We note that we did not review the initial AUAR nor any subsequent updates, so we have not commented on this development area in the past. Due to the nature and location of the proposed project, we recommend that a Phase I archaeological survey be completed. The survey must meet the requirements ofthe Secretary ofthe Interior's 1 Standards for Identification and Evaluation. The survey should include an evaluation of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places for any properties that are identified. For a list of consultants who have expressed an interest in undertaking such surveys, please visit the website preservationdirectory. mnhs.org, and select "Archaeologists' in the "Search by Specialties" box. We will reconsider the need for survey if the project area can be documented as previously surveyed or disturbed. Any previous survey work must meet contemporary standards. Note. plowed areas and right-of-way are not automatically considered disturbed. Archaeological sites can remain intact beneath the plow zone and in undisturbed portions of the right-of-way. Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 ofthe National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36 CFR § 800. If this project is considered for federal financial assistance, or requires a federal permit or license, then review and consultation with our office will need to be initiated by the lead federal agency.
