Re: Sleepy Hollow Stream Restoration, Biltmore Estate, Buncombe County, ER 23-0059
Dear Ms. Jones:
Thank you for your submission of December 21, 2022, concerning the above -referenced project. We have
reviewed the information provided and offer the following comments:
The proposed stream restoration on the Biltmore Estate National Historic Landmark involves stream
channeling, sloping, riparian planting, and in -stream construction. A portion of the area of potential effects
(APE) was previously surveyed and one archaeological site (31BN971) was identified and determined to be
not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Given the high potential for
significant historical resources to be present on this property and to ensure that no unidentified
archaeological resources are inadvertently impacted, we recommend that archaeological monitoring be
conducted during restoration in the portions of the APE where modifications to stream bank slopes take
place. The archaeological monitoring should be carried out by an experienced archaeologist who meets the
Secretary of the Interior professional qualifications.
We ask that two paper copies and one digital copy (PDF) of the resulting archaeological monitoring report,
as well as a digital copy (PDF) of the North Carolina Site Form for any sites recorded, should be forwarded
to the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) through this office for review and comment, as soon as they are
available. OSA's Archaeological Standards and Guidelines for Background Research, Field
Methodologies, Technical Reports, and Curation can be found online at: https://archaeology.ncdcr.gov/osa-
guidelines.
As proposed, the project will have no adverse effect on the Biltmore Estate (BN1835), a National Historic
Landmark.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36
CFR Part 800.
Location: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27601 Mailing Address: 4617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-4617 Telephone/Fax: [phone]-6898

ER 22-0059, January 25, Page 2 of 2
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579
or [e-mail]. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the
