AT&T Site GA5223, 1073 Godfrey Road, Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia

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 1073 Godfrey Road, Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia. The facility would consist of a proposed 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) fenced compound surrounding a 270-foot overall height self-supporting lattice telecommunications structure. The proposed facility would be accessible by an approximate 500-foot long by 30-foot (152-meter by 9-meter) wide access/utility easement. Approximately 260 feet (79 meters) of the proposed access/utility easement follows an existing gravel drive. 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, 12 archaeological sites (9PM836, 838, 844, 1077, 1084 through 1087, 1096, 1098, 1164, and 1165) and five surveys (1013, 1126, 1148, 1812, and 4115) were identified within a ¾-mile research radius, but outside the APE for direct effects. Furthermore, during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered. ECA believes that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Based on our findings related to archaeological resources, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
