Archeological Survey. The Consultant will conduct a file search and Class III inventory for the 100-acre GA development area. Prior to the Class III inventory, the Consultant will conduct a file search through the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation’s online Compass database. A preliminary review of the project area indicates there are no previously recorded sites in the parcel. One archaeologist will inventory the planned 100-acre block area, with transects spaced no more than 20 meters apart. The survey will follow established standards for Class III inventories in Colorado. Areas of steep terrain (greater than 35 percent slope) will be visually inspected, but not surveyed. When cultural material is found, Alpine’s archaeologists will closely inspect the area around the discovery to determine if Yampa Valley Regional Airport GA Development Area Analysis Scope of Services December 2021 a site or isolated find is present. The resource will be fully documented on the appropriate Cultural Resource Site Forms and its location recorded with a GPS unit capable of submeter accuracy. Upon completion of fieldwork, Alpine will prepare a Class III inventory report that details the findings of the survey. The report will be accompanied by project area maps and completed site forms. The report will be submitted digitally to the SHPO and tribal groups for review. Assumptions: • Up to 100 acres will be surveyed • 2 sites and 2 isolated finds will be found. This includes the standing structure and the structures shown on the USGS topographic map • Fieldwork will take a one-person crew three days to complete • If site density is higher than budgeted, we may need a cost modification to cover the additional time and effort to record and report on these resources.
Archeological Survey. A. Prior to commencement of any ground-disturbing construction activities associated with the Project, an archaeological field survey (Survey) shall be completed by an archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for historic archaeology (as per 36 CFR § 61), as contracted by the Developer.
Archeological Survey. Archeological Resource Studies and coordination shall be performed following TxDOT’s Environmental Handbook for Archeological Sites and Cemeteries and the appropriate TxDOT Review Standard. An Intensive Archeological Survey as defined in 13 TAC 26.15(6) and 13 TAC 26.25(h) will be performed to satisfy the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106 and Texas Antiquities Code requirements for determining whether archeological sites are present in the project area of potential effects (APE), and whether test excavations or a higher level of archeological work is needed. A professional archeologist shall prepare a Texas Antiquities Permit application and scope of work for approval by the State and the Texas Historical Commission (THC) prior to conducting the Archeological Survey. The intensive archeological survey shall conform to the THC’s Survey Standards for Texas, which include the excavation of 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. In addition, if new ROW and/or easements are required within 25-feet of the Pleasant Valley Cemetery adjacent to the existing Xxxxxxx Road ROW, survey methods shall include scraping to a depth adequate to determine whether grave shafts or burials occur in the APE, in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between TxDOT and the THC (13 TAC 26.25[k][4]). Following the field survey, an Archeological Survey Report shall be prepared for coordination with TxDOT and the THC. The report shall fulfill the reporting requirements for the Texas Antiquities Permit.
Archeological Survey. The Architect/Engineer will engage an Archeological and Architectural Historian to provide investigations and documentation of the sites of Xxxx State Hospital buildings 505, 506, 508, 509, 510 and 516 to verify there are no issues for proper demolition to allow construction of the Project, as more defined in Attachment K, Archaeological and Architectural History Investigations Proposal.” 2.
