Tribal Resources. Indian tribal resources may be available for use under this agreement through the use of existing Bureau of Indian Affairs/tribal cooperative agreements. In such instances, the cooperative agreement will be incorporated into the local operating plan by reference.
Tribal Resources. Specific locations for the construction and maintenance of biological conservation measures along the Colorado River have not yet been determined. Conservation measures would not be located on tribal lands without the express consent of and desire by the tribe(s).

Tribal Resources. Tribal members that participated in the field surveys used the following terms to describe resources significant to the tribes: cairns, depressions, stone circles, and ceremonial, cosmological, faunal, or spirit track sites. Many of these resources are also considered archaeological resources or resource types as described below. Potential Eligibility of Tribal Resources Tribal resources include locations with religious and cultural significance to tribes. OEA acknowledges that tribes possess special expertise identifying cultural resources with religious and cultural significance. OEA presumes all of the newly identified tribal resources as eligible for listing in the National Register for the purposes of the EIS. The evaluation of these resources for the National Register would not be undertaken unless the Board licenses a build alternative, and would follow the procedures set forth in the Programmatic Agreement, which would involve participation by the tribes. Archaeological Resources Lithic Scatters Lithic scatters are by far the most common site type (precontact or historic) in the APE. These sites consist of culturally modified stone tool materials, including projectile points (e.g., spear tips, atlatl dart tip, arrowheads), tools (e.g., scrapers, choppers, hammerstones), tested cobbles, waste flakes (associated with cobble testing, and projectile point or tool manufacture), and ground stone artifacts (e.g., manos, metates). Porcellanitet (porcelaneous fused shales) was the principal material represented in chipped stone assemblages, with small quantities of various cryptocrystalline silicates (chert, jasper, chalcedony) and quartzites also present. Lithic Scatters with Other Components Lithic scatters, as defined above, are often found associated with other types of precontact cultural features. These often include stone circles and cairns, as described below. Other features often associated with lithic scatters in the APE included quarry sites, bedrock milling features, and historic-period petroglyphs. Quarry sites are, in essence, lithic scatters whose implied origin is that of lithic tool source material extraction and testing. These sites occur at bedrock outcrops or areas of abundant surface cobbles and gravels. By nature, quarry sites are typically fairly large and contain a much higher percentage of primary reduction material and tested cobbles when compared with general lithic scatters. Petroglyphs are rock art created by physical removal of...
Tribal Resources. Section 106 of the NHPA also requires federal agencies to consult with federally recognized American Indian Tribes that attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties that may be affected by the agency’s undertaking. Corps Tribal Consultation Policy mandates an open, timely, meaningful, collaborative, and effective deliberative communication process that emphasizes trust, respect, and shared responsibility. The policy further emphasizes that, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, consultation works toward mutual consensus and begins at the earliest planning stages before decisions are made and actions taken. The Corps final eligibility and effect determination will be based on coordination with interested tribes, in accordance with the Corps current tribal standard operating procedures as appropriate and required, and with full consideration given to the proposed undertaking’s potential direct and indirect effects on tribal resources. The Corps has contacted all federally recognized American Indian Tribes declaring an interest in resources located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, regarding its participation in the PA and will consider any comments received in response to tribal notifications.
