Section 2: Project Description

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

Complete an intensive Class III cultural inventory of public land administered by the BLM for a fuels reduction, rangeland improvement and habitat enhancement project in Huerfano County, Colorado (see Attachments: Stanley Creek Project Map and Stanley Creek Project Vicinity Map). The contract will consist of Tasks I-V comprising a total of 2300 acres to be inventoried. Work will be carried out by or under the direct supervision of an individual holding a Colorado BLM cultural resource use permit.

The intent of this archeological inventory is to identify, record, and evaluate cultural resources for their potential eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places to aid the BLM in resource management, compile cultural and paleontological data for future research, and to satisfy the BLM’s obligations to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Following the completion of field work the results will be prepared in draft and final report documents that include data synthesis of all cultural resources and analysis within the project area.

The project is located approximately twelve miles southwest of Gardner, Colorado. The inventory area is located within the Huerfano River and Stanley Creek drainages. These watersheds contain intermittent waters which flow north off Slide Mountain. The following legal descriptions are utilizing the 6th Principal Meridian.

2.1 Entire Project Area: 2300 acres

Legal description:

T. 27S, R.71W secs. 18, 19, 30 T. 27S, R.72W secs. 13, 23, 24, 25, 26 T. 28S, R.71W secs. 3, 4

USGS 7.5’ Topo Map Reference: Mosca Pass and Red Wing

The project area consists of open meadows, closed conifer stands, and some open ponderosa pine.

Mature aspen stands with encroaching white fir is present at higher elevations. Intermixed pinyon/juniper woodland are present in the lower elevations. There has been no previous archaeological survey in project area, and limited surveys in the nearby area. However, it is anticipated there is a moderate likelihood of finding both historic and prehistoric cultural resources.

Section 3: Statement of Work

3.0 TASK I: FILE SEARCH, LITERATURE REVIEW

Task I consists of completing a file search overview with a synthesis of data for known historic, ethnographic and archeological data that encompass the project area, and the area within one mile of the project boundary. This research is necessary to identify and compile all available known cultural data previously recorded and inventoried areas that includes recorded resources, isolates, and potential unrecorded resources to develop an interpretive narrative overview for understanding and writing the Literature Review of the project area.

Available existing cultural resource data shall include, but not limited to, BLM Royal Gorge Field Office cultural resource inventory records, Colorado State Institutional Archives, Repositories, listed properties in the State Historic Sites Inventory, National American Engineering Records, and Historic American Buildings Survey records, appropriate historic contexts, and the Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation COMPASS cultural resource database. Other available sources of information may be obtained from, and not limited to, State and National Registers, published and unpublished manuscripts, aerial photographs, General Land Office maps, Mining Ledgers, historical photographs, Museums and library reference material. Data gathered will then be used to develop a Literature Review overview of the project area for prehistoric, historic and potential traditional cultural properties (TCP’s). At the time of submitting this contract, no TCP’s in the project area have been identified by tribes during consultation.

After completion of the file search and Literature Review, the results will need to disseminate the gathered data within summarized tables, maps, photographs, narrative, or other informative formats. The Literature Review will consider explicit types of resources that might be encountered, and potential research questions based on prehistory, historic and ethnology of the Huerfano Park/Western Huerfano County and surrounding region. Applicable contexts that may assist in developing research questions include but is not limited to Synthetic Cultural Resource Overview of the Bureau of Land Management’s Royal Gorge Field Office, Colorado (Greubel, et al. 2017), Colorado Prehistory: A Context for the Arkansas River Basin (Zier and Kalasz, 1999), and Colorado History: A Context for Historical Archaeology (Church, et al. 2007). All discussions will need to be accurately identified and referenced in the bibliography.

Previously recorded resources within one mile shall be presented in a table format. All sites shall be listed with their state trinomial number, site type, date recorded and the previous evaluation status of eligible, not eligible, or unevaluated/needs data to the National Register, and the report reference. Isolated finds and non-eligible resource data may remain in table format. National Register eligible resources, and unevaluated resources, within and immediately adjacent to the APE shall be further described in brief narrative detail as discussion points in support of the Literature Review and anticipated inventory expectations.

A draft of this Literature Review shall be submitted to the COR or PI prior to the issuance of a fieldwork authorization form. After review, the COR/PI may suggest additional comments or directives to ensure a comprehensive overview and developed Literature Review.

3.1 TASK II: INVENTORY AND RESOURCE IDENTIFICATION

Task II consists of completion of a Class III inventory spaced no more than 20 meters apart in accordance with the most current versions of the following documents:

• The BLM State Protocol Agreement (Protocol) with the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) dated October 29, 2014,

• Inventory standards and guidelines are specified in the most current BLM Colorado Handbook of Guidelines and Procedures for Inventory, Evaluation, and Mitigation of Cultural Resources (2026),

• BLM-Colorado Digital Data Specifications Guide 2026,

• Colorado state government document: Office of Archaeology and Historic

Preservation’s “Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Manual: Guidelines for Identification: History and Archaeology,”

• BLM Linear Forms,

• Rocky Mountain District Standards and Procedures, and

• Other supplemental guidance; including any documents or guidance for the survey on USFS lands specific to Forest Service regulations.

Emphasis shall be placed on complete and timely coverage of the area to identify all cultural properties within the area of potential effects (APE) for the project.

3.1.a If there are areas identified that are too steep, vegetation or brush that is extensively thick, or other occurrences that prevent regular pedestrian intensive inventory transects feasible without risk to safety, or poor visibility, the COR/PI will be notified and consulted for further instructions. Such areas may need to be removed or alternative inventory methods to adequately cover the project area. The Contracting Officer will make the determination if areas are to be removed and any needed adjustments to the contract.

3.1.b Each field crew must be supervised in the field by a qualified crew chief listed on the Cultural Resource Use Permit (CRUP). Crew chiefs must be on-site at all times.

3.1.c The Contractor must notify the COR/PI by telephone and with written confirmation immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony (as defined in 43 CFR 10.2) and must immediately stop any activities connected with such discovery and make a reasonable effort to protect the discovered remains or objects.

3.1.d Upon completion of the inventory and identification of cultural resources, the COR/PI may review the results and may provide comments or recommendations to ensure comprehensive coverage of identified resources.

3.1.e Digital Data Deliverables Constraint: All final survey boundaries, site footprints, and Isolated

Finds (IFs buffered to a minimum of 4 meters) must be delivered exclusively as polygon features in an ESRI file geodatabase or shapefile format projected in NAD 1983 UTM Zone 13N. Point or line geometry for boundaries is strictly prohibited. Final reporting and site forms must be delivered as born-digital, fully text-searchable PDFs processed with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) conforming to the PDF/A archival standard. Data delivery via unvetted commercial cloud platforms (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive) is blocked by agency firewalls; all electronic data transfer must occur via secure internal agency Microsoft Teams infrastructure or encrypted physical USB media.

3.1 f If a significant paleontological resource, including but not limited to fossilized flora or faunal remains (older than 100 years) is located during this inventory, the COR/PI will be notified by an email that includes specific location data and photograph(s). Unless it is associated with cultural materials, this does not need to be included in the report deliverables. This contract does not require specialized paleontological personnel. This clause is for inadvertent discoveries of paleontological resources.

3.1 g A BLM fieldwork authorization is required and that form shall be carried with the field crews on the project area. This can be either carried by a crewmember or displayed in the window of the field truck. The Contractor will also need to be valid to conduct survey on USFS lands and acquire a USFS field work authorization (FWA) for the USFS portion of the APE.

3.2 TASK III: RECORD AND EVALUATE IDENTIFIED

HISTORIC/ARCHEOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

Task III consists of two parts. Part 1 involves recording identified cultural sites and Part 2 is the evaluation of those sites for their eligibility for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places. All identified cultural resources shall be recorded in detail utilizing BLM Colorado Handbook of Guidelines and Procedures for Inventory, Rock Mountain District Standards and Procedures and appropriate OAHP site forms. Following BLM Guidelines, site and isolate forms will include relevant diagnostics, features, or other notable characteristics on each site, and forms shall be accompanied with a detailed site sketch map, feature sketch, and the site location identified on a USGS 1:24000 quadrangle map. In addition, all site forms shall have appropriate listed bibliographies of associated utilized/known references associated with site forms. Incomplete site forms will be regarded as unfinished products. Inconsistencies will be corrected prior to acceptance and given state trinomial numbers.

3.2.a There must be sufficient description on the forms for the COR/PI to derive an accurate eligibility assessment. The site description must include number and types of objects present, site dimensions, types of features, topographic location, etc. If any significant disturbances or impacts have occurred, these must be described and photographed. Each form must be legible and must include a formal site map and a USGS 7.5', 1:24,000 scale GIS produced topographic map showing the exact location of the site. Site boundaries must be depicted as accurately on both the site and topographic maps. The topographic map must be clearly labeled with the map name, site number, map scale, north arrow and land status. Site maps must include spatial relationships of features and artifacts to each other and other pertinent non-cultural data or topography (i.e., roads, trees, drainages, etc.). If tools or diagnostic artifacts are present, scaled artifact sketches or photographs must accompany the site form.

3.2.b Collection policy: The RGFO currently has a No-Collection policy. Collections on USFS lands will need to follow their guidance.

3.2.c Evaluation results shall specify the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria set forth in 36CFR60 that applied to determining a significance value and formulating a determination of eligibility. This eligibility recommendation shall be well reasoned for or against nomination to the NRHP. If the site is recommended eligible under Criterion D, the specific research question(s) shall be noted. The NRHP criteria shall be applied to each component of a site. Results shall be summarized in a narrative format formulating the methods applied during the evaluation process. Discussion should include sufficiency of the data recovered and detail reasons for the evaluation methods prescribed, and the potential for the need to conduct additional data recovery to support eligibility determinations. Minimal scraping, probing, or subsurface testing will be allowed to support evaluations. For any properties recommended as eligible, additional recommendations shall be made for treatment, mitigation, fire sensitivity and discussion on notable adverse effects (erosion, cattle, looting, off road vehicles, etc.) to these properties for elevating their protection and management. If a site is identified as a landscape size scale, the COR/PI shall be notified immediately for follow-up recommendations on how to proceed.

3.2.d All historic sites with identifiable features and structures shall include additional supportive

OAHP architectural documentation with photographs, and sketch plan view maps. This documentation shall collaborate with the site sketch map.

3.2.e All prehistoric sites with significant identifiable features shall include additional supportive documentation including descriptions with photographs, and a plan view sketch diagram. This documented data shall collaborate with the site sketch map.

3.2.f If a site is located within the project boundary and extends beyond the inventory area, it will be recorded to a reasonable extent following the BLM Guidelines. The COR/PI should be notified immediately about the site and discuss options to appropriately address the issue. The primary objective is to properly record the site to allow adequate assessment and evaluation of that portion of the site within the area of potential direct and indirect effects based on evaluation criteria.

3.2.g Within fourteen working days of completion of the fieldwork the Contractor will contact the

COR/PI with a progress report. It can be in a brief narrative or table format and will include:

(1) a description of each site and IF including site type, temporal or cultural affiliation, and the NRHP eligibility recommendation; (2) a copy of a 7.5’ topographic map showing the project survey boundary and site and IF locations. The BLM will have two weeks to perform quality control field inspections if warranted. Should the field inspections result in the discovery of inventory or site recording deficiencies, the contractor must address these deficiencies at no cost to the government. This includes, but is not limited to, additional field mobilizations.

3.2.h After the completion of Tasks I - III an invoice may be sent for 50% of the contract award.

3.3 TASK IV: DRAFT INVENTORY REPORT

Task IV consists of writing the draft report, GIS data and draft attachments. This task consists of data synthesis of the results from previous Tasks to develop the Final Report. The report will reflect all fieldwork results accomplished during this contract and should require minimal editing to produce the Final Report. OAHP site forms, figures and maps are referred to as attachments and should also be in a draft state that requires minimal editing before the final attachments are delivered.

3.3.a The draft final report and all required survey information and site and IF forms will meet the guidelines established by the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation, the most current BLM Colorado Handbook of Guidelines and Procedures for Inventory, Evaluation, and Mitigation of Cultural Resources and associated Digital Data Specifications Guide, Colorado SHPO standards, District and field office standards and procedures and other supplemental guidance.

3.3.b The draft final report will include evaluations of all sites, recommendations on National

Register eligibility, and a discussion of site impacts. The evaluations should be made in the context of previous investigations and findings in the general area, and research questions for the region. All sites brought forward as “Need Data” will include a detailed discussion of how field testing was conducted and why field testing was inconclusive and specific recommendations for additional evaluative testing to determine eligibility. The recommendations for site management must take into account the current site condition based on disturbances observed while conducting the field work.

3.3.c The shapefiles must be polygonal (no points or lines) of both the actual area inventoried, and the site and IF boundaries. All shapefiles will be in NAD 83 for submission. The Contractor shall provide all draft data as electronic (.pdf) and Word document files on thumb- drive, or by Secure File Transfer Protocol with software compatible with Bureau of Land Management software.

3.3.d GIS data tables shall conform to BLM guideline standards for attribute table database fields (see Digital Data Specifications Guide).

3.3.e The Draft Report shall be completed within 60 days of the completion or fieldwork. Extensions may be allowed in coordination with BLM. Any extension will be in writing will clearly defined dates for drafts and final report reviews.

3.3.f Within 30 days of submission of the initial Draft Report, the BLM shall provide comments on suggested revisions or modifications of the draft and electronic data. Conversations and corrections will continue until the edits are made and the COR/PI are satisfied the work has met the above guidelines and standards for cultural resource inventory in the RGFO. The USFS will also review any sites recorded on USFS lands. Any delays associated with this secondary review will be clearly communicated with the Contractor.

3.3.g The contractor will submit the Draft Report after internal review and technical editing.

Documents that are submitted without either technical editing or content review may be returned for corrections prior to BLM’s review of the draft. It is advised that the contractor communicate with the BLM if they are having difficulties meeting this requirement and a solution can be worked out and agreed upon by both parties.

3.4.a Task V: FINAL INVENTORY REPORT

3.4.a The COR/PI will inform the contractor when the report is ready to go final.

3.4.b The final report containing all changes and corrections identified from the draft report review shall be submitted within 30 days of receiving the BLM draft report comments. The final report shall be submitted by Secure File Transfer or Rocky Mountain District Archaeological Contractor Microsoft Teams Site and include following:

1. Final Report in PDF format

2. Individual site and isolated find forms in PDF format

3. Shapefiles of survey areas, sites, and isolated finds

A request, in writing, for an extension due to unforeseen circumstances may be granted, but the request must be submitted to the COR/PI three (3) working days before the due date of the final report, and it must clearly state why the extension is needed.

3.4.c Final Report will include one complete copy of a final inventory report presenting results, including appropriate maps, tables, photographs, sketches, attachments (Site and IF forms) and a final copy of electronic GIS site data.

3.4.d After receipt of BLM comments the contractor shall correct any revisions or modifications responsive to comments. The contractor shall submit the final deliverables electronically. This can be done through an FTP site, or via the RGFO Archaeological Contractors Office 365 Team.

3.4.e After delivery of the final report, and acceptance is approved, along with submission of electronic files, and any appropriate Government Furnished Material. The final invoice may be submitted for the remaining 50% of contract.

3.5 Definitions

3.5.a Cultural Resource or Cultural Property: Any definite location of past human activity, occupation, or use, identifiable through field inventory (survey), historical documentation, or oral evidence. This term may be applied to archaeological, historic, or architectural sites, structures or places, or places of traditional cultural or religious importance to specified social and/or cultural groups, whether or not represented by physical remains.

3.5.b Class III inventories: They are professionally conducted, continuous, intensive pedestrian surveys of an entire target area (100%). The goal is locating and recording all cultural resource properties that have surface and exposed-profile indications, through systematic inspection carried out by a crew of trained observers walking a series of parallel transects until the area has been thoroughly examined. Crew spacing should not be wider than 15-20 meters apart.

Intensive inventory describes the distribution of properties in an area; determines the number, location and condition of properties; determines the types of properties actually present within the area; permits classification of individual properties; and records the physical extent of specific properties.

3.5.c Evaluation: The evaluation of cultural resources requires a determination of site eligibility for the NRHP using National Register eligibility criteria (36 CFR 60).

3.5.d Historic Property: Any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP. The term includes, but is not limited to, artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The phrase “eligible for inclusion in the NRHP” includes both properties formally determined as such by the Secretary of the Interior and all other properties that meet National Register listing criteria and those sites already identified as eligible during consultation between the BLM and the Colorado

SHPO.

3.5.e Undertakings: Actions assisted, licensed, permitted, approved, funded, or authorized by BLM, as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations [36 CFR 800.2(o)]. Undertakings for which BLM is considered the lead agent, whether or not they involve federal lands, are federal actions.

3.6 Government Furnished Material
