August 13,2024 COH, Professional Services FY025 Archaeology Page 11 of 11 PROCEDURAL INFORMATION The generalized procedures that will be adhered to by ASM for providing any required services to the County of Hawai`i is as follows: When a COH work order is issued the Project Manager will initially assess whether the project is to be performed in compliance with HRS Chapter 6E or additionally in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (if federal monies or permits are involved). If the project requires only Chapter 6E compliance, the Project Manager will initiate discussions with the Depaitnient of Land and Natural Resources-State Historic Preservation Division(DLNR-SHPD)and assess the range of technical expertise needed to complete the work product.If archaeological resources are potentially involved than the ASM Project Supervisor will be notified to organize the appropriate research effort. If architectural resources are potentially involved than the ASM Architectural History Division will be notified to support and staff the appropriate research effort. In compliance with Hawai`i Administrative Rules (HAR), separate archaeological and architectural inventory survey reports will be prepared for the project. The Project Manager will make sure that that these reports are mutually complementary and not only structurally consistent but in compliance with HAR 13§13-276. The Project Manager will follow-up with DLNR-SHPD with respect to any additional historic preservation or mitigation work that may be required, such as preservation planning, data recovery,burial treatment planning,or historic building/site documentation. The Project Manager will direct any required mitigation work to the appropriate Project Supervisor. All preservation and data recovery work,whether archaeological or architectural,will comply with HAR 13§13-277 and 278,respectively.Burial treatment planning will be jointly conducted with the Project Manager and Osteologist if necessary and our in-house cultural expert) and will be done in compliance with HAR 13§13-300. If the project work ultimately involves monitoring of subsurface disturbance this will be done on compliance with HAR 13§13-279,and if it is determined that cultural monitoring is an appropriate course of action,then the Project Manager will contact an independent cultural sub-consultant,to establish and implement a proper cultural monitoring protocol.Upon completion of all historic preservation work related to any work order,the Project Manager will prepare a request letter soliciting a written conclusion from DLNR-SHPD that the historic preservation review process has been completed. If the project will also require Section 106 compliance, the Project Manager will coordinate with the federal agency and COH with respect to initiating consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer(SHPO)and making a determination on the Area of Potential Effects(APE).Once the proper Section 106 authority delegations are in place,the Project Manager will enlist the assistance of the Senior Project Manager in conducting appropriate Section 106 consultation with any identified affected cultural groups or individuals.If it is determined that the project has the potential to affect archaeological historic properties, then the ASM Project Supervisor will be contacted and the ASM technical staff will conduct the appropriate field surveys; if it is determined that the project has the potential to affect architectural historic properties,then the ASM Architectural History Division will be contacted and the division's technical staff will support the field surveys. Technical staff will complete the field documentation and reporting under the guidance and oversight of the Project Supervisor, direction of the Project Manager, and under advisement of the Senior Project Manager. The resultant reports will be packaged together as a single Section 106 historic properties inventory and readied for submittal as such to the SHPO. If the agency determines that the project will have no effect on historic properties,then the Project Manager will assist the agency in preparing such a determination letter for SHPO concurrence. If the agency determines that the project will have no adverse effect on historic properties, then the Project Manager will assist the agency in preparing the appropriate justification for a no adverse effect determination for SHPO concurrence. If it is determined that the project will adversely affect historic properties,then the Project Manager will assist the agency in the preparation of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) specifying the measures that will be taken to mitigate the adverse impacts. Once the MOA has been signed, the Project Manager will direct the appropriate Project Supervisor(s)in the execution of the agreed upon mitigation measures. Such measure may include preservation and or data recovery and may involve archaeological or architectural historic properties. 8210 Mi Ii lani Street,Ste.700,Honolulu,Hataagii 96E13(808}439-3089 Fax ME)4 39-80E7 507A East Ian ikau la Street,Hilo,Hawaii 96720(220}969-6066 Fax:(308}443-00E9 149 MaaStreet,Ste.103,Kahului,Hawaii 96732( }736-6665 www.asm affi liates.c€m
