TCNS ID 127465 Proposed 290-Foot Tall Guyed Telecommunications Structure (298-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 consist of a proposed 80‑foot by 80‑foot (24‑meter by 24‑meter) lease area that would include a 298‑foot overall height guyed telecommunications structure and associated ground‑level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by an approximate 413‑foot long by 20‑foot wide (126‑meter by 6‑ meter) access/utility easement, and include three approximate 192‑foot long by 20‑foot wide (59‑ meter by 6‑meter) guy anchor easements. The subject site is located at 201 Evans Road, Forsyth, Monroe 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 identified one previously recorded archaeological site (9MO529) and four previously recorded survey reports (939, 2234, 2627, 6887) within our standard 1‑mile background research radius. None of the previously identified archaeological sites or surveys are located within or near the APE for direct effects for the proposed undertaking. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no archaeological cultural resources were encountered.
