Cultural Resources Survey of the Proposed Wells Crossroad to Holly Hill Reach Water Transmission Mains

"Archaeological survey through surface inspection and systematic shovel testing at 30-meter intervals identified seven sites (38OR331, 38OR332, 38OR333, 38OR334, 38OR335, 38OR336, and 38OR341) and one isolated find. Six of these sites contain remnants of nineteenth- to twentieth-century farmsteads or tenant farms. One site contains Pre-Contact ceramic and lithic artifacts. We recommend all of these sites and the isolated find not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). We also conducted an architectural reconnaissance of the easement. Since the pipeline will be underground when complete, it presents no opportunity to affect any aboveground resources that might be eligible for the NRHP unless they have associated landscapes. Our architectural historian inspected the roads along the pipeline corridor to see if such landscapes are present. We identified no historic landscapes, but there are two architectural resources (Resources 0255 and 0256) that retain sufficient integrity to be included on the South Carolina Statewide Survey. Resource 0255 is a nineteenth-century farmhouse that stands ... (opposite the eastern/northern terminus of the proposed water pipeline). Resource 0256 (the Target United Methodist Church and its associated cemetery) is situated ... on the opposite side ... from the pipeline easement. Both are likely eligible for the NRHP. The pipeline will not alter the setting of either Resource 0255 or 0256 in such a way that would affect their NRHP eligibility. Thus, the construction and operation of the proposed Wells Crossroad to Holly Hill Reach Water Transmission Mains will affect no historic properties."

通过以30米为间隔的地表勘查与系统铲探开展的考古调查，共发现7处遗址（38OR331、38OR332、38OR333、38OR334、38OR335、38OR336及38OR341）与1处孤立遗存。其中6处遗址存有19至20世纪农场宅邸或佃农场的遗迹，1处遗址出土前接触期（Pre-Contact）陶瓷与石器制品。我们建议将上述所有遗址及该孤立遗存认定为不具备国家历史遗迹名录（National Register of Historic Places, NRHP）收录资格。此外，我们对地役权区域开展了建筑勘察。由于最终建成的管道将埋设于地下，除非涉及相关关联景观，否则不会对任何符合国家历史遗迹名录收录标准的地上资源造成影响。我方建筑历史学家对管道廊道沿线的道路进行了勘察，以确认是否存在此类历史景观。本次勘察未发现历史景观，但有两处建筑遗存（编号资源0255与0256）保留了足够的历史完整性，可纳入南卡罗来纳州全域调查（South Carolina Statewide Survey）。资源0255为一座19世纪农舍，坐落于……（拟建输水管道东/北端点对面）。资源0256（目标联合卫理公会教堂及其附属墓地）位于……与管道地役权相对的一侧。两处遗存大概率符合国家历史遗迹名录的收录标准。拟建输水管道不会以影响其国家历史遗迹名录收录资格的方式，改变两处资源的周边环境。因此，拟建的韦尔斯克罗斯罗德至霍利希尔段输水干管（Wells Crossroad to Holly Hill Reach Water Transmission Mains）的建设与运营，不会对任何历史遗产造成影响。
