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 a proposed approximately 20-foot by 20- foot access traversing from an existing road to the compound as shown on Attachment 12b. Clearing and grading would be necessary for construction of the proposed telecommunications compound. The facility would include a 220-foot lattice-type (225- feet with appurtenances) telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The facility is located off Highway 520, near Richland, Stewart 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 one recorded archaeological site was identified within a one-mile search radius.
Archaeological site 9SW131 has been determined ineligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. During the course of our Phase I intensive field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
We conclude that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on 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.
