Point Reyes National Seashore » Verizon Wireless Proposed Cellular Communications Facility, Point Reyes Hill » Document List
Verizon Wireless submitted an application to the National Park Service (NPS) for a ten-year right-of-way permit to install, operate, and maintain a wireless telecommunications tower and support structure in an area zoned "Radio Range Station" on Point Reyes Hill within Point Reyes National Seashore (PRNS). The NPS is evaluating the application in accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other applicable laws, regulations and policies.
The NPS completed the initial scoping phase of the NEPA planning process in the summer of 2013 by soliciting public input on the range of issues, potential environmental impacts and alternatives to the Verizon proposal that should be considered in the environmental assessment (EA) to be prepared for the proposal. Scoping input was solicited from June 20 through August 7, 2013.
Based on the issues raised during scoping, the NPS is preparing an EA to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a range of project alternatives.
