PROJECT BACKGROUND AND UNDERSTANDING
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a project to improve the Bob Baker Memorial Airport (Kiana Airport) in Kiana, Alaska. The Village of Kiana is located 47 miles east of Kotzebue in Alaska’s Northwest Arctic Borough on the north bank of the Kobuk River. The airport is adjacent to the community at the approximate coordinates of 66.975 North Latitude and -160.423 West Longitude. The project area includes Sections 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9, Township 18 North, Range 8 West, and Sections 31 and 32, Township 19 North, Range 8 West, Kateel River Meridian, as shown in Figure 1.
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve safety and efficiency at the Kiana airport. Due to the shallow nature of the Kobuk River which hinders barge transport, Kiana is typically supplied solely by air freight making the airport essential to the community. The runway’s current 3,400 foot length limits aircraft cargo, so DC-6 aircraft can only land partially loaded. In addition, the existing runway’s deteriorating surface causes operational problems that result in frequent closures during the spring breakup due to soft conditions from poor drainage. The airport apron is often congested during the summer, and is too close to the runway centerline to meet FAA airspace safety standards. The proposed project at the Kiana airport is designed to remedy these deficiencies as much as possible by extending and resurfacing the runway, relocating the apron, improving drainage, and replacing the existing runway lighting.
DOT&PF and FAA are currently evaluating one build alternative that would provide the most effective solution for meeting the stated safety and efficiency needs (Figure 2). The Proposed Action includes the following improvements: • Runway Expansion: The existing 3,400 foot runway would be extended to 4,000 feet to enable heavy cargo flight access and increase the efficiency of those deliveries. • Runway Resurfacing: The existing gravel runway would be graded and resurfaced to create safer conditions for takeoffs and landings as well as allow for year-round operations without a seasonal closure. • Apron Relocation: The existing apron would be relocated south and west of its current location and be set back further away from active airspace. The aircraft parking setback would be improved to no longer penetrate the runway Object Free Area (OFA) or Part 77 Transitional Surface and meet FAA safety standards. Property Acquisition would be required as part of the proposed improvements for the parking apron. • Drainage Improvements: Drainage would be improved by replacing culverts, reestablish the drainage ditch along the north side of the runway and grading the runway to drain as needed. Improving drainage around the runway would allow for a stable runway surface and minimize future deterioration of the runway due to saturated embankments. These improvements would allow year-round airport use. • Material Site and Proposed Winter Haul Route Development: The Proposed Action would extract fill material from an undeveloped site approximately 2.8 miles northwest of the Kiana airport. The proposed materials haul route would use an existing road to the sewage lagoon for the initial 0.5 miles and then follow the existing trails as a potential winter haul route for the remainder of the distance.
Other proposed actions include providing dust control to alleviate health issues, and completing other improvements as funds allow.
The proposed study area for the Kiana Airport Improvements project includes the footprints of the runway expansion, apron relocation, and drainage improvement areas along the north, south and west sides of the existing airport, as well as the footprints of a material site and proposed winter haul route (Figure 2). A broader study area of 1 mile around the project area would be investigated through archival research to help establish the probability of inadvertent subsurface discoveries during construction and a context for evaluating any archaeological, historic, or heritage resources that may be discovered during pre-construction cultural resource studies.

Contractor Cultural Resource Team SWCA Environmental Consultants has established an organizational structure for the completion of the cultural resources work associated with the Kiana Airport Improvements project. Robert Kopperl, Ph.D. RPA, will serve as the Principal Investigator (PI) for the project and will oversee all field efforts and technical reporting. Ross Smith, M.A. RPA will conduct the cultural resource field studies. Management of all cultural resource data will be maintained in the Seattle and Portland offices by Robert Kopperl and Ross Smith. The technical report will be compiled in the Seattle office and will undergo review by the project PI for technical and scientific competence and to fully meet Section 106 compliance.
RESEARCH DESIGN – APPROACH TO FIELD STUDIES
The research design will guide the efforts for the identification and documentation of cultural resources for the Kiana Airport Improvements Project. SWCA has started a review of relevant historic and archaeological literature and begun to develop a regional and local cultural context for the project area. The results of the preliminary investigations were used to design the methodological approach to the field inventory, which includes pedestrian survey, limited subsurface testing (for site identification only), and historic property Determination of Eligibility assessments. The following discussion explains how the literature review will be completed, how field efforts will be conducted for archaeological resources, and how SWCA will proceed with technical reporting and NRHP evaluations. In order to conduct accurate field studies and document cultural resources in the project area, the field crew will be equipped with hand-held GPS units, digital cameras, soil probes/augers/shovels, and sifting screens. No surface artifact collection is anticipated during the proposed work; however if artifacts are encountered in shovel probes they will be recorded in the field and reburied in the shovel probe of origin. All shovel probe locations will be recorded using a GPS and can be relocated in the future should land owners or managers decide to revisit these units.
Area of Potential Effect (APE) Section 106 consultation is ongoing and the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the Kiana Airport Improvements Project will be defined after comments are received from the consulting parties.
Literature Review and Files Search SWCA has completed a file search with the Alaska OHA for areas within one mile of the proposed study area and is conducting an ongoing review of other relevant literature. The literature review is based on existing cultural resource site and survey data, technical reports, and publications and will be used describe the cultural context of the study area. Relevant sources of information that were reviewed included the Alaska OHA geospatial database and the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS) records, additional sources may include aerial photographs, historical and recent maps, soil surveys, General Land Office (GLO) records, regional historic compilations and oral histories, and other sources of information which can aid in gaining a general understanding of the community's layout and environment at different times in its history. The literature review and file search will be used to gauge the nature of and potential for discovery of various types of resources.

Archaeological Field Inventory Methods The archaeological resources survey will include visual inspection of the ground surface for cultural material or features that appear to be greater than 45 years old within the project’s direct footprint. If no archaeological resources are identified on the ground surface, shovel probes will be placed as needed (using professional judgment) to investigate subsurface sediments for cultural materials. If cultural materials or features are identified, archaeologists will define the site or isolate boundaries based on the extent of subsurface or visible cultural materials. Artifacts or features will be temporarily flagged and archaeologists will systematically survey the surrounding area to define the boundaries. All temporally diagnostic artifacts and features within the boundary will be recorded using standardized field forms. Attributes may include, but are not limited to, material type, size (length, width, thickness), weight, evidence of use, and condition. If artifacts are identified in shovel probes, the archaeologist will provide detailed descriptions of depositional context, including, but not limited to sediment grain size, color and other attributes useful for inferring the depositional history of the site and landform. Artifacts encountered in shovel probes will described, photographed, placed in labeled plastic bags and reburied in the shovel probe. All shovel probe locations will be mapped with hand-held GPS units capable of sub-meter accuracy to allow relocation and collection if it is deemed appropriate by the land owner or manager. Artifacts and features will be mapped using a GPS. Natural and man- made features will be drawn to scale and labeled on field sketch maps. All maps and drawings will contain a legend, temporary datum, north arrow, and scale bar. Compass bearings will reflect the regions current declination and will be included on all maps produced in the field. High quality digital photographs will record diagnostic artifacts, the spatial arrangement of artifacts and features, and site or isolate overview photographs taken from a minimum of two cardinal directions.
Following current professional standards, initial assessment of the eligibility for listing in the NRHP of all sites within the survey area will be based on surface evidence. In some cases, the surface evidence may be inadequate to define the site boundary or assess the potential of the site to provide data important to answering questions about the prehistory or history of the region. SWCA may conduct minimally invasive shovel probing as needed to determine a site’s potential for inclusion in the NRHP.
The literature review and files search shows at least three archaeological sites and seven historic properties/sites, including an historic cemetery, marked graves and the contemporary Kiana Cemetery within one mile of the study area (Table 1). A cultural resources survey was conducted in the late 1970s prior to an airport expansion project and at least 24 archaeological surveys have been conducted by archaeologists employed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and CRM consulting companies between 1980 and 2010 within the city limits and in parcels immediately east and north of the airport (Table 2). No archaeological sites or historic properties have been identified within the proposed study area.

Site Assessment SWCA evaluates site significance following the criteria set forth in Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations 60.4. The criteria specified in 36 CFR 60.4 are as follows:
The quality of significance in America history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
A) That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or
B) That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
C) That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
D) That has yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history.
In the absence of structures or association with known significant events or persons, pre-contact and historic archaeological sites and components generally fall in the category of properties that may be important for their potential to yield information significant to history or the archaeological record under NRHP Criterion D. Evaluation of the significance of archaeological sites considers general characteristics such as the nature, size, and diversity of the site assemblage; the potential presence or absence of subsurface cultural deposits; the nature of any features within the site (construction techniques, building materials, structural integrity); and the age range reflected by the site assemblage. Sites considered to be significant generally contain an assemblage of cultural remains that reflect sufficient diversity to permit identification of activities and to allow confirmation of the period of site use. Sites with the most potential to address research questions about human lifeways contain associated features, structures, and relatively intact and datable artifacts.
Non-archaeological historic sites or sites with non-archaeological components are those assessed for NRHP eligibility under Criteria A, B, or C, and (though rarely) Criterion D. and typically do not receive subsurface testing. Examples of historic site types include linear historic features, such as transportation routes and water conduits, standing building and structure sites, and potentially extend to any historic feature on an otherwise archaeological site. Historic and ethnographic sites evaluated for potential contribution to history or cultural traditions for other than their possible future research value tend to have different evaluation and management considerations than archaeological sites. Typically the integrity of historic sites is addressed using the guidelines presented in National Register Bulletin 15, which defines the seven elements of integrity as location, design, materials, workmanship, setting, feeling, and association.
Steps to recording and evaluating historical sites and site components will proceed according to appropriate state and federal guidelines. Features and structures will be described, site boundaries and environmental setting will be recorded, photographs will be taken, and mapping will be completed using sub-meter accurate GPS technology.

Discovery of Human Remains The discussion below represents a brief summary of protocols to be followed in the event human remains are discovered within the study area. If human remains are discovered during the field inventory:
1. All work will halt in the vicinity of the discovery. Cessation of ground-disturbing activity will encompass a sufficient area to protect the discovery and provide a buffer zone for adequate and safe investigation of any other associated features or artifacts. A buffer area no smaller than 30 by 30 meters (approximately 100 by 100 feet) will be established around the discovery. 2. The SWCA field supervisor will notify the Alaska SHPO, Alaska State Troopers and Local Police Department, DOT&PF, and SWCA project management team and will secure the scene until the authorities can respond.
REPORTING
SWCA will prepare a technical report of the survey findings, which will meet the requirements of Section 106 and the guidelines of the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office. The reporting will detail objectives for the current project, and provide an explanation, including mapped images, of the boundaries and extent of the study area. The report will include a project area map identifying all cultural resources 45 years older that were identified within the study area during the fieldwork. The report will include a brief description of the history, development, and character of the surveyed area, and present the survey results in a table. The types of properties and the supporting archival data will be presented in conjunction with the research design. An explanation of the methods used to guide the survey efforts, including intensity and distribution of effort, will also be provided. The types of properties documented within the study area, as well as those areas where historic resources are notably absent, will also be discussed. Finally, a summary of how the survey results have met the statement of objectives, and recommendations for any future work will be discussed. A digital photographic image will be provided for each resource, and a map will be prepared indicating the resource’s location on USGS topographical map sheets or aerial photographic maps. The report can be submitted electronically, in hard copy, or both, as requested by DOT&PF.
