Re: Request for Amendment No. 1—Additional Services for Archaeological Survey and Testing
FOREST PARK—PARKVIEW STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
City Project No. 00674
URS Project No, 25337785.00106
Dear Mr. Owen:
This letter is written in response to a request from the Texas Historical Commission (THC) for an
archeological survey and testing for the Forest Park—Parkview project site. A copy of the coordination
letter submitted to THC is attached for reference. On the third sheet of the letter, the State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO) has placed a stamp stating that the THC concurs with the recommendations
in the coordination letter(the provisions that THC concurs with are highlighted in yellow). The
additional services are as described below. A detailed breakdown of the proposed fee for these
additional services is also attached.
URS—ADDITIONAL SERVICES
1. The URS Cultural Resources Department will prepare a Research Design showing a survey with
shovel testing and backhoe trenching.
2. URS will attach another Coordination Letter reminding THC of the project and referring back
to the previous letter and their concurrence.
3. URS will prepare and sign an Antiquities Permit. URS will either submit the permit directly to
THC or provide the Permit to the City of Fort Worth for submittal to THC, whichever the City
prefers.
4. After URS receives the Permit from THC, we will conduct the field work. This should take 1-2
days to complete. Field work can not begin until URS receives the permit from THC.
5. After URS completes the field work, we will prepare a Draft Report of the findings and any
recommendations, and submit it to the THC and the City for review and comments.

Re: Initial cultural resources coordination under the Antiquities Code of Texas and Section
106 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.) of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, for
Fort Worth City Project No. 00674, Forest Park — Parkview Storm Drainage
Improvements from the Trinity River to the West Freeway (IH 30), Tarrant County (URS
Project Number 25337785.00106),
Dear Mr.Oaks,
URS Corporation (URS), on behalf of the City of Forth Worth, Texas, requests Section
106 coordination from the Texas Historical Commission (THC) on the above referenced project.
The project consists of the replacement of two structurally failing 2.4 meter[m] (8 foot(ft)by 2.1
m (7 ft)box storm drains with new box storm drains the same size, and the addition of two 2.4 m
by 2.1 in (8 ft by 7 ft)box storm drains parallel to the existing drainage system,running from the
Trinity River to a junction point upstream for a total of 91.44 nt(300 ft).The project also calls for
stabilization of the fill material underneath the existing boxes by the use of cement slurry from
the bottom of the drainage boxes to the limestone bedrock 7.6 m(25 ft)below the ground surface.
The location of the project area is shown on Exhibit 1, which coordinates with the Haltom, Tex.
[3297-431] and Fort Worth,Tex. [3297-424] 7.5-minute USGS topographic quadrangles.
URS requests concurrence that an intensive archaeological survey with deep prospecting by
backhoe be conducted in coordination with this project, and if the THC concurs, then an
additional coordination letter, research design, and permit application will be submitted to the
THC.
Description of Undertaking
The current drainage system is considered beyond rehabilitation possibilities and therefore, the
project calls for the replacement of two structurally failing 8 ft(2.4 m) by 7 ft(2.1 m) box storm
drains with new box storm drains the same size. In addition to the box drain replacement, two 8
ft by 7 ft (2.4 in by 2.1 m) box drains are proposed to be placed parallel to the existing drainage
system. Both the replacement storm boxes and the parallel boxes will run from the Trinity River
to a junction point upstream for a distance of 91.44 in (300 ft). The entire project Area of
Potential Effect (APE) is 15.24 in (50 ft) wide, 91.44 m(300 ft) long, and 7.6 m (25 ft) deep. At
the junction point,the four boxes will connect to a four-section 8 ft by 7 ft(2.4 m by 2.1 m) box
storm drain system that will be constructed by the Texas Department of Transportation(TxDOT)
and the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) as part of the planned improvements for the
interchange of State Highway 121 Tollway (SH-121) and Interstate Highway 30 (IH-30). The
four-section junction connection is not in the scope of this coordination and will be addressed by
those agencies at a later date.The project also calls for stabilization of the fill material underneath
the current boxes by the use of cement slurry, applied by hydraulic pressure,in order to fill voids.
The stabilization will extend from the bottom of the drainage boxes to the limestone bedrock 7.6
in(25 ft)below the ground surface. The total APE is 0.03 hectares(0.07 acres).

Background Information
The project APE is in an urban area of Forth Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. It is located along
the floodplain of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River, in the Forest Park and Parkview
subdivisions.
Geology and Soils
The project area is within the boundaries of the undivided Lower Cretaceous Fort Worth
Limestone and Duck Creek Geological Formation, and the Quaternary Alluvium, Qal, low terrace
flood-plain deposits of undivided gravel, sand, silt, silty clay, and organic matter found in the
Trinity River streambed(Barnes, 1988).
The soils in the project area are part of the Frio-Trinity series of nearly level, deep, clayey soils,
located on floodplains, and the Aledo-Bolar-Sanger series of gently sloping to moderately steep,
very shallow to deep, loamy to clayey soils, which are usually found in uplands. The Frio-
Trinity soils can usually reach 2 m(80 inches)in depth, while the Aledo-Bolan-Sanger soils vary
in depth, but can also reach up to 2 m(80 inches) deep (Ressel 1981). The area of the project is
marked as an"Urban Land"soil due to the historic and modern development in the area. The soil
is obscured and is not classifiable(Ressel 1981).
Archaeological Resources
A review of the Texas Archeological Sites Atlas (TASA 2009) indicates only one previously
conducted archaeological survey within 1,000 m of the project area.A United States Army survey
was conducted across the river from the project area in 1998, with no sites being reported
(Exhibit 1). There are four Texas Historical Markers located within 1,000 m of the project APE
(Exhibit 1 and Table 2), and one National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) property located
within a 1,000 m radius of the APE (Table 3). Neighborhood surveys within 1,000 m of the
project area show the Mistletoe Boulevard neighborhood to date to circa early 1920s (TASA
2009).

Recommendations for Archaeological Resources Investigations
Only one survey from 1998 (USARMY) was identified within 1,000 meters of the project APE
and is located across the Trinity River from the project area(Exhibit 1).It offers little information
as to the archaeological resources in the area, There are several historic buildings and one NRHP
property location within 1,000 in of the project area, as well as 1920s era homes directly south of
the project area in Mistletoe Heights(Tables 1 and 2). While the soil in the project area is labeled
"Urban Land"on the soil survey(Ressel 1981),the soils along the Trinity River are usually deep
with a possibility of deeply buried sites. There is a reasonable possibility of these soils being
intact. While part of the project area was disturbed previously by the original drainage system
installation, the portion of the drainage system that is planned to run parallel to the original
system will be in an area that is assumed to have undisturbed deep sediments. Therefore, an
intensive archaeological survey with deep prospecting by backhoe° and shover testing. i
recomnwrideq If the THC concurs with this recommendation, an additional coordination letter
and a research design will be submitted to the THC along with a Texas Antiquities permit
application.
Request for Concurrence
On behalf of the City of Fort Worth, URS respectfully requests the concurrence of the THtythav
an intensive4rchaeological survey be conducted in coordination with the project describbd abo
It is understood that if the THC concurs, an additional coordination letter, research design, and
permit application will be sent to the THC, and that no work will begin on the project until the
THC responds to this request.
