Analysis and Report Preparation, NRHP Assessment of 15TR182

This proposal has been prepared in response to a request from staff of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), Division of Environmental Analysis for a proposal and cost estimate for conducting a Phase 2 National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility assessment of archaeological site 15TR182 in Trigg County, Kentucky. The NRHP assessment will be conducted in a several stages, with results from earlier stages helping to more effectively target later stages of work. The archaeological site was identified in a recent Phase I archaeological survey of additional right-of-way (ROW) for a bridge replacement along KY 1585 in northeastern Trigg County, near Caledonia, Kentucky. The work that will be conducted is intended to provide an NRHP eligibility evaluation of the portion of 15TR182 that will be affected by the proposed road construction. The site extends outside the proposed new ROW, and those portions of the site will not be impacted by the proposed construction, nor will they be evaluated for NRHP eligibility. Determination of the NRHP eligibility status of 15TR182 is intended to help KYTC determine if additional work is needed at the site, and the level of additional work (if any) that may be required to mitigate the impact of proposed construction.
