3.4 PROTECTION OF CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Corps, as a federal agency has certain responsibilities pertaining to the identification and protection of cultural resources. The Federal statutes and regulations authorizing the Corps to undertake these responsibilities include Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Guidelines for the Protection of Cultural and Historic Properties (36 CFR Part 800). Work that the District will undertake in the PED phase has been stipulated in a Programmatic Agreement signed in 2019 by the District, National Park Service (NPS), the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (NYCLPC), and the New York State Historic Preservation Office (NYSHPO) heretofore referred to as consulting parties (Enclosure 1).
Stipulation III.A. requires the District to carry out whatever investigations are deemed necessary to determine if the construction of a buried seawall in the project area will adversely affect the built environment or deeply buried archaeological resources.
The District, in consultation with the consulting parties, has determined that the construction of the seawall and other activities associated with Contract 2 (Enclosure 2) has the potential of 1) adversely effecting historic properties through vibration from nearby construction activities and 2) adversely affecting deeply buried archaeological resources. In accordance with the Programmatic Agreement (PA) between the Corps, the
SECTION 01 57 19 Page 17
NYSHPO, and NPS, the Corps is carrying out investigations to identify any cultural resources that may be affected by the project. This entails a review of geotechnical data to determine the areas needed for monitoring during construction further discussed below in Construction Monitoring 3.4.1.
3.4.1 Construction Monitoring
The Contractor shall provide a qualified archaeologist(s) to monitor construction in areas to be discussed with Corps Archaeologist for items that might have historical, archaeological, or cultural value. Prior to initiation of construction the contractor shall hold a meeting between the monitoring archaeologist, the Contracting Officer (KO) and the Corps Archaeologist to discuss the monitoring activities. The monitoring archaeologist shall be meet the Secretary for the Interiors Standards for Archaeology and shall be approved by the Corps Archaeologist prior to work. If during construction activities, the Archaeologist observes unusual items that might have historical, archaeological, or cultural value, such observations shall be reported immediately to the KO who shall notify the Corps Archaeologist. All construction work shall stop. The KO and the staff archaeologist, after consultation with the appropriate entities, shall determine the best way to proceed. If possible and safe to do, the Monitoring Archaeologist shall photograph and/or retrieve the item(s) to be turned over to the Corps Archaeologist.
Should an unanticipated discovery be made during construction activities, whether by the contractor, operator, archaeologist, Corps staff or the public, the following steps shall be followed in the order shown:
i. All construction work shall temporarily cease in the area of the find's origination. Any stockpiled material from the possible source of the find, shall be cordoned off by the contractor and construction will cease in the immediate vicinity until such time as the area has been entirely inspected for additional cultural materials.
ii. The KO will contact the Corps Archaeologist the same day the find is made. If the staff archaeologist can arrive on site before the close of business, they will make a determination on site of the material's historical or archaeological significance or whether further study is required to determine the material's significance. Otherwise the remaining material will be placed in a designated location so that examination of the finds can be made the following day.
3.4.2 Known Resources
The Contractor shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure the work is not conducted in a manner harmful to any Historic Structures/Districts or submerged resources within the project area. Historic Structures are those classified as "Eligible" or "Listed" in the New York's State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) database. https://cris.parks.ny.gov and will be noted on the plans. If known historic, archeological, and cultural resources within the Contractor's work area(s) are present, it will be designated as an avoidance area on the contract drawings or other documents. If so designated, install protection for these resources and preserve during the Contract's duration. Do not dredge, spud, or anchor within the designated
SECTION 01 57 19 Page 18 avoidance area. Do not distribute maps or other information on these resource locations except for distribution among the Contractor's staff with a need to know technical responsibility for protecting the resources.
The Contractor's personnel shall be aware of the presence of such buildings/resources and be sufficiently familiar with them as to minimize contact with them during normal construction hours. The following preventative measures must be implemented. Vibration monitoring, as well a buffer will be established around buildings and resources. Should the vibration threshold be exceeded the project archaeologist should be notified and work shall cease until vibration readings return acceptable levels.
3.4.3 Preservation and Recovery of Archaeological Resources
There is the potential to encounter archaeological resources within the area on which the reinforced dune will be placed. Monitoring will be required where soil will require excavation prior to the placement of the reinforced dune stones. Placement of other stones that do not require the earth beneath to be excavated or disturbed will not require monitoring.
The contractor will provide a qualified archaeologist, who meets the standards of 36 CFR Part 61 (Appendix A) to monitor excavations.
The archaeological monitoring will take place when the Contractor is removing soil within and surrounding the dune for the placement of the reinforced dune. Monitoring will continue through the excavation of the entire area needed for the placement of the reinforced dune. Archaeological monitoring will not be required for placement of stones in areas that will not require the removal of soil or other activities that will not require soil disturbance.
If during the excavation, the archaeologist notes any artifacts or soil changes, etc., the archaeologist should, with the Contractor, inform the COR, who should contact the District Archaeologist. The Contractor should stop the excavation in the nature of the find to allow the archaeologist to record soil profiles, and features through photography, drawings, and notes. Cultural material will be bagged appropriately for identification and curation. Results of the archaeological monitoring will be presented in a written report prepared by the archaeologist, which will be provided to the District, who will coordinate it with the New York State Historic Preservation Office.
Should significant materials or features be identified, and it is determined by the archaeologist that further investigation of the area is required, the archaeologist should inform the Contractor, who should involve the District COR and the District archaeologist. The archaeologist, the Contractor and the District COR and District archaeologist shall meet to confirm this requirement and determine the level of effort and time anticipated. The District archaeologist will coordinate this effort with the New York State Historic Preservation Office. This work and a delay in construction related to the need for further archaeological investigation and coordination may require a Change Order.
3.4.4 Unanticipated Discovery
If, during excavation or other construction activities, any previously unidentified or unanticipated historical, archaeological, and cultural
SECTION 01 57 19 Page 19 resources are discovered or found, activities that may damage or alter such resources will be suspended. Resources covered by this paragraph include, but are not limited to: any human skeletal remains or burials;
artifacts; shell, midden, bone, charcoal, or other deposits; rock or coral alignments, pavings, wall, or other constructed features; and any indication of agricultural or other human activities. Upon such discovery or find, immediately notify the Contracting Officer so that the appropriate authorities may be notified, and a determination made as to their significance and what, if any, special disposition of the finds should be made. Cease all activities that may result in impact to or the destruction of these resources. Secure the area and prevent employees or other persons from trespassing on, removing, or otherwise disturbing such resources.
