The assessor's comments

Phase I survey recorded four new sites. Site 33-CR-0412 covers about 1.6 acres; draft layout places array rows over its north half, and a shift of about 150 feet would avoid it. Pettibone Family Cemetery lies 120 feet from arrays; unmarked graves may extend beyond its fence. No tribal consultation has taken place yet.

Worst case

If what is pending at the cut-off went badly, the same rule gives a higher rating.

Scenario: Radar confirms unmarked graves extending into planned array areas and 33-CR-0412 is found eligible, and a federal nexus triggers Section 106 adverse-effect resolution with data recovery or disinterment.
Step still pending: Ground-penetrating radar at the cemetery, SHPO review and Phase II testing of 33-CR-0412, plus tribal consultation
Inputs in the worst case: Extent peripheral · Avoidable partly · Pathway individual · Impact likely yes

2What the record shows

The five inputs

Present: yes
Phase I survey recorded four new sites (C-d3cd803c16), including 33-CR-0412, a lithic scatter with intact pit feature that may hold significant information (C-915bc9d3d5). Pettibone Family Cemetery adjoins Parcel 9 with possible unmarked graves outside the fence (C-973edd2bcd, C-75edf45e28, C-5aeb954b2a). Absence finding covers only three other sites needing no further work (C-3f34c70506); low potential in the mined part of the East Block (C-26b173c644) does not negate these.
Cites C-d3cd803c16, C-915bc9d3d5, C-973edd2bcd, C-75edf45e28, C-5aeb954b2a, C-3f34c70506, C-26b173c644
Extent: peripheral
Site 33-CR-0412 covers about 1.6 acres (C-257da2033f) and the 0.2-acre cemetery tract is excluded from the leased land (C-bb450a29a5), against 780 buildable acres. Both are small localized features; the cemetery is 120 feet from arrays (C-76863a3272).
Cites C-257da2033f, C-bb450a29a5, C-76863a3272
Avoidable: yes
Consultant states a shift of about 150 feet avoids 33-CR-0412 with its buffer (C-7041213fff); cemetery protection by buffer and fencing is recommended (C-1134e16733). Unmarked graves extent still unconfirmed but avoidance by layout is feasible.
Cites C-7041213fff, C-1134e16733
Pathway: standard
OPSB application must map cultural resources and describe avoidance, with SHPO-standard surveys submitted to SHPO (C-37779bcd55, C-4892410817; OH-HIST). Cemetery buffer and discovery plan follow SHPO guidance (OH-CEM, C-4d507135cc). Section 106 applies only if a federal nexus arises (C-f5449d6a0d), not established.
Cites C-37779bcd55, C-4892410817, C-4d507135cc, C-f5449d6a0d
Impact likely: yes
Draft layout places array rows over the north half of 33-CR-0412 (C-7041213fff), and arrays sit near the cemetery where unmarked graves may lie outside the fence (C-75edf45e28); grading and pile driving may affect them unless layout changes.

3Permits and requirements

The requirements tied to the rows of this report, by level. Each quote from dated law is shown with its source, the version in force on the cut-off and the basis for it.

Federal (1)

Section 106 consultation
F-NHPA106 · Lead federal agency with the State Historic Preservation Office (and THPOs)
Applicability
Conditional
Instrument
National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 (54 U.S.C. 306108); 36 CFR Part 800
Trigger
Federal nexus, for example an individual Section 404 permit or federal funding.
Description
A federal undertaking (federal permit, funding, license or land) must take into account effects on historic properties.
Typical timeline
SHPO/THPO review: if it does not respond within 30 days of receiving a request for review of a finding or determination, the agency official may proceed to the next step or consult the Advisory Council (36 CFR 800.3(c)(4)). Under a Corps nationwide permit, an activity that may have the potential to cause effects to listed or eligible historic properties is not authorized until the Section 106 requirements have been satisfied (general condition 20(a)). Typical: 2 to 4 months for a no-adverse-effect finding once surveys are complete and 6 to 12 months or more if an adverse effect needs a memorandum of agreement (basis: practice, not stated in the sources).

State (2)

Cultural and archaeological resources information in the OPSB application, supported by SHPO-standard archaeology and history/architecture surveys and SHPO review
OH-HIST · Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) for the application content; Ohio History Connection, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), for survey standards and review
Applicability
Required
Instrument
OAC 4906-4-08(D) (effective 2018-04-26); ORC 149.53; SHPO Archaeology Guidelines (2022) and Guidelines for Conducting History/Architecture Surveys in Ohio (2014); National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 where a federal permit or approval applies
Trigger
An OPSB certificate application for a generating facility under OAC Chapter 4906-4 must include cultural and archaeological resources information, and SHPO review follows where a federal permit or approval (Section 106) or a state agency (ORC 149.53) is involved.
Description
An OPSB certificate application for a generating facility must map registered landmarks of historic, religious, archaeological or other cultural significance within ten miles of the project area, evaluate the facility's impact on them and describe plans to avoid or mitigate adverse impact (OAC 4906-4-08(D)). SHPO sets the survey standards it reviews: its archaeology guidelines prescribe report formats, and its history/architecture guidelines require a qualified principal investigator for compliance surveys. Section 106 review, in which SHPO takes part, is a routine part of planning for projects with federal funding, permits, licenses or approvals. ORC 149.53 provides, whenever practical, for archaeological and historic survey in planning, including before work on a public improvement begins; SHPO says there is no formal consultation process under it, though its phased approach is typically followed, and the sources do not say whether it reaches a private facility certificated by the OPSB.
Typical timeline
Under Section 106 the regulations give SHPO thirty days to respond to submissions that meet 36 CFR 800.11, and incomplete submissions may need further information and analysis (SHPO form instructions). The sources state no period for comment under ORC 149.53, for which SHPO says there is no formal process.

Avoidance of cemeteries and burial places (SHPO guidance); disinterment under ORC 517.23 and 517.24 if remains must be moved; stop work and notify if human remains are found
OH-CEM · Ohio History Connection, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), for burial-place guidance; cemetery officers and the court (disinterment); Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Real Estate (cemetery registration)
Applicability
Conditional
Instrument
ORC 517.21 to 517.24; ORC Chapter 4767; ORC 2927.11; SHPO Archaeology Guidelines, Cemeteries, Burial Mounds, and Other Burial Places (November 2022)
Trigger
A cemetery, burial mound or other place of burial is known or suspected on or next to the project area, or human remains are found during survey or construction.
Description
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) recommends preservation in place, with a 100-foot buffer shown on plans and fenced during construction; if 100 feet is not possible, geophysical survey and SHPO consultation set the avoidance area. Moving remains means disinterment. After an application is filed with the cemetery and costs are paid, it must follow within thirty days, subject to the statute's exceptions (ORC 517.23); a person not qualified to apply may obtain a court order (ORC 517.24(B)). Trustees or directors may order an abandoned cemetery discontinued and its remains removed (ORC 517.21). The sources do not say how these procedures apply to an isolated burial on private land. Purposely damaging a cemetery or Indian mound or earthwork without privilege is prohibited (ORC 2927.11). Cemetery registration (ORC 4767.02 to 4767.04) excludes family cemeteries and those with no interments in 25 years, so records may omit burial grounds.
Typical timeline
Disinterment: within thirty days after an application is filed with the cemetery and costs are paid, subject to the statute's exceptions (ORC 517.23(A)(1)). On an inadvertent discovery, all ground-disturbing activity within a 150-foot radius of the burial place must cease, and the discovery be reported to the county medical examiner or coroner, local law enforcement, the applicant, the landowner and SHPO (SHPO guidance).

6Basis and limits

This report is a desk review of the documents quoted above, as the engine read them for an information cut-off of 2023-08-01.

It is not a field survey and not a modelled study: this review made no site visit and ran no acoustic, hydraulic or other model. Where the record is silent, the report says what is missing; it does not fill the gap.

Every statement, figure and quote is the engine's record as written. The headings and connecting words are fixed text of this room, the same in every report.
