Addendum to cultural resource survey of proposed Newton county raw water reservoir and dam site in Newton and Walton counties. A proposal to perform testing at 5 sites in the proposed Newton county raw water reservoir impoundment. During the survey of the aforementioned reservoir site, Webb Diversified Consulting discovered 5 sites that will require additional work to determine their potential for yielding significant archeological data about their respective temporal, functional and/or cultural affiliations. This should include a determination of each site's National Register eligibility status. These efforts will constitute the next step in 106 compliance and COE 404 permitting. What follows is a technical proposal for implementing the testing of these resources. A budget is attached. The sites to be investigated are NRW3, Woodland/Mississippian, camp/farmstead; NRW4, Woodland/Mississippian, camp/farmstead; NRW6, Woodland/Mississippian, camp; NRW12, Woodland/Mississippian, base camp; NRW17, Woodland/Mississippian, diabase reduction station possibly Late Archaic.
