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 an approximate 330-foot by 20-foot existing dirt access road with an approximate 30-foot by 20-foot proposed section of access road. Clearing and grading would be necessary for construction of the proposed telecommunications compound and the approximate 30-foot by 20-foot proposed section of access road. The facility would include a 250-foot guyed (255-feet with appurtenances) telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The facility is located at 1854 Highway 36 East, near Milner, Lamar County, Georgia.
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. Two previously recorded archaeological sites were identified through our review of available cultural records and databases. However, no archaeological sites were encountered during the course of the Phase I intensive field survey portion of this archaeological assessment.
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.
