Cultural Resources Survey. A Cultural Resources Survey of the Property was conducted by Chicora Foundation, Inc. in accordance with guidelines of the State Historical Preservation Office of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. A copy of the report is attached with this Agreement as Exhibit P.
Cultural Resources Survey. All formal cultural resources surveys conducted by the CRS will be minimally documented on the MS-CR-2 form. The CRS will contact appropriate NRCS personnel to arrange access to the area to conduct the cultural resources survey. Survey methodology will be designed and implemented according to 36 CFR 800.4(b)(1).
Cultural Resources Survey. ERO will conduct an intensive Class III cultural resource survey of the Corps and Service APEs that conforms to the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Identification and by supervisory personnel that meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards. This task will involve two archaeologists walking systematic transects to identify unknown cultural resources within the APEs. Resources identified during Task 1 will be documented or reevaluated, if necessary. Identified cultural resources will be documented on relevant OAHP site forms, mapped, photographed and located using a submeter GeoXH GPS unit. Each identified resource will be assessed for its eligibility to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) per 36 CFR 60.4 of the NHPA (1966, as amended). Based on a preliminary review of the project area and ERO’s previous work on McMurdo Gulch, ERO has identified the following area- specific expectations: SOUTHERN SEGMENT (EAST PLUM CREEK) ○ The Corps and Service APEs will intersect the historical Xxxxxx O.V. Ranch (5DA1915), which is eligible for the State Register. ERO assumes the ranch will require minor documentation because the trail will not impact any of the ranch’s constructed features. MIDDLE SEGMENT (MCMURDO GULCH) ○ The trail will intersect four to five Corps APEs. All of the crossings were recently surveyed by ERO or another cultural resource firm, PaleoWest, and the Corps will not require additional survey for most of the crossings. If the scour wall impacts waters of the U.S., the Corps will require survey and documentation of a known buried eligible historical trash site. Impacts on the trash site will be assessed. ○ It is unclear if the Corps will assume jurisdiction over the trail near the CCC camps. ERO will survey this portion of trail to assess effects on the eligible sites and coordinate with the project engineers to make any necessary adjustments to avoid impacts on significant parts of the sites (5DA3745 and 5DA3746). ○ The trail will impact an existing CCC- related road (5DA3660), but the road is not eligible for the NRHP and will not require additional work. ○ The Corps APE will intersect one not eligible Prehistoric Native American camp (5DA3894), but the site has been determined not eligible by the Corps and will require no additional work.
Cultural Resources Survey. A phase I Cultural Resource Assessment Survey at the Brunswick – Golden Isles Airport will be prepared. The area of Potential Effect (APE) will be the portions of the airport deemed most likely to be developed in the near term (0-10 years) planning period. For purposes of this proposal, approximately 600 acres has been deemed as likely for near-term development. The assessment will address both archaeological & structural resources, plus property within a 2- mile radius of the airport for structural resources to identify resources that could potentially be affected by future view-shed changes. The APE provides information to consider the possible effects that noise, air quality, vibration, and potential changes in use might have on cultural resources. The inventory and assessment will include documenting the following for each structure: parcel identification number, address, date of construction, and architectural style. The inventory also will determine whether specific districts and rural historic landscapes exist within the APE, and a preliminary National Register of Historic Places eligibility statement will be offered. An overview of the Cultural Resource Survey findings will be included in the Master Plan environmental documentation. Full results of the survey will be included as a separate appendix for use in future project planning and permitting.
Cultural Resources Survey. Objective: Complete a survey of Cultural Resources within the APE to be utilized for consultation with SHPO. Approach: A cultural resource survey update for the proposed improvements indentified in the APE. The consultant will utilize the previously conducted archaeological survey and site testing work at the Bend Airport in 2005 and 2008 in the area of the proposed improvements for background. The Consultant will update the previous work and coordinate with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to verify that no additional archaeological work is needed. The consultant will conduct an archaeological field inspection of the proposed improvement area, review previous reports, examine SHPO records for the Bend Airport property, and prepare a summary report for submittal to the FAA and the SHPO for the proposed improvements. The archaeological field inspection and the SHPO records review will be completed by an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s professional qualifications standards for archaeology. The consultant will also prepare necessary summary reports and figures for use by FAA for consultation with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. No additional archaeological field survey or testing work is anticipated in the scope of work. It assumes that the proposed improvements will be confined to the areas that were previously investigated in 2005 and 2008, and that the SHPO will agree with the previous site evaluations and recommendations that the resources are not eligible of listing in the National Register of Historic Places and that no further archaeological work will be required. If additional work is required based on this coordination, a separate scope and fee will be negotiated based on the information provided by the agencies outlining the work required.
Cultural Resources Survey. ACS will conduct a Class I records review of the project area and a 1-mile buffer. All cultural resources known or projected to occur within one (1) mile of the project area will be identified through a review of previous studies, records, maps, photographs, and other available archival documentation. For the Class I inventory update, ACS will review records held at the following repositories to collect information about previous cultural resource projects, previously recorded cultural resources, and historic resources within the project area and a 1-mile radius: o Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) o AZSITE Cultural Resource Database o General Land Office (GLO) plats on file at the Bureau of Land Management Arizona State Office o San Xxxxxx Irrigation Project (SCIP) Archaeology Office files GIS shapefiles plotting the location of recorded sites and previous projects will be requested from AZSITE. It takes up to three (3) weeks for AZSITE to respond to data requests. In the meantime, copies of site records and project maps will be obtained from the other repositories; cultural resource locations and project boundaries from these sources will be digitized and incorporated into the AZSITE GIS layers using ArcView. For the purposes of this cost estimate, it is assumed that relevant project files will be provided electronically by the SCIP office and will not require an in-person visit. It is further assumed that no more than 25 previously recorded sites and projects will be returned from the site file check requests. The project area has not previously been investigated for cultural resources; however, the project area is an active landfill and the ground surface is modernized. Therefore, per direction received from SCIP Archaeologist Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (personal communication, April 5, 2016), ACS will not conduct a Class III survey of the project area. Preliminary research identified one historic resource—the historic lateral canal L4-52—known to occur within the project area. This historic resource will need to be documented in a field visit and evaluated for eligibility, and the potential of the proposed construction to adversely affect its integrity and historical character will need to be assessed. Field documentation of the historic lateral canal will include recording of canal shape, dimensions, surficial treatments (e.g., canal lining), date of construction, and associated features. Information to be included with the documentation will inc...
Cultural Resources Survey. A cultural resources professional who meets or exceeds the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for archaeology and architectural history as defined in 36 CFR 61 will perform a cultural resources survey of the project study area to determine if there is an effect on any property eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Consultant will prepare a report for the USACE to use to complete their Section 106 consultation requirement. Bridge #218 has been determined eligible for the NRHP (see Oklahoma Historic Bridge Survey Phase I – A Re-Evaluation of Spans of Time: Oklahoma Historic Highway Bridges, ODOT-CRP 2007). Replacement of this bridge will likely constitute an adverse effect on this historic property. See detailed scope from Subconsultant attached.
Cultural Resources Survey. The Contractor will conduct a Cultural Resources Survey to assist the County in implementing historic preservation measures in the Xxx Highway Architectural Survey Area (See Section G: Preliminary Resources). The Cultural Resources Survey will increase the appreciation for the Xxx Highway corridor’s cultural history by all County residents. To this end, the survey will take in many non-traditional resource types beyond traditional building types such as open spaces, parks, and gathering places, as well as many objects and resources deemed locally significant by its residents. The identification, recognition, and preservation of resources such as these are crucial to maintaining strong, resilient communities, including Xxx Highway. All contractors must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards as outlined in 36 CFR Part 61. Contractor will maintain regular consultation with Arlington County staff, local residents and information sources, and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR). The survey will be conducted according to VDHR standards. Cultural Resources Approach – Contractor will utilize a four-step “tiered approach” to the Cultural Resources Survey to allow the County flexibility to document priority sites in the greatest depth. The first step is to conduct overall background research to determine types and significance of known resources. Second step is to identify the resources that will receive in- depth research, surveying and documentation and those that will be researched, surveyed and documented at a reconnaissance level. The third step will be to conduct the field surveys and more in-depth research followed by documentation.
Cultural Resources Survey. This task has not been fully completed. In September and October 2021, Ascent engaged in coordination regarding cultural resources surveys, including preparation of a Forest Service permit application (submitted Sept 21) and records search. As part of this coordination, Xxxxxx conducted travel planning and acquisition of maps/supplies for site visits; coordinated with the Forest Service regarding the records search and review of the results; and drafted Tribal consultation letters. Ascent began cultural resources surveys the week of October 18, 2021 at the project site, but concluded early due to unforeseen snow conditions, which continued through the winter of 2021/2022. For adequate cultural resources surveys the ground surface must be clearly visible and free of snow. Since then, the project area has been expanded to include new areas and components. Therefore, Ascent will need to prepare a new permit application, conduct new records searches for the new areas, and complete the overall cultural resources surveys. Ascent will prepare cultural documentation to satisfy Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR 800), as required by the Inyo National Forest (INF) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The cultural documentation will follow the requirements as outlined in Stipulation 7.7 and Appendix F of the programmatic agreement (PA) that has been developed among the USFS Pacific Southwest Region, the California State Historic Preservation Officer, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (Region 5 PA). These documents will also be completed in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines and fulfill the requirements of the 2014 Caltrans Programmatic Agreement with the Federal Highway Administration and the California State Historic Preservation Officer for compliance with Section 106 (Caltrans Section 106 PA). These documents will inform preparation of the cultural resources section of the EIR/EIS.
Cultural Resources Survey. This task will include the following: • Conduct a Phase I archeological survey covering the entire length of the project within the limits of permanent and temporary easements. A pedestrian survey will be performed utilizing shovel test excavations in 20- meter intervals along transect(s) within the project limits to identify and assess the status of any cultural deposits or features inside the project limits. • Prepare the cultural resources report based on the background research as well as the field work. The report will include information on any archeological sites identified and recommendation for the proposed project to be in compliance with federal and state regulations regarding cultural resources. The exact locations of any significant prehistoric or historic archeological sites found will be supplied to the OWNER for planning purposes only, with the stipulation that their locations will not be part of any document released to the public. • All work will conform to the standards set for the State of Arkansas which are described in A State Plan for the Conservation of Archeological Resources in Arkansas (Xxxxx, xx. 1982, amended 2010) and the standards set by the U.S. Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeological and Historic Preservation. • Submit the cultural resources report to ANRD, Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, and other agencies/tribes if required for review. Respond to comments and/or questions if required to obtain concurrence on the report. • Phase II (significance testing, deep trenching, removal of cultural features, etc.) and Phase III (site mitigation) are not included in this scope of work.
