JOHN H. KERR DAM AND RESERVOIR –TIMBER HARVEST

CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT SURVEY OF

IDENTIFIED TIMBER HARVEST AREAS AT JOHN H. KEER

LAKE PROJECT

11 AUGUST 2016

Part 1

General Information

1.0 GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide cultural resources assessment surveys related to the Timber Harvesting activities at John H. Kerr Dam and Reservoir (JHK). The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn shall be responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the cultural resources assessment surveys of selected timber harvest areas within the JHK area of potential effect (APE) as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District (the Corps) plan to conduct various timber harvesting operations around the JHK property. The purpose of this contract is to conduct required cultural resource assessments in compliance with sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. In addition, surveys need to be in compliance with various State regulations (Virginia and North Carolina) depending on the location of the planned timber harvest area. Because timber harvesting involves activities including road construction, dragging of material on skids, and other general ground-disturbing activities that have the potential to adversely affect previously unidentified historic properties, a cultural resource assessment is required to identify any significant historic properties that may potentially be adversely affected by such activities. Additionally, a cultural resources assessment will also be used to identify and protect previously identified cultural resources within the APE that are eligible or potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Cultural resources studies that have been previously conducted for the JHK and are available through State preservation offices.

1.3 Objectives: Cultural resources assessment survey under this contract is designed to identify and evaluate the significance of any resources that may be impacted from proposed timber harvesting activities. The survey report shall identify the location and boundaries of any identified cultural resources, evaluate the resources for significance under National Register criteria and propose commendations to avoid or minimize impacts to these resources. In addition, the Contractor shall provide a GIS layer showing the location of shovel tests, newly identified cultural resources and their boundaries.

1.4 Scope: This PWS details the Contractor’s requirements to provide cultural resource assessment survey associated with timber harvesting activities undertaken within the JHK APE as defined in Technical Exhibit 4. The APE encompasses lands owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Work performed under this PWS shall include the following tasks:

• Locating previously identified cultural resource sites within the APE that are eligible or potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP.

• Testing various timber harvesting areas according to required State standards.

• Evaluating all identified resources within the various APEs for eligibility under the National Register of Historical Resources eligibility criteria.

• Providing clear boundaries for all resources identified with clear mapping and appropriate GIS data. (Trees along the boundary parameter shall be marked by white paint to indicate areas where logging should not be conducted)

• Providing recommendations for avoidance or minimization of impacts to identified resources that fall within identified timber harvesting areas.

• Produce a GIS layer showing the location of shovel tests, newly identified cultural resources and their boundaries.

• Producing monthly field summaries to include findings and progress, as well an executive summary, draft and final reports.

1.5 Period of Performance (POP): The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and one (1) 12-month option year, not to exceed 2 years.

SPECIFIC TASKS

5. Specific Tasks:

5.1. Basic Services: The Contractor shall supply the necessary personnel, facilities, supplies, materials, and other equipment required to conduct a cultural resources assessment survey of the identified parcels. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating entry and obtaining the necessary access to gates with the Forest Managers. The Contractor shall be responsible for securing an Archaeological Resource Protection Act (ARPA permit from the Corps).

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing a safe working environment for all persons in his/her employ as prescribed by EM 385-1-1, “Safety and Health Requirements Manual,” dated 28 November 2014. The Contractor shall be responsible for all damages to persons and property that occur in connection with the work and services performed under this Contract, without recourse against the Government. The Contractor shall be responsible for having adequate insurance coverage for all activities required under this Contract.

During survey of the JHK areas requiring survey, any necessary work stoppages shall be coordinated with the COR and/or the KO. All parties shall make every effort to not affect the work schedule or the costs due to delays in survey portion of the Project.

5.2. Previously Identified Cultural Resource Sites: If previous existing sites exist within any of the identified timber harvest areas the Contractor shall reassess their significance and provide and update on the National Register eligibility of the resource.

5.3. Cultural Resource Assessment Survey: Field survey methods shall include initial reconnaissance survey, a survey of the project area for historic resources in the built environment – including canals, ditches, levees, and other features and structures that may be greater than 50 years in age – and subsurface archaeological testing. The intensity of archaeological testing varies in accordance with the designated zones of high, moderate, and low site potential as determined during preparation of the research design and as noted in the field. In most instances, systematic shovel testing along transects supplemented by judgmental shovel tests is most efficient. Techniques employed in the assessment survey will vary depending on such factors as terrain, vegetation, land use, hydrology, and the locations where various types of cultural resources (archaeological and other) may be expected or predicted.

Where cultural resources are anticipated or evident on the surface, it is necessary to undertake some subsurface testing to more precisely delineate boundaries and, where necessary, to obtain sufficient information for preliminary site evaluation. Historic and cultural resources within the built environment should also be recorded, assessed, and evaluated. Testing of high, medium, and low probability zones should follow the guidelines for density and spacing as needed to meet any state standards in which the zone falls.

In the event that new archaeological sites are identified, either as a result of surface reconnaissance or subsurface testing, additional subsurface testing shall be carried out to determine site boundaries, horizontal and vertical extent(s), and cultural affiliation. Appropriate forms shall be completed for all new sites recorded and all previously recorded sites revisited, along with appropriate location and sketch maps as required by each state. Newly recorded sites and other resources will require new resource numbers, assigned by each state. Site and resource numbers should be assigned before completion and submittal of the draft report, and official site numbers should be used to reference resources.

The Contractor shall revisit and evaluate all previously recorded cultural resources within the project areas. Unless explicitly directed otherwise, Contractors are to consider and treat all previously recorded resources as newly recorded resources except during evaluation: all previously recorded resources shall be revisited, investigated, recorded, boundaries established, and content determined. Review of previous investigation data may inform methodology and shall be reviewed before field investigation, particularly to identify any resources that may contain human remains, for which unique methodologies should be established in coordination with the COR.

Archaeological sites shall be shovel tested as described below, and historic resources shall be sufficiently photographed, sketched, and/or recorded appropriate to type. In evaluating the resource(s), the results of previous investigations shall be described, cited, and incorporated into the evaluation and recommendation of significance and eligibility of the resource(s) for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In no event is a previously recorded resource to be excluded from the investigation, either during fieldwork or in evaluation and report preparation, unless explicitly directed by the COR, which shall be referenced in the report.

The field assessment survey shall:

1) Identify and define areas of site and resource probability (where the potential for presence of cultural resources is low, medium, or high probability);

2) Conduct systematic subsurface archaeological investigation according to probability zones as determined by the probability model;

3) Identify new and previously documented cultural resources based on surface inspection and/or subsurface testing or assessment of historic resources, as appropriate to the resource type;

4) For archaeological sites, employ a systematic subsurface testing strategy consistent with the predicted probability model, supplemented where appropriate by judgmental subsurface testing, utilizing appropriate state standards for shovel tests all excavated soils screened through ¼-inch mesh, with the testing strategy and probability model updated according to field conditions;

5) Recover data allowing the Contractor to fully describe and define newly and previously identified resources within the project area as possible, including information on type, period(s) of occupation, and location. Both horizontal and vertical boundaries for archaeological sites with subsurface components shall be defined utilizing shovel tests include an assessment of any historic buildings or other historic structures or resources within the project area, including ditches and canals as appropriate;

6) Allow further predictions to be made about the distribution, density and potential significance of cultural resources within the general project study area.

Records shall be kept of the specific area(s) and method(s) of survey (surface inspection or subsurface testing), the content of each shovel test (soil type, color, etc.), and the precise location of all cultural resources that have been identified. Locations of subsurface testing shall be recorded with a GPS unit with at least sub-meter accuracy, and the UTMs for each testing location shall be recorded and reported along with testing results. “Writing off” of any shovel test locations due to disturbance is not acceptable; shovel tests shall still be conducted in disturbed areas, with vertical extent of disturbance recorded in field notes.

It is essential that the Contractor fully develop a probability model before beginning fieldwork in order to conduct fieldwork according to these requirements.

The field survey and Contractor must comply with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

If the Contractor encounters any problems in accessing any portions of the property, or if the Contractor encounters any other problems in the process of implementing contract requirements, the Contractor shall contact the COR and KO immediately to resolve the issues as quickly as possible.

The Contractor shall be responsible for identification and avoidance of all utilities, andshall be responsible for all impacts by the Contractor to any utilities.
