Project Description:This undertaking involves adding an intersection at the intersection of SR 1770
(Sunset Avenue) with I-95, in Nash County. The project will include new ramps for the highway, and
improvements to travel lanes that will taper further along the connecting roads. New ROW is expected
and the limits of the old and new ROW and construction easements are the working APE.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Aerial mapping and topography was examined. Virtual drive-by inspections were unavailable (ex.
Google Maps street view). Records at the Office of State Archaeology were reviewed. USGS quadrangle
mapping depicting previously reviewed areas and site locations was copied. Site Ns7 was recorded in
1961 as adjacent, but not tangential, to the project near the intersection with North Old Carriage Road, SR
1603. There is an archaeological review on record, ER 07-1170 which cleared archaeology with a “no
comment” letter. Consultation with the OSA provided review notes which show that Ns7, documented
from second hand information, was considered but didn’t warrant investigations based on the presented
APE.
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 construction of an interchange and associated travel lane improvements. Much
of the APE is massively disturbed by existing interstate highway, other roads and commercial
development. Previous reviews cleared archaeology, noting Ns7; the expansion of length in travel lanes
does not contest that conclusion. Combined, these factors suggest that undocumented, significant
archaeological sites are unlikely to be located or affected within the APE.
