description: The project consists of the replacement of improvements to a storm drainage system and catch basins. Ground disturbance within the APE consisted of the excavation of trenches and pits of various lengths, widths, and depths. Excavation was conducted mechanically with backhoes and by hand with shovels and picks. All ground-disturbing activities within the project site and 250 ft. of its boundaries were monitored. The project was conducted under the direction of Mark Chenault (project manager) and Michael Stubing (project director). Monitoring was conducted by Lisa Champagne, Erik Steinbach, and Jewel Touchin from May 27 to August 21, 2015; a total of 56 person days were spent monitoring the project. Three historic trash pits and one isolated historic glass bottle were found and recorded during monitoring.
