File Organization by Resource Type
Survey Area
Submit survey areas for above and below ground projects in a single file if they are covered in the same report. This should include the areas where archaeological and historical resources were considered, which might not be equivalent to the project corridor. If a survey APE consists of dis-contiguous areas, merge them into a single feature. If the project contains above and below ground surveys, then this file should only contain two features. For projects with multiple addenda, submit a shapefile that is identical to the APE in that particular report. All survey areas must be represented by polygons.
