CPS Energy provides this public notice for the proposed construction of a new free-standing communications tower southwest of the U.S. Highway 90 and WT Montgomery Road intersection in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. CPS Energy intends to construct a communications tower at approximately 29.370837°, -98.742790°, approximately 1,300 feet (ft) west of WT Montgomery Road and approximately 1,350 ft south of the U.S. Highway 90 eastbound access road. The proposed tower is a three-leg self-supporting lattice tower approximately 180 ft (54.86 meters [m]) in height. An additional 10 ft for antenna/lightning rods may be added for a total tower height of approximately 190 ft (57.9 m). The tower will require a deep pier foundation and pad. Due to the proposed tower's location and height, the tower does not require registration through the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Antenna Structure Registration System or with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the tower does not require FAA-compliant marking or lighting. The proposed tower is to be collocated and built within a new CPS Energy service center facility that is being constructed at the at the same location. The overall area of disturbance required for the Project will be approximately 60 ft x 30 ft (18.29 m x 9.14 m) that is located within and along the western boundary of the proposed new CPS Energy service center project site.
CPS Energy is publishing this notice in accordance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations (47 CFR Pt. 1, Appx. C, § V.C. and 47 CFR § 1.1307) for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Parties interested in commenting on this Federal undertaking or with questions on the proposed facility should contact: Travis R. Lansford, Manager Communication Engineering, CPS Energy, 17281 N. Green Mountain Road, San Antonio, Texas, 78247, or via telephone at (210) 380-9821. Please reference WT Montgomery Communications Tower, TRC Project No. 659099.
