Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, RG Towers, LLC, is proposing to construct a telecommunications facility as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that RG Towers, LLC, plans to construct a 230-foot overall height monopole telecommunications structure within a 70-foot by 70-foot (21- meter by 21-meter) lease area. The proposed lease area would be accessed by a proposed 16-foot long by 30-foot wide (5-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement. ECA has identified and evaluated Historic Properties, if any, within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for visual and direct effects as directed in Section VI.D.1 and 2 of the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement, effective on March 7, 2005. An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. During our database research, we identified three previously recorded archaeological sites (9CM290, 9CM304, and 9CM305) and two survey reports (3545 and 9261) within our standard 1-mile background research radius. None of the sites were identified within our project’s APE for direct effects. During our fieldwork, we uncovered no archaeological sites (see Attachment E-1c). Based on our findings, we recommend no further consultation under Section 106 Review of the National Historic Preservation Act for this proposed undertaking.
