The survey must meet the requirements of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for <br />Identification and Evaluation, and should include an evaluation of National Register eligibility for any <br />properties that are identified. For a list of consultants who have expressed an interest in undertaking such <br />surveys, please visit the website preservationdirectory.mnhs.org, and select "Archaeologists" in the "Search <br />by Specialties" box. <br />We will reconsider the need for survey if the project area can be documented as previously surveyed or <br />disturbed. Any previous survey work must meet contemporary standards. Note: plowed areas and right-of- <br />way are not automatically considered disturbed. Archaeological sites can remain intact beneath the plow zone <br />and in undisturbed portions of the right-of-way. <br />Please note that this comment letter, does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the National <br />Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36CFR800, procedures of the Advisory Council on Historic Presentation <br />for the protection of historic properties. If this project is considered for federal assistance, or requires a <br />federal license or permit, it should be submitted to our office by the responsible federal agency. <br />If you have any questions regarding our review of this project, please contact David Mather, National Register <br />Archaeologist, at (651) 259-3454, <br />Sincerely, <br />ogp_ ,vl)�f _ o,oiGwLfJ 4 <br />Sarah J.
