Contract 2006-00228 <br /> Exhibit "8" <br /> UNIVERSITY OF QRFGt~IV <br /> December 8, 2005 <br /> TO: Matt Rodrigues, Civil Engineer <br /> City ofEugene-Engineering <br /> FR: Tom Connolly <br /> RE: Exploratory Archaeological Survey of the Chad Drive Extension for the City of Eugene <br /> The City of Eugene is developing the Chad Drive Extension modernization project in north Eugene, with <br /> funding from both federal and local sources. The federal funding component requires that an azchaeological <br /> evaluation of the project impact azea be conducted. The project proposes to extend what is now the eastern tenminus <br /> of Chad Drive to intersect with Game Farm Road by diverting Chad Drive northerly along the Old Coburg Road <br /> comdor then northeasterly to Game Farm Road (Figure 1). This project length is ca. 1750 feet (ca. 530 m). <br /> Additional project elements will be the construction of T-intersections to provide access to remaining segments of <br /> Old Coburg Road <br /> Because vegetation limits ground visibility throughout the project corridor, the inventory survey will use <br /> exploratory probes, consisting of 30x30 cm shovel tests. Along existing roadway segments (Old Coburg Road), <br /> probes will be placed at maximum 30 m intervals along the both sides of. the corridor, in a pattern that staggers <br /> probes from one side to the other. Along new.corridor segments (Chad Drive to Old Coburg Road connection; Old <br /> Coburg Road to Game Farm Road connection), a single line of probes at maximum 20 m intervals will be dug on the <br /> corridor alignment. It is estimated that up to 35 total probes will be dug; all excavated fill will be screened over lJ8" <br /> mesh screen to aid in the recovery of cultural items. This effort is considered to be a site discovery procedure only; - <br /> if formal evaluation of identified yultural sites is pursued, it will be under a separate proposal and pernut. <br /> MUSEUM OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY <br /> & State Museum of Anthropology • 1224 University of Oregon • Eugene OR 97403-1224 <br /> Collections (541) 346-5120 • Research Office (541)346-3031 • Fax (541) 346-5122 <br /> <br /> An equal vyporfunity, aJfismatlvr acFon institution committed to cu[tura! diversity and rornplianre with Na Amrricans with Disabilities Ad <br /> <br />
