No: 44848.3.5 HSIP-0070(209) Federal Permit Required? County: Document Carteret Federal PCE Funding: ❑ State � Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: USACE, USFS Project Description: The project involves the widening of SR 1141 (Hibbs Rd) at US 70 in Carteret County, North Carolina. The northbound lane of SR 1141 will be widened in order to provide 300ft of left turn storage and 150ft of right turn storage. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) measures 300ft in length and 60ft (existing right-of-way) in width as depicted on the attached GIS mapping. 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 federally-funded. As such, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply to the project and the Federal Highway Administration will serve as the lead federal agency. In addition, there is federal interaction with both the USFS (United States Forest Service) and the USACE (United States Army Corp of Engineers). 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. Based on the engineering design plans, the potential construction work is to occur in the 60ft wide existing right-of-way, save for a diminutive easement at the corner of SR 1141 and US 70. The APE was designed to capture all areas of potential ground disturbing activity. Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Thursday, August 31, 2017. One archaeological site (31CR386) is situated directly adjacent to the project study area and may extend into the APE. 31CR386 constitutes a large twentieth century dump area and tar kiln. One prehistoric quartz flake was recovered from a single shovel test and nurnerous historic artifacts were observed as part of the dump but not collected. The material at this location was extensive and consisted of debris including car bodies and frames and household appliances (Southerlin et al. 2010). Only a small portion of this archaeological site was located within the original study area, north of US 70 and west of Hibbs Road. For CRM project compliance, only the portion of the site within the study area was recommended not eligible for National Register of Historic Places inclusion. As the majority of the site had not been systematically examined, its NRHP eligibility status remains unassessed (Southerlin et al. 2010). Examination of 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 Carteret County were appraised to identify former structure locations, land use patterns, cemeteries, or other confirmation of historic occupation in the project vicinity. "No A2CHACOLOGY SURVEY RLQUIRED"form jor Ihe Amended Minor Transparlalron Projecls as Qualtfied in (he 201 S Programmalic Agreemenl. 1 of 2 t'roject 7 racking /Vo.: 17-07-0020 Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well. In general, the cultural background review established that one previously documented archaeological site is located directly proximal and possibly extends into the APE. Based on cultural-historical factors, the APE is considered to have a high potential for the documentation of archaeological resources. Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps (By6, Ln) 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 intact/significant 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 improvement work is to occur in the already impacted and disturbed right-of-way corridor. One archaeological site (31CR386) is present and adjacent to the APE but should not be affected by the construction work as proposed. Although the boundaries of 31CR386 appear to extend into the APE near the Hibbs Road/US 70 intersection along the western side of SR 1141, and beneath US 70 immediately to the north, any portions of the site here would have been impacted by road construction and right-of-way maintenance. Any surviving part of 31CR386 contained within the 60ft wide right-of-way would not contribute toward eligibility of the site to the NRHP. Significant, intact, and preserved archaeological deposits are unlikely to be present in the defined APE. As currently proposed as a federally-funded project, no further consultation is advocated. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate.

(ACC), conducted a comprehensive archaeological investigation of the Hibbs Road Mechanical Fuels Treatment Areas in the Croatan Ranger District of the Croatan National Forest in Carteret County, North Carolina. This project was conducted in compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, which requires federal agencies to consider the impacts of all undertakings on cultural resources considered eligible for or listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The objectives ofthis investigation were to identify all archaeological resources witivn the survey areas, to assess their eligibility for the NRHP, and to advance eligibility and management recommendations, as appropriate. The Hibbs Road tract encompasses approximately 575 acres in Compartments 22 and 23 of the Croatan National Forest. The portion of the tract in Compartment 22 is located between U.S. Highway 70 and Hibbs Road and consists of500 acres. The portion ofthe project tract northeast of U.S. Highway 70 is in Compartment 23 and encompasses 75 acres. The archaeological survey was conducted using various methods. Areas determined to have a high potential for archaeological remains were shovel tested at a maximum of 30 meter intervals along parallel transects spaced 30 meters apart. Portions ofthe tract deemed to have low potential for archaeological remains were surveyed using judgmentally placed shovel tests. Low lying and wet areas were walked over to identify microtopographic landforms that required shovel testing. A total of four archaeological sites and one isolated find were identified during the survey. Sites 31 CR384 and 31 CR385 are historic sites recommended eligible for the NRHP. Site 31 CR384 is relevant to the thematic contexts of the naval stores industry, transportation, and potentially the American Civil War, and 31 CR385 relates to the naval stores thematic context. Site 31 CR386 is predominantly a historic dump site with a historic kiln and prehistoric isolated find. This site extends beyond the boundaries ofthe project tract and was therefore not fully assessed. Site 31CR386 is considered unevaluated, pending further assessment. However, the portion of the site within the Hibbs Road survey area is severely disturbed and would not contribute to any potential significance the overall site may have. Site 31 CR387 is a small historic house/carnp dating to the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Its deposits are limited and have undergone severe disturbance. Isolate 31CR388 is a prehistoric isolated find. Both ofthese resources arerecommended ineligible for the NRHP. ll Hibbs Road Tract - „ : • . „ : , ',,, `-, 7� , ; �� Croatan National Forest � �r�� " '} � y��`� �t = --.�"� B • -- . � -. t �,�- Tract Boundary Old Road Cut �� % '• �� ' • �t = � � j,, � Archaeological Site Existing route � `��'� ��'�--�"` • . �� • � i . `;• �>>�� `� , \ � ■,' /P �/: O Isolated Find """" Approximate route i \ �> ��, ��+%� � \.

The portion o f the site within the project area is along U. S. Highway 70, just south of its crossing of Smiths Swamp (see Figure 10). This area is wooded with young pines and scrub hardwoods. The site continues on the southwest side of U.S. Highway 70, beyond the boundaries ofthe Hibbs Road study area for another 1,000 meters. This southwestern portion ofthe site is similar in character to the northern portion of the site, althoughrelativelyrecent fires have removed much of the underbrush. Shovel tests were excavated at judgmentally placed intervals in the northern portion of the site within the project boundaries. Five shovel tests were excavated at 10 meter intervals, but only one yielded artifacts. Site dimensions within the project boundary are approximately 90 by 260 meters based on the dumped material visible on the ground surface, as well as the single positive shovel test (Figure 25). According to published soil data, soil in this site area is Baymeade fine sand and Leon sand USDA (2010). Shovel test excavations exposed approxunately 20 cm of gray sand overlaying dark yellowish brown sand. r Croatan National Forest Hibbs Road Tract Newport Quadrangle 31 CR386 w�e Site Plan o Negative Shovel Test • Positive Shovel Test r, Scattered Refuse/Dump (Not Collected) \ Metal Car Parts o :10 &� „�en : .�,.�ow�,A,E�e � ` -t ` ; Site Boundary . `,.= " (within project area) ,., � � � � � � � � . �, . ` .� Y .,,, I o ••. ,l`, / .�,L / t. �: Project Boundary-' � / %r ''•.� / ;: '�. / ��` ' � '.' . Figure 25. Plan map of portion of site 31CR386 in the Hibbs Road survey area. 39 One artifact, a prehistoric quartz flake, was collected from this site. It was recovered from one of the shovel tests excavated within the boundaries ofthe Hibbs Road survey area. This artifact is not diagnostic of any particular cultural period. Numerous historic artifacts were observed as part of the dump material but were not collected. This material is extensive and consists of a wide range of debris, including car bodies and frames and household appliances (Figure 26). Heritage Technician Robert ("Bobcat") Kaylor escorted the field crew around this dump, which is known locally as the "Old Newport Dump." The dump extends for nearly 1.0 km beyond the Hibbs Road survey area boundaries (Figure 27). Although the Forest Service has owned the property since 1935, the dump material in some areas appears to be as recent as the 1960s and 1970s. The recent controlled burns in this area and resulting good surface visibility allows for easy identification of scattered mounds of glass, ceramic, metal, and plastic. The glass includes milk glass containers, clear screw top jars, cobalt glass screw top containers, and 10 ounce glass Pepsi bottles (some apparently bottled in New Bern), among other items. This site also contains a tar kiln which is located approximately 630 meters southwest of the Hibbs Road project tract boundary. It measures approximately 15 meters in diameter and is surrounded by relatively modern trash and debris. Figures 28 presents a general view of the tar kiln location. A plan view of the tar kiln is presented in Figure 29. Figure 26. View of poi-tion of 31 CR386 'vi survey tract. 40 �.

Despite our recovery of a flake in this portion of the site, the surrounding area has undergone severe disturbance from a variety of activities, including ditching to improve drainage in this swampy area. Because such a large portion of this site remains unassessed, it is recommended potentially eligible for the NRHP pending further work. However, the portion ofthe sitewithin this project's study area does not retain the potential to contribute to any potential significance (if any) the site may have. 41 Figure 28.

(ACC), conducted an archaeological irivestigation ofthe Hibbs Road Mechanical Fuels Treatment Area in Carteret County, NorEh Carolina. The Hibbs Road tract encompasses approximately 575 acres in Compartments 22 and 23 of the Croatan Ranger District, Croatan National Forest. The objectives of this investigation were to identify all archaeological resources within the survey area, to assess their eligibility for the _ National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), and to advance eligibility and management recommendations, as appropriate. A total of four archaeological sites and one isolated find were identified during the survey (Table 5). Sites 31CR385 and 31CR384 are historic sites recommended eligible for the NRHP. Further study at site 31 CR385 could contribute new and significant data on the production of naval stores in the project area. Site 31 CR384 contains deposits and features relevant to several research themes, including the naval stores industry, transportation, and military activities associated with the Civil War. Site 31 CR3 86 is predominantly a historic dump site with an associated preliistoric isolated find. This site extends well beyond the boundaries of the project tract and was not fully assessed. The portion ofthe site within the current project boundary is disturbed and will not contribute to any potential significance. However, as the majority of the site has not been systematically examined, its NRHP eligibility remains unassessed. Site 31 CR3 87 is a small historic house or camp dating to the nineteenth through early twentieth century with very limited deposits. Isolate 31CR388 is a prehistoric isolated find. Resources 31CR387 and 31CR388 are recommended ineligible for the NRHP. Table 5.

Two of the sites have tar kilns and a third has a charcoal kiln. As noted in Chapter 2, naval stores production largely drove the economy of Carteret County during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Based on data compiled byHarmon and Snedeker (1997), as of 1992 one tar kiln had been recorded for every 59 acres surveyed in the Croatan National Forest. Table 6 summarizes characteristics of a sample of the recorded tar kilns. 45 f�.: - : 3.=,":��:. �. �`L':.:.�:��- Table 6. Summary of Selected Tar Kiln Sites in Croatan National Forest.

As noted in Table 6, a fairly small percentage of these sites have been considered to have significant research potential. In fact, the majority of them ha�e been disturbed by fire lines and other modern day ground-disturbing activities. This may be largely due to the difficulty in recognizing a tar kiln when it is covered with vegetation. Site 31 CR384 is ofparticular research interest because we were able to identify the probable workers camp associated with the tar kiln. Previous investigations have largely focused on documenting aspects of the tar kilns themselves. Harmon and Snedeker (1997) have called for the need to look for associated features, such as the workers' camps, but few have been identified. We found that a metal detector survey was particularly effective in our identifying the probable workers' camp at 31 CR384, as even close interval (10 meters) shovel tests failed to recover artifacts. As most kiln sites can not be confidently dated, the location of associated workers' camps is especially important as they may yield temporally diagnostic artifacts. We advocate that future investigations examine tar kilns not as isolated features, but as part of a cluster of activity areas representing one of the key economic activities practiced in the project area throughout much of modern history.
