Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 15-foot by 37- foot (5-meter by 11-meter) expansion to the existing lease area. The expanded area would accommodate additional ground level equipment. The subject site is located at 491 Thurman Road, Stockbridge, Henry 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, one previously recorded archaeological site (9HY11) and two archaeological survey reports (468, 1406) were identified within a ¾-mile background research radius. The previously identified site and both surveys are located outside the APE for direct effects for the proposed undertaking.
During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment no archaeological sites were identified. 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.
