The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Highway Division 8 is requesting a Nationwide
Permit Numbers 14, for project # 8C.076131, on SR 1331 (Ridges Mountain Rd.) in Randolph County.
The proposed project will replace 3 existing deficient crossing pipe as follows:
Site 1-Replace existing 54"x 46' RCP with an 87 "x 63" x 60' CMP Arch.
Site 2- Replace existing 24"x 36' RCP with a 36" x 52' RCP
Site 3- Replace existing 60" x 40' CMP with an 81" x 59" x 60' CMP Arch
These pipes are being replaced in anticipation of a scheduled grading and paving project. The amount of total pipe
length increase for all crossings (SOft.) is needed to improved hydraulic flow, and to allow for the widening of the
roadbed to provide enough area for a safe road shoulder at the location of the crossings.
The total percentage of impervious surface within the project area will be approximately 33%. All erosion control
devices used on the project will be appropriate to the location and in compliance with the current version of the
NCDOT Best Management Practices Manual (BMP). The crossings are all located on sepazate Unnamed Tributaries
of Caraway Creek, a Class C stream within the Yadkin -PeeDee River basin. All construction activities on this
project will be done in compliance with conditions listed in the current BMP manual, for projects built within areas
of Class C streams. Construction will be done under dry conditions whenever possible. There were no threatened or
endangered species observed within the project azea during the required minimum criteria check.
There is a }Drown azcheological site associated with this project. Included in this package is a letter submitted by
NCDOT Archaeological Supervisor, Matt Wilkerson detailing the results of an archaeological survey conducted by
his staff. The result of the survey was a recommendation of no further azcheological invesfigation needed. This letter
was submitted to NC State Historical Preservation office on June 2Q 2011.
This project will require an off site detour during construction, using neaz by state roads.
If you require any additional information, please contact me.

Dear Mrs. Brown:
EUGENE A. CONTI, 1R.
SECRETARY
Subject: Archaeological Consideration for Division 8, SR 1331 (Ridges Mountain Road) N Randolph
County, North Carolina (ER # OS-1485)
NCDOT proposes to pave and grade a portion of SR 1331 (Ridges Mountain Road) in Randolph County.
This is not aFederal-Aid project, being State funded. However, under assumption that a US Corps of Arm}'
Engineers pemut may be issued, it is being treated under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Ace A letter dated September]2, 2005 from your office to Rex Badgett, NCDOT Division 8 Environmental
Officer, recommended that an archaeological survey may be appropriate.
Research conducted at the Office of State Archaeology showed that there are no known archaeological sites
within the Area of Potential Effects defined as the existing roadway and ditch lines. Two sites are recorded
nearby of interest, 31Rd555/555** and 31Rd550. Site 31Rd555/555** was investigated by NCDOT for a
bridge replacement project also along SR 1331 as it crossed Caraway Creek. Shovel testing failed to yield
roadside artifacts approaching the current project (Zinn 2002), though 31Rd555/555** was relocated during
that efEart. That undertaking, which involved a permanent drainage easement, concluded archaeological
investigations (ER # O]-7006) with a data recovery report (Webb 2006). Site 31Rdi50 is south of the current
proposed road improvement on a high spot in the adjacent Eeld. Unevaluated, the small site consisted of one
Kirk projectile point/knife and two Native American ceramic sherds as diagnostics and little else. Neither will
be impacted by this current project.
NCDOT archaeologists Shane Petersen and Brian Overton conducted a field inspection and pedestrian survey
of the APE in October 2010. No new archaeological sites were identified. All previously identified sites are
outside of the APE and will not be affected.
Since the project involves improvement [o the existing facility, the footprint of the project will be limited. The
APE has been affected by the roadbed and associated ditching, disturbing soil stratigraph}' and archaeological
integrity. The relatively minimal nature of the undertaking, paving and draining of an existing gravel facility,
combined with the small APE results in a situation that is unlikely to impact any intact, significant
archaeological sites. Therefore, we recommend no further archaeological investigation of this undertaking.
If you have any comments regarding this conclusion, please contact Brian Overton at [phone].
Sincerely,
/, P' *
