Attachment 1. 26

BACKGROUND: 27

Camp Douglas was established as an Army post on October 26, 1862, and the name was changed on December 30, 28 1878, to Fort Douglas. Jurisdiction over 9,190 acres of land was ceded to the U.S. by the Governor of Utah in 1904. 29

The net area of the installation subject to the Findings and Determination is the 7,898.12 acres of Fort Douglas as 30 of 24 December 1941, which included 3,343.31 acres acquired in fee and 4,554.81 acres acquired by transfer. Fort 31 Douglas was established as an Army post and was declared a military installation by an Executive Order on 32

September 3, 1867. Government construction and improvements included 137 buildings, including training, 33 storage and administrative structures, family housing, and miscellaneous support facilities and utilities. In the later 34

1960s, the mission of the facilities was to support active Army and Armed Forces Reserve component training in 35 Utah, Idaho and Montana. Portions of the property were transferred to other entities beginning in 1874. The 36 majority of the area was disposed in the late 1940s and mid-1960s. Portions of Fort Douglas were conveyed to Salt 37

Lake City, the U.S. Department of the Interior, the State of Utah, the University of Utah, the Veterans 38

Administration, the U.S. Navy, the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 39 Currently, the property is owned by various entities, including those aforementioned, and many private 40 individuals. Two areas are still in active use by the Department of Defense and therefore not eligible for the 41

Formerly Used Defense Site program. These areas are a Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center (approximately 15 42 acres) and an area of the former Fort Douglas occupied by the U.S. Army Reserve 96th Regional Support Command 43

(approximately 51 acres). According to the Preliminary Assessment of Eligibility for the Fort Douglas Toxic Exercise 44

Area (J08UT1103), 3651.22 acres of the original Fort Douglas acreage were found to be eligible as separate FUDS 45

Property. Therefore, the net eligible area under this property is 4,246.9 acres. 46

The 1,459-acre Impact Area MRS is in Salt Lake County, Utah and encompasses the land rising from eastern Salt 48

Lake City onto the front slopes of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The MRS was used by the Army to 49 train infantry, cavalry, and artillery units between 1862 and the late 1960s. The MRS consists of the artillery 1 impact areas in the mountains. Munitions known or suspected to have been used on the MRS including small arms 2 munitions, grenades, rockets, riot control agents, bombs, illumination signals, and small and large caliber artillery 3 and mortar rounds. No MEC was observed during the Site Inspection (SI) field activities. However, MD including 4 the (inert) fuze assembly for a 3.5- inch diameter rocket, fragments of 37mm projectiles, expended .30 caliber ball 5 munitions, expended .50 caliber ball munitions, and two copper jackets from small arms were observed. MEC/MD 6 have historically been reported at the MRS. Based on the SI qualitative MEC risk evaluation, there is the potential 7 for an explosive safety risk at the MRS. 8

Several explosive ordnance disposal incident reports linked to Fort Douglas have been reported. These include 10 findings which involve 60mm practice mortars, a 12-in HE Stokes mortar, an 81mm mortar, a practice grenade, and 11 a cache of roughly 500 pre-World War II small arms rounds. Most of the area associated with the Impact Area MRS 12 is an uninhabited, national forest and mountainous land controlled primarily by the USDA Forest Service. A small 13 portion of the MRS runs along the eastern side of the University. Access to the MRS is unrestricted. 14

Conduct Environmental Awareness Training prior to commencement of field work. The Contractor’s 21 biological monitor will deliver worker environmental awareness training to all personnel who will work 22 on site. Additional training shall be conducted for new personnel and any time site conditions change. 23

The training must be detailed enough to prevent violations of any protective measures. 24

Instruct all personnel to recognize signs of prehistoric use, and to report any such finds (or suspected 25 finds) immediately, so damage to such resources may be prevented. 26 Develop and execute an Invasive Plant Control Program. All equipment and vehicles will be cleaned of 27 all attached mud, dirt, and plant materials prior to arriving on-site to prevent the introduction and 28 spread of invasive plant species in accordance with Executive Order 13751, Safeguarding the Nation 29 from the Impacts of Invasive Species. 30 Obtain any required permits. (Known stakeholders include City of Salt Lake, County of Salt Lake, 31

University of Utah, State of Utah, U.S. Forest Service.) 32

4.6.3.2.2 Cultural Resource Monitoring 33

Assume that if monitors are present for all non-intrusive work (such as transects) no survey is needed 34 prior to non-intrusive fieldwork. Monitors shall be provided for non-intrusive transect geophysical 35 work, for MC sampling, and as determined by the Cultural Survey within the high density area per the 36

Cultural Technical Memorandum. (Note: Additional Cultural Monitoring, CLIN 0606, is reserved for 37 monitoring intrusive work outside of the high density area with the exception of MC investigations 38 which shall be included in CLIN 0602.) 39

Provide qualifications of the Secretary of Interior Qualified (SOI) archaeologists performing the 40 monitoring to USACE Archaeologist for approval. 41

Have an approved Archaeological Monitor present to monitor all non-intrusive fieldwork (transects) 42 completed on foot. (NOTE: If surveys are completed for transects then monitors may only be needed 43 for identified areas for transect work.) The monitor shall work with the geophysical investigators and 44

UXO safety team to help navigate and avoid all archaeological finds identified during RI geophysical 45 transects. Any finds will be reported to the USACE archaeologist in the daily monitoring logs. 46

Have an approved Archaeological Monitor provide pre-work orientation for the Contractor’s 47 employees. All personnel involved in RI geophysical investigation activities will undergo an orientation 48 from the Contractor’s Archaeological Monitor regarding recognition of historical and archaeological 49 objects that could be discovered during project activities, and steps to be taken if objects are found. 50

The orientation will take place prior to the initiation of RI geophysical investigation work. Should any 51 new personnel be brought in after the initial training, it is the responsibility of the Contractor’s 1

Archaeological Monitor to provide the training within a week of that person(s) starting work. 2 Complete intrusive fieldwork in accordance with Cultural Technical Memorandum (which states when 3

Archaeological Monitors must be present). 4

Ensure proper implementation of protective measures. The purpose of the Contractor’s Archaeological 5

Monitor is to inspect soil and other material as work proceeds to make a determination if potentially 6 NRHP-eligible cultural resources or human remains are present. If potentially significant resources are 7 discovered, the subsequent work shall be moved in order to avoid damage. 8

Have an approved Archaeological Monitor complete and maintain daily monitoring logs. These logs 9 shall include, at minimum, written descriptions of the areas monitored, project activities in those 10 areas, Contractor’s compliance/noncompliance with avoidance measures and report incidents of non-11 compliance, and photographs, as appropriate. Include descriptions of any find(s) and the response to 12 the find(s). Submit the daily monitoring logs electronically on a weekly basis to the Contracting Officer 13 and USACE Archaeologist, no later than the Friday following each work week. 14

Record all new archaeological sites and isolated items encountered during monitoring and update site 15 forms for previously recorded sites using the Utah State DPR forms. Each site shall be evaluated for the 16

National Register of Historic Places and eligibility recommendations shall be provided with the 17 monitoring report. 18

Document any archaeological sites and/or artifacts with digital photographs. Photo logs shall be kept 19 indicating GPS points, the site number, the subject of the photograph, and the cardinal direction of the 20 photograph. 21 Submit all GPS data as exportable GPS files in GIS format. Coordinates must be Utah UTM Zone 12, 22

NAD-83 datum, and in meters. Horizontal accuracy must be +/-3 meters. In the event uncorrected GPS 23 positions do not meet this requirement, the Contractor must differentially correct positions to within 24 +/- 3 meters accuracy. The Contractor’s Archaeologist shall capture all previously and newly recorded 25 sites, features and concentrations (locus) utilizing GPS/GIS. The Contractor shall deliver GIS data to 26 include all electronic survey data either in ESRI Shapefile format or in an ESRI Personal or File 27 geodatabase. Each site and concentration (locus) shall require a brief description. Existing feature and 28 concentration labels shall be retained. In instances where site was recorded and cannot be relocated, 29 the site shall be included as part of the mapping effort. However, data fields need to be included for 30 the site 1) clearly indicate the site no longer exists, and 2) when the site was originally recorded. 31 Ensure that no artifacts/fossils are collected during field monitoring as part of this PWS. Diagnostic 32 artifacts/fossils shall be photographed, GPS coordinates will be recorded, and a sketch of the artifact 33 will be made. 34

Report all archaeological finds identified during monitoring to the Contracting Officer and stop work 35 within 100 feet of the find. The Contracting Officer will, in turn, contact USACE tech lead archaeologists 36 to determine the significance of the resource and direct the Contractor's Archaeological Monitor 37 accordingly. 38

Complete new site records, as necessary, and shall update site forms for previously recorded sites. The 39 site record shall reflect any changes to the site boundary and include any newly identified historic built 40 environment resources, artifacts, features or concentrations/loci.
