The Phase 1 cultural resource investigation was conducted on July 25 th, September 9th, and October 14th-17th, 2024. “One newly recorded archaeological resource and one newly recorded architectural resource were observed and recorded during the cultural resource survey of the Project” (Appendix M):  “The newly recorded archaeological resource (21SH0093) is an isolated lithic find consisting of one broken secondary flake and one tertiary flake fragment that is recommended as not eligible for the NRHP” (Appendix M).  “The newly recorded architectural resource (SH-ERC-00217) is a ca. 1900 vacant house that is part of a farm complex that is situated in a rural setting at 16330 US Highway 10 NW” that is recommended as not eligible for the NRHP (Appendix M). Therefore, “In Situ recommends a finding of No Historic Properties Affected within the surveyed Project area and no further cultural resource work is recommended for the proposed Project” (Appendix M). In order to mitigate potential impacts to the Oliver H. Kelly Farmstead along the southern project area boundary, trees will be planted to screen the farmstead from the development and a split rail wood fence is anticipated along the southern property line. If archaeological materials or artifacts are encountered during construction, a professional archaeologist will be consulted. Similarly, if human remains are encountered during development, all work will stop, and local law enforcement will be notified. 40 Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office. MnSHIP.
