The P140 system includes buried

coaxial cable, repeater huts, manholes,

marker posts, and an access corridor. In

addition, AT&T proposed to relinquish

associated rights-of-way easements, in

whole or in part, wherever cable and

equipment were removed.

As jurisdictional agencies of federal

lands crossed by the project, the NPS

and the BLM are responsible for

determining terms and conditions of

any removal activity and rehabilitation

actions to promote restoration of the

land. In March 1997 DOI determined to

prepare a non-delegated environmental

impact statement.

The abbreviated FEIS describes and

analyzes four alternatives in response to

AT&T’s request to remove cable and to

terminate the associated rights-of-way.

The Proposed Action, and two

additional action alternatives have been

developed to reduce or avoid adverse

effects on desert vegetation, wilderness,

the desert tortoise and recreational

access. The No Action alternative is

included as a baseline for comparison of

the action alternatives. To varying

degrees, all action alternatives include

cable and structure removal along with

rehabilitation of the access corridor and

repeater hut sites.

Alternative A is the Proposed Action

and includes the removal of 174.5 miles

of cable, repeater huts and manholes

along 220 miles of the right-of-way, and

marker posts along 174.2 miles. In

addition, the proposed action suggests

rehabilitation actions to promote

revegetation and habitat recovery that

include the elimination of 39.8 miles of

the access corridor and 4 miles of dual

track.

Alternative B was developed to

protect critical habitat of the desert

tortoise on federal lands. Cable would

not be removed from these areas, and

more of the access corridor within

critical habitat would be eliminated.

Cable would be removed along 113.7

miles outside of critical habitat on

federal lands, and repeater huts and

manholes would be removed along

174.7 miles. Rehabilitation actions

include eliminating 51.6 miles of the

access corridor and 4 miles of dual

track.

Alternative C would minimize

construction-related impacts on desert

vegetation and the desert tortoise on

federal lands. Cable would not be

removed from federal lands and the

access corridor would be eliminated in

wilderness areas only. Cable would be

removed along 72.3 miles of primarily

state and private lands. Repeater huts

and manholes would be removed along

220 miles, and marker posts would be

removed along 174.7 miles. The

elimination and rehabilitation of 5.4

miles of the access corridor and 4 miles

of dual tract also would be included in

alternative C.

For all action alternatives, cable

removal activities would result in longterm (20–50 years) adverse affects on

desert vegetation, animal species of

concern, soil productivity, recreation,

and visual aesthetics, but to varying

degrees. Removal and rehabilitation

activities also would result in temporary

adverse affects on air quality and noise

due to construction-related activities.

Rehabilitation actions would have a

permanent beneficial impact on desert

vegetation and the desert tortoise.

Elimination of portions of the access

corridor in the Proposed Action would

have a significant impact on recreational

access to open desert land, but would

not eliminate access to any designated

recreational site. Due to elimination of

additional segments of the access

corridor, Alternative B would eliminate

access to several designated recreational

sites.
