Trileaf Corporation is in the process of completing a NEPA review at the referenced property. Our client proposes to construct a 260-foot self-support communications tower, with an overall height of 265 feet including all appurtenances within a 60-foot by 60-foot fenced compound in a 100-foot by 100-foot lease area. The project includes a 12-foot gravel drive located within a 20-foot wide access/utility easement which extends approximately 390 feet northwest then southwest then northwest to Highway 153. The proposed project area is located within an agricultural field. 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 and in the APE for Visual Effects. Therefore, it is recommended that the proposed undertaking proceed without further archaeological review.
