Section 106 Review TCNS ID 159342 Proposed 199-Foot Tall Stealth Monopole Telecommunications Structure 316 Berry Patch Lane Woodstock, Cherokee County, Georgia

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 (30m by 30m) lease area that would include a 199-foot overall height stealth monopole telecommunications structure, an approximate 1,957-foot long by 20-foot (596m by 6m) access/utility easement and associated ground-level support equipment. The subject site is located at 316 Berry Patch Lane Woodstock, Cherokee 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 two previously identified archaeological sites (9CK2 and 9CK855) and two archaeological survey reports (5812 and 7174) within our standard 1-mile background research radius, but outside the APE for direct effects. During the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered. Field notes for the negative findings are on file with Environmental Corporation of America.

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. Based on our findings related to archaeological resources, we recommend no further consultation under Section I 06 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend a finding of No Effect for the proposed undertaking at the project site.
