New Tower (“NT”) Submission Packet
FCC FORM 620
Introduction
The NT Submission Packet is to be completed by or on behalf of Applicants to construct new antenna support structures by or for the use of licensees of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). The Packet (including Form 620 and attachments) is to be submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (“SHPO”) or to the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (“THPO”), as appropriate, before any construction or other installation activities on the site begin. Failure to provide the Submission Packet and complete the review process under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (“NHPA”)1 prior to beginning construction may violate Section 110(k) of the NHPA and the Commission’s rules.
The instructions below should be read in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the “Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission,” dated September 2004, (“Nationwide Agreement”) and the relevant rules of the FCC (47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1301-1.1319) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (“ACHP”) (36 C.F.R. Part 800).2
Exclusions and Scope of Use
The NT Submission Packet should not be submitted for undertakings that are excluded from Section 106 Review. The categories of new tower construction that are excluded from historic preservation review under Section 106 of the NHPA are described in Section III of the Nationwide Agreement.
Where an undertaking is to be completed but no submission will be made to a SHPO or THPO due to the applicability of one or more exclusions, the Applicant should retain in its files documentation of the basis for each exclusion should a question arise as to the Applicant’s compliance with Section 106.
1 16 U.S.C. § 470f. 2 Section II.A.9. of the Nationwide Agreement defines a “historic property” as: “Any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register maintained by the Secretary of the Interior. This term includes artifacts, records, and remains that are related to and located within such properties. The term includes properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian Organization that meet the National Register criteria.”

Fences will be located inside the existing plant site compound and are to be installed after the tower is built.
MANDARIN WWTP TOWER, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
ATTACHMENT 3
TRIBAL AND NHO INVOLVEMENT At an early stage in the planning process, the Nationwide Agreement requires the Applicant to gather information from appropriate Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian Organizations (“NHOs) to assist in the identification of historic properties of religious and cultural significance to them. Describe measures taken to identify Indian tribes and NHOs that may attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties that may be affected by the undertaking within the Areas of Potential Effects (“APE”) for direct and visual effects. If such Indian tribes of NHOs were identified, list them and provide a summary of contacts by either the FCC, the Applicant, or the Applicant’s representative. Provide copies of relevant documents, including correspondence. If no such Indian tribes or NHOs were identified, please explain. The Miccosukee Tribe, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, were sent a letter on April 25, 2007 with information concerning the details of the proposed cellular tower project and to inquire if any group had concerns about the project. These groups were also sent communications by electronic mail and regular mail through the Federal Communications Commission's Tower Construction Notification System. At the time of this report, the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma (April 25, 2007 letter-see attached) and the Miccosukee Tribe have replied (April 30, 2007). It is likely that no further response will be issued because no archaeological sites, previously recorded historic structures, or tribal lands occur within the APE.
Dear Brian S Marks, Thank you for using the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS). The purpose of this email is to inform you that an authorized user of the TCNS has replied to a proposed tower construction notification that you had submitted through the TCNS. The following message has been sent to you from Historic Preservation Officer Pare Bowlegs of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma in reference to Notification ID #26716: We have no interest in this site. However, if the Applicant discovers archaeological remains or resources during construction, the Applicant should immediately stop construction and notify the FCC and the Tribe, pursuant to 47 C.F.R Sec. 1.1312 of the Commission's rules.
Dear Brian S Marks, Thank you for using the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS). The purpose of this email is to inform you that an authorized user of the TCNS has replied to a proposed tower construction notification that you had submitted through the TCNS. The following message has been sent to you from NAGPRA & Section 106 Representative Steve Terry of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida in reference to Notification ID #26716: The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida has reviewed this notification and attachments. After consultation with Mr. Dayhoff and careful review of the documentation provided, the Tribe determined that there is no cultural, historical, or religious site of the Tribe at this location. This determination was based on the documentation provided by Environmental Services. Thank you for consulting with us. Please call me at (305) 223-8380, Ext. 2244, if you require further information. Steve Terry NAGPRA & Section 106 Representative Miccosukee Tribe P.O. Box 440021 Miami, FL 33144 [email protected]
ATTACHMENT 4
LOCAL GOVERNMENT
a. Has any local government agency been contacted and invited to become a consulting party pursuant to Section V.A. of the Nationwide Agreement? If so, list the local government agencies contacted. Provide a summary of contacts and copies of any relevant documents (e.g., correspondence or notices).
The Florida SHPO/THPO and Florida Indian tribes were invited to be consulting parties in the Section 106 review of the proposed tower. A copy of relevant documents sent to the Florida Indian Tribes are included with Attachment 3.
b. If a local government agency will be contacted but has not been to date, explain why and when such contact will take place.
ATTACHMENT 5
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Describe measures taken to obtain public involvement in this project (e.g., notices, letters, or public meetings). Provide copies of relevant documentation. At the time of this report, no public involvement has taken place. However, JEA stated that they will make a good faith effort to obtain public involvement at a later date and will send a copy of the proper documentation as an addendum to Florida SHPO.
ATTACHMENT 6
List additional consulting parties that were invited to participate by the Applicant, or independently requested to participate. Provide any relevant correspondence or other documents.
ATTACHMENT 7
AREAS OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS
a. Describe the APE for direct effects and explain how this APE was determined. The APE for direct effects includes the construction site for the tower facility. The tower facility will be placed within an already existing waste water plant facility operated by JEA. The access easement approaching the site is currently paved and is part of the water treatment facility and will not be impacted by the proposed project. The APE was determined through examination of the plan maps provided by JEA, by noting the location of staked boundaries in the field, and by a JEA employee showing the boundaries in the field. Construction methods will involve placement of a monopole tower installation with a ten-foot-diameter base. The overall area to be impacted is 80 square feet (7.5 square meters) in size.
b. Describe the APE for visual effects and explain how this APE was determined. The APE for visual effects includes the geographic area around the proposed tower installation area within which the proposed tower may be seen, thus having an effect through the introduction of visual elements that might diminish or alter the setting of any historic property listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. This is only the case if the setting is a character-defining feature of the property, which has contributed to NR eligibility. If the tower is visible from such a property it may also function to diminish the integrity of the property’s relationship to surrounding features and open space, thus compromising its historic significance. In accordance with the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement of March 2005, it is presumed that a one-half mile APE for visual effects is appropriate for this project, in that the proposed tower will be 198 feet tall. After visiting the site, it is our recommendation that the one-half mile diameter APE is sufficient.
ATTACHMENT 8
HISTORIC PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED IN THE APE FOR VISUAL EFFECTS
a. Provide the name and address of each property in the APE for visual effects that is listed in the National Register, has been formally determined eligible for listing by the Keeper of the National Register, or is identified as considered eligible for listing in the records of the SHPO/THPO, pursuant to Section VI.D: 1.a. of the Nationwide Agreement.
No properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places are located within the APE for visual effects that has been defined for this project.
b. Provide the name and address of each Historic Property in the APE for visual effects, not listed in Attachment 8a, identified through the comments of Indian Tribes, NHO’s, local governments, or members of the public. Identify each individual or group whose comments led to the inclusion of a Historic Property in this attachment. For each property, describe how it satisfies the criteria of eligibility (36 C.F.R. Part 63).
No properties have been identified through comments of any of the listed groups or categories.
c. For any properties listed on Attachment 8a that the Applicant considers no longer eligible for inclusion in the National Register, explain the basis for this recommendation.
No properties were listed on Attachment 8a.
ATTACHMENT 9
HISTORIC PROPERTIES IDENTIFIED IN THE APE FOR DIRECT EFFECTS
a. List all properties identified in Attachment 8a or 8b that are within the APE for direct effects.
No properties were listed in Attachments 8a or 8b. No properties have been previously recorded in the Florida Master Site File. b. Provide the name and address of each property in the APE for direct defects, not
listed in Attachment 9a, that the Applicant considers to be eligible for listing in the National Register as a result of the Applicant’s research. For each such property describe how it satisfies the criteria of eligibility (36C.F.R. Part 63). For each property that was specifically considered and determined not to be eligible, describe why it does not satisfy the criteria of eligibility.
No properties or archaeological sites were identified in the area of direct effect.
c. Describe the techniques and the methodology, including any field survey, used to identify historic properties within the APE for direct effects. If no archaeological field survey was performed, provide a report substantiating that: i) the depth of previous disturbance exceeds the proposed construction depth (excluding footings and other anchoring mechanisms) by at least 2 feet; or, ii) geomorphological evidence indicates that cultural resource-bearing soils do not occur within the project area or may occur but at depths that exceed 2 feet below the proposed construction depth.
Prior to fieldwork, background research was conducted at the Florida Master Site File to determine if any historic sites or structures had been previously recorded within the area of direct effect. None were found. Shovel testing was then conducted within the area of direct effect to determine whether any cultural remains were present. One shovel test was excavated at the central installation location. The shovel test was excavated in accordance with Florida state regulations and requirements. The test was 50 centimeters in diameter and was excavated to a depth of 100 centimeters below surface. Disturbed soils were encountered from 0-80 centimeters below surface, below which was light gray sand. The contents of the shovel test were screened through quarter inch mesh mounted on a portable shaker mechanism. An inspection of the surface in the area was also completed. No cultural resources were encountered in the shovel test. The attached figure illustrates its location.

EFFECTS ON IDENTIFIED PROPERTIES
For each property identified as a Historic Property in Attachments 8 and 9:
a. Indicate whether the Applicant believes the proposed undertaking would have a) no effect; b) no adverse effect; or, c) an adverse effect. Explain how each such assessment was made. Provide supporting documentation where necessary.
The proposed undertaking will have no effect on any archaeological or historical resources, because none are present in the area of direct effect or within the larger Area of Potential Effect. Specifically, there are no previously recorded sites or historic structures located within the APE, and no cultural remains were encountered as a result of subsurface testing within the area of direct effect.
b. Provide copies of any correspondence and summaries of any oral communications with the SHPO/THPO.
No correspondence or oral communications have occurred between the Applicant or their representatives and the SHPO/THPO regarding this project.
c. Describe any alternatives that have been considered that might avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects. Explain the Applicant’s conclusion regarding the feasibility of each alternative.
There will be no adverse effects from this project. Therefore, mitigation alternatives are not necessary.
ATTACHMENT 11 PHOTOGRAPHS
a. Photographs taken from the tower site showing views from the proposed
location in all directions. The direction should be indicated on each photograph, and as a group, the photographs should present a complete (360 degree) view of the area around the proposed tower.
Photograph 1. From Tower Center to North
Photograph 2. From Tower Center to South
Photograph 3. From Tower Center to East
Photograph 4. From Tower Center to West
b. Photographs of all listed and eligible properties within the Areas of Potential
Effect. No listed and eligible properties occur within the Area of Potential Effect.
c. If any listed or eligible properties are visible from the proposed tower site, photographs looking at the tower site from each historic property. The approximate distance in feet (meters) between the site and the historic property should be included.
No listed or eligible properties occur within sight of the tower.
d. Aerial photos of the APE for visual effects, if available.
