Elk Creek Telecommunications Tower Construction

Commnet Wireless, LLC proposes to construct a telecommunications tower on a portion of the property currently managed by the National Park Service as Curecanti National Recreation Area at 102 Elk Creek, Gunnison, Colorado. Through the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Commnet Wireless, LLC has initiated and has worked with the park to identify locations that would minimize impacts to park resources. The proposed Property development includes a wireless communications facility to provide wireless communications in the Elk Creek vicinity of Curecanti National Recreation Area. The service offered will allow many different cellular subscribers to use their phones in this remote part of Gunnison County. Anticipated users include those at the Elk Creek Visitor Center and Marina, other visitors of the Curecanti NRA and travelers on US Hwy 50.

This environmental assessment has been prepared to evaluate the effects of the proposed actions to the natural and human environment of each area. Public comment is being sought through July 25, 2010.
