ARCHEOLOGICAL PROTECTION

SECTION 01 35 13.22

A. The work of this section includes protecting archeological resources contained in soil deposits.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Archeological Resources: Archeological resources are the physical evidences of past human activity, including evidences of the effects of that activity on the environment. Archeological resources represent both prehistoric and historic time periods. They are found above and below ground and under water.

B. Archeologically Sensitive Areas: Areas that have the potential to contain significant (National

Register eligible) archeological resources. If National Register eligible or listed archeological resources could not be avoided, an appropriate mitigation strategy would be developed in consultation with the state historic preservation officer and, if necessary, associated American Indian tribes.

C. Non-sensitive Areas: Areas with little, if any, potential of containing significant (National

Register eligible) archeological resources.

D. Archeological Monitor: Representative of the Government designated to oversee construction activities that could disturb archeological resources.

E. Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) of 1979 (P.L. 96-95; 93 Stat. 712): defines archeological resources as any material remains of past human life or activities that are of archeological interest and at least one hundred (100) years old; Section 4 of the statute describes the requirements that must be met before Federal authorities can issue a permit to excavate or remove any archeological resource on Federal or Indian lands; the curatorial requirements of artifacts, and other materials excavated or removed.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Daily Work Schedule; Submit a Daily work Schedule detailing construction work in archeologically sensitive areas. Submit to Contracting Officer thirty (30) days before start of ground disturbing site work.

LEWI – 216583 01 35 13.22 - 2

1.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. At least one (1) week before on-site work begins, Contractor shall meet with Contracting Officer and Archeological Monitor to discuss Daily Work Schedule and equipment and special methods to be used in archeologically sensitive areas. Contractor shall ensure that approved Daily Work Schedule is followed throughout construction.

2.1 DAILY WORK SCHEDULE

A. A Daily Work Schedule is required for all work occurring within archeologically sensitive areas. Include all work that is to occur within the area and key the schedule to the drawings to include the following:

1. Starting and ending dates of ground-disturbing construction.

2. Locations of temporary facilities, such as barriers, field offices, staging areas, sanitary facilities, borrow pits, and haul and access roads.

3. Types of construction, such as clearing, topsoil stripping, structure or trench excavation, landscaping, and post construction clean-up.

4. Methods and equipment used for each type of construction.

5. Plan for relocating work in the event of temporary work stoppages at each archeologically sensitive area.

3.1 OBSERVATION

A. An NPS provided Archeological Monitor will observe all ground-disturbing site work, including construction of temporary facilities, at all archeologically sensitive areas, from a safe location mutually agreed on by Contractor and Monitor. As new ground is broken, Monitor will examine excavated materials, using construction layout centerline and perimeter staking as a reference point to record locations of findings.

3.2 DISCOVERY OF RESOURCES

A. If Archeological Monitor discovers resources, immediate relocation of the work to a non-sensitive area may be required to allow Monitor to identify and document resources and, if necessary, develop an appropriate mitigation plan. While Archeological Monitor is documenting resources in sensitive areas, Contractor shall relocate work to non-sensitive areas where monitoring is not normally required.

B. If resources are discovered while Archeological Monitor is absent, stop work immediately and report the discovery to the Contracting Officer.
