CORPORATION 50101, Governors Drive, Suite 250 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27517 July 10, 2015 Ties Data Recovery- Plan specifies proposed measures to mitigate adverse effects to NRNP -eligible archaeological site 31HN220, which will be impacted by planned construction within the Bonded Phases of the Seven Falls Golf and River Club in Henderson County, North Carolina. This historic period site is situated adjacent to an access road on a proposed residential lot within the development. This plan is an updated version of the Data Recovery Plan for Archaeological Sites 31HN220 and 31H7V222 at the Seven Falls Golf and River Club, Henderson County, North Carolina, which was provided as Appendix l of the Memorandum of Agreement for the Seven Falls Golf and River Club (COE Action I.D. #2007-3367), which was executed in 2008. This plan has been updated to remove references to site 31HN222 (as it will not be impacted by the presently planned construction) and to update personnel information, but is otherwise essentially unchanged from the 2008 plan. SITE DESCRIPTION 31HN220 is a historic period site situated on an upland ridge saddle on the west side of an access road that extends south to Folly Road and approximately 2.75 km south of the French Broad River (Cox et al. 2008:41-44). The core area of the site measures approximately 35 m east -west x 15 m north -south. Neither the road nor the structure appears to be depicted on historic maps dating to 1907-1938, and no documentary information on prior ownership or occupancy is presently available. This site contains two fieldstone piles that likely represent chimney falls, along with a low-density artifact scatter. During the 2007-2008, survey a small assemblage of artifacts was collected from the surface of the adjacent access road, the ground surface surrounding the rock piles, and one of five shovel tests. The soils encountered in the shovel tests were deflated and consisted of a yellowish brown silt loam A horizon that was approximately 15 cm thick and overlay a yellowish red clay loam B horizon. The artifact assemblage includes a porcelain doll's head fragment; a machine cut nail (ca. 1805- 1900); a Mason's 1858 patent canning jar fragment (ca. 1858-1920); a colorless liquor bottle fragment; undecorated blue -tinted ironstone sherds (ca. 1840-1885); and a few undecorated and decorated whiteware sherds, including a mold decorated pitcher fragment, a polychrome hand painted sherd in Bright Palette colors with an unidentified green floral pattern (ca. 1830s -1860s), and a red cut sponge stamped sherd (ca. 1845-1930) (Majewsld and O'Brien 1987; Miller 2000). Based on the artifact assemblage, 31 HN220 appears to date to the mid- to late 19'h century. Given the meager artifact assemblage, however, it is possible that the occupation began earlier in the 19'h century and/or continued into the early 2& century. DATA RECOVERY EXCAVATIONS This Data Recovery Plan begins with a review of research questions that can potentially be addressed using data from 31 HN220. Subsequent sections detail the proposed research procedures, including those for background research, fieldwork, laboratory analyses, reporting, and curation, as well as procedures to be used in the event of the discovery of potential human graves or remains. II. Research Questions Site 31HN220 include the remains of at least one structure dating to the 19'h and possibly the early 20'h centuries. It appears to represent'a small-scale rural farmstead, considered one of the -essential elements of the Carolina or Upland South landscape (Beaman et al. 1998; Jordan-Bychkov 2003; Olson 1998). Although such farmsteads were once ubiquitous, very few sites of this type and time period have been investigated in North Carolina, particularly in the western region of the state (Beaman et al. 1998; Greene n.d; Linda HalL personal communication 2008; John Mintz, personal communication 2008). 77be investigation of site 31 HN220 offers the opportunity to explore many aspects of rural domestic life in western North Carolina during tivs period. The research questions focus on capturing social Page 6 and economic data from the resources, and are intended to utilize data from archaeological, documentary, and possibly oral history sources. 1. \YUhat is the spatial layout and organization of the site? What domestic structures and outbuildings were present, and how was the farmstead landscape organized in relation to the nearby creeks, roads, and landscape features? 2. What is the timing and duration of occupation? Do the principal architectural features represent contemporaneous or successive buildings? Is it possible to identify the former owners or inhabitants using documentary or oral historical information? 3. \XThat material culture inventory is represented, and what information can these materials provide concerning the economic status of its inhabitants and their integration into broader commercial and social networks? 4. Are subsistence practices visible within the archaeological records of the site? What is the historical or archaeological evidence for food storage by the residents? What data can the site provide regarding the living conditions, diet, and farming practices of these rural occupants? 5. What information can the site provide about broader patterns of settlement growth and abandonment, material culture use, subsistence, and economic patterns in Henderson County and in the North Carolina mountains? How do the architectural patterns, spatial organization, and artifact assemblages and material cultural remains from the site compare .with similar sites that have been investigated (to varying degrees) elsewhere in the Appalachians (e.g., Groover 1998; Horning 1995, 2000a, 2000b; Shumate and Evans - Shumate 1996; Tanner 2004; Webb and Jones 2006), Piedmont (Beaman et al. 1998; Joseph and Reed 1997; Stine 1989), and Sandhills (Steen 2005, 2006, 2008)? II1. Research Methods Background Research. The work will begin with additional background research to supplement the more general research conducted as part of the previous survey (Cox et al. 2008). This research will take several forms. On a general level, the researchers will continue to accumulate comparative data on the historic archaeology of western North Carolina and the surrounding region. This will be accomplished both through continuing literature review and through consultations with other researchers in the region. More specific documentary and oral lvstory research will also be conducted, including continued examination of primary and secondary references concerning Henderson County history, the analysis of historic maps, deeds, and vital statistics and census records, and possibly informant interviews. In particular, TRC will attempt to trace the chain of title for the property and to match information from that research with available census data. In addition, we will consult with former landowners and local historians and genealogists in an attempt to identify individuals with knowledge of the farnistead and surrounding region. Field Methods. Many of the research questions are most effectively answered using data from discrete features and on spatial patterning of features, and for this reason the excavations will include both hand excavation and mechanized stripping and feature excavation. Sile Cleaning and Preparalronn. Investigations will begin with site preparation. All downed vegetation and underbrush will be removed, and a survey grid Evill be established. All excavations will be conducted in the metric system and reported in both metric and English equivalents. In association with the site preparation, digital photographs will be taken to document die pre -excavation conditions. Clare In ferral Scowl Terliug. Excavations will begin with systematic 5-m interval shovel testing across the site area. l'he shovel testing will continue along each grid line until two consecutive negative Page 7 shovel tests have been excavated and the landform has been completely covered. Each shovel test will be 30 cm in diameter, and all artifacts will be screened through '/,-inch hardware cloth. Shovel tests will be excavated to the base of the A/E soil horizon, averaging between 10 and 25 cm in depth. In conjunction with the shovel testing, staff will conduct additional pedestrian survey of adjacent landforms (including steams and ravines) to check for evidence of outlying features such as spring boxes or refuse deposits. IV. Aletal Detector Surrey. Limited metal detector survey will be conducted to supplement the shovel testing results. Initially, the metal detector will be used to survey two -m wide transects in a cruciform pattern across the site and the adjacent landform. All hits will be flagged and mapped using die total station, and a sample of up to 100 metal detector huts will be excavated to aid in understanding the distribution of metal artifacts across the site and their relationship to structure and feature locations and apparent activity areas. Chinmg, Fall Excavation. At least one chimney fall will be investigated to expose and record the original fire box and hearth and gather information on structure orientation. Artifacts recovered as part of this work will be piece -plotted as appropriate, and test units will be excavated in the hearth area. V. Hand Excamted Units. Up to 12 1 x 1 m square hand -excavated units will be placed to investigate architectural features, gather artifact samples, and investigate apparent artifact concentrations or features encountered in the shovel testing or metal detector survey. The units will include at least two excavation units placed in an apparent hearth area, and at least three units organized into a 1 x 3 m trench designed to intersect a wall line. All units will be excavated in 10 cm levels within natural strata. All soil from the hand -excavated units will be screened through'/, -inch or smaller mesh. A level form -will be completed for every level excavated and a unit summary form will be completed for each unit This form will include a description of the strata and recovered artifacts, elevations (both below surface and in reference to the site datum), a plan map showing any features or soil anomalies, and a hist of all artifact bags, flotation samples, and other samples removed from the unit. All soils will be described using the Munsell color system and the USDA soil texture designations. The top of each level within each stratum will be scraped and examined for the presence of features. If no features are present, excavation of the next level will proceed. Representative unit profiles will be drawn and photographed, and plan drawings will be made as necessary. Mechanised Stripping. Following the hand excavation, mechanized stripping will be used to remove the remaining topsoil from the structure and yard area to search for subsurface features, including any hearth -front cellars that may be present. The stripping will be conducted using a backhoe with a toothless bucket. All stopping will be monitored by one or more archaeologists, who will shovel shave the area as necessary and systematically flag all potential features as they are exposed. Feahar Recordation and Excavation. All possible cultural features (pits, postholes, etc.) will be flagged when first exposed and given a unique number for subsequent tracking purposes. Features will then be mapped using a total station, drawn and photographed, and excavated. Standardized techniques .will be used to record and excavate features, although these may vary depending on feature size and apparent type. Initially, each feature will be carefully defined by troweling or shovel shaving and mapped in plan view. Photographs will be taken of the feature in plan. Each feature will be cross-sectioned along its long axis. The initial half will be excavated by natural strata (fill zones) if these can easily be recognized, or removed in a single unit if not. The feature will then be mapped and photographed in profile, and the remainder of the fill will be excavated by natural strata or fill zones. If at any time a feature is determined to be noncultural in origin (e.g., rodent burrow, tree root), excavation will be terminated. All information generated from feature excavation will be recorded on a feature form. Standard soil descriptions will be completed for each fill zone, and data will be recorded concerning form, Page 8 evidence of burning, etc. Flotation samples (121 in volume) may be taken from each feature depending on its type and significance. The remaining feature fill will be screened through either one-quarter inch mesh or window screen, depending on its provenience. In the event that large or especially complex features, or large numbers of features, are identified, the Contractor will consult with the client and SHPO to determine appropriate sampling and excavation strategies. VI. Hmnann Rennains. Although no gravesites are known to be located within the areas to be excavated, it is possible that graves will be identified during the excavations. In the event that apparent marked or unmarked graves are identified, information regarding their number and location will be provided to the landowner, so that they can be preserved or relocated in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes. In the event that human remains are observed, work in the immediate area will stop immediately, and notifications will proceed in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 70-3, The Unnvarked Hnnnann Burial and Skeletal Remains Protection Act. VII. Laboratory Methods. The following laboratory methods will be employed. Artifact Processing. All project materials will be returned to TRC's Asheville or Chapel Hill laboratory for processing. Initially, all artifact and sample bags will be checked against provenience data from field records. The artifacts then will be washed, dried, and rebagged in 4 mil plastic zippered bags. Artifact Analyses. Historic period artifacts will be classified according to material type and function. Every effort will be made to describe artifacts as precisely as possible, including the identification of specific artifact varieties (e.g., liquor bottle, lamp chimney, teacup, and chamber pot), manufacturers (e.g., Globe Pottery Company), or brands (e.g., Mason's Improved). Ceramic artifacts will be classified according to recognized types (e.g., pearhvare, ironstone) and by decorative technique (e.g., hand-painted, transfer print, decal) and vessel form. Similarly, bottles will be described by type, color, sire, manufacturing technique, and closure type. The analysis will include a minimum vessel count for ceramics and glass. When possible, historic artifacts also will be analyzed to determine their date of manufacture. This will involve analysis of individual diagnostic artifacts (e.g., bottles, buttons or coins), as well as the possible application'of the mean ceramic dating technique. Published and on-line artifact sources that will be used include Fike (1987), Jones and Sullivan (1989), Lindsey (2010), Miller (2000), Nelson (1968), Noel Hume (1969), Samford and Miller (2012), South (1977), Toulouse (1971), and others. As the final step, sherds will be mended to form complete or partial vessels. The number and proveniences of these mends will be recorded, allowing for quantified cross-mend analysis. This technique provides a means of better understanding the relationship between archaeological areas, units and levels, and their stratigraphic context within a historic site, as well as providing insights into refuse disposal processes and site formation processes. All artifacts will be grouped according to the artifact pattern model originally devised by South (1977) and revised by Garrow (1982). Originally developed by South for the identification of artifact patterning among British Colonial sites, the model will be used here only as a method of artifact classification. This allows for the org2ni2ation of artifacts on both the provenience and component levels, and also facilitates any future cross-comparisons with other assemblages formatted in this manner. Any prehistoric artifacts that are recovered will be analyzed according to standard regional typologies. Otljer Specialized Annal les. Flotation samples will be processed using a Flote-Tech system from Dausman Technical Services, or its equivalent This electric-powered flotation tank separates heavy and light fractions, and a removable dam can be slipped into place to gather very light materials from the heavy fraction, such as bone and dense charcoal. The resulting light and heavy fractions will be dried for further processing. Page 9 Archneobotanical analyses of handpicked and flotation samples will follow a modification of the procedure outlined by Yarnell (1974:113-114). First, all samples will be sieved through 4 mm, 2 mtn, 1 nun, and 0.5 mm screens. Contaminants will be removed before weighing charcoal with an electronic balance accurate to 0.0001 g. In large samples, contamination weight will be estimated by using a raffle sampler to produce a subsample for quantitative analysis. Charcoal larger than 2 min will be sorted and quantified by counting fragments; charcoal 0.5-2 mm will be scanned for presence/absence of rare categories; and seeds removed and identified. The faunal analyses will concentrate on identifying the economic use(s) of the specimens by the site's inhabitants. Faunal remains will be analyzed according to species, portion, size, age at time of death, burning, other intentional cultural modification, and any postdepositional alteration and/or modification. Nondiagnostic fragments will be sorted as either thermally altered or nonthermally altered. The Number of Individual Specimens (NIS) and the Minimum Number of Individuals (A4NI) will be ascertained for each taxon. Curation. All artifacts, field notes, photographs, and other project materials recovered from the project will be temporally curated by the Contractor. Permanent curation arrangements will be determined in consultation with the client and SHPO. Reporting. A Management Summary documenting the successful completion of the fieldwork phase of the project will be submitted to the client, the SHPO, the COE, TVA, and the EBCI within ten days of the completion of the fieldwork phase of the investigations. This summary will document that the work has been completed in accordance with the data recovery plan, and should provide sufficient information for construction clearance to be granted. The draft technical report will be submitted to the client, the OSA, the COE, TVA, and the EBCI within six months afar completion of the fieldwork. This report will meet all North Carolina state guidelines. The final report will address the comments received from all reviewers, will be submitted within 30 days of receipt of all draft report review comments. Final report copies will be supplied to the client, the OSA, the COE, TVA, and the EBCI, and will be made available to appropriate research facilities. PERSONNEL The investigations at 31HN220 will be carried out by personnel from TRC's Chapel Hill and Asheville offices. Mr. Paul Webb, Program Manager for those offices, will serve as Project Manager. The Principal Investigator and Project Director for the project will be Mr. Michael Nelson of TRC's Asheville office. REFERENCES CITED Beaman, Thomas E., Jr., John J. Mintz, and Kenneth W.

Page 12 Attachment B Remedial Action Plan for Aquatic Life Passage .' - a j, Remedial Action Plan for Aquatic Life Passage It is the understanding of the applicant that the issued permit would require provisions for aquatic life passage at the road crossings previously installed at Seven Falls. The project engineers have reviewed the crossing locations identified by the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and have developed remedial actions to be included as Special Conditions of the issued permit. The identified crossings are noted on the attached map (Figure 1). Remedial actions include installation of a "splash rock" and an "engineered solution". Installation of a splash rock would include placement of a large flat boulder (minimum 2 -foot by 2 -foot) below the culvert and angled down to meet the existing stream bottom. The boulder would be installed so that the culvert would be overlapping the boulder by at least 4 inches (Figure 2). The engineered solution would include excavating a small portion of the road embankment, cutting off a portion of the existing culvert, and installing two junction manholes. Between the junction manholes would be an angled culvert that decreases the elevation of the culvert so that the culvert outlet would be at the existing stream bed elevation (Figure 3). A site-specific design for each engineered solution would be prepared and submitted after issuance of the permit. Remedial action would require additional stream impacts at each crossing location. Listed below are the culverts identified in the comment, the proposed remedial action, and the additional stream impact required. • Culvert #3 — Splash rock, 5 additional linear feet of stream impact required. • Culvert #5 — Splash rock, 5 additional linear feet of stream impact required. • Culvert #9 — Culvert #9 would need to be increased to 115 linear feet (per permit application); the culvert diameter also needs to be increased. The existing culvert would be removed and replaced with a culvert of the required length and diameter. The new culvert would be installed to allow for aquatic life passage. • Culvert #10 — Engineered solution, 30 additional linear feet of stream impact required. • Culvert #11 — Engineered solution, 30 additional linear feet of stream impact required. • Culvert #12 — Engineered solution, 30 additional linear feet of stream impact required. An additional 75 linear feet of stream restoration would occur below Culvert #12. Natural channel design including activities such as the installation of step -pools, bank sloping, and supplemental plantings would be included in the plan. A conceptual plan is included for review (Figure 4); a final design would be provided for review and approval after issuance of the permit. • Culvert #13 —Splash rock, 5 additional linear feet of stream impact required. Each culvert location identified above would be visually monitored for one year. Results of the monitoring would be submitted to the Corps and NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) for review.

Clearwater Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) conducted an assessment of all streams and wetlands within the bonded phase of Seven Falls during June of 2015 and has developed the following stabilization and sediment removal strategy to be included as a Special Condition of the issued permit. The applicant would propose to remove sediment only in areas dominated by pockets of fine sediment and sands in excess of 4 inches. Any sediment accumulation less than 4 inches and areas with sediment deposition mixed with native gravels and cobble would be left in place. CEC identified four stream reaches as needing stabilization and/or sediment removal: three unnamed tributaries (UT) to Folly Creek and one UT to Little Willow Creek (Figure 1). Each reach is discussed below. • Sediment Removal 1 (UT Little Willow Creek) is below Culvert #3 and Culvert #4. There is approximately 70 linear feet of stream channel that has accumulated sediment below Culvert #4 due to'silt fencing in the stream. The silt fence would be removed or cut to ground level and the channel below Culvert #4 would be rerouted to join the channel below Culvert #3. Some sediment would need to be removed from behind the silt fence prior to removal to eliminate chances of sediment entering the channel below Culvert #3. Any remaining sediment would be matted and seeded in place. Sediment removal in this location would likely take place by hand (shovels and buckets). The sediment would be placed at least 30 feet from the stream channel and stabilized. Approximately 100 feet downstream of the culverts there is an erosional gully and a parallel channel that appears to be the original stream channel. Water appears to flow through both channels especially during high flows. A channel plug would be placed just upslope of the erosional gully and all stream flow would be directed to the original stream channel. A schematic showing the proposed actions below Culvert #3 and Culvert #4 is included for review (Figure 2). A site-specific design for remedial actions below Culvert #3 and Culvert #4 would be prepared and submitted after issuance of the certification. • Sediment Removal 2 (UT Folly Creek) is located'immediately upslope of an old logging road. It appears that an old debris jam caused sediment to collect in this area. Sediment removal would be limited to the area behind the debris jam. Sediment removal in this location would - take place by hand (shovels and buckets). The sediment would be placed at least 30 feet from the stream channel and stabilized. • Sediment, Removal 3 (UT Folly Creek) is located immediately upslope of a fallen tree in the channel. It appears that the fallen tree caused sediment to collect in this area. Sediment removal would be limited to the area upslope of the fallen tree. Sediment removal in this location would likely take place by hand (shovels and buckets). The sediment would be placed at least 30 feet from the stream channel and stabilized. • Sediment Removal 4 (UT Folly Creek) is located in the steep valley on the southeastern property boundary. Sources of sediment include an unstable headcut within Lot 139. Sediment is concentrated in localized areas and varies in depth from 4-16 inches. Sediment removal would be limited to the localized areas. Sediment removal in this location would take place by hand (shovels and buckets) and, due to steep terrain, the sediment would be placed 5-30+ feet from the stream channel (depending on location) and stabilized. The project engineers have assessed the headcut in Lot 139 and have developed remedial actions to be included as Special Conditions of the issued certification. Proposed remedial actions include installation of a French drain in the headcut that would extend approximately 50 feet downslope to an area of stable banks. The headcut area would be filled with additional stone and a top layer of soil. The area would be matted and seeded upon completion of construction. A schematic showing the proposed actions within Lot 139 is included for review (Figure 3). A site-specific design for remedial actions within Lot 139 would be prepared and submitted after issuance of the certification. Prior to sediment removal at each of the removal areas identified, two coir logs would be staked into the stream channel at different locations downstream of the removal areas. These logs would act as temporary sediment dams during the removal process. Sediment removal would be conducted upstream to downstream and sediment that is resuspended and collected behind the logs would be removed upon completion of the sediment removal in the upstream reach. A report documenting existing stream conditions at each stabilization and sediment removal location would be submitted prior to commencement of the proposed work. Subsequently, a report documenting stream conditions after stabilization and sediment removal occurs would also be submitted for approval. CEC would monitor on-going sediment removal at regular intervals and DWR would approve the work when complete.
