Abstract

Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The proposed undertaking would include a proposed approximate 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area that would include a 199-foot overall height monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground-level equipment, a proposed 889-foot long by 30-foot wide (271-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement. The subject site is located off Shady Grove Road, Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia. This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project site, might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. During our database research, we identified fourteen previously recorded archaeological sites (9FO34, 9FO35, 9FO36, 9FO40, 9FO41, 9FO42, 9FO78, 9FO80, 9FO82, 9FO83, 9FO103, 9FO175, 9FO187, and 9FO203) and two survey reports (5407 and 7953) within our standard 1-mile background research radius. Both of the surveys and none of the sites were identified within our project’s APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we uncovered no archaeological sites Based on our findings, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking. We conclude that the undertaking would not affect any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
