Historic Architecture and Landscapes Group. �4. PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: NC 215 @ Sonoma Rd County: Haywood WBS No: 47854 Document: MCC F.A. No: Funding: ® State ❑ Federal Permit Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Type: USACE Project Description: The project involves the improvement of an intersection at NC 215 and Sonoma Road in Haywood County, North Carolina. The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) encompasses all areas of potential ground disturbing activity 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 state - funded with federal permit interaction. As such, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will apply and the United States Corps of Engineers (USACE) 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. The archaeological APE encompasses 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 Wednesday, May 23, 2018. No previously documented archaeological sites are located within the APE. Examination of National Register of Historic Places (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 Haywood County were appraised to identify former structure locations, land use patterns, cemeteries, 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 Archaeological/historical reference materials were inspected as well.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 previously recorded archaeological sites or NRHP properties are located within the APE. Based on cultural -historical factors, the APE is considered to have a moderate potential for the documentation of archaeological resources. Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps 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 suggest a heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery. "No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED "form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of2 Project Tracking No.: 18-04-0029 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 existing NRHP eligible archaeological sites within the projects APE, and it is unlikely to contain significant, intact, and preserved archaeological deposits. As currently proposed as a federally -funded project, no further consultation is advocated. A finding of "no archaeological survey required" is considered appropriate. The project is in compliance with all state archaeological laws.
