  • Fm 518 B from Fm 270 to Fm 518 Txdot
    RECONNAISSANCE-LEVEL SURVEY REPORT FM 518 BYPASS MIDDLE ALIGNMENT: FROM FM 270 TO FM 518 GALVESTON COUNTY, TEXAS TXDOT CSJ: 0912-37-139 JULY 2008 SUBMITTED TO: QUADRANT CONSULTANTS INC. HOUSTON, TX BY: EMILY THOMPSON PAYNE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN HARDY·HECK·MOORE, INC. 611 S. CONGRESS AVENUE, SUITE 400 AUSTIN, TX 78704-1700 512/478-8014 [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the results of a reconnaissance-level survey of above-ground historic resources constructed in 1965 or earlier that may be affected by construction of the proposed Middle Bypass Alternative for FM 518 in League City, Galveston County, Texas. The proposed FM 518 Bypass would be a four-lane highway, 80-feet wide, which would be constructed along a new alignment. The proposed Middle Bypass Alternative would roughly parallel an existing canal from its intersection with FM 270 (Egret Bay Boulevard) to FM 2094, at which point the proposed roadway would trend south to its terminus at FM 518, a travelling total distance of approximately one mile. The proposed road construction project will be conducted for the City of League City, Texas, which is under contract with Huitt-Zollars Inc. and Quadrant Consultants. The TxDOT Control Section Job (CSJ) No. for the project is 0912-37-139. Based on the Programmatic Agreement for Transportation Undertakings (PATU) among TxDOT, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the new alignment was 300 feet wide. The survey documented all historic-age resources within the APE, as well as historic-age resources located on parcels of land that extend into the APE.
