PROJECT SIZE: 94-acres
NEAREST WATERWAY: White Oak Swamp Creek
LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE: 37.491985, -77.337303
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE:
The applicant is requesting 22-SPGP-RCIR authorization for commercial development to construct an industrial storage warehouse facility for land and air logistics distribution.
AUTHORITY:
Permits for the work in waters, including wetlands, are required pursuant to Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217). The Corps must comply with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. § 306108), 36 CFR Part 800, regulations implementing Section 106 of the NHPA and 33 CFR Part 325, Appendix C, Processing of Department of the Army Permits.
PURPOSE OF PUBLIC NOTICE:
In compliance with regulations implementing Section 106 of the NHPA, the Corps is soliciting comments on the proposed project from the public; federal, state, and local agencies and officials; Native American Tribes; and other interested parties. This public notice provides an opportunity for members of the public to assist in identification of historic properties, express their views on the undertaking’s effects on historic properties and resolution of adverse effects. Comments are requested to assist in evaluation of the effects of the project on historic properties and evaluation of alternatives or modifications which could avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects on historic properties.
Historic Property Identification:
The Corps identified historic properties within the Corps permit area through a review of the Virginia Cultural Resource Information System (VCRIS). A Phase I survey was completed by Circa, Cultural Resource Management, LLC in August 2023. The Phase I identified several archaeological and architectural resources within the project site.
ADVERSE EFFECT DETERMINATION:
In consultation with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR), and in consideration of views concerning effects provided by consulting parties, the Corps applied the criteria of adverse effect to historic properties within the permit area. The Corps determined that the proposed federal action would result in an adverse effect to Darbytown and New Market Roads Battlefield (DHRID: 043-5071), Darbytown Road Battlefield (DHRID: 043-5072), and Fair Oaks and Darbytown Battlefield (DHRID: 043-5073). In addition, further consultation is occurring regarding archeological resources onsite.
The Corps is consulting further to develop and evaluate alternatives or modifications to the undertaking that could avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects on historic properties. The Corps, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the permittee, and other consulting parties are proposing to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) under Section 106 of the NHPA.
