Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. For this particular undertaking, the area of disturbance would include the proposed approximate 24-foot by 12-foot (7-meter by 4-meter) lease area and a compound expansion area measuring 33 feet long by 8 feet wide (10 meters by 2 meters) necessary to accommodate the new lease area. The new lease area would be developed with a fenced area that would include accommodate additional associated ground level support equipment. The subject site is located at 1132 Greensboro Road, Washington, Wilkes 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, no archaeological sites or surveys were identified within our :-mile background research radius. 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.
