    PHASE I CULTURAL RESOURCES INVESTIGATION FOR THE MERRIAM JUNCTION SANDS PROJECT, LOUISVILLE TOWNSHIP, SCOTT COUNTY, MINNESOTA FINAL REPORT Submitted to: Merriam Junction Sands, LLC 13040 Den Con Drive Shakopee, MN 55379 Submitted by: Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. 1217 Bandana Boulevard North St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 Report Authors: Garrett L. Knudsen, M.A., Laurie S. H. Ollila, M.A., and Andrew J. Schmidt, M.A. March 2015 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Merriam Junction Sands, LLC (MJS) is proposing to develop several parcels of land located in Louisville Township, Scott County, Minnesota, for non-metallic mineral mining and processing operations to accommodate the production of industrial sands in addition to the continued production of construction aggregates. Some of the parcels have been mined in the past or are currently being mined for sand and gravel limestone resources. As currently defined, the Merriam Junction Sands (MJS) project is not considered to be a federal undertaking as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations (36CRF 800). If future information indicates the action is a federal undertaking this report may serve as a basis for additional study. The MJS project is subject to regulations associated with several permits from various government units, as shown in Table 1. Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. (Summit) was previously retained in June 2011 by Sunde Engineering, PPLC (Sunde) on behalf of the previous project owner, to complete a Phase I cultural resources investigation of the project area. In 2015, Sunde contracted with Summit on behalf of MJS to update the earlier Phase I study to reflect the current project.

The two OARF-supported field investigations completed during this period are as follows: 1. Test excavations at the Spring Valley site (23CT389), southeastern Missouri. 2. Exploration at the Classen Mastodon locality and adjacent areas of the Classen Ranch in Meade County, southwestern Kansas. The excavation crew at the Spring Valley site (23CT389) consisted of three students from the University of Kansas: Josh Collins, Paige Englert, and R. Mason Niquette. Also, Jacque Griffith- Esala, Matthew Nowak, and Jack Ray (Project Supervisor), all from Missouri State University, participated in the excavation. In addition, Dr. Laura Murphy and Alyssa Sparks from the Washburn University archaeology field school were involved with the excavation during the second field session, and Allison Young (National Park Service), David Cain (U.S. Forest Service) and Jake Pluim (U.S. Forest Service) served as volunteers at the site. Dr. Rolfe Mandel conducted the geomorphological investigation at site 23CT389. The following K.U. students were involved with the Odyssey investigation at the Classen mastodon locality and adjacent areas of the Classen Ranch: Paige Englert, Jeff Ross, and Blair Benson Schneider. Dr. Laura Murphy (Washburn University) served as Project Supervisor, and three Washburn students – Adrianna Hendricks, Lori Holstrom, and Daniel Hougland – served as volunteers.
