No: Pipe# 40 2144 17BP.7.C12 N/A Federal Permit Required? County: Guilford Document: Federal PCE Funding: � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type.• USACE Project Description: NCDOT's Division 7 proposes to replace Pipe# 40 2144 carrying an unnamed tributary of Big Alamance Creek under Old Julian Road (SR 3093) in Guilford County. Pipe# 40 2144 is located about 0.5 mile east of the intersection of Old Julian Road (SR 3093) and Mt. Hope Church Road (SR 3045) and consists of two (2) 96" corrugated metal pipes, 74' in length with concrete headwalls. The Study Area far the project will be centered on the pipe location and measure about 60 feet wide (i.e. 30 feet from centerline) and about 264 feet from either side of the culvert. A Permanent Drainage Easement (PDE), measuring between 30-40 feet beyond the existing ROW and about 35 feet to either side of the drainage, will be necessary on both sides of the road. Overall, the Study Area will encompass about 35,734 square feet (0.82 acre), 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 accepted on Friday, October 20, 2017. A map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Wednesday, October 25, 2017. An archaeological survey has never been conducted at this particular location, and only one (1) archaeological site has been recorded within one (1) mile of the project area. Digital copies of HPO's maps (Gibsonville Quadrangle) as well as the HPOWEB GIS Service (http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/) were last reviewed on Thursday, October 26, 2017. There are no known historic architectural resources located within or adjacent to the Study Area; 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: Although this is a State-funded project, a Federal permit will be required. A permanent drainage easement (PDE) will be necessary; however, additional ROW will not be needed. The size and shape of the Study Area have been drawn in a way to capture any possible impacts beyond the NCDOT's existing 60-foot ROW. 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 Study Area that would require our attention. Based on the description of the proposed project, activities will take place beyond `7Jo ARCHAEOLOGYSURVEYREQUIRED "form far Minar Transportation Prajects as Qualified in the 2007/2015 Pragrammatic Agreement. 1 of 3 Project Tracking No.: 17-10-0006 the NCDOT's existing 60-foot ROW along Old Julian Road (SR 3093) within the area of the PDE. From an environmental perspective, the Study Area falls within a rural, overgrown wooded section along Old Julian Road (SR 3093) on either side of an unnamed drainage, in the Piedmont physiographic region of North Carolina. The portions of the Study Area that fall beyond the existing ROW are composed of one (1) soil type: Madison sandy loam, 15-35% slopes (MaE). Although well-drained, these areas are located along long, narrow side slopes adjacent to streams. Preservation of intact archaeological resources would not be anticipated under such environmental and topographical conditions. Unfortunately, the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) has not reviewed any projects within the vicinity of Pipe# 40 2144 for environmental compliance. Within five (5) miles of the Study Area, NCDOT's Archaeology Group has reviewed over twenty (20) transportation-related projects for environmental compliance under the Programmatic Agreement (PA) with the State Historic Preservation Office (NC-HPO), two of which are located within one (1) mile of the proposed project (PA 15-12-0008 and 13-08-0004). Neither project required an archaeological survey, based on the limited nature of what was being proposed (i.e. not to extend beyond existing ROW) and the overall topography (i.e. side slopes). Given the limited nature of the Study Area beyond the existing ROW and the suspect soil conditions and topography/slope along the drainage, there is a low probability for significant prehistoric and/or historic archaeological materials to be present. Therefore, it is believed that the current Study Area, as depicted, is unlikely to contain intact and signiiicant 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 notiiication of NCDOT's Archaeology Group.
