September 1, 2017Bonneville Power Administration proposes to allow Sprint to install six new antennas on tower 21/6 of the Salem-Albany-1 transmission line. Sprint currently has three antennas on the 21/6 wooden pole, which is slated for removal and replacement with a new 100-foot-tall steel monopole, as part of Bonneville Power Administration's Salem-Albany-1 line rebuild. The new antennas would be 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The existing equipment would be removed and relocated in the same location. There would be no new ground disturbance associated with the Sprint project.
