Abstract

Trileaf Corporation is in the process of completing a NEPA review at the referenced property. Our client proposes to construct a 235-foot self-support communications tower, with an overall height of 240 feet, and associated equipment within a 100-foot by 100-foot (10,000-square-foot) lease area. The project includes an access/utility easement, measuring approximately 30 feet wide extending slightly southwest away from the lease area towards Georgia Highway 80. Currently, the proposed tower compound lease area is located within a grass-covered field, and the access/utility easement is located partially in a grass-covered field, then partially within an existing gravel driveway. The antenna will be licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

In accordance with the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission, dated September 2004, a cultural resource investigation has been conducted. Our investigation includes determining if the site is contained in, on, or within the viewshed of a building, site, district, structure or object, significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering or culture, that is listed, or eligible for listing on the State or National Registers of Historic Places, or located in or on an Indian Religious Site. Summary reports of this investigation, maps, photographs and other information are provided in the attached Form 620. As noted in Attachment 5, there are No Historic Properties in the APE for Direct Effects or for Visual Effects. Therefore, it is recommended that the proposed undertaking proceed without further archaeological review.
