Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site is a proposed telecommunications facility located nearest 3544 Arbor Hill Road near Canton in Cherokee County, Georgia. The proposed telecommunications compound would measure approximately 80-feet by 80-feet with a proposed approximate 680-foot by 20-foot access route. The facility would include a 180-foot mono-pine stealth telecommunications structure (185-feet with appurtenances) and associated ground level support equipment.
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, no previously recorded archaeological sites were identified within the area for direct effects. Furthermore, during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
We conclude that the proposed 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. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
