In order to comply with the Section 106 process of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, this Historic Resources Evaluation report determines the Area of Potential Effect (APE) of the proposed Transmission Line. In addition, this report determines the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of resources surveyed within the APE. This report also determines the Adverse Effect, if any, of the Woodlore-Battlefield 230 kV Transmission Line project on NRHP-eligible resources within the APE. If appropriate, this report documents Georgia Transmission Corporation's alternatives to avoid adverse effects and planning to minimize harm. The Mitigation of Adverse Effect is outlined in the Programmatic Agreement among the Rural Utilities Service, the Georgia State Historic Preservation Officer, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and Georgia Transmission Corporation, which was implemented in 2001.
This report documents that Georgia Transmission Corporation's Woodlore-Battlefield 230 kV Transmission Line project will have No Adverse Effect on historic resources. The Transmission Line will begin at a proposed new Woodlore Substation on the south side of Due West Road and will be routed west along Due West Road to the existing Battlefield Substation on the north side of the road.
Georgia Transmission Corporation (GTC) planners utilized the Woodlore-Battlefield Historic Resources Survey Report dated April19, 2006 to plan a Transmission Line route so as to avoid adverse effects on historic resources.
