Rehabilitate and Upgrade Radio System to Narrowband Digital

Ozark National Scenic Riverways is proposing to rehabilitate and upgrade the Park's radio system to narrowband digital. Two new repeater sites, at Cedargrove and Rhymer Ridge, would be developed within park boundaries as part of the proposed upgrade.
The proposed Cedargrove site, which was once the site of a ranger station, is about a half mile northwest of Cedargrove off County Road 651. The ranger station building (cabin) is no longer at the site, but a clearing remains. There is an access road leading to the clearing and it is accessible by vehicle. Overhead commercial electrical power is present at the site with an electric meter on a power pole near the edge of the clearing.
An area approximately 75' x 75' would be cleared of trees, brush, and vegetation for the communications site compound. A portion of the site is currently free of trees. The new tower and equipment enclosure will be within the perimeter of the site compound. The proposed 199' tower would be a self-supporting type that does not require guy wires. The distance between each of the three legs of the tower at the base would be approximately 18'.
The proposed Rhymer Ridge site is undeveloped, and is southeast of Jacks Fork near the Rymer's facilities. The site is on a ridge near commercial power, and is accessible from 'M' Highway via an old logging trace. An area approximately 75' x 75' would be cleared of trees, brush, and vegetation for the communications site compound. The new tower and equipment enclosure would be within the perimeter of the site compound. The proposed 150' tower would be a self-supporting type that does not require guy wires. The distance between each of the three legs of the tower at the base would be approximately 15'.
Each site would be surrounded by a 6-foot high chain link security fence. The fence would have a vehicle width gate at the compound entrance. The surface within the compound and extending a few feet beyond the security fence would have aggregate rock installed over a weed barrier mat.
