Project Description: NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 326 on SR 1505 (Roanoke Church Road) in
place over Stumplick Branch in Union County near Unionville. An offsite detour has been identified for
use during construction. The current bridge is very small and the proposed length of the new project is less
than 500 feet with a bridge about 50 feet in length. Preliminary design plans were provided which guide
establishment of the Area of Potential Effects (APE). For purposes of this review, the APE is 500 feet in
length with consideration of 50 ft to either side of the existing SR 1505 and current Bridge No. 326, or 100
ft total width. This is a state funded undertaking with federal action through USACE permitting, therefore
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act applies far archaeological review.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The bridge to be replaced is in a rural setting with woods and agricultural fields adjacent to the APE. USGS
mapping (Bakers) and aerial photography was studied (see Figures 1 and 2). Google streetview tool shows
a very small crossing at the project area over a ditch or canal sized Stumplick Branch which may have been
channelized. Plowed agricultural fields extend to the current ROW on the south side. The north side is
wooded.
According to USGS mapping and GIS resources (data layer created by NCDOT archaeologist Paul J.
Mohler), no cemetery is present at the APE or immediately nearby.
Historic maps were examined. The 1914 Soils Map of Union County (MC.097.1914d) shows SR 1505
road in roughly the same location. A structure, probably a house, is shown at that time some distance away
to the west, south of the road though outside of the APE.
The Office of State Archaeology was visited to review archaeological mapping and to reference any known
archaeological surveys and sites. This helps establish an archaeological context for comparison. There are
no recorded archaeological sites in the nearby vicinity. An environmental review for archaeology is closeby
at the northwest quadrant though did not result in an archaeological survey (ER 02-9898).
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 bridge replacement will be constructed on the same location and alignment using an offsite detour. No
new ROW is required, though there are easements in place outside of the existing ROW for construction.
The new bridge overlaps the existing facility and therefore over previously disturbed soils. The majority
of the APE is disturbed, a poor archaeological context. There are no recorded archaeological sites or
cemeteries within the APE. A previous environmental review at the APE did not receive a recommendation
for an archaeological survey.

The context doesn't indicate a high probabilty for archaeological sites within the small, altered APE. It is
unlikely that significant, intact archaeological remains would be present and impacted by the bridge
replacement project. For archaeological review, this federally permitted undertaking should be considered
compliant with Section 106.
