PROJECT DESCRIPTION

IDL RFQ 26-235-021001

GNA Wetfoot Heritage Survey

Location: The Boise National Forest (BNF) plans to implement a vegetation

management project on the Emmett Ranger District. The Wet Foot (BS-26-3493)

Project includes vegetation and fuels treatments—such as commercial and non-

commercial thinning and pile and broadcast burning— to address hazardous fuels

to counter catastrophic wildfire risk, respond to insect and disease outbreaks,

while promoting healthy and resilient forests and watersheds.

Wet Foot Project / BS-26-3492: The Wet Foot project is located within the Middle

Fork Payette River watershed, entirely within Valley County. Major drainages of

the project area include the Boiling Springs Watershed of the Middle Fork Payette

River Subbasin. The major streams in the area are the Middle Fork Payette River

and its tributaries, Sixmile, West Fork, Wet Foot, Bridge, and Lake Creeks.

The project encompasses approximately 28,100 acres. Nineteen proposed survey

units have been identified within the Wet Foot Project Boundary totaling 1,069

acres. Eleven total sites are located within the Wet Foot Project boundary. Seven

of these sites are eligible/unevaluated for inclusion on the NRHP. The site types

associated with these include lithic scatters and a historic guard station. Ineligible

site types include lithic scatters, lithic isolates, and a historic guard station

footprint. All but one of the eligible/unevaluated sites were visited in the 2022 field

season and updated. One previously recorded site (BS-1739/10VY1108) needs to

be visited and documentation updated as a part of this contract.

Background: This work is being carried out by the Idaho Department of Lands on

behalf of the Boise National Forest under the Good Neighbor Authority (GNA). The

intent of this project is to conduct surveys for cultural resources within the project

areas this field season. Specific project actions within this area are currently being

refined. Identified tasks entail surveying areas of potential effect that have been

identified as high or moderate probability for site occurrence, recording newly

discovered and previously discovered archaeological resources, and synthesizing a

complete and coherent Section 106 report – including all updated site forms – of

the annually submitted Project Area for submission to the Idaho State Historic

Preservation Office (SHPO). The contractor shall be responsible for inputting all

collected and synthesized data into the ICRIS platform after final Forest review for

submission to the Idaho State Preservation Office.

Lands surrounding the project areas have a moderate density of cultural resource

sites. Site types predominately include historic mining (both Euro-American and

Chinese cultural affiliation), historic homesteading and ranching, Forest Service

administration, historic roads and trails, Native American travel routes, and

discrete Native American sites.

This work described herein is intended to collect data to describe existing resource

conditions and to use it to determine the environmental impacts of proposed

activities on the Forest. The resource information will be used to refine proposed

actions and demonstrate consistency with relevant laws, rules and regulations.

These projects will be consistent with all the requirements of the Good Neighbor

Authority.

This document is arranged into the following sections:

SCOPE

To fulfill the requirements of this contract, the Contractor shall complete the tasks

listed below to collect and summarize data, and to write a Section 106 report in

support of a forthcoming NEPA analysis. The Contractor will not be responsible for

contributions to the NEPA document itself. Contractor shall be responsible for the

professional and technical accuracy of all work or services rendered. Errors and/or
