Notes

General Note: "This study involved the examination of approximately 4 acres of land for a substation and a 0.4 mile corridor for a transmission line in western Aiken County. This work, conducted for Mr. Tommy L. Jackson of Central Electric Power Cooperative examined archaeological sites and cultural resources found on the proposed project tract and is intended to assist Aiken Electric Cooperative in complying with their historic preservation responsibilities. As a result of this investigation, no archaeological sites were found in the survey area. This is likely the result of the excessively drained soils found throughout the project area and the absence of nearby permanent water sources. A survey of public roads within 0.5 mile revealed no structures that retain the integrity for the National Register of Historic Places."
