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 10-foot (3-meter by 3-meter) area. The facility would include a 123-feet 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.
ECA was contracted by Mobilitie, LLC. to perform an archaeological assessment as part of the
Section 106 Review process for the proposed communications facility. The facility would be located at Goodrich Ave. E. & F St. The purpose of our work was to determine whether any archaeological sites might exist within the project impact area.
During the pedestrian survey, no archaeological sites or cultural artifacts were identified. No
archaeological sites or cultural artifacts were identified during subsurface investigations. During the course of this archaeological assessment, no sites, either historic or prehistoric, were located in the APE for direct effects. We believe that no archaeological cultural resources will be affected by the proposed project. Therefore, we recommend a finding of "No Effect" for the proposed undertaking as it relates to archaeology.
