Monitoring activities can indicate that change in resource conditions is occurring. The research activities are formulated to explain the sources of that change as well as characterize the resource. The development of mitigation strategies for specific site locations is currently being designed under the P A Program under the direction of Reclamation. Ongoing projects being conducted by GCMRC may provide additional information on relationships between resource impacts and "dam operations" when these are suggested from monitoring observations for other locations. This information will be available later in this planning period. M03) Protect and maintain physical access to and use of traditional cultural properties and other cultural resources where such access and use may be impacted by dam operations. IN 3.1 Characterize historic and current traditional cultural associations of all sites associated with impacts of dam operating criteria. [Priority 2] Proposed Activities: 1) Assist in the development of tribal monitoring projects for the evaluation of impacts to traditional resources. Tribal projects to monitor and assess cultural resources are an important component of resource assessments as they supply different but complementary information on resource impacts. These resources may embody a full range of important qualities including data concerning past occupations ands tribal histories. While archaeological monitors can evaluate the physical impacts to resources, traditional views on resource qualities may evaluate resource impacts differently. These conventional impacts assessments may be related to integrity of the resource, information loss of the resource, and vandalization. For traditional resources, integrity and loss may be defined differently by the group for which they have significance. For these reasons, tribal groups can provide November S, 1998 Second Draft - Do Not Cite, Photocopy, or Distribute -- ~ II'; ~; r! ".'. , "-,, of.. t) ., " ~..: .,-' " ~- :.; I:.~.
