Cultural Resources Survey Proposed Heth Fire House, Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia

The Fort A.P. Hill Cultural Resource Manager, under the Environmental Division of the Directorate of Public Works within Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, has completed a cultural resource survey in association with the proposed construction of a second fire house at Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia. The proposed undertaking will include remodeling Building TT0205 with the construction of a new, attached, metal building, as well as an expanded driveway and associated improvements and utilities. The new structure will accommodate a second Fire Company and include dormitory space for personnel and storage for vehicles and equipment, with a total area of approximately 3,000 square feet. The cultural resource survey included archaeological and architectural survey investigations. The Project Area for the archaeological survey includes the proposed footprint of new construction and measures approximately 0.12 hectares (0.3 acres). The Area of Potential Effect for architectural resources includes those areas that could be exposed to direct visual impacts from the undertaking.
The objective of the archaeological survey was to identify any historic properties that may be located within the Project Area and evaluate the potential eligibility of any such resources for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The archaeological survey included pedestrian surface survey and the excavation of shovel tests. No archaeological sites, artifacts, cultural features, or cultural deposits were encountered during the archaeological survey.
The objective of the architectural survey was to identify any historic properties that may be adversely affected by direct visual impacts as a result of the proposed undertaking. As a result of previous architectural surveys, Building TT0205 has been recorded with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources as an individual architectural resource (VDHR No. 016-0349-0011) within the Mica Headquarters Historic District (VDHR No. 016-5031). The VDHR previously determined that the Mica Headquarters Historic District is not eligible for inclusion in the National Register as the buildings have been altered and no longer represent the rural village of Mica. No previously unrecorded architectural resources were identified within the APE during the current architectural survey.

弗吉尼亚州卡罗琳县阿普希尔堡（Fort A.P. Hill）公共工程局（Directorate of Public Works）下属环境分部（Environmental Division）的文化资源管理员，已针对该堡拟建第二座消防站的项目，完成配套文化资源勘查工作。
本次拟建工程内容包括对TT0205号建筑进行改造，新建一座附属金属结构建筑，同时实施车道扩建及相关配套设施与公用工程改造。新建筑将容纳第二消防支队，内设人员宿舍区与车辆设备库房，总建筑面积约3000平方英尺。
本次文化资源勘查涵盖考古勘查与建筑勘查两类工作。考古勘查的项目范围涵盖新建工程的拟占地界址，面积约0.12公顷（0.3英亩）；建筑资源潜在影响范围（Area of Potential Effect, APE）则涵盖本次工程可能产生直接视觉影响的所有区域。
考古勘查的目标为识别项目范围内的所有历史遗存，并评估此类资源是否符合纳入国家史迹名录（National Register of Historic Places）的资格。本次考古勘查包含步行地表勘查与铲试掘作业。经勘查，未发现任何考古遗址、人工遗物、文化遗迹或文化堆积。
建筑勘查的目标为识别本次拟建工程可能产生直接视觉负面影响的历史遗存。根据既往建筑勘查结果，TT0205号建筑已被弗吉尼亚历史资源部（Virginia Department of Historic Resources, VDHR）收录为云母总部历史街区（VDHR编号：016-5031）内的独立建筑资源（VDHR编号：016-0349-0011）。弗吉尼亚历史资源部此前已判定，云母总部历史街区不符合国家史迹名录的收录资格，因区内建筑已被改造，不再体现原云母乡村村落的历史风貌。本次建筑勘查未在潜在影响范围内发现此前未被记录的建筑资源。
