Environmental Corporation of America’s (ECA) client, Southern Communications Services, Inc., d/b/a Southern Linc c/o Value Concepts, Inc., is proposing to construct a telecommunications facility as described in the following FCC Form 620, New Tower (NT) Submission Packet. ECA understands that Southern Communications Services, Inc., d/b/a Southern Linc c/o Value Concepts, Inc., plans to construct a 420-foot tall (overall height) guyedtype telecommunications structure within a 100-foot by 100-foot (30-meter by 30-meter) lease area. The proposed lease area would be accessible by a proposed approximate 441-foot long by 30-foot wide (134-meter by 9-meter) access/utility easement, which follows an existing dirt road, and would include three proposed guy-wire easements measuring 300 feet long (91 meter) by 50- foot wide (15-meter). 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. No properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) were identified within the 1 ½-mile APE for visual effects. Based on our review of the files at the Georgia Historic Preservation Division (GAHPD) and the University of Georgia’s Natural, Archaeological and Historic Resource Geographic Information System (NAHRGIS), we identified three NRHP-eligible Historic Properties (the Carl Matthews House, the Smith Plantation Centennial Farm, and the Ypsilanti Agricultural Historic District) within the 1 ½-mile APE for visual effects.
