The database search produced <br />results for only previously known archaeological sites and <br />historic properties. Please read the note below carefully. <br /> <br />For further information contact Kelly Gragg-Johnson by phone <br />at 651-259-3455 or email at kelly.gragg-johnson@mnhs.org. <br /> <br />Archaeological sites and historic properties were identified in a search of the Minnesota Archaeological Inventory <br />and Historic Structures Inventory for the search area requested. Reports containing the results of the search are <br />attached. <br /> <br />The result of this database search provides a listing of recorded archaeological sites and historic architectural <br />properties that are included in the current SHPO databases. Because the majority of archaeological sites in the <br />state and many historic architectural properties have not been recorded, important sites or structures may exist <br />within the search area and may be affected by development projects within that area. Additional research, <br />including field survey, may be necessary to adequately assess the area's potential to contain historic properties. <br /> <br />With regard to Environmental Assessment Worksheets (EAW), a negative known site/structure response from the <br />SHPO databases is not necessarily appropriate information on which to base a "No" response to EAW Question <br />25a. It is the Responsible Governmental Unit's (RGU) obligation to verify the accuracy of the information <br />contained within the EAW. A "No" response to Question 25a without written justification should be carefully <br />considered. <br /> <br />If you require a comprehensive assessment of a project's potential to impact archaeological sites or historic <br />architectural properties, you may need to hire a qualified archaeologist and/or historian. Please contact the SHPO <br />by phone at 651-259-3450 or by email at mnshpo@mnhs.org for current lists of professional consultants in these <br />fields. <br /> <br />The Minnesota SHPO Survey Manuals and Database Metadata can be found at <br />http://www.mnhs.org/shpo/survey/inventories.htm <br /> <br />9/612007 <br />
