Project Description: NCDOT's Division 7 proposes to replace Bridge No. 39 on SR 2316 (Bethany
Road) over Jacobs Creek in Rockingham County. Bridge No. 39 was built in 1951, and is considered to
be structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. There may be minor ditch-line impacts, and an off-site
detour is to be used during construction. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) will measure approximately
50 feet to either side of the centerline of the roadway/bridge and 448 feet from either end of the bridge.
Based on these measurements and the size of the existing bridge, the APE measures approximately
102,157 square feet or about 2.35 acres, inclusive of the existing roadway and the existing structure to be
replaced.

Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
A map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Monday,
Apri120, 2015. An archaeological survey at this particular bridge location has never been conducted, and
no archaeological sites have been recorded within one-half (1/2) mile of the proposed project. Digital
copies of HPO's maps (Ellisboro Quadrangle) as well as the HPOWEB GIS Service
(http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/) were last reviewed on Wednesday, Apri122, 2015. There are no known
historic architectural resources within the vicinity of the project area that may have intact archaeological
deposits within the footprint of the proposed project. In addition, topographic maps, historic maps
(NCMaps website), USDA soil survey maps, and aerial photographs were utilized and inspected to gauge
environmental factors that may have contributed to historic ar prehistoric settlement within the project
limits, and to assess the level of modern, slope, agricultural, hydrological, and other erosive-type
disturbances within and surrounding the archaeological APE.
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
At this time, the need for a Federal permit and temporary/permanent easements has not been determined.
In addition, this is a State-funded project. For now, there appears to be no Federal connection for this
project. Moreover, NC GS 121-12a does not apply since there are no eligible or potentially eligible (i.e.
National Register-listed) archaeological resources located within the project's Area of Potential Effects
(APE) that would require our attention. All proposed project activities are to take place within the
proposed APE, defined as 50 feet to either side of centerline and 448 feet from either end of the bridge.
Since NCDOT's existing ROW along SR 2316 (Bethany Road) measures 60 feet wide, there may be
environmental impacts beyond what is currently owned/maintained by the NCDOT. A 100-foot ROW is

being proposed. From an environmental perspective, the APE falls within the Piedmont physiographic
region, consists of the floodplain for Jacobs Creek and the rolling/ undulating terrain characteristic of the
region, and is composed of three (3) soil types: Pacolet sandy clay loam, 15-25% slopes, eroded (PcE2),
Chewacla loam (Ck), and Cecil sandy clay loam, 2-8% slopes, eroded (CdB2). The Office of State
Archaeology (OSA) has not reviewed any projects in the vicinity for their potential to impact
archaeological resources so unfortunately there are no comparable projects for reference. Nevertheless,
the proposed project area consists of eroded soils to either side of the drainage, frequently flooded and
somewhat poorly drained soils within the drainage itself, and moderately sloping topography, all
characteristics that would not be conducive to containing intact archaeological components. A review of
historic maps shows no late 19`�-century or early 20r"-century development so the possibility of historic
archaeological remains within the proposed APE is low. Given the degree of erosion, the somewhat
poorly drained and flooded soils of Jacobs Creek, and the sloping topography within the APE, it is
believed that the project area, as depicted, is unlikely to contain intact and significant archaeological
resources. Based on the information above, there should be no archaeological survey required for this
project. If design plans change or are made available prior to construction, then additional consultation
regarding archaeology will be required. At this time, no further archaeological work is recommended. If
archaeological materials are uncovered during project activities, then such resources will be dealt with
according to the procedures set forth for "unanticipated discoveries," to include notification of NCDOT's
Archaeology Group.
