Federal Permit Required?

Project Description: The project involves the replacement of Bridge No. 81 on SR 1926 (Hannah's Ferry
Rd) over Deals Creek in Rowan 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 1926 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 Army 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 or construction footprint within
the proposed 150ft wide right-of-way (ROW).
Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology
(OSA) on Friday, June 9, 2017. No previously documented archaeological sites are located in the APE or directly
adjacent. One archaeological site was recorded a short distance north of the project area. However, the site is
characterized by the recovery of a single artifact (flake) from eroded soils. No other archaeological sites are in the
vicinity, probably due to the absence of landform and underlying poorly drained ground surfaces.
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
Rowan 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 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 (ChA) 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:
The entire APE is underlain by frequently flooded and somewhat poorly drained soils. Furthermore, the lack of
landform presence would have likely discouraged historic or prehistoric settlement/occupation at this location.
Intact and preserved archaeological deposits eligible for the NRHP are unlikely to be present in the defined APE.
Since the current project area is situated in a frequently flooded area very near to the Yadkin River, the APE is
considered to have very low archaeological site potential. 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.
