Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed approximate 100-foot by 65-foot (30m by 20m) lease area and an approximate 229-foot long by 30-foot wide (70m by 9m) access/utility easement. The proposed telecommunications facility would include a 125-foot tall (overall height) monopine telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The subject site is located at 579 South Holly Springs Road, Woodstock, Cherokee County, Georgia. An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. During our database research, we found two previously recorded sites (9CK434 and 9CK435) and one previously recorded report (4766) located within a 1-mile background research radius but outside the APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork we uncovered no archaeological cultural artifacts (see Attachment E-1c). Based on our findings, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking. 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.
