No: B-5601 455561.1 N/A Federal Permit Required? County: Washington Document: MCC Funding: � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type.• NWP3 Project Description: The NCDOT proposes to replace on the same alignment Bridge No. 11 on NC 308 (Mackey's Road) over Kendrick Creek in Washington County. Bridge No. 11 was built in 1949, and is considered to structurally deiicient and functionally obsolete. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project will be centered on the bridge and measure 50 feet to either side of the centerline and about 500 feet from either end of the bridge. Overall, the APE will encompass about 120,275 square feet (2.76 acres), inclusive of the existing roadway and structure to be replaced. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: This project was originally received on Friday, February 19, 2016. In order to proceed with the review, additional information was requested and later received on Wednesday, February 24, 2016. A map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Friday, February 19, 2016. No archaeological surveys have been conducted along this particular stretch of NC 308 (Mackey's Road [old SR 1300]); however, an archaeological survey was conducted for the Mackeys Ferry Landing Tract, a subdivision off of NC 308 (see Poplin and Jones 1991 [Biblio# 2928]). In addition, two (2) archaeological sites have been recorded within one-half (1/2) mile of the proposed project. Digital copies of HPO's maps (Roper North Quadrangle) as well as the HPOWEB GIS Service (http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/) were last reviewed on Tuesday, March 2, 2016. There are no known historic architectural resources located within or adjacent to the APE for which intact archaeological deposits would be anticipated 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 or 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 reasonablypredicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: This is a State-funded project that will require a Federal permit. Permanent and/or temporary utility and drainage easements will not be required. At this time, we are in compliance with NC GS 121-12a, since there are no eligible (i.e. National Register-listed) archaeological resources located within the project's Area of Potential Effects (APE) that would require our attention. Based on the size of the APE, activities should not take place beyond the NCDOT's existing 100-foot ROW. From an environmental perspective, the APE falls within the northeastern Lower Coastal Plain region of North Carolina, and is composed `7Jo ARCHAEOLOGYSURVEYREQUIRED "form far Minar Transportation Prajects as Qualified in the 2007/2015 Pragrammatic Agreement. 1 of 3 Project Tracking No.: 16-02-0141 primarily of one (1) soil type: Dorovan muck (Do), a nearly level, very poorly drained soil type found on the floodplains of Albemarle Sound and of major streams and their tributaries. The very poorly drained soils have created wetland/swamp-like conditions along Kendrick Creek on both sides of NC 308 (Mackey's Road). Archaeological resources, both prehistoric and historic, would not be anticipated within such an environmental setting. The Office of State Archaeology (OSA) has reviewed five (5) projects within the vicinity of Bridge No. 11 for environmental compliance, ranging from boat ramp construction (ER 85-7442), marina expansion (ER 95-9218), snagging and clearing Kendrick Creek (ER 91-0800), a subdivision (ER 91-7817), and a sand pit (ER OS-1581). Three of the iive projects were essentially cleared by OSA based on their location within wetland areas (i.e. boat ramp, marina, and the creek). Archaeological surveys, or at least a field inspection, were conducted for the subdivision and the proposed sand pit because of their topographical situations, overlooking the confluence of Kendrick Creek and Albemarle Sound. The inspection of the sand pit included a section of Altavista fine sandy loam, 0-2% slopes (AaA); a small portion of this soil type is located within the APE. No archaeological resources were recorded as a result of OSA's inspection (see Abbott 2005 [Biblio# 5582]). Although two (2) archaeological sites were documented within the Mackeys Ferry Landing Tract, one consisted of a diffuse scatter of historic and modern domestic refuse in a drainage ditch whereas the other was an historic cemetery (1844-1857) with six marked gaves. Neither resource was considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), though the cemetery is afforded additional protection per applicable State statutes (NCGS 65 or NCGS 70-3). With that in mind, please take note of the proposed projecYs proximity to the Davenport Cemetery (i.e. west end of the APE). Staging areas and the storage of equipment should not occur within the limits of the cemetery. Based on similar topographic and hydrological situations for nearby projects previously cleared by OSA (see above), there is a very low probability for prehistoric and/or historic archaeological sites to be present within the APE. Therefore, it is believed that the current APE, as depicted, is unlikely to contain intact and significant archaeological resources. No archaeological survey is 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.
