Abstract

Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The proposed undertaking would consist of a proposed 4,476 square-feet (416 square-meters) lease area that would include a 199-foot tall overall height monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 217-foot long by 30-foot wide (66-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement. The subject site is located at 6090 Pinegrove Road, Riverdale, Clayton County, Georgia.

This archaeological assessment was conducted 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, there were fifteen archaeological sites identified (9CN120, 9CN123, 9CN124, 9CN125, 9CN126, 9CN127, 9CN129, 9CN130, 9CN131, 9CNI32, 9CN133, 9CN134, 9CN135, 9CN136, 9CN137) and twelve archaeological survey reports identified (2098, 2885, 2968, 4128, 6531, 6533, 6534, 6537, 6548, 6550, 6552, 8536) within our standard 1-rnile background research radius but outsides the APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we uncovered no archaeological sites. Based on our findings, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.

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.
