No. 159 County: Document Union F.A. No: 17BP.10.R.107 Federal Permit Required? MCC Funding: � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: usace Project Description: NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 159 on SR 2169 (Prospect Road) in place over Pole Cat Creek in Union County. An offsite detour has been identified for use during construction. The current bridge is small and the replacement is likely to be slightly larger, in width for example. The proposed length of the new project is 500 feet. 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 2169 and current Bridge No. 159, 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 (Tradesville) and aerial photography was studied (see Figures 1 and 2). Neither Google or Bing streetview tool was available at this location. Agricultural fields, fallow or pasture at the time of the aerial review, extend to the current ROW on all but the extreme northeast quadrant where there exists a residence. 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 2169 road in the same vicinity but taking a winding approach west to east across the landscape. Prospect Road, in its current alignment, is a twentieth century roadway. 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. No environmental reviews for archaeology or surveys are closeby. 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 may be 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 "No ARCHAEOLOCY SURVEYREQCIIRED "form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of 4 Project Tracking No.: 18-04-0016 replacement project.
