PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
FY22 Warm Springs GeoVisions Crates Point Determination of Eligibility Wasco County, OR
GENERAL STATEMENT:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) (Agencies) are jointly responsible for compliance with Sections 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) under the terms of the 2009 Systemwide Programmatic Agreement (SWPA) for management of historic properties affected by operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). The Corps, Portland District manages Bonneville, The Dalles, and John Day Projects, which are part of the FCRPS.
The FCRPS Cultural Resource Program works closely with interested and affected tribes, state historic preservation offices, and other agencies for cultural resource management in compliance with sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. The Corps is the land manager of Bonneville Project and gathers data to assess the condition of historic properties located on Project lands and other lands within the area of potential effects (APE) for Project operations. A determination of eligibility (DOE) is a legally recognized finding that a property meets the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). Under Sections 106 and 110, eligible properties require the same consideration as properties formally listed in the National Register; the federal agency official considers the effects of an undertaking upon them. In the case of sites located within the FCRPS, the effect continues to occur due to the on-going nature of the undertaking, the operation of the dams and reservoirs for authorized purposes.
Work outlined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) includes a determination of eligibility for a district at Crates Point. This evaluation and determination of eligibility will assist in the development of long-term cultural resource management decisions. Presently there nine (9) identified archaeological sites within the Corps owned portion of Crates Point, with three (3) additional sites immediately adjacent to Corps property. This contract will focus on the sites on Corps property but may include recommendations for sites off Corps property.
