Bonneville Power Administration proposes to allow Sprint Corporation to upgrade their antennas and equipment on their existing site called Burdoin. The site is located on Bonneville Power Administration’s transmission tower, along the McNary-Ross No. 1 transmission line, in Section 28, Township 3 North, Range 12 East. Two existing antennas would be removed and replaced with two new antennas. Additionally, two remote radio heads would be installed on the antenna mounts, behind the new antennas. The existing coaxial cable would be removed and replaced with two hybrid cables. The coaxial cable would connect the antennas to the equipment in Sprint’s equipment compound, located underneath the tower. The project does not involve any ground excavation.
