It has been reviewed pursuant to responsibilities given the <br />State Historic Preservation Office by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the <br />procedures of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36CFR800). <br />Based on the information provided, we concur with the conclusions and recommendations of <br />your consulting archaeologist that a full field survey needs to be performed at two locations <br />within the project area: the 16 acre parcel proposed for expansion of the Orono Substation, <br />and the landform previously identified as site 21 HE0162, being considered as a location for <br />transmission structures. <br />We look forward to reviewing results of that survey. Meanwhile, please call our <br />archaeologist, David Mather, at (651) 259-3454, if you have any questions on our review. <br />Sincerely, <br />c <br />r r <br />Mary An Hei mann, Manager <br />Government Programs and Compliance <br />Nlrnnesata Flistodcaf Society, 345 Kellogg Boulevard West, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />551-259-3000 , 888.727-8386 • www,mnhs.arg <br />
