FROM: Rosemary L. Edwards 4wo- "2V
SUBJECT: Nationwide Permit Application for Section 401 Certification
Response from the State Historical Preservation Officer, Mr. David Brook
In the environmental review process for the 201 Facilities Plan Update for the Stokes-Danbury
Planning Area, we received a memorandum from Mr. Brooks dated May 4, 1993, addressing
Mr. Reginald Sutton of the Construction Grants and Loans Section of the DEM. In this
memorandum, Mr. Brooks recommended "a comprehensive survey be conducted by an
experienced archaeologist to identify the presence and.significance of archaeological remains that
may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project." (A copy of this memorandum has been
enclosed for your review.) This survey must be performed before the initiation of any
construction for the proposed project. We solicited proposals from several archaeological firms.
Stokes County has chosen Coastal Carolina Research of Tarboro, NC to do the study and are
in the process of a contract review at this time. This study should take place as soon as this
review is complete. Results of this study will be forwarded to you upon completion.
In addition to this memorandum, you will find enclosed a copy of a letter from the US
Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Field Supervisor, Mr. Richard G.
Biggins. This letter is a response to the Biological Assessment of the Stokes-Danbury Planning
Area, prepared by Dr. J.H. Carter and Associates of Southern Pines, NC, in which "no effect"
on endangered or threatened species was found. The Fish and Wildlife Service agreed with this
finding.
Also enclosed are the necessary plan and profile sheets and maps, all on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper,
as required.
If you should have any questions or require any more information, do not hesitate to call.
Thank you for your consideration.

Thank yo'u for providing a copy of the Stokes-Danbury 201 facilities plan update for
review.
VVe recommend that potential affects to archaeological resources within and near
the Danbury Historic District be considered. Although the 201 upgrade indicates
"areas potentially affected by the selected alternative will be investigated" (page
-32), Section 7.2G suggests "there is presently no indication that any areas of
archaeological or historical value would be disturbed by the implementation of the
proposed alternative" (page 7-78). We disagree with this assumption and
recommend that potential adverse effects to archaeological remains be determined
prior to construction.
Specifically, we recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an
experienced archaeologist to identify the presence and significance of
archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed
project. Potential effects on unknown resources should be assessed prior to the
initiation of construction activities.
Enclosed is a list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed
an interest in conducting contract work in North Carolina. Individual files providing
additional information on the consultants may be examined at the State Historic
Freservation Office's Office of State Archaeology, 421 North Blount Street,
;aleigh. If additional names are desired, you may consult the current listing of the
members of the Society of Professional Archaeologists, or contact the society's
current secretary/treasurer, David L. Carlson, Department of Anthropology, Texas
A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4352, telephone [phone].
.-,ny of the above persons, or any other experienced archaeologist, may be
._,ntacteri to conduct the recommended investigation.

We have conducted a search of our files and are aware of no structures of
historical or architectural importance located within the planning area.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If .you have questions
concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley,

subject: Biological assessment for proposed Stokes - Daribur'y wd!,tewdter
collection and treatment system, Stokes County, North Carolina
Ihank you for sending us a copy of the subject assessment prepared by
Dr. J.N. Carter- 111, Ms. Stephanie Wilds, and Ms. Tracy Ilippenstcol
(received on May 13, 1993). We have completed a review ni this
assessment and the following comments are provided ill dLtor•dance with the
provisions of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes that the assessment is
thorough and accurate and agree with its finding of "no effect" on
endangered or threatened species. In view of this, we !relieve the
requirements of Section 7(e) of the Act, as amended, arc fulfilled.
However, obligations under Section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if:
(1) new information reveals impacts of this identified actiuli that may
affect endangered or threatened species or critical habitat in a manner
not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a
manner not considered in this revfew, or (3) a new spet_ies is listed or
critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the action.
Again, we appreciate your, furwardiny us a copy of the assessment. In any
future correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log
Number 4-2-93-002.
