Dear Mr. Rosa:
This is provided as a proposal to conduct a cultural resource assessment of the proposed Crane
Boulevard Shared Use Path, measuring approximately 4,000 ft long and 10 ft widewithing
Monroe County right-of-way. A CRAS will be conducted within the area of potential effect (APE)
which is defined as the project footprint and will be implemented to meet the guidelinesfor an
archaeological and historical assessment as required by local and State reviewing agencies,
Section 106, and Module 3 Guidelines. A scope of work is provided below.
A.Archival and LiteratureReview:
A review of pertinent records, maps, and aerial photographs will be conducted to determine if
previously unrecorded archaeological and/or historical sites occur on the parcel.
B.FieldWork
Archaeological: This cultural resource survey will incorporate the use of certain
predictive archaeological site models based on topographic and vegetative attributes of
the parcel, and determination of high, medium and low probability zones (HPZ, MPZ,
and LPZ).
A pedestrian survey and shovel testing will be conducted within the APE. HPZ and
MPZ areas will be subjected to systematic subsurface testing in accordance with
Module 3 guidelines at 25 meter (m) and 50 m intervals, respectively. The LPZ areas
will be tested at 100m intervals. Systematic testing will be supplemented with
judgmental testing, as appropriate. Soil from all test holes will be sifted through a ¼”
screen and any cultural samples recovered. Any positive locations for artifacts or sites
will be depicted on the site map. Positive test holes will be delineated at 12.5m
intervals as appropriate.
His
torical: PerFlorida Module 3 guidelines, all historic resources (50yrs old or older)
must be documented and recorded. Historic resources, if encountered,within the APE
will be assessed by a qualified historian in the field, photographed, and documented on
Florida Master Site File (FMSF) forms for historical significance.Identified resources
would be evaluated for National Register eligibility.
