Abstract

Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, AT&T Mobility, LLC, is proposing to construct a small pole as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that AT&T Mobility, LLC plans to construct a 42-foot overall height small pole telecommunications support structure within an approximate 10-foot by 10-foot (3-meter by 3-meter) area. Preliminary construction drawings are included in Attachment H.

In this report ECA utilized an alternative APE for Visual Effects based on the extent of visibility of the proposed undertaking. View back locations were determined based on a visual assessment and potential views of the proposed undertaking that were unencumbered by intervening structures and/or vegetation. For selected view back locations, photographs have been annotated in order to better convey the location of the proposed support structure. These photograph annotations only identify approximate locations. Photographs of the proposed undertaking and

of representative locations within the alternative APE for visual effects are included in Attachment B.

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 identified one Historic Property (Piedmont Park Historic District) within the alternative APE for visual effects. ECA researched the files at the Georgia Historic Preservation Division (GAHPD) on May 22,

2017 and May 23, 2017. One resource (Piedmont Park Historic District) was identified during ECA’s review of the Historic Resources Survey Files, National Register Files, Centennial Farms Files, Environmental Review Files, and the Identified Site Files. During our review of the University of Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographical Information System (NAHRGIS), no additional resources were identified) within the alternative APE for visual effects.
