1.4.7 The Engineer will conduct a reconnaissance level survey conforming to the methodology outlined in the THC-approved Research Design, along the Project area. The purpose of the survey is to identify the historic resources that are potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP. Such properties will require more intensive survey efforts in order to make a final determination of their eligibility status. The Engineer will systematically examine the Project area for the existence of any pre-1950 properties. If a resource lies outside the APE, but has lands associated with it within the project area, the Engineer will include it within the reconnaissance survey. The Engineer will photograph all historic properties in color and will assess their integrity on-site. The Engineer will compile data for the preparation of an inventory including site number; address or location; description of property; approximate date; property type, property sub-type; stylistic influence or typology (for vernacular resources); and level of historic integrity. The Engineer will record all sites on a map in the field. 1.4.8 Prepare a final report not to exceed five pages, excluding photographs, maps, and other supporting documentation. The report will include a brief overview of the results of the reconnaissance survey, an inventory of historic resources requiring no additional survey efforts in order to finalize determinations of NRHP eligibility in accordance with 36 CFR 60, and an inventory of historic resources requiring additional intensive survey efforts in order to finalize determinations of NRHP eligibility in accordance with 36 CFR 60. This report will include: a) A table with a list of the resources locations/addresses, property type and subtype classification, stylistic influences, construction dates, integrity issues, and preliminary eligibility recommendations; b) Photographic documentation of each historic resource sufficient in number and perspective to satisfy THC documentation requirements (except under circumstances beyond the investigators control). For structures, at a minimum, this will include an oblique view of the primary facade and a side elevation for each resource, with the subject filling the frame. For Texas Historical Markers or monuments, this will include a front view with legible text. All photographs shall be 3.5" x 5" color representations printed on matte finish photographic paper. All photographs shall be well focused and clearly depict architectural and other details relevant to an evaluation of the resource's character-defining features; c) Aerial photographs or USGS 7.5' topographic maps showing the location of each historic resource and the boundaries of the APE. The Engineer will clearly mark major street names and other directional landmarks on the map; and d) For those historic resources requiring additional intensive survey efforts as identified in the reconnaissance survey, the Engineer will propose changes to the Research Design in accordance with 36 CFR 60, to finalize determinations of NRHP eligibility. These may include more research into contextual setting, further comparison of property information, filling of data gaps, and other items necessary to finalize the evaluation and documentation phases of the project in accordance with the SOI Standards.
