Specifications include, but are not limited to: Area of Potential Effects Work with the Forest Service heritage staff to determine and define the project’s area of potential effect (APE) and the extent of data reviews and field surveys, which may differ from the APE. Existing Data Review Work with the Forest Service heritage staff to determine the geographical extent of the existing data review, which may range from 500 meters to one mile around the project area. Search the following sources as part of your review: • Utah SHPO applications and digital scans for previous projects or previously recorded cultural resources; and • Forest Heritage GIS database and site files for previous projects and previously recorded cultural resources after conducting a search of Utah SHPO records; and • any available historic maps of the project area, including General Land Office (GLO) maps, mineral surveys, homestead entries, etc.; and • any Forest-specific databases, collections, historic resource databases, or grey literature for the project area; and • historic contexts or other background information for the project area. Field Survey Standards Work with the Forest Service heritage staff to determine and define the extent and intensity of field surveys, consistent with the 2019 USFS-UTSHPO MOU. In Utah, a Class III survey consists of 15-meter transects across the APE. If the survey will deviate from this standard, work with Forest Service heritage staff to prepare consultation documents to demonstrate where terrain, vegetation, safety hazards, or other factors warrant a change from the standard. (Note: The Sawtooth NF, headquartered in Idaho but managing an area in northern Utah, often follows the Idaho standard of 30-meter transects. Work with Forest Service heritage staff to identify appropriate transects and justification for the report.)
