Summary

Pacific Environmental Services, Inc. (PES), a MACTEC Company, conducted a Phase I Cultural Resources Survey of approximately 1,676 acres (678 hectares) in Tactical (TAC) Areas 9A, 9B, 9C, 10A, and 10B in the northeastern section of the United States Army Training Center (USATC) at Fort Dix, New Jersey (NJ).

This project was carried out as part of the ongoing efforts of the Fort Dix Historic Preservation Office (FDHPO) program to comply with federal and local cultural resource legislation such as Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (16 United States Code [USC] 407-470t). The purpose of the project was to investigate the potential for potentially significant cultural resources within TAC areas 9A, 9B, 9C, 10A and 10B.

No potentially significant cultural resources were identified during this Phase I Cultural Resources Survey. Approximately 45 historic-era artifacts were collected from the project area during the survey, but these were considered to be related to single-event, modern-era or military land uses of the property that would not qualify as significant historical activities. Similarly, a small number of modern concrete pads and foundations were identified in the survey areas; these were also considered to be of no cultural significance. The project personnel identified no pre-historic cultural materials of any kind during the entirety of the survey.
