
I move to approve the sole source resolutions for Aquionics and Teledyne ISCO and authorize the Mayor to sign them.
RESOLUTION NO. 2024-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON TO WAIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF NEW ULTRAVIOLET BULBS FOR USE BY THE CITY OF ARLINGTON
WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Arlington Wastewater Department treats wastewater for all of its
customers; and
WHEREAS, to maintain the consistency of parts, ensure the warranty of the UV System
at the Wastewater Treatment plant, and avoid the cost associated with repairs to the system
that may occur using non genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts,
a supplier of OEM ultraviolet bulbs is required; and
WHEREAS, Aquionics (a sister company to Berson, the original manufacturer) has
provided the City of Arlington with its existing UV bulbs, and Aquionics is the sole source
representative authorized to sell UV Bulbs; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.23.352(9) permits the waiving of bidding requirements for the

services which are subject to special market conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Arlington, as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council of the City of Arlington finds that replacing ultraviolet

The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 clarified the original intent of Congress, with respect to Title VI

Specific Assurances
More specifically, and without limiting the above general Assurance, the Recipient agrees with and gives

2
to a "facility") operated, or will be (with regard to a "program") conducted in compliance with all

2. The Recipient will insert the following notification in all solicitations for bids, Requests For

Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000d to 2000d-4) and the
Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders that it will affirmatively ensure that any

enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in response
to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race,
color, or national origin in consideration for an award."
3. The Recipient will insert the clauses of Appendix A and E of this Assurance in every contract or
agreement subject to the Acts and the Regulations.
4. The Recipient will insert the clauses of Appendix B of this Assurance, as a covenant running with
the land, in any deed from the United States effecting or recording a transfer of real property,

facility, the Assurance will extend to the entire facility and facilities operated in connection

structures or improvements thereon, in which case the Assurance obligates the Recipient, or
any transferee for the longer of the following periods:
3
a. the period during which the property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial
assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or
benefits; or
b. the period during which the Recipient retains ownership or possession of the property.
9. The Recipient will provide for such methods of administration for the program as are found by
the Secretary of Transportation or the official to whom he/she delegates specific authority to
give reasonable guarantee that it, other recipients, sub-recipients, sub-grantees, contractors,
subcontractors, consultants, transferees, successors in interest, and other participants of
Federal financial assistance under such program will comply with all requirements imposed or
pursuant to the Acts, the Regulations, and this Assurance.

loans, contracts, agreements, property, and/or discounts, or other Federal-aid and Federal financial
assistance extended after the date hereof to the recipients by the U.S. Department of Transportation
under the Federal Highway Administration. This ASSURANCE is binding on Washington State

Dear Stakeholder –
Design of the Smokey Point Boulevard Corridor project (174th St to 200th St) must account for
current and future users of the corridor. This includes vehicles, freight, transit, pedestrians and
bicycles. Below is a summary of key considerations, current and future, of the bicycle user
needs that helped design a safe pathway through this corridor. As an involved leader in a local
or regional bike user group, we value your opinion and how this bike path was selected and is
laid out. Will you please review the attached Bike Pathway design document and provide
feedback. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at 360-403-5306.
Bike Route Alignment Design Alternatives Facts
Residential and business growth is increasing throughout Arlington, with much of it occurring
in south Arlington and the Smokey Point area. To plan for this, the City of Arlington is
designing improvements to Smokey Point Boulevard from 174th Place NE to 200th Street NE.
These improvements will support future growth and help create a community corridor and
neighborhood feel for small businesses and residents. Once design is complete, planned
upgrades will be constructed incrementally.
Key facts:
•The existing conditions of Smokey Point Blvd between 174th and 200th, are not up to the
standards of the future vision of this area. The City would like to make this section of
roadway a neighborhood street with a sense of place.
•There is a lack of non-motorized (pedestrian and bicycle) facilities and this project is
working to address those. The area has outgrown how the corridor is currently being used.
•The City is working to develop a design that integrates the plan for the future while
accommodating growth without giving up character.
•The City is focusing on mobility for all modes of travel, improving safety, and increasing
opportunity for access to existing and future facilities (trails, businesses, etc.).
•Key design features:
o Part of the design will encourage freight traffic to use the adjacent Airport Blvd.
o A single travel through-lane is being developed for vehicle movement through the
corridor
o Roundabouts will be installed at intersections to slow speeds and reduce collisions
o Bike lanes will be included on the widened sidewalks of the roundabouts
o Back-in parking stalls will included in throughout the corridor, these parking facilities
will be separated from the travel lanes by a six-foot wide median. A parking drive
isle will provide access to these parking stalls.
o Bikes lanes will share the parking drive aisle through use of sharrows,
o There are five 12-foot wide multiuse trails that will connect to the Corridor. These
five 12-foot wide multiuse trails connect to the Arlington trail network.

Attached to this Bike Pathway Stakeholder Outreach are the five alternatives that were
developed to meet the current and future bicyclist needs of this corridor. Each alternative was
weighed for six criteria that met current and future needs, a summary of the criteria evaluation
for each alternative is in the below table.
Criteria Alt #1 Alt #2 Alt #3 Alt #4 Alt #5
1. ROW Considerations/limit property take YES YES YES YES YES
2. Separated from main travel lane YES YES NO YES YES
3. Easy transition through roundabouts NO NO YES YES NO
4. Easy access to business NO NO NO YES NO
5. Easy access to Arlington trail network1 NO NO NO YES NO
6. Minimizes integration with pedestrians YES NO YES YES YES
Note 1 – Please see attached graphic showing connections between Smoky Point Corridor and Arlington

Project Overview
Project Description
This project will provide preliminary design engineering for the improvements of the 169th St NE connecting
road and multimodal improvements from 40th Ave NE and 43rd Ave NE within Arlington's Cascade Industrial
Center. This will serve as an alternative route for freight and vehicles from the main state highway, SR 531, east
of 169th ST NE. The proposed improvements on 169th ST NE are to include a new two travel lane roadway, 12-
foot-wide shared use path on one side of the road and a five foot wide sidewalk with five foot wide tree lined
planter strip on the other side of the road. Drainage improvements include converting an existing urban ditch to
a new underground culvert below the roadway.
Project Location
The proposed project is located along 169th St NE between the Smokey Point Boulevard and 169th St NE
intersection and the 43rd Ave NE and 168th St NE intersection at Arlington’s Cascade Industrial Center in
Arlington, WA.
EXHIBIT M
Existing Conditions
The proposed project site currently consists of an urban ditch along the proposed 169th St NE alignment. The
entire site is pervious grass surface. A detention pond is located at the south end of 43rd Ave NE within the
project site. Commercial developments to the north (Walmart and Glacier West Self Storage – Smokey Point),
and two 2-lane roads that abruptly end on the east and west side of the existing ditch. A wetland also exists
downstream of the urban ditch to the southeast of the project area. The proposed alignment, running east and
west, meets 43rd Ave NE, running north and south, at a 3-leg intersection at the east terminus of the project. The
existing urban ditch collects runoff from both the Walmart property and the Glacier West Self Storage property.
Surface runoff from the Walmart property flows through 2 separate treatment systems, both of which
eventually release to the urban ditch currently on the project site. One system is comprised of a wet/detention
pond that discharges to a Contech Stormwater Solutions, Inc. StormFilter vault prior to being discharged to the
drainage ditch. In the second system, runoff drains to 3 separate rain gardens for treatment. Following
treatment, runoff is discharged to an underground detention system consisting of Storm Tech chambers prior to
being discharged to the drainage ditch.
All surface runoff from the Glacier West Self Storage property flows to the existing infiltration/detention pond
on the storage unit property prior to discharging to the urban ditch.
Critical Areas
Man-made wetlands are located to the southeast of the site. The wetlands will not be impacted with the new
roadway footprint, however, runoff flowing to the wetlands in existing conditions will be impacted. Water
quality and flow control will be required for all surface runoff from the new impervious area added with the
extension of 169th St NE. Offsite flows from the Walmart and Glacier West Self Storage properties receive water
quality and flow control treatment prior to entering the proposed culvert and will not require any additional
treatment prior to being released upstream of the wetlands.
Proposed Conditions
In the proposed configuration, 169th St NE will be extended on top of the existing urban ditch and the ditch will
be replaced with a concrete culvert underneath the new roadway. The existing pond at the south end of 43rd
Ave NE will be impacted with the new roadway footprint and will need to be relocated to the south of its
existing location.
Offsite flows from the Walmart and Glacier West Self Storage properties will maintain their existing drainage
pattern and flow to the head of a new culvert that will replace the existing ditch. Runoff from the new portion of
169th St NE will be captured through inlets and storm pipe located along the south curb line and will discharge to
a flow splitter. From the flow splitter, the volume of runoff requiring water quality treatment will flow to a water
quality vault prior to discharging to a detention vault for flow control. The remaining volume of water not
flowing to the water quality vault will flow directly to the detention vault. From the detention vault, all runoff
from the new roadway footprint will eventually discharge to a riprap lined channel upstream of the existing
wetland.
EXHIBIT M
Minimum Requirements
MR1-Preparation of Stormwater Site Plans
Stormwater site plans are required and will be prepared as part of this project.
MR2 – Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(S WPPP)
A SWPPP is required for the construction of this project. This design effort is for conceptual purposes only and
therefore, a SWPPP will not be completed at this time.
MR3 – Source Control of Pollution
There are no known illicit discharges to the storm sewer system on the site. Runoff entering the site from
adjacent commercial properties receives treatment prior to entering the site. All runoff from the new pollutant
generating surfaces within the project site will receive treatment prior to being discharge from the site.
MR4 – Preservation of Natural Drainage Systems and
Ou tfalls
Natural drainage patterns will be maintained to the maximum extent practicable and discharges from the
project site will occur as close to their natural location as possible. In existing conditions, offsite flows entering
the site are conveyed to the existing urban ditch. In post-developed conditions, a culvert will replace the existing
urban ditch and all offsite stormwater entering the project site will be routed to the head of the culvert to
maintain existing drainage patterns. For both pre-developed and post-developed conditions, all runoff flowing
through the site eventually discharges to the wetlands located southeast of the project site.
MR5 – On-Site Stormwater Management
This project will employ stormwater management BMPs in accordance with the thresholds, standards, and lists
to infiltrate, disperse, and retain stormwater runoff on site that are stated in the Department of Ecology
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW, 2019) to the maximum extent feasible
without causing flooding or erosion impacts. This is described in more detail in the Onsite Permanent
Stormwater Control Plan section of this report.
MR6 – Runoff Treatment
A water quality treatment vault is the proposed method of treatment for this project. The proposed dimensions
are 6 feet by 12 feet with 14 cartridges. The proposed treatment system is offline and downstream of a flow
splitter. See Figure 1 below for the WWHM (2012) off-line design flow rates for this project.
EXHIBIT M
Figure 1 – Water Quality Design Flow Rates
MR7 – Flow Control
Flow control will be required for this project. The current proposal recommends routing onsite runoff to the
relocated pond at the south end of 43rd Avenue NE and upsizing that pond to accept additional flows. This
approach requires further discussion with the City and additional information regarding the existing wetlands,
soils, and high water table.
EXHIBIT M
MR8 – Wetlands Protection
Wetlands are located to the southeast of the project site. All runoff from the project site and the offsite areas
flowing to the project site eventually discharges to this wetland. A critical areas analysis is being completed as
part of this project to determine the level of wetland protection required for this project.
MR9 – Operation and Maintenance
An operation and maintenance manual is required for the construction of this project. This design effort is for
conceptual purposes only and therefore., a SWPPP will not be completed at this time.
Offsite Analysis
Offsite flows for the properties listed below have been considered and included in the analysis of this project.
Drainage reports for the properties were reviewed in preparation for this report and the discharges from each
site as stated in the reports are also listed below.
Affinity At Arlington Senior Housing : 100% Infiltration on site. No flows onto site. The drainage report for this
property is provided in Appendix C of this report.
Walmart : 1.458128 cfs flow rate discharging from wet pond to existing urban ditch for 100-year storm &
0.913004 cfs flow rate discharging from underground detention facility to existing urban ditch for 100-year
storm. The drainage report for this property is provided in Appendix C of this report.
Amazon: 100% infiltration on site. No flows onto site. The drainage report for this property is provided in
Appendix C of this report.
Glacier West Self Storage : No stormwater report on file. A “mock” model was developed in WWHM to
determine a discharge flow rate from the infiltration pond on site. The model assumed an infiltration rate of 1
in/hr. The WWHM report is provided in Appendix B of this report and the assumed discharge flow rate from the
pond to the existing urban ditch is 0.001349 CFS.
Offsite Conveyance Sizing
All offsite flows to the project site already receive treatment for flow control and water quality prior to
discharging to the project site. Therefore, it is recommended that these flows are kept separate from onsite
runoff and routed through the site through closed conveyance. A culvert was proposed for offsite flows and was
sized using Storm Sewer Analysis (SSA) version 2020. Although the City of Arlington Engineering Standards only
require designing conveyance for the 25-year storm, the 100-year storm was used for this project due to the
sensitive nature of the site and its surroundings. The SSA analysis revealed that a 2 feet wide by 1 foot deep
culvert would have the capacity to accept the offsite flows, however, the recommendation is to provide a 4 foot
wide by 2 foot deep culvert in order to provide added capacity and the ability to maintain flow during potential
flood events. This also will provide an adequate factor of safety given the lack of data on the pond discharging
from the Glacier West Self Storage property.
EXHIBIT M
Onsite Permanent Stormwater Control Plan
Catch basins are proposed along the south curb line of the new roadway to capture all surface runoff from the
new extension of 169th St NE. The new roadway, sidewalk, planter strip, and shared-use path are all shown
sloping toward the south gutter to capture all runoff requiring treatment in the proposed conveyance system.
This conveyance system will transport runoff to the east end of the project and discharge it to a flow splitter.
The standard flow rate for an off-line water quality BMP for this project is 0.1723 cfs. This is the flow rate that
will discharge to a filter cartridge water quality treatment vault prior to entering the detention vault for flow
control. The remaining runoff not requiring water quality treatment will discharge to a detention vault for flow
control. Ultimately, all runoff will discharge from the detention vault to a rip-rap lined channel upstream of the
existing wetland that is located southeast of the project site. The surface runoff from the new impervious
surfaces on the site will not mix with any offsite flows prior to receiving water quality and flow control
treatment.
Offsite Permanent Stormwater Control Plan
This project will replace the existing urban ditch running down the proposed alignment of the 169th ST NE
extension with a concrete culvert. In existing conditions, offsite flows entering the site are conveyed to the
existing urban ditch. In post-developed conditions, all offsite stormwater entering the project site will be routed
to the head of the culvert to maintain existing drainage patterns and will remain separated from surface runoff
within the new impervious surfaces footprint until leaving the project site at the same rip rap lined channel
described above, upstream of the existing wetlands to the southeast of the project site.
Conclusion
This project proposed the extend 169th ST NE from just east of Smokey Point Boulevard , starting at the 169th St
NE extension at Affinity of Arlington, east to the existing intersection at 43rd Ave NE and 168th St NE. The new
roadway alignment sits on top of an existing urban ditch. A culvert is proposed to replace the existing urban
ditch to maintain existing drainage patterns for offsite flows onto the project site. A new conveyance system is
proposed within the roadway footprint to capture all runoff from the new impervious surfaces and transport it
to treatment facilities prior to discharging upstream of the existing wetlands southeast of the project site. Flow
control and water quality treatment are required for this project in addition to wetland protection. All offsite
surface water flowing onto the project site receives treatment prior to entering the site and will be conveyed
through a closed system (culvert) without mixing with onsite surface water prior to being discharged upstream
of the existing wetlands. All onsite runoff will be captured and conveyed through a closed conveyance system to
water quality and flow control facilities on site prior to being discharged at the same rip-rap lined channel
upstream of the existing wetlands as the offsite flows.

Management Summary
On March 31, 2023, Legacy Anthropology was contacted by Dan Ireland, PE Principal at SCJ
Alliance, requesting an archaeological survey for the City of Arlington 211th Pl NE – 67th Ave NE
to SR 530 (P-02.571) Project. The City of Arlington is planning the reconstruction and widening
of the road, which is a designated freight route, to accommodate the 350,000 tons of freight
trucked over the road every year. This project has funding from the Transportation
Improvement Board, a state agency, which means that it must comply with Governor’s
Executive Order 21-02 regarding the management of cultural resources.
The Area of Potential Effects (APE) consists of the 2,200-foot-long segment of 211th Place NE,
which extends between State Route (SR) 530 to 67th Avenue, within the city limits of the City of
Arlington, in Snohomish County, Washington, in Sections 10 and 11, in Township 31 North and
Range 5 East. Included in the APE is the 211th Place NE right-of-way on the north and south
side of the road (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The APE is approximately 8.5 acres in area, including
the paved road. At the western end of the Project, a new roundabout was recently installed at the
intersection of 211th Place NE and SR 530. The edge of the new pavement was treated as the
edge of the APE because no planned ground disturbance was planned at the new roundabout.
211th Place NE is a designated freight/truck route, connecting SR 530 to 67th Ave and the Old
Town Arlington to the Cascade Industrial Center. This road facilitates the delivery of 350,000
tons of freight every year, but the road and pedestrian walkways are deteriorated. The City of
Arlington plans to reconstruct the entire road segment, which will include stabilizing the road
prism, improving storm water drainage, installation of guardrails and lighting, and the
construction of a 12-foot-wide multi-use path on the south side of the road.
On August 10 and 11, 2023, Legacy Anthropology, LLC conducted an archaeological
assessment, including pedestrian survey and subsurface testing, throughout the testable areas of
the right-of-way on the north and south sides of the road, avoiding buried utilities and steep
slopes. The survey was conducted by Susan C. Larsen, M.A., who meets the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for a Professional Archaeologist, Nicholas E. Gouette, B.A., and student
Carl Pine, of Legacy Anthropology. One archaeological site was identified within the project
boundary, a low-density precontact lithic scatter (45SN879), and one historic property was
recorded that is outside of the project boundary (Property ID 731528).
Protected cultural resources were identified during this survey. Based on the
positive result of the archaeological survey we recommend the following:
• That the proposed Project is not anticipated to have adverse effects on the
documented historic properties adjacent to the APE, including Property ID
731528.
• That the proposed Project will impact precontact archaeological site
45SN879.
• That a monitoring permit be issued by DAHP for ground disturbing work
occurring within site 45SN879
• That all ground disturbing work within a 200-foot radius around 45SN879
be monitored by a Professional Archaeologist
• That a detailed Archaeological Monitoring Plan be generated and applied to
the areas to be monitored
• That an Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) be followed during ground
disturbing activities outside of the 200-foot buffer of precontact
archaeological site 45SN879 (see Appendix 1)

1.0 Introduction
On March 31, 2023, Legacy Anthropology was contacted by Dan Ireland, PE Principal at SCJ
Alliance, requesting an archaeological survey for the City of Arlington 211th Pl NE – 67th Ave NE
to SR 530 (P-02.571) Project. The City of Arlington is planning the reconstruction and widening
of the road, which is a designated freight route, to accommodate the 350,000 tons of freight
trucked over the road every year. This project has funding from the Transportation
Improvement Board, a state agency, which means that it must comply with Governor’s
Executive Order 21-02 regarding the management of cultural resources.
On August 10 and 11, 2023, Legacy Anthropology, LLC conducted an archaeological
assessment, including pedestrian survey and subsurface testing, throughout the testable areas of
the right-of-way on the north and south sides of the road, avoiding buried utilities and steep
slopes. The survey was conducted by Susan C. Larsen, M.A., who meets the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for a Professional Archaeologist, Nicholas E. Gouette, B.A., and student
Carl Pine, of Legacy Anthropology. One archaeological site was identified within the project
boundary, a low-density precontact lithic scatter (45SN879), and one historic property was
recorded that is outside of the project boundary (Property ID 731528). The Archaeological Site
Form can be found in Appendix 2.

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) consists of the 2,200-foot-long segment of 211th Place NE,
which extends between State Route (SR) 530 to 67th Avenue, within the city limits of the City of
Arlington, in Snohomish County, Washington, in Sections 10 and 11, in Township 31 North and
Range 5 East. Included in the APE is the 211th Place NE right-of-way on the north and south
side of the road (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The APE is approximately 8.5 acres in area, including
the paved road. At the western end of the Project, a new roundabout was recently installed at the
intersection of 211th Place NE and SR 530. The edge of the new pavement was treated as the
edge of the APE because no planned ground disturbance was planned at the new roundabout.
1.2 Project Description
211th Place NE is a designated freight/truck route, connecting SR 530 to 67th Ave and the Old
Town Arlington to the Cascade Industrial Center. This road facilitates the delivery of 350,000
tons of freight every year, but the road and pedestrian walkways are deteriorated. The City of
Arlington plans to reconstruct the entire road segment, which will include stabilizing the road
prism, improving storm water drainage, installation of guardrails and lighting, and the
construction of a 12-foot-wide multi-use path on the south side of the road.

1.3 Regulatory Background
This project is being funded by the Transportation Improvement Board, a state agency, and
needs to be in compliance with the Governor’s Executive Order 21-02 (formerly 05-05). The
Executive Order 21-02 states that agencies shall consult with the Department of Archaeology
and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and affected Tribes on the potential effects on cultural
resources early in the project planning process for proposed state-funded construction or
acquisition projects that will not undergo Section 106 review. The state agencies shall take all
reasonable action to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to archaeological and historic
archaeological sites and cultural resources. This can include a study completed prior to the
expenditure of any state funds for construction or purchase, and consultation with DAHP and
affected Tribes to avoid or minimize harm to cultural resources.
Additionally, the City of Arlington Municipal Code Chapter 20.98.220- Substantial Authority
section (d)(D) states that the city designates and adopts from the State Environmental
Protection Act as the basis for the city’s exercise of authority to preserve important historic,
cultural, and natural aspects of heritage.
1.4 Tribal Consultation
The Area of Potential Effects is located on the traditional land of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe,
Snoqualmie Tribe, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians,
Suquamish Tribe, Sauk-Suiattle Tribe, and Tulalip Tribes. Tribal Historic Preservation Officers
(THPO) and Cultural Resources staff were contacted regarding concerns about this project.
Names of contacts are listed in Table 1.

2.0 Environmental Setting
The environmental setting of an area has an influence on the location of cultural resources.
Archaeological sites are often found in proximity to water resources and on habitable
landscapes. Landscapes change over time due to depositional or erosional events that can alter
habitability. The shape of the land can interfere with accessibility to resources, and over time a
stable living surface can be buried by depositional events. Table 2 contains environmental
information specific to the Area of Potential Effects (APE) that shows the relationship between
the land and the archaeological sites nearby.

2.1 Geomorphology and Regional Depositional History
The APE is situated within the Puget Lowland region of Western Washington. This region was
glaciated by a lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet near the end of the Pleistocene Epoch. The glacial
lobe created a depressional lowland between the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, extending
south as far as the Chehalis River near Olympia to the south (Thorson 1980). Within the last two
million years Earth has undergone at least 20 cooling and warming cycles, where temperatures
fluctuated 10° C (50° F), causing the growth and recession of glaciers (Wicander and Monroe
2010:360).
The Quaternary Period is marked by the start of the Pleistocene Epoch, also known as the Ice
Age, 1.8 million years ago. Four major cooling periods have been identified in North America
within the Pleistocene: the Wisconsinan, Illinoian, Kansan, and Nebraskan Glaciations
(Wicander and Monroe 2010:359). These periods represent major glacial advances, with
episodes of warming between each one. The most recent cooling period, the Wisconsinan lasted
from between 70-90 thousand years ago (ka) to 10 ka, reaching its maximum between 21 and 18
ka. The end of this cooling period marks the start of the Holocene Epoch (Easterbrook
1999:370; Grotzinger and Jordan 2010:590; Wicander and Monroe 2010:356).
During the glacial periods of the Quaternary, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet— one of two continental
ice sheets covering North America— advanced and retreated along the west coast of Canada,
moving from southeastern Alaska south to the states of Washington and Montana (Booth et al.
2004). Six major advances have been identified: Early Pleistocene glaciations (Orting, Stuck,
and Salmon Springs) and Late Pleistocene glaciations (Double Bluff, Possession, and Fraser)
(Booth et al. 2004:23; Easterbrook 1992, Troost 2016:121). The Fraser Glaciation is correlated
with the Late Wisconsinan cooling period and is made up of multiple stades: the Evans Creek
Stade (25–15 ka), the Vashon Stade (13.6–16 ka), the Everson Interstade, and the Sumas Stade
(11.3–10 ka). The Vashon Stade represents the maximum advance of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet
during the Fraser Glaciation, followed by the Everson Interstade, and a brief glacial advance
during the Sumas Stade (Blunt et al. 1987; Booth et al. 2004:23; Easterbrook 1992; Thorson
1980).

With each glacial cycle, the Puget Lowland was shaped by the carving of glacial advance and the
deposition of sediment with glacial melting. The weight of the Puget Lobe’s glacial ice caused the
Earth’s crust to depress into the mantle, lowering its elevation. Since the retreat of the Puget
Lobe, at the end of the Sumas Stade, the Puget Lowland has been slowly rebounding (Booth et
al. 2004). As a glacier advances, it abrades from the bottoms and sides of valleys, picking up
sediment. This sediment is carried on top of the glacier and within it. The sediments include
clasts-sizes from boulders to very fine sediments eroded from rocks scraping the ground below
the glacier (Grotzinger and Jordan 2010:237). As a glacier starts to melt, the entrained sediment
load gets deposited in distinct ways. Glacial till is deposited directly due to the glacier melting in
place. Till deposited into a body of water is water-laid till (Grotzinger and Jordan 2010: 239).
Till deposits generally consist of a heterogeneous load of rock and sediment clasts of all sizes.
Glacial outwash is sediment deposited by meltwater streams that form at the toe of the glacier as
it melts (Grotzinger and Jordan 2010: 585). Large outwash plains blanket the southern Puget
Lowland south of Tacoma and Olympia, and west of Shelton. Another large outwash plain exists
in the northeast Puget Lowland.
2.2 Arlington Environmental History
The APE is located along the edge of a river terrace directly south of Stillaguamish River
mainstem. The Stillaguamish River basin has been shaped by a combination of glacial and
fluvial activities. The Stillaguamish River mainstem originates at the Arlington Junction, at the
confluence of the North Fork and South Fork Stillaguamish River and flows westward to its
terminus at Port Susan.
2.2.1 Depositional and Geomorphic History
The entire Stillaguamish River drains an area of 1,800 square kilometers (km) of area within the
North Cascades and the Puget Lowland (Nowacki and Grossman 2020). The river is made up of
a North Fork and a South Fork that converge at the Arlington Junction into the westward
flowing Stillaguamish Mainstem. The Mainstem is 28 kilometers long from its confluence to
Port Susan, where the Stillaguamish River discharges into the Puget Sound. The North and
South Forks of the Stillaguamish have incised into Cascade Range bedrock, originally cut by the
alpine glaciers of the Puget Lobe of the Cordilleran. Downstream of the mountains, within the
Puget Lowlands, the Stillaguamish River has found a path through sequences of advance
outwash, glacial till, and retreat outwash (Anderson et al. 2017; Benda et al. 1992; Booth et al.
2003). Incising by the Mainstem Stillaguamish River has created escarpments through glacial
drift within the Puget Lowland, while also contributing its own geologic deposits. Within the
APE, younger alluvium overlies the glacial drift (Booth et al. 2003).
2.2.2 Local Geology and Soils
Soils are classified based on the horizonal layers that develop over time through various soil-
forming processes, labelled O, A, E, B, or C (Boggs 2012:14). Each of these layers contains a
distinctive chemistry through weathering processes, and the transport of particles downward by
water infiltration. The soil texture is determined by the clast sizes within it. Clasts are divided by
size into classifications like gravel, sand, silt, clay. Sand and silt are large enough that they can
be made up of whole minerals. Clay is a very fine particle size that is made up of either fine
minerals, called phyllosilicates, or the eroded parts of minerals usually larger than clay that have
been ground into a clay-sized particle through glacial activity (Boggs 2012:14; Schaetzl and
Anderson 2005:9–11). A soil that is largely dominated by a particle size is named by that clast,
like sand. A soil that is not dominated by either of the particle sizes is called a loam. A loam can
also be called a clay loam or silt loam, for example, if the soil sample appears to have more of
one particle size but is not largely dominated by it (Schaetzl and Anderson 2005:11–12).

The APE is situated within a deposit of the Marysville Sand Member (Qvrm) consisting of well-
drained outwash sand that is stratified to massive and contains some fine gravels, silt, and clay.
It was deposited by meltwater during the receding of the Vashon Glacier. The unit is underlain
by glacial till (Minard 1985). The soils mapped within the APE consist of the Everett very
gravelly sandy loam, Alderwood-Everett gravelly sandy loam, and Lynwood loamy sand. The
Everett very gravelly sandy loam is mapped at the eastern edge of the APE. This somewhat
excessively drained soil forms in a parent material of sandy and gravelly glacial outwash on
kames, moraines, and eskers. Its profile is comprised of 0-1 inches (in) O-Horizon decomposed
plant material, 1-3 in A-Horizon very gravelly sandy loam, 3-24 in B-Horizon very gravelly
loamy sand, and 34-60 in C-Horizon very gravelly loamy sand and extremely cobbly coarse
sand. The Alderwood-Everett gravelly sandy loam is mapped throughout the center of the APE.
This somewhat excessively drained soil forms in a parent material of glacial outwash on
terraces. Its profile is comprised of 0-6 in A-Horizon gravelly ashy sandy loam, 6-18 in B-
Horizon very gravelly ashy sandy loam, and 18-60 in C-Horizon extremely gravelly sand. The
Lynwood loamy sand is mapped in the western quarter of the APE. This somewhat excessively
drained soil forms in a parent material of glacial outwash in outwash plains. Its profile is
comprised of 0-1 in A-Horizon loamy sand, 1-29 in B-Horizon loamy sand, and 29-60 in C-
Horizon sand (Soil Survey Staff 2020).
2.3 Current and Historical Vegetation
In the last 20,000 years, the Puget Lowland environment has shifted from cold glacial to
warming in the Holocene. With the warming, new plant communities have formed. From 21 to
17 ka, during the advance and retreat of the Puget Lobe, the Puget Trough housed grass, sedge
(family: Cyperaceae), a diverse array of plants from the genus Artemisia, tundra herbs, and tree
species Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii), lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), subalpine fir
(Abies lasiocarpa), and Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia). During this time temperatures within the
Puget Trough were between 5–7 degrees Celsius (C) colder than today (Whitlock 1992).
Between 16-15 ka, the southern Puget Trough was approximately 2–6 degrees C, which
supported a plant community made up of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), Engelmann spruce,
and mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) (Whitlock 1992). As the glaciers continued to
retreat the Puget Trough became home to evergreen coniferous trees from genus Pseudotsuga,
red alder (Alnus rubra), and ferns from the genus Pteridum. Between 5–6 ka, the wet
environment allowed for the spread of coniferous trees from the genus Thuja, Western hemlock
(Tsuga heterophylla), Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), and Western white pine (Pinus
monticola), which become more common later in the Holocene (Whitlock 1992).
2.4 Stillaguamish River Watershed
The APE is located within the Department of Ecology’s Water Resource Inventory Area 5
(WRIA 5), Stillaguamish Watershed. The Stillaguamish Watershed lies between the Lower
Skagit and Snohomish Watersheds to the north and south. The watershed encompasses the
North and South Fork Stillaguamish rivers and their tributaries, and the Lower Mainstream
Stillaguamish, where the North and South Forks converge to the west of Arlington and drain
into the Puget Sound. The watershed is 700 square mi. in area, and extends from sea level, east
to and elevation of 6,854 ft. above sea level. The watershed experiences recharge with 150 in. of
annual rainfall at the higher elevations (Encyclopedia of Puget Sound 2023).
2.5 Arlington Natural Resources
Wetlands are an abundant natural resource near the Stillaguamish River. Historically, the area
has contained approximately 29,133 acres of wetlands, but only has about 6,266 acres of
remaining wetlands that are degrading. Loss of wetlands surrounding the Stillaguamish River

has occurred because of the expansion of agriculture, urban expansion, forestry, and invasive
plants and animals (Scofield and Pope 2019).
Fish remain an important resource in the Stillaguamish River. The populations of fish, especially
salmon, have been in decline, including the chinook, pink, coho, chum, and steelhead that
historically spawn in the river. The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians operates two fish hatcheries
to increase supplies of salmon in the Stillaguamish River (Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians
2020a). Fish species typically identified in the area include chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta),
coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), Steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), sea run
cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkia clarkii), and resident trout (WDFW 2023).

3.0 Cultural Setting
Archaeology is a discipline that has long benefitted, socially and economically, on the cultural
history of the Indigenous people of North America. Archaeologists have historically controlled
the academic narrative about Indigenous cultures and identities (Atalay 2006). To Indigenous
people, time is not always thought of on a linear scale, although archaeology is frequently
recorded in a linear way without the input of Indigenous people (Colwell-Chanthaphonh, et al.
2010). As such, we acknowledge that the following accounts of Coast Salish history are mostly
those of non-Indigenous archaeologists with little to no input by Indigenous people.
3.1 Coast Salish Life Prior to Colonization
Prior to the arrival of colonial settlers to the Northwest Coast, Coast Salish Indigenous people
thrived in the years following the Vashon Stade in a resource-rich environment. According to the
archaeological record, Coast Salish people lived in socially stratified societies with dense
populations and hunter-gatherer, household-based economies. Archaeologists have studied the
material cultural of Coast Salish people as a culture area defined by language grouping,
extending from southern Alaska to the Oregon Coast.
Coast Salish people hunted, fished, and collected a wide variety of plant material for food and
skilled crafts. Their technology included bone and antler working, woodwork, ground stone, and
flaked lithics. The Coast Salish people were extremely skilled at woodworking, constructing
timber houses, canoes, monumental art, containers, and basketry. Permanent winter villages
were commonly used by the same groups of people every year, with large, kin-based households,
and food stored from earlier hunting and gathering seasons (Ames and Maschner 1999:13–48;
Matson and Coupland 1995:2–25). Based on archaeological data, the period between glaciation
and the present has been broken into a linear timescale for purposes of academic study.
The Archaic Period, named by archaeologists, began during the Everson Interstade (13.6–11.3
thousand years BP), continued during the last, minor glaciation of the Puget Lowland— the
Sumas Stade (11.3–10 thousand years BP)—, and advanced into the Holocene (10,000 years BP
to present). Due to the age of this period, many places people lived are now underwater or
covered in dense vegetation in the uplands. A large coastal plain existed south of the Puget
Sound prior to 10,000 years BP, when the sea levels started to rise rapidly as the glaciers
receded. The end of the Pleistocene was marked by a warmer climate and migrating plants and
animals (Ames and Maschner 1999:67–123).
By 6,400 years BP the climate cooled slightly, as sea levels stabilized to near modern levels.
During this period, archaeologists have found some of the earliest shell middens known to
science. (Ames and Maschner 1999:88). Shell middens can range in size up to over thousands of
square meters. The dense concentration of shell creates an alkaline environment that preserves
bone and antler but not plant material (Ames and Maschner 1999:89–93). Early Pacific Coast
Salish people created carving tools, spoons, and stones adorned with motifs of people,
mammals, birds, backbones, and ribs (Ames and Maschner 1999:228–229).
The Middle Pacific Period is marked by evidence of plank houses and villages. Plank houses are
indicative in archaeology of a more permanent dwelling (Ames and Maschner 1999:93). Coast
Salish people during this time fished for salmon, using bone and antler tools and composite
toggling harpoons to hunt sea otters, seals, and whales (Ames and Maschner 1999:93). Some of
the recorded archaeological sites within the Gulf of Georgia region show distinction from one
another, so archaeologists have divided the Middle Pacific into two phases based on these
characteristics: The Locarno Beach Phase and the Marpole Phase.

A warmer and drier period from 850 to 700 years BP was followed by the Little Ice Age, a wetter
and colder interval after 650 BP (Ames and Maschner 1999:94). Coast Salish people created
ground slate points and blades that were smaller and triangular at this time. Houses during this
period were sometimes constructed with ditches and embankments (Ames and Maschner
1999:106–107). At about 500 BP, the archaeological record shows Coast Salish people used
more bone tools than lithics, and single-row house villages are more commonly identified by
archaeologists (Ames and Maschner 1999:160).
3.1.1 People of the Arlington Area Prior to Colonization
The Area of Potential Effects (APE) is within the traditional territory of the Southern Coast
Salish people including, but not limited to, the stuləgʷábš (Stillaguamish), saʔqʷəbixʷ-
suyaƛ̕ʔbixʷ (Sauk-Suiattle), and Tulalip Tribes, made up of the sduhúbš (Snohomish),
sdukʷálbixʷ (Snoqualmie), sqáʒət (Skagit), Samish, in addition to the Stillaguamish and Suiattle
(Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe 2022; Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians 2020b; Suttles 1990; Tulalip
Tribes 2016).
The Southern Coast Salish were Lushootseed speakers who were seasonal hunter-gatherers.
They lived in permanent winter villages (Suttles and Lane 1990). Permanent villages contained
longhouses 100 to 200 feet in length, made from cedar planks, carved house posts, shed roofs,
with cattail mats for insulation (Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians 2020b; Tulalip Tribes 2016). In
the spring, summer, and fall, they moved up and down the rivers and their tributaries to utilize
fish runs, game patterns, and crop yields. Seasonal camps were often assembled and
disassembled in permanent locations that were known to large groups of families (Bruseth
1972:7; Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians 2020b). Temporary mat houses were set up in the
seasonal locations. The houses were made from cattails over pole supports (Tulalip Tribes
2016).
Canoes were constructed for different uses: the Trolling Canoe was for a single person, the Large
Canoe could hold between six and 15 people, and were primarily used for travelling, and the
Shovel-Nose Canoe was a flat-bottomed canoe with a similar bow and stern used for travel and
fishing in the rivers (Tulalip Tribes 2016).
Fish were a staple food, including salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, smelt, herring, trout, and cod
(Tulalip Tribes 2016). Weirs, traps, trawl nets, dip nets, gaff hooks, harpoons, and leisters were
all used in the river and its tributaries to procure fish. Deer, elk, waterfowl, shellfish, and small
mammals were all hunted to supplement their diet, using bow and arrows, deadfalls, snares,
spears, and nets. Other foods included sprouts, roots and bulbs, berries, and nuts (Bruseth
1972, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians 2020b; Suttles and Lane 1990; Tulalip Tribes 2016).
A 1926 deposition by James Dorsey (Quil-Que-Kadam), a stuləgʷábš man who lived on the
Stillaguamish River his entire life, detailed stuləgʷábš villages according to his own recollection
and accounts told to him by elders. James Dorsey was born in 1850 and gave the deposition at
age 76. He did not speak English, so his words were translated. James Dorsey’s account of life
on the Stillaguamish River is among the oldest recorded by Euro-descended settlers. He recalled
villages, cemeteries, and fishing locations along the Stillaguamish River, as the stuləgʷábš people
lived relatively undisturbed until the 1870s (Lane 1973). Some of the villages from James
Dorsey’s account are in Table 3.

3.2 European Contact and the Treaty of Point Elliot
Life for the Southern Coast Salish changed drastically after contact with European settlers. The
introduction of European diseases, tools, material types, religion, and lifestyle all had great
repercussions to the Indigenous people’s way of life (Boyd 1990, Marino 1990). European
diseases such as smallpox, malaria, measles, influenza, dysentery, whooping cough, typhus, and
typhoid fever were introduced to Indigenous peoples and devastated them, killing a
conservatively estimated 80% of the population on the Northwest Coast of North America (Boyd
1990, Boyd 1999).
In 1853, Congress organized the Washington Territory and appointed Isaac I. Stevens as the
governor of the newly formed territory. On January 22, 1855, Governor Stevens met with
representatives of the Duwamish, Suquamish, Snoqualmie, Snohomish, Stillaguamish,
Swinomish, Skagit, Lummi, and other tribes and signed the Treaty of Point Elliot (Marino
1990). Over five million acres of land were ceded by the tribes, and in return the U.S.

government promised that they would maintain their right of self-governance, be able to fish at
their accustomed places, and hunt and gather at any unclaimed land. The tribes were also
promised education, healthcare, housing, and payment for their lands and homes. During the
negotiations, the tribes were at a significant disadvantage, as Governor Stevens’ interpreter,
Benjamin F. Shaw, spoke only in the Chinook Jargon, which then had to be retranslated into
Lushootseed by John Taylor, a Snohomish interpreter (Hibulb Cultural Center & Natural
History Preserve 2021).
The unclaimed lands, which the Treaty of Point Elliot allowed as hunting and gathering
locations for the Indigenous peoples, diminished as more white settlers traveled to the newly
formed Washington Territory. This limited the food supply and way of life for the Indigenous
tribes. Also, they were not paid as promised for their lands and homes. The schools and
hospitals that were promised were not provided for decades after the treaty (Hibulb Cultural
Center & Natural History Preserve 2021). This is in line with the U.S. government’s pattern of
false promises and the unmutual recension of agreements with the Indigenous people of North
America. Between 1887 and 1934, over two-thirds of all reservation lands in the United States
of America (more than 90 million acres) were taken by the U.S. government and sold to settlers
(National Congress of American Indians 2021).
3.3 Historic Arlington
The APE is located within the city limits of the City of Arlington, approximately four miles
southwest of the convergence of the North Fork and South Fork of the Stillaguamish River. The
first European-descended settlers to arrive to present-day Arlington in 1851, were prospectors
looking for ore in the river. A rough wagon road was constructed following the trail that brought
settlers from Marysville, opening the area for more arrivals. The first store was situated near the
river fork and was opened in 1887 by Nels K. Tyete and Nils C. Johnson. The White House Hotel
opened the same year. In the spring of 1890, two towns were platted near each other, Arlington
and Haller City. In 1903 the City of Arlington incorporated both towns after Haller City
businessmen agreed that Arlington was in a more advantageous location than Haller City
(Figure 3) (City of Arlington 2021).
Following World War I, the City of Arlington continued to thrive in the agricultural, dairy
farming, and shingle milling industries. During the Great Depression, many people found
themselves unemployed, and in 1933 the Civilian Conservation Corps opened a camp near
Darrington to employ men for civil work. An airstrip was constructed in Arlington in 1934 and
was leased to the US Navy as a reinforcement to the training facilities in Seattle. Two US Navy
Squadrons were stationed at the airstrip during WWII, and after the war ended the airfield fell
back into civilian management (Oakley 2007).
After World War II, the City of Arlington’s economy relied on logging and agriculture. By the
1980s, Arlington experienced a population boom as people moved into the area for affordable
housing while working in Everett and Marysville (Oakley 2007). In 1999, the community of
Smokey Point, south of Arlington, was annexed into the city (City of Arlington 2021). Today, the
City of Arlington continues to grow as a commercial and residential center.

3.3.1 Indigenous People in the Present-Day
In 1974 the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians petitioned the federal government for federal
recognition as a Tribe. As Esther Ross put it in 1975, the Tribe would dwindle without
recognition until it no longer exists, saying, “The Stillaguamish Tribe is unable to wait any
longer” (The Spokesman-Review 1975). On October 27, 1976, the Stillaguamish Tribe of
Indians gained federal recognition. In 2014 the Tribe was finally granted 64 acres of land for a
reservation in Arlington, near the Tribal headquarters (Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians 2020b).
Tulalip Tribes underwent organization under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, and had a
Constitution and Bylaws approved in 1936. There is now a seven member Tulalip Board of
Directors that acts as the governing body. The Tribe is currently made up of 4,900 members,
and provides services such as early learning academy, high education assistance, health and
dental care, and a senior retirement home (Tulalip Tribes 2016).
3.3.2 History of the Area of Potential Effects
The APE was first mapped by the U.S. General Land Office in 1875. At that time, the APE was
situated just south of a wetland below the river terrace, approximately two miles south of the
Stillaguamish River. Ba Quab (Kent’s Prairie) was mapped about a half mile to the southeast of
the APE (Figure 4). The vegetation mapped within the APE consisted of hemlock, alder, and
spruce (U.S. Surveyor General 1875). The first land patents that overlap with the APE were
issued to, Oliver P. Cummings in 1889, Henrich Sinn in 1889, and Frederick Funk in 1891 (U.S.
Bureau of Land Management 1889a, 1889b, 1891).
By 1910, the APE was within the footprint of a road that was mapped in the alignment present
day SR 530, and rather than curving north towards Arlington as it does in the present-day, the
EXHIBIT N

road followed the path of present-day 211th Place NE (Figure 5). A railroad was mapped parallel
to the eastern edge of 67th Avenue NE (Anderson Map Company 1910; USGS 1911). The land on
the north side of the road within APE was claimed by August Lammers and W. J. Brounty. The
land on the south side of the road was claimed by August Lammers and John J. Meyers
(Anderson Map Company 1910). In 1914, the section of road between Silvana and Arlington
was named Permanent Highway 10 and was constructed with concrete pavement (DAHP 2014).
In 1927, the land south of the road within the APE was subdivided and the north side of the
road was claimed by A. Olson and G. Hamilton (Metsker Map Company 1927). Aerial imagery
from 1933 missed the APE, but agricultural fields covered the area north of the APE (Figure 6)
(Puget Sound River History Project 2023). In 1936, little had changed within the APE (Metsker
Map Company 1936). By 1941, present-day 211th Place NE was still a part present-day SR 530,
which was labeled as Primary State Highway 1E, a heavy-duty road. Houses were mapped along
the southern side of the road, and at the northeastern corner (USGS 1941). In 1952, the south
side of the road was further subdivided, and the north side of the road was claimed by Dora B.
Warren and W. M. Kroeze (Kroll Map Company 1952). Aerial imagery from 1953 showed that
the southern APE was lined with houses, and the ridgeline north of the APE was forested, with
agricultural fields in the Stillaguamish River floodplain north of the ridgeline. (NETROnline
2023). Little had changed by 1960 (Metsker Map Company 1960; USGS 1956). In 1963,
Primary State Highway 1E was renamed State Route 530 (Prahl 1965).
By 1975, the present-day section of SR 530 that turns north towards Arlington was built, and
the road making up the APE was no longer part of the highway. The land on the north side of the
APE was claimed by Dan C. Grewe and John Verhey (Metsker Map Company 1975). In the
1980s and 1990s, the APE was mapped as 211th Place NE and the land northeast of the APE was
subdivided (Metsker Map Company 198x, 1992). Aerial imagery between the 1990s and 2010s
showed increased residential development along the south side of the APE (NETROnline 2023).

4.0 Archaeological Review
A review of the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation’s (DAHP) database of
recorded archaeological sites and previous archaeological work within a one-mile radius of the
Area of Potential Effects (APE) was conducted prior to field work. According to DAHP’s
Predictive Model, the APE is at a moderate to high risk for the presence of cultural resources.
4.1 Recorded Archaeological Sites
There were three recorded archaeological sites within a one-mile (mi) radius of the APE and
seven within a 1.5-mile (mi) radius, which are detailed in Table 4 and below.

45SN766: The Jensen Lithic Scatter (45SN766) was a precontact lithic material site,
comprised of lithic flakes, tools, debitage, and Fire modified rock (FMR), 0.52 mi southeast of
the APE. The lithic artifacts included one partial flake with use-wear, one broken projectile point
of white, translucent cryptocrystalline silicate, one bifacially flaked artifact, debitage flakes, and
FMR. The artifacts were associated with the Olcott Phase based on material, size, bifacial edge,
cortex, and patina. The site spanned an area that was 40 meters (m) long and 1 m wide. The
artifacts were found between 35 and 60 centimeters (cm) depth below surface (dbs) within B-
Horizon soils (Osiensky 2020).
45SN444: Historic refuse scatter site 45SN444 was identified 0.95 mi north of the APE. The
site was comprised of historic debris and a privy feature. Eighty artifacts were identified,
including brick, glass fragments, square-headed nails, a 1909 coin, and a green, jadeite bowl
fragment. Aerial images showed that at least one building was present at the site prior to 1933.
It was demolished between 1956 and 1961 (Smith 2008).
45SN486: Precontact lithic isolate site 45SN486 was a basalt thumbnail scraper located 1.0 mi
southeast of the APE. It was found in the upper 20 cm of a shovel test. No other artifacts were
identified in the area (Carrilho 2009).
45SN409: Historic refuse scatter site 45SN409 was identified 1.05 mi north of the APE. The
scatter spanned an area 100 ft long and 70 ft wide and was comprised of 133 artifacts and a
privy feature. The artifacts were dated between 1890s and 1930s. The artifacts were comprised
of architectural and domestic refuse (Carrilho 2006).
45SN795: Site 45SN795 is comprised of historic pier remnants of the old State Route 9 bridge.
They are mapped on both sides of the river. The DAHP’s database had no inventory for this
resource.

45SN026: Precontact lithic material site 45SN026 was identified by Myrick and Smith (1961)
1.44 mi south of the APE. The site was located on a flat terrace, a few yards from a high ridge.
Artifacts were identified scattered across several acres on the ground surface. The site’s
dimensions were 500 yards long and 100 yards wide. In 1961, the area was actively being used
for agriculture. Identified artifacts included lithic choppers, scrapers, bifacially worked points,
lithic fragments, and one serrated point. Obermayr (1991) revisited the site but did not identify
any cultural material. Most of the site had been covered in fill, leveled, or was overgrown with
grass.
45SN391: Historic agriculture site 45SN391 was comprised of a historic drainage ditch located
1.5 mi east of the APE. The ditch was 67 m long, 6 m wide, and 2 m deep. It was part of a large
irrigation network that linked with the Stillaguamish River 400 m away. The ditch was dated
between 1890 and 1910 when the property was owned by Moran & Company (Ozbun 2004).
4.2 Cultural Resource Surveys

Drayton Archaeological Research (Chambers 2010a) performed a cultural resources assessment
along 67th Avenue, directly east of the APE. The cultural resources assessment included a
pedestrian survey of the area and the inspection of soil piles throughout the project. No artifacts
were identified during the inspection of the soil piles. During the pedestrian survey, eight
historic properties were identified, including a segment of the historic SLS&S Railway. Historic
Property Inventories (HPIs) were created for the properties that were previously unidentified. It
was recommended that the project proceed without archaeological oversight.
Archaeological Investigations Northwest, Inc. (Ozbun 2005) performed a cultural resources
assessment prior to pipeline improvements 150 ft east of the APE. The assessment included
background research and a site visit. It was determined that the project would have no adverse
effects on historic properties. No further archaeological oversight was recommended.
ASM Affiliates (Iversen 2014a) performed archaeological documentation of a buried railroad
spur along 67th Avenue, 250 ft northeast of the APE. The buried spur was associated with the
SLS&S Railway but was not considered a contributing element to the National Register of
Historic Places. The identified section of buried railroad was 110 ft long and 5 ft wide. No
further archaeological oversight was recommended.
Environmental Science Associates (Wilson et al. 2013) performed a cultural resources
assessment along Prairie Creek 0.4 mi south of the APE. The cultural resources assessment
included background research, pedestrian survey, and subsurface testing. Five shovel tests were
dug, all of which disturbed by previous construction activities. No cultural resources were
identified. It was recommended that the project proceed with an archaeological monitor onsite
during all ground disturbing work.
ASM Affiliates (Iversen 2014b) performed archaeological monitoring tasks during the ground
disturbing work 0.4 mi south of the APE. The work included the replacement of a culvert, Prairie
Creek channel realignments, and sediment removal from the channel. No cultural resources
were identified during this work.
Equinox Research and Consulting International, Inc (Bush and Wilmoth 2020) performed a
cultural resources assessment on four acres 0.42 mi south of the APE. The area was inspected
via a pedestrian survey and the digging of 20 shovel tests. Identified sediments included
imported and local fill over glacial outwash. No cultural resources were identified, and no
further archaeological oversight was recommended.
ASM Affiliates (Iversen and Osiensky 2020a) conducted a cultural resources assessment prior to
the construction of an apartment complex 0.5 mi southeast of the APE. Thirty-nine shovel tests
were dug within the 3.2-acre project area. Of these, eight were positive for precontact lithic
material, including FMR, lithic flakes, and lithic tools. The site was designated the Jensen Lithic
Scatter (45SN766). One artifact, a bifacially flaked cobble, was interpreted to be from the Olcott

Phase. All artifacts were identified in a disturbed context. It was recommended that a DAHP
Archaeological Monitoring Permit be obtained and followed prior to ground disturbing work for
the project.
Caldera Archaeology (Larsen et al. 2016) investigated seven adjoining parcels 0.61 mi southeast
of the APE. The project included the construction of 17 multi-family apartment buildings on
eight acres. Thirty shovel tests were dug throughout the project area, all of which were negative
for cultural material. No further archaeological oversight was recommended.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Kanaby and Kelly 2012) performed a cultural resources
assessment of 29 places along the Stillaguamish River and Cook Slough, including a section of
the Stillaguamish River 0.7 mi north of the APE. The investigated areas within one mile of the
APE were negative for cultural material. Historic archaeological site 45SN601 and 45SN602
were identified during this project.
ASM Affiliates (Iversen and Osiensky 2020b) conducted a cultural resources assessment of
12.54 acres 0.8 mi south of the APE. Thirty shovel tests were dug at an interval of 20-30 meters.
All of the shovel tests were negative for cultural material. No further archaeological oversight
was recommended for the project.
Drayton Archaeology (Baldwin et al. 2023) performed a cultural resources assessment of 14-
acres of land 0.84 mi southeast of the APE, prior to residential development. Twenty-nine
shovel tests were dug, all of which were negative for cultural material. No further archaeological
oversight was recommended.
Northwest Archaeological Associates, Inc. (Smith et al. 2008) performed a cultural resources
assessment of 26 acres located 0.84 mi north of the APE along the southern bank of the
Stillaguamish River. Eighty-eight shovel tests were dug, and ten excavated trenches were
monitored. Five historic properties were identified and documented. In addition, historic refuse
scatter site 45SN444 was identified. It was recommended that the project avoid excavating
within the boundaries of site 45SN444. If unavoidable, any excavations within the site boundary
required a DAHP excavation permit.
Northwest Archaeological Associates, Inc. (Piper and Smith 2009) conducted a cultural
resources assessment prior to power pole and access road upgrades along a 39-mile stretch,
including a section 1.0 mi southeast of the APE. The project spanned 579.2 acres, and ten
archaeological sites were identified throughout the project. Precontact lithic isolate side
45SN486 was identified 1.0 mi southeast of the APE. This site was comprised of a basalt
thumbnail scraper that was identified at the edge of the uplands south of Arlington within the
top 20 cm of sediment. It was recommended that fill should be imported to the area to avoid
nearby ground disturbance.
4.3 Historic Properties
There at 498 inventoried Historic Property within a one-mile radius of the APE. None of these
properties are on the National Register of Historic Places. Eight of the historic properties that
have been documented lie adjacent to the APE, to the north and to the south. These properties
are detailed below in Table 6. There is one historic-aged property located at 6516 211th Place
NE, which has not been previously recorded. The Historic Property Inventory Form that Legacy
Anthropology, LLC produced for 6516 211th Place NE can be found the WISAARD application.

There is one recorded cemetery within one mile of the APE. The Arlington Municipal Cemetery
is located 0.5 mi south of the APE. It was established in 1904 as the Harwood Cemetery and
contains many of the graves of the early Arlington and Haller City residents. Over time,
neighboring parcels were added to the cemetery; it now encompasses over 30 acres. The
cemetery was run by a non-profit cemetery association until 1999 when the City of Arlington
took over its maintenance. In 2018, the cemetery contained 7,803 burials. The cemetery is in
active use (Historic Cemetery Preservation Capital Grant Program 2018).

5.0 Methods
Prior to fieldwork, a thorough review of the geological and cultural history was conducted, as
well as a review of previous archaeological projects and recorded archaeological sites. The
Snohomish County assessor parcel map portal, SCOPI, was used to identify parcel information.
Additionally, historic maps, including GLO, Metsker, Anderson, Kroll, and USGS Quadrangle
maps, as well as historic aerial imagery of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) were inspected.
Field methods are outlined below.
5.1 Objectives and Expectations
Based on the Project’s geologic, cultural, and archaeological background, we consider the APE to
be at a high risk for the presence of precontact and historic cultural resources. The objective of
the survey, which included pedestrian and subsurface investigations, was to sample enough of
the APE to identify the presence of an archaeological site.
The APE is situated along the ridgeline of a high river terrace above the Stillaguamish River
floodplain, and 211th Place NE provides a link between these two landforms. Ba Quab (Kent’s
Prairie), the location of precontact archaeological site 45SN766, was mapped about a half mile
to the southeast of the APE, and a wetland was mapped on the 1875 GLO map at the base of the
ridgeline. The ethnographically noted village of Skabalko was approximately 1.2 miles north of
the APE. This location on a flat, livable surface of a river terrace near wetland and prairie
resources makes it very likely that precontact material evidence of the Indigenous people’s use
of the area since time immemorial is present within the APE. The segment of road now named
211th Place NE was first built between 1875 and 1910. The chance of encountering historic
cultural resources is also high, due to this being an early access road to the City of Arlington.
5.2 Field Methods
On August 10 and 11, 2023, Legacy Anthropology, LLC conducted an archaeological
assessment, including pedestrian survey and subsurface testing, throughout the testable areas of
the right-of-way on the north and south sides of the road, avoiding buried utilities and steep
slopes. The survey was conducted by Susan C. Larsen, M.A., who meets the Secretary of the
Interior’s Standards for a Professional Archaeologist, Nicholas E. Gouette, B.A., and student
Carl Pine, of Legacy Anthropology. The weather conditions were sunny. The APE spanned the
whole 2,200-foot-long segment of 211th Place NE between State Route (SR) 530 and 67th
Avenue.
5.2.1 Pedestrian Survey
The pedestrian survey consisted of walking a transect along each side of the road, paying careful
attention to exposed soils and all material on the ground surface that could indicate the presence
of cultural resources. Sediments were carefully inspected for the presence of cultural material.
Utility locate paint, indicating the presence of buried utilities was noted and mapped.
5.2.2 Subsurface Testing
The subsurface survey included the excavation of 41 shovel tests within the APE (Figure 7 and
Figure 8). The shovel tests were placed systematically and judgmentally. The survey was
originally designed to place shovel tests on both sides of the road at a staggered 30-meter (m)
interval. However, due to the extensive amount of buried utilities and sidewalk on the south side
of the road and the steep slope on the north side, the 30-m interval was not always feasible. At
the western third of the APE, testing was not possible on the south side of the road, so the north
side was tested at a 20-m interval. In total, 26 shovel tests were dug on the north side of the
road and 15 were dug on the south side.

Each shovel test was excavated to at least 100 centimeters depth below surface or until reaching
glacial material, with a width of about 50 centimeters. The use of a four-inch, hand-driven
bucket auger was attempted to achieve greater depth, however the sediment was so dry that the
material fell out of the auger before it was brought out of the hole. All sediments excavated from
each shovel test were sieved through a quarter-inch mesh in a standing screen. Sediments and
objects that did not pass through the screen were carefully examined. Descriptions and depths of
sediments and soils exposed in each shovel test wall were documented and photographed
(Appendix 3). Sediment and soil types were interpreted using the USDA’s Soil Texture Triangle,
the Munsell Color System, and the literature outlined in the Environmental Setting section. The
profile of each shovel test was photographed. After documentation, each shovel test was
backfilled completely with material removed from it.

6.0 Archaeological Survey Results
Total Subsurface Tests 41
Positive Subsurface Tests 3
Negative Subsurface Tests 38
6.1 Pedestrian Survey
A pedestrian survey of the APE, comprised of the right-of-way along both sides of 211th Place
NE between 67th Avenue and State Route (SR) 530, was performed. The road ran along the
ridgeline of a river terrace and sloped down onto the Stillaguamish River floodplain at the road’s
western end. The road ran east to west but was slightly skewed towards southeast to northwest.
Observed flora included: Western red cedar (Thuja plicata), big leaf maple (Acer
macrophyllum), Eastern pine (Pinus strobus), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), and
lawn grasses.
The very eastern edge of the APE, east of 67th Avenue NE, was comprised of an active railroad
prism. From 67th Avenue NE to 67th Drive NE, the road was relatively flat and was aligned east
to west. The road prism was built up approximately 1.5-2 feet (ft) from the original ground
surface through this area (Figure 9). The level ground of the river terrace flanked both sides of
the road, until reaching the gravel driveway at 6823 211th Place NE, where the north edge of the
road sloped down steeply at the river terrace’s edge. The steep northern edge in this area was
covered in Himalayan blackberries and the flat portions were covered with lawn grasses and
landscaping mulch. A paved sidewalk extended along the southern edge of the road (Figure 10).
The right-of-way edge was irregular in shape. In some areas along the southern edge, the
sidewalk took up the entire right-of-way, but some sections had spaces of grass between the
sidewalk’s edge and the right of way edge. Buried utilities were marked on both sides of the
road, but most were on the south side. Little sediment was visible at the ground surface in this
area except for dark grayish brown, imported angular gravels.
Between 67th Drive NE and 66th Avenue NE, the road began to slope downward southeast to
northwest towards the Stillaguamish River floodplain. The northern edge of the road continued
to run along the ridgeline of the river terrace, and the ground between the road’s edge and the
river terrace’s edge was very narrow. The southern edge of the road had been graded below the
natural level of the terrace. At 67th Drive NE on the south side of the road, there was an
approximately 2 ft tall bank, and at 66th Avenue NE, the bank was approximately 6.5 ft tall on
the south side (Figure 11). The banks observed were at an approximately 45-degree slope. These
banks indicated that the road had been cut into the edge of the river terrace when the road was
originally built. The sidewalk that ran along the southern edge of the road ran northwest from
67th Drive NE and stopped at 66th Avenue NE. Most of the buried utilities were marked on the
south side of the road. Yellowish brown, pebble-rich sandy loam was visible at the ground
surface along the banks on the south side of the road. This sediment was interpreted to be
glacial outwash.
From 66th Avenue NE to the new pavement at the roundabout at 211th Place NE and SR 530, the
road sloped down to the Stillaguamish River floodplain. Rather than following the ridgeline of
the river terrace, which turned to the southwest, this section of the APE headed west. Rather
than a cut, this section of road was mostly a fill that linked the top of the terrace to the
floodplain below (Figure 12). The entire APE was comprised of a built-up road prism that sloped
down at both sides. At the very northwestern corner of the APE, some of the flat floodplain was
identified and the road turned slightly to the north towards SR 530. Buried utilities ran along
the southern edge of the road, and at its western end, there was a graveled section of 211th Place

NE that spurred due west. The northern edge of the road was slightly steeper and asphalt
chunks were visible. Sediments visible at the ground surface in this area included yellowish
brown, pebble-rich sandy loam near 66th Avenue NE and dark grayish brown, imported angular
gravels to the west.
The historic properties identified adjacent to the APE during the background research for this
project were observed during the pedestrian survey. These properties included: 6924, 6822,
6900, and 6810 211th Place NE and 6708 212th Street Northeast. Historic Property Inventories
existed for all these properties except 6516 211th Place NE. This property was not accessible
from 211th Place NE, and only the back corner of the roof was visible from the road, as it was
obscured by a fence overgrown with blackberries. The property was accessible from an alley
from 66th Avenue NE (Figure 13). No historic resources were identified within the APE.
No cultural resources were identified during the pedestrian survey of the APE. One historic
property was documented outside the APE, Property ID 731528.

6.2 Subsurface Survey
A total of 41 shovel tests were dug throughout the APE. Precontact lithic artifacts were identified
in three of the shovel tests (STs 4, 17, and 20), and the other 38 shovel tests were negative for
cultural material. Four distinct sediment profiles were identified within the APE. All of the
shovel tests displayed evidence of previous disturbance. The average depth of termination for
the shovel tests was 81 cm dbs.
The first sediment profile was identified at the eastern portion of the APE (Figure 14). At the
south side of the road, this profile was identified between 67th Avenue NE and 67th Drive NE. At
the north side of the road, it was identified between 67th Avenue NE and the gravel driveway to
6823 211th Place NE. This sediment profile was identified in 17 shovel tests (STs 1-5, 8, 17-23,
and 37-40). It was comprised of three layers. The first layer was imported fill comprised of
grayish brown to dark grayish brown, angular gravel-rich sandy loam with an abrupt basal
transition. This first layer often contained modern refuse including glass fragments, ceramic
fragments, concrete chunks, nails, and plastic. The second layer was a relic B-horizon soil
comprised of brown to dark yellowish brown rounded to sub-rounded gravelly, sandy loam with
charcoal flecks. The three lithic artifacts identified within the APE were identified in this layer.
The basal transition of this layer was usually gradual and intact. However, the basal transition to
the third layer was abrupt and disturbed in STs 2, 37, and 38. This layer also appeared disturbed
and contained modern refuse in ST 18. The third layer was C-Horizon and R-Horizon soil from a
parent material of glacial outwash comprised of dark yellowish brown to grayish brown,
rounded gravel-to-cobble-rich sand to sandy loam. This third layer was absent in the profiles of
STs 8, 17, 18, 20, 22, and 38 because the shovel tests were terminated before reaching it. For
details of precontact lithic site 45SN879, which was identified in shovel tests that exhibited this
first sediment profile, see section 6.2.1 below.
The second sediment profile was identified throughout the western portion of the APE (Figure
15). On the south side of the road, it was identified from 67th Drive NE to west of 66th Avenue
NE. On the north side of the road, it was identified from the gravel driveway at 6823 211th Place
NE to where the APE dips into the Stillaguamish River floodplain just east of SR 530. It was
identified in 15 shovel tests (STs 11-16, 24-29, 31, and 33-34). This sediment profile was
comprised of two layers. The first layer was imported fill consisting of dark grayish brown,
angular gravel-rich sandy loam with an abrupt basal transition. It often contained modern
refuse and was the same as the first layer identified in the first sediment profile. The second
layer of this sediment profile was glacial outwash comprised of yellowish brown to grayish
brown, rounded gravel-to-cobble-rich sand to sandy loam. This second layer appeared intact to
the east and disturbed to the west. In shovel tests west of 66th Avenue NE (STs 27-29, 31 and
33-34), this second layer was disturbed and contributed to the road prism that was built-up
towards SR 530.
The third sediment profile was identified at the western edge of the APE on the north side of
211th Place NE (Figure 16). It was identified in two shovel tests (STs 35 and 36). It was
comprised of two to three layers. One of the shovel tests (ST 35) had a top layer of imported fill
comprised of dark grayish brown, angular gravel-rich sandy loam with an abrupt basal
transition. The next layer was a dark grayish brown sandy clay to sandy clay loam. This layer
was disturbed and contained modern refuse in one of the shovel tests (ST 36). The third layer
was a dark brown to brown, gravel-to-cobble-rich sandy loam that contained modern refuse in
one of the shovel tests (ST 36).
The fourth sediment profile was identified throughout the APE (Figure 17). It was identified in
seven shovel tests (6-7, 9-10, 30, 32, and 41). It contained one layer comprised of dark grayish
brown gravel-to-cobble-rich sandy loam. This layer was comprised of disturbed local and

imported fill and often contained modern refuse including chunks of asphalt and glass
fragments.
The first sediment profile, which was identified at the eastern portion of the APE, was consistent
with a layer of imported and disturbed local fill on top of horizons of Alderwood-Everett gravely
sandy loam, which was previously mapped at the center of the APE. In this first sediment
profile, no A-horizon soil was identified, indicating that it was likely removed with any organic
material when 211th Place NE was paved. Besides the disturbed upper portion of this profile, the
rest appeared relatively intact with a gradual basal transition of the B-Horizon. It was in this
intact B-horizon that the precontact lithic artifacts of archaeological site 45SN879 were
identified. The second sediment profile was consistent with imported and disturbed local fill on
top of intact and disturbed glacial outwash deposits of the Arlington Sand Member. Shovel tests
with this profile appeared more disturbed in the western portion of the APE. The third sediment
profile was consistent with disturbed imported and local fill. The layer of sandy clay to sandy
clay loam in this third profile appeared to be disturbed, imported local alluvium. The fourth
sediment profile was consistent with the imported and disturbed local fill that was identified in
the top layer of all the other profiles.
For full shovel test notes, see Appendix 3 of this document.

6.2.1 Precontact Archaeological Site 45SN879
Precontact site 45SN879 was identified within the eastern half of the APE and was comprised of
three lithic artifacts. The artifacts were identified in three shovel tests (ST 4, 17, and 20). Shovel
tests 4 and 20 were located three meters (m) apart on the south side of the road, within the
right-of-way at Parcel No. 1051100301600. Shovel test 17 was located on the north side of the
road, within the right-of-way at 6905 211th Place NE. The site spanned an area 103 m long (east
to west) and 25 m wide (north to south). The road prism of 211th Place NE bisects the site, and
its construction likely disturbed it. Delineation of the site boundaries was limited by the paved
road, buried utilities, and the narrow right-of-way.
The three lithic artifacts were all made from fine-grained igneous rocks. One of the flakes was a
primary flake (Figure 18), and two were secondary flakes (Figure 19 and Figure 20). All three
flakes were found within a layer of dark yellowish brown sandy loam at depths between 50 and
70 cm dbs. The artifacts all displayed bulbs of percussion, working edges, and an old patina. The
primary flake displayed radial fissures. The secondary flakes displayed flake scars on their
dorsal sides. The layers above the artifacts displayed evidence of previous disturbance, but the
context of the artifacts and below appeared relatively intact.
For more details on site 45SN879 see Appendix 2 below.

7.0 Conclusions and Recommendations
On August 10 and 11, 2023, Legacy Anthropology, LLC conducted an archaeological assessment
for the City of Arlington 211th Pl NE – 67th Ave NE to SR 530 (P-02.571) Project, including
pedestrian survey and subsurface testing, throughout the testable areas of the right-of-way on
the north and south sides of the road, avoiding buried utilities and steep slopes. The survey was
conducted by Susan C. Larsen, M.A., who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for a
Professional Archaeologist, Nicholas E. Gouette, B.A., and student Carl Pine, of Legacy
Anthropology. Four sediment profiles were identified within the Area of Potential Effects (APE).
The first sediment profile, which was identified at the eastern portion of the APE, was consistent
with a layer of imported and disturbed local fill on top of horizons of Alderwood-Everett gravely
sandy loam. The second sediment profile was consistent with imported and disturbed local fill
on top of intact and disturbed glacial outwash deposits of the Arlington Sand Member. The third
sediment profile was consistent with disturbed imported and local fill. The fourth sediment
profile was consistent with the imported and disturbed local fill that was identified in the top
layer of all the other profiles.
During background research and the pedestrian survey, nine historic properties were identified
adjacent to the APE. None of these historic properties were eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places. During the subsurface testing, three flaked lithic artifacts,
representing a low-density lithic scatter (45SN879), were identified within three separate shovel
tests over a 100-meter area. The precontact lithic artifacts of site 45SN879 were comprised of
one primary flake and two secondary flakes. These artifacts were found within an intact context,
although sediments above the layer in which they were found were disturbed during previous
road and residential development. Precontact archaeological site 45SN879 is bisected by 211th
Place NE, and its construction likely disturbed the site. Protected cultural resources were
identified during this survey. Based on the positive result of the archaeological
survey we recommend the following:
• That the proposed Project is not anticipated to have adverse effects on the
documented historic properties adjacent to the APE, including Property ID
731528.
• That the proposed Project will impact precontact archaeological site
45SN879.
• That a monitoring permit be issued by DAHP for ground disturbing work
occurring within site 45SN879
• That all ground disturbing work within a 200-foot radius around 45SN879
be monitored by a Professional Archaeologist
• That a detailed Archaeological Monitoring Plan be generated and applied to
the areas to be monitored
• That an Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) be followed during ground
disturbing activities outside of the 200-foot buffer of precontact
archaeological site 45SN879 (see Appendix 1)

distinct alone or in combination race categories, while those who reported three races were counted in three categories, and

combination category as well as in the Black or African American alone or in combination category. Consequently, the sum of
all alone or in combination categories equals the number of races reported (i.e., responses), which exceeds the total
population.

Introduction:
It is our pleasure to provide the City of Arlington (City) with this amendment to change the stormwater design at
the 90% design level to ultimately reduce project costs and reduce the impact on adjacent residential
developments. This option was proposed early in the design process but was dismissed due to the requirement
of a whole parcel acquisition. The following phases of work include the additional work defined:
Phase 1 Project Management
Project Management
Incorporating amendment and subconsultant-added work:
1) Meeting to discuss pond options.
2) Subconsultant amendment.
3) Incorporating amendment.
Understanding
1) This will not have an effect on other general project management elements already incorporated into
the scope of work.
Deliverables
1) Concept pond exhibits
Phase 7 Cultural Resources
1) Cultural Resources: Additional Cultural Services are required to satisfy the Department of Archeological
and Historic Program requirements based on our area of potential impact expanded to incorporate the
pond area. Legacy Anthropology has provided an amendment for these additional services that are
attached to this amendment. The addition of the additional cultural work is not estimated to have an

Phase 10 90% Design and Plan Preparation
A major change to one design project element after 60% design resulted in multiple changes in the whole design
documentation, plans, specifications, estimates, and costs. Below is a summary of the required changes SCJ was
required to implement to change from three infiltration galleries to a single pond and submit for 90% milestone.
Task 4 Pond Design
1) Remove the current infiltration gallery design and details from the construction plans.
2) Change the removal plan sheets and expand them to incorporate the pond area.
3) Change the alignment plan sheets and expand them to incorporate the pond area.
4) Change the paving plan sheets and expand them to incorporate the pond area.
5) Merge a new topographic survey surface into the project and re-grade the pond to match existing
conditions.
6) Change the drainage plan sheets and expand them to incorporate the pond area.
7) Change the landscape plan sheets and expand them to incorporate the pond area.
8) Change the specifications to remove the gallery elements.
9) Change the cost estimate by removing quantity elements and adding pond elements.
10) Change Wall 1 limits and details.
11) Increasing stormwater treatment system to a single unit instead of three.
12) Change the drainage report to reflect the change in treatment methods.
Understanding
1) City will be obtaining additional surveys for the pond area so SCJ can confirm catch limits.
2) City is reviewing the site for critical areas (wetlands and buffers).
3) Previous geotechnical work will suffice for pond information.
4) Discharge to the southwest corner of SR 530/211th intersection is an acceptable emergency
overflow.
Deliverables
1) Updated 90% Construction Plan Sheets
2) Updated 90% Special Provisions.
3) Updated 90% Cost Estimate
4) Updated Drainage Report

City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill NB #3 Attachment February 20, 2024
Ordinance
Public Works; Jim Kelly, Director EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A BUDGETED AMOUNT: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Ordinance amending AMC Chapter 6.05 relating to solid waste collection and disposal.
The City of Arlington has an agreement with Waste Management for the collection and processing of all residential refuse, recyclables, and compostables from all residential dwellings. Some residents leave Arlington for extended periods of time (i.e. Snowbirds) and want to cancel their garbage service while they are away. However, the current wording of Arlington Municipal Code 6.05.015 Mandatory Collection states that each residence must have “solid waste collection”, it does not provide a variance for service interruption and Waste Management is confused on how to approach temporary service interruption requests. The revision to AMC 6.05 will allow Arlington residents to temporarily suspend Waste Management collection services when they are out of town for an extended period. ALTERNATIVES: Remand to staff for additional information.
I move to approve the ordinance amending Arlington Municipal Code Chapter 6.05 and authorize the Mayor to sign it.
