Subject: RE: Boards &Commission Semi-Annual Report Due in September
Valarie,
The commission as a body should have a chance to review and agree on the content of the report, and then decide who
will be the one to deliver it. If they haven't provided a report yet to council,they can do it at any time—it doesn't appear
that council gave them a certain month to report in,just that they have to give one report a year.

I had not heard back from you about this. Please confirm if one or two annual reports were required from the HP

I seem to recall that the HP Commission was asked by Council to provide just one report a year when reports had been

Although Alutiiq, Russians, and an American-Native family had.lived at the head of Resurrection Bay earlier,the town
of Seward was founded in 1903. John and Frank Ballaine selected the site for the terminus of the railway they planned
to build to interior Alaska. They named the town for William H. Seward,the Secretary of State who negotiated the
Alaska Treaty of Cession with Russia. After several private companies failed to build the railroad,the federal
government completed it from Seward to Fairbanks in 1923.
Much of the land around Seward became part of Chugach National Forest when it was created in 1907. Some land,
however,was open for homesteading and islands could be leased from the Forest Service for fox farms. Seward also
became the supply center for Kenai Peninsula gold miners and home portforfishermen. Trails,the best known being
the Iditarod, between mines and the town developed. Seward incorporated in 1912. Artist Rockwell Kent and his son
spent the winter of 1918-19 on Fox Island near town. In 1926 the Methodist Church moved its Jesse Lee Home for
Children from Unalaska to Seward. John "Benny" Benson,a 13-year old living at the home,won the contest in 1926 to
design Alaska's flag.
Lowell Creek, at the west end of town, plagued Seward from its early years until the Corps of Engineers constructed a
diversion tunnel in 1939. The town also suffered from fires. In 1941 a fire destroyed 19 businesses on the east side of
Fourth Avenue and left 450 people homeless. A fire in 1942 burned the lower west side of the street and left 100
people homeless.
In 1941 the U.S.Army established Forts Raymond and McGilvery at Seward for harbor and coastal defense fearing a
Japanese attack. The posts closed in 1944. Alaska's war on tuberculosis used some of the post buildings for a
sanatorium between 1946 and the mid-1950s. The Seward Highway connecting Seward with other communities on
the Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage opened in 1951. With stable employment opportunities,Seward was the largest
town on the Kenai Peninsula in 1960. The.1964 earthquake, particularly the tsunami it generated,destroyed much of
the town and permanently altered the waterfront. Seward rebuilt. It became part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough in
1964.
The state opened the Alaska Vocational Technical School (AVTEC) in 1969 in Seward, and later built a prison outside of
town. In 1980 the new Kenai Fjords National Park opened its headquarters in Seward. The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill
seriously impacted Resurrection Bay. Settlement funds helped construct the Alaska SeaLife Center,a marine research
and public education center,that opened in 1998. Tourism and recreation are major contributors to Seward's
economy today. Primarily a non-Native community, Qutekcak Tribe and Chugach Alaska Native Corporation are a
presence in the town.

Subject: Alaska's Statewide Historic Preservation Plan
Attachments: Preservation plan flyer.pdf
CLG staff and Commission Chairs,
I wanted to remind you that the Alaska Office of History and Archaeology is in the early stages of updating
Alaska's Statewide Historic Preservation Plan. During this stage we are reaching out to the public for guidance
on what historic places matter most to people throughout the state as well as what people think are
challenges we face in preserving our states historic resources and what potential opportunities and
partnerships there might be to help address these challenges.
As Certified Local Governments, we are reaching out to you in hopes that you might help spread the word
within your community about the opportunity to participate in this planning process and help guide us in
developing Goals and Objectives that will focus the direction of historic preservation in Alaska though
2023. Help us know what preservation matters are of importance to`your community. The plans goals and
objectives should be of particular importance to our CLGs as not only do they shape where we focus our grant
fund priorities but often times CLGs may be implementers of particular goals, objectives, or strategies.
Alaskans can participate in the early stages of plan development in several ways—through an online survey at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AKHPP and through an online photo sharing campaign,#ThisPlaceMatters
Alaska. Photo submissions to the#ThisPlaceMatters Alaska website can depict historic buildings and
structures, residential neighborhoods, downtown streetscapes, historic and rural landscapes, and
archaeological sites (the location of archaeological sites should be generalized for their protection).To submit
a photo, use the bit.ly/AKThisPlaceMatters. For more information on the planning process and to read our
current plan,Saving our Past, you can visit our website
http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/oha/planning/hpplanupdate. I have also attached a flyer that you can send on to
anyone you might think would have an interest or post somewhere in your community.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide in spreading the word about this planning effort. The more
feedback we get from Alaskans from across the state the better we can develop a plan that addresses the
needs and concerns of all Alaskans. If you have any additional questions about our planning effort please do
not hesitate to ask.

Response to Comments

Seward.Historic Preservation Commission •
John French,Vice Chair
PO Box 167 •
Seward,AK 99664
Dear Mr.French:
Thank you for your response to DOT&PF's findings on the proposed-Seward Roads Improvements project. I
wanted to respond to the recommendations made by the Seward Historic Preservation Commission on those
findings in the hopes of building a mutually beneficial working relationshipon this and future.DOT&PF
projects of interest to the greater Seward community.
1. The Commission disagrees with the blanket finding of no adverse effect to historic resources; based
on the possible discovery of artifacts of potentialhistoric importance.
Our proposed project will be operating in a very shallow vertical footprint. As stated in the findings letter,the
project would resurface the existing footprint offvarious roads owned by the City of Seward,all located in
Seward,Alaska.Additional work would include:
• Providing structural section repairs to the roads,as needed
• Upgrading pedestrian curb ramps to comply with Americans With Disabilities Act(ADA)requirements
• Drainage improvements and culvert replacements,as needed
• Replacing signage and striping,as needed
• Vegetation clearing to re-establish ditches
• Paving of existing gravel road segments in Forest Acres
"Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure."
R 'i ,� x. ,r a
'�• w s
a ti: ‘'.1,: S a
The subsurface activities included in this list are the section repairs,drainage improvements and culvert
replacements;however,these will take place in areas that have.already been excavated,such;as existing road
beds and existing culverts. Repaving is described as"shave and pave"because the surface.asphalt is shaved
down less tha-n,6 inches and replaced;curb cuts generally less than a foot. The intent.of the project is toreturn
the.selected roads to their original working condition: No expansion of excavations is anticipated for this
project;our purpose is mainly to repair the pavement and add ADA ramps.
Seward grew:from a small homestead in the late 19th century to a.major port and railway hub in the 20`h century
during a time where technology and government practices left a great deal of available documentation; it
appears that our project would occur on the streetsmuch as platted by Anderson;as such,the roads in the city
have been consistent for more than 100 years,and our repaving will affect perhaps the top three inches of
existing.road. It is highly unlikely that our project would uncover undisturbed archaeological deposits.
2.The.Commission recommends a plan be developed and implemented to stop work and document any
unexpected archaeological resources inthe unexpectedevent of their encounter during the project.
The provision is standard in DOT contracts for archaeological discoveries and hunian remains.discaveries.
Three appendices(F,G, and H)in our current programmatic agreement with the State Historic Preservation
Officer,Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and Federal Highway Administration outline these
responsibilities;T have attached these for your review.
3. The Commission recommends the following actions to mitigate the potential adverse effects of the
project:
(a)The cost of public educational materials be added to the project. These could lie either
interpretive signage or a digital app.
DOT&PF is not.in a position to mitigate"potential adverse effects." The purpose of the consultation we
conduct for historic properties (including archaeological and.historic era properties) is to aid in the
identification.of significant properties and assess them and our project to determine if there are indeed
properties and effects;if there are adverse effects we begin a consultation process to mitigate these effects, I
believe it is highly unlikely this project will have adverse'effects to any historic properties including subsurface
deposits.
In this case we identified the paving of Oak and Ash streets as having,the potential to affect the viewshed. 'We
then identified structures along that right of way that were more than 50 years of age and assessed,them
according to Preservation Bulletin 1.5 (https://www.nps_gov/nr/publications/bulletins/nrb151)and found them
ineligible for listing on the National Register of Historic places due to.extensive structural modifications since
their construction. Repaving,repair to as built'conditions and installation of federally mandated curb ramps

Archaeoligical Monitoring and Discovery Plan
7
Purpose and Scope:
Thisdescribes the general procedures to be followed during archaeological monitoring, and
the protocol for coordination inthe event of inadvertent discovery of cultural.resources: for
projects whichhave not addressed such procedures"through.a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA). These procedures apply to all Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).Federal-
Aid Highway Program (FAHP):projects and 23 U.S.C. 326 assigned projects(6004 Program)
where the DOT&PF.has assumed Section 106 responsibilities.
Professional Qualifications;
Work under the terms of the Archaeological Monitoring and the Discover Plan is to be
carried out by or under the:direct supervision of a person or persons meeting. at a minimum
the Secretary of the.Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeologists (48
FR44738-447:39).
I. Archaeological Monitoring: Archaeological monitoring is the stationing of an
archaeologist On a construction site to watch for evidence of.archaeological remains as
the construction proceeds. Certain projects will commit to archaeol:gcal construction
monitoring because the Section 106 process has indicated that there.is high potential to
impact:buried.cultural resources material or probabili:y to encounter human remains;the
project is planned in or near recorded archaeological sites; or there isphased
identification and evaluation of properties. Monitoring requirements are generally
implemented during subsurface,ground disturbing activities.
A. On-Site.Responsibilities:
1. The Archaeological Monitor will follow provisions of a monitoring plan for the
project developed in consultation with the DOT&PF, (and the FHWA for non-
6004 Program Projects),and the SHPO that is consistent with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Documentation (48 FR
44734-44737), the Alaska Office of History and Archaeology's Standards and
Guidelines for investigating and reporting arcihaeological and historic properties
in Alaska (Historic Preservation Series Number 11), and Monitoring Guidelines
(Historic Preservation Series Number 15).
2. The Archaeological Monitor(s) will conduct on-site monitoring of ground-
disturbing activities that extend into cultural resource sensitive areas identified
through Section 106 consultation for the project. The Archaeological Monitor(s)
will remain on-site in the delineated areas unless the supervising Archaeological
Monitor determines after field observations and consultation with the Section 106
consulting parties identified in the monitoring plan that monitoring is not
necessary.

*';l•. f�" ,°"e�.f3 S t e 9;1 r. x'jt + has. ;
3. The on-site supervising Archaeological Monitor is authorized to halt construction
in a specific location if any previously unidentified cultural resources are
encountered during earth-moving activities.
S. Pre-construction Meeting:
1. Before work begins on the project, the D.OT&PF Project Engineer, the D.OT&PF
Professionally Qualified Individual (PQI), and the Archaeological••Monitor(s)will
conduct a pre-construction meeting with the Construction Contractor to explain
any Section 106 terms or conditions for the project and the procedures to follow if
archaeological materials are found, as well as the role of the Archaeological
Monitor.
2. The POI will provide the meeting participants with contact information'for the
following in case of cultural resources.discovery notifications;
• DOT&PF Project Engineer, PQI, and Regional Environmental Manager
(REM)
• State Historic Preservation Officer(SHPO)
• :Local Tribes
• State'Troopers and State Medical.Examiner(SME)
• For non-6004 Program Projects, the FHWA Regional Area Engineer; or
• For 6004 Program Projects, the DOT&PF:Statewide Environmental Office
(SEO)NEPA Program Manager.
C. Reporting Requirements:
]. Weekly Monitoring Memos: The Archaeological Monitor will provide a summary
construction monitoring memo on a weekly basis to the DOT&PF Project
Engineer and the PQI. The PQI,will submit a copy of the memo to the SHPO and
other consulting parties as identified in the Monitoring Plan.
2. Summary Monitoring Report: When the construction monitoringis complete,the
Archaeological Monitor will provide to the Project Engineer and PQI draft and
final summary reports detailing the.construction monitoring activities. The report
is to meet contemporary professional standards and the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Documentation (FR Vol. 48, No.
19Q, pp. 44734-44737). The PQI will provide the summary report to SHPO and
• other consulting parties as identified in the Monitoring Plan.
JII.
Discovery Plan: Late discoveries are almost always archaeological. This outlines the
procedures to follow if cultural resources are discovered after the Section 1.06 process has
been completed or if unanticipated effects to historic properties occur during project
construction.
A. On-Site Responsibilities:
1. Step 1: Stop Work at a Discovery Site. If a cultural resource is uncovered during
the project, all work adjacent to the discovery must stop. The discovery site is to
be secured by the Contractor. If human remains are encountered, treat them with
FHWA Alaska Division Section 106 Programmatic Agreement Appendix F September 2014 .Page:2 of 4
35
dignity and respect, and follow the protocols outlined in Appendix 1-I (DOT&PF
Procedures and State and Federal Laws Pertaining to the Discovery of Human
Remains).
2. Step 2: Notes the DOT&PF.Project Engineer, PQI, and Archaeological Monitor
(if.any). If the Project Engineer cannot be reached, contact the PQI (or REM). If
there is a monitoring plan in place, the Archaeological Monitor will follow its
provisions._ The supervising Archaeological Monitor is authorized to halt
construction ina specific, location, or to redirect work to Other locations while
• recovering previously unidentified cultural resources, The DOT&PF staff will
make allother calls and notifications.
B. DOT&PF Project Engineer Responsibilities at the time of Discovery:
L. Discovery Site: The Project Engineer is responsible for-taking appropriate steps
to protect the discovery site. All work will stop in an area adequate to provide for
the security, protection, and integrity of the cultural resource. Vehicles,
equipment, and unauthorized personnel will not be permittedto traverse the
discovery site.
2. .Direct Construction Elsewhere,from Discovery Site: .The Project Engineer may
direct construction away from cultural resources to Work in other areas prior to
contacting the discovery notification consulting parties:
3. Contact the PQI(Or.REM): If the PQI (or REM) has not yet been contacted, the
Project Engineer will do so.
'C. DOT&PF PQI and REM Responsibilities at the time of Discovery:
1. Idents Discovery: The PQI will coordinate with the Project.Engineer to ensure
thata qualified professional archaeologist examines the discovery to determine if
it is a cultural resource.
a. If it is determined to not be a cultural resource, work may proceed with no
further delay.
b. If it is determined to be a cultural resource and/or if the discovery includes
human ietnains,the PQI will continue with consulting party notifications. For
human remains, the procedures described in Appendix I-1 (DOT&PF
Procedures and State and:Federal Laws Pertaining to the Discovery of Human
Remains)will be followed.
2. Notify the FHWA Regional Area Engineer (or the DOT&PF Statewide
Environrnental Office [SEM NEPA Program .Manager .far 15004 Program
Projects), the SHPO, Tribes, and other consulting parties as appropriate: The
PQI (or'REM) will be responsible to contact these parties within 48 hours of the
discovery in accordance with 36 CFR 800.13.
D. Documentation of Cultural Resource Materials:
I. The PQI will be the DOT&PF point of contact for consultation with the FHWA,
the SHPO, Tribes, and other consulting parties as appropriate to ensure that the
previously unidentified resource or unanticipated effect is evaluated, and an
appropriate treatment plan is developed.
FHWA Alaska Division Section 106 Programmatic Agreement Appendix F September 2014 Page 3 of 4
(12
2. Evaluation: if the project is not already using an Archaeological Monitor, the
Project Engineer, the PQ1, and the Contractor will coordinate to procure
archaeological services.
a. As a streamlining measure,. after a qualified archaeologist confirms that the
find is cultural and establishes the boundaries of-the discovery site, the PQI
may assume an archaeological resource is eligible for inclusion in the
. National Register of Historic Places(National Register)under.Criterion D.
'b. Alternatively, if the find is confirmed as:cultural,the PQI may opt to have the
cultural resource formally assessed for eligibility to, the National Register
using established National Register criteria (36 .CFR 800:4(c)) and will
provide the National Register evaluation.report to the SH.PO,Tribes,and other
. consulting parties as. appropriate. The PQI will determine National Register
eligibility in consultation with the SHPO and Tribes.
3. For properties deemed to be eligible for the National Register, the PQI.will apply
the criteria of adverse effect(36 CFR 800.5) in consultation with the SHPO and
the Tribes.
4, Any treatment plan resulting'from the discovery will be developed in consultation
with,the FHWA .(or the PQI for 6004 Program;Projects), SHPO and Tribes. The
PQI will coordinate with the Project Engineer and the Construction Contractor to
ensure:that the treatment plan is implemented. '
a.. Should data recovery be required by the plan, it will be implemented prior to
any continued construction at the discovery site. The PQI will provide the
data recovery report to the SHPO and Tribes.
b. All artifacts,.faunal remains, and related materials recovered on State land as
well as associated field notes,shall remain the property of the:State ofAlaska.
Materials recovered on land not owned by the State shall 'remain the property
of the land owner or managing entity. Materials•owned by the State of Alaska
shall be accessioned to the University of Alaska Museum of the North in
Fairbanks.
5. All documentation, testing and treatment plan, evaluation, data recovery, and
reporting of cultural resource materials as described for these procedures will
follow and meet the contemporary professional standards.and the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation
(48 FR 44716).
E. Proceeding with Construction:-
1. Project construction outside the discovery site may continue as directed by the
Project Engineer and the. Construction Contractor while documentation and
assessment of the cultural resources at the discovery site proceeds.
2. When the PQI ensures that recovery of cultural resource materials as outlined
above is satisfied and complete, and the PQI determines that.compliance with
State and federal laws is complete,the Project Engineer may allow construction at
the discovery site to resume.
