"Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural resources survey of 1,126 acres of The Ponds, located northwest of Summerville, Dorchester County, South Carolina, in May through September 2005. These investigations involved background research, architectural survey, systematic shovel testing, and visual inspection of the entire tract. Archaeologists returned to conduct test investigations at portions of sites 38DR177 and 38DR239 in January and February 2006. This work was conducted in compliance with state and federal regulations concerning the management of cultural resources affected through development activities in the Coastal Zone of South Carolina. ...We recommend the development of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the owners of The Ponds, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, and the South Carolina Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management to ensure the long-term protection and management of Resource 103 1145 and sites 38DR87, 38DR177, 38DR185, 38DR187, 38DR239, 38DR241, 38DR243, 38DR245, 38DR246, 38DR247, and 38DR349. Resource 103 1145, the Ponds House, will be adversely affected by the project. These adverse effects will be mitigated through a iii documentation program developed and implemented in consultation with the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) as stipulated in the MOA." |
