Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 558 square foot (52 square meter) lease area adjacent to an existing telecommunications facility. The new lease area would be fenced and include associated ground level support equipment within. The subject site is located at 2539 Old Rex Morrow Road, Ellenwood, Clayton County, Georgia. 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, eight surveys (69, 80, 5379, 6228, 6351, 6525, 6527, and 6561) and two archaeological sites (9CN45 and 9CN46) were identified within a ¾-mile background 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.
