Michael Anslinger, RPA Principal Investigator January 28, 2009 Lead Agency: West Virginia Public Service Commission, Case #.: 05-1590-E-CS West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office FR #.: 06-147-GB-23 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Cultural Resource Analyst, Inc. conducted a Phase I archaeological survey for the proposed Beech Ridge Wind Energy project and associated Transmission Support Line in Greenbrier and Nicholas counties, West Virginia. The survey was completed under contract with Potesta & Associates, Inc. on the behalf of Beech Ridge Energy LLC. The records search for this project was completed on July 17, 2008, and the field investigation was conducted between August 25 and September 26, 2008. The area for the Phase I survey was considered the direct Area of Potential Effect. The direct Area of Potential Effect to archaeological sites was defined as the footprint of proposed ground disturbing activities, which includes the development of a wind turbine power generating facility, new access roads, access roads requiring upgrade, a substation, an operation and maintenance facility, and a transmission line. Systematic survey resulted in the identification of six newly recorded archaeological sites; 46Gb445, 46Gb446, 46Gb447, 46Gb448, 46Gb449, and 46Gb450.

During the same period the Wilhelm Culture, named for a mound in Brooke County, was prevalent in the northern Panhandle and nearby areas in Pennsylvania. Page 5 of 60 Measuring Ancient Works Hopewell variants replaced the Armstrong and Wilhelm Cultures. The Armstrong seems to have evolved into the Buck Garden, named for a creek in Nicholas County. They used stone burial mounds and rock overhangs for their dead. The Watson Farm Culture, named for a mound in Hancock County, lived in the northern part of West Virginia.

  • 2010 Compiling GIS Data for West Virginia Trails
    Compiling GIS Data for West Virginia Trails Evan J Fedorko West Virginia GIS Technical Center 12 July 2010 Introduction This report details efforts carried out by the West Virginia GIS Technical Center (WVGISTC) under contract to the West Virginia Department of Transportation to create a statewide GIS database of publically accessible recreational trails within West Virginia. The report is divided into five sections: Objectives, Source Data, Process, and Conclusions and Future Steps. The report also includes several appendices, each of which is referenced and described in the text of the report. Objectives The objectives and deliverables of this project include: 1. A spatial database of trail lines and attributes integrated with the WV State Trail Coordinator's (WVSTC) tabular database of trail information. This dataset will be constructed utilizing the Federal Interagency Trail Data Standard. 2. A gap analysis describing where no spatial data exists for trails. 3. This report, which includes recommended standards and best practices for integration of data in the future and long term maintenance. 4. A statewide trail map. All stated objectives for this project have been completed. 1 Source Data A large number (~35) of spatial datasets were obtained and reviewed for this project. Datasets and associated metadata (if available) were reviewed and compared in order to determine which datasets should be included in the final compilation. Source datasets were compared for currency as well as coverage in order to ensure no repetition of features. Those methods are described in detail in the next section. We also utilized a tabular database of trail information compiled by the WV State Trails Coordinator.
