No: Federal Permit Required? County: Watauga Document Funding: � Yes ❑ No LIBR DATA SHEET (PCE) OR MINIMUM CRITERIA CHECKLIST � State ❑ Federal Permit Type: NWP 3/ NWP 14 tva Project Description: Replace Bridge No. 83 on SR 1340 (Meat Camp Rd.) over North Fork New River in Watauga County. Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.) includes the area within 92 meters (300 ft.) of each end of the bridge and 23 meters (75 ft.) from centerline on each side of the road. No design plans provided. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: The review included an examination of a topographic map, an aerial photograph, the Watagua County soil survey, and listings of previously recorded sites, previous archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews at the Office of State Archaeology (O.S.A.). The topographic map (Zionville, NC-Tenn.) shows the bridge is located in a narrow stream valley with steep slopes on each side. (The topographic map labels the stream as Mine Branch, not the North Fork New River.) (The bridge is oriented northeast to southwest but is considered north-south for this review.) Bridge 83 is located a short distance southeast of the confluence with another stream, Maine Branch. The A.P.E. in the northwest and southwest quadrants are narrow strips of land between SR 1340 and Maine Branch. These narrow strips of land have a low potential for archaeological sites because of disturbance from creek flooding, road construction, and maintenance. The A.P.E. in the southeast quadrant is the base of a ridgetoe or a terrace, a landform with a moderate to high potential for archaeological sites. However, the map shows three structures on the landform, and it may have been disturbed by residential construction, driveways, etc. The A.P.E. in the northeast quadrant is a narrow floodplain between the road and a steep ridge to the east. There is an unimproved road that joins SR 1340 in this quadrant and runs south along Mine Branch. The aerial photograph shows the A.P.E. is cleared (pasture?) in the northwest quadrant. The southwest quadrant is a cleared strip between the road and Maine Branch. The southeast quadrant is cleared, and there are several structures along the road. The northeast quadrant is wooded. A road or driveway joins SR 1340 in this quadrant. The Watauga County soil survey shows that the soils in the A.P.E. are Tusquitee stony loam, rolling phase (7-15% slopes), and Chandler stony loam, eroded, steep phase (30-60% slopes). Stony soils found on steep landforms have little potential for archaeological sites. "No ARCHAEOLOGYSURVEYREQUIRED " form for Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2007 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of 6 A review of information at the O.S.A. shows no previously recorded archaeological sites within or adjacent to the A.P.E. The A.P.E. has not been previously surveyed for archaeological sites. The project in not within any areas that have been reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: There are no previously recorded sites within the A.P.E. The landforms within the A.P.E. have a low to moderate potential for archaeological sites. The sloped, stony soil has a low potential for archaeological sites.
