Section 106 Review TCNS ID 176166 Proposed 400-Foot Tall Guyed-Type Telecommunications Structure (420-Foot Overall Height Including Appurtenances)

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 420-foot overall height guyed-type telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 215-foot long by 40-foot wide (66- meter by 12-meter) access/utility easement. Three proposed guy-wire easements would extend to the west, northeast, and southeast of the proposed tower center and would measure between 185 and 200 feet long (56-61 meter) by 50-foot wide (15-meter). The proposed facility would be located off Fiveash Road, Oakfield, Worth 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 identified no previously recorded archaeological sites and no survey reports within our standard 1-mile background research radius. Additionally, during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no cultural resources were encountered throughout the APE for direct effects.

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.
