Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the above project pursuant to Chapter
74, Article 7 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
Because of the location and topographic situation of the proposed project area, it is unlikely that any
archaeological sites which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be
affected by the proposed borrowing. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be
conducted in connection with this project.
While we note that this project review is only for a state permit, the potential for federal permits may
require further consultation with us and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579.
