Applicant's Name: AT&T Project Name: Back Mountain Project Number: 2011156 FCC Form 620 May 2011 Archaeological Investigation AT&T Cell Tower Back Mountain Frede ic'1K C—OunL V 161iila By Edward Otter, Ph. D. May 10, 2011 INTRODUCTION AT&T Mobility requested an assessment of the potential for archaeological resources to exist at a proposed cell tower location about ten miles west of Winchester in Frederick County, Virginia. The proposed 195 feet high monopole with associated facilities is to be located on a farm northwest of State Route 600 and between Houge Creek and Furnace Creek (Figure 1). The study was conducted by Edward Otter, Inc. under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended), the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and in accordance with the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement of 2004. SCOPE OF WORK Archival research was conducted at the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) to examine the known and potential archaeological resources that might exist within one mile of the project area. State and Federal site files, historic maps, and aerial photographs were examined. A prediction as to whether the site has the potential to contain prehistoric materials was made based on the geographic setting and generalized knowledge of site locations based on prior archaeological works. Field work varies for each project according site-specific conditions. In most cases a series of shovel tests are conducted to determine if archaeological resources exist. In all cases, the intent is to provide evidence for the presence or lack of archaeological resources within the area of direct affects. RESULTS The project area is located at an elevation about 960 feet above mean sea level. The terrain is described as rolling. Soils along the access area are mapped as Weikert-Berks complex 7 to 15 percent slope and Blairton silt loam 7 to 15 percent slope (Web Soil Survey). These channery soils are found on mountain shoulders and side slopes and has formed from shale and sandstone. At the proposed tower location soils are Frederick-Poplimento loam 15 to 25 percent slope, a residuum from limestone (Web Soil Survey). The closest surface water to this project area is about 700 feet to the southwest in the form of Furnace Creek. Archival Study Previous archaeological research has identified one archaeological site within a mile radius of the project area. Located along Furnace Creek, this site is an iron furnace once belonging to Issac Zane and built around 1760. No detailed archaeological work has been conducted at this site. Prehistoric occupation within the Shenandoah Valley dates back at least 11,000 years. Floodplains and terraces along the river are good locations for sites. Smaller sites are also found along the small streams, benches, and ridge tops where there is level ground. Considering the natural slope of the land and the distance away from water, it is believed the project area has at low potential for containing prehistoric archaeological material. The earliest European settlement began in 1726 with Scotch, Irish, and German settlers from Pennsylvania. Frederick County was erected in 1743 with Winchester as its seat (Cartmell 1909:126). It has since been cut into 9 different counties. During the French and Indian War this was part of the frontier and forts of that period are still standing and exist as place names. Fort Loudon, built 1756, is now covered under part of the town of Winchester. The early settlers from Pennsylvania were not part of the slave owning tradition. This resulted in smaller farms than those of the plantation system of the English settlers to the east of the mountains. Crops included flax, grain, livestock, vegetables, and fruit. Mills and distilleries also appeared, an indication of the amount of grain being produced. This changed little during the 191h century. During the Civil War grain from the valley supplied Confederate troops. Iron Furnaces dotted the valley. During the war the valley was contested with a number of engagements fought around Winchester. The project area is separated from Winchester by Little North Mountain and while life here would have been impacted by the war, no engagement or camps seem to have taken place here. The 1809 Varle map shows Zane's furnace (Figure 2). 1885 Lake Atlas shows the old furnace, an old mill and a few houses, all along the road or near Furnace Creek, not at the project area (Figure 3). The 1937 topographic map (Figure 4) and the modern topographic map show little change. The project area appears as undeveloped in these maps. Houses on the maps appear more in locations where roads and streams cross. Sloped settings such as the project area are not commonly used for habitation. On this basis, it is believed the potential for significant historic archaeological resources to exist in the project area is low. FIELD RESULTS An archaeological site visit was conducted for this project with the intent of conducting some form of subsurface survey work. Conditions in the field revealed the steep slopes across the access corridor and particularly at the proposed tower location. Because of the slopes, field testing was not conducted. CONCLUSION Prehistoric settlement patters suggest that the project location has a low potential for containing prehistoric materials. The potential for finding historic period materials was also determined to be low. The steep slopes of the project area and its distance to surface water lead to the interpretation that cultural materials are not likely to exist here. No additional archaeological work is recommended. REFERENCES Cartmell, T. K. 1909 Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants. Figure 1. Project location.

EFFECTS ON IDENTIFIED PROPERTIES a. Effect Direct Effects The Phase I Archaeological Survey conducted by Edward Otter, Inc. concluded: "Prehistoric settlement patters suggest that the project location has a low potential for containing prehistoric materials. The potential for finding historic period materials was also determined to be low. The steep slopes of the project area and its distance to surface water lead to the interpretation that cultural materials are not likely to exist here. No additional archaeological work is recommended." The subject property was identified on Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) geographic information system (GIS) database as an unevaluated historic property (VDHR ID #034-0193). The subject property was identified by the Frederick County Department of Planning and Development as a significant County historic property. The property is identified as the House (Route 600) with a construction year around 1830. The historic property resource form identified the following contributing structures: shed, smoke/meat house, barn, granary, and a single dwelling. During an April 7, 2011 site visit, only the single dwelling and barn were still present on the property. The remaining contributing structures to the unevaluated historic property were located over 2,120 feet to the east-northeast of the proposed undertaking. The proposed undertaking will involve ground disturbance within the southwestern corner of the subject property in an area currently comprised of undeveloped woods. Based on the distance of the proposed undertaking from any historic structures associated with the subject property, the proposed undertaking's location in undeveloped woods, and the conclusion of the Phase I Archaeological Survey, and the property not being currently listed or determined to be eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is ACER's opinion the proposed undertaking will have "no effect" on any potentially eligible to be listed historic properties for direct effects.

Subject Property — House (Route 600) VDHR ID #034-0193: The subject property was identified on Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) geographic information system (GIS) database as an unevaluated historic property (VDHR ID #034-0193). The subject property was identified by the Frederick County Department of Planning and Development as a potentially significant historic property. The property is identified as the House (Route 600) with a construction year around 1830. The historic property resource form identified the following contributing structures: shed, smoke/meat house, barn, granary, and a single dwelling. During an April 7, 2011 site visit, only the single dwelling and barn were still present on the property. The remaining structures of the property were located approximately 2,120 feet to east-northeast of the proposed undertaking. During an April 7, 2011 site visit, a clinometer was used to scan the "Line of Sight" for visual obstructions. The clinometer readings were utilized to determine whether the tower will be visible from the historic property. ACER used the following trigonometric function to calculate the "Line of Site" angle from the historic property to the top of the proposed tower. ACER used elevation and distance data interpreted from the U.S.G.S topographic map and the proposed tower height to determine a, and b for insertion into the formula. Corrections were made for differences in elevation, as well as the viewer's eye level.

Kalbian, Architectural Historian FOR: Frederick County Historic Resources Advisory Board PROPERTY NAME: The Glass -Rinker -Cooper Mill (DHR# 034-5037-0003) ADDRESS: 2431 Cedar Creek Grade DATE OR PERIOD: ca. 1812 ORIGINAL USE: Mill VICINITY: Opequon SUMMARY DESCRIPTION: This 2 1/2 -story, former mill is located off Cedar Creek Grade in the village of Opequon just southwest of Winchester. Replacing an 18t1i- century mill that had been destroyed, this grist mill was constructed ca. 1812. The limestone structure rests on a stone foundation and features a gabled roof covered in standing -seam metal. The rear wall is clad in vertical wood siding. Attached to the side of the mill is a two-story, three -bay, ca. 1890 frame residence that also houses the former mill office. A privy is located in the rear yard. After the Civil War, the mill was operated by Samuel Cooper. It ceased operations around 1940 and has been restored by the present owner. RECOMMENDATION: The Glass -Rinker -Cooper Mill is at the center of the Opequon Historic District, listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. The village comprises the homesteads of some of the earlier settlers in the county, including the Glass and Cartmell families. The Glass -Rinker -Cooper Mill was constructed by Joseph Glass II ca. 1812 off the Opequon Creek and replaced an earlier mill that was located nearby. Only one of four surviving former mills in Frederick County that predate 1830, the Glass -Rinker -Cooper Mill is an important industrial landmark in the county. The property meets the criteria for Frederick County Historic Property designation.

Formulating Good Recommendations JuDe 2004 Findings Provide case number, approval being requested, and location of the property Describe and address the significance of the historic resources found on the property • Virginia Landmarks Register or National Register resources present • Local HA Overlay District resources present o Resources identified in the Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County • Battlefield or site identified in the Frederick County Battlefield Network Plan • Resource recognized as significant in the Third Winchester (Opequon) Battlefield Preservation Plan, the Kernstown Battlefield Resource Management Plan or the Star Fort Management and Interpretation Plan Battlefield identified in the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District (SVBNHD) Management Plan Other resource not yet recognized or surveyed Describe and address the significance of the historic resources found on adjacent properties (address same list as above) Describe applicant's proposed treatments / protections for the on-site and off-site historic resources and their adequacy in protecting the identified resources "Based on these findings, we recommend the following: • Approval as proposed, or-- • Approval with the following additional recommendations; or • Denial; or- . --- • Denial, but if the Planning _Commission / Board of Supervisors chooses to approve, then we offer the following recommendations; and / or • Additional review of the proposed development by the HRAB is needed at master development plan/site plan/subdivision plat submission, because the applicant is unable to provide enough information about the proposed development at this time for adequate HRAB recommendations to be made." Formulating Good Recommendations, June 2004 Prepared by Sympoeticq Woodstock V4 Page 1 Recommendations The following provides some guidance on the types of recommendations that the HRAB might offer based on the type and significance of the resource. It can be used as a decision document to help guide the HRAB through an organized process of developing a recommendation. 1. Is there a historic or archeological resource located on the subject property? 1.1 Yes, we know or suspect there is a historic or archeological resource on the subject property based on a review of all available studies. Go to Section 2. 1.2 No, but the property is located in an identified historic area, such as a district identified in the Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County or a battlefield or site identified in any Frederick County or SVBNHD battlefield plan. Go to Section 3. 1.3 No, there is no known resource on the property, but resources are found on an adjacent property or a property within the immediate viewshed. Go to Section 4. 1.4 No, there are no known resources on the subject property or on adjacent property or in the immediate viewshed. In addition, the property is not in an identified historic area or battlefield. No HRAB recommendation is necessary. 2. A historic or archeological resource is located on the subject property. For each resource present, answer the following questions: 2.1 Is there sufficient information on the integrity and significance of the resource for i - the f=S-to make�fortned recerrdatie-3 2. 1.1 Yes. Go to Section 2.2. 2.1.2- -No: Alternative commendatioh: -- 2.1.2.1 Recommend that the applicant be required to fund and carry out a study by a qualified historian, architectural historian or archeologist to evaluate the integrity and significance of the resource and submit it to the HRAB before the proposal goes to the Board of Supervisors. When the study is submitted, go to Section 2-2- 2.1.2.2 Ask the Virginia DHR to do a preliminary evaluation of the resource, then base the HRAB recommendation on that evaluation. Go to Section 2.2. 2.1.2.3 Recommend that the applicant be required to fund and carry out a study by a qualified historian, architectural historian or archeologist to evaluate the integrity and significance of the resource and submit it to the HUB prior to any development on the property going forward. The HRAB would make its recommendations at this point using the process starting at Section 2.2. 2.2 What is the historic or archeological significance of the resource? 2.2.1 The resource is on or eligible for the Virginia Landmarks Register or the National Register of Historic Places, but is not in a Frederick County HA overlay district. Go to Section 2.3. 2.2.2 The resource is located in a Frederick County HA overlay district. Go to Section 2.4. Formulating Good Recommendations, June 2004 Prepared by Sympoeticq Woodstock Yes( Page 2 2.2.3 The resource is located in an identified historic area, such as a district identified in the Rural Landmarks Survey Report for Frederick County or a battlefield or site identified in any Frederick County or SVBNHD battlefield plan- Go to Section 2.5. 2.2.4 All other properties with historic or archeological resources, go to Section 2.6. 2.3 Virginia Landmarks Register or National Register of Historic Places Properties: 2.3.1 What is the integrity of the resource? 2.3. 1-1 The resource has moderate to high integrity and is worthy of preservation_ Go to 2.3.2. 2.3.1.2 The resource has been so damaged that it no longer meets the standards for the register. Go to 2.3.3. 2.3.2 Register property with integrity. Recommend the following: 2.3.2.1 The resource should be preserved in place with a conservation easement. The resource may be used as it was originally used or adaptively reused as long as its historic or archeological value is maintained. 2.3.2-2 Any treatment of the buildings or structures should meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. Go to Section 5, but also consider Sections 2.3.2.3 and 2.3.2.4. 2.3.2.3 If the land associated with the resource contributes to its significance and maintains irate _grity,_then the J,.md..area contributing to the resource should be set aside in a conservation easement and should be subject to the Secretary of -the, Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes. If the land contributing to the resource is so large as to unreasonably restrict development on the subject property, then the applicant should provide a viewshed analysis from the resource and preserve the land area within the foreground view with a conservation easement. 2.3.2.4 If the land originally associated with the resource has lost its integrity, then the applicant should provide a landscape or full screen and buffer for the resource as specified in Section 165-37 D., Category C of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. Fences and walls provided for screening should be of a type that reflects the period of significance for the historic resource. The HRAB may modify this recommendation to respond to specific site conditions. The purpose of this recommendation is to provide an adequate buffer yard with screen between the historic resource and development that may be constructed around it. 2.3.3 Register property without integrity. Recommend the following: 2.3.3.1 If the resource is usable, it should be preserved in place. It may be used as it was originally used or adaptively used. When changes are made to the property, further loss of integrity should be avoided.
