STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the cultural resource survey was to identify and assess cultural
resources in the project area and to evaluate their significance under applicable federal cultural
resource laws. This process is intended to aid in the preservation of significant cultural resources,
either by providing boundaries that can be avoided or by facilitating a thorough understanding of a
site’s components in advance of the creation of adequate mitigation strategies. This objective was
accomplished, first, by conducting a site file search and literature review and, second, by conducting
an intensive pedestrian survey of the project area. Recommendations regarding the significance of
the cultural resources found during the project are made using the criteria for determining eligibility
for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The historic preservation laws
mandating the cultural resource study specifically identify eligibility for inclusion in the NRHP as the
key factor in determining preservation needs.

The criteria for assessing site significance, as published in the U.S. Government Code of
Federal Regulations (36 CFR 60) read as follows:

National Register Criteria for Evaluation
The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, 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
A) that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad
patterns of our history; or
B) that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
C) that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or
that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that
represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual
distinction; or
D) that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or
history.

Prehistoric sites can meet any of the four criteria for eligibility to the National Register and
their association with important events, individuals, and th ematic construction in prehistory is
