Abstract

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 (33-meter by 33-meter) lease area that would include a 370-foot overall height guyed-type telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment.

The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 2,121-foot long by 40-foot wide (646-meter by 12-meter) access/utility easement. Three proposed guy-wire easements would extend to the south northwest, and northeast of the proposed tower center and would measure between 152-160 feet long (46-49m) by 50-foot wide (15-meter). The proposed facility would be located at 5860 Bee Line Road, Coolidge, Thomas 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. During our database research, we found no previously recorded archaeological sites, and three archaeological surveys (2703, 4343, and 9225) within our standard 1-mile background research radius, but not within the APE for direct effects. During the course of the field survey portion of this archaeological assessment, no cultural resources were encountered throughout the APE for direct effects. 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. Therefore, for archaeological cultural resources, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
