ABOUT THIS PLAN

This installation-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is based on the U.S. Air Force’s (AF) standardized Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) template. This plan is not an exhaustive inventory of all cultural resource requirements and practices. Where applicable, external resources, including Air Force Instructions (AFIs); AF Playbooks; federal, state, local and Final Governing Standards (FGS); and permit requirements, as applicable, are referenced.

Certain sections of this ICRMP begin with standardized, AF-wide “common text” language that addresses AF and Department of Defense (DoD) policy and federal requirements. This common text language is restricted from editing to ensure that it remains standard throughout all plans. The common text language is maintained and updated by the designated Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) with assistance from the Office of Collateral Responsibility (OCR), as appropriate. Immediately following the AF-wide common text sections, are Installation sections. The Installation sections contain installation-specific content to address state, local and installation-specific requirements. Installation sections are unrestricted and are maintained and updated by AF environmental Installation Support Teams (ISTs) and/or installation personnel.

This document is optimized to be accessed and viewed electronically. The eDASH website at https://cs1.eis.af.mil/sites/edash/ is the primary communication tool for AF EMPs.

7.0 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

This section contains Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for managing and protecting cultural resources. The CRM ensures that appropriate procedures are properly communicated and followed by necessary personnel.

7.1 Communication, Planning, and EIAP

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

The Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP) is the AF procedure for performing environmental project review, in compliance with the requirements of NEPA. The proponent of an action is responsible for initiating the EIAP early in the planning stages of a proposed action. The EIAP process is documented on AF Form 813, Request for Environmental Impact Analysis. The CRM must be familiar with NEPA and the EIAP process.

Procedure:

The CRM should:

Work in close coordination with EIAP manager during all NEPA reviews Assist the EIAP manager to determine whether existing and planned formal agreements under NHPA or other cultural resources authorities may be associated with the NEPA planning effort Confirm that NHPA Section 106 review is required and identify other considerable cultural resources laws Identify and consult with SHPO or THPO/local governments/other parties Plan for public participation, as necessary

7.2 Section 106 Process

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

Section 106 of the NHPA is a federal review process designed to ensure that historic properties are considered during the planning and execution of federal undertakings. Activities, programs or projects that have the potential to involve or affect historic properties and could trigger a Section 106 review include:

Rehabilitation, renovation or addition to buildings, structures, and/or utilities Replacement or maintenance of infrastructure Demolition of buildings and structure Proposed beddowns Environmental Restoration Program (ERP) investigations and clean-up Real property actions such as land transfers, out-leasing, etc.

The Section 106 review process should be initiated early in the planning stages of a project Procedure:

Project Proponents should:

During initial project planning (e.g., completion of AF Form 813, Request for Environmental Impact Analysis; AF Form 332, Base Civil Engineer Work Request; DD Form 1391, Military Construction Project Data, AF Form 103, Base Civil Engineering Work Clearance Request/Dig Permit), provide adequate information necessary to determine whether historic properties are present and to assess impact of the proposed project on historic properties If a proposed project could involve preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement, contact the base CRM as early as possible to ensure that any required public participation, analysis, and review can be planned to meet the requirements of both NEPA and NHPA Section 106 in a timely and efficient manner.

Implement mitigation or management conditions stipulated by the CRM resulting from the Section 106 consultation/coordination process.

The CRM should:

During review of the proposed action, determine whether historic properties are present and assess impact of proposed project on historic properties. Results of this review could include:

No Historic Properties Affected: This determination is made when the project will have no foreseeable effects on historic properties. Document determination and proceed with the action No Adverse Effect: This determination is made when there might be an effect, but the effect will not be harmful to those characteristics that qualify the property for inclusion in the NRHP. The installation may seek concurrence from the SHPO and other consulting parties Adverse Effect: This determination is made when the potential effect could diminish the integrity of the characteristics that qualify the property for the NRHP. Upon a finding of “adverse effect” the installation will continue with consultation with the SHPO and other interested parties Coordinate execution of the Section 106 process to support desired project schedules. Refer to the Cultural Resources Management Playbook for detailed descriptions of the Section 106 review process.

7.3 Cultural Resources Contracting

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

AF Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) is the process of acquiring funding for activities. Contracting of cultural resources-related work follows standard AF PPBE processes. The Environmental Quality PPBE Playbook and FY 18-22 Air Force Activity Management Plan Playbook contain detailed information on funding and contracting.

Procedure:

The CRM proposes future projects and includes them in the ICRMP and in the Automated Civil Engineer System-Project Management (ACES-PM) Module If the project is determined to be eligible and funds are available for the project, the CRM/IST specialist develops a detailed statement of work and moves forward with contracting options Contracting Points of Contact

Historic Properties

7.4 Cultural Discoveries

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

Discoveries of cultural items, including traditional cultural properties, human remains and archaeological resources, may occur on AF controlled lands. When discoveries are made, the proper actions must be taken to minimize damage to resources and to ensure that applicable laws and requirements are identified and met.

All discoveries of Native American cultural items, including NAGPRA-defined objects, must comply with NAGPRA and 43 CFR 10, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Regulations. See the Cultural Resources Management Playbook for detailed guidance on the requirements of NAGPRA.

It is a federal offense, under the provisions of ARPA and 32 CFR 229, to excavate, remove, damage, or otherwise deface any archaeological resources located on federal lands. The provisions of ARPA apply to archaeological material greater than 100 years in age, regardless of the NRHP status of the site where they are found. Any person wishing to excavate or remove archaeological resources from an AF installation must apply for an ARPA permit. AF-contracted work is exempted from the permit provision of ARPA. In the event of a permit request, the CRM should notify the AFCEC Cultural Resources SME. Detailed information to assist in facilitating ARPA permitting is available in the Cultural Resources Management Playbook.

Procedure:

AF or Contractor personnel that make a potential cultural discovery should:

Immediately notify the CRM (or Base Commander for OCONUS) of the nature and location of the discovery Immediately cease potentially damaging activities and take efforts to ensure protection of resources until arrival of the CRM or designee The CRM should:

Ensure that all cultural items are left in place and that no further disturbance is permitted to occur Sufficiently identify the location of the discovery to provide efficient relocation, yet take efforts to minimize the types of signs that could attract personnel and place the discovery in danger Notify Security Forces of the discovery Direct installation personnel and contractors to take efforts to resume mission-associated activities in a reasonable and timely manner Security Forces should:

Notify the Wing Commander regarding the location, nature, and circumstances of the discovery Provide security/protection for the site to prevent unauthorized disturbance, looting, or vandalism.

If human remains are discovered or if there is sufficient reason to suspect that human remains are present (such as the observation of an oval-shaped rock or earthen mound), the CRM should:

Determine (with the aid of a coroner or forensic anthropologist) if the remains are human, and whether or not they are associated with an archaeological deposit If the remains are not human, and not associated with an archaeological deposit, work may continue If the remains are human, Security Forces should notify local law enforcement agency and a coroner, who will determine if the remains are recent, or ancient (with the aid of a forensic anthropologist). If the human remains are modern, the matter may become the responsibility of law enforcement officials who will determine when project activities may resume Invite consultation with Native American tribes, as appropriate. If the human remains are determined to be Native American, the provisions of NAGPRA apply, and the regulations outlined in 43 CFR 10 should be followed

7.5 Native American Access

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to AF installations that received formal requests from Native American Tribes for access to lands on AF property. This installation DOES/DOES NOT have such lands and IS/IS NOT required to implement this SOP.

Background/Overview:

The installation recognizes the rights of Native American Tribes to access religious sites and objects on lands under AF control and to practice traditional religious activities within the limitations of the military mission.

Procedure:

NOTE: Specific access procedures are developed through coordination with affected Native American Tribes should a Tribe/group request visitation. Below is an example procedure for consideration when developing an installation-specific procedure:

The Wing Commander, or Designee, should:

Perform initial contact required to establish government-to-government relationships with tribes and consult with tribal leaders Establish procedures for day-to-day working relationships with appropriate tribal representatives Establish government-to-government relationships with federally recognized affiliated tribes Document all government-to-government contacts, identification of specific tribal requirements and POCs for future consultation and coordination activities The CRM should:

Identify appropriate tribes with whom to establish ongoing relations for involvement in any subsequent planning processes. Document appropriate tribes, affected lands and specific access procedures in the ‘Native American Tribes with Ancestral Ties to Installation Lands’ table below Facilitate and maintain government-to-government relationships Compile and maintain a list of tribal POCs for consultation and coordination Brief incoming commanders on their responsibilities and arrange meetings, as appropriate Conduct routine consultation and coordination with affiliated tribes per the requirements identified during the government-to-government contact Maintain documentation of consultation and coordination and other contracts

7.6 Accidents and Emergencies Affecting Historic Properties

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

Federal laws and regulations provide exceptions to the standard Section 106 and Section 110 reviews that may be used in times of emergency. Immediate rescue and salvage operations conducted to preserve life or property are exempt from the provisions of Section 106 and the procedures outlined in 36 CFR 800.12. Per 36 CFR 78, the Secretary of the Air Force may waive all or part of the Air Force's Section 106 responsibility on a specific undertaking if the Secretary determines the existence of an imminent major natural disaster or a threat to national security. Such waivers will not exceed the period of the emergency, and generally do not extend to reconstruction or other activities beyond those immediately required to prevent endangerment of human life or property.

Procedure:

The following actions may be performed when responding to an accident or emergency situation (e.g., hazardous material spill, aircraft or vehicular accidents, fires/explosions, natural disasters) where cultural resources may be affected:

Air Force Personnel, Construction Crews, Utility Workers, Contractors, Rescue Workers should:

Notify the CRM as soon as possible upon realizing potential for impact to cultural resources associated with an emergency situation Take reasonable steps to avoid or minimize disturbance of significant cultural resources during emergency operations, as appropriate to concerns for human life or property The CRM should:

Given the needs of the emergency situation, identify cultural resources that may be affected by emergency response and provide guidance and advice to emergency operations workers on methods to avoid or minimize negative effects to cultural resources As soon as possible, notify the Installation Commander and AFCEC of the emergency or disaster, including description of historic properties potentially affected As soon as practicable and within 14 days of the conclusion of the emergency situation, notify the SHPO/THPO of any adverse effects to historic properties that resulted from the emergency and emergency response Where additional actions will be necessary to stabilize, repair, or demolish historic properties damaged in the emergency or emergency response (e.g., demolition of historic properties that cannot be repaired, or have become unsafe), consult with the SHPO/THPO concerning the effects of any steps that may be necessary to reduce or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties If a waiver is requested, provide information to base personnel regarding the status of the waiver request (granted or denied), and direction regarding follow-on notification of parties If a waiver is granted, provide information regarding the scope and limitations of the waiver to appropriate base personnel and initiate required notifications to SHPO If a waiver is not granted, provide direction to base personnel regarding resumption of work and implement the Section 106 consultation process

7.7 Suspected Vandalism

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

The installation has established procedures to deter vandalism and to investigate suspected acts of vandalism when a cultural resource protected under NHPA, ARPA, or NAGPRA is damaged as a result of unauthorized activity.

Procedure:

In the event of a discovery of damaged archaeological site or other historic property, the following actions should be performed:

Discoverer of potential looting or vandalism should:

Immediately notify the CRM (at PHONE NUMBER) and Security Forces (at PHONE NUMBER) Take all necessary precautions to protect the resource from further damage, loss, or destruction Wait for further instructions from the CRM or other authority Security Forces should:

Notify the Installation Commander immediately regarding the location, nature, and circumstances of the looting or vandalism Provide security/protection to prevent further unauthorized disturbance, looting, or vandalism The CRM should:

Inspect the site to assess damage Notify the Installation Commander of damage within 48 hours of discovery. Include the following information in the damage report: Circumstances of site damage, assessment of the nature and extent of damage, recommendations for treatment procedures (coordinate with SHPO, tribal authorities and/or Host Nation, as appropriate), and suggestions for future protection measures Notify Native American organizations and individuals if TCPs or sacred sites were damaged Legal Department personnel should:

Assess whether or not accused violators can be prosecuted Determine whether a civil penalty or other prosecution can be applied

7.8 Mission Conflicts and Solutions

Applicability Statement:

This SOP applies to all AF installations that maintain an ICRMP.

Background/Overview:

Regulatory and AF requirements that are necessary to protect cultural resources have the potential to be in conflict with the base mission. Base activities or projects that could pose a mission conflict include:

Continued use, repair, modernization, adaptation/reuse, preservation and/or demolition of existing facilities, including historic buildings New construction of facilities Land use (e.g., training exercises, flight operations, off-road vehicular traffic, forest management, threatened and endangered species management, wildland fire suppression, erosion control, prescribed burning, live ordnance use) Ground disturbance The installation attempts to eliminate and/or resolve conflicts by assuring that projects with the potential to impact cultural resources are properly planned and executed.

Procedure:

The CRM and installation project managers and planners work together to identify and manage potential conflicts. Impacts to cultural resources resulting from standard or routine activities may be avoided or mitigated by following established environmental and cultural resources management procedures (i.e., completing AF Form 332).
