Phase I Archaeology Report of Negative Findings For A Proposed 39-Foot Tall Overall Height Small Pole Telecommunications Support Structure TCNS ID# 162021

Environmental Corporation of America's client, Crown Castle USA Inc., is proposing to construct a 39-foot tall overall height small pole telecommunications support structure located at 799 Brittain Drive NW, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. ECA conducted a Phase I Archaeological Assessment of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) consisting of background research, field investigations, and preparation of this report. The APE for direct effects includes a proposed 10-foot by LO-foot (3 -meter by 3-meter) pole site and all the immediately adjacent areas.

An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. ECA conducted database research in order to identify any previously recorded archaeological sites and surveys within the project area and surrounding areas. In addition to the proposed pole discussed in this report, Crown Castle USA is proposing additional poles in the surrounding areas. Therefore, ECA conducted research within a 2.5-mile radius that encompasses all of the proposed poles. We identified 61 previously identified archaeological sites (99FU74, 9FU77, 9FU78, 9FU79, 9FU80, 9FU81, 9FU82 (1), 9FU82 (2), 9FU85, 9FU89 (1), 9FU89 (2), 9FU90, 9FU91, 9FU92, 9FU93, 9FU94, 9FU102, 9FU107, 9FU112, 9FU113, 9FU114, 9FU115, 9FU116, 9FU117, 9FU118, 9FU119, 9FU120, 9FU121, 9FU122, 9FU183, 9FU194, 9FU195, 9FU196, 9FU200, 9FU245, 9FU252, 9FU253, 9FU254, 9FU318, 9FU334, 9FU482, 9FU483, 9FU484, 9FU485, 9FU515, 9FU516, 9FU517, 9FU518, 9FU533, 9FU536, 9FU577, 9FU578, 9FU579, 9FU582, 9FU584, 9FU585, 9FU587, 9FU588, 9FU687, 9FU688, and 9FU726) and 87 surveys (343, 351, 638, 830, 870, 1500, 1717, 2031, 2289, 2396, 2607, 2608, 2621, 2901, 3002, 3130, 3195, 3196, 3208, 3280, 3385, 3388, 3511, 3512, 3537, 3632, 3670, 3686, 3701, 3820, 3887, 3941, 4033, 4124, 4269, 4293, 4336, 5454, 5691, 5696, 5712, 5714, 5721, 5737, 5740, 5743, 5745, 5746, 5747, 5761, 5770, 5778, 5781, 5924, 5935, 6375, 6732, 7029, 7118, 7129, 7429, 7434, 7443, 7457, 7647, 7679, 7929, 8065, 8141, 8181, 8205, 8210, 8337, 8385, 8473, 8499, 8535, 8554, 8572, 8635, 8837, 8866, 8907, 8978, 9382, 9409, and 9514) within the 2.5-mile research radius, but outside the APE for direct effects. None of the previously recorded archaeological sites or surveys were located within or near the APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we uncovered no archaeological sites (see Attachment E-1 c). Field notes for the negative findings are on file with Environmental Corporation of America.

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.
