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 off Thornton Lane, Fayetteville, Fayette County, Georgia. The facility would consist of a proposed 80-foot by 80-foot (24-meter by 24-meter) fenced compound surrounding a 185-foot overall height monopole telecommunications structure. The proposed facility would be accessible by an approximate 450-foot long by 30-foot wide (137-meter by 9-meter) wide access/utility easement. 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, no archaeological sites or surveys were identified within a ¾-mile research radius of the proposed project. 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.
