About this file

This document is a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG) regarding the inadvertent discovery of cultural resources. The SOP outlines the steps to be taken if cultural materials are discovered during field training exercises, construction, maintenance, or other ground-disturbing activities. It cites relevant federal and state laws, including the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The SOP requires site users to immediately cease activities, report the discovery to the Unit Commander/Supervisor, and secure the location until the Cultural Resources Manager (CRM) can assess the find and notify the appropriate authorities, including the police if human remains are suspected.

The related state and local contract opportunity is for the cutting and clearing of approximately 0.45 acres of vegetated land (around 80 trees and shrubs) at the YCA HILO facility in Hawaii County, Hawaii. The contract is being issued by the State of Hawaii.
