Archaeological Resources. 1. All archaeological investigations shall be carried out in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Conduct of Archaeological Surveys and Guidelines for Archaeological Investigations in Pennsylvania (2008). 2. The following types of ground-disturbing activities have the potential to affect archaeological resources: a. Ground-disturbing site preparation, such as grading or excavation, in connection with property relocation or new construction. b. Footing and foundation work occurring more than two feet from any existing footings or foundations, including soils improvement/densification techniques. c. Installation of underground utilities such as sewer and water lines, storm drains, electrical, gas or xxxxx lines and septic tanks, except where installation is restricted to areas previously disturbed by installation of these utilities. d. Installation of underground irrigation or sprinkler systems, except where installation is restricted to areas previously disturbed by such systems. e. Landscaping, tree and vegetation plantings. f. Excavations required for drainage improvements. g. Excavations required for geotechnical and soils percolation purposes. h. Ground-disturbing maintenance and repair of existing parks, playgrounds, and associated landscape features, including plantings, fences, and in-kind replacement of dead, overgrown, or unsafe landscape features. 3. The Certified Staff shall also conduct a historic documents search, to include historic maps, in order to determine past land-use in the project area and assess the potential of the project area to contain archaeological resources that may be eligible for listing in the National Register. When an undertaking may include the foregoing types of ground-disturbing activities, and prior to any substantial ground disturbance associated with Program activities, the Certified Staff shall consult with the SHPO to determine if the project area contains known archaeological resources, including human remains, that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register, or if there is a high probability that such resources may be present within the project area. 4. When archaeological resources, including human remains, are found that meet the National Register criteria, the Certified Staff and the HUD- funding recipient will work with SHPO staff to redesign the undertaking to avoid the resources and allow for preservation in place, whenever feasible. When it is determined infeasible to avoid the archaeological resources, the Certified Staff will consult with the SHPO to develop a treatment plan to avoid adverse effects, consistent with the ACHP's Handbook, Treatment of Archeological Properties. 5. If it has been determined that an undertaking will have an adverse effect on an archaeological resource determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register, then, prior to taking any action that could affect the resource, the Certified Staff shall consult with the SHPO and the ACHP, in accordance with 36 CFR Part 800, to develop an appropriate treatment/mitigation plan
