Replace Bridge No. 76 on SR 1326 (Tusquitee Road) over Peckerwood Brancl�
Clay Counry
WBS �lemeut No. 17BP.14.R.88
(DWR Minm• Permit ree $240)
Dear Ms. Beckwith:
The North Carolina Depa�tment of Transpo�tation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace the subject
bridge. Tl�e pwpose of the project is to replace the deteriorated and fiuictionally obsolete 25' W x
21' L single span timber stnicture with a 20'6" W X 7'3" H x 40' L aluminuro bot culvert on a
62° degree skew and 1.2% sfope. Tlie culveit inlet, mid-point, and outlet will liave 2' H sills witli
8'x P notches to help retain stream bedload, maintaiii a base flow chaunel width, and facilitate
fish passage. Traffic will be temporarily detoined off-site dwing construction.
Enclosed are a PCN applicltion, preliminaiyjurisdictional form, SHPO forms, culvert avoidance
and minimization fams, Division of Ntitigation Services mitigation acceptance letter, plan sheets
showing the proposed work, a marked viciniry map, a USGS quad map, photographs, and other
supporting project infonnation.
Tl�e Noi4h Carolina Natural Heritage Program lists 38 species for Clay County that have federal
status and that are kuown from current or historical records. One species, the bald eagle
(Hnlineetus /er�coce�halr�s), retains special protection under flie Bald and Goldei� Eagle
Protection Act. The bog turtle (Gl��ptemys nuJ�lenbergii) is listed as threatened due to similariry
of appearance to the northern bog tmtle. Tl�e sicklefin redliorse (dlo.�ostomn sp. 2) is designated
as a candidate species. Three species, the green pitcher plant (Srn•racenin oreopJril��), rock gnome
licheu (Gy�uo�7oclernu� lineore), and the northern long-eared bat (NLEB, dlyoiis septenh�ronnlis)
are knowu from current records and �re listed as endangered or threatened. According to die
USFWS, Clay County is considered occupied or potential sununer ra»ge for Indiana bats.
The green pitcher plant is only fowid in a couple of wetland featui•es in Clay County. Ho�vever,
there �re uo wetlauds near tlie bridge.
The rock gnome lichen is usually found on rock faces at relatively high elevation, though it can
be found at lower elev�tions on cliffs that receive seepage from overlying soil during wet periods
aud on damp rock faces in river gorges. The bridge site is only about 1,920 feet in elevatiou and
not in a river gorge. Also, tliere are uo rock faces nearby that could support rock g��ome lichen.

Bridge No. 76 Page 2 April 11, 2016
NLEB and Lidiana bats winter in caves or mines with stable, but not freezing, cold temperahires.
This project only involves a small bridge replacement, so construction work will not extend far
from Nie esisting right-of-way into areas where caves could occur. There are no caves or mines
visible near the bridge and, according to USGS data, the nearest underground mine is over 5
miles a�vay. Therefore, hibernating Indiana bats and NLEB will not be affected by the project.
In summer, Indiana bats and NLEB generally roost on structures or under the loose bark of trees,
either dead with peeling bark or cavities, or live trees with shaggy bark such as wliite oak,
maples, sycamore and hickories. There were no roosting bats or any evidence of bat usage (i.e.
staining or guano) on the bridge during tlie scoping visits. The structure is only a fe�v feet (<6')
above the water suiface and very cool underneath. The construction work should not require tree
clearing and there are no known NLEB liibernacula or maternity roost trees within 0.25 mile or
150 feet, respectively, of the bridge site. Therefore, the project shoidd be consistent with
esceptions for incidental take ouHined in the NLEB Final 4(d) rule. And, with no tree removal,
the project should have no effect on Indiana bats as well.
The project is limited in scope to a bridge to culveit replacement project on the esisting alignment
and using an off-site detour. Erosion and sedimentation control measures �vill be used to
minimize adverse effects of the construction work on downstream aquatic resources. Habitats for
listed species are absent at the project site and none of tliese species �vere observed during site
visits. For these reasons and those listed above, we recommend that a"no effecP' determination
for listed species apply to this project.
This project was reviewed by NCDOT's Human Enviromnent Unit in 2014 for potential effects to
historical architecture and archaeology. It was determined that a survey was not required for
historical architecture, but a survey was conducted for archeological resom�ces with a final
deteimination of no resources present or affected (see attaclied foims).
NCDOT best management practices will be used to minimize and control erosion and
sedimentation on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measares
daily to ensure erosion and sedimentation are being controlled effectively. If the devices are not
functioning as intended, they will be replaced immediately with better devices.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Peckernood Branch (DWQ Class: C Tr) is shown on the USGS topographic map as a perennial
stream. The channel is well defined with a substrate of gravel, sand, and silt. The stream has
sufficient Flow to support fish and other aquatic life. Peckenvood Brancli flows approximately
0.1 mile to Tusquitee Creek. Tusquitee Creek then flows approximately 4.1 miles to the
Hiwassee River. The Hiwassee River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For
these reasons, we believe Peckenvood Branch is a Relatively Permanent Water and is under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Co�ps of Engineers. In order to wnstn�ct the project, it will be
necessary to impact waters of the United States in the Little Tennessee River Basin (HUC
06020002). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to replace Bridge No. 76 with an aluminum box
culvert. Listed below is a summaiy of the proposed impacts.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWAjurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there `may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
later iurisdictional determinations.

Brief descriplro�i of renieiv ncli��i�ies, resu7ls of renieiv, nnrl conchrsrmis:
Bridge No. 76 is uortlieast of Hayesville andjust south of Tusquitee Creek in the center of Clay County,
North Carolina. 1'he project area is ploucd near tlie eastern cclge of the Hayesville USGS 7.5' topographic
quldrangle(Figurc 1).
A m�p review and site file searcl� was conducted at the Office of State Arcl�aeology (OSA) on Febru�ry
20, 2014. No previously rccorded archaeological sites have been ideutified �vithin or adjacent to die APE,
but tln�ee luio�vi� sites (31 CY26, 31 CY27, aiid 31 CY32) l�ave been reported �vithin Ihe vicinity.
According to the North Carolina State Historic Preseivation Oftice ouli��e data basc (IiPO WEB 2014),
ihcre are no know�i l�istoric architechiral resourccs within the APE that may yield intact archaeological
deposits. Topograpliic maps, USDA soil sinvcy uiaps, aerial photograpl�s (NC One Map), and hisloric
maps (North CaroGna maps website) werc utilized to gzge envu�oumental and cultural variables that may
liave contributed lo prclvstoric or historic settlemeut within the project Limits and to assess the level of
grouud dishubancc.
Bridge No. 76 aud Tusquitee Creek Road cross Peckerwood Brancl� northeast to southwesL Peckerwood
Branch joins �vith'Tusquitee Creek �pproximately 45 m(ca. 148 ft) nortl��vest of tlie bridge. These
waterwnys nrc part of the Hi�vassee drauiage basin. Most of tlie project area resides along �he
Pecker�vood Brancl�/Tusquilec Creek floodplain, but tl�e �vestern end of the APE falls along a toe slope
(Figure 2)_ Ope�� pastures are found iu each of tlie quadrants along with a residential lawn to Ihe
south�vest. Grouud disturbauce appears miiwn�l �vith more moderate to heavy soil erosion ncar tlie
drainages. Distui�bance from farm ��ehicles is also presmit along the fenee-lines and stream. It is also
possiblc that the channels for Pcckenvood Brauch aloiig with a small unuamed tributary southwest of the
bridgc have beei� modifed to provide relief from Floodiug and/or to acconuuodate the Tusquitee Creek
Road.

According to the USDA soil survey map, the APE encompasses three soil types (see Figure 2). The
floodplain consists of Rosman finc sandy loam (RsA). Tlvs is a well drained soil with a slope of Icss than
2 perccnt It is subject [o frequent flooding for short periods, but it is typically dry. Tlie toe slope
covsists of Tate loam (ThC). Tlus series is also well drained, bnt has a slope of 8 to 15 percent. Both soil
types have the potential of producing archaeological sites dne to being diy, fairly level, and close to fresh
watec They also have the potential of containing intact cultural deposits due to tl�e possible presence of
lightly disturbed soils. As a result, il is recommended that subsurface testing be conducted on these soils,
The fi��al soil type is the Evard-Cowee complex (EvD). Tlris series occupies only a minor area on the
residential lawn. Tl�ese are well drained loamy soils �vith a slope of 15 to 30 percent Subsurface testing
is not necessary for this series, since it is unlikcly for significant deposits to be found on slope of 15
percent or more.
A review of the site £les show that at least two large scale arcl�aeological investigations have been can•ied
near the bridge. These investigations have resulted in the identification of three nearby sites (31 GY26,
31 CY27, and 31 CY32). However, 31 CY32 is now considered part of 31CY27. The surronnd area was
first investigated during the University of Norlh Carolina at Chapel Hill's (UNGCH) Cherokee
Archaeological Project in 1964. All three sites were reported at tivs time along with a number of other
sites along Tusquitee Creek. The area was investigated a second time during the Upper Hiwassee River
Survey by Westein Caralina University in 1975. It is thought that site 31CY27 was enlarged to
encompass 31CY32 aRer this survey. All three sites are located east of Bridge No. 76 at nearby Bridgc
No. 12, which crosses over Tusquitee Creek by way of Downing Creek Road (SR 1325). The sites
consist of ceramics and lithic material from an unidentified prehistoric period. Site 31 CY32 is thc
reported location of a Native American mound that was destroyed prior to UNGCH visit. Local
residences also claim that a Native American village was situated west oF these sites, but this has never
been confirmed. The known sites are situated on Tusquitee Creek's floodplain and levees. Soils are
composed of Delhvood gravelly fine sandy loam (DgB; 0 to 5 percent slope) and Reddies loam (RhA; 0
to 3 percent slope). Eligibiliry for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) has yet to be assessed
for any of the sites. Ald�ough it is likely the current project area was included during the previous studies,
subsurface testing would not have been carried out. Sites were identified by surface inspections and Iocal
informants. As a result, further snbsurface testing is recommended for projects along the Tusquitee
floodplain due to the high potential of buried sites not previously identified.
A historic map review was also conducted. Most early maps prior to the 20th century provide few details
conceming the project area. One of the earliest in wluch an approximate location can be determined is
the 1837-1838 U.S. Army survey map (Figure 3). Tlris map was produced nnder the guidance of Major
W.G. Williams in preparation for the removal of the Clierokee Indians. Although Tusquitee Creek is
illushated, Peckerwood Branch is not. Nor are any structures shown near the approximate location.
According to Brett Riggs's 1996 Removal Period Cherokee Households m�d Conimeu�ities in
Soulhiieslern Na9Jr Cm•olinn (1835-1838) report, at least five 19th cenhiry Historic Cherokee
households or individuals resided along Peckerwood Brancb. This nnmber comes &om William Welch
and Nimrod JarretPs appraisals of Cherokee properties conducted in 183G-1837. This work was carried
out under Article 9 of the Treaty o£New Echota, wluch states:
...The United Slates agrees to make an appraisement of the value of all Cherokee improvements
and ferzies...The Tndians shall be funtished wi[h sufficieN funds for Iheir removal, and the
balance of their dnes shall be paid them at the Cl�erokee Agency west of the Mississippi (Charles
Royce, 1887. Tlie Cherokee Nation of Indians. Fij1N Annun! Report, Bureau of F,�nerican
Ethnology. Smithsonian Institution, Nashington, D.C.).
These household likely formed a small kin-based hamlet that suirounded the Peckerwood family
holdings. The locations of these households l�ave yet to be determined by past arcl�aeological
investigations. In addition, other undocumented Che�rokee farmsteads are also likely present along the

drainage. The next detailed map of the project area is not published nntil the early 20th century. The
1906 USGS Nautahala topog�aphic map plots Tusquitee Creek and Peckerwood Brancli, but no crossing
or road similar to the current Tusquitee Creek Road are shown (Figure 4). The nearest road is a
predecessor to Downings Crcek Road to the east, which runs the length of Peckerwood Branch.
Unfortunately, this map displays no sh�uctures. By the 1930s, maps sucli as the 1935 Soil Survey for Clay
County sho�v a more modern picture of the area (Figure 5). Tusquitee Creek Road with its crossing over
Peckerwood Brancli are illustrated at the location of tlie cun�ent bridge. A structure is also plotted to the
southeast, which corresponds with the current liouse just outside of the APE. Although the map review
show no historic structures withi� the APE, the reported presence of 19th century Cherokee fannsteads in
the area especially along Peckerwood Branch which have not been identified suggest that subsurface
testing is needed.
A preliminary background investigation suggests that additional work is needed �vithin the proposed
project area. The property along Tnsqaitee Creek is known to have been settled by the Cherokee with
numerous farmsteads along the creek and its tributaries. The land£orms and soils are rypically well suited
for early settlement activities since they are dry, fau�ly level, and close to fresh water. Also, the presence
of minimally dis[urbed soils in an area known for high occupation suggests the possibility of intact bnried
deposits. Additional work in Uie form of a recoru�aissance and Seld survey is recotmnended in order to
record possible archneological sites that might be impacted by the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 76
in Clay County.

Brief rlescription of revieiv nctivi(ies, restdts of re��ieiv, nnrl conclusia�is:
Bridge No. 76 is northeast of Hayesville and just south of Tusquitee Creek near the centcr of Clay
County, North Carolina. The project area is plotted close to the eastern edge of the Hayesville USGS 7.5'
topographic quadrangle (Figure 1). — ii,�Sri3 i.o-�
A map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State .Archaeology (OSA) on February
2Q 2014. No previously recorded archaeological sites have been identified within a� adjacent to the APE,
but three known sites (31 CY26, 31 CY27, and 31 CY32) have been reported within the vicinity.
According to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office online data base (HPOWEB 2014),
there are no known historic �rchitectural resources within the APE tliat may yield intact archaeological
deposits. Topogaphic maps, USDA soil survey maps, aerial photogaphs (NC One Map), and historic
maps (Nor[l� Carolina maps website) were utilized to gage enviromnental and cultural variables that may
have conlributed to prehistoric or historic settlement within the project Gmits and to assess the level of
gound disturbance. M archaeological reconnaissance and field survey was can•ied out on March 18,
2014, to further assist in evaluating the project area.
Bridge No. 76 and Tusqui[ee Creek Road cross Peckerwood Branch northeas[ to southwest. Peckerwood
Branch joi��s with Tusquitee Creek approximately 45 m(ca. 148 ft) north�vest of the bridge. These
waterways are part of the Hiwassee drainage basin. Most of the p�oject area resides along the
Peckerwood BranchlTusquitee Creek floodplain, but tlie western end of the APE falls along a toe slope
(Figure 2). Open pasture is foimd to the south and southeast of the bridge (Pigures 3 and 4), while a
residential property is to the southwest (Figure 5). North of the road and bridge are Tusquitee Creek and
a small landscaped garden (Figures 6 and 7). According to the property owner, tlie laudform to Il�e north
consisis mostly of 511, which was dumped with modern trash in order to raise the floodplain to help
alleviate tlooding. Soil erosion is also heavy to the northwest �viih subsoil exposed at the base of the toe
slope and alongside Peckenvood Branch to the southeast. Overall, grouud disturbance is minimal in the
pasture, but severe elsewhere. Other than soil erosion and fill, ground disturbance from farm vehicles and
livestock is also present along the fence-lines and sheam. Lasily, the chanuels for Peckerwood Branch
along �vith a small unnamed tributary southwest of Ihe bridge l�ave been modified to provide relief from
flooding and to accommodate the Tusquitee Creek Road (see Figure 4). This was con6rmed by the
praperty owncr.
According to the USDA soil survey map, the APE encompasses three soil types (see Figure 2). The
floodplain consists of Rosman fine sandy loam (RsA). Tl�is is a well drained soil with a slope of less than
2 percenL lt is subject to frequent flooding for short periods, bnt it is typically dry. The toe slope
consisls of Tate loam (ThC). This series is also well drained, bul has a slope of 8 to 1 S percent. Botli soil
types have the potential of producing archaeological sites due to being dry, fairly level, and close to fi�esh
water. As a result, it was recommended tliat subsurface testing be conducted on these soils. The �nal soil
type is the Evard-Cowee complex (EvD). This series oceupies only a minor area on Uie residential lawu.
These are well drained loamy soils with a slope of I S to 30 percenL Since it is unlikely for significant
deposits to be found on slope of I S perceut or more, no subsurface testing was necessary for this series.
A review of the site 6les show that at least hvo large scale archaeological investigations have been carried
near the bridge. These investigations have resulted in the identification of tiuee nearby sites (31CY26,
31CY27, and 31CY32). However, 31CY32 is now considered part of 31CY27. The surround area was
first investigated during the University of Norih Carolina at Chapel Hill's (IJNGCH) Cl�erokee
Archaeological Project in 1964. All three sites were reported at this time along with a number of other
sites on Tusquitee Creek. The area was investigated a second time during the Upper Hiwassee River
Survey by Wesiern Carolina University in 1975. It is thought that site 31CY27 �vas enlarged to
encompass 31 CY32 atter this survey. All three sites are located east of Bridge No. 76 at nearby Bridge
No. l2, wl�ich crosses over Tusquitee Creek by way o£Downing Creek Road (SR 1325). The three

lmown sites wnsist of ceramics and lithic material from an uniden[ified prehistoric period. Site 31 CY32
is also the reported Iceation of a Native American mound that was destroyed prior to LINGCH visit.
Local residences claim that a Native American village was situated �vest of these sites, but this has never
been wnfu�med. The sites are siluated on Tusqnitee Creek's floodplain and levees. Soils are composed
of Dellwood gravelly fiue sandy loam (DgB; 0 to 5 percent slope) and Reddies loam (RhA; 0 to 3 percent
slope). Eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) l�as yet to be assessed for any of
the sites. Although it is likely the current project area was included during these previous studies,
subsurface lesting would not have been can•ied out. Sites were identificd by surface inspections and local
informants, before they were tested. As a result, subsurface testing was recommended for the project
along the Tusquitee floodplain due to the high potential of buried sites not previously identified.
A historic map review was also couducted prior to the recounaissance ai�d field survey. Most early maps
before Ihe 201h century provide few details concerning the project area. One of Ihc carlicst in wluch an
approximale location can be determined is tl�e 1837-1838 U.S. Army survey map (Figure 8). This map
was produced under the guidance of Major W.G. Williams in preparation for the removal of the Cherokee
Indians. Alfhough Tusquitee Creek is illustrated, Peckenvood Branch is not. Nor are any structures
shown near [he approximate location. According to Brett Riggs's 1996 Renro��nl Period Cherokee
Ho��seholds nied Camiuu�ilies in SouUnveslern Na•Nr Cnro/iiia (I835-1838) report, at least five 19th
century Historic Chcrokee households or individnals resided along Pecker�vood Braneh. Tlus number
comes from William Welch and Nimrod Jarrett's appraisals of Cherokee properties conducted in 1836—
1837. Tlris �vork was can�ied out uuder Article 9 of the Treaty of New Echota, which states:
...'Ihe United States agrees to make an appraisemen[ of the value of all Cherokee improvements
and ferries...17�e Indians shall be furnished wilh sufficient fimds for their removal, and the
balance of their dues shall be paid Ihem at the Cherokee Agency west of tlie Mississippi (Charles
Royce, 1887. The Cherokee Nation of Indians. Fijlh Arou�al Repav, Bureau of American
Et(wology. Smithsonian Listitution, Nashington, D.C.).
These household likely formed a small kin-based hamlet that surrounded the Peckerwood family
holdings. The locations of Ihese households have yet to be detennined by archaeological investigations.
In addition, other undocumented Cherokee farmsteads are also likely present along (he drainage. The
nexl detailed map of the project area is not published until the early 20th century. The 1906 USGS
Nanlahala topographic map plots Tusquiiee Creek and Peckerwood Brancli, but no cirossing or road
similar to the current Tusquitee Creek Road are shown (Figure 9). Tl�e nearest road is a predecessor to
Dorvnings Creek Road to the east, which runs the length of Peckerwood Branch. Unfortunately, [his map
displays no structures. By the 1930s, maps such as the 1935 Soil Survey for Clay County show a more
modern picture of the area (Figure 10). Tusquitee Creek Road with a crossing over Peckenvood Branch
are illustrated at tl�e location of tl�e current bridge. A structure is also plotted to the southwest, which
con�esponds with the current house just outside of the APE. Allhough thc map review show no historic
strttctures witl�in the APE, the reported presence of 19th century Cherokee farmsteads in the area along
Peckerwood Branch suggest that subsurfacc testing is needed.
The archaeological field investigations at Bridge No. 76 consist of hvo shovel test placements (STPs) in
the southeast quadrant and a surface inspec[ion. The STPs were excavated 30 m(ca. 98 ft) apart within
(he pasture along the floodplain (see rigures 2 and 3). The soil stratigraphy consisis of hvo layers. The
upper layer or plowzone is a dark yellowish brown (lOYR 3/4 or 4/4) loamy sand that is approximately
40 to 45 cm (ca. 16 to I S in) thick. Tl�is is followed by either a layer (subsoil) of strong bro�vn (7.SYR
4/6) sandy clay loam (hat extends at least 60 cm (ca. 24 in) below the surface or a l�ydric black (IOYR
2/I) loam. The sandy clay loam is present in the western STP, while the black hydric soil is to the east.
The presence of Ihe hydric soil below Ihe plowzone most likely represents a former �vet area that has been
£Iled in. No cultural material was recovered fi�om either of the STPs. Sl�ovel tests were not placed north
of thc road since tliis area consisfs of fill or has been subject to heavy soil erosion (see Fig�re 6). The

eroded roe slope to the far nortlnvest was surface inspected as ground visibility was at 75 to 80 percent.
Likewise, property adjacent to the drainages and private drives were not testiug due ro past disturbances
fi�om alterations to the streams and erosion, but the surface was inspected (see Fignre 4). No cultural
material was identified during the surface inspection. Slope to the souihwest on the residential property
was at or over 15 perceut and was not tested as well (see Figure 5).
The archaeological investigations for the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 76 in Clay County suggest
no signi5cant archaeological sites are within the APE. The surface inspection and subsurface testing
failed to identify cultural �natecial on the floodplain. Areas not tested contained slope at or over 15
percent or were subject to past ground disturbance activities such as erosion, stream channel alterations,
or the accumulation of fill in order to raise the landform. These areas are not likely to contain significant
archaeological sites. As long as impacts to the subsurface cecur within the defined APE, no further
archaeological work is requu�ed for Bridge No. 76 in Clay Coimty. Should lhc design or permit
requirements cl�ange, further archaeological consultation might be necessary.
