On April 27, 2011, the Southeastern United States was struck by a severe storm system
that spawned numerous tornados. Several of these impacted lands administered by the
Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. The present document consists of a preliminary
assessment of potential impacts of these storms on the cultural resources of the
Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. It includes a discussion of the locations of potential
impact, a summary of cultural resource sites that may have been affected, and it includes
recommendations for how to address Section 106 obligations for storm clean-up. The
Ocmulgee Bluff site, 9JA269, was substantially affected, and proposed mitigation measures are
recommended for this site.
