Other resources should include, but not <br /> be limited to the Natural and Cultural Systems Element of the Orange County <br /> Comprehensive Plan and DEAPR staff research files. <br /> C. Surface and Subsurface Investigation of Construction Areas <br /> The Consultant should perform surface and possible subsurface investigation in <br /> planned construction areas, as shown on attached Figure 1 and described herein. The <br /> amount of subsurface excavation will depend on the results of initial surface <br /> investigation, and may require intensive subsurface shovel test pits (STPs) only in <br /> specific concentrated areas. The number of STPs shall be of the Consultant's <br /> choosing, but should be sufficient to determine the cultural and archaeological <br /> significance of the site(s) and to document the site(s) with state survey forms. <br /> D. Reporting of Results <br /> The Consultant shall provide the following reports to the Orange County project <br /> manager, in accordance with the project schedule outlined below: <br /> • Preliminary Field Report: An informal management summary is to be provided, <br /> following completion of the initial investigation. This Preliminary Field Report shall <br /> document the findings of the field work, status of the research and other relevant <br /> information. If deemed necessary by the initial findings, the Consultant shall also <br /> provide time for an on-site progress meeting (in the field) to review findings with the <br /> project manager, prior to moving forward with remaining effort. <br /> • Draft Final Report: This report shall be complete, as if being issued as a "final" report <br /> but bear a DRAFT designation. Provide overviews of those portions of prehistory and <br /> history that are relevant to this portion of Orange County. The report will also include <br /> detailed maps of any former locations of roads, historic structures, and any significant <br /> landscape alterations associated with those historic structures. The report shall <br /> generally satisfy requirements outlined in the "Guidelines for Preparation of <br /> Archaeological Survey Reports," prepared by the NC Office of State Archaeology. <br /> Orange County will review the Draft Final Report and comment back to the Consultant <br /> within two weeks. <br /> • Final Report: Following Orange County's review of the Draft Final Report, the <br /> Consultant shall make any required changes in response to County comments and <br /> submit four copies of the revised final report, along with a copy of the final report in <br /> digital format (CD or DVD) to Orange County. The Consultant shall also submit to <br /> Orange County and to the Office of State Archaeology copies of all field maps <br /> delineating the subsurface test grid and the location of all archaeological and above <br /> ground sites, as well as copies of all recorded survey sites, including copies of digital <br /> photographs. <br /> III.
