PROJECT INFORMATION
Project No: Bridge 99

Federal Permit Required? // Yes [] No Permit Type: NWP3/14
Project Description: Replacement of Bridge No. 99 over Vineyard Creek on SRI 600ft 8nin leingth lay C(3ounty

each bridge end-point) and 150ft in width (75ft from each side of the SRI 168 center-line).
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Initially, permitting and funding information was reviewed for determining

or permanent easements, the APE was extended and additional 90ft beyond the the ftOf wideice Sis tie Archaeology right-of-way.
Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conductedat

a property. An inspection of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), StateStudy Listed

Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
No documented cultural resources are contained within the current APE limits for the SR1168 bridge replacement
project in Clay County, North Carolina. The APE is highly disturbed from the construction and maintenance of
SR1168 and by residential development and landscaping. In such contexts, NRHP archaeological sites are unlikely
to be present or preserved. Significant and intact archaeological deposits are not expected to be present. No
further consultation is advocated. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate for '
this state-funded construction effort.
