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 at 5995 Waters Avenue in Chatham County, Georgia. The approximate 65-foot by 65-foot telecommunications compound would be accessible from the west side of Waters Avenue via an existing paved parking entry-way and then an existing grass-covered access. The facility would include a 120-foot stealth light-pole telecommunications structure (130-foot overall 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 believe 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.
