Open House Scheduled at Theodore Roosevelt National Park for Proposed Communication Tower Replacement

A news release containing details of a public meeting that will provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions of park staff and provide input regarding the project. This notice was sent to 40+ media outlets, state and federal agencies, non-profits, individuals, and others in North Dakota and surrounding states.

***PLEASE NOTE*****

This news release was misleading by stating "The NPS will issue a permit to Verizon Wireless to replace the existing 220 foot tall guyed radio tower with aviation safety lighting with a 190 foot guyed tower without a flashing red light. Verizon Wireless will co-locate its telecommunications equipment on the tower and construct a slightly larger support shed to accommodate National Park Service (NPS), USFS, and Verizon equipment. Gravel will be added to the existing access road." The news release should have stated the NPS proposes to issue a permit and proposes to co-locate its communications equipment as the decision to accept the proposal will only be made after all comments have been received and evaluated.
