Right-of-way Engineering has been ongoing since September to prepare necessary legal descriptions and plats for conveyance of land title rights for the affected parcels. Proposed right-of-way staking and remaining geotechnical work will be completed after fall harvest. We anticipate that appraising will start in late October or early November.

As part of the project an archaeological reconnaissance was completed early June completed. This consisted of systematic sampling of the project area to look for things people have made, used, or left behind. All archaeology investigations were conducted in accordance and compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation (48 CFR 44716), the current version of the Guidebook: Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory – Archaeological Sites issued by the Indiana DNR Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (2019), and recent amendments to the Indiana Historic Preservation Law (IC 14-21-1). Additionally the field work, laboratory analysis, and preparation of the final report and recommendations was accomplished or directly supervised by a professional archaeologist meeting the standards set forth in 36 CFR 61 of the National Preservation Act and 312-IAC-21 of the Indiana Administrative Code. Please note that archaeology reports are environmentally sensitive data and, per state and federal regulations, cannot be distributed, discussed, or viewed by the general public.
