No: Federal Permit Required? County.• Wayne Document.• MCC Funding.• � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: USACE Project Description: The project involves the replacement of Bridge No. 15 on SR 1719 (Beston Road) over Bear Creek in Wayne County, North Carolina. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) measures 600 feet in length (300 feet from each bridge end-point) and 150 feet in width (75 feet from the SR 1719 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 federal permit interaction. As such, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply and the United States Corps of Engineers (USACE) will serve as the lead federal agency. 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. Because the project appears to be an in-place replacement of the structure, the APE was primarily designed to capture any federal permit area. Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Tuesday, September 12, 2017. No previously documented archaeological sites are located in the APE. However, one archaeological site (31WY370) is situated directly adjacent to the project area in the southwestern quadrant. It was documented as part of the NCDOT's US 70 Bypass project. First recorded by Lautzenheiser et al. (1993) the multicomponent site was described as located on a terrace rise above a tributary of West Bear Creek. The site covered 100 x 200 meters with artifacts consolidated to the ridge edge and slope to the creek. The artifacts indicated that the site was occupied from the Paleo-Indian Dalton phase through the Late Woodland period. Lautzenheiser recommended no further work for the resource. A later US 70 investigation by ESI of 31WY370 recovered artifacts from the surface and plow-zone but shovel testing failed to demonstrate the presence of intact archaeological deposits. The site was recommended not eligible for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) inclusion. No additional testing of 31WY370 will be necessary for the present investigation of the APE for the Bridge No. 15 replacement. 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 important in establishing the location of noteworthy historic occupations related to a perspective construction impact area. A cross-check of these mapped resources concluded that none of the above properties with potential contributing archaeological components are situated within or proximal to the APE. In addition, historic maps of Wayne County were appraised to identify former structure locations, land use patterns, cemeteries, 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 previously recorded archaeological sites, NRHP properties, or cemeteries are located within the APE. Based on cultural-historical "No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED "farm for Ihe Amended Minor Transporta(ion Projects as Qualifted in Ihe 20/5 Programma(ic Agreement. 1 of2 Project Tracking No.: 17-08-0007 factors, the APE is considered to have a moderate potential for the documentation of archaeological resources. Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps (Js) 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. Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliab[e basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: The entire APE is underlain by frequently flooded and very poorly drained soils. Archaeological sites located in direct proximity to the APE have been evaluated for NRHP eligibility. The APE is unlikely to contain significant, intact, and preserved archaeological deposits eligible for NRHP inclusion. As currently proposed as a state-funded project with federal permit interaction, no further consultation is advocated. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate. :YI�!�'Z�J:� M_IZIZ�111U_�� M_[IJ►1 See attached: � Map(s) � Previous Survey Info ❑ Photocopy of County Survey Notes FINDING BY NCDOT ARCHAEOLOGIST NO ARCHAEOLOGYSURVEYREQUIRED N ❑ Photos ❑Correspondence Other: ��D/, "No ARCNAF.OLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED" form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Quolified in the 201 S Programmalrc Agreeinent. 2 of 2 �'' 4 � S 'p F�<f i .a -�..� � j��;��( �� r . �P f'�� ( � ��;�rDt l� .7 Q 4�4�; '�7� ¢��.i.'. �x..�"�l�,nST �s �`�� I � < � ' �� g�� " �; @ h ti, Ilil 1 '' ��y�, � e �� ` �� fh ` � �r�; �' }';�{ ��#t �r; � , {,' ��' �_. ��9�(!� -.r � r,�� -; ' , 3 -�� 5 '�� ; fi,� '�� ; ,� , �a � �� i � 4 �i� .: �, , �� .;� . w ; � '�; � � , � .. . 4 .. .
