PROJECT RELATED EXPERIENCE PREHISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGY Elk River Loop '99. Anoka and Sherburne Counties, Minnesota. The 106 Group conducted Phase I and II archaeological along a 15-mile pipeline corridor. The Phase I survey discovered two precontact American Indian heritage sites and one Euro-American site within the project corridor. One of the precontact period sites required Phase II archaeological and geomorphological evaluation to determine its eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Based on the evaluation, Site 21AN147 lacked significant research potential° The 106 Group recommended that 21AN147 was not eligible for the National Register. The Minnesota SHPO concurred fully with all of The 106 Group's recommendations resulting from the investigations. Lake Orono Improvement Project, Elk River, Anoka County, Minnesota. The 106 Group Ltd. conducted a Phase I archaeological survey within the Orono Cemetery Property for the proposed Lake Orono Improvement Project on a promontory along the southern edge of Lake Orono in Elk River, Minnesota~ No archaeological sites were found. Bluffs of Buffalo Lake, Buffalo, Wright County, Minnesota. The 106 Group conducted a Phase I archaeological survey and Phase II archaeological testing for the Bluffs of Buffalo Lake development project. The archaeological investigation was conducted to assist a private developer in preparing documentation for the completion of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the proposed construction of a housing development. During the Phase I survey five archaeological sites were identified, two of which warranted further investigation. One of these sites was recommended as eligible for listing on the National Register and was subsequently avoided during the construction. Trunk Highway 41 Over Minnesota River Crossing, Carver and Scott Counties, Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), in partnership with Scott and Carver Counties, is initiating work on the Trunk Highway (TH) 41 Over Minnesota River Crossing Scoping Study. The scoping process is the first step in the preparation of a Tier I Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project. A tiered EIS process is being utilized to identify the preferred alternative alignment now so that it can be preserved for future construction, currently planned for implementation after year 2020. The 106 Group conducted a cultural resources assessment for the TH 41 project. The purpose of this cultural resources assessment was to identify known cultural resources, including architecture-history properties and archaeological sites, within the TH 41 project study area and to identify those portions of the study area with higher potential for containing cultural resources that require further investigation in order to determine their potential eligibility for listing on the National Register.
