Aid No: Funding: X State Federal Federal X Yes No Permit USACE Permit(s): T e(s): Project Description: Replace Bridge No. 141 on SR 1005 (Greensboro Chapel Hill Road) over Wells Creek (off-site detour, no improvements planned). SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW Description of review activities, results, and conclusions: HPOWeb reviewed on 9 May 2022 and yielded no NR, LD, DE, SL, or SS properties in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). The APE extends 300 feet to either side of existing Bridge No. 141 (E-W) and 200 feet to either side of the SR 1005 (Greensboro Chapel Hill Road) centerline (N-S). Alamance County current GIS mapping, aerial photography, and tax information revealed an APE of woodland and cultivated fields, containing above-ground resources dating from the 1910s to the 1950s (viewed 9 May 2022). Constructed in 1950, Bridge No. 141 is neither aesthetically nor technologically significant according to the NCDOT Historic Bridge Inventory. The NE quadrant of the APE intersects a large (about 29-acre) parcel on which stand a circa-1910 "foursquare" house and several outbuildings dating to the first half of the twentieth century, as well as a farm landscape of fields, orchards, hedges, fenced pastures, and woodland. (#1105 W. Greensboro Chapel Hill Road, PIN: 8768 53 2110 — see attached). This small, unrecorded farmstead — now identified as the McPherson Farm (AM2862) -- warranted full evaluation to determine its eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The comprehensive county architectural survey (1980), publication (Carl Lounsbury, Alamance County Architectural Heritage(Alamance Historic Properties Commission)), as well as later studies recorded no properties in the APE. County GIS/tax materials and other visuals, like Google Maps"Streetview,"clearly illustrated the relative placement of the resources and the proposed work, which indicated the need for field investigation and NR eligibility evaluation of the property noted above. The project will be reviewed for compliance with both GS 121-12(a) and Section 106. NCDOT engaged WSP USA, Inc. to prepare an eligibility evaluation for the property noted above; findings and an eligibility recommendation are presented in a September 2022 report on file at NCDOT—Historic Architecture and NCHPO. The study finds that the McPherson Farm (AM2862) meets National Register requirements (see attached NR boundary map). NCHPO agreed with the findings in January 2023 (memorandum forthcoming). An effects consultation with HPO and USACE is required under Section 106 to determine how the proposed project may or may not affect the NR-eligible resource, and is scheduled for January 26, 2023.

Tree/vegetation removal will be minimal, and the existing ROW on the McPherson Farm (north) side of-SR 1005 (Greensboro Chapel Hill Road) maintained. The new structure will be less visually evident than the present bridge, and its location at the extreme NW corner of the McPherson Farm is screened from the farmstead proper by the existing woodland and intervening fields and pastures. The new structure will not compromise any contributing element of the historic property. List of Environmental Commitments: None. SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION X Map(s) ❑Previous Survey Info.
