Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 100-foot by 100-foot compound and an existing 35-foot by 20-footlaccess road.
The facility would include a 195-foot monopole telecommunications structure (199-feet with appurtenances) and associated ground level support equipment. The facility is located at 215 Truxton Street, in Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia. The facility is more specifically located just southwest of the intersection of Union Street and Madison Street.
This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project site, might directly or indirectly affect archaeological cultural resources, if any such resources exist. Through our review of available cultural records and databases no previously recorded archaeological sites were identified within the proposed project's 1-mile APE or for direct effects. Further, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered during the course of the Phase I intensive field survey portion of this archaeological assessment.
Our research revealed a National Register Historic District, numerous surveyed structures of which three are apparently destroyed, one proposed National Register Railroad Depot, and an identified African American District all located on the outer fringes of the1-mile APE for visual effects. However, due to distances, the intervening tree lines, and modem intrusions, we believe the proposed facility will have no visual effect upon these resources.
We conclude that the undertaking would have no effect upon any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking.
