Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 4,778 square-foot (444 square- meter) lease area, the approximate 506-foot long by 20-foot wide (154-meters by 6-meters) access/utility easement, and all immediately adjacent areas. The proposed telecommunication facility would include a 159-foot tall (overall height) monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground-level telecommunications equipment. The subject site is located at 1960 North Druid Hill Road, Brookhaven, DeKalb County, Georgia.
This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. Through our review of available cultural records and databases, we found two previously recorded archaeological sites (9Da342 and 9Da361) ant ten archaeological surveys (1576, 1997, 3002, 3837, 4542, 5378, 5458, 5744, 5990, and 6375) within the 1-mile background research radius. The previously identified archaeological site and archaeological surveys are located outside the APE for direct effects. During, ECA’s site visit, no archaeological resources were discovered.
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.
