investigations, included in permit applications/reports, and used during discussions with
regulatory agency staff.
3.3 Conduct an environmental site investigation to identify, characterize, and delineate
environmental resources at and within 150 feet of the selected sewer alignment. It is
assumed that wetland habitat is associated with the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District
(SCBID) irrigation drainage in the vicinity of the project, and consequently, the proposed sewer
alignment will cross and/or be constructed in proximity to this drainage feature. Field -flag
delineated wetland boundaries for subsequent survey. Complete wetland ratings for
identified wetlands. Compile field data and maps for topographic survey and critical areas
reporting. Coordinate with Rogers to obtain survey of environmental boundaries and data
points. It is assumed that the City will coordinate and obtain ROE access to adjacent parcels
for RH2-s site investigations.
3.4 Prepare a Wetland Detailed Study (WDS) in accordance with Pasco Municipal Code (PMC)
28.16.050 utilizing background information and site-specific data collected during the site
investigation. The WDS will be submitted to the City for permit review purposes. It is assumed
through alternatives analysis and design that impacts to the wetland drainage can be avoided
and minimized, such that no compensatory mitigation will be needed for permanent wetland
fill or excavation. This subtask estimates six (6) hours of RH2 effort to coordinate with the City
regarding avoidance and minimization measures and prepare corresponding language for
inclusion in the WDS.
3.5 Prepare a utility crossing permit application from the SCBID for the USBR crossings, together
with required plan and profile details of pipeline, casing, bore pits, traffic control, and all
other requirements for the crossings. The effort involved in this subtask is not well-defined;
therefore, RH2 has conservatively estimated sixteen (16) hours to coordinate with SCBID. If
additional effort is determined necessary, an amendment to this Scope of Work may be
needed.
3.6 Prepare a draft SEPA Checklist for City staff review in electronic PDF. Based on City staff
comments, finalize the SEPA Checklist and provide to City Planning staff for completion of a
SEPA Determination and subsequent publication.
3.7 Compile and submit construction drawings and specifications for Ecology review and project
approval.
3.8 Attend up to three (3) meetings with the City, Ecology, SCBID and/or USBR to discuss
permitting tasks and progress. Prepare meeting agenda and minutes for each meeting.

Assumptions:
Exhibit A
Scope of Work
Cultural survey and wetland delineation costs are based on a preliminary alignment and may
change if the alignment is lengthened or significantly altered.
Cultural survey and wetland delineation costs assume the project area is clear of dense
vegetation such that archaeologists and biologists will be able.to complete investigations with
minimal path clearing.
Cultural costs assume that no more than one (1) unrecorded archaeological site or one (1)
unrecorded historic site will be identified within the project area. If additional sites are found,
it may be necessary to increase the cost of this task. This budget was prepared with the
assumption that no more than twenty (20) shovel test probes would be excavated. If extensive
archaeological deposits are encountered or if additional shovel test probes are warranted
within the project area, it may be necessary to modify this Scope of Work to accommodate
additional investigations for purposes of site identification.
• This Scope of Work does not include effort for mitigation to impacts associated with
archaeological or historic sites.
• If human remains are found within the project area, all cultural field investigations will cease
immediately, proper authorities will be notified, and field investigations will not resume until
applicable state laws are addressed.
• CRC assumes that the City will submit the Cultural Resources Assessment report to DAHP
within fifteen (15) days of receipt of said report for review. CRC cannot be held liable for
reports prepared but not submitted to DAHP in a timely manner. Additional fees may apply
for additional services required as part of DAHP's review process for reports submitted more
than fifteen (15) days after receipt.
• No cultural resources study can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential for
prehistoric sites, historic properties, or traditional cultural properties to be associated with a
project. The information presented in reports is based on experience and professional opinions
derived from the analysis and interpretation of the documents, records, literature, and
information identified and used within the report, and during field investigations. The
conclusions and recommendations presented will apply to the project conditions existing at
the time of the study and those reasonably foreseeable.
• The City will assist RH2 with supplying information required for the SEPA Checklist to the
extent that information is accessible to the City.
• No engineering report will be required for Ecology review and approval.
• The City will submit all final permit applications directly.
• The City will pay all permit and review fees directly.
• It is assumed that impacts to the wetland drainage and/or other critical areas will be avoided
and minimized. As such, this Scope of Work does not include development of compensatory

mitigation plans. Should it be necessary, mitigation design services will be addressed in an
amendment to this Scope of Work.
• No federal funds are involved in the project. No federal permitting, federal biological
assessments or evaluations, or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitting, or coordination will
be involved. This Scope of Work assumes that the USBR crossing will not trigger requirements
of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). If that is not the case, additional permitting
may be required, which would be addressed through an amendment to this Scope of Work.
• Archaeological monitoring, more detailed scientific assessment, or other requirements
imposed as part of the permit approval process will require an additional authorization and a
modification to this Scope of Work.
• Permitting -related work will be conducted on a time and expense basis with the goal that the
required permitting can be accomplished within the proposed permitting budget on the
attached Fee Estimate.
• RH2 is not responsible for site safety, nor for directing Rogers in collection of survey data.
• RH2 cannot warrant or guarantee any agency's approval or response time.
• RH2 will rely on the accuracy and completeness of data, materials, and information provided
or generated by the City or others in relation to this Scope of Work.
Provided by City:
• Payment of all permit application fees.
• Assistance with completion of permit applications and coordination with agency staff, as
needed.
