Question
Are recorded archaeological sites, cemeteries or tribal cultural resources present in the study area?
Missing evidence
Cultural resources desktop review, Phase I archaeological survey, and SHPO/THPO correspondence.
Consequence
Presence, extent and Section 106 pathway cannot be rated; possible schedule and cost exposure remains unquantified.
Information request
Provide any cultural resources review, SHPO site file search results or SHPO/THPO correspondence for Brook Hollow Solar.

Revision

The five inputs
Present: unknown
No claims address recorded archaeological sites, cemeteries or tribal cultural resources. The only related claim (C-18f20d1141) concerns a farm debris pile, not cultural resources. Silence is not evidence of absence.
No cultural resources documented, so position relative to buildable area cannot be assessed.
Cites no claim.
Avoidable: unknown
Not established; no sites or high-potential areas are documented.
Cites no claim.
Pathway: none
Placeholder because presence is unknown.
Cites no claim.
Impact likely: no
Placeholder because presence is unknown.
Cites no claim.
Comments
No cultural resources desktop review, Phase I archaeological survey or SHPO/THPO correspondence is included in the data room. Archaeological resources, cemeteries and tribal cultural resources are not addressed. A state site file review would settle presence.
Critique
Verdict
upheld
Suggested direction for the rating

Summary
Abstention is correct because the evidence is silent on cultural resources. The debris pile claim is properly dismissed. Agencies are plausible for Indiana. Only minor gaps: no federal-nexus screen and no named tribes in the next steps.

Issues
Severity minor · Kind other
Citing the farm debris pile claim is harmless but tangential. The assessment correctly treats it as non-cultural. Pathway 'none' and impact 'no' are labelled placeholders. Section 106 and the SHPO requirements are conditional, and S-06 is unverified, so listing agencies without asserting a pathway is acceptable. The assessment could add that the ~1,356-acre footprint and a likely federal nexus (for example a Section 404 permit) would trigger Section 106 review.
Next steps could name a federal-nexus screen (404 or other federal permit) to decide whether Section 106 applies. They could also name the specific tribes or THPOs to contact. Neither omission changes the Unknown category.
