Mr. McHenry,
Thank you for contacting the Muscogee (Creek) Nation concerning the Proposed Replacement of Three Bridges
(#155, #158, and #168) in Haywood County, North Carolina. Each of these projects are located in our Tribes
historic area of interest and is of importance to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. After careful review of the
material provided, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation concurs that there should be no effects to any known
historic properties for the proposed project. However, due to the historic presence of Muscogee people in the
project area, there is always the possibility of inadvertent discoveries of cultural resources, human remains and
related NAGPRA items, etc. Even if the proposed project is occurring in areas of existing or prior development,
there is still a possibility. With that being stated, if this does occur during ground disturbing activities, the
Muscogee (Creek) Nation requests that all work in the area ceases and that our office as well as other
appropriate agencies be notified immediately. Addit ionally, if any changes take place for the project, we require
that the information is sent to us for further review. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not
hesitate to ask me.
