Davis, Planner Orange County Planning & Inspections Department PO Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Re: The Preserve, Hillsborough, Orange County, CHO1-E-0000-0237 Dear Mr. Davis: We have received notification from the State Clearinghouse concerning the above project. As noted in the environmental assessment, there are no recorded archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on the topographic and hydrological situation of the project along Stroud's Creek and its tributaries, there is a high probability that prehistoric archaeological sites exist in the project area. We recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to identify and evaluate the significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project. Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior to the initiation of construction activities. T~*rn copies c-.f the res>>lting archaeological survey report (and one copy of the appropriate site farms) should be forwarded to us far review and comment as soon as they are submitted by the consulting archaeologist and well in advance of any construction activities. These comments are made in accord with G.S. 121-12(a) and Executive Order XVI. If you have any questions regarding them, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, Environmental Review Coordinator, at 733-4763. Sincerely, David Brook Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer ocation Mailing Address Telephone/Faz AbMINiRTRATi(1N Sn7 N Rln„nr Cr kalriah Nf dFl7 Mail CP'.~i~A r"A~rA~ RalAi~h Nf ~7F44_dh17 !4141 7~i_d7Fi 7~3.RF5~
