Re: Cultural Resource Assessment for the Proposed Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf Resort, Jefferson County,
Washington
This letter is in regards to the cultural resource assessment portion of the Daft BIS for Pleasant Harbor Marina and Golf
'tcsort project. This project falls within the Usual and accustomed area of the Skokomish/Twana Tribe. This Cultural
—andscape was and still is utilized by Skokomish for spiritual and cultural purposes. The Tribe is in concurrence with
the report completed by Western Shore Heritage Services, Inc in regards to the high probability of discovery in regards
to cultural resources and archaeological deposits. The Tribe also feels that the project proponent should engage in
consultation with The Skokomish Tribe and other appropriate agencies in regards to discussion, planning and
implementation of an appropriate program of systematic archaeological field investigations for the subject property.
It is always the Tribes interest to ensure that impacts to cultural resources, remains and deposits are avoided when
possible to ensure the integrity of its traditional territories.
In closing the Tribe looks forward to hearing back in regards to our comments and suggestions.
Sincerely,
Kris Miller
Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Skokomish Tribe
