  • Cultural Resources Assessment for the Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection Project Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington
    CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FOR THE MOUNT VERNON DOWNTOWN FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECT MOUNT VERNON, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON BY MARGARET BERGER AND SUSAN MEDVILLE GLENN D. HARTMANN, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR PREPARED FOR: PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING PO BOX 1599 EDMONDS, WA 98020 TECHNICAL REPORT #342 CRC PROJECT #0711I CULTURAL RESOURCE CONSULTANTS, INC. 8001 DAY ROAD WEST, SUITE B BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA 98110 FEBRUARY 28, 2008 Executive Summary This report describes a cultural resources assessment for the Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection Project, in Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington. This assessment was conducted at the request of the City of Mount Vernon. This report is intended to serve as a component of preconstruction environmental review in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The project consists of modifications to the existing flood protection system. Project plans include raising the existing earthen levee, installing new levee and floodwall segments in some locations, and a new ring dike around the Mount Vernon Wastewater Treatment Plant. To accommodate levee improvements, seven downtown commercial buildings and a residence will be razed. Assessment methods included a review of relevant background literature and maps, archaeological field reconnaissance survey and testing, and a historic building survey. There are no archaeological sites recorded within the project. Archaeological testing conducted using a backhoe revealed thick alluvial deposits overlain, in places, by fill. No indications of buried archaeological sites were observed, and the project is considered to have a low potential to affect as-yet unknown cultural resources. No further archaeological investigations are recommended prior to commencement of the project.

  • Mapping of Major Latest Pleistocene to Holocene Eruptive Episodes from the Glacier Peak Volcano, Washington—A Record of Lahar
    MAPPING OF MAJOR LATEST PLEISTOCENE TO HOLOCENE ERUPTIVE EPISODES FROM THE GLACIER PEAK VOLCANO, WASHINGTON—A RECORD OF LAHARIC INUNDATION OF THE PUGET LOWLANDS FROM DARRINGTON TO THE PUGET SOUND 123° 122° 121° 49° Benjamin W. Stanton and Joe D. Dragovich, Washington Department of Natural Resouces, Division of Geology and Earth Resources, 1111 Washington St SE, Olympia, WA 98504-7007, [email protected] and [email protected] map area Bellingham SAN WHA TCOM 20 JUAN Volcanic hazards in the Pacific Northwest are typically associated with more visible stratovolcanoes, such as Mount Rainier. Glacier Peak, a North Cascade dacitic stratovolcano near Darrington, Washington, has produced at least three large eruptive episodes See Figure 2 14 path of lahars since the culmination of the last continental glaciation with each episode likely lasting a few hundred years. Data from recent detailed geologic mapping, new C ages, stratigraphic relations, clast petrographic analyses, geochemical analyses, and laharic SKAGIT to lower Skagit Valley ISLAND sand composition indicate that three large eruptive episodes occurred in the latest Pleistocene and Holocene—the information refines and expands on the pioneering work of Beget (1981). These voluminous events traveled up to 135 km downvalley of the path of lahars to lower Stillaguamish Valley Glacier Peak edifice and reached the Puget Sound via the ancient Skagit and Stillaguamish deltas. Glacier Peak has erupted dacite of similar composition throughout its history. Hypersthene-hornblende-(augite)-phyric vesicular lahar clasts found from Glacier Peak to La volcano 48° SNOHMISH Conner, Washington have similar geochemistry to dacite flows sampled on the volcano. Radiocarbon dating of the White Chuck assemblage shows an eruptive episode of ~11,900 yrs B.P.

  • 1. Skagit Basin Overview
    1. Skagit Basin Overview Abstract Since the 1850s, the Skagit River basin has been altered by human activities such as logging, diking, and the construction of dams, roads, levees, and tide gates. Logging and construction of levees and dikes converted coniferous forest and wetlands to farmland, industrial, and urban/suburban residential development. Dams constructed in the Skagit River not only generate hydropower but also provide flood control, recreation opportunities, and diverse ecosystem services. Major highways constructed through Skagit County promoted both economic and population growth in Skagit County. These human developments have dramatically impacted the hydrology and geomorphology of the basin and have impacted or reduced habitat for a wide range of species, including multiple species of native anadromous fish historically reliant on Skagit River Basin tributaries. Low-lying farms, urban development, and other lands in the floodplain are currently vulnerable to river flooding and sea level rise. The economy of the Skagit River basin in the 19th and early 20th centuries was focused primarily on logging, mining, and agriculture, but has diversified through the second half of the 20th century. Rapid increases in population in the 21st century are projected for Skagit Co., which, under the Growth Management Act and the Skagit County Comprehensive Plan, will direct future growth primarily in urban areas. 1.1 Overview of the Skagit River Basin The Skagit River basin is located in southwestern British Columbia in Canada and northwestern Washington in the United States (Figure 1.1) and drains an area of 3,115 square miles (Pacific International Engineering, 2008). Major tributaries in the basin are the Baker River, Cascade River, and Sauk River.
