Archeological Background Studies. Survey (This scope is for the corresponding section(s) as listed in the Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences section of the EA.) • Archeological Background Study- Engineer shall provide an Archeological Background Study produced by a professional archeologist as defined in 13 TAC §26.4(2). • The Archeological Background Study shall conform to the current Review Standard for Archeological Background Studies, available from the Environmental Compliance Toolkit. • Unless Engineer has previously completed an Archeological Background Study for the project, the Archeological Background Study must define and consider all alternatives selected for detailed study, including all existing right of way, all proposed new right of way, easements (temporary and permanent), and any other project-specific location designated by the State. The Archeological Background study shall consider the likely depth of impacts resulting from the proposed project. The location of all alternatives selected for detailed study shall be presented on a map or maps as part of the Archeological Background Study. • For projects in which an Archeological Background Study has already been completed by the Engineer and the project has materially changed --affecting the project limits, proposed new right of way (if any), easements (if any), any other project-specific location designated by the State, and/or the depth of impacts -- the Archeological Background Study shall incorporate the previous study by reference and focus on the project changes. • To conduct the Archeological Background Study, the professional archeologist shall undertake a review of existing data, including, but not limited to, the Texas Archeological Sites Atlas, geologic maps, soil maps, Potential Archeological Liability Map (PALM) of the project area (if applicable), aerial photographs, and historic maps. Based on this review, the Archeological Background Study shall identify and plot on a map the areas that require field investigation to evaluate the project’s effects on archeological resources and cemeteries and shall identify the areas in which the proposed project would have no effect on archeological resources and cemeteries. The Archeological Background Study shall identify any areas proposed for field investigation where impacts are deep, extending beyond three feet in depth. • Antiquities Permit Application, Field Surveys, and Survey Report - Engineer shall prepare an application for a Texas Antiquities Permit for an archeological survey of the APE, which must be submitted to the State and the THC for approval. Upon issuance of the permit, Engineer shall conduct the archeological field survey to include pedestrian inspection and shovel testing. The Engineer’s Archeologists must excavate shovel tests as appropriate, throughout the APE to characterize the soils, potential disturbances, and determine whether archeological resources are present and, if so, assess those resources. Shovel testing must meet or exceed the Council of Texas Archeologists minimum standards for surveys in Texas. Sites (if any) must be recorded with TARL. The results of the Archeological Survey must be included in a professional report which makes recommendations with respect to archeological resources. The Archeological Survey Report must be submitted to the State for concurrence with the findings. Upon receiving concurrence from the State, Engineer must prepare final report copies. It is assumed that this project will be a no-collect survey; therefore, artifact curation at TARL will not be required. • Engineer shall assume that the total width of new ROW will not exceed 200 feet, and ground disturbances associated with the proposed project will be less than three feet in depth, except where the project crosses waters of the U.S. or new bridge structures or culverts will be constructed. • This scope of work does not include formal National Register eligibility testing of archeological sites or mitigation of adverse effects through data recovery or other means. If required, these services will be performed under a supplemental agreement.
