Abstract

Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, Southern Company Services is proposing to construct a pole as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that Southern Company Services plans to construct a 155-foot overall height communications pole within a 10-foot x 10-foot (3m x 3m) area.

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 in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within either APE.

Based on our review of Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographical Information System (GNAHRGIS), we identified no resources within the APE for visual effects in the Historic Resources Survey Files.

An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. During our database research, we found no recorded archaeological sites and 4 survey reports (1961, 4166, 5421, and 5422) within our standard 1-mile background research radius, but outside the 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.

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.
