Clarity Natural Gas Pipeline Project
East Texas
HRA Gray & Pape, LLC. provided cultural resources management services to URS Corporation and Enbridge Pipelines East Texas L.P. for three segments of the Clarity Pipeline Project in east and southeast Texas. The project crossed a diverse set of environmental and archaeological zones ranging from upland pastures to marshy lowlands and from Caddo to Atakapa territory.
HRA Gray & Pape, LLC approached survey of the Clarity Pipeline in a unique manner by coordinating closely with the Texas Historical Commission and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to develop a survey strategy that not only resulted in survey of all Corps jurisdictional waterways, thereby satisfactory to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, but also focused on areas most likely to contain archaeological deposits. Of the 145 miles of pipeline route that made up all three of the awarded Clarity Pipeline segments, a total of 92.10 miles were surveyed, resulting in the identification of 43 newly identified archaeological resources or historic properties.
A single survey report was prepared for each pipeline segment. This allowed construction to begin along one segment while a report was being prepared for another. This reporting method created a streamlined system by which to successfully and rapidly complete the project.
