Cultural Resources Survey of the Northeast Sanitary Landfill Tract

"Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted a cultural resources survey of the 40 hectare (100 acre) Northeast Sanitary Landfill Tract in Richland County, South Carolina, 24-28 January 2005 for Northeast Landfill, LLC. The cultural resources survey includes a review of land ownership and use recorded in public documents, a review of previous investigations near the tract, and the excavation of shovel tests at 30 meter intervals across the tract. This cultural resources survey was undertaken to provide information concerning the kinds of cultural resources present on the tract and how these resources may affect the future use of the tract. This cultural resources survey provides compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended.
The intensive cultural resources survey of the Northeast Sanitary Landfill Tract resulted in the identification of no archaeological sites or isolated finds. No standing structures are present within the project tract. Further management consideration of the Northeast Sanitary Landfill Tract with respect to cultural resources is not warranted. Proposed land disturbing activities in the Northeast Sanitary Landfill Tract will not affect any significant cultural resources and should be allowed to proceed without further management consideration."
