Dynamic Environmental Associates, Inc. (DEA) performed an investigation of a proposed telecommunication tower facility in Effingham County, GA. This investigation, sponsored by Diamond Towers V 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 84' x 60' (25.6 m x 18.3 m) lease area; a 20' (6.1 m) by 60' (18.3 m) turnaround/parking area proposed to abut the north side of the proposed lease area; and a 20' (6.1 m) wide by 1,238' (377.3 m) long access/utility easement proposed to extend from the turnaround/parking area to the northeastern Parent Tract property boundary. 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.
