Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 75-foot by 75-foot telecommunications facility and a proposed approximate 70- foot by 30-foot access route. Clearing and grading would be necessary for construction of the proposed compound and access route. The facility would include a 250-foot self-supporting, lattice-type telecommunications structure (255-feet overall height with appurtenances) and associated ground level support equipment. The facility would be located off Gibson Hill Road near Cusseta in Chattahoochee County, Georgia.
This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project site, might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. No previously recorded archaeological sites within the area for direct effects were identified through our review of available cultural records and databases. Furthermore, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment.
We conclude that the undertaking would not affect any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
