Miscellaneous Planning Correction
In sum, the report lacks a meaningful project description other than to state “the survey was conducted for a proposed storage structure construction.” Does the project involve ground disturbance? If so, how deep? If there are planned excavations deeper than 40 cm (16 inches) then monitoring should have been recommended as that was the maximum depth of the investigation. My specific comments are in red, below.
Page 11
Pedestrian Survey Methods
“All exposed soils were inspected for cultural materials and signs of previous disturbances. Visibility was good, consisting primarily of short grasses.”
Based on the shovel probe results, the investigated sediments consisted of imported fill and the ground surface was covered in grass suggesting surface visibility was extremely poor, contradicting the statement that “visibility was good.”
Page 16
Subsurface Survey
“In each probe Harris Environmental observed approximately 10 cm of disturbed fill material overlying landscaping fabric. The underlying soils consist of 25-30 cm of heavily compacted 10YR 5/4 sandy silt mottled with 10YR 6/2 sandy silt with approximately 50% gravels and pebbles present throughout (Figures 10 and 11). Soils located below the landscaping fabric are generally consistent with those mapped by the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which are described as Briscot loam with a typical profile of 0 to 11 inches of loam followed by 11 to 38 inches of stratified fine sandy loam and 38 to 60 inches of sand (NRCS 2023). The probes were terminated due to the compaction of the soil and the presence of subsoils within both probes.”
If the sediments below the landscaping fabric contained 50% gravels then this is very obviously imported fill material. Gravely sediments are NOT consistent with floodplain alluvium and NOT consistent with the mapped NRCS soils described as Briscot loam composed of stratified fine sandy loam and sand. Based on the shovel probe results, it would appear that native sediments were not reached, or investigated. Terminating both shovel probes between 35 cm and 40 cmbs because of “compaction” is not standard practice, nor an acceptable form of subsurface investigation. Most CRM consultants use breaker bars and augers to reach a minimum of one meter below surface. Based on the sediment descriptions and shovel probe photos there is no evidence for the presence of “subsoils” in either probe.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
“Background research revealed that the project area is located in an area with a low to moderate probability of containing cultural resources.”
The DAHP WISAARD probability model maps the project area as “High Risk” for archaeological resources based on the floodplain setting and proximity to the Puyallup River and former meanders of the Puyallup River.

Comments received from Puyallup Tribe on 09/21/2023. See Tribe's response in Documents & Images.
Tribe has allowed for condition in place of amended survey: A qualified archaeological monitor must be present during excavation and construction for any disturbance over 40 cm (1.3 ft.) deep.

Final Landscape Plan - Tree protection plan
Existing trees to be retained must be clearly marked on the final clearing and grading plan, and final landscape plan. Tree protection fencing and signage shall follow the city standard detail, see appendix 20.5. Standard detail shall be included on all plan sets with vegetation which is scheduled for retention and protection. All critical root protection zones (CRPZ) shall be shown on plan sets in diameter from the center of the tree. In determining tree CRPZ, the following standards shall be used.In establishing the extent of the Critical Root Protection Zone (CRPZ) for individual significant trees, groupings of significant trees, a stand of significant trees, or a heritage tree the following formula shall be used: Individual tree diameter (in inches) X 2, converted into feet = CRPZ, in diameter (Example: 20” tree X 2 = 40’ CRPZ diameter). The following minimum performance standards shall be used to determine the extent of allowable impacts to the CRPZ of significant trees: For significant trees, a minimum of 50 percent of the critical root zone must be preserved at natural grade, with natural ground cover. The protection zone may be irregular. The plan set shall provide a total square footage of CRPZ area and show the % of disturbance area. For heritage trees, a minimum of 75 percent of the critical root zone must be preserved at natural grade with natural ground cover. The protection zone may be irregular. The plan set shall provide a total square footage of CRPZ area and show the % of disturbance area. No cut or fill greater than four (4) inches in depth may be located closer to the tree trunk than ½ the CRPZ radius distance. (Example, 20-inch DBH tree has a 40’ CRPZ area (in diameter) - meaning no cut or fill greater than 4” in depth is allowed within 20’ of the tree trunk). No cut or fill within the distance from the tree which is three (3) times the trunk DBH is allowed. (Example, 20-inch DBH tree X 3 = 60”, meaning no cut is allowed within 60-inches of a tree which has a 20-inch diameter trunk). These criteria represent minimum standards for determining whether or not a tree may be required to be retained. Greater impacts may be allowed, provided that all design alternatives have been proven unfeasible and that a pre-conditioning and after care mitigation program is established. See section 10.1 of the VMS, and referenced appendices for more information.

Final Landscape Plan - Tree protection plan
Existing trees to be retained must be clearly marked on the final clearing and grading plan, and final landscape plan. Tree protection fencing and signage shall follow the city standard detail, see appendix 20.5. Standard detail shall be included on all plan sets with vegetation which is scheduled for retention and protection. All critical root protection zones (CRPZ) shall be shown on plan sets in diameter from the center of the tree. In determining tree CRPZ, the following standards shall be used.In establishing the extent of the Critical Root Protection Zone (CRPZ) for individual significant trees, groupings of significant trees, a stand of significant trees, or a heritage tree the following formula shall be used: Individual tree diameter (in inches) X 2, converted into feet = CRPZ, in diameter (Example: 20” tree X 2 = 40’ CRPZ diameter). The following minimum performance standards shall be used to determine the extent of allowable impacts to the CRPZ of significant trees: For significant trees, a minimum of 50 percent of the critical root zone must be preserved at natural grade, with natural ground cover. The protection zone may be irregular. The plan set shall provide a total square footage of CRPZ area and show the % of disturbance area. For heritage trees, a minimum of 75 percent of the critical root zone must be preserved at natural grade with natural ground cover. The protection zone may be irregular. The plan set shall provide a total square footage of CRPZ area and show the % of disturbance area. No cut or fill greater than four (4) inches in depth may be located closer to the tree trunk than ½ the CRPZ radius distance. (Example, 20-inch DBH tree has a 40’ CRPZ area (in diameter) - meaning no cut or fill greater than 4” in depth is allowed within 20’ of the tree trunk). No cut or fill within the distance from the tree which is three (3) times the trunk DBH is allowed. (Example, 20-inch DBH tree X 3 = 60”, meaning no cut is allowed within 60-inches of a tree which has a 20-inch diameter trunk). These criteria represent minimum standards for determining whether or not a tree may be required to be retained. Greater impacts may be allowed, provided that all design alternatives have been proven unfeasible and that a pre-conditioning and after care mitigation program is established. See section 10.1 of the VMS, and referenced appendices for more information.

Parking lot landscaping
The site designer and landscape architect will need to review and integrate all the other design requirements of the type IV landscaping standards, including:
• No more than eight (8) parking spaces shall be placed consecutively without
a landscaping island.
• All perimeter landscape islands (defined as islands which project into
parking lots from an area connected to a perimeter landscape yard) shall be a minimum of 12’ wide with a minimum area of 200 sq ft of area.
• All internal landscape islands (landscape islands entirely surrounded by
paving) shall be a minimum of 15’ in width with a minimum area of 500 sq ft.
o ‘Head-to-head’ parking stalls and internal landscape islands shall be separated by a ‘connector landscaping strip’ a minimum of 6' in width
o All internal landscape islands and connector strips shall include a single row of structural soil cells (EX. Silva cells, or equivalent) along the perimeter of all internal parking lot landscape islands where parking spaces are proposed (under the pavement directly abutting the outer edge of the landscape island, except in drive lanes)
o All ‘head-to-head’ parking stalls internal to a parking lot shall have
internal island ‘end caps’ to separate the parking stalls from abutting drive aisles. These ‘end cap’ islands shall follow the requirements for internal islands (size, dimensions, required landscaping, etc.).

VMS 7.4
The Puyallup area has a long history with daffodil bulb agricultural cultivation. To reflect
that cultural heritage, daffodils shall be used in all perimeter yard areas. All perimeter landscape
yard areas required by PMC 20.58 shall include Narcissus trumpet 'King Alfred' or ‘Dutch Master’
in the first 3’ of landscape areas behind the property line, planted at 6” on-center. Other
groupings of Narcissus shall be used in groupings through landscape areas.
A. Daffodil Bulbs may be interspersed throughout the perimeter landscape areas
with standard landscaping shrubs/ground cover/trees, as required.
B. Other varieties of Narcissus trumpet may be used, with the preference of 'King
Alfred' or ‘Dutch Master’ in the frontage areas closest to any property line for visibility from the
right of way.
C. Daffodil bulb planting shall be completed at appropriate time of year to allow
establishment (September – November). Applicants may be required to post an assignment to
secure the installation at the appropriate time of year. Project landscape architect may spec an
alternative time of year to plant, such as during the winter or very early spring
