Provide an inventory of the project site and surrounding Weyerhaeuser
campus to evaluate the property for its historical and architectural
significance. The inventory shall be conducted by qualified cultural

reviews be submitted electronically. Correspondence, reports,

ii. To assist in conducting a cultural resource survey and inventory
effort, DAHP has developed guidelines, including requirements for
survey reports, which is available on their website.
A previous response was provided to the City on January 25th, 2018 requesting
clarification for this requirement More so, we requested the city retract this requirement
for accepting the application. In response, you provided an email (2/07/2018) which
concurs that a Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation
Analysis is not an application completeness item. Furthermore, your email explained that
previous Greenline projects received similar comments from DAHP requesting this
analysis. We have taken the liberty to have a Cultural Resource Archival Study prepared
which meets the requirements of DAHP. Please feel free to forward to DAHP as part of the
SEPA packet
