Road S-13 Improvements: Investigations of 38JA1006 and 38JA1007

Summary

"In January 2005,Civil Engineering Consulting Services, Inc., (CECS) contracted with Brockington and Associates, Inc., to assess the current status and any potential effects of proposed road improvement activities on cultural resources 38JA1006 (Holy Trinity Church) and 38JA1007 (Euhaw Baptist Church), located on Road S-13 in Jasper County. The proposed road improvement project calls for paving a two foot wide strip along Road S-13, followed by a six foot grass shoulder. Site 38JA1006, Holy Trinity Church, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and site 38JA1007, Euhaw Baptist Church, eligible for the NRHP.

The SCDOT is proposing the paving of a two foot wide strip along Road S-13, and installation of by a six foot grass shoulder. The area in front of the Church of the Holy Trinity (38JA1006) has been examined by the Jasper County Maintenance Office and it has been determined that the needed two-foot paved shoulder already exists along S-13 in front of the live oak grove. Therefore, no additional paving or associated shoulder work along this section of S-13 in front of the church would be needed and no impact would occur. The road improvements will not affect 38JA1007. Language should be added to the contact to indicate that no paving will occur along the roadway in front of the live oak grove. Furthermore, Language needs to be added to the contract to ensure that no construction equipment is located on either of the two historic sites to ensure that no unexcepted damage is done to either site."
