The development is planned on 14 hectares (34.62 acres) of marsh and terrace east of Hoover Creek, a tributary of the Little Ogeechee River, northeast of Steadman Island. one archeological site and some modern historic disturbance were noted. 9Ch(SAS)7 is a prehistoric ceramic site dating to the Woodland period that was defined by 5 positive shovel tests yielding a total of 9 sherds. The site is recommended ineligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places because of low artifact density. It is the recommendation of the principal investigator that the development can proceed without adverse impact to significant cultural resources.
