Survey methods included a visual search of exposed ground surfaces and randomly placed shovel tests 12-18” deep. One of the project's (*) was cleared by inspection of the plans; replacement is to be in-line and should not affect additional undisturbed acreage. Though archaeological material was found bordering some of the projects, all of the artifacts (Historic and Prehistoric) were from disturbed contexts. Therefore, construction activities should not encounter significant cultural resources in these projects.
