Abstract

Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, Vertical Bridge Development, LLC, is proposing to construct a telecommunications facility as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that Vertical Bridge Development, LLC plans to construct a 130-foot overall height monopole telecommunications structure within a 100-foot by 150-foot (31-meter by 46-meter) lease area. The proposed lease area would be accessed by a proposed 60-foot long by 20-foot wide (18-meter by 6-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. We have found no Historic Properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within either APE. Based on our review of the files at the Georgia Historic Preservation Office (GA HPD), two historic resources including (1977 Survey Property #69 and #70) were identified within the ½-mile APE for visual effects. According to the GA HPD records, neither of these historic resources have been evaluated for eligibility for the NRHP. In addition, no historic resources were identified in GNARGHIS.
