Cardno, Inc. (Cardno) has completed an addendum cultural resources survey in response to the need to mitigate stream sedimentation along the Dalton Expansion corridor, in northwestern Georgia. During construction of the Dalton Pipeline there were a series of weather events that caused soil to leave the construction zone. Specifically, sediment from the pipeline corridor penetrated control measures and has been deposited in undesirable locations, both within and outside of the workspace and pipeline corridor. Among the remediation measures proposed by Williams (Transco) is the removal of alluvium that has been washed into ponds, lakes, or other small waterbodies. Although Williams proposes to undertake sedimentation removal with hand tools, using no mechanized equipment so as to minimize potential ground disturbance, there still remains the potential for ground disturbance and cultural resources survey in areas beyond the previously surveyed pipeline corridor was requested. Four such stream locations are within Coweta County and are the subject of this repo rt (Figure 1). Those streams are designated here as S2BCO010, S2BCO013, S2BCO014, and S2BCO017.
