Mysterious spray paint markings on road

[MountainBuck]

This spray paint just appeared on the road in front of my gravel driveway.

I share this driveway with several other neighbors. I'm wondering if someone is planning an excavation of some sort soon and they had to get the markings.

There is a standard phone/power/cable pole about 10 feet from this spot but other than that no traffic signals.

It does seem to be the highest point in the area topography, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Looks like markings for a requested utility locate. We always used white to mark them.

Some project is in the works!

Russian invasion code.... at least that's the rumor.

Check your deed. Mine doesn't allow ANY unauthorized utility encroachments. I have authorized ONE for a $5000 'fee' for a County EMS network line. That's it.

Probably utility locate to replace the pole near the marking

I’d say they want a utility locate in all 4 directions 50 feet. I’m not sure what toc means? When I was doing construction staking it meant top of curb.

Top of curb was what I remember but who knows these days.

A new cell 5G phone tower is going in at the center of the mark. Guy wires will be placed 50' in each of the directions. T.O.C. is Tower On Center.

These towers generate microwave energy beams. You will feel warmer the closer you get to the tower.

On the road?

Hello fellow TN resident.
TOC is shorthand for TN One Call. The local TN utility supplier is requesting the contracted utility locator ( usually USIC ) to locate all public utilities within 50 feet of the "X" mark in advance of digging or boring at or near the X.

USIC will not locate/mark private utilities.
