Common use of Undertaking has Cultural Resources Present Clause in Contracts

Undertaking has Cultural Resources Present. Additional consideration must be given to those undertakings where archaeological sites or TCPs are identified during the pre-field information review, or when archaeological sites or TCPs are identified during the pedestrian cultural resources inventory. This policy does not apply to isolated occurrences. Once identified, Conservation Planners must notify the NRCS Utah State or Area CRS and schedule a field visit. The NRCS Utah CRS will formally document the cultural resource and determine its eligibility for the NRHP. To be considered as a Category III undertaking, the NRCS Utah CRS will coordinate with Conservation Planners to ensure that the proposed conservation activities, practices, or enhancements can be designed to avoid the cultural resource by at least 50 feet to reduce or eliminate impacts to the cultural resource. Additional consultation is required for cultural resources that cannot be avoided by 50 feet during implementation.
