ECA was contracted by Southern Communications Services, d/b/a Southern Linc c/o Value Concepts, Inc. to perform an archaeological assessment as part of the Section 106 Review process for the proposed telecommunications facility. The proposed facility is located off McLain Mountain Road, Jasper, Pickens County, Georgia. The purpose of our work was to determine whether any archaeological sites might exist within the project impact area.
The proposed project site would include an approximate 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area. The proposed facility would consist of a fenced compound surrounding a proposed 470-foot tall (overall height with appurtenances) guyed-type telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 313-foot long by 40-foot wide (95-meter by 12-meter) access/utility easement. The proposed undertaking would also include three 50-foot wide (15-meter) guy-wire easements each measuring 335 feet (102-meters) in length.
