Discovery of Indian remains shuts down project near Port Townsend
06:15 PM PDT on Thursday, June 14, 2007
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. - The discovery of ancient Indian remains threatens another project on the Olympic Peninsula.
Construction of a $2.8-million septic system at Beckett Point near Point Townsend was halted by the Jefferson County Public Utility District after work on May 27 turned up the remains, leaving nearly 100 residents with a failing septic system.
The Jamestown S'Klallam tribe says Beckett Point is a former village site. The PUD says it lacks the money for an archaeological examination.
Members of the PUD, tribe and other concerned parties are trying to determine the next step.
The bones will be more thoroughly examined and are now being kept at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Another such discovery at Port Angeles forced the Transportation Department to give up plans to build a drydock.
