Hurricane Ridge Water System Rehabilitation - Memorandum of Agreement

The regulations (36 CFR 800.2(d)) implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) direct federal agencies to seek and consider the view of the public when historic properties are affected by an agency action.

Olympic National Park (OLYM) plans to rehabilitate the water system in the Hurricane Ridge developed area as an undertaking and has defined the undertaking's area of potential effects (APE) as described in Attachment 1 to the memorandum of agreement (MOA). NOTE: Due to the sensitivity of the information included in "Attachment 1," it is not attached for public review.

OLYM has determined that the undertaking may have an adverse effect on two archaeological sites, which are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and has consulted with the Washington State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) pursuant to 36 CFR § 800, and the regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. § 306108).

OLYM has also consulted with the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, and Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (Tribes), for which the two sites have cultural significance, and has invited the Tribes to sign the MOA as concurring parties. Also, in accordance with 36 CFR § 800.6(a)(1), OLYM has notified the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) of its adverse effect determination with specified documentation and the ACHP has chosen not to participate in the consultation pursuant to 36 CFR § 800.6(a)(1)(iii).

OLYM and SHPO agree that the undertaking shall be implemented in accordance with the stipulations provided within the MOA in order to take into account the effect of the undertaking on historic properties.

The public review period will be open from 10:30am MT on Friday, November 15, 2024 to 11:59pm MT on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
