ENGINEERING REPORT The existing pavement section data, soil stratigraphy data, and groundwater level data collected within the project area will be provided in a written report upon completion of the study. We will also provide estimates of soil effective unit weight, friction angle, and cohesion based on the soil boring results to be used in the design of the drilled shaft foundations. C. Cultural Resource Assessment Su A cultural resources assessment survey (CRAS) will be conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Chapter 267.061 of the Florida Statutes (F.S.), Rule 1A-46 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and the conditions and specifications set forth in the Florida Division of Historical Resources (FDHR) Module 3: Guidelines for Use by Historic Preservation Professionals (Florida FDHR 2003). The Principal Investigator will meet the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards (48 FR 44716). The objective of the survey will be to identify archaeological sites and historic resources with the project area and assess their eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) per the criteria set forth in 36 CFR Section 60.4. LITERATURE REVIEW AND BACKGROUND RESEARCH A literature and background search for information pertinent to the project area will be conducted to determine the types, chronological placement, and location patterning of archaeological sites within the project area and vicinity. A summary of the project area's archaeological context and pertinent environmental features will be prepared from the results of the background research and literature review. This overview will describe the project area's archaeological record, important events, locations, structures, and individuals associated with the area. The environmental description will include a discussion of both present and past environmental conditions. This information will also provide the context in Page 4 of 11 Work Order No. 51 Aviation Boulevard Extension Alternative Alignment Study which the significance of any archaeological sites identified during the project can be evaluated. CULTURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT SURVEY The CRAS will include a pedestrian survey of the project area, subsurface testing for archaeological sites within the project area and the identification and evaluation of historic resources within the project area as well as adjacent parcels up to a distance of 150 feet (ft.) from the edge of the project area to allow for the consideration of potential visual impacts. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY The archaeological survey will include surface and subsurface testing techniques. The intensity of this testing will be keyed to the ranked site probability zones established during the background Janus Research Page 2 research. Subsurface testing in areas of high site potential will be conducted at approximately 25- meter (80 feet) intervals and in areas of moderate site potential at approximately 50 -meter (160 feet) intervals. In addition, at least 10 percent of the low probability areas will be tested at 100- meter intervals in keeping with FDHR requirements. Subsurface tests will be 0.5 meters (20 inches) in diameter and excavated to a minimum depth, subsurface conditions permitting, of one meter (3.3 feet). All excavated soils will be sifted through 6.4 -millimeter (0.25 -inch) metal hardware cloth screen suspended from portable wooden frames. Any cultural materials recovered will be stored in plastic bags with all provenience data recorded. Field notes on each test performed will be recorded, and the location of all tests will be marked on aerial photographs of the project area. The laboratory processing will consist of the cleaning, inventorying, packaging, and temporary storage of any artifacts recovered. Artifact analysis will involve the morphological and functional classification of artifacts and, if possible, the identification of their temporal and cultural affiliations. HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY A historic resource survey will be conducted to evaluate and document the National Register eligibility of the previously recorded resources and to identify and document whether there are any unrecorded significant historic resources within the project area and buffer. From the edge of the project area to allow for the consideration of potential visual impacts. The estimated date of construction, distinctive features, and architectural style will be noted. Digital photographs will be taken, and National Register significance will be evaluated. DOCUMENTATION AND REPORT PREPARATION FMSF forms will be completed for each resource identified during the survey. A report presenting the methods, findings, evaluations, and recommendations of the cultural resource assessment will be prepared. Upon acceptance of the report, Janus Research will Page 5 of 1 ] Work Order No. 51 Aviation Boulevard Extension Alternative Alignment Study provide a submittal letter, the required submittal package, including a completed Survey Log, mapping, separate electronic FMSF forms, and all necessary documentation to submit the report to State Historic Preservation Officer and the FDHR Compliance and Review Section. If requested, Janus Research will submit the final report and the required submittal package to the SHPO/FDHR on behalf of the client. EFFECTS EVALUATION FOR FEC RAILROAD AND DIXIE HIGHWAY The significant railroad tracks and Dixie Highway will be documented and effects to the linear resources will be assessed according to the Criteria of Adverse Effects. The assessment of effects documentation typically includes a description of improvements that may indirectly and directly affect the significant resources. The results of this assessment will be included within a Section 106 Case Study Report if needed, and this will be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)/Florida Division of Historical Resources (FDHR) for concurrence with the findings.
