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 10-foot by 10-foot (3-meter by 3-meter) area that would include a 44-foot tall overall height pole structure. The subject site is located near East Hightower Trail and Adam Street, Social Circle, Walton 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. Through our review of available cultural records and databases, we identified no previously recorded archaeological sites and six archaeological surveys (123, 2765, 3336, 8962, 8980, and 9118) within our 1-mile research radius for the proposed undertaking, but outside out APE for direct effects.
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.
