Archaeological Survey Requirements. This stipulation requires that the lessee provide to BOEM, in the associated plan submissions, a description of the methods it will use to conduct archaeological surveys in support of meteorological and oceanographic buoy siting and SAP and COP development, in addition to the survey results. The lessee is required to coordinate a Tribal pre-survey meeting with Tribes that have cultural and/or historical ties to the Lease Area, and the lessee must work with BOEM to identify such Tribes. In the post-review discovery clauses, the stipulation requires that, in the event of an unanticipated discovery of a potential archaeological resource, the lessee will immediately halt bottom-disturbing activities occurring within 50 meters (164 feet) or less of the discovery and that the avoidance distance must be calculated from the maximum discernible extent of the archaeological resource. The lessee must follow the procedures in 30 CFR § 585.702 to notify BOEM of the discovery and provide written notification using the State of Oregon’s Inadvertent Discovery Plan template, available at: xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/cis/Pages/archaeology.aspx.
Archaeological Survey Requirements. BOEM proposes a modification of BOEM’s prior lease stipulations regarding archaeological survey requirements. The revised stipulation would require that the Lessee provide a description of the methods it uses to conduct archaeological surveys in support of Plans (i.e., SAP and/or COP), in addition to survey results. The Lessee would be required to coordinate a Tribal pre-survey meeting with Tribes identified by XXXX and in the NATCP. In the post-review discovery clauses, the revised stipulation would require that, in the event of unanticipated discovery of a potential archaeological resource, the Lessee would immediately halt bottom-disturbing activities within the area of discovery by a minimum of 50 meters (164 feet), and the avoidance distance must be calculated from the maximum discernible extent of the archaeological resource. The revised stipulation would also add a requirement in the post-review discovery clauses that the Lessee refer to the NATCP for additional guidance on notifications.
