Attachment 6: Methodology, Potentially Affected Resources, and Potential Consulting

Parties
MTA will undertake investigations to determine the presence of historic properties, such as aboveground resources and archaeological sites, defined as those that are listed, or eligible for listing, in
the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). All work will be conducted or directed by staff
that meet the Secretary of the Interiors Professional Qualification Standards (36 CFR Part 61) in
Architectural History, History, and Archaeology. Resumes for project personnel are available upon
request.
Research Methodology
The methodology used to research, inventory, and analyze the property will follow the Secretary of
the Interiors Guidelines for Historical Documentation and the Standards and Guidelines for
Historical and Architectural Investigations in Maryland. The methodology statement will define
documentation objectives and research designs. Research methods and the results of analysis will
be incorporated into new or revised Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) inventory
forms.
Research methodologies will target repositories with high potential for containing relevant
historical materials. Selection of repositories with the highest potential to contain useful
background information will result from discussions with MTA staff, URS project staff, and local
property owners, as well as past reports, and review of on-line research catalogs. Data collection
efforts will emphasize review of historic photographs, maps, accounts, and period descriptions.
These will be used to document the design, setting, and alterations to the properties within the
project area. Research materials will include MIHP forms, photographs, historic newspaper
accounts, and histories related to the project area and buildings or sites contained in the project
area. URS and SEI will review existing background information relevant to this study, including
the 1977 MIHP Form CE145 for Woodlands and preliminary research, photographs, maps, and
other information provided by MTA. Additionally, URS and SEI will access information on file at
the MHT regarding previously recorded archaeological sites and previously conducted
archaeological investigations in and within a one-mile radius of the project area.
SEI will conduct original, primary, and secondary-source research at key historical repositories in
Cecil County, Baltimore, Annapolis, and other locations in Maryland and Washington, D.C. The
following table provides an overview of recommended research materials with names of
repositories and brief descriptions of relevant source material.

All appropriate published resources will be utilized. SEI will also provide text on the cultural
history of the project area and on previously recorded sites and archaeological investigations in and
within a one-mile radius of the project area for inclusion in the report of archaeological
investigations.
Based on desktop research and a brief field reconnaissance, URS and SEI have identified the
following 13 architectural resources within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) (see Attachments
4 and 5). These resources require research, analysis, and completion/revision of long form MHT
Determinations of Eligibility (DOE) due to anticipated physical, visual, or noise effects associated
with construction and operation of the MARC Maintenance Facility:

The Above-Ground Area of Potential Effects (APE) for above-ground resources, to include the

area of anticipated physical, visual, and noise effects. It is anticipated that this APE will be located
within a 0.25-mile radius from the project site and will include any properties 50 or more years old
located within the vista to and from the project site. The Archaeological APE will be the
approximately 120-acre project site. URS will conduct a Phase I archaeological survey of the
APE. Approximately 115 acres of the APE, which consists of agricultural fields, will be subjected
to pedestrian inspection and shovel testing at 20-meter intervals with 10-meter radial tests if
archaeological resources are encountered. The approximately 5 acre farmstead in the southwestern
portion of the APE will be subjected to pedestrian inspection and shovel testing at 10-meter
intervals. If necessary, URS will conduct a Phase II archaeological evaluation of any
archaeological resources encountered during the Phase I investigation that have the potential to be
eligible for listing in the NRHP.
A preliminary list of Section 106 consulting parties include local government representatives,
recognized tribal representatives that attach significance to the property, and other parties that, due
to the nature of the undertaking and their likely effects on historic properties, may have a
demonstrated interest, including legal and economic interests, on the effect of the undertaking on
historic properties. URS will work with MTA, MHT, FTA, and the Marylands Governors
Commission on Indian Affairs to identify tribal representatives to be notified of the undertaking
and provided them the opportunity to comment. Potential consulting parties include:

Public participation will be coordinated with the MTA and follow their established protocol.
Written notification will be provided to adjacent property owners, local government groups, and
other interested parties as appropriate, providing them an opportunity to comment on the proposed
project and its effect on historic properties. The following is URSs working schedule for the
CRM tasks associated with this undertaking.
