    August 20, 2013 Richard Bellon, THPO Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Indian Reservation P.O. Box 536 Oakville WA 98568 Re: Tesoro Savage Vancouver Energy Distribution Terminal Project Vancouver, Washington Cultural Resource Information Request Dear Mr. Bellon: I am writing to provide you with information and a request to initiate coordination regarding the Tesoro Savage Vancouver Energy Distribution Terminal that is proposed to be located at the Port of Vancouver (Port) in Vancouver, Washington (Figures 1 and 2, attached). The proposed facility will receive crude oil by freight rail, temporarily store it on site, and pipe it to marine vessels for shipment via the Columbia River.

    The proposed project is subject to the jurisdiction of the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) since the project is expected to ship over 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day over marine waters. In support of the application to EFSEC, AINW is preparing an analysis of potential impacts to cultural resources in accordance with applicable state statutes and regulations. For purposes of the EFSEC application, the proposed study area will be the area where construction impacts may occur at the Port, as illustrated in the attached figures.

    The project may also require approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for potential in-water work on the existing Port Berths 13 and 14 which will be used to support the marine activities related to the project. For purposes of supporting review by the USACE, a separate cultural resources study meeting the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR 800, will be prepared. The standards of the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be followed, and the cultural resource study will be directed by AINW staff who have met the professional qualifications of the Secretary of the Interiors Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Based on the currently proposed project impacts, my review of previous studies indicate that nearly the entire study area has been previously surveyed for archaeological resources (Figure 3, attached) and none have been identified within the study area; from 1.2 to 6 meters (4 to 20 feet) of dredge fill deposits cover most of the APE and the small portions not previously surveyed are paved and are on the filled area. The applicant is very interested to learn whether you have information regarding properties, features, or materials within the study area that may be of concern to the Chehalis Tribes so that these concerns can be addressed in the cultural resources review included in the application to EFSEC. If you have information regarding cultural resources, please feel free to contact me at 503-761-6605. For information about the projects proposed facilities, you may contact me or contact the environmental planner for the project, Irina Makarow of BergerABAM, at 206-431-2373. Feel free to reply by letter, email, or telephone. You may email me at [email protected], or if you prefer, you may email Ms. Makarow at [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

    Jo Reese, M.A., R.P.A. VP/Senior Archaeologist Encl.

    August 20, 2013 Johnson Meninick, Cultural Resource Program Yakama Indian Nation P.O. Box 151 Toppenish WA 98948 Re: Tesoro Savage Vancouver Energy Distribution Terminal Project Vancouver, Washington Cultural Resource Information Request Dear Mr. Meninick: I am writing to provide you with information and a request to initiate coordination regarding the Tesoro Savage Vancouver Energy Distribution Terminal that is proposed to be located at the Port of Vancouver (Port) in Vancouver, Washington (Figures 1 and 2, attached). The proposed facility will receive crude oil by freight rail, temporarily store it on site, and pipe it to marine vessels for shipment via the Columbia River.

    The proposed project is subject to the jurisdiction of the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) since the project is expected to ship over 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day over marine waters. In support of the application to EFSEC, AINW is preparing an analysis of potential impacts to cultural resources in accordance with applicable state statutes and regulations. For purposes of the EFSEC application, the proposed study area will be the area where construction impacts may occur at the Port, as illustrated in the attached figures.

    The project may also require approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for potential in-water work on the existing Port Berths 13 and 14 which will be used to support the marine activities related to the project. For purposes of supporting review by the USACE, a separate cultural resources study meeting the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR 800, will be prepared. The standards of the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be followed, and the cultural resource study will be directed by AINW staff who have met the professional qualifications of the Secretary of the Interiors Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Based on the currently proposed project impacts, my review of previous studies indicate that nearly the entire study area has been previously surveyed for archaeological resources (Figure 3, attached) and none have been identified within the study area; from 1.2 to 6 meters (4 to 20 feet) of dredge fill deposits cover most of the APE and the small portions not previously surveyed are paved and are on the filled area. The applicant is very interested to learn whether you have information regarding properties, features, or materials within the study area that may be of concern to the Yakama Indian Nation so that these concerns can be addressed in the cultural resources review included in the application to EFSEC. If you have information regarding cultural resources, please feel free to contact me at 503-761-6605. For information about the projects proposed facilities, you may contact me or contact the environmental planner for the project, Irina Makarow of BergerABAM, at 206-431-2373. Feel free to reply by letter, email, or telephone. You may email me at [email protected], or if you prefer, you may email Ms. Makarow at [email protected].

    August 20, 2013 Kate Valdez, THPO Yakama Indian Nation P.O. Box 151 Toppenish WA 98948 Re: Tesoro Savage Vancouver Energy Distribution Terminal Project Vancouver, Washington Cultural Resource Information Request Dear Ms. Valdez: I am writing to provide you with information and a request to initiate coordination regarding the Tesoro Savage Vancouver Energy Distribution Terminal that is proposed to be located at the Port of Vancouver (Port) in Vancouver, Washington (Figures 1 and 2, attached). The proposed facility will receive crude oil by freight rail, temporarily store it on site, and pipe it to marine vessels for shipment via the Columbia River.

    The proposed project is subject to the jurisdiction of the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) since the project is expected to ship over 50,000 barrels of crude oil per day over marine waters. In support of the application to EFSEC, AINW is preparing an analysis of potential impacts to cultural resources in accordance with applicable state statutes and regulations. For purposes of the EFSEC application, the proposed study area will be the area where construction impacts may occur at the Port, as illustrated in the attached figures.

    The project may also require approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for potential in-water work on the existing Port Berths 13 and 14 which will be used to support the marine activities related to the project. For purposes of supporting review by the USACE, a separate cultural resources study meeting the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR 800, will be prepared. The standards of the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be followed, and the cultural resource study will be directed by AINW staff who have met the professional qualifications of the Secretary of the Interiors Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. Based on the currently proposed project impacts, my review of previous studies indicate that nearly the entire study area has been previously surveyed for archaeological resources (Figure 3, attached) and none have been identified within the study area; from 1.2 to 6 meters (4 to 20 feet) of dredge fill deposits cover most of the APE and the small portions not previously surveyed are paved and are on the filled area. The applicant is very interested to learn whether you have information regarding properties, features, or materials within the study area that may be of concern to the Yakama Indian Nation so that these concerns can be addressed in the cultural resources review included in the application to EFSEC. If you have information regarding cultural resources, please feel free to contact me at 503-761-6605. For information about the projects proposed facilities, you may contact me or contact the environmental planner for the project, Irina Makarow of BergerABAM, at 206-431-2373. Feel free to reply by letter, email, or telephone. You may email me at [email protected], or if you prefer, you may email Ms. Makarow at [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

    Jo Reese, M.A., R.P.A. VP/Senior Archaeologist Encl.

    Table 2 - CRC, Inc. Spill Response Equipment Staged along Columbia and Willamette Rivers Equipment Description Containment Boom

    Oil spill containment boom is a floating barrier used to contain oil spilled into water. CRC has 11,400 feet of 12-inch boom, 1,000 feet of 40-inch boom, 45,400 feet of 20-inch boom, and 700 feet of 30-inch boom, totaling 62,600 feet of oil spill containment boom on the Columbia and Willamette rivers.

    Workboats

    Workboats are functional vessels used to support oil spill response operations. CRC maintains three fast response vessels (FRVs) for rapid response to spills. The vessels are often used in deploying containment boom and assist water recovery operations. CRC also maintains four additional workboats, two large skiffs and three small support skiffs

    Oil Spill Response Vessels (OSRVs)

    CRC maintains four 34-foot OSRVs outfitted with skimming systems and storage capability for oil spill recovery operations. Each OSRV provides an estimated daily recovery capacity (EDRC) of 3,270 barrels per day.

  • DavidCorpron,KellyFlintAugust18,2013Page17

    Equipment Description Portable Skimmers

    Portable skimmers are mechanical skimming systems used to remove oil from water, maximizing the amount of oil to water recovered. Oil skimmers come in three common types: weir, oleophilic, and drum. CRC maintains 39 portable skimming systems with a total EDRC of 75,545 barrels per day.

    Storage Capacity

    CRC has six shallow water recovery barges equipped with Lori skimmers having an EDRC of 2,473 barrels per day per barge. In addition, CRC has five shallow water barges, seven 2,500-gallon towable bladders, and 10 1,000-gallon portable fast tanks to store spilled product. In addition, CRC has by agreement two large, 12,000-barrel storage barges and fixed facility storage tanks along the Columbia and Willamette rivers.

    Wildlife Response and Rehabilitation System

    CRCs state-of-the-art wildlife care equipment is made up of a response & rehabilitation unit, transport unit and rehabilitation shelter. IBR serves as CRCs wildlife response contractor, with experts in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.

    Command and Communications Unit

    CRC also maintains a 53-foot trailer outfitted with todays newest technologies, for use as a mobile command post and communications center anywhere on the Columbia and Willamette rivers. The unit is equipped with a conference room that includes whiteboards, teleconference and projection capability, a workspace with computers, satellite phone and internet connections, and a radio communications room equipped with UHF, VHF, and air/ground frequencies among others.
