Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 100-foot by 100-foot telecommunications compound and an approximate 450- foot by 20-foot existing asphalt access. Clearing and grading would be necessary for construction of the proposed telecommunications compound. The facility would include a 195-foot stealth (199-feet with appurtenances) telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The facility is located at 6150 Koweta Road, near Fairburn, in Fulton County, Georgia.
This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the proposed site, might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. From our review of available cultural records and databases we identified four previously recorded archaeological sites discovered during a 1979 Survey along Deep Creek. Deep Creek is nearly ½ mile northeast of the proposed project site and runs north to southeast. However, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered during the course of the Phase I intensive field survey portion of this archaeological assessment.
We conclude that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on any historic or prehistoric archaeological cultural resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we have recommended a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking.
