Dear Ms. Bellrichard:
We reviewed the information received in our office on 1/14/2013 concerning the above-referenced telecommunications
project. Thank you for providing the Iowa Historic Preservation Office(SHPO)with the opportunity to review this
undertaking.We make the following comments and recommendations based on our review of this material,consultation
of SHPO files,and in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and its
implementing regulations 36 CFR part 800 (revised,effective August 5,2004),as well as the requirements set forth in
the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement(NPA)for FCC undertakings(effective March 7,2005)and the Nationwide
Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas.
The submittal reports that there are no known archaeological sites or other types of historic properties in or adjacent to
the project's Area of Potential Effects(APE)for direct effects. The viewshed survey identified no significant standing
structures or other types of historic properties within the APE for visual effects. Therefore, considering the results of
these studies,we are able to concur with your determination that No Historic Properties will be Affected by this
undertaking.
Be advised that the successful conclusion of consultation with the SHPO does not fulfill the agency's
responsibility to consult with other parties that may have an interest in properties that may be affected by this
project.Nor does it override the sovereign status of federally recognized American Indian Tribes in the Section
106 consultation process.
If design changes involving undisturbed new rights-of-way or easements are made for this project,please forward
additional information to our office for further comment along with the Agency Official's determination of effect.If
project activities uncover any item(s)that might be of archaeological,historical,or architectural interest,or if important
new archaeological,historical,or architectural data should be encountered in the project APE,the applicant should
make reasonable efforts to avoid further impacts to the property until an assessment can be made by an individual
meeting the Secretary of the Interior's professional qualifications standards(36 CFR Part 61).
We have made these comments and recommendations according to our responsibility defined by Federal law pertaining
to the Section 106 process. Should you have any additional comments or questions,please contact me at
doug.jones@iowa.gov or at 515.281.4358.
Sincerelv.

Based on the information provided,we would be able to concur with a revised determination of'no adverse effect'
upon 13SR199,whose boundaries have yet to be fully defined and significance/NR eligibility have yet to be formally
evaluated.

Hello Dan, I left you a voicemail but I thought I'd follow-up with an email as well. Just wanted to check in on the review
of this project since we sent the additional information a few weeks ago. Verizon is very anxious to complete this one,
so please let me know as soon as possible if you have any concerns or need anything else.
Thanks,

Ms.Bellrichard-
We have received your February 2,2016 supplemental submittal regarding the above-referenced federal undertaking. We
provide the following response in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16
U.S.C.470 et seq.)and its implementing regulations 36 CFR Part 800(revised,effective August 5,2004).
At this point we are unable to conclude our review for the following reasons.
1. The soils described in Appendix D are not consistent with what appears in Photograph 5. A buried horizon
appears to present at the base of the Shovel test.
2. The National Register eligibility of 13SR199 has not been determined and is presently under review by our office
and Federal Highway and Iowa DOT.
Additional intensive fieldwork appears to be warranted to investigate deep site potential and determine if 13SR199
extends into the lease area.
