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 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area that would include a 305-foot overall height self-supporting lattice telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by an approximate 1,424-foot long by 40-foot wide (434-meter by 12-meter) access/utility easement. The subject site is located at 552 Lindsey Chapel Road, Cedartown, Polk 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 identified no previously recorded archaeological survey reports or archaeological sites within our standard 1- mile background research radius. 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.
