According to the report,three archaeological sites were identified during <br /> the field investigations, sites 21AN0197, 21AN0198, and 21AN0199. We agree with the consultant's <br /> recommendation that these sites are not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. <br /> Therefore,we conclude that there are no properties listed in the National or State Registers of Historic <br /> Places, and no significant archaeological properties located in the area that will be affected by this <br /> project. <br /> Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the National <br /> Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36 CFR § 800. If this project is considered for federal financial <br /> assistance, or requires a federal permit or license,then review and consultation with our office will need <br /> to be initiated by the lead federal agency. Be advised that comments and recommendations provided by <br /> our office for this state-level review may differ from findings and determinations made by the federal <br /> agency as part of review and consultation under Section 106. <br /> Please contact Kelly Gragg-Johnson, Environmental Review Program Specialist, at <br /> kelly.graggiohnson@state.mn.us if you have any questions regarding our review of this project. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Sarah J.
