Proposed 121-Foot Unipole Telecommunications Structure (125-Foot Overall Height Including Appurtenances) SRBLUE 1730 Bennett Road, Grayson, Gwinnett County, Georgia ECA Project #: K0648b

Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed approximate 65- foot by 55-foot (20-meter by 17-meter) lease area, a proposed approximate 756-foot long by 20- foot wide (230-meter by 6-meter) access/utility easement. The lease area would be located in a wooded area. The proposed access/utility easement would traverse a wooded area and an existing gravel drive. The proposed telecommunications facility would include a 125-foot tall (overall height) unipole telecommunications structure and associated ground-level telecommunications equipment. The subject site is located at 1730 Bennett Road, Grayson, Gwinnett 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, we found one previously recorded archaeological site (9GW280), and two survey reports (1225, 4165) within our standard 1-mile background research radius. None of the previously recorded archaeological sites or survey reports were within or near the APE for direct effects. 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.
