Need for NEPA:

All Phase Environmental offers you an additional service by completing NEPA Checklist reviews.  These detailed research projects are required along with a Phase One ESA prior to the installation of communication tower sites pursuant to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations.  The FCC requires potential adverse environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of a proposed communication tower be assessed.  Some federally funded projects also require a NEPA checklist review as part of the Phase One ESA.  The content of the NEPA checklist was developed by the USEPA to report potential adverse environmental impacts on plants, animals and cultural sites.

What's in the Report?  This report comes with a copy of the NEPA checklist and supporting documentation.  Copies of all correspondence with governmental agencies will be included.  Where possible, copies of the maps researched will also be included.  All telephone conversations will be summarized in the report findings and the actual telephone memos will be presented in the appendix of the report.  We also include color digital photographs that will bring your project to life and illustrate the property in vivid detail.  Your report will be presented in written form and you will be given a copy on CD.
