Archaeology <br /> There are no recorded archaeological sites within the APE,and it is our opinion that there is a low likelihood of <br /> intact archaeological resources being present within the APE for this undertaking.Therefore,we do not believe <br /> that an archaeological survey is warranted for the undertaking as it is currently proposed. <br /> Historic/Architectural <br /> We agree with the agency determination that there are no historic/architectural properties within the APE <br /> which are either listed in or which have previously been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of <br /> Historic Places(NRHP). <br /> Although not clearly articulated in the submitted documentation,we understand that Trailside Park is a park <br /> which was established in 1973,with several other amenities added in the 1980s and 2000s.It is our opinion that <br /> survey and evaluation of Trailside Park to determine NRHP eligibility is not warranted.Also,it is our <br /> understanding that there are no other properties 45 years or older within the APE for the proposed undertaking. <br /> Consulting Parties <br /> We understand that Terry Kemper,former Tribal Historic Preservation Officer(THPO)of the Mille Lacs Band of <br /> Ojibwe,has expressed an interest in the federal undertaking.If,as a result of continued consultation with the <br /> new THPO,Mike Wilson(email: Mike.Wilson@millelacsband.com),the Mille Lacs Band expresses a concern <br /> related to the federal undertaking and its potential effects on historic properties,then please re-open <br /> consultation with our office. <br /> We look forward to further consultation regarding your agency's finding of effect for the proposed federal <br /> undertaking. Please contact me at sarah.beimers@state.mn.us or(651)201-3290 if you have any questions <br /> regarding our review of this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 01)MU.q:BaM4/171 <br /> Sarah J.
