(4) If the SHPD determines that an adequate survey exists and that historic properties are present, then the agency shall proceed to the next step in the review process, evaluation of the significance of the historic properties according to section 13-275-6.
(5) If the SHPD concludes an inventory survey needs to be done, this survey shall identify all historic properties and gather enough information to evaluate the properties' significance. Inventory surveys fall into three main categories, and the SHPD will indicate which category or combination of categories is needed.
(A) An archaeological inventory survey may be undertaken when the SHPD concludes that archaeological properties are present or are likely to be present. Archaeological survey often involves detailed field mapping and test excavations, laboratory analyses, and interpretive studies. An archaeological permit, issued by the SHPD, as set forth in chapter 13-282, is required for this survey and any lesser level of archaeological survey work. The survey must be directed by a qualified archaeologist who meets the qualifications set forth in chapter 13-281. Results of the survey shall be reported either through an archaeological assessment, if no sites were found, or an archaeological survey report which meets the minimum standards set forth in chapter 13-276. An archaeological assessment shall include the information on the property and the survey methodology as set forth in subsections 13-276-5(a) and (c), as well as a brief background section discussing the former landuse and types of sites that might have been previously present.
(B) An ethnographic survey may be undertaken when the SHPD concludes that historic

properties which may be significant under criterion "e" of paragraph 13-275-6(b)(5) are present or are likely to be present within the project area and when the project area is known to have been used by members of an ethnic community at least fifty years ago or by preceding generations. Guidelines for this survey can be obtained from the SHPD. The survey must be directed by a qualified ethnographer who meets the qualifications set forth in chapter 13-281.
(C) An architectural inventory survey may be undertaken when the SHPD concludes that historic buildings, structures, objects, or districts are present or are likely to be present within the project area. Information shall be of sufficient quality to either complete a National Register of Historic Places nomination form, or have SHPD agree it provides an adequate basis for making historic preservation decisions. The survey must be directed by a qualified historian, architect or architectural historian who meets the qualifications set forth in chapter 13-281.
(c) Should the SHPD believe unusual archaeological conditions may be present in a project area, such as the presence of paleo-environmental materials or historic archaeology, the division may require an inventory plan be submitted for approval prior to the undertaking of any inventory survey work. This plan shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) All the information required in subsections 13-276-5 (a) and (b) which identifies the project area, identifies the project owner, describes the environment, provides the results of background research, as appropriate, and reviews any relevant prior archaeological studies.
(2) A research design for the identification of historic properties within the project area. This would be a section on the methods to be used in the archaeological field survey which shall include:

§13-275-5
(A) The names and qualifications of the principal investigator;
(B) The anticipated number of field personnel, and any specialized qualifications which they might possess;
(C) The anticipated duration of time for the survey;
(D) The extent of survey coverage, as appropriate. If the coverage is to be less than one hundred percent, the rationale for the sample (the sampling design) must be presented in a careful discussion. Sampling designs which include analysis of possible subsurface sites under sand dunes, urban fill, and other areas must also be presented here;
(E) A discussion of any factors which might limit the survey effort, if appropriate;
(F) The techniques to be used to identify archaeological properties (transects, sweeps, test excavations, augering, etc.);
(G) The anticipated extent of historic property recording (mapping, measuring, photographing, test excavations) and the techniques to be used, with the rationale for these techniques given, if appropriate; and
(H) The method to be used to plot site location, if appropriate.
(3) Information obtained through the consultation process with individuals knowledgeable about the project area's history, if discussions with the SHPD, background research or public input indicate a need to consult with knowledgeable individuals. This section would include all the information required in subsection 13-276-5(g).
(d) If an inventory plan is required, once it is completed, one copy of the inventory plan shall be submitted to the SHPD for review. The plan shall meet the above requirements. The SHPD shall inform the agency within thirty days of receipt of the plan if the information contained in the plan is adequate or inadequate.
(1) Any interested persons may comment on the plan. Comments must be submitted in writing to the SHPD within thirty days of the SHPD
