Intensive Cultural Resources Survey of the Folly Road/Camp Road Intersection Improvements Project

Summary

"In March 2007, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural

resources survey of the proposed Folly Road/Camp Road Intersection Improvements Project in

Charleston County, South Carolina. This work was conducted through STV/Ralph Whitehead

Associates, Inc., in advance of road improvement activities in the project area. This survey

provides compliance with federal regulations concerning the management of historic properties

(sites, districts, buildings, structures, or objects listed on or eligible for the National Register of

Historic Places [NRHP]) that may be affected through highway construction as per Section 4(f)

of the US Department of Transportation Act of 1966 as amended in 1983 (49 USC 303), the

National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190), and the National Historic

Preservation Act of 1966 (16 USC 470) as amended through 1992.

Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural resources survey of the

Folly Road/Camp Road Intersection Improvements Project in Charleston County, South

Carolina. Investigators identified no archaeological resources within the archaeological survey

universe. There are no previously recorded archaeological sites within the archaeological survey

universe. The cultural resources survey of the Folly Road/Camp Road Intersection Improvements

Project included background research, archaeological survey, and architectural survey. We

identified three archaeological sites within 0.5 miles of the archaeological survey universe. There

are 16 previously recorded architectural sites within 0.5 miles of architectural survey universe.

We identified 29 new historic architectural resources (Resources 5593–5621) within the

architectural survey universe that are possibly over 50 years of age. We recommend all of the

architectural resources not eligible for the NRHP. Construction of the Folly Road/Camp Road

Intersection Improvements Project as currently designed will not adversely affect any historic

properties. Further management of the proposed Folly Road/Camp Road Intersection

Improvements Project as currently designed with regard to cultural resources is not warranted."
