3.0 Technical Requirements / Tasks

(a) The Contractor shall consult with Forest Service personnel prior to initiating field work for the purpose of:

(1) reviewing the undertakings;

(2) reviewing Forest Service cultural resource inventory information;

(3) examining pertinent natural resource data, reports, maps, including compartment (timber type) maps;

(4) discussing field plans and coordination with the Forest Service; and

(5) becoming acquainted with the natural and cultural features of the project area, and

(6) Contractor must submit an Application for Permit for Archeological Investigation (FS-2700-32), and obtain a Permit for Archeological Investigations (ARPA permit) prior to starting field work on federal surface.

(b) With regard to historic sites, emphasis for all items will be placed on using the results of archival and informant data searches to identify previously recorded or reported cultural resources within the project areas. Sources shall include:

(1) Forest Service inventory information, which includes a site file and atlas;

(2) historic and modern aerial photos and remote sensing imagery;

(3) National Register of Historic Places;

(4) State Historic Preservation Officer;

(5) informants, including local residents and Forest Service District personnel;

(6) historic cruise books and maps, as well as GLO survey notes and maps.

(c) The survey shall consist primarily of walk-over coverage, supplemented with systematic shovel testing in areas located near major riparian and lacustrine features. Areas which display identifiable late Pleistocene and Holocene coastal and fluvial landforms shall be shovel tested, even if terraces or other related features such as beach ridges or strand lines may not be associated with modern bodies of water. Additional shovel testing should be employed as needed and as directed in task order.

(1) Walk-over coverage on the Huron Manistee National Forest (HMNF) will consist of intensive survey of 15 to 30 meter transect interval survey of individual bid item units identified as high probability for prehistoric/precontact cultural resources. A reconnaissance survey/sampling survey can be used on bid item units identified as low probability for prehistoric/precontact cultural resources. The reconnaissance/sampling survey will consist of walking the approximate boundary of the area of undertaking, inspecting the margins of all two-tracks, abandoned railroad grades, and gravel/paved roads within or directly adjacent to the area of undertaking. Inspections will utilize a single transect down center of two-tracks and railroad grades, and along edges of gravel/pavement of paved roads. In addition, a transect will be surveyed along each side of the transportation route, set approximately 40 meters from the road or grade edge.

Survey will also include all clearings within and adjacent to the area of undertaking. Shovel testing may be conducted from 5 to 15 meters to delineate surface archeological sites (such as artifact scatters) to further establish the vertical and horizontal limits of the potential site.

(2) Shovel testing on the HMNF is done at 15-meter intervals, with some select high potential areas tested at 10-meter intervals. Shovel testing may be conducted from 5 to 15 meters to delineate archeological sites once discovered. All soil from shovel tests shall be passed through hardware mesh with maximum dimensions of 1/4 inch. As a minimum, shovel tests shall be 35 centimeters in diameter and 40 centimeters deep with some landforms requiring 1-meter-deep shovel tests. Shovel test units will be backfilled. The interval between units specified above can be maintained by pacing but intervals may not ordinarily vary by more than one meter. Shovel test unit locations will be adjusted perpendicular to the transect line to the nearest excavatable soil in the event the original location is not excavatable (for reason of tree, standing water, etc.). Shovel test unit locations may be deleted only in the event that non-excavatable soil is encountered for a distance of five meters on either line perpendicular to the transect line. It is recognized and considered likely that some areas may not be accessible due to standing water, extreme slope, etc. Survey intensity shall be sufficient to identify those cultural resources that may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places

(NRHP).

(3) Basic historic site inventory data from a detailed search of archival and informant sources are available for a large number of sites on the National Forests which have not yet been field checked. An attempt shall be made to locate all previously recorded, non-field verified sites through intensive parallel walkover of a 40-acre area covering the purported site location.

Development of a strategy limited to the inspection of transportation features, dune ridges within wetlands, edges of wetlands and riparian features, and openings, and the field verification of potential historic sites identified from archival and informant sources, aerial photos, Forest Service timber type maps, and other non-field sources, is encouraged for use in any areas where this can reasonably assure the location of all sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

(4) In addition to the above, the proposed field strategy shall include the following elements:

(i) Previous research within these National Forests has identified a number of pre-European contact Native American sites associated with dune ridges located within interior swamps and wetlands. Formulation and execution of a shovel testing methodology for the identification of pre-European contact sites within swamp dune settings is required for all applicable areas.

(ii) Older logging camps, sugar bushes, and other early historic sites on these National Forests may not be associated with identifiable transportation features. Therefore, certain items having a higher probability of such sites, including those items close to the shores of the Great Lakes, involving riparian features and wetlands, or located in extensive stands of maple forest near concentrated areas of Native American settlement will require special methodologies, such as parallel intensive walkover transects, metal detector use, soil coring, etc.

(iii) Research on the pre-European contact use of former coastal settings within these National Forests has identified a settlement pattern closely associated with post-glacial relict shorelines .

Ancient beach ridges, barriers, and spits, as well as other coastal landforms appear to have been used extensively by pre-European contact people. Consequently, a strategy involving the shovel testing of former coastal landforms is needed for all applicable items.

(d) The Contractor shall keep standard field records including field notes, field maps, photographs, and subsequent laboratory analysis records. All field crew members shall keep daily field notes. However, crew member's notes may be less detailed than team leaders, crew chiefs, and supervisors.

All records shall be legible, shall clearly identify authors, dates, items, and sites, and shall fully document the work done. This shall include coverage maps showing the location of areas actually examined and variation in the intensity of survey coverage within each item. Special emphasis shall be placed on recording detailed information on the location and intensity (number of transects, etc.) of shovel testing, the location of areas with good surface visibility (such as primitive roads), and other aspects of survey coverage.

Documentation shall be kept updated as field work proceeds, allowing for periodic inspection of coverage and findings by Forest Service personnel.

(1) The contractor shall record each site on a Forest Service Cultural Resource

Record Form (R9-2300-8). Cultural Resource Record Forms shall be filled out completely for each site including UTM location descriptions. A site location map shall be attached to each site form, along with a new site map (if required). Site forms for previously recorded, non-field verified sites discovered during survey efforts shall be updated with any new information, but descriptions of the original inventory source and previous archival or other information or documentation shall also be retained. All previously recorded, field verified sites within item boundaries shall be monitored and site forms and maps shall be updated if there have been significant changes since last inspection; will use the HMNF Heritage Resource Site Update/Monitoring Form.

(2) A clearly drawn compass and pace sketch map showing internal features, major vegetation boundaries, and nearby landmarks shall be prepared for each newly recorded site and previously recorded sites that were poorly documented or never mapped. In addition, a unique tree or other prominent landmark will be established as a site datum using metal or plastic tags marked with serial numbers keyed to site maps.

The exact nature of these datums will be established after contract award. Sketch maps shall also clearly show site datums and the boundaries recommended for establishing protection zones. Final copies of sketch maps submitted as exhibits shall be drawn in black ink and neatly labeled with appropriate scale and North arrow. A minimum of one GPS location point will be recorded for each site, with the point clearly marked on the site map. The extent of all sites discovered shall be determined and accurately Global Positioning System (GPS) mapped and flagged on the ground with a 30-meter buffer (from the site boundary line). All previously recorded sites located within the survey area that have been determined to be eligible, or that have not received an eligibility determination, will also be documented. Any previously recorded site that has been determined to be not-eligible for the NRHP by the Forest Service will not require any additional work, flagging, or avoidance.

The projection of the shapefile should be in UTM meters, Zone 16 north, and NAD83 datum. Site location descriptions shall be delivered as an ESRI shapefile or other geodatabase format. 6.26.

A minimum of three digital photographs shall be taken of each site visited, including one general shot that shows as much of the site as possible. Any standing or partially standing structural features shall be fully documented with photographs. The Contractor shall also document a sample of unusual or distinctive sites and features with color photographs.

(e) Analyze resulting data to expand current site information to areas including but not limited to:

(1) extent and stratigraphic context of cultural deposits,

(2) features and artifact classes represented,

(3) time periods and cultural complexes represented,

(4) activities represented,

(5) site condition and integrity, and

(6) information and research potential.

(f) The Contractor shall provide a preliminary opinion on the possible significance of each inventoried cultural resource, including sites which clearly meet National Register criteria (36 CRF 60.6), sites which require further assessment, and sites which do not appear to meet eligibility criteria. Site significance shall be evaluated within the context of current research and applicable theoretical frameworks for archaeological investigations in the northern Great Lakes.

(g) The Contractor shall evaluate the potential direct and indirect impacts of the proposed undertaking on cultural resources.

(h) The Contractor shall recommend protective/mitigative measures to reduce or eliminate potential adverse effects on inventoried cultural resources and on possibly sensitive areas. The Heritage Program Manager will be available to assist in the formulation of protective measures and to help assess the impacts of various undertakings on sites.

(i) All cultural resource sites require a state trinomial in addition to Forest Service number on all final copies of forms and reports.

(j) The Contractor shall track each employee’s time spent in the field, in the office, and overall time spent on the project. Documentation shall be kept updated as work proceeds and will be submitted to Forest Service personnel as part of the draft report and final report.
