APPENDIX D Cultural Resources Survey Report - US Environmental ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Richard Grubb & Associates, Inc. (RGA) of Cranbury, New Jersey performed a Stage IA cultural
resources survey within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the Puchack Well Field Site,
Operable Unit 2 Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study project in Pennsauken Township, Camden
County, New Jersey for CDM Federal Programs Corporation of New York, New York. The
remedial investigation/feasibility study within the Puchack Well Field Site Operable Unit 2 is being
performed by CDM Federal Programs Corporation under the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Response Action Contract (RAC2) program pursuant to work assignment
number 007-RICO-02JL. The APE consists of four non-contiguous areas, designated SGL
Surrounding Property, Advance Process Supply, King Arthur, and Penler Anodizing. The Stage IA
cultural resources survey assessed the potential for significant archaeological resources within the
APE for the proposed remedial investigation/feasibility study project. The Stage IA survey was
performed as a requirement of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as
amended, and meets the standards of the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office.
Background research indicated that no previously identified historic or prehistoric archaeological
sites are located within the APE. The Camden and Amboy Railroad Historic District is situated
adjacent to, but outside, the SGL Surrounding Property portion of the APE. No historic properties
are located within the APE. Based upon the results of background research, environmental setting
and a site visit, the APE was characterized by significant mid-to-late twentieth-century grading
disturbances, resulting in a low potential to contain intact, significant prehistoric and historic
archaeological resources. RGA recommends no further cultural resources survey.
