17BP.12.R.78
Federal Permit Required?
County. Iredell
Document: MCC
Funding: ® State ❑ Federal

Project Description: The project involves the replacement of Bridge No. 254 on SR 1512 (Woodbridge
Road) over Third Creek in Iredell County, North Carolina. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects
(APE) measures 1,500 feet in length (750 feet from each bridge end -point) and 150 feet in width (75 feet
from the SR 1512 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 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.
Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology
(OSA) on Wednesday, August 24, 2022. No previously documented archaeological sites are located in the APE or
directly adjacent.
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
Iredell 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 Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well.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 MRCS soil survey maps (FrD2, DaA, ToD2, ToC2) 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 wlty the available inforntation provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
The entire APE is underlain by moderately eroded ground surfaces. These soil types are not considered a potential
site predictor. Significant, intact, and preserved archaeological deposits are unlikely to be present in the defined
APE. Since the current project area is situated in a sloping and eroded environment, 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.
