Browning Secretary of State DIVISION OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES Ms. Stephanie Gudeman Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of Water Resource Management Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard — Mail Station 300 Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000 Re : DHR No . : 2007 -2168 / Received by DHR: March 20, 2007 Application No . : 0274537-0014C Applicant : Indian River County Project : Indian River Sector 3 Beach & Dune Restoration Volusia County Dear Ms. Gudeman : Our office received and reviewed the referenced project ui accordance with Chapters 267 and 373 , Florida Statutes, Florida's Coastal Management Program, and implementing state regulations, for possible impact to historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places, or otherwise of historical, architectural or archaeological value. The State Historic Preservation Officer is to advise and assist state and federal agencies when identifying historic properties, assessing effects upon them, and considering alternatives to avoid or minimize adverse effects. Our review of the Florida Master Site File and our records indicates that the South Borrow Area has been surveyed (Submerged Cultural Resource Investigation Report Indian River County Beach Preservation Plan). In order to avoid adverse effects to cultural resources, a protective buffer zone of at least a 500400t radius should be established around the magnetic anomalies CO2 and CO 5 identified within the proposed South Borrow Area and the Golden Quest # 1 shipwreck (818860) . Our review also indicates that archaeological sites 81822, 81831 , 81R56, 818438 , and 818818 are recorded within, or in close proximity to, the area for beach restoration. Also , many historic shipwrecks (81828 , 81846 , 81847, and 81R855) are recorded offshore (see enclosure) . None of these sites have been evaluated for significance and professional archaeologists have never systematically surveyed the area. Therefore, it is the opinion of this office that a Phase I cultural resources survey should be conducted for the proposed beach renourishment area. The survey should also include a remote sensing survey for any non4errestrial portion for beach restoration . 500 S.
