Project Background <br /> Orange County is in the process completing the engineering, planning and easement <br /> acquisition for the proposed Eno EDD, Water and Sewer System Project consisting of buried <br /> gravity sewer in the Eno EDD area that will connect to the existing City of Durham Sanitary <br /> Sewer along Orangewood Drive as shown in the attached Figure 1: Proposed Gravity Sewer. <br /> Where not in public right of way, the project site consists of a 40-foot-wide permanent <br /> easement running the length of the sewer line, along with a 20-foot temporary construction <br /> easement. All proposed ground disturbance will be confined within these easements. The <br /> majority of the sewer line will be built using conventional trenches up to 24 feet deep, with <br /> some rock blasting where required. <br /> Most of the construction alignment through previously undeveloped property is heavily <br /> wooded. The proposed alignment has been identified in the 50% plans and each manhole as <br /> a northing and easting coordinate. An overall site plan has been included in Figure 1 and <br /> additional information will be provided to the consultant, once under contract. Access to the <br /> site is presently available from the corner of Orangewood Drive and Byrd Road as well as via <br /> Eno Trailer Park Loop Road. The County and its agents have permission to access these <br /> parcels and we have the parcel owners' contact information. <br /> II. Description of Work <br /> The cultural and archaeological survey for this project will be comprised of the following <br /> principal components: (a) background research, (b) a surface and possible subsurface <br /> investigation of the area within the permanent and temporary easements proposed for sewer <br /> construction, (c) a reporting of results. These components are described as follows: <br /> A. General <br /> Perform a background research for the entire route to ensure it does not cross any <br /> already recorded archaeological resources. Perform an archaeological survey focused <br /> solely on Pipe Number 2 and Pipe Number 3 as this cross-country portion of the route <br /> runs through a previously undeveloped area that could be considered to have potential <br /> for the presence of archaeological deposits. <br /> B. Background Research <br /> Prior to the initiation of the field investigations the Consultant shall undertake <br /> background research sufficient to acquire a working familiarity with the natural and <br /> cultural resources in the study area and to locate any previously recorded historical or <br /> archaeologically significant sites on the property, including historic structures and any <br /> significant landscape alterations associated with those structures. The North Carolina <br /> Office of Archives and History (Office of State Archaeology) must be contacted to <br /> 3 <br />
