An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. During our database research, we found nine previously recorded archaeological sites (9CO26, 9CO79, 9CO80, 9CO396, 9CO417, 9CO439, 9CO439, 9CO466, 9CO663, and 9CO665) and three archaeological survey reports (74, 1246, and 4149) within 1-mile of the subject site. None of the aforementioned sites were located within the APE for direct effects for the proposed undertaking. During our fieldwork we uncovered no archaeological cultural artifacts (see Attachment E-1c). Therefore, based on our findings, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
Based on this documentation, prepared in accordance with the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement effective March 7, 2005, ECA believes that this proposed facility would have no effect on any Historic Properties identified in accordance with the NPA. Therefore, we recommend a finding of "No Effect" for the proposed undertaking.
