Wireless Telecommunications Facility Siting
We are experienced in siting controversial wireless telecommunications facilities in sensitive areas such as National Parks and historic districts. We have helped wireless providers develop successful permitting strategies to balance public and law enforcement communication needs with environmental concerns ranging from alleged impacts on migratory birds to effects on unique visual resources. Our representation includes:
- Guiding wireless service providers through the environmental assessments and historic preservation reviews
- Negotiating permit terms with federal land managing agencies
- Negotiating memoranda of agreements between the Federal Communications Commission, the National Park Service, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to resolve adverse effects
- Defending against citizen suits challenging controversial sites
- Commenting on rulemaking and policy guidance affecting wireless telecommunications facility siting
