Appendix H: Preliminary Cultural Resource
Appendix H Preliminary Cultural Resource Investigations Technical Memorandum TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Latah Bridge Rehabilitation Project, Cultural Resources Preliminary Investigation Technical Memorandum PREPARED FOR: Lisa Malstrom/City of Spokane COPY TO: Mark Brower/CH2M HILL Marlena Guhlke/CH2M HILL PREPARED BY: Lori Durio Price/CH2M HILL and Jim Sharpe/CH2M HILL DATE: November 17, 2011 PROJECT NUMBER: 425825.LB.02 The City of Spokane has initiated the Latah Bridge Rehabilitation Study in an effort to identify and develop preliminary solution alternatives that will support public use of this historic and vital transportation link for future generation of drivers, riders, bicyclists and pedestrians. The bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982. As part of this study, information was collected to identify the character-defining features of the bridge, and to determine the archaeological and cultural sensitivity of the Latah Bridge site. The cultural resource information contained within this study was obtained from the NRHP database of the National Park Service, and from the Washington Information System Architectural and Archaeological Database (WISAARD) managed by the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP). This preliminary review contains information on the bridge itself, as well as on the cultural setting of the bridge, prior cultural resource technical reports, area historic districts, known archaeological sites, cemeteries, and known Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs), and a summary of the findings for the proposed project area. This information was obtained by conducting a one half mile search radius around the project. Historic Context Due to the extensive history of the area, the historic component of this preliminary study is summarized. -

The "Palouse Soil" Problem with an Account of Elephant Remains in Wind-Borne Soil on the Columbia Plateau of Washington
THE "PALOUSE SOIL" PROBLEM WITH AN ACCOUNT OF ELEPHANT REMAINS IN WIND-BORNE SOIL ON THE COLUMBIA PLATEAU OF WASHINGTON By KIRK BRYAN INTRODUCTION Wheat is the great crop of eastern Washington. Grown on an extensive scale with all the ingenuity of modern labor-saving devices, it forms the basis for the stable prosperity of the " Inland Empire " which has its commercial center at Spokane. Deep, rich soil is the controlling factor in the growth of wheat in this area, for the rain fall is light, though advantageously concentrated in the winter sea son. The system of summer fallow is necessary to conserve the mois ture of one season into the next, but thereby one-half the land lies plowed and idle. The wheat region, therefore, is a checkerboard of bare brown rectangles of plowed land alternating with rectangles of wheat that are green, gold, or buff according to the season. The great Columbia Plateau, underlain except in a few small areas by basalt flows several hundred feet thick, has nearly every where a mantle of so-called soil, deep and retentive of moisture, the basis of this great wheat growing industry. This " soil" * is a fine grained mass that is intimately dissected into hills and valleys. (PI. 4, A and B.) The little valleys are usually cut to or just below the level of the underlying basalt, so that the height of the hills, from 100 to 150 feet, measures the thickness of this " soil." This material is locally known as " Palouse soil," from the rich wheat-growing area along Palouse Kiver south of Spokane, which is popularly known as the " Palouse country." The Bureau of Soils, as shown in the summary of the history of the subject, on pages 22-26, recognizes in the region a number of soil series, only, one of which bears the name Palouse. -

In our draft Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) dated January 2010, the GeoEngineers/HDR consultant team presented a total of 26 field data collection alternatives for review by Spokane County and the Nonpoint Advisory Committee (NPAC). In Table 3 of the draft QAPP, we presented a preliminary prioritization of those data collection alternatives with respect to utilization of project and future funding. A number of comments were received from the NPAC with respect to these data collection alternatives and associated prioritization. These comments, as well as their interpreted impact to the alternative prioritization, have been compiled in the attached Table 1. Based on the original alternative prioritization, our subsequent field reconnaissance, and NPAC comments, the top-ranked data collection alternatives are identified in the attached Table 2 and described in more detail below. The top-ranked alternative was given a ranking of 1. Note that data collection alternatives within the Hangman Creek subbasin, which previously had been assigned high priorities, now have relatively low priorities based on the data and studies recently provided by the NPAC. -
Ecological Checklist of the Missouri Flora for Floristic Quality Assessment

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

Hydrology of the Hangman Creek Watershed (WRIA 56), Washington and Idaho
Hydrology of the Hangman Creek Watershed (WRIA 56), Washington and Idaho Prepared By: John P. Buchanan, Ph.D., R.HG. Professor of Geology and Kevin Brown Research Assistant Department of Geology Eastern Washington University Prepared For: Spokane County Conservation District - Lead Entity Hangman (Latah) Creek Planning Unit (WRIA 56) and Washington State Department of Ecology 1998 Legislature Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2514 (The Watershed Management Act) RCW 90.82 Grant # G0000101 June 2003 Executive Summary Water resources inventory area (WRIA) 56 encompasses the Hangman (Latah) Creek watershed in Washington, with headwaters in Idaho. The basin covers 431,220 acres and contains approximately 222 miles of perennial streams. The headwaters in Idaho lie at an elevation of about 3,600 feet above mean sea level, and at its confluence with the Spokane River the elevation is 1,720 feet above mean sea level. The geology varies considerably within the basin. The primary geological units include, from oldest to youngest: 1) crystalline basement rocks of meta-sedimentary and igneous plutonic origin that underlie the entire region and occur in the higher peaks, 2) widespread horizontally-bedded volcanic rocks consisting of basalt flows separated by laterally discontinuous sedimentary interbeds, and 3) unconsolidated surficial deposits consisting primarily of flood-deposited sand and gravel and the wind-deposited silts that comprise the rolling hills characteristic of the Palouse. An unconfined aquifer exists in the sand and gravel deposits in the lower portion of WRIA 56, below the confluence of Rock and California Creek. The water table in this aquifer unit is strongly connected to, and is influenced by, the stage of flow in Hangman Creek. -
