Re: City of Pasco Survey and Public Outreach Project
Mr. Adams,
This letter is intended to update you on the status of the City of Pasco survey and public outreach project. Harris
Environmental has completed a portion of the work associated with this project-including conducting one public
meeting and the fieldwork, a reconnaissance survey as indicated in the scope of work submitted. The
documentation and reporting portions of the project are in-process and ongoing at this time.
The first public outreach meeting was held on June 27th, 2018 at the Kurtzman Park police mini-station, within
the East Pasco neighborhood. Prior to the meeting, Harris Environmental attended the Juneteenth celebration at
Kurtzman Park in order to advertise and to establish a presence with community members. The meeting was well
attended and resulted in a lively discussion of the history of the area. Several properties were discussed, a rough
list of properties to be surveyed was compiled and contacts were established.
Fieldwork, in the form of a reconnaissance-level survey was conducted on August 13th-15th, 2018. Harris
Environmental visited a total of nine (9)properties (see Table 1)within, or adjacent to the study area as outlined
in the solicitation. Each property was photographed on all sides and extensive notes were taken on the appearance
and structural details of each.Photographs were taken of any distinguishing details and/or aspects of the properties
that would diminish their integrity for consideration for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Washington State Historic Property Inventory(HPI) forms are in the process of being prepared for each property,
based on the results of the fieldwork and on ongoing background research. Each of these forms will include all
photographs taken as well as a description of the property and a brief context statement for the African American
community in East Pasco, as well as the individual property and its place within that community.
Background research has been conducted with the State of Washington, the City of Pasco, the Franklin County
Historical Society and other local and online sources. The results of the fieldwork and background research will
be synthesized into a report that follows the Washington State Reporting Standards and includes: an introduction,
survey methodology, analysis of the properties and their potential significance, as well as recommendations for
further study. The report will include maps of the survey area,photographs of each property and a table with local
and National Register eligibility recommendations.
Harris Environmental is currently working with Delia Hagan of Historical Consulting to share information
recorded during this phase of the survey and to aid in a smooth transition into the next phase of documentation.
Harris Environmental expects to complete the HPI forms and report within the next 6 weeks (estimated by the
middle of November,2018) and to complete all aspects of the phase of the project by the end of the calendar year
