The property tote WWres, and is zoned RR, Residential/Recreational. In addition to the 22 lots there will be 3.10 acres of dedicated Right-of-Wa res of open space which includes two stormwater detention ponds, walking paths, a boat rakdVand a doc a limits of disturbance is approximately 8.4 acres. Keeping with the nature of ZUVVetoprefits in the area the project will be designed to NCDENR's Low Density development criteria. By designing this project with the low density criteria in mind the maximum impervious area of any lot shall not exceed 12,148 sf. The site is in FEMA flood zones "AE" and "X". Existing Conditions: The lot is bound to the east by Marsh Causeway, a rural road which is one lane in each direction, and a 60 foot right of way. The site is bound to the west by the North Landing River which is a class SC body of water, according to the NCDENR Water Quality Classifications. The property is bound to the north by a residential subdivision and to the south by agricultural farmland. This site was used as a mobile home or an RV park. There is a 170' long wooden pier with boat slips located at the west of the property. There is currently on site an existing dirt road which leads to two brick buildings at the rear of the property. The northeast corner of the property is heavily wooded. There is an existing stormwater pond at the southeast of the property, as well as a cemetery near the center of the lot. There is heavy vegetation along the south property line. Contours range from 5' to 12'. The high point is at the center of the site, and the site drains down to three general areas; to the west, the north, and the southeast. There are no public utilities along Marsh Causeway. Domestic water is provided by a well and there is a septic sewer system to treat the sewer. Construction Sequence: Phase 1 1. Contractor to obtain all necessary permits prior to any construction activities. 2. Install temporary construction entrance at Marsh Causeway. 3. Install silt fence and tree protection. 4. Excavate fire pond in northeast comer of lot to act as sediment basin during construction activities. 5. Excavate swale along the south of the site to catch sediment from construction. 6. Clear and grub trees to limits shown on plans. 7. Remove existing concrete pads and buildings. RECEIVED Ft_ts 1 d 2013 D :` -i!T'D C TY Phase 2 1. Rough grade roadway. 2. Install roadway culverts. 3. Construct road and excavate roadside swales. Install aggregate walking 4. Excavate ditches in-between lots and small pond at north of the site. 5. Prepare septic field area. 6. Prepare lots for building pads. Phase 3 1. 2. 3. Stabilize all disturbed area resulting from construction activities related to Phases 1 and 2 Contractor to grade building pads and construct houses Stabilize building lots Utilities: Waterline Currituck County does not have any public water mains along Marsh Causeway in the area of the proposed project. Each lot will have a private well to service each house, which shall be installed on the lots after they have been purchased. Since there are no water service lines, there are no fire hydrants on site, nor a feasible way to place a new one. Therefore the proposed stormwater pond at the northeast of the site shall maintain a water surface elevation of 4.75' to allow the Fire Department to pump water from the pond in order to fight a fire. Sanitary Sewer Currituck County does not have public sanitary sewer service along Marsh Causeway at the site. Each lot will utilize a septic tank and drainfield to service the house, which shall be installed on the lots after they have been purchased. The plans will be submitted to the Albemarle Health Department for full drainfield design. Stormwater: The design standards for NCDENR's Low Density Development are being adhered to for this project. Because this project is to be considered low density, stormwater quality does not need to be formally addressed. Pollutants generated onsite by the limited impervious area will be treated in multiple ways. Stormwater is required to sheet flow across lawns and open areas, instead of underground pipe networks grass swales will be used to convey the stormwater. The sheet flow and grass channels will trap pollutants in the grass and soil and allow for evaporation. A large majority of the front half of the site discharges into stormwater retention ponds where the remaining pollutants have an opportunity to fall out of suspension before being discharged to the existing roadside ditch. Stormwater from the back half of the site will sheet flow into grass channels and ultimately outfall into the North Landing River. The ultimate outfall for this site is the North Landing River. As stated above the low density development criteria will be followed, therefore no curb inlets, drop inlets, or underground pipes can be used. Stormwater from each individual lot is collected by interior lot swales that are trapezoidal in shape. The swales have a one (1) foot flat bottom and 5:1 side slopes. Those swales discharge into lead or llectigp swales that have a two (2) foot flat bottom and varying side slopes from 3:1 to 5:1. The lead wales ultimately outfall into one of the two wet ponds or directly discharge into North Landing River. C ti i CAMA Improvements: This property is on the North Landing River, which requires a 75-foot CAMA setback from the water. There is very little disturbance within the CAMA area, and there shall be no disturbance of the North Landing River. The site improvements within the 75-foot area include the grading of swales in between each property to convey stormwater runoff to the adequate outfall that is the North Landing River, and a 12-foot wide stone trail which will provide access to the existing boat ramp. The majority of the excavation for the swales will take place upland from the setback; however the side slopes will flatten back to existing grade at or just within the CAMA setback. One tree shall be removed, which is about 180-feet from the south of the property. Although there are two areas of impounded water on site, the proposed fire pond and the existing pond in the southeast of the site, neither is close to the CAMA setback area, and are considered upland development. The existing pond is located 1,080 linear feet away, and the proposed fire pond is located 1,400 linear feet away. There are existing wetlands along the top of bank of the existing pond; however there is no filling or excavation within the wetland area. The portion of the pedestrian trail that crosses the wetlands will be a timber bridge.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to subdivide a large parcel into a 22 lot subdivision, remove all existing building structures, construct two roads to access the lots, construct a roadway to access an existing boat ramp, create a stormwater fire pond in addition to an existing stormwater pond, install aggregate walking trails, dig swales for drainage and repair an existing dock along the boat ramp. Project Setting The site of the proposed development is a large parcel that was formerly known as the Anchor Campground. It is located at 172 Marsh Causeway (NC HWY 615), approximately 0.4 miles south of the NC/VA border on Knotts Island, Currituck County, and is adjacent to North Landing River. The property is ±33 acres in size with elevations that range from 12' above Normal Water Level (NWL) at the center of the site, gradually tapering down to 5' within three general areas; to the north, the southeast, and to west along North Landing River. Man-made features on the property within the upland areas include an old cemetery, several buildings in disrepair, a large cement pad, a gazebo, a large picnic pavilion, several small picnic pavilions, and a grown over gravel access road/path. The tract is vegetated with yard grasses, various upland trees and shrubs. The majority of the site is open field with the exception of a ±2 acre densely wooded area within the northeast section of the property and a ±0.22 acre stormwater pond located within the southeast section of the property. Approximately 0.21 acres surrounding the pond has been delineated as a jurisdictional 404-wetland by the USACE. According to the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service's Web Soil Survey, the soil on the property is made up of Bojac loamy sand (BoA) and Tomotley fine sandy loam (To). An archaeological assessment was conducted on this site in the spring of 2012 by Circa — Cultural Resource Management, LLC which resulted in the identification of three isolated finds, no new archaeological sites, and one ca. 1980's architectural resource. It was recommended that no further work be conducted for the three isolated finds or the location as they are not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Previously identified archaeological sites within 1 mile of the project area include 31CK67 and 31CK198. The site has ±585' of shoreline that has been hardened by a wooden bulkhead located at normal water level. This bulkhead ties into the adjacent property bulkhead to the north and has a return along the southern property line that is reinforced with large concrete riprap. A 14' wide concrete boat ramp is located adjacent to the northern property line. The ramp has a 50'x6' pier located on the southern side that is missing most of its decking and has damage to several joists and girders. The damage to this pier is less than 50% of the structural components. Approximately 320' south of the boat ramp is a docking facility comprising of a 150'x6pierwith a 16'x16' platform. Three 24'x3' finger piers are located on the south side of the pier creating four slips. A short retaining wall that ranges from 6 inches to 1 foot in height runs parallel with the shoreline ±15' landward of the bulkhead. All of these structures were permitted through 4 Currituck 34, LLC c/o Michael Sifen Field Investigation Report Page 3 RE'L;En CAMA Major Permit #49-99. The waters of North Landing River in this area are classified as SC and are closed to shellfish taking. 11 The adjacent property to the north is a large parcel that contains the Sandy Point Resort camping area as well as full time residences. The shoreline of this property has been hardened through bulkheading and riprap and a docking facility exists. The adjacent property to the south has a natural shoreline and is also a large parcel containing the Flyway Club hunting lodge. The lodge and barn are located near the shoreline and the upland areas are agricultural fields. Development Proposal The applicant proposes to develop the site by creating 22 single-family lots (6 being waterfront) with a minimum lot size of 40,002 sf (0.918 acres). Twenty-four foot wide asphalt roads are proposed within the subdivision as well as two 96' diameter cul-de-sacs. There will be two open space areas within the highground area as well as a water access open space area. Within the water access area, a 12' wide heavy duty stone road with a 30' long hammer head turn around will be constructed to the existing boat ramp from a proposed cul-de-sac. The existing damaged pier along the boat ramp will have the decking and joists/girders repla��rr -to-br rng it to usable condition. A 5' wide asphalt walking trail is proposed within the open space _areagTheirail will c_r6ss-VwoU-gh a portion of the delineated 404-wetlands and within this area it will transition to a t83'x4' timber boardwalk that will be elevated 1' as measured from the wetland substrate to the bottom of the decking. Within the highground area, all of the existing structures with the exception of the cemetery will be removed. The wooded area within the northeast section will be cleared and a 0.75 acre stormwater/fire pond will be excavated. Drainage swales will be dug along the roadways and in between the proposed lots. The majority of stormwater will flow into the excavated stormwater pond, into the existing ditches along Marsh Causeway or into the existing stormwater pond. The sound front lots will have six swales that will extend into the 75' Coastal Shoreline of Environmental Concern (AEC) and of these six, three will extend into the 30'CAMA buffer. These swales will terminate and stormwater will sheet flow over the bulkhead into the North Landing River. The total disturbance on the site will be t8.4 acres. The total amount of proposed impervious coverage for the site is ±88,665 ft2 or 6.2% including the roadways and walking trails. In order to be considered a low density subdivision, future total impervious coverage for the tract will not exceed 24%. As proposed, the amount of impervious coverage within the CAMA 75' AEC is ±950 ft2 or 2.1 %. Each lot will have the building pad area graded in preparation for future home construction. Each lot, when sold, will have individual wells and septic systems installed; however, a t0.61 acre reserve septic field area will be prepared within the northern open area under this application. The NC Division of Water Quality issued Stormwater Permit #SW120709 on October 3, 2012 and The NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources issued an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan #Curri-2013-002 on October 9, 2012 for this project. 11 Currituck 34, LLC c/o Michael Sifen Field Investigation Report Page 4 Anticipated Impacts The construction of the drainage swales will result in ±1,700 ft2 of disturbance within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. The construction of the boat ramp access road will result in the additional ±600 ft2 for a total of 2.1% of impervious surface within the Estuarine Shoreline AEC. • The boardwalk installation will result in the shading of ±336 ft2 of 404-wetlands. The proposed development will result in the disturbance of ±8.4 acres on the tract. Submitted by: Ron Renaldi Date: 01 /16/2013 r DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT 1.

The property totals 32.96 acres, and is zoned RR, Residential/Recreational. In addition to the 22 lots there will be 3.10 acres of dedicated Right -of -Way, 6.38 acres of open space which includes two stormwater detention ponds, walking paths, a boat ramp and a dock. The limits of disturbance is approximately 8.4 acres. Keeping with the nature of the developments in the area the project will be designed to NCDENR's Low Density development criteria. By designing this project with the low density criteria in mind the maximum impervious area of any lot shall not exceed 12,148 sf. The site is in FEMA flood zones "AE" and "X". Existine Conditions: The lot is bound to the east by Marsh Causeway, a rural road which is one lane in each direction, and a 60 foot right of way. The site is bound to the west by the North Landing River which is a class SC body of water, according to the NCDENR Water Quality Classifications. The property is bound to the north by a residential subdivision and to the south by agricultural farmland. This site was used as a mobile home or an RV park. There is a 170' long wooden pier with boat slips located at the west of the property. There is currently on site an existing dirt road which leads to two brick buildings at the rear of the property. The northeast comer of the property is heavily wooded. There is an existing stormwater pond at the southeast of the property, as well as a cemetery near the center of the lot. There is heavy vegetation along the south property line. Contours range from 5' to 12'. The high point is at the center of the site, and the site drains down to three general areas; to the west, the north, and the southeast. There are no public utilities along Marsh Causeway. Domestic water is provided by a well and there is a septic sewer system to treat the sewer. Construction Sequence: Phase 1 1. Contractor to obtain all necessary permits prior to any construction activities. 2. Install temporary construction entrance at Marsh Causeway. 3. Install silt fence and tree protection. 4. Excavate fire pond in northeast comer of lot to act as sediment basin during construction activities. 5. Excavate swale along the south of the site to catch sediment from construction. 6. Clear and grub trees to limits shown on plans. 7. Remove existing concrete pads and buildings. RECEIVED JAN 2 2 2013 I)CA,f-�!H, CITY Phase 2 1. Rough grade roadway. 2. Install roadway culverts. 3. Construct road and excavate roadside swales. Install aggregate walking pat s, 4. Excavate ditches in-between lots and small pond at north of the site. 5. Prepare septic field area. 6. Prepare lots for building pads. Phase 3 1. Stabilize all disturbed area resulting from construction activities related to Phases 1 and 2 2. Contractor to grade building pads and construct houses 3. Stabilize building lots Utilities: Waterline Currituck County does not have any public water mains along Marsh Causeway in the area of the proposed project. Each lot will have a private well to service each house, which shall be installed on the lots after they have been purchased. Since there are no water service lines, there are no fire hydrants on site, nor a feasible way to place a new one. Therefore the proposed stormwater pond at the northeast of the site shall maintain a water surface elevation of 4.75' to allow the Fire Department to pump water from the pond in order to fight a fire. Sanitary Sewer Currituck County does not have public sanitary sewer service along Marsh Causeway at the site. Each lot will utilize a septic tank and drainfield to service the house, which shall be installed on the lots after they have been purchased. The plans will be submitted to the Albemarle Health Department for full drainfield design. Stormwater: The design standards for NCDENR's Low Density Development are being adhered to for this project. Because this project is to be considered low density, stormwater quality does not need to be formally addressed. Pollutants generated onsite by the limited impervious area will be treated in multiple ways. Stormwater is required to sheet flow across lawns and open areas, instead of underground pipe networks grass swales will be used to convey the stormwater. The sheet flow and grass channels will trap pollutants in the grass and soil and allow for evaporation. A large majority of the front half of the site discharges into stormwater retention ponds where the remaining pollutants have an opportunity to fall out of suspension before being discharged to the existing roadside ditch. Stormwater from the back half of the site will sheet flow into grass channels and ultimately outfall into the North Landing River. The ultimate outfall for this site is the North Landing River. As stated above the low density development criteria will be followed, therefore no curb inlets, drop inlets, or underground pipes can be used. Stormwater from each individual lot is collected by interior lot swales that are trapezoidal in shape. The swales have a one (1) foot flat bottom and 5:1 side slopes. Those swales discharge into lead or collection swales that have a two (2) foot flat bottom and varying side slopes from 3:1 to 5:1. The lead swales ultimately outfall into on "o wet ponds or directly discharge into North Landing River JAN 2 2 2013 DCM-MHD CITY CAMA Improvements: This property is on the North Landing River, which requires a 75-foot CAMA setback from the water. There is very little disturbance within the CAMA area, and there shall be no disturbance of the North Landing River. The site improvements within the 75-foot area include the grading of swales in between each property to convey stormwater runoff to the adequate outfall that is the North Landing River, and a 12-foot wide stone trail which will provide access to the existing boat ramp. The majority of the excavation for the swales will take place upland from the setback; however the side slopes will flatten back to existing grade at or just within the CAMA setback. One tree shall be removed, which is about 180-feet from the south of the property. Although there are two areas of impounded water on site, the proposed fire pond and the existing pond in the southeast of the site, neither is close to the CAMA setback area, and are considered upland development. The existing pond is located 1,080 linear feet away, and the proposed fire pond is located 1,400 linear feet away. There are existing wetlands along the top of bank of the existing pond; however there is no filling or excavation within the wetland area. The portion of the pedestrian trail that crosses the wetlands will be a timber bridge. lac': 2 7 2012 Iu t v RECEMD .

Davis John E. Skvada, III Governor Director Secretary RECEIVED MEMORANDUM FEB 072013 TO: Doug Huggett, XCIP, Permit Coordinator FROM: Charlan Owen NE DCM District Planner DCM-MxDMY SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Currituck 43, LLC Go Michael Sifen, to develop A 22- lot residential subdivision with associated road, drainage, walking trail, and open space improvements (including 6 waterfront lots and open space along the North Landing River); on the property at 172 Marsh Causeway (NC Hwy 615), in the community of Knotts Island, Cumtuck County. Date: February 4, 2013 Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Currituck County 2006 Core Land Use Plan (LUP) certified by the CRC on May 18, 2007 as amended through June 24, 2009. Overview: The subject property is a 32.96 acre site with approximately 585 linear feet of shoreline along the North Landing River. Site elevations range from 12 feet above Normal Water Level (NWL) at the center to 5 feet above NWL along the north, southeast, and shoreline to the west. The majority of the site is open except for a 2 acre wooded area to the northeast and a .22 acre stormwater pond surrounded by .21 acre of Section 404 wetlands to the southeast. The property is primarily outside the flood zone, with Flood zone AE along the shoreline, at the wooded area to the northeast, and at the stormwater pond to the southeast. The site was previously developed as a mobile home/RV park. Existing site improvements consist of several buildings, a large picnic pavilion, several small picnic pavilions, a gazebo, a large cement pad, a gravel access road/path and a cemetery. The buildings are in disrepair and the gravel road is overgrown. Existing shoreline improvements consist of a wooden bulkhead along the entire shoreline with a return along the southern property line reinforced with concrete riprap, a 14 foot wide boat ramp with a 6 foot wide by 50 foot long pier at the northem property line, a docking facility approximately 320 feet south of the boat ramp consisting of a 6 foot wide by 150 foot long pier with a 16 foot square terminus platform and three (3) 3 foot wide by 24 foot long finger piers creating four (4) slips, and a retaining wall ranging from 6 inches to 1 foot in height running parallel to the shoreline and located 15 feet from the bulkhead. The 50 foot long pier is missing most of the decking and has damage to several joists and girders. The shoreline improvements were permitted through CAMA Major Permit #49-99. A 22-lot single family residential subdivision (including 6 waterfront lots) with associated road, drainage, walking trail, and open space improvements is proposed. Proposed residential 1367 US 17 South, Elizabeth City, NC 27909 Phone: 252-264-39011 FAX: 252-264-3723 ; Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer 0 North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources MEMORANDUM Division of Coastal Management Page 2 of 8 density is approximately 1 unit per 1.5 acre (22 lots on 32.96 acres). All existing site improvements except for the cemetery will be removed. The wooded area to the northeast will be cleared. Access from the development to Marsh Causeway (NC Hwy 165) is provided by a single connection, with designated open space fronting the highway. Opportunities for future local street connectivity are made possible with a cul-de-sac located near the north property line and a future road terminating at the south property line. Installation of sidewalks and bicycle facilities has not been addressed in the submittal. The project is being developed as a Low Density Development for stormwater purposes. No curb inlets, drop inlets, or underground pipes will be used. Stormwater runoff will be collected in roadside ditches and shallow swales in between the lots. The swales will outfall into one of the two (2) wet ponds or directly discharge into the North Landing River. Waterfront lots will have six (6) swales extending within 75 feet of the shoreline, three (3) of those extending within 30 feet of the shoreline, and terminating to allow sheet flow over the bulkhead into the North Landing River. Existing shoreline improvements will remain. The boat ramp will be a neighborhood facility located within open space. The bulkhead will run along the boat ramp area and waterfront lots (Lots 1 through 6). The docking facility will be associated with Lot 4. A total of 6.38 acres of open space will be provided, to include the two (2) stormwater ponds, a 5 foot wide asphalt walking trail, and the existing boat ramp and a dock. A 12 foot wide heavy duty stone road with a 30 foot long hammer head turn around will be provided to access the existing boat ramp. The damaged pier along the boat ramp will have the decking and joists/girders replaced to bring it to usable condition. The walking trail will include a 4 foot wide by 83 foot long boardwalk section elevated 1 foot where it crosses wetlands. Future lot development will include individual wells and septic systems, however a .61 acre reserve septic field area will be provided. Placement of utility wires underground has not been addressed in the submittal. The waters of the North Landing River in this area are classified as SC and are closed to shellfish taking. An archaeological assessment conducted in spring of 2012 resulted in the identification of three (3) isolated finds, no new archaeological sites, and one (1) architectural resource. It was recommended that no further work be conducted on the finds and resource as they are not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Previously identified archaeological sites within 1 mile of the project include 31 CK67 and 31 CK198. Anticipated impacts: resulting from this project are expected to include: the disturbance of 2,300 sq. ft. of Estuarine Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) and 8.35 acres of Uplands outside of the Estuarine Shoreline AEC, and; the shading of 336 sq. ft. of Section 404 Wetlands outside of an AEC.

As indicated on Page 11-2, the purpose of the Limited Service designation is to provide for primarily residential development at low densities. It is recognized that soil limitations, flood prone areas, and a lack of infrastructure and services may prevent these areas from ever reaching an urban level of development. Despite the overall low density of these areas, efforts should be made to encourage clusters of residential uses to preserve open space and to provide for a sense of a 'community". Base development density should be 1 unit per acre but could be increased to 1.5 units per acre through overlay zoning depending upon whether service facilities are in place or planned and the potential impact on the surrounding community. The policy emphasis for Knotts Island is indicated on Page 11-11. The policy emphasis of this plan is for developable areas of Knotts Island and Gibbs Woods to remain as low to very low density residential areas. This means predominantly 1 unit per 3 acres. In keeping with the wishes of the majority of residents in these two areas, no services or infrastructure should be provided that would serve as an inducement to more intensive development. This means that residences will continue to rely upon individual wells and septic systems for their water supply and sewage treatment needs. As indicated on Page 11-1, the purpose of the Conservation designation is to provide for the long-term management and protection of significant, limited, or irreplaceable areas. Proper management is needed to conserve the natural, cultural, recreational, scenic or biologically productive values of these areas. The designation is applied to areas that should not be developed at all (preserved), or if developed, done so in a very limited manner characterized by careful planning and cautious attention to the conservation of environmental features. As indicated on Page 11-2, the standards of the Conservation class shall be applied in accordance with the site specific information made available during special studies and/or the land development process. Definitions of key words are provided on page 9-2. These words include "Encourage: to favor or foster', "Should: Ought to, if no valid reason not to", and "Support: to shore up, may imply financial support".

Skvarla, III Secretary RECEIVED JAN 2 2 2013 DCM-MHD CITY The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of the application submitted on behalf of Currituck 34, LLC for State approval for development of their property located at 172 Marsh Causeway in Knotts Island, Currituck County. It was received complete on January 7, 2013, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is March 23, 2013. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from January 7, 2013, you may request a meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five working days from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and project designer/consultant. NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of the proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along the property where it can be observed from a public road. Some examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting the property, or at a point along the road right- of-way where a private road would lead one into the property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application. 1367 US 17 South, Elizabeth City, NC 27909 Phone: 252-264-39011 FAX: 252-264-3723; Internet: www.nccoastalmanagement.net An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Clayton E.

Dawn M. Frost and Carol D. Tyrer Circa- Cultural Resource Management, LLC 453 McLaws Circle, Suite 3 Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 (757)220.5023 June 2012 RECEWM JAN 2 2 2013 DM-MHDCrrY MANAGEMENT SUMMARY In the spring of 2012, Bowman Consulting contracted Circa— Cultural Resource Management, LLC (Circa—) to conduct a Phase I cultural resources survey of the East Point Estates Tract in Currituck County, North Carolina. The purpose of this Phase 1 cultural resources survey was to complete an assessment and to identify and record all historic resources within the areas of high potential prior to development of the site. This survey resulted in the identification of three isolated finds, no new archaeological sites, and one ca. 1980s architectural resource, as well as one archaeological location associated with the house site with that resource. No further work is recommended for the three isolated finds or the location as they are not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The ca. 1985 camp complex is vacant and in various stages of disrepair. Further, because the camp dates to the 1980s, it is not considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemeteryfound within the camp complex dates to the early 201h century and is likely the remains of a small family cemetery of the previous owners of the property. The project design has been changed to preserve this resource in an open space. While the cemetery does not appear to be potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, Circa- does recommend that the site be marked in the field during construction activities with orange safety fencing and identified on all project maps. If the site cannot be avoided, Circa— would recommend that the cemetery be removed and relocated. The archaeological location consisted of mid to late 201h century construction debris associated with the camp complex.

The entire East Point Estates tract is approximately 36 acres, of which approximately six acres was determined to be high probability. The project area is located adjacent to the North Landing River and is bordered by a trailer park to the north, rural residential lands to the south, Marsh Causeway (Route 615) to the east, and the North Landing River to the west. 03 1 Sandy P6 V n41 y Few \ �" Aenel lme p cmv�p Y'�pini ro h [ to}amet on Network[ r �� /_l`1•±"' ' Ne0 croati0 with TOP yrlppt 2�O� id�e�.GYopnet, C r r Figure 1.

The investigation was carried out in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended) and conducted in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Documentation. The report describes fieldwork results and makes recommendations for further work. This report contains a description of the project area's physical and environmental setting, an outline of meaningful historical contexts for the property, a general research design that summarizes field methods, previous research in the areftoidmpected results, and finally, the survey results are described, the findings reviewed, and recommendations J�.`:e 2 2 2013 5 DCM-MAD C1TY explained. Field notes, artifacts, and other project records are presently being curated in Circa—'s office in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is anticipated that all of these materials will eventually be transferred to North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) in Raleigh, North Carolina following the conclusion of the project. At Circa—, Carol D. Tyrer served as Project Manager for the project. Dawn Frost served as the Principal Investigator for the project, who was assisted in the field by Carol Tyrer. Dawn M. Frost served as the Architectural Historian for the project and completed the architectural survey and historic context. Dawn M. Frost and Carol D. Tyrer prepared the report. The successful completion of the Phase I survey for the proposed development was made possible by the contribution of many individuals. In particular, Kyle Spring with Bowman Consulting ensured that project information and maps were always available for the study. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT The primary reasons for incorporating environmental studies into archaeological projects are: to learn of possible environmental constraints or lack of constraints; to determine the presence or absence of critical resources that might have influenced site distribution, etc; and to discover environmental factors -- erosion, deposition, subsidence, and historic land use patterns -- that might influence the integrity of archaeological sites once they have formed. Keeping these objectives in mind, a brief environmental summary of the project area is provided below. The project tract is located is located in the tidewater region on the Coastal Plain of North Carolina and is comprised of an overgrown field and with a fringe of hardwoods along the north and south edges. A thick grove of trees is located in the northeastern section of the project area. A single row of planted crepe myrtles screen the project area from Marsh Causeway. Several cypress and other large hardwood trees are located near the edge of North Landing River. A bulkhead and a boat landing is evident along the edge of the river. Elevations across the tract range from six feet above mean sea level (AMSL) near the river bank to 10 feet AMSL in the center of the tract before it falls to seven feet AMSL near Marsh Causeway. The site can be accessed via a gravel road off Marsh Causeway. Aerial photos from the 1990s to the present show minor changes within the project area during the last 20 years, although development has occurred around the project area during this period (Figures 2 - 9). The quarry across Marsh Causeway was opened sometime after 2006 and was in full operation by 2008.

These soil types and variants include Bojac loamy sand, 0% to 3% slopes and Tomodey fine sandy loam (Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS] 2012). Each of these types and variants are described below including references to drainage, hunting and gathering potential, and horticultural and agricultural productivity potential. Further, conclusions regarding the suitability of each for historic and Native American occupation and archaeological site probability are also explained. Soils maps and associated data provide an analysis of soil types within a geographic area. Despite comprehensive and detailed coverage of most areas by soils surveyors, researchers often miss microenvironments due to their small footprints. Unfortunately, resource rich microenvironments were often common sites of cultural activity. As such, this analysis of archaeological potential is a "best -guess" using the best available data. Well -drained, agriculturally- and horticulturally -productive soils proximal to transportation corridors -roads and rivers were the best choices for historic period occupation. Secondary areas, such as those containing wet soils and acid soils, after improvement such as drainage and liming also may have also been suitable choices for historic occupation. No navigable waterways exist within the project area, thus water travel is not a factor in the site probability analysis of this tract. Areas of wet soils may have been attractive to Native American cultures. In these areas, edible herbaceous plant species may have been gathered and faunal species browsing these areas may have been hunted with success. Well -drained soils proximal to these resource -rich areas may have made adequate hunting and gathering campsites where the hunted and gathered resources were processed. These sites would have left an observable archaeological footprint. Little archaeological evidence would be located within the wet areas, the immediate locale of resource procurement. Areas containing gravelly soils may have been especially attractive to stone tool - manufacturing Native American cultures but the level of attraction may have depended on the type and quality of the gravels available in these locations. Well -drained soils proximal to quarry -able, gravel -rich areas would have made adequate lithic material procurement campsites but in this case, archaeological materials may be located at both the campsites and the quarry sites. Soils Identified Within the Project Area Bojac loamy sand, 0% to 3% slopes (BoA) is the primary soil identified within the project area covering approximately 80% of the central portion of the project tract (Figure 10). Tomotley fine sandy loam (To) is identified within the northern and southeastern portions of the project area covering approximately 20% of the project tract. RECESVED JAN 22 "r013 DCM !1D CTTY 11 Figure 10. Project area soil map, from NRCS website. Bojac Loamy Sand Bojac loamy sand soil is a very -deep, well -drained, moderately -rapidly -permeable soil that formed in loamy and sandy fluvial and marine sediments (NRCS 2012). This soil is found on stream terraces and floodplains of the Coastal Plain. Solum thickness is 30 inches to 65 inches and depth to bedrock is over 60 inches in this extremely acid to slightly acid soil. This soil also features a slow to medium surface runoff. This soil is mostly cultivated and can support peanuts, soybeans, and corn. Where wooded, the soil can support loblolly pine, sweet gum, oak, hickory, and maple. Tomotley Complex Tomotley complex soil is a very -deep, poorly -drained, moderately- to moderately - slowly -permeable soil formed in loamy marine and fluvial sediments found on terraces of the Coastal Plain (NRCS 2012). The solum thickness ranges from 30 inches to over 60 inches and depth to bedrock is over 60 inches in this extremely acid to moderately acid soil. The content of rounded pebbled ranges from 0% to 5% throughout the solum and some pedons have a few concentrations of ironstone. This soil features a slow surface runoff. Mostly cultivated, this soil can support corn, soybeans, small grains, truck crops, and pasture. Where wooded, the soil can support loblolly pine, willow oak, yellow poplar, red maple, water tupelo, sweet gum, black gum, and water oak. Understory species include inkberry, large gallberry, southern bayberry, switch cane, blueberry, sweet bay, and American holly. RECEIVED JAN 2 2 2013 12 I)CM--LID MY ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The following section provides the Native American and historic background information necessary to assessing the archaeological potential of the proposed project area. Previous investigations in the general vicinity of the project area are outlined, while specific documents and resources employed in this survey are discussed. Historic Context Native American Sites Context North Carolina's Native American cultural chronology, like that of the rest of the Middle Atlantic region, is divided into three major periods, Paleoindian, Archaic, and Woodland, with the differences defined largely on changes in subsistence practices, settlement patterns, and types of material remains found. The three main periods reflect major changes, while "Early", "Middle", and "Late" subperiods reflect less dramatic, though significant, changes. Paleoindian Period (Prior to 10,000 B.C.) Paleoindian occupation in North Carolina, the first human occupation of the region, began some time before 10,000 B.C. The earliest diagnostic artifacts where there is any consensus are Clovis projectile points, which are typically fashioned of high -quality cryptocrystalline materials such as chert, chalcedony, and jasper. Later Paleoindian points include smaller Clovis -like and Cumberland variants, and small "Mid-Paleo" points. In the southeastern part of the state, Dalton, Hardaway -Dalton, and Hardaway side -notched points make up the later end of the Paleoindian period. Also diagnostic, though to a lesser extent, are certain types of well -made endscrapers, sidescrapers, and other formalized tools. Most current views now hold that eastern Paleoindians were generalized foragers with an emphasis on hunting. Social organization apparently consisted of relatively small bands that exploited a wide but defined territory. Isolated projectile point finds and what appear to be small temporary camps represent the majority of Paleoindian remains in North Carolina. Although some larger and very notable base camps are present in the state, they are relatively rare and usually associated with sources of preferred high quality lithic materials. Two of the most important Paleoindian sites in the eastern United States have been identified in nearby Virginia. These include the Thunderbird Site in the Shenandoah Valley (Gardner 1974, 1977) and the Williamson Site in south-central Virginia (McCary 1951, 1975). Both are large base camps associated with nearby sources of high-grade cryptocrystalline lithic materials. At the Thunderbird site area and its surrounding environs, a site typology has been formulated to include lithic quarries, quarry -related base camps, quarry reduction stations, base camp maintenance stations, outlying hunting sites, and isolated point sites (Gardner 1981, 1989). One of the earliest dated sites in North America, Cactus Hill lies in the Coastal Plain along the Nottoway River in nearby Sussex County, Virginia RNvoy and McAvoy JAN 2 2 2013 13 DCM-h4HDC1TY 1997). Although still controversial, Cactus Hill appears to have the potential to become one of the most well accepted pre -Clovis sites in the western hemisphere. Within North Carolina, the Hardaway site (31sT4) is the most significant Paleoindian site identified. This site is situated on the Yadkin River in the Uwharrie Mountains and forms the base for the Paleoindian and Early Archaic subperiod sequences defined by Coe (Coe 1964). There are concentrations of Paleoindian materials in North Carolina and, conversely, there are areas where sites and isolated finds of this early period are all but absent making Paleoindian sites far less common than all other periods of Native American prehistory. The fact that sea level rises during this period inundated much of the North Carolina coastline further hinders the identification of Paleoindian sites as it is possible that many of these sites are now submerged (Phelps 1983). While the chances of finding remains from this early period within the project area are considered low, any well -drained location, particularly where tributaries converge, is a high potential location for Native American camps and settlements in general. Therefore, considering there are several tributaries around the project area, it is possible that a site or isolated find of this period could be discovered within the project area, even though the chances are considered low. Archaic Period (8,000 B.C. —1,200 B.C.) The beginning of the Archaic period generally coincides with the end of the Pleistocene epoch, marked in this region by a climatic shift from a moist, cool period to a warmer, dryer climate. Vegetation also changed at this time from a largely boreal forest setting to a mixed conifer -deciduous forest. In eastern North Carolina, a temperate climate was established (Dent 1995). Researchers believe that increasing differences in seasonal availability of resources brought on by post -Pleistocene changes coincide with increasing emphasis on strategies of seasonally geared mobility. A band -level social organization involving seasonal movements corresponding to the seasonal availability of resources and, in some instances, shorter -interval movements is thought to primarily characterize Archaic populations. Settlement during the Archaic period probably involved the occupation of relatively large regions by single band -sized groups, living in base camps during part of the year and dispersing on an as -needed or seasonal basis, creating smaller microband camps, possibly consisting of no more than single families. The development of more specialized resource procurement activities as well as the technology to accomplish these activities also characterizes the Archaic period. These differences in the material culture are believed to reflect larger, more localized populations and changes in methods of food procurement and processing. Comer and side notching became a common characteristic of projectile points at the beginning of the Archaic period (Early Archaic subperiod), indicating changes in hafting technology and possibly the invention of the spear -thrower (atlatl). Notche include Palmer and Kirk corner -notched and, in localized areas, various side-notc ed .JAN 2 2 2913 14 DIM -MID ^.:Tf forms. A series of bifurcate base forms marked the later end of the Early Archaic subperiod and the beginning of the Middle Archaic subperiod. The Middle Archaic subperiod, ca. 6,500 B.C. - 3,000 B.C. sees the rise of various stemmed projectile point forms. In this area of eastern North Carolina, the most common Middle Archaic forms would be Stanly, Morrow Mountain, and Guilford types, followed by the side -notched Halifax type at the end of the subperiod and the transition into the Late Archaic subperiod between ca. 3,500 B.C. and 3,000 B.C. Stemmed and notched forms, including various large, broad -bladed stemmed knives and projectile points (e.g., Savannah River and variants) dominated the Late Archaic subperiod. These forms generally diminish in size by the succeeding Early Woodland subperiod. Also found, though more rarely along the margins of the Great Dismal Swamp (to the northwest of the project area), are stemmed and notched -stem forms like those generally associated more prominently with areas of Pennsylvania and adjoining parts of the northeast (Perkiomen). The Archaic period also marks the beginning of ground stone technology, with the occurrence of ground atlatl weights and celts. New tool categories developed during the Archaic period include chipped- and ground -stone celts, ground -stone net sinkers, pestles, pecked stones, mullets, and axes. Vessels carved from steatite are found on sites dating to the end of the Late Archaic subperiod. Marked increases in population density and decreased mobility characterize the Late Archaic subperiod in eastern North America (4,000 B.C.-1,200 B.C.). Because population growth necessitated a larger and more predictable food supply, agriculture probably has its origins in the Middle Atlantic region during this subperiod. Yarnell (1976), for example, writes that sunflower, sump weed, and possibly goosefoot may have been cultivated as early as 2,000 B.C. In the lower Little Tennessee River Valley, remains of squash have been found in Late Archaic Savannah River contexts (ca. 2,400 B.C.), with both squash and gourd in slightly later Iddins period contexts (Chapman and Shea 1988). Most likely, Middle and Late Archaic subperiods would be the most common types of Archaic sites found in and around the project area. Middle and Late Archaic campsites are common in the Coastal Plain, and the project area was viewed as having a moderate potential for the location of Middle to Late Archaic components representing small group, transient campsites. In most cases, such sites would not likely have National Register of Historic Places significance unless preserved features and/or unplowed subsurface deposits were present. Woodland Period (1,200 B.C. -A.D. 1600) Ceramic technology, a gradually developing dependence on horticulture, and increased sedentism characterized the Woodland period. Three subperiods (Early, Middle, and Late Woodland) have been designated, based primarily on stylistic and technological changes in ceramic and projectile point types as well as settlement patterns. Not all researchers agree on the temporal brackets for the Early and MiiW9odland subperiods. Some use the southeastern chronology where the Early Woo and subperiod JAN 2 2 2013 15 !?CNr-?, HD CITY begins ca. 1,000 B.C. and lasts to ca. A.D. 200/300. This chronology may be applicable to the southwestern portion of the state, though not to the Piedmont or Coastal Plain. Gardner (1982) initially formulated the most widely used temporal scheme in the Middle Atlantic and the one that is probably most applicable to the project area noting Early Woodland, ca. 1,200 B.C. - 500 B.C.; and Middle Woodland, ca. 500 B.C. - A.D. 900. Others elaborated on the scheme based on both artifact styles and, of perhaps more significance, perceived settlement shifts. The appearance of ceramics in the archaeological record generally defined the Early Woodland subperiod, bracketed herein at ca. 1,200 B.C. - 500 B.C. The earliest Woodland ceramic wares, Marcey Creek Plain and variants, are rectangular or oval and resemble the preceding Late Archaic soapstone vessels. In this area, these ceramics are rare and appear to be, in part, contemporaneous with similar flat -bottom vessels tempered with grog, sand, and, in some cases, shell. Variously tempered beaker -shaped vessels as well as those having more conventional sub -conical shapes follow these forms. Complexity of and emphasis on ceremonial aspects, especially those concerned with the burial of the dead, are also characteristic of the Early Woodland subperiod across a broad region of the east. In North Carolina, this emphasis is not seen until about 500 B.C. when stone and earth burial cairns and cairn clusters occur in the western part of the state; however, in spite of the mention of such mounds in both oral tradition and in older publications, most researchers generally accept that this phenomenon did not extend into the Coastal Plain. Gardner's model indicates that, around the overall project area, large and intensively occupied sites interpreted as sedentary (as opposed to seasonal) large group base camps are located in the estuarine zone/shoreline with smaller, short-term support camps located in the estuarine zone and throughout the freshwater tributary network. It is during this time that shell middens appear, indicating shellfish were an important part of the subsistence focus at this time (Gardner 1982). The succeeding Middle Woodland subperiod sees the most intensive use of these resources, and middens of this period are generally both larger and more abundant at this time. The appearance of net -marked and corded pottery that is sand -tempered, sand -and crushed -rock -tempered, and gravel -tempered marked the Middle Woodland subperiod in this area, defined herein between ca. 500 B.C. and A.D. 900. These types generally span the subperiod ca. 500 B.C. to A.D. 300, and are slightly overlapped in time by, and replaced with, the shell -tempered Mockley ware from slightly before ca. A.D. 200 to about A.D. 900 throughout the region. By the Late Woodland subperiod (A.D. 900-1600), agriculture had' assumed a role of major importance in the Native American subsistence system. The adoption of agriculture represents a major change in the Native American subsistence economy and settlement patterns. Expanses of arable land became a dominant settlement factor, and sites were located on fertile floodplain soils or, in many cases, on higj���ces or ridges adjacent to them. During this period, shell middens are still use ut t e large JU 2 2 2013 16 MI-MIM CITY habitation sites are not necessarily correlated with them. The location of Early to Middle Woodland shell middens are often re -used but mainly as short-term foray sites (Gardner 1982). By the time of initial European exploration, most of the Native American groups in the Coastal Plain shared a common culture and were subsumed within an emerging paramount chiefdom under the domain of one paramount chief, Powhatan. Some groups were direct components of the chiefdom, while others, usually those most distant, were at least allied in some manner with the paramount group (Rountree 1989). Diagnostic artifacts of the Late Woodland subperiod include several triangular projectile point styles that originated during the later part of the Middle Woodland subperiod. These styles decreased in size through time, and eventually culminated in the very small and often serrated triangles typically found on the most recent Late Woodland and early contact period villages. Late Woodland subperiod ceramics in this area include shell - tempered Townsend and Roanoke Simple Stamped types, along with plain -surfaced, shell -tempered variants. By the time of European contact, the most common pottery type in the area appears to have been Roanoke Simple Stamped and plain variants. Settlements dating to this time consist of both villages and small hamlets. Some villages were highly nucleated, while others were internally dispersed over a wide area. Some were completely fortified by circular or oval palisades, while others contained a fortified core area and outlying houses, indicating a rise in intergroup conflict. The more dispersed villages and hamlets were scattered over a wide area with indications of internally fluid settlement within a loosely defined town or village territory. Drawings and journals of early European explorers describing Indian villages indicate that houses were constructed of an oval, rectangular, or circular framework of flexible green sapling poles set in the ground, lashed together, and covered with thatch or bark mats. Burial sites of the period were situated in individual pits or in ossuaries. Such historical accounts are consistent with data obtained from archaeological excavations of Late Woodland to early historic village sites (Hodges and Hodges 1994). With the development of a more sedentary settlement -subsistence system culminating in the Late Woodland subperiod, permanent habitation sites gradually replaced base camp habitation sites more characteristic of those of the previous foragers and hunter -gatherers. Various supporting camps and activity areas were established in the day-to-day procurement of food and other resources (i.e., short-term hunting and foraging camps, quarries, butchering locations, and re -tooling locations). Locations used partially or largely for ceremonial purposes were also present, usually in association with habitation sites. The large base camps, hamlets, and villages are typically located on bluffs, terraces, or high floodplains adjacent to rivers or major tributaries. Small seasonal camps and non - seasonally based satellite camps supporting nearby sedenta%Afges and hamlets are located along smaller streams in the interior. Limited concentrations and sparse scatters J01 2 2 2913 17 CC:TY of lithics and ceramics typically characterize these campsites. As indicated earlier, shellfish -gathering sites and shell middens suggest ephemeral re -use of the earlier middens. Historic Context The first European exploration of the area now known as Currituck occurred in 1584 as Sir Walter Raleigh received a patent from the British Crown and set out to explore the New World. He would obtain two other patents in 1585 and 1587 for the same area. The first two voyages were largely exploratory, but the third included women and children who were to populate a permanent English colony on Roanoke Island. A year later, Captain Vincente Gonzales and Juan Menendez -Marques visited the area (McCartney, 1997). These men, Spaniards under the direction of the Florida government, set out to find Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists. They sailed up the west shore of the Chesapeake Bay and then traced the west coast of the Eastern Shore of Virginia and part of North Carolina. Although the men did not find the Roanoke colony, they did open the area for other colonists to follow. Soon after, another group of Spanish explorers landed and claimed Currituck Beach for Spain (Snowden 1995). However, Knotts Island, to the northeast of the project area, became the first area permanently settled by tobacco farmers moving south from Virginia. In 1663, King Charles II, under the Carolina Charter, granted eight men a vast tract known as Carolina. These Lord Proprietors would go on to set up a government establishing the inhabited part of their tract as the County of Albemarle by 1668. That same year, the men divided the County into precincts including Currituck, Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Chowan (Snowden 1995). Although the line dividing Virginia and North Carolina had been established in the land grant, by 1665, the line had moved 35 miles to the north giving North Carolina control over the earliest settlers already occupied lands on the Albemarle Sound. Communication and transportation throughout these early settlements relied heavily on water and the area quickly became dependent on the waterways as avenues for commerce (Jordan, 1974). Currituck became one of five ports operating in North Carolina during this period. Merchants used the Currituck Inlet, just south of the Virginia/North Carolina line and east of the project area, for shipping their goods. Maps drawn during this period indicate the port but show no development within the project area (Figures 11, 12, and 13). However, by the time of the American Revolution, the port had begun to dwindle, finally closing in 1828 (Snowden 1995). Maps of the area drawn in 1770 and 1775 clearly show the port, with no development within the project area at this time (Figures 14 and 15).

By Henry Mouzon, Jr. Indian V r Although farms did populate the area during the 1700s, the County continued to function as a minor port and trade center throughout the 18`' century. During the Revolutionary War, Currituck County witnessed raids on the beach and port areas as the residents worked to make supplies for the Continental Army. After the Revolutionary War, Currituck County and the port saw a slowed growth and by 1828 the port closed. This single event wiped out much of the food supply for the County as the Sound changed from a salt water to fresh water environment essentially ending the shellfish population, a major food source for the region. However, this change also created an environment that led to the development of ell -grass, wild cherry, and other plants that provided a refuge for a large number of waterfowl that would play a major role in the County's history after the Civil War. A amp drawn of the area shortly before the port closed shows the area as sparsely population with no development within the project area (Figure 16). RECEIVED Vr;222013 22 DC !- ,'LD n Ty b 3 amHr.!

Detail of 1808 Map by John Price & John Strothers By the turn of the 19th century, Currituck became known for fishing villages and gained a reputation as a sportsman's paradise (Currituck County, no date). Wealthy industrialists soon learned of the area's natural resources and began to build hunt clubs across the County. However, the Civil War would halt much of this construction. At the beginning of the Civil War, both the Union and Confederate armies eyed the Great Dismal Swamp to the northwest of the project area and the newly opened Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal. In addition to the Great Dismal Swamp serving as part of the Underground Railroad before and during the war, both armies knew that control of the canals and locks were important if they wanted to control the Albemarle Sound, Hampton Roads, and the Gosport Naval facility. However, both canals remained under Union control for most of the war (Gray and Pape, Inc. 2009, Brown 1981). Union forces invaded the Carolina coast early on in the war capturing Fort Hatteras and Fort Clark on the Outer Banks. In February 1862, they captured Roanoke Island, which became the key to the North Carolina eastern river system. A map of the area drawn during the Civil War shows no development with the project area (Figure 17). Although the Civil War devastated North Carolina killing thousands of male residents and damaging cities and transportation corridors, Currituck recovered quickly due in part to their agriculture and duck hunting industries (Snowden 1995). By the 1880s, the area was known as the premiere duck hunting region of the east coast. However, no towns or municipalities developed and the areas continued to remain sparsely populated, A map of the area drawn just after the turn of the 26h century clearly shows little development in the area and no development within the project area (Figure 18).

Today, the area continues to flourish as a small area with tourists coming to the Outer Banks and other areas. Property History Prior to 1941, J. C. Carson owned the property (Table 1). When he passed away he left the land to Annie L. Heistand. She died in February 1941 and left the land to her niece Bessie S. Gibney and her nephew Robert B. Stevens. The deed for this transaction noted that there was a cemetery site situated on the tract. The deed further noted that the grantee was to provide perpetual care for the cemetery and keep it clean and clear of weeds. Gibney and Stevens retained the property until November 1960 when they sold it to the Baptist Council of Norfolk. They retained the property until October 2006 when they sold it to Currituck 34, L.L.C, who is listed in the Currituck County real estate records as the current owners of the property. Table 1.

Figure 19. Resources within a one -mile radius of project area boundaries. Archaeological Resource Potential Native American Site Potential One previously recorded Native American archaeological site is located within one mile of the project area (Table 3, see Figure 19). This site dates to the Archaic period, the Woodland period, and the 18t1i century, 19`s century, and 20"' century. This site is classified as a limited activity area and a domestic site (31CK67). Lithic artifacts recovered from this site include stone fragments, secondary debitage, bifaces, and projectile points. Native American ceramic artifacts recovered from this site include sand -tempered fabric -impressed sherds. This site is located in State fine sandy loam soils 26 and is situated approximately five feet AMSL on a low rise on a floodplain within a cultivated area that has been heavily disturbed. The site is approximately 50,000 square meters. Given the project area's close proximity to the North River Landing and Currituck Sound the possibility of finding Native American resources is considered moderate to high. Although only one previously identified Native American archaeological site was located within a mile of the project area, the project area conditions are ideal for small transient Native American campsites. Given this information, it is possible that a Native American site, most likely a temporary camp or lithic scatter could be found within the project area boundaries. Given the previously identified site, this site would most likely date to the general Native American period or Woodland period and would range in size from under one acre to less than five acres. If a site was found within the project area, it would probably not contain many Native American ceramic artifacts. Historic Site Potential Two previously recorded historic archaeological sites are located within one mile of the project area (Table 4, see Figure 19). One site dates to the Archaic period, the Woodland period, and the 181h century, 19`h century, and 201h century and one sites dates to the 20`h century. The Archaic period, Woodland period, 181h century, 19`h century, and 2dh century site is classified as a limited activity area and a domestic site (31CK67). Historic ceramic artifacts recovered from this site include ceramic sherds. Other historic artifacts recovered from this site include glass fragments, wine bottle glass fragments, and brick fragments. This site is located in State fine sandy loam soils and is situated approximately five feet AMSL on a low rise on a floodplain within a cultivated area that has been heavily disturbed. The site is approximately 50,000 square meters. The 2Uh century site is classified as a domestic site (31CK198). Historic ceramic artifacts recovered from this site include three pearlware sherds, one porcelain sherd, one stoneware sherd, three whiteware sherds, and one earthenware sherd. Other historic artifacts recovered from this site include two cellophane fragments, one penny, 21 iron fragments, 16 plastic fragments, 10 brick fragments, one foil fragment, one light blue glass fragment, one chicken bone fragment, two aqua window glass fragments, six aqua bottle glass fragments, seven clear glass fragments, one window glass fragment, one soda can, one iron hose clamp, four mortar fragments, six shingle fragments, one unidentified fragment, one milky blue mason jar glass fragment, one fabric fragment, one nail, four light blue plastic fragments, one iron machine cog, one pale green glass fragment, one brown glass fragment, two glass fragments, six wire nails, one amethyst glass fragment, one iron bolt, 30 aqua windshield glass fragments, two clear window glass fragments, one steel washer, one shell fragment, and one black slag fragment. This site is located in Altavista fine sandy loam soils and is situated approximately five feet AMSL on an upland flat approximately 40 yards from the North Landing River. The site is approximately 25,001 to 50,000 square meters. RECEIVED JAN 2 2 2013 27 DCM-MHDCITY Table 3. Previously Identified Native American Sites Within One Mile of the Proiect Area.

Given this information, it is possible that a n historic archaeological site, most likely a domestic site could be found within the project area boundaries. Given the previously identified site, this site would most likely date to the general 19'h century or 20`h century and would range in size from under one acre to less than five acres. If a site was found within the project area, it would probably contain both ceramic and non -ceramic historic artifacts. METHODS AND TECHNIQUES Research Strategy The survey was designed to identify all cultural resources present in the project area and to obtain sufficient information to make recommendations about the further research potential of each resource based on potential eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. To accomplish this, both documentary research and archaeological field testing was performed at a level in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards (Department of the Interior 1983, 48 FR 44720-44723), as well as NC SHPO guidelines for Phase I archaeological surveys. Moreover, the field survey was conducted in compliance with statutes regarding the impact of undertakings on historic properties as summarized by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36 CFR 800 [1986]). To meet,Advisory Council on Historic Preservation standards, a Phase I archaeological survey must be conducted in "a reasonable and good faith effort to identify historic properties that may be affected by the undertaking" (36 CFR 800.4). The Phase I survey was performed and documented at a level that meets or exceeds these standards. A cultural resource is gauged to be significant if at least one of four National Register of Historic Places criteria can be applied to it: A. Associated with significant events in the broad patterns of national history; B. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; C. Representative of a type, period, or method of construction, or the work of a master; and D. Capable of yielding important information about the past. Typically, Criterion D applies to archaeological sites. In order to be capable of yielding important information about the past, generally a site must possess artifacts, soil strata, structural remains, or other cultural features that make it possible to test historical hypotheses, corroborate and amplify currently available information, or reconstruct the sequence of the local archaeological record.

Efforts were made to determine whether historic road right-of-ways passed close to the project area and whether subsurface cultural deposits were likely to be present. Data accumulated during the course of previous archival research on historic sites throughout the region also were examined. Architectural Field Methods Field survey of all historic structures was conducted according to North Carolina SHPO's survey procedures. A North Carolina SHPO site form was completed for each structure or complex 50 years of age or older, and at least one black and white one photograph taken, usually more. Archaeological Field Methods Prior to subsurface testing, the entire project area was visually inspected via pedestrian survey and all above -ground evidence of cultural activity noted and recorded. Shovel tests, approximately one -foot in diameter, were excavated at 50-foot intervals in areas of high probability. In addition, shovel test intervals were reduced to 25-foot intervals around positives and isolated positive shovel tests. Waterlogged areas, or portions of the project area with slopes in excess of 15%, were carefully examined for cultural material, but were not subjected to subsurface testing. All shovel tests were excavated according to natural levels to sterile subsoil, and all soils screened through '/a -inch wire mesh. Profiles were recorded for representative shovel tests and soil color recorded in accordance with the Munsell classification system. All positive shovel tests were recorded on standard field forms and all cultural material retained. Laboratory Methods Once removed from the field, all archaeological data and specimens were transported to Circa—'s laboratory for processing and analysis. Prior to washing, artifacts from a given provenience were first emptied into a screened basket and sorted. Items determined to be unstable will be either dry brushed or in some cases not washed and re -bagged with the appropriate provenience information. These items may include unstable organic objects, such as wood or other plant material, leather, bone, fabric, metal requiring immediate conservation, and overglaze painted delftware, and other soft -bodied ceramics such as some local wares. Stable objects will be washed with a soft brush and edges of ceramics and glass will be thoroughly cleaned to aid in the identification of body type and mending. Items will be then placed by provenience on a drying rack. In a given provenience, artifacts were sorted first by material and checked for mends. Stylistic attributes were described with current terminology and recorded by count into a database for analysis. Non -diagnostic artifacts with like attributes will be grouped together - i.e., clear, amber, etc. bottle body glass fragments, unrecogpizable nail .i"'v 2 2 2013 32 DCM-MIND CITY fragments, corroded metal fragments, and aqua window glass. Diagnostic artifacts were sorted and grouped together based on type or ware and/or vessel or function. RESULTS OF SURVEY The purpose of the field survey is to provide specific information concerning the location, nature, and distribution of archaeological resources within the permit areas. Circa- uses three types of designations for the grouping of archaeological resources: isolated finds and sites. An isolated find is defined when a limited number of artifacts are recovered from the ground surface or from shovel testing. This event may be either a casual or single -episode discard such as a projectile point or a bottle break or may be a small collection of artifacts related to various time periods, such as a projectile point from the Woodland period and a bottle fragment from the 20'h century. A location is a grouping of modern artifacts usually associated with a mid to late 20"' century standing structure. An archaeological site is defined as a grouping of artifacts that date to specific periods and that reveal the location of human activity and land use. Architectural Resources Within the project area boundaries, there is one ca. 1985 camp complex with one house/clubhouse, one concrete pad, one gazebo, three pavilions, one dock and bulkhead, two ruins, one shed, and one ca. 1916 cemetery (Figure 20). This complex is located primarily in the western portion of the project area adjacent to the river in a clearing surrounded by overgrown vegetation. The thick vegetation has begun to overtake some of the building within the complex making it difficult to discern specific construction materials in some instance. The complex is set on a relatively level grade that slopes gently toward the river. A review of historic maps and the Currituck County real estate records indicates that this complex was constructed in the mid 1980s. Given the construction materials and style of the buildings, it would appear that this date is accurate. From 1960 to 2006, the Baptist Council of Norfolk owned the property. It is possible that this complex represents a reuse of existing structures into a camp constructed by the Council to be used as a retreat and/or recreation area. The cemetery; however, dates to the early 201" century and therefore predates the complex. The cemetery most likely represents a small family cemetery of the previous owners of the property. Camp Complex House/Clubhouse This ca. 1985, one-story, multiple -bay, side -gable, concrete block building rests on a concrete block foundation (Plate 1). The roof is covered in asphalt shingles. No windows are visible on the building. The entrance on the building is not visible. There is a one-story, one -bay, shed roof, wood -frame addition attached to the side (west) elevation resting on a concrete block foundation. The addition has one exterior end Flemish bond chimney (Plate 2). The rest of the addition is not visible due to ovffgf,?&p vegetation.

The roof line on both the fagade and rear (south) elevation is supported by three square wood posts appointed white with two Flemish bond square columns in between. Dock and Bulkhead To the west of the house, there is a ca. 1987 wood dock leading into the river (Plates 6 and 7). The dock is supported by wood piers. Two wooden boat slips are situated at the end of the dock supported by wood piers. Along the shoreline there is also a ca. 1987 wooden bulkhead consisting of vertical and horizontal wood supports. One set of wood stairs flanked by wood railings lead from the bulkhead into the river. A boat ramp is evident on the northern section of the shoreline. RECENE>S ' N 22 2013 36 Plate 5.

Only two markers were visible along with one smaller boundary marker indicating the edge of the cemetery (Plates 14, 15, and 16). There is no enclosure around the cemetery. The markers are relatively plain with no other detail or ornamentation beyond the inscriptions. One marker notes the grave of Sarah Cooper and is inscribed with the following: Sarah A.

Archaeological Resources Circa— staff excavated 50 shovel tests across the project tract with the majority of shovel tests clustered on the slight high ridge in the center of the tract near the cemetery and along the edge of the river (Figure 21). Shovel tests 1 through 31 were located in the overgrown grassy field. These shovel tests revealed only minor variation in thickness and expression of horizons, and there was typically little difference between profiles recorded in these shovel tests (Plate 17). The strata represent differences in color and, in some cases, textures, and are mainly the product of post -depositional color enhancement and other effects of soil formation that is continually taking place in these more -or -less stabilized alluvial deposits, or possibly by the level of saturation within the soil on the low areas.

This horizon has developed naturally from the accumulation of organic materials, additives from farming such as lime, manure, etc., and the activities of plants, animals, insects, bacteria, etc. in a once plowed turbulent environment. Stratum A consisted of a dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) older plowzone and ranged in depth from 0.76 feet to 1.20 feet thick (Figure 22). In addition, in some shovel tests this horizon could be subdivided based on minor color gradations, for example, a one -chip lowering or increasing of value or chroma on Munsell readings. The underlying horizon or subsoil, Stratum B, was a very uniform darker yellowish brown sandy clay.

Renresentative shovel test nrofiles 46 DCW- WDCITY Shovel tests 32 through 50 were placed along the edge of the river bank around the developed areas (Plate 18). These shovel tests showed that this area had been impacted by the construction and razing of structures, roads, and utilities in the area. Stratum A consisted of either a degraded Stratum A soil roughly 0.23 to 0.31 feet thick overlying subsoil or a disturbed mix of Stratum A and B subsoil. Shovel tests 46 through 50 were excavated on the west side of the gravel road in between the road and river. Shovel tests showed that this area had been filled and subsoil was not reached. This fill probably was soil from where the bank was cut back when the bulkhead and the cut from the boat landing were constructed. The river bank on either side of the project area bulkhead is low and slopes back gently to higher ground. The riverbank within the project area appears have been filled in and built up to the level of the existing ground surface. A review of the elevations shows that the river bank on either side of the project area is at two feet AMSL and the river bank on the project site is at six feet AMSL. Location 1 Twenty-one mid to late 20`h century artifacts were recovered from 12 positive shovel tests located in this area. This material consisted of one clear bottle glass fragment, three aqua window glass fragments, three wire nails, one fencing staple, one barbed wire fragment, one bolt fragment, four aluminum foil fragments, one plastic -coated electrical wire fragment, and six concrete block fragments. This material consistedftgfL4906s associated with the structures in this area. JAN 2 2 2013 47 Isolated Finds Three isolated finds were recorded during the course of the Phase I testing. These finds were all historic and dated to the 201h century. IF-EP1 One isolated find was recovered from the eastern middle section of the project area near Marsh Causeway at the edge of the field. This positive shovel test, 4, consisted of one amber bottle glass fragment. The bottle glass fragment was from a beer container manufactured in America circa post 1960 and is probably a casual discard from the road. Radial shovel tests were excavated at 25-foot intervals to the north, south, east, and west; all were negative. No further work is recommended for this isolated find. IF-EP2 One isolated find was recovered from the eastern middle section of the project area near Marsh Causeway at the edge of the field. This positive shovel test, 22, consisted of one Coca-Cola bottle glass fragment. The bottle glass fragment was from a Coca-Cola bottle manufactured in America circa post 1970 and is probably a casual discard. Radial shovel tests were excavated at 25-foot intervals to the north, south, east, and west; all were negative. No further work is recommended for this isolated find. IF-EP3 One isolated find was recovered from the eastern middle section of the project area near Marsh Causeway at the edge of the field. This positive shovel test, 24, consisted of one 7-UP bottle cap. Radial shovel tests were excavated at 25-foot intervals to the north, south, east, and west; all were negative. No further work is recommended for this isolated find. SIGNIFICANCE EVALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Architectural Resources The ca. 1985 camp complex is vacant and in various stages of disrepair. Further, because the camp dates to the 1980s, it is not considered eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery dates to the early 201h century and is likely the remains of a small family cemetery of the previous owners of the property. The project design has been changed to preserving this resource in an open space. While the cemetery does not appear to be potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, Circa— does recommend that the site be marked in the field during construction activities with orange safety fencing and identified on all project maps. If the site cannot be avoided, Circa— would recommend that the cemetery be removed and relocated. The location associated with this resource consisted of one clear bottle glass fragment, three aqua window glass fragments, three wire nails, one fencing staple, one barbed wire fragment, one bolt fragment, four aluminum foil fragments, one plastic - coated electrical wire fragment, and six concrete block fragments. This material consisted of debris associated with the structures in this area, and therefore also not considered eligible for listing.

It was then forwarded and received at the Elizabeth City office on December 7, 2012, for State approval for the development of the referenced project. An initial screening of the submittal package has been conducted. This revealed certain deficiencies, which must be corrected before the application package can be accepted as complete. To assist you in expediting the permitting process as much as possible, I am notifying you of these deficiencies immediately so that they can be quickly corrected to facilitate my detailed review. I am returning the original application package so that the needed changes can be made, but will retain a copy so that I can commence the detailed review. Please understand that the subsequent detailed review may reveal additional areas where further information or documentation is required to demonstrate compliance with the rules directly applicable to the proposed development. If this occurs, you will be notified of such issues separately. Our initial screening has identified the following deficiencies: 1. Not all questions on the application have been answered, or indicated as "not applicable." Please address the following items: ■ Form DCM-MP-I: - Number 4(f), please include all water -dependant structures such as piers, bulkheads, boat ramps, etc... within the man-made features section. - Number 4(k), an archaeological assessment was indicated as being conducted.
