Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The proposed undertaking would include a proposed 10-foot by l0-foot (3-meter by 3-meter) area. The facility would include a 123-foot tall overall height pole structure. The subject site is located at Goodrich Ave. E. & F St., Thomaston, Upson 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 two previously recorded archaeological sites (9UP73 and 9UP98), and five archaeological surveys (293, 2023, 4368, 5421, 8904), within the 1-mile background research radius. However, no archaeological sites or surveys were identified in the APE for direct effects. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
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 (NRHP). Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
