Phase I Archaeology Report of Negative Findings For A Proposed 40-Foot Tall Overall Height Replacement Small Pole Telecommunications Support Structure TCNS ID# 168684

Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, AT&T Mobility, LLC, is proposing to construct a replacement 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 40-foot overall height pole within a 10-foot by 10-foot (3-meter by 3-meter) area. Due to the nature of the project and the surrounding setting, visibility of the proposed pole would be minimal. Therefore, we have determined that the APE for visual effects should be redefined as being limited to the areas immediately surrounding the pole site, which would be approximately 500 feet (152 meters) from the site in all directions. Therefore, the proposed alternative visual APE would be 500 feet (152 meters). Photographs of the proposed site 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. The Georgia State Capitol National Historic Landmark, Atlanta City Hall, Central Presbyterian Church, and Shrine of the Immaculate Conception have been identified within the alternative APE for visual effects. No other properties listed in the NRHP were identified within the alternative APE for visual effects. ECA researched the files at the Georgia Historic Preservation Division (GAHPD) on March 8, 2018. Four Historic Properties (Georgia State Captiol National Historic Landmark, Atlanta City Hall, Central Presbyterian Church, and Shrine of the Immaculate Conception) were 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. The University of Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological, and Historic Resources Geographical Information System (NAHRGIS) identified 10 additional listed historic resources: Georgia Plaza Park (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244008), Campbell-Eagen Educational Building (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244003), Oglesby Building (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244004), Statue of Liberty Replica (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244007), “Expelled Because of Color” (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244005), Bas-relief Sculptures (GNAHRGIS ID#: 243997), State Law and Justice Building (GNAHRGIS ID#: 243998), 244 Washington Street SW (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244000), and 254 Washington Street SW (GNAHRGIS ID#: 244001), and State of Georgia Health Building (GNAHRGIS ID#: 243999) within the alternative APE for visual effects.

As discussed previously, an alternative APE for visual effects was assessed for 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.
