description: This report presents the results of a subsurface archaeological testing program at Sba-793 conducted by the Directorate of Environmental Management in May and June 1990. The purpose of the work was to evaluate the effect of construction of the proposed waste water treatment plant on this National Register eligible site. 

Despite the disturbed appearance of the ground surface an undisturbed deposit exists within this portion of Sba-793. The deposit, however, does not contain any new or unique classes of data. Therefore, this testing program fulfills the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and no further archaeological work, other than construction monitoring, will be recommended.
