SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

the Wisconsin Historical Society, 

Madison, WI. The human remains were 

removed from the Sikora Burial Site and 

an unknown location near Antigo in 

Langlade County, WI. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d). 

The determinations in this notice are 

the sole responsibility of the museum, 

institution, or Federal agency that has 

control of the Native American human 

remains. The National Park Service is 

not responsible for the determinations 

in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the Wisconsin 

Historical Society professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Forest County Potawatomi Community, 

Wisconsin; Ho-Chunk Nation of 

Wisconsin; Lac du Flambeau Band of 

Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of the 

Lac du Flambeau Reservation of 

Wisconsin; Menominee Indian Tribe of 

Wisconsin; and the Upper Sioux 

Community, Minnesota. 

History and Description of the Remains 

In August of 1991, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

Sikora Burial Site (47–LG–0115) in 

Langlade County, WI. The human 

remains of one adult male were found 

during basement construction for a 

cottage on the southern shore of Rolling 

Stone Lake in the Township of 

Ainsworth. No associated funerary 

objects were recovered. The 

homeowners contacted the Antigo 

Police Department the same day as the 

discovery, and the police subsequently 

contacted the Wisconsin Burial Site 

Preservation Office. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

At an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, five 

individuals were removed from an 

unknown location near Antigo in 

Langlade County, WI. It is not known 

who removed the human remains, who 

donated them to the Wisconsin 

Historical Society, or when they were 

donated. In 1996, the human remains 

were discovered in a box labeled 

‘‘unaccessioned calvarium and 

representative parts of three mandibles, 

mound near Antigo, Langlade Co., 

Wisconsin.’’ They were later determined 

to represent two adults, two children, 

and a young adult. No known 

individuals were identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present.

Historical Society

Background: The USIBWC is 

considering constructing sediment 

control projects at Thurman I and II, two 

ephemeral tributaries of the Rio Grande, 

located within a portion of the Rio 

Grande Canalization Project protective 

levee system in Hatch, Don ̃ a Ana 

County, New Mexico. The USIBWC has 

the statutory authority to maintain the 

Rio Grande (Act of June 4, 1936, 49 Stat. 

1463, Pub. L. 648 and 22 United States 

Code 277). USIBWC commissioned a 

study in 2015 that recommended 

sediment control structures be built on 

Thurman I and II arroyos, among others, 

to trap sediment and assist in the 

maintenance of the Rio Grande. 

The purpose is to construct sediment 

control structures on Thurman I and II 

arroyos with the following objectives: 

(1) Control the inflow of sediment 

into the Rio Grande mainstem, 

(2) Conduct a pilot study for channel 

maintenance alternatives, and 

(3) Be accessible for maintenance and 

minimize operational costs. 

This EA evaluates potential 

environmental impacts of the No Action 

Alternative and two alternatives. The 

Alternative A: No Action—Routine 

Sediment Excavation does not call for 

any construction but would require 

continued routine sediment excavation 

at the confluence of the arroyos and the 

Rio Grande. Alternative B: Mesh-Based 

Sediment Traps proposes to construct 

mesh and rebar sediment traps where 

each mesh would trap progressively 

smaller sediment particles. Alternative 

C: Sediment Basins is the Preferred 

Alternative, and calls for the 

construction of a sediment basin at each 

arroyo with a concrete end wall. Permits 

would be required from the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers for dredge and fill of 

Waters of the United States, per the 

Clean Water Act Sections 404 and 401. 

Potential impacts on natural, cultural, 

and other resources were evaluated. 

Mitigation has been proposed for 

permits for construction. A Finding of 

No Significant Impact has been 

prepared for the Preferred Alternative 

based on a review of the facts and 

analyses contained in the EA.
