If the Indiana SHPO and interested American Indian tribe recommends <br />that no survey is justified, then the City will document the outcome of <br />this consultation within the individual project file. Projects that would <br />otherwise be exempt from review may then conclude review and all <br />documentation will be retained in the individual project file. <br /> <br />3. For projects where either the Indiana SHPO or interested American <br />Indian tribe recommends that an archaeological survey is justified, an <br />archaeological survey of the affected area shall be carried out in <br />consultation with the Indiana SHPO or interested American Indian tribe. <br />Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indiana SHPO recommends an <br />archaeological survey and the interested American Indian tribe does not, <br />the interested American Indian tribe shall be notified and invited to <br />provide tribally oriented archaeologists and archaeological monitors to <br />participate in such survey. Archaeological testing, as appropriate, shall <br />be undertaken in consultation with the Indiana SHPO and interested <br />American Indian tribes to determine if properties identified in the survey <br />meet National Register criteria. If archaeological resources are found to <br />meet the criteria, work shall immediately cease and whenever feasible, <br />such archaeological resources shall be avoided or preserved in place. <br />When the archaeological resources cannot be avoided or preserved in <br />place, the Indiana SHPO and interested American Indian tribes shall be <br />consulted, and a treatment plan consistent with the ACHP’s handbook, <br />Treatment of Archaeological Properties, and approved by the Indiana <br />SHPO and interested American Indian tribes shall be developed and <br />implemented. The City will consult with the Indiana SHPO, the <br />interested American Indian tribes, the ACHP (if participating) and any <br />consulting parties to resolve adverse effects. Agreement among required <br />signatories regarding the terms of mitigation proposed for the project will <br />be memorialized in an MOA executed under 36 CFR Section 800.6. All <br />identification and testing efforts shall be in accordance with the <br />Standards and Guidelines for Identification and Evaluation and <br />appropriate internal guidance and regulation from the Indiana SHPO, <br />interested American Indian tribes, as well as the appropriate state statutes <br />and rules. <br /> <br />B. This stipulation shall not be interpreted to include projects where sidewalks or <br />other minor paving or resurfacing shall occur in areas where previous sidewalks <br />or paving already exists. It shall not be interpreted to include projects for the <br />repair or replacement of existing water lines, sewer lines or septic systems within <br />previously excavated trenches, or other exempt activities described in Stipulation <br />V below. <br /> <br />V. EXEMPTED ACTIVITIES <br /> <br />The following proposed undertakings have limited potential to affect historic properties and may <br />be approved by the City without further consultation with the Indiana SHPO or ACHP. <br /> <br />All undertakings not identified under either (A) or (B) of this Stipulation must be reviewed in <br />accordance with 36 C.F.R. Part 800.
