travel along the centerline will be restricted to a 50 foot wide corridor on either side of the staked centerline. All angering of shot holes will be confined to the staked centerline. EVALUATION OF RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The results of this investigation were generally as expected. A few sites and isolated finds were discovered, mostly along drainages and in disturbed areas. Some unexpected results were the lack of historic sites encountered and the spazsity of isolated finds. Also unexpected was the lack of prehistoric sites on topographic prominences. Five prehistoric sites (SRT512, SRT160, SRT1368, SRT1369, and SRT1370) and one historic site (SRT113) along with two prehistoric (IF SRT1371 and SRT1372) and two historic isolated finds (SRT1373 and SRT1374) were recorded during this investigation. The three newly recorded prehistoric sites (SRT1368, SRT1369 and SRT1370) encountered during this investigation are recommended to be potentially eligible to the National Register. Previously recorded prehistoric site SRT512 is currently not evaluated with respect to National Register eligibility. A stain was noted within its boundaries which were expanded to incorporate some additional observed artifacts. However it remains unevaluated with respect to the National Register. Site SRT160 was originally recommended to be eligible to the National Register but is reevaluated here as not eligible to the National Register due to the sparse remains and lack of potential for additional subsurface remains. Historic site SRT113 has been recommended to be not eligible to the National Register. Isolated finds are by definition not eligible to the National Register. All of the sites encountered during this investigation except for historic site SRT 113 were avoided through deviations of the seismic lines which would have impacted them. The three potentially eligible prehistoric sites and the one unevaluated prehistoric site along seismic line 9903 (SRT1368, SRT1369, SRT1370, SRT512) were avoided by deviations of seismic line 9903 to the north up the slopes above them and down a drainage that separates SRT512 from SRT1370. Site SRT160 was avoided by a deviation of seismic line 9902 to the north through an old core hole location, however, re-evaluation of the site as not eligible does not require utilization of this deviation. These deviations provide a buffer of 50 feet or more between all the sites and the proposed seismic line centerlines. Cultural resource clearance is recommended for the seismic lines and core holes provided that all seismic activities are restricted to within 50 feet of the centerlines along the deviations of lines 9902 and 9903. All angering activities and shot holes must remain along the flagged centerlines and no driving may take place more than 50 feet from the flagged centerlines except on established and maintained roads. Provided these stipulations are adhered to, cultural resource clearance is recommended for the project. 13
