location in order to assess the need for further archaeological excavations.
Should the NCDOT-AT identify additional NRHP-eligible archaeological
resources during the monitoring, all work shall cease within the limits of
the NRHP-eligible resource, and D-7 and SHPO shall be contacted. If after
consultation, additional mitigation is determined necessary, the NCDOT-
AT will develop an appropriate treatment plan and upon concurrence

with the undertaking.
IV. Unanticipated Discovery

for a determination of eligibility or recovery effort. If after consultation
between the Signatories and concurring parties, additional mitigation is
determined necessary, the NCDDT, in consultation with the Signatories
