ST9401-SY 970912P.O. Box 478 Coppell, Texas 75019 214-462-0022 September 12, 1997 Mr. Bill Martin Texas Historical Commission Division of Antiquities Protection P.O. Box 12276 Austin, Texas 78711-2276 RE: Denton Tap Road ST 94-01 Dear Mr. Martin: Attached to this letter is a copy of an Antiquities Permit Application concerning the expansion of a bridge on Denton Tap Road at Denton Creek. Include with the application is additional information which may be of benefit to the reviewer of this permit application. 1. Copies of the Carro!!ton Quadrangle USGS map showing the limits of the entire project and also the location of the bridge expansion and the proposed study area. 2. Sheet #6 of the proposed construction plans for Denton Tap Road. This sheet is color coded to show the exiting bridge in yellow, the proposed bridge in blue, the existing 30" water line in pink, and the existing 15" sanitary sewer line in green. The prorde view also shows how much the opening beneath the bridge will be cut with the widening of the bridge. 3. Sheet S-3 of 9, again of the Denton Tap Road bridge plans, shows basic information on the cross section of the bridge. 4. Sheet 24 of 44 of sanitary sewer improvements from 1976. This sheet shows the plan and profile view of the 15" sewer line south of Denton Creek. This shows the depth that the sewer line was placed beneath the existing ground. 5. Sheet 10 of 22 from 1973 that shows the plan and prof'de view of the 30" City of Dallas water line. This plan shows the depth that the water line was placed in this area. The attached information should be self explanatory, however, if you have any questions please contact this office at (972)304-3679. The Denton Tap Road project has been designed since 1995. With this budget year, starting October 1, 1997, City Council has provided funding for the expansion of Denton Tap Road and has directed staff to open bids on the project prior to the end of 1997. While this permit application is short notice, the time line provided by Council to staff was also unexpected. Staff had previously been under the impression that the prior archeology study in this area conducted under T.A.C. Permit #1073 would suffice for the bridge widening. On July 19, 1997 were we informed than an additional permit would be required. We have since been working with Larry Banks to assist us in providing the necessary information for the permit application. Any assistance that can be provided in expediting this request will be greatly appreciated by the City of Coppert. If you should have any questions or need additional information please feel free to contact either myself or Mr. Banks concerning this request. Sincerely, Kenneth M. Griff'm, P.E.

This site was also subject of discussion by Dorward (1992:6-7), as a deeply buried, 5.5 to 8 feet (1.8-2.7 meters) below the normal ground surface. According to the site location of 41 DL 252 given in Dorward's report of investigations, the site itself was located farther east of the alignment of Denton Tap Road by several hundred feet, and that area has been stripped to an approximate depth of eight feet deep for use as borrow material or as a gravel pit. Several feet (average of five feet across most of the area) of fill material has been subsequently replaced in the excavated area. Between the highly disturbed area and the eastern edge of the Denton Tap bridge abutment, there is an area of an average width of about 25 feet which may still retain some remnant features of original alluvial soil located along a contact zone of higher fiuviatile terrace deposits as indicated in the Dallas sheet of the Texas Geologic Atlas (Barnes 1972). However, a 30" water line approximately 8 feet deep was installed in this area by the City of Dallas in 1974. Also, in 1976 a 15" sanitary sewer line approximately 13 feet deep was installed by the City of Coppell. It is also apparent that much of the original surface of this area was contoured for drainage adjacent to the road bed and soil was removed to some undetermined extent during the original construction of the road alignment and bridge abutment. This is the narrow strip of land which will be subject to excavation for the new bridge abutment. At present, the contoured surface is covered in thick Bermuda and Johnson grass, and surficial examination of the area would contribute nothing to the archeological state of knowledge, but there is a remote possibility that remnant deeply buried strata may contain archeological materials or features. Based solely on surficial examination of the present creek bank below the existing bridge abutment and immediately to the east, the fluviatile soils overlying the highly weathered surface of Cretaceous aged Eagle Ford Shale are less than three meters thick. Therefore, work to be conducted under provisions of this permit application will be limited to excavations of backhoe trenches in the affected area of the proposed bridge expansion, and to a depth sufficient to encounter sterile weathered clay from the Eagle Ford Shale. The number of trenches and depths to be excavated for thorough coverage of the affected area will be determined as dictated by results of the initial test excavations, but excavated areas will be limited to those areas in which disturbance of the ~uviatile soils will be necessitated by the planned construction activities. Soil profiles of the trenches will be prepared and if any archeological strata, materials or features are found, they will be carefully documented as to exact provenance, materials will be described in detail, and further work will not be resumed until decisions concerning the necessity of further archeological investigations will be conducted in coordination with the SHPO/DAP staff.
