1.0 INTRODUCTION

The intent of this document is to provide CLIENT (CLIENT SHORT FORM) and itscontractors with guidelines for the appropriate response to the discovery of eitherdisturbed or intact archaeological materials during construction in situations when it hasbeen determined that an archaeological monitor was not required on site.

This Chance Finds Management Plan is part of on-going archaeological servicesprovided by Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder). The objectives of this document are toprovide protocols that will minimize disruption to construction scheduling whilepromoting the preservation of archaeological data. Below are details of the suggestedstep-by-step emergency response procedure. Basic archaeological site identificationcriteria are provided in Appendix I. The Archaeology Branch’s Found Human Remainspolicy is located in Appendix II.

1.1 Location of Development

1.2 Proposed Development

DESCRIBE DEVELOPMENTT ACTIVITES

Many of the activities described above have the potential to disturb or alter as-yetunrecorded archaeological sites within the project. All users of this document arereminded that archaeological sites located on Provincial Crown or private land thatpredate or are assumed to predate AD 1846 are automatically protected under theHeritage Conservation Act (HCA) (1996, RSBC Chap. 187). Specific sites, includingburials and rock art sites, are protected regardless of age.

2.0 BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND DATA AND ESTIMATE OF POTENTIAL

3.0 GENERAL EMERGENCY IMPACT MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

The following emergency impact management guidelines refer to heritage andarchaeological sites. Emergency management procedures for suspected humanburial sites are presented separately below. The contractor should also be familiarwith the attached Archaeology Branch Policy Statement regarding human remains,recognizing that the appropriate course of action may differ depending on whether or notthe remains are found in an undisputed archaeological context (i.e., with artifacts).

3.1 Emergency Impact Management Guidelines for Intact or DisturbedArchaeological Deposits

3.1.1 Initial Response by Contractor

Step 1: Immediately stop construction in the vicinity of the archaeological site.

Step 2: Contact the project archaeologist for further guidance (see attached sheetfor contact information).

Step 3: Golder will advise on further action.

3.1.2 Initial Action

Depending on the nature of the situation, one of the following responses are likely:

Based on a telephone description of the incident, it may be decided that there areno further concerns, allowing construction to continue as planned.

A field visit by an archaeologist may be recommended. In this case, Golder willnotify CLIENT and First Nations organizations. A suitable response will beestablished in consultation with all interested parties. It may be possible forconstruction to continue at another location at this time.

3.1.3 Management Options

In consultation with Golder, CLIENT and First Nations the following options should beconsidered when deciding on how to proceed:

Option 1: Avoidance through partial or complete project redesign or relocation.This ensures minimal impact to the archaeological site and is the preferredoption from a cultural resource management perspective. When feasible, itcan also be the least expensive option from a construction perspective.

Option 2: Emergency archaeological excavation, if necessary. This “data recovery”option is site destructive and it can delay construction. Consequently,emergency excavation is not a preferred option.

Option 3: Application of site protection measures, such as erecting fencingor barricades to protect the site, or capping the site area with fill.Appropriate protection measures should be identified on a site-specificbasis.

3.2 Emergency Impact Management for Burial Sites

3.2.1 Initial Response by Environmental Monitor

If definite or possible human remains are encountered:

Step 1: Immediately stop construction in the vicinity of the remains.

Step 2: Contact the project archaeologist for further guidance (see attached sheetfor contact information).

Step 3: Golder will advise on further action.

3.2.2 Initial Action

Golder will notify CLIENT, First Nations and the RCMP.

Golder or the RCMP will contact the Office of the Coroner if the remains are notclearly archaeological.

An archaeologist and/or physical anthropologist will visit the site as soon aspossible and a First Nations representative(s) will be invited to attend.

If it is determined that the remains are archaeological, negotiations will follow toestablish an appropriate procedure for handling the remains.

3.2.3 Management Options

An appropriate protocol for handling human remains will require consultation with localFirst Nations communities. A human remains protocol should be established prior tocommencement of construction. Two possible strategies are suggested below, but otherscould be considered. General consistency with provincial guidelines is encouraged.

Option 1: Avoidance through partial or complete project redesign or relocation.This would ensure that the remains are protected from further disturbance.

Option 2: Salvage or emergency excavation to respectfully remove the remains forreburial in a location chosen by local First Nations.

The contractor should be aware that removal of human remains and subsequent reburialmight involve certain ceremonies or procedures that could delay construction.

GUIDELINES FOR EMERGENCY IMPACT MANAGEMENT:ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES

This document provides guidance in the event that archaeological or burial sites areaccidentally uncovered during construction that is not monitored by an archaeologist.The objectives are to minimize disruptions to construction while promoting thepreservation of archaeological sites.

A recommended step-by-step emergency response procedure is outlined below.Following this are supporting details outlining basic archeological site identificationand contractor responsibilities. This plan is consistent with the British ColumbiaHeritage Conservation Act.

DEFINITIONS

Archaeological Site: A location with physical evidence of past human occupation or use.

Burial Site: A location containing complete or fragmented human remains.

SITE RECOGNITION CRITERIA

Archaeological sites have been identified in the project area. The following lists a fewcommon criteria that may signal the presence of an archaeological or burial site. The listis not exhaustive, but it includes the most common site indictors that may be encounteredin the project area.

Archaeological Sites

Artifacts - primarily stone tools but also include pieces of worked shell, bone orantler. Stone tools may include formed implements, such as arrow heads, or scattersof flaked stone. Be aware of concentrations of stone that is not native to the area.

Buried hearths (represented by localized dense concentrations of charcoal and/or ash.Note that there is a natural layer of volcanic ash in the project area)

Concentrations of animal bone, particularly if burnt Remains of structural features such as housepit depressions, cache pits, post holes

Burial Places

Human bone

Golder Associates

Artifact or Artifact Scatter

Portable object(s) manufactured or modified by human beings. These items may includechipped or ground stone objects, or implements made from bone and antler(Photographs 1 to 8). Look for: obviously formed stone objects or pieces of stone thathave been chipped and/or ground in a non-natural way. Bone and antler artifactswill exhibit obvious modification (i.e., cutting, shaping, incision, etc.).

Fire Cracked Rock (FCR)

Heat fractured stone that result from rapid or alternate heating and cooling as in stoneboiling or in campfires. FCR is typically associated with resource processing and/or foodpreparation. Look for: concentrations of fractured pebbles with signs of being burntin a fire often associated with ash and charcoal (Photograph 9).

Human Remains

Look for: articulated or isolated bones or bone fragments.
