alternatives being considered. Therefore, no significant historic resource impacts are
anticipated from the aviation segment of the project. Further research and investigations into
the boundaries for nomination or re-nomination to the NRHP will be conducted based on the
development of the historic contexts, agriculture and archaeology when a federal sponsor is
identified and potential applicability of Section 106 will be determined.
An archaeological survey will be required of the affected property prior to construction
of the KTT. There are two known archaeological sites within the Yellow Study Area. One site
is located on the north side of the CSX rail line near the eastern boundary and the other is
located on a property that has been listed in the NHRP, the Peyton Cooke House, or Forest
Home.
Long-term KTT development benefits include new skilled job opportunities, higher
per capita incomes, sustainable economic development, and an improved quality of life.
The local short-term impacts and uses of resources by the proposed project are
consistent with the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity goals for the local
area, State, and region. The commitment of resources to this project is based on the concept
that the citizens of the affected region will benefit from the provision of new, long-term job
opportunities and improved local economies resulting from the KTT. The cumulative benefits
of the project are anticipated to outweigh the commitment of these resources.
