USDA g. Archaeological sites, or historic properties or areas — The Forest has completed compliance with Section 106 of the National Historical Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The Forest has determined that no historic properties would be affected by the Ulrich- Rovedo MPO (see also Cultural Resource Report, 2019). Based upon these determinations, I conclude that the operations are limited in context and intensity (40 CFR 150827), and this action is expected to produce little or no individual or cumulative environmental effects to either biological or physical components of the human environment (see Table 1). My conclusion is based on a review of the record that shows a thorough analysis using the best available science. Therefore, the proposed action with the addition of design features identified above is consistent with the management direction, standards, and guidelines. Table 1: Summary of Resource Conditions.
