Septic to Gravity Sewer Conversion Project <br />Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />working hours. The Tribe will make every effort to recommend diverting the project and keeping the <br />remains in situ and protected. If the project cannot be diverted, it may be determined that burials will <br />be removed. The Tribe will work closely with the qualified archaeologist to ensure that the excavation <br />is treated carefully, ethically and respectfully. If data recovery is approved by the Tribe, <br />documentation shall be taken which includes at a minimum detailed descriptive notes and sketches. <br />Additional types of documentation shall be approved by the Tribe for data recovery purposes. <br />Cremations will either be removed in bulk or by means as necessary to ensure completely recovery of <br />all material. If the discovery of human remains includes four or more burials, the location is <br />considered a cemetery and a separate treatment plan shall be created. Once complete, a final report <br />of all activities is to be submitted to the Tribe and the NAHC. The Tribe does NOT authorize any <br />scientific study or the utilization of any invasive and/or destructive diagnostics on human remains. <br />Each occurrence of human remains and associated funerary objects will be stored using opaque cloth <br />bags. All human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony will be <br />removed to a secure container on site if possible. These items should be retained and reburied within <br />six months of recovery. The site of reburial/repatriation shall be on the project site but at a location <br />agreed upon between the Tribe and the landowner at a site to be protected in perpetuity. There shall <br />be no publicity regarding any cultural materials recovered. <br />Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 5 November 2020 <br />
