Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for
the federal undertaking at the subject site. The proposed undertaking would include a proposed
12-foot by 12-foot (4-meter by 4-meter) monopole site that would include a 163-foot overall
height monopole communications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The
subject site is located off of Blanchard Road, Evans, Columbia 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, we found no
previously recorded archaeological sites within our standard 1-mile background research radius,
but outside the APE for direct effects. During the course of the field survey portion of this
archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
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
(NRHP). Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect
for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
