Abstract

Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed 100-foot by 100- foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area (the majority of which has been recently cleared for timber) and an approximate 430-foot long by 30-foot wide (131-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement within an approximate 85-acre parent tract. The proposed lease area would include a 150-foot (overall height) tall monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The subject site is located off of Wildwood Drive, Marietta, Cobb County, Georgia. This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. Through our review of available cultural records and databases, no previously recorded archaeological sites, but one survey report (59), was identified within a 3/4-mile background research radius. Report 59 is located approximately 3,000 feet (914 meters) to the southwest of the proposed undertaking. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, multiple modem household items were identified within the proposed lease area, but no archaeological sites were identified. ECA believes that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Based on our findings related to archaeological resources, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
