END OF SECTION 01 33 23

SECTION 01 35 13 – ARCHEOLOGICAL PROTECTION

A. Section consists of protecting archeological resources contained in soil deposits.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) of 1979 (Public Law 96-95; 16 U.S.C. 470aa-mm), as amended was enacted to protect archaeological resources on public lands and Indian lands, and for other purposes. Defines archeological resources as any material remains of past human life or activities that are of archeological interest and at least 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.

B. ARPA: defines an “archeological resource” as any material remains of past human life or activities which are of archaeological interest and are at least 100 years of age. Such regulations containing such determination shall include pottery, basketry, bottles, weapons, weapon projectiles, tools, structures or portions of structures, pit houses, rock paintings, rock carvings, intaglios, graves, human skeletal materials, or any portion or piece of any of the foregoing items. Archeological resources are physical evidences of past human activity, including evidences of effects of that activity on the environment. Archeological resources represent both prehistoric and historic time periods, found above and below ground and under water.

C. National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (54 U.S.C. Part 300308), as amended sets federal policy for historic preservation under 36 C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 800 “Protection of Historic Properties.”

D. NHPA: defines a “historic property” (or historic resource) as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion on, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), including artifacts, records, and material remains related to such a property or resource

E. NRHP (known also as the National Register [NR]) is a national program designed to identify, evaluate, and protect historic and archeological resources. The NR is the official Federal list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture that are at least 50 years of age.

F. Section 106 of the NHPA: requires federal agencies to take into consideration the effects on historic properties of projects they carry out, assist, fund, permit, license, or approve.

G. Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) of 1990: addresses the inventory, identification and treatment of Native American human remains and objects of cultural patrimony-funerary objects and sacred objects, particularly those in the collections of museums and federal agencies.

H. Culturally Sensitive Resource Area: an area determined to possess high potential for surficial and subsurface cultural deposits. If National Register eligible or listed archeological resources could not be avoided, an appropriate mitigation strategy would be developed in consultation with state historic preservation officer and, if necessary, associated American Indian tribes.

I. Non-Culturally Sensitive Areas: an area determined to have little, if any, potential to contain surficial and subsurface cultural deposits.

J. Archeological Monitor: a professional archeologist that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s

Professional Qualifications Standards for Archeology (36 C.F.R. Part 61; 36 C.F.R. Part 800.2) designated to oversee construction activities that have the potential to disturb surficial and subsurface cultural deposits. Representative of Government designated to oversee construction activities that could disturb archeological resources.

K. 36 C.F.R Part 800.13, Post-Review Discoveries: establishes a means for addressing inadvertent discoveries encountered during an undertaking.

A. Prior to commencement of construction, an NPS Section 106 Coordinator will submit an Archeological Monitoring and Inadvertent Discovery Plan.

1. Daily Work Schedule: Detail construction work in archeologically sensitive areas. Submit to Contracting Officer (CO) 30 days before start of ground disturbing site work. Key schedule to drawings and include the following information:

a. Construction site plan that identifies site-specific avoidance areas.

b. Start and ending dates of all ground-disturbing construction-related activities.

c. Types of construction activities, such as clearing and grubbing, topsoil stripping, structure or trench excavation, culvert and drainage pipe excavation and installation, landscaping, and post construction grading and clean-up.

d. Location of temporary facilities including field offices, staging areas, sanitary facilities, construction site barriers, access roads, haul routes, and borrow pits.

e. Methods and equipment used for each type of construction activity.

f. Identify work areas for relocating construction activities in the event of temporary location- specific work stoppages.

2. 30-days prior to start of ground-disturbing site work, Contractor to provide a site plan to the CO for NPS Section 106 Coordinator review and comment. 15-days prior to the work, Contractor to provide the revised site plan addressing any comments to the CO for final NPS Section 106 Coordinator review and acceptance.

3. 5-days prior to commencement of construction activities, submit final site plan to the equipment operator.
