PROJECT INFORMATION

Project No: R-3833 County: Iredell
WBS No: 34554.1.FD1 Document: MCC
F.A. No: N/A Funding: State Federal
Federal Permit Required? Yes No Permit Type: usace

Project Description: NCDOT proposes to widen SR 1100 (Brawley School Road) to multi-lanes from I-
77 to US 21 in Iredell County. The roadway would be widened to include additional lanes, a median and
possibly bike lanes and sidewalks. The total length, which includes intersection improvements at US 21,
is estimated at 1.97 miles. While the width varies, a typical range of 100-200 feet includs most segments
and includes easements and cut or fill lines that otherwise extend beyond the ROW. For purposes of this
archaeological review, the Area of Potential Effects (APE) covers the entire length of the project and width
of final construction limits.
This is a state funded project, however, federal permitting is expected from USACE. Therefore, Section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act applies for this federal undertaking.

SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW

Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Conceptual design mapping and design was available which, combined with verbal description, provided
the basis to establish the APE. The project was viewed on topographic and aerial mapping (Figures 1 and
2). The project area is developed with modern infrastructure, driveways and parcels. Much of the APE is
assumed to be modified, disturbing the soils and archaeological context.
The Office of State Archaeology was visited to review archaeological mapping and to reference any known
archaeological surveys. Archaeological reviews in the nearby vicinity have been considered. Of particular
interest is ER 00-9912 which covers the same TIP # R-3833 which is described as "Improvements to SR
1101, Bawley School Road, from SR 1177 [River Loop Road] to US 21 with Interchange at I-77." This
review concluded that no archaeological investigation was warranted based the eroded nature of the soils,
then recent archaeological surveys in the immediate vicinity, and a nearby site consisting of a single flake,
31Id285 which was not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (see attached memo from HPO
to NCDOT dated August 23, 2000). Several other environmental reviews are noted nearby the project area,
including NCDOT survey of Gibbs Road immediately west of the current APE during which no
archaeological sites were identified (ER 00-99121, Glover April 2008).

Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
The scale of new expansion in a develeoped, disturbed context over generally eroded soils suggest that
intact, signficant archaeological sites would not be encountered by the construction of the undertaking, a
large road widening project. Background checks did not reveal any recorded significant archaeological
sites in the immediately proximity of the project. Rather, the APE for the expansion of SR 1100, Brawley
School Road, has already been reviewed by the NC HPO and OSA resulting in a recommendation that no
archaeological survey is warranted. We concur with the recommendation, noting that development and soil
disturbances has increased in the area over the past nearly two decades. No archaeological survey is
recommended for this road widening project. Should archaeological remains be encountered during
construction, contact this office for further unanticipated discovery guidance.
