Title:

B: 165 - Compliance Documentation and Clearance: floodplain restoration and enhancement project: PA-8-10.3 (Big 4)

Description:

Notes: EC compliance (including the HIP 3 risk determination) and the cultural resource consultation for the work at PA-8-10.3 (Big 4 Levee Removal and Floodplain Restoration) will be initiated by CTUIR in the current FY24, and previously supported (conceptual design) under BPA contract #84042 REL24. This effort was a partnership between WDFW, CTUIR and NPT habitat programs. It is our current approach to host the project design with CTUIR as the lead. It is currently our intention that NPT will host the construction contracts of implementation and WDFW and CTUIR will provide design permitting and construction support. The current alternative analysis and concept development is underway in the WDFW (#84042 REL24) contract supporting CTUIR. This contract would work to develop the design to preliminary and then near final/final with the intention of initiating implementation in 2025.

[PA-8-10.3 (Phase I)]: All EC compliance activities for Cultural Resources and Environmental clearance requirements are expected to be completed under the design products advanced to support this build contract:
(a) The 30% Conceptual design will be attached to the prior contract (#84042 REL24) during the contract term (FY24). The near-intermediate design (60%) will be provided to the BPA EC-lead to confirm the HIP IV risk determination and the completion of cultural resource clearances;
(b) HIP IV criteria documentation should be completed, and submitted for full review by Mar 15, 2025; and
(c) the HIP IV project notification form will be submitted before Apr 1, 2025, for the work to be completed in the current year. The final designs, as available, will be attached to this contract early in the contract term (FY25).

(1) Work with the BPA Environmental Specialist (EC-Lead) to ensure that work tasks and project actions currently underway or developed through design/planning activities, or previously initiated in the prior contract term, will meet permitting and environmental compliance requirements. For example, provide needed information and support to ECF for ESA consultations (USFWS or NOAA Fisheries) and Cultural Resource reviews and concurrences (e.g., State [SHPO] & Tribal [THPO]) for construction activities that are planned for implementation in the contract period.

(2) Coordinate with the BPA EC-Lead to obtain NEPA, ESA, cultural resources, and other environmental compliance clearances required to implement contract actions -- including the development of materials or equipment staging areas and construction access points -- and as design features and implementation logistics and schedules become more firmly documented through final design adjustments and site planning.

(3) For cultural resource clearance(s), the EC Lead will initiate consultation with the affected tribes and state. To begin the process, CTUIR will provide the BPA EC Lead with a brief project description and maps showing the area of potential effect (APE) of an action, to include the section/township/range for the whole area. Once the APE has been submitted and accepted, the CTUIR lead archaeologist and technical staff (or appointees) may perform the cultural resource survey(s), and provide construction monitoring (if necessary). A survey report will be provided to BPA for submittal to the affected tribes and state for approval.

Note: To ensure clearance is obtained prior to work activities, CTUIR staff will start this process no later than 4-mos prior to the date desired for field work. On-the-ground work cannot begin until environmental compliance and cultural resource clearance has been received from the EC-Lead.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

Provide environmental compliance assistance and documentation to BPA's Environmental Planning and Analysis group (ECF). As design products mature, document where possible the location(s) and scale of anticipated work locations expected to require environmental and cultural resource clearance prior to the construction of the PA-8-10.3 (Big 4) design; identify and scope permitting requirements.

Work with the BPA Environmental Specialist (EC-Lead) to fulfill NEPA, ESA, cultural resources, and other environmental compliance requirements. Submit information needed for cultural and ESA clearances as requested by BPA EC lead; complete all required consultation and surveys; coordinate with BPA EC-lead to complete required reviews; obtain clearances and the permits required to implement the project, or to conduct pre-construction activities and other contract actions that support project construction.

Complete the Project Notification Form (PNF) prior to construction activities to implement the project design; provide a project completion notice (PCF) following construction; submit forms to the BPA EC-lead.

		Description: Work done to obtain permits such as Sec. 401 or 404 (including RGP process), shoreline, NPDES, or any other required federal, state, or local permits. Send copies of final permits to EC Lead as requested.
B		Work with ECF to initiate and complete NEPA/ESA/other environmental compliance work	4/1/2024	8/31/2024	Concluded	Jennifer Lord	9/6/2024 9:34:31 AM
		Description: Confer with the BPA Environmental Compliance Group (ECF) Environmental Compliance (EC) lead and confirm the environmental and cultural resource compliance requirements for planned project work. Verify with the BPA EC-lead whether project work requires additional environmental or cultural resource compliance assistance or clearance documentation. Confirm or arrange for compliance activities in support of project/contract actions, and the evaluation of proposed restoration and habitat enhancement projects proposed for implementation, through applicable programmatic agreements and/or the completion of cultural, hazardous materials, and ESA species surveys, or other documentation. Work with BPA's EC-lead to make sure all requirements are met; and obtain clearance from BPA's EC-lead that environmental compliance requirements and clearances are complete for contract-period work.
