Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project
Phase I Historic Architectural Report - Addendum 3
ABSTRACT
This report presents the results that were achieved during Phase I historic architectural surveys
conducted in association with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (Atlantic) Atlantic Coast Pipeline
(ACP) project (Project). Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI) will build and operate approximately
600 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline and associated laterals on behalf of Atlantic,
which is a company consisting of subsidiaries of Dominion Resources, Duke Energy, Piedmont
Natural Gas, and Southern Company Gas. The pipeline system extends from West Virginia to
southern North Carolina, and the Project will also include access roads, meter stations,
compressor stations, and other above-ground facilities. This document presents findings for the
segment of the pipeline corridor in Virginia, which is 308.1 miles long, and passes through
Highland, Bath, Augusta, Nelson, Buckingham, Cumberland, Prince Edward, Nottoway,
Dinwiddie, Brunswick, and Southampton counties, as well as the cities of Suffolk and
Chesapeake counties. It includes the 235.8 mile-long trunk line (AP-1), and three laterals (AP-
3, AP-4, and AP-5) that total 72.3 miles. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) includes the 300-
foot-wide survey corridor that will encompass the construction zone and the permanent pipeline
right-of-way for the proposed pipeline, the footprints for access roads and other facilities
associated with the Project, and areas of potential indirect (visual) effects that lie within line of
sight of proposed aboveground facilities and landscape changes due to clearing of vegetation or
other impacts associated with construction. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is the
lead federal agency, and work was conducted pursuant to the requirements of Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended.
The current document contains survey results associated with segments of the Project where
reroutes significantly affected the APE, as well as revisits to three previously surveyed
resources in order to assess Project effects. The survey work was carried out by Environmental
Resources Management (ERM). Approximately 32 miles of the Project corridor in Virginia
remain to be surveyed. The findings for those segments as well as for any access roads or
other Project facilities not previously surveyed will be presented in subsequent addendum
reports.
Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail) completed initial portions of the historic
architectural surveys for this Project (Anderson and Staton 2016; Lesiuk et al. 2016; Staton
2016). Subsequent to the current report, ERM will prepare a supplemental report that
summarizes findings from Dovetail’s previous survey work, updates those findings in relation to
Project changes to indicate which resources remain in the APE, supplies additional requested
information about particular resources in response to previous comments from the Virginia
Department of Historic Resources, and provides assessment of effects discussions for all of
those resources that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
A total of 73 resources were surveyed during the field survey documented in this report. Of
these, ERM recommends that 63 are not eligible for the NRHP, 9 are eligible for listing, and one
is listed on the NRHP. ERM recommends that the Project will have no adverse effects on any
of these resources.
