Project Description:
Improve the intersection of NC 21 and SR 2697 (Catawba Avenue) in Mecklenburg County.
The Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.) is approximately 1,412 meters (4,634 ft.) long with a
variable width. The project includes the construction of two roundabouts on US 21. The project
is Federally -funded and will not require Federal permits. No easements will be required.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The review included an examination of a topographic map, an aerial photograph, and listings of
previously recorded sites, previous archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews
at the Office of State Archaeology (O.S.A.). NC 21 is oriented north -south and SR 2697 is
oriented east -west.
The topographic map (Cornelius) shows the A.P.E. is located in a developed part of Cornelius
and is shaded purple. The shaded area shows less detail about topography and land use. The
landform within the A.P.E. appears to be a ridge. There are no streams in the A.P.E. Ridge
landforms have a low to moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological sites.
The aerial photograph shows that most of the A.P.E. is developed. The west side of US 21 is
developed. There are two areas aloniz the east side of US 21 that are wooded.
A review of information at the O.S.A. shows no previously recorded archaeological sites within
or adjacent to the A.P.E. Most of the A.P.E. is within an area that has been reviewed by the State
Historic Preservation Office (HPO). It is a large tract along the east side of Interstate 77. the
symbol (lines drawn across the tract) indicates that an archaeological survey was recommended.
There is no indication that the survey was conducted or that a report was written. The tract does
not appear to be labeled with an ER number, although it may be ER 06-2896.
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 landforms within the A.P.E. have a low to moderate potential for archaeological sites. Much
