Retter, M.A. Date —July 27, 2020 INTRODUCTION At the request of the Aguirre & Fields, LP, and on behalf of the City of Round Rock, Texas SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) proposes to conduct an intensive cultural resources survey of the approximately 1-mile-long Old Settlers Extension located in the City of Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas (Project) (Figure 1). As the City of Round Rock is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, the Project is subject to review and approval by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) under the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT); therefore, the investigations proposed below are designed to comply with the requirements of the ACT. Based on the current project understanding, no federal regulatory compliance is anticipated. SWCA proposes to conduct an intensive pedestrian survey with subsurface testing of the Project Area. The goal of the work will be to identify prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in the Project Area; establish vertical and horizontal site boundaries as appropriate regarding the Project Area; and evaluate the significance and eligibility of any site according to eligibility criteria for the National Register of the Historic Places (NRHP) and for designation as a State Antiquities Landmark (SAL). All work will be done in accordance with the ACT and standards and guidelines established by the THC and the Council of Texas Archaeologists (CTA). This scope of work presents information on the Project Area, potential effects, known resources, and methods of the proposed survey, reporting, and curation. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONAND SETTING SWCA understands that the City of Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas, proposes to extend Old Settlers Boulevard approximately 0.9 mile from its current terminus at Red Bud Lane east to Hutto Road/County Road (CR) 110 with a four -lane divided roadway. The Project Area is approximately 1- mile long, averages 120-foot right-of-way (ROW) and encompasses approximately 21.8 acres. The Project Area is located on the northeastern margin of the City of Round Rock, Texas, in southern Williamson County. The Project Area for the proposed roadway improvement trends through residential developments and patches of undeveloped agricultural land and is depicted on the Hutto U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle maps (Figure 1). The nearest prominent waterway is Brushy Creek, which is located approximately 1.2 miles south of the proposed Project Area. Additionally, a smaller tributary of Brushy Creek, McNutt Creek, runs north to south and bisects the proposed Project Area (Figure 2).

Scope of Work for an Intensive Cultural Resources Survey Citv of Round Rock Old Settlers Boulevard Extension July 27, 2020 GEOLOGY The geology underlying the Project Area consists primarily of Cretaceous -aged Austin Chalk formation with small portions over the Quaternary Terrace Alluvium formation (Table 1, see Figure 3). The Austin chalk formation consists of massive chalk interbedded with calcareous clay and thin -bedded marl with interbeds of hard lime mudstone (Barnes 1992). The Quaternary alluvium terrace deposits are associated with the floodplain of small drainages that intersect the Project Area (Collins 2005). Table 1. Geological formations within the Project Area Geology Labels Geology Mapping Units Percentage Kau Austin Chalk formation 86% Qt Quaternary Terrace Alluvium formation 14% Total 100% Source: United States Geological Survey 2020 ,SOILS According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (2020), the Project Area contains six soil map units. Table 1 summarizes the mapped soils units within the Project Area. Most of the soils within the Project Area are in the Austin (60 percent), Krum (10 percent), and Castephen (20 percent) associations (NRCS 2020; see Table 2, Figure 4). Soils of the Austin series consist of moderately deep, well drained, moderately slowly permeable soils that formed in residuum weathered from chalk. These soils are on nearly level to sloping erosional uplands. Based on the soil's in situ development and erosional setting, it has little to no potential to contain intact cultural materials (Figure 4). The Castephen series consist of shallow, loamy soils with low potential to contain intact cultural materials (NRCS 2020). The Krum soil series consist of very deep alluvial deposits which are found on alluvial plain remnants. As such, they have a greater potential for containing buried cultural resources (MRCS 2020).

Page 6 Scope of Work for an Intensive Cultural Resources Survey July 27, 2020 Citv of Round Rock Old Settlers Boulevard Extension PREVIOUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND KNOWNRESOURCES On April 6, 2020, SWCA completed a desktop review of the Project. The review area includes the Project Area and an additional 1-mile buffer (review area) around the Project components. SWCA used the Texas Archeological Sites Atlas (Atlas) online database (THC 2020) to identify previously conducted surveys and known sites within review area. SWCA also consulted historical topographic maps available through the USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer (USGS 2020), the Texas Historic Overlay (Foster et al. 2006), and modern aerial imagery to identify land use practices that may indicate the potential for or presence of cultural resources within the Project Area. The Project Area is intersected by two previously conducted cultural resource surveys (i.e., Atlas No. 8500015032 and 8500004560; Figure 5). The first was conducted in 2004 by PBS&J on behalf of the Federal Housing Administration. The area survey was conducted along the western edge of the Project Area. The second intersecting cultural resource survey is a large area survey with a small portion intersecting near the western periphery of the Project Area. However, the survey does not have any associated information available on the THC Atlas. One additional previous cultural resource survey was located with 300 feet of the Project Area, and eight more previous cultural resources surveys are located within a 1-mile radius of the Project Area (see Table 3).

The file search and literature review identified no archaeological sites within the Project Area (Figure 5). One archaeological site (i.e., 41 WM744) is within 300 feet of the Project Area. Archaeological site 41 WM744 consists of a prehistoric lithic quarry with one biface and tested cobbles observed on the ground surface. No evidence of a structure or historic feature was observed. The THC reviewed site Page 7 Scope of Work for an Intensive Cultural Resources Survey Citv of Round Rock Old Settlers Boulevard Extension July 27, 2020 41 WM744 was recommended Not Eligible for listing on the NRHP (THC 2020). An additional 13 previously recorded archaeological sites are within the 1-mile review area (Table 4). Table 4.

The historical marker is associated with the larger town of Round Rock, Texas and is immediately adjacent (within 300 feet) to the Project Area. The Stony Point School marker represents the site of the school established in 1891 in Williamson County. One cemetery is located within the background review area; however, it does not lie within the Project Area. The McNutt cemetery (WM-0019) is located along State Highway 79 in the southern periphery of the background review area. To evaluate the potential for the presence of historical features, SWCA examined the historic -age USGS topographic quadrangle maps, as well as the compilation of historical maps found in the Texas Historic Overlay (Foster et al. 2006). Using historical maps dating from the late nineteenth to the mid -twentieth century (USGS 2020), SWCA identified 42 potentially historical structures within the larger review area. One of the potential historical structures identified in the historical map review is located immediately adjacent (within 300 feet) to the proposed Project Area near the western boundary (Figure 6).

Page 10 Scope of Work for an Intensive Cultural Resources Survey Citv of Round Rock Old Settlers Boulevard Extension July 27, 2020 METHODS SWCA will conduct an intensive cultural resources survey of the approximately 1-mile-long Project Area. The goal of the investigation will be to locate all prehistoric and historic cultural resources within the Project Area, establish vertical and horizontal site boundaries to the extent feasible with consideration of access constraints, and evaluate the significance and eligibility of all recorded sites for designation as SALs. The survey will comply with applicable THC/CTA archaeological survey standards for projects of this size. For linear projects, the THC/CTA survey standards require a minimum of 16 shovel test per mile, or minimally 16 shovel tests per 120-foot-wide survey transect across the Project Area. Additional shovel testing is required to delineate cultural resources. Factors such as disturbances, site probability, and exposures may affect the shovel testing intensity. The pedestrian survey will be completed by qualified SWCA archaeologists who will inspect the Project Area using one transect covering the width of the 120-foot-wide ROW. This width of corridor will require a minimum of one (1) survey transect; based on the above, the project will require a minimum of 16 shovel tests to meet the THC/CTA survey standards. Survey transects will be adjusted as necessary to ensure coverage of the Project Area. During the survey, archaeologists will examine the ground surface for artifacts, features, and other prehistoric or historic material for proper documentation per state standards. Features of the landscape, such as depressions, ditches, mounds, and areas of differential vegetation, will also be documented and inspected for cultural features. Shovel tests will be excavated in 20-centimeter arbitrary levels to a depth of 1 meter unless soil conditions or argillic horizon preclude reaching that depth. All matrix will be screened through 1/a-inch mesh for artifact recovery. SWCA will plot each shovel test using a sub -meter accurate global positioning system (GPS) receiver and will record each test on appropriate project field forms in tablets to expedite recording during survey investigations. The potential for deeply buried cultural deposits is currently deemed low based on the previously discussed soil and geology information. Eocene surface geology is mapped within the Project Area, and soils mapped in the Project Area suggest shallow basal clays. The field assessment will further define the potential, and methods will be adjusted accordingly. If archaeological sites are encountered in the Project Area during the investigation, they will be explored as much as possible with consideration to the boundaries of the project. All discovered sites will be assessed regarding their potential significance so that recommendations can be made for proper management (i.e., avoidance, non -avoidance, or further work) and eligibility. Shovel tests will be excavated per THC/CTA standards to define horizontal and vertical site boundaries (i.e., at least six shovel tests per site). Site delineation shovel tests will be excavated in a cruciform pattern at 15 in intervals or less until two negatives are encountered in each direction or landform limits are reached. Photographs for sites found within the Project Area will minimally include: the site setting documented from a minimum of two angles, all cultural features present within the site, a representative sample of non -diagnostic artifacts, all sides of diagnostics artifacts, and representative other natural features and/or disturbances within the site. Locations of sites, relevant features, and photograph locations will be mapped through GPS. SWCA will complete appropriate State of Texas Archaeological Site Data Forms for each site discovered and/or revisited during the investigations. SWCA will produce a detailed plan map of each site and plot locations on USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles and relevant project maps. SWCA proposes to conduct a non -collection survey; artifacts, including temporal diagnostics, will be tabulated, analyzed, and documented in the field, but not collected Page 11 Scope of Work for an Intensive Cultural Resources Survey July 27, 2020 City of Round Rock Old Settlers Boulevard Extension REPORTING AND CURATION Once the cultural resources survey has been completed, SWCA will prepare a report for review by the City of Round Rock and the THC. The report of the investigations will conform to the CTA and THC standards and guidelines. The report will include the results of the background review and the field survey. Specifically, it will provide the methodology used in the investigations, the presence and condition of previously recorded sites located in and around the Project Area, the history of the property, photographs illustrating the environment and setting, a description of cultural resources encountered during the survey, recommendations for management of those cultural resources, and recommendations for additional investigations, if warranted. SWCA will submit a draft digital copy of the report to the City of Round Rock for review and comment. SWCA will address all comments and concerns, and at the City of Round Rock's request, the revised draft will be submitted to the THC for review. SWCA will address any comments or concerns and will produce a final report to complete requirements of the Antiquities Permit. SWCA is proposing a no -collection survey; however, documentation will be curated at the Center for Archaeological Studies at Texas State University in San Marcos. The ACT requires that, upon approval of the draft report, a final report must be produced. SWCA will furnish one unbound hard copy and two electronic copies of the final report on a tagged PDF formatted CD to the THC, complete an abstract text online, and furnish 11 hard copies of the report (without site information, if any) to the university -based libraries and archaeological research facilities around the state. UNANTICIPATED Disco VERYOFHUMANREMAINS In the event of unexpected discovery of human remains or funerary objects/contexts during the survey, SWCA will comply with all applicable state laws (Texas Health and Safety Code Section 711 and the Texas Administrative Code Title 13, Chapter 22 Sections 22.1 through 22.6.), as well as taking into account the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's 2007 Policy Statement on the Treatment of Burial Sites. Any human skeletal remains that may be discovered will, at all times, be treated with dignity and respect. If human remains are uncovered during investigations, the following steps will be taken: • SWCA will halt excavation of the remains and shall notify the Williamson County sheriff and the THC. The sheriff will be requested to contact the coroner/medical examiner. After examining the human remains, if the sheriff and coroner determine the remains are modern then the sheriff or coroner will assume responsibility for the remains. • Appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that the remains are protected and not disturbed prior to the conclusion of investigation by law enforcement and consultation with appropriate groups to determine next steps (if needed). • Excavations (e.g., shovel testing) within 100 meters of the find will be halted until the THC authorizes continued work in those areas. • Surveys will continue elsewhere in the Project Area. • If the county sheriff and coroner determine that the remains are not modern or a crime scene, thereby relinquishing their jurisdiction over the remains, SWCA will coordinate with the project and THC to determine the appropriate course of action and file Notice of the Existence of a Cemetery.
