This addendum report presents the results of additional Phase I cultural resources investigations completed as part of the proposed Elba Coldwater Compressor Station Project; this undertaking currently is under review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This document expands upon the results of associated archeological investigations performed in 2011 (Eberwine et al. 2011). The additional project items reported herein totaled approximately 12.2 ha (30.2 ac). The two project items consisted of an access road that measured 0.2 ha (0.5 ac) and a compressor station area that totaled 12.0 ha (29.7 ac), both were located in Hart County, Georgia (Figure 1; Tables 1 and 2). These investigations were performed in February and March 2012, by R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. (RCGA), on behalf of Elba Express Company, LLC (EEC).
No cultural resources were identified as a result of these additional Phase I cultural resources investigations. A summary of the field methods utilized to complete this investigation, as well as a description of each survey item, is presented below.
