Cultural Resource Survey of Two Parcels Located Northeast of the Intersection of Spouts Springs Road and Hog Mountain Road, Flowery Branch, Hall County, Georgia

A Cultural Resource Survey was conducted on behalf of Halvorsen Development Corporation on a project area consisting of two parcels of contiguous land located west and north of the intersection of Spouts Springs Road and Hog Mountain Road in Flowery Branch, Hall County, Georgia. Terracon has completed a Cultural Resource Survey for the above referenced project. This survey consisted of consulting records held at the Georgia State Archaeological Site Files and the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office as well as the National Register of Historic Places web page. In addition, Terracon conducted a visual site reconnaissance, a systematic pedestrian survey, subsurface investigation in areas of high probability, and a standing structure survey.

No known NRHP-eligible archaeological sites are located on the subject site or adjacent to it. No known NRHP-eligible historic resources were identified on the subject site or adjacent to it. No NRHP-eligible archaeological or historic resources were found on the subject site or adjacent to it during the Terracon site reconnaissance. Therefore, the proposed undertaking will not have an effect on known archaeological or historical resources eligible for the NRHP.

Halvorsen Development Corporation should be advised that should archaeological remains be discovered in the course of staging and ground disturbing activities, Terracon advises that work in the affected area(s) cease and that a qualified archaeologist be consulted.

We understand that this project is a private undertaking and is, therefore, exempt form formal Section 106 consultation requirements. Based on this understanding and results of our findings, no effect to NRHP-eligible historic or archaeological resources is anticipated at this time.
