Dear Beau Goldstein:

Pursuant to your request, this office has reviewed documentation concerning the above-referenced undertaking. Our review of and comment on your proposed undertaking are among the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. This Act requires federal agencies or applicants for federal assistance to consult with the appropriate State Historic Preservation Office before they carry out their proposed undertakings. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation has codified procedures for carrying out Section 106 review in 36 CFR 800 (Federal Register, December 12, 2000, 77698-77739).

Our office concurs with your agency's preliminary determination that no archaeological resources will be affected by the undertaking and that the Archaeological Resources Monitoring and Unanticipated Discovery Plan (Kairos 2024-TN9866) provided adequately for the inadvertent discovery of intact archaeological resources. Additionally, based on the information provided, we find that the project area contains the National Register eligible Manhattan Project National Historical Park. We further concur that the project as currently proposed will not adversely affect this historic property.

This office has no objection to the implementation of this project as currently planned. If project plans are changed or previously unevaluated archaeological resources are discovered during project construction, please contact this office to determine what further action, if any, will be necessary to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Include the Project # if you need to submit any additional information regarding this undertaking. Questions and comments may be directed to Jennifer Barnett, who drafted this response, at Jennifer.Barnett@tn.gov,

+16156874780. We appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely,

E. Patrick McIntyre, Jr.

Executive Director and State Historic Preservation Officer
