Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site is a proposed telecommunications facility located at 1755 Hodgeville Road near Rincon in Effingham County, Georgia. The proposed telecommunications compound would measure approximately 110-feet by 110-feet with a proposed access route of approximately 50-feet by 20-feet. The facility would include a 300-foot self-supporting, lattice-type telecommunications structure (320-feet with appurtenances) and associated ground level support equipment.
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. No previously recorded archaeological sites within the area for direct effects were identified through our review of available cultural records and databases. Furthermore, during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
We conclude that the proposed 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. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
