detailed bibliography, maps, and photos. Please refer to the archaeology guidelines available on <br />the Agency FTP site. <br />Minor Transportation Projects, as defined in Agency's Programmatic Agreement with SHPO (see <br />Task 3.1), are excluded under Task 2. If a site is located within the API and Agency is unable to <br />avoid the area, then further examination will be necessary through Phase 1 survey; sixb-surface <br />probing, and possibly Phase 2 Archaeological testing. <br />As part of preparing a Baseline/Reconnaissance Report, Contractor shall conduct: <br />• A Literature Review for the project area. Contractor shall examine the following facilities and <br />documents: .the SHPO in SaIem, OR; General Land Office maps; Sanborn Fire Insurance <br />Maps; and other records archives for known prehistoric and historical archaeological <br />resources and for project background information. <br />• A Field Reconnaissance (scoping trip), including a reconnaissance-level pedestrian survey <br />with widely spa~ed transects (3U meters or greater) or a field visit. The field visit will enable <br />the archaeologist to identify areas of high and low probability to determine the appropriate <br />level of survey and/or sub-surface probing for.the project area, if needed. ~ <br />Contractor shall: <br />• Provide a Baseline/Reconnaissance Report to Agency within l~.calendar days from NTP: <br />ODOT has a Programmatic Agreement with SHPO that allows Agency to obtain archaeological <br />clearances for minor txansportation projects through a memorandum to file. The PA Memos are <br />compiled in a notebook at the end of the year and submi~ted to SHPO. The PA Memo includes <br />inf~rmatiori fr~m se~~ing tri~-s nr recc~nnaissance stirveys, ma~s, anci phatos. The Agency <br />Archaeologist will keep the final PA Memo on file to be submitted to SHPO at the end of the <br />year. <br />If a site is located within the API, then the project is au~omatically elevated out of the <br />Programmatic Agreement and a technical report and site forms are required to be submitted to <br />SHPO for review and compliance. This will follow the Phase One Archaeological Survey under <br />Task 3.2. <br />The PA Memo required under this task shall include results of the literature review and scoping <br />trip; a description of the API; a detailed project description, methodology, recommendations for <br />future work, site protection measures or avoidance areas, a summar.y, maps, and photos. <br />As pazt of development of .the PA Memo, Contractor sha11 conduct: <br />• A Literature Review for the project are~, as identified in Task 2. <br />• A Field Reconnaissance (scoping trip), as identified in Task 2. <br />• Contractor shall provide a PA Memo to Agency within 30 calendar days from NTT' <br />Archaeology Scope of Work -GJN 4479 <br />
