General rmplicatians af Survey Resuits to Dabe ' While one of the surveys remains incomplete at ti�is�me, it is�pparent that there are two primary imptications that can be drawn: � 1. The cultural survey has identified two s'�tes that may qualffy for the Natlonal Register af � His[x�ric Piaces. Ar�r I�nd disturbing or human activities should attempt to avoid these s'�tes and their immediabe ernrirons, for possible future archaeolagicat wark. (These si�tes are . shawn on the map in a cir�cular area idendfied with an"H'�. Z. The biological reso�rce survey appears to indicate that the mesic oak(i.e.,dry ar uptands oak)and mixed hardwood for�st in the northem portion of the Greene tract is more iikely bo hast the greater variety of species, and as such might be seen as tfie most signfficant biologicai resourc�ee on s�te. The poterrtiai wetlands and mixed hardwood forest In the southeastiem por�ion of the sit� are aiso worthy of note. With these primary implications in tl�e mind,the following sec�ons summarize in a general way where the"besr'or most appropriabe 6U-aaes on this property might be for three cai�egories of pobential I�nd uses. Tt should be noted that this is a cursary review, and that a morerdefinitive anafysis would require a more detailed and in-depifi assessment of the properly. In some cases, the sec6ars of the site that are identified do nat equal 60 acr�es. We have �ompleted the assessment wi1i� an �dea for a canceptual pian t-hat might ac�ammodate all of these uses on Hie � Greene tract.
