Notes

General Note: "No previously unrecorded archaeological sites were identified along the project corridor. One historic structure was identified along the project corridor. This site (2755) is a fairly recently occupied abandoned house. Shovel tests in the area were negative for cultural materials. Several previously recorded historic sites are near the project area, including St Marks Church (ca 1900) and the Chavous cemetery (ca. 1905), but should not be directly impacted by proposed improvements. The newly identified house site is not eligible for listing on the NRHP and no further cultural resource study of the corridor is recommended."
