TCNS ID 125451 Proposed 190-Foot Monopole Telecommunications Structure (199-Foot Overall Height Including Appurtenances)

Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) has completed an Archaeological Assessment for the federal undertaking at the subject site. The subject site includes a proposed approximate 60- foot by 60-foot (18-meter by 18-meter) telecommunications facility, a proposed approximate 616-foot long by 30-foot wide (188-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement, and a proposed 201-foot long by 30-foot wide (61-meter by 9-meter) utility easement. The proposed telecommunications facility would include a 199-foot tall (overall height) monopole telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The subject site is located at 4801 Wade Green Road, Acworth, Cobb 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. Through our review of available cultural records and databases, we found eight previously recorded archaeological sites (9CK1024, 9CK1025, 9CK1026, 9CK1027, 9CO643, 9CO644, 9CO645, and 9CO646) and three archaeological survey reports (5371, 6305, and 7615) within our standard 1-mile background research radius, but outside the APE for direct effects. Further, during the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.

We conclude that the undertaking would not affect any historic or prehistoric archaeological resources that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
