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 compound and a proposed approximately 30-foot by 180- foot access route traversing in a northwesterly direction from an existing dirt road to the proposed telecommunications compound as shown on Attachment 12b. Clearing and grading would be necessary for construction of the proposed telecommunications compound and access. The facility would include a 250-foot guyed-type telecommunications structure (255-feet with appurtenances) and associated ground level support equipment. The proposed facility would be located off State Highway 129, near Abbeville, Wilcox 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. Through our review of available cultural records and databases no recorded archaeological sites were found within a ¾ -mile radius of the project site.
During the course of our Phase I intensive field survey segment of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered. We conclude 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. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking.
