**APPENDIX           C          Examples of "Charges" to Peer Review Team**

**Central           Arizona Project Charge** The Central Arizona Project archeological program           is currently the largest archeological rescue project in the land. Its           completion will take several more years of field work, analysis, and           report writing. The object of the review of the program you are about           to undertake is to assess the project at the level of detail you deem           appropriate in order to provide a written report to the Departmental           Consulting Archeologist and the Bureau of Reclamation. We want to know           the weaknesses as well as the strengths of the program. We want you           to know that we will seriously consider all of the recommendations the           team may make to improve the program. Consequently, no aspect of the           program is off-limits to your review. You have already been provided           with a weighty set of documents related to the program and over the           next couple of days you will have the opportunity to meet with Bureau           of Reclamation personnel, several contractors, representatives of the           State Historic Preservation Officers and the Advisory Council on Historic           Preservation. We have developed a list of topics in which we think that           you will be interested. Some of these topics are covered in the documents           we have provided. Today and tomorrow we, and others, will provide you           with additional information as your review progresses. Additionally,           we have prepared a suggested outline for your report. Hopefully the           efforts we have put forth will make your job easier and your work efficient.           In closing we want to emphasize that your review of the project is to           be thorough and comprehensive. Be assured that we are here to provide           you with the facts and the contexts in which the program has been developed           and managed. 

**Carson           Desert Archeological Peer Review Charge** The objective of the review of the program you           are about to undertake is to assess the project at the level of detail           you deem appropriate in order to provide a written report to the Departmental           Consulting Archeologist. We want to know the weaknesses as well as the           strengths of the program. We want you to know that we will seriously           consider all of the recommendations the team may make to improve the           program. Consequently, no aspect of the program is off-limits to your           review. You have already been provided with a weighty set of documents           related to the program and over the next couple of days you will have           the opportunity to meet with interested individuals and organizational           personnel from the Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation,           Bureau of Land Management, Nevada State Museum, Fallon Paiute-Shoshone           Tribe, Anthropology Department University of Reno, Intermountain Research,           Churchill County Museum and Archives, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation,           and the State Historic Preservation Officer. 

We have developed a list of topics which we suggest           that you review. Some of these topics are covered in the documents we           have provided. Additionally, we have prepared a suggested outline for           the report. Hopefully the efforts we have put forth will make your job           easier and your work efficient. 

I would like to emphasize that your review of the project           is to be thorough and comprehensive and is not restricted to the suggested           topics if the team determines that other matters are pertinent. Be assured           that we are here to provide you with the facts and the context in which           the program has been developed and managed. 

We expect a formal written report of the Peer Review           Team. This report will constitute the Peer Review Team's official findings           and recommendations. The following outline is offered only as guidance           to the Peer Review Team. The Peer Review Team may develop its own report           format but we expect that it will provide objective criteria and your           evaluation of them by which the program can be judged in respect to           its aims, costs, productivity, quality, etc.
