Draft a NEPA environmental assessment and FONSI, or an EIS outline, that follows a reference document. Free to read; every unconfirmed fact is marked.
Questions
If the tower needed FAA notice, usually because it is over 200 feet or near an airport, its owner must register it with the FCC's antenna structure registration system, which lists the owner. Your lease names your tenant.
Federal law says a state or local government may not deny an eligible request to modify an existing tower that doesn't substantially change its size. That limits the town, not you: whether the tenant needs your consent or owes more rent depends on your lease.
Today, an environmental assessment is needed when a tower is in a wilderness area, wildlife preserve or floodplain, may affect listed species, historic properties or Indian religious sites, involves wetland fill or deforestation, or has high-intensity white lights in a residential neighborhood.
