John Milner Associates, Inc. (JMA) conducted a Stage lA cultural resources survey of the Iceland Coin Laundry Superfund Site, located in the City of Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey. The Stage lA survey was conducted on behalf of CDM Federal Programs Corporation (CDM). CDM is conducting a remedial investigation/feasibility study at the Iceland Coin Laundry Site on behalf of Region II of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This report has been prepared to assist EPA in fulfilling their obligations under Section C 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
The Iceland Coin Laundry Superfund Site (the Project Area) is a 1.48-acre property located at '•• 1888 South Delsea Drive (New Jersey State Route 47) in a commercial/residential area of ^ Vineland. The former Iceland Coin Laundry facility is the only building within the Project Area, and is currently used for a retail appliance and jewelry store operating under the name Maniero's. y: The Project Area is located on relatively higher ground approximately 800 feet south of Parvins Lii Branch (a tributary of the Maurice River). Based on the quantity, significance, and locations of previously recorded archeological sites in the area, the Project Area should be considered to have TI a moderate or high sensitivity for prehistoric resources. Additionally, the 1876 Stewart Atlas of jJ Cumberland County depicts the residence of J. Ivens within or immediately north of the Project Area. James Ivens bought property in Vineland in 1865 and apparently constructed this residence rn between 1865 and 1876. However, previous ground disturbance within the Project Area has [tV reduced the archeological potential of the property.
The results of a recent geophysical survey conducted by Hager-Richter Geoscience, Inc., V^^ information compiled by CDM regarding the recent history and use of the property, and observations generated by JMA's field reconnaissance, all indicate that the Project Area has been subjected to repeated episodes of previous disturbance. Theses episodes include disturbance associated with the ca. 1930 construction of the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility, installation and removal of various septic systems and public sewer connections, installation of underground utilities across the property, and paving of most portions of the Project Area. In the opinion of JMA, the cumulative impact of these episodes of previous disturbances makes it highly imlikely E that potentially significant archeological deposits are extant within the Project Area.
In the opinion of JMA, the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility is not architecturally or historically significant. There are no previously identified historic-architectural resources located within 500 feet of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area. All of the existing buildings within 500 feet of the Project Area are mid-to-late twentieth century commercial or residential buildings that lack distinctive architectural characteristics or historical associations. Furthermore, none of the proposed remediation activities associated with the Project include significant visual impacts to the vicinity of the Project Area. In the opinion of JMA, proposed remediation activities at the ^•: i Iceland Coin Laundry Superfiind Site will not have any impacts on historic-architectural resources.
In the opinion of JMA, the extent of previous disturbance within the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area makes it highly imlikely that potentially significant archeological materials or deposits are extant within the Project Area. In the opinion of JMA, no additional cultural resources work is necessary in association with the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area.

'^~ 1.0 INTRODUCTION
n 1.1 PURPOSE AND GOALS OF THE INVESTIGATION Ll John Milner Asspciates, Inc. (JMA) conducted a Stage lA cultural resources survey of the "n Iceland Coin Laundry Superfund Site, located in the City of Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey. The Stage lA survey was conducted on behalf of CDM Federal Programs Corporation (CDM). CDM is conducting a remedial investigation/feasibility study at the Iceland Coin r-i Laundry Site on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The I information and recommendations contained in this report are intended to assist EPA in complying with their obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and „ the implementing regulations of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36 CFR 800).
'•'• The purpose of the Stage lA cultural resources survey is to identify previously recorded _^ archeological or historic sites that may be affected by a proposed undertaking and to evaluate the j . potential for there to be previously unrecorded archeological or historic properties within the area '^ that could be affected by the proposed undertaking. The Stage lA survey consists of a documentary study and field reconnaissance of the Project Area. The information contained in this report is intended to help assess what effects the proposed remediation of the Iceland Coin IJ Laundry Site will have on archeological or historic resources. All research and report preparation were conducted in accordance with the guidance provided in Section 2.4 of the January 1988 rni CERCLA/SARA Environmental Review Manual and the New Jersey Historic Preservation [^ Office's Guidelines for Phase lA Archeological Investigations and Guidelines for Preparing Cultural Resources Management Archeological Reports. • U 1.2 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION h7| The Iceland Coin Laundry Superfund Site (the Project Area) is located at 1888 South Delsea [J Drive (New Jersey State Route 47) in the City of Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey (Figure 1). The Project Area is located in a commercial/residential area of Vineland. The Project i-j Area measures 194 feet (north to south) by 333 feet (east to west) resulting in an area of 1.48 i acres (Figure 2). The former Iceland Coin Laundry facility is the only building within the Project Area, and is currently used for a retail appliance and jewelry store operating under the name P Maniero's (Plate 1).
(•;• Between approximately 1963 and 1971 the former owner of the property operated the Iceland Coin Laundry and Dry Cleaners from the building located within the Project Area. The coin- operated dry cleaning units in the facility used Perchloroethylene (PCE), a volatile organic ^ compound. Between 1987 and 1991, the City of Vineland Health Department collected potable _ well samples at residences in the vicinity of the Project Area and documented quantities of PCE .;; and other volatile organic compounds that exceed State and Federal maximum contaminant iJ levels. In 1991 the New Jersey Department ofEnvironmental Protection conducted a soil gas survey in the vicinity of the Project Area, and identified the highest levels of PCE and other p contaminants in the northwest corner of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area (CDM 2002). y . Based on the results of these studies, the Iceland Coin Laundry Site was referred to the EPA as a iq hazardous waste site. The Stage lA cultural resources investigation presented in this report is a I- . li;J component of EPA's initial investigations conceming proposed remediation of the site.

301565 2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH n 2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT
The Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area is located in the outer coastal plain of southem New 7] Jersey. The outer coastal plain is the largest physiographic province in the state, occupying J approximately 3,400 square miles including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland Counties. The region is characterized by relatively uniform topography and geology, with low f~| topographic relief and predominantly sandy soils (Grossman-Bailey 2001:11). The Project Area is
•u located in an area characterized by Hammonton loamy sand, 0 to percent slopes (Soil Map Unit HaA; Figure 3) and Sassafras loamy sand, 2 to 5 percent slopes (Soil Map Unit SrB; Figure 3). r-| The Hammonton series is characterized by nearly level to gently sloping, moderately well drained ! I to somewhat poorly drained soils. Soil stratigraphy within the Hammonton series consists of a loamy sand plow zone (up to 10 inches thick), underlain by yellowish-brown sandy loam subsoil ^ (to 24 inches). The substratum is mottled yellow loamy sand (to 42 inches) underlain by yellowish-brown gravelly sand (USDA 1978:18). The Sassafras series is characterized by nearly •'^ level to sloping, well-drained soils. Soil stratigraphy within the Sassafras series consists of dark yellowish-brown sandy loam plow zone (up to 10 inches thick), underlain by yellowish-brown sandy clay loam subsoil (to 30 inches). The substratum is brownish-yellow loamy sand to a depth U of60 inches (USDA 1978:25-26). n During the Pleistocene vast quantities of water were trapped as ice in the glaciers. As a result, sea y levels were considerably lower than at present and large tracts of the continental shelf were exposed as dry land. At the height of the Wisconsin glaciation, ca. 18,000 B.P. (Before Present), ^^ sea levels were at least 90 meters below their present level and the coast was located as much as y 100 kilometers east of its current position. The retreat of the glaciers initiated a period of dramatic topographic and ecological change, including a rapid rate of sea-level rise begiiming ca. 14,000 B.P. By 6,000 years ago sea levels were only about nine meters below their current position, and continued to rise at a slower rate reaching about two meters below present by 2,000 B.P. (Funk 1991:52; Grossman-Bailey 2001:20-23; Marshall 1982:18).
Although the outer coastal plain was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene, the colder and drier climate associated with the glaciers resulted in tundra-like conditions in coastal New Jersey. The post-glacial environment supported a diversity of flora and fauna, including mammoth, giant bison, saber-tooth tigers, giant ground sloth, mastodon, and prehistoric horse (Eisenberg 1978; Marshall 1982:18). After 12,000 B.P., the tundra environment gradually came to include more cold-adapted evergreen species. Palynological evidence indicates that vegetative and corresponding faunal communities of the outer coastal plain changed concurrently with the warming climate. A pine-oak-hemlock forest characterized the region by 10,500 B.P., followed by a stable pine-oak association (8,500 B.P.) that has persisted relatively unchanged until the present (Funk 1991:52; Grossman-Bailey 2001:24). y 2.2 PREfflSTORic PERIOD CULTURAL CONTEXTS
The prehistory of Eastem North America is commonly divided into three major temporal periods: Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Woodland. These periods are each characterized by distinctive subsistence practices, social organization, settlement systems, and material culture. The definition of these cultural systems and an explanation for changes in culture through time provide a structure upon which archeological research questions can be framed. Archeologists continually 2 ICELAND COIN LAUNDRY SUPERFUND SITE CITY OF VINELAND, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
301566 2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
PA debate many details regarding chronology, adaptation, and culture change but a generally accepted outline of regional prehistory is presented here. n 2.2.1 THE PALEO-INDIAN PERIOD, CA. 12,500 TO 10,000 B.P.
L Radiocarbon age estimates of sites associated with Paleo-Indian fluted points indicate that human beings first occupied New Jersey at least 11,500 years ago. The distinctive lithic (stone tool) components of Paleo-Indian assemblages consist of long, fluted projectile points and a variety of end scrapers, side scrapers, knives, gravers, and perforators. The association of fluted Clovis points with extinct megafauna such as mammoth and mastodon at sites in the westem and southem United States suggests that Paleo-Indians were largely dependent on big game hunting for subsistence. However, there is no clear evidence for Paleo-Indians hunting Pleistocene fauna other than caribou in the northeastem United States. Like historically documented hunters and gatherers, Paleo-Indian subsistence pattems were likely very dependent on the collection of a variety of fiiiit and vegetable resources. Paleo-Indian peoples probably lived in small, mobile bands and their choice of settlement seems to have been conditioned by access to upland forest resources, low-lying swamp areas, medium to large sized drainages, and high-quality lithic sources (Eisenberg 1978:123; Fiedel 2000; Grossman-Bailey 2001:189; Grumet 1990; Levine 1990).
Fishermen have recovered a large number of mammoth and mastodon teeth from the continental shelf, indicating that the exposed portions of the continental shelf were inhabitable in the early ir- post-glacial period. Archeologists assume that numerous Paleo-bidian and Early Archaic period sites in the northeast were located off of the present coastline, and were subsequently inundated by the post-glacial rise in sea levels (Funk 1991:57; Grossman-Bailey 2001:166-168; Gmmet 1990; Marshall 1982:20-21). There are sixteen known Paleo-Indian sites on the outer coastal J plain of New Jersey, most of which are the locations of single projectile point finds. Some of these Paleo-Indian sites represent components of larger sites that exhibit more extensive occupations during later periods. Sites in the vicinity of the Project Area that have yielded Paleo- Indian artifacts include the Indian Head and Martelli sites (see Section 4.1; Grossman-Bailey 2001:166-168).
2.2.2 THE ARCHAIC PERIOD, CA. 10,000 TO 2,700 B.P.
The Archaic Period subsumes a diverse group of hunting and gathering cultures that occupied North America throughout the dramatic environmental changes of the early Holocene. Archaic cultures in the Northeast are generally characterized as small, mobile social groups, and their sites are usually small and lacking permanent stmctures, fortifications, extensive storage pits, and elaborate mortuary remains. Archaic settlement and subsistence practices in New Jersey were organized around seasonal movements between coastal and inland riverine areas with a reliance on both woodland and aquatic resources (Kraft and Mounier 1982a:61; Tuck 1978).
Very few Early Archaic Period (ca. 10,000 to 8,000 B.P.) sites have been excavated or radiocarbon dated in the Northeast. As a result these sites are usually identified by the presence of projectile points that resemble types found in better-documented, stratified sites in the southeastem United States. Early Archaic sites in New Jersey are identified based on the presence of Palmer and Kirk projectile points, in association with a variety of scrapers, choppers, and ground stone woodworking tools (Kraft and Mounier 1982a:65). There are 19 previously recorded Early Archaic sites in the outer coastal plain of New Jersey, most of which are found on s ICELAND COIN LAUNDRY SUPERFUND SITE CITY OF VINELAND, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
301567 2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
-j^Mk high ground near stream confluences. Sites with Early Archaic components in the vicinity of the "-^t^ Project Area include the Indian Head and Martelli sites (see Section 4.1; Grossman-Bailey 2001:203-204). Fl U The Middle Archaic (ca. 8,000 to 6,000 B.P.) is often characterized as a period of adaptation to the emerging temperate climactic conditions of the Holocene, including the exploitation of a wide S variety of floral and faunal species similar to those of the modem era. Middle Archaic sites in New Jersey are identified by distinctive bifurcated-base projectile points including the LeCroy and Kanawha types, and slightly later stemmed points such as the Neville, Stark, and Mortow 0 Mountain types. The few known Middle Archaic components in New Jersey have typically been identified in plowed, multi-component (or otherwise disturbed) contexts. As a result, there remains a relatively poor understanding of the Middle Archaic in New Jersey. Within the outer f-j coastal plain there are 43 known sites with Middle Archaic components (Grossman-Bailey [j 2001:209-224; Kraft and Mounier 1982a:66). r— The Late Archaic Period (ca. 6,000 to 3,000 B.P.) in New Jersey has been traditionally identified j by the presence of distinctive narrow stemmed projectile points. Local variants of this tradition include Bare Island, Poplar Island, Lackawaxen Stemmed, Wading River, Sylvan Lake Side Notched, and Taconic Stemmed projectile points, typically manufactured from locally available shale, slate, argillite, quartz, quartzite, rhyolite, jasper, flint, and chert. The foraging economy of the Late Archaic was based on the scheduled exploitation of specific seasonally available resources, including an emphasis on marine resources as evident from large shell middens on y coastal and riverine sites. There are 199 previously recorded sites with Late Archaic components Lil in the outer coastal plain of New Jersey. The significantly greater numbers of sites in the region, jMk the larger size of some sites, and the diversification of exploited environments during this period F^^B may indicate substantial population growth (Funk 1991:54-55; Grossman-Bailey 2001:225-228; L) Kraft and Mounier 1982a:69; Tuck 1978). m 2.2.3 THE WOODLAND PERIOD, CA. 3,000 B.P. TO EUROPEAN CONTACT i LJ ^ The Woodland Period is distinguished from earlier prehistoric periods by significant changes in n>i technology (notably the widespread production and use of ceramics), more intensive subsistence i; practices (often including the domestication of plants), increasing trends towards sedentism and larger settlements, and changes in social organization. In New Jersey, archeologists frequently p discuss the Early and Middle Woodland Periods (ca. 3,000 to 1,000 B.P.) as one continuum .,• distinguished by rapid cultural change, extensive trade networks, and innovations in technology. In the earlier stages of the Early/Middle Woodland Period, artifact types continue to resemble fishtail projectile points, steatite bowls, and cmde ceramics of the Terminal Archaic. Diagnostic artifacts of the Early/Middle Woodland in New Jersey include lozenge-shaped and triangular projectile points, and a variety of plain, cord-marked, and net-impressed ceramic wares. Elaborate mortuary sites with graves containing caches of exotic lithics, copper beads, smoking pipes, y amulets, and gorgets indicate that extensive trade networks were operating during this period til (Williams and Thomas 1982:107-109). y The Late Woodland Period (ca. 1,000 to 400 B.P.) in New Jersey was marked by more intensive y and larger village settlements surrounded by horticultural gardens located along major drainages, and continued exploitation of interior and coastal foraging sites. The cultivation of domesticates PI such as maize, beans, tobacco, squash, and sunflower began during the Late Woodland. Diagnostic artifacts of the period include triangular projectile points, ground-stone pestles and

301568 2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
celts, perforated pendants and effigy objects, clay pipes, and assorted ceramic styles (Kraft and Mounier 1982b:141-147). There are 257 known Late Woodland sites in the outer coastal plain. The relatively greater number of sites from this period in the region is attributed to population increase, the greater visibility of Late Woodland sites due to distinctive pottery styles and triangular projectile points, and the comparatively recent occupation and abandonment of these sites (Grossman-Bailey 2001:310).
2.3 HISTORIC PERIOD CULTURAL CONTEXTS
In the Late Woodland and Early Contact periods, New Jersey was inhabited by linguistically similar groups of the larger Lenape (or Delaware) cultural group of Native Americans. The Lenape generally lived in multi-family longhouse stmctures about 20 feet wide and up to 100 feet long. These houses were usually arranged as loose clusters in hamlets as opposed to nucleated villages. In addition to speaking a similar dialect of the Eastem Algonkian language, Lenape groups generally shared similar modes of subsistence, settlement, social organization, and forms of material culture. In the early seventeenth century, the fur trade served as the primary motivation for Dutch colonization of the Lower Hudson Valley. Interactions with the Dutch and participation in the ftir trade resulted in rapid and dramatic changes in the economy, social relations, and material culture of local Delaware groups (Goddard 1978; Kraft 1991).
2.3.1 CONTACT AND COLONIAL PERIODS .
In the early seventeenth century, southem New Jersey was the territory of the Unalachtigo, translated as "The People Who Lived by the Ocean". Scholars estimate that there were approximately 600 Unalachtigo living in Cumberland County at the time of initial European settlement in the seventeenth century. The Unalachtigo were reported to have lived in villages along the Cohansey and Maurice Rivers (Elmer 1869:6; Woodruff and Palmer n.d.). Native American settlements dating to the Contact Period are recognized in the archeological record by small quantities of European manufactured goods, such as metal kettles, tools, projectile points, omamental brass cones, glass beads, bottles, jugs, and cloth among larger quantities of Native American material culture and refuse (Williams and Kardas 1982:191).
The government of Holland formally established the colony of New Netherlands in 1614, claiming exclusive rights to trade on all lands between the Connecticut and Delaware Rivers. The seat of government for this new colony was at New Amsterdam, a small Dutch fort located in Lower Manhattan. In 1621 the charter for the colony was transferred to the Dutch West India Company, an armed mercantile association formed to serve as the agents of Dutch colonialism in the New World. Throughout the New Netherlands colony, the growth of the European population and encroachment upon Native American lands lead to increasing tensions between the two groups. The infroduction of European diseases in the early seventeenth century resulted in the decimation of Native American populations. These losses were compounded by casualties in wars both among Native groups and with the colonists (Brasser 1978; Goddard 1978; Kraft 1991; Williams and Kardas 1982:191).
Early colonial settlement in New Jersey was largely restricted to the northem portions of the state. In the 1670s English Quakers, as well as Swedes and Finns from what-is-now Pennsylvania, began settling in the southwestem areas of New Jersey. By 1700 these groups established agricultural settlements on the outer coastal plain. Many Swedish colonists settled along the Maurice River. Population density remained comparatively low on the outer coastal plain
R ICELAND COIN LAUNDRY SUPERFUND SITE CITY OF VINELAND; CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
301569 ri 2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
throughout the eighteenth century; by 1800 the population density in Cumberland County remained at only 20 people per square mile (Elmer 1869; Wacker 1982:199-202). y In the eighteenth century there were few significant settlements in Cumberland County, and y Greenwich was the largest town where most of the business transactions in the area occurred. The earliest landowners in the county were Quakers who resided in Greenwich. A few wealthy Tj individuals held title to large estates or land grants that comprised most of the lands in ili Cumberland County throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Most residents of Cumberland County were Patriots or Patriot-sympathizers during the Revolutionary War. FT] Residents of Greenwich conducted a tea-buming raid in' 1774 in imitation of the Boston Tea [; j Party, and The Plain Dealer, the first newspaper in New Jersey established to support the cause for American independence, was pubhshed in Bridgeton in 1775-1776 (CC 2002; Elmer 1869:2- r- 14; Wacker 1982:199-202).
"^ 2.3.2 THE ORIGINS OF VINELAND
Millville Township was created from the Maurice River Township by an act of the state li; legislature in 1801 (Elmer 1869:30). The northem portion of the township (including the Project Area) was sparsely settled and mostiy forested through the 1850s. In the early and mid- nineteenth-century the nearby towns of Millville, Greenwich, and Bridgeton grew and prospered by engaging in the businesses of agriculture, lumbering, and glass manufacturing. During this period the area that would later become Vineland was characterized by swampland and forestland and had very few permanent settlers. Early industry in the Vineland area was restricted to UJ sawmills that constmcted dams along local streams to produce waterpower (De Maio 1998). m Railroad service was established between Millville and Glassboro in 1860. In 1861 a Philadelphia lawyer and entrepreneur named Charles Landis purchased a 20,000-acre tract of land that included the northem portions of Millville Township, as well as smaller, adjoining parcels in Gloucester and Atlantic Counties. It is estimated that only about 50 people resided on this tract at the time of Landis's purchase, and the only existing roads were Horse Bridge Road (now Main Road), Souder's Mill Road (Lincoln Avenue), and Malaga Road (Delsea Drive). Malaga Road had been established as early as 1826 as a coach route between Camden and Cape May (De Maio 1998; Elmer 1869:84; Fiedel 1992:11).
Charles Landis began planning and laying out a town centered on the railroad between Forest Grove and Millville, located about 2.5 miles east of the Maurice River and about 7 miles north of Millville. Landis envisioned creating an "ideal community", a city with factories, stores, churches, and recreation surrounded by orchards, farms, and vineyards, that he would name f^i Vineland. The 20,000-acre tract was generally swampy in character, however Landis recognized that the fertile land and long growing season were suitable for growing fhiits and vegetables, that the forests would provide timber for constmction, and that the generally level topography was ideal for settlement and development. In August of 1861 constmction began on the first street in I Vineland, a 100-foot wide road named Landis Avenue that intersected the railroad and defined the center of the settlement (CC 2002; De Maio 1998; Elmer 1869:84,86-89).
'dij The first house constmcted within the square-mile community of Vineland was completed in . Febmary 1862. The current grid-like street plan in Vineland was established in the early 1860s. [;"| Landis constmcted a Post Office and received appointment of Post Master, direct train service was estabhshed from Philadelphia and New York to Vineland, and in 1863 an Episcopal Church and academy were built within the town. By January 1864 Landis had sold 1,000 acres of his ___^______6 y ICELAND COIN LAUNDRY SUPERFUND SITE CITY OF VINELAND, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
301570 2.0 BACKGROUND RESEARCH
'i^^k property; by 1865 approximately 5,500 people had settled in Vineland. In March 1864 Landis •"^/F Township was established; the new municipality was taken from Millville Township and included more than half of the territory of Millville. Landis exercised strong control over his town. Each j settler was responsible for improving the lands they purchased, including planting trees along the '^- roads at the front of their property. Fences were not required, and livestock were forbidden to wander at large. Landis was strictiy opposed to the evils of liquor, and the selling of alcoholic y beverages was forbidden within Vineland (CC 2002; De Maio 1998; Elmer 1869:86-89; Mounier lij 1918:8-9). y There were a number of notable events in the early history of Vineland. Prior to the 1860s, local __ cattle ranchers used the area around Vineland as grazing lands. With the arrival of settlers in Vineland after 1862, these cattle were prone to trample the gardens and newly improved n properties of Vineland's early residents. In 1863, 63 men from Vineland, including Charles y| Landis, formed a society called the "Cattle League", organized for the explicit purpose of shooting any wandering cattle or hogs found on their property. Local cattle ranchers threatened to shoot the settlers if they were found harassing the cattle, and the ensuing tensions was known as y the "Bovine War" (CC 2002). fri 1865 Dr. Thomas Welch moved to Vineland. Welch was a '^ dentist, prohibitionist, and religious zealot, and began experimenting with a process to make a „ nonalcoholic wine to be served at communion services. The popularity of his product resulted in ': the formation of Welch's Emit Juice Company, a name now synonymous with grape juice, jams, ^ and jellies (CC 2002; De Maio 1998). On March 19, 1875 Charies Landis shot Uri Carrath, the editor and publisher of the Vineland Independent, in the head with a pistol following a series of [ scathing political criticisms of Landis in Carrath's newspaper. The resulting murder trial was a U national sensation, and Landis was acquitted by reason of temporary insanity (CC 2002). f^^B 2.3.3 THE GROWTH OF VINELAND
The late-nineteenth-century wave of European immigrants to the United States contributed to the y growth of Vineland. In the 1860s large numbers of French and German immigrants settled in y Vineland and contributed their expertise to the growing wine and glass industries in the area. Large numbers of Jewish immigrants from Eastem Europe settled in southem New Jersey ra (including Vineland) in the 1880s; a second wave of Jewish immigrants, fleeing the Nazi regime y in Germany and Poland, followed in the 1930s. Other ethnicities that settled in Vineland and the surrounding area in the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-centuries included Italians, Russians, 3j and Greeks. A large population of Puerto Ricans settled in Vineland in the 1940s, and the arrival of subsequent immigrants from Spain, Mexico, Cuba, and South America have resulted in Hispanics being the largest single ethnic group in Vineland (De Maio 1998).
;; The urban center of the community was incorporated as Vineland Borough in 1880, By 1890 there 14 industrial ventures in Vineland manufacturing glass products, bricks, buttons, shoes, clothing, fruit canning, hats, pocketbooks, and boxes. Vineland established its own electrical il utility around 1900; today the Vineland Electric Utility is the largest city-owned energy producer '^ in New Jersey. In 1952 local municipalities were reorganized and both Landis Township and Vineland Borough were incorporated as the City of Vineland. Throughout the twentieth-century 1^ Vineland prospered as an important industrial, administrative and agricultural center in southem liJ New Jersey. Agriculture continues to be the primary industry in Vineland, and locally grown fhiits and vegetables are exported to national and intemational markets (De Maio 1998; Mounier y 1981:9).

m 3.0 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 3.1 ARCHIVAL RESEARCH METHODS
The Stage lA survey is based primarily on a documentary study of the Project Area and immediately adjacent areas. JMA's documentary study was intended to identify previously recorded archeological sites within one-mile of the Project Area, identify previously recorded historic-architectural resources within 500 feet of the Project Area, and evaluate the potential for previously unrecorded archeological and/or historic resources to be present within the Project Area.
JMA conducted archival research at numerous repositories as a component of the Phase lA investigation of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area. JMA reviewed cartographic and written documents relating to the past and present environmental conditions, land use practices, and human occupation in the vicinity of the Project Area. Information conceming previously recorded r archeological sites and historic properties in Vineland was reviewed at the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in Trenton. Previous cultural resources survey reports from the vicinity of Vineland (e.g.. Burrow 1996; Fiedel 1992; Healy 1976; Liebeknecht and Burrow 1997; Mounier 1981, 1983a, 1997) were also reviewed at the SHPO. The New Jersey State Museum (NJSM) was contacted for information conceming previously recorded archeological sites in the vicinity of the Project Area.
Standard syntheses of regional prehistory (e.g., Chesler 1982; Cross 1941; Eisenberg 1978; Grossman-Bailey 2001; Gmmet 1990; Spier 1915; Trigger 1978) were consulted for information conceming archeological sites in the area, and utilized to constmct Native American cultural contexts for the vicinity of the Project Area. Historical sources consulted for the Project included the Elmer (1869) History of Cumberland County, historical information compiled by local municipalities (CC 2002), and local historical society pubhcations (e.g., Andrews 1913; De Maio 1998; Woodmff and Palmer n.d.). JMA conducted historic map research at the New York Public Library Maps Division and at the New Jersey Historical Society in Trenton. JMA made numerous attempts to contact the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society in July 2002 but were unable to arrange an appointment to conduct additional map research at that archive. Historic maps examined for the Project included the 1873 Farrand Map of Settled Parts of Vineland Tract, 1876 Stewart Atlas of Cumberland County, New Jersey, Fowler and Loomis 1884 Map of Cumberland County, New Jersey, and 1894 New Jersey Geological Survey atlas sheet depicting the vicinity of the Project Area. JMA also reviewed Sanbom Fire Insurance Maps depicting the City of Vineland for the years between 1886 and 1949 (Sanbom 1949), however the Project Area was not included within the area surveyed by Sanbom in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
3.2 FIELD RECONNAISSANCE
A JMA archeologist conducted a preliminary site reconnaissance of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area on May 9, 2002. The purpose of the field reconnaissance was to document existing conditions at the site, assess the degree of previous ground disturbance, and gather information necessary to evaluate the potential for the Project Area to contain archeological resources. During the site reconnaissance, JMA interviewed CDM personnel conceming their familiarity with the site and knowledge of previous disturbances on the property. Documentation of existing conditions included recording observations and photographing significant or informative landscape features. JMA also photographed stmctures located oh properties adjacent to the 8 ICELAND COIN LAUNDRY SUPERFUND SITE CITY OF VINELAND, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

4.0 RESULTS Q 4.1 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES According to the NJSM, there are three previously recorded sites located within one-mile of the \| Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area. All three of these sites are included in the National Register ^ ^ eligible Indian Head Multiple Resource District (see below).
[7] • LSA Site 5 (Site 28-Cu-86) is located approximately 4,000 feet west-northwest y of the Project Area at the confluence of Parvins Branch with Tarklin Branch. The site is less than one-acre in size; materials recovered from the site include stone —] tools, stone-tool production debris, and thermally altered rock. The site was identified during a Stage I archeological survey for the Landis Sewerage Autiiority in 1981 (Mounier 1981). i-. • Sites 28-CU-87 and 28-Cu-88 are located between 4,500 and 5,000 feet west- u southwest of the Project Area on the east bank of Parvins Branch. These site designations refer to three discrete mounds of charcoal-laden sand that represent charcoal kilns from the nineteenth-century (Mounier 1983b).
The Indian Head Multiple Resource District encompasses approximately 1,800 acres owned by ['.' the Landis Sewerage Authority in the southwestem comer of the City of Vineland and adjacent u portion of Deerfield Township. The district includes nine archeological sites (Sites 28-Cu-79, -80, -81, -82, -83, -84, -85, -86, and -87/88) within the 1,800-acre area; six of these loci are prehistoric sites, two include both prehistoric and nineteenth-century components, and one is a nineteenth-century charcoal kiln. In 1984 the National Park Service determined that these sites were collectively eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as a Multiple n Resource District.
LJ • The Multiple Resource District was named for the Indian Head Site (Site 28-Cu-79), located on T| the westem bank of the Maurice River near the confluence of the river with the Muddy Run (approximately two miles west of the Project Area).
-r-: ' The Indian Head Site is a large (up to 50 acres) prehistoric Native American .;: habitation site with extensive deposits from the Late Archaic and Woodland periods, as well as small quantities of material from the Paleo-Indian, Early ^_.i Archaic, and Middle Archaic periods (Grossman-Bailey 2001; Mounier 1983). Leslie Spier first documented the site as a locus where artifacts "are found in y considerable quantity" (1915:98). Dorothy Cross (1941:44-47) documented limited excavations at the site that were conducted in 1940 by the Indian Site p Survey, a Work Progress Administration initiative to provide work for the y imemployed. Alan Mounier (1975) conducted more controlled, detailed excavations at the site in 1973. In the early 1980s Stage 1 and 2 archeological n investigations were conducted at the site in association with wastewater treatment y facilities proposed by the Landis Sewerage Authority (Mounier 1981, 1983a). These surveys resulted in the delineation of the boundaries of the Indian Head p] Site, as well as the identification of the additional eight archeological sites included in the district. The survey reports (Mounier 1981, 1983a, 1983b)

provided the basis for the nomination and determination of eligibility that resulted in the official recognition of the Indian Head Multiple Resource District.
Other previously recorded archeological sites located near (within five miles of) the Project Area y include the Martelli Prehistoric Site and Prehistoric Site 28-Cu-162.
• The Martelli Prehistoric Site (Site 28-Cu-161) is located on the south bank of the Blackwater Branch of the Maurice River east of Mill Road (northwest of Vineland), approximately four miles north-northwest of the Project Area. In 1996 the SHPO determined that the site was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D. Archeological testing and data recovery excavations were conducted at the site in 1996-1997 in association with remediation work at the Vineland Chemical Company Superfimd Site (Burrow 1996; Liebeknecht and Burrow 1997). Spier (1915:98) originally described archeological materials along the Blackwater Branch in the early-twentieth century. Materials recovered from the Martelli Site indicate extensive Terminal Archaic/Early Woodland and Late Woodland components with numerous features, diagnostic lithic materials, ceramics, and radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dates. Smaller quantities of materials from the Paleo-Indian, Early Archaic, and Middle Woodland periods were also recovered form the site (Grosman-Bailey 2001:184,203,280; Liebeknecht and Burrow 1997).
• Prehistoric Site 28-Cu-162 is located on the north bank of the Blackwater Branch, west of Mill Road (approximately four miles north-northwest of the Project Area). In 1997 the SHPO determined that the site was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D. The site was documented during an archeological survey conducted in association with the proposed expansion of the Vineland Industrial Park (Mounier 1997). The site is a large Late Woodland habitation site that has the potential to yield important information about regional Late Woodland settlement practices and regional ceramic vessel technology and style.
4.2 PREVIOUS ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY RESULTS
Stage 1 and Stage 2 archeological surveys were conducted in the early 1980s at the proposed location of a wastewater treatment facility located on an approximately 2,000-acre tract at the confluence of the Parvins Branch with the Maurice River (Mounier 1981, 1983a). The survey included sampling of the Indian Head site, and resulted in the identification of seven additional prehistoric sites and two charcoal pits (now included in the Indian Head Multiple Resource District; see above). The sites documented by the 1981 survey are all located between 4,000 feet and two miles to the west of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area. Additionally, each of the sites documented in this area are located immediately adjacent to, or within approximately 500 feet of, the Maurice River or one of its higher order tributaries. These sites occupy low rises of well-drained ground adjacent to streams or surrounded by swampland. Based on the locations of sites documented by the thorough and detailed survey information resulting from the Stage 1 and Stage 2 investigations, the author concluded that local pattems of topography, soils, and drainage seem to consttain the size and location of prehistoric sites in the area (Mounier 1983b:4).

A Phase 1 report prepared in 1976 in association with proposed sewer improvements in the City of Vineland (Healy 1976:4) concluded that the Delsea Drive area had been previously disturbed due to extensive commercial development and was not sensitive for archeological remains. However, the 1976 survey does not include detailed descriptions of disturbance for specific areas.
4.3 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED HISTORIC-ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES
Previously recorded historic-architectural resources in the vicinity of the Project Area include numerous stmctures located within the one-mile-square urban center of Vineland (see below). All of these structures are located more than one-and-a-half miles northeast of the Project Area. None n of these previously recorded historic-architectural resources are located within 500 feet of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area.
• Stmctures in downtown Vineland that are listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places include the Vineland High School and Landis Theatre.
• Stmctures that the SHPO has been determined eligible for listing on the State and/or National Registers include 414 Almont Street, the Vineland Memorial Home Main Building, the Vineland Residential Historic District (vicinity of Plum and Wood Streets), 641 Wood Sti-eet, the South Vineland School, and the Chase Episcopal Church and Chapel.
• Additional stmctures that are listed on the City of Vineland Register of Historic Stmctures and Sites (CC 2002) include the ca. 1894 Aubrey Louis Hanford House, Coney's Tavem, ca. 1868 Daniel R. Morrill House, First Baptist Church, D Garrison Hall, ca. 1938 Gitton Stadium, ca. 1870 Henry Hartson House, ca. 1867 Judge Ehas G. Doughty House, ca. 1928 Landis Intermediate School, ca. 1895 Myron Kimball House, the New Jersey Memorial Home, the Research -J Laboratory (Josiah Wistar Hospital), the Sacred Heart Church, the site of the Dr. Thomas B. Welch Home and Home Factory, ca. 1871 Theophilus French House, y ca. 1910 Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society Building, Vineland's First y House, and Vineland's First Post Office.
7 In 1976 a Phase 1 cultural resources was conducted in association with proposed sewer ^ improvements and extensions within the City of Vineland (Healy 1976). The study area for the survey consisted of approximately 68,000 linear feet of proposed sewer improvements (primarily ;T within existing roads), including Delsea Drive (adjacent to the Project Area). The report provides a description of the existing (c. 1976) architecture along Delsea Drive:
-r, "The Delsea Drive area, both north and south of Parvins [Branch], is highly commercialized and developed. Both sides of the drive are marked by fast food stores, and various commercial establishments (i.e., roller skating rink, flea market, drive-in movie theater, fumiture store, used-car lots, radio station, Pepsi- cola bottling plant, etc.). There were a few vacant lots which were examined •^ and which produced only modem mbbish. No one with significant knowledge of the local land was available to talk with or interview" (Healy 1976:4).

'^^k The 1976 survey (Healy 1976) concluded that no potentially significant historic resources were -^1^ located along Delsea Drive. Based on the results of JMA's field reconnaissance of the area (see Section 4.5), the generally commercial character of Delsea Drive has not changed since the 1970s. While individual buildings have likely been replaced or updated since the 1976 survey, the -J architecture of the area continues to be characterized by mid-to-late-twentieth century commercial buildings that lack distinctive traits or notable architectural characteristics.
J 4.4 HISTORY OF THE PROJECT AREA
I JMA conducted historic maps research at the New York Public Library Maps Division and New —i Jersey Historical Society to document any stmctures or features that previously existed within the Project Area. Maps examined for the Project included the 1873 Fairand Map of the Settled Parts y of Vineland and the 1884 Fowler and Loomis Map of Cumberland County, New Jersey, however Ll these maps only depict the layout of roads in the area and do not indicate the locations of stmctures. JMA also reviewed the Sanbom Fire Insurance Atlases for the City of Vineland for the n period covering 1886 through 1949 (Sanbom 1949), however the Project Area was not included within the areas mapped by Sanbom during this period.
The 1876 Stewart Atlas of Cumberland County (Figure 4) depicts a stmcture I- ,• located within or immediately north of the Project Area. The stmcture is labeled as the residence of "J. Ivens". JMA located James Ivens in a list of early purchasers of property in Vineland compiled by the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, with the following description: "Ivens, James and C. Garrett, Aug 28, 1865, 30/2 acres Oak Road, and adjoining the land of one Vickers, $1115" (Darling and Ankenbrand 1938:92). Thus James Ivens appears to have originally purchased property on Oak Road in Vineland in 1865, and by 1876 moved to the residence on Malaga Road (now Delsea Drive). The house depicted on the 1876 atlas was presumably constmcted between 1865 and 1876. Given the house's location outside of the city limits of Vineland, the residence was likely a farm.
The 1894 New Jersey Geological Survey (NJGS) sheet depicting the vicinity of the Project Area (Figure 5) also indicates that the Project Area was likely a farm in the late-nineteenth century. The NJGS survey depicts topography and groundcover, and clearly indicates wooded versus cleared areas, however the NJGS survey does not depict the locations of stmctures. According to the NJGS survey, the Project Area and other properties immediately west of Malaga Road were cleared by the late-nineteenth century. The land south and west of the Project Area, extending to the Maurice River, remained wooded. The topography depicted on the 1894 survey remains unchanged in more recent topographic surveys of the area (USGS 1972; Figure 1).
IJ The only existing building within the Project Area is the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility, now occupied by Maniero's retail appliance and jewelry store (Plate 1). The building occupies the I northeastem portion of the Project Area (Figures 2, 6). According to Project documentation L-l compiled by CDM Federal Programs Corporation, this building has been utilized for a number of purposes since at least 1930. Prior to 1930, the Vineland Emit and Poultry Association used the [^ building for an unknown purpose. An ice-skating rink operated in the building between 1955 and 1965. The building was then leased (in succession) to an unknown party for use as a dancehall for

local teenagers, to Royal Crown beverages as a storage facility, and to Owen-Illinois as a storage facility. Between 1963 and 1971 the owner of the building also operated the Iceland Coin Laundry and.E>ry Cleaners form the building. Since 1972 the building has been used for retail and storage purposes by a succession of tenants and/or owners. These occupants have included Anastasi Carpets, the South Jersey Paper Company, Buena Plumbing, and Kelly Carpet. Maniero's retail appliance and jewelry store has been operating in the building since October 1997 (CDM 2002:BCK-1, BCK-2). hi the opinion of JMA, the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility is not historically or architecturally significant. n 4.5' EXISTING CONDITIONS South Delsea Drive/NJ Route 47 forms the eastem boundary of the Project Area. A paved road leading to a laundry facility and trailer park (located to the west of the Project Area) forms the southem boundary of the Project Area. A chain link fence encloses the westem portion of the southem boundary. The chain link fence also marks the northem and westem perimeter of the Project Area (Figure 6).
A large, paved parking area is located south of the Maniero's building (Plate 2). The parking lot occupies the southeastem portion of the Project Area. The parking area is not enclosed and is accessed from South Delsea Drive. The parking area is level and completely covered by macadam paving.
j The westem portion of the Project Area is enclosed by a chain-link fence, and is accessible only n from a gate at the rear (westem end) of the parking area adjacent to the Maniero building (Plate 3). The southem half of this westem portion is covered by a grass lawn (Plate 4), while the northem portion of the westem area (behind the Maniero's building) is paved with gravel (Plate 5). Two areas paved with concrete are located in this westem section. The loading area immediately west of the building is paved with concrete (Plate 5), and a small paved concrete-pad is located in the northwest comer of the Project Area (Plate 6).
Hager-Richter Geoscience, Inc. [HRG] conducted a geophysical survey of the Iceland Coin Laundiy Project Area on behalf of CDM in June 2002. The methods and results of the geophysical survey (HRG 2002) are summarized below as the geophysical data provides important information conceming the degree of previous disturbance and location of buried features within the Project Area. The objective of the geophysical survey was to identify potential contaminant source areas in the immediate vicinity of the former Iceland Coin Laundry building. The geophysical survey included two complementary methodologies consisting of elecfromagnetic induction terrain conductivity [EM31] and ground penetrating radar [GPR]. EM31 data were collected along parallel traverses at 10-foot intervals with one-foot station spacing across accessible portions of the Project Area. GPR data were collected along two sets of orthogonal traverses spaced at five-foot intervals across accessible portions of the Project Area (see Figure 7; HRG 2002).
The results of the geophysical survey indicate a number of underground features that may affect the potential archeological sensitivity of the Project Area (summarized from HRG 2002).
• A large area of electromagnetic anomaly was detected immediately east and south of the former Iceland Coin Laundry building. The area extends approximately 90 feet south of the building across the middle of the Project Area

(Figure 7; HRG 2002). According to documentation compiled by CDM, prior to 1986 sanitary wastes from the building drained into a septic tank located partially under the south side of the building. In 1986 the building received a connection to the municipal sanitary sewer (CDM 2002). The large area of electromagnetic anomaly documented by HRG may be related to disturbance associated with the installation and/or removal of the septic tank.
Two low amplitude conductivity anomalies were identified south of the existing building (Figure 7). These anomalies indicate areas of higher conductivity that may be related-to leaching,, leakage,, or discharge-areas of septic systems (HRG 2002). These areas of higher conductivity are located adjacent to the large area of electromagnetic anomaly-discussed above.
• I y • A possible buried stmcture was detected southwest of the building. The buried stmcture measuEes„15 to 20 feet long by 6 to 8 feet wade, and is located approximately J feet below the ground surface (Figure 7). The structure does not have an electromagnetic anomaly associated with it, indicating that the feature is not constmcted of metal. HRG (2002) indicates that determining whether the feature is an unreinforced concrete septic tank, fiberglass UST, or other feature cannot be determined from the geophysical data.
• Several linear anomalies were documented within the southem and eastem portions of the Project Area. These linear features are assumed to be buried utilities. At leas two utility lines run east-to-west across the southem portion of the Project Area. According to CDM personnel, the linear anomaly that is located approximately 25 feet south of the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility is a gas J line. Other apparent utilities mn parallel to Delsea Drive along the eastem perimeter of the Project Area (Figure 7; HRG 2002).
• A low-density scatter of electromagnetic anomalies is distributed across most of the Project Area. These anomalies likely represent small metal objects dispersed across the property (Figure 7; HRG 2002).
JMA photographed the stmctures located in the immediate vicinity (within 500 feet) of the Project Area. Based on the architecture and stylistic characteristics of these stmctures as well as JMA's background research, all of the buildings located adjacent to the Project Area are twentieth century in origin, and lack distinctive architectural features or notable historical associations. The locations of adjacent stmctures and photographic views from JMA's field reconnaissance are depicted on Figure 6.
• A small, one-and-a-half story, twentieth-century brick house is located on the lot immediately south of the Project Area (Plates 7, 8). The house is located on the west side of South Delsea Drive and faces to the east.
• A late-twentieth-century coin laundry facility is located in a paved lot immediately west of the Project Area (Plate 9). The laundry facility is a single- story rectangular.building with a flat roof. A trailer park is located to the west of the laundry facility (Figure 6).

A single-story, ranch-style house with wood siding is located northwest of the Project Area. The northwest comer of the Project Area abuts the backyard of this house (Plate 10). The house faces north onto South Korrff Drive.
A used car dealership occupies the lot immediately north of the Project Area. A small, single-story shed serves as the office of the dealership and is the only n stmcture on the lot (Plate 11). Opposite the car dealership on Delsea Drive, and northeast of the Project Area, is a commercial/retail plaza-characterized.by bam-style architecture (Plate 12).
A vacant lot is located directly opposite- (east of) the Project Area on Delsea Drive, and south of the commercial/retail plaza. The lot contains a small, single- story building (Plate 13), and was formerly used as an auto-body repair shop (now out-of-business). Behind (east of) the boarded up auto-body shop is a New Jersey Department of Transportation facility.
A one-and-a-half story, twentieth century house is located south of the former auto-body repair shop, on the east side of Delsea Drive, southeast of the Project y Area (Plate 14). Ll

5.1 ARCHEOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY
Three previously recorded archeological sites are located within-one-mile of the Project Area. All of these sites are components of the Indian Head Multiple Resource District, determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. In general, numerous prehistoric archeological sites are documented in the areas immediately adjacent to (within approximately 500 feet of) the Maurice River and its tributaries. These sites are typically located on low rises of j.n. well-drained ground adjacent to streams or swampland (Mounier 1983b:9). The Project Area is located on relatively higher ground approximately 800 feet south.of Parvins Branch. Based on the „ quantity, significance, and locations of previously recorded.archeologicaL sites in the area, the j • Project Area should be considered to have a moderate or high sensitivity for prehistoric resources. However, evidence for episodes of previous disturbance within the Project Area affect the archeological potential of the property (see below). y '-^ The 1876 Stewart Atlas of Cumberland County depicts the residence of J. Ivens within or immediately north of the Project Area (Figure 4). James Ivens bought property in Vineland in R 1865 and apparently constmcted this residence between 1865 and 1876. A geophysical survey tiij conducted within the Project Area (HRG 2002) did not document any stmctural remains or anomalous features within the Project Area that are large enough to be the foundations of the y former Ivens residence. Accordingly, if foundation remains associated with the Ivens residence y are located within the Project Area, they would be located undemeath the foundations of the existing stmcture on the property (the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility, constmcted ca. 1930). The results of the recent geophysical survey within the Project Area (HRG 2002) document rrn episodes of previous disturbance within the Project Area. Disturbances documented during the I geophysical survey include a large area immediately south and east of the existing building that extends approximately 90 feet south of the building across the middle of the Project Area (Figure 7). This area corresponds to the reported location of a septic tank and likely represents j disturbance associated with the installation and/or-removal" of" the septic tank. Several linear ^ anomalies, likely indicative of buried utilities, traverse the southem and eastem portions of the Project Area. A low-density scatter of electromagnetic anomalies is distributed across most of the Project Area, likely representing small metal objects dispersed across the property. The ^ geophysical survey also documented an apparent buried stmcture in the southeastem portion of the Project Area. The buried stmcture measures approximately 15 to 20 feet long by 6 to 8 feet { . wide and is located approximately 3 feet below the ground surface. The stmcture does not have y an electromagnetic anomaly associated with it, indicating that the stmcture is not constmcted of (nor include substantial quantities of) metal. Based on the size and location of this feature, it is T] the opinion of JMA that this stmcture does not represent foundation remains of the ca. 1876 _J former J. Ivens house. Hager-Richter Geoscience, Inc. (HRG 2002) speculated that the feature is likely a concrete or fiberglass septic tank.
The results of the geophysical survey (HRG 2002), information compiled by CDM (2002) regarding the recent history and use of the property, and observations generated by JMA's field p- reconnaissance all indicate that the Project Area has been subjected to repeated episodes of 1; previous disturbance. Theses episodes include disturbance associated with the ca. 1930 constmction of the former Iceland Coin Laundry facility, installation and removal of various 17 ICELAND COIN LAUNDRY SUPERFUND SITE CITY OF VINELAND, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

BM septic systems and public sewer connections, installation of underground utilities across the property, and paving of most portions of the Project Area. In the opinion of JMA, the cumulative impact of these episodes of previous disturbances makes it highly unlikely that undisturbed and/or potentially significant archeological deposits are extant within the Project Area.
5.2 POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON HISTORIC-ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES
The former Iceland Coin Laundry facility is a large concrete commercial stmcture built in the early-twentieth century. In the opinion of JMA, the stmcture is not historically or architecturally significant. There are no previously identified historic-architectural resources located.within 500 feet of the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area. All of the existing buildings within 500 feet of the Project Area are mid-to-late twentieth century commercial or residential buildings that lack distinctive architectural characteristics or historical associations. Furthermore, potential remediation activities in the Project Area will consist of groundwater sampling, sediment removal, and other ground-disturbing activities. None of these activities include-significant visual impacts to the vicinity of the Project Area. In the opinion of JMA, proposed remediation activities at the Iceland Coin Laundry Superfund Site will not have any impacts on historic-architectural resources.
5.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
In the opinion of JMA, the extent of previous disturbance within the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area makes it highly unlikely that potentially significant archeological materials or deposits are extant within the Project Area. There are no previously recorded historic- architectural resources in the immediate vicinity of the Project Area, and proposed actions within the Project Area will not have a significant visual impact on the surrounding area. In the opinion # of JMA, no additional cultural resources work is necessary in association with the Iceland Coin Laundry Project Area.

The Stage lA survey also evaluates the potential for previously unrecorded archeological or historic sites to be located within the area which will be affected by the undertaking (the Area of Potential Effect). The Stage lA survey will include a documentary study and a Site Walk-Over Reconnaissance. All work will be performed in accordance with the guidance provided in Section 2.4 of the January 1988 CERCLA/SARA Environmental Review Manual, and the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office's Guidelines for Phase I Archeological Investigations and Guidelines for Preparing Cultural Resource Management Archeological Reports (collectively, the Guidelines). The purpose of the Stage lA survey is to assist USEPA in complying with their obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the implementing regulations of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36 CFR 800). Documentary Study. The documentary study will concentrate on the identification of previously recorded cultural resources within the project site and its immediate vicinity. Previously recorded archeological sites within one mile of the project site, and other previously recorded cultural resources within 500 feet of the project site (the presentiy fenced area and the immediately surrounding area including the adjacent parking lot) will be identified. Available primary and secondary source information relating to the prehistory, history, and prior land use of the project vicinity will be reviewed. The following soitrces of information will be consulted, as appropriate: • New Jersey Historic Preservation Office (State Historic Preservation Office) to identify all properties listed on, nominated to, or determined eligible for the National and State Registers of Historic Places; " • New Jersey State Museum archeological site files; • The New York Public Library; and ™ • Local historical societies and libraries, as appropriate. Available geotechnical data, including boring logs, which may be made available to JMA will ? also be examined to assist in evaluating the extent of prior disturbance and the potential for the ^ existence of previously unrecorded archeological resources. 1 Site Walk-Over Reconnaissance. The purpose of the site walk-over reconnaissance is to identify £J areas where prior ground disturbance has rendered an area unlikely to contain intact archeological deposits, identify archeological remains visible on the surface (e.g. foundations), and identify and j5^ delineate undisturbed areas of low archeological sensitivity such as wetlands. The site walk-over 12J reconnaissance will be conducted by a Registered Professional Archeologist. ^] Reporting. The Stage lA cultural resources survey report will be prepared in accordance with the SJ Guidelines and the requirements specified in Section 3.2.1 A of the Statement of Work. It will also include recommendations regarding the need for, and scope of, additional work (Stage IB rn survey) that may be necessary. m 301624
