Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 3 230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Affected Environment PAGE 3-253 There is one architectural resource within the 150-foot wide corridor. The Midway to Vantage No.1 Transmission Line has been determined eligible to the National Register by the Washington DAHP. There are 36 archaeological resources within the 500-foot wide corridor. These include 14 prehistoric archaeological sites, three historic archaeological sites, four archaeological sites with evidence of both prehistoric and historic use, 11 prehistoric isolated finds, and four historic isolated finds. Prehistoric sites consist of lithic scatters, cairns, and talus pits. The historic resources include a trash scatter and a segment of the Hanford Grade of the C, M, SP, & P Railroad. Twelve resources, mostly isolated finds, are not eligible, two have been recommended eligible, and 22 are unevaluated for National Register eligibility (Table 3.11-3). There is one architectural resource within the 500-foot wide corridor of Route Segment 3c, the Midway to Vantage No.1 Transmission Line. It has been determined eligible to the National Register by the Washington DAHP. 3.11.4.11 Route Segment NNR-2 There are a total of 92 acres within the 150-foot wide corridor and 317 acres within the 500-foot wide corridor of Route Segment NNR-2. Of these totals, all 92 acres (100 percent) within the 150-foot wide corridor and all 317 acres (100 percent) within the 500-foot wide corridor have been surveyed for cultural resources (Table 3.11-1). Despite the previous surveys, no archaeological resources have been documented. One TCP is located within the 150-foot wide and 500-foot wide Route Segment NNR-2 corridors (Tables 3.11-2 and 3.11-3). 3.11.4.12 Route Segment NNR-3 A total of 169 acres are within the 150-foot wide corridor and 74 acres (43 percent) have been surveyed for cultural resources (including lands recently surveyed by the YNCRP). The 500-foot wide corridor totals 567 acres, with 144 acres (25 percent) that have been surveyed for cultural resources (Table 3.11- 1). Eleven archaeological resources have been recorded within Route Segment NNR-3. There are four prehistoric archaeological sites (two with talus pits, one with a cairn, and the other with a lithic scatter and talus pits) and seven prehistoric isolated finds located within the 150-foot wide corridor. The 500-foot wide corridor has a total of 23 archaeological resources consisting of 8 sites and 15 isolated finds. Three of the archaeological sites have been recommended eligible and the remaining are unevaluated for National Register eligibility (Tables 3.11-2 and 3.11-3). Two TCPs are reported within the 150-foot wide and 500-foot wide Route Segment NNR-3 corridors. 3.11.4.13 Route Segment NNR-4 Along Route Segment NNR-4 there are 84 acres within the 150-foot wide corridor, of which 61acres (73 percent) have been surveyed. There are 288 acres within the 500-foot wide corridor, of which 205 acres (71 percent) have been surveyed (Table 3.11-1). A total of ten archaeological resources have been recorded within the 150-foot wide corridor along Route Segment NNR-4. These include two prehistoric lithic scatters and eight prehistoric isolated finds. A total of 14 archaeological resources are located within the 500-foot wide corridor. These include four prehistoric lithic scatters and ten prehistoric isolated finds. All of these are currently unevaluated for their National Register eligibility.
