Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The proposed undertaking would include a proposed 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area that would include a 320-foot overall height guyed-type telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment.
The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 948-foot long by 40-foot wide (289-meter by 12-meter) access/utility easement, along with three proposed 50-foot wide guy wire easements each measuring 210 feet (64 meters) in length. The proposed facility would be located at 0 Magnolia Street, Jeffersonville, Twiggs County, Georgia.
This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking, on the project site, might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. During our database research, we found one previously recorded archaeological site (9TW53) and no archaeological surveys within our standard 1-mile background research radius. Site 9TW53 is not located within our APE for direct effects. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
ECA believes that the proposed undertaking would have no effect on any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
