No: Federal Permit Required? County: Document. Pitt MCC Funding.• � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NWP3 Project Description: Replacement of Bridge 113 on SR 1500 (Package-Craft Rd) over Suggs Branch in Pitt County, North Carolina. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) is centered on the bridge structure and measures 600ft in length (300ft from the bridge end-points) and 150ft in width (75ft from each side of the SR 1500 center-line). SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: First, permitting and funding information was reviewed for determining the level of archaeological input required by state and federal laws. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply because a United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) permit acquisition will be necessary. 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 improvement work. As currently proposed, the project appears to constitute an in-place replacement utilizing an off-site detour during construction activities. To account for the federal permit area, or any temporary or permanent easements, the APE was widened an additional 90ft. beyond the current 60ft. wide right-of-way. Once an APE was defined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Friday, October 14, 2016. Two previously documented archaeological sites (31PT386 & 31PT387) are located just beyond the eastern APE boundary. Both resources were recorded for the US 13 — NC 11 widening project (Robinson 1993). Consequently, this previous work has already surveyed the entire APE. Any additional survey of the project area would be redundant. 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 crucial in establishing the location of noteworthy historic occupations related to a perspective construction impact area. A cross-check of these mapped resources concluded that no meaningful historic properties with possible contributing archaeological elements were located inward of the archaeological APE margins. In addition, historic maps of Pitt County and the project area were appraised for evidence of former structure locations, land use patterns, or other confirmation of historic occupation at this locale. Further, the APE was referenced on topographic, geologic, flood boundary and NRCS soil survey maps (Tu) for the evaluation of environmental, geomorphological, hydrological, and other correlatives that may have resulted in past occupation in the project corridor. Finally, aerial photographs (NCDOT Spatial Data Viewer & other on-line sources) were examined and the Google Street View map application was utilized (when amenable) for gaining a virtual, first-hand perspective of the overall study area and for assessing disturbances, both natural and human induced, which compromise the integrity of archaeological sites/deposits. "No ARCHAL•OLOGYSUR�EY REQUIRED "form for the Amended Mrnor Transportalion Projects asQualified in !he 2015 Progra�nma[rc Agreement. 1 of 2 Project Tracking No.: 16-10-0007 Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: The project APE is absent of NRHP listed historic properties and cemeteries. Two known archaeological sites are situated very close to the APE, but have been NRHP assessed (Robinson 1993). The proposed bridge replacement work is unlikely to affect areas outside the margins of the largely impacted existing right-of-way. Also, the relatively diminutive dimensions of the APE, which are further characterized by underlying poorly drained soils, are unlikely to contain NRHP eligible archaeological deposits. No further archaeological input or work will be necessary for this state-funded NCDOT project. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate.
