No: Funding: ® State ❑ Federal Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: USACE Project Description: The project involves the replacement of Pipe#2137 on SR 1501 (Garrett Road) in Rockingham County,North Carolina.The archaeological Area of Potential Effects(APE)measures 600 feet in length(300 feet from each bridge end-point)and 150 feet in width(75 feet from the SR 1501 center-line). SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities,results of review, and conclusions: Permitting and funding information was reviewed for determining the level of archaeological input required by state and federal laws. Based on the submitted"request for cultural resources review"form,the project is state- funded with federal permit interaction.As such,Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply and the United States Corps of Engineers(USACE)will serve as the lead federal agency. Next,construction design and other data was examined(when applicable)to define the character and extent of potential impacts to the ground surfaces embracing the project locale. Because the project appears to be an in-place replacement of the structure,the APE was primarily designed to capture any federal permit area. Once an APE was outlined,a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA)on Monday, November 13,2017. No previously documented archaeological sites are located in the APE. Examination of National Register of Historic Places(NRHP),State Study Listed(SL),Locally Designated(LD), Determined Eligible(DE),and Surveyed Site(SS)properties employing resources available on the NCSHPO website is important in establishing the location of noteworthy historic occupations related to a perspective construction impact area.A cross-check of these mapped resources concluded that none of the above properties with potential contributing archaeological components are situated within or proximal to the APE.In addition,historic maps of Rockingham County were appraised to identify former structure locations,land use patterns,cemeteries,or other confirmation of historic occupation in the project vicinity.Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well. In general,the cultural background review established that no previously recorded archaeological sites, NRHP properties,or cemeteries are located within the APE. Based on cultural-historical factors,the APE is considered to have a low potential for the documentation of archaeological resources. Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps (PoE, PpD2) were referenced to evaluate pedeological, geomorphological, hydrological, and other environmental determinants that may have resulted in past occupation at this location. Aerial and on-ground photographs (NCDOT Spatial Data Viewer) and the Google Street View map application (when amenable) were also examined/utilized for additional assessment of disturbances, both natural and human induced,which compromise the integrity of archaeological sites. Environmental/impact factors do not suggest a heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery. "No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED"form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of 2 Project Tracking No.: 17-10-0019 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 entire APE is underlain by sloping(15%to 35%)and moderately eroded soils.The APE is unlikely to contain significant,intact,and preserved archaeological deposits eligible for NRHP inclusion.As currently proposed as a state-funded project with federal permit interaction,no further consultation is advocated.A finding of"no archaeological survey required"is considered appropriate.
