Project Description: Improve intersection of US 70 (South Church St.) at SR 1226/SR 1311
(University Dr.) in Burlington in Alamance County. Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.) is
approximately 1,919 meters (6,296 ft.) long and 60 meters (197 ft.) wide. The project is State -
funded, will require Federal permits, and will require easements.
NOTE: This project was originally reviewed in 2017. A No Archaeological Survey Required
form was submitted on 11/9/2017. At that time the project did not require Federal permits. The
permit status recently changed and will require a Federal permit. The recommendation remains
the same, but this form replaces the 11/9/2017 form.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The review included an examination of a topographic map (Gibsonville, N.C.), an aerial
photograph, and listings of previously recorded sites, previous archaeological surveys, and
previous environmental reviews at the Office of State Archaeology (O.S.A.). US 70 is oriented
approximately east -west, and SR 1226/SR 1311 is oriented approximately north -south.
The topographic map shows the landform in the A.P.E. is a ridge top. US 70 crosses an
unnamed stream near the west end, and the A.P.E. includes ridge toes on each side of the stream.
The high ground overlooking the stream appears to be moderately- to steeply -sloped, and has a
low to moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. The A.P.E. is located in a
developed part of Burlington. The east half of A.P.E. is shaded purple and shows little
topographic detail, indicating it is a developed area.
The aerial photograph shows the landuse in the A.P.E. is mostly developed. The east end
appears to be occupied by parking lots and commercial buildings. The area to the east of SR
1226/SR1311 appears to be residential yards and driveways. The west end is a mix of
undeveloped and residential yards and driveways.
A review of information at the O.S.A. shows no previously recorded archaeological sites within
or adjacent to the A.P.E. The A.P.E. has not been previously surveyed for archaeological sites.
The A.P.E. is not within any projects that have been reviewed by the State Historic Preservation
"No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEYREQUIRED " form for Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement.

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 A.P.E. is located on a ridge top in a developed part of Burlington. The aerial photograph
shows the A.P.E. is mostly developed land. There are no previously recorded sites within or
adjacent to the A.P.E.
