Report on Field Investigations in the Big Spring Developed Area in Advance of Installation of a Buried Power Cable to Serve Building 420, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Carter, Missouri

Author(s): James E. Price

Year: 2002

Summary

During a thunderstorm on Thursday, July 26, 2001, a major lightning strike hit near Big Spring causing a major power outage to the maintenance buildings and other structures to the south of the Big Spring discharge branch. All major lines were replaced following that event but recently the buried cable that serves Building 420 failed and must be replaced. James E. Price was instructed to provide Section 106 Clearance for the project and fieldwork ensued which is reported herein.

The Big Spring Developed Area is listed on The National Register of Historic Places as a district including all the structures constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Therefore care and oversight must be exercised in planning and installing the buried cable.
