A Cultural Resources Survey for the Type V GG Liquid Waste Processing Facility in Washington County, Texas

Abstract

A Phase I cultural resources survey for a proposed type V GG liquid waste processing facility on a 7.73 acre site in south-central Washington County, Texas was performed by Brazos Valley Research Associates on December 28, 2011. The project area is in the floodplain of Little Sandy Creek. It was investigated by backhoe trenches (n=7), and no evidence of prehistoric or historic sites was found. The processing facility will be constructed on a portion of the tract (1.55 acres) that has been covered with approximately five feet of fill dirt. Therefore, this area was not subjected to backhoe trenching. The seven trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed sewer line and randomly across the project area. It is recommended that construction be allowed to proceed as planned. Copies of the report are on file at the Texas Historical Commission, the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory, the Texas State Library, Brazos Valley Research Associates (BVRA), and L&G Environmental.
