An Archeological Overview and Management Plan for the Tobyhanna Army Depot.
Abstract
This document provides a tool which can be used by DARCOM and decision-makers at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TOAD), PA to assist in complying with regulations and procedures relating to historic preservation (Technical Manual 5-801-1, Technical Note No. 78-17, Resources Management 32 CPR 650.18-650.193, Army Regulation 420-40; 36 CFR 800). It summarizes data relating to the area's environmental history; cultural chronology; historic and modern ground disturbances; previous archeological surveys, etc. No significant archeological remains are recorded at TOAD. While extensive land disturbance has been defined for several areas at TOAD, two areas, the vicinity of Oakes Swamp and the Passion Recreation Area, are only minimally disturbed and may yield archeological resources. Remnants of the original Tobyhanna Military Reservation buildings may still exist in TOAD's GDA-1 and remnants of a structure associated within the Dodge, Meggs and Dodge Co. may still exist in TOAD's GDA-6. Recommendations for archeological survey include: undisturbed areas near marshland and streams to identify possible archeological resources and areas near future development projects to document inferred land disturbance. Informing personnel of DARCOM's historic preservation responsibilities is also recommended.
