Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

Another example where it's not charted on the airport diagram: Roanoke, VA
has a critical area marked with signage and pavement marking on taxiway
Echo, but it's not on the airport diagram
(http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0511/00349AD.PDF).

The approach to that runway
(http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0511/00349LDA6.PDF)is an LDA with glide slope
and the localizer is not aligned with the runway. I'm not sure where the
localizer/glide slope antenna is, but from the diagram it must be located
somewhere on the non-runway side of taxiway Echo.



The LOC/DME is depicted on the LDA RWY 6 approach plate. It's southwest of
the runway 15/33 intersection with taxiway E.


So it is. Thanks. It looks like the area where the glide slope would be bounced
off the ground is right about where taxiway E lies.
