Proper Prepared for Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 801 E. Main Street, Suite 1000 Richmond, Virginia 23219 Prepared by DC2RVA Project Team 600 E. Main Street, Suite 2102 Richmond, Virginia 23219 July 2015 Kerri S. Barile, Principal Investigator July 2015 ABSTRACT The proposed Washington, D.C. to Richmond (DC2RVA) segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail project was examined through an archaeological background review and predictive model of archaeological site locations. This work will serve to guide subsequent Phase I cultural resource surveys. The proposed project is being completed under the auspice of the Federal Rail Administration (FRA) in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT). Because of the FRA’s involvement, the undertaking is required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The project is being completed as Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) File Review #2014-0666. Previous studies throughout the region provided a basis for projection of relative probability of discovering terrestrial archaeological sites using standard Phase I survey techniques in the DC2RVA project corridor. Environmental variables included distance to major drainages, soil fertility as reflected in the Soil Conservation Service’s identification of soil classes, and disturbance evident on aerial images of the project corridor. Aspects of the built environment also used as variables included the georeferenced location of historic roads and National Park Service (NPS) historic trails that crossed the DC2RVA corridor. Documentary research provided information on previously identified architectural and archaeological resources, Revolutionary War and Civil War camps depicted on period maps, and the American Battlefield Protection Program-defined location of Civil War battlefields. Together, these data allowed the prediction of the settings characterized by a high, moderate, and low probability of discovering archaeological sites, as well as areas where previous disturbance, development, previous archaeological survey, or soil attributes indicate that archaeological sites will not be discovered in these areas. Those areas where previous disturbance or soil attributes indicate that archaeological sites will not be discovered are not given a probability ranking For the purposes of the predictive model, the area of potential effects (APE) was defined as a linear corridor that extends 50 feet (15.2 m) on both sides of the center of the existing 123-mile (198-km) project corridor, an area encompassing 2,109.5 acres (853.7 ha). The proposed DC2RVA project is expected to primarily impact near-surface resources; for this reason, the predictive model does not include deep testing. It is recommended that 90 percent (1,890.8 acres [765.2 ha]) of the 2,109.5-acre (853.7-ha) APE should not be tested due to previous archaeological survey meeting DHR standards or its location outside of even the lowest- ranked probability areas. The results reflect the extensive development in Fairfax County and the cities of Alexandria, Fredericksburg, and Richmond, as well as the construction and maintenance of the existing rail corridor. Of the remaining 218.7 acres (88.5 ha), 156.8 (63.4 ha) were classified as high probability, 46.9 acres (19 ha) as moderate probability, and 15.0 acres (6.1 ha) as low probability. It is recommended that all of the high and moderate probability areas, a total of 203.7 acres (82.4 ha), and a 10 percent sample of the low probability area (approximately 1.5 acres [0.6 ha]) be subjected to shovel test pit and metal detector survey, where appropriate. The areas recommended for testing occur primarily in the less developed DC to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail i Archaeological Predictive Model ABSTRACT segments located between Fredericksburg and Richmond. Additionally, it is recommended that all sites within the APE previously determined eligible or potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP as well as those sites that have not been evaluated by the DHR should be reexamined regardless of their probability ranking/location within the probability model. After reexamination, these resources should be evaluated as necessary in coordination with DHR.

Hundred Road) from four lanes divided to six lanes divided between Jefferson Davis Highway (Route 1/301) and Interstate 95 (I-95). The project would also include the addition of left and right turn lanes, sidewalk, curb and gutter, storm sewer, traffic signal, pavement markings, signs, and maintenance of traffic. Offset credits would be purchased from a nutrient bank to achieve stormwater quality requirements. The majority of the project area is included in the drainage area for Chesterfield County’s Route 10/I-95 Regional BMP located in the southeast quadrant of the I-95 and Route 10 Interchange. The storm system to the BMP from the eastern project terminus has been verified to be able to handle the increased stormwater from the project. A small portion of the project area(s) flows to the south and west.

  • The Rendezvous Apartments Hopewell, Virginia
    Market Analysis The Rendezvous Apartments Hopewell, Virginia Prepared for: Mr. Tarvaris McCoy Hopewell Redevelopment & Housing Authority March, 2021 S. Patz and Associates, Inc. 46175 Westlake Drive, Suite 400 Potomac Falls, Virginia 20165 1 March 15, 2021 Mr. Tarvaris J. McCoy Chief Development Officer Hopewell Redevelopment and Housing Authority 350 E. Poythress Street Hopewell, VA 23860 Tarvaris: Attached is our full, narrative market study of the proposed new construction, 64- unit, The Rendezvous Apartments, to be built in the central portion of the City of Hopewell and within close proximity to the downtown area of Hopewell, as well as to nearby commercial, government, schools, parks and other public amenities for new residents. Once built, The Rendezvous Apartments will have rent and income restrictions, but no age restrictions. The Rendezvous Apartments will be unique in that all 64 apartment units will be project-based Section 8 rents, with rents at or below 30 percent of resident incomes. This will also be the newest and best designed apartment property in the City, as well as an attractively located one. However, the apartment proposal needs to be evaluated based on the ability to rent units, if the Section 8 rent restrictions are removed. The report does that and shows full market support for the 64-unit apartment proposal for residents who do not need rental assistance. The detailed market data that support these findings and conclusions are presented in the attached report. All detailed and economic and market data that support our report findings are included. Please call if additional data or clarification are needed.

  • CHAPTER 8:HISTORICAL and CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview a Brief History of Chesterfield County
    CHAPTER 8: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview Chesterfield County enjoys the distinction of being an area with one of the longest periods of continuous habitation in the country. In looking towards the future, it is important to understand, and to appropriately preserve and promote the county’s rich historical and cultural foundation. Not only can students experience hands-on learning at these historic sites, but Chesterfield County can also increase local business development through tourism. DESIRED OUTCOMES OF THIS CHAPTER: • Preservation of Historic Places and Structures • Leverage Historic Assets to Create a Sense of Place and Foster Tourism • Support Partnerships and Private Preservation of Historic Resources • Utilize Historic Places for Events, Education and Other Unique Experiences A Brief History of Chesterfield County The county was originally inhabited by the Appamatuck Tribe, one of many tribes ruled by Chief Wahasonacock. In 1611, Sir Thomas Dale led a group of colonists from the original English settlement at Jamestown to the “Citie of Henricus” located on Farrar’s Island. In 1613, Dale seized various lands around the area where John Rolfe cultivated a salable variety of tobacco for English export for the Virginia Company of London. Tobacco became the colony’s main export and source of revenue. In 1619, the first iron furnace, and one of the first industrial developments in America, was established on Falling Creek near the James River. Other early American accomplishments included private property ownership, beginning of public education and experiments in representative government. In March 1622, Chief Wahasonacock’s successor, Chief Opechancanough, launched a coordinated attack on area settlements, many of which never recovered and were abandoned.

The SEHSR project involves the development, implementation, and operation of high speed passenger rail service in the approximately 500-mile travel corridor from Washington, DC through Richmond, Virginia and Raleigh, North Carolina to Charlotte, North Carolina. The project involves two general types of work: modifications to the rail corridor to accommodate high speed rail and changes to the surrounding road system to eliminate at-grade road crossings. The corridor between Richmond and the North Carolina state line has been the subject of several cultural resource investigations over the past decade. This includes the Area of Potential Effect (APE) surrounding the rail corridor itself as well as all the APE of all road modification areas surrounding the rail line. Several alternatives were under consideration during the Draft Environmental Review Statement (DEIS) process (VA1, VA2, and VA3; VA4 was also under review in some locales as an avoidance alternative).
