PROJECT INFORMATION

Project No: Str. #160106 County: Caswell
WBS No: 17BP.7.R.19 Document: LIBR/PCE or MCC
F.A. No: Funding: State Federal
Federal (USACE) Permit Required? Yes No Permit Type: NW 3 or NW 14

Project Description: This undertaking involves replacing Bridge No. 106, in kind, with a new structure
over Burkes Creek on SR 1156 (Oak View Loop Rd). This project’s Area of Potential Effects includes
75ft to either side of the bridge and 300 ft from each end, allowing for on-site detours or variant
replacement designs, if necessary. However, only minor ditch line impacts are anticipated. The entire
APE is to be considered for archaeological assessment, though as a replace in-place project, the review
focuses on the existing 60 ROW plus a reasonable construction easement.

SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW

Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Aerial mapping and topography of this rural location was examined. Records at the Office of State
Archaeology were reviewed. USGS quadrangle mapping depicting previously reviewed areas and site
locations was copied. No previously documented archaeological sites were noted, nor were there any
environmental reviews in the nearby area. Hi resolution aerial photography shows recent active logging
on the SE quadrant, leaving deep ruts, a small retaining pond and erosion. For this project, much of the
APE has been modified by the existing bridge construction and road, and logging. Expectations that an
intact or otherwise significant archaeological resource might be impacted are low for this replace in place
project.

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 undertaking involves replacing an existing bridge in-kind. No archaeological sites have been
recorded and documented with the Office of State Archaeology. This is a relatively small undertaking.
Much of the APE has been disturbed by the existing transportation feature, bridge No. 106 on SR 1156.
These factors suggest that undocumented, significant and undisturbed archaeological sites are unlikely to
be impacted within the APE.
