PROJECT INFORMATION
Project No: B-6032 County: Jackson
WBS No: B-6032[ET12957 Document: Federal CE
F.A. No: Funding: ❑ State ® Federal
Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: USACE
Project Description: Replacement of Bridge 144 over Nations Creek on SR 1397(Thomas Valley Road)
in Jackson County,North Carolina.The archaeological Area of Potential Effects(APE)measures 600ft in
length(300ft from each bridge end-point)and 150ft in width(75ft from each side of the SR 1397 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
federally funded with federal permit interaction.As such,Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will
apply and the Federal Highway Administration(FHwA)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.The APE was primarily designed to capture any areas of
potential ground disturbing activity.
Once an APE was outlined,a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology
(OSA). No previously documented archaeological sites are located in the APE or directly adjacent.
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 no meaningful historic properties with
possible contributing archaeological elements were located inward of the archaeological APE margins. In addition,
historic maps of Jackson County were appraised to identify former structure locations, land use patterns,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confirmation of historic occupation in the project vicinity.Archaeological/historical reference materials were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 NRHP listed properties,previously
recorded archaeological sites,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(UfB, DrB)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.

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 this bridge replacement project
in Jackson County, North Carolina. Environmental and cultural-historical factors do not suggest a heightened
potential for archaeological resource recovery.The majority of the APE is characterized by land surfaces containing
disturbed fill materials.Soil data and topographic maps confirm that the APE is underlain by sloping or impacted
surfaces. Intact NRHP archaeological sites are unlikely to be present or preserved within the currently defined APE.
No further consultation is advocated.A finding of"no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate.
