Bean [email protected] Director of Public Works US Army Installation Management Command 2175 Reilly Road, Stop A Fort Bragg, North Carolina 28310-5000 Re: Determination of Eligibility of the Smith Lake Dam, Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, ER 16-0003 Dear Mr. Bean: Thank you for your letter of December 18, 2015, concerning the above-referenced undertaking. We have reviewed the Determination of Eligibility Report and offer the following comments. Fort Bragg plans to demolish and replace the Smith Lake Dam spillway and construct a low-level outlet and emergency spillway to decrease the risk of downstream flooding. The dam was recently evaluated for its association with military recreational activities at Fort Bragg and was determined ineligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The current report explores the dam’s potential eligibility for its association with the Field Artillery Replacement Training Center and its construction by soldiers in the 981st Engineer Construction Battalion during World War II. We concur with Fort Bragg’s determination that Smith Lake Dam is not eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria A and C and the demolition of the spillway will have no effect on the property. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
