Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) If the Department is in possession of credible information that leads the Department to conclude that there is a likelihood that unregistered graves or grave contents are located on real property, then the Department shall notify the owner of the real property in writing of such information. This notification shall include the requirements under the Act to obtain a permit before any undertaking may take place on the real property that the Department determined likely to contain unregistered graves or grave contents.
b) Notification of Owner of Record of Permit Requirements.
The Department may recommend that a general archaeological field investigation of the suspected location of unregistered grave or grave contents be conducted by a professional archaeologist. If Native American unregistered graves or grave contents are encountered, invasive archaeological field investigations must be conducted with the approval of Tribal Nations.
