Project Description: NCDOT proposes to replace an existing 66 inch reinforced concrete pipe located
under SR 1379 (Penny Road), near Yates Mill Pond. Plans are not available, though the assumption is a
replace-in-kind of an existing pipe or culvert. Some minor realignment and drainage easements may be
required. The Division suggested that an area of 100 ft x 100 ft would adequately cover the proposed work
and equates to the Area of Potential Effects. The majorty of the APE is disturbed by the existing roadway,
channelized drainage and pipe installation.
Since a USACE permit is anticipated, this archaeological review for a federal undertaking falls under
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The pipe to be replaced is located along SR 1379 in Wake County south of Yates Mill Pond of Panther.
Much of the project likely falls within the existing ROW.
USGS mapping (Lake Wheeler) and aerial photography was studied (see Figures 1 and 2). Google street
view tools were used. According to USGS mapping and GIS resources (data layer created by NCDOT
archaeologist Paul J. Mohler), no cemetery is present at the APE.
The Office of State Archaeology was visited in February of 2017 to review archaeological mapping and to
reference any known archaeological surveys and sites. This helps establish an archaeological context far
comparison. There are no archaeological sites mapped in close proximity to the APE. On the other side of
Yates Mill Road to the north is National Register of Historic Places-listed Yates Mill (Wa0050), a historic
site with an assigned archaeological site number of 31Wa1035. Archaeological reviews have been
conducted for a road realignment on Lake Wheeler Road and a bridge replacement. Yates Mill will not be
affected by this pipe replacement.
For this undertaking, a pipe replacement, the project footprint is extremely limited and assumed to be within
disturbed soils. Expectations are very low that an intact, significant archaeological site would be affected
during the installation of a new pipe. No archaeological survey is recommended for this undertaking as
currently proposed. For archaeological review, the pipe replacement should be considered compliant with
Section 106.

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 scale and nature of the project is limited to a pipe installation. It is unlikely that archaeological remains
are present, and if so, that they would be intact and significant. For archaeological review, this state funded,
federally permitted undertaking should be considered compliant with Section 106.
