Project Proposal:  Placement of an animal care center and a single dwelling unit with a driveway, all 
necessary facilities and services, while minimizing disruptions to the surrounding area. 
Project Location:  Plot No. 14 Remainder, Estate Carolina, St. John, USVI 
Applicant: ANIMAL CARE CENTER OF St. John, Inc. 
 
This memo is to inform you that the above-referenced application for a Minor Coastal Zone Permit has 
been reviewed and it is determined that since the project site is not listed on the Virgin Islands Registry of 
Historic Places, no additional archaeological investigations will be required for Plot No. 14 Remainder, 
Est. Carolina, St. John USVI at this time.  However, if any newly identified historic structures or 
archaeological sites will be impacted or demolished as part of this permit, the applicant will  be instructed 
to contact the VISHPO for consultation immediately. 
 
Further, because it is not known if archaeological or historic resources could be present below grade on 
this site, the applicant, Animal Care Center of St. John Inc., should be informed that upon discovery of 
any new archaeological or historic site or human burial site on private lands, the owner or his 
representative shall immediately notify the VISHPO in the event of such a discovery.  Failure to notify 
the VISHPO in the event of such a discovery, and/or the purposeful concealment or destruction of 
archaeological or historic remains may result in civil and/or criminal penalties.
