No: 45769.1.1 Federal Permit Required? MCDC Funding.• � State ❑ Federal � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NWP Project Description: The proposed project entails the replacement of Bridge No. 97 over Lanes Creek on SR 1929 in Union County, North Carolina. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) is centered upon the bridge structure and measures 1400ft in length (700ft from each bridge end-point) and 250ft in width (125ft from each side of the SR 1929 center-line). SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: First, 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 state-funded with federal permit interaction. As such, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply and the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USCOE) will serve as the lead federal agency. 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. Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Monday,lanuary 25, 2016. No previously documented archaeological sites are located within or adjacent to the APE. � Historic structure locations often harbor archaeological deposits and features related to the former occupation of a property. An inspection of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL), Locally Designated (LD), Determined Eligible (DE), and Surveyed Site (SS) properties employing the NCSHPO website evidenced an absence of these historic resources within the immediate project area. In addition, historic maps of Union County were appraised to further identify former structure locations, land use patterns, or other confirmation of historic occupation in the project vicinity. Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well. In general, the cultural background review established that no NRHP listed properties, previously recorded archaeological sites, or cemeteries are located within the APE. Based on cultural-historical factors, the APE is considered to have a low potential for the documentation of archaeological resources. Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, lidar and NRCS soil survey rnaps (GsC, ChA, BdB2) 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 and other factors do not suggest a heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery. "No ARCHAGOLOGY SURVEY REQU/RGD"jorm far Ihe Amended Minor Transporlation Projecls as Qualifred in the 2015 Programmalrc Agreement. 1 of 2 Project Trackrng No.: 16-01-0081 Brief Explanation of why the available infor�nation provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: No documented cuitural resources are contained within the current APE limits for the B-5815 bridge replacement project in Union County, North Carolina. Based on soil and other environmental data, significant, intact archaeological deposits or features are very unlikely to be contained in the relatively compact and disturbed existing right-of-way or APE boundaries. No further consuitation is advocated for this state-funded replacement project. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate.
