NO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REQUIRED FORM This form only pertains to ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES for this project. It is not valid for Historic Architecture and Landscapes. You must consult separately with the k Historic Architecture and Landscapes Group. PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: B-4624 County: Rockingham WBS No: 38411.1.1 Document: P C E F.A. No: BRZ-1929-(3) Funding: ❑ State ® Federal Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: tbd Project Description: NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 080 on SR 1929 (Estes Road) over Wolf Island Creek in Rockingham County. This is a federall funded undertaking and a federal permit is required from the USACE, therefore, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act applies. This is a low impact project,and,as such,has a minimal footprint,little new impacts,and,importantly,an offsite detour. Design was available at the time of review and establishes a clear Area of Potential Effects(APE)that can be described as about 600 feet in length and, due to a proposed construction easement,up to 100 feet wide at the bridge. The majority of the APE may be considered disturbed by the existing roadway and 60-ft ROW,bridge and associated soil disruption. For this improvement to an existing facility,the submitter provided detailed design mapping which will be attached to this form. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: Specific design mapping was available and compared to aerial and topgraphic mapping. The project area along SR 1929 passes through a largely undeveloped, wooded landscape with occasional residences and farms. The soil type present at Bridge No. 80 is Codorus loam, a frequently flooded soil sometimes considered as having a lower probability for archaeological sites due to regular wetness, though some site types may exist. Virtual drive-by was not available on Google Maps. No cemeteries were noted during the aerial viewing or on the USGS mapping at the project location. The Office of State Archaeology was visited on December 3, 2015 to review archaeological mapping and to reference any known archaeological surveys. An environmental review appeared marked at this bridge, however,no further notations were visible. Some distance away to the northeast,ER 90-8136,west of Mt. Hermon Church,was marked as an area recommended for survey,though no sites have been recorded there to date. There are no documented archaeological sites in the immediate vicinity of the current bridge replacement project. For this undertaking, the proposed bridge replacement of the existing transportation facility Bridge No. 0080, little new soil disturbance will occur with the exception of cut/fill, drainage and possible easement work beside the bridge. As much of the existing APE has been modified for the current roadway,bridge, drainage and utilities, expectations are low for encountering new archaeological sites, especially any that may be intact and significant. `No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED"form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of 4 Project Tracking No.: 15-11-0029 As a result of this review,we conclude that the likelihood of encountering intact,NRHP-eligible resources are slim based on the limited new footprint of the undertaking at the same preexisting location,and previous bridge construction disturbances. The project should be considered compliant with Section 106. No archaeological survey is recommended for this undertaking as currently proposed. 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 scale and nature of the project is limited to replacement of an existing bridge with a new structure at the same location. An offsite detour will be used. The APE of the project overlays the current transportation facility and is heavily disturbed by the original roadway and bridge construction. New impacts will be limited to work adjacent to the bridge and bridge approach. Review of background archaeological information, examination of mapping and aerials suggests lowered probability for the presence of significant, intact archaeological resources on this landform type within the APE. The APE contains frequently flooded soils. Based on the minimal changes to the footprint of construction,periods of wetness, and the degree of existing disturbances, it is unlikely that intact, significant,NRHP-eligible archaeological resources would be encountered or impacted by the project. No archaeological survey is recommended. Therefore,this federally permitted undertaking should be considered compliant with Section 106.
