Consultant Responsibilities: 1. Provide a cultural resource investigation of the area to be impacted by the project and identify any cultural resources which may be adversely affected by the project. 2.

The proper field methods will be completed, at the archaeologist's discretion, depending upon information obtained during the background review and fieldwork. An unmanned aerial vehicle may be deployed for project mapping. Subsurface inspections could involve shovel excavations, or mechanical auger excavations, and screening of the fill to identify the nature and extent of any potential archaeological resources. 5.
