Abstract

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 approximate I 00-foot by I 00-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area that would include a 199- foot overall height monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground-level equipment, a proposed 839-foot long by 30-foot wide (256-meter by I 0-meter) access/utility easement. The subject site is located at 2579 Cleburne Parkway, Powder Springs, Paulding 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. During our database research, we identified no previously recorded archaeological sites and one survey report (4589) within our standard I-mile background research radius. None of the surveys were identified within our project's APE for direct effects. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, one quartz secondary flake was encountered 1-4 inches deep within shovel test pit 3. Since only one artifact was recovered from the project area, we believe the artifact represents an isolated find. Based on our findings, we recommend no further consultation under Section I 06 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking. 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.
