Phase I Archaeology Report of Negative Findings For A Proposed 40-Foot Tall Overall Height Replacement Small Pole Telecommunications Support Structure TCNS ID# 168644

Environmental Corporation of America’s client, AT&T Mobility, LLC is proposing to construct a 40-foot tall overall height replacement pole telecommunications structure located at 22 Piedmont Avenue SE, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. 

ECA conducted a Field Survey of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) consisting of background research, field investigations, and preparation of this report. The APE for direct effects includes all the immediately adjacent areas to the proposed replacement pole structure. 

An Archaeological Background Check was conducted within the 0.5-mile radius APE for direct effects. ECA conducted database research in order to identify any previously recorded archaeological sites and surveys within the project area and surrounding areas. We identified 6 previously identified archaeological sites (9FU195, 9FU196, 9FU533, 9FU536, 9FU577, and 9FU687) and 13 surveys (8572, 3280, 2031, 3512, 4124, 3511, 8554, 5740, 5737, 5924, 5778, 4297 and 8499) within the 0.5-mile research radius. None of the previously recorded archaeological sites were located within or near the APE for direct effects; however one archaeological survey (3511) was found within the APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we uncovered no archaeological sites (see Attachment E-1c). Field notes for the negative findings are on file with Environmental Corporation of America.

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.
