As part of the licensing effort for the Susitna Hydroelectric Project~
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission iG required to comply with
section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106
requires FERC to obtain the comments of the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation regarding the effects of issuing a license on properties on
or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NR). FERC has
delegated the responsibility for identifying previously unknown historic
properties whiCh may be NR eligible to the license applicant~ the Alaska
Power Autnority.
Eadh historic property identified (either through checks of listings of
known sites or through field investigations) must be evaluated to
determine if it meets NR eligibility criteria described in 36 CFR 60.
'!he Secretary of the Interior is the sole authority for determining
whether a property does or does not meet the criteria, although both FERC
and the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) must supply their
opinions about the property to the Secretary before a final determination
will be made.
Existing regulations do allow FERC to request ACHP comments befo~e
receiving formal notification of NR eligibility if both they and the SHPO
agree that the property, or properties, meet NR eligibility criteria.
This, however~ does not absolve FERC from the responsibility for seeking
determinations from the Department of the Interior; it only means that
they may request ACHP comments before DOl actually renders a decision
regarding the NR eligibility of historic properties WhiCh will be
impacted by th~ project.
Requests for determinations of NR eligibility may be submitted in several
forms. Requests may be made for eaCh individual property which will be
affected by a ~roject or~ in the case of multiple properties which are in
some way related~ the request may be made in the form of a district
encompassing more than a single property. The formal distinction between
a site and a district is as follows:

Site:
District:
A site is the location of a significant event, a
pnahistoric or historic occupation or activity, or a
building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or
vanished, when! the location itself maintains historical or
archeological ~·:1lue regardless of the value of any existing
structuna. (36 CFR 60.31)
A district is a geographically definable area ••• possessing
a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of
sites, buildings, structuxes, or objacts united by past
events ••• o A district may also be composed of indiv.tdual
elements separated geographically but linked by associa.tion
or history. (36 CFR 60a3d)
A description of the level of documentation which must accompany a
request for a determination of eligibility is contained in Appendix A.
It should be noted that the level of data required for a district
determination is only minimally greater than that required for an
individual property.
Implications of seeking a determination of eligibility for the
archeological sites within the Susitna project area in the form of a
district as opposed to individual properties are as follows:
A. Requesting determinations of National Register (NR) eligibility for
individual sites within the Susitna project area will require that
approximately 300 individual requests be prepared for submission to,
and review by FERC, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO),
and the Department of the Interior (DOI). While the administrative
burden of preparing 300 requests need not result in delays to the
p:-oject, if sufficient manpower is made available, the time required
for review by FERC and the SHPO may be extensive. (DOl must respond
within either 10 or 45 days depending upon whether or not FERC and
SHPO agree or disagree about the potential eligibility of a site.)
By comparison, a request for a determination of eligibility for a
district, or several districts which may include most or all of the

archeological. sites identified to date, will require considerably
less time and eff'ort. A request of this type is certain to be
reviewed in a more timely manner by all agencies.
B. At the present time the amount of data available about the majority
of arCheological sites identified by the University of Alaska Museum
does not (in the opinion of Harza/Ebasco) satisfy the standard
requirements set forth in Appendix A to 36 CPR 63. Data gathering
(fieldwork) beyond that originally estimated by the University of
Alaska Museum may be required. If individual requests are submitted
to the regulatory agencies with the existing (or anticipated) amount
of data, they may be returned with requests that missing data be
supplied. This may result in e.rcheological fieldwork having to be
conducted so late in the licensing sChedule that delays in the start
of construction could reault. However, it should be noted that it
appears that the SHPO will agree with the position of the University
of Alaska Museum that all of the sites that have been identified to
date are potentially eligible for the National Register. Requests
for additional data from that agency are therefore not likely to
occur.
If FERC agrees with the SHPO~ the provisions of the 36 CFR 63.3
apply and DOI will have 10 days to respond. Several scenarios are
possible at thia point: a) DO! will not respond because of the
inability to review 300 requests in 10 days~ and all sites will be
.
considered eligible for the National Register: b) DOI will request
additional data. whiCh may necessitate more fieldwork and cause
project delays. c) DOI will rule on the eligibility of each site.
In the opinion of Harza/Ebasco a large percentage (perhaps a
majority) of the sites identified by the University of Alaska Museum
may be found not eligible for the NR. (Although DOl is generally
reluctant to overrule an SHPO they can and have done so in the
past). or d) DOI may direct FERC to resubmit the request in the form
o£ a district.

In contrast to the above. a request for a deten1ination of NR
eligibility for an arCheological district requires that the
significance of all sitea within the district be considered
jointly. 'lhe result of this is that the eligibility threshold of
eaCh individual site is reduced. A site that is not eligible
individually. may be eligible as part of the district. A corrollary
of this is that the total amount of data needed to support the NR
eligibility of a district containing a large number of sites is
substantially leas than that required if eaCh site were to be
considered separately. It iu possible that fewer NR eligible
archeological sites would wind up in the Susitna project area if
individual eligibility requests were made as opposed to a district
request. However~ this is not necessarily as advantageous to the
Alaska Power Authority as it might at first appear.
An archeological district has a considerable advantage over
individual sites in terms of mitigition planning. If individual
eligibility requests are submitted. individual mitigation plans may
be required for each site. In contrast a mitigation for an entire
district is allowed to consider the relative importance of
individual sites within the district to eaCh other and to the
district as a whole. This means that no mitigation may be requested
at those sites Which a) have only relative minor significance. b)
contain data which are duplicated .in sufficient quality at other
sites to render collection of additional data statistically
insignificant. or c) contain data of a type and quality which is
better represented at other sites. The net result is that less data
recovery (excavation) is likely to be required for a district than
for the total of all individual sites combined. In addition. in the
event that DOI does not rule that many of sites in the project are
not NR eligible (either because they do not respond or because of a
reluctance to overrule the SHPO) it is almost certain that a greater
amount of data recovery will be required during mitigation8
At present it is anticipated that the general archeological
mitigation plan for the Susitna project will include provisions for
archeological surveys to be conducted after the issuing of the

project license. This is necessitated by the fact that tne exact
locations of some direct impact areas will not be known until after
the issuance of the license (e.g.~ borrow areas). Any archeological
sites found within the boundaries of an NR eligible district can be
evaluated in terms of the aignificance criteria already established
for the district. In the absenc.e of a district any aites found
after the issuance of the project will have to be evaluated
individually. This is likely to result in the need for more
excavation~ both for site evaluation and for data recovery~
D. The boundaries of an NR eligible arCheological district could
conceivably coincide with the entire Susitna project area. However~
arCheological districts almost always are defined in a way that
specifies tha·t only those areas within the district boundaries which
actually contribute to the significance of the district are subject
to the provisions of the National HistQric Preservation Act.
Therefore~ the designation of a district. as opposed to numerous
individual sites. will pose no additional preservation obligations
or responsibilities upon the Alaska Power Authority.
In Summary:
1. Determining NR eligibility for a district will be easier from an
administrative point of view and will result in quicker agency
review than determining NR eligibility multiple individual sites.
2. A mitigation (data recovery/excavation) plan for a district may
be less costly than separate mitigation plan for individual
sites.
3. Sites included in a district are more likely to be determined
eligible for the National Register than are individual sites.
However~ in the case of the Susitna project it is possible that
all sites will be determined NR eligible in any case.

4. Establishment of a district will su&plify dealing with
arCheological sites whiCh may be located after issuance of the
project license, and
5. Designation of district should not result in any additional
obligation for the Alaska Power Authority beyond those
associated with individual archeological sites.

Description
The sites in the St. Johns River Power Park were located during a systematic
cultural resource survey conducted by Southeastern Wildlife Services, Inc. for In EnvirosphereCo. as part of an environmental information document for the Jacksonville
~J Electric Authority. Subsequently, the sites were evaluated through a limited
... ~] archaeological testing program. Horizontal boundaries were defined through surface
searching and subsurface testing methods. The vertical extent of the cultural
deposits was determined using 29 test pits. Material cultural remains are pre-
dominantly prehistoric ceramics, small shell and non-shell middens, and historic
architectural remains. From the testing of these sites the Southeastern Wildlife
Services, Inc. archaeologists conclude that the area was not oc~upied by prehistoric
populations producing St. Johns type ceramics. Only two St. Johns period sherds
were found, and these were associated with contemporaneous Savannah period ceramics.
It is not known whether the presence of Savannah period ceramics is a result of
migration, diffusion, or acculturation.
.,
ILJ
The basic settlement pattern appears to be that of specialized fish and shell-
fish gathering camps during the prehistoric period. These would be shor~-term
occupations based on the limited horizontal and vertical extent of the shell deposits.
The non-shell sites could have been locations for the exploitation of marsh fauna,
other than shellfish, or small nut collecting camps. The presence of several sites
of the S'ame time period can be ascribed to repeated occupation (Rudolph and Wood 1980).
Environmental Setting
These sites occur on sandy ridges adjacent to the marsh near a tidal creek
which flows into Browns Creek. Vegetation consists of mixed hardwoods, cypress
and hardwood swamps, and tidal salt marshes. Hardwood hammocks are located primarily
on the southern boundary of the St. Johns River Power Park adjacent to the marshes
and tidal creeks.
The soils are Kershaw and Ortega, which are well drained, sloping ridges,
containing mixed hardwoods. Present vegetation has been generally stable since
3000 B.C. (Rudolph and Wood 1980:5). At that time the vegetation in southern Georgia
and central Florida shifted from dry oak forest to the familiar pine forest with
hammock, bayhead, and cypress swamp vegetation. It is believed that the shift in
vegetation resulted in the movement of prehistoric populations from the interior
forest in central Florida to the riverine environment (Rudolph and Wood 1980:5).
Archa<aological Investigations a.nd Integrity
The eleven archaeological sites tested in the area were disturbed to varying
degrees. One large site, 8Du634, has been severely disturbed by a borrow pit and
erosion. Site 8Du669 is better preserved and lies directly to the north of 8Du634.
Site Du634 may contain significant cultural features, particularly adjacent to and
within the adjoining wetlands marsh where normally perishable wood, bone, fiber, and
other artifacts are likely well preserved. The SHPO has recommended a 100-200 foot
buffer zone on either side of the site's eastern boundary.

Item 7 continued
8Du699 is a large (8.8 ha) multicomponent shell village midden with two
occupations: 2000-1000 B.C. and 700-1300 A.D.
8Du670 is a large (2.9 ha) habitation site with an aboriginal component
(700-1500 A.D.) and a historic component. The site is relatively well preserved
a~d its significance centers primarily on its association with site 8Du669.
3Du671 is a small subsurface shell midden dating to 700-1300 A.D. Its signi-
ficance is its relation to site 8Du669.
8Du672 is a small disturbed artifact scatter area.
8Du673 is a multicomponent site (2000-1000 B.C. and 700-1500 A.D.) with a
historic component dating to the late 19th -early 20th century. It is associated
with 8Du669 and may have a wetlands extension •
8Du674 is a small (1.2 ha) midden located on a tongue of land between two
unnamed creeks. This site contains a Savannah and a Wilmington period occupation in
a relatively undisturbed condition.
8Du675 is a very small (100 m2l non-shell site and appears to be a single Savannah
period occupation area. It is interpreted as r~presenting a single house site occupied
fc·r a relatively short period; it is considered significant in terms of the information
it could yield on similar units of isolated and mixed contexts.
8Du676 is a small artifact scatter area of undetermined aboriginal cultural
affiliation.
8Du677 is a small (200 m2) shell midden site with a dense layer of oyster shell
located 20-50 em below the surface.
8DU678 is a small (300 m2) non-shell site located near the bluff edge of a small
tidnl creek. Its significance is its relationship to the whole concentration of sites.
Table 1 contains archaeological site summary data.
Boundary Ju~fication
The district is in the northern St. Johns River valley between Browns Creek and
San Carlos Creek. It in:lud~s 239 acres. The boundaries are defined to include all
of the sites which the Florida SHPO has determined for preservation (see SHPO Figure lb).
The southeastern boundary of the district can be delineated by the mean high water level.
Figure la (Rudolph and Wood 1980) shows the location of the archaeological site and
Figure lb (annotated SHPO) showsthe location of the sites recommended for preservation
and the potential archaeological ~~etrict a~ determined by the Florida SHPO.

Stat~ment of Significance {in one ,PC]ragraph}
The environmental setting of these sites contributes to the significance and the
possibility that these sites contain information important to understanding environ-
mental changes, human populations readjustment to changing habitat, and c.ultural
interactions between the Georgia coastal tradition and the northern Florida or
northern St. Johns culture area. Milanich and Fairbanks (1980:29) state that "there
are still unresolved problems in the cultural evolution of the region'' and that
''eporadic instances of northern intrusions of the Deptford culture and later, other
northern complexes appear, especially in the northern and western parts of east
Florida."
This cluster of eleven archaeological sites is significant because it occurs in
a relatively unaltered environment and contains intact cultural levels and/or features.
Essentially, the area was occupied during two major prehistoric periods. The sand
ridges adjacent to the marsh contain Orange period and Savannah period components.
The historic occupation centers on two small ridge tops overlooking the marsh. The
tentative date range for the sites is 700-1500 A.D. with an earlier Orange period
(2000-1000 B.C.) component. The most distinctive aspect of the archaeological survey
and testing investigations was the absence of traditional chalky St. Johns ceramics
characteristic of the northern St. Johns Archaeological Area (FDAHR:1980). The
absence of early and middle Archaic sites is not unexpected since most Archaic
sites are located at least 50 miles south of the area. The location of Orange peri~d
sites along the marsh edge follows what is known about the settlement pattern
(Rudolph, Gresham, and Wood 1980:61). 8Du634 has been SP-verely disturbed. The
other large sites, 8Du669, 8DU670; 8Du573, and 8Du674, retain intact cultural levels
and/or features. The smaller sites are primarily single component sites of limited
horizontal and vertical extent.

A. Archeological Data Recovery
1. Prior to the initiation of any construction or other land-disturbing
activities which could affect archeological sites 8 DU 669, 8
DU 677, the undiaturbed portion of 8 DU 634, or other sites in
the Archeological District, a detailed data recovery plan, including
a research design that addresses both .regional and aore general
research problems, will be developed. The plan will be prepared

2. The plan will be submitted to the Florida SHPO and the Council
for review prior to implementation. If neither party objects
within 15 working days after receipt ~f the plan, the plan will
be implemented; if either party object~ EPA will consult with the
Florida SHPO, the Council, and the Jack;•onville Electric Authority
in order to resolve the objections.
B. Archeological Site Protection
c.
1. ~PA will ensure that plans for protecting those portions of the
St. Johns River Power Park Archeological District not directly
affected by construction or other land-disturbing activities,
including fencing and access restrictions, are developed and
implemented in consultation with Florida SHPO.
Transmission Line Corridors
1. Prior to the selection of the final transmission line alignment,
archeological field survey(s) will be conducted in consultation
with the Florida SHPO along any portions of the proposed rights-of-
way previously identified as archeologically sensitive in "Site
Certification Application--Environmental Information Document for
Propose.f St. Johns River Power Park," Appendix K (1981). Survey
work will be undertaken with reference to 36 CFR Part 66t Appendix
B (Attachment 2).
2. Identified archeological resources will be evaluated in consultation
with Florida SHPO. If there is any question as to whether a
property meets the National Register Criteria (36 CFR Sec. 60.6),
a determination of eligibility will be requested from the Secretary
of the Interior in accordance with 36 CFR Part 63. Any archeological
resources found to meet the Criteria will be avoided or preserved
in place whenever feasible through minor .alignment shifts, tower
placement, changes in construction methods, or other measure~.
When this is not feasible, the Florida SHPO will be consulted and
a treatment consistent with the Council's Handbook, Treatment of
Archeological Properties (Attachment 1) and approved by the
Florida SHPO will be developed and implemented.
D. Additional Stipulations
1. All archeological work will be conducted under the direct superv1s1on
of an archeologist(s) who meets, at a ainimum, the appropriate
qualifications set forth in 36 CFR P~rt 66, Appendix C (Attachment 3).
2.
3.
All archeological aaterials, along with field notes, maps, drawings,
and photographic records, will be curated at a auitable repository
agreed upon by the Florida SHPO, EPA, and the Jacksonville Electric
Authority.
Copies of the final reports of archeoloaical investigations will
be supplied to the Florida SIIPO, the Council, and Interaaency
Archeoloaical Services (lational Part Service, Departaent of the
Interior. WaahiD&ton, D.C. 20243) for poaaible au~ssion to the
Jational TechDieal IDfo~tion Service CITIS).
