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 telecommunications compound and a 615-foot by 20-foot access route. Minimal clearing and grading would be necessary for construction of the proposed access road. The area of the telecommunications facility would have to be graded and excavated to provide for the 150-foot monopole (154-feet overall height with appurtenances) and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be located at 5769 Conner Road near Flowery Branch in Hall 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. No previously recorded archaeological sites within the area for direct effects were identified through our review of available cultural records and databases. Furthermore, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment.
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. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking.
