We have received your payment of $500.00 in check number 56288 for a communication tower and associated lease area located at West Stevenson Lake Road, Lake, Isabella County, MI 48632. I have enclosed receipt #9.25.014 for your accounts receivable records. We have reviewed the provided SHPO response from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority – State Historic Preservation Office, the FCC Form 620, the Cultural Resource Inventory Survey, photographs, aerial imagery, topographic maps, plat maps, schematics of the proposed project area, and site plans. We find after review of this information that we concur with the SHPO response, the Cultural Resource Inventory Survey, and the findings in the FCC Form 620 for project clearance and provide a recommendation of “No Effect”. Although project clearance is recommended, we remain interested in further communications regarding this project due to the location. The Saukie people have a documented historical presence in Michigan. While there are no documented sites within the project area or within a close proximity outside the project area, there still remains the potential of finding unknown sites in and surrounding the project location. It is further advised that if the area of potential effect changes or in the event of an inadvertent discovery of human remains or other cultural resources that we receive notification within 48 hours. As well, any advertent discovery of human remains or other cultural resources should remain in situ until consultation with interested tribes and agencies is undertaken. Thank you for your time and patience in communications regarding section 106 and NAGPRA issues. We appreciate your continued efforts in such matters. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the information below if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear Mindi Okai,

Thank you for using the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS). The purpose of this email is to inform you that an authorized user of the TCNS has replied to a proposed tower construction notification that you had submitted through the TCNS.

The following message has been sent to you from Historic Preservation Director Johnathan L Buffalo of the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa in reference to Notification ID #131057:

We have no interest in this site. However, if the Applicant discovers archaeological remains or resources during construction, the Applicant should immediately stop construction and notify the appropriate Federal Agency and the Tribe.

For your convenience, the information you submitted for this notification is detailed below.

Dear Applicant:

This letter addresses the proposed communications facilities listed below that you have referred to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) for purposes of contacting federally recognized Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages (collectively Indian Tribes), and Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), as specified by Section IV.G of the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA). Consistent with the procedures outlined in the Commission's recent Declaratory Ruling (1), we have contacted the Indian Tribes or NHOs identified in the attached Table for the projects listed in the attached Table. You referred these projects to us between 10/22/2015 and 10/29/2015. Our contact with these Tribal Nations or NHOs was sent on 10/29/2015. Thus, as described in the Declaratory Ruling (2), if you or Commission staff do not receive a statement of interest regarding a particular project from any Tribe or NHO within 20 calendar days of 10/29/2015, your obligations under Section IV of the NPA with respect to these Tribal Nations or NHOs are complete(3). If aTribal Nation or NHO responds that it is interested in participating within the 20 calendar day period, the Applicant must involve it in the review as set forth in the NPA, and may not begin construction until the process set forth in the NPA is completed.

You are reminded that Section IX of the NPA imposes independent obligations on an Applicant when a previously unidentified site that may be a historic property, including an archeological property, is discovered during construction or after the completion of review(4). In such instances, the Applicant must cease construction and promptly notify, among others, any potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO. A Tribal Nation's or NHO's failure to express interest in participating in pre-construction review of an undertaking does not necessarily mean it is not interested in archeological properties or human remains that may inadvertently be discovered during construction. Hence, an Applicant is still required to notify any potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO of any such finds pursuant to Section IX or other applicable law.

Sincerely, Dan Abeyta Assistant Chief Spectrum and Competition Policy Division Wireless Telecommunications Bureau

ESTO has reviewed the project, TCNS 131057, in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Based on the information provided and a review of our records, we find that No Historic Properties of sacred and/or cultural significance to the Tribe will be impacted by this project. Therefore, ESTO has no objection to the project proceeding as described; however, please note that any future changes to this project may require additional consultation. In accordance with the NHPA of 1966 (16 U.S.C. § 470-470w-6), federally funded, licensed, or permitted undertakings that are subject to the Section 106 review process must determine effects to significant historic properties. As clarified in Section 101(d)(6)(A-B), historic properties may have religious and/or cultural significance to Indian Tribes. Section 106 of NHPA requires Federal agencies to consider the effects of their actions on all significant historic properties (36 CFR Part 800) as does the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (43 U.S.C. § 4321-4347 and 40 CFR § 1501.7(a). This letter evidences NHPA and NEPA historic properties compliance pertaining to consultation with this Tribe in regard to the proposed project referenced as 2067 Littlefield Lake, TCNS 131057. However, if during construction cultural objects or human remains are inadvertently discovered, please stop work immediately and contact the Cultural Preservation Department of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.

The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is satisfied with efforts conducted to be sure that no Miami historic properties or other Miami cultural resources will likely be adversely affected by construction and use of this tower. The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma is not currently aware of any specific Miami cultural or historic sites in this project area. We therefore offer no objection to the proposed construction.

Because this tower lies in the homelands of the Miami, in the event that archaeological materials, including human remains, are discovered during construction or later ground-disturbing activities at this location, please re-open consultation at that time by contacting our THPO, Diane Hunter, at [email protected]. Similarly, if plans are considered to expand or modify this tower and cause additional ground disturbance in the future, please let us know. Please forward the Tribe's concerns regarding any such future work and unanticipated discoveries, as well as our contact information, to the appropriate parties.

We urge everyone involved with cell tower development to construct and maintain their projects in keeping with best practices for minimizing environmental impact - particularly on species, such as birds and bats, who might incur negative impacts from cell tower development and use. Please also re-vegetate with species native to the area.

We appreciate your efforts to consult with us.

Trileaf Corporation is in the process of completing a NEPA Checklist at the above referenced property. Our investigation includes determining if the site is contained in, on, or within the viewshed of a building, site, district, structure or object, significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering or culture, that is listed or eligible for listing on the State or National Registers of Historic Places, or located in or on, or within the viewshed of an Indian Religious Site. Our research to date has not indicated that any of these conditions exists. However, Trileaf has learned your tribe has an interest in property located within this County. Our client proposes to construct a 199-foot monopole telecommunications tower within a 100-foot by 100-foot lease area. The project includes a 30-foot wide access and utility easement that extends north connecting with West Stevenson Lake Road. Currently the proposed site consists of forested land. The archeological report, site location maps, photos and SHPO response are enclosed for your reference. The $600 review was mailed. Please let us know if you have any objections or comments on this project as soon as possible. Please call me at (314) 997-6111 or email [email protected] or [email protected] if you need additional information or have any questions. Thank you for your assistance in this regard. Sincerely, Mindi Okai Tribal Consultation Manager

Dear Applicant:

This letter addresses the proposed communications facilities listed below that you have referred to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) for purposes of contacting federally recognized Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages (collectively Indian Tribes), and Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), as specified by Section IV.G of the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA). Consistent with the procedures outlined in the Commission's recent Declaratory Ruling (1), we have contacted the Indian Tribes or NHOs identified in the attached Table for the projects listed in the attached Table. You referred these projects to us between 01/07/2016 and 01/14/2016. Our contact with these Tribal Nations or NHOs was sent on 01/14/2016. Thus, as described in the Declaratory Ruling (2), if you or Commission staff do not receive a statement of interest regarding a particular project from any Tribe or NHO within 20 calendar days of 01/14/2016, your obligations under Section IV of the NPA with respect to these Tribal Nations or NHOs are complete(3). If aTribal Nation or NHO responds that it is interested in participating within the 20 calendar day period, the Applicant must involve it in the review as set forth in the NPA, and may not begin construction until the process set forth in the NPA is completed.

You are reminded that Section IX of the NPA imposes independent obligations on an Applicant when a previously unidentified site that may be a historic property, including an archeological property, is discovered during construction or after the completion of review(4). In such instances, the Applicant must cease construction and promptly notify, among others, any potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO. A Tribal Nation's or NHO's failure to express interest in participating in pre-construction review of an undertaking does not necessarily mean it is not interested in archeological properties or human remains that may inadvertently be discovered during construction. Hence, an Applicant is still required to notify any potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO of any such finds pursuant to Section IX or other applicable law.

Sincerely, Dan Abeyta Assistant Chief Spectrum and Competition Policy Division Wireless Telecommunications Bureau

Under the authority of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and in

accordance with 36 CFR 800.2A4, after reviewing the materials you provided for the 6115004298 Project,

the Chippewa Cree Tribal Historic Preservation Office concurs that a finding of no cultural properties is

warranted and we will not require a tribal monitor to be present for this proposed project.

The proposed undertaking does not directly affect a documented tribal cultural resource. The

vicinity of the project is significant to the Chippewa Cree Tribe. According to our tribal elders, historians,

and archaeological/anthropological evidence, the Chippewa & Cree Tribes have a long and storied

history throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,

and Montana. That history includes major sacred events, encampments, medicinal plants and other

significant markers that indicate our footprint throughout this entire region. Since the area around the

project was heavily utilized in prehistoric times, it is particularly important for the ground disturbance to

remain in the areas designated in the original site plans.

No further cultural resource work is necessary for this project as long as the areas outlined are

adhered to. If additional work is necessary outside the areas designated, please notify our department

to make the necessary arrangements. In the unlikely event that an artifact of unknown cultural origin is

uncovered during ground disturbing activities, we request that all construction activities cease and that

our office is contacted immediately for a review.

Thank you,

Alvin Windy Boy, Sr.

Tribal Historic Preservation Officer

X FINDING OF NO CULTURAL PROPERTIES – The potential for cultural resources to be present within or near

your proposed project is low and should not result in an adverse effect. However, if cultural materials are

discovered during construction please notify the Chippewa Cree Cultural Resource Preservation

Department or Tribal Historic Preservation Office.

UNANTICIPATED DISCOVERY PLAN FOR VERIZON WIRELESS PROJECTS

REGARDING CULTURAL RESOURCES AND HUMAN SKELETAL REMAINS

REVISED JUNE 2013

The purpose of this Unanticipated Discovery Plan (UDP) is as a last line of defense for the

protection of cultural resources. After Section 106 compliance efforts, including records

research, professional cultural resources survey, tribal consultation, consultation with the

public, consultation with the local government, and consultation with SHPO, have identified no

historic within the direct Area of Potential Effect (APE), Verizon wishes to provide further

assurance that any unidentified historic properties that may be present will be appropriately

protected. So, in the highly unlikely event that historic properties not identified during the

Section 106 consultation process are present within the direct APE, the UDP will guide field

personnel in the appropriate steps to take to protect historic properties. The purpose of the UDP

is to make field personnel aware that, in spite of negative research, survey, and consultation

findings, cultural resources could still be present, and that construction should cease if any

cultural resources are encountered. Further, the UDP guides steps that should be taken

following any unanticipated discovery. While the specific points of contact will vary regionally,

the general guidelines regarding the appropriate steps to follow should be applicable across the

US. The procedures outlined in this UDP are in no way intended to replace or supercede the

role of a tribal or other cultural resources monitor during construction, when consulting parties

agree that such a monitor should be present. Furthermore, the UDP is not intended to allow

any short-cuts or reduction of effort in any part of the Section 106 consultation process.

As used within this UDP, inadvertent, unanticipated, or emergency discoveries, also known as

chance finds, are defined as:

• Newly discovered previously unidentified archaeological sites.

• Artifacts or cultural materials within previously recorded archaeological sites that warrant

further evaluation.

• Any evidence of human remains or graves. All discoveries of bone are to be treated by

construction personnel as potential human remains until a determination regarding whether the

 

VZW/NEPA Regulatory Compliance  REVISED—June 2013  Unanticipated Discovery Plan 

remains are human can be made by a qualified individual, such as a coroner, an archaeologist,

or an osteologist. Any bone encountered must be left in place to the extent possible until the

appropriate experts determine their origin and proper disposition (which may be to leave them

in place and rebury them, perhaps more deeply to avoid further disturbance).

What is a cultural resource?

The first step in dealing appropriately with unanticipated discoveries is recognizing cultural

resources and human remains when they are encountered. Since this UDP is intended for use

by field personnel rather than by cultural resources specialists, a brief summary of types of

cultural resources is provided. The intention is to make field personnel aware of cultural

resources that they may encounter. The intention is not to train field personnel to act as cultural

resource specialists—but to recognize when cultural resource specialists should be consulted.

A cultural resource discovery could be prehistoric or historic, and can consist of artifacts or of

features. Cultural resources are anything exhibiting modification by humans. Stones broken in a

certain way during the manufacture of stone tools are artifacts, as are metal nails or glass

fragments from more recent activities. Cultural features are evidence in the ground of previous

activities, for example a hearth, or a mound of burned rock. Examples of cultural resources

include:

• An accumulation of burned rocks and/or shell

• An area of charcoal or very dark stained or reddened soil, possibly with artifacts

• Stone tools or waste flakes (i.e. an arrowhead, or stone chips)

• Clusters of tin cans or bottles, ceramics, glass, buttons, marbles, pipes, figurines, or doll parts,

and identifiable metal (tools, gun parts, machine parts, hinges, nails, buckles, flatware, wagon

hardware, horse tack) and agricultural equipment that could include items older than 50 years

• Privies (outhouse pits), wells, cisterns, root cellars—any unnatural depression

• Standing structures such as barns, houses, and silos or remains of structures, including buried

walls or foundations

• Buried railroad tracks, decking, or other industrial materials

 

VZW/NEPA Regulatory Compliance  REVISED—June 2013  Unanticipated Discovery Plan 

• Earth and/or rock mounded up above the normal ground surface—any unnatural

prominence

• A trench or pit excavated below the normal ground surface

• Anything that is more symmetrical or regular than expected in nature

• Bones that do not clearly belong to an animal, or evidence of human burials or graves—these receive

special treatment, as described below.

If an object or a feature in the landscape does not look natural, then it is more than likely

cultural. It is best to be conservative, and assume that the material or feature is a cultural

resource if there is any uncertainty.

The identification of cultural resources requires basic training to recognize potential sites,

artifacts, and cultural features of significance. It is recommended that all relevant personnel and

construction contractor personnel be provided basic orientation training designed to facilitate

the recognition of cultural resources and human remains. Such training should be

supplemented by a quick-reference guide to cultural resources that should be available in the

field—perhaps to accompany health and safety documents. In addition, the training and quick-

reference guide should emphasize the exact procedures to be followed in the event of an

unanticipated significant site discovery, such as the discovery of human remains.

What do I do if I find a cultural resource?

1. If you are engaged in work near the cultural resource, stop work immediately, and secure

and protect the discovery location. If you are not engaged in work near the discovery location,

mark the spot so that you can find it again.

2. Do not move anything once you are aware that there may be cultural material present, and do

not remove anything from the location. If anything has already been disturbed, leave it where it

lies until further instruction. If you can take photos without disturbing anything, please do so.

Do not take photos of suspected human remains—any bones or possible graves (see below for

treatment of suspected human burials).

 

VZW/NEPA Regulatory Compliance  REVISED—June 2013  Unanticipated Discovery Plan 

3. Immediately notify a designated supervisor and Verizon Wireless--NEPA Regulatory

Compliance (NRC), of the discovery. Do not discuss the discovery with anyone other than your

supervisor, unless asked to do so by your supervisor. Once made aware of the discovery, the

designated supervisor will immediately notify a qualified archaeologist.

4. Information about the discovery will be provided to the archaeologist, who will provide

guidance on immediate protection measures in the field, until he or she can reach the site.

5. Once the archaeologist has examined the cultural material and developed an assessment of

the significance of the cultural resource based on a visit to the discovery location,

recommendations will be developed through discussion with NRC, to be presented to the State

Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), federal agency, and potentially interested tribes. If the

discovery is deemed potentially significant, NRC, and the archeologist should consult and

coordinate appropriate mitigation measures for treating and handling the discovery, while

minimizing impacts to the construction schedule to the extent possible.

What do I do if I find remains that could be human, or a burial or grave site?

The Project will be subject to state and possibly local laws regarding treatment or disturbance of

human remains. In the event that any human remains are encountered during construction, the

following plan outlines the general procedures to be followed. Before any action is taken,

applicable local and state laws must be consulted.

If you find remains that could be human, or a burial or grave site:

1. Unless you are absolutely sure that the bones represent an animal, as you might be in

the case of an articulated deer skeleton, bones should be treated as if they are human

until an expert determines otherwise.

2. If you are engaged in work near the discovery, stop work immediately, and secure and

protect the discovery location. If you are not engaged in work near the discovery

location, mark the spot so that you can find it again, and protect it to the extent possible.

3. Do not move or touch anything once you are aware that there may be human remains or

graves present, and do not remove anything from the location. If anything has already

been disturbed, leave it where it lies, carefully covered and protected from degradation

 

VZW/NEPA Regulatory Compliance  REVISED—June 2013  Unanticipated Discovery Plan 

by weather or unauthorized individuals. The Site Manager will partition off the area and

take all necessary steps to ensure that the site is not disturbed.

4. Do not photograph any possible human remains or graves or associated artifacts.

5. Immediately notify your supervisor and NRC, of the discovery. The designated

supervisor will immediately notify a qualified archaeologist/physical anthropologist

and the Site Manager.

6. Always be sure to treat human remains and graves with respect and dignity. Do not

speak to anyone other than your designated supervisor about the discovery, unless

asked to do so by your supervisor.

7. Once the archaeologist or other appropriate expert, such as physical anthropologist or

osteologist, confirms that human remains or graves are present, based a site visit, the

Site Manager will notify Verizon Wireless’s Project Manager and the appropriate local

law enforcement agency and/or coroner.

8. If the local law enforcement agency and/or coroner determine that the human remains

or grave are of recent origin, the discovery location will be treated as a crime scene

under the direction of local law enforcement officers.

If the local law enforcement agency and/or coroner find that there is no need for a legal inquiry

or for a criminal investigation, it is recommended that the following best practices be applied:

(a) NRC will immediately notify the FCC of the discovery, and the actions planned.

(b) NRC will immediately notify SHPO and other appropriate state agencies (such as the State

Archaeologist’s Office, if applicable).

(c) NRC will immediately contact any tribes who have requested notice of such discoveries, and

any other who may be interested.

(d) If possible, leave the grave or remains undisturbed in their original condition.

(e) Consult legal advice if modern or historic burials need to be relocated, as special restrictions

and requirements may apply.

(c) NRC, through discussion with FCC, SHPO, interested tribes, and any other interested parties

will develop a plan of action.

No work should proceed in the vicinity of the discovery until the disposition of the discovery is

resolved. If work must proceed in the general area of the discovery before the disposition of the

 

VZW/NEPA Regulatory Compliance  REVISED—June 2013  Unanticipated Discovery Plan 

discovery is final, full-time monitoring by a qualified archaeologist is recommended. A tribal

monitor may also be appropriate, as determined by consultation with interested federally

recognized tribes.
