No: Bridge 32 17BP.2.R.77 Federal Permit Required? County: Document: Jones MCC Funding: � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NWP3 Project Description: Replacement of Bridge No. 32 over Tuckahoe Swamp on SR1142 (Taylors Corner Road) in Jones County, North Carolina. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) is centered on the bridge structure and measures 800ft in length (400ft from each bridge end-point) and 150ft in width (75ft from each side of the SR1142 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 permit interaction. As such, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply. 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. Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Thursday, September 29, 2016. 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 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 Jones 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 Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well.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 NRHP listed properties, previously recorded archaeological sites, 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 NRCS soil survey maps (Pa, Mk, NoB) 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. "No ARCHALOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED "form for (he Amended Minor Transportatron Projec(s asQunlified in Ihe 2015 Programmalrc Agreement. 1 of 2 Project Tracking No.: 16-09-0028 Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: No documented cultural resources are contained within the current APE limits for the SR1104/Bridge 63 replacement project in Carteret County, North Carolina. Most of the APE is underlain by poorly drained soils. The remaining portion of the APE near the northern and southern project boundaries has been moderately disturbed from agricultural impacts. In such contexts, intact NRHP archaeological sitesare unlikely to be present or preserved. No further consultation is advocated. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate.
