File #2295-18; Cimarron Environmental Trust Proposed Construction of Groundwater Remediation Project, Logan County, Oklahoma
Dear Mr. Rodriguez:
We have received your correspondence concerning the referenced project which may require a permit from the U.S. Depmiment of the Army, Corps of Engineers (COE). To assist you in completion of your preconstruction package, we suggest that you review the list of Oklahoma prope1iies included in the National Register of Historic Places on our website at:
http://www.ocgi.okstate.edu/shpo/allsites.htm http://www.okhist01y.org/shpo/nationalregister.org and other documented resources included in the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory (OLI) at:
http://www.ocgi.okstate.edu/shpo You or your representative are welcome to review the hard copy files for both National Register and OLI resources in our office, and you should contact Sara Werneke, National Register of Historic Places Coordinator at 405/522-4478 to schedule an appointment for this purpose.
The Oklahoma Archeological Survey maintains the site files for the state's m*chaeological resources.
For questions about access to that information, contact the State Archaeologist, at 405/325-7211.
Should consultation on your project pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act become necessary, it is our understanding that the COE will formally initiate that process with our office.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Catharine M. Wood, Historical Archaeologist, at 405/521-6381. Thank you.
Sincerely, /tN>r-'"'a

Dear Ms. Wood:
Cimarron Environmental Response Trust (CERT) is proposing to construct a Groundwater Remediation Project (Project) in Logan County, Oklahoma (Attachment 1: Figure A-1). The proposed Project is located on U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) Crescent and Navina topographic quadrangle maps at Township 16 N, Range 4 W, Section 12. The Project requires a Pre-Construction Notification to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District under a Nationwide Permit 12, which requires compliance with the terms of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
CERT is proposing the installation of approximately 17,746 feet (5,409 meters [m]) of two to eight-inch (5 to 20 centimeter [cm]) utility and groundwater conveyance lines, 4,662 feet (1,421 m) of four to six-inch (10 to 15 cm) discharge lines, and two associated permanent structures relating to groundwater treatment (Attachment 1: Figure A-2). The proposed depth of impacts are 3 feet (0.9 m) associated with water conveyance systems, approximately 18 to 36 inches (0.5 to 0.9 m) associated with water discharge piping installation, and a maximum of 40 feet associated with extraction and injection trenches. The proposed Area of Potential Effects (APE) is approximately 503 acres and is located on private property.
On behalf of CERT, a Burns & McDonnell archeologist performed a background review of the APE and a 1-mile buffer at the Oklahoma Archeological Survey (OAS) in Norman, Oklahoma and online using the architectural Oklahoma Landmark Inventory (OLI) and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) NPGallery Database, and historic-age United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps.
Previously Records Archeological Sites and Surveys The records review revealed four previously recorded cultural resources surveys within a 1-mile radius of the Project, none of which intersect with the APE (Table 1; Attachment A: Figure A-3).
Catherine Wood Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office July 23, 2018 Page 2 Table 1: Previous Cultural Resources Surveys within One Mile of the Project Date Surveyed by Agency Intersects APE 10/14/1999 Duncan NRCS-FEMA No 12/16/1997 NSFW NSFW No 4/30/2010 OShea ODOT No 7/2/2004 Graystone FCC No The review also identified one previously recorded archeological site within the 1-mile buffer (Table 2; Attachment A: Figure A-3). Neither is within the APE.
Table 2: Previously Recorded Archeological Sites within One Mile of the Project Trinomial Site Type NRHP Eligibility Recommendation Intersects APE 34LG91 Historic Farmstead Not Eligible No No additional previously recorded cultural resources were identified within the APE or 1-mile buffer in an examination of the OLI and the NRHP NPGallery Database.
A review of historic-age maps covering the APE identified that two buildings once stood within the APE. The buildings are depicted on the USGS Kingfisher, OK, topographic quadrangle map dating to 1892, revised 1922 (Attachment A: Figure A-4). These structures are missing on subsequent maps dating from 1954, 1957, and 1963 (USGS 2018). Additionally, the 1970 USGS Crescent, OK, Topographic Quadrangle map depicts the current buildings and Sewage Disposal Ponds within the APE. These detention ponds are no longer extant as of 1991 aerial photographs (NETR 2018).
The proposed Project location is located on the south bank of the Cimarron River with Holocene-age alluvium within the floodplain and Permian-age Garber Sandstone composing the river bluff (Heran et al. 2003). Soils are mapped as both the Yahola-Gracemore-Goodnight-Gaddy (s6236) and the Vanoss-Teller-Norge-Konawa (s6276), respectively (NRCS 2018). The Yahola-Gracemore-Goodnight-Gaddy Complex is composed mainly of sandy or loamy soils derived predominately from Holocene-age alluvium. The Vanoss-Teller-Norge-Konawa Complex is also
Catherine Wood Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office July 23, 2018 Page 3 composed of sandy and loamy soils derived predominately from Pleistocene-age alluvium (NRCS 2018).
Given the proximity to a major waterway, the Cimarron River, and the large amounts of alluvial deposits, the location does appear to have a high probability for buried cultural material.
Although no previously recorded archeological sites are within the APE, the area does not appear to have been previously surveyed for cultural resources. Due to the proximity of the Cimarron River and deep, alluvial soils within the floodplain, the APE has potential for containing previously unrecorded cultural resources. Burns & McDonnell, on behalf of CERT, respectfully requests guidance on how to proceed with fulfilling our obligations under Section 106 of NHPA.
We greatly appreciate your assistance and timely response. If you have any questions, please contact me at dprodriguez@burnsmcd.com or (817) 570-0009.
Sincerely, Daniel Rodriguez, MA, RPA Staff Cultural Resources Specialist
