Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 4,954 square-foot (460 square meters) and a 275-foot long by 25-foot wide (84-meter by 6-meter) access/utility easement. The proposed facility and access/utility easement would be located in a partially wooded and partially maintained grass area. The subject site is located off at 1222 Quacco Road, Pooler, Chatham 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. During our background database research, we found no previously recorded archaeological sites but one survey report (2709) within a ¾-mile search radius of the proposed undertaking, outside the APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we discovered no archaeological sites and uncovered no archaeological cultural artifacts. 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.
