C-1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

Item 1 - Cultural Resource Survey

The contract area lies within the administrative boundaries of the Lakeview Ranger District of the Fremont-Winema National Forest in south-central Oregon. The project, called the South Warner EA, covers 70,996 acres (Figure 1). Within the defined project boundary, 30 high probability areas, areas that are the more likely to contain cultural resources, were determined. High probability areas were determined using environmental data, such as distance from water, slope and proximity to distinct ecotone changes, and previously known cultural site data. The high probability areas were then randomly numbered as cultural survey units.

Thirty (30) survey units (Units SW-1 to SW-30) need to be covered by a cultural resource survey (Figures 2-13). In addition to the survey units, 26 known sites need to be found, assessed for condition, and site report data updated. Prior to survey, existing archaeological, historical, and ethnographical information relevant to the project area shall be reviewed. This material shall include, but is not limited to, past Forest Service survey reports.

Professional cultural resource survey techniques shall be employed. Transect spacing shall be no more than 20 meters except as noted below. Coverage may use, where appropriate, meander, contour, or compass oriented transects. Areas more likely to contain archaeological sites (for example; adjacent to streams, prominent ridges, rock overhangs, etc.) shall be investigated more intensively using transects spaced ten meters apart. Contractor shall make a reasonable effort to locate sites in areas with minimal mineral soil visibility by closely examining mineral soil exposures such as the back dirt of rodent burrows and root-wads. If ground visibility is less than 10%, the Contractor can boot scrape approximately one (1) meter square area. The Contractor shall re-spread the duff removed when examination of the mineral soil in the scraped area is completed.

Recommendations shall be made by the contractor as to areas requiring further examination, including subsurface testing. However, no subsurface testing is to be conducted under this contract.

Avoid areas of extreme health hazard (i.e.; hazardous materials, burning fires, etc.), note the location of such areas and make their location known to the Forest Service. Changes in survey strategy due to environmental conditions shall be discussed with the COR. Significant changes shall be approved by the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to making the change.

Contact with the COR and Government Technical Monitor (Inspector) shall be maintained consistently throughout the cultural resource survey.

When cultural sites are found, a buffer shall be flagged. The buffer shall extend 10 meters out from the site boundary. Each flag shall be readily visible and spaced 10 meters apart, using designated color flagging provided by the COR. Isolates shall not be flagged.

Central or off-site datums shall be established at each cultural site found. Each datum tag shall be inscribed with the date of documentation and a Fremont-Winema Forest site number. Datums shall be identified by the Contractor using two aluminum tags supplied by the COR. The COR will provide instruction on how to number the sites according to the Fremont-Winema Forest numbering system. If a tree is used as a datum point, then one tag shall be nailed to the base (no more than 6" from the ground) and one tag shall be nailed to the trunk at eye level. Do no use trees with trunks <10 inch DBH. Do not pound in the nails so that they are flush with the trunk. Ensure that a ¼ of the length of nail protrudes outward from the trunk. The site form shall contain a description of the datum and the cardinal direction the tag is facing.

A UTM coordinate shall be taken from the cultural site datum and isolate location using Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment capable of being downloaded and post-processed. A minimum of 30 points shall be collected at the datum using a maximum PDOP of 8. For sites larger than about 30m diameter, a GPS polygon representing the area of the site shall also be collected.

The Contractor shall maintain a survey notebook with draft copies of site records. The notebook, or a readable copy of the notebook, shall be provided to the Forest Service upon completion of the field survey.

All cultural site records shall be documented using the Oregon SHPO site forms. Each site record shall include at a minimum: a cultural site form, sketch map, location map, and labeled photographs.

Each cultural site record shall contain a statement giving directions to the site, as part of the site location information. Directions to the site shall be specific, giving road names and/or numbers, distances, and direction. Directions shall be sufficient for someone to navigate from either the Lakeview Ranger District office as appropriate to the site without prior knowledge of the area.

The cultural site data should provide a detailed description of the site, including an overall description of the site, artifact and feature descriptions, artifact densities, artifact and feature sketches or maps, and whatever other information is pertinent and necessary to characterize the site.

If diagnostic artifacts are present, an appropriately referenced date range for each artifact shall be indicated on the site form.

Descriptions of disturbances to the site shall be detailed. Whenever possible describe the severity of the impacting agent(s). For example, use words like “intense,” “minimal,” or “light.” If erosion is noted, describe the erosion type (i.e. rill, pedestalling, and/or sheet erosion). Describe cattle damage in detail (i.e. post holing, trampling, wallowing, and/or trailing). If cattle are trailing, describe the number of trails and the depth and width of the trails.

Report the discovery of human remains, burial sites, looting or vandalism to the COR immediately. The COR will ensure that NAGPRA and ARPA provisions are implemented such as contacting appropriate tribes, law enforcement, medical examiner and the forest archaeologist. Human remains shall at all times be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. For looting and/or vandalism cases, keep personnel out of the area, note site location, take no more than five overview photographs with photo documentation noted on a separate photo log and leave the area. Vendors may be approached by and should cooperate with law enforcement.

Document whether or not a site maybe sensitive to fire. For example, describe the fuel load present on and/or around the site (i.e. Is highly flammable vegetation present? What is the fuel load depth?).

Document wood remains at historic sites. Note if an arborglyph or culturally modified tree is in a dense thicket of immature trees. Note if the cultural material or features present on site could be affected by thermal alteration.

Cultural site sketch maps shall be on 8-1/2 x 11 inch graph paper, complete with appropriate scale, orientation (north arrow) and legend identifying symbols used. The site datum, site boundaries, site buffer, notable ecological features, cultural features, diagnostic artifacts, non-diagnostic tools (bifaces, hammerstones, groundstone, etc.), looted/vandalized disturbance areas and pertinent cultural data shall be included on the site sketch maps. All attachments shall be clearly labeled and identified.

A minimum of two digital pictures (maximum of 3 megapixel resolution) shall be taken of each known site. One picture of the site datum in relation to the overall site and one overview picture of the site showing the general topography. Additional photographs showing pertinent site characteristics, features, and diagnostic artifacts (with scale) may also be included. A photographic log shall be kept of the photographs taken.

Note in table format all isolates in the survey report. An isolate form shall be completed only for prehistoric diagnostic isolates. The date range for diagnostic artifacts should be stated on the form with an appropriate reference. Accompanying the form should be a USGS 7.5’ topographic map showing the isolate location. All prehistoric diagnostic artifacts shall be photographed. All isolate photographs shall be included with the isolate form. Do not flag or establish a datum for isolates.

Sites located during the survey that are found to extend outside of the survey area shall be documented in-full unless the site is found to extend onto private property. If the site is found to extend onto private property, the sketch map and site description shall indicate that the site continues for an unknown distance.

A draft report and final report, including all specified documentation, shall be submitted to the COR.

The report shall meet SHPO specifications for format and content. The report shall include as appendices; survey maps, complete cultural site forms, photographs of the cultural sites, complete prehistoric diagnostic isolate forms for isolates and complete revisited cultural site condition assessment forms with associated maps, sketches and photographs.

The report shall include a management summary, summary of work accomplished and a list of all cultural sites recorded in the project area (both previously and newly recorded cultural sites). Included in this list shall be the site # (both agency number and trinomial if assigned), site type (i.e., lithic scatter, can scatter, etc.), and post-processed GPS coordinates (UTM). Include in the final report a brief description of noted but not formally recorded cultural items (i.e. items which do not meet cultural site and isolate definitions, or which are not more than 50 years old).

Survey coverage maps shall be made employing USGS 7.5 minute series quads. A unit area map depicting location of units, an area surveyed map depicting transects, and a cultural site location map (including new and previously recorded sites) shall be made for each unit. For cultural sites that are less than about 30 meter diameter, plot the site as a point. For cultural sites that are larger than about 30 meter diameter, plot the site as a polygon. Each site shall be clearly labeled on the location map. All maps shall list base map, scale, township and range. On photocopies of USGS 7.5' series quadrangle maps, the section lines and section numbers shall be clearly visible or highlighted.

Provide the Forest Service with a bound paper copy of the final report, three unbound copies of the final report as well as a PDF and an editable Word 2013 copy of the final survey report and site reports, GIS shapefiles (ArcGIS 10.5.1 shapefiles or shapefiles compatible to ArcGIS 10.5.1 for each site and isolate), and original contractor field notes on a removable hard drive. All reports and forms shall be neatly formatted and typed (in Word 2013 format). The unbound copy of the final report shall be printed on acid-free paper (including cultural site and isolate forms).

Provide both the raw and post-processed GPS data files as well as ArcGIS 10.5.1 shapefiles or shapefiles compatible to ArcGIS 10.5.1 to the COR with the final report.

Human remains shall at all times be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. For looting and/or vandalism cases, keep personnel out of the area, note site location, take no more than five overview photographs with photo documentation noted on a separate photo log and leave the area. Vendors may be approached by and should cooperate with law enforcement.

Document whether or not a site maybe sensitive to fire. For example, describe the fuel load present on and/or around the site (i.e. Is highly flammable vegetation present? Guess what the fuel load depth is).

Document wood remains at historic sites. Note if an arborglyph or culturally modified tree is in a dese thicket of immature conifers. Note if the cultural material or features present on site could be affected by thermal alteration.

If diagnostic artifacts are present, an appropriately referenced date range for each artifact shall be indicated on the site form.

Cultural site sketch maps shall be on 8-1/2 x 11 inch graph paper, complete with appropriate scale, orientation (north arrow) and legend identifying symbols used. The site datum, site boundaries, site buffer, notable ecological features, cultural features, diagnostic artifacts, non-diagnostic tools (bifaces, hammerstones, groundstone, etc.), looted/vandalized disturbance areas and pertinent cultural data shall be included on the site sketch maps. Make a note on the form and maps that the site continues for an unknown distance, if a site is found to extend onto private property. All attachments shall be clearly labeled and identified.

A minimum of two digital pictures (maximum of 3 megapixel resolution) shall be taken of each known site. One picture of the site datum in relation to the overall site and one overview picture of the site showing the general topography. Additional photographs showing pertinent site characteristics, features, and diagnostic artifacts (with scale) may also be included. A photographic log shall be kept of the photographs taken.

Locate the original datum. If the original datum cannot be located, establish central or off-site datums at each known site that is revisited. Datums shall be identified by the Contractor using two aluminum tags supplied by the COR. Tag both new and original datums. Tags shall be inscribed with the date of visit and the assigned agency site number. If a tree is used as a datum point, then one tag shall be nailed to the base (no more than 6" from the ground) and one tag shall be nailed to the trunk at eye level. The condition assessment form shall contain a description of the datum and the cardinal direction the tag is facing.

A UTM coordinate shall be taken from the new or original site datum location using Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment capable of being downloaded and post-processed. A minimum of 30 points shall be collected at the datum using a maximum PDOP of 8. For sites larger than about 30m diameter, a GPS polygon representing the area of the site shall also be collected.

Flag a buffer around each known site revisited. The buffer shall extend 10 meters out from the site boundary. Each flag shall be readily visible from the adjacent flag, using designated color flagging provided by the COR.

Sites that are found to extend outside of the survey area shall be documented in-full unless the site is found to extend onto private property. If the site is found to extend onto private property, the sketch map and site description shall indicate that the site continues for an unknown distance.

C-5 DEFINITIONS

Artifact: any portable object, at least 50 years old, that shows evidence of human manufacture, modification, or use.

Cultural: of, or pertaining to culture. The regularized, patterned, learned behavior shared by members of an interacting social group and passed from generation to generation, comprising the groups technology, economy, religion, arts, social organization, and more. A groups partly subconscious consensus on how things are done. Aspects of culture vary among contemporary groups and change through time. Culture may be viewed as a complex set of instrumental behaviors interposed between a group and its natural and social environment, and may be said to constitute the groups adaptation to its environment.

Central Datum: a fixed reference point established near the center of a cultural site. It is used to make horizontal measurements during site mapping and to mark the site for future identification.

Cultural Resource Survey: a continuous surface inspection of an entire survey area, aimed at locating and recording all cultural properties that have surface indications, by walking close-interval (≤20 meters) parallel transects until the area has been thoroughly examined.

Cultural Site: a location of human activity, occupation, or use identifiable through a cultural resource survey. A site consists of at least ten associated artifacts within a 30 meter diameter area, or a single feature.

Data Dictionary: used by GPS units to collect selected information; equivalent to a paper form providing a list of features and/or attributes to be selected during GPS collection describing site characteristics. A data dictionary specifically designed by the USFS (Pathfinder Office v.5.10) for this contract will be made available to the contractor.

Diagnostic Artifact: a time sensitive artifact used for relative dating (e.g., projectile point, amethyst glass, glass or ceramic container with makers mark, tin can with soldered hole-in-top, etc.). If diagnostic artifacts are present, an appropriately referenced date range for each artifact shall be indicated on the site form.

Dilution of Precision (DOP): an indicator of the quality of a GPS derived position. It is the result of a calculation that takes into account each satellites location relative to the other satellites in the constellation to predict the accuracy of positions obtained with that constellation. A low DOP indicates a higher probability of location accuracy.

Feature: literally, human made, not natural; any non-portable object that shows evidence of human manufacture, modification, or use.

Global Positioning System (GPS): a locational system which uses satellites to precisely plot a spot on the surface of the earth. GPS units used by/for the Forest Service must be capable of being downloaded and post-corrected. Executive Order 12906 and OMB Circular No. A-16 requires the collection and maintenance of spatial data collected by/for the federal government comply with specified precision and accuracy standards. Most recreation grade GPS units are unable to be post-processed and thus the accuracy of the data generated by them cannot be verified.

Isolate: a location of human activity consisting of fewer than ten associated artifacts within a 30 meter diameter area.

Mineral soil: exposed ground areas devoid of vegetation.

Off-Site Datum: a fixed reference point established outside a cultural site boundary. It is used to make horizontal measurements during site mapping and to mark the site for future identification.

Point Dilution of Precision (PDOP): type of DOP measurement. A numerical figure of merit expressing the relationship between the error in user position and the error in satellite position. Values considered good for positioning are low. Low PDOP is associated with widely separated satellites. A PDOP Mask of ‘8’sets the highest value at which a GPS receiver will be allowed to compute positions.

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM): mapping coordinate grid system based upon one of many different mapping projections. The Forest Service in Region 6 uses a projection in UTM Zone 10, North American Datum of 1983 (CONUS NAD83). The data is displayed in meters easting and northing.
