Environmental Assessment and Assessment of Effect for the Installation of Verizon Wireless Antenna and Facility at Park Ridge

The National Park Service (NPS) is considering issuing a right-of-way permit to Verizon Wireless for the construction of a wireless telecommunications tower and support structures atop Park Ridge within Kings Canyon National Park, Tulare County, California. The NPS is required by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to consider all applications for the installation of cellular equipment on NPS lands.

The environmental assessment (EA) analyzes potential impacts associated with the proposed action and a no-action alternative. The EA was available for public review and comment from May 20 through June 22, 2009.

Currently, NPS staff are reviewing the public comments submitted during the review period, and will be developing a decision document in the near future.
