In addition, this document is being submitted in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) "Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission" (FCC 2005). The archaeological fieldwork was performed by Michell Gilman, Archaeological Technician of JMT working under the direct supervision of Abigail Heller, Registered Professional Archaeologist (RPA) of JMT.
