III ABSTRACT OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Orange County is pleased to submit this request for $9000 in 2007 CLG Grant funding to
conduct a Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey on several adjacent tracts (97 acres total)
purchased for the Hollow Rock Access Area/New Hope Preserve, a future low-impact park and
natural area. Approximately thirty (30) acres of the subject property are located within an area
identified as having a high potential for archaeological remains based on its proximity to New
Hope Creek, and all of the property is located within an area identified as having a medium
potential for archaeological remains. (Please see attached maps.) Locat experts also suggest
the likelihood that a historic trading path and/or roadbed and possibly a Native American village
were once located within the vicinity of the future park site, and two Native American •
archaeological sites (310R7 and 31 OR13) have been recorded in the area. Information from
the Cultural Resources Survey will be used to assist with the siting of future facilities at the park
and possible interpretation, to expand our countywide inventory of archaeological resources,
and to develop new public-private partnerships with a shared goal of resource protection.
This project advances many of the draft goals and objectives identified in the North
Carolina Historic Preservation Plan for 2006-2010. Located along the boundary line between
Orange and Durham, the park project represents a multi jurisdictional public-private partnership
including the two counties, the Town of Chapel Hill, the City of Durham, and the Triangle Land
Conservancy (TLC), and as such will have considerable public outreach through the public
process and related news media. Community groups such as the New Hope Creek Corridor
Advisory Committee (NHCCAC) and the Erwin Area Neighborhood Group (FANG) have also
been involved in the project. Anew committee consisting of elected officials, representatives •
Hollow Rock Access Area/New Hope Preserve
Orange County, North Carolina Page 1
from park advisory boards and others will be appointed this winter to design a master plan for
• the park. Information from the Cultural Resources Survey will be shared with the committee to
assist them in their design work.
Orange County has conducted cultural resources surveys as part of the master plan
design process for new parks, beginning with the design of Little River Park and Natural Area in
1999-another public-private partnership with Durham County. Moreover, in October of 2006
the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a new policy requiring cultural and
archaeological surveys for all county development projects, demonstrating their awareness of
the importance of cultural and archaeological resources and the need to develop a proactive
strategy to protect them.
The project also offers the opportunity to re-located site 31 OR7, recorded by an amateur
• many years ago. This Native American site, which contained Middle and Late Archaic and Late
Woodland artifacts, appears to be located within the °high probability area° of the subject
property. Findings from the Cultural Resources Survey will be added to Orange County's
existing GIS data on historic resources and shared with the Office of State Archaeology for
incorporation into the statewide data inventory. Much of the County's historic resource
information will likely become available through the Internet. The locations of county
archaeological sites, however, will not be made accessible to the public.
The long-term educational use of the information collected from the survey will depend
on the findings and possibly a Phase II Survey to further investigate specific sites. But clearly
there are many ways to incorporate findings into low-impact park of this type without disturbing
the actual resources., such as display area(s) near the entrance or parking area, interpretative
• trails with signage, and reconstructions. It would also be possible to create maps or brochures
to link the Hollow Rock Access Area with neighboring resources based on a specific theme,
Hollow Rock Access Area/New Hope Preserve
Orange County, North Carolina Page 2
such as the Occoneechee Village in Hillsborough or Duke Homestead or Bennett Place in
Durham.
In past projects, Orange County staff have prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP)
outlining the scope of the work, and advertised the project to consultants who meet the standard
criteria. To prepare a budget for this project, staff analyzed several of those past proposals to
determine a realistic cost based on the fieldwork (per acre for surface and subsurface
investigation and for reconnaissance), background research and reporting of results. (Please
see attached chart.) Intensive investigation will be appropriate within the 30-acre °high
probability area° and within an area of up to approximately six acres (exact location to be
determined) which will likely be disturbed as part of the construction of trails, parking and other
facilities.
