(a) For projects subject to review for archeological
sites and cemeteries under this MOU, based on the results of background
research, TxDOT will identify projects or portions of projects' APEs
that require archeological field investigation.
(b) Eligibility determinations that TxDOT performs
under this MOU will not require field investigations if sufficient
background information exists to demonstrate that the portion of the
site to be affected does not have potential research value.
(c) Determinations that TxDOT makes under this MOU
regarding the presence of cemeteries in project APEs may be made through
the use of maps, project-area photographs, or other background research.
