Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking within the project area. The project area includes a proposed approximate 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area and a proposed approximate 155-foot by 20-foot (47-meter by 6-meter) access/utility easement. The facility would consist of a fenced compound that would include a proposed 199-foot (61-meter) overall height monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The project area is located off Georgia Highway 83 (AKA Bostwick Highway), Bostwick, Morgan County, Georgia. This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project area, might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. Through our review of available cultural records and databases, no previously recorded archaeological sites or surveys were identified within a ¾-mile background search radius. 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.
