Cultural Resources Survey of the Lee Nuclear Station Utilities Project

Year: 2009

Summary

"In December 2008 and January 2009, Brockington

and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural

resources survey of the Lee Nuclear Station on-site

utilities. This survey includes the proposed wastewater

line, on-site transmission lines, construction spoils area,

and construction rebar laydown area within the Lee

Nuclear Station in Cherokee County, South Carolina.

These investigations included background research,

archaeological survey, and architectural survey. The

work was conducted to determine if the undertaking

will affect historic properties (i.e., sites, buildings,

structures, objects, and districts eligible for or listed on

the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP]).

Investigators identified three archaeological sites

(38CK138, 38CK139, and 38CK143) and one isolated

find (Isolate 1) during the cultural resources survey. We

recommend these resources not eligible for the NRHP.

No further management consideration of sites 38CK138,

38CK139, and 38CK143 and Isolate 1 is warranted. We

also revisited the reported locations of two previously

recorded sites (38CK14 and 38CK15) but found no

evidence of these sites.

Agha et al. (2007a) recorded 12 previously

undocumented historic architectural resources within a

one-mile radius of the primary construction area for the

Lee Nuclear Station; these resources were determined not

eligible for the NRHP. The senior architectural historian

also assessed the effects of the proposed wastewater line

on the Ninety-Nine Islands Dam (Resource 0042.021).

The senior architectural historian recommended that

the proposed wastewater line would have no effect

on Resource 0042.021. On March 6, 2009, the South

Carolina State Historic Preservation Office concurred

with this recommendation. ..."
