Archaeological Assessment of the Cedarcrest Rock telecommunications facility in Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia.

Subterranean Consultants (STC) has completed a visual archaeological assessment of the proposed Cedarcrest Rock telecommunications project area on April 28, 2016. This archaeological assessment has determined that, due to previous construction and grading, no archaeological materials are likely to remain intact at the project area. This archaeological assessment was conducted for Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Project No. 49167275A), on behalf of

TowerCom V LLC, in order to locate and identify archaeological resources and to assess resource significance based on National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria [36CFR Part 60.4 (a-d)]. The assessment was conducted to comply with the provisions of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permitting under the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (47 CFR Part 1). In accordance with the permitting process, the archaeological assessment was conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended.
