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 1,850 square foot (172 square meter) lease area that would include a 270-foot overall height self-support telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 235-foot long by 15-foot wide (72-meter by 5-meter) access/utility easement. The proposed facility would be located at 17850 Highway 40, Kingsland, Camden 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 found no previously recorded archaeological sites and five surveys within our standard 1-mile background research radius, but not within our APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we uncovered no archaeological sites.
ECA believes that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Based on our findings related to archaeological resources, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
