Specifications include, but are not limited to: This is a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) cultural resource survey project being contracted by the Watershed Restoration Initiative (WRI). This project is focused on completing archaeological surveys in advance of future vegetation management and fire risk management projects in the southern Book Cliffs area of southern Uintah County and northern Grand County. More specifically the project is found in the Tom Patterson, Bitter Creek, Chipeta Canyon, and Black Horse areas. The project area has had previous hazardous fuel reduction treatments. The project area contains crucial winter and summer sagebrush habitat for mule deer and elk and is within a GHMA for Greater sage-grouse as well as a SGMA. The proposed treatment is part of the larger design of a fuel break. The fuel break has been planned in an area where if there was a fire to occur the BLM would have more suppression tactics available to control the burn before crucial habitats are lost. The goal for the project is to complete Class III surveys in areas where mowing, mastication and seeding treatments will occur. The objective of the treatment is to maintain vegetation health through the management of fuel types, protecting existing habitat and reducing fire frequency by not allowing larger fires to convert the current vegetation to invasive species (cheatgrass). The project area totals approximately 4,574 primarily on BLM lands in Uintah and Grand Counties, split between many polygons. Approximately 125 acres of Trust Lands Administration (TLA) is included. Another 110 acres of Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) land is also included. A very small portion of private land is included but is likely a GIS error. Given the project is occurring BLM, TLA and DWR lands and is funded with state and federal monies, this project qualifies as both a state and federal undertaking. The survey, reporting, and SHPO/tribal consultation will be completed under state and federal cultural resource regulations and standards.
