Abstract

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations require that the client consider the effects of the proposed undertaking on historic properties in compliance of the National Programmatic Agreement (NPA) for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission (Nationwide PA [FCC 04- 222]) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (NHPA). In partial fulfillment of these requirements, Terracon conducted a Phase I archaeological survey for the proposed project. The goal of the survey was to determine if NRHP-eligible or NRHP-listed historic properties are located within the area of potential effects (APE). The APEs for direct and visual effects for this project are summarized in the above table.
