Environmental Corporation of Americ , Diamond Towers V, LLC is proposing to construct a telecommunications facility as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that Diamond Towers V, LLC plans to construct a 310-foot overall height self-supporting lattice telecommunications structure within a 75-foot by 75-foot (23m by 23m) lease area. The proposed lease area would be accessible by a proposed approximate 119-foot long by 30-foot wide (36m by 9m) access/utility easement and a 75-foot long by 30-foot wide (23m by 9m) turn around 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), we identified no Historic Properties within the ¾-mile APE for visual effects.
An Archaeological Assessment was conducted within the APE for direct effects. During our database research, we found one previously identified archaeological site (9LW9) and no archaeological surveys within our standard 1-mile background research radius. Site 9LW9 is not located within the APE for direct effects. 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.
