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. The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 1,570-foot long by 20-foot wide (479-meter by 6-meter) access/utility easement. Approximately 1,370 feet (418 meters) of the proposed access/utility easement would traverse over an existing asphalt road. The proposed telecommunications facility would include a 154-foot (overall height) tall monopine telecommunications structure and associated ground level support equipment. The subject site is located at 2270 Smokey Road, Newnan, Coweta County, Georgia. This archaeological assessment was conducted in order to ascertain whether the proposed undertaking might directly or indirectly affect cultural resources, if any such resources exist. Through our review of available cultural records and databases it was determined that no previously recorded resources were identified within a ½-mile background research radius. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment no archaeological sites were identified. 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 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
