The archaeological survey was conducted using both pedestrian and subsurface survey techniques. A single isolated aboriginal tool was found during the course of the survey; this tool was not associated with other subsurface or surface remains, and does not constitute a site eligible for nomination to the National Register. No other historic or aboriginal sites were located within the impact zones of the proposed Loganville, Georgia wastewater treatment facilities, and full archaeological clearance is therefore recommended. The botanical survey of the proposed wastewater treatment facilities was conducted in order to determine if botanical resources, i.e.. protected species, critical habitats, or unusual associations, were present. The areas to be impacted were surveyed in seven segments. Three of these segments (proposed. plant site, segment A, and segment C) were found to contain resources seven significant botanical sites. Four of these sites are granite outcrops, which are a critical habitat for many rare and some protected species and three were Sweet Bay pocosins, which are an unusual association in the Piedmont of Georgia. Therefore mitigation of impact to these areas is recommended.
