10. FIELD SURVEYS.

Survey

Following Government approval of the Survey Plan, the contractor shall conduct a thorough heritage resource survey within the Survey Needs Area boundary. A thorough survey includes a systematic pedestrian examination, to the Inventory Survey Coverage specified on the Project Map, of the surface of the Project Survey area. Beyond the exposure of the ground surface for assistance in ground visibility, no subsurface excavation is authorized. The Contractor shall employ the following survey intensities and standards:

1. Sub item b - Complete Survey Coverage: This type of coverage shall be sufficient to allow the investigators to encounter the smallest of archaeological sites likely to occur in an area, based on pre-field research. Traverses or transects between members of the survey crew shall be a maximum of 0-30 meters apart, depending upon the ground visibility and slope.

2. Non-surveyable Inventory: These acres are considered by the Government to be too steep, brushy (or otherwise unsafe), or of exceedingly low sensitivity for heritage resources, and are therefore excluded from physical examination. All areas designated as surveyable on the Government provided map shall be surveyed at the "Complete Survey Coverage" level unless a different level of coverage is mutually agreed upon prior to fieldwork. The Contractor may not designate any areas as "non-surveyable" without approval of the Government. There will be no compensation for "non-surveyable" acres. Non-linear sites that straddle the Boundary: All non-linear sites that straddle or are directly adjacent to "Survey Needs" polygon boundaries shall be treated as if they fall entirely within the "Survey Needs" polygons. If nonlinear sites exceed the quantity on the Task Order Form then GPS coordinates shall be taken as a point feature and reported in the next Session Report.

3. Linear sites that straddle the Boundary: All linear sites that straddle the "Survey Needs" polygon boundaries shall be recorded and flagged and tagged 50 meters outside of the "Survey Needs" polygon boundary. Each segment of linear sites that exceeds the quantity on the Task Order Form shall have GPS coordinates recorded as a point and reported in the next Session Report.

Standard: The Contractor shall record all coverage changes on a 7.5 Minute USGS Quadrangle Map after discussing them with the Government. The changes on this map shall be digitized and included in the final GIS coverage layer. This acreage will be computed for final payment. A copy of this map and a discussion of rationale behind the change of Survey coverage shall be included with the next Session Report after approval of the survey coverage changes. Final payment will be made on actual survey coverage applied in the field as based on the contractors digitization, as approved by the Government. Non-surveyed areas shall be digitized as non-surveyable.

Record Sites

Sub items c, d, e, f and g. Record New Prehistoric and Historic Sites: The Contractor shall record all newly discovered: prehistoric and historical heritage resources within the survey polygons. A GPS device shall be used to record the location of all site boundaries and datum - See Datum section. All sites and isolates shall be digitally photographed. Representative photos of sites shall include at least two overview shots (looking across the site in a cardinal direction), and photos of artifact concentrations and/or features.

Paper copies of the photos shall be included with the DPR forms, and JPEGs will be supplied to the

Government electronically.

Standard:

Procedures: All recording shall conform to the Applicable Documents. If there is any professional disagreement during the term of this contract as to the age, condition, significance, previous use, status, size, or connectivity of a site or artifact, the Governments determination is final.

Isolates: Isolates shall be recorded via GPS to include a brief description (isolate number, era (P/H/M), count, type of artifact) in a data dictionary. Diagnostic projectile points will be photographed; JPEGs with associated coordinates will be supplied to the Government electronically.

Non-Linear Site Boundaries, Flagging: Site boundaries are defined as five meters out from the nearest historic or prehistoric artifact/feature. The contractor shall flag all site boundaries with orange and white striped flagging at a height of at least 5 feet if physically possible. A minimum of three flags shall be visible from any point outside of the site boundary looking in. The Contractor shall include all site loci within one site boundary as appropriate. If the site loci and/or features are separated by 200 meters or more;

record and flag these as separate sites and report in the next Session Report.

Linear Site Boundaries, Flagging: Site boundaries are defined as five meters out from the last artifact or feature. The contractor shall flag all site boundaries on the outside boundary with orange and white striped flagging at a height of at least 5 feet if physically possible. A minimum of four flags should be visible from any point outside of the site boundary. Linear features associated with an existing site that have not been recorded shall be recorded as a new site. Features associated with linear sites, such as, but not limited to wooden structures, artifact concentrations, and historic refuse, shall be recorded as a separate site. Linear sites shall be recorded by GPS coordinates as a "line feature" down the center, and be recorded as a separate site. Each site record shall mention any associated sites.

Datum: A site datum shall be established and recorded by GPS coordinates as a point feature. This data shall be entered on the Primary Record P2.d. UTMs.

Numbering: The Forest will provide a block of site numbers to the contractor at the pre-work meeting.

Forms: Draft forms shall be complete and legible. All site boundaries shall be recorded in meters. Site location maps shall include GPS coordinates of site boundary, FS site number, identification of site location with a FS site number, project name, ASR number, quad map name and year of revision, scale of map, and North arrow. Historic features are recorded in English rule, except for measurement from Datum to feature and/or artifacts, which shall be recorded in meters. All heritage resource site records shall be recorded using the format approved by the California State Historic Preservation Office (DPR-523) and the Klamath National Forest artifact recording, collection and task order procedures. Required photos shall be submitted as prints and .jpeg images. The contractor shall include the project name, ASR number, quad map name and year of revision, scale of map, and North arrow on all project maps. The Archaeological Site Record, the Linear Site Record, and the Artifact Record, shall be filled out as appropriate. The Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) number will be provided to the contractor at the pre-work meeting.

Documentation: Draft documentation shall be complete and legible. The contractor shall include the project name, ASR number, quad map name and year of revision, scale of map, and North arrow on all project maps. The Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) number will be provided to the contractor at the pre-work meeting.

GPS Requirements. A Resource Grade (preferably Trimble, no recreational GPS allowed) Global Positioning (GPS) system shall be used to record the location of site and isolates. The contractor shall furnish:

a. The uncorrected GPS files.

b. The Base Files used to make corrections.

c. Corrected GPS files.

d. GPS files exported as an ARC GIS shape file.

Artifacts within sites less than one acre may be recorded by GPS at the contractors discretion. A representative example of formed tools or archaeological features should be recorded by GPS at sites larger than one acre. All sites shall have their boundaries recorded as an area feature, and linear sites shall be recorded as a linear feature down the middle.

All GPS locations shall be to within plus or minus 3 meters horizontal distance at 68% probability of their actual location. The mapped locations shall be recorded in NAD 83, CONUS, UTM Zone 10, and meters.

Suggested receiver settings include 3D Mode, a PDOP of 8, SNR of 6, and Elevations Mask of 15 degrees.

The Contractor shall include data verifying the accuracy of the mapped locations in relationship to the actual location. The Contractor shall submit the verification to the Government in the form of survey notes, and GPS files with META data. The mapped locations shall be converted to ArcGIS shapefiles before they are submitted to the Government.
