and sacred American Indian sites scattered over the entire Laboratory cannot be understood in isolation. All are part, and only part, of larger human systems adapted specifically to the high-desert landscape through several distinct time periods. Since the area is so large and its cultural history so complex, effective stewardship is only accomplished through an ongoing program of resource identification using existing historic contexts and research designs and through incorporation of the resulting information into new and/or updated contexts and research designs. General cultural resource identification efforts are also important for overall land-use planning. In this case, surveys can be targeted in areas where there are special concerns, such as: Zones that are subject to high levels of natural erosion where cultural resources may be subject to unmitigated impact Areas that are targeted for environmental cleanup Areas where future development may occur Areas that are poorly understood and under-represented in existing cultural resource inventories Areas that hold promise for development to enhance public understanding of INL’s cultural resources. For these types of identification efforts, it may be appropriate to target specific types of cultural resources, such as scientific equipment, important American Indian plants, age/gender-related items, or any other resource that is poorly understood. The goal of every effort is enhanced understanding of the resource base. Predictive modeling can further enhance the value of existing prehistoric archaeological resource inventories for land-use planning by providing information on the expected density and distribution of resources in areas that have not been surveyed. This information can be useful for planning future DOE activities to minimize damage to archaeological resources. At facilities like INL, with significant land holdings and numerous archaeological resources, this type of predictive modeling effort is a valid way of working to satisfy the statutory requirements for 100% inventory of DOE-ID cultural resource holdings Research. There are two primary approaches to conducting cultural resource research on INL: 1. Develop strong research-based relationships with universities and provide support to other non-INL historical and archaeological researchers based on qualified and valid proposals. Work to develop joint funding proposals in areas of mutual interest and benefit with these external entities and join in the solicitation of support for research that fills gaps in the understanding of INL cultural resources. 2. Optimize basic cultural resource research goals through the required compliance activities that demand most INL CRM Office resources. This can be done by conducting information-gathering activities under an umbrella of thoughtful research designs (see Appendix E) and historical contexts (see Appendix F). In this way, sufficient and sophisticated information can be gathered, and time and funding can be used optimally. This approach allows recovery of the basic data needed to describe, characterize, and protect INL cultural resources while maintaining legal compliance and contributing to the regional scientific information base. Unanticipated Discoveries. Even after advance surveys and other identification efforts, cultural resources are occasionally identified unexpectedly during implementation of INL projects. This is particularly true for archaeological and paleontological sites, which may have little or no surface manifestation, but important historic objects and data may also be discovered during a project. The INL Stop Work Authority provides mechanisms for protecting inadvertently discovered cultural materials from further damage. Through training, all INL employees are informed of their right and obligation, to stop any work process that could adversely impact safety or the environment, including exposing or threatening resources of cultural importance. Employees are also generally encouraged to contact the INL 38
CRM Office informally whenever they have questions or concerns about cultural resources or if they find something they think may be of interest. As a final check for archaeological resource protection, environmental checklists that cover activities involving ground disturbance also include reminders of the INL Stop Work Authority. When INL employees suspect sensitive cultural materials have been uncovered or previously identified cultural resources are being subjected to unanticipated impacts, they are trained to stop or redirect their activities and immediately contact the INL CRM Office. When contacted, the INL CRM Office will advise the employee to establish a 30 to 50-m protective buffer around the exposed archaeological or paleontological materials or to isolate significant data or objects. The DOE-ID cultural resources coordinator will be contacted and will schedule a site visit to evaluate the situation within two working days of the discovery. Once notification has been made through the INL CRM Office, the DOE-ID cultural resources coordinator will, as appropriate, be contacted and in turn notify other interested parties as the situation demands. For all prehistoric archaeological sites, interested parties will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the Advisory Council, Idaho SHPO, and Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. An invitation to consult on the resolution of adverse effects to the identified resource and participate in any associated activities will be included with this notification. Within two working days of the notification, interested parties will be asked to inform the DOE-ID cultural resources coordinator of their intentions to participate. When human remains are included in the find, the DOE-ID cultural resources coordinator will also notify the appropriate county sheriff’s office and initiate compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, as appropriate. Emergency Situations. Another means of identifying cultural resources at INL is through inventories and assessments completed in response to emergency situations. Emergency response activities are those activities declared by the U.S. president, a tribal government, or the governor of a state, as necessary to safeguard human health and the environment during declared disasters, emergencies, or national security threats. Emergencies at INL may be caused by either natural or manmade events. During emergency situations at INL, no actions necessary to preserve human health or property will be delayed to comply with historic preservation requirements. However, INL emergency responders can carry on the spirit of the mandates by consistently trying to minimize the overall impact of their activities. Emergency responders are also reminded that activities completed in anticipation of emergency situations (flood control, controlled burns, etc.) and those conducted after termination of the emergency are not exempt from cultural resources review. Although activities conducted prior to termination of an INL emergency are exempt from cultural resource review and consideration, the aftereffects of those activities must be evaluated. Once an emergency has ended, the INL CRM Office conducts archive searches and field inventories, as appropriate, to evaluate the impact to cultural resources. Evaluation and Nomination to the National Register of Historic Places Evaluation of INL cultural resources for nomination to the National Register involves determining the significance of those resources. Methods for determining the significance of cultural resources at INL play an important role in both long-term planning and project-specific impact assessments. Regulations promulgated by the National Historic Preservation Act provide a general approach for evaluating significance. According to 36 CFR 60.4, “Criteria for Evaluation”: The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and: That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution 39
