Lucie Counties, Florida <br /> Dear Mr. McFetridge : <br /> In accordance with the provisions contained in Chapter 267 . 061 , Florida Statutes, we have <br /> reviewed the above referenced project(s) for possible impact to archaeological and historical sites <br /> or properties listed , or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places, or <br /> otherwise of historical or archaeological value . <br /> A review of the Florida Site File indicates that two archaeological sites, 8IR849 and IR835 are <br /> recorded within the IR-2 and IR- 14 project areas, respectively . No formal assessment of <br /> significance has been complete for either site. Archaeological site 818849 is recorded as a <br /> disturbed artifact scatter. Archaeological site 8IR835 is recorded as a partially inundated artifact <br /> scatter. Both sites were recorded based only on surface inspection . It is, therefore, the <br /> recommendation of this office that, prior to Initiating any project related land clearing or ground <br /> disturbing activities within the IR-2 and IR- 14 project areas, they should be subjected to a <br /> systematic, professional archaeological and historical survey to located and assess the significance <br /> of the recorded sites and any as yet unrecorded historic sites in the project areas . <br /> It is also our recommendation that the IR- 12B , and M-8 project areas be subjected to a <br /> systematic, professional survey. The purpose of these surveys will be to locate and assess the <br /> significance of historic properties present. The results of the investigations will determine if <br /> significant historic properties would be disturbed by this project . In addition, if significant <br /> remains are located, the data described in the report and the archaeologist' s conclusions will assist <br /> this office in determining measures that must be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse <br /> impacts to significant historic properties. <br /> DIRECTOR'S OFFICE <br /> R.
