Dynamic Environmental Associates, Inc. (DEA) performed an investigation of a proposed telecommunication tower facility in DeKalb County, GA. This investigation, sponsored by Vertical Bridge Development, LLC, was intended to identify and evaluate cultural resources in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological investigations were confined to areas proposed for development of the tower facility, specifically the 100’ x100’ (30.5 mx 30.5 m) lease area and the 20’ (6.1 m) wide by approximately 1,170’ (356.6 m) long access/utility easement. It is noted that a portion of the
Parent Tract property was developed for use as a children’s day camp in the early 1970s and appears to have been vacant since approximately 1974. No archaeological features were noted on the surface and no cultural material indicative of an archaeological site was recovered from the excavated shovel tests. It is recommended that no historic properties are located within the APE for direct effects and therefore there will be no effect on cultural resources by the proposed undertaking within the APE for direct effects.
