From September 22 through October 1, 2008, R. S. Webb & Associates conducted a Phase I cultural resources survey of the Brushy Creek Mitigation Bank site in Burke County, Georgia. The mitigation site covers approximately 67.6 hectares (167 acres) along Brushy Creek and one of its tributaries. The survey was conducted on behalf of Mitigation Solutions LLC to locate and identify cultural resources within the project's Area of Potential Effects (APE) and assess resource significance based on National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) criteria [36 CFR Part 60.4]. The Phase I cultural resources survey project included a literature review and an intensive field survey. During the literature review, state and county records, maps, and documents were examined to determine if previously recorded archeological sites/historic structures are located within or around the project area. Using surface and subsurface techniques, the field survey was conducted to identify, record, and assess cultural resources within the study area.
