Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, Providence Real Estate Consulting (on behalf of AT&T Mobility LLC), is proposing to lease a 100-foot by 100-foot (~30-meter by 30- meter) area for the construction of a telecommunications facility as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. The facility would consist of a fenced compound surrounding a proposed 199-foot (61-meter) overall height monopine telecommunications structure and associated ground-level support equipment. The facility would be accessible by a proposed approximate 320-foot long by 30-foot wide (~98-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. We have found no properties listed or eligible for listing 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), we identified no historic resources within a ½-mile APE for visual effects. Further, the University of Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographical Information System (NAHRGIS) did not identify any historic resources within the ½-mile APE. An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. During our database research, we found no previously recorded archaeological sites or surveys located within a 1-mile background research radius. During our fieldwork, we discovered no archaeological sites and uncovered no archaeological cultural artifacts (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. Based on this documentation, prepared in accordance with the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement effective March 7, 2005, ECA believes that this proposed facility would have no effect on any Historic Properties identified in accordance with the NPA. Therefore, we recommend a finding of "No Effect" for the proposed undertaking.
