Phase I and II Investigations, State Route 3003 Relocation Along Georges Creek 1995, Nicholson Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania
Part of the State Route 3003 Relocation Along Georges Creek 1995 project
Year: 1995
Summary
In 1993, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District conducted Phase I and II investigations in the State Route 3003 relocation project area, situated along Georges Creek in Nicholson Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. These investigations identified five historic period resources, including two house foundations and associated wells, a grist mill foundation, a timber dam foundation, and a Works Progress Administration stone retaining wall.
The highway relocation project will adversely affect all but one of these resources, a house foundation and well which will be avoided by adjustments to the work area boundary. Of those resources which cannot be avoided, the mill and dam have been determined to be potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and are recommended for data recovery. The WPA retaining wall and the second house foundation and well have been determined to be not eligible for the National Register, and no further work is recommended.
